THE OPPRESSOR

Greetings. John 11:48If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.The above verse concerns the time Jesus walked the physical earth. At the time of the Birth of Jesus, Palestine was ruled by the Roman vassal King Herod the Great. Ancient Jerusalem was conquered: around 63 BC by the Romans. When we are left alone without taking rebuke or corrected by God's Spirit we will spiritually oppress any spiritual meaning in the scriptures God wants to give us. We become God's enemies as we subject His words to our power of darkness, because we see His word's in darkness. Psalm 106:42Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power. Our carnal mind thoughts cannot never be subject to the thoughts of God because they His enemies. Romans 8:7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.  The Romans were Jerusalem's physical conquerors and oppressors. Has anybody been oppressing us lately? Deuteronomy 28:29And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. The above verse speaks of the spiritual blind that cannot prosper spiritually because they in their own way or thinking about the scriptures. When we are in such a state of being no man shall save us; it would take a God to deliver and not a mortal man. It would take a true God to deliver us from our unseen enemy and the oppressor of our soul. It would take a true God to send His son to show me my sins and this is the judgment I want to avoid at all cost. This judgment would cost me my life in this world and my life deals with my thinking. John 9:39And Jesus said,for judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. When I think back, I thought Jesus came to make me physically rich or to somehow make this physical life more bearable, I thought wrong. I was adding my thoughts unto God’s word and creating a God in an image of a man. Proverbs 30:6Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Men have no desire to have a book reprove their thinking while they are reading it. John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. While I am at it who’s the He, in the above verse, did this He come to make me perform a physical acts as a witness that I’m saved? Physical acts being: join a physical Church and surrender my W2 form.  No! In the above verse: for those that can Spiritually see that He came to reprove the world or my thinking about sin. I cannot be reproved of anything until I know what sin is. Proverbs 24:9The thought of foolishness is sin. So, the He in John 16:8 desires to reprove my thinking as of the scriptures meaning. Now do I already know what sin is or righteousness or judgment is? No, I do not! If I did it would be no need for the Holy Ghost to come. John 16:8 ​ And when He is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. What does this word reprove speaks of and what does reprove means to God? It does not matter what it means to me, only God. My oppressor or the carnal-mind would only desire to bring me death to my soul. When God’s reproves us He shows by our thinking concerning His word is darkness: this causes great mental pain. After I am shown by His mercy all my good physical deeds are nothing: I’m pained. Psalm 73:16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me. If I scorn the judgment against my thinking, I won’t suffer any mental pain: I cannot be saved, my enemy against my soul has triumphed over me. The man of sin born in all of us has succeeded in impersonating the Holy Spirit. It’s Jacob troubles or your troubles, millions of so-called Christian never take God judgment. Isaiah 21:3Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it. It’s almost impossible to believe after thirty years of studying the Bible that spiritually [ any fool can quote scripture and if you attend a Bible College, you will learn how to pronouns all the Bible character’s names: your friends may be impressed but not God]  we have not gained a Spiritual thing: but gained the world or our own righteousness about the Bible. Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Here Jesus asks a deep question to us, but we cannot  answer it: if we don’t know what the word, world means to God. The first thing the carnal-mind tells you it is something physical. Our enemy of our soul: the carnal mind oppresses God’s word and put it into bondage of man’s thinking. John 11:48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. Preachers spiritually do not want their physical people to believe on the truth, because they have not any Spiritual truth to give. The false Church wants to be left alone and have men believe on the wisdom of men. Jeremiah 23:21   I have not send these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. These false prophets would have to spiritually sales their riches and then buy the truth; this is not talking about physical monies but their thinking. Proverbs 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. Millions think they are rich spiritually just because they think they understand the Bible; nobody does only the interpreter the Holy Ghost. God’s words are hidden and we must be willing seek them out. If you desire to watch a lot of television and waste the precious little time we have on this physical earth, you will never find God’s hidden treasure. Matthew 13:44Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Still millions will seek to justify themselves by stating they are out living the gospel and do not have time to study. Then we are lying to ourselves and just doing what looks good to other people. Ever notice how hard it is to pat yourself physically on the back? John 11:48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.And if Preachers do not add their interpretation to the scriptures, nobody will believe their wisdom and the banks will come and take away their million-dollar whore houses they call Churches. How do they keep the money coming and remain in men admiration? Solution: spiritually kill the word and make their own law about it: based on the wisdom or laws of the carnal mind: the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.Two laws are hidden in the above verse, which one are you following? We allow the devil, which is just man’s thinking to get the advantage over us, because we refuse to allow God's words to judge us. Remember judging is merely thinking, we make hundreds of judgments every day: from what clothes to wear to where we eat lunch. Jude 1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words,having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage. Better still it’s expedient on any given Sunday to spiritually kill the author and minister death. Spiritually our lies or thoughts about the scriptures oppresses and kills. John 11:50Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish no. More about the above verse in God's time as God reveals it unto me.
