Isaiah 32:5-6, 9-10, 13-20
“The vile person [wicked, foolish] shall be no more called liberal [magnanimous, free], nor the churl [stingy and ungenerous] said to be bountiful. For the vile person will speak villany [moral foolishness, crimes, folly], and his heart will work iniquity [vanity, wickedness, idolatry, unrighteousness] —to practice hypocrisy [moral filth], and to utter error [mistake and injury] against the Lord…
Rise up, you women [wife is used here more times in scripture than woman] that are at ease [secure in haughtiness and tumult]; hear my voice, you careless daughters [relationship, apple of my eye branch and company]; give ear unto my speech. Many days and years shall you be troubled [quiver in emotion, be afraid, disquieted, fall out, fret, quake, shake and tremble] —you careless women: for the vintage [wine crop, fruit] shall fail [perish and be consumed]— the gathering [collection of fruits] shall not come.
Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy [delight and mirth]— in the joyous city: Because the palaces [the elevation, from its height] shall be forsaken [dispersed, thrust down, rejected, let alone, remitted, let fall, loosed]; the multitude of the city [place guarded by waking/watch, the encampment or post, court] shall be left [relinquished, loosened, fail, left destitute, refused]; the forts [fortresses and strongholds] and towers [watch lookouts] shall be for dens [cavernous holes, as dark] forever— a joy of wild asses, a pasture [a haunt of wild] of flocks [a herd, like sheep];
Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high [the altitude/place of elevation, dignity, upward]— and the wilderness [desert] be a fruitful field [garden producing, plentiful]— and the fruitful field— be counted for a forest [thick with verdure— lush, green and fresh; honey in the comb— as hives in trees].
Then —judgment [divine law, right manner, discretion and custom and decree] shall dwell in the wilderness [desert barren] —and righteousness [rightness, moral virtue, prosperity, right acts]— remain in the fruitful field (here, spiritually— the soul/heart of man).
And the work [actions, transaction, activity and product] of righteousness [rightness, moral virtue, prosperity, right acts]— shall be peace [safe, friendly, welfare, prosperity, favor, rest and being well]; and the effect [actions and bondage to/bondservant of, in ministering and service wrought] of righteousness [rightness, moral virtue, prosperity, right acts]— is quietness [rest, still and settled] and assurance [refuge, safety/security, feelings of trust, confidence, hope, surety] forever.
And my people shall dwell in a peaceable [happy, friendly, prospering, favored, good, resting, whole/perfect] habitation [at home, lovely, home of God/temple where men reside, in the flock/pasture], and in sure [secure refuge, assurance, confidence and trust] dwellings [residence, hut/tent, temple/tabernacle] —and in quiet [secure in tumult] resting places [of repose, peaceable, consolation— specifically in matrimony, resting and still]; When it shall hail— coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low [depressed— pushed down, humbled, abased]— in a low place [pressed down].
Blessed are you— who sow [plant and produce, conceive seed and yield] beside all waters [courses of water (symbolic of spiritual circumstances)] —that send forth the feet [steps able of endurance] of the ox (symbolic of the heavy burden bearing servant of the Lord), and the ass (symbolic of the humble burden bearer).”
______
The wicked and foolish will not be magnanimously free to do their will, nor the ungenerous to be bountiful— this is saying that the law of sow and reap is coming into play— and changes are coming in.
The vile person’s speaking moral foolishness— actual crimes and folly— against righteousness and truth, who will walk in vanity, wickedness, idolatry and unrighteousness— who practice moral filth and utter injurious, mistaken words against the lord— will not stand/remain.
Moral correctness— is righteousness, and God holy, is righteous and true; to speak crimes against him— is to purport an opposite to who he is: claiming he is unjust, unmerciful, ungracious, untrustworthy, unfaithful, impotent (powerless), unloving, or any other attribute that scripture clearly states— about who I AM, is: that means— who I AM, is ‘being,’ at ALL TIMES: for he is eternal.
It also means— the immoral man will not only believe lies about the nature, character and person of God holy, righteous and true— but he will be simultaneously walking in IDOLATRY: idolatry, is when God, righteousness, the truth, and the God of— are not upheld within a man’s high places (mind/heart/soul), but something else is— and that something else— IS CREATED, not the creator.
That means— if we create a fictitious lie, scenario and construct of belief within us— we are idolizing ourselves, the lies, the misconstrued identity of God— and have ourselves, our opinions, our ways, insights, perspectives, and wicked imaginings— that are opposite of who God really is— ON THE THRONE WITHIN US, in the high places of man— satan’s rhetoric stands, not the truth.
It also says— arise you bride of Christ, you wife and partner of the living God (woman), you who are at ease, and secure in your haughtiness and tumult: the haughtiness is the pride to believe the lie; we are in pride— when we are upholding our own reasonings, lies and things contrary to God— and a tumult is in operation within us— and we are not throwing it down.
Hear my voice— you careless people in relationship with me, who are the apple of my eye— the branch and company of the Lord (daughters); many days and years you will be troubled— for these ways being erected into your high places; you will quiver emotionally, you will be afraid, disquieted (lack of peace), you will fall out (freak out), fret, quake/shake and tremble— for you are found in idolatry, upholding lies, and casting down the truth of God within you; as well as walking in darkness— and so, for this— you will be IN FEAR.
You careless wife (partner of God) —the vintage wine crop, and fruit of our intimacy— shall fail, perish and be consumed in this drought of love, faith, trust, partnership and loyalty to me and my truth; and because of this— the collection of fruits (first harvest of people, fruits of the Lord) —shall not come in: that means— shall not MATURE in you.
Upon this land (earthen vessel) of my people— has come up thorns and briers (these choke out the word/truth); yes— upon all your vessels (houses) of joy, delight and mirth— in the city or place that’s normally guarded, watched over, the encampment or post, and COURT of our intimacy).
