"Let Patience Have Her Perfect Work"....... (James 1:4)

Someone had testified: “I have a terrible, sinful habit of always trying to troubleshoot and solve every problem in my head rather than trusting in the Lord.”

And i responded (with further testimony added):

Yes! “I(ego, id, self, pride)" is a problem, and IS enemy #1....... 
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html

So rather than trusting our physical, natural head(mind), we most certainly need to Trust in HIM WHO Created our "head"! HE WHO IS Our FATHER and GOD, and HEAD of ALL....... Messiah inclusive! 
(I Corinthians 11:3)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/08/as-messiah-so-also-his-brethren-testify.html

catholicism, christianity and covetousness, a trinity indeed!

Sadly, but another three headed trinitarian beast! And liken unto the pagan catholic and christian "imag"ined three headed pagan god, such is of "the father of lies" and WHOLLY UNholy! (John 8:44)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/08/one-and-only-true-g-d-fathercreator-of.html

Sadder yet, what was once called covetousness, was then called "greed", and then "materialism", and today those of this evil world and/or religion's way (except The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27) call covetousness "good management"! (John 7:7, I John 2:15-17; 5:19, James 4:4; 1:27)

TRUTH IS! "Behold, these are the ungodly, they prosper in the world, as they (seek to) evermore increase in riches"! (Psalms 73:12)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/behold-these-are-ungodly.html

Who are the real "savages"?

Those who are in, and of, that which has been called the "civilized" world once called those they believed to be "unlearned and ignorant" indigenous people, "savages"....... (Acts 4:13)

Yet TRUTH IS! The most dangerous “savage” is the one who 'savages' and wars against The SPIRIT that IS TRUTH, Light, Life, Love, Peace, Hope, Simplicity, Mercy, Faith, Grace,,,,,,, ALL that IS Truly GOOD!  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/02/spiritual-warfare.html

For that which IS Truly GOOD IS Only of The Holy(GREAT), Set Apart, SPIRIT that is of "Our FATHER and GOD! (John 20:17)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/11/all-that-is-truly-good-is-spirit-and.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/our-father-and-god-john-2017.html

And the most dangerous "savage" seeks to kill the spirit within man! They seek and desire to destroy any "GOD(CREATOR, FATHER, GREAT SPIRIT)" given consciousness, and then they seek to fill the void with a love for the self ("I", ego, id, pride) life; and/or a love for the things that are of this evil world; and/or a love for the lies that are of the "god of this world" and/or religion's way(except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27) in this day and age! (Luke 9:23, John 7:7, I John 2:15-17; 5:19, James 4:4, II Corinthians 4:4, John 8:44, James 1:27: 4:4)

The Foundation of the world that was, and the evil world that IS! (Genesis 3, I John 2:15-17)

The Foundation, the beginning of the world that was and the evil world that is, IS The LIE! 
(Genesis 3:1-8, John 7:7; 8:44)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/05/come-out-of-her-my-people.html

For "the serpent said to the wo-man, "You will not surely die"!" (Genesis 3:4)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2012/10/taking-bait-and-lies-are-swallowed-hook.html

"And when the wo-man SAW that the tree was good for FOOD (the lust of the flesh), and that it was PLEASING to the eyes (the lust of the eye), and a tree to be desired to MAKE ONE WISE (the pride of life), she took of the fruit thereof and ate, and she gave of the fruit to her husband with her, and he did eat." (Genesis 3:6, I John 2:15-17)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html

And such was the beginning of the world that was, a world that was ultimately destroyed by a "flood", wherein only eight souls and the animals on Noah's Ark were saved"!

The NEW Covenant and New Covenant Jew (brethren of The Messiah)! (Jeremiah 31:31-37)

(Jeremiah 31:31-37) "Behold, the days come, says YHVH, that I will make a NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: NOT ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT THAT I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS IN THE TIME THAT I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO BRING THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT FOR THEY BROKE THAT COVENANT, although I was an husband unto them, says YHVH!

