Almost 300 Postings Follow 'A Portion Of My Testimony'!

Back in '91 i had been in "search of the church(aka: Ecclesia, which i now testify -IS - "The Family of Our FATHER and ELOHIM"!)" for almost 5 years. And i had crisscrossed this place on earth they call the u.s.a. from Vermont to California, Washington to Florida, and North Dakota to Texas(Was in all original 48 states, except Maine)!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/07/family-of-faith-or-system-of-religion.html

During that time i knew in my heart that "Our FATHER(CREATOR) and ELOHIM
(SPIRIT{'God' IS of pagan greek mythology!})" wanted me to give up my vocation(Self-employed computer consultant, systems analyst!), yet i didn't know what i could do, or would do, if i did quit. (John 20:17, Proverbs 3:5-6)

However, the experiences while on that journey, as i searchcd for the 'church', revealed much of that which -IS- of The TRUTH! And simplicity became a beacon for me! i had left most of my possessions(Which actually possessed me!) behind when i began my search in earnest, and i could load all my "stuff" 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 ways of this world!

 (John 7:7, I John 2:15-17; 5:19, James 4:4, II Corinthians 6:17, Revelations 18:4)

TRUTH testifies, The Messiah was "The Light" of Genesis 1:3! Our FATHER & ELOHIM spoke HIS Word & HIS 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):

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

And such IS in perfect harmony with Genesis 1:3, "ELOHIM(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

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 ELOHIM, for that which IS of HIS SPIRIT needs be Spiritually discerned"! And "The Word of TRUTH(Not that which those of this world and/or religion's way call their "bible"!)" IS of HIS SPIRIT! (I Corinthians 2:14, James 1:18)

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

TRUTH IS! Our FATHER and ELOHIM 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

"Rulers are not a terror to good works!?! But to the evil"?!? (Romans 13:3)

TRUTH IS!  Romans 13:3 DOES NOT bear witness unto worldly rulers in these last days

For TRUTH IS! In these last days, "The WHOLE world IS under the control of 'D'evil one"!(Yet Thankfully The Family of Our FATHER and ELOHIM IS !NOW!, for "The Born Again" brethren(naturally male or 'fe'male) of The Messiah! For He DID "Come Again" and "Quickly" when old jerusalem was destroyed! And The Messiah then delivered up The Kingdom unto Our FATHER and ELOHIM!)! (John 7:7, I John 2:15-17; 5:19, James 4:4)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/06/thy-kingdom-has-come-luke-1721.html?m=0

Thankfully "Tribulation Begets Patience"! (Romans 5:3)

Life seems so easy when you're up on the mountain,
And you have peace of mind like you've never known.

But then things change, and you're down in the valley,
Just keep The Faith for you're never alone!

For The GOD of the mountain, - IS - still GOD in the valley,
The GOD of the day, - IS - still GOD in the night!

The GOD of the good times, - IS - still GOD in the bad times,
When things(Seem to!) go wrong, HE can make them right!
And Thankfully, "Tribulation begets Patience, and Patience begets Experience, and Experience begets Hope"! (Romans 5:3b-4)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2010/10/hope-of-heaven-for-hope-which-is-laid.html

Souls in and of 'D'evil's world and/or religion's way abide in The LIE! (Genesis 3:4, John 7:7; 12:25, James 1:27; 4:4)

For TRUTH - IS - !  "The WHOLE world(Not just a portion!) - IS - under the control of 'D'evil one", and there - IS - Only One "Pure Religion And Undefiled(The Active Faith revealed in James 1:27)"! (I John 5:19; 2:15-17, James 1:27; 4:4)

Someone had questioned, "As for Eve, may i ask you, do you see Eve eating the fruit, or is it an analogy for her doing something more?"

And i responded:

No more was needful. For Eve was the first to sin and The 2nd CREATION Account bore witness of IN Genesis 2:4-24 revealed her sin. And her sin revealed the root(s) of all sin!

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

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2019/01/thoughts-philosophy-and-religion-cause.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

'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)

"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)
 http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2020/04/i-realized-miraculous-born-again.html#more

!.......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/2009/05/i-must-die.html
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)

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

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/religion-was-and-is-yet-needful-for.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"!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2012/03/atheists-so-called-are-some-of-most.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html

"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! (I John 5:4, Galatians 2:20, James 1:27, I Corinthians 15:54-55, Mark 8:34, John 11:26)

"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"! 

"There are some standing here !NOW! who will not taste of death!" (Mark 9:1)

The Messiah testified, "There are some standing here !NOW! who WILL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, until they(Those souls The Messiah was speaking to!) have seen The Kingdom Of Our FATHER And ELOHIM('God' IS of pagan greek mythology!) Come with Power!" (Mark 9:1, Matthew 16:28, Luke 9:27) 

AND SO IT WAS! .......When old jerusalem was destroyed.......

