Entry #6
I’d like to digress for a second and give an example of walking in the spirit and the truth…
In the Union Tribune Sat. may 9th, 2009 edition, feature editorial writer Chris Reed’s opinion of Americas finest blog, He mentions the “appalling inexplicability of Oprah Winfrey’s actions of allowing the “ranting” of show biz nit wit Jenny McCarthy to continue her “quest” on her show; being as how “innocent” kids could die!
We know where you stand Chris, keep on with your quest of informing your readers with the news on Oprah…to me, I think the public eye should approve of the private eye on the stage of life. It shows a noble and blessed result of a caring heart, yet still, a heart that can see this, would be blessed to see the right to judge from oneself, that such an incident of action can happen a possible two ways at oblique angles, that could be seen as having a better way to be: That of, we all have a child in us and we all need to learn from our mistakes no matter how much responsibility has attached to us! Let’s learn to look at the big picture…It’s really a better picture.

Oprah? Have you been listening with your ears on? An “unflattering” picture has been expressed concerning you. You can try to ignore Mr. Chris Reed, Feature Editorial writer at the Union Tribune newspaper and blog site; chris.reed@uniontribune.com which would signify a larger than expected problem in you personal life,
Knowing what people are saying about your actions, and forming an answering opinion within your own mind, or in the company of friends who hear’s all the “How dare He’s.” is normal.
But clearly all he’s doing is giving you a “wake-up” call. Much like we are given
in the bible, to wake up from our slumber in the walk with our dear Lord Jesus.
Perhaps Mr. Chris Reed would agree with me that you could benefit from hiring a public relations expert…Right? Well maybe a little, one that can make the announcement that Oprah has moved to repair what needs to be repaired!

Oprah, Mr. Reed is hoping you will re-evaluate your past actions so as to gain awareness of a better way to be, since your actions have been “inexplicable” to him.
Either fix it or explain it! Here’s the thing: if your actions “appear” to someone else as “unloving (and these do because some child may get hurt,) then you need to either fix it or explain the more important need for the Love of God to be exposed.

If you are unable to use the words of the “Hidden Wisdom” of Christ Jesus to champion your actions in an explanation to Mr. Reed, and possibly to all of his fans/readers who agree with him, then I can only say, I hope you will become a devoted follower of my sharing of the doctrine teaching “The Way” in this blog as I share it with my readers.

Dear readers, it is my hope that my blog comforts, strengthens, and encourages you to step true to the Lord our God and savior, Jesus Christ.

I’m just a poor, white, homeless, senior citizen that grew up making more than my share of the mistakes in life. Then I found God and Jesus and the Holy Spirits gift of salvation and oneness with God was given to me. Then later, about 6 months, I was lying down in my jail cell reading the Bible that my spiritual sister Wilma Walsh of “Willi of Calif.” gave to me to read and as I read this certain bible verse I received the gift of prophecy.

I read this verse and all of a sudden something “real” clicked off of my eyes and fell onto my bed with a “thump”. I was quite astonished and yet, saw nothing on my bed. But when I began to read the bible again, the last verse I read, being re-read to continue on, had a new and different meaning than the one I was given, in church and by certain pastors. I now saw what it truly meant. From that day on in 1980, it took over 26 more years for the message of understanding in the spirit of truth to come into focus and I was set free when it did.

Can a dog return to his vomit? Sure, but I’ve 26 years under the belt of truth, and love to stand on. I believe in it without question and I choose to live in “The Way, the truth and the life” in Christ Jesus. And having matured, as I shall continue to grow, I can share it with you.

Oprah, here’s another article for you from my book: “The Authorized Book of Short Christian Stories” It is meant to give women a wake-up call and arouse with-in them the desire to seek out the true teaching from a true prophet. I hope you like it…you can get the book at: http://www.amazon.com/products/dp/1442145137/ Or you can get my earlier book: “God’s Prisoner” at: http://www.amazon.com/products/dp/144044031X
I caution you on reading “God’s Prisoner” even though it’s bound to become a classic, because it is a HARD REALITY CHECK using the fictional character of a born-again ex-felon as the good guy. This book is not for the squeamish!

Till next time, take care. J.J.



“IN RELATION”
From
"Works by J.J."

“The head of woman is man and the head
Of man is Jesus Christ.”
(I Cor. 11:3)


