As I was reading the scriptures with the Lord this morning— I had conversations with him as we meditated (chewed on) what was presented; and I reflected upon his goodness.  Then others in the body of Christ brought up similar topics— and this was what ensued from those conversations with the Lord God— concerning his mission, works, kingdom, love, true-form, and disposition toward his creation, people, and covenant promise: with much focus upon his fight FOR HUMANITY— to be reconciled and one with him— and his Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 61:1-3

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”

Luke 4:18-20

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.  And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.”

1 John 3:8

“He that committeth [G4160: does, makes, brings forth, commits, causes, works, shows, bears, keeps, fulfills, deals, performs] sin— is of the devil [G1228: traducer, satan, false accuser, slanderer]; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested [G5319: declared, shown forth, rendered], that he might destroy [G3089: loosen, break up, dissolve, melt, put off] the works [G2041: actions, deeds, workings] of the devil [G1228: traducer, satan, false accuser, slanderer].”

In Greek, διάβολος (diábolos) means "slanderer," "false accuser," or "the devil".  It comes from the Greek verb diaballein (to "throw across" or "cast through"), which evolved into a term meaning to maliciously divide, defame, or destroy someone's character by spreading lies.  

Literal Meaning: One who throws or casts across.  

Classical Usage: In ancient secular Greek, it was used to describe people who committed character assassination, such as rival politicians, liars, or malicious gossips.  

Biblical Usage: In the New Testament, it is used as the proper noun for Satan (the Devil), representing the ultimate adversary and accuser.

H7198 – Bow

Hebrew: קשׁת

Transliteration: qesheth

Pronunciation: keh'-sheth

Definition: From H7185 in the original sense (of H6983) of bending a bow for shooting (hence figuratively strength) or the iris: archer + arrow, bowman, shot. 

Genesis 9:11-16

“I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said— This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.”

The Hebrew word קשת (pronounced keshet) primarily means bow (as in a weapon for shooting arrows), and rainbow.  Here are its primary meanings and uses: 

Weapon: An archer's bow used for hunting or in battle.

Rainbow: In both modern and biblical Hebrew, it is the standard word for a rainbow (often literally translated as "bow in the cloud").

Archery / Archer: It can be used to refer to an archer or a bowman.

Because keshet is the exact word used for a weapon of war, it carries profound symbolic meaning in biblical texts. It signifies both divine power and a symbol of peace—such as in the story of Noah, where God places his "bow" in the sky as a covenant not to destroy the earth.

In summation:  the Lord God’s Spirit is upon Yah’Shua (the Son of Yah, Yah’ovah) Ha Mashiach, Jesus the Christ— and he is anointed to DO: the Lord God’s Spirit and anointing (smearing, painting, consecration) is upon Jesus for purpose: to preach (proclaim, publish, cry aloud), to go (sent), to heal, to recover, to set (establish) people at liberty, to comfort, to appoint, that the Lord may be glorified:

Luke 4:18-19

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.  And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.”

Isaiah 61:1-3

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year [H8141: revolution of time, age] of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them— beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”

Again…

There is purpose for why the Holy Spirit of God was ‘upon’ the Lord Jesus— why the Son was made manifest in the world: to destroy, dissolve, cast away, loosen, break up, melt, put off— the actions, deeds, works (workmanship) of the slanderer of God’s person, way, kingdom, love, and true form: the devil.

The workmanship of satan— is evil in actions.  

The workmanship of God— is Jesus in actions.

The unholy spirits/devils— in actions, representing their kingdom way.  

The Holy Spirit of God and holy angels and spirits of holy men— in actions, representing their kingdom way: and that way is the fruit of God’s Spirit expressed through a human heart and mind— leading to actions of God and godliness in/through that vessel.  As well as what was listed above— when the Spirit is over a man who is in league with, or in oneness with— the Spirit of the living God; and the Spirit is upon that man TO DO: purposeful actions of divinity-life, as God moves a reverent man of God who is one with Jesus.

PURPOSE— for Holy Spirit presence of anointing— TO DO:  to PREACH (proclaim, publish, cry aloud) —concerning the good tidings (or as Jesus called it— the gospel) to the meek (those depressed [pressed down] in mind or circumstance, the needy, humble, saintly [H6035]), PREACH— deliverance to captives, and liberty, as well as the acceptable period or age of the Lord’s ACTIONS/WORKS in the earth, by being SENT— to HEAL— the brokenhearted, binding up their wounds, SENT to open prison doors to people who are bound, RECOVER— sight to the blind, and to LIBERATE (set) —the bruised [G2352: the crushed], to APPOINT— that is, give— comfort, beauty, and joy, as well as garments of praise (definitely following his actions/works) —for the spirit that is heavy.  

