       MERCY   Blessed Are The Merciful, For They Shall Obtain Mercy         Matt.5:7

                                  For I Desired Mercy, Not sacrifice; And

                         The Knowledge Of God more than burnt offerings.       Hosea 6:6

 

                   They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

   But You: Go And Learn what that Means: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice.

    For I AM not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance. Matt. 9:12b 13

 

  But if you had known what this means, I will have mercy and not sacrifice*

                                    you would not have condemned the guiltless.         Matt.12:7

 

            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.   Ephesians 6:12

 

               But be you not called Rabbi. For ONE IS Your Master, The Christ.
                                              And ALL you, Are Brethren.                             Matt.23:8 

 

And it came to pass, when the time was come that HE should be received up, Jesus

steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,9:52 and sent messengers before His face.

And they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for Him.

9:53 And they did not receive Him, because His face was as though He would go to

Jerusalem.9:54 And when His disciples, James and John saw this, they said: Lord, will

Thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, even as

Elijah did? 9:55 But He turned and corrected*them; And Said: *You know not what

Manner Of Spirit you Are Of. 9:56 For The Son Of Man* Is Not Come To Destroy

Men's Lives, but to save them.*And they went to another village. Luke 9:51-56** 

 

     therefore: You Be merciful, as your Father also, is mercifulLuke 6:36

 

6:1 Come, And Let us return To THE LORD. For HE Has Torn, And HE Will Heal us.

HE Has struck,* And HE Will Bind us Up.6:2 After Two Days HE Will Revive us. In The

Third Day, HE Will Raise us Up, And we Shall Live In HIS Sight.6:3 Then, we shall

know, if we  follow on to Know THE LORD;  HIS Going Forth Is Prepared As

The Morning. And HE shall come to us As The Rain, As The Latter And Former

Rain, To The Earth.6:4 O Ephraim, What Shall I Do To You? O Judah, What Shall I Do

To You? For your Goodness Is As A Morning Cloud, And As The Early Dew, It Goes

Away. Therefore I Have Cut them By The Prophets.  I have slain them by the

words of MY Mouth. And Thy Judgments Are As The Light That Goes Forth. 6:6

For I Desired Mercy, And Not Sacrifice; And The Knowledge Of God; More

Than Burnt Offerings. 6:7 But Like men, they Have  Transgressed The PRomise.*

                       There; They Have Dealt Treacherously Against ME.             Hosea 6:1-7

 

    Hosea tells us to Return To GOD; Who IS The Cause of All That IS. GOD’S Going

        Forth To Earth Is Prepared. HE Will Water Those That Come To KNOW HIM

       When HE Comes To Earth, And HE Will Make People Grow As Does The Rain.

  Hosea tells us Those That Come To KNOW HIM; Will KNOW That HE Will Raise Them 

  In The Third Day…After HIS OWN RESURRECTION Is Accomplished. Hosea tells us

 GOD IS Displeased With The Israelites, who Broke their Promise To Be HIS PEOPLE.

  They No Longer Show The Knowledge Of God. They No Longer Show MERCY.

                            When will we know that we are to do As Jesus did?
                We are to bring The Knowledge OF GOD To All Men, as Jesus did.

   If we will Return To The Lord, we will Follow Him, And Come To Know Who HE IS

 And What HE IS Telling us. HE WILL DO; IN, us And Through us, WHATEVER IT IS,

That HE Wants To Be Done; IF we are Willing To Let HIM Use us For HIS PURPOSE.

           HE tells us we Are To Return To HIM; To Know HIM ; And That we Are

    To Show Mercy To Others. We Are Not To Take Any Matter Into our own hands.

9:8   That is, they, which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of
                  GOD. But the children of The Promise are counted for the seed.

9:9  For this is The Word Of Promise, at this time will I come, and Sarah shall have

   a son.9:10 And not only this; but when  Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by

 our father Isaac; 9:11 for the children being not yet born, neither having done any

       good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to election might

                               stand, not of works, but of HIM that calls;

9:12                        it was said to her: the elder shall serve the younger.

9:13           As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.

9:14                        What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with GOD?

                                          GOD forbid.   9:15 For HE Says To Moses:

                        I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and,

                 I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.*

                                                                                      *Romans 9:15 See also: Exodus 33:19*

 

9:16           So then, it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs,

                                            but Of GOD, that shows Mercy.       Romans 9:8-16

 

                  When Will we KNOW That our salvation depends on GOD’S MERCY?

 When Will we KNOW That To Receive GOD’S MERCY, We Must Be Merciful To Others

         Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy  Matt.5:7

 

                 When Will we KNOW It Is GOD Who Causes All Things To Happen

                                 And That we Are Completely AT HIS MERCY?

9:17           For the scripture says to Pharaoh: Even for this same purpose

                       I have raised you up, that I Might Show MY Power In you,

                    and that MY NAME might be declared throughout all the earth.

9:18             Therefore: HE has Mercy, on whom HE Will have Mercy,

                               and whom HE Will, HE hardens.                    Romans 9:17-18

 

            When Will We Be MERCIFUL TO OTHERS AS GOD DESIRES Us TO BE?

                               For I desired mercy and not sacrifice;
       and the knowledge of God,
more than burnt offerings.   Hosea 6:6

 

    You shall not hate your brother in your heart. Thou Shall in any wise rebuke*

         your neighbor, and not allow sin upon him.19:18 You shall not avenge,

                         nor bear any grudge against the children of your people,

     But You shall love your neighbor as your self. I Am The LORD       Lev.19:17-18 

 

                IF anyone thinks or says all of this does not apply to all men; Then: 

  3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds;

3:10 and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge, after the  

      image Of HIM that created him.3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew,

         circumcision nor un-circumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free.

