Matthew 5:2, 13a, 14a, 16

THEN, HE (Jesus) Opened HIS Mouth, And Taught Them, Saying: “YOU (Fellow Believers) Are THE (Spiritual) SALT Of The Earth! YOU (Fellow Believers) Are THE LIGHT (Jesus Christ’s LIGHT) Of The World (Satan’s World)! Let YOUR LIGHT, So SHINE, Before Men, That They May SEE Your Good Works (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us), And Glorify YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN (GOD Almighty)!”

Matthew 6:19-21

“Do NOT Lay Up For Yourselves (Fellow Believers), Treasures On Earth, Where, Moth And Rust Destroy, And Where, Thieves Break In And Steal; BUT, Lay Up For Yourselves (Fellow Believers), TREASURES IN HEAVEN; WHERE, NEITHER Moth NOR Rust Destroys, And WHERE, Thieves Do NOT Break In And Steal! For WHERE Your Treasure IS, THERE (IN Heaven), Your Heart (Believers’ Hearts) Will BE, Also!”

John 3:5-8

Jesus Answered, “Most Assuredly, I (Jesus) SAY TO YOU (Fellow Believers), Unless One Is Born Of Water (The Natural Body) And THE SPIRIT (THROUGH The Holy Spirit), He Can NOT Enter THE KINGDOM Of GOD (GOD Almighty)! THAT, Which Is Born Of The Flesh (The Natural Body), IS Flesh (The Natural Body), And THAT, Which Is BORN Of THE SPIRIT (THROUGH The Holy Spirit), IS SPIRIT (The Spiritual Body)! Do NOT Marvel, That I (Jesus) SAID TO YOU, ‘YOU (Fellow Believers) MUST BE BORN AGAIN (THROUGH The Holy Spirit)!’ The Wind Blows Where IT Wishes, And YOU Hear The Sound Of IT, BUT, Can NOT Tell Where IT Comes From, And Where IT Goes! So Is Everyone (Fellow Believers), Who Is BORN Of THE SPIRIT (THROUGH The Holy Spirit)!”

John 15:1-5, 8

Jesus Said To Him, “I (Jesus Christ) AM THE TRUE VINE, AND MY FATHER (GOD Almighty) IS THE VINEDRESSER! Every Branch, In ME (Jesus Christ), That Does NOT Bear FRUIT, HE (GOD Almighty) Takes Away (i.e. Lifts Up); And Every BRANCH (Fellow Believers) That Bears FRUIT (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us), HE (GOD Almighty) PRUNES (i.e. Molds And Changes Us, To Be More Like HIM, And Less Like The Rest Of Mankind), That IT (Fellow Believers) May Bear More FRUIT!”

“YOU (Fellow Believers) Are Already CLEAN, Because Of THE WORD, Which I (Jesus) Have SPOKEN To YOU (The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)! ABIDE IN ME (Jesus), AND I IN YOU (Fellow Believers)! As The Branch Can NOT Bear Fruit Of Itself, Unless It Abides In The Vine, Neither Can YOU (Fellow Believers), UNLESS, YOU ABIDE IN ME!”

“I (Jesus Christ) AM THE VINE, YOU (Fellow Believers) ARE THE BRANCHES! He (Fellow Believers), WHO ABIDES IN ME (Jesus), AND I IN Him, Bears Much FRUIT (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us); FOR WITHOUT ME (Jesus Christ), YOU (Fellow Believers) Can Do Nothing! BY THIS, MY FATHER (GOD Almighty) IS GLORIFIED, That YOU (Fellow Believers) Bear Much FRUIT; So YOU (Fellow Believers) Will Be MY DISCIPLES (Jesus Christ’s LIGHT)!”

Romans 8:5-6, 11

For Those (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), Who Live According To The Flesh (THROUGH Satan), SET Their Minds On The Things Of The Flesh (THROUGH Satan); BUT THOSE (Fellow Believers), WHO LIVE, ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), (Set Their Minds On) THE (Spiritual) THINGS Of THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit)!

For To Be Carnally Minded (THROUGH Satan), IS Death (IN The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION); BUT, To Be Spiritually Minded (THROUGH The Holy Spirit), IS LIFE (EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER), And Peace (IN Christ Jesus)!