But this shall be the NEW covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days(of the old covenant) says YHVH, "I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts (not in stone, but on the fleshly tables of their heart), and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be MY people"! ("Come Out of her, My people"! No longer have your portion in, or of this evil world and/or religion's way **except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27**) 
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/05/come-out-of-her-my-people.html

"church", "jesus", and other "buzzwords" of pagan catholicism and her harlot christian daughters!

"church" , rightly called "the assembly(ecclesia)",  "The Family of Our FATHER(CREATOR) and GOD(SPIRIT)", "A Household of Faith", or "The Body of The Messiah"! (Ephesians 3:15, Galatians 6:10, I Corinthians 12:27)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/07/family-of-faith-or-system-of-religion.html

Yet when the earthly, natural, temporal temple realm centered in old jerusalem was destroyed, "The Body of The Messiah" was taken up in the clouds to forever be with The Messiah and Our FATHER and GOD! (I Thessalonians 4:17)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/06/and-then-end-will-come-matthew-2414.html

For The Messiah DID "Come Again" and "QUICKLY" at "The End of the old covenant age", and He then delivered up The Kingdom unto Our FATHER and GOD when "death was destroyed (for His brethren yet on earth were taken up in the clouds to forever be with The Faithful, The Messiah and Our FATHER and GOD)", just as Paul had prophesied.......  (Revelations 3:11; 22:7,12,20,  I Corinthians 15:24-28, I Thessalonians 4:15-18)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-come-quickly.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-new-covenant-and-new-covenant-jew.html

Thankfully The Messiah testified,"Our FATHER and GOD IS The GOD of The Living, not the dead"! (Matthew 22:32)

And TRUTH IS! "Whoever lives and believes in The Messiah, Shall Never Die"! (John 11:26a)

"The Hopi Declaration of Peace"

It is in the power of the True Hopi People to
unify the minds and spirits of all true Peace
seeking peoples of the earth. (John 14:27)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/08/peace-on-earth-sadly-worldly-and.html

"Hopi" means "Peaceful People" And the truest
and greatest power is the strength of Peace
because Peace is The Will of The Great Spirit.
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-lamb-of-god-and-prince-of-peace.html

"On Earth Peace, Good Will Toward Men"?

"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly host praising GOD, and saying, "Glory to GOD in The Highest, and ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN!" (Luke 2:13-14)

Yet the worldly and/or religious souls rejected, and yet reject "The GOOD WILL" of Our FATHER and GOD! HE WHO "gave HIS Only Begotten Son" so that "the world thru Him might be saved"! For they crucified The Messiah, "The Prince of Peace"! And they evermore seek to pervert and deny that which is of "The Word of TRUTH"(which they call their "bible"), for such reveals The TRUTH that is revealed in both The Life example and The Teachings which The Messiah received from Our FATHER and GOD! (John 3:16-17, Isaiah 9:6, II Corinthians 6:7, James 1:18, John 5:19,30, 8:28-29, 20:17) **and it is needful to REALize that "everlasting father" should be translated as Father of Eternity(Eternal Life, The Firstborn from the dead) in Isaiah 9:6**   
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/04/for-god-so-loved-world-he-gave-his-only.html

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-messiah-testified-i-can-do-nothing.html

Yet Thankfully! "Our FATHER and GOD, HE raised The Messiah from among the dead", and then The Messiah "ascended into Heaven" where He took His rightful place at the right hand of "Our FATHER and GOD"! (Acts 13:30, Romans 4:24, Ephesians 4:10, Colossians 3:1, John 20:17)

A portion of my testimony follows.......

Back in '91 i had been in "search of the church"(aka: ecclesia, which i now testify IS "The Family of Our FATHER and GOD") for almost 5 years, and had crisscrossed this place on earth they call the u.s.a. from vermont to california, and washington to florida.
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/07/family-of-faith-or-system-of-religion.html

And during that time i knew in my heart that "Our FATHER(CREATOR) and GOD(SPIRIT)" wanted me to give up my vocation(self-employed computer consultant, systems analyst) but i didn't know what i would. or could do, if i did quit. (John 20:17, Proverbs 3:5-6)

However, the experiences while on that journey revealed much and simplicity became a beacon for me. i had left most possessions (which actually possessed me) behind when i began my search in earnest, and i could load all my possessions into the back of a '76 ford courier pickup w/shell.

