FRANCE AND GOD CHAPTER 6 Because Jesus, born of the Holy Spirit has vanquished any domination attached to the flesh, he is alone has the authority to give us this new logic which can lead us to discover Love of God for all men!

The Fruits of peace Jesus: Man or Messiah? We will look at now why this faith in Christ is not a simple Utopia conveying good humanistic ideas, a simple dimension necessary to the human harmony to which it is wise to agree that is right. Jesus is certainly come to set an "example" to us, but if through this one “He had not accomplished the Jewish law that God gave to Moses", He would not have made anything that can pull us out dimension of the flesh in which we all are born. The example indeed is good and perfect, but led by an analysis of the flesh, our psychology, itself under the supervision of Satan, that brings the results which we can appreciate all over the world, where the reactions are often opposed to the intellectual goodwill of each one. Would that to suggest the religions that teach the law given by God to Moses, in opposition to our flesh, are useless? You'll do not think of the sort! They have on the contrary their reason to be for the teaching that they bring of the law Divine. They are even perfect, as long as they do not place the doctrines before the Spirit with whom God wants above all to speak to us individually. Their variants are often a reflection of our differences carnal relationships needed to our understanding, that is why there are still many wars of religion, would it that verbal. Their variants often reflect our carnal differences necessary to our comprehension, this is why there exists still so much of wars of religion, would be this only verbal. That does not mean that he can do nothing in born of good. On the contrary, because what is not in them is in God they are trying to make known by their interpretation more or less accurate the Act. The man has unfortunately attached importance to them, than he often put them instead to God. The Christian religions are in search to die out carnal psychology, which is noble and right, but vain and being able to come harmful if the action is led in us by this carnal construction itself. What these religions do not have in them, because not being able to come from a teaching, is: The Spirit that gives the faith in God! To believe is indeed a thing of second order, because it is tell to us in (James 2-19) You have the belief that God is one, and you do well: the devils also believe, and shudder.// That does not want to say that it is useless to believe, because it is well necessary to believe to receive a conviction. The faith is truly more than one dimension of conviction in the heart of the man, like an invisible reality. This conviction does not certainly exist physically, since it is only "to feel certain of the things that one hopes for, the demonstration of those that one "Does not see ", like we have just read it in the epistle to the Hebrews. We cannot even conceive the results of the faith, since this one leads us towards the Spirit of God and is not thus in our flesh, our basic individual psychology. It doesn't exist in us an image worthy of the Spirit, from which we can draw an analysis to produce a just action according to God. This is why by this total confidence that we grant to God, it can put in us: Faith in HIM! We can then be pleasant to Him by surpassing the image of our flesh, and only in this

