The Way

PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

“THE WAY” – YOUR CONDUCT AS A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST THAT YAHWEH EXPECTS FROM HIS CHILDREN.

Learning “The Way” is actually nothing more than learning what Yahweh expects. When the Holy Angels were first created, Yahweh transmitted His Laws to them (The Way) through the Word Michael, that he expected all of them to adhere to. They were also all sworn in as Deputies to uphold those Laws (Yahweh’s Way.) They (the angelic hosts) all knew that an expansion of creation was soon to be underway. You have to consider that they did not foresee the fall of Dawn nor the new creation of Mankind taking a wrong course. They were preparing to police creation as Yahweh expanded Mankind throughout the visible creation from planet to planet.  The “Old Way” is Dawn’s way. The “New” Way is getting people back on course to “The Way’ that Yahweh expects. Keep in mind; He is the same Today, Yesterday, and Tomorrow. Yahweh has NEVER changed – it was the entrance of SIN that veered Mankind and angels off the correct course of “The Way.” “The Way” will eventually remove time (the keeping track of it) and be replaced back to Eternity. After the final test, you move away from the counting of time. You become ageless throughout eternity.

Much of what you are about to learn will be part of what is ahead in the Kingdom that must be learned and adhered to. This will give all of you a head start. Some of you will also be counselors, teaching Children and others that are less spiritually enlightened when you arrive in the promised Kingdom. Much of Yahweh’s commands can be learned even now. You will take them with you when you are Raptured; so, write them across your heart.

Being a footstep follower of Christ is not just a belief; it is a learned way of life:

Acts 9:1-2 Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and requested letters from him at the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to The Way, either men or women, he might bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

Acts 19:9, 24 But when some became hardened and would not believe, slandering the Way in front of the crowd, he withdrew from them and met separately with the disciples, conducting discussions every day in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. For a person named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, provided a great deal of business for the craftsmen.

Acts 18:25-26 The man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught the things about Jesus accurately, although he knew only John’s baptism. He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. After Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him home and explained the way of God to him more accurately.

 2 Peter 2:2 Many will follow their unrestrained ways, and because of them the way of the truth will be blasphemed.

Your conduct in life should be patterned after that of Christ:

1 Peter 2:21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in His steps.

John 13:15 For I have given you an example that you also should do just as I have done for you.

1 Corinthians 11:1 Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ.

1 John 2:6 the one who says he remains in Him should walk just as He walked.

The right conduct is important. What each person that claims to be of Christ does in life, reflects either credit or discredit upon Yahweh, Christ, and the vessel of people that belong in Unity with the promised Kingdom:

1 Peter 2:12 Conduct yourselves honorably among the Gentiles, so that in a case where they speak against you as those who do evil, they may, by observing your good works, glorify God in a day of visitations.

2 Peter 2:2 Many will follow their unrestrained ways, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.

2 Corinthians 6:3-4 We give no opportunity for stumbling to anyone, so that the ministry will not be blamed. But in everything as God’s ministers we commend ourselves.

1 Peter 3:1-2 Wives in the same way, submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, even if some disobey the Christian message, they may be won over without a message by the way their wives live.

Titus 2:4-8 so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and children, to be sensible, pure, good homemakers, and submissive to their husbands, so that God’s message will not be slandered.

Wrong conduct becomes rooted from wrongful desire:

James 1:14-15 But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires.

Genesis 3:6 Then the woman saw that the tree was good for food and delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

Matthew 15:19 Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches people to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever practices and teaches these commandments will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:28 But I tell you, everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Romans 1:24-26 They are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God presented Him as a propitiation through faith in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His restraint God passed over the sins previously committed.

Ephesians 2:2-3 In which you previously walked according to this worldly age, according to the ruler of the atmospheric domain, the spirit now working in the disobedient. We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts and by nature we were children under wrath, as the others were also.

Psalms 7:14-15 See, he is pregnant with evil, conceives trouble, and gives birth to deceit. He dug a pit and hollowed it out, but fell back into the hole he had made.

To cultivate right conduct in Yahweh’s eyes, requires putting on the new personality that transforms the mind:

Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is of the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

1 Peter 1:14-16 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance but, as the One who called you is holy, you also are to be holy in all your conduct; for it is written, Be holy, because I am holy.