And these who shall do these workings that are his— shall be called trees (men) of righteousness, the planting of the Lord— that he may be glorified (our Father and Maker of us, who is our Husband our spiritual partner and head of us— we the body).

….to set at liberty, the bruised.

A bruised reed

Isaiah 42:3-4

“A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment [H4941: divine law] unto truth.  He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he has set judgment (divine law) in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.”

He will not crush those that are already crushed by the spirit of this world— he shall heal, he shall liberate, he shall make whole— by divine law— unto truth.  A person’s spirit who is barely flickering yet— he will not snuff them out— but restore, recover, rekindle, and ignite them once again— by his divine law— unto truth.  What do I mean?

Satan, the devil, that ole serpent— comes to steal, kill, destroy— which means dissolve, cast away, loosen, break up, melt, put off —the works/workings/deeds/actions of the Holy Spirit working in and through us.  And God comes to us in union, covenant, and headship— to destroy, dissolve, cast away, loosen, break up, melt, put off —the works/workings/deeds/actions of the devil.

As the Lord God comes to PREACH— good tidings to the depressed/pressed —down in mind or circumstance, the needy, humble and saintly —the gospel of Christ Jesus, as well as deliverance and liberty to those held in chains or bonds of prison (by the devil in his thoughts, ways, beliefs, actions, and kingdom/cohorts), and the acceptable [approved of] age of the Lord— in actions/deeds/works— who takes VENGEANCE, WITH HIS BOW— upon THE DEVIL; as it is set in the sky to remind us with every rain that he shall do so, as our promise of covenant by him; by being SENT (with purpose of the Holy Spirit upon him, as well as those he is arisen within to do the same purposes) —to HEAL— the broken hearts, bind up their wounds (that means fixers), and RECOVER —the sight of the blind (that’s loose divine law and perspective, let there be light now), and to LIBERATE (set into freedom) the bruised (the crushed people in mind, spirit, heart, circumstances); as he APPOINTS (and through his people he works through, as well), which is to GIVE UNTO [H7760: put, make, give] people who are heavy spirited (afflicted by the devil) —comfort, beauty, joy, and thusly clothe them afterwards in the praises of God— because of this ministry of Jesus: and thus— glorify God in the earth.

Hence— he will not fail, nor be discouraged from his works/deeds/actions/endeavors of this ministry— and it shall all be set in divine law in the earth; and even the furthest reaches wait for his divine law (conduct of godliness) to invade and cover the whole of the earth: and these— are his ministers of salvation— as well, with and by him.

The devil comes to move in falsity, accuse others of doing so, and then throw, cast through, and divide, defame, and destroy character— through the spreading of lies (opposite of through the spreading of truth, which is God, in Jesus, the Word): both have a throw, cast of a bow and arrows, to cast through, divide, and destroy: the devil moves in lies, God moves in true form of righteousness— each sending forth into man’s interior— either truth and true form of God, godliness, and love; or lies, perversion of true form of God, godliness, and love: and we shall be known by the fruit of our actions/deeds/works— who our God/god is.

Remember: there is a true Christ, and an Anti-Christ: both with a bow and arrows

Psalm 7:12-13: God is portrayed as a righteous judge who —has bent his bow and made it ready— and— makes his arrows fiery shafts— to defend the upright.

Habakkuk 3:9: A display of God’s majesty where his bow is uncovered and he unleashes a barrage of arrows, splitting the earth.

Lamentations 2:4: Depicts God’s righteous anger, where He has —bent his bow like an enemy— and set his right hand as an adversary.

Deuteronomy 32:23: God warns the faithless that He will —heap disasters— and —spend my arrows upon them.

2 Kings 13:15-17: The prophet Elisha tells King Joash to shoot a bow out the window, naming the arrow "the Lord's arrow of victory," to symbolize God's deliverance over their enemies.  

Psalm 18:14: In this psalm of David, the Lord —sent out his arrows and scattered his enemies.

Psalm 127:4: Children are compared to —arrows in the hand of a warrior— meaning they are meant to be carefully guided and sent out into the world to make an impact.