This is scriptural, but let me tell you something; although true when all things are spiritually defined, things haven’t been spiritually defined for ages!
A possible mention of this spiritual condition spoken of in the bible, is found in Acts 16:14-15…A certain woman named Lydia, whose heart the Lord opened, so that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul; And in answer to the apostle’s need of lodging was able to constrain him, and his group, to stay at her home by facing them with the wisdom of the spirit, saying, “If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there.”
The depths of meaning here is huge, but let’s give it a brief reality…Lydia was of a MEEK spirit, capable of being taught the way of God, and accepting it in her life.
In its wisdom she was able to shrug off the worldly expectation of virtue that would never permit a man to sleep under her roof unless it be in matrimony. Instead, her virtue was cherished in the love of the Lord to offer unto a servant of the Lord the needed comforts. Thus providing more than lip service to the verse: “But speaking the truth in love, {that we} may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” Eph. 4: 11-16.
The problem of this is the men of today are not in tune with the knowledge of the Son of God in the spiritual sense. And because of this, for the women of today to be MEEK in her submission to man is a gross error of judgment!
I should also draw your attention to the false wisdom of certain men, who prey on the woman’s inner need to find a man of truth, love and wisdom. (Warned of in the bible.)
Those false men who talk of “observations” and “human reactions”, mixed with biblical record, (such as the verse we opened up with,) all just to “appear” wise and knowing; but who’s solutions leave you feeling insecure and confused, in which, you gladly give up your individuality and independence, to let him be your guide and your conscience.
From such a player, who laughs when you laugh and is manipulative in his comments and sexual innuendos…RUN FROM HIM! You are better off being alone and lonely than in his clutches!
So; In relation to the truth, where does the woman turn to for her words of knowledge and guidance into the understanding of the things of God and of life?
Rarely in the church. With over 34,000 different doctrines being given in the churches, the evidence is clear: you won’t hear the answers there! And yet, you will find it written there!
The Bible! In it you can be enabled to see the straight of it all. Go back to Eph. 4: 11-16 and read the earlier verses… “And He (God) gave some, apostles, and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love…”
It’s in there! The task is, how do we get it out? First, let me say this: it’s not mans fault that he has failed to come into “The unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God;” considering verses found in Isaiah 30: 20, 21 and Jeremiah 3:15 we seem to see that God purposely hid the teachers that are to teach us how to walk in “The Way” so that they can make their appearance in these end-times! We are not to question God’s reason for doing this, but the reason is clear to one who knows of the way. That reason is: because discipling is more time consuming than converting.
The beauty of the way is it does not require understanding to be saved. That is given when God weights the heart and tries its reins and finds the sincere heart. The discerned understanding that we are told to find follows as we walk in the way. But mostly it’s prevented by satans confused teachings of false doctrines that only serve to satisfy our itchy ears.
Yet, the gospel is preached and it retains the power to reach into our hearts and cause us to identify the true longing of our hearts.
Because of this and God's promise found in Romans 10:9-10; churches have given birth to many more born-again Christians than would have been made possible if our time was spent on discipling rather than conversions, and satan would have quickly debased all the world, bringing us to an end that much sooner.
With this now in mind, read Isaiah 30:20-21 and see that the teachers will soon be revealed, even now, that are to teach us How to walk in The Way. Which is the same as saying: How to walk in the spirit of Christ Jesus; for Jesus is: “the way, the truth and the life”.
It needs now to be said, how we walk in Christ, having his thoughts, will and emotions become ours in faith and in knowledge.
If you were to witness the person given to teach "The Way" will you be MEEK and learn from him? That is the question you must ask yourself.
Space and time prohibits this sharing now. But should you request to hear a prophet's word and receive him you shall receive a prophet's reward; (Matthew 10:41) you will grow in the fruits of the spirit; (Galatians 5:22) you will be sure and certain of your calling and election; (II Peter 1:3-11) you will have a closer relationship with your heavenly Father; (Ephesians 4:17-19) All of which makes for a stronger marriage and personal relationship.
It is important that women learn "The Way", men are meant to teach it but aren't. Women who learn it can influence the men of the world to begin to learn it. Let the unity begin!!
Behind every good man is a good woman! The growth of a man's strength of understanding and compassion, Joined with an "Understanding" woman's strength of emotion and commitment- makes for a better world with Jesus at the helm! Now in love and truth, Then in person!
No longer will the deceitful be able to confuse you and mislead you. And when satan appears as an "angel of righteousness" to lead the world into captivity, every follower of The Way will know he's a fake! How? Simple! He is a liar! The father of lies, and there is no truth in him. But Jesus is the man of truth! His Way teaches us to be men and women of truth. Knowing God's love! Acknowledging his Truth.
Satan will tell you to love God, Be at peace with all men, repent and be baptized...BUT He won't show you how!! His way will have the blind leading the blind! We already have over 34,000 churches doing that! (According to the World Christian Encyclopedia.)
The true teachers will say: "This is the way, walk in it." A very simple way it is too! "learn from me." saith the lord. "for my yoke is light and easy to carry."
Walk in the way and the light in the scriptures will come alive for you. I pray you will seek out a true teacher of the way. Chances are he will be a man, capable of teaching the MEEK. In Him, J.J.



(a word from the author: If you read this and feel it is true but incomplete, you would be right. It was originally written for a woman's magazine with the purpose of giving them a wake up call in the hope they would want to hear more on "The Way". If you want to hear more of "The Way", you need but go to it as the first of these articles on this authors web page.)

Intermission

Say friends,


Because I hope to share the good news of the Bible does not mean I can't share the good news of having a supporter. Expences being hard and heavy, when I can get someone to help support me by your request for their help, telling them that J.J. sent you, then we create a bond. Hopefully someday bigger things will be done and you might get to benefit from it too. That is my hope, along with joining together with my brother's and sisters in Christ Jesus.

I'm looking for some followers that can grow in the faith such that I know they are true to the brotherhood of Christ; and once known entreat them to join with me to make it better all around including with them.

1.) Charitynetusa.com/blog :
If you need to start a business and want to incorporate as a non-profit org., then contact this place or call 1-407-857-9002 and go to extention 120 Tell Myna Averio that J.J. sent you and if you avail yourself of their services I'll make a small amount that will help especially if others are added in on this page and called upon also.
2.) Centre City sports:
A rare place to buy all the sports memoribilia you need, and next door his brother runs an awesome music store. These are good people. I use to have a post box with them, as they rented them out; and I went away, involuntarily, and while I was unable to pay for my mail, they were good to hold it for me for when I could pick it up. Because of that I hope they are ever successful in life. They are located on 6th street between "c" st. and Broadway in San Diego. Tell them J.J. sent you. (The big tall red headed guy.) smile.

Entry #5


Before I get going on this new entry to my continuing blog, I would like to extend an open invitation to anyone out there reading my blog a chance to have your pressing questions answered on matters of the Christian faith. So feel free to ask me that question that you have bugging you to no end and the churches can’t seem to answer to your satisfaction, and I will give it my best shot

In entry number 4 you were given the practical exercise of asking yourself what the reasons were for doing what you no longer wish to do. The bible says that if we do what we don’t want to do, that it is no longer us doing it but sin that does it which liveth in me. Here’s what that means:
The word sin has two meanings: 1.) Missing the mark. 2.) Falling short of the mark.
When we are sinners not yet saved by the new birth of God’s Holy Spirit, we are considered “missing the mark.” The mark of spiritual perfection. Yet when we are born-again and our natural spirit is transformed by God’s Holy Spirit we are now perfect in spirit because it is now God’s spirit that lives in us urging us to do what is good and pleasing in God’s sight. This urging comes in the form of experiencing pleasure and joy in that which is good. (Of God.) “Only God is good.”

