The Sermon On The Mountain

Part 1

The Twelve Apostles

The Purposes Of The Sermon On The Mount
The sermon on the mountain became necessary because of the following reasons:

1. Humanity were not living the way they should.

2. They were ignorant of the Truth that is life.

3. They have wrong set of priorities. They value insignificant things far above the significant things.

4. They do not know God, their Father and how to find Him.

5. Although religious leaders were very much respected and honoured by the people, the leaders were not giving the people the right guidance.

6. Many of the sermons delivered in the churches lack spiritual contents.

7. Many of God’s commandments, teachings and revelation have been turned upside down, have become misunderstood or have been replaced with man-made doctrines.

8. People know that there is after life, but do not know how to find and enter this spiritual kingdom of life.

9. They do not know the spiritual laws of life, which controls, rewards or penalizes every man for his actions and faults.

10. They do not know how to relate with one another, especially by practicing love and mercy.

11. They do not know how to get the good things of life.

12. They lacked knowledge and wisdom.

13. Etc.

Therefore, Jesus came:

1. To show the way.

2. To teach the Truth, especially through leading by examples.

3. To reset the priorities.

4. To make people know God and how to find Him.

5. To correct and empower the religious leaders, though many of the old would not allow Him.

6. To correct misconceptions, false beliefs and unreasonable assumptions.

7. To explain the spiritual laws of life in details with examples (parables).

By the Sermon on the Mount,

1. Jesus Christ was making known the everlasting blessings of God for His children.

2. He rectified the ruinous mistakes of a blind and carnal world. Blessings are the things which men pursue, doing so in the wrong way out of ignorance.

3. He corrected the wrong notion about success and prosperity. The general opinion is, 'blessed are the rich, great and honourable men in the world, because their desires, purposes and engagements prosper according to world’s standards'. But that is not true in spirit.

4. He removed the discouragements and suppression felt by the weak and poor, by assuring them that all those, whose hearts are upright with God, have the same honours and privileges in the kingdom of heaven.

5. He explained the covenant-relationship between God and man, showed example by keeping the original Ten Commandments, and by observing the seven annual festivals of God.

6. He made humanity know what God expects from them, and what people should expect from God.

7. He proved, beyond all reasonable doubts, that God is Love, Loving and Beloved.

Spiritual Science Teachings By Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ taught us various things. He was doing so both theoretically and practically. Ourselves were seeing and understanding, as He was doing so. There is no teaching and explanations better than His method.

On many occasions, when something happened, Jesus Christ already knew when it shall happen, because He sees both spiritually and physically. That was why, sometimes, He told us what shall happen before that thing actually happened. And if we did not understood it when He was talking about it, after it has happened, we remembered and understood what He said. It is not all the news that a person understands when he is being told. Even so it was then, when we were here on earth with Jesus Christ.

The Sermon On The Mount
And Jesus and the twelve went to the mountain top, and Jesus said, “Twelve pillars of the church, apostles of the Christ. light-bearers of the sun of life and ministers of God to humanity, in just a little while you must go forth alone, and preach the gospel of the king, first to the Israelites and then to all the world. And you shall go, not with a scourge of cords to drive. You cannot drive people to the king. But you shall go in love and helpfulness, and lead the way to right and light.”

The Fourteen (14) Beatitudes

Go forth and say,

1. The kingdom is at hand.

2. Worthy are the strong in spirit. Theirs is the kingdom.

3. Worthy are the meek. They shall possess the land.

4. Worthy are they who hunger and thirst for right. They shall be satisfied.

5. Worthy are the merciful. And mercy shall be shown to them.

6. Worthy are they who gain the mastery of self. They have the key of power.

7. Worthy are the pure in heart. And they shall see the king.

8. Worthy are they who are maligned and wronged because they do the right. Their persecutors they shall bless. Their vindication and compensation is certain.

9. Worthy is the trustful child of faith. He shall sit in the throne of power.

10. Be not discouraged when the world shall persecute and call you curst (annoying). But rather be exceedingly glad. The prophets and the seers, and all the good of earth, have been maligned.

11. If you are worthy of the crown of life you will be slandered, criticized and curst on earth.

12. Rejoice when evil people shall drive you from their ways and cause your name to be a hiss and by-word in the street.

13. I say, rejoice. But deal in mercy with the doers of the wrong. They are but children at their play. They know not what they do.