Because the places of elevation— the high places within each man (the palaces) are forsaken— they have been dispersed, thrust down, rejected, let alone, remitted, let to fall and loosed from your importance, care and watch.
The palaces, the places that were to be guarded, watching wakefully, and encamped, posted and upheld in the court (heart/garden) are left, relinquished, loosened (parted ways with), failed, left destitute and refused; that’s a walk of intimacy in the truth, actually partnering with God and upholding him— was LET GO OF, not upheld.
And the strongholds and towers, watchouts and fortresses of GOD— that was to be erected inside the man who upholds him and his truth— shall now be dens, or cavernous holes in darkness, and forever be— a haunt for wild (undisciplined) sheep/people (flocks); because God and his truth was not upheld, but instead, errored thinking, and injurious slander to his name— believing opposite of him, and upholding that— was instead, erected into the high places within man.
And until the Spirit is poured upon these people from on high— which is the place HIGH ABOVE all the lower thinking, the place of high altitude and elevation— dignity from upward, not downward ways, and principled beliefs— and the truth upheld…
and until that heart garden goes from being a wilderness of desert, dry land (where the wicked fowl/birds dwell, spirits) —and become a fruitful field (garden producing godly fruit), and that fruitful field (heart) of that man become as like the thick and lush, green, freshness of God’s garden (based in the truth and righteousness) within a man, where the honey of intimacy with the truth is cultivated, like trees with hives…
The divine law— right manner of God’s righteous ways, discretion and customs and decree of heaven— will not move this barren desert (man’s soul) into becoming a fruitful field of moral virtue, prosperity, and right acts; and will remain in unrighteousness— born of the carnal nature upheld, that swims in unbelief, pride and fear— as they honor the wrong kingdom within the soul (mind/heart).
The actions, transaction (that’s receiving from above), and activity and product of that activity or work— of righteousness, right moral virtue, and actions of— is PEACE, SAFETY, FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT, WELFARE— things working together for good, FAVOR, REST and WELL BEING.
The EFFECT, that’s the actions and bondage, being a bondservant of righteousness— and ministering in services wrought of righteousness, and the truth upheld— IS QUIETNESS, REST, STILLNESS, being SETTLED WITHIN A MAN’S SOUL/heart/mind: giving this man— ASSURANCE, REFUGE, SAFETY/SECURITY, FEELINGS OF TRUST, CONFIDENCE, HOPE, SURETY— forever!
And then— my people shall dwell in a PEACEABLE, HAPPY, FRIENDLY, PROSPERING, FAVORED, GOOD, RESTING, WHOLE/PERFECT ‘habitation,’ —which means— their home vessel, a lovely home or temple of God, where men reside with God, within— in the flock (body of Christ); and they will be in surety, secure in refuge, assurance intact, confidence erected and trust enacted— in that residence, hut/tent, temple/tabernacle— abiding with our God: both we in him, and he and his righteousness and truth— in us, and upheld in the high places of us.
As that takes place, we are quieted, secure— even in tumultuous circumstances in the world; and our resting places of repose, peaceable in consolation— like a marriage of matrimony (partnership with the truth, coupling with it) —no matter the circumstances in this lifetime; when it shall hail down a flood from the enemy, upon the forest of people (the mighty oaks) —the people of the lord, who are in the guarded, watched, encamped court of the heart— when they are pressed down, humbled and abased— THEY WILL BE BLESSED.
They who sow or plant, produce and conceive the seed of Christ— and bring it to a yielded crop within their souls— beside any waters (symbolic of spiritual affairs, life’s issues); because they send forth the steps of able endurance— like that of the burden bearing ox nature of God holy— when the heavy load comes, they will bear up under it, and be at rest in Christ— and as the humble servants of the Lord.
We MUST uphold the truth, and the God of, inside of us, for real— or we will not have God holy in us, with us, erected as Most High one, all powerful— bringing all of his kingdom and assets of— INTO US, and ERECTED IN US— like peace, rest, security, safety, quietness and confidence into our inner soul man; because WE— did not remain ‘in Christ—’ where only the truth, righteousness (his ways) and belief in him is: we must be believers who uphold the truth, and walk in the truth (walk it out inside our own person, living in it— becoming the bible/truth incarnate, as living epistles, and duplicates of our Lord/the Word); or— we will never come into the rest of the Lord, the PEACE— which is godly order, because we do not uphold him within.
______
Matthew 13:22
“He also that received seed among the thorns —is he who hears the word— and the care [distraction, and anxious concern (solicitude)] of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches [possessions] —choke [strangle completely, drown and crowd out] the word [the divine expression of Christ] —and he becomes [is found in action] unfruitful [barren].”
______
Barrenness— being unfruitful (and we must bear his fruit— or we will be cast off the vine, like the lukewarm spewed out, in the end) —comes about when idolatry is upheld within; and those are works— opposite of Christ and the truth— as one worships the created (that’s the person, like ourselves, or a created construct of belief) instead of the Creator, and in that— THE WORD IS CHOKED, STRANGLED, DROWN and CROWDED OUT OF THAT MAN’S SOUL/heart/mind: all because this man got caught up in the world, and the spirit of this world down here— and minded both; concerned with affairs, experiences, feelings and undertakings DOWN HERE— not focused on he, who is above: and so— the thorns choked this one— and the truth died from within; the truth of God’s person, their identity of person, and all his nature attributes, and assets of the kingdom— like peace.
Peace— is just the result of God’s truth and presence upheld —INSIDE A MAN’S HIGH PLACES— for real.
______
John 15:1-16
“I am the true vine— and my Father is the husbandman.
Every branch in me that bears not fruit— he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit— he purges it— that it may bring forth more fruit.
[That means— if you begin to uphold the truth within, he will continue to cleanse the darkness from you— if you will uphold the truth, remaining constant (resolute) and loyal to it, keeping it in the high places of your mind/heart within you —and he will cause more TRUTH, and more of HIS PERSON— to shine forth unto you, through you, and to the world: more fruit produced, more maturity developed— unto the full stature of Christ becoming erect (grown into) inside of you.]
