    I said THE Son of God , not a son of God .

    If you asked God who is Jesus what would he say ?

    The answer is found in Matthew 17 v 5

    " This is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased ; hear him .

    I have yet met a man that even thinks he knows more than God . Case is closed .

    Jamie, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    We live in this world, the world is all around us, it effects us. But where ARE WE, are we part of the world, or ARE WE apart from the world.

    Do you spend all you time listening to the radio or television about this world and current events trying to figure out physical and literal prophesies or studying God's Word about who we are and what we will be doing for eternity.

    Jesus said there would be wars and rumors of wars, famine, pestilence and death going on around us while we are being drawn into the Kingdom of God.

    Most don't understand the kingdom of God because they spend all their time on the literal, see, hear, touch. This is going to DISAPPEAR.

    Revelation is as REAL as it gets, but the REAL meaning is HIDDEN. It's Spiritual it can't be seen.

    Which is more important to know, the devil was cast out of a literal heaven or that heaven represent you and the devil was cast out of you. Big difference. That the Harlot of Babylon is some word power or we are the harlot that left our FIRST LOVE and became unfaithful to our husband, Jesus. Big difference.

    That the beast and false prophet are OUT THERE SOMEWHERE waiting to be revealed or that we individually or the beast and false prophet and have to be destroyed by the TRUTH of God's word. Big difference.

    It becomes very personal to understand and BELIEVE that WE and the FATHER and SON are ONE.

    Jesus HAS ALREADY RETURNED if the above statement in true in you.

    Brother Bob, my CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    Your comment: All that Jesus received was from the Father. That makes him the Son of God.

    MORE TRUTH: Everything You receive is from the Father. That makes you a son of God.

    1 Corinthians 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what has thou that thou didst not receive? and if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hast not received it?

    TRUTH will set you free!

    MYSTERY BABYLON, THE MOTHERS OF HARLOTS

    May CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    John wrote these words 1900 hundred years ago. It could be another 2000 years or more until the second resurrection, NO ONE KNOWS. These words have to have the same meaning to all who read them; whatever time (1900 years ago or 2000 years from now) they themselves are in.

    Babylon REPRESENTS something, it is not literal.

    Judah was taken into captivity by Babylon because they LOVED the world more than they loved God.

    It is no different TODAY we LOVE the world more than we love God.

    We (creation) are a HARLOT OF BABYLON because we have left our FIRST LOVE (our husband, Christ) and dote on the things of the world.

    We to are a captive of Babylon.

    Jesus came to set the CAPTIVES free (liberty in Christ).

    Revelation 18:4 And I heard a voice in heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER, my people....

    Come back to your HUSBAND. Become ONE.

    You must DIE (first death) to the world, you must give YOUR LIFE for CHRIST as he gave HIS LIFE FOR YOU.

    Colossians 1:27 ... mystery of the ages.... CHRIST (who ONLY hath immortality) IN YOU, the hope of glory.

    Philippians 2:5 Let THIS MINE be in you, which was also IN CHRIST JESUS:

    Philippians 2:6 Who being in the form (image) of GOD, thought it not robbery to be EQUAL WITH GOD.

    Christ and the Father are ONE.

    John 17:21 That they ALL BE ONE, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be ONE IN US: that the world MAY BELIEVE that thou has sent me.

    Jesus told Judah (his chosen) that they would DIE in Babylon.

    Paul said, I DIE DAILY.

    ARE YOU ON YOUR DEATH BED?

    Sister Kimberly, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    Romans 14:8 For whether we LIVE, we LIVE unto the Lord; and whether we DIE, we DIE unto the Lord: whether we LIVE therefore, or DIE, we are the Lord's.

    John 6:20 This is the bread that cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and NOT DIE.

    John 11:26 And whosoever LIVETH and BELIEVETH in me shall never die. BELIEVEST THOU THIS?

    Luke 20:36 Neither can they DIE any more (because they DIED with Christ on the cross): for they are EQUAL to the angels; and are the children of God, being the CHILDREN OF THE RESURRECTION.

    Revelation 14:13 ....Blessed are the dead which DIE IN THE LORD from henceforth....

    1 Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy to be destroyed is DEATH.

    Christ resurrection DESTROYED DEATH. (For those that BELIEVE)

    John 8:51 Verily, Verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my sayings, he shall NEVER SEE DEATH.

    Matthew 16:28 Verily I say unto to you, There be some STANDING HERE (this was 2000 years age), which SHALL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, till they see the Son of man coming into his kingdom.

