THE DESTRUCTIVENESS OF THE “FAITH” MESSAGE 1st Peter 1:6-7, 9; John 13:1-10; Acts 14:22; 2nd Timothy 2:12, 3:12; 2nd Thessalonians 1:4-5 STUDY NOTES: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8kn8rmixlnladwg/AABee0XSOcJo8WEa7mXgezdba?dl=0 AUDIO: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/h9vpi3pc9h864ti/AAC8rq_X-dFxWOEjhgcKeFZza?dl=0 Subscribe to Receive Updates from For His Glory TX: http://eepurl.com/o7-J9 Having long since understood that the modern day “Faith Movement” healing and prosperity message was a modern-day perversion of God’s Word, it is yet difficult to see its insidious tentacles continuing to invade the minds of sincere seekers of God. It’s nothing more than psychology or having faith in faith. But faith in your faith is no faith at all. Many have not come into the true knowledge and revelation of God’s Salvation Plan. That being the knowledge that Christ, through His substitutionary sacrifice, has on the one merciful and loving hand saved us from the consequence of our past inherent disqualifying sin (Romans 5:12) and granted us the gift of eternal life (Romans 5:21), while on the other just and holy hand, has laid out in Scripture the potential or possibility for eternal glory for those who then overcome their present sinful nature Revelation chapters 1-3). See Exodus 29:4 with 30:19-21 in the light of John 13 where Christ then washes the feet of His Disciples. John 13 is one of the emblematic examples of this necessary spiritual duality in the washing of a man’s soul, these together being the fullness of God’s Salvation plan. It is His intended purpose for each individual saved…. (1) in that the one who has been immersed in the regeneration waters of eternal life, then has no need to be immersed again, for once he is fully cleansed in regeneration of the spirit, then (2) he needs the further ongoing washing of the feet which represents the inescapable soiling of the “dust” of this corrupting World. The Truth set forth in Scripture is that the immersion of the spirit with the receiving of Christ’s Righteousness as our own, with the promise of eternal life, is that one-time cleansing (once and for all). But in our covenant emersion in newness of life (typing resurrection), there follows Christ’s command for ongoing cleansings through repentance unto overcoming in the Spirit the soiling of our feet as we walk in the world. That then is the process unto holiness if we are to have any part in His glory- filled kingdom. So it is, the mature are humbly grateful in the full knowledge and revelation of those two parts of Christ’s Atonement; that is the all inclusive gift of eternal life part (justification) and the exclusive promised prize of eternal glory in His Kingdom part (our sanctification) . The basis for our cleansing repentance is in that (1) we acknowledge our ongoing sins as being contrary to His Will and Word and know these would otherwise disqualify us from His promised inheritance as an Overcomer (Revelation 1-3), (2) and that we might thereby draw upon that grace (the gift of power of the Spirit) to overcome the old nature and the wiles of the enemy of our soul unto a part in His Kingdom. (He dealt with our sin and we deal with/overcome our sin nature. Eternal life is all inclusive to believers while eternal glory is exclusive to only the overcoming/fruit-bearing believer.) The “Faith Movement” messages (like many ancient false sister-like messages) would have us to believe, contrary to Christ’s Words that we have no practical need of any further cleansing on earth as it relates to our afterlife. Having received the immersion into Christ, they say that we are thereby guaranteed recipients of all His eternal promises. Although these “faith” messengers might talk about a sinless life, and project a life of holiness, it is nonetheless taught as an already assured glory-filled heavenly inheritance, as everything necessary or needed is imputed in the Righteousness of Jesus Christ. So thus their message becomes one that has all to do with an earthly inheritance while living here, and also ensuring they have already obtained all that Christ has wrought and promised the “believer’” as their rights, in the after life as well. And therefore, they say we should claim and lay hold of those “faith promises” in the here and now! Thus they destructively redirect a Christian’s focus entirely upon an inheritance in earthly things. They say that as God’s Will, the so called “Rights of the Believer” in Christ are success and physical health, (and abundant wealth being the main thrust of their doctrines). With “positive confession” and tithing/ “giving and receiving” being key essentials in the realizing of God’s desired intent for all “believers” in Christ. REDEFINING FAITH Faith being the shield, it must first be attacked…. “Positive” confession being faith’s essential......

