THE PROSSES OF SALVATION PART 2

 

 

 

Jas 1:12  Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 

Jas 1:13  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 

Jas 1:14  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 

Jas 1:15  Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 

Jas 1:16  Do not err, my beloved brethren. 

 

 

How to endure temptation is a learning prosses that is attainable we have

Messiah as a witness. He that denies Christ has come in the flesh is antichrist.

 This is the mystery that brings deliverance and we all have been deceived.


1Jn 4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 

1Jn 4:2  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 

1Jn 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 

 

 

 Already in the world this the spirit has is and will be here to the end of the Aion's.

Why does John make a big thing about Christ coming in the flesh?

The Devil wants us blind to the fact that Jesus came in the same flesh

we live in, Eve is the mouther of all living including messiah. Some would

say yes but Christ Father was God. Yes and so was the first Adam and by the way call no man on earth father for we have one Father even God.

El-O-Heem created man and breathed life into him. Christ humbled himself and became a man and learned obedience by the things he suffered tempted in every way but without sin.

 

 

 

Heb 2:14  Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 

Heb 2:15  And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 

Heb 2:16  For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. (flesh and blood)

Heb 2:17  Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 

Heb 2:18  For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. 

 

 

HE SUFFERED BEING TEMPTED; he is able to succor them that are tempted. (succor- he is our helper Christ in us the hope of glory) the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because the see him not neither knows him.

 

G997

βοηθέω

boētheō

bo-ay-theh'-o

From G998; to aid or relieve: - help, succour.

 

 

 

Yashua/Jesus Messiah did what the spirit inside directed him to do, he never sinned and

obeyed the lust of his flesh are the devil. WHY CALL ME GOOD? he asked there is only one that is good that is God. This statement was made because of the earthly flesh he lived in he was baptized with the holy spirit and fire as well. And learned obedience by the things he suffered.

 

 

Mar 10:38  But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? 

Mar 10:39  And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: 

Mar 10:40  But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. 

 

Mat 3:16  And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 

Mat 3:17  And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 

 

Mat 4:1  Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 

 

Mat 4:4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 

 

 

Every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God is indeed you will be baptized and drink the cup everyone will be sanctified by the Spirit and fire for God is a consuming fire. Therefore, we will be made white in this Aion are during the WHITE TRONE JUDGEMENT (THE GREAT TRIBULATION).

 

Christ (means the anointing) to press to bring under pressure, Christ in us his fan is in his hand, and he will purge us of all hay and stubble and refine us as Gold to be a vessel of honor sanctified and meet for the master's use.


 

2Ti 2:20  But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 

2Ti 2:21  If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. 

2Ti 2:22  Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 

2Ti 2:23  But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 

2Ti 2:24  And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 

2Ti 2:25  In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 

 

Eph 1:4  According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 

Eph 1:5  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 

 

Eph 4:11  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 

Eph 4:12  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 

Eph 4:13  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 fulness of Christ: 

 

 

Christ is wisdom of God and the power and by his wisdom and power he makes away of escape for us when we are tempted as we are drawn away by the lust of the flesh. Jesus was drawn away by the lust of his flesh and tempted. DO YOU BELIVE THAT? Unless you do you will not be free in this age, the Devil has deceived the world into believing Christ lived in different flesh besides this earthy, sensual, lustful flesh we live in. We see it plainly no one believes sin in the flesh can be overcome even though Jesus says who the Son sets free is free indeed.

 

 

Joh 8:32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 

Joh 8:33  They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 

Joh 8:34  Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 

Joh 8:35  And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 

Joh 8:36  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 

Joh 8:37  I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 

Joh 8:38  I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 

 

 

Our father the Devil deceives us O the Devil is not my father you may say, well if you are still living in sin, you father is the Devil.

 

Joh 8:43  Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 

Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 

 

 

We must first recognize we are the man of sin standing in the temple of God proclaiming we are God before we can receive God's spirit and start to be set free

by the consuming fire of God's word which is Christ in us the hope of glory.

Oneness with the Father and the Son is where God wants to bring us that is being

glorified.

 

 

Joh 17:1  These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 

Joh 17:2  As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 

Joh 17:3  And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 

Joh 17:4  I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 

Joh 17:5  And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 

 

 

Christ glorified the Father while he was on earth, now he has been reglorified as he was in the beginning. THAT THE SON MAY GLORIFY THEE? what is this about?

 

 

Joh 17:11  And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 

 

Joh 17:15  I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 

 

Joh 17:16  They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 

 

Joh 17:17  Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 

 

Joh 17:18  As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 

Joh 17:19  And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 

 

Joh 17:22  And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 

 

Joh 17:23  I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 

 

Joh 17:24  Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 

 

 

He draws us to himself and justifies us by his blood he loved us while yet in sin

then he sanctifies us by the truth of his word which is a consuming fire and teaches

us how to walk as he walked. Therfore so we can walk in the light and have fellowship with the Father and the Son and one another. Be not deceived if we are walking in darkness in the lust of the flesh ( that is giving into temptation) we are following the Devil the father of lies.