Ephesians 6:16: The Apostle Paul writes about faith acting as a shield to —extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  "Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked."

The "Fiery Darts": These symbolize Satan's subtle attacks on the mind and spirit—such as sudden temptations, fiery doubts, paralyzing fears, or accusing thoughts— that lead to actions or fruits. 

The Shield of Faith: Christians are instructed to use their faith in God to "quench" (extinguish and deflect) these malicious attacks —before they can ignite spiritual destruction: resist the devil.  And remember— faith without deeds— is dead (James 2:17), it’s estranged from God— faith.  Faith must have actions that justify and prove our faith (reliance upon Christ Jesus and the truth) in our spiritual lives.  We are justified not by an empty (vain) faith— but a fruitful faith: James 2:24: “Ye see then how by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.”  We are saved by grace (the graciousness of God) —through— faith— CREATED FOR GOOD WORKS (Ephesians 2:8-10).  And our faith is worked IN/OF LOVE (Galatians 5:6).

• Born Again (or Anew) by his Spirit— unto good/God works/deeds/actions/fruits/results of person.

So, the Word came, and comes still yet— to manifest himself to us, and thus now— through us— TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL— IN/OF US:  to PREACH, as SENT, to HEAL, RECOVER, LIBERATE, APPOINT (give, put, make) —destroying the works/workmanship of the devil, evil, opposite of his works.  Where?  In and of people in the earth, especially— his people who claim his name: and people’s fruit shall prove their tree (or King/king and Kingdom/kingdom) —that of the Word, or the Perversion/devil/anti-christ.

The Sons of God are to be living proof of God’s works in and through us— as his Spirit bears witness/record of the Lord God in works of righteousness— through repentance; as they are born again, born anew, and recreated to be those who restore the old waste places, and ruins— of the human nature, to that of union with the living God— as he is: in his divine (godly) nature— in operation in the natural (or material) man.

True belief, union, agreement, and his workmanship in us— as he reforms and resurrects us from death to life— naturally (in the natural) will produce good (or God) actions, and love for others.  Faith— reliance upon, that’s a foundation in the truth and Jesus Christ as our Head— is the root of Christian life and relationship to the Lord: good (God) works— are the visible fruit of a living faith.

And these shall go about doing good; for he is in them, for them, and anointing them to do so: and in this— God is glorified in the sons of God.

Acts 10:38

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”

God will no longer shoot his arrow at ‘life’ itself— he repented of this (changed his mind fully around).  His bow is hung in the heavens— and will not destroy the earth with water, such as a flood of the whole earth, ever again: not just toward man, but because of man— and even the animals and all life sees his covenant with the earth (all life).  But he will come against the devil— it’s what his mission is after: to crush the works of the devil.  And he is desiring to do that concerning our lives.  If we are participating with the devil— he will desire to correct us, chastise, and chasten us.  If the devil is afflicting us— and we desire union with God, as he is, and to honor him; the Lord God takes up arms against the schemes and wiles of the devil— in our lives; as we partner with heaven— and resist the devil and his ways.

The Lord God can send his TRUTH— ARROWS— straight into the ranks of satan, his kingdom, his agenda, plans, and actions— and— DESTROY THE WORKS/ACTIONS/DEEDS of THE DEVIL: and comfort, liberate, heal, appoint unto us— beauty, joy, and praising him— as he comes to preach, as he is sent to do!

So— when we read Isaiah 61, 42, and 1 John 3— we can understand what God is truly desiring to use his Word, Truth, and Bow (and arrows) for— THE SWORD (arms) OF THE LORD GOD— to set captives free, heal fractured hearts (minds, ways, affections, actions, affiliations, lives, of spiritual man— in soul life), deal with the devil— countering his works (workmanship) with His own workmanship— and ministers of— with fruit proofs (results of being his sons): he’s come to preach salvation to us, he’s sent unto us— for just a workmanship in us— as this!

1 John 3

“Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us— that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not. Beloved— now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear (manifest) what we shall be: but we know that when he shall appear (manifest) —we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.  And every man that has this hope in him —purifies himself, even as he is pure.

Whosoever commits sin —transgresses also the law: for sin— is the transgression of the law. (divine law of person conduct— to the equity of the Lord’s heaven). And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins (take away, out of us, remove from us— the continued perversion of the personal conduct of godliness within us); for in him is no sin (perversion of godliness— righteous ways).