THE INHERITANCES OF THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT Genesis 12:1-17:27; Hebrews 11:8-16; John 14:15; Romans 10:23; Galatians 5:2-6; Matthew 5:20 STUDY NOTES: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/a4y5i4jsc7zlvd1/AABbM8fqaroN0Yufi0e3kkhba?dl=0 AUDIO: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mijdp2telb5wghi/AAB65ydVdu7HL8etLXFpNUbOa?dl=0 Subscribe to Receive Updates from For His Glory TX: http://eepurl.com/o7-J9 THE INHERITANCES OF THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT Lech Lecha…Genesis 12:1-17:27 Genesis 13:15 “For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.” Genesis 15:18 “In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.” Genesis 17:7-8 “And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” What is Covenant? It’s an agreement that brings about a relationship of commitment between God and his people. Without Covenant there is no spiritual connection; no means by which we might be drawn into holy relationship with God. And once in Covenant, we develop that sanctifying relationship with commandments. Commandments accompany the Covenant for which we are set apart for. What does commandment mean? Received by faith, the core meaning or purpose is so that a connection for relationship and the forging of character can be established. “If you love me you will keep my commandments”. [John 14:15] A second part of commandments’ connection is to receive and give a “blessing”; to make holy. To bring energy within and thereby without. That is “salt and light”. Through keeping the New Covenant commandments, the life-changing spiritual power of holiness may be transferred, that a glory-filled closeness to God may be finally realized in resurrection. If one is in Covenant with God, he is then set apart. He is then required to exercise his will to do its commandments, being thereby set apart for that act. 1) first comes spirit prompting (sub-conscience), 2) arrangement into thought (based upon the truth of the Word), 3) communication, 4) action, thereby sanctified (set aside) he brings spiritual energy from the spirit world (spiritual energy, salt and light) into the material world (holiness and blessing). What can we call the purpose of Covenant? It is a call unto fitness of the vessel for Glory. “And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?” [Romans 10:23] Circumcision was a special mitzvah/commandment given to Abraham later after he had received the promise of the inheritance of the Land of Canaan. It is a Jewish Abrahamic Covenant mitzvah, and to be a member of that Covenant, it’s a very critical one. The command prompting being of the “spirit” is naturally extended to every Jew, being the seed of Abraham, and is thereby included in that Covenant. Without it a Jew is not sanctified. Without it a Jew can not be “holy” and is ineffective in bringing holiness or a blessing unto the material world, as it is the sign and foundation of the Covenant. It’s the mitzvah necessary in order that any spiritual structure may be built upon. Paul had the New Covenant truth (into which he led those who were members) that Brit/circumcision of the body had no affect on their spiritual energy. On the contrary, it could be detrimental if wrongly understood by New Covenant believers. “Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. -- Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.” [Galatians 5:2-6] We are to be members of the New Covenant, with our spirit promptings, yielded in heart to arrange our thoughts from the New Covenant perspective (Christ follower language), that our relationship and communication with the Lord is not hindered, neither on a personal level nor in our communicating with others. And our obedient actions follow the commandments on the New Covenant terms, that we may be faith-filled, sanctified, holy, bringing spiritual energy of New Covenant, which is love into the World. So the prompting being spirit, the organizing being into New Covenant... DOWNLOAD COMPLETE STUDY NOTES: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/a4y5i4jsc7zlvd1/AABbM8fqaroN0Yufi0e3kkhba?dl=0

Today is the beginning of a new cycle of teaching the Torah of Moses (first five books of the Bible) within the Jewish community. The portion of Scripture for the lesson is from Genesis 1:1 through 2:3 and is entitled Bereishit / Beginnings. This is from where we set forth some critical truths again. To begin with, Man’s creation or beginning is realized last, after the other 3 kingdom divisions, that of mineral, of vegetable, and of animal (the animal having a measure of intelligence or light). And then over all of these is Man, who is a superior being filled with the far greater characteristics of reason, reflection, self examination, self-control, and will. He additionally has the unique ability of speech, all of which speaks to man being made in the image of God. Man is the crowning of all that God did before the 7th Day of Rest. The Law of these Kingdom Beginnings is that none of these kingdoms may pass from one to another, save only by the act of the Creator (as when prideful Nebuchadnezzar was relegated to the nature of the animal kingdom, being controlled by that nature of that life force, and being darkened and unaware, (grew his nails and behaved as an animal) seemingly satisfied within that life’s nature. And afterwards, being again enlightened into the kingdom of man, he gratefully recognized God’s sovereignty in praise and worship. “…and excellent majesty was added unto…” him. This sets forth before us an example of loss and gain of different kingdoms’ life (see Daniel 4:30-37). ABOVE AND SUPERIOR TO THE KINGDOMS OF MAN’S REALM, THERE IS ANOTHER KINGDOM; THE KINGDOM OF GOD. That Kingdom, Christ declares as “spirit” in that God is spirit (John 4:24). There is no article a before the word spirit in the Greek. Now it is understood from Scripture that Adam was not the man in his kingdom life and its nature as he now is, in that before his fall from that higher life and nature, due to sin he was able to see and experience the spirit realm, in that he communed with God in the Garden. But having determined to serve himself instead of his Creator, he disobeyed his Creator and lost the spiritual faculty to see or enter into the Kingdom of God. (Genesis 2:17, 3:6) It is the loss of that higher life in his spirit’s “death” that has naturally