Ephesians 4:22-24 you took off your former way of life, the old man that is corrupted by deceitful desires; you are being renewed in the spirit of your minds.

Colossians 3:9-10 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his practices and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of his Creator.

Philippians 4:8 Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable – if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise – dwell on these things.

Wrong attitudes to be avoided

Avoid anxiety:

Matthew 6:25-34 “This is why I tell you: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the sky: they don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they? Can any of you add a single cubit to his height by worrying? And why do you worry about clothes? Learn how the wildflowers of the field grow: they don’t labor or spin thread. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these! If that’s how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, won’t He do much more for you—you of little faith? So don’t worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ For the idolaters eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. ( Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Mark 4:19 but with the worries of this age, the seduction of wealth, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

1 Peter 5:7 casting all your care upon Him, because He cares about you.

Avoid belligerence:

1 Timothy 3:2-3 An overseer, therefore, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, and controlled, sensible, respectable, hospitable, an able teacher, not addicted to wine, not a bully but gentle, not quarrelsome, not greedy.

Avoid contentiousness:

Philippians 2:3 Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit; but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.

James 3:14-16 But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t brag and lie in defiance of the truth. Such wisdom does not come down from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.

Avoid cowardice:

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love and sound judgment.

Revelation 21:8 But the cowards, unbelievers, vile, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars – their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.

Avoid disrespect:

3 John 1:9-10 I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have first place among them, does not receive us. This is why, if I come, I will remind him of the works he is doing, slandering us with that! He not only refuses to welcome the brothers himself, but he even stops those who want to do so and expels them from the church.

Jude 1:8-10 Nevertheless, these dreamers likewise defile their flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme glorious things. Yet Michael the archangel, when he was disputing with the Devil in a debate about Moses’ body, did not dare bring an abusive condemnation against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”

Avoid egotism:

Galatians 5:26 We must not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Philippians 2:3 Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. Avoid envy and covetousness: Galatians 5:26 We must not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Titus 3:4 But when the goodness and love for man appeared from God our Savior.

Luke 12:15 He then told them, “Watch out and be on guard against all greed because one’s life is not in the abundance of its possessions.”

Colossians 3:5 Therefore, put to death whatever in you is worldly: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.

Avoid fear of sinful mankind:

Matthew 10:28 Don’t fear those that kill the body but are not able to kill the soul: rather, fear Him who is able to destroy both the soul and body in Hell.

Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man is a snare, but the one who trusts in the Lord is protected.

Psalms 118:6 The Lord is for me; I will not be afraid.

Avoid greediness:

Ephesians 5:3 But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper for saints.

Ephesians 5:5 For know and recognize this: no sexually immoral or impure or greedy person, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and of God.

1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother who is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a reviler, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

Avoid hardheartedness:

Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with skin diseases, drive out demons. You have received free of charge; give free of charge.

Mark 3:5 After looking around at them with anger and sorrow at the hardness of their hearts, He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

Avoid hatred:

Titus 3:3 For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, captives of various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, detesting one another.

Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirs up conflicts, but love covers all offenses.

Avoid hypocrisy:

2 Corinthians 6:4, 6 But in everything, as God’s ministers, we commend ourselves: by great endurance, by afflictions, by hardship, by pressures, by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love

James 3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy.

Avoid jealousy:

1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient; love is kind. Love does not envy; is not boastful; is not conceited.

Proverbs 14:30 A tranquil heart is life to the body, but jealousy is rottenness to the bones.

Avoid laziness:

Proverbs 21:25 A slacker’s craving will kill him because his hands refuse to work.

Romans 12:11 Do not lack diligence; be fervent in spirit; serve the Lord.

Proverbs 19:15 Laziness induces deep sleep, and a lazy person will go hungry.

Ecclesiastes 10:18 Because of laziness the roof caves in, and because of negligent hands the house leaks.

Avoid the love of money, and avoid the love for material things:

1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.

Hebrews 13:5 Your life should be free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for He Himself has said, I will never leave you or forsake you.

1 John 2:15-16 Do not love the world or the things that belong to the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. Because everything that belongs to the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of one’s lifestyle – is not from the Father, but is from the world.

Avoid malicious bitterness:

Ephesians 4:31 All bitterness, anger and wrath, insult and slander must be removed from you, along with all wickedness.

