Your Hope! That Which - IS - Eternal or temporal?

The Only True Hope - IS - in, and of that which - IS - SPIRIT and TRUTH! (John 4:24)

For hope that - IS - but a temporal imitation - IS - in and of a soul's earthly, natural, fleshly desires, and/or circumstances. 

Thankfully A True, Living, Lively Hope - IS - of The SPIRIT and - IS - REALity(That which a soul has seen{Experienced!} and/or heard {Received})! (I Peter 1:3, Colossians 1:5, I John 1:3)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/thinker-or-receiver.html

Not a thought; or a dream; or a shadow; or of one's own vain "imag"inations! (Romans 1:21, II Corinthians 10:5)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/03/sadly-imagination-and-interesting-walk.html

Thoughts, philosophy and religion cause the multitudes to follow that "broad way to destruction"! (Matthew 7:13)

The following was posted in response to a comment that simply stated, "Good thoughts!"
-------
i appreciate the encouragement yet it needs be REALized that "thoughts", and/or "philosophy", and/or "religion(Except The Active Faith revealed in James 1:27!)" walk hand in hand along that "broad way to destruction"! (Matthew 7:13)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/07/simply-progress-so-called-is-destroying.html

"Behold I(ego, id, self, pride) thought", has led the multitudes astray....... (II Kings 5:11; 5:1-14)

TRUTH IS! A soul needs "receive a love of The TRUTH to be saved" from their own thought filled self("l", ego, id, pride)life, and then Hopefully "Born Again" of The Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT that - IS - Our FATHER and ELOHIM('God' IS of pagan greek mythology)! (II Thessalonians 2:10-13, I Peter 1:23, John 3:3,7)

'Faith' that - IS - built upon sinking sand...... ..... .... ... .. .

(Matthew 7:21-27) The Messiah testified, "Not everyone who says unto me ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but the soul who - DOES - The Will of My FATHER WHO - IS - in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, and in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works'? Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity'!

Yet everyone who hears these words of Mine and DOES THEM, I will liken him unto a wise man who built his house on a rock. And the rain came down, the floods came and the winds blew, and beat on that house. And it didn’t fall, for it was grounded on The Rock!

Yet everyone who hears these words of Mine and DOESN'T DO THEM, will be liken unto a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house. And great was the fall of it!” (Matthew 7:21-27)

The ways of 'D'evil's world and its religions are not for the brethren of The Messiah!

The brethren(naturally male or 'fe'male) of The Messiah do not follow the ways of 'D'evil's world and/or religion(Except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27!) in these last days, for we but seek and desire to follow The Messiah on that "Narrow Way" that - IS - "The Way(TO), The TRUTH(OF) The Life"! (John 7:7, James 4:4; 1:27, Matthew 7:14, John 14:6)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/love-not-world.html

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2008/10/pure-and-undefiled-religion.html

And as The Messiah prophesied, - SO IT WAS - that He DID "Come Again", and "QUICKLY in the clouds", during that time when "the end of the old covenant age" - WAS - ! (Revelations 3:11, Hebrews 8:13)
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 that which was "decaying and waxing old" - DID - "vanish away" with the destruction of the natural, earthly, temporal temple realm centered in old jerusalem! Such was the end of the judaic system which consisted of laws, rites, natural temporal things and all else that had it's portion, and yet has it's portion in religion's way....... (Hebrews 8:13, Mark 9:1, Matthew 24:3, I Thessalonians 4:17-18, James 4:7-8, Jeremiah 31:31-34)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/religion-was-and-is-yet-needful-for.html

"Born Again" And Awaiting That Final Transformation!

Thankfully soon, and very soon a "Born Again" soul - IS - Set Free! Free indeed from their earthly, natural, fleshly, temporal temple(Body)!  (John 8: 32, II Peter 1:13-14, II Corinthians 5:1; 6:16, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:19)

!.......FOREVER.......!

HalleluYAH!

Yet for all of humankind this natural life begins in the "egg" of a wo(mb)man(the field), fertilized by the seed that came from a man(ie: Except The Messiah who was Begotten of The Seed of Our FATHER and ELOHIM, and so it was He was born in "the likeness of sinful flesh")! (Luke 1:26-38, Romans 8:3) 

Yet Our FATHER and ELOHIM('God' IS of pagan greek mythology!), HE provides the breath(Spirit/air) and nourishment within the body of a wo(mb)man which sustains both her life, and the life within her womb! Life that began when the seed of a man fertilized the egg in her womb!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/our-father-and-god-john-2017.html

Then Thankfully, Our FATHER and ELOHIM also provides that which IS needful(Spirit/air/soul) for a child to be born naturally!  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/grow-in-grace-and-in-knowledge-of-our.html

And Hope IS that one day that natural child will be "Born Again" Spiritually as well!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2020/04/i-realized-miraculous-born-again.html#more

Yet what IS IT that nourishes the "Born Again" of The Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT child within a souls natural body? This temporal "temple" that IS liken unto a "womb" in which a "Born Again of The SPIRIT" child IS nourished and "grows in Grace"! (John 3:3,7, I Peter 1:23, I Corinthians 6:19, II Peter 3:18)

A Reply to one called "Two Oaks" concerning The TRUTH!

