The WORD as Fire
There are multitudes of sinning "Christians" spawned by unclean gospels that brings strong delusion from God "lest they be converted and healed". Jesus said,"No one comes to the Father except by me". We know that no whoremonger or covetous man can enter into the kingdom of God unless they repent unto godly sorrow by the grace of God that brings salvation, teaching by the Holy Ghost, "to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live sober and righteous in this present world". Serpent theology-taught, ungodly ministers of unbelief, with their "hath God said?, planting tares of deceit.
Hirelings have crept in unawares, masquerading as anointed men of God, deceiving if it were possible, even the elect.
Did not the holy apostles and prophets warn that in the latter days there would be mockers walking after their own lusts?
Children of God: Grace and Peace be multiplied to you
that are near, and to those who are afar off.
Blessed are your eyes, for they see!
And blessed are your ears, for they hear!
The LORD He is God and there is no other god or savior beside Him.
His name is called, The Word of God.
The First and The Last. The Almighty.
He is the KING of glory. The LORD mighty in battle.
Out of His mouth is a two-edged sword of His Holy Spirit
and He is clothed with a vesture dipped in blood.
“And I turned to see the voice that spake with me.
And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man,
clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow;
and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace;
and his voice as the sound of many waters.
And he had in his right hand seven stars:
and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword:
and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.
And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me,
Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead;
and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”
(Revelation 1:12-18 KJV)
“Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly
among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed,
and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts;
and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration
because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before
of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers
in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God,
looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
And of some have compassion, making a difference:
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire;
hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling,
and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power,
both now and ever. Amen.”
(Jude 1:14-25 KJV)
“In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression;
for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.”
(Isaiah 54:14 KJV)

Forsaken assembly, called to come out.
“And I will give power unto my two witnesses,
and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth.”
Revelation 11:3 KJV
Not many witnesses left who testify being quickened
By the Spirit of Christ in the likeness of His ressurection.
The godly man ceases and the faithful fail among the children men.
Help Lord!
Tongues have ceased.
Prophesyings by course.
No one has a psalm.
None can speak as the Spirit gives the utterance.
Though many are gathered, It is desolate house.
Swept by every wind of false doctrine
And garnished with the spoil of the poor.
It is a den of thieves.
All seek their own. Vanities.
Forsaken assembly, called to come out.
Into the wilderness, flee for your life.
Because the body is dismembered.
By ravenous wolves and idol shepherds not sparing the flock.
And the bones, they are very dry.
They lie scattered in the valley of weeping.

Going on to perfection: A pilgrim's Quest for sinlessness.
Who dares to believe in a sinless Christ, Whose Spirit is Holy and dwells in temples,
"earthen vessels", made without hands, redeemed from all iniquity?
Dare one believe to receive the power of Christ manifest in forgiveness and remission of sin?
"LORD IF THOU WILL, YOU CAN MAKE ME CLEAN.
I WILL. BE THOU CLEAN!"
“And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.” (Luke 5:12-13 KJV)
They will laugh you to scorn for seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Being filled with the Holy Spirit is evidence of the righteousness of God,
the fruit of the Spirit is holiness.
“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
(2 Peter 1:3-8 KJV)
“For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.”
(Ephesians 5:9 KJV)
JESUS SAID, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.'
AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE POWER
AFTER THAT THE HOLY GHOST SHALL COME UPON YOU.
Some believe and receive, and tremble at the word of God.
Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?
“And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,
and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father,
will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children:
how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?”
Luke 11:9-13 KJV

God in One Person: Jesus Christ is LORD
I know that God is a Holy Spirit and must be worshipped in spirit and in truth.
That man has been created in the likeness of God. Blood, Water and Spirit.
And I know, "without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness" (1Tim3:16)
There are many divisions and denominations that have a form of godliness
but no "substance of things hoped for." FAITH IN GOD.
Because they do not believe in One God in the Person of Jesus Christ.
"Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world!"
"To as many as have received him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God"
Born again by the Spirit, washed in the Blood, cleansed by the Word.
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.”
(Deuteronomy 6:4-5 KJV)
I do not believe the God in three Persons doctrine of trinity.
"there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.”
1 John 5:7 KJV. (You will find this scripture omitted in the popular NIV)
The Father, the Word, the Holy Ghost dwells in One Person: Jesus Christ.
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”
(Colossians 2:8-9 KJV)
“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”
(Revelation 3:11 KJV)
Peace in Christ.