Whosoever abides (remains living) in him —sins not: whosoever (yet) sins —has not seen [G3708: stared at, attended to, or experienced] him— neither has known [G1097: perceived or understood] him.

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness— is righteous— even as he is righteous.  He that commits sin— is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested— that he might destroy the works of the devil. (IN US, AND CONCERNING OUR LIVES)

Whosoever is born of God— does not— commit sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin— because he is born of God. (When God is actually in charge— a man will not miss alignment with heaven— for Jesus and the Holy Spirit, unto our Father— IS HEAVEN AND ALIGNMENT: any man given to him, in him, and remaining quite literally— spiritually in him— absolutely cannot miss alignment with God: for Jesus IS ALIGNMENT WITH GOD THE FATHER AND SPIRIT: for all is One).

In this (spiritual understanding) the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness— is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother. For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.  (And) Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore (or why did he) slew him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

Marvel not, my brethren, if the world (spirit of this world, and that is in operation with spiritual apostates) hates you.  We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother— abides in death.

Whosoever hates [G3404: persecutes and is loveless toward] his brother— is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. (Because eternal LIFE— is a law and conduct of the Spirit of God and godliness or righteousness— and LOVE.)

Hereby we perceive the love of God— because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso has this world's good (things in the material of self goods), and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his bowels of compassion (love for other, in all destitution) from him— how does the love of God (divine godly law of the Spirit of Life) dwell in him? 

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby (in deeds, works, of truth done) we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

For if our heart condemns us— God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. 

(Meaning— if we do our good/godly/God ordained works of divine spiritual law toward others— and we still think ourselves condemned… God overcomes the heart [mind, reasoning, and perspective] by his Spirit— because God sees and knows all our intentions and motivations— to both will and to do.)

Beloved, if our heart condemns us not— then have we confidence toward God.  And whatsoever we ask— we receive of him; because we keep his commandments (his directing us in his divine law conduct— by his Spirit of Truth— leading us into doing, living, being— all the truth substance of God, in the Word— Jesus Christ, Yah’Shua Ha Mashiach), and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

(We shall ask and receive of him— when we have confidence in him, that we are obeying and keeping his commands of our lives— in/by his divine law conduct in action in us— as we couple with his Spirit; and because we do those things that are pleasing to him— in his sight.  This is how we can ask and receive according to our asking: because we are doing as he leads of us— the things that please his Spirit, law, way, and life— as we keep his command of us, by his Spirit at the helm, leading us in all the ways and actions of God— resulting in the fruit of God’s life made evident in and through us: our actions shall prove our Word we are given to— and preach (proclaim, publish, and cry aloud of).

And this is his commandment (is this) —That we should believe [G4100: commit ourselves unto] on the name [G3686: authoritative character] of his Son Jesus Christ— AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER— as he gave us commandment [G1785: injunction, and authoritative prescription of precept].

And he that keeps his commandments [G1785: injunction, and authoritative prescription of precept] — dwells [G3306: stays in place, state, relation, present] in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us— by the Spirit which he has given us.”

• We know that we are living (dwelling) —in and from him— when we are obeying his headship in us, and the fruit results of his person— become evident through us; as he gives us injunction and authoritative prescription of precept (that’s a teaching about the way to live).  And in that— we know he is living in and from us: and in those workings, his workmanship made manifest (showing from) us— we know that the Holy Spirit that he gave us— is LIVING IN US: that’s— the one true God finding his being— moving— in us!  And those— are the sons of God— who are, with union to God, and reverence to the Lord God— DESTROYING THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL: and signs and wonder follow these believers (those who have [G4100] commit themselves unto the name [G3686] authoritative character —of God).

Mark 16:17-18

“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”

These proofs shall follow (accompany) those who believe (who are committed to him, in/of his name— authoritative character and command of Spirit): they shall cast out devils— for devils have been cast out of them (with all they consist of), they shall speak with new tongues (speech, words of character and way), take up serpents (deal with devils as they come against them); and if they take in any spiritual deadly thing (drink) —it shall not hurt them (for God is with them, and will straighten it out in them— for his Spirit is given all authority and rule within them): these shall lay hands (their power of actions and deeds) upon the sick (the oppressed of the devil) —and they shall recover: for these are the sons of God— who follow after the Lamb— in all divine law of love, truth, and righteousness: and their fruit is known— as they walk in/of the Spirit of God— in heaven (spirit) and earth (soul) life.