14. Rejoice not over fallen foes. As you help people rise from the depth of sin, so God will help you on to greater heights.

1. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

2. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

3. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

4. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

5. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

6. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

7. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

8. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

9. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

The Eight (8) Woes Unavoidable

1. Woe to the rich is gold and lands. They have many and various temptations.

2. Woe to people who walk at will in pleasure's paths. Their ways are full of snares and dangerous pits.

3. Woe to the proud. They stand upon a precipice. Destruction waits for them.

4. Woe to the man of greed. For what he has is not his own. And behold, another comes, and the greedy man’s wealth is gone.

5. Woe to the hypocrite. His form is fair to look upon, his heart is filled with carcasses and dead people's bones.

6. Woe to the cruel and relentless man. He is himself the victim of his deeds. The evil he does to other people boomerang on himself. The scourger is the scourged – the persecutor shall unfailingly be severely persecuted.

7. Woe to the libertine who preys upon the virtues of the weak. The hour comes when he will be the weak, the victim of a libertine of greater power.

8. Woe to you when all the world shall speak in praise of you. The world does not speak in praise of people who live within the Holy Spirit. It speaks in praise of false prophets, fake pastors and deceptive ministers, and of illusions base – humanity encourage those things that mislead people from the way of truth and salvation.

1. "But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.

2. Woe to you who are full, for you shall hunger.

3. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.

4. Woe to you when all people speak well of you, for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Swap Of Destinies

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be filled.

Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.

Luke 6:21

"But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.

Woe to you who are full, for you shall hunger.

Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.

Luke 6:24-25

Explanations:

1. In future lifetimes, positions are swapped. The masters of yesterday become the servants of today.

2. And the rich and influential personalities of the present lifetime become the poor and insignificant men in future.

3. Besides, many of the rich, wealthy famous people end up inside the hell fire, because they neglect the spiritual dimension of life.

Love Of Fame

Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Luke 6:26

Explanations:

People speak well of you when:

1. They praise you, while you are doing wrong.

2. They say all kinds of good things about you.

3. They fail to give you corrections and advice.

4. They encourage you in all kinds of worthily life that lead many into the hell fire.

5. They patronize your business or performances, which are their worldly desires, which desires and patronage are the deceptions and works of Satan.

You Are The Salt Of The Earth

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavour, how shall it be seasoned? How shall its saltiness be restored? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by people.”

You Are The Light Of The World

"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

“And you are light. You are called to light the world. A city on a hill cannot be hid. Its lights are seen afar. And while you stand upon the hills of life, while you are in leadership positions or any good position, people see your light and emulate your good works and honour God. Humanity do not light a lamp and hide it in a cask. They put it on a stand that it may light the house. You are the lamps of God. You must not stand in the shade of earth illusions, but in the open, high upon the stand.”

The Laws And Prophecies Are Compulsory

The Laws and the Prophets means The Books Of The Covenant Laws given to humanity through Holy Moses, and The Books Of The Prophecies of the ancient men and women of God.

“I am not come to nullify the law, nor to destroy. But to fulfil. The Law, the Prophets and the Psalms were written in the wisdom of the Holy Spirit and cannot fail. The heavens and earth that are will change and pass away. The word of God is sure. It cannot pass, until it shall accomplish that for which it has being sent.
Whoever disregards the law of God and teaches humanity to do the same, becomes a debtor unto God, and cannot see God’s face until he has returned and paid his debt by sacrifice of life through karma and reincarnation.

“But he who hearkens unto God and keeps His law and does His will on earth, shall rule with Christ. The Scribes and Pharisees regard the letter of the law – they do not understand the spiritual meanings, implications and limits. They cannot comprehend the spirit of the law. And if your righteousness does not exceed the righteousness of Scribes and Pharisee you cannot come into the kingdom of the soul. It is not what man does that gives him right to enter through the gates. His pass word is his good character and desire is his character. The letter of the law deals with the acts of man. The spirit of the law takes note of his intentions.”

"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches humanity so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Jesus Explains The Ten Commandments

“God gave the Ten Commandments to humanity through Holy Moses. For Holy Moses ascended to heaven, in spirit, in his first visit, and he saw God face to face. And God Almighty gave and wrote the original Ten Commandments in two stone tablets, which were heavenly stone tablets. In his second visit, Holy Moses copied the original Ten Commandments from God, and wrote the Ten Commandments down on solid rock tablets, which were carved out by Holy Moses. They cannot be destroyed.

