After leaving the church - in frustration of ever-learning, but never coming to a knowledge of the Truth because of vain jangling and forms of godliness without substance of things hoped for - decades ago, in search of knowing Christ after the Spirit, I found in my searching out and hungering for the righteousness of God, an increasing appetite for the Bible. I purchased the Bible on cassette tapes and listened 6 - 8 hours daily at work. Within weeks I was addicted to hearing the scriptures straight without commentary or private interpretation. While my coworkers listened to country or heavy metal, I was listening to the Bible. This actually upset one of them who came up to my face and mocked. So I knew then, how the world hated the Bible because it contains the words of Jesus and the gospel of Christ and the books of the apostles and prophets.

Now, the Holy Ghost reproves the world
God is a Holy Spirit and must be worshipped through the spirit of a man. The flesh of man cannot see God because it is defiled. Jesus said, Out of the heart proceeds uncleanness, blasphemies, murder, malice, thefts, false witness, unbelief, covetousness, fornication, idolatry. These things defile a man. David cried, Have mercy on me, O God! Create in me a clean heart and a right spirit. Now, the Holy Ghost reproves the world of sin, righteousness and judgement because Jesus has risen from the deadness of crucified flesh and ascended into the heaven by the power of the Spirit to the glory of the Father. To as many as have received Christ, to them has been given the power to become the sons of God.
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Who will go for Us?
There is a holy remnant that remains faithful to the Christ of God, the Holy One, the Almighty, King of saints, who is coming in clouds of glory with his holy angels and saints, to execute vengeance upon all the ungodly and their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed.
The holy remnant of God are witnesses of the ressurection of Jesus Christ who was dead and now is alive forever more.
All scripture from the Holy Bible is inspired by God and is profitable for sound doctrine in Christ, and for reproof and instruction of righteousness so that the man of God may be fully equipped in the power of God, ready for the Master's use. "Who will go for Us?" "Lord, send me."
(Read Isaiah 6)
Hardening himself as A good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Delivered from the prince of the power of darkness and translated into the glorious kingdom of the Son of God in whom the fullness of the Godhead dwells.
The holy remnant is preserved from evil because they have been washed in the holy Blood of the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world that are in the lusts of the flesh to as many as have received Him, to them gave He the power to become the sons of God.
No man can know this except by the Holy Spirit.

Working out our own Salvation with Fear and Trembling
“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.”
Hebrews 11:7 KJV
Let us fear if we should somehow come up short of the kingdom of God.
Short of the glory of God.
The Grace of God that brings Salvation has appeared to every man.
For it is appointed unto man once to die, and then the judgement.
Every man's works shall be tried by fire.
We are the branches of God created in His likeness.
Every branch is purged that it may bring forth much fruit.
Jesus is the Light of the world. His name is called The Word of God.
This is the condemnation: that men love darkness rather than light,
because their deeds are evil and made manifest in the light.
Secret sins are exposed.
The thoughts and intentions of hearts revealed.
All have sinned. There is none righteous.
No one seeks after God.
WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE ALL GONE ASTRAY. Walking after our own lusts,
fulfilling the desires of our unclean hearts.
For out of the heart every man is defiled.
From within we are corrupted.
THE GOOD THAT WE WOULD DO, WE CANNOT PERFORM.
Because sin is at the door of our mouth.
The tongue is an unruly member of our body, set on the fire of hell.
There is One mightier than I, said John Baptist, whose shoe latchet
I am not worthy to unloose.
HE, THAT IS JESUS. SHALL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY GHOST AND FIRE"
God is not willing that any one should perish.
But that all should be taught of the Lord to love mercy and to do judgment.
To know the difference between the holy and the profane.
To love the LORD with all our strength and our minds.
To cast down imaginations opposing the way of Life.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Spirit of Life.
Teaching all men to deny ungodliness
and worldly lusts. To live soberly and righteously in Christ.
BORN AGAIN BY THE WILL OF GOD.
SAVED BY THE WASHING OF REGENERATION
AND RENEWING BY THE HOLY GHOST.
If we repent unto godly sorrow,
acknowledging our sins against the Holy One.
According to His tender mercies He saves us from our sins
and the powers of darkness , and translates us into the kingdom of His Dear Son.
We are passed from eternal death into life everlasting.
HOLDING FAST THE WORD OF GOD WITHOUT OFFENCE
UNTIL THE APPEARING OF JESUS CHRIST WHO SHALL JUDGE
THE QUICKENED AND THE DEAD.
Not by our own righteousness,
But by the righteousness of God in Christ.
By Faith we stand justified in the Grace of God shed abundantly on our hearts
by the Holy Spirit with our minds purged from an evil conscience,
washed in the Blood of the Lamb by the prints of the nails in His hands,
Jesus is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness". My LORD and my GOD!

