TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
THANK GOD FOR THE BIBLE BUT I AM DEPENDENT UPON THE HOLY SPIRIT.

1 John 2:27
“And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His TRUE and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught.”
Jeremiah 31:33
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.Hebrews 8:10
For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds, and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
Hebrews 10:16
“This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My Laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.”
In what Holy Scripture or prophetic utterance did GOD say that HE would place HIS LAW (Commandments) in a Bible (a collection of books) or in a scripted manual or in a body of literature?
Why would GOD place HIS unsearchable and Living TRUTH in an inanimate body of literature for an inherently flawed and wicked human race to censor, pervert, twist, corrupt, change and pollute with their wicked imaginations, politics, immoral and decadent desires, selfishness, greed and thirst for power?
GOD IS TOO WISE TO MAKE A MISTAKE!
Godly wisdom only come from God by The Spirit and TRUTH. (Zechariah 4:6)
We must be Born-Again and Gifted By God with the Holy Spirit – the teacher and revelator of divine mysteries and eternal Truth.
Isaiah 11:2
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him–the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and strength, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.
John 14:17
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:26
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.
John 16:13
However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.
1 John 2:27
And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His TRUE and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught.
1 John 4:6
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Question: “WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT ANOINTING OIL?”
Answer: Anointing oil is mentioned 20 times in Holy Scripture and was used in the Old Testament for pouring on the head of the high priest and his descendants and sprinkling the tabernacle and its furnishings to mark them as holy and set apart to the Lord (Exodus 25:6; Leviticus 8:30; Numbers 4:16). Three times it is called the “holy, anointing oil,” and the Jews were strictly forbidden from reproducing it for personal use (Exodus 30:32-33).
The recipe for anointing oil is found in Exodus 30:23-24; it contained myrrh, cinnamon and other natural ingredients. There is no indication that the oil or the ingredients had any supernatural power or that it was infused with divine power through prayer or ritual. Rather, the strictness of the guidelines for creating the oil was a test of the obedience of the Israelites and a demonstration of the absolute holiness and sovereignty of God.
Only four New Testament passages refer to the practice of anointing with oil and none of them offer an explanation for its use. However, we can draw our conclusions from context. In Mark 6:13, the disciples anointed the sick and healed them. In Mark 14:3-9, Mary anoints Jesus’ feet as an act of worship. In James 5:14, the church elders are instructed to pray for the healing of the sick while anointing them with oil. In Hebrews 1:8-9, God says to Christ as He returns triumphantly to heaven, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever,” and God anoints Jesus “with the oil of gladness.”
Should SAINTS use anointing oil today?
According to James 5:14 the answer is yes. SAINTS SHOULD USE ANOINTING OIL TODAY. But only as instructed by the Holy Spirit and within the appropriate context and with the correct oil. Many believers have made it a habit of anointing folks with virgin or extra virgin olive oil and making the sign of the pagan god Tammuz while doing so. But there is nothing in The Holy Scriptures that commands or even suggests that we should use plain or virgin olive oil or similar oils in the place of divinely prescribed HOLY Anointing Oil. Only the anointing oil, as formulated and prescribed in Holy Scripture, is to be used for divine sanctification and prayer for healing.
Oil is often used as a symbol for the Holy Spirit in the Bible as in the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13). And Born Again Saints of YHVH have the promised gift of the Holy Spirit who leads us into ALL truth and “anoints” us continually with His LOVE, GRACE and MERCY. “But you have an anointing from the Holy One…” (1 John 2:20). And that anointing is true and not false, eternal and effectual until the day of our redemption. (1 John 2:27)
We are not to use any counterfeit, false or imitation devices or sayings or pagan based rituals or doctrines as a substitute of GOD’S genuine instructions, commandments and plan. This includes holy anointing oil, the Seventh-day Sabbath as well as God’s institution and definition of family. We are saints of the TRUE GOD and therefore our worship should be in SPIRIT and TRUTH. Amen.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
This picture post says something that appears to be true and LORD knows I would like it to be true but it isn’t.
“Everyone makes mistakes in life, but that doesn’t mean they have to pay for them the rest of their lives…”
Oh how I pray that was true.
We have become so accustomed to calling a sin a mistake that we have diminished the fear and relevant consequences of sin whereas it is something that we can easily explain and dismiss as being human without any significant and lasting discomforts, inconveniences or cost. The world acts as if Offending God and disobeying His Eternal Moral Commandments is not a Big Deal anymore.
King David wouldn’t agree with that.
The truth of the matter is that there are mistakes (Sins) in life that can cost you your life, your children’s lives, your peace and your calling, your anointing and your soul.
King David slept with another man’s wife and compounded the sin by having the man killed. As a result, the sword (death, war, contention, strife and turmoil) was never to leave his house. (2 Samuel 12:10) His first born son – the child of his infidelity – died in infancy. And YHVH would not permit King David to build or to see the construction of the LORD’S Holy Sanctuary (Temple). However, in showing sincere repentance, David never stopped working in preparation for the time that The LORD’S Temple would be built by another. David truly “REPENTED!” And in contrition, repentance, obedience and Trust, David became the apple of GOD’s eye.
Because of a mistake, David suffered the remainder of his life, And his sin was generational and reached beyond himself and spread to his children who also suffered. (Read the story of David in 1 Samuel 16-31; 2 Samuel 1-24; 1 Kings 1:1-2:11; 1 Chronicles 11-29)
But David isn’t the only one who suffered his entire life for a “mistake” that he made. Those who made the mistake of having premarital sex with an AIDS infected partner and contracted HIV/AIDS or herpes will have to live out the remainder of their lives with the virus. And those who made the mistake of driving drunk and killing or maiming someone will have to live with that mistake for the rest of their lives and the person that they killed or maimed cannot be restored. These are just a few of the life changing mistakes that people make.
It is never a good thing to presume upon the Grace of ALMIGHTY YHVH. (Romans 2:3-5)
If you know something is wrong or offensive to GOD, then don’t do it. We should have more reverence for GOD than we have desire for the things and pleasures of this world and of the flesh. Fear (Reverence) of GOD and Obedience to His Holy Commands will save us a world of hurt and pain and suffering.
And if you do sin (make a conscious mistake), REPENT immediately and beg GOD for mercy. And in your contrition, don’t try to justify your mistakes or minimize your sins by saying that you are only human. But work hard and faithfully and constantly ALL of your life for the KINGDOM of GOD, demonstrating your sincere REPENTANCE. And perhaps YHVH may smile upon you and you may become the apple of HIS eye. Amen.
And as for the second part of this picture post that says:
“Sometimes good people make bad choices. It doesn’t mean they are bad. It means they are human.”
This too is misleading and a deception of Satan. On the surface it sounds good and harmless and true but at its core is death, hell and grave – the wages of sin.
Being human is not an excuse or reason nor is it justification for making mistakes (willful and conscious Sin). The wages of sin (willful and conscious mistakes) is Death.
We need to take our mistakes more seriously!
There aren’t really any “good people” in the world. To assume that we are good and that we would automatically do good naturally and by choice is human arrogance.
The Scriptures indicate that all human beings are born into sin and shaped by iniquity. (Psalm 51 and 1 John 1:8) It is in our “human nature” to sin and to love sinning. And if GOD doesn’t draw us to Himself, we would be unable to come to Him on our own.
Therefore the whole picture post is a very well crafted human sentiment that we all wish were true but we now know that it isn’t.
It should read:
“Everyone sins and the wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ. To be human is to fail in sin. To be in Christ is to be perfected in holiness. (1 John 3:6-9)
