And, how does one create the picture of the “act” of willing a blessing, or bestowing glory and honor upon the Son of God?
We are living in a very opinionated society. A person’s opinion shapes his or her reality even amidst flawed information. The same is true of the Body of Believers.

One of the amazing things about Adonai is that He observes boundaries we set for ourselves. The Lord will not step over barriers unless He is invited. It was difficult for me to understand how our behavior spells out what we are in the Spirit realm. When God saw righteous Abraham live a different lifestyle than his neighbors, the Lord was intrigued with his response to life and the same was true with Noah. We can see the established covenants with these men, that are still enforced today. And, again we can see how Adonai used the meekness of Mary and Joseph as well as the reverence of God by Cornelius, even though this man was non-Jewish.

Cornelius as having a fear of God and His righteousness as being accepted by God (Acts 10:35).

(New Living Translation Study Bible Text)
35 In every nation, he accepts those who fear him and do what is right. 36 This is the message of Good News for the people of Israel—that there is peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
Acts 10:35-36

Just as our LORD accepts those who fear him and do what is right, men who disrespect the Spirit of GRACE creates a magnetic field for evil spirits. The Bible calls them “children of disobedience,” who at the end of this age will observe the wrath of God.

(NLT Study Bible Text,)
¹ Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. ² Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. ³ For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.
⁵ So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. ⁶ Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming.
Colossians 3:1-6

The real servants of Christ will warn His people of the lie that the only function of Grace is to cover sin, at the same time the spirit of the Antichrist will deny the power of the Holy Spirit to work Change in the believer’s lives. Real revival will create the image of the Messiah in the earth. When non-believers witness the power of God falling on the Sinner, watching them mortify their sinful nature, disrobing themselves of the old man and turning to Christ, then true revival will triumph over darkness. What offends the World is when Christians do the same as sinners, then call themselves better than the sinner, is an insult to the lost World’s intelligence.

(Complete Word Study Bible Dictionary)
⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
⁷ Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
⁸ For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
⁹ (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Ephesians 5:6-9

The Image of Christ

1504. εἰκών eikṓn; gen. eikónos, fem. noun from eíkō (G1503), to be like, resemble. A representation, an image, as of a man, made of gold, silver, or other material (Rom. 1:23); a monarch’s likeness impressed on a coin (Matt. 22:20; Mark 12:16; Luke 20:24); image, resemblance, likeness (Rom. 8:29; 1 Cor. 11:7; 15:49; 2 Cor. 3:18; 4:4; Col. 1:15; 3:10; Heb. 10:1). Eikṓn sometimes may be used as syn. with homoíōma (G3667), and both may refer to earthly copies and resemblances of the archetypal things in the heavens…

There is no greater evidence that the spirit of the Antichrist is at work in the Church is when we hear the message about believers should never talk about Hell or anything negative. So we only talk about goodness. While this sounds like “Faith Teaching,” the Children of God, must produce a particular type of fruit that reveals The Spirit of the Messiah, fruit producing the nature of goodness and righteousness.

(AMPC)
17 Hide not Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress; O answer me speedily!
18 Draw close to me and redeem me; ransom and set me free because of my enemies [lest they glory in my prolonged distress]!
19 You know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor; my adversaries are all before You [fully known to You].
Psalms 69:17-19

The point we are trying to make is that the evil within the earth is headed for judgment and those who are not in God will be thrown into the lake of fire. But Adonai, LORD of the Hebrews knew that the Law (Torah) hadn’t any power to help Israel to stay faithful. God knew the world needed a helper, so The LORD sent from Heaven, help in the power of the Holy Spirit empowering men and women to animate the nature of Jesus Christ Of Nazareth.

Recently, much has been said in the news about volcano eruptions. While we might witness volcanoes from afar off, unfortunately, these events are very similar to the Biblical Lake of Fire.
I am the least in the body of Christ to be judgmental and I may not always get things right, but please don’t be angry with me if I show an interest of you avoiding such a horrible eternity.
When I was a young unsaved man, I remember a fire breaking out in a nightclub. As I watched the nightclub manager shut the doors, something came over me to ask him if everybody had gotten out safely. The manager looked at me as though I was crazy, nevertheless, we both entered back into the burning building and found a lady overtaken by smoke lying on the floor.
Let me say this carefully, but I believe that God placed His hand on me to convince the manager we needed to go into the burning building and search for victims. Although to an outsider it was a foolish thing to do, and I concur; the lesson to be learned is that God cares. That lady may have been a believer’s daughter or sister and He allowed her to escape the flames. He gave her a second chance. I praise my God who Cares for every single individual. Hallelujah![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8093″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d” title=”Man with God inside”][vc_column_text](Complete Jewish Bible)
²⁴ Someone who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words—and the word you are hearing is not my own but that of the Father who sent me.
²⁵ “I have told you these things while I am still with you. ²⁶ But the Counselor, the Ruach HaKodesh, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything; that is, he will remind you of everything I have said to you.
John 14:24-26

The love for Yeshua is not a Human social need, it’s more of becoming one with God actually becoming apart or immersed into Adonai. Then we will become The People of HIS Presence.