barred man from seeing or entering into the Kingdom of God. So now being in the flesh, which is to be only capable of being carnally minded, and now quite satisfied, not acutely aware of his loss, if at all, it is impossible for man to please God in this state. (Romans 8:6-8) No longer is man a heavenly-minded earthly being, he is now fallen from that lofty state of his “beginning” to a spiritless soul man, a life-less man, a cursed and doomed creation of his own making. Now fallen man is bound in the Law of Genesis: that seed produce after its own kind… which restricts entrance into any other kingdom but by birth only. (Genesis 1:11-12, 24) It is in these verses that the necessity for being Born-Again is found. The Apostle John’s words of “In the beginning….” in the Book of John verse 1 are surely reflective of Genesis 1:1 and as such are then the first recorded New Testament commentary on the Torah of Moses as it relates to creative events. It is where he presents to us Christians that the Word of God was essential to Creation, and was manifest incarnate in the flesh. That is in human form, as Jesus Christ, the 2nd Adam, dwelt among us. And in…. That all things were made by Him, in Him was life; and the life was the light of men…” He came unto His own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” [John 1:1-14] The point of verses 11-12 (“He came to His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God.”) is pressed forward with that meeting at night with a Jewish Pharisee leader; Nicodemus, as recorded by John in the 3rd Chapter, verses 1-21. It is here that Christ rebukes the supposed teacher of Israel for his lack of understanding that a man must be “born-again” in that a man who is not “born-again “cannot see the Kingdom of God”. See verse 3….“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” [John 3:3] The Kingdom of Israel, to be established by the Messiah of God, is that which the Jew of Christ’s day was.........

THE FULLNESS OF THE SEVEN FEASTS Genesis 3:15; Numbers 19, 35:9-34; Daniel 9:27, 12:11-12; Isaiah 28:14-22 STUDY NOTES: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zxi2gakpofn60ls/AACTxXfrRx0FkX5D8uluJ0Oea?dl=0 AUDIO: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u6xb5v5shhqqxy8/AAC4PifHLVGSr4sRKnBtzRbna?dl=0 Subscribe to Receive Updates from For His Glory TX: http://eepurl.com/o7-J9 THE FULLNESS OF THE 7 FEASTS/SET TIMES OF GOD (How they represent REDEMPTION and REST) The Feasts are emblematic representations of the prophetic set or appointed times of God for the complete Redemption and Rest for the two Peoples of God. The Feasts are chronologically to be fulfilled or filled with similar meaning, but on two different time lines, one for Christians (or the New Man) and one for Jews. In typology, Christians have received the Messiah’s (1) Passover and (2) Unleavened Bread Feasts, having been translated out of the kingdom of darkness into His light. We are now to purge out sin. “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” [1st Corinthians 5:7-8] Christians recognize the (3) First Fruits offering to be Jesus Christ with active hope of their having a part of an additional future First Fruits offering of the man-child which will be caught up to God (Revelation 12:5, 14:4), or of the First Resurrection offering…. “But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.” (1st Corinthians 15:23, Revelation 14:20:4-6) Christians acknowledge the historical (4) Pentecost as being the outpouring of the Spirit’s sanctifying Power in the calling of the two leavened loaves (Jew and Gentile to the one New Man) throughout the World unto God. “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” [Acts 1:8, 2:16] These 4 Spring Feasts of the appointed times of God, all are fulfilled or filled with meaning as it relates to that one people of God; the New Man. The New Man looks forward to the fulfillment of the fall Feasts that will fill the Heavenly Calling with Millennial glory and purpose. (5) Trumpets represents the worthy gathered into the heavenly places unto Jesus Christ. (6) The Day of Atonement being the realization in the glory of At-One-Ment with Him. (John 17:21, Revelation 19:7) (7) Tabernacles not only has in view to be with Him in the heavenly tabernacle, but the promise of an eternal habitation prepared by the Father in New Jerusalem. That which begins with the “sowing” ends with the reaping and separating of the wheat from the tares. TABERNACLES is the final result of what Christ had set forth in the parables of prophesies in the 13th Ch. of Matthew. THE FEASTS THE PROPHETIC CALENDAR OF ISRAEL Let’s look at how the Feasts are God’s appointed set times are emblematic of the future restoration and rest for Israel specifically. They are all prophetic representations of certain chronological events concerning Israel, yet future. The Jewish perspectives on these Feasts are but very dim in the ignored light of the Messiah’s Revelation. Scripture details the final and greatest destruction of all time on future Israel, which will be the death of 2/3s of its inhabitants, and another great dispersion (Zechariah 13:8), with world-wide persecution. It is only then that the appointed times of the Feasts will finally be set in motion and filled with their true meaning. Spiritually speaking, Israel shall then be shaken awake from their religious and secular stupor towards the end of Daniel’s prophesied 490 years of Gentile authority. This started when God took away Israel’s authority and gave it to Nebuchadnezzar. It ends at the end of the suspended 7 years of time (which had been suspended in time after having crucified the Lamb of God) at which time they will repent and apply the Blood. This dynamic will eliminate the long hot summer between the Spring and Fall, that time appointed to call out a people for His Name (Acts 15:14), and put the remaining 6 feasts in close proximity in time. Excluding the 7th and last Feast of Tabernacles, the emblematic 5 Feasts; Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, and Atonement Day are representative of critical events for Israel’s eternal Redemption and Rest which are to be fulfilled within the 75 days allotted in Daniel 12:11-12 before the Millennial Tabernacles. (This is the period of both 45 and 30 days discussed in Daniel, with the biblical measure of a month being 30 days.) When we speak of the Set Times......