Now —you are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. So abide in me— and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself— except it abides in the vine; no more can you (bear good fruit, produce) —except you abide in me.
I am the vine— you are the branches: He who abides in me, and I in him— the same brings forth much fruit: for without me —you can do nothing.
[Our own trying and works of— will never be fruitful; we must be partnering with the holy Spirit, with his power, his righteousness of Christ erect in us— to be successful at anything within us: BUT— in full confidence of him (God) erect inside of us, and in function— ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE, and one will feel the power of that being accomplished— when the truth is upheld within, and the person of God, truly— in the souls of men.]
If a man abides not in me— he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire— and they are burned.
If you abide in me— and my words abide in you— you shall ask what you will— and it shall be done unto you.
Herein (here is how) my Father is glorified— that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples.
As the Father has loved me— so have I loved you: continue —in my love.
If you keep my commandments— you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy —might remain in you— and that your joy —might be full.
This is my commandment— That you love one another, as I have loved you.
Greater love has no man than this— that a man lay down his life— for his friends.
You are my friends— if you do whatever I command of you.
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father— I have made known unto you.
You have not chosen me— I have chosen you, and ordained you— that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that —your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name— he may give it to you.”
______
OUR FRUIT, actually— the fruit of successful union in oneness with the Spirit of the Lord— MUST REMAIN and CONTINUE TO BE PRODUCED IN US: you will know the children of God— by what the union with the holy Spirit, and the Truth (word of God) are producing in that intimacy union —with the one who exalts both within them: these will produce the fruits of the holy Spirit in them— PEACE, being one.
And JOY— doesn’t come— lest we exalt his COMMAND in us: if we are believing lies, upholding lies about who he is, and lies about who he made us to be (our true identity) —we do not get the Joy of the Lord erect within us, for we are walking in darkness, and he is in the Light: when the Light becomes exalted within us (the truth) —then we will carry the benefits (assets and attributes) of the Light— and peace, being at rest and at one with God— is one of those benefits.
The Father’s job is to cut and trim us, reshape us back into his image— if we buck him on that, uphold lies and untruths about him or our own true identity he made us in— we are REFUSING TO BE RETURNED TO THE TRUTH, and OUR TRUE IMAGE RESHAPED; we are refusing to repent from our wicked ways— and yet continue in them: he will force no man into salvation relationship with the Word/truth and his person.
WE— MUST BECOME BELIEVERS OF HIM, HIS TRUTH, HIS GOODNESS— and uphold it in the high places of us— casting down ANYTHING, and EVERYTHING— that walks, talks, or even stinks of being UNRIGHTEOUS, and NOT THE WAYS OF HIS PERSON, or the TRUTH: this is our reasonable service— if we are ‘believers’ of God and his righteousness.
______
Matthew 3:1-2, 8, 10
“In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea— And saying— Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance. And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which brings not forth good fruit— is hewn down, and cast into the fire.”
______
To hew down fruits that are not duplicate of Christ— is a good thing: both in us, removing darkness— as well as removing darkness from the family of God; this is why the lukewarm are cast out— in the judgment: the house of God will remain loyal, pure and repentant (turned around— in righteousness again).
Bringing the ax to those operations in us— is the love of God, and his desire to save; it’s just— WE CANNOT BUCK HIM ON THIS. He will do all he can to show you the truth— YOU— must believe it, and STEP INTO IT (this is to live in Christ): and in that— you WILL PRODUCE HIS FRUIT, for in him— is only fruits of righteousness, truth and holiness: in this— we become duplicates, seedlings, plantings of the Lord— successfully grown into maturity.
Uphold the Truth and person of, in his righteous ways erect inside of you— and you will be a fruit producer: LOVE HIM TRULY— by obeying his Word/person of Christ and the Truth— and give all your STRENGTH of your soul/heart, mind to do it— and you will reproduce the fruit of Christ in your life: IT TAKES DIRECT EFFORT— no man accomplishes at-one-ment, at rest in Christ— without MASSIVE EFFORT to cast down all that is not Christ or truth within them.
But with this— peace, rest, quietness, safety, security, confidence and atonement (at-one-ment) with God holy— takes place— along with ALL HIS OTHER BENEFICIAL FRUITS OF HIS SPIRIT: these, are the children, duplicate, seedlings of the Father’s seed— God’s image bearers.
______
1 Timothy 2:2
“For kings, and for all who are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life— in all godliness and honesty.”
______
Peaceable living, quiet unto kings of God— comes in godliness and honesty: this means— BEING GENUINE WITH GOD, authenticity— living what we claim or know of scripture; and walking in that righteousness— which is godliness, as he is— we find ourselves being.
______
Hebrews 12:11
“Now— no chastening for the present— seems to be joyous, but (instead) grievous: nevertheless, afterward— it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness— unto them who are exercised (thereby, or in it).”
______
Who are exercised (disciplined) by it; we must be disciplined people of the Lord, he said so: and in this— you are my disciples, students in discipline of his nature, ways, and leadership.
His correction in us, his reshaping us— is not comfortable, or easy, or pleasurable at first— and it takes EFFORT, and good, blood (his), sweat (ours with him), and tears (both his and ours) to get us reformed: he knows this.
It’s not joyous at first, or during all the reshaping— BUT— afterwards, it yields PEACEABLE FRUIT: after reformation within— we get the blessing of the peace that envelopes us, even in all that comes our way in this lifetime.
______
James 3:17
“The wisdom from above, is first pure— then peaceable, gentle— and easy to be entreated— full of mercy and good fruits— without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”
______
No hypocrisy, no wishy-washy, back and forth— claim it, read it, memorize it, but not LIVE IT— kind of lifestyle— will bring peace to you: we must be DOERS OF THE WORD— to gain the benefits of the peace of God being erected within a man’s soul.
