Matthew 7
1 “Judge not [decide not upon a condemning punishment judicially, decree in law and sentence]— so that you are not judged [or, decided upon in a decree of law sentencing— of a condemning punishment].
2 For with what judgment [decision based upon a crime] you judge [decide a condemning punishment judicially, decree in law and sentence] —you shall be judged [decided upon in a decree of law sentencing— of a condemning punishment]: and with what measure [portion and degree] you mete [measure out to another in a standard, allot an estimate of] —it shall be measured [returned] to you again.”
___________________
Judgment differs from discernment; judgment comes with a sentencing and a judicial decree— discernment comes with weighing matters clearly.
Discern in Strong’s— scrutinize, look intently at, recognize and acknowledge, be acquainted with, regard; dictionary definition— perceive, recognize, distinguish— root definition, ‘to separate apart.’
Judgment in Strong’s— verdict pronounced in a sentence of law, crime and penalty, justice determination of judicial law; dictionary definition— decide and conclude a thing of a formal court (rule), divine vindication or punishment; root definition— ‘to say of law.’
One of these is laying things out (sorting them), distinguishing and acquainting yourself with matters— setting things apart— sorting; and the other is coming to a final court ruling over the matter.
The only time that a ‘final court ruling over a matter’ should be decided— is IN THE WILL OF THE FATHER; and then, and only then— ought we proceed with the decree from heaven.
“Father, not my will be done— but yours; our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come (that’s the ruling), thy WILL (decree in formal declaration of heaven, like a will and testament) BE DONE… in this earth realm, as your will is done in your heavenly abode.”
We are ambassadors, escorts of the holy living God’s Spirit within us— and we are to decree in earth, HIS WILL of orders to be carried out; we are not to guess or willy-nilly decree in and upon the inhabitants of this realm; we are to be led of the Holy Spirit of God.
Romans 8:14— “For as many as are LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD— they are the sons of God.”
Galatians 4:6— “And because you are sons, God has sent for the Spirit of his Son– into your hearts, crying— Abba, Father.”
Philippians 2:15— “That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God— without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation— among whom you shine as/like lights in the world.”
Father is saying— “what you judge, or decree a formal ruling from heaven concerning— (because we are to be using the mind of Christ, in weighing and hearing all matters out) Father will judge you in those same areas, and dish back out to you in like manner.”
Now, what does that mean in practical terms?
With how you judge (fair, or unfair, just or unjust, moral or with evil corrupt moral judgments) —Father will lump the same back as us; he will weigh, or discern and sort if we are following his decrees and lead, or if we are leading self— with and unto self determinations.
And if we are using his grace, his mercy, his forgiveness, his love, his mind, his will and his rulings— and we are bringing them forth unto the inhabitants of this world (the nations) —he will give us the same considerations.
But if we are using our own selfish minds, no grace, no mercy, no forgiveness, not asking his will to be done from the rulings and decrees of heaven— and we bring that to the nations of people, the inhabitants of this realm…
He will be faithful to give us back in like kind what we sowed: considering unto us, what we considered them with.
Like judgment, by like leadership and nature: one of God holy, and considering heaven’s decrees from the holy throne of God— or judgments considered from self, self leadership (satanic leadership) and decrees from the flesh, fallen, rebellious and corrupt throne of man’s deceitful heart.
It does NOT mean— never judge; it means— discern with the mind of Christ properly, asking and then heeding what God in and through his Spirit decrees— then call forth the judgments of God, when a judgment is required.
For the sons of God—
are led by his Spirit to do so.
Not all matters require God’s judgment; most matters will require GOD’S MERCY, which is to forgive a case against a brother.
Which is why I say— if we practice his character and nature in the discernment process when weighing all matters with God— a judgment will not need to be given— for the case will have been DISMISSED in forgiveness.
That is God’s desire in most cases —to walk in his mercies and forgiveness— but one cannot know the will of God without asking for it to come from heaven, into this earth— as Yahshua the Messiah demonstrated how to pray the Father.
Pray [or— ask, supplicate— implore from below earnestly and humbly, propitiate— win, or regain the favor of, please, made gracious/favorable] without ceasing [uninterrupted, without omission— never leaving him out].
PRAY WITHOUT CEASING = ASK and IMPLORE EARNESTLY, HUMBLY of God, to REGAIN FAVOR OF HIM, WITHOUT INTERRUPTED OMISSION OF HIM, which means to NEVER LEAVE HIM OUT of matters, as to — what is the will of God.
When living this way with and unto God— we are making him most high within, deferring all matters and judgments to him— and we will find ourselves in the favor of God, when living this way in agreement with him.
And we will not find ourselves judging matters— for God will judge the matters— we will only seek our God in discerning the matters, and listen and heed what he says unto us: for this is the role of the sons of God— to be led by his Spirit in all things.

