The MOST BEAUTIFUL education

 

JESUS and His anointing:

Luke 4:18

King James Version

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, 

because he hath anointed me 

to preach the gospel to the poor; 

he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, 

to preach deliverance to the captives, 

and recovering of sight to the blind, 

to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Two days ago, we shared with you our most recent post, "The MOST BEAUTIFUL day", in honor of what GOD did for this sinner who wanted to "sin no more".

GOD made me born again, filling my heart with His SPIRIT.

In the process, I got to know the things that really mattered most --

The TRIUNE GOD.

GOD, the FATHER.

GOD, the SON.

GOD, the HOLY SPIRIT.

The CROSS.

GOD's love.

GOD's laws.

GOD's will.

GOD's ways.

GOD's wisdom.

GOD's wrath.

GOD's WORD.

Being born again is the BEST education you will ever have.

It's the STEADIEST foundation you will ever have.

For making choices.

For answers to your questions.

For clarity to your confusion.

For peace to your heart.

For confidence in your decisions.

And I can faithfully promise you that.

Only by being born again, being taught by SPIRIT each day, made it possible for this workman/watchman to write 113 blogs for GOD's GLORY alone.

Being born again does that.

The WORD of GOD does that.

The HOLY SPIRIT comes upon you.

He teaches you what you need to know.

He teaches you everything about JESUS.

In turn, JESUS answers every question in your heart.

He becomes the role model, and PERFECT pattern, from Whom we need to live, work, love and learn.

You begin to understand why things are they way they are.

You are also taught what to think, say, and do.

You begin to make choices you can live with.

Self is no more; GOD and others become our focus.

If you can accept, and live with that, then you are ready for the BEST education ever!

Only the HOLY SPIRIT, prayed for by JESUS, given by GOD, can teach you all you need to know.

John 14:26 

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

That's why I smile at how the world teaches.

They will teach you what they will want to teach you.

The "gatekeepers" will mold your brain, to line their pockets.

As this very telling video on academic publishing reveals.

People think universities offer "sacred" knowledge.

So, they buy into the "system".

And yet, all that collective knowledge merely creates even more chaos, and division, with men's egos elbowing each other.

There is no SACRED knowledge but GOD's WORD.

And that knowledge is JESUS.

The Healer, Unifier, Prince of Peace.

He is the Only TRUTH we need to know.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

We can only do things, through CHRIST.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

And He can only be understood, through the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD.

John 15:26 

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:

Now, you see the importance, and relation, of the Triune GOD.

There is no other EDUCATOR that matters most.

ESPECIALLY in these END times.

And with the imminent Rapture.

It's all PREPARATION now.

The YOUNG earth

 Genesis 1:1

King James Version

1 In the beginning 

God created the heaven 

and the earth.

As a child, I used to be fascinated by fossils.

Eyes growing large when I was taught it took millions of years to create such.

As they were building our house, I'd scour the tall pile of gravel, and got thrilled every time I'd see an imprint of a shell on a rock.

I also love seeing pyrite on rocks.

So I also got fascinated by petrified wood, getting especially tickled by the use of the word "petrified".

I've always equated "petrified" with "scared".

Rocks could tell the age of earth?

Petrified wood could, too?

As you can imagine, I was fascinated by rocks, too.

Loving their shape, colors, and character.

I liked how nature weathered the rocks.

I loved the idea of sedimentation, and weathering.

New age taught me that rocks held "memories".

All I know is I liked the feel of them, warmed by the sun.

Each rock, with its own character.

I even very nearly took up Geology, and Archaeology, all because I loved rocks, and artifacts.

Of course, all that changed as GOD plucked me from what school taught me, from the later new age, and made me born again over five years ago.

Now, the only sacrosanct truth came from the Bible.

Being born again means you are constantly taught by SPIRIT, through Scripture.

And GOD's WORD put everything in its proper place.

Yes, even history, geology, and all other man-made sciences.

To the great horror, and resentment, of these sciences, of course.

Dr. Tim Chaffey's video above tells earth is actually 6,000 years old.

And it even itemized proof for it, according to Bible sequence.

Now, my eyes don't grow big at millions of years claim for earth.

Now, I don't imagine earth wobbling on its axis.

Now, I imagine it's steady, because GOD made it so.

Sure takes out all uncertainty about the fate of the earth.

The earth is His.

Of course, this will drive science nuts.

They never gave GOD credit for anything.

Science goes totally against Scripture.

It always tries to disprove GOD's TRUTH.

Well, GOD does not lie.

