2 Peter 1:3-4 ( KJV )
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Taking on the divine nature. Power to bridge the rivers and cross over, is the straight and narrow path, that leads to life eternal. This can only be reached through the purification of the heart. Only accomplished by love, this is the glorious road to Zion (means pure in heart).
Jesus spoke of the broad way that leads to destruction which is death. For life which is more abundant we must put off darkness & be clothed in light. This is life and that which is more abundant. To be free from sorrow or affliction.
Overcome death which is the last enemy.
Road to Zion that a fool need not to err there in.
It’s the straight and narrow path, to Zion. (pure in heart, a sunny place.)
This road will bring you from the man kingdom into the God Kingdom.
Carnal thinking to thinking with the mind of Christ. Carnal flesh transformed
To Divine flesh.
This will not be taught by the precepts of man.
Love is the vibration of power.
Love surmounts all obstacles.
Love removes all negation.
Love casts out all fears.
Love is the baptism of the Holy Spirit in its highest.
Love is the healing power.
Pure love is freed from selfishness.
Love flows outward.
Love is the spirit of sharing.
Love never seeks for credit or reward.
Love is never self –indulgent –never demands-never possesses .
Love gives.
Love Blesses.
Love sacrifices. Love is the bridge between mortality and immortality.Without Love being developed all is as sounding brass or clanging symbols.To develop Love requires casting out negatives, fears, doubts of ones life.
2.
When Christ comes, we are to be purified even as He is pure. This is the pathway of the overcomer. God gave man weakness, that He may become strong. This is the Glory of the overcomer.
Isaiah 25:8 ( KJV )
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
Daniel 12:9-10 ( KJV )
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Daniel 12:3-4 ( KJV )
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Praise God the book was open by our Lord Jesus Christ, the seals are being broken in you.
Satan, darkness, The tree of Knowledge of good & evil, carnal mind, we have been in darkness we lost our way from paradise, thank God we have the way back by
By our elder brother, who made the way for us all, by taking us to the cross. We have the way back, the price was paid. The perfect sacrifice, final blood offering, that ended all sacrifices. That freed us all from sin.
Satan, darkness, ignorance. The author of death. Not God, God permitted death to be established as a way of release for those who would continue to sin.
Wages of sin is death. That price was paid in full. We have the way back, to the tree of life. It’s that straight and narrow path, the road to Zion. Pathway of life and not death. To come into the vision, that God is establishing in our hearts. Without this vision man is still perishing, still going by way of the grave.
Genesis 3:24 ( KJV )
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
This pathway was guarded & still is, So man cannot partake of the tree of life & live forever in his sins. This transformation comes by the renewing of your mind by the word of God.
Sin is the cause of death, the pain, anguish, misery, old age & suffering. Which is all death.
3.
If man was permitted to put forth his hand & partake of the fruit of the tree of without overcoming sin, he would go on forever in sin and misery. So God permitted death to remain on earth until man himself overcome the cause of it.
It is true “through one man death came into the world”. Each man since that day has brought his own death. We were born into mortality & remain here because of our own failures. It is time to arise and shine, for your light has come & the Glory of the Lord has risen upon thee. Arise and overcome.
There is no Glory in death. But, death for the suffering, old age & helplessness is mercy. Man was not ordained to die! Death is the last enemy to overcome.
Ancient Patriarchs never lived under the law. Lived under the promises through faith.
Enoch was translated & should not see death. His testimony was he pleased God.
This chapter in Heb. Mentions Noah, Abraham & Sarah, all died in faith
Heb11:13-15 ( KJV )
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
They still have the promise. Read the last scripture of the chapter.
Hebrews 11:40 ( KJV )
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
They will be made perfect with us.
As we overcome the world, all sin, we will advance to the state of all knowing.
All knowing state. “If your eyes be single to the Glory of God. You shall be filled with all light & no darkness in you.”
No darkness in you. Means no negation, no doubts, no evil, no jealousies or fears or death. “Comprehend all things & God will unveil His face to you.
God’s promises are in the hands of man, they are meant to be fulfilled now.
Revelation 21:4 ( KJV )
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
No more death!
4.
Proverbs 13:14 ( KJV ) The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
Proverbs 14:27 ( KJV )
The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death..
What are the snares:
Negative thoughts
Hate
Discords
Selfishness
Jealousy—greed
Hunan traits These are snares that bring death. We can pass beyond the laws & enter into Glory by developing the attribute of love.
Anyone who takes hold of that first & great commandment of Love, will not be under the law. We will have entered the way of the Patriarchs , which is contact with God, this is our Holy calling. It is the straight & narrow way, it is the same way, Christ traveled & showed the way for us.
Isaiah 25:8 ( KJV )
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
John 8:51 ( KJV )
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
He shall never see or experience death.
Rom 6:21 ( KJV )
What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
1 Corinthians 15:26 ( KJV )
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Romans 7:5 ( KJV )
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
We don’t want to eat of that fruit from the tree of Knowledge of good & evil!
It is death and will always bring forth death to our bodies!
Romans 8:6 ( KJV )
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
James 1:12-15 ( KJV )
5.
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Death itself is corruption. Death itself is the fulfilling of Satan’s plan.
Separation of body & Spirit!
Being born again, Born of the Spirit, was what Jesus received on the Mount of Transfiguration.
It is for all that overcome. It is the perfecting Love. The snares of darkness have no power whatsoever.
This being born of the Spirit, translated, transformation is not a possibility but eternal truth.
Enoch did not see death. He changed his carnal flesh to flesh divine without descending through the gates of death.
For to be carnally minded is death but to be spiritually minded is life & power.
It is only through control & exalting thoughts can the carnal thoughts & habits be overcome & the carnal flesh changed to divine flesh.
Jesus said, “Follow me & let the dead bury the dead!