__________________
Essentially— rolling eyes at, judging with a cast down perception of disdain at ‘their’ flaws/offenses— but oblivious to self hindernances, offensiveness against God, his nature and attributes— ‘we’ are walking in.
This is why we stated above, to DO THE WILL OF GOD, is to be in ‘alignment’ with heaven, the courts of heaven, the desires of God and one with his Spirit; but when we are enacting our ‘own will,’ desires, and judgments into play, down here in this realm— we are oblivious to our own offenses (sins) against God, have placed ourselves ‘on high’ (a pedestal), cannot see our own stink or perversion— and we are now going to be subject to the same ‘judging’ as we have sown unto others.
Only when walking as one with God, in his nature— exercising his nature and his judgments— can we walk in his favor and in peace and alignment with God: upstanding in his righteousness— this is ONENESS with God.
Acquiescing to the will of God, and not our own perceptions or judgments— places God ‘on high’ within man; and we cannot focus on God, his will, nature and decrees— whilst focusing on our own will, nature and decisions and decrees.
Deferring all rule to God is imperative— and his will moreover, is to DISMISS CHARGES and EXERCISE FORGIVENESS.
Though, his judgment of punishment will come in eventually— should man continue to transgress him; this is why it is imperative to walk in harmony with him, in agreement with him, deferring all judgments to him, and only decree the matter of a judgment into play— when God has led to do so.
“As in heaven, your will Father—
let it be so in the earth realm.”
One must ASK, or supplicate unto Father, to even know what his will is in all matters; this is why we must hear from God, and WORK AT OUR RELATIONSHIP: there is NOTHING more important in this allotted time he has given us— than to ‘PAY ATTENTION TO GOD,’ and HEAR HIM OUT as he leads us in all our ways.
We will not be secure in Christ or the Father, or know their Holy Spirit— by entertaining distractions in this realm; many things are lawful to do— good even in deeds— but are distractions from getting to know him.
From locking down and giving the living God all our time, focus, energy, love, dedication, efforts and toiling: relationship with the living God and Father of us— is the UTMOST IMPORTANT THING YOU NEED TO DO IN THIS LIFETIME HE HAS GIVEN.

__________________
He is expecting us to help our brethren to ‘see,’ or perceive the truth; but if we walk in darkness ourselves, fulfilling the lusts of the flesh, and with the pride of life leading us in our own reasonings and decisions (that’s the soul/heart of man) —then we will not be able to lead others in ENLIGHTENMENT, for we ourselves will have found ourselves to be walking in DARKNESS— rebellion, evil, no consideration pointed toward the Father of us, in the ‘most high’ position (which is rule of decision making) within us.
We will walk in darkness being blind— and leading the other blind, into perdition: the blind, leading the blind— or the darkened, leading the darkened (rebellious and wicked, leading the rebellious and wicked).

5 “You hypocrite [actor under an assumed character, stage player— dissembler]— first, cast out [eject, drive out, expel] the beam out of your own eye; and then you shall see clearly [full vision], to cast out the mote out of your brother's eye [vision, figuratively— side eye glance of envy].”
___________________
Hypocrites are people who act under an ‘assumed character role;’ that means— it’s not their REAL identity, nay— but a false identity assumed; they are stage players.
Player— performer.
Dissembler— is one who professes beliefs and opinions, that he or she DOES NOT HOLD TO, in order to CONCEAL his or her REAL feelings or motives; synonyms: dissimulator, hypocrite, phony, pretender.
God says, first expel, drive out and eject the darkness (beam obscuring your clear vision of light) out of your own soul (perspective of thinking/reasoning, emotional status and choice making) or heart— and then you will have clear and full vision (perspective from God’s elevated position) —to see to remove the darkness and blindness from others.
I note that ‘envy’ is spoken of, in side-eye glances of perspective and judgment in these verses, so let us define envy.
Envy— a feeling of discontented or resentful longing— aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or favor; desiring to have a quality, possession, or other desirable attribute— that belongs to someone else.
Middle English root definition— ‘hostility, enmity’: from Old French envie (noun), envier (verb), from Latin invidia, from invidere— ‘regard maliciously, grudge’, from in- ‘into’ + videre ‘to see’.
So, envy is involved in seeing darkly— it is being discontent or resentful of someone else, because they walk in favor, and have things we do not; it is desiring someone else’s things (coveting), that we ourselves do not have.
It is walking hostile, as an enemy of another, regarding them maliciously, begrudgingly, as we ‘peer into them,’ or see into them: it is a LENS or PERSPECTIVE ISSUE.
It is a ‘light’ issue; and all high perspective, elevated understanding and perceptions are of God holy; all lower, darker perceptions, view points and attributes of nature— are from the fallen nature, satan’s nature— and they stand an ENEMY to the ‘light,’ or God.
We cannot enlighten someone if our light is actually darkness; the blind leading the blind— can also be described, the envious, lower perception, lower/fallen vision, reasoning and leading of the evil nature— leads the other darkened individuals around.
Matthew 6:23
“But if your eye [perspective] is evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you— be darkness— how great is that darkness?!”
Only when we receive HIS PERSPECTIVE, coming into alignment and understanding from HIM— do we walk with, and in the ‘light,’ and become a beacon unto those in darkness.
We will ENVY NOT, when we go to God and get our own lives enlightened by the higher thinking and higher ways of God; we need not be envious or maliciously covet anyone, of anything— when all things have been supplied to us in Christ.
It comes down to— “but are we going to him, and receiving them, for ourselves?”
In doing the relationship with God for ourselves, we will not envy another— we will be satiated in God, satisfied in God of all things; we will not strive AGAINST our brethren, but with them and for them— we will carry them and their burdens —as God leads.

6 “Give not that which is holy [sacred, pure, blameless consecrated] unto the dogs [a hound— literal or figuratively, hound— one that harasses, persecutes, or pursues relentlessly], neither cast [throw violently or intensely] your pearls (definition— something rare and of great value) before swine [hog— figuratively one who keeps or uses all of something for oneself, in an unfair or selfish way] —lest they trample [reject with disdain] them, under their feet [also, footstool— figuratively, something beneath them]— and turn again and rend [break, wreck, crack asunder, separate the parts, shatter, fragment, disrupt and lacerate with convulsions, tearing] you.”
_________________
Dogs— people who hound, harass, persecute and pursue the righteous— relentlessly; to those people— we are NOT TO share our holy things with them.
The things set apart unto God, the pure clean things that are sacred and treasured.
It is the same as swine trampling pearls of revelation and understanding, that are of GREAT VALUE and RARE, given to us by God— because ‘hogs—’ animals/persons who keep or use all of something for oneself, in an unfair or selfish way— will never value God, selfishness is the opposite of sacrificial— and that is God’s way.
That means they will USE IT AGAINST YOU, and it will be wasted, mocked and trampled upon— walked all over as if it’s useless and devoid of value.
They will reject it all with disdain (the treasured revelations of God), seeing them as something beneath them (worthless)— and they will turn and —wreck, separate the parts out of the matter (pick it apart what you shared), fragment it, disrupt and lacerate the pearls of revelation, wisdom counsel and insight— with convulsions, or violently— tearing you up inside.
Keep God’s things sacred— which means, treasured and well guarded, dedicated and devoted (consecrated); don’t share all the treasure of God— with those who will not treasure him, but will reject and persecute him and all he brings… it will only devastate your heart or soul.

