Holiness
The ecology of God is Holiness.
The ecology of Heaven is Holiness.
Holiness is supernatural as God is supernatural.
God is Holy and Perfect.
God says to each one of us, be Holy as I am Holy.
He says to us, be Perfect as I am Perfect.
Without Holiness no one can see God or live in His Presence.
Holiness is the only sustainable ecology.
We are all born into sin.
Sin is the opposite of Holiness.
In order for us to be Holy our sin must be eradicated.
The only one who can eradicate our sin is God Himself.
Christ having died for us and living in and thorough us
Is the only One who can eradicate our sin.
To have Christ living in us we must be Born Again.
To be Born Again we must be immersed (baptized) in the Spirit of God.
This is what happened to the 120 on The Day of Pentecost.
They received the Holy Spirit and were Born Again.
When you are Born Again, you are saved out of this world;
Washed clean by the blood of Christ Jesus; made Holy.
Now you must maintain this state of Holiness;
You must overcome this world by that same blood
And the word of your testimony.
This can only be accomplished through Christ in you.
On The Day of Pentecost, the 120 heard the sound
Of a rushing mighty wind.
Tongues of fire were seen on each of their heads.
They began speaking in languages that none of them knew.
They acted as if they were drunk,
To the point that those who were watching them had to be told
That they were not drunk from too much wine, it was only 9 am.
Through Christ in them they went on to change the world.
Christ in them was their hope of Glory, Eternal LIFE.
Christ in us is Eternal LIFE, in the here and now,
When our will is submitted to His Perfect will.
Eternal LIFE is living in Holiness, in the ecology of God.
Christ Jesus taught us that Eternal LIFE is to Know Him,
The Father, God.
Christ in us is God, the Holy Spirit, living in us.
The Father said that in the New Covenant,
He would put his law in our minds
And write it on our hearts;
That He would be our God and we would be His people;
That no longer would any man teach his neighbor,
Or his brother, saying,
'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me,
From the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord.
For I will forgive their wickedness
And will remember their sins no more.'
(Jeremiah 31:31-34)
Here God takes “knowing Him” out of the hands of man
And places it entirely in His own hands.
Anyone can “know” God,
If they allow Him to place His laws in their minds,
And write them upon their heart.
Christ In Us Is His Anointing In And Upon Us
The apostle John says:
But you have an anointing form the Holy One,
And all of you know the truth (Christ is the Truth).
(1 John 2:20)
He goes on to say:
As for you, the anointing you received from him
(on your personal Day of Pentecost)
Remains in you (forever),
And you do not need anyone to teach you.
But as his anointing teaches you about all things
And as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—
Just as it has taught you, remain in him. (1 John 2:27)
In spite of Christ in us, we must remain in Him;
We can still choose to do our own will which leads to death.
The Scripture teaches us that there is a way
That seems right to a man
But the end thereof is death.
However, if we allow Christ to live in and through us
We have eternal LIFE
In the here and now; we can live in the ecology of God;
Holiness, in the here and now.
Pentecost: A Never Ending Revival
The Day of Pentecost began an never ending Revival,
That God brings to every generation;
Every generation has the opportunity to choose to enter into it
Or not.
Just as every Israelite in the time of Christ Jesus
Had the opportunity to receive Christ Jesus
And His Anointing poured out on The Day of Pentecost.
In every generation it has been as Christ Jesus said:
Enter through the narrow gate.
For wide is the gate and broad is the road
That leads to destruction,
And many enter through it.
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life,
And only a few find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
My sheep listen to my voice;
I know them, and they follow me.
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish;
No one can snatch them out of my hand.
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all;
No one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
I and the Father are one. John 10:27-30)
On the Day of Pentecost those who had heard the voice of God,
Waited for what He had promised, and received it.
This has been true in every subsequent generation.
God's offer of eternal LIFE is absolutely inclusive,
It excludes no one;
It is for every tribe, tongue and nation;
It is for anyone who wills;
Anyone who responds to the voice of God
Continually speaking to them.
The Garden of Eden
In the beginning, Holiness existed in The Garden of Eden.
Holiness was the ecology of The Garden of Eden, Paradise.
Holiness is the only state of being that is sustainable.
Without Holiness all is hopeless and destine to die eternally.
