2Timothy 2:14-19
14 Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. 17 And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, 18 who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ] depart from iniquity.”
God tells us to call those things that aren't, as though they are. Our power is in our words, and we back them with our actions. Faith without works are dead the bible tells. On almost every street corner in our neighborhoods, people are talking about everything, but the word of God. God asks, that we talk about Him in the morning, noon, and night. He spoke our world into existence in six days and asks that we speak life into His kingdom. Verse 14 says, not to strive about words that don't profit the kingdom of God or ourselves. We must be diligent in our pursuit to God, with words and actions that please Him. Verses 16-17 says, "But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. 17 And their message will spread like cancer. We have diseased ourselves by not adhering to God's word, spreading whatever truth or lie that man can conceive. (Job 15:5-6) "For your iniquity teaches your mouth, And you choose the tongue of the crafty. 6 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; Yes, your own lips testify against you." (James 3:6-10) " And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so." God says, His word be true and every man a liar. We have in our world both Angels and demons, that we have been placed in the middle of. We must now call upon the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We are playing with death out here and must train in God's word mind, body, and spirit to succeed in all areas of our lives. Hymenaeus and Philetus was like this the scripture says, overthrowing the faith of some. We get in debates and arguments over God's word and He only asks, that we love one another. Verse 19 says, " Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ] depart from iniquity.” Shun idle talk.
(Psalms 31:20) "You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues."

Raise Up
2 Timothy 2:8-13
Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, 9 for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 This is a faithful saying:
Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, 9 for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 This is a faithful saying:
For if we died with Him,
We shall also live with Him.
12 If we endure,
We shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him,
He also will deny us.
13 If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
He cannot deny Himself."
We shall also live with Him.
12 If we endure,
We shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him,
He also will deny us.
13 If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
He cannot deny Himself."
I became poor that you might become rich, I came to give life and life more abundantly. Owe no one anything but love, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. These blessings and more Jesus came to give. But our early ancestors minds just wouldn't let them believe. They even believed they were serving God, while wanting to crucify His Son and others who spoke in His name. The word of God is not chained, Paul, try to get them to understand. It is freedom to live and praise God, to multiply blessings, and receive healing and most of all, to receive true love. Our world can't go on being divided, offensive to one another, and believing our pride is going to get us into heaven. Our world is disturbed today, because, we won't come in agreement with God, one heart, one mind, one spirit. God gives us commandments to live, so we can help each other as brothers and sisters be blessed on earth and receive eternal bliss.. He's the vine and we're the branch, and without Him we can do nothing. That might be why we see our world the way it is today. God has the power to raise the dead, and the power to drive us to succeed. But if we won't work the fruits of the spirit, as He commands, we're useless to Him. (2Timothy 2:21) "Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work." It is only doing the opposite of how we act and treat one another today. Verses 11-13 says, "This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.13 If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself." God is going to get His way, weather we obey as His children or not. He cannot deny Himself as we do the same. God's word is true and faithful, it will go out and do, as He tells it to do. Raise up.
(Isaiah 54:13) "And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children."
Blessings to all who rises up in the name of Christ,

We've Been Inlisted
2 Timothy 2:2:1-7
"You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. 3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. 5 And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. 7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things."
The Lord has enlisted us to be good soldiers in Jesus Christ by His grace. We must also commit to this as faithful men, as His grace gives us power to endure. God is telling His children We are in an war, a war with satan, and the only way to outwit him is with the fruits of the spirit. As satan is out to seduce us with fleshly pleasures, we must also seduce him back with love. This kind of love that can only be taught by the word of God to work. Living sacrifices we are, to reasonably serve Him our Father. God has 7 billion children and we all our brothers and sisters that He wants home through eternity. However, if we don't embrace the fact that mother Eve bit into death, and unleashed a spiritual realm of demons into God's earth, they are going to destroy us mind, body, and soul. We are in a world of evil, and only by God's grace will we endure hardship like a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Mother Eve had a choice and we too have a choice to believe the word of God. Verse 4 says, no one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life. We are in this world but not of it. The entire world lies under the sway of satan, and only God's word can bring us out. (Mark 8:34-35 Amplified) "If anyone intends to come after Me, let him deny himself-forget, ignore, disown, lose sight of himself and his own interests- and take up his cross and follow with Me. For whoever wants to save his (higher...) life will lose (it)...and whoever gives up his life for My sake and the Gospel's will save (it)." We are trying to save our lives, our minds, our bodies, our spirits. satan and his army roam this earth as roaring lions, seeking, whom they may destroy. We first have to connect with God lovingly, then connect with each other to see our way into life and life eternal. God made a promise to our father Abraham, that his descendants might prosper and inherit the earth. However, now God must see us first put our faith into this promise, loving Him and others as He commands. Verses 5-7 says, " And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. 7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things." We've been enlisted.
(2Timothy 2:20) "But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor."