8 For everyone who asks [begs, calls, craves, desires and inquires]— receive [takes unto, gets ahold of, seizes, catches]; and he who seeks [worships and desires in inquiry]— finds [perceives and obtains]; and to him who knocks [rap— a rapid, forceful and sudden bursts of sound, caused by a blow— especially on a door to attract attention or gain entry]— it shall be opened (allow access or passage— not blocked, not concealed— accessible— clear perception, make officially ready, formally established).”
___________________
Oftentimes we want rescue, help— or for God to grant us deliverance from something, or assistance with something— but he is saying that all that begins with ASKING; and lest we forget, what does ‘ask’ mean again?
Ask from the pray without ceasing part— inquire and IMPLORE EARNESTLY, HUMBLY of God— to REGAIN FAVOR OF HIM; as well as the definition above in Strong’s— beg, call, crave, inquire and desire of him.
Asking and Seeking are the first steps for things to be ‘given to us.’
Seek— to WORSHIP ‘in’ our inquiries.
So, we are to inquire of God during worshiping him; but let us describe what worship really is.
Worship, according to Strong’s— prostrate oneself (lower self, exalt God) —bow to royalty, crouching down to lick the hand of the master like a dog does, fawning over and paying homage to with humbling ourselves in obedience and reverence— adoring and ministering unto.
Okay, so— when we are going to God to receive something of him, to be ‘given’ something of God, are we…
ASKING— inquiring and IMPLORING EARNESTLY, HUMBLY of God— to REGAIN FAVOR OF HIM, and— beg, call, crave, inquire and desire of him…
Whilst SEEKING him, which is— worshiping during our inquiring…
Which is— prostrating ourselves (lowering self, and exalting God) —bowing to royalty, crouching down to lick the hand of the master like a dog does, fawning over and paying homage to with humbling ourselves in obedience and reverence— adoring and ministering unto him??
Because ALL THAT 👆, is a prerequisite to ‘receiving’ what he gives to us.
It’s far more than asking for something, and getting something— from simply asking for it.
But when we ‘seek’ him properly, we will get, obtain, and perceive— we will FIND what we seek after; and it is when we KNOCK, or— rap on him (he’s the DOOR) with rapid, forceful, sudden bursts of sound— to attract attention or gain entry unto God— that it (he) shall be opened unto us, or when we are allowed access or passage— not being blocked, nor concealed any longer— but accessible— with clear perception; and we have made ourselves officially ready, and formally established in/unto him.
THAT IS INCREDIBLY INSIGHTFUL!
For everyone who asks— begs, calls, craves, desires and inquires, IMPLORING EARNESTLY, HUMBLY of God— to REGAIN FAVOR OF HIM —receives, or— takes unto himself, gets ahold of, seizes, and catches something —from God.
And the one who SEEKS, or— worships and desires him during inquiry unto him— FINDS of him, or perceives and obtains what they have been asking.
And to him who KNOCKS, or— raps rapidly and forcefully, with sudden bursts of sounding out to him— to attract his attention or gain entry— it shall be opened unto this person (he— being the door), or— this one will be allowed access or passage, and— will not be blocked, nor concealed any longer, but now accessible— and with clear perception, having made themselves officially ready, and formally established.
There is a procedure to all things godly; a procedure unto all things in God’s kingdom— orderly.
And we need to understand exactly what he’s saying, and showing— when he states a matter.
Here, there is much more than simply an asking of an inquiry to receive something; there is an ‘attitude,’ or character displayed unto God ‘during’ the asking or petitioning— that garners entrance into the Holy Place of God, to receive of him: namely— WORSHIPING HIM.
Prostrating ourselves (lowering self, and exalting God) —bowing to royalty, crouching down to lick the hand of the master like a dog does, fawning over and paying homage to him— by humbling ourselves in obedience and reverence; this is adoring and ministering unto him.
That is the child of his who will receive from him: the humbly obedient child of God, who walks in reverence of the Most High, placing him as Most High— within his heart/soul.

9 “Or what man is there of you— whom if his son asks for bread— will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish— will he give him a serpent [figuratively— maliciousness]?
{Stating this is not God’s demeanor, nor should it be ours.}
11 If you then— being evil [hurtful in effect or influence, calamitous, ill, diseased, culpable, vicious, mischievous, guilty and grievous], know how to give good [beneficial] gifts [presentations] unto your children— how much more shall your Father, who is in heaven [the eternal abode of God]— give good things [beneficial things] to those who ask [beg, call upon, crave, desire and inquire or require of] him?
{He is showing his demeanor or character, that he will not reward his children with evil things, but beneficial things.}
12 Therefore —all things whatsoever you would [determine, acquiesce/consider, choose or prefer, wish, be inclined gladly unto, be about, delight in and will] that men should do [perform and bring forth] to you— do so even [in this way of like manner] to them: for this is the law [principled way and regulation] and the prophets [foreteller— those who told you before, ‘fore’ telling (before telling of)— the inspired poetic speakers].”
___________________
Whatever we would want someone to do unto us, or— determine, consider, prefer, wish upon, be inclined gladly to receive, delight in and will unto our own selves… is what we ought to measure out to others as well— meaning— perform and bring forth to them: like manner of give and receive.
Because THAT IS THE LAW, or the principled way of sow and reap, the principled way of regulating things in the kingdom; and it’s what the prophets operate in → those who foretell of things, from the inspiration, and poetic speaking of God unto them— as they reiterate, retell, or orate.
It is speaking of the principled law of ‘sow and reap;’ if we sow unto others, meaning— treat others the way we desire to be entreated… we will reap a like harvest unto ourselves; if we do not, we will reap an evil harvest unto ourselves to.
Why??
Because God’s law is upheld always; either the demonic will graciously assist you in your evil reaping of your evil sown— or God will graciously assist you in your holy reaping that you have sown, as you have been aligned with the kingdom of God, the kingdom of holiness.
But the law of ‘sow and reap’ is ALWAYS IN PLAY:
It is the principled way.

