The Offspring Of God (Acts 17:28)

Updated: Jun 29

Hebrews 3:12-19

Authorized (King James) Version

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Confront & Correct

When people are wrong about you,

You confront them and correct them about being wrong about you.

Jesus said,

Matthew 18:15-20

Authorized (King James) Version

15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. 18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Treat the Church Special

Take Wrong & Suffer Yourselves to be Defrauded

Don't Call the Cops on the Church

See Your Pastor Instead

1 Corinthians 6:1-11

Authorized (King James) Version

6 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. 7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

The Lord's Offspring

After I wrote this, I got vibrations back on it from the Holy Ghost. He said, "You need to treat your people right". God is calling your church your people. I know what this means. Your people include your church group. Being a Christian is a family thing. The biggest issue in church is the salvation of our loved ones. We want to spend forever with the people we love i.e. our family and friends. But if they don't make it, we have another people, our church family, and sometimes, they love us more than our natural offspring. If our church people make it to heaven, this is who we will spend our eternity in heaven with. Thus, says the Lord, "treat your people right". This means to treat your church family like your family. Your church family are your spiritual family. To paraphrase "spiritual family", is to say that your church family are your "True" family.

So, treat them right, as God's commands us to. And to treat your people right, means to do 1 Cor. 6:7, which is to say, paraphrased, take wrong, suffer yourselves to be defrauded and call your pastor, not the cops on them. If anyone is going to jail, let the pastor, not yourselves, call the cops. That's his job. We have to have our house in order to work for Jesus in church and represent Him to the community.

Thus says the Holy Ghost,

1 Timothy 3:1-5

Authorized (King James) Version

3 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (for if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?).

Some will say to me, that, they have the right to call the cops on other church members without the pastor. You have a secular right to. But the Holy Spirit, the author of all scripture (2 Tim. 3:15-17) commands us in 1 Cor. 6:7 to take wrong and suffer yourselves to be defrauded by your family in church. Will you call the cops on your son or daughter or your wife? Treat the church the same, but keep your natural offspring in priority over the general population in church. Treat your church group with the same love and value as your natural family. But keep your wife & kids in priority over them, because we cannot help others until we learn to do so by keeping our natural family in order.

God first, wife & kids second. Your intermediate family, third. This would be the people you grew up with. Parents, grandparents, siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins and their kids. Your natural race; your people, fourth. Your church family, fifth. Treat them all with the same family values. That's what the Holy Ghost is hinting at in these passages.

Says the Lord

Come Out from Among the World,

Be Separate and Touch Not the Unclean Thing

Amos 3:3

Authorized (King James) Version

3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

Authorized (King James) Version

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 and what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

The Lord Jesus says to get rid of people who won't listen to God & authority in Mt. 18:17. This means to stop hanging around disobedient Christians, just like you no longer go to bars or parties because you're a born-again Christian (Ti. 3:9-11). In Mt. 18:17 when Jesus commands us to treat a Christian that won't listen like a pagan and a publican, it means to treat him like a heretic (Ti. 3:9-11) and an unbeliever (2 Cor. 6:14-18).

In Jesus' time, publicans were considered traitors to Israel because they were contracted with Rome to tax them. They were working for those who had Israel as slaves. They were taking money from their people and giving it to those who made them slaves. Jesus is saying that Christians are like them who won't listen to God. They're traitors to God. They've betrayed the Lord with their disobedience. "Traitor"! We are traitors to God if we won't love & listen to Jesus for our good (Rom. 8:26-28).

There're no common denominators between Christians and unbelievers (2 Cor. 6:14-18). We don't fellowship with people like that because they're living in sin, and if you become friends with them, their sinful lifestyle will grow on you and corrupt your obedience to God.

1 Corinthians 15:33

Authorized (King James) Version

33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

1 Corinthians 15:33

Complete Jewish Bible

33 Don’t be fooled. “Bad company ruins good character.”

1 Corinthians 15:33

Living Bible

33 Don’t be fooled by those who say such things.

If you listen to them, you will start acting like them.

