For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are MADE; even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

God’s invisible qualities are his eternal power (the gospel = goodness) + his divine nature (love which is mercy).

when people do not retain the knowledge of Elohim, people given to depraved minds, so that they do what ought not to be done. They are filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. Romans 1: 29 moral depravity increases when people are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice (these attributes aren’t seen with the eyes). They gossip, slander, hate God in their hearts and thus repulse his commands, insolent, arrogant, boastful (even Paul said I make boast in the LAW; 2 Corinthians 11:30, 16-33), they invent ways of doing EVIL, they disobey their parents, because they have no Understanding of Elohim’s word, no FIDELITY, no LOVE, no MERCY.

notice that all the trait of gossip, slander, God hating, arrogance, boasting, inventing evil, disobeying parents is based or contingent on them not having no UnDERSTAnDInG of Elohim’s word, therefore they have no fidelity, love or mercy.

It says further that although they know (not understand) Elohim’s righteous DECREE; that those who sin the sin above such people are deserving/ worthy of DEATH, they do not only do the same, but have pleasure in THOSE that do them. (leading others to sin – part of the six sins the LORD detest).

some translations say that they continue to do these very things and also approve those who practice them. Romans 1: 28 – 32.

Romans 2: 2

The judgement against those who do this is based on TRUTH. Because they show contempt for the riches of Elohim’s kindness, forbearance, and patience(mercy) not realizing God’s mercy is to bring US to repentance. Romans 2: 4

And so, when we read Psalm 118, he assures us that Elohim is good and his MERCY endures FOREVER, he doesn’t reward us according to what we deserve. (the mere fact that he rewards the faith of anyone who believes they will get what they ask for – irrespective of their race, religion, denomination, gender shows he is no respecter of persons when he rewards). We see what Elohim’s mercy and love looks like in Hosea & the prodigal son, that when we are ignorant or helpless in sin, he forgives us – shows us mercy (Hebrews 5: 7-9), the lords mercy still reaches people in Hebrew 6:4, who are no longer able to come to repentance. His mercy still reaches them, but they can’t be brought back to repentance because they have fallen away. notice the prodigal was blind (ignorant), Hosea wife was weak in sin (not willing to sin), this is why the prodigal son said, ” Father I was blind and now I see”. He became enlightened to Elohim. Job saith my ears hear of you now my eyes (spiritual eyes) see you. (Job 42:5-6)

John 10:29 KJV: My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. Whilst Gods grip on us is strong, are we willing to hold onto God unchanging hands. (As I speak for myself, where I write to myself as well….) Pray for me. As God promises are unchanging, we will not be changed….

Romans 8:35-39

³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

³⁶ As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

³⁷ Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

³⁹ Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

note:

Some people can be a believer and be ignorant on certain aspects of Elohim’s word causing them to sin, and some aren’t enlightened about the Elohim’s words they have knowledge but no understanding. So likewise, the aren’t enlightened as unbelievers. This is why the bible says the God of this age (idolatry, self) has darkened their minds, so it is veiled as in Moses passing either by the law or self because of the god of this present age (the rave, trend). Until revelation comes in light isn’t in a person – that is the breath of Elohim. These are ignorant people. Darlene Zschech – Friends In High Places VHS 1995 (Hillsong) (youtube.com) My God cares too much to say, His mercies are new every day. I get down to pray, help is on its way (2 Corinthians 4 vs 4). But there are people who have been enlightened and rebelled against his words knowingly with understanding of Elohim. Isaiah 1: 28 (rebels and sinners those who forsake Elohim will perish).

This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your Holy presence living’ in me
This is my daily bread
This is my daily bread
Your very word spoken to me

And I, I’m desperate for You
And I, I’m lost without You Breathe (Live) (youtube.com)\

his presence in us guides us, the law is inscribed in the doors of our hearts i.e. the holy spirit because, he proves the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment. John 16:8, so when we pass judgement from the spirit of God it is TRUTH not from flesh. Paul will say much of that in 1 Corinthians 1 and 2. when a believer can’t hear the voice of Elohim, or a believer cannot recognize the voice of Elohim he will err or be in ignorance that causes him to err. This is different from those who know after Elohim pardons them and continues in them. The spirit of Elohim is like the voice crying out in the wilderness repent for the kingdom of Elohim is at hand and prepare the way for Elohim. It is likened to John the Baptist who came preaching repentance; now we can either kill our conscience as John was killed by Herod because he told Herod to stop sinning, or we can listen to him. Shall we continue in sin that grace will abound. Romans 6:1-2

This writing was taken from Dr Chris Kwakpovwe Daily Manna.