Man in partnership with The Holy Breath or Wind of God is the New creature

(New Living Translation Study Bible Text,)

²² They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin.²³ Anyone who hates me also hates my Father.²⁴ If I hadn’t done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still hate me and my Father.²⁵ This fulfills what is written in their Scriptures: ‘They hated me without cause.’
²⁶ “But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me. ²⁷ And you must also testify about me because you have been with me from the beginning of my ministry.
John 15:22-27

(New Living Translation (NLT) Study Bible Notes)
15:26: But I will send you the Advocate (or Comforter, or Encourager, or Counselor; Greek reads Paraclete)—the Spirit of truth: See notes on 14:16-17. Like a legal advocate, the Holy Spirit counsels and protects Jesus’ followers.

15:26: dparaklētos (3875) John 16:7
15:26: cf: John 14:17; 1 Jn 5:7
15:27: Disciples are not alone when they testify about Christ (Matt 28:20). The Spirit accompanies them, providing the words to say (Matt 10:19-20).
15:27: cf: John 21:24; 1 Jn 1:2; 4:14

Warning From Jesus concerning Spiritual Warfare.

16:1-2: Jesus had outlined the coming conflicts (15:18-25) so that the disciples would not abandon their faith (literally be caused to stumble). The greatest obstacle his disciples would face was to stumble and renounce their faith before their Jewish opponents (see Matt 23:34; Luke 6:22), especially during the dark days ahead (see 12:35; 1 Jn 2:9-11).

érga (G2041), works, the two being mutually exclusive. God’s grace affects man’s sinfulness and not only forgives the repentant sinner but brings joy and thankfulness to him.

It changes the individual to a new creature without destroying his individuality (2 Cor. 5:17; Eph. 2:8, 9).

The Word for GRACE and its definition in the Bible

(I) Cháris, when received by faith, transforms man and causes him to love and to seek after the righteousness of God. Cháris is initially regeneration, the work of the Holy Spirit in which spiritual life is given to man and by which his nature is brought under the dominion of righteousness. The maintenance of this condition requires an unbroken and immense supply of grace. Grace remains constant in, and basic to, a believer’s fight without against the devil and his struggle within against sin. Renewal is stimulated and impelled by God’s illuminating and strengthening of the soul and will continue and increase so long as the soul perseveres. God’s grace ensures that those who have been truly regenerated will persevere until the end of life. This entire work is called sanctification, a work of God “whereby we are renewed in the whole man and are enabled more and more to die daily unto sin and to live unto righteousness” as is stated by the Westminster Shorter Catechism (Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 4:16; Eph. 4:23; Col. 3:10).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”9591″ img_size=”medium” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d” title=”Lying about the purpose of the Holy Spirit.”][vc_column_text](Complete Word Study Bible)
The Last Times
¹ This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
² For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
³ Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
⁴ Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
⁵ Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2 Timothy 3:1-5

Our Lord warned His Church about the Antichrist or the spirit of the Antichrist, who will precede the person the Bible describes as the Man of Sin. The Word of God is clear about the real danger of false prophets who sound great and make a lot of sense, but this movement is the result of the Church making adjustments for social acceptance.
For example, the spirit of the Antichrist doesn’t mind Church-goers gathering together for an excellent program, because by nature, the human species is similar to pack-animals; we love to congregate. However, the spirit of the Antichrist will systematically introduce teachings that are very similar or complementary to Grace and Love; thus people who are tolerant of sin and sinners will pack out the building.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”9592″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][vc_column_text]More importantly, our Redeemer didn’t die on the Cross so we could have good Church socials, Jesus was in the act of vindicating those whose hope is in Him. Our Lord and Savior died to rescue humanity from the horrors of eternal judgment, a subject that is hardly mentioned from pulpits today.
You may be asking: “What’s the problem with that?”
When boundaries are unclear, and consequences are not spelled out, many will push the limits and forget about any effects at all that could result from their self-destructive behavior.
Conventional preparations should include precautions and warnings that might qualify as significant information. For instance, forgetting to mention Judgement Day and the Lake of Fire mentioned in the Bible seem to be often unconsidered. The Truth is that there are two resurrections; one is good news, the other is a horrifying reality.

(CJB)
27 Also he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Don’t be surprised at this; because the time is coming when all who are in the grave will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done good to a resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to a resurrection of judgment. 30 I can’t do a thing on my own. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is right; because I don’t seek my own desire, but the desire of the one who sent me.

Forever and Forever and Forever

(Amplified Bible – AMP)
10 And the devil who had deceived them was hurled into the lake of fire and burning brimstone (sulfur), where the beast (Antichrist) and false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night, forever and ever.
Revelation 20:10

Good News!
This deception won’t happen to you because you have an opportunity to counterbalance the consequences against the outcome. I needed both, the good news and the hard facts. If you are like me, please allow me to pray for you, right here on this blog, that you will have a pure heart for God. The Bible doesn’t teach that one must be in fear to serve God, but it does show us that one should have a reverential respect for Him. I believe it is the “awe” of God that is missing in some believers’ hearts.

As a minister, when I found out that Yeshua, (the Hebrew name for Jesus) will judge pastors for what they allow in their congregations, I thanked God for the hard truth, because we are all still growing and learning how to “listen to the Spirit and understand what He is saying to the churches.”
