1Timothy 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. The phrase "man of God" is rarely seen in the new testament writings. However in the old testament almost all prophets were called men of God. For they no longer owned their lives. Some today claim to be or are called men of God. However, God knows His own. Selah 2Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Of course we all have been called into sonship, for Christ was clear about it: John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: However there are some chosen, appointed to be apostles, bishops etc. There are men of God. People who hear directly from God and have been called to lead many. They are not like anyone else, the...

Psalm 67:1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to shine upon us; This prayer is fulfilled in us who have believed, for Jeremiah prophesied: Lamentations 3:22&23 [It is of] the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. [They are] new every morning: great [is] thy faithfulness. When the Messiah talked about no one ever seeing the Father He meant what He said: for the people who were the people of God at that time, "the Jews", seemed to have no idea who He was. John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him]. The disciples who of course at that particular time, were yet to be believers, had no clue of the nature of God, thus they did not know how God's Spirit operates. Luke 9:54-56 And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elia...

1John 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, With what scale do we measure our priorities? * the world * our flesh * man * or the Heavenly Father We should understand that the battle has always been for "our soul" that is the real us. To get our soul the enemy attacks our mind. This is why Paul prayed and then instructed: Philippians 4:7&8 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things. All becomes struggle and chasing after wind when our measuring scale is the flesh. Let us say like Paul:...

Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. One of the biggest fails people who have come to God have experienced is as a result of pride. The glory they receive from men. "Ah what will they say, how will they look at me now, oh this will belittle me" etc. However anyone who walks with God must put down personal prestige and allow the Heavenly Father Himself to display them. John 2:24&25 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all [men], And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man. For the very lips that said Hosanna: John 12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed [is] the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. were still the ones who cried out to crucify him. Luke 23:21 Bu...

John 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. There is still the argument of some about the divine nature of Christ. Most Jewish scribes and teachers at that time spent most of their time trying to fault Him. They tried all they could to disabuse His divinity. It enraged them, spurred their envy and eventually led to hate. John 11:47-48 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.  If we let him thus alone, all [men] will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. The desire of man then and even now has been about power to remain relevant, however what Christ commanded was to leave all and follow: Luke 9:23 And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. The great desire for self righteousness, a desire to prove that they hav...

John 14:16-20 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you. Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live. When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. The Holy Spirit is not a man or a prophet to be revealed. He is God’s power, a Spirit that is omnipresence that was how the Messiah, Jesus the Christ described Him and that was how He was revealed. Let no man believe the lies of some sects trying so hard to give their religion a form of legibility. Let us look at what Christ said: John 16:5,7,13-15 “But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and not one of you is as...