way, which Glorifies the Spirit: (Hebrews 11-6) And without faith it is not possible to be well-pleasing to him, for it is necessary for anyone who comes to God to have the belief that God is, and that he reward all those who make a serious search for him.// It isn't written, who recognize Him, but who search for Him. It is a fundamental difference between the flesh and the Spirit, because the one, whom advances by the faith, does not know but discovers. He discovers by means of works that God placed from time immemorial in front of him and in which he comes, led by His Spirit. This is why Jesus did not come to us "to show the example", but to bring us the encouragement to trust in him by the faith, devoid of any other preconceived idea. The faith trusting to the Spirit of God in His works, beyond the images from the flesh, thus increase step by step the dimension of the Spirit in our soul. Unlike this, the intellectual teaching of the law in a religion, can choke the Spirit by carnal wisdom, and thus to grow the flesh (or carnal spirit) to the detriment of the Spirit (the Holy Spirit of God). This is in this, with good motivations, that religions can become harmful in the practical application by press-ganging of the spirit (ours, constituted of its carnal share and sometimes from Holy Spirit), and in certain parts of themselves, to lead to the extremism. This extremism is then due to confusion of the faith and fanaticism. The faith approach, led by God will bring always more God in us, therefore always more love of our neighbor. The second led by Satan the enemy of our souls, always more presumptions of the flesh, thus more demonic wars. We must of course remain moderate in the dimension of "demonic", but any dimension carnal, human, is obviously "demonic", which made say to Jesus addressing himself to Peter, Get you behind me, Satan, on account of the carnal words which he had just pronounced. This does not want to say the imbalance of the person exceeded a normal human balance, but that his motivations come from the flesh, and not from Holy Spirit. This is why it is good that we voluntarily leave with others a right to check on our behaviors, by a inter-submit with knowing which "spirit" or "Spirit" leads us. The skids can be otherwise numerous. It is a specific topic bearing on the importance of the church that we will not treat in this work, to remain about it only to the guiding principles of the faith led by the Spirit or the flesh. The example that Jesus left us, is assuredly far from being sufficient in itself, since it enables us possibly to have a reference of image according to our flesh, but not to go beyond it. If it were indeed only a question of model, why would He have given his life to the cross? In a spirit of sacrifice? He certainly came to bring the "sacrifice", but perpetual for our sins passed, present, and to come, i.e. forgiveness in its entirety. Passed: From our nature we all are born firstly from the flesh, even the "better", therefore not in accordance with the Spirit. Present: We remain men who, also spiritual that we can be, we only aim for perfection of Jesus. And to come: To be able to advance each day in a progression towards the perfection of love of our next, without never making carry the judgment on the intrinsic nature of anyone human being that it is, because of his acts, even the more contemptible to our mind. (Hebrews 10-1/18) For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices, which they offered year by year continually, make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Why when he comes into the world, he said, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body have you prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure. Then said I, See, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do your will, O God. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he, See, I come to do your will, O God. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second. By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest stands daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From now on expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he has perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, said the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.// So that nobody behaves away from this promise, we go back to precisely the explanation of this word. The sin produces the death of our soul, firstly by all the torments that it brings to it. Secondly, by the carnal development in our spirit, it withdraws us the right to the eternal life, by identification of our soul to a dimension called to disappear. So that each one can have repentance, under the Old Testament, i.e., before the arrival of Jesus, God had given like image for the redemption of the sin, by putting to death of pure 1 animals by priests 2, to replace the one that sinner deserved. It is what explains firstly the Paul apostle, by fixing however the limit of the possibilities of this "redemption", since it was to be repeated each year. The difference thus lies now in the fact if we sin, we must always require forgiveness, with repentance of all our heart and the firm intention not to perpetrate it, but in a free access towards God through Sacrifice of Jesus-Christ. 1) Clean animals, to see Leviticus 11-1/47 and Deuteronomy 14-3/20. 2) Priest: Religious driver who offered the sacrifice If Jesus had however brought us only that, we could not still loosen up carnal dimension, and would be always in perpetual dimension, sin, forgiveness, sin, forgiveness, to which were subjected the believers of Old Testament. Jesus now sat to the right-hand side of God and offers to us a possibility don't sin more in all the various fields of our life, while making us victorious of the sin if our will is hundred percent acquired to him. What would it have otherwise accomplished of larger than could not do it, the blood poured by the bulls or the goats, like says us the Paul apostle? This difference is because the animals that is called pure, were because their flesh is more edible than other species, but also by their ignorance of the law, (the one who is unaware of the law cannot be blamed), whereas Jesus lived on the contrary the law in all points, by knowledge of this one. He thus accomplishes it perfectly in its entirety, withdrawing straight to Satan for Himself; His psychology initially born of the Holy Spirit was not sullied thereafter by the sin. First victory! Taking then care of our sins of the flesh, He achieves the image that God had given under the Old Testament for the forgiveness of the sins by the sacrifice of pure animals, and acquires to us once and for all the forgiveness of ours, by the blood whom He poured to the Cross of Golgotha. This is why He went down in hell, but His Spirit not being dimension similar to the flesh and not being able to cross the hell, He pronounced these words before expiring, "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit". He has risen at the third day in His body, His carnal dimension being non-existent, image of our resurrection through Him in our own body then for eternity with Him. Second victory, this time for us! Through "Sacrifice of the Cross", it is thus important to live the Cross like a victory and not a "sacrifice" as such, even if we must preserve this fundamental respect towards all abnegation which the Cross represents. It was indeed the victory of the good against the evil, the greatest victory of all humanity, so much big so that null other cannot be equal for him. We normally delight us, for various festivals or victories. At the last Olympic Games, I was myself witness of French victories, but I do not live any tear of suffering to the eyelids of the sad French spectators of all the sufferings by which had passed our champions. All, on the contrary, burst of joy. Although it acts of a victory much more phenomenal than will never other be for the man, when we speak about the Cross of Jesus, everybody or almost, don't see there like a real victory, and all on the contrary, lower the head sadly. We can understand it, because who among we jumps of joy if somebody speaks to him about dead of Jesus to the Cross? And yet, so difficult could be the previous moments the victory, He remain forever the "Champion"! He has acquired us: The VICTORY! We can badly measure this dimension, so much easily we confuse this one with our intellect. It is easy to perceive the physical dimension of the individual, whereas this one is spiritual, located on the level even of the soul. It was however the opening for us with being able to change nature, and to have free access to the spiritual nature of God, reason for which at this moment, the veil of the temple which, in the sanctuary, was isolating the Holy place from the Very Holy place, tore. Jesus and God the Father could consequently come to make His residence in us if we invite Him, our heart can being able become now the temple of the Holy Spirit (the third Person of God and not a simple dimension, "semiintellectual, semi-spiritual", attached to the word of God). The way of Love towards the spiritual nature of God was open, giving free access at man to telling yes to the true nature of God of Peace and Love. For those whom would have still difficulties to do the difference between unction of the Holy Spirit, under the Old Testament and the new one, (i.e. before and after Jesus), this was existing before was like isolated, external at person (see Old Testament sketch), whereas unction now can be inside us, by transformation of our Heart in Temple of the Holy Spirit (see New Testament sketch). This is why