Avoid presumptuousness:

Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom.

Proverbs 13:10 Arrogance leads to nothing but strife, but wisdom is gained by those who take advice.

Proverbs 21:24 The proud and arrogant person, named “Mocker,” acts with excessive pride.

Avoid pride and haughtiness:

Proverbs 16:18 Pride comes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall.

Proverbs 16:5 Everyone with a proud heart is detestable to the LORD; be assured, he will not go unpunished.

James 4:16 But as it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

Proverbs 21:4 The lamp that guides the wicked – haughty eyes and an arrogant heart – is sin.

Avoid rebelliousness to the Truth:

1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and defiance is like wickedness and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has rejected you as king.

Correct version: 1 Samuel 15:23 “Refusing to obey him is as sinful as using evil magic. Being proud is as evil as worshiping statues of gods. You have refused to do what the Lord told you to do. So he has refused to have you as king.”

New International Reader’s Version. 1 Samuel 15:23 “Whenever the spirit from God [troubled] Saul, David would pick up his harp and play, and Saul would then be relieved, feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.” .

Holman Christian Standard Bible toned the scripture down, and that is considered as taking away from the Word.

Avoid stubbornness and self-will in spiritual things:

Jeremiah 13:10 These evil people, who refuse to listen to Me, who walk in the stubbornness of their own hearts, and who have followed other gods to serve and worship – they will be like this underwear, of no use whatsoever.

Titus 1:7 For an overseer, as God’s manager, must be blameless, not arrogant, not quick tempered, not addicted to wine, not a bully, not greedy for money.

2 Peter 2:10 especially those who follow the polluting desires of the flesh and despise authority. Bold, arrogant people! They do not tremble when they blaspheme the glorious ones.

Avoid uncontrolled anger:

Colossians 3:8 But now you must also put away all the following: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and filthy language from your mouth. I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know how we are, and so that he may encourage your hearts.

Psalms 37:8-9 Refrain from anger and give up your rage; do not be agitated – it can only bring harm. For evildoers will be destroyed, but those who put their hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

Proverbs 14:17 A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, and a man who schemes is hated.

Proverbs 29:22 An angry man stirs up conflict, and a hot-tempered man increases rebellion. 12 Avoid unreasonableness: 1 Peter 2:15 For it is God’s will that you, by doing good, silence the ignorance of foolish people.

Avoid wicked suspicions:

1 Timothy 6:4 he is conceited, understanding nothing, but having a sick interest in disputes and arguments over words. From these come envy, quarreling, slanders, evil suspicions.

Wrong Practices that should be Avoided

Avoid abusive speech and reviling (to criticize in an abusive or scornful way):

Ephesians 4:31 All bitterness, anger and wrath, insult and slander must be removed from you, along with all wickedness.

1 Peter 2:23 when reviled, He did not revile in return; when suffering, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to the One who judges justly.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived: no sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, or swindlers will inherit God’s kingdom.

Avoid accepting or offering bribes:

Exodus 23:8 You must not tae a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and corrupts the words of the righteous.

Proverbs 17:23 A wicked man secretly takes a bribe to subvert the course of justice.

Psalms 26:9-10 Do not destroy me along with sinners, or my life along with men of bloodshed in whose hands are evil schemes, and whose right hands are filled with bribes.

Avoid bragging:

Psalms 94:4 They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers boast.

1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient; love is kind. Love does not envy; is not boastful; is not conceited.

Avoid complaining:

Jude 1:16 These people are discontented grumblers, walking according to their desires; their mouths utter arrogant words, flattering people for their own advantage.

1 Corinthians 10:10 Nor should we complain as some of them did, and were killed by the destroyer.

Numbers 11:1 Now the people began complaining openly before the Lord about hardship. When the Lord heard, His anger burned, and the fire from the Lord blazed among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.

Colossians 3:13 Accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so also you must forgive. For I testify about him that he works hard for you, for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.

Avoid drunkenness:

1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother who is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a reviler, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived: no sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, or swindlers will inherit God’s kingdom.

1 Peter 4:3 For there has already been enough time spent in doing the will of the pagans: carrying on in unrestrained behavior, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry.