Serpents teaching whom they may devour.
What we have now is pseudo-pentecostalism.
Only the elect of God preserved in Jesus Christ, know that we are in the midst of apostasy where "evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived". Give not that which is holy to dogs and keep yourself pure and unspotted from the world, "working out your own salvation with fear and trembling" Beholding the Word of God. Did not the holy apostles and prophets warn us that there would be MOCKERS in these latter days? But he that endures to the end as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, shall be saved. Knowing the scriptures.and warning every man,
that, "the Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter days some shall DEPART FROM THE FAITH,
giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy."
Serpents teaching whom they may devour.
God having given them over to a reprobate mind. "Professing themselves to be wise they became fools." Having their consciences seared as with a hot iron". The LORD rebuke them and reward them according to their abominable works.

"Crucify Him, away with the Truth!"
There is a secret place in the shadow of the Almighty. Be not weary in well doing for The Lord is faithful. "Lo I AM with you always, even unti the end of the world." "Heaven and earth shall pass away (with fervent heat) but My words shall abide forever" Abide in the Word. Be not dismayed. Wait on The Lord and he will strengthen your heart. All scripture given by God is rejected by men and nations who oppose the Light shining in a dark place. Even the tablet stones of commandments have been removed from public places. The holy Bible taken away from schools lest the Light of the glorious gospel shine upon seekers of truth. For the god of this world has blinded the eyes so that by ever-learning the wisdom of men, they cannot escape the corruption that is the light of their bodies. Having eyes they cannot perceive, and ears they cannot hear the marvelous things God has prepared for those who have an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying.
Naturally, the carnal mind cannot receive the Light to shine before them, having turned away from the Bible, "Crucify Him, away with the Truth!". their hearts alienated, seeking lying vanities. Consciences void of understanding because their is no Light in them. Dull of hearing words of life and peace.
“Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him,
as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man,
which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
Ephesians 4:18-24 KJV

"Can one receive the Holy Spirit and remain unclean?"
"I love God, but am so weak I sin everyday... "
This is their story, this is their song.
"Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven"
The sins that remain don't seem to mind these people.
They have been taught by pastors speaking lies through hypocrisy.
Since THEY cannot cease from sin, they presume nobody else can.
They presume their position is in Christ,
But deny His power to cleanse from all unrighteousness.
Lovers of pleasures and evil communications,
they have gone after the way of Cain
whose offering was rejected
who despised his brother's sacrifice
because God accepted it as righteous.
Take heed to the word and testimony of Jesus Christ.
"Nobody's perfect" is the damnable heresy that teaches
indwelling sin must remain after the conversion and new birth
into "newness of life".
This doctrine of hypocrisy declares no one can be made free
from the bondage of sin. No one can be made perfectly whole.
Sinless. The Blood of Christ is quenched, and there is no more
sacrifice for sin. There is no place for repentance.
That's why the mantra of hypocrites is,
"Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven."
But because they love darkness rather than the Light,
they rejoice and exchange gifts with one another.
How can that be?
What communion has Christ with Belial?
What part has Light with darkness?
Can one receive the Holy Spirit and be unclean?"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge"
Not many people know this,
because if they did, they would work out their own salvation
with fear and trembling. Never mind the weak and beggarly words
of the faint hearted, "I love God, but am so weak I sin everyday... "
Christians of this low calibre don't seem to mind this condition of sin that remains, But rather they rejoice and exchange gifts with one another
for they say with gladness: CHRISTIANS AREN'T PERFECT, JUST FORGIVEN"
Truth is, they never were "one of us"
I ask you: Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?
If so, why do you confess Uncleaness?
The mouth speaks from the heart.
From a treasure of evil imaginations,
or out of the river of life in Christ Jesus.
When I see or hear a flood of foul words and blasphemy,
I know an unclean spirit is speaking through that man or woman.
Not many wrestle against spiritual wickedness because they cannot keep their own body under subjection.
Sin should not have dominion over you. Not if you have received the Holy Ghost which is the power of Christ given to "as many as have received Him". On the other hand, multitudes have given heed to and received seducing spirits.
They are unclean and profane. Evil communications corrupt good manners.
Beware. To touch the unclean thing is forbidden of The Lord.
When the unclean spirit leaves for a time, then returns to find the body swept and garnished by the carnal mind justifying the body of sin.
"Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first."
(Luke 11:26 KJV)

