SAINTS OF GOD IN THE BEGINNING, BEFORE THE SUN, AND THE MOON WAS FORMED, GOD THE FATHER CREATED THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. GOD INSPIRED THE APOSTLE PAUL TO RECORD THESE WORDS ABOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. COLOSSIANS 1:12 GIVING THANKS UNTO THE FATHER, WHICH HATH MADE US MEET TO BE PARTAKERS OF THE INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS IN LIGHT. 13. WHO HATH DELIVERED US FROM THE POWER OF DARKNESS, AND HATH TRANSLATED US INTO THE KINGDOM OF HIS DEAR SON; 14. IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, EVEN THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS; 15. WHO IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE; 16. FOR BY HIM WERE ALL THINGS CREATED, THAT ARE IN HEAVEN, AND THAT ARE IN EARTH VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, WHETHER THEY BE THRONES, OR DOMINIONS, OF PRINCIPALITIES, OR POWERS ; ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM, AND FOR HIM; 17. AND HE IS BEFORE ALL THINGS, AND BY HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST.18. AND HE IS THE HEAD OF THE BODY THE CHURCH; WHO IS THE BEGINNING, THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD; THAT IN ALL THINGS HE MIGHT HAVE THE PREEMINENCE. SAINTS OF GOD NOTICE THE PROFOUND WORDS, RECORDED IN THE 15 th VERSE OF THESE SCRIPTURES. IT IS WRITTEN, THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE. A CREATURE IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN CREATED. COLOSSIANS 1:15 WHO IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE. CHRISTIANS BRETHREN, JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, IS THE ONLY GOD EVER FORMED, OR EVER SHALL BE FORMED. ISAIAH WAS INSPIRED OF GOD TO RECORD THESE WORDS ABOUT JESUS, THE KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. ISAIAH 43:10 YE ARE MY WITNESSES, AND MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN; THAT YE MAY KNOW AND BELIEVE ME, AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM HE ; BEFORE ME THERE WAS NO GOD FORMED, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE AFTER ME. 11. I, EVEN I, AM THE LORD, AND BESIDE ME THERE IS NO SAVIOUR. BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, WE KNOW THAT JESUS SHAPED AND FORMED THE MAN, ADAM, OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND, AND WE KNOW THAT JESUS CREATED THE WOMAN, EVE, FROM ONE OF ADAM'S RIBS. BUT FROM WHAT SUBSTANCE DID GOD, THE FATHER SHAPE, AND FORM THE LORD JESUS CHRIST? IN THE BEGINNING BEFORE THE SUN, AND THE MOON WERE FORMED, GOD, THE FATHER OF JESUS, SPOKE, AND HE TOOK HIS WORD, AND SHAPED IT, AND FORMED IT IN SUCH A WAY, THE WORD OF GOD BECAME THE SON OF GOD. ST. JOHN 1:1 IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. HOLY CHILDREN, THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD WAS A MYSTERY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. THEREFORE, WHEN YOU READ THAT THE WORD OF GOD CAME TO SOMEONE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, OR THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO SOMEONE, THEN YOU KNOW THAT JESUS VISITED THAT PERSON. AS IN THIS VERSE OF SCRIPTURE. JONAH 1:1 NOW THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO JONAH THE SON OF AMITTAI SAYING, 2. ARISE GO TO NINEVEH, THAT GREAT CITY, AND CRY AGAINST IT, FOR THEIR WICKEDNESS IS COME UP BEFORE ME. BELOVED, GOD THE FATHER CREATED THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, CREATED HIM EQUAL TO HIMSELF. AND IT WAS BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST THAT GOD, THE FATHER, CREATED ALL THINGS. GOD INSPIRED THE APOSTLE PAUL TO RECORD THIS SCRIPTURE CONCERNING THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. EPHESIANS 3:9 AND TO MAKE ALL MEN SEE WHAT IS THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY, WHICH FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD HATH BEEN HID IN GOD, WHO CREATED ALL THINGS BY JESUS CHRIST: SAINTS OF GOD TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA OF THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST, THE ALMIGHTY GOD ; HE CREATED THE SUN, AND THE MOON, AND THE STARS, AND PLACED THEM IN SPACE IN ONE DAY. IT WAS THIS SAME JESUS THAT TOOK UPON HIM THE SINS OF THE WORLD, AND HIS SOUL WENT INTO HELL BUT DID NOT REMIND THERE. THE APOSTLE PETER SAID THERE WORDS. Acts:2:25: For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Acts:2:26: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Acts:2:27: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Acts:2:31: He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, CREATED ADAM, AND PLACED WITHIN HIM ALL MANKIND, IN ONE DAY. WHEN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST CREATED MAN HE CREATED HIM A TRINITY IN UNITY. MAN HAD A LIVING BODY, A LIVING SOUL, AND A LIVING SPIRIT. GENESIS 2:7 AND THE LORD GOD FORMED MAN OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND, AND BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; AND MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL. BELOVED OF GOD, THE OUTWARD MAN OF FLESH, AND BLOOD SHALL PERISH. IT IS THE INWARD MAN, THE SOUL, THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY. FOR GOD RENEWS THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL DAY, BY DAY. 11 CORINTHIANS 4:16 FOR WHICH CAUSE WE FAINT NOT; BUT THOUGH OUR OUTWARD MAN PERISH, YET THE INWARD MAN IS RENEWED DAY BY DAY. CHILDREN OF LIGHT, THE MOST PRECIOUS POSSESSION THAT A MAN POSSESSES IN THIS WORLD IS NOT HIS FAMILY, HIS HOME, HIS PERSONAL PROPERTY, NOR HIS REAL PROPERTY. THE MOST PRECIOUS POSSESSION IS HIS SOUL. THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS PRESENT WORLD WORTH LOSING YOUR SOUL TO OBTAIN. THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT, OMNISCIENT GOD SAID THESE WORDS. ST MATTHEW 16:26 FOR WHAT IS A MAN PROFITED, IF HE SHALL GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, AND LOSE HIS OWN SOUL? OR WHAT SHALL A MAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS SOUL? CHRISTIAN BRETHREN, AS I WAS SAYING MAN IS A TRINITY IN UNITY, HE HAS A LIVING BODY OF FLESH AND BLOOD, AND A LIVING SOUL AND A LIVING SPIRIT. WHEN THE SPIRIT LEAVES THE BODY, THE BODY DIES. JAMES 2:26 FOR AS THE BODY WITHOUT THE SPIRIT IS DEAD, SO FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO. BELOVED OF GOD, IF AFTER A MAN HAS RECEIVED THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, HE COMMITS THE SIN OF ADULTERY, THE PHYSICAL MAN OF FLESH, AND BLOOD WILL GET UP AND WALK AWAY, BUT THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL SHALL BE DESTROYED, ANNIHILATED. PROVERBS 6:32 BUT WHOSO COMMITTETH ADULTERY WITH A WOMAN LACKETH UNDERSTANDING, HE THAT DOETH IT DESTROYETH HIS OWN SOUL. SAINTS OF GOD, WHEN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BREATHED INTO THE NOSTRILS OF ADAM, HE BECAME A LIVING SOUL. HE WAS WHOLE, OR HOLY, HE HAD A LIVING BODY, AND LIVING SOUL, AND A LIVING SPIRIT. BUT WHEN ADAM TRANSGRESSED THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, AND SIN CAME INTO THE WORLD, AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD DEPARTED FROM ADAM, AND THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL OF ADAM DIED. AND SINCE ALL MANKIND WAS IN ADAM, BECAUSE OF OUR PHYSICAL UNION WITH ADAM SIN WAS IMPUTED TO ALL MANKIND, AND WE ALL DIED THE SPIRITUAL DEATH. NOW WHEN A CHILD IS BORN INTO THE WORLD, HE IS ALIVE PHYSICALLY, BUT DEAD SPIRITUALLY, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL MUST BE BROUGHT TO LIFE. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:22 FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE. LISTEN CAREFULLY SAINTS OF GOD, BEFORE CHRIST JESUS CAME INTO THIS CRUEL WORLD, AND OFFERED HIMSELF ON CALVARY'S CROSS, AS A LIVING SACRIFICE TO THE MOST HIGH GOD; TO MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR OUR SINS. WE, AS GENTILES, FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, WERE WITHOUT HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE. CHRIST JESUS HAS PAID THE SUPREME PRICE, THAT WE, AS CHILDREN OF GOD, MIGHT BE RECONCILED UNTO ALMIGHTY GOD. AFTER HIS DEATH, BURIAL, AND GLORIOUS RESURRECTION, CHRIST CAME TO HIS DISCIPLES, AND BREATHED ON THEM, AND SAID RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST. THIS WAS IN MY OPINION, THE MOST WONDERFUL HAPPENING FOR MAN; SINCE HIS CREATION. THE RECONCILIATION OF GOD, AND MAN. ST. JOHN 20:19 THEN THE SAME DAY AT EVENING, BEING THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, WHEN THE DOORS WERE SHUT WHERE THE DISCIPLES WERE ASSEMBLED FOR FEAR OF THE JEWS, CAME JESUS AND STOOD IN THE MIDST, AND SAITH UNTO THEM, PEACE BE UNTO YOU. 20. AND WHEN HE HAD SO SAID, HE SHEWED UNTO THEM HIS HANDS AND HIS SIDE, THEN WERE THE DISCIPLES GLAD, WHEN THEY SAW THE LORD. 21. THEN SAID JESUS TO THEM AGAIN, PEACE BE UNTO YOU; AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. 22. AND WHEN HE HAD SAID THIS, HE BREATHED ON THEM, AND SAITH UNTO THEM, RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST; 23. WHOSE SOEVER SINS YE REMIT, THEY ARE REMITTED UNTO THEM, AND WHOSE SOEVER SINS YE RETAIN, THEY ARE RETAINED. HOLY CHILDREN, WHEN JESUS CHRIST, THE LAMB OF GOD, BREATHED ON HIS DISCIPLES, AND SAID RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST, THE INWARD MAN, THE SOUL, THE SOULS OF THESE DISCIPLES, CAME TO LIFE. THAT WHICH IS BORN OF FLESH, IS FLESH, AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF THE WATER, BAPTIZED, AND BORN OF THE SPIRIT, RECEIVING THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, HE CANNOT, LET ME REPEAT, HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. ST. JOHN 3:1 THERE WAS A MAN OF THE PHARISEES, NAMED NICODEMUS, A RULER OF THE JEWS; 2. THE SAME CAME TO JESUS BY NIGHT, AND SAID UNTO HIM, RABBI, WE KNOW THAT THOU ART A TEACHER COME FROM GOD; FOR NO MAN CAN DO THESE MIRACLES THAT THOU DOEST, EXCEPT GOD BE WITH HIM. 3. JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 4. NICODEMUS SAITH UNTO HIM, HOW CAN A MAN BE BORN WHEN HE IS OLD? CAN HE ENTER THE SECOND TIME INTO HIS MOTHER'S WOMB, AND BE BORN? 5. JESUS ANSWERED, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 6. THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH, AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. 7. MARVEL NOT THAT I SAID UNTO THEE, YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN. SAINTS OF GOD, WHEN CHRIST BREATHED ON HIS DISCIPLES, AND SAID RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST, POWER CAME. THE POWER TO PREACH, OR TEACH, OR WITNESS, AND THE POWER TO LIVE A SIN FREE LIFE. WE , THE CHILDREN OF GOD, THAT HAVE RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST HAVE THE POWER TO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, BECAUSE GOD'S SEED IS WITHIN US. 1 JOHN 3:1 BEHOLD WHAT MANNER OF LOVE THE FATHER HATH BESTOWED UPON US THAT WE SHOULD BE CALLED THE SONS OF GOD; THEREFORE THE WORLD KNOWETH US NOT, BECAUSE IT KNEW HIM NOT. 2. BELOVED NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD, AND IT DOTH NOT YET APPEAR WHAT WE SHALL BE; BUT WE KNOW THAT, WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS. 3. AND EVERY MAN THAT HATH THIS HOPE IN HIM PURIFIETH HIMSELF, EVEN AS HE IS PURE. 4. WHOSOEVER COMMITTETH SIN TRANSGRESSETH ALSO THE LAW; FOR SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW. 5. AND YE KNOW THAT HE WAS MANIFESTED TO TAKE AWAY OUR SINS; AND IN HIM IS NO SIN. 6. WHOSOEVER ABIDETH IN HIM SINNETH NOT ; WHOSOEVER SINNETH HATH NOT SEEN HIM, NEITHER KNOWN HIM. 7. LITTLE CHILDREN, LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU; HE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS. 8. HE THAT COMMITTETH SIN IS OF THE DEVIL, FOR THE DEVIL SINNETH FROM THE BEGINNING. FOR THIS PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFESTED, THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. 9. WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH IN HIM; AND HE CANNOT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD. 10. IN THIS THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE MANIFEST, AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL; WHOSOEVER DOETH NOT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, NEITHER HE THAT LOVETH NOT HIS BROTHER. BELOVED OF GOD, COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE, THE CARNAL MIND OF SENSE, AND REASON WITHOUT THE HOLY GHOST, IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF GOD, NEITHER INDEED CAN BE. ROMANS 8:6 FOR TO BE CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH; BUT TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE. 7. BECAUSE THE CARNAL MIND IS ENMITY AGAINST GOD; FOR IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAW OF GOD, NEITHER INDEED CAN BE. 8. SO THEN THEY THAT ARE IN THE FLESH CANNOT PLEASE GOD. 9. BUT YE ARE NOT IN THE FLESH, BUT IN THE SPIRIT, IF SO BE THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELL IN YOU, NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS. BUT, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL DELIGHTS IN THE LAWS OF GOD. ROMANS 7:22 FOR I DELIGHT IN THE LAW OF GOD AFTER THE INWARD MAN. LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY MEN CURSE AND SAY ALL SORTS OF UGLY THINGS? WHEN MEN CURSE, AND SAY ALL MANNER OF UGLY THINGS, THEY ARE GIVING A TESTIMONY THAT THEY ARE CHILDREN OF SATAN. HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY SATAN'S CHILDREN ARE NOT AFRAID TO BLASPHEME? SATAN'S CHILDREN ARE FAITHLESS, THEY ARE NOT AFRAID TO SAY ALL MANNER OF EVIL THINGS, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SEE JUDGMENT DAY, NEITHER THE LAKE OF FIRE, THEREFORE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY EXIST. FAITHLESS PEOPLE CANNOT RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SEE HIM; FOR THE HOLY GHOST MUST BE RECEIVED BY FAITH. IN THESE VERSES CHRIST IS SPEAKING, ST. JOHN 14:14 IF YE SHALL ASK ANY THING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT. 15. IF YE LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. 16. AND I WILL PRAY THE FATHER, AND HE SHALL GIVE YOU ANOTHER COMFORTER, THAT HE MAY ABIDE WITH YOU FOR EVER. 17. EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, BECAUSE IT SEETH HIM NOT, NEITHER KNOWETH HIM; BUT YE KNOW HIM, FOR HE DWELLETH WITH YOU, AND SHALL BE IN YOU. SAINTS OF GOD, THE SOUL CAN LOVE, FOR WE ARE COMMANDED TO LOVE GOD WITH ALL OUR HEART, MIND, AND SOUL. WE KNOW THE SOUL OF MAN CAN SPEAK BECAUSE OF THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE. Rv:6:9: And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: Rv:6:10: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
