Psalm 34:1
I will bless the LORD at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth

In dealing with lukewarmness, Jesus showed how we would even be better towards Him, to be cold, then to be lukewarm, as a person can still have the integrity to understand they are separated from the LORD when they are cold, rather than when they are lukewarm. This brings up the premise in which we are perpetually either cold or hot. And this isn't something that is unwise to undergo, just as Jesus directly even said that we are either for Him or against Him. This is where we may be courageous, just as He speaks against the cowardly in Revelation. But when we are thus dealing with two opposite sides of the spectrum, as with being cold or hot, we need to have a good foundation, so that we can continue to have substance, and not merely be prone to change. And this is also true, just as the Bible says that to be given over to change brings calamity. Always praising God gives us the foundation by which we may go to and fro between being cold or hot, and not get stuck in being lukewarm. And more so, as we go to and fro between being cold or hot, we may know that it is God who is still cultivating in us, for His good pleasure, as His Word in Isaiah does say that He creates calamity. The verse saying that God creates calamity is not the same context of His word that says that God is not the author of confusion, and it is also not the same context of His word that says that God shows His power against the vessels of wrath and dishonor. As we go to and fro between being cold and hot, we are obviously having corruption in our own lives, and this could seem to be contradictory to our commandment from God which says to be holy. But if we understand that the sacrifice of Christ and the cross, in our lives, means that our outward person is perishing and corrupting and dying, we can understand that the calamity that is present in our lives, as we become either cold or hot, is actually the very substance of the tribulations and afflictions that the Bible talks about, telling us to have glory in them, because of the good work that God can work in us through Him, just as He works all things for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. And this is the same context of His Word that God speaks in, saying that He will refine us.

As we are sowing unto the Spirit and unto heaven within us, and as His grace is working in us, as the irritant and grain of sand that produces the pearl in the clam, we do come unto another polarity, just as we are to strive for perfection, and to receive His perfection, as we are to thus boldly come unto the throne of grace; and just as grace is something that can not be earned. This is the same context that the parable of the foolish rich owner is written in, and in which people may begin to falsely sacrifice relationship for works. The parable of the foolish rich owner is the very explanation of lukewarmness, and in it we may also begin to understand the way that simplicity does not lead unto God's oneness, as I have shown before. But the answer is found in Proverbs 31, as it speaks about the virtuous wife, which all of us are unto Jesus, whether we are married presently or not.

The foundation of God's praise is to be mixed with understanding, just as the hearing of God's word must be mixed with faith, as I have spoken about before; just as the story of the ten lepers who were healed along the way does show that true praise must actually be for a promise of God. The foundation of God's praise can become the precedent of God in our lives, and be what we have in place of sin's precedents. And this is true, through God's eternal eye. And this is true, just as the Law of Moses is written on the hearts and minds of those who are born again, having been fully fulfilled already, by Christ, through the Spirit, and *is* completely unable to be broken. In this way, both the Law of Moses and our foundation of praise, is as our subconscious, and a root or stem from which grows up the tree or plant. And this is the same context of God's word that James 1:21 is in:

James 1:21
receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls

Therefore our foundation of praise, in one context, is something that we are ALREADY fully doing at all times, and is as a well that we can continue to draw from, as we praise Him in the present tense. And we can have this, without sacrificing in the clefts, as if we were just cutting corners and being bad stewards. So it is not to say that we aren't to praise the LORD at all times in the present tense, or that we aren't to praise Him no matter what. But if we come to recognize the substance of our praise of God, to be as the Jewish feasts, we can then replace the Antichristian sentiment of 'letting go and letting God' and then in hypocrisy, next saying and going onto "gaining the initiative." The Jewish feasts were called by God to be set times that He met with them. Someone could say that everything I just said is an example of sacrificing in the clefts, but we must understand that just as it is possible to praise God at all times, thus showing how it is possible to infinitely praise Him, that our infinite NATURE is different than His infinite PERSON; as I have said before, showing how the sky is infinite to us, but does have limits, but that God's infinite nature is even beyond any created limitation. One large advantage that we can gain from what I have shown here, is that we can continue to cultivate God's Promises in the times when something such as simplicity may tell us to drop the subject, and to "just praise Him." I have also already shown the difference between faith and hope, as faith pertains to the present tense, and hope pertains to the future, in regards to God's Promises. Therefore through these things, even as we overcome darkness, we can come unto fully and truly praising God, receiving from Him, and having true wholeness, which is not falsely based on graceful condemnation. Our abundantly above, as in relation to what we can do abundantly above our own precedents, in praising Him, through these things, may come forth, as we give God our freewill offerings, on top of our praise in our set times. The NT says that the Jewish feasts were shadows, and we can understand these through the testimonies of Jesus Christ. Our set times are the instances in which we have increase, in regards to the knowledge of God and His Promises for us; just as our inheritances in Him are also of His good pleasure and will. And it is in these things, that our foundation in the Spirit is always hot, no matter what corruption may be going on in our outward person as our seed rots and dies. And it is in these things that we may have the answer to Psalm 106:2, which is also the same context by which we may put precept upon precept, in regards to Proverbs 18:14b and Matthew 24:45-46.