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/07/there-are-some-standing-here-now-who.html

And such - IS - revealed in the testimony that follows:


TRUTH IS! After The Messiah was crucified, and "Our FATHER and ELOHIM raised Him from among the dead", The Messiah ascended into Heaven! And "Our FATHER and ELOHIM gave The Messiah rule and authority over everything in HIS Kingdom! The only exception being HIMSELF(Our FATHER and ELOHIM)!" (John 20:17, Ephesians 4:9-10, I Corinthians 15:15,24-28)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/our-father-and-god-john-2017.html

Questions? Concerning YAHshua The Messiah(The Anointed One)! (John 1:41)

John 1:41 rightly translated into english from the original greek manuscripts(Not the bastardized pagan latin catholic translation of such into english!) would be, "He first found his own brother Simon, and said unto him, "We have found The Messiah(Which being interpreted - IS - The Anointed One)"!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-messias-which-being-interpreted-is.html

Sadly, pagan catholicism and her harlot christian daughters have given their "imag"ined version of a "Messiah" a pagan latin name 'jesus' and a pagan greek title "christ"! Yet such - IS - an apt name and title for their version of an "anointed one" who - IS - their "god"; or one head of their "imag"ined three-headed pagan god(s); or but an angel or prophet"!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/08/who-is-this-pagan-catholic-and.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/religions-way-is-anti-messiah.html

Simply TRUTH IS! "YAHshua(ELOHIM with us IN!) The Messiah" - IS - The Only Begotten Son of Our FATHER and ELOHIM('God' IS of pagan greek mythology!)", and The Messiah was given the same Hebrew birth name as Joshua of the old covenant(Yet when He was immersed in, of, by and thru The Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT that - IS - Our FATHER and ELOHIM He was then YAHshua{ELOHIM, HE WHO - IS - SPIRIT, with us - IN - The Messiah})(Matthew 1:23, I Corinthians 5:19, John 3:16-21, Mark 1:9-13)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/08/name-of-messiah.html

HalleluYAH!

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

And the questions? 

May 31, 2021

Surrender, Dependence and Faith! "The Way to The Truth of The Life "! (John 14:6)

Yes! For The CREATOR(Our FATHER and ELOHIM!), HE knows what IS best for HIS Creation! And The Messiah, The First Born of Creation, revealed The Way < TO > The Truth < OF > The Life in both His Life Example and The Teachings He received from Our FATHER and ELOHIM!
(John 20:17, Ephesians 3:9, Genesis 1:3-4)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/our-father-and-god-john-2017.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-declaration-of-dependence.html

HalleluYAH!

However, "The Preaching of The Cross IS Foolishness Unto Those Who Will Perish"! (I Corinthians 1:18)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/01/have-you-been-double-crossed.html

TRUTH IS! The "I(ego,id,self,pride)" that IS in each and every human needs be "nailed to the cross" for their soul to be saved! (Matthew 16:24, Luke 14:33)  http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-must-die.html

And the brethren(naturally male or 'fe'male) of the Messiah are exhorted to; "Be not like those whose god IS their belly, and whose glory IS in their shame, because they mind earthly things."(Philippians 3:19)

"Set your affections on things above", Heavenly things....... (Colossians 3:1-3)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2012/10/set-your-affection-on-things-above.html 

"The Messiah learned obedience by the things which He suffered"? (Hebrews 5:8)

"Get understanding!" (Proverbs 4:5-7; 16:16)

The Messiah "learned obedience"? (Hebrews 5:8)

Yes, a soul could say that "The Messiah learned obedience", because as a child The Messiah subjected Himself unto His natural parents. (Luke 2:43-51)

However, why would The Messiah need to "learn obedience"?

Was He not obedient?


"ALL things work together for The GOOD"! (Romans 8:28)

"ALL things work together for The GOOD(Not that all things are good, or seem to be good at the time!) for those who love Our FATHER and GOD, those souls who are the called according to HIS purpose"! For "HE works in HIS children both The Will and The Doing of HIS GOOD Pleasure"! (Romans 8:28, Philippians 2:13, I John 3:2)  
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/07/father-not-my-will-but-thy-will-be-done.html

And HIS GOOD Pleasure would be that "all men would be saved and come to the knowledge of The TRUTH" so they might see "The Light" that IS The Messiah! Yet worldly and/or religious souls "love the darkness rather than The Light because their deeds are evil"! And they "love this evil world and their own life in and of it", for they have never received "a love of The TRUTH so that they might be saved" from their own self("I", ego, id, pride)life! (I Timothy 2:4, John 3:19-21; 7:7; 12:25, James 4:4, II Thessalonians 2:10-13)