Beware of the two golden calves: TBN and DAYSTAR
I'll say it plain, once again:
COVETOUSNESS IS IDOLATRY. These twin Towers of Babel are reserved for judgement. The blood of the prophets who have testified against her cries out. The LORD REBUKE THEE, THOU WHITED WALL OF HYPOCRISY. FULL OF DECEIT AND MERCHANDISERS OF THE HOLY VESSELS YOU HAVE TAKEN BY FORCE FROM THE SANCTUARY OF THE HIGHEST THAT YOU HAVE PROFANED AND TORN DOWN THE VEIL THAT WAS RENT AND HAVE SET UP YOUR GODS OF SILVER AND GOLD, BRASS, IRON AND CLAY. YOU FEAST WITH THE SAINTS AS SPOTS AND WRINKLES, YOUR EYES ARE FULL OF ADULTERY AND WITH FEIGNED WORDS OF FLATTERY YOU DECEIVE THE SIMPLE SOULS, WITH LYING LIPS CONCEIVED FROM SERPENT SEED, YOU BLASPHEME THE HOLY ONE, HIS TEMPLE AND THE SAINTS PRESERVED IN JESUS CHRIST, WHO YOU DESPISE, EVEN HIS BLOOD YOU TRAMPLE UPON, CRUCIFYING TO YOURSELVES AFRESH THE CHRIST OF GOD. YOUR LYING VANITIES ARE A STENCH TO THE PURE IN HEART. YOUR APOSTLES HAVE BEEN FOUND LIARS, YET THEY CONTINUE TO SPEAK LIES BOLDLY IN HYPOCRISY. THE LORD SEND HIS FIRE ARROWS AND COALS OF JUNIPER BE ON YOUR HOARY HEADS. IT IS ENOUGH. MENE TEKEL.

"I NEVER KNEW YOU"
Christians who say they know God but cannot-cease-from-sinning
have a problem. Either their salvation is a lie, or they have fallen back into perdition.
The besetting sin must be acknowledged and confessed to God.
"Against thee only have I sinned"
Jesus is the Advocate for our sins if we repent, He is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"
Sin is like leprosy, it eats away in our flesh and corrupts the spirit of man.
Since Adam, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
By presumption no flesh can see God.
The testimony of the Blood is remission of sins.
The sinner is born again into a new creature by the Spirit and Word of God.
"My words, they are spirit and they are life", Jesus said.
"Lord, if thou whilst, thou can make me clean.
I will. Be thou clean!"
We can see by the light of Christ, that MAN CANNOT LIVE
WITHOUT THE BREAD OF LIFE. Jesus is The Bread of Life.
And we live by EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.
This is Truth: ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD
FOR SOUND DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOFS AND CORRECTION,
THAT THE MAN OF GOD BE THOUROUGHLY EQUIPPED
FOR THE MASTER'S USE. Who is this Master?
The KING OF GLORY. Who is the KING OF GLORY?
The LORD OF HOSTS, mighty in battle. He is the KING OF GLORY.
So arm yourself with the weapons that are mighty through God
To the pulling down of strongholds. casting down imaginations,
bringing every thought into the obedience of Christ."
Does this sound like a wretched man who cannot cease from sin?
"The good that I would, I do not;
and the evil that I would not, that I do"
This is the mantra of an unstable soul, "in the bondage of sin and death".
IN JESUS CHRIST THERE IS NO SIN
"There is therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus"
Jesus was accused of blasphemy because he said God was his father.
True believers are accused of hypocrisy because they say they are clean.
Dare one boast in the righteousness of Christ
and he is shunned by the carnal minded who walk after the flesh,
"These are they that our sensual, having not the Spirit"
Who has bewitched you?
“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him
that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:”
Galatians 1:6 KJV
UNGODLY MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES
Unholy spirit filled ministers have a spawned another gospel that brings strong delusion
That we can serve two masters. That God is love and cannot refuse anyone who approaches him. With unholy hands and unclean hearts we can worship God. But Jesus said, NO MAN CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS. EITHER HE WILL HOLD TO THE ONE AND DESPISE THE OTHER,
OR LOVE THE ONE AND HATE THE OTHER". So said THE ALMIGHTY.
“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”
(Romans 6:16 KJV)
If you don't know this, you are dead in your sins.