Hebrews 6:18

King James Version

18 That by two immutable things, 

in which it was impossible for God to lie, 

we might have a strong consolation, 

who have fled for refuge 

to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

JESUS is that HOPE.

Now, I know what to believe.

Now, I am certain what I tell you.

Now, I know the REAL facts.

I thank GOD for that.

If PRESIDENTS were DEACONS

 Ephesians 4:11-12

King James Version

11 And he gave some, apostles; 

and some, prophets; 

and some, evangelists; 

and some, pastors and teachers;

12 For the perfecting of the saints, 

for the work of the ministry, 

for the edifying of the body of Christ:

SPIRIT gave me an idea today.

We shall dismantle the usual boats.

Time for a new kind of president.

We challenge you to forget ALL you've been taught about POLITICS.

We challenge ANY, and EVERY, presidency.

We challenge ANY, and EVERY, form of leadership.

Starting with the question:

What can we liken 

presidents of countries to?

Whether you're running for office, or are already president of a nation, you must consider this:

Presidents can be like "deacons".

A deacon is a cleric "below a priest".

Of course, I expect lots of protest.

An uproar would be mild.

Precisely it.

Now, imagine this:

You are running for office.

Maybe president of the United States.

That makes you a "deacon".

Oh, but who is "priest"?

JESUS, of course!

Hebrews 3:1

King James Version

3 Wherefore, holy brethren, 

partakers of the heavenly calling, 

consider the Apostle 

and High Priest of our profession, 

Christ Jesus;

Who else has the HIGHEST "office" anyway?

Is it man, or GOD?

Hebrews 3:4

King James Version

4 For every house is builded by some man; 

but he that built all things is God.

You will become a DECENT president if you can accept TWO things:

1. You are to be "deacon" -- second in command.

2. JESUS is HIGH PRIEST -- FIRST in command.

Which He is, anyway.

Now, consider the duties of a deacon:

1 Timothy 3:8-13

King James Version

8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, 

not doubletongued, 

not given to much wine, 

not greedy of filthy lucre;

9 Holding the mystery of the faith 

in a pure conscience.

10 And let these also first be proved;

then let them use the office of a deacon, 

being found blameless.

11 Even so must their wives be grave, 

not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, 

ruling their children and their own houses well.

13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well 

purchase to themselves a good degree, 

and great boldness in the faith 

which is in Christ Jesus.

You can be "bishop", too, if you like:

1 Timothy 3:2

King James Version

2 A bishop then must be blameless, 

the husband of one wife, 

vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, 

given to hospitality, 

apt to teach;

EXCEPT the HEAD Bishop is JESUS, just so you know.

1 Peter 2:25

King James Version

25 For ye were as sheep going astray; 

but are now returned unto the Shepherd 

and Bishop of your souls.

The FIRST rule of leadership?

LOSE that ego.

Matthew 20:27-28

King James Version

27 And whosoever will be chief among you, 

let him be your servant:

28 Even as the Son of man came 

not to be ministered unto, but to minister, 

and to give his life a ransom for many.

The SECOND rule of LEADERSHIP?

Become born again.

John 3:3-7

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time 

into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

When you're born again, all else follows.

You'll be done with things of the world.

But you'll begin truly serving GOD.

In FULL acceptance of His will.

The born again is a SERVANT of CHRIST.

He is not a servant of men.

1 Corinthians 7:21-23

King James Version

21 Art thou called being a servant? 

care not for it: 

but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

22 For he that is called in the Lord, 

being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: 

likewise also he that is called, 

being free, is Christ's servant.

23 Ye are bought with a price; 

be not ye the servants of men.

Chaos, and corruption, comes from serving corrupt men.

You always reflect who you serve.

SERVE GOD, instead.

Can women be president/deacons?

Click here for a Scripture response.

Again, that will raise a ruckus.

Doesn't matter.

GOD's gospel is a NONNEGOTIABLE gospel.

That's all we care to uphold.

There are many presidential elections going on everywhere in the world.

Conducted in man's usual manner:

-- cheating involved

-- inability to accept defeat

-- creating flimsy platforms

-- offering false promises

-- never delivering what's been promised

-- eliminating other candidates, by any means

It's all lies, deception, greed, vanity, lust for money, and power.

Surely, we've had enough of that.

That's why it's time to "re-educate" ourselves.

Time to do it the BORN AGAIN way:

How would GOD want us to be?

How should we conduct ourselves?

How are we to love others?

What are GOD's commands?

What is GOD's will?

All the answers are in Scripture.

