# 14 Success for a ChristianNovember 1, 2007
Article By: Tom Demeter Success in "This World" of the Anti-god Going back
to the very beginning, man was free in the garden of Eden.
When man “sinned,” he lost his eternal life and God cast him out from
Paradise. Man by choice became a
slave to the Anti-god, who
is the “god of this world” 2Cor.4:4, called Satan the devil Jn.8:44.
From this point on including now, man is looking for eternal life,
security, freedom and prosperity in many different ways.
Every one of us is on this quest to find paradise and eternal life,
consciously or unconsciously. Enslaved
humanity, and as individual slaves, we all
are trying to escape from poverty, to prosperity,
and from there to freedom,
using our knowledge to turn it into our personal
“beliefs.” It
takes “faith”
to act on our beliefs to succeed. The more faith we have, the more we will obey God’s
“laws” the more successful we become. Since
we are all dying like Adam, success in this life is to SAVE our life
from the forces of evil. The
KEY to our
success is “vision,
” our “imagination”
we hold front of our mind’s eyes.
This vision gives us the motivation to be logical
to obey God’s laws, by
setting goals, making plans how we will act or work out, and materialize our
vision. This is how successful man
learn to create from nothing a tangible physical substance of reality.
Our Creator,
Jesus our Christ Eph.3:9 use this “process
of success” to teach us His “sacrificial love”
Jn.15:13. To succeed,
we must “sacrifice” by getting
an education the knowledge of God’s laws.
We must learn through trial and error, and failures how the laws operate
in our third dimensional realm. Success
requires determination, creativity, dedication,
patience, endurance of failures, for we learn “good” through
“evil.” Since
man is
“carnal” or
dying, SUCCESS
is defined
by how
affectively one
can SAVE,
enlarge, protect
and preserve
this physical
life.
The religious among us realize that there are other dimensions and existence of other beings besides us. Those who have knowledge of the Creator, know that there are angels, who were created a “little higher” Heb.2:7 than the human kind Gen.1:11, who live in the fourth dimension. Then there is our Creator who is “much better than the angels” or “higher in kind,” and delves in the fifth dimension Heb.1:4. Since our Creator “hidden” Himself and the truth Mat.13:35, behind the Anti-god, the religious and their priests can be divided between two groups. The “many” Mat.7:13, who worship or “obey” the Anti-god, Satan or the angels in the fourth (4th) dimension, and the “few” Mat.7:14 who obey the Creator who is in the fifth (5th) dimension. Success
to Christians,
Who Obey
the “Gospel of Faith”
To be
successful in this world, one must
“align himself” either with the Anti-god, or the Creator.
Our Creator gave power to rule humanity
to the Anti-god, in this age.
This is why the “many,”
must worship the Anti-god. Since
the Anti-god has “no truth in
him” Jn.8:44, his system and his
leaders are “lawless,” and operate in confusion with instructions and
commands as tyrants, called “iniquity”
Mat.7:23. Most of
God’s true followers can’t be successful in this age, or
dispensation, for they were called to be the “few!”
They can’t be successful
for the Creator “is the truth”
Jn.14:6 and defines truth with LAWS, while INIQUITY
the opposite of laws Mat.7:23 is used by the Anti-god.
This is why we can’t
serve two masters Mat.6:24. The
conflict
between the lawful and lawless systems makes the followers of the Creator
poor ICor.1:26. The closer a
saint is to God, the
less successful
he or she will be in this world, if he, she is under the
“Gospel of Faith” . because the great resistance is on him, her from
Satan’s opposing system. He
will be in the same degree successful in God’s now unseen system or Kingdom. This is why
Apostle John said that in the administration of the “laws of faith” it is
“the ‘spirit’
that quickeneth the ‘flesh’ profits
nothing” Jn.6:63.
We can’t mix the Old and the New Testament together, as most Chrisitans
do. In this administration we must
become “perfect” as our Father is Mat.5:48.
How can we be “perfect?” We do by
overcoming our FEARS
with our God given FAITH.