AGE OF GROSS DARKNESS
“As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain,
so was the appearance of the brightness round about.
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.
And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.”
(Ezekiel 1:28 KJV)
THE WICKED ONE REVEALED
When you see Gross darkness in the light of a rainbow:
Then you know The Day of the Lord is near and hastens quickly.
The reapers have separated the tares from the wheat.
"Awake thou that sleepest and Christ shall give you light"
The sign of the rainbow is profaned by the Wicked one.
Filthiness and abominable spewing, "evil is good, good is evil"
Now we know by the scriptures that,
"Heaven and earth BEING ON FIRE SHALL BE DISSOLVED"
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;
in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,
the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved,
what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God,
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth,
wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things,
be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation;
even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”
2 Peter 3:9-18 KJV
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is
against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
(Romans 1:18-32 KJV)
so was the appearance of the brightness round about.
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.
And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.”
(Ezekiel 1:28 KJV)
THE WICKED ONE REVEALED
When you see Gross darkness in the light of a rainbow:
Then you know The Day of the Lord is near and hastens quickly.
The reapers have separated the tares from the wheat.
"Awake thou that sleepest and Christ shall give you light"
The sign of the rainbow is profaned by the Wicked one.
Filthiness and abominable spewing, "evil is good, good is evil"
Now we know by the scriptures that,
"Heaven and earth BEING ON FIRE SHALL BE DISSOLVED"
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;
in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,
the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved,
what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God,
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth,
wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things,
be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation;
even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”
2 Peter 3:9-18 KJV
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is
against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”

Revival of Legion
“And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name?
And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.”
Luke 8:30 KJV
It is strong delusion to experience strange fire with feelings
and sensations for the body of sin, and then to cry out,
"More Lord, More!"
Not knowing the seducing effects of unclean spirits,
that is, lying wonders.
When the smoke of her burning has cleared,
Behold, their sin remains but they have receive
the mark of iniquity sealed on their foreheads.
"Two fold more the children of hell"
Reprobate sinners,
"twice dead, plucked up from the roots"
We have seen the havoc that strange fire brings:
counterfeit salvation and conversions.
Unstable souls transformed into hypocritical mockers.
Hell opens up to receive her dead as men dwell among the tombs
naked and cutting themselves. The revival of Legion is for many.
Broad is the way that leads to destruction.
Unclean spirit-led swine running off the cliff.
No turning back. No turning back.
For it has happened to them according to the proverb:
"The dog has returned to his own vomit, and the sow that was washed,
to her wallowing in the mire."

"not willing that any should perish"
Beware of manifest sons of deception. They speak of high places in Christ. And captivate the pilgrim seekers of righteousness with "great swelling words". As a flood, their lofty words flow, boasting of communion with angels and apostolic anointings. Beware of Satan, whose ministers indeed appear righteous. Mixing scripture in unholy vessels, pouring out polluted wine. "Foaming out their own shame...who cannot cease from sin" Did not the holy apostles and prophets warn us that in the last days there would be mockers. "Having eyes full of adultery" and hearts exercised by covetous practices? Go not after them. They allure through "all deceitfulness of unrighteousness". This is the strong delusion given to a rebellious house. A people who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not" Because they have forsaken the love for the Truth and have turned aside to mockers.
Sin is the ground for deception. The grace of God that brings Salvation has appeared to all men. As we are all the offspring of God, the created being is not ignorant of the Creator. But because they did not want to retain this knowledge of God, they became vain in their imaginations and worship the creature instead of the Creator. So God has given them over to a reprobate mind having their consciences seared as with a hot iron, "giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy". LIES. Jesus warned his disciples to take heed lest any man deceive you. "For many shall come in my name saying, Lo here is Christ. and shall deceive many". MANY SHALL BE DECEIVED. MANY ARE DECEIVED. "Now there are many antichrists".
Be sober and vigilant,dear reader. Meditate in the scriptures. Watch and pray. Lest you too, "fall from your own steadfastness" Every man will be judged according to his own works. And it shall be tried by fire to see if it would remain worthy for the Master's use. The talent of grace that has been given to every man will be refined as silver in the furnace of the earth, "purified seven times" This is going on to perfection that we come forth as gold "tried in the fire". MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT THE LORD DELIVERS THEM OUT OF THEM ALL.
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

