How to Gain God's SpiritualityDecember 24, 2006
Article By: Tom Demeter The Elements
of God’s
Spirituality
Dear Friend, I mentioned in my article “Repent to Live” that
repentance is to change from being as God created us to be an “evil”
selfish, deceiving, wicked, carnal human being, to be a Christian, who has
God’s sacrificial love Jn.15:13. An “un-converted,” natural
man can only be good if he keeps God’s laws,
to control his evil “spirit
of man” 2Cor.2:11, His evil
“heart” Jer. 17:9 which can’t believe God. Humans and angels (good
or evil) can’t gain eternal life unless they
REPENT to
be "spiritual God’s
way.” The
"many" are
“deceived” and will be
even more by the “god of this world” 2Cor.4:4
to be "spiritual the
angel’s way.” You need to know how to be spiritual God’s way. You need to
know the elements, building blocks of God’s spirituality, and how you may gain
them that you could be like Him, to gain eternal life or salvation. You need to
know God’s and your function in this process.
The deceived Christian churches are not aware that they are missing
God’s spiritual elements. God’s spirituality
is based
on His three (3)
laws, and its three (3)
religions teaching these laws or doctrines.
To learn how to apply God’s spirituality we must participate in God’s
three (3) governments.
We must understand how these elements interrelate or we will be lost
trying to learn and gain God’s spirituality. We must realize that it is God’s responsibility to
“call” us Jn.6:44. The time of our calling was pre-ordained 2Tim.1:9 to be
in God’s different “dispensations” Eph.1:10
or ages. God also must give us His
“holy spirit” that we could bridge the
GAP between the humans
third dimension, and the angel’s fourth dimension, to be lifted into God’s
fifth dimension. God also must give us or reveal to us His
“knowledge of salvation” Lk.1:77, for without it our understanding
can’t benefit and we don’t know how to use God’s holy spirit.
We need from God both his spirit and to know “the way” which leadeth
to eternal life Mat.7:14. Our responsibility after God has called us is to use God’s
holy spirit by exercising our “faith”
and to “sacrifice” our life Mat.16:25, to gain God’s
spirituality. This is why we must
“count the cost” Lk.14:28 that we may make the right
choices, and not to give up on God’s process of teaching us, to
gain eternal life. In the heat of
battle when we have to offer our sacrifices, it is so easy to “give up” and
to leave God, and to go back to serve the Anti-god. We must learn what is the difference between God’s three
LAWS, and RELIGIONS
and His GOVERNMENTS,
and how to advance from one to the other, or to recognize
which of these God’s systems are we “called” into.
Not seeing this we can easily lose our way, and can be side tracked, or
neutralized by our Anti-god. We must “test”
ourselves to see what is our calling
and “God’s will”
for our life Rom.12:2. God’s spirituality is much more complicated and more
difficult to gain than the Anti-god’s. God
made it very difficult for those who want to be spiritual God’s way, compared
to the Anti-god’s way. Every
step is a choice, requiring us to overcome our
fear to offer our sacrifice, going
“backward” in life
instead going forward. Our
human nature, our spirit of man and society is built that we need to go
“forward” to stay alive.
Why? Satan’s system is set
up that you are on a tread mill, if
you get off there is no room for you. You
are forced to serve or “obey” the system, or you can’t live.
This is why you need FAITH
to “believe”
in God and that He will make for you a way, where
it seems that there is now way. You
must believe in God and His mighty power to provide for you
ICor.10:13, to live by faith Rom.1:17. God’s
Three Religions
Christians by following the laws of the “mystery of
iniquity” gospel of the Anti-god 2Thes.2:7, and its “doctrines of the
Pharisees” Mat.16:12 are totally blind to God’s spirituality.
As Jesus predicted we are all “deceived,”
all religions, and all the people of the world Rev.12:9.
Now don’t slide over this because this includes you also personally.
If you are not willing to “examine”
your believes 2Cor.13:5, you can’t
“come out” from
your deception Rev.18:4, you will
not be able to see the difference between God’s system based on His three
LAWS, RELIGIONS
and GOVERNMENTS, and Satan’s system based on
“iniquity” Mat.7:23,
his false lawless religions and tyrannical governments. God has
three (3) systems
at the present, based on
His three
laws.
The Old Testament is based on the
“laws of flesh”
Rom.7:23,25, the Ten Commandments and its statutes and Feasts.
The New Testament is founded on the “laws
of faith” Rom.3:27 and its ONE
law of love. God’s Mystery Administration of Christ, given last to
Apostle Paul rests on the “laws
of the
spirit” Rom.8:2. These LAWS
or “doctrines,” and
their corresponding “money,” and
its use is taught in God’s corresponding RELIGIONS.