                                              But Christ is all, and in all.      Colossians 3:9-11

 

                                                       You ALL, Are Brethren                Matt.23:8b 

 

                                                                                   (2)     rebuke*=correct    

          

        When Will we KNOW to do our own job, and to allow GOD to SAVE or DAMN?

    16:15 And He Said to them: go you into all the world, and preach the

   gospel to every creature. 16:16 he that believes, and is baptized shall

             be saved. but he that believes not, shall be damned.   Mark 16:15-18

 

     When will we KNOW we Are To Preach JESUS; THE GOOD NEWS* Of Salvation
          To EVERY CREATURE, ALL MEN, And we Are To let GOD decide the rest?

6:35 But love your your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing

     again. And your reward shall be great. And You shall be the children of

        the Highest. For he is kind to the unthankful, and to the evil.

6:36        therefore, You Be merciful, as your Father also, is merciful.

6:37 Judge not, and You shall not be judged. Condemn not, and You shall

          not be condemned. Forgive, and You shall be forgiven.   Luke 6:35-37

 

 When Will we KNOW:  If we condemn, we will be condemned. When Will we KNOW:
  If we judge, we will be judged.  When Will we KNOW: If we do not show mercy,

                     we will not  be children of THE HIGHEST, For HE IS MERCIFUL
               When Will we KNOW  we are not to take things into our own hands?

           7:1 Judge not that you be not judged.7:2 For with what judgment you judge,

                                  you shall be judged. And with what measure you use,*

                                               it shall be measured to you again.                Matt.7:1-2

 

When Will we KNOW Only GOD Has The Right to say who should live, and who should

 die?  When Will we KNOW Jesus is telling us HE IS THE JUDGE and we should honor

                                                   HIS PLACE AS THE JUDGE?

5:21 For as The Father Raises Up The Dead, And Gives Them Life;  Even So, The Son

     Gives Life TO Whom he will.5:22 For the Father judges no man; but has

   committed all judgment to the Son; 5:23 that all men should honor The Son,

even as they honor The Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the

 Father which has sent him.5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you: he that hears my

 word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall

not come into judgment;* but is passed from death, to life.5:25 Truly,

truly, I say to you: The hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the

voice of the Son of God. And they that hear, shall live 5:26 For as The

Father has Life IN Himself; so has HE given to The Son to have Life IN Himself; 5:27

and also has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the

Son of man.*5:28 Marvel not at this. For the hour is coming, in which all that are in

the graves shall hear HIS Voice,5:29 and shall come forth. They that have done

                good, to The Resurrection Of Life. And they that have done evil,

                                            to the resurrection of judgment.*                  John 5:21-29

 

                ONLY JESUS HAS THE AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE ALL JUDGMENT

         When Will we KNOW It Is GOD’S CHOICE to harden or to show Mercy to?

          We are told only to show mercy, and to preach The Gospel Of Salvation
       through Jesus, to every creature, and to let GOD DECIDE everything else

      go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16:16     he that believes, and is baptized shall be saved. but he that

                                          believes not, shall be damned.               Mark 16:15-16

   When will we Learn TO BE MERCIFUL to the wicked who will not turn from his ways

     unless we do our job and Preach JESUS; The Gospel Of Salvation; to the wicked?

  Say to them, As I Live, says The Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the

  death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way, and

    liveTurn you, turn you from your evil ways. For why will you die,
    O house of Israel?
  Ezekiel 33:11
 When will we Learn TO BE MERCIFUL.

 When will we Learn this Verse?32:35 To Me belongs vengeance, and

  repayment32:39 See now that I, even I, Am He, and there is no

         god with Me. I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal.

 Neither is there any that can deliver out Of MY Hand.32:40 For I Lift Up MY Hand To

                                       Heaven And Say: I Live Forever.  Deuteronomy 32:35 & 39-40

 

           When will we Learn TO BE MERCIFUL. When will we Learn this Verse?

12:19 Dearly Beloved, Avenge yourselves NOT, But Rather, Give Place to Wrath.*

                For it is written, vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.

12:20       Therefore: if your enemy hunger, feed him. If he thirst, give him drink.

                        For in doing so; you shall heap coals of fire on his head. 12:21

     Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil, with good. Romans12:19-21

 

           When will we Learn TO BE MERCIFUL. When will we Learn this verse?

9:22      What if GOD, willing to show HIS wrath, and to make HIS Power known,

        endured, with much longsuffering,  the vessels of wrath, fitted to destruction

9:23    and that HE might make known the riches of HIS Glory, on the vessels of

     Mercy, which HE had afore prepared, Unto Glory. 9:24  Even us, whom

       HE Has Called. Not of the Jews Only, But Also Of The GentilesRomans 9:8-24

 

When will we Learn TO BE MERCIFUL. When will we Learn this verse?18:10 Two men

went up into the temple to pray. The one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.*

18:11 The Pharisee stood, and prayed thus with himself: GOD, I thank Thee, that I am

not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican*18:12

  I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.18:13 And the publican,

  standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but beat*on his

 breast, saying: God, be merciful to me a sinner.18:14 I tell you, this man went

 down to his house justified rather than the other. For every one that exalts himself

  shall be made low.* And he that humbles himself, shall be exalted.* Luke 18:10-14

 

 JESUS Tells us how we can know HIM And The Scriptures:… how much more shall

  your Heavenly Father, Give The Holy Spirit, to them that ask Him?   Luke 11:13b

 

3:1 If you  be risen with Christ, then seek those things which are above,

       where Christ sits on the right hand of God. 3:2 Set your affection

   on things above, not on things on the earth.3:3 For you are dead, and

                                your life is hid with Christ, in God.         Colossians 3:1-3

 

    Paul was led to tell us If The Holy Spirit Of GOD is Alive In us, Then we are to seek

The Things Of god. If we have given place To jesus, To Live IN us, For his Glory

        IN god;  Then it is no longer us that lives. JESUS Tells us what this means:

8:34b Who so ever will come after ME, let him deny himself, and Take Up his cross,

                     And follow me. 8:35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it.

