There is something that we need to be able to get straight, just as the Bible does speak about the crooked path and such:

1 John 1:16
grace for grace

What does this mean? Firstly, without going through the work of a morpheme regarding simplicity, we can take these few words and find something. In the Psalms we find the point of this verse and this study:

Psalm 84:5-7
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength;
Each one appears before God in Zion

Verse 7 says 'strength to strength.' First of all, most people in the church do not even go from strength to strength. They go from simplicity to simplicity, and from weakness to false strength, just like skim boarding. What does it mean to go from strength to strength? It means to walk in such a way that there is no hindrance or place for darkness. Now the same people who preach simplicity do preach the cross, but they don't preach the spiritual aspects of the cross, at least beyond the appropriations of it, as found with Derek Prince. To be able to go from strength to strength is only made possible because of what 1 John shows, regarding us having in Christ: grace for grace. Having grace for grace is kind of like how though I am saved and am strong in the LORD, and am chosen in Him, and have entered in, I still have sin in the outward body and corruption that I am overcoming, whether visible or not. And the main difference regarding this topic is usually the relationship between being a hearer of God's word and being a doer. However, there is no justice in merely having works, or merely saying grace, whichever way anyone could cut it, without the topic of the gifts of the LORD, just as justice through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ actually pertains to what we receive through Him, because of Him. Much of the doctrine of the present day church, which has embraced Rick Warren, says that it is our relationship with God and our works following our relationship with Him which encompasses justice, but this is not true. Because the depths of God is found in relationship, but the reception of all that the depths pertain to, is found in the hope of the depths of the love of God, which is found in His gifts. I have already given the synopsis of God not being selfish, and being able to give us things that we ourselves can forever enjoy, even in heaven, even regarding specific things that our outward body shall have pleasure in, just as those who are against eternal monogamous marriage in heaven for created beings forget that our incorruptible outward bodies are also still going to eat and drink in the new heavens and earth; and both without emptiness, and both with complete pleasure. And so I have grace for grace in the LORD Jesus, both when I am outside smoking a cigarette, which is wrong, just as it hurts the body, and when I am not smoking a cigarette; and I can even have freewill offerings in this, as I might also put out my cigarette a little early, and not /really/ like smoking it.

The trust of God is not only found at the end of faithfulness, just as holiness and righteousness is not only found at the end of faithfulness, or else we only receive from God because we have works. The true trust of God is actually found in the tallits of the Jewish prayer shawl, through the testimony of Jesus Christ, and thus we can have trust, righteousness, and holiness before we even begin to have works, and thus also have a true relationship, as shown in Numbers 15:37-41. The tallits of the Jewish prayer shawl symbolize the wings of the LORD, which we may also cover ourselves with. Through more symbolism and through more of the testimony of Jesus Christ, the tallits represent our gifts from Him, and not only our relationship with Him, just as a relationship that does not consummate has no hope; and is without God in the world, as spoken in the NT, and so on. Just as the Psalms say:

Psalm 16:3
3 As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.”

Psalm 36:7-9
7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
8 They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.
9 For with You is the fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.

This passage in Psalm 36 also brings up the point about how the holiness of God is not founded first on what is absent, but on what is given, just as this verse from Psalm 116 shows, as well as this verse in Psalm 116 also fulfills what I said in the above paragraph:

Psalm 116:1-2
1 I love the LORD, because He has heard
My voice and my supplications.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

Now as we study the LORD and the Bible, we must be able to understand concepts, and within this, we must be able to understand that though the LORD does not change, He shows Himself anew continually; and this is possible just as He does not change according to our own infinite nature which is as infinite as the sky is to us, though it has limits. And that He shows Himself anew continually just as He is truly beyond any created limit, in His infinite nature and Person. It is this concept that the remnant of the nation of the Jews is going to have to conceive, in order to know Jesus as the Messiah, Son of God, perfect, and as to being equal with God. And just as there will be a remnant of the Gentiles left after the blackout in the first part of Zechariah 14 (which shall mourn at His Second Coming as well, and possibly worship Him as shown in the second half of Zechariah 14), so are the Gentiles going to have to conceive these things to become saved, as with people who follow Darwin, which I may get into towards the end of this study.

God even has a new name, as Revelation shows:

Revelation 3:12
I will write on him My new name

*And it says that in the Greek too.

The new name of God, according to my discernment, gives us to have a continuing city, in all aspects of life, as with the river of everlasting life and pleasure.