He starts with the human body has several parts and certain parts of the body we do not see but are crucial to the overall performance of the body. In the same vein, in businesses there are certain people behind the CEO, or in Christian ministry, there are certain people around the sent-man/woman, who he calls – BEHInD THE SCEnE WORK FORCE. This people are the brains behind successful hitch free and powerful jobs/services, and they are as important as the CEO or pastor etc. Don’t join those who are fighting to be seen.
He says one should not struggle and fight to be seen, that leads to office politics and church politics.

He encourages diligence and says envy no one. He goes on to say: it should be more of God and less of us. Our labor is for the lord who sees in secret may be unseen and uncelebrated but is essential. He says he was a believer who worked in the church 48 years ago and worked not to be seen and he prayed never to be popular. But this foundation was it that made him what he is today by God’s grace. He says working to be seen leads to SHAME and DISGRACE.

He prayed to the LORD, “Isn’t this what I said, LORD, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a 1) gracious and 2) compassionate God, 3) slow to anger and 4) abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. – Jonah 4: 2

David said to Gad, “I am in deep distress. Let me fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercy is very great; but do not let me fall into human hands.” – 1 Chronicles 21:13.

Psalm 103:8-18 The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever. he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.

Nehemiah 9:17

They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and, in their rebellion, appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Therefore, you did not desert them.

It seems we know God nature all too well, that God will have mercy while we continue to sin after all his grace covers us. David said it, Nehemiah said it, Jonah said it and we the church know it. we find also that love corrects because if we are in him, we can’t abide in wicked-ness (practice of the wicked) (The LORD is just! He is my rock! There is no evil in him! Psalm 92: 15), If a man says, I love God, and hated his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 1 John 4: 20.

so, if he is gracious, we ought to be, if he is compassionate, we ought to be, if he is slow to anger (not vexation) we ought to be. Afterall, as he is so we are on this earth right. But it is also interesting to see when Elohim wants to exact judgement (not wickedness) on his people, he seldom cannot do it because of his nature; so, he gives his people over to the hands of their enemies, in the Elis (with Gods chosen nation – Israel) time Daegon and the ammonites, Saul (with Israel) the philistines, King Ahaz (with Israel) give to the hands of the Assyrians, Jeremiah (with Israel) given to the Babylonians. And the last days he will his people (the chosen people -not nation- who have rebelled against him to reprobate minds) Romans 1:22-32.

we have a deliverer who delivered us from our sins (from ourselves) and delivered us from our enemy. As Nehemiah 9: 27 “Therefore thou delivered them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heard them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gave them saviors, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies. ” Notice the Lord gave them over to their enemies first because of their sin when they called to him, he delivered them because he is merciful. The got delivered because they cried out asking God to forgive them, and then God delivered them from their enemies.

David was the only exception to this rule because when he did the census count and was given three option “he understood the very nature of Elohim” which is why he said let me fall under the hand of God, for he is merciful. (With the exception of Basheba’s son death, because David killed Uriah – ad this was among the six sins God hates and has said he will surely recompense Proverbs 6:16-19).

Nehemiah 9 clearly shows a God who is unrelenting towards his love for us, they worshipped idol, he forgives, and his love abounds so we could turn back to him. And I guess it is because God loves endures, he sent his son to die for us, hoping that we would see that despite our unfaithfulness to him, he still loves this is why he forgives us. so, we can turn back to him. 2 Timothy 2:13. This is primarily why we think we can live in sin and grace will abound because his mercy endures forever and that is love we are abusing.

