the bride of Jesus, armed and dangerous with the word, a pastor told a story once, he told his wife he needed healing he was sick or something, and she went for the gallon of corn oil, and said no your not, and started pouring the whole gallon all over his head, it went on everything, all the while saying in Jesus name, I claim healing. Armed, yes DAngerous, yes, yes, and yes.

[h=1]LUke 9:62[/h]
This is what the Lord Jesus declares in Luke 9:62.
Luke 9:62. But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
[h=2]Discipleship[/h]
In this verse, the Lord Jesus tells us very clearly that it is possible for a person to be unfit for the kingdom of God, even though he puts his hand to the plow. What does He mean by that?
Let’s look at this passage closely. Jesus says these words after a man came to Him. This would-be disciple makes this promise in v. 61. Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house. We studied the rest of this passage, from v. 57 to v. 62, in our previous lesson but we did not pay particular attention to v. 62. This is what we are going to do in this lesson.
Here in v. 62, the Lord Jesus teaches us that the only kind of person who is fit for the kingdom of God does two things: he puts his hand to the plow (which is the basic condition) and he doesn’t look back.
The first point we observe is the universal application of this verse. ‘No one. No man. Any man who puts his hand to the plow.’ This word ‘no one’ is very often used in the Lord’s teaching to introduce a general principle that applies to any person. Anyone who puts his hand to the plow and looks back, no matter whether he is a pastor, a missionary, a Sunday school teacher, any disciple of Christ, if he puts his hand to the plow and he looks back, he will thereby prove that he is not fit for the kingdom of God. What this ‘not fit for the kingdom of God’ means, we shall see later in this lesson.

Sooooo there's a lot of ripped threads, and then rethreaded again, and needled some nerves, of once saved always saved.
Read them over and didn't find this one scripture no where near.
This is saying clearly, if you put your hand, or heart to being in obedience as a servant to follow the Lord, or to me putting the hand to the plow, is like work, it could mean a lot of things, but to me it means, trying to follow Christ.
It takes time to plow a garden as try producing your spiritual fruits, there, it takes endurance, persistance, and determination, especially, when the wicked ones come around to thread on your work.
One of the fruits is patience. No one coming to the knowledge of Christ, is programed, but perfected.
EVen the Lord specified that we are as babies first, when we get to know him, and first as babies, drink the milk, and as we grow spiritually, we then partake of the deeper insights, and wisdoms, that the holy spirit has for us, and that takes time, to grow, and time to know him, more and more.
So we could try working on one fruit, and maybe it'll take a lifetime to be perfected but the good thing is that we are trying, and God knows about it.
But on the other hand, this is saying if you turn back, as some say, once saved always saved, is not true.
For this word is saying, then you are not fit for God's kingdom.
It took a very long time for me to be where I am spiritually today, it did not happen over night, neither a year, nor two, but a very long time.
If we sin, and truly are sorry, and repent, God does hear us, and does not cast us off. I know this, but being rooted and grounded, in the word, it is not that easy to get swayed, and taken away by sin.
The bible says, this.
That the foolish man, built his house upon sand, and the storms of life visited him here, and there, and great was the destruction of his life.
Then the wise man built his house upon the Rock, and the waves, and winds, the storms came around, but it stood.
Get rooted and grounded in him, deep calls unto deep.

Romans 5:20
But where sin abounded, Grace did much more abound.
***********
I get a newsletter from a ministry, and it is really good.
If we look at the negatives too long, things will start to get dark.
This scripture is a perfect reminder that in the midst of evil, there is a power
that has conquered, and won, and is living, it it the living word, the word became alive,
and in every circumstance in life, he is with us, Jesus.
Be encouraged today, keep your eyes on him, for we walk by faith, and not by sight,
Where sin is,, the glory of his manifestations is there and if we look to him, those other things will become as nothing.
But where sin abounded, Grace did much more abound.

Were to love life, people, and God with all our heart, soul, and mind. The love of other things is putting the Lord aside, and at times it becomes an idol. Money is not evil, it has helped millions, but when a bribe is taken to hurt another, then it becomes more than evil, it becomes a root of evil in you, growing, and eventually dries your spirit, unto destruction like Idol worshiping does.
*The love of money for this cause, is called a root. From it derives all kinds of evils, greed for one. Covetousness, get what your neighbor has, which is one of the ten commandments, and murder for hire.

Sometimes life takes you as a current places you didn't want to be, things you didn't want to hear. No problem, there is a solution to this. Avoid it, forget it, and as the Lord made a way of escape, there is a spiritual line, saying, don't cross here evil, or you will pay, and don't go cross onto the evil territory either.
The problem with this, is although, it could be said, it is remediated, evil, or temptations, retaliations, come into the mind, as whispers, from demonic cohorts, which are unclean spirits, *wanting to buy you cheap for a mission, with money to do some kind of evil, not knowing your being set up by evil, for it's purpose is to rob, steal from you, the most valuable thing, Love from your heart, and freedom, and destroy you, this is a scripture. The Pope talks about the devil, he is very aware of people being possessed by it, and have exorcisms, some people are really possessed by demons, by this very fact, the demonic bribe just as the devil told Jesus when he was in the desert fasting, he showed him the gold, the glitter, and not the litter, if he would bow to him, and worship him, Jesus said, The Lord rebuke you satan, for ONLY the LORD THY GOD shall thou worship. He made it very known, that there is only one God. Everything else could be called an idol.