James 4:1-4

Authorized (King James) Version

4 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

John 17:14-18

Authorized (King James) Version

14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

Don't Keep Company with Christians who are

Unfaithful to God

1 Corinthians 5:9-13

Authorized (King James) Version

9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10 yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Matthew 7:17-18

Authorized (King James) Version

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

James 3:2-12

Authorized (King James) Version

2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. 4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell {Lk. 16:24}. 7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: 8 but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

"Your New Name is Shame"

Says the Lord Jesus

And the Holy Spirit

Revelation 3:14-22

Authorized (King James) Version

14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Matthew 25:14-30

Authorized (King James) Version

14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. 16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. 19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. 21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25 and I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27 thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The false prophet, the Pharisee, religious tenet, the Laodicean Christian, the flesh, is not going to make it to heaven. This Christian in vv. 24-30 was saved & anointed by God with a spiritual gift from 1 Cor. 12:7-11. But he lost his salvation on judgement. He called Jesus Lord but didn't listen to Him. Thus, the Lord Jesus didn't know him.

Knowing the Voice of the Lord

(Jn. 10)

The Lord showed me what He means about knowing His Voice that I want to share with you to pass on the understanding so that you may understand and use it to get to heaven.

Today, the Lord & Hiss angels got me out of bed and back here to this message because they were talking o to me about. They asked if I understood what God was saying to me in this post. I said that I understand that God knows me because I have been baptized into the Holy Spirit. And I got confirmation on this from Howard Pittman at the end of his message in the link. His fifth point message from God from his visitation from God for 15 minutes in the ambulance, is about the baptism into the Holy Spirit. You know God and God knows you when the Holy Spirit comes upon your body like in Acts 2. I take comfort in this truth. However, God is concerned about me listening to Him.

This is what God showed me about what He means by listening to Jesus to make it to heaven in Mt. 7:21-24. To listen to Jesus is the will of God (Jn. 6:40). Listen to Jesus talking to you personally everyday. Know His Spirit in you. Not get the Bible and find out what to do by yourself. Read the Bible and let the Holy Spirit give you the scriptures in your private time with Him.

This is what happened. The Lord told me that listening to Howard Pittman's testimony today and editing this post, was my time with Him for today.

I started reading the Bible aloud and the Holy Spirit said to be quiet and let Howard talk to me on my TV. I was reading the Bible but my time with God was to listen to the Holy Spirit speaking with Howard to me. God was talking to me through Howard Pittman, not the Bible at that time. The Holy Spirit said for me to listen to Howard Pittman on my TV, not read the Bible. So, when I read the Bible out loud, that wasn't God's Voice. His Voice was in my TV at that time.

Do you see the difference? The Laodicean Christian doesn't know the Lord, but they read His Bible. But that Bible isn't God's Voice if they don't have the Holy Spirit (God) inside them. People that don't know God, the Holy Spirit through the baptism into the Holy Spirit, won't understand the Bible. We have to have the Holy Spirit inside us through the baptism into the Holy Spirit to understand the Bible when we read it. When we do, it will be God talking to us when we read it if that's how God the Spirit wants to talk to us for that day.

Do you see? Only those who have the Holy Spirit in them will know the Voice of the Lord. He doesn't just speak in the Bible. If you read the Bible and are not baptized into the Holy Spirit, that is not God's Voice. God's Voice is in the Holy Spirit and whatever way He chooses to talk to us, is the Voice of God. It's not the Bible if it's not the Bible that the Holy Spirit is using to talk to you at the time. You have to know the Lord through the baptism into the Holy Spirit to be able to discern the Voice of God.

When you are baptized into the Holy Spirit, God knows you, unlike the false prophets in Mt. 7:15-23. Only when the Holy Spirit is inside you are you going to understand the Bible because He will talk to you and make you understand what the verses are talking about (1 Cor. 2).

If you don't have the Holy Spirit inside you, you will be like Howard Pittman was before he died. He read the Bible, but he didn't know the Lord. So, he didn't understand the Bible because the Holy Spirit was not inside him (1 Cor. 2).

When I sat down quietly and turned up the TV with Howard Pittman talking to me in the Spirit, in obedience to the Spirit because I love Him, that's what it means to listen to Jesus in Mt. 7:24. God's will is for us to listen to Jesus. Jesus speaks through the Spirit in a daily personal relationship with Him. To hear God's Voice like this is called "Communion" and "fellowship with the Holy Spirit" (2 Cor. 13:14). Ahhh...so satisfying to sit at Jesus' feet and hear His Word.