Thus God is in all things good and pleasing to our soul, which is now the unity of God’s spirit and our body. Only the problem is we still have the yearnings of a sinful body, supported by the mind conditioned to living in sinful practices. Hence, though we now want to live at the urging of God’s spirit we still want to enjoy the pleasures, riches and/ or worries of sin; wherein the bible tells us that our flesh is at war with the spirit.

Now understand this…when we try to resist sin by stopping it, we will soon fall back into it because we haven’t learned to see and submit to God’s loving and truthful alternatives to the reasons we have for why we choose to sin. To resist sin, to try and do the good that any book says we need to do, and that includes the Bible, is all the sin that falls short of the mark. Since most misunderstand the bible anyway.

The reason is, because we haven’t searched our own minds excuses for doing sin and thus haven’t found God’s loving and truthful alternatives to those reasons so that we can choose to submit to God’s way instead of our own way of resisting from sheer willpower.
We have not yet been, “transformed by the renewing of our mind.”

Now understand this: Most Important!!! Would you rather “submit” to the way of love and truth found as the alternative choices available for your reason for committing sins? Or “submit” to doing what any book tells you to do; even if the book is the Bible?

Do you see the difference? To do what the bible says to do is an impersonal submission that has no understanding of the reasons why you sin, other than they are carnal in nature. God is still: Out there watching over you.

On the other hand to “submit” to the revealed loving and truthful alternatives that you found in your questioning of repentance to your reasons for sin makes it personal. God is found within you in “increasing measure” as you do the loving and truthful ways that have always been there, for you to find and rejoice in submitting to. Now you are being transformed! Where in submission through resistance you are just learning to be stubbornly blind and ignorant. And doomed to failure because when you are weakest, the sin will re-surface. All you did was bury it under the strength of your will power.

If you can see this MAJOR difference then you can also see that the best teaching is that which teaches us how to overcome sin by transformation rather than by blind faith.

Blind faith is what you learn in church, not what you learn in the bible. Yet if you do not establish your walk in “The Way” of repentance and transformation you will not know how to see the lie of the church’s teachings. Nor will you be able to help your brother “cast the speck out of his eye.”

The churches preach from the bible but they misinterpret it. Some twist it so bad that it is easy to see their cults doctrine. Others are more subtle and use a lot of stories and a lot of oratory to arouse your emotion and blind you to accepting their doctrine which supports blind faith, blind obedience, love from human effort, an empty hope based on an empty grave, and a false repentance that is more of a confession than true repentance. The six key concepts that the churches of the world are mis-teaching you today!

Don’t worry about that, believe it or not all of their false teachings will serve to prove to you the one truth that they don’t teach. Just remember the joy of understanding you felt when you first saw the way of transformation. Remember that and move to continue in your own personal transformation. Write it down! “Why do I do the wrong I don’t want to do?” Find your answers, then make those answers into questions too and answer them…on paper! Example: “Why do I drink so much?” (Possible answer: “I drink to be bold.”) “Why do I need to be bold?” “Because I’m lonely.” “Why am I lonely?” “I have no lover.” “What’s stopping me from having one?”
Do you see how transformation happens? The answers reveal where you can choose to change, whether it be by changing a personal characteristic developed through misunderstanding…Are you really so unlovable? Or are you believing a lie that someone gave to you? Do you need a better paying job or need to lose weight or change something about yourself?

Through all of the growing in self awareness is the growing of loving responses that we choose to do when we can, until they are a part of us and we learn to love even when we think we have no one to love. We soon see how it is that we come to know God’s love and become able to believe in Jesus who made it possible for us to know Gods love. (Luke 10:22, John 17:25-26).

Read these verses and SEE its God’s love that Jesus reveals to us. SEE that we don’t see Jesus but we see God (by His Love) through Jesus. OUR FAITH TO BELIEVE IS ESTABLISHED!!!

This is scriptural…James 4:1-8 begins… “What causes fights and quarrels amongst you? Do they not come from the desires that rage within? You want something but don’t get it, you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God, and when you do ask, you ask amiss so that you may spend what you get on your PLEASURES…”

And in Luke chapter 8 Jesus tells us that it is the lust for the WORRIES, RICHES, AND/OR PLEASURES that keep us from becoming mature.

That’s what I just taught you about in the bible: How to overcome the worries, riches and/or pleasures of our sinful desires.

When you see why you do your sin, know the reasons/motives for why you do them, then God can give you the gift of the Holy Spirit so you can choose to acknowledge the Truth in your desire to accept the responsibility for living in Love and Truth as your chosen way of wanting to live like and in! You will then easily be able to accept the scriptural truth taught by Jesus and his apostles: “First, cast the plank out of your own eye, and then, you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

You will be speaking from experience, from a possibly born-again viewpoint of understanding of the same way you learned to question the motive of your sin that you don’t like to do… “The good I want to do, I do not do, but the bad I don’t want to do I do! What a wretched man I am; who will rescue me from this body of death…”

Who? Jesus will rescue us. How? By revealing the increase of God’s love as we look for the reasons and look intently for the perfect low of love in the alternatives! See them? Choose to do them until they become a part of you. Transformed by the renewing of your mind! Renewed in spirit, renewed in understanding, knowing beyond any doubt that it is a universal truth that we can all “REPENT” and choose to find the love of God that has always been there just beneath the vain, boastful, envious, rude, self-seeking self! Renewed in confidence, renewed in attitude and assurance, renewed in ever increasing love! You have become one of God’s chosen yet that’s just the icing on the cake. The part I like is that you get to walk with God in the present in increasing measure till the full part measure of our faith is matched; until we know it in the fullness of Christ Jesus.

