To be obedient all of the times to the Lord God in doing all of the commandments. If you are obedient to Him then He will direct your path to the vocation He has called you to. Unity of the Spirit in peace and using the various gifts God has given all of His children. Be lowly and meekly loving one another. You are worthy by Jesus Christ dying on the cross for the life of all believers. Separate yourself from Christians who don’t really follow all of the doctrines of God. Who give into the lusts of the flesh, flee fornication. My calling at least I think is to be a pastor in a Church or an Evangelist.

Fellow-citizens with the saints of the household of God. We are Holy because Jesus Christ killed the sins of the flesh by His death on the cross. We are saints because we belong to Christ, He bought us for a price.

Because the Father is the master and can do anything and everything, Jesus Christ even said one is your master even Christ. Because God is the One with the plan, He knows what He’s doing and how to get everything done that He wants to get done. Through prayer and the Holy Ghost. Because if we love God with all of our heart, all of are soul, and all of our all of our mind, then He can mold us into being what He wants us to be, we are His children. Since He loves us we should love one another and live peacefully with all people as much as we can.

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. That their eyes are not opened to know that He is the same God that resurrected Jesus Christ, and that He is unmatched. The greatest of His power to us-ward who believe, according to working of His mighty power. The resurrection of Jesus Christ and now Jesus sits on His right hand in heavenly places. And has put all things under Jesus Christ’s feet, and gave Him to be the head of all things to the Church.

I don’t count that as carelessness because as He explained to them that He must be about His Father’s business. God’s business is more important than any person’s, you have to put God as number one. They were at fault because Jesus Christ had more important things to do, even though his dad and mom were worried about Him. You can have an error in judgment that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve sinned while when you sin you are doing bad things contrary to God.

Even though He is the Son of God, He still went through childhood like any human has to. Growing in wisdom and stature or size. He had to be protected from Herod when He was a child in the gospel according to Saint Matthew. He wasn’t Baptized until He was about 30 years old by John the Baptist. Then came the temptation from the devil, and Jesus used the Word of God like the sharp weapon it is the truth against lies.

They were listening to the Holy Ghost and the Spirit led them to Christ. Simeon was led by the Spirit into the temple. Also it was revealed by the Holy Ghost that he would not see death until he saw the Lord’s Christ. We have busy lives and get to entangled in the cares of this world and aren’t quietly seeking God. We have to worry about working, families, friends, and trying to not to sin while trying to hear God. But rest assured, when God wants to get your attention He will find a way to speak to you. He brings a man to his knees trembling, confessing his sins and trying to reason with the Supreme Being.

Both Simeon and Anna were devout to God’s laws and doctrines. They spent a lot of time in the Temples of God worshipping and fasting waiting for the salvation of the Lord. They were God’s people, following His commandments and full of expectation of His salvation through Christ. A lot of time people pray but lack the faith to have the things they ask for to come to pass. God is capable of giving every prayer ever said to come true, but many times we don’t receive because God is saying I have something better for you. He see’s the whole picture and He loves when His children have faith. Anna saw being devoted to God to be her duty and to see the Christ child the one who would redeem Jerusalem and eventually the entire world.

A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of the God’s people Israel. Jerusalem was Israel’s capital and Jesus Christ was going to redeem the city. Jesus Christ was a light to lighten the Gentiles. Jesus was sent to save the world from sin, and by Him dying on the cross He redeemed the world from sin and from the devil. Jesus Christ offers the same salvation now as He did in His time on the earth, every knee will bow, every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God.

They were both devoted to God in all of His laws and doctrines. Examples to all people to wait on the salvation of the Lord. My life is important to God because I feel that He has plans for me, really He has plans for everyone who love Him. However I’ve been in the company of enemies, bloodthirsty Satanist’s but they never overpowered me, I’ve prevailed over all of my enemies because of my faith. I’m meant to work for God in some way, maybe by being a minister. I have to be encouraged by God and quietly listen to Him for I don’t want to miss His plans for me.

They did not fornicate and Joseph when he knew Mary was pregnant he kept the matter private. Jesus Christ was circumcised on the eighth day after His birth according to God’s laws. They were Holy people following God’s laws and Mary found favor from God to be the mother of the Son of God. They set an example for us to follow as Christians, be Holy.

The Lion because He has power and authority over all flesh. Also because He defeated Satan, by withstanding temptation and then dying on the cross, then overcoming death by being resurrected on the third day. The Root of David because God chose David to be King of Israel after Saul didn’t do what God commanded him to do, and ultimately killed himself. David for the most part was a righteous King and Jesus Christ was a descendant of David although he was conceived by the Holy Ghost.

The Lamb represents that Jesus Christ died without a fight like a lamb being led to the sherer. Overcoming death and being resurrected to life eternal. The seven seals on the scroll. The seven eyes are the seven Spirits of God that are sent forth into all of the world. The seven Churches in Asia and each having an angel presiding over it. Power, peace, eternal life, holiness, love, the Alpha and the Omega the first and the last.

Jesus Christ overcame the world as he mentioned before He was betrayed. He that is in us is greater than him that is in the world. For Jesus Christ died for our sins not His own, and to as many as will believe He is the Son of God have the gift of salvation. Jesus Christ defeated the devil by dying for us, by becoming humble and coming in the form of a man He became the greatest man ever, for He is more than a man, He and God are one.