These are the Old Testament, New Testament given by Jesus, and the
Mystery given to Apostle Paul Eph.3:3 by Christ after His resurrection.
When you look at God’s laws you notice a progression from the carnal to
the spiritual, affecting the human and angel kind, and the God kind spiritually.
If you are not aware of the progression and the
difference between God’s systems, you will not be able to grow, to overcome
your carnality to become perfect in God’s spirituality.
By not gaining God’s spirituality you can
not gain eternal life. In God’s Old
Testament religion
you can’t gain salvation, because this is a carnal administration, for
carnal people only. Salvation is a spiritual process, where humans
and the angels are lifted into the fifth dimension, the God kind. In the New
Testament we are limited by
our faith, because we are rewarded according to our faith Mat.9:29.
This is why this is also a temporary
administration, because God is not limited by faith. Salvation
is offered in the New Testament,
but it is through death.
God’s last system given to humanity is not limited by our
faith. This is His Mystery Administration where we are in the
“reality” of God’s
eternal world. Here salvation
is offered without
death IThes.4:17. For you to advance in God’s spirituality, God must first
“call” you Jn.6:44, and also must give you His “holy spirit”
that you could “accept” God’s
call. Without the holy spirit or at
least the “earnest”
of it 2Cor.1:22, you can’t accept God’s
“calling” because
God’s ways and principles are “foolishness”
to you as a carnal person ICor.2:14. Then you must also have to have God’s
“knowledge of salvation”
Lk.1:77 that you may know how to advance, grow in God’s spirituality.
You must have these because to become spiritual God’s way, you must
constantly make decisions
and choices to grow. This is
vital because the choices
you are required to make, demands
sacrifices to
grow. The more you grow, the
greater is your sacrifice.
Without God’s true knowledge of salvation, you are not able to
“count the cost” positively
to make your sacrifices. All humans
are security conscious, because of our
“spirit of man” want to
SAVE our life, not allowing us without the holy spirit
to SACRIFICE it
Mat.16:25. To be spiritual God’s way, we must sacrifice our
life by using our faith.
Without faith it is impossible to overcome our
fear of
losing our life, and we are unable to be spiritual.
Here we must explain briefly why we need
the sacrifice
of Jesus.
In the Old Testament the sacrifice of bulls and goats was sufficient.
In the New Testament Jesus’ sacrifice substituted for our eternal death
for sin. Jesus sacrificed His life
for the “sin” He committed when
He “created evil” Isa.45:7, and to allow us to
die physically that
through it we could gain eternal
life. Christianity does not
understand why Jesus, now our Christ had to be crucified, because they don’t
know Paul’s gospel Rom.2:16. There is a progression in spirituality and
God’s love revealed in God’s systems. We
need to be aware of it or we cut ourselves off from eternal life. God’s
Religions Must
Establish God’s
Governments
Gaining salvation is the “operation of God”
Col.2:12, it is a progressive process as we gain God’s spirituality.
In this process we must learn God’s laws in His
churches, and
learn to make our choices in God’s
government. In
God’s salvation we need God’s LAWS,
RELIGION and
GOVERNMENT. This is why we were asked to “seek FIRST the
kingdom of God” Mat.6:33.
This is why Israel had to “come
out” from Egypt, when they were
in the Pharaoh’s government. This
is why Christians now must “come out” of this world and its government, to
be in God’s government Rev.18:4. We can’t serve two masters Mat.6:24, God and the Anti-god,
for they are opposites. This is why
to “obey” God we must obey God’s laws, learn them in His three churches
and apply or live, by practicing, using God’s laws, religious “doctrines” in God’s government.
You can’t be a true Christian while you are in Satan’s government,
for it is an impossibility.
The churches do not understand why Jesus said
“My kingdom is not of this world”
Jn.18:36. Jesus could not
establish His kingdom then because His laws were not yet given, He had no
followers, who had the holy spirit, the knowledge of salvation was not revealed, or His religion
established, not to mention His government.
God’s laws,
religion and
kingdom was
established after
Pentecost
for a short time. Soon, in the first century God exchanged His holy spirit with
the seven angelic spirits of His seven churches Rev.2 and 3, preventing
Christians to establish God’s kingdom. In
the Old Testament God’s Kingdom was established, until God “divorced” Israel from Him, and took away His kingdom
from them. The real Jews know that
Israel is not God’s
kingdom now, or can’t be until He
will come again. Yes, the Temple
will be built, and many prophecies will be fulfilled in the area of Israel, but
the official kingdom of Israel will be only set up when Christ Second witness
comes. The majority of the Jews
don’t know this because they are also “deceived”
as the Christians are Rev.12:9. The true Christians know that at the “End of the World”
Mat.24:3 God will sends His Two Witnesses Rev.11:3, to announce His second
coming, like John the Baptist was sent before Jesus’ first coming Mat.17:10.
