WILL RELIGION, TRADITION AND CULTURE TAKE MAN TO HEAVEN?

While MORTAL MAN is finding WAYS to REACH or APPROACH Most High God in the Heaven to no avail, God already settled the matter before TIME began in ETERNITY! Man, who is SPIRIT but HOUSED in a BODY of CLAY called FLESH, JEHOVAH had a MASTER PLAN to RESCUE man from FALL and to TRANSFORM and PERFECT humanity to STATE of ORIGIN! The DIVINE COUNCIL of HEAVEN passed a DECREE to this effect. THE CHRIST, REDEEMER and EXECUTIONER of the ULTIMATE REDEMPTIVE PLAN and PURPOSE of God, offered HIMSELF WILLING to be SLAIN in the HEAVENS as SEAL of COVENANT for the REDEMPTION of humanity on Earth. This singular act of CHRIST paved WAY for the PREDESTINATION of ALL things through Him. CHRIST had GLORY with the FATHER, ALMIGHTY GOD before TIME and SEASON began. ALL CREATION, FORMATION and RENEWAL are HELD TOGETHER in CHRIST - for ALL things - VISIBLE and INVISIBLE CONSISTS in Him. The DIVINE COUNCIL of Heaven purposed that the FULLNESS of the GODHEAD dwell in CHRIST. So there was nothing made that was not made through CHRIST. He is HEIR to ALL things of the FATHER, Almighty God and RULER of the KINGDOM of CHRIST and KINGDOMS of the Earth.

Moses, who is the GREATEST DELIVERER of ALL TIMES, introduced JUDAISM and ZIONISM. Moses and some MAJOR PROPHETS of old spoke of the COMING of the CHRIST! Even John the Baptist, the FORERUNNER of CHRIST, was spoken of by Moses. That one will come in the likeness of Elijah to turn the HEART of the FATHERS to the CHILDREN and vice versa. John the Baptist did emerge as the GREATEST among the Sons and Daughters of MEN. John started the BAPTISM of REPENTANCE to PAVE the WAY for CHRIST. The PHARISEES [FAR TO SEES] and SADDUCES [SAD TO SEES] were in LEGAL SPIRITUAL BATTLE with the DISCIPLES of John and Christ. JUDAISM and ZIONISM like other RELIGIONS are CHARACTERIZED by LAWS, STATUTES, CHARGES, PROMISES, ASSURANCES, TESTIMONIES, WARNINGS, REBUKES, JUDGMENTS, PUNISHMENTS, RULES, REGULATIONS, NORMS, CONFORMITIES, TRADITION, CULTURE, CREEDS, HERESIES, SLAVISH FEAR, OCCULT SUBMISSION, MANIPULATION, CONTROL and INFLUENCE of SATAN and COHORTS. RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES were more RITUALISTIC and SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS. The JEWS have in the TORAH the COMING to the MESSIAH, Son of King David! While JEWS looked to an EARTHLY KINGDOM, the MESSHAIH emerged with SPIRITUAL KINGDOM called KINGDOM of CHRIST. The KINGDOM of CHRIST on EARTH began the SPIRITUAL WALK of Humanity with Almighty God. God already had in place STRUCTURES [1. Heavens 2. Earth 3. Underworld 4. The Supernatural World 5. Universe 6. VISIBLE and 7. INVISIBLE things.] God had a DIVINE ORDER, adherence to which MORTAL MAN will be ESTABLISHED. God had His PRINCIPLES to which MORTALS can WALK in His BLESSINGS!

CHRIST on EARTH became known as JESUS and He INTRODUCED GOD-LIFE and GODLINESS to Humanity. God-Life is simply a LIFE of the SPIRIT! WALKING in the SPIRIT sets HUMANITY above SIN, TRANSGRESSION, INIQUITY, SPIRITUAL DEATH, SHAME, RIDICULE, BONDAGE and LIMITATION. WALKING with God in the SPIRIT demands DEMISE of OWN EXPECTATIONS, OWN WILL, OWN PLANS, OWN PURPOSES, OWN AMBITION, OWN GOALS, OWN DESIRES etc. ALL the "SELF" in MAN must DIE and give way to the WILL, PLAN and PURPOSES of God for Humanity on Earth. Many BELIEVERS and CHRISTIANS fail to DIE OF SELF, therefore remain under the MANIPULATION, CONTROL and INFLUENCE of the KINGDOM of DARKNESS, the DOMAIN and ARENA of Satan and FALLEN ANGELS. BELIEVRS and CHRISTIANS STAGNANT, RETROGRESS, PROCRASTINATE and SLUM while STILL under the INFLUENCE of FORCES or POWERS of DARKNESS.

Many CHRISTIANS, BELIEVERS and CLERGY still WALK in IGNORANCE and ZEAL without KNOWLEDGE! The CALLED are to SERVE God and Humanity. For LACK of UNDERSTANDING and KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH, a sizeable proportion of the PRIESTHOOD, WALK in the FLESH! LEADERSHIP of CHURCHES do not even ACKNOWLEDGE the EXISTENCE or PRESENCE of the HOLY SPIRIT. No WONDER most CHURCHES LACK POWER! The HOLY SPIRIT is on EARTH to HEAD, DIRECT and GUIDE the CHURCH, which CHRIST JESUS purchased with His blood. Such DIVINE MANDATE cannot be taken over by CHURCH LEADERSHIP! Unfortunately, CHURCH LEADERSHIP today WALLOWS in IGNORANCE, FOOLISHNESS and STUPIDITY! Many CHURCH LEADERS cannot STAND the HOLY SPIRIT because their FLESH and SATANIC MANIPULATIONS, CONTROL and INFLUENCES will not allow them. PHYSICAL and SPIRITUAL POLLUTANTS have besieged CHURCHES!

CONGREGANTS and CLERGIES are ALL STRUGGLING! God is DESIRING to BLESS His PEOPLE but CANNOT because of the aforementioned POLLUTANTS. BELIEVERS and CHRISTIANS do not even KNOW HOW TO WALK IN THE PRINCIPLES of God to ACCESS His BLESSINGS. The THEOLOGICAL SEMINARIES and SCHOOLS have not helped matters either. ACTS of REASONONG, LOGIC and RATIONALIZATION limit Humanity to the PHYSICAL WORLD! A WALK in the SPIRIT, sets a BELIEVER or CHRISTIAN above the PHYSICAL WORLD. The SUPERNATURAL then becomes evident.

BELIEVERS and CHRISTIANS will continue to remain in DEFEAT, STAGNATION and RETROGRESSION until they STRIVE to DIE of "SELF" and PAVE WAY for SOUND WALK in the SPIRIT with God. The GOD of PERFECTION will not countenance IMPERFECTIONS! No PROSPERITY PRAYERS can CHANGE the FORTUNES of BELIEVERS and CHRISTIANS, unless ALL learn to WALK in the PRINCIPLES of God. What God has made STRAIGHT cannot be made CROOK by mortal men and go UNPUNISHED! People can gather or assemble on HILLS, MOUNTAINS, VALLEYS, FORESTS, etc. to SHOUT "COME DOWN PROSPERITY!" but nothing will HAPPEN unless ALL and SUNDRY FOLLOW the PRINCIPLES of God. Almighty God cries in the HEAVENS, "Oh, my people PERISH for LACK of KNOWLEDGE. Because you have REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I also will REJECT you and your CHILDREN!" Let us TURN to the OLD PATHS, where LIFE, PROGRESS, PROSPRITY, FRUITFULNESS and BLESSINGS are, and we shall FIND REST for our SOULS. AMEN. SHALOM!