The peace of God— is godly order being restored, where once the chaos of unrighteousness was reigning in that man; if we never stop the unrighteous thoughts, beliefs, ways, patterns of behavior upheld— how will we be exalting righteousness, or the King of— and receive his benefits of peacefulness in us??
Why would we grow fruits meet of repentance— which means, turned around fruits, from the turned around thinking and behavior— if we are not walking in the truth, upholding the truth, or walking the paths of the righteous ways of Christ??
For we are walking opposite paths, producing opposite fruits: so— what is the opposite fruit of PEACE? CHAOS!!
If you are experiencing chaos, and the effects within you— what lie is erected about God’s nature and person, the truth? Or what lie is erected about your true identity?
Because it’s rooted in either of those— and those— are rooted in PRIDE, UNBELIEF, UNRIGHTEOUSNESS and EVIL (moral wrong beliefs and behaviors) —and chaos and FEAR— are the result.
Perfect Love (that’s God himself) naturally (or, of his nature erect) —casts out all fear, for fear has torment— and comes from the kingdom of hell being erect inside a man’s soul/mind/heart.
God holy is very calm, still and confident— his fruit will be erected and grown within you (like peace) —when you are upholding his person and truth within your soul/heart/mind: until then— the light has not penetrated you yet (the truth), and you yet remain in darkness, producing the fruit of: hence, FEAR, or— LACK OF PEACE, for the Prince thereof, the God of Shalom and his truth— is not alive and exalted in the high places of this man, resulting in the opposite of God erect: the nature of the fallen, the carnal— where godly order (peace) is not.
______
Matthew 5:9
“Blessed are the peacemakers [peaceable]: for they shall be called the children of God.”
______
The Strong’s definition for peacemakers— is peaceable; how many of us desire to be peaceable inside? I would assume— EVERYONE; well— the children, or the product of the truth, the Word and the righteous King of, and his ways— erect inside a man— brings about PEACEABLENESS in that man; these will be PRODUCERS OF PEACE, makers of peace: they will first make peace, or reconciliation to the TRUTH (he’s a person and way) —and thereby— with that affiliation/partnership with God and his Truth— these will be producers of peace too, for that is Christ’s nature.
The children of God— you will know them by the fruit of PEACE that spills forth from them: children of bondage to carnality still upheld— will walk in chaos, fear, unbelief, uncertainty, doubt, anxiety and more— for it is born of darkness, and darkness is where the TRUTH/LIGHT is not upheld.
Freedom is as easy as ‘changing your mind,’ changing your ‘behaviors,’ changing your PATTERNS OF CONDUCT, and changing your PRINCIPLED BELIEFS INSIDE: with the Spirit of the all powerful God in and with you— ALL THINGS ARE EASILY DOABLE, but do you believe that?
For we must be— BELIEVERS: he raised Christ from the dead, who is on the throne alive today— and whose spirit is in you: he is more than capable of resurrecting YOU FROM DEATH TO LIFE— as well; bringing you out of darkness and into the glorious light, of the children of God.
We can know each other— and which kingdom is really upheld— by what our behaviors, words, actions and beliefs— produce: no one can feign anything/fake anything— God searches the hearts; best we start living in the place of true belief that God is real, God is good, God is for us, God is love, God is faithful and trustworthy, God is working all this garbage that happens to us in this world— together for our good (like all the stories of those before us), God is powerful and capable.
For the spirit realm knows which kingdom, belief constructs, and spiritual laws we walk in; I think it’s time we know for sure: and one way is— HOW IS YOUR SOUL DOING?
Are you at peace, rest, trust, confidence, security and at one— with God in this world?
For the children of God are making peace— wherever they go— for the God of peace is indwelling them, and their hope— is anchored in him, regardless of any experience, feeling/emotion, or semblance in this world: and those who encounter them— MEET THE GOD OF PEACE, godly order— when they come in contact with them.
______
Genesis 28:21
“So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God.”
______
This is a portion of the story of Jacob, returning to his Father’s house, in peace. Here the Lord is asking— if WE have returned to HIS HOUSE/temple, place of the throne of God, where all he is, all he operates as, all his person walks in— is upheld within us?
For if we truly have returned to the spiritual spaces HE RESIDES IN— we will spiritually, and in the natural (this world) —walk in his shalom/peace: not the world’s idea of peace, HIS PEACE— which is godly order setting things right, and established within each of our lives again: is the God of peace, the principled one of the peace of elevation (God’s peace), Jehovah Shalom, the Prince of Peace— the place in the spirit we are actually abiding?
That is what ‘to abide in Christ’ means: are we staying in the places he inhabits?
Is the Prince/principle one of peace, filling our vessels with his presence— because his person and character, attributes, name and nature— is being upheld within us?
Without actually honoring his person for who he really is, and walking therein (abiding in Christ), truly believing him to be Almighty, ruler over all as the high One, the Lord of all creation— who is our Father, and in whom we exalt within our minds and heart, and walk in his ways…
Without actually exalting his righteousness within our minds and hearts— without walking in that PLACE, in the spirit realm— of PEACE…
One will not therefore ‘be in’ peace, they will fundamentally be in another place, which is opposite of peace, for they are estranged from peace— and now there is a void within that man, for he refuses to uphold God’s true identity, and walk in it…
So— this man’s faith is dead— in the identity of God’s true nature, and does not uphold God in his true identity, nor couple with his nature— and finds himself UNABLE TO COME INTO THE REST OF THE LORD (his peace/shalom).
Folks— if we do not honor and exalt God, in his attributes, and walk in them ourselves— trusting God implicitly— we are OUT OF FAITH IN WHO HE IS, and we are UNBELIEVING in his person, and with that— we fundamentally cannot walk in his attributes: one being, godly order, that puts chaos OUT— and righteousness and the power of God exalted— INTO US.