Is that all there is? No! Not by a long shot. There’s more to come. Till next time…

In Him,
J.J.

Entry #4

12,000 furlongs each in width, length and height। One furlong equals 220 yards, or 660 feet। One eighth of a mile।

12,000 equals 1,500 miles, equals 22,500 square miles (times) 12 equals 270,000 square miles or comparable to the size of the state of Texas।

It is said that the entire world population can fit in the state of Florida and Florida can fit in Texas about 4 ½ times.

Yet in the book of Revelations, we read that over 2/3’s of the world population will die during the trials and tribulation period yet to come. And of that even fewer will go to heaven because many will receive the “Mark of the Beast”.

Hence, the Texas size city of Heaven called: “New Jerusalem” will be plenty big for all of the born-again Christians living there.

Will you be there? Or will you perish in the times ahead? Or should you survive the tribulation period will you be cast off because you received the mark of the beast?

What is this Mark? It’s not clear what it is. Some churches think it’s the sign of when we worship God. Any day that is NOT a Saturday Sabbath! Some think the mark is an implantable chip that does away with the use of money. I don’t know what it is; yet both are plausible. And both are avoidable! “IF” you are prepared to wait out the crucial period of time that the tribulation period will cover, which is believed to be of 3 ½ years.

Three and one half years and in that time over 12 times the population of the United States will die worldwide! That’s scary!

I’d like to prepare for that time but it would take millions! Do you want to help? Make a donation? I’ll happily accept your gift of a donation to me at PayPal to prophet_JJ@mail.com that’s up to you; I hope you do, but understand…your money won’t buy you a pass into heaven! Only by being Born-Again of God’s Holy Spirit will guarantee your entrance into heaven.

Many churches have two redeeming features…redeeming in my eyes, They: 1.) preached the bible; making it available to the masses. 2.) And they led an “Altar Call”. That won’t save them from the judgment to come; only being born-again will save them. But if you are being called of God and you walk the Altar Call and per chance receive The Spirit of God, then all is good. Yet if you haven’t received the Holy Spirit of God for your Salvation, or if you have, you BOTH need to know “The Way” of God’s doctrine.

That’s the beauty of “The Way”, to the unsaved, it is the way of instruction that leads to salvation; and for the saved, it is the way of instruction that increases our ability to walk in and know the Lord God as a personal God and The Lord Jesus as our savior.

What does that mean to you and me? It means that we can be confident of going to heaven when the end comes to all things as we know them; it means we get to see life now in its reality; it means we are never alone, God is always with us and his name is Jesus. He’s our Lord, our savior, our friend and our brother.

He answers our prayers, gives us healing, and strengthens us, comforts us, encourages us. He makes us creative, his love becomes our love and our eternal future is secured in him.

Listen to me!! I’m talking to all of you reading this blog, and to all of you that ought to read this blog…Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, your wife’s and families; the Copeland’s, the Hagan’s, the Dollar’s, the Meyer’s, the Hicks…every church congregation, church leader even every person not in church or in a non-christian church…all of this blog is meant for you to read so as to come into the understanding of the love and truth of The Word: God the Father, and The Word: God the Son.

I’ve read your books and articles and I’ve seen your need for this word I am sharing.

OUCH!!! My head must be so swollen with ego…Heh? Not really. I speak from knowledge of spiritual strength and I know many of you will laugh it off and go on your merry way. Yet for those of you that take it serious, a time will come that you will complain that: “I can’t see through your eyes!” and your frustration will overwhelm you. STOP!!!

Don’t let it get you down! All you have to do is take baby steps of walking in “The Way” of God’s Love and Truth. Just pick that one MAJOR problem in your life you would like to overcome and forget about the others; you can work on them later on. FOR NOW: take that one problem and begin working on it. On paper write it down and ask yourself, (on paper) “Why do I do this _____What? Write it down! Then begin to answer it with all the answers you can think of.

If you find yourself blaming someone else go back and erase that answer; that is not the answers you need. Look to only the answers that make you responsible…for accepting, for believing, for assuming, for choosing, for concluding.

Behind all of those reasons/excuses are loving and truthful alternatives that you can CHOOSE to do instead. CHOOSE to believe in instead.

Here’s your guideline to follow: “Love does no harm to its neighbor.” And “Truth applies to everybody equally.”

If your alternative answers only serve your interests then they are not the right way of Love and Truth. “Look intently into the perfect law of Love.” You will get the hang of it; it takes time and patience. But mostly it takes determination to find and to do.

Let’s stop for now. Till next time.
In Him,
J.J.

Entry #3
Hello again,
After reading that last entry I probably secured the wrath of all of the fundamental churches out there.

The churches are all the same when it comes to putting down their doctrine teaching…Testy! Try it sometime with a Jehovah’s Witness, they will not even deign to talk to you . “You have your belief and I have mine!” They say, all of them, not just the JW’s.

In chapter 16 verses 2 and 3 in the book of John the apostle, Jesus says that the churches. (although he calls them synagogues,) will kill the true Christians, thinking that they are doing God a favor. And what favor is that? Why, they are killing all of the heretics who don’t believe as they believe!

History repeats itself once again and the Catholic sponsored crusades will once again strike down the believers that don’t believe as they do. The “Blue Laws” will once again be in effect.

The first to be attacked will probably be the Muslims who worship on a Friday, then the churches that worship on the Saturday Sabbath; both in violation to the Catholic’s day of worship on Sunday.