          But who so ever shall lose his life for my sake, and the gospel's,

                                             the same; shall save it.                    Mark 8:34b-35

 

Give place unto wrath*=don’t be angry; beat*= smote;  made low*=abased; raised up*=exalted

publican*=tax collector                                            (4)

 

    And HE Said To ALL: If ANY man Will Come After ME, Let him deny himself, And

  Take Up his Cross daily, And Follow ME. 9:24 For Whosoever Will Save his Life,

      Shall Lose It. But Whosoever Will Lose his Life, FOR my sake, he*Shall Save It.

                                                                                                                         Luke 9:23-24


                           
I protest*by your rejoicing, which I have In Christ Jesus,
                                                         our Lord. I Die DAILY           1st Corinthians 15:31

 

Paul knew what Jesus tells us. Paul is led to tell us he became more IN JESUS, daily

    In Preaching, and In Sharing JESUS and HIS Gospel Of Salvation  To ALL men;

DAILY.9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak. I am made all

  things to all men, that I might, by all means, save some. 9:23 And I do this for The

   Gospel's Sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.   1stCorinthians 9:22-23

 

15:17 These things I command you, that You love one another.15:18 If the world

hate you, You know that it hated Me before it hated you.15:19 If you were of

the world, the world would love his own. But because you are not of the world, but

I have chosen you out of the world, therefore, the world hates you.15:20 Remember

The Word that I said to you. The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have

    persecuteed Me, they will also persecute you. if they have kept my

saying, they will also keep yours.15:21 But all these things they will

do to you, for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

                                                                                                                        John15:17-21

 

 Jesus died and rose again for The Salvation of ALL MEN. For The Sake Of JESUS And

 HIS GOSPEL, we must Preach THE RISEN LORD JESUS To ALL MEN, and show MERCY

To ALL MEN. When will we Learn TO BE MERCIFUL And To LET GOD JESUS Take Care

 Of Anger And Vengeance? This is what Jesus Tells us to do over and over. We are to

pray for; and do good to ALL Men. This is what Jesus did. This is not the world’s way. 

 BUT IT IS GOD’S WAY:  The LORD does not delay HIS Promise, as some men count

 delay. But  HE IS patient*Toward us, not willing that ANY should perish,

                             but that ALL should come to repentance.      2nd.Peter 3:9 

 

                          The Time Is Fulfilled, And The Kingdom Of God Is Here.*

                                            Repent you, And Believe The Gospel.*            Mark 1:15


3:3 How, that by Revelation, HE Made Known To me the mystery; as I wrote before

       in few words, 3:4 whereby, when you read, you may understand my Knowledge

    In THE mystery of Christ. 3:5 which, in other ages, was not made known to the

          sons of men, as  it is NOW REVEALED  to HIS holy apostles and prophets,

by THE SPIRIT;  3:6  That The Gentiles should be FELLOW HEIRS And OF THE SAME

 BODY And Partakers Of HIS PROMISE IN CHRIST, By THE GOSPEL 3:7 Whereof,

I was made a minister, according to The Gift Of The Grace Of God, given to me by the

effectual working of HIS Power. 3:8  To me, who am less than the least of all saints,

This Grace is given, that I should preach among the Gentiles, the un-searchable

 RICHES OF CHRIST; 3:9 and to make ALL MEN see, What Is the fellowship of

the mystery, which from the beginning of the world, has been hid in God, WHO

                                         created all things, BY Jesus Christ            Ephesians 3:3-9

 

     the fellowship of the mystery =   ALL You, ARE Brethren Matt.23:8b

 And THE LORD Make You To INCREASE, And Abound In LOVE, one toward

another, and Toward ALL MEN, Even As we Do, Toward you.       1st.Thess.3:12

 

 protest*=brag; boast;    patient*= longsuffering           Toward us= to us-ward    Is Here*=at hand

                                          The Gentiles = not believers, men of different nations; non Israelites

                                                                                   (5)   

 

     IF we do not Point ALL MEN TO JESUS, IF we do not show LOVE And MERCY TO
                  ALL MEN,
we are not doing what JESUS COMMANDED us to do.

Jesus died and rose again to be GRACIOUS TO ALL MEN. If we do not show HIS LOVE

      And MERCY TO ALL MEN, we are saying JESUS DIED FOR NOTHING…In Vain…

 I do not frustrate the grace of God. For if righteousness come by the

                                     law, then Christ is dead in vain.           Galatians 2:21

 

    If someone thinks they know how to Judge, and does not allow Jesus to Judge:

     9:27 And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment.9:28 
   So, Christ Was Offered Once, to bear the sins of many. and to them that look

    for him, he shall appear, the second time, without sin, Unto Salvation.