Jesus said that His religion is based on
“losing” our temporary life, to
“find” eternal life
Mat.16:25. When we are willing to
“lose” our life, our
mind opens to see more of God’s truth. This
help us to “lose”
more of our physical life, to grow in God’s “grace,” and His
“knowledge of salvation.” God’s
system is like a bicycle wheel. You
go through the process and the wheel makes a revolution.
To go forward you must go through the same process until you are
“made perfect” in God’s love IJn.4:18, by losing your fears
Rev.21:8. You are “perfect”
when you are willing to exchange your temporary life with eternal life. SUCCESS
in God’s
Kingdom is
LOSING
your life
to find
eternal life. Now we see that Abraham, Moses looked forward to salvation. Jesus gave salvation through faith and death. The resurrected Christ gave through Apostle Paul salvation without dying. Abraham and Moses were “righteous,” having the “holy spirit” “ON” them. Jesus, the saints and Paul had to be “holy,” because they had the “holy spirit” not on them but “IN” them. We gain “holiness” by the power of the holy spirit, to lose our life, to be spiritual, to be perfect. This is why John the Baptist said “Christ must increase, but I must decrease” or be less and less in this world Jn.3:30. In this age, dispensation Eph.1:10 a Christian’s success is measured by how he or she is willing to go from being prosperous to poverty, and how he, she is willing to “endure” it and its humiliation Mat.24:13. A Christian must learn to turn his, her “knowledge” into a “belief system,” and belief into “faith,” and “work,” their faith to know the “truth,” and “act” on it progressively to gain “salvation” by overcoming their “fear.” This is how the process, God’s “operation” of salvation, the wheel of salvation works, advancing a Christian step by step Col.2:12, as he, she is willing to give up, “lose” his, her physical life for eternal life Mat.16:25. Success to Christians, Who Obey the "Gospel of the Mystery"Now you see
the difference between the “easy”
salvation of the “many” in the churches and the true
and “difficult” salvation of God. The
“restoration” Mat.17:11 of God’s truth and His salvation is given to
God’s 1st Witness
Rev.11:3 at the End of the World Mat.24:3 and to the “few.” The “KEY
of Knowledge” Lk.11:52 to restore God’s truth, was the discovery by
“revelation” of God’s forgotten LAWS,
the “laws of
flesh” Rom.7: 25 of the Old
Testament, and the “laws
of faith” Rom.3:27 of the New
Testament, and Christ’s “laws
of the spirit” Rom.8:2
given to Apostle Paul the mystery. Our first
proof, to confirm the truth is the “restoration” of God’s true salvation
to us. The second
is the “restoration” of Apostle
“Paul’s Gospel”
Rom.2:16, God’s
Mystery Eph.3:3. Here
we know that God’s salvation
includes “All
things in ‘heaven’ (angels) and which are ‘on
earth’ (humans) “
Eph.1:10 and which are “under the earth” or in hell the (demons)
Phil.2:10. This is our
second “witness” of the truth
to help us to accept His true salvation.
God’s words are established with two or three “witnesses.” We need two
proofs, “witnesses”
that we may be able to differentiate between “good” and
“evil,” and to
“confirm” the truth to “come out” Rev.18:4
from our “deceptions”
Rev.12:9 what God created for us Isa.45:7.
God’s proofs will “confirm”
God’s truth, and will also identify
God’s 1st
Witness. This is
vital because God’s 1st
Witness is like
Noah and Jesus were,
“hidden” from the world, and Christianity. God’s
1st Witness is
revealed only to
whom our
Father “calls” Jn.6:44.
Since the “whole world” and every one of us is “deceived,” to
find God’s 1st Witness
is vital if we want to know the truth.
The 1st Witness holds the
KEY, how
to “come out”
of our deceptions
to find SALVATION.
No wonder Jesus said that at the
End of the World humanity and Christianity will be as the people in
Noah’s day. Noah, like the
1st Witness, had the
KEY to
salvation. Anyone who
did not recognize Noah, or acted on his message, died in the flood Mat.24 :37.
This is what Jesus is telling us now.