Jesus comes to destroy the works of darkness— the devil: and he commissions us to the same— as he resurrects us from death to life— in and of his Holy Spirit: to accomplish the works of the Father in us— that he should be glorified in the sons of God.

Summation of this teaching

_____________________________________

The devil comes to be false, slander, accuse, work evil deeds or actions, throws or casts someone through— and destroys: character, dividing, and defaming God’s creation— through the spreading of lies in and of us.

Jesus, the Word, the Message and Witness of God— was made manifest to us of the true form (and in action) of the Lord God— for the purpose of, for the showing forth of, and rendering— the destruction of, the loosening, the breaking up (like fallow ground and a divorce), dissolving, melting (the elemental spiritual structure of man), putting off— the works, actions, deeds— of the devil: the false one, and slanderer of God’s name (character in actions and deeds).

Both God and satan (or the devil) have a bow to shoot forth the power of their kingdom ways— unto mankind— taking shot, and launching an attack: the Lord God will not destroy man ever again— by his bow— but will destroy the works of darkness or the devil, as man comes to resist the devil, and align with God.  And the workers of a kingdom— do their kingdom way (devils or angels, and man) unto their God/god.

God’s Spirit comes to arise upon a man to anoint men (sons of God) for godly purposing— to be sent to preach, heal, deliver, liberate, recover, establish men in state or being, comfort, and appoint or give unto them— LIFE— and life abundantly (satan comes to do the opposite; and two bows, sets of arrows or workers and kingdom affiliates— are given unto this endeavor of the warring of light and darkness— pertaining to the creation and lives of men).  The Holy Spirit manifests through the sons of God— to glorify, to dignify— the Lord God, and his kingdom.

The workmanship of satan— is evil— in actions.  

The workmanship of God— is Jesus— in actions.

The unholy spirits/devils— operate in actions that are representing their kingdom-way.  

The Holy Spirit of God and holy angels, and spirits of holy men— operate in actions, representing their kingdom-way: and that way is the fruit of God’s Spirit expressed through a human heart and mind— leading to actions of God and godliness in/through that vessel.  When the Spirit is over a man who is in league with, or in oneness with— the Spirit of the living God.  Then the Holy (set apart, meaning— very different) Spirit of God— is upon that man TO DO: purposeful actions of divinity-life, as God moves a reverent man of God who is one with Jesus.

He will not crush those that are already crushed by the spirit of this world— he shall heal, he shall liberate, he shall make whole— by divine law— unto truth.  A person’s spirit who is barely flickering yet— he will not snuff them out— but restore, recover, rekindle, and ignite them once again— by his divine law— unto truth.  The thief comes to steal, kill, or destroy— but the Lord comes that we might have life, and life abundantly!

Remember: there is a true Christ, and an Anti-Christ: both with a bow and arrows; and we shall truly know which men are children of the devil, or those of Christ Jesus— the one true God; for their fruits will reveal them (their words, deeds, and wills to move— either in league with God and godliness, or of the devil and unrighteous actions).

The sons of God are to be living proofs of God’s workmanship— in Christ Jesus— in us, in action and deed; and his Spirit will bear witness or record of the Father’s righteous works in and of us through repentance— or not: a state of born again, or anew— whereby the natural man moves and operates as the divine man of God— who has had his natural nature reformed to that of the Lord God’s likeness (not the carnal nature— that dies, the natural man’s nature— meaning, the material man’s soul nature— is now that of God’s nature— in operation in his/her living soul).  For true belief— union, agreement, and workmanship— reforms and resurrects us from death to life; and a natural product will come to be of the goodness of God— in the material man— in actions of divine love and providence (which means to ‘see in foreknowledge’ which would be— to be led of God in headship).  For a living faith is wrought with good works— and is our foundation in the truth and Jesus Christ our Head: good works (God works) are the visible fruits of a living faith relationship with the Way, Truth, and Life (Jesus).  And these shall go about doing good; for he is in them, for them, and anointing them to do so: and in this— God is glorified in the sons of God.

Acts 10:38

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”

God is truly desiring to use his Word, Truth, and Bow (and arrows) for— THE SWORD (arms) OF THE LORD GOD— to set captives free, heal fractured hearts (minds, ways, affections, actions, affiliations, lives, of spiritual man— in soul life), deal with the devil— countering his works (workmanship) with His own workmanship— and ministers of— with fruit proofs (results of being his sons): he’s come to preach salvation to us, he’s sent unto us— for just a workmanship in us— as this!