Luke 10:38-42

Authorized (King James) Version

38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42 but one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

John 10:14, 26, 27

Authorized (King James) Version

14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

1 Corinthians 2

Authorized (King James) Version

2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7 but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Luke 11:9-13

Authorized (King James) Version

9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Also, the Holy Spirit says that this post pertains to your Christian family in church, not unbelievers in the world. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit says through the Apostle Paul in 1 Cor. 5:9-11 that to not have problems with people, that we would have to go out of the world completely. As long as we are in the world, we will have trouble with unbelievers (Jn. 16:33/ 2 Tim. 3:12-16). Thus, says the Lord, that you are to call the police on unbelievers (Rom. 13:1-4). To deal with people in the world not in church, get yourself an attorney to represent you in court with them. Go to your pastor first, but because these are not Christians in your church that you're having problems with, to have a lawyer to defend your rights. Your pastor will have Christian lawyers & Christian cops you can call. So, if you're having problems with people, make an appointment with your pastor.

1 Corinthians 5:9-11

Authorized (King James) Version

Don't even eat with Christians who won't listen to God, the church or civil authority.

9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10 yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

Romans 13:1-4

Living Bible

13 Obey the government, for God is the one who has put it there. There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. 2 So those who refuse to obey the laws of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow. 3 For the policeman does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So, if you don’t want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. 4 The policeman is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he will have you punished. He is sent by God for that very purpose.

Furthermore, the Holy Spirit says Lk. 22:36 and Heb. 11:35. This is how to deal with people who want to kill you. You don't have to be a martyr as a Christian and let people kill you. The Holy Spirit says in Heb. 11:35 that martyrdom is a choice. It's up to you to accept deliverance or die as a testimony. If you choose not to be a martyr, Jesus says in Lk. 22:36 to buy yourself a weapon and kill in self-defense. To kill in self-defense is not murder. Murder is to shed innocent blood (Pr. 6:16-18). The people who want to kill you are not innocent. You got a reason to kill them to save your life from them. Your Christian testimony. This post is about your Christian testimony. From not calling unbelieving cops on your fellow Christians, to killing in self-defense. God doesn't want His church to be victims.

Self-Defense

Submit to the Authorities

1 Peter 2:12-14

Authorized (King James) Version

{Paraphrased}

12 having your {Christian lifestyle} honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works {your Christian testimony}, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14 or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

Hebrews 13:17

Authorized (King James) Version

17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

As Christians, we need to submit to the law when it comes to self-defense. Jesus said in Lk. 22:36 that when people are trying to kill you like they were Him on the day that He was killed, to get a weapon and protect yourself.

The law has a lot of morals and good laws to submit to. As a Christian, I was surprised at the morality of the lawmakers in law, because they were telling me things that I would not have thought about.

For example, God said in Lk. 22:36 to use a weapon to protect yourself from people. There are laws on carrying guns and knives for self-defense that we need to submit to. You need to do gun training and learn when to use it. You can't just pull out a gun and shoot someone who starts a fight with you. Neither can you carry any knife. The knives need to be no longer than your palm. That's about 3 inches long. If you carry a knife with a blade that's longer than 3 inches, it's a court date if you get caught.

If someone breaks in your house, the laws differ from state to state. In California, you can only shoot someone inside your house. In New York, you can shoot someone on your porch. This means that if someone is in your house trying to rob or endangering you and your family's safety and health, that in California, they have to be inside your house to shoot them in self-defense, otherwise it's called "murder". In New York, if they run outside your door, you can shoot them on your porch or inside your house. If they're on your porch and commit a crime and haven't broken into your house, you can shoot them there. Otherwise, it's called "murder".

These laws on self-defense are made with the morality of the value of human life in mind by the lawmakers. So, this means that the trespasser has a right to live too after committing crimes on you. So, we need to study the law to know what's legal in self-defense so that if you shoot or stab someone in a fight, that you win and stay out of jail.

There are varying laws in each state on Weapon's Permits. They got different terms for carrying a gun. Gangs are about survival. So, they just grab a gun and shoot to survive. But as a Christian, we need to submit to the laws about carrying a pistol.

In California and a lot of other states, felons can't carry a firearm. But they can buy and carry black powder guns. Also called "muskets" and "cap & ball revolvers". According to federal law (federal law means the law is the same for all states), a firearm is a gun that has a chamber that shoots bullets with the primer in the case. A primer inside the casing.

You got a bullet, with gunpowder in the case and a bullet sealed on top with a primer on the butt of the case. You load the bullets into a revolver chamber or into a magazine. The gun has a hammer that hits the primer on the bullet shell in the chamber that ignites the gunpowder inside the case and fires the bullet. That's a firearm according to the feds and California and felons are not allowed to purchase and/or possess them.