If we fail to BELIEVE God is who he says he is, or fail to walk in what he provides to us— we are refusing him, and refusing what he has for us: and the only things he has for us— IS ALL HE IS: if we refuse (deny the power thereof, his internal image and Spirit) —we deny Christ within us: to deny Christ and the nature of his person— we become an UNBELIEVER IN CHRIST, in his goodness, in his faithfulness, in his power/ability, in his promises to be for us— not against us…
And in that— we are not upholding the Kingdom of God— we are upholding the kingdom of hell/death/separation/estrangement/sin and death— within: and if we don’t uncouple with all that— we will never be truly saved, for we apart, not with that belief system, and we will therefore— never enter into his rest.
_______
Hebrews 3:17-19
“But with whom was he grieved forty years? Was it not with them that had sinned— whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? And to whom he swore that— they should not enter into his rest— to them— who believed not?
So we see that they could not enter in— because of unbelief.”
_______
Unbelief in God’s identity, the truth and walking in it, within our vessels— leads a man to not enter into the rest of the Lord; how could he— he is not believing on him, and as we know in Romans— it is those who ‘believe on’ Christ— who are saved in their souls: we must have a real belief in his person, his power, his love, and his faithfulness of the truth of him— or we will never enter into his rest, peace, quietness within us, security, safety or being ‘at one’ with him again: for we are— unbelievers of him: and in that— we are still sinning against him, denying the truth of his person, exalting our faulty and injurious belief system— against him and his nature, name and person, against the truth— holding it higher within our souls— than the actual truth of his person: we are in idolatry to our own ways, reasonings, beliefs, behaviors— and patterns we continue in— instead of casting all that down, and upholding the truth.
How can peace that comes only from God holy— fill a man’s vessel— where the God of truth, and his true identity and faithfulness, and power— is not upheld?
For PEACE is a byproduct OF HIS PERSON— and no other person: and is a byproduct of the TRUTH UPHELD— no other philosophy, based in lower realm, devilish wisdom— will ever bring peace: it only exists in God— the God of godly order upheld within, and based in the truth.
_______
Isaiah 57:1-2
“...the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds— each one walking in his uprightness.”
_______
When we will walk in righteousness (truth exalted and lived, as like our Lord), we will rest in our beds, and enter into peace: and the righteous are taken away from evil: this means— those walking in the truth will be separated out, protected from and kept safe of evil (which is moral unrighteousness): can we see that exalting the truth within— safeguards a man’s soul from FEAR, and brings godly order in (peace)?
_______
Hebrews 4:1-3
“Let us therefore fear [honor, regard, exalt] —lest, a promise of entering into his rest— is left us— or any of you should seem to come short of it.
For unto us was the gospel [the good news of Christ] preached— as well as unto them: but the word preached— did not profit them— not being mixed with faith in them —who heard it.
For we who have believed— do, enter into rest, as he said…”

If we will FEAR (reverence God and the truth, exalting it into our high places within us, our minds/hearts/souls/beliefs/actions/behaviors — we will not fall short of entering into his peace/rest: for we BELIEVED IN THE GOOD NEWS, that Christ and his Spirit have come unto us, to make reconciliation with us, bringing us into the light.
But if we will not exalt the truth and King of— inside of us, and yet walk in unrighteousness and idolatry to our own wicked beliefs, that are in error, and injurious to the name of God— then the gospel will not benefit us, meaning— will not bring us into his rest, and save us— for we do not believe on him, or trust in it or him: and so— it profits not these, who could not, or would not— COUPLE FAITH— WITH THE HEARING OF THE WORD.
We must be believers— who couple with the truth, exalt it within— and the God thereof: and if we will, and do— we will rest in his peace, being peaceable inside, and making peace— wherever we go with him.
_______
Peace Offerings— mean, a requital, that is— a voluntary sacrifice in thanks; how often are we thankful, IN TRUTH— from within our souls/hearts— toward God in his righteousness?
His righteousness is his person, upholding his character and nature; so— are we IN FAITH, are we IN BELIEF— for real— about his true nature and person?
If so, we will be giving him, from our hearts— A PEACE OFFERING; which, spiritually— is faith in his person to be true and faithful to his word, his character and honorable in his actions. And if we are doing that— PEACE— will be a byproduct of that exaltation of his person and nature, his character.
It is only when we are NOT offering thanksgiving to his person’s TRUE IDENTITY— that we falter, doubt in his goodness and person— and fall into FEAR, which is rooted in UNBELIEF of his person, goodness, nature, and names sake reputation— of the God of righteousness.
And anything we do OUT OF FAITH IN GOD— ‘is sin.’
Romans 14:23
“...for whatsoever is not of faith— is sin.”
If we are outside of faith in God— why would we, an unstable man in all we are, who is double minded— having a wavering belief in God— expect to receive anything of the God of Peace?
James 1:6-8
“But let him ask in faith— nothing wavering. For he who wavers —is like a wave of the sea— driven with the wind, and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
In order to HAVE— what the God of Peace HAS— TO GIVE A MAN— a man, must uphold the God of Peace, in his TRUE IDENTITY, and in RIGHTEOUSNESS erected into the high places of that man (walk in it); it is when we REFUSE THE GOD OF PEACE, in his true nature— that we will walk in UNBELIEF (faithlessness) in/toward God— and anyone in unbelief toward God, is in pride and sin— and fear is a result.