0913 numéro 0913 à partir de 28/04/2015

it is FUNDAMENTAL not to confuse Jesus, Christ, the Messiah, the One who accomplished all as it was announced by Old Testament, and a simple man who SUFFERED for us. He suffered certainly for us, but He now sat with the right-hand side of God, where He remains our lawyer near God Father. This is why we do not have to look at Him more as a child sees His big brother accomplished what is impossible for him. He opened us perfectly ALL the way, and only we can prevent him to lead us in HIS dimension. He even gives us the "guide" if we ask him, and despite everything this, He remains still our lawyer close to The Father. Because Jesus knows that it is not after we have passed our driving license, than we will not make any more errors. We can even go until deliver admirable spiritual sermons full with revelations of God, and making mistake of put into practice at the most unexpected place. He is then present to defend us, because the kingdom's keys were given to Him, and He now waits to enter that we are to the possible greatest number. If He had returned as a reigning Jesus at the day of first Pentecost, like certain contemporaries could believe it, only few peoples would have been saved and not the multitude as numerous as the sand of the sea, according to the promise made to Abraham for his posterity. He will however not delay this is His promise. If He waited beyond marked time, the fall would be vertiginous for all believer who will then have placed his faith in Him, but also for the earth, our planet. We will thus remember, for these first pages related to the Spirit of God, that Jesus the Messiah, wants and can give us well beyond than a religion can bring to us by the carnal practical application of the law, and we will look into what He asks us in order to bless us.