    Colossians 1:27 ...THIS MYSTERY....CHRIST IN YOU....(The First SON OF GOD)

    1 John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath LIFE; and he that hath not the Son HATH NOT LIFE.

    Do these scriptures imply that we sleep and await and appointed time; or has our APPOINTED time ARRIVED upon the death of this earthly body.

    You don't go to heaven; you BECOME a SON OF GOD. OMNIPRESENT not confined to one location or place.
  • Earl Bowman - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Sissy, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    You will get two schools of thought on what happens to us at the death of our body of flesh.

    I DON'T BELIEVE in a general rapture of the church; I BELIEVE we are gathered ONE BY ONE.

    Isaiah 27:12

    Matthew 24:40

    I BELIEVE each believer is given HIS REWARD at the death of our body of flesh.

    Our REWARD is ETERNAL LIFE and a BODY LIKE CHRIST. We become the IMAGE of Christ.

    Colossians 1:15

    Colossians 3:10

    Romans 8:29

    Every believer will receive the SAME REWARD; but different GLORIES.

    Matthew 20:1-16

    Romans 2:11

    1 Corinthians 15:41

    I BELIEVE when we leave our bodies of flesh we begin ruling and judging with Christ in the Kingdom of God.

  • Chris - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    Just continuing with this brother & enjoying the exercises of knowledge & faith that you're giving me.

    Various Scriptures (e.g. Romans 8:29, Colossians 1:15, Hebrews 12:23) speak of Christ being the "firstborn of creation & the firstborn of the Church". He was first to give birth to His creative work & by definition, entitled to be pre-eminent with highest honour & rank over all. And by virtue of His Death & Resurrection, the first to bring Deity & humanity together in one, i.e. to His Church, as He is now in the flesh as well.

    Therefore, I would rather think that it's not the "DNA of Christ" that is in all atomic matter, but His Spirit Who was in Him & now given to those who call upon His Name. As we know, our composition is spirit, soul & body and that spirit has, since the fall, been devoid of any attachment to the Spirit of God. Yet, it is to that same spirit of man that the Holy Spirit attaches when re-birth has taken place. Then what we read in Acts 17:28, given to the unsaved Athenians, finds its perfect fulfilment in Romans 8:1, 1 Corinthians 1:30, Ephesians 1:3, etc., where once we were just the "offspring of God" receiving life & breath from God, but now, through Christ the firstborn of His Church, we receive spiritual life & the ministry of the Deity in manifold ways. I can't see that His 'DNA' is in all living creation, which after all, have been created from dust, but His Spirit is given to those coming to Him via the Cross.

    I can agree though with your last paragraph concerning "the Lamb being slain from the foundation of the world". What was in God's Will to occur, will occur, & can be treated as fact even before they happen. Christ's crucifixion was real in God's Plan & became a physical reality at Calvary. Thank you Leon for sharing your thoughts.

    Revelation 3:14. We see this expression ("the beginning of the creation of God") only here. I would include Colossians 1:15-18 which speaks of Christ being "the firstborn of all creation - for by Him were all things created - through Him & for Him". Even though the Greek for 'beginning' & 'firstborn' are very different, I think the same application is implied: that Christ is the Creator (the beginning) of all creation: both of the original creation & then being the forerunner of those IN Christ (the firstborn (& by implication, the Creator) of the new creation) - also Romans 8:29; Hebrews 12:23. Blessings.

    The 70 th Week

    Part 3

    Jesus confirmed the last 3.5 years through His apostles ending when Stephen was killed, Paul was converted, Peter had his dream the conformation to Judah ended and the gospel was sent to the Gentiles. This fulfills the 70=weeks 490/483 years

    We have been told to study, we are told to test the spirits, trust our teacher the Holy Spirit and pray. These are the six things that were determined on Judah and the holy city Jerusalem, a few verses that may help see if this has been fulfilled by Jesus.

    1. To finish the transgression ( Isaiah 53:5, 8) ( Isaiah 53:11) ( Hebrews 9:15-18)

    2. To make an end of sins ( Matthew 1:21) ( Hebrews 10:8-11) ( John 1:29) ( 1 Corinthians 15:3)

    ( 1 John 3:5) ( Psalm 32) ( Romans 8:3)

    3. To make reconciliation for iniquity ( Colossians 1:20-22) ( Isaiah 53:6) ( Isaiah 53:11) ( Ephesians 2:16) ( Titus 2:14) ( 2 Corinthians 5:18-19)

    4. To bring in everlasting righteousness ( Romans 5:17-21) ( Romans 3:21-26) ( 1Peter 2:24)

    ( 2 Corinthians 5:21) ( Isaiah 61:10-11)