Many people teach that personal revelation and or realization is wrong, but it is not totally new age, and is something that is actually imperative in the LORD, even though Paul wrote to the Corinthians saying that we view Christ with an unveiled face. Truly, as much as the present day church tries to push the idea of life being a process, so much we, in Spirit and truth, have continual revelation and realization through the Holy Spirit, both in His oneness, and concerning His gifts, which is where Rick Warren's doctrine mainly ran short. The Bible says:

Psalm 40:6
6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
My ears You have opened.
Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.

What is it that is our sacrifice, as the following verses refer to in this passage? We are to sacrifice the limitations that we have concerning God, and thus also truly eat spiritual food, as manna means "what is it?" And there is:

Isaiah 50:4-5
4 The Lord GOD has given Me
The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned.
5 The Lord GOD has opened My ear;
And I was not rebellious,
Nor did I turn away.

And we can discern this passage, knowing that the children of Israel rebelled at the Red Sea, also concerning manna.

The eternal aspects of the fear of the LORD, just as we might think we won't have it anymore, when we are incorruptible, and can no longer fall away, as the fear of the LORD is said to turn one from sin, are found in Jesus being the Lamb who was slain before the foundation of the world. This is a self-consuming fire, as shown to Moses and Ezekiel, also referring to there being no darkness in God. But if Jesus is God, and yet His outward body became sin and died, and He was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world, how is there no darkness in Him, the Bible also saying that He was always with God, and was with Him in the beginning? The incorruptible life of God encompasses all of the knowledge of good and evil, and thus, from a non-confusing stance, these things do not contradict each other in absolute truth, because God is the refference point, giving each perfect perspective which encompasses and overcomes all darkness, with His true light which is also already shining, even as His Spirit was brooding over the surface of the deep even before God spoke in Genesis. And so, just as Jesus is eternally our true Teacher, and just as the Father is eternally our true Father, God is showing us that He is a giver of love. Showing us what evil is, which is to be without Him. Giving us His goodness in place of any and every evil thing, even when we do have to overcome to receive some certain things, namely, the things that are only possible with God, for which He gives us rewards for, though He may work within us and with us as well.

When the Bible speaks about maturity, it is not speaking about us no longer wanting things, as some may say. True maturity, which is symbiotic with the fear of the LORD, is to be spiritual, and to know that we are nothing without God. AND when we are perfected in love, and enter in, our fear of the LORD rests, just as the 2 witnesses, the voice of the bride and bridegroom, sounding from the married body, may be in plural oneness, and yet at rest; just as they are together in all that manifests in them, but singularly at rest.

As we also may find in Psalm 84, there is a context that we are to strand ourselves for God.

Psalm 84:5
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

Though this may sound as if it is psychotic and the heart of mania, it is true, and is actually what Saul should have done, instead of sacrificing without Samuel, as under the Law of Moses no one could be both a priest and a king. In these things, we may know that true faith is found in truly dying to the world, sin, and corruption, through doing so, as this is also the true meaning of having only Jesus and Him crucified. Within these things we may find the testimony of what people call ‘having soul’ and or ‘living in the moment;’ whether or not people want to call ‘carpe diem’ new age. But here are the bad examples, which still even happen in simplicity:

Isaiah 22:13
“ Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

Isaiah 56:12
Tomorrow will be as today,
And much more abundant

On one hand, in the world, we have the bad version of ‘living in the moment’ and rebelling against God, and on the other hand, we have the bad version of expecting tomorrow, and these are also exemplified in Hosea 4:

Hosea 4:6
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
Because you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.

In the true baptism of Christ’s death, we die to ourselves, even to the good, so that we may receive the better and best. However, through being spiritual, we always only enter in through the desires of our heart, as is the testimony of His Promised Land, which is not just limited to Jesus saving us, or thinking we are holy because we are abstinent in things. Israel was first a man, and then a nation of His children; and in this relationship the Promised Land is first a relationship, and then it’s gifts, lacking neither. Through His resurrection, from His death, we receive to have our ‘persons’ resurrect being only good (no corruption), thus the best, while the better is to have had a portion of us still be only good, as the LORD is upon us, and we are in Him accordingly, and there is no darkness in Him even before we enter in.

On a psychological note I can look at myself as the two witnesses, through understanding that I am who I am, and I am who I think I am, even as the Bible says “as a man thinks, so is he.” In this way, being self conscious is as woman encompassing man; and regarding numbers, as with the subconscious (1), the conscious mind (2), and the conscience (3), being self conscious is the fourth part which brings unity. Our self conscious person can only be ‘only good’ after entering in, and this is what we are battling to have be only good, giving us to prepare well and even strand ourselves from corruption, also for His name, and His new name’s sake.

