t he Sp i r i t o f God
. We have not received the spirit of the world but the
Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given
us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in
words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.

for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand
them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes
judgments about all things, but

But we have the mind of Christ”
(1 Corinthians 2:6-16)
Hence, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him,
and I will raise him up at the last day” is perfectly true.
(John 6:44)
As a living
witness, this testimony is to the mercy of Jesus, and the will of the Father,
who are one! It is a living witness; the living word given as testimony of the
truth; once again inspired, then revealed. “These are the words of him
who
i s ho l y and t rue , who ho l ds t he ke y o f Dav i d
.
What he opens no one can
shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See I have
placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have
little strength, yet
you hav e kep t my wo rd and hav e no t den i ed my name
. I
will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claims to be Jews
though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at
your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. Since you have kept my
command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial
that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the
earth. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will
take your crown. Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of
my God. Never again will he leave it.
I wi l l wr i t e on h im t he name o f my
God
and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which is
coming down out of heaven from my God; and
I wi l l a l s o wr i t e on h im
my new name .
He, who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches”
(Revelation 7:7-13).
Mercy is extended from the Father to the son at
this time. The living word of God is sharper than a double-edged sword,
and a merciful solution is open, available and attainable to all who see and
hear!