You see— it’s pride— to walk separated from God; pride— resulted in estrangement in the Garden; and with that estrangement— came fear, unbelief, doubt, shame, hiding, nakedness (lack of righteous covering), and so much more: if we do not return to EXALTING GOD, coming under God, BELIEVING IN HIS GOODNESS AGAIN— we will remain ‘outside’ God, estranged within our hearts/souls (for we uphold him as untrustworthy inside, which is what happened in the Garden when they listened to satan, who said God was keeping something from them— and they fell into self focus/pride) —and without actually RECONCILING (recoupling) with God and his righteousness upheld within us…
We will continue to walk apart from him, not yoked to his identity (his person and presence), continue to walk in opposition (as his opposite, opposing his person and nature and attributes) whilst upholding the opposite nature of sin, fear, doubt/unbelief, pride and more…
And if we do not re-couple with him— through a TOTAL TURN AROUND, coming TOWARD HIM, WILLINGLY— because we trust, desire, and love him…
We will never be able to come into all he is, all he has, and rest (in trust of his person) —in a state of peace within.
You see— peace within, comes from the presence of the Lord within us: if we are not exalting him, his person, his attributes, nature, character (righteousness) within, and we are swimming in the paths of unrighteousness and the law of (it has one, a conduct of) —then we will be coupled with his OPPOSITE (as we are opposition to him and his nature) —which is FEAR/ANXIETY, UNBELIEF, PRIDE, SHAME, HIDING, MISTRUST/DOUBT, and more— of the fallen nature.
We MUST ‘be,’ which means— a current action of what we are doing— a people OF FAITH IN GOD: it’s literally— the number one requirement.
You can go through life claiming to uphold him, his person and name— but in actuality be far from walking in his righteousness that he gave (which means rejecting it, relinquishing it, refusing it) —to walk in his opposite: he will not force a man to uphold him, or his righteousness— in the high places of that man (mind/heart).
A people of true faith in God— are a people who truly BELIEVE in the character and faithfulness of his person— REGARDLESS of what it looks like down here, OR FEELS LIKE— in our wicked hearts, that are deceitful (meaning, fickle, and seeks its own, and prone to walk in darkness in this world).
We need to become a people who are disciplined in getting their thoughts and emotions— in line with Christ: it’s when we stray from being in alignment with him— that we venture into chaos.
A people of FAITH— are the Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego people; the Daniel in the Lion’s den people, the Moses and the Red Sea people, the Joseph sold into slavery people, the David taking on the giant people; the Esther under pressure in an evil day people, the Sarah who couldn’t conceive in earthly terms people, the Joshua and Caleb people… WHO KNEW THEIR GOD, REMAINED FAITHFUL TO HIM— and NEVER— walked outside their faith in his person, and remained leaning INTO HIM, not away from the goodness of the Father of Lights.
If we are not going to walk in the Light— how can the God of peace keep us? How can we enter into his rest— if he fundamentally said he refuses and opposes the proud? How can we rest in God, in peace— if we walk in unrighteousness and sin against his nature— by upholding unbelief in his person, born of hell’s ways?
The peace of God— which surpasses all understanding— IS A TANGIBLE SUBSTANCE, born of FAITH— on the other side, the side where all things are born in the spiritual principles we uphold.
We have, historically, in scripture— been a people of unbelief in God, and irreverent toward him (that means walk in opposition to his ways, opposing him); we cannot be an unbelieving, irreverent people— a people who walk contrary to his person— and expect the benefits of walking in UNION with his person: those two things are in opposition— a juxtaposition of grand proportions.
‘Sacrifice of peace, offerings;’ I cannot even count how many times in just the books of Leviticus and Numbers, that the phrase of ‘sacrifice of peace, offering,’ is mentioned.
A sacrifice is something offered up, and relinquished; in order to walk in peace— you must LET GO OF FEAR, and you must LET GO OF UNBELIEF IN GOD, and you must COUPLE WITH— HIS GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS and TRUTH: you must actually— be a believer in God.
We only walk in fear— when we believe lies about God; and when we believe lies about God, his person, his nature, his character, his faithfulness, his loyalty, his power to keep and to save— then, we have become unbelievers, and he has no part with unbelievers.
This means— if you are in unbelief about some part/nature/aspect of God— you will not walk in the light of truth in that area of your life— and you will be IN UNREST, afraid, fearful, unquieted, anxious, concerned, dismayed, unsettled, unsure, etcetera and so on.
Do we understand why FEAR and UNBELIEF go together, and why they are anchored in PRIDE?
Because pride— is the opposite nature of God, that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and all that is true and righteous— and when we walk in that, on the paths of unrighteousness— we walk in the nature and principled beliefs of sin and death— the fallen, unbelieving, fearful nature— born of pride— that satan seeded us with.
The truth is— the seed of Christ hasn’t taken in us— in the areas we still walk in the carnal, fearful, unbelieving ways of estrangement, lack of faith in God’s person— the places of darkness still in us; we don’t trust God— just like in the garden, are still estranged in the soul/heart/mind of us, and walk— at a distance from the Light.
We must COUPLE WITH the Light— to gain the benefits of union with the Light (God holy): and we must uphold righteousness, his ways— inside of us, in the spirit of us, brought to enlighten and free the soul— or we will continue to walk in darkness in our hearts and minds— and there, in that darkness— is torment.
And torment— is where fear is, and where LOVE— is not.
1 John 4:18
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He who fears— is not made perfect [whole] in love.”
This is why he keeps having me say— “Have you allowed him to dominate your spaces within your mind and heart? Have you allowed the domination/dominion of God holy and true— to penetrate all the dark places (thoughts and beliefs) inside of your mind/soul/heart— and set you free by the presence of him, his righteousness erected inside of you, FOR REAL— where the truth and the Spirit of the Lord are, and have SET YOU FREE?”
For when we are IN BELIEF, and IN FAITH in who he is— when we RESIDE IN CHRIST (the truth), and Christ resides in us (the truth) —and he and the truth are upheld in the high places in a man…
FREEDOM FROM FEAR, DOUBT, UNBELIEF, PRIDE and everything else… GOES AWAY— and we are then— FLOODED WITH SECURITY, HOPE, FAITH, TRUST, BELIEF, CONFIDENCE and TRUE RELATIONSHIP with Christ (the truth) and his RIGHTEOUSNESS; and they are both alive and erected within us: this is life in Christ, this is abiding in the truth, and this is— where HIS SEED— remains.