There is one verse which had a deeper meaning to me in all of this:

Isaiah 30:21
Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,

“ This is the way, walk in it,”

What I didn’t catch at first, was how this verse doesn’t say that the voice comes from within us, even though through the new covenant, what could be thought of as the primary gift, is to have the Holy Spirit within us. I found that the validity of this verse still being for the new covenant, is found in how God is not selfish, but can give us to have eternally good and pleasurable things from Him, such as gifts, to enjoy, which are also, ‘only’ good (having no corruption). And through symbolism we may find that this is just as having a spouse that we are completely one with in incorruption, though we also are one with ourselves; giving us to know ourselves and our spouse, completely.

The hypocrisy of individualism and doctrines of demons, both in darkness and false light, is found in how they neither give gifts that are only good, or in they don’t actually wholly worship God. Just as this is found with Aphrodite, and with having a false echad and yachid (singular and plural oneness). For example: saying that brotherly love is greater than spousal love. The precedent for the speaking idol, which works to support the Antichrist kingdom, is given in this: the temple of simplicity and vanity, which is the temple of Aphrodite and the temple that is built for the woman under the lead in Zechariah, contains no true oneness, and thus is hypocritical, as it claims to offer oneness. The biggest distinction that is the temple in Shinar, is how Aphrodite offers to have both individual oneness, and plural oneness with others. The biggest form of the Antichrist’s deception and bad fruit, as well as the speaking idol’s fruit, is that Jesus is directly rejected, even though a person might directly hear from Him, and thus true truth is not present, though there might be an acceptance of other things in the world, and this is also why God backs up the poor and needy so much, because though they might be rejecting Him, they aren’t still accepting things from the world. And in this, we again have the story of Saul sacrificing without Samuel, and David being willing to even strand himself for God, thus truly waiting on Him.

One interpretation of the phrase ‘falling in love’ is to have love last and to also forever be in the moment. When love and what is loved do not last forever, through the Spirit and mind of God, then there is corruption. Should we ‘rise in love?’ Well, without a real ‘forever,’ life is just quicksand, and the wicked are cast into the lake of fire, having been lost in the waters, forever separated from God, His love, and His gifts, having never been established on earth. In this way the wicked are forever cast out of the universe, and are left in the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world, only to be seen by the eyes of the righteous. And the wicked are in the blackest of darkness, flying and falling through space, kind of like having the feeling of ‘losing one’s stomach’ as on a rollercoaster, but never having the climbing, and thus being as an imploding star and black hole. What is missing in this? The germination of the seed, through musing, over ruminating in love, thus having a root and being able to fly like an eagle, and yet also survive incorruptibly in the rest and stillness of love. So the righteous have an infinite sky, and their light dawns, as they may fly or walk, both on the earth and in the heavens.

Practicality is thinking that we can’t be perfect, and thus trying to give a way to appropriate things in life, to overcome what isn’t perfect, to the point of still being able to operate in life; as the word practicality means ‘not quite.’ The better and best way to overcome the corruption in life is to appropriate the names of Jesus in Revelation, to overcome the curses found in Deuteronomy 28, for not diligently loving and thus obeying the voice of the LORD. And in this there may be real appropriation, by which the 2 witnesses, the voice of the bride and bridegroom, may give their voice both to the family of God, and in their personal lives, concerning the aspect of the ‘married body.’ The names of Christ at the end of Revelation give promise to have His perfection given into the mortal flesh even now and today, and to have the fullness of perfection with the new body, and the new heavens and earth.

Real contentment has fulfillment and does not lack diligence, as God said:

Hebrews 11:5
he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him

When Saul became a new person after prophesying we may find that the power of the gift of God is to be able to become new people, even in the sight of other people. And in this we may also find that Saul could have overcome, but didn’t, though he was called, being good in the eyes of the people. And thus, when he didn’t strand himself for God and fully wait for Him he foolishly hid his talent of perfection as the unprofitable servant.

Though we may have Promise in Psalm 107, as it says “Oh that men would praise God for His goodness and His wonderful works among the sons of men,” shall we do that, concerning what God has already done, and is doing in our lives; we must know that we can not fully rely on the works of God, but must still be founded on His Heart, Spirit, Being, Person, and His ability to always create anew.

If we wanted to, we could even fast, even though we don’t have food at the moment to eat, also without sacrificing in the clefts, because of having already first loved Christ, and thus living in a new situation, and with a new ‘person’ ( *‘person’ concerning ourselves).