Excerpts from Nehemiah 9

This is why God allows us to go through trials and testing of our faith, until we see how it feels to be rejected and scorned by men whether for righteousness’s sake (Elohim glory) | or unrighteousness’s sake (for our personal gain), we have a glimmer into how Jesus felt. Dr. Myles once said knowing something is wrong doesn’t change a person; many people know murder and stealing is bad and still do it, many Doctors know smoking is bad and still smoke; the knowing of the law doesn’t change man it is the love of Elohim that changes us. The only time we understand stealing is bad is when it is done to us. Hence, the 2nd commandment, when Jesus was crucified, we cannot fully comprehend how he felt, he was rejected by men and his father turned his back on him. The only time we begin to fully understand the sacrifice Jesus made is when we go through it, when we are under trial it seems Elohim is not near, and he has forsaken us that’s how Jesus felt “he said Eloi Eloi Lama Sabachthani” he was forsaken before we were; he was mocked before we were; yet he endured for you and me. He endured the cross despising the shame and now is sat down at the right hand of the throne of Elohim – Hebrew 12:2. You will also carry your cross to sit near to him – Luke 9:23.

Only when Jesus came out of the wilderness and a time of testing could he hear the spirit minister to him. While he was in the wilderness being tempted by the devil, he was answer through Elohim words. there was no comfort for him until he resisted the devil and submit to the father, then the holyspirit came to minister to him. Similarly, when we go through testing/trial as there may temporally discomfort, when we don’t eat (either out of lack/ or no), when there is no sign of God riches – wilderness season, we know he is still there because he is the word in us. This testing in the wilderness prepared Yeshua for his persecution which led to his crucifixion. similarly, when we go through trial it’s to prepare us for hard days.

This is a popular verse for reading today: Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. 2 Peter 3:3.

Scoffers -> according to Jude, are people who follow their ungodly desires, who divide the church, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the spirit of Elohim.

Solution:
Build up yourself in the most holy faith and praying in the holy spirit, keep oneself in Elohim’s love as you wait for mercy of Yeshua hashem to bring you to eternal life. Jude 1 vs 17 – 20. Call to perseverance.

The last days is likened to Sodom and Gomorrah, Luke 17:28-37; where even surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. Jude 1 vs 3

Remember all of Israel was chosen by Elohim to be delivered from Egypt but later he destroyed those who did not believe in him. (had unbelieving hearts) similar to the church of Elohim. Jude 1: 5

It goes on to say there are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our lord into a License FOR IMMORALITY.

solution: contend for the faith that was once entrusted to Elohim’s holy people.

The bible tells us there are three kinds of people unbelievers, ungodly and believing.

There are ungodly people characterized by judge to be:

1) people who pollute their own bodies, reject authority of Elohim, and heap abuse on celestial beings. (Archangel Micheal saith ‘the lord rebuke you’)

2) they slander whatever they do understand, and the very things they do not understand by instincts – as irrational animals do – will destroy them.

3)they took the way of Cain; they will kill their brothers in the lord (the lust of their father Satan – they will do), and they rush for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.

4) they are shepherds who feed only themselves – they are blemishes at our love feast, eating without qualms.

5) Enoch (the 7th from Adam); prophesied about them: ‘see, Elohim is coming with a 1000s upon 1000s of his holy one to judge everyone, and convict of all ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness have spoken against him.

6) they are grumblers and fault finders (causing offences -> as with Moses and the people grumbling about returning to Egypt for food, causing Moses and Aaron to be overcome with faults and then sinned against Elohim), they follow evil desires, they boast about themselves (2 Timothy 3:2-4, this is how they will lead the congregations to be lovers of themselves ad boastful) and flatter for their own advantage.

Scriptures worth remembering to this end:

Philippians 3 vs 18: talks about the enemies of the cross of Christ as well, their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach (why they grumbled in the wilderness? why Esau sold his birthright/inheritance?) and their glory is in shame, their minds set on earthly things.

Idolaters are impure persons (impure + greedy persons) philipians 4:12, 13, Eph 5:5.

I Corinthians 12 vs 24 all functioning body of Christ whether big, small, medium as the hand the same size with the ears is not but they all work together. therefore, our presentable parts need no special treatment. God puts the whole body together. The body of Christ the church whether big, small or medium matters not it’s the function that matters.

God placed the church 1st -> apostles; 2nd -> prophets, 3rd teaches of miracles, then gift of healing of helping of guidance and of different kinds of tongues.

Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward it yielded the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Revelation 3 vs 19 Those whom I love I rebuke & discipline so be earnest and repent. He chastises those he loves. Do not resist the discipline or correction of Adonai, whoever has ears, let the hear what the father of spirit is saying to the churches.