    5. To seal up vision and prophecy ( Daniel 9:23) ( John 6:27) ( Mark 1:14-15) ( Acts 3:18)

    ( John 5:36-40) ( Matthew 11:11-15)

    6. To anoint the most holy ( Hebrews 8:1-12) ( Hebrews 9:6-14)

    The 70 th week has been used along with other Bible verses to paint a fantastic picture of end times. The pre, mid, or post rapture of the Church, an antichrist, 7-year tribulation, 3.5-year covenant with Israel, a third temple, abomination of desolation, 3.5 years great tribulation after breaking covenant, and more. Many of these teachings started in the late 1600s. I hope this helps, if this prophecy has been fulfilled, it will show the falsehoods of these teachings because without using part of the 70 weeks prophecy given to Daniel, these teachings will fall apart.

    Acts.3:18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

    Vincent, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    In your studies of Revelation there are things revealed that can be answered by scriptures in other parts of God's word.

    Christ SAYS destroy (crucify) this TEMPLE and in three days I will raise it (temple) back up (to life). He was speaking of HIS BODY.

    Revelation 21:22 And I saw no TEMPLE therein (new Jerusalem): for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are THE TEMPLE of it.

    Colossians 1:27 .... (revealed) MYSTERY ...CHRIST IN YOU...

    This says Christ and the Father are the TEMPLE and that that TEMPLE is in you.

    1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells IN YOU.

    Revelation 15:8 And the TEMPLE (Christ) was filled with the smoke of the GLORY OF GOD, and from his power; and NO MAN was able to enter in to the TEMPLE (CHRIST IN YOU), till the seven plagues of the seven angels were FULFILLED.

    When Christ was on the cross, the seven plagues of the seven angels were POURED out on him; God wrath for all mankind was poured out ON HIM.

    WE can now ENTER the TEMPLE OF GOD (Christ in you).

    The seven seals, the seven plagues, the seven trumpets, the seven vials were FULFILLED at CHRIST DEATH AND RESURRECTION.

    Every time a person comes to the TRUTH of Christ in you (new Jerusalem) descends from God and LIVES IN YOU.

    Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first were passed away, and there was no more sea.

    Revelation 21:3 And I heard a voice out of heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle (TEMPLE) is with men (CHRIST IN YOU) is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself (CHRIST IN YOU) shall be with them, and be their God.

    Revelation 1:3 ....For the TIME IS AT HAND (now, today)

    Revelation 22:10 ....For the TIME IS AT HAND (now, today)

    God said wars and famine and pestilence and death would be happening all around us while his WORDS WERE BRING FULFILLED IN MAN.

  • OSEAS - 3 years ago
    It was around year 95AD. The angel of the Lord said to John: Revelation 1:v.20 -

    20 - The MYSTERY of the seven STARS which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden CANDLESTICKS. The seven STARS are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven CANDLESTICKS which thou sawest are the seven CHURCHES.

    Now we are in the time of Apocalypse, i.e. in the end of the times.

    Question: In the verse above - Revelation 1:v.20- the 7 CHURCHES are 7 candlesticks; and the TWO CANDLESTICKS of the current time as is written in Revelation 11:v.4?

    Ephesians 3:v.8-10

    8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

    9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the MYSTERY, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

    10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the CHURCH the manifold wisdom of God,

    Colossians 1:v.24 says:

    Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body's sake, which is the CHURCH:

    That said, which are the two CHURCHES -two CANDLESTICKS- of this current time of Apocalypse?

  • New Testament Sabbath Practices by Mishael - In Reply on Mark 2:28 - 3 years ago
    I think we as a whole, do not fully understand what the Sabbath Day is for; according to ONLY New Testament revision, implemented by the Lord Jesus Christ. He was Lord of the Old Testament (Covenant), and Jesus taught revisions in the years of his ministry on earth.

    The Pharisees only perceived Jesus was going to upset their whole way of operation. They would rather have Jesus dead, than change anything about Sabbath, tithes and offerings, helping out the poor.

    I will be hated too for it too. Jesus went in and overturned money changer tables, let loose the doves, scattered sheep. WHY? Outside the Temple it was like a New York stock exchange. Clearly Jesus does not want that in His Church.

    COLOSSIANS 1:18; 2:8-23, Details what Jesus wants from His New Testament Church.

    If we have great need of blessing and help, we give our best and Jesus will bless accordingly. The Churches operate on Tithes, alone. They were not meant to consume the offerings on their church beautification projects. All that is destined to be burned to ashes.