To believe this “truth,” is very difficult to those who are not
“called” by our Father Jn.6:44, and
given the “earnest” of the “holy spirit” to find, or recognize God’s 1st
Witness, in this age or “dispensation” of God Eph.1:10. Salvation is
given to be “found” only by the “few”
Mat.7:14 in this age.
You
CAN have
SUCCESS in
this dispensation
as a Christian,
IF
you are willing to advance from God’s
Gospel of Faith,
to His Gospel
of the Mystery.
In the Gospel of Faith you do not live in Gods reality, but you have
faith that it exist. You,
like the Old Testament saints look forward to God’s “reality,” as they did
to God’s salvation.
If you advance to God’s “Gospel of the Mystery” given by the resurrected Jesus, now our Christ to Apostle Paul Eph.3:3, you are “entering into” our Creator’s “reality” of the fifth dimension, or the God kind, the Godhead now Acts.17:29; Rom.1:20; Col.2:9. It is God’s 1st Witness, who can give you the “holy spirit” through the baptism into God’s Philadelphia Church Rev.3:7, and give you God’s true “knowledge of salvation” Lk.1:77. This makes God’s 1st Witness to hold the KEY to your salvation as Noah did before the flood to the people in his day Mat.24:37. How Time and Sacrifice Relate to SalvationBased upon
our last statement, we know that our ultimate
SUCCESS in
this life is gaining our SALVATION
in this life now, without dying IThes.4:17.
Let us not jump to conclusion, based upon the deceptions we learned in
our churches that if you are part of their belief system you are
saved and your
salvation is secure.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
How can I make such a statement? I do because
of my calling and knowledge of the
truth. In short, Christianity has
fallen away from our Creator, on June
5, 1933 when
House Joint Resolution 192 was accepted by our government.
This is when we changed from God’s
MONEY, LAWS and FAITH, to the
Anti-god’s “credit”
system without money, and “codes”
which are not based on law, and “insurance”
in opposition to faith. This
made all “users” of the NEW money,
legal and governmental system “idolaters,”
sinners IJn.3:4 for “his
servants we are whom we ‘obey”
Rom.6:16. We are
braking almost all of the Ten Commandments, making
our “sin come to the
full” like the people’s in
Noah’s day and the Amorites after the flood Gen.6:12;
15:16. Since 1933 we
can’t “buy and sell” God’s
way and wear the “Mark of the
Beast” Rev.13:17.
We can’t save our country now, we can only “obey” God, by
“coming out” of
this system religiously, legally and financially, to be protected and saved from
the “plagues” of this world
Rev.18:4. SUCCESS
is gained
gradually,
as a wheel
cycles, defining
TIME.
It takes TIME
to go from being
prosperous to
poverty,
causing us to “endure”
humiliation
Mat.24:13, which
God will turn into “knowledge”
progressively, which
YOU must
turn into a “belief
system,” and
“faith,”
to do “works,”
of your
faith to know
more “truth,”
to “act”
on it progressively,
to gain “salvation”
by overcoming your
“fear.”
This is what Paul meant by
“working out our salvation with fear and trembling”
Phil.2:12.
This is why time
is required to change from our carnality to God’s character of
sacrificial love Jn.15:13, to gain eternal life. God’s
system requires SACRIFICE
because you are required to “lose’ your life for Christ’s sake (by
obeying Him, in opposite of the Anti-god’s system) to ‘find” eternal life
Mat.16:25. “Finding” is the
first step toward salvation not the last.
To “gain” salvation
you must sacrifice following the process “operation of God” Col.2:12,
as I shown. God’s “Salvation”
and the Anti-god’s “salvation” are
opposites. God’s
Salvation is the “straight
and narrow way, … and ‘few’
are allowed to “FIND” it
Mat.7:14 in this age. The
Anti-god’s salvation is the “wide gate, broad ( or easy)
way” which leads to death
Mat.7:13 for the “many” in this age. I pray that
you “hear” our Creator’s “call”
on your life,
to be one of His “elect,” and to be in Christ’s
“better” resurrection, now at the End of this World, by helping
others to know how to be successful as a Christian in this age, or
dispensation..
May Christ bless, Protect and SAVE you
at the End of the World. |