                                                                                     Hebrews 9:27-28

 

      Only JESUS IS WITHOUT SIN. ONLY JESUS CAN JUDGE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT 

 we are told through James what will happen to those who do not show

mercy:  For he that has showed no  mercyshall have judgment without

                mercy, And mercy is better than*judgment.                 James 2:13

 

    therefore: You Be merciful, as your Father, also, is merciful. Luke 6:36

 

                                              And why You call Me Lord, Lord,

                                         and not do the things which I say?             Luke 6:46

 

         GOD APPOINTED JESUS TO BE THE JUDGE. NOT YOU, NOR ANYONE ELSE:

                      For the Father judges no man, but has committed all

                                                      judgment to the Son                                   John 5:22

 

   Paul was led to tell us only if The Holy Spirit Of GOD is Alive In us,

           only then …we will understand the ways of the lord godJESUS:

                     For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of
                                              man which is in him?
 Even so,
                 the things OF GOD knows no man, but The Spirit Of God.  1stCor. 2:11

 

                                             Jesus tells us what this means:

              There is a way that seems right to a man, but The End Thereof

                                                   Are The  ways of death.                       Proverbs16:25

 

      I am the way,the Truth,And The Life. No one Comes To The Father, But By ME.

                                                                                                                              John 14:6

 

             GOD IS A SPIRIT   John 4:24a       I AND THE FATHER ARE ONEJohn 10:30 

                                           

       But the Counselor,* which IS the Holy SPIRIT, 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 to you.       John 14:26

 

  But When The Counselor*Is Come, Whom I Will Send to you From The Father, The

Spirit Of Truth, Which Proceeds From The Father, HE Shall testify of me.John15:26

 

        When we Have HIS HOLY SPIRIT LIVING IN us, we WILL Testify Of JESUS 

     Howbeit, When HE, The Spirit Of Truth*Is Come, He will guide you into All   

       Truth  For HE shall not speak of Himself. But whatsoever HE shall hear, That

            Shall HE Speak. And HE Will Announce to you; things to come        John 16:13

 

   When we Have HIS HOLY SPIRIT LIVING IN us, He will guide us into All Truth

     If you Want The HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD JESUS; JESUS SAYS FOR You TO ASK HIM:
         … how much more shall your Heavenly Father, Give The Holy Spirit,
                                                     to them that ask Him?                            Luke 11:13b
 

 

        rejoices against*=triumphs over;  Mercy triumphs over judgment, Mercy is better than judgment

    For I desired mercy and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of
                               God, more than burnt offerings.        
Hosea 6:6

 

But You; go and learn what that means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice.

       For I Am not come to call the righteous, but Sinners To Repentance.    Matt.9:13

 

55:7    Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his

   thoughts;  and let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy

   upon him. and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 55:8 For my

thoughts are not your thoughts. neither are your ways my ways, says

  the LORD. 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my

   ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

                                                                                                                         Isaiah 55:7-9

 

3:10  Wherefore I was grieved with that generation and said: They do always err in

 their heart; and they have not known my ways.3:11  So I swore in MY Wrath,

                                          they shall not enter into MY rest.    (see Ps.95:7-11)

    3:12Take heed brethren, lest there be in any of you, an evil heart of unbelief,

                                       In departing from the living God.      Hebrews 3:10-12

 

                     God’s Ways are found In Jesus. God’s Rest Is found In Jesus.
If we are not doing what Jesus did, The Way that Jesus did, we will not enter into
God’s rest.  Again we are told IF we are GOD’S People; we will CEASE from OUR OWN

WORKS, and we are warned GOD WILL REALLY KNOW if we really have or not: 

 4:9 There remains therefore, a rest, to the people of God.4:10 For he that is

 entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his  own  works, as God did,

 from HIS. 4:11 Let us labor, therefore, to enter into that rest, lest any man fall,

after the same example of unbelief.4:12 For the word of God is living and

 powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to

the cutting apart* of soul and  spirit, and of the joints, and marrow,

and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart Heb. 4:9-12  

 

                      Jesus tells us what to do, and IF WE DO, we shall Find REST:

11:28 Come TO ME, All you That Labor, And Are Heavy Laden,*and I will give you

    rest. 11:29 Take MY Yoke Upon You, And learn fRoM me. for I Am meek and

               lowly in heart And You shall find rest unto Your souls.

                      11:30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden Is light.  Matt.11:28-30 

 

                       Us ENTERING IN TO JESUS, AND JESUS ENTERING INTO US

                                              IS Entering INTO GOD’S REST

                      Jesus Is Telling us to learn of Him, and He will give us Rest.

Jesus Tells us How god Works:14:10 Believe You Not, That I AM IN The Father,

    And The Father IN ME? The Words That I Speak To You, I Speak Not Of Myself.

             But The Father That IS LIVING IN ME, HE doeS The Works       John 14:10

 

If we are not allowing THE HOLY SPIRIT GOD TO WORK IN US AND THROUGH US As

JESUS DID: Take heed brethren, lest there be in any of you, an evil heart of unbelief,

                                      in departing from the living God.               Hebrews 3:12 

   

                       Jesus tells us what He came to do and what we are to do:

                        But go ye and learn what that means, I will have mercy,

                   and Not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the righteous,

                                        but Sinners To Repentance.                    Matt.9:13

 

           dividing asunder*=cutting apart      (7)  Laden*=loaded down; Is Living*=Dwelleth

And why You call Me, Lord, Lord, and not do the things which I sayLuke 6:46

 

      We Are To Work WITH JESUS, Not Alone; To Call Sinners To Repentance:

           he that is not with me is against me. And he that Gathers not with me,

                                                             Scatters abroad.                  Matt.12:30; Luke 11:23

 

   Jesus tells us of the joy in heaven when even one sinner is brought to repentance:

15:4b What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, does not

leave the ninety nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost until he find

it?15:5  And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 15:6 And

when he comes home, he calls his friends and neighbors together, saying to them:

                         rejoice with me. For I have found my sheep which was lost.

