A Short Message: From Desi Jakab

A Short Message: From Desi Jakab

On May 6, 2009 in the evening the Lord said to me: "The Plan of Salvation was all sealed up until Jesus was able to loose the Seven Seals." - I have been reading through Revelation chapter 5 the past 2 or 3 days and I also wrote a little book - before I got sick 2 1/2 years ago - and in it I included 2 or 3 people's prophecies - as well as what the Lord was saying to me. Revelation 5 - Written by Mitt Jeffords - was the first chapter: I really liked that, probably one of my favorite: and now in 2009 The Lord speaks to me regarding the Seven Seals -- Many of God's people today have no idea what those seals are all about -- nor do they know what the seven trumpets or the 7 bowls are about either. I'm not trying to be better than anyone else, but all the confusion there is - with all the things that are preached into the book of Revelation and out of the book of Revelation despite the clear warnings in Revelation 22:6-21 Especially not to add our own interpretations into the words of the Prophecy and not to take away from it by our own undoing. The warnings are quite serious – but the lack of respect as well as the lack of the Fear of the Lord in the day and Age we live in is amazingly not good.

Much of the Book of the Revelation - is the Revelation of Jesus Christ and deals with the effects our disobedience has on our lives and the effects the religious systems of men has upon us when we do not follow Jesus into the crucified life -- by laying our own life down so we may be resurrected into the fullness of His life within. I pray the Lord will continue to help us -- to seek only Him until there is nothing left - only a O - Zero -- and once He gets through with us -- then He can also rub the line out -- until there is only Him manifested. I love what Smith Wigglesworth had to say in the latter part of his life -- he said "The flesh had no hold on him -- he walked in the Spirit of God - to such an extent that he was not even aware of his own body any more".. Sure he washed and did all the things he needed to do -- but everything was Jesus Alive and Well - through and through! Isn't that what it is all about: All about Him – Jesus, and nothing of us?!

Many years ago in a vision the Lord spoke to me re: walking in the Shadow of the Almighty (Psalms 91). If we are walking in the Shadow of the Almighty – we will be walking in His appreciation: where we will be appreciating the Lord for who He is and what He is - and not for all that He is able to do for us in our own selfish natural realm. For He can do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think according to the power of the Holy Spirit - that works within us to change us into His likeness and into His image: and nothing of man!

We need to become like God - in life and character, and not make God into our image or the number of man: Revelation 13:11-18. Blessings! I want to thank the Lord who alone is able to help all of us and to give us ears to hear, and hearts to receive all that He has for us, and what the Spirit of God is truly saying unto the Church of the Living God.

Blessings in that Wonderful and Glorious Name of Jesus!

A PASTOR’S RESPONSE TO “AN URGENT WARNING” Published below:

Friday, March 13, 2009 - By Gary Wilkerson - Pastor

A PASTOR’S RESPONSE TO “AN URGENT WARNING” Published below:

It is the task of a true prophet to warn. We have recently heard such a clear warning of perilous days just ahead of us. The prophet is like a man who comes to warn a shepherd that ravenous wolves are approaching.

It then becomes the shepherd’s task to appropriately discern the warning and to guide those in his care to a place of wisdom and security. I am not a prophet. I am a local pastor. I must ask myself what I am to do in light of hearing the warning from God. What should I say to those under my pastoral care?

First, I want my people to clearly hear the word. What is it saying and what is it not saying. Some have heard of fires and looting and their hearts are filled with fear. I am to assure my people that God is always completely in control. God is sovereign. Nothing takes place outside of his notice and counsel, and all things happen for his ultimate, highest glory. Even in the most troubling of times, our God knows exactly what he is doing.

