- If a man says, I have love for God, and has hate for his brother, his
words are false: for how is the man who has no love for his brother whom
he has seen, able to have love for God whom he has not seen?
- (1 John 4:20)

|
- Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in
him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (1 John 3:9)
- Living in our Flesh is one Born of God, Jesus in Us who does not sin. We
need more of his nature in us and less of our flesh nature.

- ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old man, that is
corrupt according to the desires of the deceit, and to be renewed in the
spirit of your mind, and to put on the new man, which, according to God,
was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.
- (Ephesians 4:22-24)

- These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto
him:
- (Proverbs 6:16)
- A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
- (Proverbs 6:17)
- An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in
running to mischief,
- (Proverbs 6:18)
- A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among
brethren.
- (Proverbs 6:19)

- God hates creepy behavior.
- So we mix the Holy Spirit with our Flesh and help God by wanting to kill
sinners for him.
- That’s why after 9/11 we wanted to kill Muslims. They killed innocent
people.
- That’s why Rev. Felps of Westboro Baptist church “hates fags.”
- We should hate sin but our flesh nature is to be “crucified” and only
the sinless one is us should act!

- And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his
brother also. (1 John 4:21)

that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life
age-during.
- (John 3:16)

- Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:21)
- and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me, for
I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh,
good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I
do not find, (Romans 7:17-18)

- By Putting no Trust in the Flesh Nature
- The Flesh Must Be Crucified!
- That no flesh should glory in his presence.
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us
wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That,
according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
(1 Corinthians 1:29-31)

|
- For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one:
for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, (Hebrews 2:11)
- We are sanctified or holy to the degree Christ develops in us and our
flesh is crucified daily.

- Jesus came to do God’s will.
- That was his secret to power.
- for having received from God the Father honour and glory, such a voice
being borne to him by the excellent glory: `This is My Son--the beloved,
in whom I was well pleased;‘ (2 Peter 1:17)
- We too need to crucify our flesh nature and seek only to do God’s will.
- Paul said, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I,
but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I
live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for
me.” (Galatians 2:20)
- And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I
must be about my Father's business? (Luke 2:49)
|

|
- Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: (Philippians
2:5)
- We put on that mind through a close relationship with our friend and
lord Jesus.
- Because he is our Lord we must obey his commandments.
- Because he is our friend we must “hang out with him” by spending time
talking to him and doing things with him.

|
- And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever
will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
- (Luke 9:23-24)
|
|
14
|
- And he said unto all, `If any one doth will to come after me, let him
disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me; (Luke 9:23)
- But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
(Galatians 6:14)
- Both Paul and Jesus give a double witness that crucifying the flesh is
the road to spiritual success in the Kingdom of God.

|
- I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die
daily. (1 Corinthians 15:31)
- We are to be crucified by Jesus until we are dead.

- For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
(Deuteronomy 4:24)
- And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them;
he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of
saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
- (Deuteronomy 33:2)
|

|
- Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should
exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother
should seem vile unto thee. (Deuteronomy 25:3)
- In the law of Moses the punishment for breaking the “fiery law” were
whippings or stripes.
|
|
18
|
- Jesus links “stripes” or whippings to the “fiery law”. Connecting his
baptism of fire he was kindling to the punishment for breaking the law.
In Moses time the literal law of Moses. In our times the spiritual
carbon copy of the law of Moses which is called the law of Christ by
Paul.
- And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself,
neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many
stripes.
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes,
shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of
him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him
they will ask the more.
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be
already kindled? (Luke 12:47-49)

- Jesus said he had a baptism of fire to undergo and referred to the
crucifixion. He was the sin offering burnt to appease God. (Luke
12:49-50)
- When Jesus was judged for the sin of the world he wasn’t literally
burned. He was crucified.
- Therefore the Baptism of fire Jesus had to undergo is crucifixion. The
wood of the cross is the firewood.
- And the Baptism of fire he will immerse us in is our own cross. We to
are to be being crucified daily until our old man dies.
- And he saith to them, `Of my cup indeed ye shall drink, and with the
baptism that I am baptized with ye shall be baptized…’ (Matthew 20:23)
|

|
- `Fire I came to cast to the earth, and what will I if already it was
kindled?
but I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I pressed
till it may be completed! (Luke 12:49-50)
|
|
21
|
- When you put it all together you get:
- The law is a “fiery law”
- Punishment for breaking the law is stripes.
- Jesus linked stripes to his baptism of fire.
- The baptism of fire is crucifixion.
- Animals offered to God through fire.
- We are to die daily.
- We will be in the “hell” of the cross until we are consumed (dead and
flesh burned up) like any other offering.
- The cross is the kindling wood and restraint system for us while we die.
|
|
22
|
- As we become less our Godliness will become more.
- As our evil flesh nature dies we will then hate our brothers sin but
love our brother just like God does.
- And to Rev. Felps – God hates homosexuality not “fags”. He’ll burn your
flesh the same as theirs.