15:7 I Say To you, that likewise, more joy shall be in heaven over one sinner

                          that repents, than over ninety nine just persons,

                                               which need no repentance               Luke 15:4b-7*

                                    *see also: Luke 15:8-32;   Psalm 40:6-8, and Hosea 6:6

 

             We are told through James and Peter what a blessing it is to do things

                              The Way that Jesus tells us, With LOVE And MERCY:

    therefore: You Be merciful, as your Father also, is mercifulLuke 6:36

 

               These Things I command You, That You love one another.     John15:17

 

       But be you not called Rabbi. For one is your Master, even Christ;

                                             and You ALL, Are Brethren.                          Matt.23:8

 

5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;

5:20 let him know, that he which converts the sinner from the error of  

                    his way, shall save a soul from death, and shall hide

                                                   a  multitude of sins.                  James 5:19-20

 

      And above all things, have fervent* love among yourselves.

                            For love  shall cover the multitude of sins.  1st Peter 4:8

 

          12:31 Now is the judgment of this world.  Now shall the prince

     of this world be cast out.12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,

                                                   I  will draw all, unto me.             John 12:31-32

 

    therefore, you Be merciful, as your Father also, is mercifulLuke 6:36

 

    GOD Makes HIS MERCY Available To us By The Death And Resurrection Of JESUS:

10:5  Wherefore, When HE Comes Into The World, HE Says: Sacrifice And  Offering

THOU would not. but a body has thou prepared me.10:6 In burnt offerings

and sacrifices for sin, thou has had no pleasure 10:7  Then I saidLo,

I Come. In The Volume Of the book, It Is Written Of ME,to do thy will, O God.

10:8  Above when He said, sacrifice and offering, and burnt offerings, and offering for

 sin, thou would not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

10:9 Then he said: Lo: I come to do thy will O God. He takes away the first, that

he may establish the second. 10:10 By Which Will, we are sanctified, through

the  offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once, for all Hebrews 10:5-10

 

   GOD JESUS Paid The Price For MERCY With HIS Human Life. HE HAS THE RIGHT

  TO SAY:  But you: go and learn what that means, I will have mercy,

                   and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the righteous,

                                        but Sinners To Repentance.                         Matt.9:13

 

  ARE We DOING WHAT JESUS SAYS? ARE We Showing MERCY TO ALL, AS HE DID?

And why You call Me, Lord, Lord, and not do the things which I sayLuke 6:46

 

                                                                                   (8)       fervent*=Strong; powerful 

 

               Paul Is Led To Tell us That Only From THE GIFT OF GOD, WHICH IS
                  THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, CAN we KNOW THE THINGS OF GOD:

2:6  How be it we speak wisdom among them that are perfect; yet not the wisdom of

 this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nothing.*2:7 But we speak

The wisdom of God, in a Mystery, even The Hidden Wisdom, Which GOD Ordained,

 before the world, to our glory.2:8  Which none of the princes of this world knew.

       For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

2:9   But, as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered

            into the heart of man, The Things Which GOD Has Prepared for them

      that love him 2:10 But God has revealed them to us, by his Spirit.

       For the Spirit searches all things. yea, the deep things of God.

2:11 For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?

         Even So, the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God.

                 2:12 Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but

  the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are

                                              freely given to us of God.

2:13 Which things we also speak. Not in the words which man's wisdom teaches,

 but which the Holy Ghost teaches Comparing Spiritual Things, With Spiritual.

2:14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God.

 for they are foolishness to him. Neither can he know them, because

                                      they are spiritually discerned.   1st Corinthians 2:6-14

 

 Jesus tells us GOD IS A SPIRIT, and we will have The HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD ALIVE

   IN us. THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL TEACH us AND GUIDE us IF we ASK GOD FOR HIM:

4:23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall

 worship the Father in spirit, and in truth. For the Father seeks such,

to worship him. 4:24 God is a SpiritAnd they that worship him must

                                   worship him in spirit, and in truth.           John 4:23-24 

 

14:15 If you love Me, Keep My Commandments.14:16 And I will pray The Father,

    and HE Shall Give you Another Counselor, that HE May Stay* With you, Forever;

14:17  The Spirit Of Truth; Whom the world cannot receive, because it sees

      HIM not, neither knows HIM. But You Know HIM; For HE LIVES*WITH You,
                                                       And SHALL BE IN You.                    John 14:15-17

 

 20:21  Then Jesus said to them again: Peace to you. As MY Father Has Sent ME,

        even so, I send you.20:22 And when HE Had Said This, HE Breathed On them,

                            And Says To them: Receive The Holy Ghost.        John 20:21-22

 

    And Behold, I Send The Promise Of MY Father Upon you. But you stay* In The

     City Of Jerusalem, Until You Be Clothed With* Power From On High.  Luke 24:49 

 

If Any of us has not Received The Holy Spirit; we would do well to ASK JESUS For

HIS HOLY SPIRIT: ….how much more shall your Heavenly Father, Give The Holy

                                                Spirit, to them that ASK HIM                   Luke 11:13b


The WAY Of JESUS Is For HIM To Do The Work…  Through usBy HIS HOLY SPIRIT.
                           We Must Do Things HIS WAY, the way that Jesus did:

        
  Believe you not, that I Am In The Father, and The Father In Me?

                       The Words That I Speak To you, I Speak Not Of Myself.

                        The Father That LIVES*IN MEHE does the works."     John 14:10b

 

   IF we Have HIS HOLY SPIRIT; Then we Will Say And Do What JESUS Said And Did.

 

            stay*= tarry; wait    Lives*=dwells    Stay*= Abide; Live     endued with*=clothed with

                                                                                   (9)   nothing*=naught.