“In all existence, there is one God. Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts, is the God the Almighty Father. And He commanded, saying, “You shall have no other gods before Me.”

“God is the Spirit that humanity must worship, if they would attain a consciousness of God – for them to become manifest sons of God, for man is a perfect God. But humanity must never make and worship a picture or an image of the Holy Spirit or anything in heaven and on earth.

The name of God is not what humanity shall speak with carnal lips. But with the Holy Spirit alone, man can pronounce the holy name.

“In vanity humanity think they know the name of God. They speak it lightly and irreverently, and thus they are accursed. The name of God is so holy and powerful that, if humanity know the sacred name and spoke it with unholy lips, they would not live to speak it once again. But God in mercy has not yet unveiled His name to those who cannot speak with the Holy Spirit. But they who speak the substitute in idle way are guilty in the sight of God, who said, ‘You shall not take the name of God in vain.’

“The number of the Holy Spirit is seven, and God holds the sevens of time (eternity) in His hands. In forming the worlds, God rested on the seventh day, and every seventh day is set apart as Sabbath Day for humanity, for all creation. All the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven keep the Sabbath Day holy, even so from everlasting to everlasting.

“And God said, ‘The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. Remember it and keep it holy, wholly set apart for works of holiness – for rest, prayers and worship. That is, for works not for the selfish self, but for the Lord your God. Humanity may do work for themselves on the first six days of the week, but on the Seventhday, which is the Sabbath Day of the Lord, they must render no services and do no work for themselves. This Seventhday is consecrated unto God. It is the Lord’s Day, the day of worship, set apart for rest, prayers and worship.”

Humanity should abide by the following Sabbath rules and regulations:

1. "Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath Day and hallowed it.

2. The seventh day of every week is Yahweh’s Sabbath of rest and a holy convocation.

3. Keep the Sabbath Day holy by making preparation in advance, on or before 3:00pm on the Sixthday.

4. Do not render services on the Sabbath Day.

5. Do not work on the Sabbath Day.

6. Do not conduct your business or leisure on the Sabbath.

7. Do not kindle fire on the Sabbath.

8. Do not allow anger or wrath on the Sabbath Day. Do not allow the sun go down on your anger.

9. The Sabbath Day is not a day for washing clothes

10. The Sabbath Day is not a day for performing domestic duties.

11. It is not a day for buying and selling.

12. It is not a day for marriage or wedding ceremonies.

13. It is not a day for meetings or social gatherings.

14. It is not a day for traveling or business conferences.

15. Throughout your generations.

Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a everlasting covenant. It is a sign between God and His children forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.

16. Allow your servants to rest.

17. Sabbath is forever.

"For as the new heavens and the new earth

Which I will make shall remain before Me,"

says the Lord,

"So shall your descendants and your name remain.

And it shall come to pass

That from one New Moon to another,

And from one Sabbath to another,

All flesh shall come to worship before Me,"

says the Lord.

18. You should not do your pleasures, hobbies, etc on the Sabbath Day.

19. Only duties for God shall be performed on that day. The day belongs to God. Therefore, it is the Lord’s Day, for rest, prayers and worship.

20. It is not a day for site-seeing.

21. It is not a day for washing of unGodly video and television.

22. It is not a day for using social communications or friendly conversations.

Honour The Lord Your God
“The man who honours the Almighty and Omniscient God is blessed, and in the tables of the law we read, ‘Honour the Lord your God, the Father in heaven, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God gives you.’ ”

You Shall Not Kill
“The letter of the law commands, ‘You shall not kill, and he who kills must stand before the judgement seat.’ A person may desire to kill, yet if he does not kill, he is not judged by law. The spirit of the law states that he who shall desire to kill, or seeks revenge, or a person who is angry with a man without sufficient cause, must answer to the judge; such a person is already guilty.

“And he who calls his brother soulless vagabond shall answer to the council of the just. And he who calls his brother a degenerate, a dog, fans into life the burning fires of hell within himself.”

"You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.' But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire.

“Now, in the higher law, we read that if your brother is aggrieved by something you have done, before you present your gifts and offerings to God, go forth and find your brother, and be reconciled to him. It is not well to let the sun go down upon your wrath. If he will not be reconciled when you have laid aside all selfish pleas, have waived all selfish rights, you will be guiltless in the sight of God. Then go and offer unto God your gifts.”

Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.

Many neglect due process for peaceful settlement.

They are busy going about, gossiping and backbiting, which evil practices are unnecessary.

Be Patient With Those Who Maltreat You

“If you owe anything to any man and cannot pay, or if a man shall claim a greater sum than is his due, it is not well that you dispute his claims. Resistance is the handiwork of anger. There is no mercy and no reason in a wrathful man. I tell you it is better far to suffer loss than go to law, or call upon the courts of men to judge of right and wrong. The law of carnal man would say, Eye for eye and tooth for tooth. Resist encroachment on your rights. But this is not the law of God. The Holy Spirit would say, ‘Resist not him who would deprive you of your goods.’
He who would take your coat by force is still a brother man and you should gain his heart, which by resistance cannot be done. Give him your coat and offer him still more and more. With time, the man will rise above the brute. You will have saved him from himself.”

"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek , turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.

Be Duly Generous
“Refuse not him who calls for help, and give to him who asks to borrow something.”

“Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.”

Exercise Patience

“And if a man shall strike you in a fitful or an angry way, it is not well to smite him in return. Men call him coward who will not fight and thus defend his rights. But he is much the greater man who is assailed, is smitten and does not smite. Who is maligned and answers not, than he who smites the smiter and reviles the one who slanders him.”

“It has been said in olden times that man shall love his friend and hate his foe. But, behold, I say, be merciful unto your foes. Bless those who slander you. Do good to those who do you harm and pray for those who trample on your rights. Remember, you are children of the God, who makes His sun to rise alike upon the good and the evil, who sends His rain upon the just and the unjust. If you do unto other men as they do unto you, you are but slaves, but followers in the way to death. But as children of the light, you must lead the way. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. When you do good to those who have done good to you, you do no more than other men. The publicans do that. If you salute your friends and not your foes, you are like other men, the publicans have set the pace.”

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the good and on the evil, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”

Man Is A Perfect God
“You have to become perfect as your Father-God in heaven is, by studying this Yahweh's Book Of Life and Spiritual Science, and by abiding by them.”

Jesus Explains The Meaning Of Marriage And Adultery
“The law forbids adultery. But in the eyes of law, adultery is an evident act, the satisfaction of the sensuous self outside the marriage bonds. Now, marriage in the sight of law is but a promise made by man and woman, by the sanction of a priest, to live for years in harmony and love. No priest nor officer has power from God to bind two souls in wedded love.

“What is the marriage tie?

Is it comprised in what a priest or officer may say?
Is it the scroll on which the officer or priest has written the permission for the two to live in marriage bonds?
Is it the promise of the two that they will love each other until death?
Is love a passion that is subject to the will of man?
Can man pick up his love, as he would pick up precious gems, and lay it down, or give it out to any one?
Can love be bought and sold like sheep?

“Love is the power of God that binds two souls and makes them one. There is no power on earth that can dissolve the bond. The bodies may be forced apart by man or death for just a little time. But they will meet again. Now, in this bond of God we find the marriage tie. All other unions are but bonds of straw (meaningless and fake), and they who live in them commit adultery. The same as they who satisfy their lust without the sanction of an officer or priest. But more than this, the man or woman who indulges in lustful thoughts commits adultery. Man cannot separate those whom God has joined together. All those who are joined together by man live in sin.”

"You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.”

Here are the explanations of what Jesus is saying above:

It is one spirit that divides into two spirits. The strong and mighty spirit indwells the body of a man and becomes the male, while the gentle and caring spirit indwells the female body and becomes a woman. Yet the two are still one. That is why Adam and Eve is called a hero. They are not regarded as heroes, not more than one hero, because the two are one person.

In effect, marriage is ready-made in spirit and in heaven. The two halves are destined to meet and accompany each other. But many fail to meet and unite in marriage with their right partners, because they refuse and fail to follow their respective destinies. Today, people are more interested in money and wealth, and are therefore, choosing such works, careers and opportunity that lead them away from their destinies, and even so they miss their true life partners.

And many are today marrying the wrong partner, because people marry to get money, to have connection, to get somebody beautiful or handsome, and to get earthly riches and wealth. Many reject their true partners, because the supposed person is not beautiful, rich or educated. In choosing wives or husbands for their children, the parents consider the wrong set of criteria, thereby worsening the situation. And that is why marriage failures and family crisis are increasing and multiplying.