SPIRIT led me to the EXACT verses.

He took my understanding to another level.

We got creative, the BORN AGAIN way.

Thus, this post.

So, we challenge anyone, and everyone running for president, to think, and act, like a "deacon".

JESUS is HIGH PRIEST.

You are His subordinate.

You will have to follow His commands.

John 14:15

King James Version

15 If ye love me, 

keep my commandments.

John 15:8

King James Version

8 Herein is my Father glorified, 

that ye bear much fruit; 

so shall ye be my disciples.

1 John 5:3

King James Version

3 For this is the love of God, 

that we keep his commandments: 

and his commandments are not grievous.

Can you embrace that?

If you could, you'd be a WONDERFUL leader.

Whether you aspire to become president, or vice-president.

CEO, CFO, CIO, manager, whatever.

GOD's principles remain the same.

He comes FIRST.

EVERYTHING is for HIS GLORY.

I stand by this post 100%.

John 3:30

King James Version

30 He must increase, 

but I must decrease.

1 Corinthians 2:14

King James Version

14 But the natural man receiveth not 

the things of the Spirit of God: 

for they are foolishness unto him: 

neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned.

How can you really tell things apart?

How can you know that which is of GOD?

And that which is of Satan?

How can you protect your mind?

How can you protect your heart?

How can you protect your soul?

By being born again.

JESUS told us:

John 3:5-8

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Once you're born again, never again will you guess.

Never again will you be confused.

Never again will you doubt.

SPIRIT will teach you.

He will lead you to Scripture.

He will lead you to what JESUS taught us.

He will lead you to GOD's commands, which JESUS reminds us of.

You can always be sure the path you're taking is the right path.

For JESUS is the WORD.

And He is all these:

John 1:17

King James Version

17 For the law was given by Moses, 

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Colossians 2:9-10

King James Version

9 For in him dwelleth 

all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

10 And ye are complete in him, 

which is the head of all principality and power:

Possibly to test my discernment, SPIRIT presented two things.

Yesterday, I was witness to a couple of "claims" and statements.

One, from SPIRIT.

The other, from CHRIST's enemy.

How was I able to tell them apart?

We'll get there.

First, I wrote them down.

Waiting for the opportune moment. 

That SPIRIT may inspire me to delve further.

Early this morning, He did.

Now, we have verses to back them up.

STATEMENT inspired by SPIRIT:

"GOD loves everyone,

but not everyone love GOD."

Proof that GOD loves everyone?

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

Galatians 3:28-29

King James Version

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, 

there is neither bond nor free, 

there is neither male nor female: 

for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, 

and heirs according to the promise.

2 Peter 3:9

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.

Proof that not everyone love GOD?

Romans 3:10

King James Version

10 As it is written, 

There is none righteous, 

no, not one:

Romans 3:11

King James Version

11 There is none that understandeth, 

there is none that seeketh after God.

Romans 3:12

King James Version

12 They are all gone out of the way, 

they are together become unprofitable; 

there is none that doeth good, 

no, not one.

If everyone loved GOD, they would become born again.

If everyone loved GOD, they would turn away from sin.

If everyone loved GOD, they would repent.

But no -- everyone continues to sin.

They don't care for the things of GOD.

When they sin, they follow Satan.

STATEMENT from the enemy:

I was watching a video last night wherein a former satanist claimed along the lines:

a fallen angel is assigned 

every day of the week,

for several hours, each day,  

(with exact schedules)

allotted for them 

to wreak havoc on us

Right, as if they kept their evil in check.

The Bible states:

1 Peter 5:8

King James Version

8 Be sober, be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, 

walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:

Ephesians 6:12

King James Version

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, 

but against principalities, 

against powers, 

against the rulers of the darkness of this world, 

against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Revelation 12:12

King James Version

12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, 

and ye that dwell in them. 

Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! 

for the devil is come down unto you, 

having great wrath, 

because he knoweth 

that he hath but a short time.

Satan waits in ambush, ALL the time.

Knowing his time is short, why would he waste time?

He will make time, his time.

That he may destroy ALL who GOD loves.

And ALL who love GOD.

It is not a some-of-the-time thing.

It is a moment-by-moment vigilance we need to have.

We need to be awake, aware, and alert, ALL the time.

If not for SPIRIT, I wouldn't have been able to discern.

But through Him, I was able to, and junked the rest of the video.

Those daily, and hourly, schedules were laughable.

I can't possibly let the enemy clutter my brain.

Both statements have something to do with "time".