 

JESUS TELLS US WE WILL KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT, FOR HE WILL TESTIFY OF JESUS,

       IN US AND THROUGH US. THIS WILL PLEASE GOD AS WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT

TESTIFIED OF GOD IN JESUS AND THROUGH JESUS, AND IS ALWAYS WITH JESUS:

 And HE That Sent ME IS WITH ME. The Father Has Not Left ME Alone. For I Always

                                            Do Those Things that Please HIM                    John 8:29

 

             GOD IS A SPIRIT   John 4:24a     I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.      John 10:30 

 

           And when Jesus was asked by the Pharisees, When The Kingdom Of God

            should come, He answered them and said: The Kingdom Of God comes

            not with observation.17:21 Neither shall they say, lo here! Or, lo there!

                   For Behold: the kingdom of God is within*you.       Luke 17:20-21
                                                                                                       

                         14:18   I Will Not Leave you orphans* I Will Come To you.

                      14:20 At that day, You shall know that I AM IN MY Father,

                       And you, IN ME, And I, IN you.  orphans*=fatherless    John14:18 & 20

                                                                                                                                                         

                 But when The Counselor Is Come, Whom I WILL SEND To you
                        From The Father, The Spirit Of Truth, which proceeds
                           FROM THE FATHER, HE Shall Testify  OF ME.             John15:26

 

                                  JESUS TELLS US HE IS SENDING US INTO THE WORLD

                     AS HE WAS SENT INTO THE WORLD; With HIS HOLY SPIRIT:

                                As MY Father Has Sent ME, Even So, I Send You.

                            And When Jesus Had Said This, HE Breathed On them,

                          And Says To them:  Receive THE HOLY SPIRIT.          John 20:21b-22

 

                    For John truly baptized with water. But You shall be Baptized

                           With The HOLY SPIRIT,* not many days from now.*        Acts1:5

                                                                                                                                                        

   therefore: You Be merciful, as your Father also, is merciful  Luke 6:36

 

                         We are warned through Peter, the ”righteous” are barely Saved:

4:18  And, if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly

                     and the sinner appear? 4:19 Wherefore, let them that suffer

           According To the will of God, commit the keeping of their souls

                to him; in well doing; as to a faithful Creator    1stPeter 4:18-19

 

            We are warned through Paul that we are to work out our own Salvation

                                                     with Fear and Trembling:                                              

  Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only,

          but now much more in my absence,  work out your own salvation;

                                          with fear, and trembling                     Philippians 2:12

 

                             Paul’s Words Again; Lead us Back To THE WORDS OF JESUS: 

2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind, let each

    esteem other, better than themselves.2:4 Look not every man on his own things,

but every man also; on the things of others. 2:5 Let this mind be in you,

                                        which was also in Christ Jesus.           Philippians 2:3-5

 

     therefore: You Be merciful, as your Father also, is merciful.   Luke 6:36

 

And why You call Me, Lord, Lord, and not do the things which I sayLuke 6:46

 

             GOD IS A SPIRIT   John 4:24a     I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.        John 10:30 

 

           within*=inside you, in your midst, among you        from now*=hence     

                                                                                 (10)

 

                                   Continuing To Preach JESUS In Philippians; Paul writes:

                     2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.

      2:6 Who, being In The Form Of God, thought it not robbery To Be Equal With God;

2:7 but MADE himself of no reputation, and took upon HIM the form of a servant,

and was made in the likeness of men.2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he

 humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

2:9   Wherefore, GOD Also Has Highly Exalted HIM, And Given him a name, Which Is

  Above every name.2:10 That, at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow,

  of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. 2:11 And, that

                every tongue should confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord,

                                       to the glory of  God the Father.

2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only,

     but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation, with fear, and

             trembling.2:13 For it is God which works in you* both to will, and

                              to do of  his  good pleasure.             Philippians 2:3-13

 

             When we have received HIS Holy Spirit, we WILL follow JESUS’ lead

        We WILL KNOWFROM HIM; And BY HIM: What To Do. we WILL Also  KNOW 

That What Is Being Done For JESUS SAKE And HIS GOSPEL; Is Being Done BY JESUS,

            IN us And Through us. By BELIEVING That JESUS WILL DO IT, IN us And

               THROUGH us Is how we  Glorify Jesus And “DO” The Work Of GOD:

 

               Jesus answered, and Said To them: This Is The Work Of God: That You

                                       Believe On HIM, Whom HE Has Sent.                   John 6:29   

 

Truly, truly I say to you: he That Believes On ME, Has Everlasting Life. John 6:47

 

17:8   For I have Given to them, The Words Which Thou Gave Me. And they have

            Received Them, and have Known, Surely, That I Came Out From Thee.

                            And They Have Believed That Thou Did Send Me.    

   17:9 I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for them which Thou Has

                    Given ME. For they Are Thine. 17:10 And All Mine, Are Thine.

       And Thine, Are MINE. And I HAVE BEEN GLORIFIED,* IN them.   John17:8 -10

 

     JESUS DOING The Works IN us And THROUGH us Is How GOD IS GLORIFIED

       IN JESUS: And Whatsoever You Shall  Ask In My Name, That, I Will Do:

                               That The Father May Be Glorified IN The SonJohn 14:13


    we are to Credit JESUS for the Good Works HE Does Through us, Just As Jesus

        Always Gives Credit To The Father for the Good Works Done Through HIM:

          Believe you not, that I Am In The Father, and The Father In Me?

                          The Words That I Speak To you, I Speak not of Myself.

                        The Father* That LIVES*In ME  HE* Does The Works    John 14:10b

 

10:37 If I do not The Works Of My Father,  Believe ME Not.10:38 But If I Do, Though

        You Believe ME Not, Believe The Works, That You May KNOW, And  Believe,

                             That THE FATHER IS IN ME, And I, IN HIM.              John 10:37-8 

 

              If “we” do anything any other way than the way that Jesus showed us,
                  Jesus tells us That To BELIEVE HIM MEANS TO DO WHAT HE SAYS:

why You call Me, Lord, Lord, and not do the things which I say? Luke 6:46

 

          GLORIFIED*=Honored, Reverenced             (11)                           LIVES =*Dwells

 

7:21  Not every one that says to ME, Lord, Lord, shall enter into The Kingdom Of
             Heaven; but he that Does The Will Of My Father, Which IS In Heaven.
 