The very mention of the phrase “My new name,” in relation to God, brings up something that I received from Him, concerning His talent being given back to Him (the talent that is Christ’s). Meaning that AS the unprofitable servant, Jesus lost everything, even what He did have, when His outward body became sin and died, but received it back at His resurrection, and is still receiving from it now. Through this we may also symbolically understand how the gospels show God telling Jesus, when He asked God to glorify Him: “I have and will again.” Thus showing Christ to be glorified twice. And in this we may also further understand the representation given to us, as Christ spoke about receiving 30, 60, 90, and even 100fold back from the seed. In this symbolism, the 100fold would be receiving from Him both in this life and in the life to come, concerning eternal things: His love, and His gifts. This showing the 30, 60, and 90fold to mean only receiving in the next life, also pertaining to receiving ‘the talent back’ then. And I believe that this is where the idea of ‘karma’ is found, though this is the good version and eternal spoil of God.

With true power being found in not having to fight, but in praising God and receiving from Him, even saying “What is it,” we may find the relationship of how we are to stop fighting, even though the Bible shows us to having to war spiritually, and having to overcome, even to overcome ourselves. This is true just as what has entered in no longer has to fight, as we are also bringing all things to Christ, to be under Him, at His feet. It is a fight to stop fighting, and this is where someone might ask, also regarding ‘stranding one’s self for the LORD: “You want me to lay down, and or, take a dive?” Here though, is actually the answer, though also a question in one form, to the word manna, as it means “what is it?”

One covering that we have in the LORD, just as a net protecting a person walking on a high wire, is laughter. We may read in Genesis about God asking Sarah why she laughed, and we can also discern how God may or may not have been mad at her at the time. And in this we receive the true definition of discipline, as it doesn’t mean ‘gaining one’s will or initiative,’ but to change. And thus in discipline, all of the efforts of tough love are vain. In these things, the laughter of God, which also may be a self consuming fire, comes in when we miss something, or when there is something present that we don’t know, understand, or possibly even fully believe. In these things, a good attitude to cultivate is laughter, and I believe that the phrase, ‘a sense of humor,’ is found in being able to find pure laughter though corruption may be present. So is laughter then founded on a lack of knowledge? No, just as that leads to death according to Hosea 4. Laughter is founded on God knowing more than us, and us believing not only that, but that He has the answer for us, and that it doesn’t mean us not receiving something, or not wanting something anymore.

One speaker on psychology said that our brains love to organize, and that this is actually their primary function, just as our brains and it’s anatomy seeks self consciousness, both for security, and for pleasure. From this we may understand that not being intellectual is actually not really a personality trait, just as I said above, that we can’t be founded on what is absent. How can we be intellectual then? Through spirituality, which makes God happy, when it is in Spirit and truth, and thus we can continually have God’s laughter.

One way of viewing this, which is actually simplistic and kind of new age, is to see that the big picture gets bigger and bigger until we are nearly left with nothingness. In this we may find that we are spiritually going beyond photographs of the Spirit, into motion pictures. Just as we can go on from our sub conscious to self consciousness. Through representation, in these things, we may be able to find the ‘right’ for knowledge that is structural, for example, though I am not fully endorsing this: the Kabballah, or science. And so on one hand we have structural knowledge, and then on the other we have experiential knowledge. Does structural knowledge lack spontaneity? The root of disease is found in lacking self awareness and self consciousness and experiential knowledge; and the root of disorder is found in lacking structural knowledge. It is true, that when we go on from organization onto spontaneity that our faith is being tested, just as in going on from the foundation of repentance, to perfection. However, just as with the Law of Moses, the foundation of repentance is not taken away, but fulfilled and unable to be broken, being incorruptibly made. And so we have the end of the debate of walking the walk and talking the talk, just as our subconscious is as the gifts of the Spirit which are only in part right now, as Paul says, until full incorruption comes. Showing our subconscious to also remain forever, while what is corrupted is forgotten.

The main lie of Darwinism and evolution is that ‘all things continue just as they always have,’ which is something that is exposed by Peter in one of his letters, and is hypocritical when saying that all things is evolution. And the root of this is found in merely trying to claim true truth by looking at something objectively, and yet not having the actual substance of the power of God. For example, I might be a person who reacts to things, and who is self conscious, and whether or not I am able to physically be victorious in this present struggle for survival in the world, as it has corruption, it is the power of God by which I receive all things, and thus also I have true truth and eternal things. The cross of Christ is a synapse that is between expectantly waiting, and receiving, again showing the eternality of the fear of the LORD, and everyone’s ability to ‘have charge over their spirit’ as the Proverb says. And just as Christ was silent before His accusers, the Savior truly let go and pressed forward for the upward call in God in His good pleasure, purpose, and plan, stranding Himself. And so the cross is the synapse between the photographical moments we have in Him and the motion picture moments we have in Him, in relation to our subconscious, and our self consciousness.