Now what does all of this have to do with the price of tomatoes in Alaska? Nothing! It’s just some of the interesting facts that those that are doing, refuse to admit; and those that are witness to, refuse to acknowledge.

Did you know that according to a psychological study done recently, it stated that the odds are 9-to-1 against changing someone’s belief, even if you can prove their belief wrong!!
Paul says he is often hindered in his travels because of the peoples beliefs saying, “lest he builds on someone else’s foundation.” (Rom. 15:20-22)

It takes time to set a person on the one true foundation established by God in Christ Jesus. Everyone is blessed if they are “Meek” (teachable), but few are meek to a teaching contrary to their accepted belief.

Here’s the rub, you are probably thinking like the song that says: “you can’t even run your own life I’ll be damned if you’ll run mine…” Heh!!! I know exactly what you mean. I’d hate to have someone tell me, “You need to change your life and I can tell you how to do it right.”

Just who the hell does this guy think he is anyway? Alright, we both know that no one is going to change my life except me! The mistakes we make serve to teach us what we need and “I” don’t need some “Christian Guru Busybody” telling me what to do. And that’s that!

And I agree. 100%. Only, I’m not a christian guru busybody. I’m a person gifted with the gift of prophecy that took me 26 years to learn, of the message in understanding that, when it finally came into focus as a doctrine of God, I found that it comforts, strengthens and encourages us If we accept it.

I lived it, I know who needs it, (everyone!) and I have learned how to share it so they will get it. But I can’t make you change. That’s your job. I’m only telling you that if you have a problem in your life that you WANT to get rid of and find that you can’t get rid of it, then, all I am saying is give the true teaching of the gospel a chance to do it’s magic. It works and the benefits are enormously beneficial in this life and in the life to come in the kingdom of heaven. And you will learn to believe in heaven even if you think it’s a bit wishy-washy now.

Scripture seems to tell us that we have approximately 41.6 years to find enlightenment; it took me about 26 years to find it; but you should take less because you have some one here to share the teaching with you, but you have to want it. You have to want to change your life for the better.

Shia, you can fill that “God size hole” in you with a God size answer that puts the whole of life into perspective that is a pleasure to behold or you will continue to throw empty boxes of confusion into it and soon discover the boxes weren’t so empty after all and your even more confused.

The big name preachers are out there; everyone of them would like to take credit for being the preacher that brought you to God…Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland and wife, Kenneth Hagen and wife, Crefloe Dollar and wife, Billy Graham and wife, on and on and on…and not one of them will tell you “The Way” of God and Jesus, his apostles, and those of us that know to love him, like I am sharing with you right now.

Let me give you another article to start you on The Way. Make a hard copy of this and read it, read it often. All the other articles will be in compliment to it. I hope you like it, it took me over 25 years to write it.

“And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, “this is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” (Isa. 30:20-21)

I believe this is an end-time prophesy. Continue reading on to verse 26 to see this is to happen: “in that day,” which along with the phrase: “in those days” is almost always a reference to the end-times.

Could verse 25 referring to: “the great slaughter when the towers fall…” be talking about the twin towers of 9/11 infamy? And has verse 26 happened yet? I dare say, NOT! Perhaps it’s a duel prophecy, that happened then, and will happen again now?
So then, what is this: “The Way?” I believe it is a spiritually understood message that teaches us how to give our whole heart and soul to the walking in the truth and spirit of God.

It is a message hidden in the gospel that is revealed to apostles and prophet’s, (Eph. 3:1-7), and those that love God, (I Cor. 2: 6-10) However, of those that love God, it must be understood that the love for God we are to express is the “Agape” love He reveals to us as we walk in its spiritual enlightenment, and not the love we imagine, Eros – phileo – storge – or Epithurmia; with our emotions.

Read with me John 4: 23-24 “…But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth: For the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

Do you find it curious that Jesus would say such a thing: “the hour cometh and now is…” Why not just say, ‘The time has come?’

I believe the reasoning is clear, the teaching of the way started with Jesus and the apostles, but the prophets, or ‘teachers,’ were being held back till these end-times. Thus the hour [that] cometh, is referring to these end-times, while the hour that now is, is referring to Jesus and the apostles time.

“Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ. Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the spirit…”

Continued reading in these two remarkable chapters in Ephesians chapter 3 & 4 tells us that this message of understanding found in the mystery of Christ is a message of “fellowship,” that, according to verses 4: 11-16, it is given to bring us into: “a unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God!” Amen!

But have we come into this unity yet? There is a false attempt to unify the churches, (the organizations of man’s invention), orchestrated by the Catholic Church, but its unity is not in “the mind of Christ” where true faith is known, but its unity is simply in the profession of belief in Jesus.

Of the majority of the over 34,000 different Christian doctrine teaching churches, we have that unity already, but of the one doctrine known as “The Way” there is no unity of understanding. Men are still being deceived by the craftiness of Man’s teaching.

A reason many churches today don’t accept any different teaching purportedly from a prophet, is because many churches do not even believe prophets exist any longer. They quote I Cor. 13: 8-10 and say: “that which is perfect,”is the King James canonized Bible. And if you point to chapter 14 verses 1 & 22, as saying desire the gift of prophesy because prophesy is for believers; then they come back at you and say: ‘the letter to the Corinthians is not written for us today, but to the Corinthians back then, and while some of it is useful today, most of it isn’t.’

Wow! I just read out Chapter One vs. 2 to them and say: “Your lost buddy!” Read it:
“Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.”

It speaks clearly, the letter to the Corinthians is also a letter to us!!

It’s obvious that satan has attempted to corrupt the Bible and its believers. He’s been successful with both to some degree. But the time cometh – these end-times, when the teachers of “The Way” are being revealed. Why, you may wonder, did God hide the teachers of the way? Wouldn’t they have prevented so much corruption?

