As we realize or are quicken to whose we are, and who we are, we began to rule and reign with Christ. It is the power, authority that God gave us as His children inheriting the Kingdom that His word promises to us, who walk in obedience to His word.

We see Jesus appearing to His disciples through the Spirit, that he has come in the Spirit to lead and guide them into all truth still preparing a place for them, that where He is they may be. We begin the process of Priesthood ruling and reigning with Him here on the earth as promised. By Him using the title Son Of Man He is displaying our kinship as our elder brother the First-Fruit of the harvest that we are the Sons of God," Be it to us according to Our Faith."

It's easy to see why the Prophets' where in need of being strong and of a good courage having to stand and live in their country pointing out its flaws and faults issuing statements and decrees from God, of their demise, destruction and coming judgments of its' people and leaders. Few Americans receive messages from preachers and teachers calling them hypocrites and placing them on par as other nations to face God chastisement and judgment.

It was the excruciating death on the cross for Jesus,Him shedding His precious innocent blood for us, our sins that has granted us access to God, to be able to boldly go before the throne of Grace And petition Him in the name of our Lord and Savior. Its' a much better way, in which we can be cleansed of all our sins, being continually washed in His blood for the removal of sin.

It is preaching of the Gospel that brings us to faith to realize we are guilty of the blood of Jesus a innocent man, as Peter's sermon on the Day of Pentecost convicted the hearts of the hearers of just what had occurred. The same with Stephen except the fact that these where tares, the children of the wicked one that rejected the word of God. It is there own blood that will have to pay for their own sins, because the price (wages of sin) has to be paid. It's a debt no man can pay and live, its one that has been paid for those who confess their guilt.

Being washed in the blood is a bible doctrine that is taught to those who take up their cross to follow after Jesus denying themselves, because it requires death to self. It is one that you began to see that it is a reasonable service to present our bodies as a living sacrifice. We learned that His blood has a sanctifying effect on us, that separates or sets us apart from the world, and love of the world

Just like flushing the impurities from a wound the blood of Jesus Christ flushes await the sinful impurities from our minds, bringing every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ. It must be actively brought to fruition in our lives, we must be actual doer's of God's word through acts of faith. When we come to Jesus, He explicitly tells us to take up our cross and deny ourselves to follow Him. This means that we are to begin the process of leaving this world's system behind, putting to death the old man, no longer yielding ourselves to it's pulls on us to yield our members as servants to sin, we have to die to self which is entangled in this world's system (Babylon).

Being washed in the blood is a bible doctrine that is taught to those who take up their cross to follow after Jesus denying themselves, because it requires death to self.

As Jesus is Preparing His Kingdom rule here on earth, He also are washing His Bride with the water of His Word, so that she will be a chaste virgin without spot or wrinkle, no blemishes. This process begins as the spirit baptizes us into the body of Christ, and works mightily is us through obedience, as we begin glorying Him being made in His image, as we fulfill the purpose which he has created us for.

When we see Pilate taking water to wash his hands of the blood of Jesus, we are like the unbelievers that don't understand the spiritual and cleansing ability of the symbolic use of the word water as a universal solvent (cleansing and spiritual) application of water to our lives as The Word washes our sins away and sprinkles us with a clean purified heart. As in Ezekiel when the Prophets says "sprinkle us with clean water."

As we continue studying imprecatory prayers and Psalms, we look at having clean hands, because it links the spiritual reasons why those who pray the prayers and Psalms shouldn't be as the ones they are trying to imprecate. The Pharisees' was guilty of this, who Jesus pronounced woes upon because of their hypocrisy. They are as the government and religious leaders today are the reason the nati0ns are in freefall.

We see that Jesus pronounces woes upon the Pharissee's in last weeks teachings, as we where learning that imprecatory prayers and Psalms were not to be used by new believers, for personal vendettas or revenge but by the more mature believers and that against God's enemies such as the False teachers, advesaries to the cross. It is a tool or weapon in the hands of those who know how and when to use the sword of God's word.

Jesus came and laid Himself as the chief Cornstone, Giving the Apostles the Words to lay the foundation to build upon. The foundation Jesus laid is Himself—His person, ministry, death, and resurrection, often described as the "chief cornerstone". According to 1 Corinthians 3:11, no other foundation can be laid, as this divine-human foundation provides an immovable, eternal base for the church and individual lives.

In this series we will see that it is on the foundation of Jesus Christ that we receive our praying imprecatory prayers and singing Psalms are part of a child of Gods means to an end in His will being fulfilled to judgment and His Kingdom coming

We are to be forgiving, not carrying around others sins against us (John 20:23). We are to trust God to take care of vengeane against those who distress and trouble us (2 Thess. 1:2-7). As we grow in the faith,, we as mature believers can more accurately pray the prayers of imprecation on God's enemies, not personally upon our enemies or those who transgress us.

