HOLINESS; that which is separated to the service of God. "SOMEBODY ELSE!" Romans 12:2; And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Philippians 3:13; Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, "SOMEBODY ELSE!" v14; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Zacchaeus; Luke 19:4; And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. Colossians 3:2; Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. "SOMEBODY ELSE!" Luke 19:5; And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. John 15:4; Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. "SOMEBODY ELSE!"

"GOD IS (If You Let Him) TAKING US AWAY!" Genesis 12:1; Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee. 2 Corinthians 6:17; Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. Hebrews 12:14; Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. "GOD IS (If You Let Him) TAKING US AWAY!" Genesis 12:4; So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him. Hebrews 12:1; Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Genesis 13:8; And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. Romans 8:12; Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. "GOD IS (If You Let Him) TAKING US AWAY!"

"I Did'nt Know I Had To Be Somebody Else!" You can't do Christ like you want to do him. For the word states; Job 22:21; Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Even Jesus had, I Did'nt Know I had To Be Somebody Else moment. But because of his acquaintance with the Father. Matthew 26:39; And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. Now, I speak to your shame. A lot of church folk acquaintance is not well. John 4:7; There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. Be Somebody Else! v11; The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? In other words church folk are saying to live by you, This is a hard saying; who can hear it, John 6:57, 60. The penalty of doing Christ your way; John 4:13; Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again. You lose your blessing; Matthew 5:6; Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. "I Did'nt Know I Had To Be Somebody Else!" Job 14:4; Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. v7; For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. "I Did'nt Know I Had To Be Somebody Else!" 2 Corinthians 5:16; Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: v17; Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. "I Did'nt Know I Had To Be Somebody Else!" Overseer/Apostle

Luke 9:57; And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. v58; And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. "Your Excuse Is Not Good Enough!" v59; And he said unto another, Follow me.

Hebrews 10:23; Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) "Your Excuse Is Not Good Enough!"

"WHERE IS THE WALK BY THE FAITH?" For the most part the people of God, are receiving it, and being taught it. That Faith is something to have to get something from the Lord only. Hebrews 11:1; Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. When in actuality it's saying first of all, now where is your walk. The substance of your hope. Acts 17:28; For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. It's the Walk By Faith. Genesis 5:24; And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. Hebrews 11:5; For before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. "WHERE IS THE WALK BY THE FAITH?" 2 Corinthians 5:6; Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: v7; (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) Your Walk By Faith shouldn't be only about what he can do naturally for you. In Rahab instance; Joshua 2:12; And give me a true token: The Men of God answered; v14; And the men answered her, Our life for yours. Jesus said it this way; Matthew 6:33; But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. That's a Walk By Faith. Isaiah 1:19; If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land. Psalm 84:11; For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. "WHERE IS THE WALK BY THE FAITH?" MOSES; Hebrews 11:27; By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Philippians 1:21; For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. "WHERE IS THE WALK BY THE FAITH?" Overseer/Apostle

You Can't Talk Holiness; You Can't Sing And Praise Holiness; Isaiah 29:13; Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men. You Can't Dress Holiness; Matthew 23:26; Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. "YOU GOT TO LIVE HOLINESS!" Acts 19:15; And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? John 8:31; If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; v32; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. "YOU GOT TO LIVE HOLINESS!" Jesus; John 6:57; As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. Paul; 1 Corinthians 15:8; And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. v10; But by the grace of God I am what I am "YOU GOT TO LIVE HOLINESS!" 1 Corinthians 15:31; I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 2 Corinthians 5:17; Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. "YOU GOT TO LIVE HOLINESS!" Galatians 6:15; For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. v17; From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. Philippians 3:14; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. "YOU GOT TO LIVE HOLINESS!" Overseer/Apostle

"When 'i' Is More Important Than "Me"! John 21:17; He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He said this to Peter, cause he had just fallen to 'i' three times, he denied him thrice. Jesus was relating to him about the example he was setting. That example being a zeal and not a feed. Look what you are doing. Paul related to it this way; Romans 10:3; For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. "When 'i' Is More Important Than "Me"! Another of 'I' love the Lord at my convenience. Acts 24:24; And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. v25; And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. 'I' become important to you feel it's not time for the Lord. 2 Timothy 3:7; Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. "When 'i' Is More Important Than "Me"! This causes many problems. Cause; Matthew 26:41; The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 'I' don't get deliverance in and all around your life. But if things were switched around. And you become the less important, and "Me" become the most important; John 12:32; And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all  men unto me. "When 'i' Is More Important Than "Me"! Solution; 1 Corinthians 15:31; I die daily. "When 'i' Is More Important Than "Me"! Overseer/Apostle

"CRISIS"; turning point. Acts 4:13; Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. v14; And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. Romans 8:1; There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. "CRISIS"; turning point. v5; For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Acts 28:3; And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. v4; And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. "CRISIS"; turning point. 1 Peter 4:1; Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; v2; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. Acts 28:5; And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. "CRISIS"; turning point. v6; Howbeit they looked when he should haven swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. Galatians 2:20; I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. "CRISIS"; turning point. 2 Corinthians 5:17; Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. "CRISIS"; turning point. Crisis can mean for you Christ's. A belonging. Overseer/Apostle

Ok! "PLAY TIME IS OVER!" 1 Corinthians 10:1; Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; v2; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; v5; But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Apostle Paul said it this way; Romans 1:28; And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. "PLAY TIME IS OVER!" 1 Corinthians 10:6; Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. v7; Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Peter sat down at the table with Jesus, ate of his body, and drank of his blood. Then followed him afar. Matthew 26:58; But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end. "PLAY TIME IS OVER!" Matthew 15:8; This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. v11; Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Peter; Matthew 26:71; This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. v72; And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. "PLAY TIME IS OVER!" Galatians 4:9; But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Hebrews 12:14; Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. "PLAY TIME IS OVER!" 2 Timothy 2:15; Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 1 Corinthians 15:58; Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. "PLAY TIME IS OVER!" Overseer/Apostle

Have You Tried "MITE" Being Saved? Mark 12:42; And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. v43; Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: v44; For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living. Have You Tried "MITE" Being Saved? Luke 12:15; And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. Are you one; Mark 10:21; Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. v22; And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. Luke 12:34; For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Have You Tried "MITE" Being Saved? Proverbs 3:5; Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. v6; In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Matthew 4:4; It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Overseer/Apostle