E K K L E S I A. "I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord."
“Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die:
for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent.
If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief,
and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments;
and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment;
and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life,
but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
(Revelation 3:2-6 KJV)
It is the calling of repentance that men are drawn by the Father to godly sorrow.
HAVE MERCY UPON ME, O GOD! is not a scripted prayer,
IT IS A CRY FROM THE BELLY OF HELL.
“Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly,
And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me;
out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about:
all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about,
the weeds were wrapped about my head. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains;
the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption,
O Lord my God. When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord:
and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving;
I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.
And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.”
(Jonah 2:1-10 KJV)
THE GRACE OF GOD THAT BRINGS.SALVATION HAS APPEARED TO ALL MEN.
FOR ALL MEN HAVE SINNED. HE WHO SAYS HE HAS NO SIN IS A LIAR
AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM. ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY, ACCORDING TO OUR OWN DESIRES AND SINFUL INCLINATIONS.
UNTIL THE LIGHT OF THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST SHINED ON HEARTS ALIENATED FROM GOD BY ONE MAN'S DISOBEDIENCE,
DEATH CAME UPON ALL FLESH.
THATS A FACT THAT CANNOT BE DENIED.
CEMETERIES ARE FULL OF THE DEAD. RICH, FAMOUS, POOR, UNKNOWN.
MAN IS LIKE THE FLOWER THAT FLOURISHES IN THE GRASS
THAT SOON WITHERS AND PASSES AWAY.
BUT GOD WHO IS RICH IN MERCY HAS NO PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF THE WICKED
SINNERS WHO FORSAKE THE WORD OF GOD THAT BRINGS SALVATION AND ETERNAL LIFE. GOD KNOWS THAT WE ARE SINFUL FLESH AND IN NEED OF A SAVIOR. NO MAN SEEKS GOD BECAUSE GOD IS NOT IN HIS THOUGHTS. ONLY EVIL THOUGHTS AND FILTHY IMAGINATIONS DRIVE THE LUSTS OF THE WRETCHED SINNER, PROGRAMMED TO DESTRUCTION. BECAUSE THE LAWS OF GOD BRING THE SINNER INTO CONDEMNATION. THATS WHY THE VERY PRESENCE OF A BIBLE IN A PUBLIC PLACE IS ABORRANT TO THE HEATHEN THAT RAGE AGAINST THE CHRIST OF GOD.
HEAVEN AND EARTH SHALL PASS AWAY,
BUT THE WORD OF GOD SHALL ABIDE FOREVER.

"THE PRINCE OF THE WORLD IS JUDGED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD"
"THE PRINCE OF THE WORLD IS JUDGED"
THE WORLD IS REPROVED OF SIN BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE NOT
THAT IN THE BEGINNING THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND THE WORD WAS,AND IS GOD .
THE ALMIGHTY.
AND the world is reproved of RIGHTEOUSNESS BECAUSE GOD IS HOLY AND DWELLS IN EARTHEN VESSELS REDEEMED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB SLAIN BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. THE HOLY SPIRIT JUDGES RIGHTEOUSLY. WITH THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT DIVIDING APART THE SOUL FROM THE SPIRIT AND REVEALS THE HIDDEN THINGS OF THE HEART.
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
(Hebrews 4:12 KJV)
“That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth,
from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.”
(Matthew 23:35 KJV)
“By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain,
by which he obtained witness that he was righteous,
God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.”
(Hebrews 11:4 KJV)
THE SPIRIT OF GOD BEARS WITNESS
“Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.”
(1 John 5:5-9 KJV)
“They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh,
that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service."
AS CAIN KILLED HIS BROTHER ABEL BECAUSE HIS SACRIFICE WAS COUNTED AS RIGHTEOUS, ACCEPTABLE UNTO GOD. REBELLION IS AS THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT.
OBEDIENCE TO GOD IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICES TO DEVILS.
WHAT AGREEMENT IS THERE BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARKNESS?
CAN NEW WINE BE POURED INTO OLD BOTTLES? YOU UNDERSTAND THAT NO MAN
HAVING DRUNK THE OLD WINE OF UNCLEAN SPIRITS STRAIGHT AWAY DESIRES
THE NEW WINE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. BECAUSE THE SINNER DECLARES, "THE OLD IS BETTER!"
BUT BECAUSE THE HEART IS DECEITFUL AND DESPERATELY WICKED, MEN LOVE DARKNESS
RATHER THAN LIGHT BECAUSE THERE DEEDS ARE EVIL. THAT'S WHY THE HEATHEN RAGE AGAINST THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST AND ARE OFFENDED OF ANY APPEARANCE OF GODLINESS. THEY HISS AT THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS.
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
(1 Corinthians 1:18 KJV)
THE COMFORTER IS THE HOLY SPIRIT
GIVEN TO AS MANY AS HAVE RECEIVED THE LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.
“That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”
(John 1:9-17 KJV)

"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away:
for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you;
but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin,
and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.”
