FIVE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
SCRIPTURE BASED ASPECTS OF
A BELIEVER’S LIFE THAT,
BECAUSE OF TRADITION, WE DON’T
HEAR CONSISTENTLY TAUGHT IN
TODAY’S DENOMINATIONS.









TO OUR BROTHERS and SISTERS
IN The Body of Christ
“The Church”
Focus on the Holy Spirit
“Believers End Time Strategy” 
Holy Spirit- Why Focus on Him?

He is the Third Entity of the Trinity. He Executes all that Our Father Wills and that Jesus Speaks. He Abides in us after we are born again to teach, nurture, keep us in Perfect Peace, protect, guide us into all truth and take us to Jesus when the rescue takes place. 

He lives in Our Minds (Temples). We must surrender totally, to Him in order to benefit from the power of His presence. We must practice staying mentally FOCUSED on Him, so that the will of Our Father is paramount in our minds through Him. 

Otherwise it is our carnal will that we follow. Our way, not the Fathers!  “Seek ye First the Kingdom of God, (Presence of the Holy Spirit in us) and His Righteousness and all these things will be added unto us.  

Seek the council of the Holy Spirit at all times, about everything (First), instead of running to man. If He wants us to seek the council of man, after that, He will make that known. 

Staying constantly in touch with the Holy Spirit in us Keeps us in the mindset of surrender, for only in that state do we seek His guidance in all things and understand how insignificant our so-called human knowledge and intelligence really are.  

“The Greatest human mind or genius, and its intelligence does not even scratch the surface of what the Holy Spirit teaches us about our Father and the TRUTH-JESUS and what their will is for each of us. 

He is the founder and Pastor of THE CHURCH. Contrary to tradition, there is only one. That is the Sanctified, soon to be raptured, BODY OF CHRIST founded on the Day of Pentecost, in the Upper Room, with a congregation of 120 disciples and has in 2000 years, grown to number in
the billions and more. That is the only time in its history THE CHURCH could be or was contained in one place where it could be seen. It is not a building, Denomination or doctrine we don’t attend it or have it, as Tradition has taught us, THE CHURCH is THE BODY Of CHRIST and no man can be in one place or location and see it; and only our Father and Jesus know who belongs to it. It is not to be a member of but a disciple for and the Holy Spirit runs it until our Savior returns and calls us to Him, at such time we will experience His physical presence while He personally runs it.”    

Jesus said: “This is my commandment to you; Love One Another as I have loved you. That means love everyone, friends and enemies, no matter what they Say about or do to you.  He was the only human in history whose life was an example of that commandment.

In today’s world, under our traditions and human leadership, that seems like an impossible commandment to live by but, it is possible when we strive to stay focused on His HOLY SPIRIT. Only He can teach us as we live our everyday lives, to love everyone, no matter what the
circumstance. No man can teach us that because we as humans are not equipped to do that without the consistent counsel of the HOLY SPIRIT in every aspect of our lives. “BLESS YOUR HEARTS”           











Prayer
What is the Most Powerful Prayer in the Universe and Why?

Why do we ignore the only place in scripture that
JESUS teaches us to pray?
The reason is Tradition

JESUS taught us: in Matt. 6:5-13

5: And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6: But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret;  and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.  

7: But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathens do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.  

8: Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.

9: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.  Amen. Matt.6:5-13 

We as believers, in these last days, adhere to and defend the Ten Commandments as “God’s” law to live by because He gave them to Moses out of His own mouth. On the other hand, because of “Tradition,” we practice the act of prayer in our own way, despite the fact that “JESUS-GOD,” out of His own mouth, not only gave us clear instructions on how to pray (Matt. 6:5-8), but He also gave us the most powerful words to use when we pray. (Matt. 6:9-13)

These words that He gave us, if closely scrutinized, cover everything that a believer needs to petition our “HEAVENLY FATHER” for, concerning his or her life.