Second, I want those I serve to know two things concerning God’s wrath. First, some leaders in the church have sadly fallen into the deception that there is no such thing as the wrath of God. Roman 1:18 says, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.” Some act in ungodly ways, others are ungodly by their suppressing the truth of God’s wrath. Some leaders reduce, ignore and even ridicule anyone who reminds them of the certainty of God’s wrath. Romans 2:5 also tells us clearly that the wrath of God is toward those whose hearts are hard and impenitent. This leads to the second element of understanding God’s wrath. It is never, ever, ever poured out on the children of God. In I John 2:2 “He is the propitiation for our sins.” The word propitiation means “wrath quencher.” What marvelous grace, what redemption! God’s wrath at my rebellion and sin has been quenched on the Cross of Christ. Hard times come; rain falls even on the just but wrath does not.

Last, I am obligated to guide the flock given to me with loving-kindness and soberness. If a wolf or a storm is coming, I as a shepherd must know the conditions of my flock. Are any sitting on the fence? Warn them that this is no time for compromise or close affiliation with the world. Partying in the house of an Egyptian on the night of the Passover is definitely not a good idea. This is a time to stay close to the Chief Shepherd. This is also an opportunity for us to call out to those outside the gate. Jesus is the Door and has opened his heart. His cry is that all flee from wrath to come. More than shrinking behind a double-locked door or fleeing to a rural farm, this is a call from Jesus to move your life into the sheepfold.

When a prophet comes with a message of warning, often people want the prophet to give them specific advice about what to do in response. At times, God gives the prophet a word, but more often it is up to the shepherd, and even more so, up to every man of God to take the word into account for his own family. Just as a pastor has stewardship of the church, a man of God is to give an account of his own family. When one comes to warn that wolves are coming, it is not always his responsibility to tell them what to do. We can hear from God. Joseph heard God say to store up food for the season to come (Genesis 41). Moses heard God say to receive gifts from the Egyptians for their journey (Exodus12). We as well can hear from God for our situation. Sheep do hear the Shepherd’s voice.

Jesus—in this hour, in this storm—will not only guide his people and comfort his flock but will also give them boldness, confidence and a heart to serve those troubled by the afflictions. A prophet once came to Paul and prophesied that if he went to Jerusalem he would be bound and put in prison. The prophet was faithful to give his word; it was up to Paul to hear from God how to deal with that warning. Paul, after hearing the prophecy, still decided to go to Jerusalem—willing to risk his life for the gospel (Acts 21). Some will hear and stay in a place of safety; others will hear and go to a place to serve. Some churches are positioned in cities that will need their spiritual strength and compassion. Perhaps the wisdom of Paul in Ephesians 5:15-18 speaks most to what we need, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit.”

“AN URGENT WARNING” By David Wilkerson

COVER LETTER March 23, 2009

I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to send out an urgent message to all on our mailing list, and to friends and to bishops we have met all over the world.

AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT IS GOING TO BE SO FRIGHTENING, WE ARE ALL GOING TO TREMBLE — EVEN THE GODLIEST AMONG US.

For ten years I have been warning about a thousand fires coming to New York City. It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires — such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago.

There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting — including Times Square, New York City. What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God’s wrath. In Psalm 11 it is written,

“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (v. 3).

God is judging the raging sins of America and the nations. He is destroying the secular foundations.

The prophet Jeremiah pleaded with wicked Israel, “God is fashioning a calamity against you and devising a plan against you. Oh turn back each of you from your evil way, and reform your ways and deeds. But they will say, It’s hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart” (Jeremiah 18:11–12).

In Psalm 11:6, David warns, “Upon the wicked he will rain snares (coals of fire)…fire…burning wind…will be the portion of their cup.” Why? David answered, “Because the Lord is righteous” (v. 7). This is a righteous judgment — just as in the judgments of Sodom and in Noah’s generation.

WHAT SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS DO? WHAT ABOUT GOD’S PEOPLE?

First, I give you a practical word I received for my own direction. Lay in store a thirty-day supply of food, toiletries and other essentials. In major cities, grocery stores are emptied in an hour at the sign of an impending disaster.

As for our spiritual reaction, we have but two options. This is outlined in Psalm 11. We “flee like a bird to a mountain.” Or, as David says, “He fixed his eyes on the Lord on his throne in heaven — his eyes beholding, his eyelids testing the sons of men” (v. 4). “In the Lord I take refuge” (v. 1).