7:22 Many will say to ME in that day, Lord, LORD, have we not prophesied in Thy

   Name? And in Thy Name have cast out demons?*And in Thy Name, done many

      wonderful works?  7:23 And then will I profess to them, I never knew you.
                                       Depart from ME, you that work evil.*               Matt.7:21-23
 

 

How can “we” be doing “The Lord's Work”, and The Lord tell us to depart from HIM

     because we did evil?* The answer is “we”  think “we” are doing the work. 

                          That IS THE EVIL….. That is NOT the waY Jesus Does Things.

  Jesus says  ...The Father That Lives IN ME HE does the works    John 14:10b

 

                        I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to
                                                  the Father, but by me.                           
 John 14:6

 

         GOD IS A SPIRIT   John 4:24a     I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.       John 10:30 

 

 And why You call ME, Lord, Lord, and not do the things which I say? Luke 6:46 

                                                                                                                               

     But you go and learn what that means, I will have mercy, And NOT

                sacrifice. For I am not come to call the righteous,

                                           but Sinners To Repentance.                   Matt.9:13

 

          For I desired mercy and not sacrifice. and the knowledge of
                                       God,
more than burnt offerings.                    Hosea 6:6

 

       Everything “we” do must be done IN JESUS; WITH JESUS; THROUGH JESUS;

                                                 AND BY JESUS…..LIVING IN us:

    I AM The Vine. ye are the branches. he That REMAINS* IN ME, And I IN him, he

Bears Much Fruit. For apart from ME, You are able to do nothing John 15:5

 

     If “we do” things any other way than IN JESUS; WITH JESUS; THROUGH JESUS;

                                                  AND BY JESUS LIVING IN us….Then:

          If a man abide not In Me, he is cast out as a branch, and is withered.

  And men gather them, and cast them into the fire. And they are burned. John 15:6

 

                             AND THEN we can expect to hear JESUS Say:

            I never knew you. Depart from ME, you that work lawlessness.    Matt.7: 23 b

 

8:28 Then Jesus Said To them: When you have lifted up The Son Of Man, then you

shall KNOW, that I AM; And That I DO Nothing Of Myself. But As MY Father Has Taught

ME, I speak these things.8:29 And HE that Sent ME IS WITH ME. The Father has not left

              ME Alone; For I Always DO Those Things That Please HIM     John 8:28-29

 

   JESUS TELLS us PLAINLY HE Does Nothing Without The HOLY SPIRIT FATHER GOD.

     And Therefore: HOLY SPIRIT FATHER GOD IS Always WITH JESUS; IN JESUS;

And IS Always Pleased With JESUS. So…who are “we” to be doing ANYTHING  GOOD

     Without JESUS Working Through us; And WITH us; And IN us… And us… IN HIM?

       GOD IS A SPIRIT   John 4:24a           I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.      John 10:30 

 

       Holy Father, Keep Through Thine Own Name, those whom Thou Has Given ME:

                                        That They May Be ONE, AS WE ARE.                     John17:11b

 

           demons*=devils= devils=demons         Abides*=Stays, Remains; Lives;        evil*=iniquity

                                                                                  (12)

 

Before the next time “we” wave “our” hands in the air to declare “our own” Salvation,

 we may be wise to consider all of these things. It may also be wise to consider

that since It Is God’s Choice To Grant Salvation By HIS GRACE, which is  BY HIS

Compassion, His Favor And HIS MERCY; we should be doing what JESUS COMMANDS:

therefore: you Be merciful, as your Father also, is merciful. Luke 6:36

 

                For he that has showed no mercy, shall have judgment without mercy.

                                        And Mercy is better than*Judgment.            James 2:13

 

       rejoices against*=triumphs over;  Mercy triumphs over judgment, Mercy is better than judgment. 

 

                              Speaking of finding Favor, i.e. Grace, In The Sight of

                                              THE LORD, Paul is led to write:

                      So Then, It Is Not Of him That Wills, Nor Of him That Runs,

                                           But Of GOD, That Shows Mercy.                  Romans 9:16

 

                    MERCY IS GOD’S CHOICE, NOT OURS.   WE MUST BE MERCIFUL

therefore, you Be merciful, as your Father also, is merciful. Luke 6:36

 

             Blessed are the Merciful, for they shall obtain mercy     Matt.5:7

 

              Lives=dwelleth* The Father*=HE*= The HOLY SPIRIT= GOD IS A SPIRIT   John 4:24a      

 

       We do have an enemy in this life, but it is not the enemy some would lead us to

    believe. JESUS tells us who our enemy is in this life, satan And his demon spirits:     

 The sower sows the word. 4:15 And these are they by the way side, where The

 Word is sown. But when they have heard, satan comes immediately, and takes

                      away the word, that was sown in their hearts Mark 4:14-15

6:10  Finally, my brethren, be strong In The Lord, and In The Power Of his Might.

6:11    Put on the whole Armor Of GOD, that you may be able to stand against the

   wiles of the devil. 6:12 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.

                                                                                                                    Ephesians 6:10-12

 

      5:6 Humble yourselves therefore, under The Mighty Hand Of God, that HE may

       exalt you in due time. 5:7 Casting all your care upon HIM; for HE cares for you.

