And measures and matters of The Truth of the "time" we are in ...how "man" ..."thought to change time and times ... Dearly beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, how that one day is with the Lord, as a thousand year, and a thousand year as one day. The Lord is not slack to fulfil his promise, as some men count slackness: but is patient to us ward, and would have no man lost, but would receive all men to repentance.
creteis@yahoo.com Behold in a nightmare of the dark season ...of the times and time ..of the season of man ...see son of man ...
and i was taken and shown a war within a man ...
and the war raged ...of the will of God and Christ in spirit and truth ...against the will of the world of the worldly in and of the flesh of man ...
and the lust of the eye lust of the flesh and the pride of goods ...raged against the spirit of truth and rightness and equity ...
and the mans desire to be honored of men ...twisted and corrupted and worked evil against the will of God and Christ for the man ...
and the world of the worldly gathered up to honor the man ...and the works of his hands ...
and if the man took one step into the spot light of the world ...he had to leave the will of God and Christ for him ...behind ...
and the whole of all things desirable in and of the flesh ...in and of the world ...worked the man to set aside the things of God and Christ in spirit and truth ...
even any and all compromises were offered ...where any might look religious ...might look worthy to lead in power ...to rule over other ...be a leader ...
nevertheless all of all wretched wickedness within was shown ...
and how the man was moved and manipulated of his own desires and demanding's of his own thinking and reasoning ...proud understanding...wants and wishes ...
and all that above the will of God and Christ foe him in spirit and truth ...
OH who can save such a man ? who can keep such a man safe and saves ...of such wretched vile wickedness...
and the question comes ...can a religion ...temples whorship ...can proud honored works of man ?
No ...no not one thing in and of the world of the worldly can save any ...
No not even the man himself ...
Blessed be God our father and Jesus our brother and Lord ...for keeping any safe and saved ...
and i was shown the man ...on the other side ...other side of an high wall ...
even a wall so high that nothing could come over it ...not even the air ...errors of the world ...
and the man was standing on the plain of Heaven ...
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
Remember ye not brethren (I speak to them that know the law) how that the law hath power over a man as long as it endureth? For the woman which is in subjection to a man, is bound by the law to the man, as long as he liveth. If the man be dead, she is loosed from the law of the man. So then if while the man liveth she couple herself with another man, she shall be counted a wedlock breaker. But if the man be dead, she is free from the law: so that she is no wedlock breaker, though she couple herself with another man.
Even so ye my brethren, are dead concerning the law by the body of Christ, that ye should be coupled to another (I mean to him that is risen again from death) that we should bring forth fruit unto God. For when we were in the flesh, the lusts of sin which were stirred up by the law reigned in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death. But now are we delivered from the law and dead from that whereunto we were in bondage that we should serve in a new conversation of the spirit, and not in the old conversation of the letter.
What shall we say then? is the law sin?. God forbid: but I knew not what sin meant but by the law. For I had not known what lust had meant, except the law had said, thou shalt not lust. But sin took an occasion by the means of the commandment and wrought in me all manner of *concupiscence. For verily without the law, sin was dead. I once lived without law. But when the commandment came, sin revived, and I was dead. And the very same commandment which was ordained unto life, was found to be unto me an occasion of death. For sin took occasion by the means of the commandment, and so deceived me, and by the self commandment slew me. Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, just and good.
Was that then which is good, made death unto me? God forbid. Nay sin was death unto me, that it might appear, how that sin by the means of that which is good, had wrought death in me: that sin which is under the commandment, might be out of measure sinful. For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin, because I *wot not what I do. For what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I. If I do now that which I would not, I grant to the law that it is good. So then now, it is not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is to say in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing. To will is present with me: but I find no means to perform that which is good. For I do not that good thing which I would but that evil do I, which I would not. Finally if I do that I would not, then is it not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me, doeth it. I find then by the law that when I would do good, evil is present with me. I delight in the law of God, concerning the inner man. But I see another law in my members rebelling against the law of my mind, and subduing me unto the law of sin, which is in my members. O wretched man that I am: who shall deliver me from this body of death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself in my mind serve the law of God, and in my flesh the law of sin.
*concupiscence: strong desire; lust of the flesh, lust of the eye and/or pride of goods. *wot (know)