13 “Enter yourselves in [come in this way] at the strait [narrow, tight/close about] gate [entrance]: for wide [spread out and broad] is the gate, and broad [spacious and wide] is the way [road, progressing route and distance, mode and means of journey] —that leads [brings and carries away] to [toward] destruction [ruin, loss damnation, death, perdition, pernicious perishing waste], and many there be [are in agreement with] —who go in [enter in] thereat [channel through (pour through), import]:
14 Because strait [narrow, tight/close about] is the gate [entrance], and narrow [crowded/tight— afflicted, thronged, and suffering tribulation and trouble] is the way [road, progressing route of distance, mode or means of journey] —which leads [takes and brings forth] unto life [and a lifetime] —and few [puny amount, degree of in number] there be [are— in agreement] who find [obtain and perceive] it.”
____________________
How do we enter into God’s presence, do things his way— and wind up where he is??
→ We have to enter at the ‘strait’ gate/doorway.
He is STRAIT, he is THE DOORWAY, or ‘gateway.’
So, what does that mean??
He does things in a VERY CONTROLLED MANNER, a very SPECIFIC WAY, shimmying through life on a footpath to follow (not an easy and wide path, a tight rope or line to walk with him)— and we are called to ‘walk those paths’ too, which is ‘the way,’ unto the STRAIT DOOR, or gate.
Strait means— narrow and tight, so we can see God is expecting us to shed some fat, shed some weight that so easily besets us (derails us), and slim down (get refined and pruned by him), so we can walk his upright paths.
Because WIDE (meaning many different routes, reasonings and actions) lead to the ‘gateway’ or doorway that is spacious and accommodating, unto the ‘way of,’ or road unto, the progressing in life that leads to— or, brings one to and carries us away toward— DESTRUCTION, or RUIN, LOSS, DAMNATION, DEATH, PERDITION AND PERNICIOUS PERISHING WASTE.
What happens when you are undisciplined in what you eat, or how you exercise??
You become WIDE, SPACIOUS and BROAD— this is FEEDING PRIDE, the flesh, the carnal man; and it will RUIN YOU.
Undisciplined and disobedient
= RUIN.
And there will be quite a few who come into agreement to live that way, walk that way, and who will go into that ‘gateway,’ entering in there through the channel of (pouring into) and importing themselves through— the gateway, route and path that leads to hell, death and estrangement from God, forever.
I keep telling folks you have a clean river of thought, flowing from God to choose to adhere to daily— or a dark, mirky, muddy waters of satan, who will lead you in his ways: best we choose the paths of God holy.
Because… narrow, tight, and close around us (squeezing into, essentially, needing to be ‘fit,’ and trimmed down, reduced, refined) → is the gate, door or entrance into the— narrow crowded/tight— afflicted, thronged, suffering tribulation, and troubled way, road, progressing route of distance, mode or means of journey —which leads, or takes and brings forth one → unto LIFE [and in a lifetime].
And FEW, or— puny in amount, degree or in number, will there be, or who are— in agreement with God, in alignment with God— who will find, obtain, and perceive that strait, proper way— that the Lord walks.
We must be SEEKING HIM, to walk his way; we must be FOLLOWING HIM, to come to the destination he is walking unto.
Few will walk his paths, because as he stated, they are— narrow, tight, close around us (squeezed), and the gate or entrance of that doorway, is narrow, crowded/tight— afflicted, thronged, and suffering in tribulations and trouble —that leads to the way, road, progressing route of distance, mode or means of the paths of his journey —which leads, or takes and brings one forth— into LIFE.
He never said it would be comfortable or easy— he did say it would be a tight squeeze, we would need to slim down, get ‘fit,’ pruned, refined, reformed in our person— to come into his image and likeness; for his image and likeness, is what ‘fits like a glove,’ through that doorway, that is him.
We must return to his image; he is the doorway that is in the shape of the Son— we must regain his shape, to fit through that tight way.
Like those puzzle piece games children play, where you have to fit the ‘right shape,’ into the right opening (or entrance).
Only so many, a puny amount in number— will get refined in the Refiner’s fires— to slim down, regain their proper identity in him, and walk through that doorway: it’s in the shape of the Son, that is in the shape of the Father.
May you refine those who are willing Father, and may you lead others to desire this refining process of returning to the image, or identity you made us in— yours— that we may ‘be in Christ,’ and gain access into your abode, with, and through— the Son.