Avoid extortion:

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived: no sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, or swindlers will inherit God’s kingdom.

Avoid being false to agreements:

Romans 1:28-31 And because they did not think it worthwhile to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them over to a worthless mind to do what is morally wrong. They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, disputes, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving and unmerciful.

Avoid flattering others:

1 Thessalonians 2:5 For we never used flattering speech, as you know, or had greedy motives – God is our witness.

Proverbs 29:5 A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

Avoid foolishness and idle talk:

Ephesians 5:3-4 But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper for saints. And coarse and foolish talking or crude joking are not suitable, but rather giving thanks.

1 Timothy 1:6 Some have deviated from these and turned aside to fruitless discussion.

Avoid gluttony (habitual greed or excess in eating.):

Proverbs 23:20-21 Don’t associate with those who drink too much wine, or with those who gorge themselves on meat. For the drunkard and the glutton will become poor, and grogginess will clothe them in rags.

Proverbs 28:7 A discerning son keeps the law, but a companion of gluttons humiliates his father.

Avoid gossiping and being a busybody:

1 Timothy 5:12-13 and will therefore receive condemnation because they have renounced their original pledge. At the same time, they also learn to be idle, going from house to house; they are not only idle but are also gossips and busybodies, saying things they shouldn’t say.

1 Peter 4:15 None of you, however, should suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a meddler.

Avoid idolatry (worship of idols.):

1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother who is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a reviler, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

Avoid loose conduct, uncleanness, fornication, and adultery:

Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar, about which I tell you in advance – as I told you before – that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Ephesians 5:5 For know and recognize this: no sexually immoral or impure or greedy person, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and of God.

1 Peter 4:3 For there ha already been enough time spent in doing the will of the pagans: carrying on in unrestrained behavior, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry.

Mark 7:21-23 For from within, out of people’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders, adulteries, greed, evil actions, deceit, lewdness, stinginess, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a person.

Avoid lying and slander:

Colossians 3:9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his practices. He is with Onesimus, a faithful and loved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.

John 8:44 You are of your father the Devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of liars.

1 Timothy 3:11 Wives, too, must be worthy of respect, not slanderers, self-controlled, faithful in everything. Proverbs 16:28 A contrary man spreads conflict, and a gossip separates friends.

Avoid eating things that have been strangled, and avoid drinking blood:

Acts 15:28-29 For it was the Holy Spirit’s decision – and ours – to put no greater burden on you than these necessary things: that you abstain from food offered to idols, from blood, from eating anything that has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these things you will do well. Farewell.

Genesis 9:4 However, you must not eat meat with its lifeblood in it.

Avoid murder:

1 Peter 4:15 None of you, however, should suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a meddler.

Exodus 20:13 Do not murder.

Matthew 15:19 For from the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.

Avoid obscene jesting:

Ephesians 5:3-4 But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper for saints. And coarse and foolish talking or crude joking are not suitable, but rather giving thanks.

Avoid physical strife:

Galatians 5:19-20 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy.

Romans 1:28-29 And because they did not think it worthwhile to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them over to a worthless mind to do what is morally wrong.

Avoid quarreling:

Proverbs 17:14 To start a conflict is to release a flood; stop the dispute before it breaks out.

Proverbs 26:17 A passerby who meddles in a quarrel that’s not his is like one who grabs a dog by the ears. 2 Timothy 2:23 But reject foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they breed quarrels.

Avoid revelries (engaging in lively and noisy festivities.):

1 Peter 4:3 In regard to this, they are surprised that you don’t plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation – and they slander you.

Romans 13:13 Let us walk with decency, as in the daylight: not in carousing and drunkenness and put on the armor of light.

Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing and anything similar, about which I tell you in advance – as I told you before – that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Avoid ridiculing:

2 Peter 3:3-4 First, be aware of this: scoffers will come in the last days to scoff, following their own lusts, saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they have been since the beginning of creation.

Proverbs 13:1 A wise son hears his father’s instruction; but a mocker doesn’t listen to rebuke.

Avoid screaming at other people:

Ephesians 4:31 All bitterness, anger and wrath, insult and slander must be removed from you, along with all wickedness.

Avoid sectarianism (a member or follower of a sect.):

Titus 3:10-11 Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning, knowing that such a person is perverted and sins, being selfcondemned.