Then finally, in November of '91 while in colorado, "i quit"!

It was then that i awoke from the "american dream" and said, "no more" to the
"american (worldly) way". (John 7:7, I John 2:15-17; 5:19, James 4:4, II Corinthians 6:17, Revelations 18:4)

Concerning "The New Testament", which IS but pagan "catholic canon"!

There are multitudes of worldly and/or religious souls who are unaware of The TRUTH that "The NEW Testament" was and remains but pagan "catholic canon"(that which was "approved by their pope" back in the 4th century)! And that "The NEW Testament" was that which pagan catholicism believed was needful to establish their religious ways, traditions, doctrines, folklore and other perverse renderings of what she, and other religions(aka: christianity) liken unto her, call their 'bible'....... 

Yet such would be rightly called "The Word of TRUTH" if the "Original Manuscripts" were translated without the bias and perversion inherent in each and every "biblical" translation! (James 1:18)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/10/the-truth-needs-be-sounded-midst.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/08/what-is-called-bible-is-but-bias-and.html

Sadly, those who consider "catholic canon(aka: bible)" to be inerrant(without contradictions) most certainly "wrest The Scriptures unto their own destruction"! (II Peter 3:16) **Two obvious contradictions are "How many times did the rooster crow"? (Matthew 26:34, Mark 14:30) And "Luke 9:50 and 11:23 are contradictory"!**

FATHER Help! and HE does.......

Someone had bore witness unto the suffering they were experiencing.

And i responded(with further testimony added):

"To this you have been called, because The Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that we should follow in His steps"! (I Peter 2:21, I John 2:6)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-messiah-learned-obedience-by-things.html

Yes! "The Messiah suffered for us in the flesh, so arm yourself also with the same mind, for they who have suffered in the flesh have ceased from sin, so that they no longer would live the rest of their time in the flesh serving the lusts of mankind, but doing The Will of Our FATHER and GOD"! (I Peter 4:1-2)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/06/suffering-long-even-as-our-father-and.html

Religion's way IS anti-messiah!

TRUTH IS! ALL religion (except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27) IS anti-messiah!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2008/10/pure-and-undefiled-religion.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/religion-was-and-is-yet-needful-for.html

Yet, because of pagan "catholicism", her harlot "christian" daughters, and their pharisaical religious ways, "The Way of TRUTH is evil spoken of"! (II Peter 2:1-3)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/08/catholicism-christianity-and.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/because-of-religions-way-way-of-truth.html

"Come out from among them and be separate"! (II Corinthians 6:17)

For their "imag"ined pagan latin 'jesus', and pagan greek "christ", is not The Messiah(The Anointed One)
"The Only Begotten Son of Our FATHER and GOD"! (John 3:16; 20:17)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/08/who-is-this-pagan-catholic-and.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/08/name-of-messiah.html

It was less than six hundred years ago that they named one head of their "imag"ined three-headed pagan god(s), "jesus", during the time of the so-called "reformation".......
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/11/christianity-is-anti-messiah.html

"i want more of GOD and less of religion and politics"!

Someone had commented,  "i want more of GOD and less of religion and politics"! For "religions, especially organized religions, are man-made and are highly POLITICIZED!"

And i responded (with further testimony added):

YES!  And Mahatma Gandhi also REALized such when he testified, "whoever believes that religion has nothing to do with politics does not know what religion is"! And he also testified, "GOD has no religion".......  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/07/earth-provides-enough-to-satisfy-every.html

Yet TRUTH IS! "Religion and government (politics) were and are yet needful, for "disobedient and gain-saying (contradicting and opposing GOD) people", those souls who are "stiff-necked and uncircumcised of heart and ears"! (Romans 10:21, Acts 7:51)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/religion-was-and-is-yet-needful-for.html

Needful for those worldly and/or religious souls who would rather have a man (Moses, Samuel, etc.) than Our FATHER and GOD speak to them, and those who would rather have a man(Saul, David, etc.) than Our FATHER and GOD rule over them! (Exodus 20:19, l Samuel 8:4-21, John 20:17; 14:28)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/religions-way-is-anti-messiah.html

Who is this pagan catholic and christian "jesus"?