We all seek, as believers, the power of GOD, “JESUS” and their “HOLY SPIRIT’S” presence and movement within our being and since He was sent on the Day of Pentecost, His most powerful movement to date on the entire body of “JESUS,” He has taken care of us in spite of 
ourselves: just as “JESUS” Promised He would.

On the Day of Pentecost (Acts2:14) the members of the first church in the upper room were on “one accord, in prayer and supplication” as they waited, which means they were praying the same thing at the same time, in the same manner as “JESUS” taught them. Suddenly there was a sound
like the rushing of a mighty wind, followed by the appearance of a fiery tongue over each of their heads (120) and when those tongues disappeared into their heads they each were filled with the “HOLY SPIRIT.”  Not since that point in time has the Body of “THE CHRIST” been on “one accord” 
for anything, including prayer. Prayer would be the most convenient way for The Body of “THE CHRIST” to be unified in our society today.

Today we individually and collectively as the Body of “THE CHRIST,” can do our part in bringing about the unleashing of the same power experienced by the first group of true believers and be involved in the fulfillment of prophesy given to and shared by the prophet Joel (Acts 2:17-21); “And it came to pass in the last days, saith “GOD,” I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh.  Our part in this, like that of those in the upper room, is to seek to be on “one accord in prayer and supplication.” 

To accomplish this, we must first understand that “Tradition” has us praying contrary to how "JESUS” taught us in Matthew 6:5-13. There he teaches us to pray in our heads, with our mouths shut, in secret (verse 6) without a lot of speaking (verse 7) or giving “GOD” details of what we feel we need (verse 8).  “For your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.” 

In the Gospels, “JESUS” points out the distinct difference between “praise and worship” and the manner in which we should pray. When entering Jerusalem on a colt, to the loud praising and rejoicing of His disciples, He was approached by the Pharisees asking him to rebuke the
disciples and he said to them, “I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.” (Luke 20:39-40) In this  He lets us know that “praise” can and should be an external acknowledgement of our love and devotion to Him, for who He is and what He has done. 
On the other hand, when he taught us to pray, he made it clear that prayer should be a personal and “secret” communication between the believer and “THE FATHER”. He also knew that in these last days the enemy would influence man to have laws restricting us from praying in certain places at certain times in our society, but if we pray in the manner that he taught; these laws would not even apply to us. We could pray anywhere, anytime, for any thing and they could not stop us; for there are no laws regulating our thoughts, yet! Finally, when we pray, if we all began to use the same powerful words “JESUS-GOD” gave to us, out of his mouth, we could once again, as the body of CHRIST, be on one accord in prayer and supplication,” and the movement and power of the “HOLY SPIRIT” among the saints would be unprecedented in these last days.

The praying of our Savior’s prayer, says to our Father that it is not about what we want or need, but it’s about His will and plan being manifested in each of our lives.

Try it yourself and watch the “HOLY SPIRIT,” as you stay “FOCUSED” on Him, move in your life; then pass it forward to those who may not have heard this message. Our HEAVENLY FATHER, “JESUS” and their “HOLY SPIRIT” will take care of the rest.  









“Contrary to Tradition”
Revelations of the Holy Spirit to the
Body of Christ (The Church) on the topic of “Saved” 
When are we Saved?

In Relation to Salvation, The (Prize), It is written (Romans 10:9): “That if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in our hearts that God has raised Him from the dead, WE SHALL BE SAVED.”  This is the scripture that is most used when teaching the way to come to Jesus and become born again.

Brothers and sisters, if you’ll notice, that verse states, clearly that WE SHALL BE SAVED and not that we are saved.

The words, shall be, in front of a word indicates a promise of something happening in the future and not something that happens instantaneously as the words are saved and am saved would indicate. Traditional teaching falls under the latter, but Jesus himself did not say a person is saved at the time they come into belief concerning him.           