 

 

1Jn 1:5  This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 

1Jn 1:6  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 

1Jn 1:7  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 

 

1Jn 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

 

1Jn 3:2  Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 

1Jn 3:3  And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 

1Jn 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 

1Jn 3:5  And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 

1Jn 3:6  Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 

1Jn 3:7  Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 

1Jn 3:8  He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 

 

 

Deception is everywhere Satan has plenty of ministers that twist or crook the word

to justify their sin. I will take one scripture that has been mistranslated and prove

the point.

 

1Jn 1:8  IfG1437 we sayG2036 thatG3754 we haveG2192 {noG3756} sinG266 we deceiveG4105 ourselves,G1438 andG2532 theG3588 truthG225 isG2076 notG3756 inG1722 us.G2254 

 

I posted it with the Greek numbers and bracted NO I posted it with the Greek numbers and bracted NO G3756 now let me show you another scripture.

 

1Jn 1:10  IfG1437 we sayG2036 thatG3754 we have {notG3756} sinned,G264 we makeG4160 himG846 a liar,G5583 andG2532 hisG848 wordG3056 isG2076 notG3756 inG1722 us.G2254 

 

We bracketed NOT G 3756 SAME GREEK NUMBER NO AND NOT

 

To have NO sin and to have not sinned has to different meanings this is the scripture

I used because this is the scripture everyone wants to use to justify their continually

giving into temptation and sinning. What are the scriptures above John 1:8 saying?

 

 

1Jn 1:5  This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 

1Jn 1:6  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 

1Jn 1:7  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 

 

Now let's change the NO to NOT

 

1Jn 1:8  If we say that we have not sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

. 1Jn 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

1Jn 1:10  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 

1Jn 2:1  My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 

1Jn 2:2  And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 

1Jn 2:3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 

1Jn 2:4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 

1Jn 2:5  But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 

1Jn 2:6  He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 

1Jn 2:7  Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. 

1Jn 2:8  Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 

1Jn 2:9  He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 

1Jn 2:10  He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 

 

 Love is the opposite of sin God is love the Devil words are lies and hatefulness.

Now if we sin, we have an advocate Jesus Christ the righteous. If we sin; not when we sin yes, it is possible to sin if we choose willingly because Jesus said he would not allow us to be tempted above measure but make away of escape. (IF) 

\

G1437

ἐάν

ean

eh-an'

From G1487 and G302; a conditional particle; in case that, provided, etc.; often used in connection with other particles to denote indefiniteness or uncertainty: - before, but, except, (and) if, (if) so, (what-, whither-) soever, though, when (-soever), whether (or), to whom, [who-] so (-ever). See G3361.

 

1Co 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is  faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 

1Co 10:14  Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. 

1Co 10:15  I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 

 

 

Jas 1:12  Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him

Jas 1:13  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 

Jas 1:14  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 

Jas 1:15  Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 

Jas 1:16  Do not err, my beloved brethren. 

 

 

Let no man deceive you God has called us to holiness, righteousness, and it is Christ who does the work and our righteousness is not of ourselves but his doing.

 

 

Rom 8:29  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 

Rom 8:30  Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 

 

Rom 8:19  For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 

Rom 8:20  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 

Rom 8:21  Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 

 

We were subjected to vanity by our Father in heaven and he has sent his Son to come and die for our justification by condemning sin in the flesh, so Christ in us can be the consuming fire of God's word that sanctifies us through judgement to be tried as gold to open our eyes so we can be clothed with white robes and be rich in God.

 

 

Rev 3:15  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 

Rev 3:16  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 

Rev 3:17  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 

Rev 3:18  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 

Rev 3:19  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 

 

 

Jas_1:2  My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

 

 

1Pe 1:6  Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 

1Pe 1:7  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 

 

 

God wants to deliver us from temptations through his Son who was tempted in all measures as us but without sin, he is able to deliver us if we choose to trust him like Joshua and Caleb did are do you think your giants are too big for God to deliver you from? If so, we will be still in the wilderness after 40 years and wake up one day in the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT we will be made whit in this Aion are in another age.

 

 

2Pe_2:9  The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

Rev_3:10  Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

  lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 

 

Heb 3:8  Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 

Heb 3:9  When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 

Heb 3:10  Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 

Heb 3:11  So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) 

Heb 3:12  Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 

Heb 3:13  But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 

Heb 3:14  For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 

Heb 3:15  While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 

Heb 3:16  For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 

Heb 3:17  But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 

Heb 3:18  And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 

Heb 3:19  So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. 

 

 

We will end this lesson here next lesson will be about spiritual warfare

what God uses to perfect us to maturity and how to take the escape route when Jesus makes a way. SHALOME!