DISCLAIMER: The following testimony is given for revelation, not condemnation of those individuals held captive by the "strong delusion" that is of this evil world and/or religion's way(except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27) in this day and age. Hope IS there would be those who would "see" and "hear", for all who in TRUTH "see" and "hear" will take heed unto The Call of The ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD(SPIRIT) and FATHER(CREATOR) of ALL! They will take heed unto HIS CALL and "Come Out of her, MY people"! Those who "see" and "hear" will "Come Out", and will no longer have their portion in and of this evil world(babylon) and/or religion's way(which was and is yet needful for disobedient and gainsaying souls)! For they will have "set their affections on Heavenly things" as they evermore seek and desire to have their portion !NOW! in and of "The Family of Our FATHER and GOD ON EARTH", not religion's way....... "A Household of Faith", not "church"! And those who have been Truly "Born Again" will "Come Out"! For the day will come when they will REALize that their "citizenship(Life) IS !NOW! in Heaven"! And so it is they will choose to remain but "aliens and pilgrims while on this earth" indeed and TRUTH! (II Thessalonians 2:10-13, John 7:7, James 1:27, John 17:3, Revelations 18:4, II Corinthians 6:17,  James 4:4, I John 2:15-17; 5:19, Romans 10:21, Colossians 3:1-2, Ephesians 3:15, Galatians 6:10, Ephesians 2:19, John 3:3,7, I Peter 1:23, Philippians 3:20, I Peter 2:11, Hebrews 11:13) http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/08/why-religion-was-and-is-yet-needful-for.html

So, "Who is this pagan catholic and christian(mormon, jw, pentecostal, baptist, anglican, etc..) "jesus"?

There is a man i respect above all others who have lived during my time on earth!

First it needs be that i testify, "i do not follow Mahatma Gandhi, yet i do respect him above all other men who have received the breath(Spirit, air) of life since i received my first breath(Spirit, air) in '43.
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/02/spiritual-oxygen.html

The source of such respect being the quotes attributed unto him, one of which was; "True religion is not a narrow dogma. It is not external observance. It is Faith in GOD and living in the presence of GOD. It means Faith in a future Life, in TRUTH and Ahimsa. There prevails today a sort of apathy towards these things of The Spirit"!

And he testified, "GOD has no religion"! And, "i have been a willing slave to this most exacting MASTER for more then half a century. HIS Voice has been increasingly audible as years have rolled by. HE has never forsaken me even in my darkest hour. HE has saved me often from myself and left me not a vestige of independence. The greater the surrender to HIM, the greater has been my Joy"!

YES!  Joy! REALized in "Surrender".......   Self("I",ego,id,pride)Denial and Dependence!

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-declaration-of-dependence.html

TRUTH testifies, "The Messiah was "The Light" of Genesis 1:3"! Our FATHER and GOD spoke HIS Word and The Word WAS!

Someone had questioned, "What has Genesis 1:3 got to do with christ jesus? Before you answer have you noticed Genesis 1:4"?

And i responded(with further testimony added):

Sadly, you but prove "The Word of TRUTH" that testifies, "The natural man can not understand nor comprehend that which IS of The SPIRIT that IS Our FATHER and GOD, for that which IS of HIS SPIRIT needs be Spiritually discerned"! For "The Word of TRUTH(aka: "the bible")" IS of HIS SPIRIT! 
(I Corinthians 2:14, James 1:18)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/08/natural-life-is-but-shadow-of-life.html

Most certainly i have noticed Genesis 1:4, "And GOD saw The Light(Spiritual Light! For natural light was not created until the 4th Day {Genesis 1:14-19}), that it was Good, and GOD divided The Light from the darkness!"

And such is in perfect harmony with Genesis 1:3, "GOD(HE WHO IS LIGHT {I John 1:5}) said, "Let There Be Light" and there was Light"!  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2010/06/let-there-be-light.html

TRUTH IS! Our FATHER and GOD spoke HIS Word("Let There Be Light") into being, and HIS Word WAS, IS and ALWAYS WILL BE!  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-messiah-beginning-of-creation-of.html

WHO IS The Messiah's FATHER and GOD?