These TWO
WITNESSES will
“restore” God’s
Kingdom to Israel, and its laws, religion and government for a short time, for
three and a half years (3.5 yrs.) When
these prophets finished their “testimony,”
they will be killed Rev.11:7 and God’s government will be usurped by
the Biblical Beast. True Christians, whom God will call, must also set up God’s
New Testament government, that they could “obey”
God! Since God’s Kingdom of
Heaven is a spiritual kingdom, they can only set up Embassies of it on earth,
not on the Old Testament pattern but on the pattern of the New Testament.
The function
of God’s
Old and
New Testament
churches is then to
support God’s Two Witnesses. One
Witness or Prophet is sent to the Old Testament Church, and one Prophet is sent
to His New Testament church. This
is a complicated issue, because God’s Two Witnesses are actually at least
three Prophets, depending on how you count them, since God has three laws,
religions and governments. The other function is of these Churches to
Warn the World of its deception and not to mix the Biblical Beast’s coming with Christ’s arrival.
To do this “work”
Acts.13:41 the New Testament
church must “call” Christians
out of the churches Rev.18:4, and help them to establish God’s Kingdom of
Heaven’s Embassies, to be protected from the “plagues” of the
Anti-god Rev.18:4. Christians must
prepare other Christians to be “ready” to “flee”
to God’s Place of Safety Rev.12:6, when it is time to “flee.” God’s Two Witnesses and their followers the “144,000
Israelites,” and the “Great
Multitude” of the Gentile
Christians Rev.7:4,9 will do “GOD’S
WORK” Acts.13:41 making the religious, legal, financial and
governmental changes in the world. The
Two Witnesses and their followers will
“hold back the evil” 2Thes.2:5
of the Beast’s coming. The world
will be changed by the work of these “witnesses” so much that we will not
recognize it soon. You need to be
in God’s work, to qualify to flee
to God’s Place of Safety. If you
do not know what is coming and why, you will not be a part of God’s work. The
Rewards of
God’s Three
Governments To
understand God’s spirituality better, that we may
“count our
cost” Lk.14:28 to be
favorable to make our sacrifices, we must know the rewards for being
spiritual God’s way. God’s first TEST
is examining our motivation to know
WHY we want to "come
out" from this world?
Do we want to "come out" to
"SAVE" our
life, or are we willing to "LOSE"
it, by doing things "God's way,"
not the "Anti-god's
way," which is "our
way" of death
Prov.14:12. This is
important because a Christian must “live by faith”
Rom.1:17, and must be willing to sacrifice his/her life
to gain eternal life Mat.16:25. We have three
(3) options to "come
out" of this world, the
Old Testament’s way, the New Testament’s way, and God’s Mystery’s
way. #1) The safest way to
"come out" of this
world is the Old Testament way, but the down-side is that we don't
qualify for eternal life. We can
only be in Christ’s millennial reign as human beings. #2) To
"come out" The New Testament's way is more difficult and
NOT as safe, for here we
need "faith,"
an element which requires us to "fail"
first, that we may exercise our faith. This is specially true if
we "waver in our faith"
Jam.1:6. As a positive here
"eternal" salvation is given, while in the Old Testament only
temporary salvation is given, or "blessings and coursings"
Deut.28. If we follow
this way, we will be ruling with Christ over humanity and some of the angels in
the coming “ages to come” Eph.2:7. #3) God’s
Mystery way, does NOT
yet apply to us. So this is TIME
to CHOOSE, We need to CHOOSE
if we want to "obey" God, or the Anti-god. We
can't serve two masters Mat.6:23. We
can't live "Satan's or the World's way," and also "God's
way" by using Satan's
"codes" and "credit" and "insurance," instead
living by God's
LAWS, MONEY
and by FAITH.
We also must CHOSE how we are
going to "obey" God, by how we are going to "come out" of
this world Rev.18:4 the above three ways. We
need to CHOOSE
if we are willing to learn God’s true
"knowledge of God's salvation," and to
CHOOSE to receive God’s
"holy spirit" from
God’s First Witness of His Two Witnesses, to "believe," and to
exercise our "faith" to DO
what God is asking us. We
also must CHOOSE to
do it now, while there is time, because we are told that our time to choose is
very short Rev.12:12. To choose, we
must know
who is God’s First
and Second
Witness Rev.11:3. This is not as simple an issue as it seems.
These Witnesses have at least three Prophets, to fulfill their function.