Two Oaks, as i reviewed the thread it came to me to respond further to the comments you posted, one of which was "The time will come when the indigenous people will beat the white man at his own game".......

How can i be but sad for those indigenous people who believe they will "beat the white(Spirited!) man at his own game"!

And needs be i testify that i am a "white man" outwardly(Of the flesh!), yet not inwardly(Spirit)! And neither am i a wanna be "Indian(Indigenous soul!)" in any of the indian tribes i know of on earth in these last days! TRUTH IS! - It IS - The Spirit that - IS - within the heart of a man that - IS - the man, not his outward appearance! And The Faithful - ARE - Family(Tribe!), in deed, SPIRIT and TRUTH!

Carnal warfare IS RELIGION'S WAY! Which IS politics! Which IS money! Which IS?

"A ROOT OF EVIL", not "the root of all evil(As translated in the kjv bible)"!  (I Timothy 6:10) 

Yes, "the love of money, IS a root of evil", yet TRUTH IS! "The lust of the eyes(The fruit was pleasing to Eve's eyes!), the lust of the flesh(Eve thought the fruit of tree was good for food!), and the pride("I", ego, id, self)of life(Eve thought the fruit of the tree would make her wise!)" are the roots of all evil......." (I Timothy 6:10, Genesis 3:1-7, I John 2:15-17)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-foundation-and-beginning-of-world.html

Yet excessive amounts of money are sought by those souls who are bound in the chains of "strong delusion" that are fabricated by those lost souls who are of 'D'evil's world and/or religion's way(Except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27)! Those greedy, covetous, lust-filled lovers of the things that are of Devil's world, or those who "love their own life in and of this evil world" and/or religion's way in these last days....... (II Thessalonians 2:10:13, John 7:7; 12:25, I John 2:15-17; 5:19, James 1:27; 4:4)

What - IS - "sin"?

For all the natural born jews "sin was a transgression of the law"! And such was also for the "Born Again" of The Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT Jews(Peter, Paul, John,.etc.); and for all jews prior to the destruction of the earthly, natural temporal temple realm centered in old jerusalem....... (John 3:3,7, I Peter 1:23, I John 3:4)

Yet Thankfully "the letter of the judaic law" and all that which was "decaying and waxing old" - DID - "vanish away" with the destruction of the natural, earthly, temporal temple realm centered in old jerusalem! And - IT WAS THEN - that The Messiah DID "Come Again(In the clouds!)"! And "QUICKLY", just as He prophesied! And "The Body of The Messiah" was taken up to their Heavenly Abode! (Hebrews 8:13, Revelations 3:11, 22:7,12,20)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-come-quickly.html

And The NEW Covenant - WAS - And - IS - for "The Born Again" children of Our FATHER and ELOHIM{'God' IS of pagan greek mythology!)"!

HalleluYAH! 

John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress".......

i find it quite revealing that most all of the religions(Cults!) which declare that they are "catholic" and/or "christian" appreciate John Bunyan's literary work called "Pilgrim's Progress".
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/someone-accused-me-of-being-member-of.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/religion-was-and-is-yet-needful-for.html

However when - IT IS -mentioned that 'the first step christian took' when he began his "Faith Walk", was to leave his natural family behind because they would not take heed unto his words(Which were of "The Word of TRUTH{aka: bible}") and "walk the walk"? (Mark 10:28-30, II Corinthians 5:7,  II Thessalonians 2:10-13,  James 1:18, I John 2:6)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/07/thankfully-faith-wins-victory-i-john-54.html

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/all-so-called-biblical-translations-are.html

Well, all of a sudden religious souls question?  Then ridicule!  Sadly such begets denial of The TRUTH(The 'head' of a family - IS -the husband!), as other works of the flesh and fleshly mindedness manifest themselves....... (Galatians 5:16 -17, II Corinthians 1:12)

And sadly, today the prophetic words of Isaiah 3:12 !RESOUND! midst the perverseness and destruction that - IS - of 'D'evil's world and/or religion's way(Except it be The Active Faith revealed in James 1:27!) in these last days!  (John 7:7, I John 2:15-17; 5:19, James 1:27; 4:4)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/love-not-world.html

"Stop visiting sacred name cult websites"!

