Human Spirit, Wisdom and Power Will Fail

2 Corinthians 12:6-10
Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say. To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassing great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.  Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

We are not referring to the born again spirit in man, but the one that doesn't get born again.We are not referring to the heavenly wisdom that fills a transformed mind, but the one that doesn't get transformed. We are not referring to the power of the incorruptible body that is being constructed secretly at God's right hand but the corrupted one. All these will fail altogether. They may seem attractive as a rose with all it's petals now, but it will fade and fail you, if you do nothing more than just admiring it or get it admired by someone. There is more to that than just admiration. You can have a born again spirit and if you do not occupy or fill it with the formation of the divine nature of Christ in it, what use will that spirit be. In fact, it will attract someone else to fill that spirit, someone whom you wouldn't want to be filled with. If you don't work out what you have been given with, someone else will use you as their work-out 'gym'. They will become stronger in you because you were simply careless with what you have been entrusted with-the born again spirit with your Helper. The human spirit, wisdom and power has long been pronounced as useless and ready for annihilation. If you are still expecting it to produce something good and lasting, you are the most deceived person. It can't! It won't, no matter how hard you try it! You must be born again! Your sinful and hostile mind must be transformed into the mind of Christ, only then, will there be Christconformation of your eternal body that is being constructed at Christ's right hand now. You must obey everything He had commanded us for that to occur fully. There are no known short-cuts for that. You claim you have come into the light, do you live by the truth daily. The Truth is in everything that Christ had commanded. Are you living by that? Do you obey everything He has commanded you? You should!

John 3:12-21
I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven--the Son of Man. Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,  that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.  "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.  This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.  Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.  But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."

The Foundations of the Earth Shake

Isaiah 24:17-22
Terror and pit and snare await you, O people of the earth.  Whoever flees at the sound of terror will fall into a pit; whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a snare. The floodgates of the heavens are opened, the foundations of the earth shake.  The earth is broken up, the earth is split asunder, the earth is thoroughly shaken.  The earth reels like a drunkard, it sways like a hut in the wind; so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion that it falls--never to rise again.  In that day the LORD will punish the powers in the heavens above and the kings on the earth below. They will be herded together like prisoners bound in a dungeon; they will be shut up in prison and be punished after many days.

No matter who you are or have made yourself to be or look like, you are accountable to the LORD for every of your actions, careless words, intentions and motives of your hearts. You shall not escape from the LORD for all your evil deeds on Earth. You will be made accountable for all the works of your hands. Whether you like it or not, this is the truth. Rebellion remains a rebellion. Disobedience will remain as disobedience. Disobedience cannot be read as obedience. The picture of a prison and punishment here is real. We cannot do as we like on Earth. We have to obey the LORD and all that Christ our Lord had commanded. He still rules this Earth. We can never have that 'license' to practice the sinful nature of the Devil on Earth.The Devil may give that 'license' to you to practice it but that's not a valid license.That's a license to do evil on Earth.God never gives anyone the license to do evil on Earth. So, where did they get that license from? Who gave it to them? If you practice the sinful nature of the Devil in you, then you have that license from the Devil.The LORD never gives anyone license to do evil.If He did, He would have still kept Adam ans Eve in the garden of Eden. Instead, He locked them out of it, permanently.No one was given the license to do evil by the LORD. The Devil has given it to them. Do you see why the Fair and True Judge of the Earth would have to carry out justice and fairness as in the verses above?

 Hebrews 10:26-27
If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,  but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