2 Peter 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.

Avoid stealing:

Ephesians 4:28 The thief must no longer steal, instead, he must do honest work with his own hands, so that he has something to share with anyone in need.

Exodus 20:15 Do not steal 1 Peter 4:15 None of you, however, should suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a meddler.

Avoid stirring up competitions:

Galatians 5:26 We must not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Avoid threatening other people:

1 Peter 2:23 When reviled, he did not revile in return; when suffering, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to the One who judges justly.

Ephesians 6:9 And masters, treat them the same way, without threatening them, because you know that both their and your Master is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with Him.

Next, is the Fruitage of the Spirit that is to be cultivated. I have already informed all of you in the past that the spiritual earth will eventually merge with the physical earth; when that happens, you will all be materializing as humans in the flesh once again. You need to learn all of these things that you just went through, and what you are about to read. All of these things will be part of the Sovereign Law in Christ’s promised Kingdom that you are all to inherit. Write these commands upon your hearts.

Fruitage of the Spirit

You must cultivate chastity:

1 Timothy 4:12 No one should despise your youth; instead, you should be an example to the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

1 Timothy 5:1-2 Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and with all propriety, the younger women as sisters.

1 Peter 3:1-2 Wives, in the same way, submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, even if some disobey the Christian message, they may be won over without a message by the way their wives live, when they observe your pure, reverent lives.

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your minds may be corrupted from a complete and pure devotion to Christ.

You must cultivate confidence and trust in Yahweh as your benefactor to have the prospect of eternal life:

Proverbs 3:26 for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from a snare.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; Proverbs 28:25 A greedy person provokes conflict, but whoever trusts in the LORD will prosper.

Proverbs 20:22 Don’t say, “I will avenge this evil!” Wait on the LORD, and He will rescue you.

You must cultivate a mind-set that you consider others more superior than yourself. Yahweh loves those who are lowly in mind, showing humility. (lowly: low in status or importance):

Philippians 2:3 Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.

Romans 12:3 For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one.

Colossians 3:12 Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience, Epaphras, who is one of you, a slave of Christ Jesus, greets you. He is always contending for you in his prayers, so that you can stand mature and fully assured in everything God wills.

You must be content with what you have at present:

1 Timothy 6:8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.

Hebrews 13:5 Your life should be free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for He Himself has said, I will never leave you or forsake you.

You must learn to be cooperative:

Ephesians 4:16 From Him the whole body, fitted and knit together by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth of the body for building up itself in love by the proper working of each individual part.

1 Corinthians 16:16 also to submit to such people, and to everyone who works and labors with them.

You must develop confidence and courage as a part of your mental makeup:

Philippians 1:14 Most of the brothers in the Lord have gained confidence from my imprisonment and dare even more to speak the message fearlessly.

2 Corinthians 5:6 Therefore, though we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.

You must be encouraging and up building to others:

Hebrews 10:24, 25 And let us be concerned about one another in order to promote love and good works, not staying away from our meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

Romans 1:11-12 For I want very much to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, that is, to be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.

Romans 15:2 Each one of us must please his neighbor for his good, in order to build him up. You must learn to be enduring, persevering, and steadfast in your loyalty to Christ and his Father Yahweh that have opened your eyes to the Truth.

You must be for the Truth, at any cost:

Matthew 24:13 But the one who ensured to the end will be delivered. Hebrews 10:36 For you need endurance, so that after you have done God’s will, you may receive what was promised.

Galatians 6:9 So we must not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.

Hebrews 12:3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so that you don’t grow weary and lose heart.

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

To do the above, you must cultivate unwavering faith in Christ and Yahweh. Your goal is to earn eternal life and to please Yahweh. That faith puts you in unity:

1 John 5:4 because whatever has been born of God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith.

Hebrews 10:30 For we know the One who has said, Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay, and again The Lord will judge His people.

Hebrews 11:6 Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for the one who draws near Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him.

You must prove your faith by being faithful in small matters as well as large things that put you to the test:

Luke 16:10 Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and whoever is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much.

You must learn to fear the one you love – Yahweh; because He alone can determine whether or not you are in unity. Fear of Him teaches you wisdom.

Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His instructions have good insight. His praise endures forever.