    I might ask: if everyone in your household was in bed on the edge of death, would you leave and attend Sabbath, because you were afraid of Not going?

    I perceive Jesus as being Very Practical, and Merciful to the problems of mankind. If our household is struck down in bed with COVID, we should be able to summon the Pastors or Elders to come and pray for the sick.

    Sabbath is not constrained to a particular day of the week. The Service Times are posted, and people attend on those days. Jesus wants them to be able to get to a service so they can be taught, take communion, give tithes and offerings, receive prayer for healing.

    That's why people are sitting home on Weekends. Our society sucks the life out of us with work, low pay, grid-locked traffic twice a day, kid problems, elderly parents that need visits.

    Church must be more flexible. It serves people. Not vice versa. Study Jesus's examples in NT

    Sister Nancy, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and His understanding.

    2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this FIRST, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

    This says you can't take one verse and come to truth, you have to combine verses from other parts of scripture to know the message.

    I suppose you are making reference to Revelation 12 where Satan was cast from heaven. Let's put other verses with this and see if truth appears.

    Matthew 12:28 But if I CAST OUT DEVILS by the Spirit of GOD, then the kingdom of God is COME UNTO YOU.

    Christ is casting out Satan so he can dwell IN YOU (THE NEW HEAVEN).

    Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven... Colossians 1:27 ...this MYSTERY, Christ in you....

    Revelation 12:7 And there was WAR IN HEAVEN (Spirit vs. flesh) (in you) Michael (Spirit) and his angels fought against the dragon (flesh); and the dragon fought and his angels.

    Revelation 12:8 And (flesh, dragon and his angels) prevailed not; neither was their (dragon and his angels) place found ANY MORE IN HEAVEN (in you where Christ dwells).

    Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was CAST OUT (if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God), that old serpent (that deceived Eve), called the devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the WHOLE WORLD; he was CAST OUT....

    Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice (truth) saying in heaven (in you), Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of HIS CHRIST....

    Luke 10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

    Luke 10:18 And he said to them, I beheld SATAN as lightning falling from heaven (those that Satan was CAST OUT OF).

    EVERYTHING from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 has HIDDEN in it TRUTH of SPIRIT.

    The Spirit of God wrote these words; therefore, the WORDS ARE SPIRIT.

    MOST only see them as thing that are natural, never growing to maturity in God's word.

    YES, definitely Genesis 1:6-8 has a hidden meaning that is SPIRIT.

    Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which though sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

    These are waters under heaven.

    Colossians 1:27 ...this mystery, CHRIST IN YOU...

    These are the waters above the heaven.

    1 Corinthians 15:38 But God hath given it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

    1 Corinthians 15:40 There are also celestial bodies (above heaven), and bodies terrestrial (below heaven, earth): but the GLORY of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

    Sister Martha, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    God predestinated before the world was, that creation (man) would be like him. God created us with this world set in our hearts (flesh).

    Ecclesiastes 3:11 ....also he has set the world in their heart...

    This was necessary so we could come to know everything in the same likeness as God knows (good and evil).

    Being naturally born in the flesh (worldly) we start as ANTI-CHRIST, false prophets not knowing the truth of God, beast of the earth with now concept of the ways of the Spirit.

    When Jesus died and was resurrected a new way of LIFE became possible; a way to OVERCOME and become LIKE GOD.

    This is the BATTLE being fought a battle between truth and deception, love and hate, mercy and no mercy, self and selflessness, faithfulness and no faithfulness. God is the ONE and flesh is the OTHER.

    THE WORD (written and living) is our means of fighting this battle and winning. None of this can be seen, we have to rely on the SPIRIT and his WORD for instructions of WAR.

    Revelation is depicting this battle. We are not faithful to our creator (husband); therefore we are the WHORE. We don't know God's word; therefore, we are the false prophet. We have no love or mercy; therefore, we are BEAST. Through TRUTH; anti Christ, the false prophet and the beast are DESTROYED and we become the LIKENESS OF CHRIST.

  • Ronald L Whittemore on Exodus 20 - 3 years ago
    For any who are looking at theories on how it ends. There is a fantastic picture that has been painted and taught since the early 1800s and is taken from Daniel 9:27 to create the last week (7 years). The entire theory and all that is taught that will happen hinges on taking the last week/7 years from this 70-week prophecy.

    This prophecy was determined on Daniel's people (house of Israel) and the holy city (Jerusalem).

    Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

    If Jesus fulfilled what was determined in this prophecy, does that make this entire theory and all that is taught in this theory untrue?