That all people should honor the Son of God as they honor God for they are one. Whosoever doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father. Jesus Christ status is very high and He sits on a throne of His glory just as God sits on a throne of His Glory. For when Jesus Christ comes back to judge the earth He will separate the sheep from the goats and when He’s describing this event of the future He calls himself the King which He is.

Because there are many Antichrist’s and false prophets and evil people in general in the world. However God wants Christians to reign for we are His children, we are obedient to Him and He is a faithful master. Priest’s because the Word of God needs to be preached. We are to reign later, for this world is very evil and the devil has slaves everywhere. The Antichrist will come to power and many people will be deceived, until Armageddon occurs in which Jesus Christ leads His servants to victory and the beast and the false prophet are taken and cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. Satan is bound for a thousand years then Christians will reign with Christ, afterwards the devil is let loose and he gathers his armies which are as many as the sand of the sea to Gog and Magog. Then they surround the Holy city of God to attack, then fire comes from the mouth of God and destroys them all, and then Satan is cast alive into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are to be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

The lambs blood was spread on all of the Israelites children so when the firstborn were slain by the Lord, whosoever had the lambs blood spread over where they were they did not die. The Egyptians did not have lambs blood on their firstborn and therefore God killed them all even the Pharoah’s son. Jesus Christ is often called the Lamb of God, and He saved God’s people by dying on the cross and innocent blood was shed.

By drinking His blood and eating His flesh we become heirs to God and Christ and they dwell in us. It signifies that we’ve become one with Christ, we are His, and He gives us eternal life. Because they thought it was cannibalism, eating His flesh and drinking His blood. We see eating any mans flesh is evil and disgusting and drinking blood is evil for the blood thirsty Satanist’s. But it’s different because He is the Son of God and He says if you don’t drink my blood and eat my flesh you have no life in yourself.

Sometimes they are very clear, and sometimes promptings are not so clear from the Holy Ghost. If God really wants our attention about a matter He knows how to get our attention. Like when the Holy Ghost would not have the disciples preach in Asia, it was very clear. No is just as important as yes because the things that are most important to God will get done, as He said the Word that I send will accomplish what I want it to. Yes, I’ve felt God’s promptings and haven’t taken appropriate action. In some ways I have followed through, because I’ve been faithful to Him when I was surrounded by enemies; sorcerers, who would get enraged when I wouldn’t bow to the devil. God has tested my faith for years, and I have overcome all of my enemies who come after me like it’s a game. God laughs at them when He sees how they hate me, for it’s not really me they hate but the Lord Jesus Christ.

God gives us wisdom to know the difference between good and evil. Jesus Christ will confirm us to the end, that we may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, we are called to have fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. I need to be found blameless in the Lords coming, for I as hard I try not to sin I still do. In prayer I like to confess my sins to God after I’m in the spirit or His realm, past, present, and future sins. Of course I have to forgive everyone who has done me wrong and that’s not such an easy thing to do sometimes, otherwise if I don’t forgive them God won’t forgive me.

I don’t thank Him enough, even though I’ve forgiven my enemies and have prayed for them. For some reason I still want to see them punished because they worship the devil and tried to force me to do the same but God gave me faith to overcome Satan. Oh, the things Satan wants to do to me, even though I know he’d rather have my soul since I have rebuked him many times. If I had less faith, I would have been swallowed up by the devil, God trusted me and always protected me when demons were surrounding me on every side. A person with less faith would have been possessed, for I have seen my enemies conjure up the devil and start speaking a strange language and looking at me like they wanted to kill me. And they persecuted me and people still do it, this world always hated me or rather Jesus Christ because He’s in me. Paul thanks them for the grace of God which is given by Jesus Christ. Waiting on the coming of the Lord as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in them.

Anyone who confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord and does the will of God, even though it’s hard with all of the temptations of the flesh. It’s so easy to say I’m no saint because we all sin, and we all fall short of the Glory of God because of that but Jesus Christ saved us. They are expected to be like Christ even though it’s hard, to live a Holy life in this evil world. The world expects them to be wise, kindhearted, gentle, peaceful, truthful, not swearing, not addicted to drugs or alcohol.

Paul states that he had weakness, much fear and trembling, not with the excellency of speech or wisdom. He even says he didn’t know anything that they knew except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. It can be dangerous to repackaging the message because you might be making God to be the God you think He is not what He really is. Sometimes people put God in a box and put Him away, not keeping Him in their life, like He wants them to do. For He is not like a false god or an idol that cannot hear or save, but He is an Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent God. Paul said that the people’s faith should not be as the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Not wisdom of this world, nor or princes of this world which come to nothing, but wisdom given to us by God through the Spirit.

Because Jesus Christ killed the flesh when He was crucified, and then was resurrected to eternal life in the Spirit. We don’t have to feel bad about sinning, we can’t help it, it’s in our nature and God knows that. We were bought for a price by Jesus Christ, He owns us but He’s a great master in that He still gives us free will, the devil would never do that he makes his people slaves by fear. We need the Holy Ghost to keep our freedom because we will be spirit also after our flesh dies, and He guides us through life.

Us Christians are the slaves. We are enslaved by sin and the lusts of the flesh. Jesus Christ is the ransom, He paid the price for our sins not His own. Jesus’s blood washes us from sin, that’s why none of the ransom is paid to Satan. The blood of Jesus frees us from the enslaving of the devil. The devil is constantly trying to make us feel so sinful that God will never forgive us, but he is a liar and we can’t fall into Satan’s control. The slave-ransom analogy is not completely spelled out in the New Testament because God wants us to have free will and choose life with Him and not to be slaves of the devil.