Like an "ALL-the-time" thing:

GOD loves us ALL the time.

Satan corrupts us ALL the time.

But Satan's deeds will go to waste.

GOD is MASTER of TIME:

Isaiah 43:13

King James Version

13 Yea, before the day was I am he; 

and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: 

I will work, and who shall let it?

There is only GOD:

Isaiah 43:10

King James Version

10 Ye are my witnesses, 

saith the Lord, 

and my servant whom I have chosen: 

that ye may know and believe me, 

and understand that I am he: 

before me there was no God formed, 

neither shall there be after me.

And He is MASTER of SALVATION:

Isaiah 43:11

King James Version

11 I, even I, 

am the Lord; 

and beside me 

there is no saviour.

As you can see, the BIBLE is WITNESS to GOD's TRUTH.

That's why I love Scripture so much!

It is my BEST FRIEND in these end times.

There is no confusion.

Only clarity.

The RIGHT direction

 

Psalm 94:8

King James Version

8 Understand, 

ye brutish among the people: 

and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

What direction should you take in life?

Who can tell you which path to take?

Who can you trust?

What should you believe in?

Are you looking for something with more soul, substance, and spirit?

Let's have a look at what the intellectual world offers.

Ever heard of the "4 cardinal directions"?

In psychology, they say it's what the 12 archetypes are "seeking to realise".

Namely:

1. Ego -- leaving a mark on the world

2. Order -- providing structure to the world

3. Social -- connecting to others

4. Freedom -- yearning for paradise

Are those what you seek, too?

Or, perhaps, you seek something different?

Something simpler, perhaps?

Something sure?

Now, look to the WORD of GOD.

What does the Bible say about all that?

What is Scripture's counterpart to all those four?

1. Leaving a mark on the world.

Believers in JESUS don't need to.

John the Baptist says this about JESUS:

John 3:30-35

King James Version

30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

31 He that cometh from above is above all: 

he that is of the earth is earthly, 

and speaketh of the earth: 

he that cometh from heaven 

is above all.

JESUS says this about humility:

Matthew 19:30

King James Version

30 But many that are first shall be last; 

and the last shall be first.

Matthew 20:16

King James Version

16 So the last shall be first, and the first last:

for many be called, but few chosen.

To know what happened to "LAZARUS and the RICH MAN", click here.

2. Providing structure to the world.

GOD does all that.

We don't have such power.

JESUS tells us so:

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

GOD structures EVERYTHING.

Psalm 24:1

King James Version

24 The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; 

the world, and they that dwell therein.

To know GOD's capabilities, read "The ONLY Power is of GOD", "The MIGHT, POWER, and GLORY of GOD", and "The GOD things".

3. Connecting to others.

The only connection we need is fellowship with JESUS.

Which takes care of fellowship with others.

1 John 1:7

King James Version

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, 

we have fellowship one with another, 

and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son 

cleanseth us from all sin.

This is the only connection we need -- through JESUS:

Romans 12:5

King James Version

5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, 

and every one members one of another.

1 Corinthians 12:13

King James Version

13 For by one Spirit 

are we all baptized into one body, 

whether we be Jews or Gentiles, 

whether we be bond or free; 

and have been all made to drink 

into one Spirit.

That fellowship succeeds when we are born again, as JESUS commanded us to be:

John 3:5-8

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Know more about fellowship through "BODY of CHRIST".

4. Yearning for paradise.

Only through JESUS can we have that.

The LORD declared these:

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

John 14:1-4

King James Version

14 Let not your heart be troubled: 

ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: 

if it were not so, I would have told you. 

I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, 

I will come again, and receive you unto myself; 

that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

Remember the thief, who appealed to JESUS, as they hung on their crosses?

Luke 23:42

King James Version

42 And he said unto Jesus, 

Lord, remember me when thou comest 

into thy kingdom.

Witness what JESUS replied:

Luke 23:43

King James Version

43 And Jesus said unto him, 

Verily I say unto thee, 

Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Know more about "CITIZENSHIP in HEAVEN" here.

The world is purposely complex.

So you'll get confused.

So you'll be under the mercy of the elite.

So you'll be putty in Satan's hands.

So you'll perish from your sins.

In sharp contrast, GOD offers you JESUS.

Who died on the cross for us.

Who gave us salvation.

Who taught us how to love GOD.

Who taught us to obey GOD's will.

That's why we LOVE Scripture.

It gives us the RIGHT direction.

ALWAYS towards CHRIST.

For the GLORY of GOD.

It's never been about self.

It's always been about GOD.

Amen.