And the religious leaders, ministers of God and their numerous religions, churches, ministries and fellowships are acting more wrongly, they are the worse set, because they do not go into the spirit to determine the right partners. They are wedding any man and woman that come to the altar asking for marriage, based on the support of two witnesses. Therefore, the religious leaders, ministers of God, the couple and their witnesses are all acting out of spiritual blindness, ignorance and laziness.

In other words, there is need to redefine certain terms like adultery, because a young man and woman who are into friendship are not committing adultery, if the two are each other’s right partner. Their friendship and companionship is good and true, made in heaven, even before they were born here on earth. Yet, the couple who have duly married, according to all standards and ceremonies set by humanity, may be busy committing adultery, because they are each marrying the wrong partner.

These explanations call for serious considerations and resetting of all human priorities, definitions, standards, decisions and actions.

Jesus Explains The Meaning Of Stealing
“Upon a tablet of the law, the great lawgiver wrote, ‘You shalt not steal.’ Before the eyes of law, a man to steal must take a thing that can be seen with eyes of flesh, without the knowledge or consent of him to whom the thing belongs. But, behold, I say that he who in his heart desires to possess that which is not his own, and would deprive the owner of the thing without the other’s knowledge or consent, is in the sight of God, a thief. The things that men cannot see with their eyes of flesh are of more worth than are the things that man can see. A man's good name is worth a thousand mines of gold, and he who says a word or does a deed that injures or defames that name has taken what is not his own, and is a thief.”

Jesus Examines The Meaning Of Covetousness
“Upon a tablet of the law we also read, ‘You shalt not covet anything.’ To covet is an all-consuming wish to have what is not right for one to have. And such a wish, within the spirit of the law, is theft.”

Jesus Explains The Meanings Of Lies And Fabrications
“The law has said, ‘You shalt not lie.’ But in the eyes of law, a man must tell in words what is not true to lie. Now, in the light of spirit law, deceit in any form is nothing but a lie. A man may lie by look or act. Yea, even by his silence may deceive, and thus be guilty in the eyes of Holy Spirit.” Many tell lie by pictures that are not true, and by comedies that are entertaining but false.

Jesus Teaches Against Swearing Oath
“It has been said in olden times, ‘You shalt not swear by your own life.’ But, behold, I say, swear not at all. Not by the head, the heart, the eye, nor hand, and not by the sun, the moon, nor stars. Not by the name of God, nor by the name of any spirit, good or bad. You shall not swear by anything. For in an oath there is no gain. A man whose word must be propped up by oath of any kind is not trustworthy in the sight of God or man.
“By oath you cannot make a leaf to fall, nor turn the colour of a hair. The man of worth just speaks and humanity know that he speaks the truth. The man who pours out many words to make people think that he speaks the truth, is simply making smoke to hide a lie.”

"Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.' But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.”

Explanations:

1. Whatever you swear with, you are bound to lose if your claims are wrong.

2. Since the earth and all its fullness belong to God, you do not have the right to swear with what you do not belong to you.

3. Swearing is an ego-boasting practice, which hinders spiritual growth and development.

4. Therefore, it is evil to swear.

5. We accomplish nothing by our own might. That is why God said, “Not by might nor by power, but by my spirit.”

6. Many are not faithful and steadfast, whenever there is hardship or sufferings.

Jesus Calls For Honesty And Faithfulness

“And there are many men with seeming double hearts, hypocrites. Men who would serve two masters at a time - two masters quite contrary. Men pretend to worship God upon the Sabbath Day and then pay court to Beelzebub on every other day.

“No man can serve two masters at a time no more than he can ride two asses that go in different ways, at the same time. The man who pretends to worship God and Beelzebub is foe of God, a pious devil and a curse of men.”

"No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."

Lay Up Treasures In Heaven

“And men cannot lay treasures up in heaven and earth at once. Then, behold, I say, lift up your eyes and see the safety vaults of heaven, and there deposit every gem. Where moth and rust cannot corrupt. Where thieves cannot break in and steal.
There are no safety vaults on earth. No place secure from moth, rust and thieves. The treasures of the earth are but illusive things that pass away. Be not deceived. Your treasures are the anchor of the soul, and where your treasures are, there your heart will be.”