The answer can be found when we consider the ministry of Jesus. His ministry was to the Jews only! Why? (Acts 13: 46-48 tells us why.)

His purpose and message was to fulfill the 10 commandments; a message that caused the Jews to believe he blasphemed. Yet in truth he taught a deeper message of understanding. Had he gone to the gentiles they would have gladly enjoyed his power and miracles, but his message would not have been understood. The gentiles did not give reverence to the Law of Moses, and certainly would have had no reason to crucify Jesus, which was necessary for the anointing of the New Covenant.

For this same reason is the message of “The Way” given unto the Christian churches of today. It is a message of deeper understanding in the “Fellowship” we can have with God, found in the “unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God.” Yet because it is “spiritually” discerned, which only Born-again Christians are, “We” are the only ones able to come into the discerned understanding. Yet, this discerned message will be very difficult for most of the churches to grasp and accept because of the many blind faiths that they have already accepted in blind ignorance. Most of the churches don’t want a deeper understanding that goes against what they teach.

The good news is, it’s a covenant that Jesus ushered in, and I don’t have to spill my blood to make it a valid Testament. But the bad news is, I probably will spill my blood over it because of the anger of the many fanatical Christians, (whether truly born-again or not) who will believe that by killing me they will be doing God’s will. Even as the Jews did! (John 15: 20, 16:2)

Read Colossians 1: 9-13, “…that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding…that you might walk worthy of the Lord…increasing in the knowledge of God…giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light…and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”

I can’t prove it to you, but like God did with Isaiah in1:18, and Paul did with king Felix in Acts 24: 25, I can make a “reasonable” argument to make you see that the way is true. And, if in the reasoning of scriptures I am able to get one of you to acknowledge and accept this message so that you –move: To put your feet firmly onto the ‘path of understanding,’ so as to establish it for yourself; then I thank you for the opportunity and for helping me cover over a multitude of sins. (James 5: 19-20)

It’s a clue brothers!! If one sin brought all this death into the world, then the difficulty of the task that would remove a multitude of sins, must be no easy task….

In fact, a recent ‘Science of the Mind’ journal stated, that the odds of changing a persons already accepted beliefs are 9 to 1 against being successful, even, if you can prove them wrong in their belief.

Yet, Matthew 10: 41 says: “He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward.” What is a prophet’s reward? It’s a confident understanding of the faith to believe in Jesus, while walking in the spirit of God’s love and truth.

In the churches of today most Christians have a blind faith. They do not know how to develop a personal relationship with God. They do not know the true meaning and application of the six key concepts of the gospel: Faith, Believe, Hope, Obedience, Repentance, and Love. Once learning those, they still need to grow “determinedly” true to their calling. (See Jude 3)

How many of us have resisted sin to the point of shedding our blood? How many have agonized in our resistance to sin? To fail and fall into wretched despair? To then pick yourself up to strive a little farther, to gain a little more insight? To walk a path that most don’t even know exists?

Let’s look at your doctrines…How many teach that II Tim. 2:15 means to ‘study your bible to know when it’s taken out of context?’ It doesn’t! How many teach that Mark 10:15 means, that like a child trustingly receives a gift from its loving parents; we too must trustingly receive the gift of salvation from Jesus? Your wrong! How many say we are not suppose to judge others?
Missed. that one too. How about Romans 10:17 says ‘faith comes from hearing the word of God?’ Nope, wrong again. How about, repentance means to turn away from your sin 180º and turn to God in prayer or as you find him in the Bible? That faith must be acted upon by belief to become real…that hope is in an empty grave from which Jesus rose…that walking in love means stopping the wrong you do and show love instead??? Get any of those right? Did you say yes to those? They are all No!!

How about this one: we can not prove there is a God? Did you say yes? Wrong! We can. Did you say we can? Then tell me how! That’s the teaching of “The Way” and it will tie up every one of these questions you missed into one clear concept of understanding.

Have you ever heard of the phrase: W.W.J.D. (WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?) Is that a good phrase? Nope, it’s not.

There’s Billy Graham, Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, Pat Robertson, Creflo A. Dollar, Merlin Coruthers, Robert Falwell, Robert Schuller, Joyce Myers….are any of them teaching “The Way” as this article does? Nope. Not a one. Every preacher I’ve ever heard or read of has not been seen to be teaching “The Way” as you will see me do in this article. None of them know it.

Listen to Paul in I Cor. 1:10 “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.” Are ‘they’ saying the same thing? Do you see that in the Christian churches of today?

Maybe a little bit in one denomination, but the rest of the world sees even that teaching as being wrong. What is the hidden wisdom spoken of among the mature in Christ? As referred to in I Cor. 2: all? And NO! Mr. Creflo A. Dollar, it’s not the gift of tongues as you so proclaimed in your telecast.

Can you, dear reader, admit you don’t know? Can you admit that even your favorite pastor/ evangelist hasn’t taught you how to know for yourself: the wisdom of this knowledge? How to have the one mind of Christ? Can you let loose of your churches doctrine, so as to consider the reasoning of the teaching in The Way? 9-to-1!!! Says NOT.

Ask yourself right now, “If I let go of all that I’ve been taught in church, what do I have left over to hold onto?? How confident am I in this?

Jesus says: “In every season have a reason for your hope.” I ask you, “Why do you believe in Jesus?”

There are only three answers. Number one: ‘I believe by faith.’ This answer tells me you aren’t ready for the truth. You are still holding on to your churches doctrine. It’s a vague answer, and if told to a non-believer, would have no value to them. It would require you to explain faith, and in “The Way”, repentance comes before faith.

Jesus’ first words were: “repent and believe the good news.” Faith is a fruit of the spirit, and the Holy Spirit is the gift of repentance.
Number two: I believe because I’ve repented and proven that God is not a liar, so when he says that Jesus and the Father are one, I know he is being truthful and I believe him. (see John 3: 31-36) This is the correct response. It opens the door to sharing the doctrine of repentance. Not as the churches teach, but as the Bible teaches.