Draw Close To Him
Isaiah 1:27-31
"Zion shall be redeemed with justice,
And her penitents with righteousness.
28 The destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together,
And those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the terebinth trees
Which you have desired;
And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens
Which you have chosen.
30 For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades,
And as a garden that has no water.
31 The strong shall be as tinder,
And the work of it as a spark;
Both will burn together,
And no one shall quench them."
The United States was built on the word of God and God is going to see to it that it stands in the End. He commands righteousness and justice for all. We have destroyed ourselves and almost the name of America the land of the free. God intends on having everyone of His children free and praising Him, and we are here believing everyone should praise us. satan is doing his work on us and if we don't stand up to him, we are going to go down with him. Verses 27-28 "Zion shall be redeemed with justice, And her penitents with righteousness. 28 The destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together, And those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed." Only by walking and talking with the Lord will we be able to set ourselves free. God says, the whole world lays under the sway of satan.
If our dreams and desires don't coincide with God's doctrine and will, were going to be some embarrassed individuals, today and on judgment day. We are fading mind, body, and spirit without God's word. We are in a world that most carry their feelings and emotions on their shoulders. We must let God build us in His word and tell us who we are to Him, this will enable us to fight satan with all we've got. God doesn't tell us to put on the whole armor for nothing. He commands love and we must fight the good fight of faith to lay it down in our world. Draw close to HIM.
(Romans 4:19-20) "And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God."

Lets Give God Rest
Isaiah 1:21-26
"How the faithful city has become a harlot!
It was full of justice;
Righteousness lodged in it,
But now murderers.
22 Your silver has become dross,
Your wine mixed with water.
23 Your princes are rebellious,
And companions of thieves;
Everyone loves bribes,
And follows after rewards.
They do not defend the fatherless,
Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
As I continue to speak for myself as in the earlier verses, my city of Los Angeles, looks to be a harlot. It was probably once a time when we had better justice here. However, as verses 21-23 says, We now mix with murderers, are money can buy us nothing, and we water down our liquors and wines, to increase our profits. Our leaders and dignitaries refuse to bring the word of God into our system to reduce the tension. And most all love a bribe, and are seeking after rewards against God. True love plays no part in our hearts or minds, and we've positioned ourselves to seek fleshly desires only. Just as we have gangs and others seeking vengeance upon one another. God, also has an wrecking crew of Angels that's bent on having love, justice, and righteousness in God's lands. They will also do whatever it takes to enforce it, even kill. Verses 24-26, "Therefore the Lord says, The Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, “Ah, I will rid Myself of My adversaries, And take vengeance on My enemies. 25 I will turn My hand against you, And thoroughly purge away your dross, And take away all your alloy. 26 I will restore your judges as at the first, And your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.” Only God can bring us the peace He wants, and the peace we deserve, with or without us. (Hebrews 10:12-13) " But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified." (Acts 7:49-50) "Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. What house will you build for Me? says the Lord, Or what is the place of My rest? 50 Has My hand not made all these things?" Become a faithful city and lets give God rest.
(Hebrews 4:1-3) "Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. 3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:
(John 10:3 Amplified) " The sheep listen to (the Shepherd's) voice and heed it; and He calls His own sheep by name and brings (leads) them out."

The Lord Has Spoken
Isaiah 1:13-20
Bring no more futile sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
14 Your New Moons and your appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of blood.
Bring no more futile sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
14 Your New Moons and your appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of blood.
16 “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
Cease to do evil,
17 Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke the oppressor;
Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
Cease to do evil,
17 Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke the oppressor;
Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.
18 “Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
Says the Lord,

19 If you are willing and obedient,

20 But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
God wants His children to come together in one mind, one heart, and one spirit. Our world and most churches are doing their own routines, and it must stop. We are letting spirits cling to us, that are telling us it is alright to act this way or that way. God asks, that we not become like an wave in the sea, tossing to and fro, believing we will be blessed by our actions. We all bleed red, the same red blood that Christ shed for us, that we might pick up our crosses and fight the good fight of faith to love all. (Romans 13:8) "Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law." If God is saying, this is all we owe one another as brothers and sisters in Christ, why are we taking His words out of context, stealing, killing, and destroying each other, some in the name of God? God is love and we must impart that love on Him and one another, if we want Him to draw near. Verse 14 says, He is weary of bearing our self-centered attitudes, rituals, and prayers. Verse 15 says, Our hands are full of blood. We can't go on believing we can figure out peace without God. He says, He is the vine and we are His branches, and without Him we can do nothing. It is He and satan who operate our world and it is a war going on between the two of them as I speak. We must choose whom we will serve, either love or hate. God is love and He tells how to operate in that love 24/7. It is up to us to turn from every evil way, that hinders us from connecting to God. Verse 19-20 says, If we are willing and obedient, we shall eat the good of the land; But if we refuse and rebel, we shall be devoured by His word. The Lord has Spoken.
(Matthew 15:8-9) "‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
Blessings to all who obey the words of God,
