Some of us will learn of it in a special place.
A place outside the doors of a church building, outside the confines of those who have the perceived knowledge.
This grace that can only come from above!
A grace so profound, with no bounds ,no rules, with only undeserved love!
If you know Him, this person will teach you all things. He will bring all things to remembrance. He shall show you everything in the moment of time!
This one that cannot be seen, is here and everywhere at one time!
This is the spirit that moved upon the face of the deep!
It is the one that came upon them , as they waited for the promise of His coming!
This is the one that speaks even now through the sinners voice!
Can you hear Him?
If so you are receiving undeserved GRACE!

Parable of the Sower Luke 8:5
"The sower went out to sow his seed: and in his sowing, some fell beside the wayside; and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 And other fell upon the rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, on account its not having moisture.
7 And other fell in the midst of the thorns; and the thorns sprang up together, and
stifled it.
8 And others fell upon good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold." And when He had said these things, He cried, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
9 And His disciples asked Him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 And He said, "Unto you it has been given to get to know the secrets of the kingdom of God: but to the rest within parables; in order that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
11 Now the parable means this: The seed represents the word of God.
12 Those beside the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and snatches away the word out of their hearts, in order that they should not believe and be saved.
13 They upon the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word of God in
association with joy; and these have no root, which for a season believe, and within time of trial fall away
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, as they go on their way, and are stifled by cares and riches and pleasures of the life that is lived, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that in the good ground are they, which within an honest and good heart, having heard the word of God, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit in patient endurance.
16 No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a couch; but setteth it upon a lampstand, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 For not anything is hidden, that shall not become manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not become known and come to light.
18 Take heed therefore

18 Take heed therefore how ye hear:
Scripturally I'd say no in James ,1:12-17 Context God can't be tempted
Neither tempt He any man, then he further states verse17 every good and perfect
Gift comes from God which makes sense because God is the giver of
Iife and author of order and perfection.
His opposite our adversary also known as the tempter is the one who puts
Tribulation which is mental pressure to trip up God's people and manipulate
Man. Now there are places where the word tempt is used but the correct word
Is prove or test which is not tempting. We prove God's Word by believing and
Doing whats written and obeying believing He will supply the need. The children
Of Israel kept going against God in the wilderness of sin which is why it took 40
Years to clean out an unbelieving generation. Good conversation piece.
Many of the books in the New Testament distinctly separate God and the Lord Jesus in their greetings. I have often wondered why.
Additionally, I have wondered why, if these 2 are separated, is the Holy Spirit left out of these greetings?
Unlike any other word, the Holy Spirit moves and thrusts through the evil that is constantly lurking, that is always deceiving and manipulating the minds of the Nations. An evil spirit, that wants to eliminate the salvation found through the saving faith found in the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ!
The sword of the Spirit , that cuts through and leaves Satan in a unpredictable place, while He contemplates His next move.
These battle's are real, as the word goes out, through the mouths of his children, it does not return void. Opening another fissure that the water of life may flow freely from the stony hearts of man!
How powerful, how unexplainable are His ways past finding out!
The Holy Spirit this one hates. He cannot win against it, He must stop it somehow ,someway!
If you are in the Spirit, you are in this battle!
You will hear again the words " For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it."
Even so Isaiah says, "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Are you dismayed by the things you see and Hear? Or, are you trusting in the words of Christ, who's death and resurrection has set you free! Set you free to finding yourself in His Spirit, the Holy Spirit!

14 And unto the angel of the church in Laodicea write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Chief Ruler of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spue thee out of My mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, "I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing;" and knowest not that thou
art the wretched one, and miserable, and poor(in spirit), and blind,and naked:
Job 6:6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
When walking through the gates, into the city, describing the needle that the camels go through , we see Him while He is walking and talking to His disciples. As if He see's us who will soon be reading His words! The majesty of His eternal presence found in His words of God. If we seek out the truths that are in it, it becomes a well of water, springing up into eternal life, it just keeps flowing.
With the evidence of who God is, it can be difficult if we depend on ourselves expecting God too do what we expect and want. "With man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible!"
Our flesh constantly looking for or asking another question, that is outside His spirit that must dwell in us. This indwelling miracle, must come from Him, this is the grace found in Him!
Can you see Him walking and talking too you as He turns the next corner?
Remember all things are possible with God! Trust in Him always, waiting and watching!