15 “Beware of [mind toward, pay attention to, be cautious about, apply yourself to, adhere unto, attend, heed and regard that] false prophets [pretending/fake foretellers— religious impostors], who come to you in sheep's clothing [outer looking robes (meaning, outwardly they ‘appear’ to be ‘one of us’)] —but inwardly [their inner parts, inner man], they are ravening [extorting, rapacious— aggressively greedy and grasping, snatching] wolves.
__________________
Here is a command, if folks don’t easily notice them in scripture; and we are commanded to —put our minds to, pay attention, be cautious of what is going on around us, and apply, adhere, attend to and heed with regard— the fact that false, pretending, orators and religious impostors— who will tell of things to come (even doctrine of how they believe scripture states things will go, as that is future telling by exhortation of doctrine) —who will come to you, to lead you, teach you, speak things to you…
Who will appear to fit the mold, talk the talk of Christianity— wearing outward appearances of ‘belonging’ to the body of Christ, but…
Who → in their INNER MAN, are ravening, extorting, rapacious— aggressively greedy, grasping, snatching and snaring us— WOLVES, underneath.
They are those who speak and teach contrary to Christ— and walk not the strait path with him, nor have entered in the narrow/tight, strait DOOR (which is him); though they will portray, purport, teach, and act as if they do: this is the definition of hypocrisy, and he calls those— apostate Pharisees.
A prophet —is an orator ‘for God,’ that means one who foretells of things that God is telling them, that will come about, and why; a religious leader becomes a false prophet (or orator, speaker), when he teaches a doctrine of devils; a doctrine that is enemy of what the truth is.
A doctrine that is NOT RIGHTLY DIVIDED
by the truth.
This teacher (can be anyone) will orate, or foretell of how things will go— and yet, they will be lying— as they do not rightly divide the truth, and thereby teach lies; false prophets are not just people who call themselves ‘prophets,’ or prophetic…
False prophets are orators or speakers— who speak for the scriptures, as well, in a false manner, after the leading of devils and their devil doctrines— and then reiterate, or re-orate it —to the rest of a flock.
Many pastors, teachers, evangelists, bible school teachers, and regular laymen— if they are teaching another, or instructing or schooling another in the bible— and are not aligned in the truth, nor led of God in the 7 spirits of God to gain full understanding, counsel, wisdom, might, knowledge— nor guided by the spirit of the Lord, nor UNDER THE FEAR OF THE LORD…
Can fit the mold of ‘false forteller, or false orator;’ as false prophet means— false orator of what God is saying and showing— that goes for rightly, or wrongly— dividing the Word of Truth itself.
Those ‘wolves’ will come— extorting in a rapacious, or aggressive, greedy and grasping manner— snatching, snaring and twisting the flock all up.
I pray we can see there are MORE WOLVES IN PULPITS than just the people who go by the title of, or office of ‘prophet;’ besides— we are all to be prophetically enlightened by God now, he said so.
1 Corinthians 14:31
“For you may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.”
Best we weigh ALL ‘foretelling’ voices in the church body— for anyone can be telling of things to come, as from the scriptures— and not be rightly dividing the Word of Truth: thereby being wolves who look or sound the part of a sheep.
{I often think of rapture topics and teachings as one defining examples of things to come; as well as— the entire book of Revelation, and the old testament prophetic books that are still playing out— and BEING TAUGHT.
Many will come ‘in his name,’ and many
antichrist spirits are already here.
False orators, who claim to speak for God— are in many offices and leadership roles, and know not they are practicing prophesying THEMSELVES → every time they predict what God will do, or bring about— how, and why; as they simultaneously denounce prophets exist today.
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY— who is supposed to be ‘in us all,’ and functioning in us all!
Well, all who ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD as ‘sons—’ that is.}

__________________
Have we noted that God calls us trees, and that HIS TREES— are supposed to be RIGHTEOUS and MIGHTY OAKS??
I say this because Lukewarm— twisted and corrupted ‘oaks,’ or plantings of the Lord— will eventually be pruned off the family tree; they will be vomited (cast) out with the rebellious, apostate, disobedient, and irreverent— in the judgment.
We will know who is evil, and who is not, by the results they produce as they go about life; results will be what they SPREAD ABOUT to others— what they ‘reproduce.’
Fruit— is a product, it’s production from the ‘tree’ it hailed from: produce.
God’s righteous Oaks will produce more righteousness as an offspring, fruit or product— unto others; evil ‘trees,’ or men— will produce— hurtful, degenerate, calamitous, ill diseased, culpable, derelict, mischievous, guilty, devilish sinning, harmful, lewd, malicious and wicked ‘reproductions,’ or fruits— into this world, and unto others.
If we are ‘trees,’ or plantings either unto righteousness and holiness, or unrighteousness and evil— we will SHOW by what we reproduce into this world— which ‘god’ is really the MOST HIGH One regarded, within: self, or God holy.
For we will reproduce either Christ in this world, or we will reproduce satanic nature; but we will walk the paths of either one, and reproduce what that path, and ‘god,’ produced ORIGINALLY.
You will know each and every man, and who his ‘god’ is— by whom he resembles, as he produces more of that ‘god’s’ nature, and seeding— into this world.
Corruption— begets corruption; righteousness— begets more righteousness— and only ONE, is righteous.
They will know who we TRULY SERVE IN OUR HEARTS and SOULS— because we will resemble the one we ‘serve;’ self/pride/satan, or God holy.