Psalm 106:2
Who can declare all His praise

Obviously, as we still have a corrupted flesh, and will until our bodies are made new, we are going to be cold in certain areas of our lives, until then. And this happens, just as Isaiah 40 says that the flower fades and the wind blows *it* away, and as Paul said that our inward person is renewed. And so these times, in which our corruption is replaced by incorruption, and in which our sin and death is replaced with righteousness and life, are actually examples of His set times and feasts, which can also be specific, and or conceptual. Therefore also, even if we have to continually work on the parts of ourselves that are cold, we may still continue to meditate on good things: the promises and gifts that we are receiving from Him. And it is in this way also, that we may understand and know that it is not wrong to praise God because of what He has gives us, as if we should be gracefully condemned, attempting to lay a foundation that is based on ‘how great’ we can praise Him, while receiving nothing. And this is the same kind of truth that the Bible speaks in, saying that we are to have childlike faith and humility, and this is the foundation for what I say, when I say that godly humility is to know that it is His good pleasure to give us His kingdom. And in regards to the question, as to the definition of humility, and it containing the truth of God being higher than us, we can understand and know that we are honoring Him when we make requests, pray, and ask of Him.

This brings up a major question. What do we ask for? Well, the word manna means 'what is it?' And the Bible also shows that manna is spiritual food, thus showing us that asking God for things is not unspiritual. In this way, our asking of God, is the very substance of what our hearing of His Word is supposed to be mixed with; just as the Bible says that those who fell away from God after leaving Egypt, did not mix the Word they heard from Him with faith. Here we may also know that our hope is actually His Promises. One contrasting element in this, is that when Joshua and Caleb gave the good report, in regards to entering into the Promised Land, Joshua said "they shall be bread for us." And so through discernment, we may know that as Gideon and Jehoshaphat praised God, and thus had victory, that the substance of their praises in Him were essentially: "What is it?" We may also know that it was this that the Israelites lacked, who fell away after giving and believing in the bad report. Along with this, the Book of Jasher says that when the Israelites had got to the Red Sea, after leaving Egypt, and had seen that the Egyptians were coming after them, that the tribes came together in different groups, and were coming up with ideas, as to what to do. One group wanted to go through the camp of the Egyptians and confound them. And though it may seem as if Gideon and Jehoshaphat prevailed in this way, by confounding their enemies, Moses' direction at the Red Sea, as He called upon the LORD, was actually God's will. Just as the Bible says that the Israelites rebelled at the Red Sea, thus showing what they did, as to being wrong. And so our meditation may continually be on good things, even when we are in warfare, and we can fulfill the word of God, in which Jesus said to praise Him that our names are written in the Book of Life, and not that we have charge, and or, authority, over darkness.