I will say to my soul: No need to run…no need to hide. This is God’s righteous work. I will behold our Lord on his throne, with his eye of tender, loving kindness watching over every step I take — trusting that he will deliver his people even through floods, fires, calamities, tests, trials of all kinds.

Note: I do not know when these things will come to pass, but I know it is not far off. I have unburdened my soul to you. Do with the message as you choose.

God bless and keep you.

In Christ,
DAVID WILKERSON

Replacing The Old With The New

Replacing The Old With The New

By Desi Jakab Published - May 2009

The following contains prophecies and insights into the soon coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: Many of them given this year 2006! Trust you will enjoy reading all that is being shared.

Christ calls us into the newness of life!

1. The new wine is found in the cluster, in the midst of God’s people, which is also the garden or the paradise of God. When God dwells in the midst of His people, we are blessed!

2. You do not put new wine into old wineskins, or patch a new cloth unto an old one. The old mindset and the old ways of doing things do not mix not with the new, not when the old has to do with the old man or the first Adam (born in sin and shaped in iniquity – the sinful way of life where God is not the centre.) The last Adam (Jesus) and His ways are not only much better but He is THE ONLY WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE!

2Cor. 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

Rev. 21:1-5 “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. (Here we see symbolism in which the first spiritual state of an individual’s life, prior to the new birth as well as coming into the overcoming life, taking on a wonderful change. Then we also see the physical state of individuals being changed as well, as the crucified life comes into place. In Christ we become a new creation, a new creature in God. Old things are passed away and behold all things become new.)

Also “there was no more sea.” (In Christ we receive this wonderful new identity, as we come out of the nations, peoples, tongues and multitudes into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son.

In God’s kingdom there is no more sea: In Christ we all become one even as we become one with the Father and one with His Son through the power of God’s Holy Spirit.) In Revelation 17:15 we are told the waters or the sea is symbolic of the nations and is made up of “The waters which you saw,... are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.”

2“Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (All the pain and the tears experienced in the former life of sin, are all passed away! Rev. 7:14-15 tells us, “For these are they that have come out of great tribulation, - How did they come out of great tribulation? - “For they have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple: and He that sits on the throne shall dwell among them.” Rev.21:5 - Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Only as we allow Christ to sit on the throne of our hearts, do we experience the old things passing away, and behold all things becoming new! It is so important for us to remember this - PLEASE DO NOT EVER FORGET IT! When God truly sits on the throne of our hearts, He will surely MAKE ALL THINGS NEW IN OUR HEART (Spirits of Just men made perfect!) - AND ALL THINGS NEW IN OUR PHYSICAL LIFE AS WELL: as we sit with Him in His throne in the heavenly places. (Eph.1:3,17-23; 2:1-6,13-22 & Rev.3:20-21) Thus the first heavenly condition and the first earthy condition are passed away! New wine must be put into New Wineskins! YOU CANNOT PUT THE NEW WINE OF HEAVEN INTO OLD WINE SKINS!

The things that I count important to me and to all of us, is how do these things apply to you and me now, in the present tense. I am not interested in how these things apply in the hereafter, nor am I interested in how all of these things apply in the thousand year reign of Christ, for one thing the Lord has never spoken to me about any of those things, NOT ONCE! But I am interested in the present tense truth, because if we do not get all of this as present tense truth, I doubt it if we will ever get it! Man loves knowledge, but knowledge puffs a person up, BUILDS THE EGO, self-interest not God’s interest, and self-love and not God’s love. We overcome by eating of the Tree of Life, and not by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Also how they apply to us now and if we do not get it now, and get the heart and mind of God inside of us now as present tense truth in our lives we definitely will not be able to get it in the hereafter! And yes, “The Bride of Christ has Made Herself Ready” is definitely in the present tense as God calls all of us to JOIN THE BRIDE OF CHRIST now here and in this life! Time is short and soon it will be forever too late! Some of the messages that are coming forth, through angelic visitations etc., are: “Jesus is coming very, very soon!” “It is time for us to join the Bride of Christ!” The next Great War (something God spoke to me in March 1981 – where I saw Russia, not the Soviet Union: break all the peace agreements that she had ever signed, and only this year January 2006 – 25 years after the original messages were given, has the Lord spoken again: “The Next Great War is much closer than people realize, and it is going to come suddenly when it is not expected.” “LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT” or “LIKE TRAVAIL UPON A WOMAN WHEN SUDDEN BIRTH PAINS COME PRIOR TO GIVING BIRTH”!