He has bestowed GREAT LOVE OF THE FATHER— upon us, and we should be walking in and of him— and thus be called the sons of God now.  We shall now be as he is— for he has come and manifested himself to us— that we should be creations unto good works now— lest our faith be dead (vain).  And every man that has this hope in him —purifies himself, even as he is pure.

Whoever remains transgressing his spiritual divine law conduct of his person (form) and way (conduct in/of actions of his form/person/character) —that man is a child of the devil— or lawless; but whoever remains living in and from him, who has seen, stared into— at the Lord God, in and of his person, attending to him, and experiencing him) has KNOWN GOD— perceived and understood him within.  As he has come to take away (remove out of us) our sins; for in him— is no sin (lawlessness, perversion of godliness or righteousness), and thus— we are not to be of that form or likeness either: but spiritually lawful sons of God’s kingdom and way of him.

Do not be deceived— those who do righteousness— are righteousness in action, form, and likeness— even as he is.  Those who do not righteousness— as He does— are not righteousness— but he who commits actions of sin still yet of the devil.  BUT— for this purpose— THE WORD WAS MADE MANIFEST TO US— that in and through him— he might destroy the works of the devil— FROM OUR LIVES!!!

For whosoever is birthed out of God (born of God) does not perform sin —because the seed of Righteousness remains (lives and moves, dwells) from him: because he is birthed forth from the womb of God (developed new creations birthed forth).  

It is being able to move in divine love— that confirms us, affirms our nature in us, and gives us confidence— in our relationship with the Word of God, Jesus Christ.  For we have passed from death to life— because we love the others: and that love— will work aspects of God and godliness, with fruit proofs, toward others.  In this we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren— as Jesus did (which means— be sanctified to have the Father work from us— as Jesus did).  For if we shut ourselves off from being and moving in love— toward others— how does the love of God (his divine law conduct, character, and reverence to him in all his substance) dwell, abide, live, and move from us??

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.  For confidence toward God comes— when we keep his commands in us— as he directs us in his divine law as our Headship; and we do the things that are pleasing in his sight.  For when we shall do and be as this— we shall ask and receive of him.

Thereby we should commit ourselves unto him— fully— in/on his authoritative character (name) and equity of the Son— Jesus Christ, Yah’Shua Ha Mashiach— the messiah of God, and the Lamb: and LOVE ONE ANOTHER— as he has given us commandment to do (injunction— a command imposed, to join, and prescription of that precept).  

He that keeps his commandments (injunction— a command imposed, to join, and prescription of that precept) —dwells (or— stays in place, state, relation, and present) in him, and he in us. And by that— we know that he abides in us— by the Spirit which he has given us.

• We know that we are living (dwelling) —in and from him— when we are obeying his headship in us, and the fruit results of his person— become evident through us; as he gives us injunction and authoritative prescription of precept (that’s a teaching about the way to live).  And in that— we know he is living in and from us: and in those workings, his workmanship made manifest (showing from) us— we know that the Holy Spirit that he gave us— is LIVING IN US: that’s— the one true God finding his being— moving— in us!  And those— are the sons of God— who are, with union to God, and reverence to the Lord God— DESTROYING THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL: and signs and wonder follow these believers (those who have [G4100] committed themselves unto the name [G3686] authoritative character —of God).

For….

Mark 16:17-18

“These signs shall follow those who believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”

These proofs shall follow (accompany) those who believe (who are committed to him, in/of his name— authoritative character and command of Spirit): they shall cast out devils— for devils have been cast out of them (with all they consist of), they shall speak with new tongues (speech, words of character and way), take up serpents (deal with devils as they come against them); and if they take in any spiritual deadly thing (drink) —it shall not hurt them (for God is with them, and will straighten it out in them— for his Spirit is given all authority and rule within them): these shall lay hands (their power of actions and deeds) upon the sick (the oppressed of the devil) —and they shall recover: for these are the sons of God— who follow after the Lamb— in all divine law of love, truth, and righteousness: and their fruit is known— as they walk in/of the Spirit of God— in heaven (spirit) and earth (soul) life.

Jesus comes to destroy the works of darkness— the devil: and he commissions us to the same— as he resurrects us from death to life— in and of his Holy Spirit: to accomplish the works of the Father in us— that he should be glorified in the sons of God.