INCENTIVIZED TO OVERCOME THE FESTIVALS AND OTHER SET TIMES OF GOD Leviticus 26:18; Isaiah 5:5; Hosea 6:1-3; Numbers 19:11-12; Daniel 2:44, 7:14, 9:24-27 STUDY NOTES: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gfa1ydzo5z0676q/AACklNKitH1KeY6evDsSJACna?dl=0 AUDIO: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ysc9s60ujsy5t4o/AABSl9Ee5_39ris03cJx1lK2a?dl=0 Subscribe to Receive Updates from For His Glory TX: http://eepurl.com/o7-J9 CRITICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE FESTIVALS AND OTHER SET TIMES OF GOD The appointed set times of God include the following terms: On the Third Day and On the Seventh Day, After 400 years, and After 430 years, After 70 years, and After 490 years. Understanding these set times are critical to understand-ing the appointed times of the 7 Festivals: Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Day of Atonement and Tabernacles. These set times will be laid out here, where Truth may be discerned in the light of the New Covenant. There’s a great saying about this Truth which has been at-tributed to Augustine…. “The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed.” The very first of His appointed set times and patterns which God has revealed in Scripture is that of the time frame and pattern to restore a fallen/chaotic creation. That having been established as “7 days” in the RE-CREATION, as de-scribed in the first 34 verses of Genesis. Two things we can always rely on in Scripture are: 1) that any pattern or set time God has established is perfect. 2) that it will be the pattern or set time always repeated throughout Scripture concerning that matter. This 7 Day pattern or set time then represents restora-tion and creation, and as such, it is a sign/set time given to Israel. “And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whoso-ever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.” [Exodus 31:14-17] It is a sign of their sanctifying by the Lord. So the set time for the restoration from the previous fallen creation (pre-Adamic) was “7 days”. And so shall then the restoration of this current fallen creation be also 7 days. It shall be seven 1000 year periods, as Scripture reveals that a Day can be 1000 years unto the Lord. (2nd Peter 3:8) This perfect pat-tern or set time for completion (7) is set forth first in the first 34 verses of Genesis. It will not change; we can trust that this pattern is a constant throughout Scripture. All other set or appointed times have this pattern in view. We are moving through time in that we are in the 6th Day looking unto the 7th Day of the Lord. God restored the heavens and the earth with the creation of man in view. Man was created in the 6th day, and so God’s set times designate the 6th day as the day of Man, whereas the 7th day is the Lord’s. Almost all the verses in the Bible that refer to “the Day of the Lord” or “in that Day” are a reference to the 7th Millennial Day. The septenary structure (pattern of 7’s) is found throughout Scripture, and all those places point towards that original 6 days leading up to the Day of The Lord. It should be here noted that on the 3rd Day of Re-Creation, in Genesis 1:9, RESURRECTION is the principal set forth, in that the life-giving Earth appeared out of the waters. With the future resurrections being in view on the “3rd “ Day. Additionally, Scripture sanctifies the 3rd day in conjunction with the 7th day. (From some points of view, this association symbolizes/points to the same “day”.) Here’s an example of that association in this type/shadow found in the Old Covenant. “He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days. He shall purify himself with it (water of sepa-ration) on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.” [Numbers 19:11-12] What that points to is that Israel is in defilement and She must first be sprin-kled in the Third Day, having been defiled by the Body and death of Christ.