Holiness is the state of being of Eternal LIFE.
[The word LIFE in all caps means Eternal LIFE.]
Adam and Eve lost their Holiness
And were expelled from Paradise.
Then at the perfect time in history,
God sent His Christ, Jesus, to restore the Holiness man lost,
For those who would receive Him.
Holiness is restored to man in only one way;
By being washed in the blood of Christ by faith;
By Christ living in a person
And that person yielding their life to Christ,
Ultimately, becoming ONE with Christ;
Then and only then is there a hope of Holiness;
A hope of Glory;
Only then is Holiness restored; Paradise restored.
Only then is God created ecology restored;
The only sustainable ecology.
Only then does the Kingdom of God come to earth as in Heaven.
In Heaven, which is the Kingdom of God, Holiness is its ecology
And Glory its atmosphere.
Holiness, found in God alone, is the only sustainable ecology;
It is an eternal ecology; Eternal LIFE.
Man's view of an environmental ecology on earth,
While well intended on its face,
Is woefully inadequate ultimately, as foretold by Scripture.
In the end, God lays waste the earth and its inhabitants,
He devastates the earth He created as He puts an end to sin.
Only after this; after sin is completely eradicated;
Does He restore His ecology of Holiness,
In a thousand year millennium.
The ecology of God is Holiness;
Christ in you the hope of Glory;
Christ Jesus, the Way, the Truth and the LIFE; Love and Light.
The Way, the Truth and the LIFE (Christ Jesus)
Sustains God's ecology.
This ecology of God is supernatural, in the Spirit of God,
In His Christ.
God is the only LIFE; He is LIFE itself; He is self-existent;
He is supernatural.
God is the giver of natural life, and of supernatural LIFE.
God created the earth as a part of His creation.
God created the earth as the place for His Paradise for mankind.
God created Paradise, a specific place on the earth, for mankind.
However, this was not a natural place;
It was a supernatural place.
This place was absent of sin.
Sin having been introduced in Heaven
With the sin and fall of Satan;
Was absent from Paradise.
The ecology of Paradise was the Way, the Truth and the LIFE;
Love and Light;
God Himself (Christ Jesus) was the ecology of Paradise
As He is the ecology of Heaven.
In the middle of Paradise was the River of LIFE.
Along side the River of LIFE was The Tree of LIFE.
The River of LIFE contains the Water of LIFE,
The essence of God,
Which is Eternal LIFE and sustains natural life.
LIFE is eternal as God is eternal.
Natural life, is temporary and destined to end
At the time proscribed by God.
Adam and Eve, the first two humans,
Were placed by God in Paradise.
They enjoyed the Garden of God and it's ecology, Holiness;
They drank the Water of LIFE from the River of LIFE
And ate from the Tree of LIFE.
They enjoyed intimate communion with God.
The ecology of planet earth is a natural, biological ecology,
And, marvelous as it is,
Will cease at the time appointed by God.
When man, Adam and Eve, sinned, “Time” began;
“Time” being the measure of time
Allotted by God for sin to exist.
Since sin is unsustainable, God gave it a limited time to exist.
Within this limited “Time,” God sent His Son, Christ Jesus,
To seek and save those who would receive Him;
Those who would submit to the Spirit of Christ;
Receive His Anointing,
And allow Christ to live in and through them,
Restoring Holiness, God's ecology, in a limited way,
On earth as in Heaven.
The final restoration of Holiness occurs
At the second coming of Christ Jesus.
At His second coming,
He destroys the devil and all who followed him,
And restores Holiness to the earth for a thousand years.
The Bride of Christ, those who received Christ Jesus,
And allowed Him to live in and through them
Comprise the New Jerusalem, The City of God,
The eternal dwelling place of God,
A place of Perfection; where Holiness is its ecology forever.
The Work Of Man
At the second coming of Christ Jesus
All the work of man is turned to rubble.
The achievements of man, that he takes such pride in,
Are of no value to God.
The ways of God are higher than the ways of man,
As the heavens are above the earth.
The ecology of God is higher than the ecology of man,
As the heavens are above the earth.
The only thing that matters to God is what is in the heart.
Only what is in the heart of a man has eternal value.