The “many”
Christians will not recognize these Witnesses or their Prophets,
and this is why the Beast in Rev.13:4 and the False Prophet will assume
their identity Rev.13:11,12 to
“deceive” the “whole
world” V.14, that the Beast is the Christ. God already sent the first Prophet of His
First Witness
of His Two Witnesses, using him to “restore”
Mat.17:11 God’s “mystery,”
given to Apostle Paul first Eph.3:3.
The mystery of God was again “hidden”
until the very End of the World, when God’s Seventh Angel begins to sound
Rev.10:7. Those who will believe and follow the First Witness and its
first Prophet will be in the resurrection without dying ICor.15:52, IThes.4:17. This first Prophet was demoted, to become the second
Prophet of the First Witness. Christ
gave this second Prophet a “lower”
gospel to preach, Jesus’ “gospel
of faith,” built on
the “laws of faith” Rom.3:27.
This gospel is not God’s full gospel as we have shown before, so those who follow this
second, demoted Prophet can be in the resurrection but through
martyrdom or death.
This will motivate some of his followers to follow God’s
“mystery” gospel to be in the resurrection without dying. God’s will send to Israel His Second Witness.
Since Israel did not have the “holy spirit” of God
“IN “ them, they can’t have faith because faith
is one of the “fruits” of the “holy spirit.”
This is why the Second Witness and its Prophets will
be powerful as Moses was to establish God’s
physical kingdom on earth, with its
LAWS, RELIGION and
GOVERNMENT. The Second Witness
and its Prophets do not offer salvation,
only to be in the millennial reign of Christ, as humans, like God gave to Noah
through the flood. Which Witness
will go to
God’s “Place of
Safety” and
which will
Die Rev.12:6? To know how this will work out we must look for
“patters” in the Old Testament.
We know that God’s Two Witnesses will be killed Rev.11:7, when the
Spirit Beast will possess the Human Beast’s body, to become
“The BEAST”
of Rev.17. The question is
which Prophet will go to God’s Place of Safety and which TWO will be
killed? We are given a hint when we read that God’ had THREE
spiritual Prophets after the
flood, these were Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob, called
the
“fathers.” Will
this “pattern”
work with the Two Witnesses? When
God established His physical government on earth, He sent
Moses,
Aaron, and later
Joshua. We know that
Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised land,
neither Aaron, only Joshua.
Jesus reminded us that the End of the World will be
like in Noah’s
day Mat.24:37, when only
ONE righteous
man was saved. (Shem, Ham and
Japheth do not count, because God chose Abraham to be like Noah.) We are also told that at the End of the World, God
will send Elijah
and John the Baptist Mat.17:10-13.
This show us that ONE
Witness was sent to
the Old Testament church, and
ONE witness
was for the New Testament church.
Elijah was
a unique Prophet because he was the only one whom God’s “chariot of fire” took
to heaven without dying 2Kings.2:11, showing how Christ will go to heaven, and
God’s “Elect.”
( We know that Elijah did not
go to heaven, because we read that “NO
man has
ascendant up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son
of man .. “ Jn.3:13. ) We see how
God’s First Witness had
TWO Prophets, yet
only ONE person. This
allow us to know that God’s Second Witness will have
TWO Prophets also,
with TWO persons,
like Moses and Aaron were. Moses
was like “god” to
Aaron and to the Pharaoh, and Aaron was the Prophet and Priest for Moses. This is God’s way, that the new religion
and a new
government
on that religion must be set up in Israel, for and
by these newly defined TWO
Witnesses could do their work. These
must build the Temple of God, and have its
religious system set up, with its religious sacrifices,
according to Daniel’s prophecies Dan.11:31, that
“The BEAST” may
“pollute” it by placing “the
abomination” which will “desolate,”
making God vacate His Temple.
Israel must have a government to make a “holy
covenant” with the Beast’s system V.28. This allow us to see that God’s First Witness
and its Prophet will go to God’s Place of Safety
as Noah, Elijah, and Christ did, and his followers
the “elect” will Mat.24:22. This First Witnesses’
Prophet must change his gospel, to God’s “mystery,” to teach God’s Elect
Mat.24:22, a
“few” from the
Great Multitude Rev.7:9,
to “flee”
to God’s Place of
Safety Reve.12:6, to be saved
into the resurrection without dying IThes.4:17. I pray that God may "call"
you, to see that you must
prepare for the End of the World, to be
"ready" by "coming
out" of this world, and by "entering
into" God's Kingdom of Heaven's
Embassy, that you may FLEE
to God's Place
of Safety, by helping
others to enter into it with
you. I pray that you may do God's "WORK"
Acts.13:41, to WARN the world, and to
CALL Christians from the Churches of the Anti-god. |