The discovery of which adds lost incentive, confidence and assurance to our hearts of God’s designed order in this time, which has undoubtedly reached the time of the last generation before His return. (Matthew 24:34) We are going to start off by looking at the bigger picture which, if we grasp it, will help us understand the backdrop for the theme of this book, God’s Plan for all mankind. A Scriptural summary of that Plan begins with recognizing that we are created beings, and our bodies are of the material of this realm, as are the earth and heavens seen above. Scripture informs us of another realm, that being the “spirit realm”. And in that realm, God had previously created superior spirit beings; Angels. Scripture also reveals that 1/3 of God’s angels are in rebellion and along with their leader, satan, are jointly occupying, and ruling the nations of this earthly realm. They do so by usurped authority, having successfully tempted Adam, God’s first created man, to whom He had given authority over this earthly realm. So it is now that all man’s earthly government is controlled and corrupted by unseen evil forces who rule from spiritual high places, whose evil ways are checked by God by way of constant monitoring and oversight of His faithful Angels. And if any regenerated man, being then God’s child, would answer His call to be Godly, those wicked spirit forces will ever oppose him, as they resist God’s will for him. And therefore, man must presently resist and battle them in order to cooperate with God in His will. The reality then in which we live is that fallen angels rule over the present Earth/World and Mankind from high places in the unseen spirit realm surrounding us. But Scripture holds forth that God has determined an end to their government. In that God has appointed a new administrating authority, the Messiah Who shall replace them and rule throughout the universe. He shall cast out of the heavenly places those evil angelic forces and break into pieces and consume all the earthly governments through which those unseen forces rule. (Daniel 2:44, Mark 13:35, Revelation 12:7-9 to name a few.) Then God will grant Man all authority, in the Person of the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, Who then in association with His accounted worthies will reign in government with Him over His entire eternal Kingdom. “For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.” (Psalm 8, Hebrews 1:5-10) Having the understanding that men will rule over the world instead of/and replacing angels, makes it easier to understand why satan and his underling forces work so hard to keep God’s people from coming into their FULL inheritance. This would fulfill God’s original stated intent, which was to grant man authority in the Earth. (Genesis 1:26) And at the time of Christ’s First Coming, God added His intent to increase the realm of man’s dominion to the heavenly spirit realm as well. This was one of the great mysteries hidden until Christ’s First Coming. God had previously condemned the satanically perverted scheme of one species leaving its created estate and place and taking on the form, or joining itself with other species. (Genesis 6:2, Jude 6, Leviticus 20:6) This being the Law in Genesis that everything should produce after its own kind/species. (Genesis 1) For God had foreordained a holy uniting of a heavenly being with an earthly being, taking the form of the Son of God / Son of man. His intent was to bring many spiritual sons into being, whom would be fit or worthy to bring into His glorious holy heavenly realm and Presence. (Hebrews 2:10, 1st Thessalonians 2:12) This being the state or place which even the merely regenerated (much less natural fallen man) is not capable to inhabit. This is the state and place of the New Man. Certainly there shall always be the saved of natural Nations living eternally upon the earth, (Revelation 21:24) but this exclusive calling of place and position in the heavenly realm is the mysterious and magnificent part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It has in view this New Creature; that is to say those chosen worthies caught up into new transcendent glory-filled bodies fit for that realm.

This has been defined in the Gospel, as being directed in the first part towards the Gentiles (but not exclusively) for the bringing out of a people for His Name (Acts 15:14) and in the second part, afterwards, the restoration of the Jews as God’s people on the earth. (Romans 11:26) The New Testament Gospel proclaimed produces faith/trust in those willing to hear of Christ and His promises. Faith is action or the will to do whatever the conditions to receive the promise based upon His Word alone without having seen the promised thing. (Romans 10:17 with Hebrews 11:1,6). The Gospel of Christ holds forth two eternal possibilities for His followers: The first being the gift of eternal life. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. [Romans 6:23] And the second being the reward of eternal glory. “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:..” [Colossians 1:25-28] Grace (the Divine influence upon the heart) is the provision of God for man. The principle for our attaining that provision is faith. And when the Word declares “…according to your faith be it unto you” it becomes the qualifying condition to draw upon that provision. No faith; no grace provision. God will not be mocked by fainting pretense. Living faith is obedient action energized by love, (Galatians 5:6) as opposed to dead works. It procures the working of the Holy Spirit’s Power on the duality of a born-again Christian soul. (A new dynamic; that of the old nature left and the new nature of the spirit now enlivened within); that which will now be the challenge to faithfulness. After having received the Word of God as it relates to redemption’s rescue, there’s a further Word communicated through the enlivened conscience in the renewed spirit to the intellect. And there upon agreeing with its guidance, then the Christian wills / chooses meekly and obediently to follow that guidance; thereby