BUT, IF THE SPIRIT Of HIM (GOD Almighty), WHO RAISED JESUS (ALIVE), From The Dead (i.e. Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension), DWELLS IN YOU (Fellow Believers), HE (GOD Almighty), WHO RAISED CHRIST (ALIVE) From The Dead, Will Also, GIVE LIFE (EVERLASTING LIFE), To Your Mortal Bodies (i.e. Our Spiritual Bodies, At The Being Caught Up Together), THROUGH HIS SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), WHO DWELLS IN YOU (Fellow Believers)!

1 Corinthians 2:9-10a, 12-16

BUT, As It Is Written: Eye Has NOT Seen, NOR Ear Heard, NOR Have Entered Into The Heart Of Man (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), THE (Spiritual) THINGS, Which GOD (GOD Almighty) Has PREPARED, For Those (Fellow Believers) Who Love HIM!” BUT, GOD (GOD Almighty) HAS REVEALED THEM (The Spiritual Things), TO Us (Fellow Believers), THROUGH HIS SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit)!

Now, We (Fellow Believers) Have RECEIVED, NOT The Spirit Of The World (Satan), BUT, THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), WHO IS FROM GOD (GOD Almighty), That We (Fellow Believers) Might Know THE THINGS (The Spiritual Things), That Have Been FREELY GIVEN, TO Us, BY GOD (GOD Almighty)! THESE THINGS (The Spiritual Things), We (Fellow Believers) Also, SPEAK, NOT IN WORDS, Which Man’s Wisdom Teaches (THROUGH Satan); BUT, Which THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACHES (Us, Fellow Believers), Comparing SPIRITUAL THINGS, With SPIRITUAL (Things)!

BUT, The Natural Man (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Does NOT Receive THE (Spiritual) THINGS Of THE SPIRIT Of GOD (The Holy Spirit), For THEY (The Spiritual Things) Are Foolishness To Him; NOR Can He Know THEM (The Spiritual Things), Because THEY Are Spiritually Discerned (Spiritually Understood)!

BUT, He (Fellow Believers), WHO IS SPIRITUAL (Children Of GOD Almighty), Judges ALL (Spiritual) THINGS, Yet, He, Himself, Is RIGHTLY Judged, By NO One! For “Who Has Known THE MIND Of THE LORD (Jesus Christ), That He May Instruct HIM?” BUT, We (Fellow Believers) Have THE MIND Of CHRIST (Because Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit)!

1 Corinthians 13:12

For Now, We (Fellow Believers) SEE (Jesus), In A Mirror, Dimly; BUT THEN (At The Being Caught Up Together), Face To Face! Now, I (Fellow Believers) Know (Jesus), In Part; BUT THEN, I Shall KNOW (Jesus), Just As, I Also, Am KNOWN (By Jesus)!

2 Corinthians 5:20-21

Now Then, WE (Fellow Believers) ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, As Though GOD (GOD Almighty) Were Pleading (With YOU), THROUGH Us: WE (Fellow Believers) IMPLORE YOU (Yet-To-Be-Believers), On Christ’s Behalf, Be Reconciled To GOD (GOD Almighty)! FOR HE (GOD Almighty) MADE HIM (Jesus Christ), WHO Knew NO Sin, TO BE Sin For Us (i.e. Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension), That We (Fellow Believers) Might Become The Righteousness Of GOD (Children Of GOD Almighty), IN HIM (Jesus Christ)!

Ephesians 6:10-12

Finally, My Brethren (Fellow Believers), BE STRONG IN THE LORD (GOD Almighty), AND IN THE POWER Of HIS MIGHT! Put On The Whole ARMOR Of GOD (GOD Almighty), That YOU (Fellow Believers) May Be Able TO STAND, AGAINST The Wiles (The Deception) Of the devil (Satan)! For We (Fellow Believers) Do NOT Wrestle (Spiritually Battle) Against Flesh And Blood (i.e. Mankind); BUT, (We Spiritually Battle) AGAINST Principalities, AGAINST Powers, AGAINST The Rulers Of The Darkness Of THIS Age, AGAINST Spiritual HOSTS Of Wickedness, In The Heavenly PLACES (i.e. AGAINST Satan, The Fallen Angels, And Demons)!

