Ratings and reviews

Unfortunately it is not by Works you will enter into the Kingdom of God but By Gods Spirit Gal 1-11-12 11 Furthermore, let me make clear to you, brothers, that the Good News as I proclaim it is not a human product; 12 because neither did I receive it from someone else nor was I taught it — it came through a direct revelation from Yeshua the Messiah. CJB Bible.. Paul says It is not by mans or any of the church teaching he was taught but by the Holy Spirit. Many feel they can enter into a relationship with God by works, but their works are dead because they Boast of their own works taking away from God and their reward is with them today Dead. Some enter into Seminary just to find a job or work that is not hard on the body and become Phd. Not led of God but selfish desires. but truly God does not dwell with that man so many have the Wolf who climbed over the wall putting on the sheep clothing to teach only similar fable because their words are much less effective from mans own words and power. John10 “Yes, indeed! I tell you, the person who doesn’t enter the sheep-pen through the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 But the one who goes in through the gate is the sheep’s own shepherd. 3 This is the one the gate-keeper admits, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep, each one by name, and leads them out. 4 After taking out all that are his own, he goes on ahead of them; and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice. 5 They never follow a stranger but will run away from him, because strangers’ voices are unfamiliar to them.” The Spirit when He comes gives life a more abundant life a New life Born not of water but by His Spirit. Let God do his work seek first the Kingdom of God and All Heavenly Blessings will follow