We're continuing learning about imprecatory prayers, and that they should not be prayed by new believers or those without a working knowledge of the Scriptures. We see that prayer is both a weapon and a tool. These prayers are one of the means whereby God deals with His enemies, bringing His Kingdom to be done in earth. They in this time probably should be aimed at governments, and false religious teachings. They are not for personal vengeance, or angry retaliation for perceived wrongs.

The Church has to be taught about one of the weapons of our warfare that can be both a tool or weapon, and should not be handled carelessly. It is one that calls into action to bring judgment upon His enemies that His will may be done in our lives. It is at odds between members of the Christian faith as to whether it should be used today. But we can see it can be one of the fiery darts, a sword or rod upon our adversaries.

We study prayers here that we have or need a working use of God's word to pray these types prayers, which should be seldom used against your personal enemies but for the enemies of God or His work, those against the Spirit of Truth. We must also realize the consequences' for answers to these prayers are up to God. It is up to Him to address them in the way He what's and when.

God in His search for a man to stand in the gap, lands on us to whom the Old Testament was written. As we learn it's not an eye for an eye but as Jesus said pray for our enemies and those that despitefully use us. We through the spirit develop Agape love, in which we have the love of God shed abroad in our hearts to where we can Love with that kind of love for immigrant's (foreigner's) those we don't know, for the oppressed and those suffering from social injustices. we focus on the unity of the body of Christ.

The Church has to learn, that it is a command (duty) that we should pray for others. We must have our own lives unencumbered by the weights and sin that besets us, by studying the word of God, being a doer of it, not just having knowledge of it. we also must be born again, not rebellious or disobedient to His commandments and precepts.

Just as Christ entered the world becoming our High Priest, we are to see ourselves as preparing for the priesthood of the believer's. We need to learn to talk to God for man, just as Jesus spoke for us in John 17 we are to talk for one another as in 1 John 5:10-18.We have to know and understand the word of God, so that we intercede according to His will, learning not trying to go beyond it.

The Prophet is a fine example of how we should pray, coming to God confessing our sins, acknowledging we've been wrong and praying according to His word. It shows he was as tudent of the Bible watch and taking heed to the time of fulfillment of God's prophecy about what would happen when they violated His word and what the ppunish would be. It was inclusive of himself laso, even though there's no reported sin of his in the Bible ( Ezekiel 14:14-20 ).

in dealing with conceit concerning self it is one of the most toughest issues to deal with, not just a character flaw that one acknowledges orcan see, because ones own pride blinds you to this issue.

I think of all the writers, that Solomon had the most to say about being conceited, whether he was talking from lessons he learned like in Ecclesiastes about all being vanity. He made lot's of statements about be wise in your own conceits which is astounding given he was given wisdom as a gift from God, but seems as it was earthly cause he even caused the dividing of the tribes and his alliances by marriage's was his his downfall into pagan idolatry, Built pagan shrines, raised taxes, it seems it was cause everything was about him and not denying himself any pleasures.

As the world moves closer to the end times, it is as Paul told Timothy that it would be perilous times with men lovers of themselves. covetous, lovers of pleasure more than God. We have to examine the Book of Daniel as The Book of Revelation, in more of spiritual sense than the physical because we are fighting spiritual wickedness, powers and principalities.

We have to be careful to critically analyze our thoughts, motives, intents and action throughout the day. It is in exercising the word of God to bring every thought into captivity, realizing how wicked and sin bound the old man rally is, putting it to death not allowing ourselves to yield to obey its sinful pulls of the old human nature. It is hedonistic, narcissistic in everyway through the strongholds that Satan has on us.

Self-control, being a fruit of the Spirit and a gift of the Spirit, allows the individual to be part of the process of working out their own salvation. We must, by being a doer of the word of God, begin to put the self to death, by denying it of its fleshly pleasures that control us. We must begin to mortify the members of our body, bring them under our control, being led by the spirit of God, taking up our cross and following Jesus.

We have to learn to subject the body to Jesus, or it will have us serving the desires, passions, emotions, pleasure, and the material world. It never goes away; it forms the old man. When born again, we get a new nature that struggles against this old carnal nature. It has to be brought under consisently, we need to be aware of it.

These are characteristics (fruit), and gifts that can be seem maturing in the believers lives, as they increase in faith and being doer's of God's Word. They are fertized by so many differing processes in the regeneration on the New Man, but requires dying to Self, self-denial being led by the spirit of God. It is one of those that's both a fruit and gift, that God gives through His grace by faith.

What of the processes that the Spirit undertakes in the New believer is developing the fruit of self-control (temperance) and bridges it as a gift of the Spirit, which the believer operates by being a doer of God's word. In denying self, putting to death the old man, mortifying the members of his body actually taking up his cross to follow after Jesus, causes a fruit growing process that consistenly matures over time.

We derived a mind(conscience) contrary to God, by willful subjection of Adam to transgressing God in willful disobedience, which made us self-centered, self-pleasurers, selfish all the attributes and character of our father the devil. God had to redeem some, being born again by faith into Jesus (the Second Man), who was made a quickening spirit, that would regenerate us transforming our mind, being conformed to His image by the obedience of faith to His word.