2 Corinthians 10:3-5

For Though We (Fellow Believers) Walk In The Flesh (i.e. The Natural Body), We Do NOT War, According To The Flesh! For The Weapons Of Our (Spiritual) Warfare, ARE NOT Carnal (i.e. Physical), BUT, MIGHTY IN GOD (The Whole ARMOR Of GOD Almighty); For Pulling Down Strongholds, Casting Down Arguments, And Every High Thing That Exalts Itself, Against THE KNOWLEDGE Of GOD (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), Bringing Every Thought Into Captivity, To THE OBEDIENCE Of CHRIST!

Colossians 3:1-4

IF THEN, YOU (Fellow Believers) WERE RAISED WITH CHRIST, SEEK THOSE (Spiritual) THINGS, WHICH ARE ABOVE (IN Heaven), WHERE CHRIST IS, Sitting At The Right Hand Of GOD (GOD Almighty)! SET Your Mind (Believers’ Minds), ON (The Spiritual) THINGS, ABOVE (In Heaven), NOT On (The Carnal) Things (THROUGH Satan) On The Earth! For YOU Died (To Sin, IN The Natural Body), And Your Life (EVERLASTING LIFE, IN The Spiritual Body), IS HIDDEN WITH CHRIST, IN GOD (GOD Almighty)! WHEN CHRIST, WHO IS, OUR LIFE, APPEARS (At The Being Caught Up Together), THEN, YOU (Fellow Believers) Also, Will Appear With HIM (Jesus), IN GLORY (i.e. In Our Spiritual Bodies)!

2 Timothy 2:3-4, 7

YOU (Fellow Believers) Therefore, MUST Endure Hardship, As A Good Soldier Of Jesus Christ! NO One Engaged In (Spiritual) Warfare, Entangles Himself With The Affairs Of THIS Life (IN The Natural Body), That He May Please Him (Fellow Believers), Who Enlisted Him, As A Soldier! Consider What I Say, And May THE LORD (Jesus Christ) Give YOU (Fellow Believers) Understanding, IN ALL (Spiritual) THINGS!

1 John 2:20, 24-25, 27-28

BUT, YOU (Fellow Believers) HAVE AN ANOINTING (Of The Holy Spirit), FROM THE HOLY ONE (GOD Almighty), AND YOU (Fellow Believers) KNOW ALL (Spiritual) THINGS! Therefore, Let THAT (The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), ABIDE IN YOU (Fellow Believers), Which YOU Heard From The Beginning! IF What YOU Heard From The Beginning, ABIDES IN YOU, YOU (Fellow Believers) Also, WILL ABIDE IN THE SON (Jesus Christ), AND (Will Abide) IN THE FATHER (GOD Almighty)!

AND THIS, IS THE PROMISE, THAT HE (Jesus Christ) HAS PROMISED Us (Fellow Believers) — ETERNAL LIFE (EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER)!

BUT, THE ANOINTING (Of The Holy Spirit) Which YOU (Fellow Believers) Have RECEIVED From HIM (GOD Almighty), ABIDES IN YOU, And YOU Do NOT Need, That Anyone Teach YOU; BUT, As THE SAME ANOINTING (Of The Holy Spirit) TEACHES YOU (Fellow Believers), Concerning ALL (Spiritual) THINGS, AND IS TRUE (From GOD Almighty), AND Is NOT A Lie (From Satan), AND JUST AS IT (The Anointing Of The Holy Spirit) HAS TAUGHT YOU, YOU (Fellow Believers) WILL ABIDE IN HIM (Jesus Christ)!

And Now, Little Children (Fellow Believers), ABIDE IN HIM (Jesus Christ), THAT WHEN HE APPEARS (At The Being Caught Up Together), We (Fellow Believers) May Have Confidence, And NOT Be Ashamed Before HIM (Jesus Christ), AT HIS COMING (At The Being Caught Up Together)!

Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, And Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, Always.

Fellow Believers, Wherever YOU Are, Wherever YOU Go, Whatever YOU Do; Be It, In The Natural Physical World, OR In Cyber World; May OUR LORD Jesus Christ, Find YOU, Going About THE FATHER’S Business, Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, As A Good And Faithful Servant! Amen.