If a man knows Christ Jesus his destination is Heaven;
If a man does not know Christ Jesus his destination is hell.
However, anyone who calls upon the Lord;
Anyone who says to Him, be my Lord,
I repent of my sin, I submit my life to You,
Will be like the one thief on the cross at Calvary;
He will be with the Christ Jesus in Paradise.
The State Of Man
Every living person is born into sin;
Into an unsustainable ecology of mind and spirit
Under the control of the devil.
The devil, whose destination is The Lake of fire,
And eternal damnation,
Along with all who follow him.
This is also the destination of the earth.
God ultimately creates a new heaven and a new earth
Untouched by sin;
A Perfect ecology, for His Bride, The New Jerusalem,
The City of God.
Every man without Christ living in and through them,
Is of the devil and deceived.
It is as Christ Jesus told the Jews of His day:
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said,
'If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.'
They answered him, 'we are Abraham's descendants
And have never been slaves of anyone.
How can you say that we shall be set free?
Jesus replied,
'I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
Now a slave has no permanent place in the family,
But a son belongs to it forever.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
I know you are Abraham's descendants.
Yet you are ready to kill me,
Because you have no room for my word.
I am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence,
And you do what you have heard from your father.'
'Abraham is our father,' they answered.
'If you were Abraham's children,' said Jesus,
'Then you would do the things Abraham did.
As it is, you are determined to kill me,
A man who has told you the truth that I heard from God.
Abraham did not do such things.
You are doing the things your own father does.'
'We are not illegitimate children,' they protested.
'The only father we have is God himself.'
Jesus said to them, 'If God were your Father,
You would love me, for I came from God and now am here.
I have not come on my own; but he sent me.
Why is my language not clear to you?
Because you are unable to hear what I say.
You belong to your father, the devil,
And you want to carry out your father's desire.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
Not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him.
When he lies, he speaks his native language,
For he is a liar and the father of lies.
Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!
Can any of you prove me guilty of sin?
If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me?
He who belongs to God hears what God says.
The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.
(John 8:31-47)
The Leash Of “Time”
The apostle John has told us that the whole world
Is in the devil's control,
However, God has put him on a leash called “Time;”
He has a limited amount of “Time” to be in control.
The devil understands this clearly.
At the second coming of Christ Jesus he looses control forever.
At the fall of Adam and Eve, God instituted “Time.”
The apostle Peter has told us
That a day to the Lord is as a thousand years.
God has worked with mankind for six days, or 6,000 years
And it is nearly time for the day of rest
Or the 1,000 year millennium.
God is a God of absolute precision.
“Time” is not flexible, it is predetermined by God to the second.
This is the same God
Who knows the number of hairs on your head;
The same God who numbered your days before you were born;
The same God who knew you before conception.
We live in a world whose father is the devil,
Who masquerades and an angel of light;
A world where lying is it's native language
And murder its way of life;
A world under the control of the devil
Whose days are numbered and about to end;
A world destined for The Lake of Fire,
Where it's natural ecology will cease.
However, the world at this time
Is also constrained by God's Holy Spirit.
When the Holy Spirit is taken away
Then the true nature of the world without God comes into being.
The devil reveals his Antichrist
And demands that everyone worship his “image.”
This is brought about by rebellion and apostasy
Within the Church of God.
The Antichrist then begins killing every Christian,
And God begins His Great Tribulation.
But for those who belong to Christ Jesus,
We look forward to a Heavenly ecology
Where sin does not exist; where Holiness is its ecology;
Where Christ Jesus rules and reigns in love, peace and joy,
Forever. Hallelujah!
The 2000 Year Warning
Christ Jesus warned that:
No one knows about that day or hour,
Not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
As it was in the days of Noah,
So it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
For in the days before the flood,
People were eating and drinking,
Marrying ad giving in marriage,
Up to the day Noah entered the ark;
And they knew nothing about what would happen
Until the flood came and took them away.
That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
(Matthew 24:36-39)
From this warning of Christ Jesus,
And in every subsequent generation,
Those who knew their God
Have been warning anyone who would listen
That a day was coming that would put and end to “Time.”
For 2,000 years this warning has gone forth.
It is no surprise that the generation upon which it will fall,
Is deaf and blind to its reality, as in the days of Noah.