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Explanations:

1. Give to people, help them, attend to their needs and provide for their well being.

2. Do so without expecting rewards, thanks, praises, force or persuasion.

3. Extend your love, services and kindness to all.

4. However, before you help somebody in this end time, first look at his dress. If his dress is indecent, dirty, unkempt, cultic, torn or worn out, do not help such people that are working for the kingdom of darkness.

5. You have a heavenly account. It is unfortunate that many do not know that they have heavenly accounts, just as you have earthly bank accounts. What is even more disappointing is the fact that they do not know how to lay up (increase) their heavenly accounts.

You lay up treasures in heaven for yourself by:

1. Extending your money and wealth to those around you.

2. Giving to the poor and needy.

Parable Of The Only Wise Man
         A thousand men went on a travel in search of precious pearls. When they got to a faraway city, they decided to settle down and live in the city. While they were residents in the city, they acquired various kinds of wealth: gold, silver, diamond, etc. They built houses and lived a life of affluence.
         Among the one thousand men was one wise man. He reasoned that the city was not his home. Therefore, each time he acquired a precious wealth, he sold it and sent the money home, to his bank account. After many years, he became a very rich man, and yet unknown in his city of residence. One day, there was a dispute in the city, and the dispute led to a war. It happened that all foreigners should leave the city. All strangers were not allowed to take even a little of their great wealth.
         When the thousand men returned to their home city, they became men of great poverty, living a wretched life. Only that wise man became abundantly rich and renowned.
         Interpretation: This parable explains the future of every person, who does not use earthly wealth to accumulate heavenly wealth. A wise man will use the little light he has to gain more light. There is no wisdom better than this.
         You accumulate heavenly treasures when you engage in:

1. Acts of Selflessness.

2. Charity.

3. Mercy.

4. Growing in spirit and in truth.

5. Support divine ministry, even if you are not a reverend minister.

6. Seeking and knowing the Truth.

7. When in abundance, you take what is enough for you, and give the rest to others.

8. Etc

Do Not Worry

“Fix not your heart upon the things of earth. Be anxious not about the things to eat, drink or wear. God cares for those who trust in Him and serve their destiny. Behold the birds! They praise God in their songs. The earth is made more glorious by their ministry of joy. God keeps them in the hollow of His hand, and not a sparrow falls down to the ground, without His knowledge and care. And every one that falls shall rise again.

“Behold the flowers of earth! They trust in God and grow. They make the earth resplendent with their beauty and perfume. Look at the lilies of the field, the messengers of holy love. No son of man, not even Solomon in all his excellence, was ever clothed like one of these. And yet they simply trust in God. They feed from His hand. They lay their heads to rest upon His breast – they do not worry and they trust God, who is faithful in His provisions for them.

If God so clothes and feeds the flowers and birds that do His will, will He not feed and clothe His children when they trust in Him?

"So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

"Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

Why The Children Of God Should Not Worry

1. The children of God, who live according to the will of God, by abiding in the paths of righteousness and Covenant System Of Worship, do not need to worry themselves, because God’s love ensures their wellbeing.

2. Usually, people encounter problems and worries in life, when they depart from the paths of righteousness and Covenant System Of Worship.

3. God Almighty and the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven already know about what you are thinking and worrying about.

4. The more you worry, the more you create health problems for yourselves.

5. Worrying does not solve problems and cannot prevent undesirable circumstances.

6. The best thing is to pray and hand over everything to God. Do not be among those who usually say that God is in control, but would not allow God to direct the affairs. From time to time, they say, “Let the will of God be done,” but are busy everyday doing all things just the way themselves want.

Seek First The Kingdom

Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the kingdom of the soul, and the righteousness of God, the good of the children of God, to feed, shelter and clothe them.”

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

The Golden Rule

“There is a rule that carnal man has made, and which he rigidly observes. The call it the Golden Rule. Do unto others men as they do unto you. As others judge, they judge. As others give, they give. Now, while you walk with men as men, judge not, and you shall not be judged. For as you judge, you shall be judged; and as you give, it shall be given to you. If you condemn, you are condemned.”

"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.”

People Reap What They Sow
“When you show mercy, men are merciful to you; and if you love in such a way that carnal man can comprehend your love, you will be well beloved. And so the wise man of this world does unto other men as he would have them do to him.

“The carnal man does good to other men for selfish gain, for he expects to have his blessings multiplied and then returned. He does not stop to note the end. Man is himself the field. His deeds are seeds, and what he does to others grows apace. The harvest time is sure.