But what about the times that we are to fight, and to do it directly, as the NT speaks about spiritual warfare? Many people who practice Karate believe that it is more powerful to not fight. And this is true in Christ. And it is possible, through the Holy Spirit, to be able to always be positioned in God, to be able to win wars, though there is no fighting, even physically. One example of this is found in how Jesus said that we can bind what is bound in the third heaven, and that we can loose what is loosed in the third heaven. In the OT, David spoke about God teaching him how to war, and we may still gain from that, and as a promise of God, whether or not anyone wants to debate whether or not is to Christ-like to EVER physically fight, already knowing that we do spiritually fight, as shown in the NT. Love is the most powerful thing in the universe, and it is more powerful than any adversary, at any moment, no matter what, just as love does no one any harm. And this completely takes away the precedent for any kind of fighting or warring. How then, can we love the enemy? Through knowing that our training from God, comes through our wrestling with Him, as we go on from childhood, unto being mature, just as Jacob wrestled with God and won, and just as God strives with us at times, though He says He won't always strive with us. We can know, as shown before, that when we are wrestling with God, or when He is striving with us, that He is doing it so that we can gain the gift He has for us, even though we have to overcome to get it. This is the context by which 'rewards' begin to come forth from, and this is also the context that Paul wrote in, speaking about his thorn in the flesh, and God's strength being made perfect in weakness. Furthermore, the Bible says that God ordains praise and strength from babes, and from this we may also know that, again, our praise can defeat the enemy, and is stronger than the enemy, though it be found even in a small child. Going on from this, we may also know that whether we are abased or abounding in physical things, that His word is something that we can always have and sow with. In the times that we are overcoming darkness, wrestling God, and when He is striving with us, He is doing the impossible, just as Jesus spoke about how all things are possible with God, and for him who believes. And that is the 'how' in relation to being made strong, when Christ is strong, even though we are weak, and this is the context in which Paul said:

2 Corinthians 4:7
we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us

So what happens when we receive things from God and praise Him for them? He is praised, and thus is shown as love, and He is glorified, as Ephesians says:

Ephesians 1:18
the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints

But what about God's angels, who do not have a sinful nature to overcome? This is the contrast that Hebrews makes, as it says that Jesus HAS BEEN exalted higher than the angels, and we can know that if He has, then as we are in Him, we are too. And from here, we also have the fulfillment of another verse in Ephesians, which says that we have been seated in the heavenly realms in Christ, knowing that this pertains to our born again insides. This also pertaining to our authority, as it is the fallen angels that we battle, as the Bible shows the authority for the universe having been given over to Satan; just as Adam and Eve sinned, and just as Satan so spoke, as he was tempting Jesus.

One of the easiest ways to identify falsehood, false meditation, false light, euphoria, and the worship of angels, is to identify whether a person is receiving 'peace' through their mind or their heart. And this is how we can differentiate between the 'peace and safety' that is not in God's oneness, and the peace and security that is. Up front, the Bible does not say much about peace of mind, but speaks more about peace of heart, though this does not mean that we are to not have peace of mind; just as the Bible also does not show passion as a good thing, but in Him we may know that we can have passion in Him. In these ways of falsehood, the foundation for simplicity is exposed, even if people say that simplicity gives them peace of heart, because it is only through the 'letting go' in the mind, that a person comes unto believing that they have peace through simplicity. This topic is one of the biggest factors concerning false divinity, and actually, it is false praise which occurs often in the church, and as false divinity, in this way, though most people are ignorant of this. Our mind does choose what our will carries out, but it is our heart which is the foundation for our mind, even though when we breath in, our hearts may be fed through our mind. The deception of simplicity, of false divinity, and of what is Antichristian, offers a false salvation, as people think their 'burden is being lightened' and that they are thus in God's will. The very networking for the speaking idol, is to over-ride the foundation of the Spirit, and to still have the sightly reaping of what is right, and it is in this, that the mind and the heart must be correctly discerned, just as we to rightly divide the word of truth. And this is where the importance of spiritual wisdom and understanding comes in, which is not just limited, as if it is only a gift for some people. When it comes down to it, there is a context, in which the difference between good and evil (because of the manipulation of grace, and the installment of falsehood, as with false light, and not just darkness) may be undetectable. And it is here, where worshiping God in oneness, and in Spirit and truth, is vital, and it is here where God's severity may be present, even though we, and or corruption, may be discerning things out to be common; and thus we have the precedent for what Hebrews says, concerning calling the blood of the covenant of Jesus Christ common, even as God did speak against what is common in more than one place, though the word does have a context that is godly, as in relation to being 'collective,' but even then, the truth of God is not found in what everyone seems to agree with, but with God, and His severity, which even says 'let God be true and every man a liar.'

It is when grace and perfection meet, as we are to thus come boldly unto the throne of grace and receive His perfection, even into our very beings, where the oneness of God resides. Just as Psalm 85 speaks about righteousness and peace kissing, and mercy and truth meeting together. This gives the substance of our overcoming, and of the parts of our lives which were cold, becoming hot.