Jesus, by Faith alone, always kept the closest loving relationship, full submission and self denial towards The Father.
Prior to Jesus's birth, Gabriel anounced to Mary that her son would be saint, meaning blamelessly without sin. Jesus is God's Lamb, without default or blame. Jesus never compromised with satan's mind and principles, even under the most extreme suffering, and instead said: Father forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing. Jesus, as second Adam, was The Begotten Son Of God, and recieved beauty and harmony of body and mind, similar to Adam, without a sinful nature. Jesus vanquished satan's temptations as a man of sorrows just by faith in God. The Messiah, during his entire mission, was dayly assisted by two angels, present at Joseph's tomb on ressurection Day. Jesus didn't experienced a putrid state or body corruption. Jesus died right before sunset at the nith hour, was asleep resting in the tomb during Sabath and ressurrected on the third day right after Sabath. Mary od Magdala was present at the tomb site, very early sunday morning while was stil dark, and Jesus manifested himself to her, after having been assisted by two angels and packed his mortal sheets. Jesus ressurected with a glorious body like we also wil have when He wil come on His second coming in Glory. Jesus said he wasn't a spirit, asked for food and eated it, after ressurection. Jesus said Mary don't delay me for I haven't ascended to my Father. Jesus took care on clarifying the inconscient state of the dead, comparing death as being asleep. Jesus died as Lazarus whom jesus declared being dead. Satan's lie until today is that we don't die.
If we don't die, then why did Jesus came to deliever us from sins condemnation or second death? Jesus declared Lazarus dead, and called him to raise up from death! Amen!
We sink perhaps into what is the most horrible part of the Tribulation here as the most people numerically likely die (1/3 listed in verse 18); and although there is complete destruction at Armageddon; and thereabouts with the scope of the earthquake and such along with the horror of ALL sea life dying; it will be relatively brief and Christ comes at last immediately after! It would seem that according to Revelation 11 the second woe (or sixth seal) is passed when the two Prophets are killed and then translated. This would protect them from the judgments here.
The fifth trumpet involves an angel who some argue couldn't be Satan who fights with Michael and is cast out near this time because he couldn't be trusted with such a key. Nonetheless; there isn't any clear indication who if anyone forcefully puts these demons back in the abyss after the 5 month period given to them. Whatever the case; these clearly are demons. After 5 months of suffering; people will be well prepared to worship the Beast; especially if he claims and perhaps has authority to END this suffering; as well as apparently be resurrected from the dead.
The sixth trumpet; of course involves angels as well (v. 14-15); some would say it symbolizes something else such as modern weaponry; but since God Himself brings it to pass we should take it at face value. One THIRD of all people die; but note verse 20-21 the rest who survived STILL didn't repent of their sins. Man at this point will have gone from hiding from Christ to more and more sin; and by the vials will be fighting against Christ at His return.
In all this; God's ways are mysterious. Why does he drag this out so long; and not just destroy these rebels before this point? And why do men go on KNOWING THE END RESULT since they are ALREADY aware by the sixth seal of God and Christ at the judgment seat?
No wonder Daniel got sick for 3 weeks considering these things. LORD give us strength also.
The most asked question, Why are we living in this world?
Matthew 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost
12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish
This way of thinking, though provocative, will open the eyes of the believer ever wider to the words of God.
A fact given in the holy scriptures.
God, is who God says He is, who without beginning , without end, is Timeless!
I Am Alpha and Omega! Without beginning ,without end!
This scientist, has given you his understanding of time, how it works, while looking in a mirror!
The heavenly many may not grasp. The evolutionist, who judges according to what He see's!
The perfect knowledge of who we are and where we are going, learning and Having a perfect knowledge of time and space is what man has forever contemplated!
However, the man who is led by the spirit , will see if only a glimpse of the power of His glory. The power to sustain and protect those who belong to Him!
This is the hidden wisdom in the word. Every word in scripture is from God Himself! While man thinks himself wise to change it, it is in fact the road less traveled, that leads only to darkness!
Soon, those who think themselves wise will become fools! The patience of God as He waits for repentance!
Do you hear the words of Jesus?
They have eyes, but cannot see! They have ears, but they cannot hear!
The grace found is no longer a mystery unto those who know the truth! A truth that will set you free. now and in eternity!

In
Acts 10:39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Amen.
And it does not surprise me that Peter here speaks well of Jesus Christ. For all who heard received the Holy Spirit. Is it not so?
Stay strong in the word and never stop talking of Him He loves us all and i love in u all in Christ.
Be a vitness all the dayes.