The third answer is: I believe because I have received the Holy Spirit. This answer is half right. The Holy Spirit is given to lead us to the acknowledging of the truth in/of Jesus. (II Tim. 2:25-26). Jesus is the truth, and when we repent unto the acknowledging – (spiritually discerned recognition) of the truth revealed by the Holy Spirit, we can then say we have a reason to believe in Jesus. But jumping from receiving the Holy Spirit to instant belief in Jesus is a blind admission. Faith is established through the love found in the acknowledgement of truth. (see proverbs 24:3-4, Galatians 5:6).

I pity those with the kind of faith depicted by their answer of number three. They know they are saved, yet have not yet established their understanding of The Way, and do not grow into the knowledge of God’s Righteousness which allows us to receive his abundant promises…(see II Pet. 1: 3-11).Quite possibly many of those who gave answer to number one are of this faith; but are so caught up in their churches teaching they could only give a vague scriptural response. And sadly, many of the first response are not even saved. They just think they are because they were mis-taught the meaning of Romans 10: 9,10 and 13 to mean that a sincere confession of faith makes one a child of faith. It does, but how do we know we are sincere in our hearts? “mans heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it?” (Jer. 17:9)

Only God can know it. Not us. God also looks to see if we are fully prepared. He uses the parable of the two kings who go to war.

The king only half prepared lost the war. But Jesus says: “Not one that the Father has given me has been lost.” Hence God also determines our preparedness. This is why he gives us the promise of John 3: 19-21.

Too many people are letting the churches interpret the bible for them. A good example is found in Mark 10:15; “Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, * he shall not enter therein.”

Do you see that asterisk? At that place in a bible put out by the Billy Graham Association, he inserts a parenthesis and adds: (like a little child trustingly receives a gift). But why choose a positive quality of a child? Some children are petulant, and pout and throw temper tantrums to get what they want. I believe this goes deeper, back before the child even knows who God is, but knows of him in their innocence. Hence if we repent of our sins until our conscience is clear, then we will know the innocence of a child and know God firsthand.

Now let’s look at repentance. But first take a break….go on get up and stretch…

Are you back? Okay…most churches teach repentance is turning away from your sin, 180º . But that’s the Old Testaments way of repentance. The old covenant of the 10 Commandments have been replaced with the new covenant of Jesus and a new commandment: John 13: 34 says it like this: “A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” For as we see in Romans 13: 8-14, love is the fulfilling of the law.

In the New Covenant we now have the word of God engrafted in our hearts and minds by the Holy Spirit, and through the Holy Spirits guidance we are able to come into acknowledgement of the truth of that engrafted word. (please see pages 24-26 for the example given to Sandy, in my book: God’s Prisoner).

In the Old Testament, that’s all they could do was turn away from sin. In the New Testament we are called to confront sin so that we can reconsider sins motive from a divine viewpoint of thought, will and emotion; and then choose to submit to the way of God in his Agape Love.

That is the meaning of the new word used in the New Testament Greek : ‘metanoeo’. It’s a completely different word than the word used in the Old Testament, yet preachers every where seem to like to use the Old Testament word as found in the book of Isaiah. (please read I Cor. 2:16 in an amplified Bible.)

With knowledge of our need to question our sins motives rather than turning away from even considering them, James in 4:1-8 tells us to ask of ourselves the questions necessary to discover the reasons for the motives we have that desire to experience pleasure. And in 1:13-15 he uses the word: Entice. Which is defined in a dictionary as: seeking to satisfy the desire for riches and/or pleasures. And Jesus, in Luke 8:5-15 adds the third desire of: worries, of the worries, riches and/or pleasures that keep our Fruits from maturing.

Then we are taught in Eph. 4:20-24 to put-off the deceitful desires of our sins, and put-on the revealed alternatives created in ‘true holiness and righteousness’ which is to say: The Mind of Christ Jesus.

In a crude example: who knew that a reason for drinking or drugs was to gratify the desire of a pleasurable sexual relationship? Yet the question remains: Why do I need drugs or booze to obtain this desire? For some reason I, (we) may have learned to fear that we were not able to have such a relationship without the help of the booze or drugs. We need to find the cause of that fear.

“When I was a child I thought like a child, talked like a child, acted like a child. But now I’m a man! I put childish things behind me.” I can’t do it tho’ if I turn away from my sin without even knowing why I do it! Those false faith Christians who say you don’t need to know why are wrong!! You do need to know. Why? Because when you see the truth of why you fear, you will also be given to see and understand that the person who hurt you by laughing at you, is still thought to be laughing at you, and you drink or do drugs to forget it in your current attempts to start a relationship. You are able to understand that, that person is or was immature and you are now able to forgive them. Then and Now!!

Would you let a kid’s laughter at you now as an adult be a reason to get high? Of course you wouldn’t. You would see to be patient, gentle, kind, and understanding, (all Fruits of the spirit) to the kid who is immature acting towards you today. Then, what a joy to know it’s not me, but them! I can now see their immaturity is their handicap. It is the reason for their bitterness and sorrow. And you say to yourself: I can love you now with the compassion of Jesus who said: “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do!” They may say they do, but they don’t because they are not acting in love. “Love does no harm to its neighbor.” They haven’t found the love that repentance reveals in the alternatives to our reasons for sin and becomes the light of the word that we learned to see and submit to.

I didn’t see that wisdom when I was a child and crying. And if I just turn my back on my sin and act loving – and that’s what it is, acting—I’m just being a wolf in sheep’s clothing. And your love becomes imagined love. Not the love we find in the understanding of truth, the love we can easily submit to in our obedience because we now understand the cause of our fear.