Most of us believers know the story about Leah, and her sister Rachel, that Jacob was tricked into marrying, and didn't even know it wasn't her, in a drunken stupor. Till after, as Jacob, once tricked his father, for a blessing, he reaped what he once sowed, as a curse unto him, marrying a women he didn't love, and having to work for another bride 7 more years or more.*
A lot of emphesis is put on, about RAchel, how beautiful she was. After Jacob married her, she was barren, for a long time, as her sister produced 11 sons, and one daughter Dina for Jacob, and Rachel had 2 sons, Joseph, and BEnjamin, who she died after giving birth to Benjamin.
The behind the curtain secrets of Rachel, is and was not superfical skin deep beauty, within she was an Idol worshipper.
She had those little idols, that Jacob found hidden, all these years, and didn't know whether she was using them to call unto her Gods, for fertility, and made herself, an Idol because of her beauty, just as Lucifer, who was once God's chosen, adorned most beautifullest angel, got into pride, and was removed thrown out of heaven, for there is no sin, there, neither, hate, nor the other ungodly sins, that take control and make idols in the hearts of men, instead of loving a loving God, with all their mind, heart, and strength, which is your decision of your will to do so, your choice.*
What ever reasons, God only gave her two children, this could of been that reason, he detests idol worshipping, and says, he will destroy idol worshippers.
I am not kidding, if you read what happened on the way to the promised land from Egypt, where God opened the REd SEa, and did many miracles, they made themselves a golden calf, took all the*women's*earrings, gold etc. and shined it, and worshipped it, and God did destroy them those idol worshippers in that desert.
Rachel died, I don't know why, but God said, he will destroy Idol worshipping, is money your Idol, you might be next in line.
What would some people do for bribes, just to have that cash, drive a new car, a new T.V. it's that same trap, the devil used against Jesus, but Jesus wouldn't bow, or listen to a*deceiver, many have because they are weak, and tempted.
They also will be destroyed, this the word of God, has said, not only them.

*This is not saying you need to be broke, busted, and disgusted, with a old car, no you earned it go get it, in the book of Ecclesiates, it says, what is life, that you should enjoy it, with your hard labor, this is talking about bribes, theft, bank heists, child sex slavery, prostitution, all for money. Other things people do for it, against a human life, that God has created, therefore, he is correct saying, if you love idols, and have no love for human life or the*sanctity*of it, or virtues, you will be destroyed quickly, and very easily by God. Don't think your sins wont find you out. They always do, even you find yourself sitting in a dark place in your own spirit, the prison you bought for yourself, with it.
*GEttng someone to cooperate with you, is getting satan as your Dr. to take your heart out, the very essence of any drop of blood left to love. It will become your operation, as he get's you into that cooperation.*

*AS he get's you into that temptation, you are now a slave to sin, rooted deep, with no way out, only through the Power of the Lord Jesus Christ, only he has that strength, to break those chains, he fought against evil, and won. Go to him, and he is someone you could TRUST with you life. Hand your life over to him. *I'm not blaming no human being for being in the chains of bondage. I was once a slave to sin, myself, there was a time schools offered, the time to pray, and had a bible in class, now they offer you condems, and have witchcraft books in the place of the bible. I'm not blaming you. I love you, just as I feel the love of Jesus within me, I'm just a vessel, he's calling you. He loves you, and wants you to be with him home in heaven some day. Take all your money, and give it to the poor. This is what Jesus said, to do. Lord, the schools don't talk about you, the churches play games with you, Jesus is the only way, the only truth, he is the only way to the father, their is no other way. I don't hate gay people, hate is a very hatefull word, I will say this, I think that God's word and his plans are the best, and I go with that, I know sometimes I seemed to be a little harsh about the topic, but I feel convicted about it, so I repent now of that condemnation upon others. Holiness to me, is this; let the meditations, of my heart, and the words of my mouth, be*pleasing*unto thee oh Lord, said, typed, signed, it should please him. I am in prayer for you.*

There have been some stern words I was lead to tell you here, there is a chance to repent. I had this feeling a while back, it ended up many were arrested. Don't make this mistake, God values people, he values your life, you are being given a chance to change, small change, sometimes makes people humble a few coins, a lot of money brings arrogance, and a false sense of feeling you could conquer the world, this is a lie, you will die, in your sins, if you don't repent. Judas who betrayed our Lord and Savior Jesus the Anointed one , for 30 pieces of Silver, there is one catch in sinning, you were not made for it, it destroys, he hung himself, because of the guilt, the one thing that will haunt and follow you, is you. Then taking your life is another murder, it just won't end there, those evil spirits will then go on your children, and their children, this is called the generational curse's of the parents.*

Exodus 34:7*- Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation].
*Be merciful, and you will be shown mercy, but your sin will go upon your own children, unto many generations, it will be repeated, what you sow, is what your leaving behind for them to reap.

Too many carmeles, or carmelos, will make your teeth stick together, and you won't be able to open your mouth to say, HALLELUJAH GLORIA DIOS, or Praise God! *Don't try to tame your demons, with a whip, like a live circus, the lion stands on the chair, and you with the whip.