He did warn us many would go to hell (prison estrangement from God), and then the Lake which burns with fire torment forever; this is the ‘cutting off’ part, where the Lukewarm, along with the totally ‘cold,’ or FULLY TURNED OFF BY GOD, PEOPLE— will be removed from the Vine, which he is— and we the branches of.
And why??
Because the Lukewarm— wouldn’t commit to doing the clean up work with God.
We are in a yoked relationship— yokes are for WORKING OUT, toiling at our salvation with God in this lifetime; we are required to GET SANCTIFIED and CLEANED UP: to go through the reformation process.
Repentance— is turning around, and heading the opposite direction; we are required to do that in EVERY WAY we are found following satan’s paths— to return to the paths of righteousness: that’s our responsibility.
God already ‘made the way,’ we must choose to walk the strait tight paths of righteousness, with him— leading our life— leading the way, by the lighted path, coming out from the paths of darkness.
The Lukewarm know just enough
to hang themselves with.
And what I mean is…
They have ‘heard’ the truth, but will not walk in it— LIVE IT WITH GOD HOLY; they will recite, memorize it— but walk yet in darkness, blinded, unable to discern good from evil— for they walk not led by the Spirit of holiness himself.
You can only ‘see,’ when led by the Light; and we must choose this day whom we are going to serve: for we are always serving someone.
Best we learn we are saved by his GRACE-ious person, and through FAITH-fulness to God: FIDELITY (definition of faith) MATTERS.
And ‘fidelity’ is reached— when you forsake all other lovers (spirits): COMMITMENT SAVES, adultery— kills and leads to estrangement.
The Lukewarm had better WARM UP TO GOD, and SNUGGLE INTO HIM IN ‘obedience,’ and COMMITMENT— or they will be cast out with the other ‘cold lovers,’ who would not honor him in OBEDIENCE.
John 14:15
“If you love me— keep my commandments.”
We fell in the garden by DISOBEDIENCE, and we will be raised again with Christ— in OBEDIENCE TO GOD; may we commit and consummate our marriage to the Lord— in being a faithful, and a loving partner to God.
Consummate— complete, by intercourse, complete or perfected; root origin— late Middle English— ‘completed, accomplished’: from Latin consummat- ‘brought to completion’, from the verb consummare, from con- ‘altogether’ + summa ‘sum total’, feminine of summus ‘highest, supreme’.
Intercourse— communication or dealings between individuals or groups, root meaning— late Middle English: from Old French entrecours ‘exchange, commerce’, from Latin intercursus, from intercurrere ‘intervene’, from inter- ‘between’ + currere ‘run’.
So, are we consummating our intercourse relationship, in marriage— with our God??
Are we communing with him in intercourse, exchanging one to another, allowing him to intervene and run between us (Christ the mediator), as we consummate, or— complete our relationship, accomplish it (that’s perform it), bring it to the highest supreme status unto God??
The Lukewarm— will not do this;
the ON FIRE FOR GOD— DO.

__________________
This will happen because not everyone HAS GOD, as their ‘master’ within; a master is a controller, ruler, high one who reigns over another entity. Many— will not allow God to ACTUALLY ‘be’ this in their lives; they will not vacate the soul/heart throne to another.
Heart/soul throne is where we reason, think, debate, make our choices of what we will do in our actions in this lifetime, and how we feel and emote unto others in this world.
When we will not relinquish all that to God— we are fundamentally not loving him with our whole hearts, which is our whole souls; we have chosen NOT TO PLACE HIM MOST HIGH, as we have REJECTED HIM HAVING RULE WITHIN US: and for this → we will be forever estranged, and forever— our own ‘gods.’
Those who WILL EXALT GOD into his position within the hearts and souls of their inner man— will be those who will— do, performs, execute, exercise, journey at keeping, the works and the WILL OF, or determination, choices, purposeful decrees, volition and inclinations or desirous pleasures of → the Father, our parent— who is positioned instrumentally and resting in heaven, the elevated abode of God.
WHERE IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD???
INSIDE MAN— for God is Spirit.
Where must we relinquish the throne, and unto whom??
INSIDE— and unto GOD HOLY!!
And when we do, we will seek to do his will, and will ask what that is— deferring all to him, consecrating and consummating a REAL RELATIONSHIP with the living God— our parent, our Father: WE WILL BE COMMITTED ONES— set apart, and unto him.
We will have ‘placed him on high,’ and ELEVATED HIM INTO THE THRONE POSITION, ‘inside man.’

And in your name [authority and character] have we not cast out devils [demonic beings]?
And in your name [authority and character]— done (performed and carried out) many wonderful works [miraculous power of miracles, abilities in abundance and strength]?”
________________
Many so easily believe that every wondrous working is from God— nay, scripture details this out over and again, every time God’s prophet/man came up against Baal— like Moses and the magicians, or diviners.
Divination is using Divine attributes, outside of God’s lead; leaving God out of all together, and honoring a devil— one who will do miraculous things, with the dominion of a man— and will not include God.
Here we can see there will be people who will have believed they were working with God holy all along, because ‘things were happening;’ this is a dangerous thing to believe that if you ‘see it happen,’ it must be of God.
Devils do wonders too, and man is easily deceived without the Spirit of God leading them.
They will say they cast out devils (devils will play along), they will say they prophesied (we can say a lot of things, doesn’t mean they are true or accurate), they will say they walked in his authority and character (doesn’t mean they did), they will say did many things with much ability and miraculously (just means they worked with spirits, not which ones) —and they will say he is their LORD, or MASTER (doesn’t mean he was).
This is the religious man, the apostate, the Lukewarm— the one who wouldn’t sell out, commit, nor consummate a real relationship with God— but who purported to, looked the part on the outside, but inside— was leading a hypocritical life: God sees the hearts.
These will not make it in the end, to return to him; for they did not give to him in this life— they fed on many other things, and spirits— but not him, and his Spirit.
Lukewarm is so deadly— because one will hang themselves with that knowledge rope; as they say— ‘we did all this, we knew the scriptures, and we walked the walk.’
But all the while, they did it— WITHOUT GOD LEADING THEM, and they were BLIND TO IT, their entire lifetime.
And these are the greatest persecutors of the ones living authentically, and sold out for God for real; and their sentencing will be just.
It is why we are to PRAY FOR OUR LOVED ONES, who are walking this route— because it is the route of…
“I had every opportunity, but rejected them all: I rejected really selling out unto Christ, and being bought by the blood, the gift, and living by the lead of the Holy Spirit: I did not become ONE, with God— consummating the relationship.”
And they will testify of those truths before the throne and judgment, for themselves— and the Spirit of God will witness it too.
[Romans 8]

It’s our choice, it’s always been our choice— free will choices and all; we must choose wisely whom we are going to serve, for we are always serving God or satan— by every choice we make.
Best we choose to place God in highest regard inside of us— deferring all things to his rule and will.
This is the only way we build the ‘solid’ relational construction; otherwise— we build on sand, and it all falls apart in the end.
He’s the solid foundation; he’s the Rock of Gibraltar. The solid, and narrow tight passageway, unto the lasting foundation.
Best we build upon that relationship, who is the solid one himself; so our ‘house,’ or dwelling with the Lord, as he abides within— WILL STAND FOR ALL OF ETERNITY.