JScripture examples: Matt. 10:22 “And ye shall be hated of all men for my 
Ename sake, but he that endureth to the end SHALL BE SAVED.  
SMatt. 24:13 But he that shall endureth to the end, the same 
USHALL BE SAVED.
SMark 13:13 Same as Matt 10:22

Mark16:16He that believeth and is baptized, SHALL BE SAVED, but he that believeth not shall be dammed.

John 5:34But I receive not the testimony from man, but these things I say that ye might be saved.

John 10:9I am the door, by me if any man enter in, he SHALL BE SAVED.

Peter: Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord SHALL BE SAVED.

Acts 11:14Who shall tell the words whereby thou and all thy house SHALL BE SAVED.

Acts15:11But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we SHALL BE SAVED, and thy House.

PAUL: Romans 5:9 Much More then being now justified “by his blood, WE SHALL BE SAVED from wrath through him.

Romans 5:10  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more being reconciled, we SHALL BE SAVED by his life.

Romans 10:13 For Whosoever call upon the name of the Lord SHALL BE SAVED.

Romans 11:26...and all Israel SHALL BE SAVED.  

If we notice in the previous scriptures, never do the words are or am appear before saved in relationship to salvation or the prize.  

The Holy Spirit has taught us that the time referred to in the phrase SHALL BE SAVED, refers to the moment of the Rapture, when we all will Know who is saved or rescued from the tribulation or wrath of our Father on this earth because at that point, if we are saved we will meet our Savior Jesus Christ and if not we will meet the Anti Christ.

No one knows at this point, who is or is not saved except the Father and Jesus.  Jesus said: that there would be those who would use His name and perform wonders in His name and at that time He will not even recognize them as belonging to Him, and will tell them to depart from Him. So it’s not up to us to say who is saved or who isn’t. That is our Father and Jesus’ business, for they alone know our hearts. But it is for those of us who have given our lives to them and are Born Again (Which our Savior said we must be, to stay focused on the gift of the HOLY SPIRIT who abides in us as we live, to teach and guide us in the truth of how to be eligible to be saved when saving time comes.

Understanding this revelation will serve to keep us humble, focused and more obedient; realizing that we are born again and redeemed, but constantly working toward finishing the race set before us by our FATHER and JESUS. For it is only at the end of this race are we able to receive the
prize of Eternal Salvation and with that the knowledge that we are Truly “Saved” from the enemy and Hell’s Fire and will be able to say as our MASTER said, “It is Finished”  Bless Your Hearts           










TRUST

(Proverb 3:5-6) Says, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding (No man knows the future). In all thy ways acknowledge Him (GOD), and He shall direct thy paths.” 

No where in the word of God, the BIBLE does it tell us to trust in each other?  Our trust is to be given EXCLUSIVELY to Our HEAVENLY FATHER GOD,JESUS and Their HOLY SPIRIT.

Bless Your Heart        







I am sure you remember the WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) promotion from a few years ago, that was a national success in pointing people, especially believers, in the right direction when questions arose in their lives concerning the right choices to make.  

This spiritual promotion we have been blessed with is more in line with scripture when it comes to how we should live and the answers to life’s questions. For the Truthful answers to questions concerning “Life’s Way,” we need only ask ourselves, “What Did Jesus Say?”

Those answers came, not so much from what our Master did, but what He taught us with the words that proceeded from His mouth.  His words, according to Jesus in Matthew 4:4 are the standard by which we should live.

His works, as awesome as they were, showed His Power and also the purpose of drawing the multitudes to Him, the “Greatest” Marketing plan of all time, considering the natural resources and technology not available to Him. Once He had their presence and attention He taught on every aspect of life. 

So, in conclusion, when it comes to how we should live, nothing that he did, with exception of the crucifixion and the resurrection, is more important than what our Savior has to say.

These Messages are not meant to be revolutionary, but “Revelationary.” JESUS said it; We believe it, that settles it.