A Deeply-rooted Spiritual Problem with Many Physical Manifestations

John 3: 6
Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

A relatively short verse but it's all about "giving births", did you notice? The flesh gives birth so does the Spirit. We have a physical birth as well a spiritual one. Both births bring about some manifestations-physical as well as spiritual ones.One experience occurs through natural means whereas the other by supernatural means. Flesh can only give birth to flesh and the Spirit to spirit. Both births happen through a seed. A seed  has to be sowed in order for us to be able to see a birth. A seed of the flesh can only produce another flesh. The Spirit can produce another new spirit. How can the Spirit come into a flesh and produce another spirit, when there is one already within that body. Only by the Spirit giving birth to one spirit when He comes into that body. How does the Spirit gain entrance into that body in order to give birth to a new spirit? By the "seed" planted in that body. What is that "seed"? That "seed" is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is that seed who must be sown into that body. That body has a soul too. That soul is also referred to as  the mind.The Spirit enters that body through the permission given by the LORD upon the person inviting the Lord Jesus Christ to be the Lord and Savior of his or her life. How do you invite the Lord Jesus Christ to be the Lord and Savior of your life? Believe that He was sent by the Father in heaven to be your Savior and Deliverer of your bondage to sin and the sinful nature of the Devil in you. Your believe in Jesus Christ our Lord will bring Him as the "seed" into you. That seed will bring on you God the Holy Spirit. God the Holy Spirit will come into you after you have believed that Christ is the"seed" of God you need in your life now. God the Holy Spirit will give birth to  a new spirit within you. Christ will be formed in you fully in that born again spirit as you obey everything Christ had commanded. God the Holy Spirit will bring into remembrance everything Christ had commanded. Christ our Lord is the Word of God. He is the "seed of God" in you. He fills your born again spirit through the full formation of His divine nature in there. This Christformation in your born again spirit will transform your mind (soul) accordingly as you continually obey everything He had commanded. This Christformation will go on within you until you are ready to see what you have sown through your life of obedience to Him. You will be clothed with your Christconformed and imperishable body at His return or the final resurrection, whichever you were ready for. Only He knows what you are ready for through your obedience to Him. No one else would know what occurs within you except you and the LORD. The divine nature of Christ is also the divine nature of God the Father in you. God the Holy Spirit fully "helps" you with this formation within your born again spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:7-16
No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.  None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"--  but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.  We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.  The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

The LORD Speaks

Psalms 50:1
The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.

The LORD Speaks and who says He doesn't? He is here on Earth as He was in the Old Testament times and the times of the early church. What He did then, He still does now! There might be silent times of the LORD, where He is absolutely silent but He speaks today,as He spoke to His prophets of the Old and the times of the early church. Today, He still speaks but do we listen to Him? Do we obey after we have heard Him speak? After hearing from Him, do we go about doing our own things? Do we not heed what He had spoken? Are we greater than Him? Are we all together greater than Him? No, we aren't. So, why do we still not listen to Him. Our hearts have become proud and obstinate. We refuse to listen. He summons the Earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets. Do we not fear and reverence Him above all. When He speaks, do we listen? We should listen to every word that comes from His mouth. They are words of life. They bring eternal life into you when you obey every of it. At the same time, when you don't obey what He speaks or commands, you will forfeit eternal life. Christ our Lord is the Word of God. He speaks through His beloved Son. Are we listening to Him? If we are listening to His voice, then why are we obeying the urges,desires and passions of the sinful nature of the Devil, instead? Why do we let the sinful nature of the Devil take control of our thoughts, actions and behavior? Shouldn't we be freed from the evil grip of the sinful nature of the Devil in us, if we claim we belong to the Lord Jesus Christ? Shouldn't we obey Him and everything He has commanded?

John 10:16
I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

The LORD is More Powerful

Luke 17: 26-27
"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

The LORD is more powerful than all men and women together. The floods during the time of Noah is a reminder of how powerful the LORD is over man. He is more powerful than all men and women together on this Earth. No one could do anything to stop what was coming. In fact, no one knew at that time, except Noah, that the LORD was more powerful than all men and women together. If they had, they would have heeded the many warnings before the flood. The rest did not believe Noah when he preached faithfully for 120 years, saying that the LORD is more powerful than all men and women together. Things have not changed much now,either. Our dull minds won't allow us to learn from the past. We get this dull minds by obeying the sinful nature of the Devil in us. It makes us spiritually blind. We stubbornly insist on our own destructive ways and practices. We think we know better than the LORD. There is a price to pay for such arrogance. "People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage". Things went on their way as usual. They refused to listen to the LORD. Physical pleasure was more important than the things of the LORD. Physical pleasure is unhealthy when it's stirred from the sinful nature of the Devil in you. That's what the Devil did. He enticed the people to the  maximum yielding of themselves to the urges, desires and passions of the sinful nature embedded within them. They could not see beyond their physical desires. They were blind to other things."Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man". Who is the Son of Man? The Son of Man is the Lord Jesus Christ. When will it be "the days" of the Son of Man? His return to Earth will be "the days" of the Son of Man. People will go about doing the same things at His coming, even after warnings have been sent out. They will not acknowledge, believe or obey Him. They would rather obey the sinful nature of the Devil in them than obey Christ and everything He had commanded.

 Matthew 24;30-33
"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.  And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.  "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.

Evil Sabotage (-saboteurs) Will Be Swallowed Up

Exodus 15:9-16
"The enemy boasted, 'I will pursue, I will overtake them. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword and my hand will destroy them.'  But you blew with your breath,and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.  "Who among the gods is like you, O LORD? Who is like you--majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? You stretched out your right hand and the earth swallowed them.  "In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling. The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the people of Philistia.  The chiefs of Edom will be terrified, the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling, the people of Canaan will melt away; terror and dread will fall upon them. By the power of your arm they will be as still as a stone-- until your people pass by, O LORD, until the people you bought pass by.