"Fisher of souls."
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!”
(Isaiah 14:12 KJV)
That old serpent, the devil. "Who goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour."
A murderer from the beginning. A liar and false accuser of the brethren. A seducing spirit.
The red dragon. Transformed as an Angel of light.
“For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:
I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation,
in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will be like the most High.” (Isaiah 14:13-14 KJV)
YET THOU SHALT BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HELL. TO THE SIDES OF THE PIT.
Aliens of another world. A land of deceit and iniquity.
Children of pride. Haters of God.
No one is good. They mock, "where is God?"
Smitten, defiled, there is none that are righteous.
"the godly man ceaseth
for the faithful fail among the children of men"
Going after strange flesh
man with man, and woman with woman
doing evil with both hands earnestly.
the least of them to the greatest, worshipping the works of their own hands
the fruit of their lips is the poison of asps.
Come, say they, Come fill yourself with wine! "The old is better!"
the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for reward,
And the great man: he declares his mischievous desire.
So they wrap it up. Their sins are full, reaching up toward heaven.
Towers of Babel. where men praise the gods of silver and gold,
"They sacrifice to their nets" whereby they lie in wait to catch men.
Fishers of men to destroy souls.
“The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house. Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.”

"many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.”
EKKLESIA 98
“Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.”
Psalms 31:24 KJV
Obscurity. This is the solitary path of the straight and narrow.
No one to follow but Jesus. One Way only.
Take heed to yourself. Watch and pray. No looking back. Remember Lot's wife.
No turning back. "many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.”
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy;
having their conscience seared with a hot iron;”. (1 Timothy 4:1-2 KJV)
The Bible is precious to those who love the Truth.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”
(2 Timothy 3:16 KJV)
The kingdom of God is not of this world. The testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophesy.
Scripture compared with scripture. "Rightly divided". Not to be mixed with "politics".
Or to equate any part of this world with the kingdom of God. Many are looking unto Israel
rather than Jesus the Author and Finisher of the faith of God. "A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas.
And he left them, and departed.” (Matthew 16:4 KJV)
True Believers must contend for: "the faith that was once delivered to the saints".
This comes by having an ear to hear the written words of God mixed with faith received by the grace of God that brings salvation. REPENT! BELIEVE THE GOSPEL!
IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO BELIEVE AT ONE TIME, BUT ONE MUST REMAIN FAITHFUL TO THE END, RECEIVING AND PARTAKING OF THE DIVINE NATURE OF JESUS CHRIST: EATING HIS FLESH AND DRINKING HIS BLOOD. THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH AND THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB IS FOR REMISSION OF SINS. "I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE", JESUS SAID. "Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?"
“No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.”
John 6:44-66 KJV

LET NO MAN TAKE YOUR CROWN
“Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.”
Colossians 4:5 KJV
“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine,
lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”
Matthew 7:6 KJV
“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves:
be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”
Matthew 10:16 KJV
Redeeming the time for the day is evil. Let those who have refused correction alone.
A heretic after the second admonition: reject. Close the door and shake the dust off your feet shod with the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Light of the world. BUT THIS IS THE CONDEMNATION: THAT MEN LOVE DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT, BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS ARE EVIL. "Working evil with both hands earnestly" IF THY HAND OFFEND THEE, CUT IT OFF. FOR IT IS BETTER THAT ONE ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD MAIMED, THEN TO ENTER INTO UTTER DARKNESS WITH BOTH HANDS, WHERE THE WORM DIETH NOT
AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED. A PLACE OF WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.
THE LIGHT OF THE BODY IS THE EYE. AND IF THY EYE BE SINGLE, THE BODY IS FULL OF LIGHT. BUT IF THE LIGHT IN YOU BE DARKNESS, HOW GREAT IS THAT DARKNESS!
Jesus is the Light. His word is a lamp in the path of righteousness. The Bible contains the Light.
The words of God are pure words. ALL SCRIPTURE IS INSPIRED OF GOD.
"Purified as silver in the furnace of earth seven times" I COUNSEL THEE TO BUY OF ME GOLD TRIED IN THE FIRE, THAT YOUR NAKEDNESS NOT APPEAR BUT THAT YOU BE CLOTHED UPON WITH THE ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAT YOU BE NOT ASHAMED AT THE COMING AND GLORIOUS APPEARING OF JESUS CHRIST. "Who is able to keep us from falling and to present us faultless "and without offense till the Day of Christ...at his appearing with ten thousands of saints." JESUS SAID, "My grace is sufficient and is made perfect in weakness"
THEREFORE I REJOICE IN MY INFIRMITIES FOR WHEN I AM WEAK, I AM STRONG.
"Lift up the hands that hang down...and lift up your head O ye gates, and the King of glory shall come in. Who is the King of Glory? The LORD of Hosts, He is the King of Glory.
The reproach of Christ is greater riches than the treasures of mammon.
WATCH AND PRAY. This is a time of sorrows. A travailing of soul. Many are seeking
to find the word of the Lord in all the wrong places. "Lo here is Christ!" apostles are found to be liars. And from the least to the greatest, all have been given over to covetousness. "The prince asketh, the judge asketh for reward, and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire. And so they wrap it up. The best of them is as a brier, the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge."
WATCH AND PRAY
LEST YE ENTER INTO TEMPTATION TO BE DEVOURED.
Don't make provision for your flesh and the lusts thereof.
Drinking from wells in hell. Wallowing in the mire. Returning to the vomit.
LET NO MAN TAKE YOUR CROWN.
“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.”
(Hebrews 10:35-36 KJV)
LET PATIENCE HAVE ITS PERFECT WORK.
THAT YOU MAY BE ENTIRELY WHOLE, LACKING NOTHING.
COMPLETE IN CHRIST. NO MORE WAVERING.
“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”
Revelation 3:11 KJV