However, a black powder gun is a musket. The kinds of guns they shot back in the wild west days. They got a chamber with nipples on the end where you place caps, yes, just like caps in a toy cap gun at Walmart. Also called primers. Then you got the bullet cylinder on the other end of the chamber where you pour the black powder and ram down the lead ball on top of the black powder. When you pull the trigger, the hammer hits the cap/ primer and starts an ignition that fires the black powder and shoots the lead ball. But this is not a toy gun.

They are good for self-defense for felons who can't purchase or possess a firearm because the Gov calls them "ball & cap revolvers" and not firearms. However, they are fatal. North Dakota calls them firearms. Here's the law about them.

What is a firearm in North Dakota?

North Dakota law defines a "firearm" as any device that can expel a projectile using an explosive, including pistols, rifles, shotguns, and cannons. Muzzleloading rifles and shotguns are included in this definition.

Can I carry a gun in North Dakota without a permit?

* North Dakota's Permitless Carry law is limited to state residents; specifically, those not otherwise precluded from possessing a class 2 firearm license and who have possessed for at least 30 days a valid driver's license or non-driver ID card issued by the North Dakota department of transportation.

See what they're saying? North Dakota says that muzzleloaders, or muskets and black powder guns are firearms because they shoot a projectile, or lead ball. Felons can't get a permit to carry firearms in North Dakota, nor get a permit for a muzzleloader.

You don't need a permit to carry a firearm in North Dakota if you are not a felon. All you need is a valid driver's license to identify yourself for the check for gun restriction. But if you are a felon, you can't purchase or possess even a black powder gun or muzzleloader like the rest of the states, because it fires a projectile, and a projectile can kill someone.

North Dakota is concerned about killing people with projectiles while California is concerned about a gun chamber made to fire bullets with the primer or cap inside the bullet casing. Thus, black powder guns are not firearms according to the feds and California.

North Dakota state Government takes opposition against that law. However, the 2nd Amendment says that you have the right to kill someone in defense of life. North Dakota doesn't want to get shot when they commit crimes on you. California and the feds say go ahead and shoot them. Jesus too says in Lk. 22:36 that we can kill people in defense of life. North Dakota is saying that you can't kill people who try to kill you. But the feds, California and God say you can.

Note that government calls the cops that made these North Dakota laws "gay" because they don't want to get killed when they try to kill you. A straight man will kill you if you try to kill him and the feds, California and the Lord support him in this. North Dakota are prissy gay men who say that you can't kill someone who attacks you. In California and most states, a muzzleloader is not a firearm, and you can carry one without a permit, if you're a felon.

A head's up to felons in the U.S. about muzzleloaders. You can look on YouTube and search in the box for things like "Guns that felons can carry", and you will see a lot of videos made by people trying to help defend felons with federal laws on purchasing and possessing firearms. In other words, there's a lot of air rifles and homemade guns that are more deadly than firearms that are legal for you to carry as a felon, because they are not firearms according to law.

If you're restricted from firearms due to prior felony convictions, someone who is not, can put one of their guns into your name and give it to you. That's legal to own as a felon. Also, you can make your own firearms. Homemade firearms are legal for felons. This is called "gunsmithing". A lot of felons make their own guns. Just look on YouTube. See the YouTube videos at the end of this post about guns that felons can carry.

Felons can purchase, possess and carry crossbows, 12g flare guns (these will literally blow someone's head off at close range or set someone on fire who's trying to kill you) PCP rifles and air guns and rifles.

PCP rifles are guns with air chambers that shoot from compressed air or nitrogen. The Benjamin Bulldog PCP Bore rifle is one of the deadliest air rifles out there. More deadly than a 22 and a 25 and a 32. You also got the AEA Terminator 9mm/357 PCP Bore rifle. One of the deadliest bore guns out there.

A bore rifle is a rifle made to kill bores; wild pigs, that run around on your property. If you don't know, a wild boar will eat your kids if they're unattended. That's why you need to keep your doors closed out in the country because bores will walk in your door and eat your baby. Lots of people have found half eaten babies and a half-eaten baby still in the mouth of the boar.

Also, the Benjamin Bulldog was made to kill wild bulldogs out in the country. Dogs roam around out in the woods. People have said that wild dogs will walk in your house and try to eat you and your kids. Bulldogs are the most dangerous because they their jaws lock when they bite into you. People made this PCP air rifle to kill them and the wild boars.