 5:8     Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary, the devil, walks about as a

roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 5:9 Whom, resist, steadfast in The

    Faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that

      are in the world. 5:10 But The God of all grace, Who has called us to HIS

      Eternal Glory, By Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you

             perfectestablish, strengthen, settle you. 5:11 To him be glory and

                                          dominion for ever and ever.  Amen.  1st Peter 5:6-11

 

 Jesus, Paul an Peter all tell us our enemy is not human. Our enemy is the devil; and

  spiritual wickedness. We are told to be strong in our faith in Jesus and to resist the

  devil. We are told satan will rob The Word Of GOD from some people, for whom we

      are told to put on The Armor Of God, and bring them THE GOSPEL OF JESUS:

6:13  Wherefore, take to you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to

withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 6:14  Stand therefore, having

 your loins girt about with Truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 6:15 

 And your feet, shod with The Preparation Of the gospel of peace; 6:16 Above all,

taking the shield of Faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts

of the wicked.6:17 And take the helmet of Salvation, and The Sword Of The Spirit,

       Which IS the word of God.6:18  Praying always, with all prayer and 

      request IN THE SPIRIT, and watching thereto with all perseverance and

                                                Prayer, For All Saints.                           Ephesians 6:13-18


                                                                  
(13) 

 

The only offensive weapon in GOD’S ARMOR we are to put on is the word of God.

         We are told to Have faith in jesus, resist the devil and preach

    the gospel of salvation to every creature, and to show mercy to all.

If someone is saved, jesus will be The Judge and HE will be Merciful and save them.

 If someone is damned. jesus will be The Judge and HE will condemn them. Those

  are his Jobs. Our jobs IS: 16:15 And He Said to them: Go you into all the world,

   and preach The Gospel to every creature. 16:16 he that  Believes, And Is Baptized;

                 shall be saved. But he that believes not  shall be damned.   Mark 16:15-18

 

          When will we know that our job is to recognize we are in a Spiritual battle?

     therefore, You Be merciful, as your Father also, is merciful. Luke 6:36

 But if you had known what this means, I will have mercy and not sacrifice*

                                You would not have condemned the guiltless.        Matt.12:7

            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. Ephesians 6:12


This will only be Revealed to us By The Power Of The Holy Spirit Of God. Only By The

Power Of The Holy Spirit Of God will we understand what God Says. We have all read

   an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth; but have we read it with understanding?

Do we think we know What eye for eye and tooth for tooth means? And Why GOD

Said it? Could it be GOD was telling us don’t be stupid enough to pull out eyes and

tear out teeth? If you do so, your eyes will be pulled out and your teeth will be torn

         out? Whatever GOD’S reason for saying it, Jesus Came To Magnify The Law.*

 And JESUS Came To Show us what we should Do And Say if we are to FOLLOW HIM:

 5:38 ye have heard that it has been said: an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

   5:39 But I Say to you: That you Resist Not Evil. But Whosoever Shall Strike*

                          You On Your Right Cheek, Turn Also The Other To him.      Matt. 5:38

 

 Magnify The Law*= speaking of the coming of the SPIRIT OF God to earth,

 IN THE BODY OF Jesus, Isaiah was led to write: 42:18 Hear, you deaf; and look,

       you blind, that you May SEE. 42:19 Who is blind, but MY Servant? Or deaf, as MY

 Messenger That I Sent? Who is blind As HE That Is Perfect, And blind As the LORD'S

Servant? 42:20 Seeing many things, but you observe not. Opening the ears, but he  

  hears not. 42:21 The LORD Is Well Pleased For his righteousness' sake*

                         he Will Magnify The Law, And Make It Honorable.*    Isaiah 42:18-21

 

              If you Were Blind, you Should Have No Sin. But Now you Say: We See.
                                                  Therefore, Your Sin Remains.                    John 9:41
        

  

 Have we read and understood God’s Word By The Power Of The Holy Spirit Of God?

           2:12 Therefore now also, says the LORD, turn You even to me with all

    Your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.

2:13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and Turn to the LORD

                   Your God. For HE IS Gracious and Merciful, slow to anger,

                          And Of Great  Kindness, And Repents Him of the evil.    Joel 2:12-13

 

         And he said: I Will Make all my goodness Pass Before You, And I will

   proclaim the name of the LORD before thee. And I will be gracious to

                  whom I will be gracious, And I will shOw mercy on whom

                                                    I will shOw mercy.        Exodus 33:19 (Romans 9:15)

     to as many as Thou Has Given Him.17:3 And This Is Life Eternal: That They Might

                  With The Glory Which I Had With Thee, Before The World Was

   From Thee. And They Have Believed That Thou Did Send Me.

17:9 I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for them which Thou Has Given

      Me. For they are Thine. 17:10 And All Mine, Are Thine. And Thine, Are Mine.

                               son of perdition; that the scripture, might be fulfilled.

 

17:13   And now, I Come To Thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they

       might have My Joy, fulfilled, In themselves.17:14 I Have Given them Thy Word.

         That they May Be PERFECTED INTO ONE; And that the world may Know,

             That Thou Has Sent ME, And Has Loved them, As Thou Has Loved ME.

17:24 Father, I Will that they also, whom Thou Has Given Me, Be With Me Where I Am

         that they may behold My Glory, Which Thou Has Given Me. For Thou Loved Me;

     before the  foundation of the world.17:25 O Righteous Father, the world has not

       known Thee. But I Have Known Thee. And these have Known, That Thou

     Has Sent ME.17:26 And I Have Declared To them  Thy Name, And Will Declare It;

    ThatThe Love Wherewith Thou Has Loved Me,  May Be IN them, And I, IN them.

   hate you, you know that it hated ME before it hated you.15:19 If you were of the