exercising “faith” (action) in trusting patience. Then is the God-given provision of grace; His influence of the power of the Holy Spirit upon our character nature exercised in life, the end being a Christ-likeness/Godliness.) It’s a process unto worthiness, to be fit for the Master’s service while alive, and to attain unto the inheritance of the First Resurrection into Christ’s Kingdom manifest at His 2nd Coming. This worthiness being wrought by living faith in the power of grace unto the attaining of Kingdom of Christ is the meaning of the Scripture “…work out your salvation with fear and trembling…” This calling to a further work after Redemption makes clear and harmonizes with the numerous Scriptures seemingly contradictory to a non-works doctrine. This “two parts of the Gospel” is typed in Israel’s journey in the Wilderness. In that after the blood of the lamb delivered them from Egypt, they were instructed then to follow the Pillar of Light unto the greater purpose of their redemption; their inheritance, through obedience unto worthiness. Deliverance (typed as being eternal, as none of Israel was allowed to return to Egypt) was the working on one side of the Red Sea, whereas inheritance was to be by obedient struggle, being led by the Pillar of Light. That worthiness of Jesus, the Son of Man and Lamb of God, the Anointed One by the Holy Spirit without measure, being confirmed, having been resurrected from Hades, the first-born from the dead, was received up through the heavens and now sits at the right Hand of the Father. In that He has paved the way for all who have been redeemed, who having now privilege and opportunity, may follow that way into the Kingdom of God and His presence. This Gospel according to His appointed Will, is the worthy...... DOWNLOAD COMPLETE STUDY NOTES: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yxp072d4jsdt9w8/AABSyL06jaYLhQQMhaY3q4kpa?dl=0

And that which separates them chiefly is the acceptance of the Messiah Jesus Christ. And correspondingly, there are differences in Covenants based upon different principles of holiness. The Mosaic Law Covenant, with justice being its principle and Grace (i.e. God’s influence upon the heart by the Holy Spirit) being the principle of the other. The one has an earthly calling; the other a heavenly calling (Hebrews 3:1). Their standing before God is different, their destinies are different. They have different promises with different sanctuaries, services, rites and priesthoods. The Old skin suits the Old Covenant wine but Christ puts the wine of the New Covenant in new skins. If we are to mix the New Wine in the Old Skins, we would ruin them both. “But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.” Both Covenants: the Old Mosaic and the New Covenant in Christ stand alone, independent from each other. Now all men are born under the Law of God, that being the law of the Garden of Eden, as all men are born into Adam as his seed. And therefore all men are subject to his cursing for disobedience of that Law; that being physical and spiritual death. We men of Adam have received by faith, Christ Jesus the 2nd Adam, Who, being the Seed of God, was not born under the Law of Adam. But He was on the 8th day circumcised under the Law of Moses and in His 33rd year falsely crucified under its Law, being unworthy of death, being resurrected by God, Who thereby destroyed the works of the devil, and fulfilled or brought to completion that part of the ancient Written Torah. And He was appointed Redeemer of all mankind. All who then receive Him by faith as Saviour are thereby enlisted in the Covenant of Grace and are free from that Law of the curse of spiritual death inherent from the Garden Law (Romans 5:8-21), having their spirits regenerated unto eternal life. And additionally, being also free from any obligation to keep the Mosaic Law and thereby free from its curse (Galatians 2:19, 3:6-14). Christ’s commands are now our Law (Galatians 6:2) “…for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.” [Matthew 23:8] CHARACTERISTICS, PURPOSE, AND FUNCTION OF THE MOSAIC LAW * They were given to the 12 tribes of Israel. They are the only ones to whom they were given (albeit the whole of mankind have benefited from them). * Observance of the Mosaic Law would allow Israel to realize the blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant (that which Christ fulfilled/completed). For obedience there would be blessings (the fullness of Christ received), and for disobedience, cursing (Deuteronomy 28-30). * The Mosaic Law is administered in the “letter” whereas in contrast the Gospel of Jesus Christ is ministered in the spirit. “Who also 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.” [2nd Corinthians 3:6] Nevertheless “The law (of Moses) is holy, and the commandment is holy and just, good. …We know that the law is spiritual….” [Romans 7:12,14] However, the Law of Moses, and its demand for ridged observance unto righteousness is to be temporary, as comprehended in Romans 7:1-6 where, the Mosaic Law is typed as the strict unyielding first husband, having guided and revealed his wife into the knowledge of her woeful and justly condemned state. …The wife wishing to be set free from her most impossible state associated with her marriage, impossible in that her condemning husband shall never die…but lo and behold she now passes away (so it is seen that the principal of Law is that it holds one until death, and is typical and symbolic in baptismal submersion (Romans 6:3-4). She has “died,” completely freeing her from her first husband and she now takes the Messiah as her new husband (no spiritual polygamy), as she rises from the “dead” in newness of life, completely free from the condemnation of her first husband, now in the New Covenant grace of Christ . She’s under “…a better covenant, (abundant grace and mercy) which was established upon better promises.” (Romans 7:1-14 with Hebrews 8:6b) The Law of Moses was never intended to continue to rule over the wife, in that He could neither justify her nor sanctify her, a work only to be done by....

