James 4:8 Come close to Go.d and Go.d will come close to you.
The first book in the bible is the book of Genesis. When Adam the first created man, partook of the forbidden tree, and he went into hiding. He was afraid. Go.ds spirit walked with man, and he called Adam and said where are you, Adam said I was afraid and hid, because of what he did. A current in the deep waters of the Ocean, is a dark area of water, that can or not be seen, either above or under. There are many things that pull us away from Go.ds presense either in prayer, worship reading, etc. The dark place that pulls us farther and further away from his presence. Caught in fear, guilt, condenmation, hoplessnes, depression, what ever it is, that is a place of darkness in the spirit. It draws us further away, like a current. Turbulent, troubled dark dangerous waters, that no one could survive in it for long. There is a life savor, that isn't mentioned along with the other famous people's quotes, ann frank, the presidents, Martin l. KIng, buddah, all people's quotes, but there is no where in the school or books about the quotes of Yeshua. Jesus. Not taught as a quote of "love your neighbor as yourself." Nothing, why.

Heres a very beautiful memory that never leaves me. Years ago in this town walking, and at the corner, as we were waiting for the light to change, and young son and his dad were walking and the boy had a book holding it close to his heart. He asked his father something he learned in Catechism class, the child spoke in an angelic tone, so reverenced to his learning that day, as he questioned his Father about it. HIs father replied with the correct answer, and that I don't remember, but that fire of love from a pure heart, illuminated even the lightest day. God is not someone who looks at titles and places, for his word says, he does not dwell with temples made with hands. Never mock a denonmintion, for in your hour of need, there will be someone there who you need, reaching out to you, when no one else would, not even your brother, father or family. Learn to love others.

Numbers 22 and 23. Whom God has blessed no man can curse. This applies to the Old and the New Testament. Proverbs 9:8 Rebuke a fool and he will hate you. Rebuke the wiseman and he will love you.
Galatians 6:7 God is not mocked. For what so ever a man soweth, that also he shall reap.

Here's some spiritual food for the spirit. Unless we partake of the Word of God, we become weakened by lifes challenges, storms, and craftiness of deceits. A wise person welcomes critisism, in a constructive way to learn. The pride ful knows it all and will snub you to hate because you insulted his intelligence. PRIde cometh before a fall.

The story in Numbers 22 and chapter 23 goes about jealousy hate pride and the sword in the mouth from the tongue and the sword in the hand. He wanted Israel to be cursed, and his answer was, whom God has blessed no man can curse. This goes for the New testament believers. Engrafted adopted by him, and circumcised in the tough foreskin of the heart, to be sensitive to him.

God is not mocked, a fool will say a lot of nonsence but a day is coming that he will know the error of his way. We can mock God by saying we are so and so and keep the traditions, but lives that don't show it is mocking God. Words saying half of believing in a Creator but not respecting his word is mocking God. CAlling him a liar that the blood was shed upon the altar for our forgivness of sins, not every year as King Melchesideck stood for Israels sins, but once and for all, and when he was crucified, and that curtain in the Temple was ripped into two, representing, that now it is open not only for King Melchesideck, but for us to enter and plead for mercy at the altar. NOt believing in something God did, and ordained phrophets and disciples who shed their blood for the gospels, is one thing, but to mock God and verbally deny his Authority and POwer will be held accoutable. For what is sowing and reaping, your deeds, your words. It's a terrible thing to fall into an angry God, and he is angry with a sinner everyday. Life and Death are in the power of words, and you shall eat there of them. Don't mock God if you don't believe his ways, his truths his teachings and his calling of the Phrophets and Disciples of the Old and New. It is better not to speak against the Creator and the one, who is called, " I am that I am." HIs word does not come back void to him. What he says is and will be fullfilled, for he is not a man that he should lie. " bv. The sins of the parents are handed down to their children. Exodus 34:7 Maintaining love to a thousand gnerations. I forgive iniquity but I do not excuse the guilt. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren the entire family is affected for generations. There are 73 passages in the Old and New about the sins of the fathers being passed down.

Leviticus 26. 41: If there uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they accept their guilt,,,, God looks at the heart of man. Man looks on the outside. bv. So what is this? You thought G.od just would look at the circumsidion of the flesh, he calls them, uncircumsided fools in many places, calloused and indifferent to his love, his ways, and not knowing him, in a personal way. YOu know this is the Torah. The New Testament talks about circumcise your hearts. The blood runs through the entire world, there is not gate that stops it. John 3:16 For the creator Adoni, God, so LOVed this world that he gave his Son, that who so ever believeth on him shall be saved.

And not only the New Testament. Deuteronomy 10:16 says "Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked."

Excise the proud flesh that is preventing the heart from being properly sensitive and functional.