Jesus is the Light. His word is a lamp in the path of righteousness. The Bible contains the Light.
The words of God are pure words. ALL SCRIPTURE IS INSPIRED OF GOD.
"Purified as silver in the furnace of earth seven times" I COUNSEL THEE TO BUY OF ME GOLD TRIED IN THE FIRE, THAT YOUR NAKEDNESS NOT APPEAR BUT THAT YOU BE CLOTHED UPON WITH THE ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAT YOU BE NOT ASHAMED AT THE COMING AND GLORIOUS APPEARING OF JESUS CHRIST. "Who is able to keep us from falling and to present us faultless "and without offense till the Day of Christ...at his appearing with ten thousands of saints." JESUS SAID, "My grace is sufficient and is made perfect in weakness"
THEREFORE I REJOICE IN MY INFIRMITIES FOR WHEN I AM WEAK, I AM STRONG.
"Lift up the hands that hang down...and lift up your head O ye gates, and the King of glory shall come in. Who is the King of Glory? The LORD of Hosts, He is the King of Glory.
The reproach of Christ is greater riches than the treasures of mammon.
WATCH AND PRAY. This is a time of sorrows. A travailing of soul. Many are seeking
to find the word of the Lord in all the wrong places. "Lo here is Christ!" apostles are found to be liars. And from the least to the greatest, all have been given over to covetousness. "The prince asketh, the judge asketh for reward, and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire. And so they wrap it up. The best of them is as a brier, the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge."
WATCH AND PRAY
LEST YE ENTER INTO TEMPTATION TO BE DEVOURED.
Don't make provision for your flesh and the lusts thereof.
Drinking from wells in hell. Wallowing in the mire. Returning to the vomit.
LET NO MAN TAKE YOUR CROWN.
“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.”
(Hebrews 10:35-36 KJV)
LET PATIENCE HAVE ITS PERFECT WORK.
THAT YOU MAY BE ENTIRELY WHOLE, LACKING NOTHING.
COMPLETE IN CHRIST. NO MORE WAVERING.
“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”
Revelation 3:11 KJV

The Comforter brings peace in the midst of the storm.
“And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” (Revelation 19:5-9 KJV)
A peculiar people set apart "called to be saints"
"Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the LORD in prayer"
Dear sister Fanny Crosby wrote the song, "What a friend we have in Jesus!"
The Comforter brings peace in the midst of the storm. The Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus "quickens our mortal bodies". The daily grind of an evil generation can vex and wear down the saints. "peace, be still!" WHAT MANNER OF MAN IS THIS THAT EVEN THE WIND AND SEA OBEY HIM? Jesus Christ. The Word made flesh, yet without sin. THE HIGH PRIEST OF OUR PROFESSION. THE CHIEF SHEPHERD AND BISHOP OF OUR SOULS. THE JUST ONE. THE HOLY ONE. THE ALMIGHTY. Tempted at all points as we are. "A man of sorrows, acquainted with grief" HE CAME UNTO HIS OWN, AND HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT. Because He was perfect. HE SAID, GOD WAS HIS FATHER.
"THIS IS MY BELOVED SON IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED."
“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”
(Psalms 2 KJV)
LET US LAY ASIDE THE WEIGHT AND THE SIN THAT SO EASILY BESETS US