We will center up on contrasting the Law of Moses with the New Covenant Law of Christ. We will look into the purpose and function of the Law of Moses, its effects, its limitations, its lawful use, Christ’s fulfillment of the Law of Moses, warnings to believers with entanglements in the Law of Moses, and the purposes and responsibilities of believers in Christ in the new Law of Liberty. Note: This teaching, for the most part assumes that the reader/listener is familiar with the Scriptural understanding of God’s salvation plan in total; consisting of both the event of regeneration/that birth of a new nature within and sealed for eternal life, referred to as justification, and then that which follows: The process of that new nature unto maturity, capacitated in worthiness of a greater eternal inheritance to co-rule as king and priest, described as sanctification.) THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. [Genesis 26:5] “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.” [Hebrews 11] The foundation and basis for the giving of the Mosaic Law to the descendants of Abraham was the Covenant God had made with him, later confirmed in Isaac, and Jacob/Israel. Abraham’s Covenant always had/has two groups in view, or two classes of descendants, a heavenly and an earthly, with their respective spheres of inheritance; the heavenly and the earthly. There have been, and still are ongoing, attempts to blend this appointed duality by either the replacing of Israel with a “spiritual Israel” (either by genocide or by theology) or by the forsaking of the formation of the New Man work by the Spirit/spirit, and trying to be “made perfect by the flesh” by going back under the Mosaic Law (Galatians 3:3). Both are wicked or misguided, and give much occasion for error and confusion; being in conflict with God’s salvation plan. But once God’s eternal plan for duality, that is concerning His 2 distinct groups, with 2 distinct inheritances is understood, the Scriptures then come more clearly into focus. Where the Gentile has entered into Covenant in Christ, it is referred to as entering into the “New Covenant”. New is a Scriptural term that is used as it defines from the old Covenant; that being the Mosaic Covenant given at Mount Sinai. It is a *term that will not be realized in its fullness until both groups, New man and Israel, have entered into it (Romans 11). Where, beginning in the Millennium, the one will enjoy the New Covenant inheritance and privileges of the true Tabernacle in the heavens....

ISRAEL'S MILLENNIAL KINGDOM (CHAPTER 17) - INCENTIVIZED TO OVERCOME SERIES VERSES: Jeremiah 31:31-34; Zechariah 14; Romans 11:26; Daniel 12:2-3; Revelation 19 STUDY NOTES: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2hp3x1mjnp7j1yy/AACEsM7ZqiVmZ4Svadnn1JA8a?dl=0 AUDIO: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8rs7hju4vm7ye2w/AAAFu3jPmfetCp20yevjTuxfa?dl=0 Subscribe to Receive Updates from For His Glory TX: http://eepurl.com/o7-J9 ISRAEL’S MILLENNIAL KINGDOM We have ministered before the Word as to God’s 2 peoples who are to be rescued from the Great Tribulation of the last days. And God did distinguish those two peoples (1) His Jewish “People” from (2) the New Man, in that in those last days He put a seal upon certain Jews that they would not be harmed in the last of the plagues to come upon the Earth. This distinguishing of the Jewish contingent was presented primarily from the Book of Revelation chapter 7 in the first 8 verses where the scene corresponds in detail with all other prophecies of continuation for future Israel. And then continuing on in that chapter, we are given a glimpse of what John saw at the end of that Tribulation Period, which is the New Man contingent, being made up of the caught up Man-child/first fruits joined by the harvest ingathering, all together now rejoicing, having been raised up and brought out from among living and dead men by rapture and resurrection. The two distinct groups, Jewish and Bride of Christ then chosen and then separately and distinctly rewarded for faithfulness for all to see, them being His heir representatives of the two realms of His Millennial Kingdom; earthly and heavenly. The 144,000 Jews of Revelation 7 living and sealed in the day of the great prince/Anti-Christ (Daniel 9:26,27) are like those in the day of Elisha. “And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.” Now after the securing of the 2 Peoples of God at the end of the Great Tribulation period that Jeremiah called “Jacob’s Trouble”, what is being brought into view is the Millennial Kingdom of Christ and the answering of God’s promises to Abraham “….in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” This, mostly having been forgotten by those Jews in the Days of Christ upon the Earth, was always God’s intent; to bless the Gentiles. (Genesis 12:3) Not unlike today, when Christians have forgot that God has promised to bless the Jews. So it is that Paul, in the 11th chapter of Romans, reminds us that not all Israel is hardened. Not in Elisha’s day, nor in Christ’s Day, nor in these; the last days. In that the Jews rejected the calling of the blessing of the Gentiles, God took it upon Himself in Jesus to bless them. So just as Abraham’s and Israel’s calling was out of the Gentile Nations, a special call unto Himself, so then was the New Man calling out of the Gentile Nations a special call “…to take out of them a people for His Name.” [Acts 15:14] Which answers to the “…blindness in part is happened to Israel… (so this out-gathering from the Gentiles) until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in… (in the Harvest toward the end of the Great Tribulation after which) … all Israel shall be saved.” And how shall they be saved? Paul quotes Isaiah 59…. “There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them (the Jewish people) when I shall take away their sins.” (Romans 11:25-27) This is Zechariah 14 and Revelation 19 fulfilled. Romans 11 is then also that further distinction of the Jewish contingent of Revelation chapter 7 that is later established in the Millennial period. Natural Israel, now spiritual, is not the Body of Christ and was distinguished then from the New Man, and now from the Gentile Nations left upon the Earth as well. Natural now SPIRITUAL Israel, will not lose its ethnic identity, but come into the purposes of their unique calling. This being the meaning of Paul’s question “…did God cast off his people?” And his emphatic answer “no”, and then his olive tree parable where he depicts current Israel broken off from, but predicts a future ingrafting into, with their restoration. (Romans 11:26-32) This passage then expressly denies the contention thatIsrael, in lieu of the Bride of Christ, has no future or continuance as a nation nor its Godly fullness of calling.“Now, if the fall of them(Israel)be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them be the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?….Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!” Not only......