His seed must remain— if not, that means it dies; and if it dies out— the only other seed there is, that took over— was the fallen nature seed, given to us of satan, and with that seed— the thorns choked out the word of God.
DON’T LET THE WORD (the truth) BE CHOKED OUT— killed, strangled and withered from inside your minds and hearts: renew your minds to the truth, and walk therein.
I cannot make you do it, I cannot make you a believer— but I can tell you this: all it takes is you finally solidifying that you ‘could’ walk in unbelief and doubt and fear in this lifetime— but it’s really an inferior way of walking, and when push comes to shove— you’d like to BE— someone who is confident in Christ (really believing in him), trust him to be who he said he is (taking him at face value, and just believing him/the word of God), and relax in that: it’s all a choice of what you desire to walk in.
I for one desire to walk in full trust of him, no matter what happens, what it seems like— that he is working all things together for my good (like all those I mentioned above, who remained in faith to him), and that I can trust him; because the other choice is this…
You doubt him, you never MAKE YOURSELF believe, trust, relax and become resolute, you live in fear, doubt, unbelief, no rest, anxious and unbelieving— all the days of your life here, never experience the freedom of Christ (which is the truth penetrating your dark places) and you leave this realm— only to find yourself at the judgment seat of Christ…
Where he died for all men, that all men might repent from leading their own reasonings, own thoughts— out of deception, lies and misconstrued understandings— AND TRUST GOD: faith is an invisible force, but a REAL FORCE— and it saves.
Don’t walk this lifetime outside of the peace of God, because of the pride to continue to think and reason for yourself— outside of the truth of God’s person— only to find yourself estranged from him now inside, and then continuing in that estrangement— for eternity.
There is power in belief; there is freedom in belief; there is peace, godly order restored— in the believer’s heart/soul/mind: but ONLY YOU— can decide to be a believer, and uphold him inside for real, and his righteous ways.
If we remain upholding unrighteous ways (doubt, fear, pride, unbelief in his nature, person, goodness) —we cannot enter into his righteousness, for we are OPPOSED TO IT, meaning— we have CHOSEN to walk contrary to it— because what ‘we’ feel, think/reason, perceive, experience in this carnal/material realm— is in fact— MORE REAL TO US— than he is.

Word from the Lord
_______________________
“Yep—” he just said.
“It’s literally that, Janet; what you give yourself over to in belief— is your reality; if you believe in me, my power, my being high above all principalities and powers, and actually swim in those spaces with confidence— inside you— you will be in my peace and shalom, for you uphold the God of, IN FAITH, for real— inside your high places (thoughts/minds/heart/souls).
It is when your high places remain in darkness— you can know all the KNOWLEDGE of me, but will not OPPOSE the contrary knowledge of me— in your minds, casting down everything (you, and your thoughts and preconceived concepts of me) that sets itself against the truth of WHO I AM —that you stay estranged from me— for you will not believe me when I tell you who I am, what I have planned for you, that I am for you— not against you, that I am high above all powers, and desire to SAVE YOUR SOUL FROM THE THE DARKNESS that has invaded it.
And so— you remain FEARFUL OF ME, my goodness, my faithfulness, my plans for you that I planned out for your good ending— from the the beginning; and instead— YOUR BELIEFS— TRUMP— my truth, and you enter not into my rest, for you will not uphold the TRUTH WITHIN YOUR MIND and HEART.
It’s a sad, sad, state of affairs within the hearts and minds of men and women— and WE— cannot ‘make them’ believers, or ones who exalt the truth into the high places (heart and mind/thoughts = beliefs) within them: only they can do the work.
And, with all sacrifices— something must GO— to bring something else in: darkness, unbelief and doubt, pride and fear must all be RELINQUISHED— meaning, you do not hold tight to them anymore— You put your ALL (I said, ALL YOUR STRENGTH OF HEART) INTO THROWING THOSE THINGS DOWN, and OUT OF YOUR MIND: you do not ‘mind’ those things any longer— and now, you mind Christ, you mind the truth, you have a RENEWED MIND— and the truth penetrates you, for you LET IT IN, and KEEP IT THERE (I did say, guard and keep the truth, with all diligence) —and there— the truth is able to SET YOU FREE FROM ALL THE STRONGHELD BELIEFS, you once upheld— in your high places.
Without this work— one remains bound, and the bondage is to sin and death: and peace, rest, quietness, comfort, security and confidence in your God, or vessel— does not reside in death and sinning (doing, being, acting, believing, operating— opposite of how I do).
If you want the benefits (stuff I have) of God— then uphold God, seek my domination of the truth over lies— within your vessel (the dominion of the king); and my righteousness being erected in you— upholding the truth, and throwing down EVERY THOUGHT, EVERY EMOTION, EVERY TIME— they rear their heads in opposition to me: in this— is your rest, as you ‘come into’ the truth.
The holy Spirit is here to couple with, for every man who will: but he will not force you to uphold the truth my people: he will only offer the truth to every man— it is up to every man to ‘become’ a believer in me, and in the truth— and to PLACE IT— in your high places (mind/hearts) —and believe.
Outside of belief— is faithlessness; and one cannot please me outside of faith, and one walks in opposition to me outside of faith, for outside of faith— you walk in sin: belief— sets you free, trust in me— sets you free, upholding the truth of who I am, for real— sets you free; and the Holy Spirit has been given to all— to accomplish this— you need no man teach you, only he— and he is the POWER that resurrected me (Christ), and he will resurrect you from death, sin, estrangement, rebellion to me and the truth, and pull you out of darkness being upheld within you, too.