They also kill deer, bears and people. Basically, these guns are made for felons for defense against wild animals and human predators. Like people trying to rob people out in the country because no one will see or hear them to help them. I have a lot of these weapons.

I came from a gang in Los Angeles and there are gang rules that got nothing to do with the value of human life like the law does. The police call gang rules "Excessive Deadly Force", "Deadly Force" and "Excessive Force". These terms mean you rip someone's head off for calling you a name or looking at you wrong.

The law is more moral in making laws on equality and self-defense. No offense to my old gang. We know that this is true, and people you commit crimes on don't listen to law. So, the gangs act with deadly force on them. But to be a Christian, you got to change that gang mentality and listen to God about submitting to authority.

I recommend getting yourself a copy of the civil codes in your county and state and study them. In California they have the California Penal Codes.

The Lord took me to my pastor after I wrote this. What I mean is that on the way back from a restaurant, he walked out of his church's front door when I drove by. When your pastor walks out the front doors of your church just when you are driving by, that means that God wants to talk to you. So, I waved and pulled over for a talk.

I told him about this message, and he quoted Mt. 5:44: love your enemies and Heb. 3:12: a hardened heart that doesn't listen to God. I concluded that to mean to love your enemies instead of shoot them.

A hardened heart with no God's love in it. Jesus said that people's love will wax cold in the end times due to abounding iniquity (Mt. 24:13). Abounding iniquity is the root of persecution against Christians. Jesus calls abounding iniquity "trespasses against you" in Mt. 18:15.

When people trespass against you, it causes your heart and the love of God in it; your heart's love, to wax cold. When this happens, it's called a hardened heart of unbelief that departs from God, instead of listens to Him. That hardness the Holy Spirit calls "the root of bitterness" in Heb. 12:15.

God told me today that the cure for a hardened heart, is church fellowship. He says that if people don't start going to church, that they will not get cured of a hardened heart. He says again that going to church will fix a hardened heart. Being around other Christian's and their love and encouragement in church, is the cure for unbelief and a hardened heart: unbelief, or, not listening to God, that comes from bitterness (Heb. 10:24, 25).

Thus, the heart is the issue God is concerned about. We need Doctor Jesus the heart healer (Mk. 2:17). The Holy Spirit in Heb. 3:12 calls this heart condition of unbelief that comes from a heart hardened by bitterness and trespass, an evil heart. You may have the Holy Spirit in you praying for you (Rom. 8:14-28), but if your love has waxed cold from fights, you're evil. However, remember how much God loves you keeps in His hands (Jn. 10:27-30).

Hebrews 3:12-19

Authorized (King James) Version

{Paraphrased}

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But {encourage} one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

The Lord says,

"This is the root of bitterness you're seeing in yourself. A hardened heart that doesn 't listen . I 'm going to heal it with My ways . You don't need a gun. That's what the devil wants. All you need to do is talk {use the sword of His word the Bible, instead of a gun - Eph. 6:17/ Isa. 54:16, 17} to them about Me {witness - Mt. 28:19, 20/ Mk. 16:15-18}, and that'll fix the problem {with them}".

Forgive Trespasses

As we said earlier, the Holy Spirit said that going to church will cure with love & encouragement the cold love that people get from fights with unbelievers in the world. The Lord also said that we need to forgive trespasses in Mt. 18:35.

Jesus said the word "brother" in this verse, Mt. 18:35, This scripture is about forgiving the trespasses of other Christians in church. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit says right now that most trespasses come from unbelievers outside of church in the world (2 Tim. 3:12/ 1 Pt. 4:12-19), because that is where we spend most of our time in life. Such as at home with unbelieving neighbors or at work with unbelieving co-workers and bosses. The Lord wants us to exercise our spiritual forgiveness muscles with unbelievers bearing in mind that Jesus said God will deliver us to the torturers of hades; the devil and his angels in hell, if we do not forgive others for their trespasses because God has forgiven our trespasses against Him. We can make the unbeliever our brother in church (Pr. 16:7) and forgive them because Jesus forgave His enemies that killed Him instead of killed them (Lk. 22:34).

Love Your Enemies

1 Peter 4:12-19

Authorized (King James) Version

12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Matthew 18:21-35

Authorized (King James) Version

21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. 24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. 29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: 33 shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. 35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

Matthew 5:43-48

Authorized (King James) Version

Love Your Enemies

43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