HE WHO IS also The FATHER(CREATOR) and GOD(SPIRIT) of The Messiah's brethren! 

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-word-of-god-let-there-be-light.html

"The Messiah said unto her, "Touch Me not, for I am not yet ascended to My FATHER, but go to My brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto My FATHER, and your FATHER, unto My GOD and your GOD." (John 17:3)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/08/one-and-only-true-g-d-fathercreator-of.html

Thankfully "Our FATHER(CREATOR) and GOD(SPIRIT)" indeed and TRUTH! (John 20:17)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/our-father-and-god-john-2017.html

And "Our FATHER and GOD", HE has no father for "HE IS FATHER of ALL"! (John 20:17, Ephesians 4:6, I Corinthians 8:6)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/08/one-and-only-true-g-d-fathercreator-of.html

And HE has no god for HE IS "The Only TRUE GOD"! (John 17:3)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-messiah-servant-of-and-sent-by-only.html

​Thankfully TRUTH IS! So Victory IS assured....... (I Esdras 3:10-4:41)

For TRUTH IS The Strongest Thing in, yet not of, the world! (I Esdras 3:10-4:41)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/the-strongest-thing-in-world.html

Someone had commented, "Let us see who is living in their imaginations. Time will decide and the ultimate winner is truth."

And i responded(with further testimony added):

Your 'vision' is a bit distorted, more than likely because of your love for your own self("I",id, ego, pride)life; and/or your love for this evil world and/or it's things; and/or religion's way(For The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27 is the only "Pure Religion and Undefiled") in this day and age! (Luke 9:23-24, I John 2:15-17, James 1:27; 4:4)

FATHER Help! 

HE DID!       and HE does.......

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/11/my-prayer-father-help-and-he-does.html

For TRUTH IS! Faith HAS ALREADY WON The VICTORY over sin and death; this world and it's things; and religion's way in this day and age! (I John 5:4; 5:19, James 1:27, I Peter 1:17-21) http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/07/thankfully-faith-wins-victory-i-john-54.html

Translating I Timothy 3:16 in SPIRIT and TRUTH.......

Simply sad for all souls who can not 'see' "The Light" that is The Messiah, "the beginning of The Creation of Our FATHER and GOD"! (Genesis 1:3, John 1:9; 8:12, Revelations 3:14)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-word-of-god-let-there-be-light.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-1st-day-of-creation-genesis-11-5.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-messiah-beginning-of-creation-of.html

Sad for those souls who can not 'see' that as Paul testified, so it was that Our FATHER(CREATOR of ALL) and "GOD(HE WHO IS SPIRIT) was IN The Messiah(not that GOD was The Messiah) seeking to reconcile the world unto HIMself(GOD)"! (Ephesians 3:9, II Corinthians 5:19)

Sadly, pagan catholicism and her harlot trinitarian christian daughters render I Timothy 3:16 as; "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness (2150), God (3739) was manifest in the flesh, justified in The Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into Glory."

TRUTH IS! The proper rendering of I Timothy 3:16 IS, "And without controversy great is the mystery of  godliness (2150), which (3739) was manifest in the flesh, justified in The SPIRIT, seen of angels, preached unto the gentiles, believed on in the world, and received up into Glory!"
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/08/one-and-only-true-g-d-fathercreator-of.html

Progress? -OR- Progressive Destruction?

Why is it that which was once called "covetousness" was then called "greed", then "materialism", and today covetousness is called "good management"?
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/10/being-set-free-from-materialism-and.html

And why is that one hundred years ago most people had seven "needs" and maybe seventy wants, and today they have seventy "needs" and innumerable wants?
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/07/needs-and-wants.html

Many of those who are considered to be living in "poverty" in this day and age would have been declared "rich" in times past!

And sadly, the rich are never satisfied! For they but seek to maximize profit, even as they seek and desire to acquire evermore riches; caring for naught but gain no matter the consequences.......
(Ecclesiastes 5:10, Psalms 73:12)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/behold-these-are-ungodly.html