Proverbs 8:13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil. I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, perverse speech.

Psalms 33:8 Let the whole earth tremble before the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. You must be forgiving just as Yahweh is forgiving:

Mark 11:25 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your wrongdoing.

Matthew 18:21-22 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how many times could my brother sin against me and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” “I tell you, not as many as seven” Jesus said to him, “but 70 times seven.”

Ephesians 4:23 you are being renewed in the spirit of your minds, you put on the new man, the one created to God’s likeness in righteousness and purity of the truth.

You must show generosity just as Yahweh was generous in the undeserved kindness he offered mankind through the Ransom Sacrifice:

2 Corinthians 9:11 as you are enriched in every way for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.

Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure – pressed down, shaken together, and running over – will be poured into you lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

You must have and show Godly devotion to Yahweh your Creator: 1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is a great gain.

2 Peter 2:9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment.

You must cultivate goodness in your heart. It too comes from Yahweh:

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Ephesians 5:9 for the fruit of the light results in all goodness, righteousness, and truth – discerning what is pleasing to the Lord.

You must cultivate hospitality. You are never going to live alone in the Kingdom, so you need to learn to be friendly and generous to others:

Romans 12:13 Everyone must submit to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist are instituted by God.

Hebrews 13:2 Don’t neglect to show hospitality, for by doing this some have welcomed angels as guests without knowing it.

1 Peter 4:9 Be hospitable to one another without complaining.

You need to learn to have humility and to be modest:

Matthew 23:12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time.

Micah 6:8 He has told you men what is good and what it is the LORD requires of you: Only to act justly, to love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with your God.

1 Timothy 2:9 Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing, with decency and good sense; not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, pearls, or expensive apparel.

You must learn to be impartial the same as Yahweh is:

1 Peter 1:17 And if you address as Father the One who judges impartially based on each one’s work, you are to conduct yourselves in reverence.

James 3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without complaint, without favoritism and hypocrisy.

Proverbs 28:21 It is not good to show partiality – yet a man may sin for a piece of bread.

Yahweh does not like a lazy person; therefore you must strive to be industrious as well as whole-souled in your commitment to Him.

Hebrews 6:11 Now we want each of you to demonstrate the same diligence for the final realization of your hope.

Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically, as something done for the Lord and not for men.

Ephesians 6:6 Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but as slaves of Christ, do God’s will from your heart.

You must cultivate the spirit of joy. Your future is one of happiness, so think of that and be joyful even now:

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith.

Philippians 3:1 Finally my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write to you again about this is no trouble for me and is a protection for you.

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

You should develop a keen interest in other people’s welfare:

Philippians 2:4 Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

1 Corinthians 10:24 No one should seek his own good but the good of the other person.

1 Thessalonians 5:14-15 And we exhort you, brothers: warn those who are lazy, comfort the discouraged, help the week, be patient with everyone. See to it that no one repays evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.

You must show kindness to other people, regardless of their faith:

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith.

2 Corinthians 6:4, 6 But in everything, as God’s ministers, we commend ourselves: by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love.

 Micah 6:8 He has told you men what is good and what it is the LORD requires of you; Only to act justly, to love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with your God.

Ephesians 4:32 And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.

You must have love in your heart for not only Christ and Yahweh, but for all of creation that is positive in nature:

John 13:35 “Lord,” Simon Peter said to Him, “where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you will follow later.”

Colossians 3:14 Above all, put on love – the perfect bond of unity Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith.

1 Corinthians 14:1 Pursue love and desire spiritual gifts, and above all that you may prophesy.

1 Peter 4:8 Above all, keep your love for one another at full strength, since love covers a multitude of sins.

You must have loyalty:

Luke 1:74-75 since we have been rescued from our enemies’ clutches, to serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness in His presence all our days.

Ephesians 4:24 you put on the new man, the one created according to God’s likeness in righteousness and purity of the truth.

Psalms 116:15 The death of His faithful ones is valuable in the LORDs sight.

You must show mercy:

James 3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy.

Matthew 9:13 Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice.

Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, because they will be shown mercy.

You must have mildness:

Galatians 5:22-23 But of the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith.

Colossians 3:10-12 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of his Creator.

Titus 3:2 to slander no one, to avoid fighting, and to be kind, always showing gentleness to all people.