THE MAN-CHILD/FIRST-FRUITS OFFERING (CHAPTER 16) - INCENTIVIZED TO OVERCOME SERIES VERSES: Daniel 9; Matthew 24; Luke 21:24,36; Revelation 2:26-27, 12; Hebrews 2:10 STUDY NOTES: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1lr1w23xyzbkm22/AAAQifQJbIiLXFGzl8ljL63Xa?dl=0 AUDIO: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/a52vyou1vavgk72/AACsfMvF19bS1Kdc90P8p8Aoa?dl=0 Subscribe to Receive Updates from For His Glory TX: http://eepurl.com/o7-J9 THE MAN-CHILD, FIRST-FRUITS, OFFERING “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” [Matthew 24:21] This Great Tribulation is within a 7 year Period in the last days which immediately precedes Jesus Christ, the Messiah’s Return to Earth to take possession of His Kingdom here and restore Israel to glory. This time frame comes from Daniel having “understood by books the number of years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.” That 70 years’ judgment of God on Israel was nearly complete when Daniel humbly and fervently contemplated Israel’s restoration, for which God gave him “…skill and understanding”. But the visions were not only of the limited restoration, but of the last days’ great restoration, with its players and events. They touched on the Messiah’s first Coming, and skipped over 2000 years until His Second Coming, with Israel’s complete restoration following. This is specifically to be understood in 70 weeks of seven years each, and that after the last 7 year period, with the determined desolation, then only would Israel finally be restored in earthly preeminence. (Daniel 9:2,22,24) That last 7 year period, wherein is desolation, starts with a covenant or pact between Israel and the great influential End Time prince discovered later to be the Anti-Christ. He is seen in Daniel 9:27 & 12:11. “And he (the last days’ prince) shall confirm the (7 year) covenant…” This prophetic word of that last days’ covenant with this prince/beast is in harmony with Isaiah’s prophetic word, “Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people (in the last days) which is in Jerusalem. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; (a pact with those who are supernaturally connected with Death and Hades, as they come up from Hades/the bottomless pit) when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves.…” [Isaiah 28:14-15] Now returning again and finishing Daniel 9:27… “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.…” Christ says the last days’ great tribulation like never before then comes on Jerusalem. This is in the midst, that is to say 3 ½ years from the beginning of the covenant, and will last 3 ½ years, which corresponds with Revelation 11:1-2. “And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles (Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled Luke 21:24): and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months (3½ yrs).” Daniel’s prophecies lay the groundwork for all Scriptural last days’ prophetic understanding. As Jesus confirms in that same discourse of Matthew 24 in the signs of His Return, He refers to Daniel’s recording of the last days event… “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of (or leading to desolation (destruction), spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place…” [Matthew 24:15] Abomination followed by destruction on Jerusalem is a signal of His imminent Return. Scripture repeatedly establishes this event occurring at the 3 ½ year period of Daniel’s last 7year period. The Book of Revelation expounds that last 7 year period from the 4th Chapter to the first of the 20th Chapter. And as Daniel defines that period as two 3 ½ year time frames divided by the prince’s breaking of that covenant, so John, being of the same Spirit, amplifies it, in that he connects the first 3 ½ years with the ministry of the Two Prophets. “And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.” (3 1/2 years) So it will be that when the covenant prince/anti-Christ emerges and breaks the covenant, he kills the Two Witnesses. “And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them...