What about the Great Tribulation? What about the mark of the beast? These are all addressed as we go on, but I only share the things that the Lord has spoken and not what man is saying or reading into the word of God. Blessings!

THE CALL TO HOLINESS AND THE CALL TO JOIN THE BRIDE OF CHRIST!

Rev. 22:17 “The Spirit, and the Bride say Come, and let all those that hear say Come, and let all those who are thirsty Come, And whosoever will, let them take of the Water of Life freely.” These are all present tense truths, and they are speaking to us more profoundly than they ever did in the history of the church: for it is today that God is saying to us “It is Time to Come and Join the Bride of Christ!” And all of heaven is cheering us on to see, the restoration of all things, and the soon coming of the Bridegroom for His Beloved Bride! Rick Joiner stated in his book The Final Quest, last chapter when the apostle Paul is speaking to him, “two things that are yet to be restored are the True Ministry of God and the Message, as they were lost very quickly in the early church. Jesus also said in Rev. 22:16 “I am the root and the offspring of David.” Jesus was that root (the righteousness of God), even into David’s day! Under Grace we are called to being separated unto Him and through this sanctification in Christ Jesus - the old becomes rooted out and by our New Birth in God, we become rooted and grounded in Him (God the Father and in His Son) in Love. Becoming children of this heavenly kingdom, we not only become joint heirs with Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit: but Christ is also made unto us and in us, “the Bright and Morning Star”– enabling us to receive both the Revelation of God the Father and the Revelation of His Son. *(I share more on page 36)

Rev. 2:26-28 “And he that overcomes and keeps My works unto the end (unto the end of every trial and every test), will I give power over the nations.” God calls us to rule over all the ungodly areas in our lives, and these are the nations through which we were born into this world in sin an iniquity. And we shall rule them – In Christ – with a rod of iron THE TWO EDGED SWORD, HIS WORD MADE ALIVE IN US: as vessels in the Great Potter’s Hand shall they be broken to shivers (ground to powder – Ex.32:20, Deut.28:24, 2Kings23:6,15-16, Matt.21:44) to the total destruction of sin! – do not leave any one of them is the call of God’s Spirit, and was the call of God in Joshua’s day as well as to Moses: “Even as I (Jesus) have received of My Father. And I will give him (or her) the MORNING STAR.”

In Matthew 11:25-30 we find, “No man knows the Son except the Father, and no man knows the Father except the Son and unto whom the Son reveals the Father.” It is through the overcoming life and the impartation of the life of God by His Holy Spirit, that we are able to come into the life of Holiness, and receive the Morning Star (the Revelation of the Father and of His Son) to bring us into that fullness of relationship. Also it is only as the Son reveals the Father’s heart into our life, and even as the Father reveals the Son into our heart, being connected into the very throne room of God do we also come into the truths of God’s word: and are truly able to “Come unto Him, all that labour(outside of God) and are heavy laden, and He will give rest unto our souls.” For us to take His yoke upon us it is only through the Morning Stars presence (Spirit of the Revelation Knowledge of God the Father) in our heart and life are we able to truly “LEARN OF HIM”. “FOR MY YOKE IS EASY AND MY BURDEN IS LIGHT.” His burden is not only light and not heavy but is also full of the light of God’s Love, Nature, Character and Life.

2Cor. 1:20-22 “For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.”

(Re: “Forgiveness, Love, Humility” See also Luke 17:1-10 on page 13.)

2Cor.2:8-17 "Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him. For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things (“If you love Me keep My commandments.” - John 14:15) so that the person you forgive, I also have forgiven them freely. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ, lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.” Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. The same word to some will bring life, while to others it will bring death.