____________________
Hypocrites (Pharisaical Lukewarm people) will walk and talk like they have authority— but in fact— the ENTIRE SPIRIT REALMS KNOWS OTHERWISE (think, sons of Sceva); but those ‘in Christ,’ living straight out of his person, and his person— living straight out of them…
Will walk in the authority of heaven, and will be KNOWN OF GOD, and will KNOW GOD.
Lukewarm → is a choice, a ‘noncommittal’ choice— best we decide to sell out and commit 100% to God in this lifetime, for the results are eternal.
The ‘Oaks,’ will be known by what they reproduce— their fruit; either righteousness with Christ, or unrighteousness with satan: and will be received of God in the end → or cast off and pruned from the Vine— and into hell, estrangement and the Lake of Fire.
The choice of commitment is ours: but he stands at the Doorway, and knocks on your heart.
Will you commit and open up to him FOR REAL??
I pray you do.

A dream given to me to interpret,
and it applies to the FULL, and current church.
{Dream received June 5th, 2023— from Jessica Antosh;
Dreamed by her husband on— January 1st, 2020}
___________________
My husband was up on a hill in a desert, and it felt like someone was with him— all around him.
He looked down the hill and saw a circle with a dot in the middle.
He walked down the hill closer to the circle and saw 12 Warrior angels— with one man in the middle.
He heard his father's voice say— “Some have a greater purpose than others; and those that follow their purpose— this is their life.” (I believe it was Father's voice)
12 Warrior angels in a circle, with one man in the middle who was in Roman armor. I believe it was Kirk.
And as he approached the circle it— began to get really dark in the desert looking surroundings of this area— as things looked like they were dying.
And demons surrounded the circle all around. Kirk could see the faces of the angels —and they were kind of struggling to keep the demons out of the circle.
The demons that did make it through into the circle, the man in the middle needed to fight off, to push it back outside the circle.
*Not everyone has to battle all the demons, but they are still present.
Kirk asked— “What was the purpose of being shown all this?”
The Warrior in the middle turned around and said— “That is!”
And he woke up immediately.