Someone exhorted me to, "Stop visiting sacred name cult websites, for there's no such name as Yahshua in the Hebrew language"!

And i responded:

Didn't say there was, yet such - IS - a right and proper english version of The Messiah's ELOHIM('God' IS of pagan greek mythology!) given Hebrew birth name! For both Yahshua(Joshua in today's english language!) of the old covenant and The Messiah were given the same Hebrew birth name!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/08/name-of-messiah.html

And proof of such will be manifest later in this testimony and @ 
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-name-and-title-of-anointed-one-son.html

And i have no desire to visit "sacred name websites", except for using that which they have published to expose them for what they Truly are! For ALL religions(Except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27!) - ARE - "cults"!  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-multiple-choice-of-pagan-catholic-and.html

And Yes! Atheism - IS -  a religious "cult" as well, for atheists see their version of a 'god("I",ego,id,self,pride)' each and every time they view their reflected "image"!

"Religion" has its portion in and of this Devil's world"! Yet Thankfully Faith Wins The Victory Over 'D'evil, This World, And Death! HalleluYAH! !.......FOREVER.......!

Someone had written, "How are we ever going to improve things with the culture and lifestyles we are so entrenched in?"

And i responded(With further testimony added):

Why - IS IT - that so many questions are asked? And concerns shared? When the questions were answered and the concerns addressed some two thousand years ago!

Question - IS -,  "why - IS IT - that few souls, few indeed, take heed and listen"? (Jeremiah 5:21, Romans 11:8)

"FATHER, not My will, But THY Will Be Done"!

The focus, the focal point of pagan "catholicism", and the more than 30,000(According to statistical data!) systems of religion that declare themselves to be "christian" - IS - their version of a messiah which they call their "christ"!  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-messias-which-being-interpreted-is.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-name-and-title-of-anointed-one-son.html

Yet it seems the focus, the focal point and the desire of those who seek to follow The Messiah on that "Narrow Way", that - IS - "The Way(TO), The TRUTH(OF) The Life"! It seems their focal point and desire should be the same as The Messiah's focal point and desire! (Matthew 7:14, John 14:6)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-center-focal-point-of-catholicism.html

And The Messiah's focal point and desire? 

Self ("I", ego, id, pride) Denial Begets Faith, And Thankfully TRUTH - IS - Faith Wins The Victory Over Sin, 'D'evil and Death!

Someone had testified, "Self-confidence is the key: do you have it"?

And i responded:

Rather than "self-confidence", self("I", ego, id, pride)denial begets Faith, and Faith evermore begets self-denial! (Luke 9:23)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/06/life-or-death-easy-choice-however-to.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html

And Thankfully Faith Wins The Victory over sin, self, religion(James 1:27 reveals The Active Faith of The One and Only "Pure Religion and Undefiled"!), 'D'evil "god of this world", and ultimately death!

"Set Your Affection On Things Above!" (Colossians 3:2)

(Colossians 3:1-3) "If you then are risen with The Messiah, seek those things which are above, where The Messiah sits on the right hand of Our FATHER and ELOHIM!  
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/our-father-and-god-john-2017.html

Set your affection(#5426) on things above(#507), not things on the earth.......

For you("I",ego,id,self,pride) are dead, and your Life IS hid with The Messiah IN Our FATHER and 
ELOHIM('God' IS OF Pagan Greek Mythology)"! (Colossians 3:1-3)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/06/are-you-alien-and-pilgrim-while-on-earth.html

5426  phroneo (fron-eh'-o); to exercise the mind, i.e. entertain or have a sentiment or opinion; by implication, to be(mentally) disposed(More or less earnestly in a certain direction!) intensively, to interest oneself in(With concern or obedience); from 5424 phren; understanding.

507  ano (an'-o); adverb from 473; upward or on the top.

"Set your affections on {Heavenly} things above, not things on the earth"! 

"Heal me Oh ELOHIM! And i shall be healed! Save me! And i shall be saved!" (Jeremiah 17:14)

"Heal me, Oh ELOHIM('God' IS of pagan greek mythology), and I shall be healed......." (Jeremiah 17:14a, Psalms 6:2)

Thankfully i have experienced such, for there was a time when i was abiding in a mountain wilder-ness(No doctors and no medication!) area of Old Mexico(Copper Canyon), and amoebic dysentery had run it's course! i was so weak that i could no longer arise and stand on my feet, and it seemed as though this dis-ease would be the end of my earthly existence.......

Yet then i heard A Voice, which i believe was The Voice of Our FATHER and ELOHIM, clearly speak "Rise Up and Walk"! And i was instantly healed from the dis-ease which i thought was going to be the end of this natural, temporal life on earth. Yet i rose up from that bed of affliction Evermore Hopeful and Thankful!

HalleluYAH!       !.......FOREVER.......!