1 Timothy 6:11 Now you, man of God, run from these things; but pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. You must learn to be moderate in habits:

1 Timothy 3:2,11 An overseer, therefore, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, sensible, respectable, hospitable, an able teacher. Wives, too, must be worthy of respect, not slanderers, self-controlled, faithful in everything.

Titus 2:2 Older men are to be self-controlled, worthy of respect, sensible, and sound in faith, love and endurance.

You must learn to be orderly:

Philippians 3:16 In any case, we should live up to whatever truth we have attained.

1 Timothy 3:2 An overseer, therefore, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, sensible, respectable, hospitable, an able teacher.

Just as Yahweh and Christ have, you too should have patience and long suffering:

James 5:7 Therefore, brothers, be patient until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth and is patient until it received the early and the late rains.

Hebrews 6:12 teaching about ritual washings, laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.

Colossians 3:12 Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

1 Thessalonians 5:14 And we exhort you, brothers, warn those who are lazy, comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

You should pursue peace:

Hebrews 12:14 Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness – without it no one will see the Lord.

Romans 14:19 So then, we must pursue what promotes peace and what builds up one another. Romans 12:18 If possible, on your part, live at peace with everyone.

1 Peter 3:11 and he must turn away from evil and do good. He must seek peace and pursue it.

2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be restored, be encouraged, be of the same mind, be at peace and the God of love and peace will be with you.

You should have prayerfulness towards Yahweh your Creator:

Colossians 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving.

1 Peter 4:7 Now the end of all things is near; therefore be clear-headed and disciplined for prayer.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray constantly

Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer.

You should always prove your faith by putting spiritual matters first:

Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be provided for you.

You must always be ready to obey Christ – the Living Word – and Yahweh our Father:

James 3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism or hypocrisy.

Hebrews 5:9 After He was perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. You must learn to have reasonableness:

Philippians 4:5 Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.

Titus 3:2 to slander no one, to avoid fighting, and to be kind, always showing gentleness to all people.

James 3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism or hypocrisy.

1 Timothy 3:2-3 An overseer, therefore, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, and controlled, sensible, respectable, hospitable, an able teacher, not addicted to wine, not a bully but gentle, not quarrelsome, not greedy.

You must learn to be respectful of others:

1 Peter 3:15 but set apart the Messiah as Lord in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.

Ephesians 5:33 To sum it up, each one of you is to love his wife as himself, and the wife is to respect her husband.

You must learn to have self-control:

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

2 Peter 1:5-6 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with godliness.

Titus 1:7-8 For an overseer, as God’s manager, must be blameless, not arrogant, not quick tempered, not addicted to wine, not a bully, not greedy for money, but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, righteous, holy, self-controlled.

You must become serious minded. Lives lie in the balance. Christ never joked or made light of the seriousness of this spiritual conflict. Where the Truth is concerned, you should be dead serious in attitude:

Philippians 4:8 Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable – if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise – dwell on these things.

1 Timothy 3:8,11 Deacons, likewise, should be worthy of respect, not hypocritical, not drinking a lot of wine, not greedy for money, Wives, too, must be worthy of respect, not slanderers, self-controlled, faithful in everything.

Titus 2:2 Older men are to be self-controlled, worthy of respect, sensible, and sound in faith, love, and endurance.

You must learn to be submissive to Yahweh’s Will and those that he has put in charge:

Hebrews 13:17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account, so they can do this with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable to you.

Colossians 3:18 Wives, be submissive to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

You must exhibit tender compassion:

Colossians 3:12 Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

Ephesians 4:32 And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.

You must cultivate what the essence of the Word is. He is the exact image of Yahweh. To mirror the Word, you must learn to have complete truthfulness in your makeup:

Ephesians 4:25 Since you put away lying, Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because we are members of one another.

2 Corinthians 6:4-7 But in everything, as God’s ministers, we commend ourselves: by the message of truth, by the power of God; through weapons of righteousness on the right hand and the left You must develop wholesomeness of speech.

The mouth of the righteous one is a source of life:

Titus 2:6-8 Likewise, encourage the young men to be sensible about everything. Set an example of good works yourself, with integrity and dignity in your teaching. Your message is to be sound beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.

Proverbs 10:11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