Evil sabotaging practices originate from the sinful nature of the Devil in you. Like Pharaoh and his evil men who sabotaged those led out of Egypt by Moses. Evil men do sabotaging. Sabotaging is part and parcel of the Devil. People with the nature of the Devil subduing them will tend to practice sabotaging. Sabotage is evil, very evil in the eyes of the LORD. This practice comes directly from the Devil. This is very wicked behavior. God knows what to do with those who practice this evil nature of the Devil in them. They deserve the eternal and fierce fire of hell. He has reserved this for those who are alike. This part of the nature of the Devil oppresses the poor and defenseless. Look at how arrogant the sabotage(rs) were. They breathed out their seven evil " I will". God takes note of this arrogance and stiff-necked rebellion. As though the people are at their mercies and not God's. They deliberately step on God's rule on Earth.They want to assume God's rule on Earth. Like the Devil they have become proud at heart. They do not have fear or reverence for Him. They think that they will not be stopped by anyone. They have become invincible and that's their evil presumption. They stubbornly persists in all their evil pursuits with no qualms at all. They blow their threats. They haven't seen how God with His mighty breath blows away everything on sight. Probably, they would need to see more of this from God!Even then, they might not turn to the LORD. They are that stubborn and rebellious towards Him and His word. Look carefully into the passage below and you'll see the evil Devil blowing his proud horns. Even what he thought in his own heart silently, the LORD heard it. See what the LORD did in response to his evil schemes.Sabotage is of the Devil. He and all those who practice this will be punished severely.

Isaiah 14: 12-19
How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!  You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.  I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High." But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit. Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your fate: "Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble, the man who made the world a desert, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home?" All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb. But you are cast out of your tomb like a rejected branch; you are covered with the slain, with those pierced by the sword, those who descend to the stones of the pit. Like a corpse trampled underfoot,

Who Becomes the Laughingstock of the World in the End?

2 Peter 3:3-9
First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."  But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water.  By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.  By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.  But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

The Devil always wants the LORD to be the laughingstock of this world but He becomes one in the process. Right from the start, the Devil always presumes that he has all the answers to life, when he actually is the laughingstock of this world. He tried it with Adam and Eve, by suggesting to the unsuspecting ones that he has all the answers to life. In the end, Adam and Eve's lives became a mess after they had listened to him. Their first son, Cain, murdered another son of theirs before their very eyes. They did not know what to do with that? Where did this 'wisdom' come from, in Cain? Yes, 'wisdom' to kill? You need the evil 'wisdom' to kill. Where did it come from? From the sinful nature of the Devil in him that was cunningly sowed through Adam and Eve. Who has become the permanent laughingstock of this world now? Yes, the Devil and all those who obey him, but he has also successfully made many more laughingstocks of this world though. We saw and we still see many today being made the laughingstocks of this world! Their lives aren't going in the right direction, but they still want to advice others. They claim they know everything, like the Devil, but everything they touch becomes a mess and they end up being the laughingstock of the world. Another words, they never knew the consequences of their lives beforehand, but they tried to advice others. They had no previous experience whatsoever but they would want to advice others. They have no good fruit to show but they still want to advice others. As a result, the many deaths, murders, mishaps, divorces, heartaches, headaches, cheating, lying, deception,suicides and all that we could see in the Bible, written from the times of Adam to what we keep witnessing today. People are stubborn and blind, they can't see the LORD their Creator and the one who sustains them, just like Adam and Eve. They can't take warnings because they want their own way and therefore they rebel against the LORD. How far, just how far can they go? They are destructive because they themselves are self-destructive material and they don't know it. The sinful nature of the Devil in them is a self-destructive nature and they don't know it. Like Adam and Eve they choose to reject the divine nature of Christ which comes through their obedience to everything Christ had commanded. They hurt others and themselves while they stubbornly persists in their sins. No one must warn or dissuade them from committing sins. They wouldn't like it or even accept it. They have become too proud and too arrogant to learn obedience to the LORD, so continue being the laughingstock of this world.  They want their way till the end.

Ezekiel 22:1-4
The word of the LORD came to me: "Son of man, will you judge her? Will you judge this city of bloodshed? Then confront her with all her detestable practices  and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O city that brings on herself doom by shedding blood in her midst and defiles herself by making idols,  you have become guilty because of the blood you have shed and have become defiled by the idols you have made. You have brought your days to a close, and the end of your years has come. Therefore I will make you an object of scorn to the nations and a laughingstock to all the countries.