 Sir Walter Scott put it this way, "O what a tangled web we weave / When first we practice to deceive." Some just enter into Church's not actually hungering for God, desiring change in our lives, many began to profess or confess something they don't really haveA BornAgian Experience with the Lord. in which they deceive themselvwes and try to deceive others that they are now children of God, which is a really serious offense, believeing a Lie, never being convered

It lead Adam and Eve away from God , the Paradise they once called home, it was self-deception and until this day remains the biggest obstacle to eternal life that is self-deception. We convince ourselves everything is alright, and causes us to trust or have confidence in the imaginations of our own my or creation. It is a pipe dream which says we can live according to our own dictates.

In being born again it is primary that we seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, without seeking stuff. Our Father know what we have need of, as we seek Him and The Kingdom He says" All these things will be added unto you." We must by faith help to establish the Law, which will help us in our ruling and reigning with Him.

This is one of the hardest lessons to get into the body of the Church, because there's so much erroneous teaching from the many false teachers and so-called Prophets. As Paul had to deal with the "Super Apostles" of his day, we have to bring a message of death to self to a people who are influenced by self-ambition, self-pleasure, the most covetous (idolatrous) generation in history, those of the perilous times that where to come.

Self- denial, death to self a litany of things are necessary as Jesus teaches us to deny our selves and take up our cross if we want to become His disciples. As the Apostle Paul puts it, we must die daily, keep putting the old man to death is the only way to dethrone him with his selfish pride. Submit ourselves to God, humble ourselves under His hand.

As Daniel prophesies the Kingdom being given to the Messiah (Son of Man), and Him turning it over to the saints of the most High to rule and reign with Him, we see the re-establishing of the earth to fulfill His purpose bringing about the Kingdom of God, with His will being done here on earth. The Saints of God being given the power of loosening and binding.

To those of us looking for the coming Kingdom of God, we're preparing for it by obeying the Gospel, continuing to trim our lamps be ready for the calling out of the bride Groom, knowing that it says in His Word that the bride has made herself ready (Re. 19:7-8). We have to through obedience to the faith, have washed our selves in the blood of the Lamb, that we may have on dazzling white garments.

The establishment of the Kingdom upon the earth will not have a line of demarcation to the unbelievers who are looking for a sign. Jesus tells us that it comes without observation, but to His followers walking by faith will understand the signs of the times (Epoch). We must be born again to yoke up with Jesus and learn of Him, study to show our selves approved (2 Ti. 2:19).

We are dealing with the Prophecy in chapter 7 of Daniel, which should help us dispel the teaching that in the last days, He's talking about Israel only but the Church. This is where He says the true worshippers of God worship in Spirit and truth. That it would not be just from Jerusalem but wherever they worshipped in Spirit and Truth, and that the mountain of God (The Lord's house) would be in the whole earth, That people would flow in to learn of Him.

God's people throughout scripture has been warned and admonish about the treatment they would receive at the hands of the world He was leaving, to represent Him in (Luke 23:31;Matthew 10:24-26).If they treated Him in a reprehensible way they would do it unto us. We will also be partakers of His sufferings if we are to be partakers of His eternal life.

In the Book of Daniel when it speaks of the wearing out of the Saints, puts me in remembrance of two new Testament passages, about the unjust judge who aid "this woman weary me with her continual coming", and Peter saying "righteous Lot's was vexed by the inhabitants of Sodom. We in this world are being wore down by it's culture and the social injustices, wickedness and the spiritual darkness continual seemingly winning.

We have to be born again, so we will not be viewing the world from the under the sun perspective as Solomon was. We need to realize that spiritually God is achieving something in our lives strengthening our faith that we be more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. The world system is continually wearing out the saints of the Most High.

We have to understand that this continued assault on the saints of God, has to be shorten or no flesh would be saved. It seems as though many are growing apathetic, conceding to a pessimistic attitudes, being worn down cause its seems as though evil is winning, but this comes from a lack of assembling together lifting up the Word of Truth.

Most children has it built in them, to know or learn about their parents, to have a healthy relationship with them trying to please them in everyway. The same is true of us after being born again, we seek to learn about the Father who has adopted us into His family, and the things we can do to please Him. It's only after seeking Him with our whole heart are the treasures of the relationship fully revealed to us, to where we can readily access them.

When we are needing direction their a wonderful counselor that will guide us through the paths of light before we turn to the left or right. His advice leads to blessing, life eternal neither lets you down, won't forsake you that is always present. We have to have someone to get advice from on which way, what decision to make, how to treat each other during our course through this life day by day till those principles, His precepts are formed in us. Till we come to posse that same mind that is in Christ Jesus.

In seeking God through direct contact with His word, prayer and meditating in and on His word daily, we will draw nigh to Him, and He to us. By us mimicking Him, we began thinking His thoughts after Him, desiring those things in which He desires, loving what He loves, hating what He hates. Remember that David was a man after God's heart, seeking to please Him.