When you find this true love and submit to it, and continue to abide in it, it will transform you. It will increase with each measure you find and put-on, (submit to and abide in,) you will be conformed to the mind of Christ.
This is how II Pet. 1:3-11 is done…
This is how Eph. 4: 17-24 is done…
This is how Romans 12: 1-3 is done…
This is how Matthew chapter 7 is done…
This is how Matthew 23: 25-28 is done…
This is how James 4: 1-8 is done…

It all ties together. Now read John 17: 25-26 Jesus reveals the love of God! He does this so that God the Father and himself can both (spirit and truth)make their home in us! Now read Luke 10:22! Jesus is not seen but he reveals the Father to us. How? By his love! Our faith is established in love…(Gal. 5:6).

“Faith [love] is the evidence of things not seen, the substance of things hoped for…” I John 3:2-3 …if our love increases with just the small measure of faith that has been given to us, imagine knowing the fullness of what we will be when we are given to know the fullness of Jesus at his 2nd. Coming. (see I Cor. 13:12)

To the Jews Paul said, “But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in the newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.” (Rom. 7:6) Yet Paul also said it to us; “[God] Who hath made us able ministers of the New Testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” (II Cor. 3:6)

All that turning our back on sin and turning to God in the bible is the same thing as holding to the letter! Jesus said, “You diligently study the scriptures thinking that by them you have eternal life. These are the same scriptures that testify of me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.”niv

We don’t come to him in scripture, or song, or prayer, or fasting; we come to him in repentance.

“The light shines in the darkness but the darkness has not understood it nor overcome it.” As we repent of the darkness, the light of God’s love is seen. Jesus is showing it to us. “The kingdom of heaven is within.” Now you know what that means. “Meekly accept the engrafted word which can save you.” “Repentance leads to salvation and growth in the spirit.”

Another example of false teaching that lives by the letter is II Tim. 2:15. “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman who needeth not to be ashamed, who rightly divides the word of truth.” Where does it say, ‘study the bible?’ It doesn’t. But many churches today interpret it as such because they don’t know How to walk in the spirit and truth of God.

Compare that verse with I John 2:28, “And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.”

This is the same verse. The word study means: “diligently strive” so, to diligently strive to abide means: we repent unto the acknowledging of the truth in love and submit to the trans-forming conformation of becoming one with the mind of Christ. Christian means Christ-like!

Let loose of those things you were taught in church to believe and make room, (John 8:37niv) for the truth. John 7: 14-18 tells us we will learn of God’s way if we become, “men of truth with no unrighteousness in us.” Jesus is our righteousness, as we grow to know his way, we grow to know him! In Gruden’s dictionary the pearl of great price is the message and the person of Jesus.

Truth is covered with a lie; repent to find it! If all you do is read the bibles do’s and don’t do’s and follow them, all you are doing is hurting yourself. But if, while you resist doing the wrongs the bible says don’t do, and at the same time begin your search with repentance, to find the light of God’s love under the darkness of sin’s motive and then submit to that loving response, then, you will be in obedience and grow in your understanding.

Once you are saved, for repentance leads to salvation, continue in your repentance to gain “Godliness”, and in godliness we find the abundant life!

Jesus promises to finish our faith. (Heb. 12:2) So once you begin walking on the road to salvation and gain the gift of repentance: The Holy Spirit, if you were to die before finishing your growth, Jesus will finish it for you in heaven.

An interesting aspect of walking in The Way is; when, in the end-times, the anti-christ appears as an angel of righteousness, telling us to love God, be at peace with all men, repent and believe…you will know he is a fake because he doesn’t tell you how! The Way of repentance is how!!

He can cast out demons to make a show of his powers, but he knows that if you haven’t learned to find the loving and truthful alternatives to your sin, you won’t know how to fill the emptiness, and the demon will come back and bring 7 more demons with it. And you know he won’t tell you how fill yourself with the love and truth of God because he has no truth in himself.

Many Christians are not being obedient to the love beneath the sin, and because of this dis-obedience, even Jesus will become a stumbling block. For Jesus is: “The Way, The Truth and The life.”

I’ve shared the way with many already ‘indoctrinated’ Christians and initially they love the message of understanding, but a few days later they reject it: 9 to 1!! It’s hard to give up a false belief. By rejecting the way, they are rejecting Jesus. If they are born-again, they will be saved as one passing through the flame, but they will suffer loss. (I Cor. 3:10-15)

If you don’t walk in the way you won’t become good teachers of the way. (Matt. 7:3-5, 13:52) for it is the increase of treasures that makes you a good teacher and disciple in Christ.

Teaching will sharpen your ability and exercise your senses to distinguish between good and evil ways. It’s a life long process that stands the best chance of standing strong in the coming tribulation period. And though many churches teach that Christians will be raptured and not face any tribulations; there is no conclusive proof of this teaching. And ample proof that it won’t. It would also necessitate that we reject other verses that seem to say we will suffer tribulations.

You’ve read the New Testament, now set it aside for a while, while you perfect your walking in the way. Then come back to it and see the many verses you didn’t see before. Write your insights down, for re-reading later. Abide in the fruits especially of patience.

Don’t get caught upon the doctrines of men: of baptisms, of tongues, of Sabbath days… the Lord God The Father, wants for us the same thing he did for those of old: To walk in the truth, (in Jesus) with all our heart and soul.

So now you can see why the way was revealed to Christians now, everything I said a Christian would understand. Can you meekly accept it? Are you teachable? We can thank God that understanding is not a prerequisite to salvation. Spiritual growth can take years. Salvation can reach the world faster; Which was necessary before the evil in the world, destroyed the world.

“Prophets are for believers!” (See I Cor. 14:22) If you see the reasoning of all this and believe I’m right, you just can’t go back to the way you use to believe. This is your defining moment.
The End
