And the measures and matters of Dreams and visions shown ...for all ...or any whatsoever is Given is a blessing to the children of God. creteis@yahoo.com
Behold a dream in the night season ...of the season of man and the reason ...why i am so displeased ...within ...
for i found myself ...self ...selfish ...sell fish ...standing in a line ...like at a food counter ...amongst heaps of peoples ...also standing in line ...
and as i walked ...i came to the place where meat was served ...or should i not say served ...yet each is allowed to take whatsoever portion any one might ...as it was a large serving of meat ...cut and served all in pieces ...within a vessel ...that held much meat ...
and it was that it was my turn to serve myself ...a piece of meat ...and another man appeared next to me ...and as it was he was next to choose a piece of meat after me ...as we stood there ..in order ...in line ...for the meat ...
Now it came to pass that i spied a piece of meat ...ever so slightly larger than the rest ...and it was so ...that i took it and put it to my plate ...
and in that instant i was trembled ...for of the fiber of my heart ...did i look to increase myself over any that came after me to eat ...and dread woesomeness came upon me ...instead of peace ...
for in that instant i knew of this unworthiness in the fiber of mine heart ...of heart ...of eye ...of works of my hands ...and in deed ...for i had had allowed for myself the more ...and for my fellows in line the lessor ...as is the way of the world ...that i was shown i was not yet rid of ...
for i report plainly ..that of the kingdom of heaven ...and even new earth ...all increase comes from God and Christ ...and flows out upon all ...seeking to increase the least ...that all have increase in common ...not one withholden a greater measure for himself ...
Yet ever looking of heart ...then eye ...then of hand and deed ..to increase the other ever more ...moreso even ...that to seek even the slightest measure greater than any other ...
even as it is written ...
And the multitude of them that believed, were of one heart, and of one soul. Also none of them said, that any of the things which he possessed, was his own: but had all things common. And with great power gave the Apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was with them all. Neither was there any among them, that lacked. For as many as were possessors of lands or houses, sold them and brought the price of the things that were sold, and laid it down at the Apostles feet. And distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
On the morrow as they went on their journey and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the top of the house to pray, about the sixth hour. Then waxed he an hungered, and would have eaten. But while they made ready. He fell into a trance, and saw heaven opened and a certain vessel come down unto him, as it had been a great sheet, knit at the four corners, and was let down to the earth, where in were all manner of four footed beasts of the earth, and vermin and worms, and fouls of the air. And there came a voice to him: rise Peter kill and eat. But Peter said: God forbid Lord, for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the second time: what God hath cleansed, that make thou not common. This was done thrice(three times), and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
First verily I thank my God through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is published throughout all the world. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Gospell of his son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers, beseeching that at one time or another, a prosperous journey (by the will of God) might fortune me, to come unto you. For I long to see you, that I might bestow among you some spiritual gift, to strength you with all: that is, that I might have consolation together with you, through the common faith, which both ye and I have.
But why dost thou then judge thy brother? Other why dost thou despise thy brother? We shall all be brought before the judgement seat of Christ. For it is written: as truly as I live saith the Lord, all knees shall bow to me, and all tongues shall give a knowledge to God. So shall every one of us give accounts of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more.
But judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brothers way. For I know and am full certified in the Lord Jesus that there is nothing common of itself: but unto him that judgeth it to be common: to him it is common. If thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. Cause not your treasure to be evil spoken of. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink: but righteousness, peace and joy in the holy ghost. For whosoever in these things serveth Christ pleaseth well God, and is commended of men.
Let us follow those things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. Destroy not the work of God for a little meats sake. All things are pure: but it is evil for that man, which eateth with hurt of his conscience. It is good neither to eat flesh, neither to drink wine, neither any thing, whereby thy brother stumbleth, either falleth, or is made weak. Hast thou faith? have it with thy self before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. For he that maketh conscience, is damned if he eat: because he doth it not of faith. For whatsoever is not of faith, that same is sin.
I speak as unto them which have discretion (common sense) , judge ye what I say. Is not the cup of blessing which we bless, partaking of the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break, partaking of the body of Christ? Because that we (though we be many) yet are one bread, and one body in as much as we all are partakers of one bread. Behold Israel which walketh carnally: Are not they which eat of the sacrifice, partakers of the altar?
What say I then? that the image is anything? or that it which is offered to images is anything? Nay but I say, that these things which the gentiles offer, they offer to devils, and not to God.
And I would not that ye should have fellowship with the devils. Ye cannot drink of the cup of the Lord, and of the cup of the devils. Ye can not be partakers of the Lords table, and of the table of devils. Either shall we provoke the Lord? Or are we stronger then he? All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient (helpful). All things are lawful to me, but all things edify not. Let no man seek his own profit: but let every man seek anothers wealth.
Wherefore remember that ye being in time past gentiles in the flesh, and were called uncircumcision to them which are called circumcision in the flesh, which circumcision is made by hands: Remember I say, that ye were at that time without Christ, and were reputed aliens from the common wealth of Israel, and were strangers from the testaments of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in this world. But now in Christ Jesu, ye which a while ago were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken down the wall that was a stop between us, and hath also put away through his flesh, the cause of hatred, that is to say, the law of commandments contained in the law written, for to make of twain (two) one new man in himself, so making peace: and to reconcile both unto God in one body through his cross, and slew hatred thereby: and came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have an open way in, in one spirit unto the father.
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners: but citizens with the saints, and of the household of God: and are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ being the head corner stone, in whom every building coupled together, groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord, in whom ye also are built together, and made an habitation for God in the spirit.
Judas the servant of Jesus Christ, the brother of James. To them which are called and sanctified in God the father, and preserved in *Jesu Christ. Mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. *Jesu: Hebrew for Jesus
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation it was needful for me to write unto you, to exhort you, that ye should continually labour in the faith which was once given unto the saints. For there are certain craftily crept in, of which it was written a fore time unto such judgement. They are ungodly and turn the grace of our God unto wantonness, and deny God the only Lord, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
