To the Household of God, Israel, and ALL those who go with... may you ALL have peace!

In another thread, I commented that although I wasn't completely sure WHY, I do believe that the information I am being given now and share with you all is somehow different than it has ever been before. By different, I don't necessarily mean in content, although now that I look at it, that could be true. I mean different... in purpose. That it is information we NEED... at this time. You can read my comments about that in Post 1773 here:

This morning, I received an email with questions from a dear one, the response to which I am SURE I am to share with you ALL. The gist of the "question... and response I was given to share... are as follows:



We can cleanse the inside (of OUR "cup"... or the "vessel" that holds the SPIRIT... the "treasure"... IN it - 2 Corinthians 4:7; Genesis 2:7), by:

1. REMOVING the "dirt" we KNOW is there (hate, anger, deceit, haughtiness, arrogance, spite, strife, etc., which lead to murders, adulteries, envies, jealousies, contentions, etc.)... and CAN remove (because perhaps WE can't - it might be TOO instilled, TOO entrenched, and so we need HELP!)... as well as...

2. Asking HIM to cleanse us of those things we are aware of but can't remove by ourselves... as well as...

3. Those we are NOT aware of... bring them to light... indeed, HELP us SEE even into the farthest "corners" of our "houses"!) so AS to SEE and remove... or ask for help to remove... any "dirt" that might be hiding/hidden... THERE... that perhaps we DON'T (yet) see... so that we ASK forgiveness for so as to have THOSE covered over/blotted out... as well as...

4. Asking him to "come into us" and HELP us cleanse our "houses", indeed, clean them out FOR us... as well as...

5. Asking him to give us the FATHER'S spirit... HIS blood/breath/seed... which, by coming INTO us constitutes us as BEING clean (because [the spirit of] God and Christ CANNOT dwell in an UNCLEAN "vessel")... which indwelling then allows us to become adopted and taken in as SONS... which will help us MAINTAIN a clean "house"... by means of the knowledge that He IS dwelling IN us... AND the knowledge that we are His SONS (and so, can act as a "reminder" to keep our "houses" clean!)...

... so that...

1. Once they, the Son... and THROUGH the Son, the Father... make THEIR "home/dwelling" IN us (because our vessel is now CLEAN on the INSIDE)... we can...

2. Bear/produce... and MANIFEST... MORE... GOOD "fruit" (John 15:1-7)... the fruit of GOD'S spirit... which is love, joy, peace, faith, kindness, mildness, goodness, long-suffering... and (importantly for the matter that the dear one was asking about - maintaining a clean vessel)... self-control!

That does NOT mean we will not sin. So long as we are in vessels that are our ENEMIES... and the flesh IS our enemy, make NO mistake - it comes from and belongs to THIS world, NOT God's kingdom... we will sin. That enmity between our flesh and spirit will continue... until we are RELEASED from this vessel.

BUT... PRAISE JAH... we have a SAVIOR... and an Advocator, Pleader, Comforter, Paraclete, the HOLY One of Israel, JAHESHUA, the Chose One of JAH (MischaJah):

"My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father— [Jesus] Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John 2:1, 2

That One gave HIS life... to compensate for OURS. WE... deserve death. NOT because we are bad, per se, but because we DO sin. We, because of the vessels we were sold into by Adham... sin against universal law! These sins bring us OUT of sync... with "good" and with "life"... throwing into "bad"... and death. The wage... price/cost... OF sin.

By means of the life and blood of the HOLY One of Israel, JAHESHUA, the Chosen One of JAH (MischaJah), however... WE can have OUR sins not just covered OVER... but BLOTTED OUT! So long as we have FAITH in that One... and IN the "atoning" value of his blood; which faith we DEMONSTRATE... by LISTENING to HIM and doing what HE says to do, even the LEAST thing... so that we can be BROUGHT to cleanliness, by the indwelling by him and God... so as to make us SONS... then we can be saved... FROM the wage of our sin:

"We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as [Jesus] did." 1 John 2:3-6

If, however, we merely SAY we "believe" in him... but do not DO what he SAYS, even the LEAST thing... then we are STILL in the darkness... because we are STILL lying! To him, to others... and... to ourselves!

"To OBEY... is BETTER... than to sacrifice!"

What many of us MISS... is our dear Lord's words that:

"He that is faithful in what is LEAST... is faithful... in MUCH."

In that light, what of the COMMANDMENT at Revelation 22:17? I wanted to share that, again, but cannot. I must leave it between my Lord... and those who (claim to) hear... TO hear... and DO... what the Spirit SAYS such ones are to do.

I hope this helps!

Again, peace to you all!

Your servant, as I am servant to ALL those of the Household of God, Israel, and all those who go with... and a slave of Christ,
