"If we are made in God's image why aren't we invisible?" The mockers ask.

Because, little mocker, God is a Spirit and became flesh in Jesus Christ who was crucified, dead and buried in a new sepulcher where he descended into hell and preached to the prisoners and took the keys of death and hell with him, and rose from the dead by his own Spirit and appeared to many who also rose from their graves alive to Christ. Then after he showed his nail prints to Thomas who exclaimed, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus commanded his disciples to wait for the Comforter whom the Father would send in his name to receive power to be witnesses of his ressurection "after the Holy Ghost has come upon you" before he ascended into heaven as the apostles stood gazing in wonder.

"O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken"

“And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭24:27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There are pseudo Pentecostal manifestations that can be deserned by testing the spirits and fleshly lusts. We've seen many "apostles found to be liars" and their abominable works confirmed by "lying signs and wonders". And do not the scriptures warn us about mockers appearing as ministers of righteousness?  "EVIL MEN AND SEDUCERS SHALL WAX WORSE AND WORSE, DECEIVING AND BEING DECEIVED. AND 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 THROUGH HYPOCRISY"
But that doesn't mean the gift of tongues has ceased. Why reason among yourselves, not knowing the scriptures or the power of God? Faint hearted fools, slow to believe the promises of God. The Comforter has been given because Jesus said "It is expedient that I go away" and after His ressurection He breathed on His disciples to receive the Holy Spirit, except Thomas wasn't present at that meeting. And before Jesus ascension into heaven, did not He appear before the two disciples on the road to Emmaus and expounded to them the scriptures all that the holy prophets, moved by the Holy Ghost, had said concerning Jesus and that He must suffer many things and be rejected by the chief priests and elders? And did not His words burn within their hearts as He opened up the scriptures? however not all believe the report. only to those whom the arm of the Lord is revealed. To those who hunger and thirst after His righteousness. they shall be filled. However, Many disciples are offended and walk no more in faith. For  offences must come. But woe to him by whom the offense comes. FORBID NOT SPEAKING IN TONGUES. The enemy masquerades as light deceiving many, and the truth is evil spoken of, especially tongues". He came unto his own but his own received him not". But Jesus said, "and you shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you."  The gifts and the calling of God is without repentance. That is, they do not cease except through unbelief.

Charity is the love of God. Tongues is a gift of God so we can build ourselves up in our most holy faith praying in the Spirit so we can endure hardships as good soldiers of Jesus Christ and be filled with the knowledge of God and being without offense TIL the appearing of Christ. The weapons mighty thru God for the pulling down of strongholds is by the Spirit helping us in our infirmities that in Christ we may be more than victorious singing high praises, binding kings with chains and princes with fetters of iron"

“Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets,
he expounded unto them in all the scriptures
the things concerning himself.
And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went:
and he made as though he would have gone further.
But they constrained him, saying,
Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.
And he went in to tarry with them.
And it came to pass, as he sat at the table with them,
he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

And they said one to another,
Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way,
and while he opened to us the scriptures?”

“Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name?
for thou only art holy:
for all nations shall come and worship before thee;
for thy judgments are made manifest.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭15:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭4:1-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The LORD JEHOVAH knows them that are His.
And let them that are His, depart from beholding vanities and abominations.
The lust of the eyes, the lust of the ears, and the pride of life.
Many are departed from the real faith and have gone a whoring
after strange flesh and perversion of worshiping devils. Bringing upon themselves a certain fearful looking for of judgement. Knowing that they that do iniquity and those who have pleasure in the same that do them, shall not inherit eternal life. But rather, tribulation and anguish of soul. Weeping and gnashing of teeth when they shall see Him, JESUS, whom they have pierced with their cruel mockings and rage.

“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.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭2:4-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬


EKKLESIA 120




"He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision"

“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.”   (Hebrews‬ ‭3:1-19‬ ‭KJV)

This is the hour of temptation which has come upon the whole world.
THE GODLY MAN PERISHETH AND THE FAITHFUL FAIL AMONG THE CHILDREN OF MEN. Few seek the LORD and the kingdom of heaven. These are the end time days of provocation.
The commandments of God are ABHORRANT to the nations who have changed the Truth into a lie.
Ungodly men and women opposing the Holy One. Leaders have counseled together and risen up against the Christ of God. Blaspheming and profaning his name. But the LORD laughs at them for he know their end. WHERE THE WORM DIETH NOT AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.

“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 ‭2:1-12‬ ‭KJV‬‬)


EKKLESIA 81

God sees the travail and languishing of souls.

The whole world lies in wickedness. There is no fear of God. Although tribulation and trials of faith purge the branches abiding in Christ who counsels us to buy of Him gold tried in the fire, that the remnant church might be clothed in white garments unspotted by the corruption that is in the world through lusts. We know that the Spirit spoke through the holy apostle that in the last days some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of Devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy. Here in America every state and city within has given itself over to uncleanness and POLUTIONS of idolatry.
The LORD has a controversy with the land because of lying and swearing, adultery and fornication, and the shedding of innocent blood. There is no discernment of good from the evil, because men abhor the word of righteousness and have forsaken the commandments of the Lord. The heathen rage and the leaders of nations have counseled together to rise up and oppose the Christ of God. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, 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.”
‭‭(Jude‬ ‭1:14-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬).

PEACE, ONLY IN CHRIST.

"As the sting of a scorpion, conviction of sin pains the flesh."

“Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep,
and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.”
‭‭(Ezekiel‬ ‭34:10-12‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

We are witnesses of the falling away. The departing from the faith.

“All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.”
‭‭(Zechariah‬ ‭12:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

Scattered and battered. Left bleeding and tattered.

“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.”
(‭‭Micah‬ ‭7:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

“For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind,
to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh:
and the slain of the Lord shall be many." (Isaiah 66:15,16)

As the sting of a scorpion, the conviction of sin pains the flesh.

“And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.”
‭‭(Revelation‬ ‭9:1-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬)