But YOU— must choose to couple with him, and YOU— must choose to be a believer in me, and in the truth, and uphold BOTH— in your high places within you: he, nor I, nor anyone else— can make you a believer; we can only encourage you to believe the truth— I am faithful, I am true, and I am for you— not against you: and you can trust in me to work all that seems a mess, TOGETHER— for your good.
I did, after all— plan it all out— since before there was a world: BELIEVE— and in the belief upheld in the truth, and my righteousness— you will REST IN MY PEACE.”
—YahShua/the Word of Truth,

_______
Beliefs— are choices of what we desire to uphold within us; we must be a people who truly KNOW OUR GOD, and BELIEVE in who he is: if we cannot do that— we will continue to be unbelieving— and with that— we will walk in darkness, apart from him— and I would think, that’s scary to anyone.
The truth is— he died for ALL humans, that includes you; he loves ALL HUMANS that he sent forth into this earth— he desires they would return to him, which is part of repentance— turning around, reverencing him and the truth now, and changing from all those old belief patterns: becoming the newly created creature— who trust him, and has faith in him, and walks in the truth.
You know— they are just that— just PATTERNS of thoughts you’ve walked in for a long time— CHANGE YOUR MIND, walk in the OPPOSITE NOW; become a person who walks in the TRUTH NOW, and the truth is…
A person (God) who walks only in righteous holiness— COULD NEVER DO YOU WRONG— he fundamentally is NOT THAT; he is not unrighteous; he is equitable and fair, he is just— he will uphold only that of his person. So, when he says— you can trust me— DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?
Because a righteous/holy person— will not be ABLE— to walk in anything of darkness; and God holy and true— is PURE LIGHT, in him is no darkness, nor shadow of turning— that means— HE’S TRUSTWORTHY, and PURE— IN ALL HIS WAYS, THOUGHTS, INTENTIONS and ACTIONS— and his words are PURE, and always accomplish what he says he will: DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?
Because depending upon what you uphold about HIM, inside your mind and heart— determines whether you uphold him in his authenticity of his person— or, whether you uphold what satan says about him: that he cannot be trusted, and is not good, nor for you.
YOU— must become a believer of God— or nothing else of God will come into your life, for HE— is resisted in you.
Please— believe, and come into his rest.

Psalms 29:11
“The LORD will give strength to his people— the LORD will bless his people with peace.”
Psalms 34:14
“Depart from evil (that is unbelief, pride, fear, etc) —and do good; seek peace— and pursue it.”
Psalms 37:11
“The meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”
Psalms 37:37
“Mark the perfect (whole) man —and behold— the upright (walking in righteousness): for the end of that man— is peace.”
Psalms 72:7
“In his days— shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace— so long as the moon endures.”
[In scripture, symbolically/spiritually/figuratively— the moon is a symbol for the bride of Christ, those who marry themselves to him: that means, those who PARTNER WITH THE TRUTH, becoming— the truth incarnate, as coupled with the Truth— and the God thereof: so, here, it is stating— those who remain faithful to their bridegroom, exalting him within, partnering in faith with the truth and righteous walking— they will endure, and in that endurance of upholding the truth and King and God of— PEACE WILL REMAIN IN ABUNDANCE IN THIS MAN/vessel.]
Psalms 85:8
“I will hear what God, the Lord— will speak: for he will speak peace— to his people— and to his saints: BUT— let them not turn again to folly.”
[Again, the point here— if they return to folly, which is foolishness— they will have returned to sin, which is opposition to him— his person, his ways, his nature, and being under his command of them— in the high places within them: and of course— if that takes place— PEACE and REST, security, confidence and freedom in the truth and Christ— will vacate this man: we must REMAIN IN CHRIST (which is the truth).]
Psalms 85:10
“Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace— have kissed.”
[Mercy— is his love, grace and forgiveness, his person who desires for you to be saved, not perish— to be reconciled (brought back into union) with him, not estranged; and the truth is the actuality of his person’s nature, attributes, character and actions— of his holy and righteous nature of all he’s made of: when that nature is upheld in a man, when the truth of who he really is— is upheld into the high places of that man (mind/heart/soul/beliefs) —THEN PEACE will ‘couple with’ that man (kiss together).
If we desire to walk confidently in this earth, in peace and safety, and at rest within— we must uphold the truth within us, and truth is a person and his nature: he is faithful and true.
He is available, and with him— all he has is available, his peace, his rest, his love, his acceptance, his power and his desire to reform the insides of you— to rescue you from the chains of darkness (lies and wicked ways/beliefs and conduct of) —that has imprisoned us for so long.
Do we trust him though— to do this rescuing?
Because if we do— WE WILL LET HIM IN— his truth is knocking on the doors of our hearts— but child of God, YOU— are the only one that can let him in with the truth— to FREE YOU FROM BONDAGE.
I pray you will, today— and believe in him, and on him, and trust him, and couple with him, and with him— break the chains that bind you to satan’s ways, counsels, nature, fear, pride and unbelief: because your freedom is as close to you, as what you will uphold within your heart and mind— TODAY!
Come out of darkness— and enter the Light: he is in the Light, and so is freedom.
“Peace— shall be upon Israel,” is noted several times, in various places in scripture (namely— the psalms); and Israel— are the people OF FAITH IN GOD: believe— walk in the Light of Truth, believing in Christ— his faithfulness, his person of purity— and in being a BELIEVER IN CHRIST— you will ‘come into his rest,’ as you depart from darkness (lies and beliefs based in them), and step into the Light, where the Father of Lights is: and there— is your freedom from chains of bondage to darkness— BROKEN.]
Proverbs 12:20
“Deceit [fraud, falseness, feigned (fakery)] is in the heart of the those who imagine evil (that would be not believing in God’s goodness or truth of this person, his morals and character upheld); but— to the counselors of peace (godly order) —is joy.”
Proverbs 3:5-6, 17-18
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him— and he shall direct your paths. Her ways (wisdom’s ways) are ways of pleasantness— and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life— to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retains her.”