“Behold the yield! If he has sown the wind, he reaps the wind. If he has sown the poisonous seeds of scandal, theft and hate, of sensuality and crime, the harvest is assured and he must reap what he has sown. Yes, even more. The seeds produce an hundred fold. The fruit of righteousness, peace, love and joy can never spring from poisonous seeds. The fruit is like the seed. And when you sow, sow seeds of right, because it is the right, and not in the way of trade, expecting rich rewards.”

Beware Of The Carnal Man

“The carnal man abhors the spirit law, because it takes away his liberty to live in sin. Beneath the light of the spiritual realities, called natural laws, he cannot satisfy his passions and desires. He is at enmity with him who walks in Holy Spirit. The carnal man has killed the holy men of old, the prophets and the seers. And he will strike you, will charge you falsely, scourge you and imprison you, and think he does the will of God to slay you in the streets.”

"Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.”

“But you may not prejudge nor censure him who does you wrong. Each one has problems to be solved, and he must solve them for himself and by himself. The man who scourges you may have a load of sin to bear.

But how about your own?
A little sin in one who walks in Holy Spirit is greater in the sight of God than monster sins in him who never knew the way.”

Why Spiritual Science Is Compulsory

“How can you see the splinter in your brother's eye, while you have chunks within your own?
First take the chunks out from your eye, and then you may behold the splinter in your brother's eye and help him take it out, and while your eyes are full of foreign things you cannot see the way, for you are blind. And when the blind lead forth the blind, both lose the way and fall into the pit. The religious leaders and ministers of God mislead the souls of humanity into the hell fire, because the religious leaders are as spiritually blind, ignorant and lazy, just as their multitudes of members and followers are. The blind few still lead the blind majority.

“If you would lead the way to God you must be clear in sight, by being spiritually knowledgeable and experienced, as well as by being pure in heart. Those who want to know and teach the truth must study Spiritual Science and this Yahweh's Book Of Life.”

"The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!”

Do Not Give What Is Holy To The Dog

“The various and precious fruits of the tree of life are all too fine to feed the carnal mind. If you would throw a diamond to a hungry dog, behold, he would turn away, or else attack you in a rage. The incense that is sweet to God is quite offensive unto Beelzebub. The bread of heaven is but chaff to men who cannot comprehend the spiritual life. Always spread the gospel and holy things to the children of God only, and not to everybody you see, because there are many people who are not among the children of God.”

Seek And You Will Find
“The master, who must be a spiritual scientist, must be wise and feed the soul with what it can digest. If you have not the food for every man, just ask and you shall have. Seek earnestly and you shall find. Just speak the Word and knock, and the door will fly open. No one has ever asked in faith and did not receive. None ever sought in vain. No one who ever knocked aright has failed to find an open door.”

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is part of the Law and the Prophets.”

Do Not Shy Away From Helping Other Children Of God

“When men shall ask you for the bread of heaven, do not turn away, nor give to them the fruit of carnal trees.

If one, a son, would ask you for a loaf, would you give him a stone?

If he would ask you for a fish, would you give him a serpent of the dust?
What you would have your God give to you, give to the children of God. The Measure of your worth lies in your service to men.”

“Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away. Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you." ”

The Narrow And Broad Ways
“There is a way that leads to the perfect life. Few find it at a time. It is a narrow way, because it demands self-control and discipline. It lies among the rocks and pitfalls of the carnal life. But in this way, there are no pitfalls and no rocks – many of what people call problems, challenges and hindrances are not, but are necessary tests to purify them and confirm them as trustworthy.
“And there is the broad way that leads to hell fire. It is a spacious way and many walk in it, because it is easy and enticing, full of the pleasures of carnal life.”

"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. But narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

Beware Of The False Ministers
“Beware, for many claim to walk the way of life but walk the way of death.
But they are false in word and deed. They are false prophets. They clothe themselves in skins of sheep, while they are vicious wolves. They cannot long conceal themselves. Men know them by their fruits. By their fruits you shall know them, and by their works you shall confirm them.

“You cannot gather grapes from thorns, nor get figs from the thistles. The fruit is daughter of the tree, and like the parent, so the child. And every tree that bears not wholesome fruit is plucked up by the roots and cast away.”

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”

Be Consistent

"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the Day Of Judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." Matthew 12:33-37

Explanations:

1. Saying bad or vulgar words is not allowed.

2. Speaking with harsh voice is a sin. Unfortunately, the film and video industry is spreading and promoting this evil practice. They call it “loud and clear”.