Interpretation
_____________________
Whoever this is— is on a hill —that's reminiscent of being on the mountain, and climbing the mountain with the Lord; which is ascending the Lord, essentially— which is coming into intimacy and deeper relationship with God.
It's in a desert-like place, and it felt like someone was with him all around— yeah, well down here we're like in a desert environment. What does that mean??
It's a wasteland of Ruin everywhere we look —because most people are not walking with God; most of us did not do our mission, which is to go into the Earth and prosper in it, toil in it, subdue and take dominion in it.
And so we are walking in a Desert, dry, parched land (think man is made of dirt too)… because not many people are walking with God and carrying God along with them.
But it felt like someone was with him, all around him— absolutely— God has often told me…
“Do you know I'm even around the unsaved, Janet? I am around everything and everyone at all times— that’s why all it takes is for that man's heart to shift, come into alignment with me, and cry out to me, and I'm right there already.”
And so, yes— there's always going to be him around us.
He looks down the mountain, or down the hill…
this person is upon at least some raised area of Walking with God. I don't know ‘how high up’ the hill, but they're looking down over— which would be a valley, or the lower area of where the Warfare, the warring place that all things, all battles take place in.
Those are mostly in ‘the valley areas’ of life, which are the hardcore Warfare areas; so he's looking down from the hill— sees a circle with a dot in the middle.
God said a circle with a dot in the middle is reminiscent of, or symbolic of— ‘X marks the spot.’
Meaning —that's where the person's at down there, in Warfare and battle, and when the person is down there— and In Warfare and battle, because he's seeing from an elevated position a raised position of enlightenment with God— looking from HIS PERSPECTIVE on the mountain…
One is going to be looking down onto that situation with more clarity, as God has raised him up to his perspective to see it all, as he's looking down from God's mind and discernment.
He's seeing this man, or person in this spot— X marks the spot, which means the person is located, the battle is located, these children of God are located, that situation and warfare is located— right there, pointing right there to a specific area: the circle with the dot in the middle (or man, in the middle).
While he's looking down, he sees a circle with a dot in the middle, and he walks down to get a closer look at the circle, as he’s in an elevated perspective, and is seeing through God's lens— as he's looking down on this situation in the Warfare area in the valley of his life.
He is told to ‘get a closer look’ (that is more discernment is needed, you’re not seeing it all); and God is encouraging him to take a DEEPER look, and get a clearer view of exactly what this is— because it's needed.
There's no reason God would tell us to take a closer look— if it wasn't NECESSARY FOR OUR OWN GOOD, and needed in our lives.
And so he walks down there, descends down to Warfare position, to take a better look; and he sees 12 Warrior Angels around one man in the middle.
So, whoever the man is in the middle— his with 12 warring angels; and the number 12 is the number of ‘Godly government.’ So we have full Godly government around these men or women at all times —who are in Warfare against the enemy of their souls.
Which is really saying— we have the full provisions of Heaven at our disposal at any time.
He hears his ‘father's voice’ say— “Some have a greater purpose than others, and those who follow their purpose— this is their life.”
So those who will follow their purpose with God, and they have been marked as called to a great purpose— those would be ushering the Holy Spirit around as an ambassador of Christ wherever we go; being a son, and in sonship to God.
This is the way I understand that —as the highest purpose we could ever have, would be becoming ONE with our God— our parent— coming into alignment with him, and allowing him to witness himself through us, to the world down here.
THIS WILL BE THEIR LIFE— and X marks the spot, right there in warfare (which means we will be required to fight)— as the world has set itself against Christ, against us, and we're going to be in a battle the whole time we’re here; because Satan doesn't want any of his kingdom to have us take ground away from him (in our souls), in warfare.
So this will be their life and lot, they will be in a valley of Warfare in life, in this lifetime, from time to time— but they have the full disposal of God's kingdom, and ruling and reigning host— at their disposal, in their lives— at all times. As they come in the form of Warring entities— who are in alignment with us, because they come unto the ‘Heirs of Christ.’
There are 12 warring angels in a circle, or hedge, with the one man in the middle— who is in Roman armor. He has on Armor that is based on Roman armor, because that was of the time of Christ’s time frame; but it is signifying Christ's armor that we are to be clothed with, of this person.
This is for any one of the church body members— they have the armor of God on, and their angels are all around them— hedged in— as he approaches the circle, even though it begins to get really dark.
That’s because that's what happens when darkness is all around us, spiritually speaking. There are literally Demonic entities and their attributes and Natures, expressed; so the closer you get to the war— the more you're going to see the darkness, and it will show like a desert —where things are dying, corrupting, drying out and wasting away.
Because it's all symbolic of the human wastelands of the inner man that's happening first. (like a dry landscape.)
There's a picture of death and ruin going on in this warfare, and I've often said that the biggest warring we will ever do— is against our carnal flesh nature. That's how Satan gets a foothold in, and that is the Warfare down in the valley.
I believe the valley— is fighting against the Fallen flesh carnal nature— where satan gets his foot hold into us.
So, you can see this is where things are dying and are very dark; because a lot of us cannot see where we're walking, especially while walking in carnality, as our vision is obscured, and blindness sets in; because we don't have the elevated position of God's perception.
Which is what God is trying to show us we need. And there are demons all around, but they only play off The Fallen nature attributes of satan. They can only uphold within a man, where their Kingdom attributes are upheld.
That would be inside the satanic, fallen carnal nature.
So, there are a lot of demonic entities that are going to be attempting to get into the man in the middle, who has the armor of Christ on— as he’s hedged in with the Angelic.
Being given all that our kingdom has in defense for us; but if we don't fight that fallen carnal nature— the next thing we'll see in this dream is that things progress into a STRUGGLE.
Kirk can see the faces of the Angels, but they are kind of struggling to keep the demons out of the circle.
Okay, if angels are far superior to demons, and carry the Will and authority of God, and decree the orders from God— why would they be struggling against demonic entities??
Because the man is in alignment with these demonic entities, in his inner man (soul/heart), and with the kingdom of darkness; and it comes through the Fallen-nature, carnal attributes— and they have LEGAL grounds.
So, God is doing his best to defend this child in the areas that he can —but in the areas that he is still in alignment with the Enemy kingdom— the angels are struggling to help this child of God in defense.
And because we have not conquered these areas with our fallen carnal nature— the Angels do not have the upper hand to uphold the kingdom of righteousness in these areas… And it's being penetrated.
The Hedge is weakened in these areas, which is the chain link fence around us, that is hedged in by the angelic.
The ones (demonic entities) who DO make it through the circle, unto the man in the middle— the man in middle, the warrior— NEEDS TO FIGHT— TO PUSH THEM BACK OUTSIDE THE CIRCLE.
*Exactly— we’re hedged in, but we have to DO THE WORK and come into alignment with God —to kick down and out, slaying the Fallen flesh nature; or we're not going to be hedged in always— because we're not in all ways aligned with God, and have instead— opened doors, and have loose links in this chain link fence creating weaknesses openings— in the Angelic Hedge of protection.
But not everyone has to fight these demonic entities— though they are still present.
YES— that's why I keep telling people there are certain people who won't have to fight these demonic entities —because they're already standing firmly with God in alignment with him, and have locked those doors and have thrown down the flesh carnal nature; folks who have come out of alignment with it.
But the demons will still try to pound on the doors to get back in.
We will have to continue to throw things down, of everything that sets itself against God, and tell the flesh to pipe down, sit down and shut up, we’re going a different way; we’re going to be led of Spirit.
So, not everybody will have to fight the demons if they can fight the carnal flesh nature first, and subdue the things that bark at them in thoughts and feelings (that are contrary to the truth, and what God says), so the bark doesn’t progress to biting, or digging in of demonic attributes, nature and entities attached to us.
WE have to throw these things down and take them all captive!
So Kirk asks the question to the man in the middle— “What's the purpose of showing me all this??”
And the warrior man in the middle turns around and says—
“That is!”
I believe that is saying that this person was trying to enlighten Kirt to the whole story of what I have just detailed out— that this is the purpose → to TURN AROUND, and ‘repent!’
Because he turns around, and says— that's the point!
That is repentance— TURNING IT AROUND, and coming out of alignment with the Fallen nature, and coming into alignment with God's nature and Rule within us —which is salvation itself.
That is deliverance; and that is how we shut the doors and lock them with the keys of David, to keep the demons out, to where we don't actually have to fight them anymore; because the Angelic will.
But we have to STAY IN ALIGNMENT WITH GOD, and uphold that Kingdom —through repentance— and walking the new way, throwing down the carnal flesh, and walking in the new man creation with God.
Then the hedge is strong, and the angels are strong in their defense— because we have come into alignment with God, to uphold the covenant and the kingdom of God, WITHIN.
P.S. —the name Kirk means “Church.”