Jesus said in John 3:17-20 “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19“And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20“For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.” In 2 Cor.2:17 we read, “For we are not, interested in peddling the word of God ignorantly, as many others have done; but we minister the word of God in sincerity, as we have received it from God, even so we speak in the sight of God in Christ.” Paul is saying, we minister the Word with honesty of spirit and heart and with the integrity - the righteousness of God’s life in us!

2 Cor.3:1-5 “Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you? (We as the apostles of Christ are made manifest to you and the world in the newness of life. Even as the Word of God is written on the fleshly tables of our heart and the life of Christ is made manifested in flesh, in us. Our commendation is that even as what we are in Christ, so you should also be in Him.) You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart. And we have such trust through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves. (The Apostle Paul is saying here, we do not minister the gospel in our own fleshly ability or intelligence), but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”

2 Peter chapters 1 & 2 “Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us (unto Him being glorified in us) and (His life giving) virtue (the spirit of holiness or righteousness of God bringing into our lives a standard of moral goodness or excellence), by which have been given unto us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith (His life giving) virtue, to virtue knowledge (the knowing relationship in both the Father and in His Son), to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 12 For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. 13Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. 15Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease. 16For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17For He received from God the Father honour and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” 18And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. 19And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.”

2 Peter chapter 2 “But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies (Privately interpreting the scriptures, according the natural mind of man’s own intellect and not according the revelation that has been given by the Holy Spirit of God!) even denying the Lord who bought them (By their ungodly example and life style, they impart into the people’s lives a dead letter of the word that not only kills, but keeps them in the clutches of Satan, and not having the ability in them to overcome Sin; the ways of the World; or the power of Satan’s influence in their own personal lives!), and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because the way of truth will be evil spoken of (by their own ungodly and deceitful lifestyle they blaspheme the nature and character of God and of His Christ). This next verse blows me away completely when I see ministries today, when the Bible clearly tells us, “Those who say gain is godliness, have nothing to do with them”. Why? Because - 3“By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. (I seriously shudder when I see and hear of the “money making” schemes and their idols that are on television today and in the world we live in!) 4 For if God did not spare the angels (Devil and his angels – ministers that are transformed into ministers of righteousness) who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; (In our day, those chains of darkness are the hidden sins that are in their lives, by which they are held captive.) 5 and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; 6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; 7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked 8(for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds) 9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, 10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, 11 whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, like natural brute beasts (Having the OLD fleshly carnal earthbound nature in them - the old wineskins; old cloth; old wine; the old mind set and ways of doing things - instead of the NEW nature, the NEW character - the NEW CREATION of God the Father and of His Christ in them!) they become entangle in the old life of sin made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 and will receive the wages of unrighteousness (Psalms 5:4-10 “For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You. 5 The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity. 6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man (These take away the life of God, the blood or Spirit of Truth by not being in Christ properly). 7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple. 8 Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face. 9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction; Their throat is an open tomb; They flatter with their tongue. 10Pronounce them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own counsels; Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, For they have rebelled against You.”) as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children (they were delivered from the curse of fallen state of man, but are cursed again because of their ungodly lifestyle). 15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet. 17 These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage. 20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have ever known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

2 Cor. 3:7-18 “But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 the ministry of the Spirit (that does not pass away) shall be more glorious! 9For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious. 12Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech- 13 unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. 14But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. 15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

(Chapters 4, 5 - 7:10-18) Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully (having deceitful, lustful and sinful hidden areas in our life), but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 6For it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed- 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12So then death is working in us, but life in you. 13And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, 14knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. 15For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God. 16Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

(Chapter 5) For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, 3if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 4For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 6So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. 9Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 11Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences. 12For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart. 13For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you. 14For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. 16Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

(2Cor. 6) We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 3We give no offence in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. 4But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in sleeplessness, in fasting; by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, by honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report; accusing us to be deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open.

12You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. 13Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open. 14Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.”

17 Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.”