"the fire has gone out"
“And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified of all her children.”
Luke 7:31-35 KJV
I have seen. I have heard the mockers in assemblies. The unholy laughter. Foolish shepherds. Irreverent. Unholy. unclean. Profane jesters. haters of God. Reprobate silver. Good for nothing, standing in the holy place of polluted sanctuaries. None of which have any inheritance in the kingdom of God.
“Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting,” (Ephesians 5:4 KJV)
God is not mocked. Those who sow to their flesh will of their flesh reap plagues and punishments of judgements as partakers and accomplices of hypocritical mockers whose portion awaits where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched. Woe to the idol shepherd by whom the offense of the cross comes against the children of the kingdom of Christ seeking the righteousness of God to be filled with the Holy Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Who must deny self and take up the cross daily to follow Christ. Not building again the things that were destroyed by a new and living way, by the reckoning of being dead to sin and alive to God BY THE WASHING OF REGENERATION AND THE RENEWING BY THE HOLY GHOST.
Many are sickly and others are dead feeding from pastures made foul by hireling pastors feeding themselves and not the flock. The least of them to the greatest, given over to covetousness.
This is a perilous forsaking from the faith. It is strong delusion to presume that gain is godliness.
And that money is seed for faith. Beware of merchandisers, sow-bellies, WHOSE GOD IS THEIR BELLY. "For evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived."
BECAUSE INIQUITY SHALL ABOUND, THE LOVE OF MANY SHALL WAX COLD.
The smoke of her burning is that the fire has gone out. The voice of the bridegroom is no longer heard in her. It is a desolate house. An abomination.

FAITH TO ASK
“For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?
The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him,
Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight,
and followed Jesus in the way.”
(Mark 10:45-49, 51-52 KJV)
The ministry of Jesus is with power. "My words, they are spirit and they are life".
Bartimaeus was, perhaps, the least prominent of "a great number of people" who were following the miracles that Jesus did with signs following. Blind and a beggar, Bartimaeus found his place by the highway to ask for alms. But this was the day that the LORD had made. When Barttimaeus heard that Jesus was passing by, he cried out with all his might, THOU SON OF DAVID, HAVE MERCY ON ME! Jesus called for him to come near. Do you see the picture? A blind beggar called from the dark side of the highway into the presence of Jesus! "What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?"
LORD, THAT I MIGHT RECEIVE MY SIGHT. "Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole."
Notice: "IMMEDIATELY HE RECEIVED HIS SIGHT, AND FOLLOWED JESUS IN THE WAY"
Jesus is the Light of the world. By faith in the Light that has shined in a dark place, blind beggars are translated into the kingdom of Light in Christ Jesus. ONCE I WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE!

"But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled."
EKKLESIA 93
“And they all forsook him, and fled.”
Mark 14:50 KJV
Were these the same disciples who had forsaken their nets to become fishers of men?
Surely not the ones who had healed the sick and cast out devils by the Name of their Master!
This same Jesus who had raised the dead, cleansed the lepers, and made the blind to see.
The Holy One had given his disciples authority even over unclean spirits. While the chief rulers and elders counseled together how they would kill Him. This fellow who said, "destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up". Jesus speaking of his own crucifixion., "for thus the scriptures must be fulfilled". After that, one of the twelve continually sought opportunity to betray Him. "A house divided against itself cannot stand."
"Could you not watch with me for one hour?" Gethsemane: the place of strong crying and tears.
The deep sleep upon the disciples whose spirits were willing but they had succumbed to the weakness of their flesh. For sorrow had filled their hearts.
“Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me. And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.”

Remembering the word of the LORD that came upon the prophet Micah
Woe is me! for I am as when they that have gathered the summer fruits: as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.
The good man is perished out of the earth. There is None that are upright among men.
They all lie in wait for blood. They hunt every man his brother with a net.
That they may do evil with both hands earnestly. The prince asketh, the judges asketh for a reward;
the great man uttereth his mischievous desire. So they wrap it up.
The best of them is as a brier. The most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge.
The day of thy watchmen and visitation cometh.
Now shall be their perplexity.
Trust not in a friend. Put not your confidence in a guide.
Keep the doors of your mouth shut from her that lies at thy bosom.
For the son dishonoureth the father, and the daughter rises up against her mother;
The daughter in law against her mother in law; A man's enemies are the men of his own house.
Remembering the word of the LORD that came upon the prophet Micah.