3. Everyone shall be judged for every idle word men spoken by him, in the Day Of Judgment.

Only Truth Shall Abide Forever

Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?"

But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch." Matthew 15:12-14

Explanations:

1. Every plant which the heavenly Father has not planted refers to man-made laws, doctrines and routines.

2. It also refers to the numerous man-made religions, churches, ministries and fellowships, as well as current science and technology, earthly education in place of the heavenly education, because they are the handiworks of the Satan and the kingdom of darkness. For example, the air conditioner which people cherish a lot is from the marine kingdom.

3. They are the false imaginations of ignorant religious leaders, which mislead multitudes into the hell fire.

Against Long And Repeated Prayers

“Because a man prays long and loud is not a sign that he is saint. It is not all the praying men that are in the kingdom of the soul. The man who lives the holy life, who does the will of God, abides within the kingdom of the soul. The good man from the treasures of his heart sends blessedness and peace to all the world. The evil man sends thoughts that blight and wither hope and joy and fill the world with wretchedness and woe.

Avoid Multitudes Of Words

This refers to people who think that God will hear them because of their long prayers or many words. It also against the people who use rosaries and beads, who keep on repeating one prayer statement many times.

All these practices are abominations. There is no prayers, said in the name of Mary that crosses the sky into the heavens.

Son of man, one statement of God has many explanations, and also has many spiritual meanings. That is why, as people read the Yahweh's Book Of Life, they have to observe all the necessary rites of holiness. They have to call in the Holy Spirit, because one word of God has several meanings, and has many teachings which are useful to the children of God. The rites of holiness prevents the evil spirits, demons, mermaids, ghosts, witches, idols, charms and black energies from coming in to misinterpret and mislead the children of God.

The Laws Are Still Compulsory

“Men think, act and speak out of the abundance of the heart. And when the judgement hour shall come, a host of men will enter pleadings for themselves and think to buy the favour of the judge with words. And they will say, ‘Lo, we have wrought a multitude of works in the Omnific name, have we not prophesied? Have we not cured all manner of disease? Have we not cast the evil spirits out of those possessed?’
And then the judge will say, ‘I know you not. You rendered service unto God in words when in your heart you worshipped Beelzebub. The evil one may use the powers of life, and do a multitude of mighty works. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.’”

"Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' ”

The Wise And Foolish Builders

“The man who hears the words of life and does not abide by them is like the man who builds his house upon the sand, which when the floods come on, is washed away and all is lost. But he who hears the words of life and in an honest, sincere, heart receives and treasures them and lives the holy life, is like the man who builds the house upon the rock. The floods may come, the winds may blow, the storms may beat upon his house. It is not moved. Go forth and build your life upon the solid rock of truth, and all the powers of the evil one cannot shake it.”

"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

"But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall."

And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having power and authority, and not as the Scribes. And Jesus finished all His sayings on the mount and then He, with the twelve, returned unto Capernaum.

Beware Of The False Ministers
Many people claim to be ministers of God. Truly, many are. Yet, there are many who are ministers of God but are not doing their work the way God wants. And there are many who are hypocrites, because they are self-appointed ministers of God. By their fruits you shall know them, and by their works you shall confirm them.

The Wise And Foolish Builders

Be Quick To Make Peace

"Yes, and why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right? When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, make every effort along the way to settle with him, lest he drag you to the judge, the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. I tell you, you shall not depart from there till you have paid the very last mite." Luke 12:57-59

Explanations:

1. The purpose of reincarnation is for people to remedy the wrongs they have committed in the present or previous lifetimes.

2. Disappointingly, many neglect this simple fact by acquiring more debts and sufferings for themselves.

3. By the time they find themselves inside the hell fire, it is already too late for them to get salvation.

4. It is better to make peace and settle with your contender, than to go to court, and from the court go to prison.

5. It is only a foolish man, who would spend his hard-earned money, to hire the services of lawyers, most of whom are devils in human clothing, because they neither fear God nor obey His word.

Repent Before It Is Too Late

There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish." Luke 13:1-5

Explanations:

1. People suffer bad fate in life, not necessarily because they are evil or sinners.

2. If such disasters and calamities can be fall the innocent people, then understand how terrible the hell fire is on the unrepentant sinners, and you should do everything possible to avoid hell.