    How will it change the picture if the 70th week in the book of Daniel has been fulfilled?

    What is our blessed hope?

    We have been told to study, trust our teacher the Holy Spirit and pray.

    These are the six things that were determined, and a few verses that may help your study.

    1. To finish the transgression ( Isaiah 53:5, 8) ( Isaiah 53:11) ( Hebrews 9:15-18)

    2. To make an end of sins ( Matthew 1:21) ( Hebrews 10:8-11) ( John 1:29) ( 1 Corinthians 15:3)

    ( 1 John 3:5) ( Psalm 32) ( Romans 8:3)

    3. To make reconciliation for iniquity ( Colossians 1:20-22) ( Isaiah 53:6) ( Isaiah 53:11) ( Ephesians 2:16) ( Titus 2:14) ( 2 Corinthians 5:18-19)

    4. To bring in everlasting righteousness ( Romans 5:17-21) ( Romans 3:21-26) ( 1Peter 2:24)

    ( 2 Corinthians 5:21) ( Isaiah 61:10-11)

    What is meant by the daily sacrifice in the book of Daniel 11? What will be taken away in the figtree generation? Do you think the peace treaty signed last Sept 2020 is significant biblically? thank you

    Phil, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    CHRIST'S rule upon earth is not done from the natural Jerusalem existing in Israel east of the Mediterranean Sea; it is done through NEW JERUSALEM described in Revelation 21.

    Revelation 21:22 And I saw NO TEMPLE therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the LAMB are THE TEMPLE OF IT.

    Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was offered ONCE to BEAR THE SINS of many; and unto them that (the SPIRIT causes) to look for him shall he APPEAR THE SECOND TIME (second coming) WITHOUT SIN UNTO SALVATION.

    NEW JERUSALEM is ruling NOW. You can live in NEW JERUSALEM NOW.

    Revelation 21:1 And I saw a NEW HEAVEN and NEW EARTH (born of the SPIRIT): for the First heaven and the first earth were passed away (died on the cross with CHRIST);and there was no more sea (that the beast came out of). Revelation 13:1

    Revelation 21:2 And I John saw (in vision) the holy city, New Jerusalem, COMING DOWN FROM GOD (SPIRIT) out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

    John 3:13 No man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is IN HEAVEN (CHRIST IN YOU Colossians 1:27)

    1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and the SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLETH IN YOU.

    Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice (Holy Spirit) out of heaven saying, Behold, THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN, and HE SHALL DWELL WITH THEM, and they shall be his people, and GOD HIMSELF (SPIRIT) shall be with them (and in them), an be their God.

    WE SUFFER in THIS FLESH; until this flesh dies, and we are given the BODY OF CHRIST.

    1 Corinthians 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have PUT ON incorruption, and this mortal MUST PUT ON immortality.

    1 Timothy 6:16 ....Who ONLY hath immortality.....

    Luke 1:69 ..raised up a HORN of salvation...

    Revelation 17:16-17 and the ten HORNS (saved) ... shall hate the whore, and shall make her DESOLATE and NAKED, and shall eat her flesh, and BURN HER WITH FIRE.

    Lee, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    John did not go to heaven. He saw a VISION. Heavens doors were opened. The TRADITIONS OF MAN has done great harm to the truth of the scriptures.

    John 3:13 NO man has ASCENDED up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.

    Colossians 1:27 .....MYSTERY among the Gentiles; which is CHRIST IN YOU....

    John 3:13 ....says even the Son of man WHICH IS IN HEAVEN; Colossians 1:27 says CHRIST IN YOU. Traditions of man says heaven is a PLACE; scripture says HEAVEN IS A PERSON.

    You are where GOD DWELLS; you are HEAVEN where GOD'S temple and throne is, you are the DOORS and/or GATES to heaven. The 24 (not necessarily literally 24;but, representing) those that have gone before you in truth; now at Christ's feet. This is how GOD DWELLS ON EARTH; IN YOU, EACH ONE OF US. Christ is our HIGH PRIEST; we are a kingdom of priest; a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD.

    1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a CHOSEN GENERATION, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people...

    WORSHIP AND GIVE THANKS TO HIM.

    The scriptures will make more sense to you when you start seeing heaven as people. MOST don't know Christ dwells in them (they think they are going to a place), that's why there is so much confusion and sin in this world. If you haven't come to the truth that CHRIST IS IN YOU then Satan still has his dwelling place in you.

    Matthew 12:28 If I cast out devils by the SPIRIT OF GOD, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

    It's more than just believe and go to a PLACE CALLED HEAVEN.