Two baptisms Individual Christian life takes shape really on two bases, when we are opening our heart to God, and when we take public stand. This differentiation of the personal bases can appear exaggerated at many sincere peoples, for whom one cannot go without the other, but they are actually quite distinct in their results. The first can lead to the approval of God who then turns over to the person the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the new birth, and the second conduit to the water baptism, in the desire of an authentication of commitment in front of the men. There is not order for these two stages which are sometimes very distant one from the other, this is why we will start to look at the second, more known in our France with Christian majority. The baptism of water, or repentance, is of course only one symbol of the Christian oath, but remain nevertheless fundamental commitment in front of God and the men, to accept the "death" of its carnal psychology for a "resurrection" in the logic of Love of one's neighbor in Jesus-Christ RESSUSCITE. (1 Peter 3-18/22) Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit; By whom he went to the spirits in prison, preaching to those Who, in the days of Noah, went against God’s orders; but God in his mercy kept back the punishment, while Noah got ready the ark, in which a small number, that is to say eight persons, got salvation through water: And baptism, of which this is an image, now gives you salvation, not by washing clean the flesh, but by making you free from the sense of sin before God, through the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead; Who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been put under his rule.// What will we then say on the topic of the baptism taken not as an commitment, but received in childhood without commitment of the person himself, like it is habit to do in certain Christian confessions? It is undeniable that Jesus accepted the water baptism at the adulthood, but how He had been able to act differently, institution having been brought by Jean-Baptist for the entry of Jesus in his terrestrial ministry? We will thus not go into considerations of doctrines, even if these practices can lead to confusion between the presentation of the eighth day to the temple for the circumcision like it was the case of Jesus and when He took public stand by its baptism at the adulthood. We will thus say that "the circumcision of heart" requested by Jesus to any disciple, is an image identical to that of the baptism, and we will look at only to the importance of the baptism’s meaning, as we have just seen it is described by the Pierre apostle. It is indeed fundamental that any Christian is still conscious at the adulthood, of all the significance of this one, whether he received it in childhood or adulthood. Conversely, if he considers his commitment took by other people in unconscious conditions of him, like

0914 numéro 0914 à partir de 28/04/2015

being not or having not been always for him in direct report with his right motivation, that he renews it in a fully conscious way this time. The clear conscience required by God through the Pierre apostle, lies in the fact of accepting the look of the Spirit on ourselves, recognizing our carnal heart like unjust, which deludes us when we look within ours rights through this one. A baptism being a symbol, does not have thus to be taken a second time, if it were initially related to its true meaning and if it remains a fundamental dimension in the heart of the person itself. What would we say if not of those who, baptized in adulthood, are diverted themselves sometimes a time of God to return later towards him? Should they take a new baptism again? Should we also take again a new baptism each time we sin, like somebody who would have been put out and who would have no more this means to enter again? God does not put the one out who comes to Him with a sincere heart and who is repenting of his faults, this is why it is so fundamental for parents who make baptize an infant, not to treat the spiritual step lightly that they engage on this human being on his behalf. It is not here a human precepts question, because if it is possible to dupe with impunity the men, God is witness of every thing. If the baptism is indeed the public commitment of the man to accept the process of renewal of the heart such as we have just defined it during these two last chapters, it thus becomes the public request addressed by the man to God to lead him in the works He has prepared in advance for this renewal. If the man does not hold his commitments, this does not concern God. He will hold his, even if He must make pass one and the other of the child and the parents by situations by which the men will be astonished without understand them. The same goes for the one who commits himself with casualness in this process considered to be banal for much. Banal because not perceptible physically, but considered by majority of those as a correct thought intellectual approach to which it is generally wise to give reason. This attitude generally leads to a carnal humanism whose human motivations very often flout the fundamental rules, and whose glory of the result is thus allocated to the carnal man so Satan rather than to God. Others are even more foolish than these latter and they think are clever to come in water of the baptism, led by impure reasons of any profit. What these unhappy does not know, it is how much Satan rubs one's hands of what they are considered themselves crafty ones, because this cunning led Judas Iscariot to sell Jesus for thirty silver coins, before going to hang oneself. The important thing is not indeed to be baptized of water to give pleasure to a relative, a friend or to be able to say oneself Christian to extract a vast number of advantages, but well rather to do it in the most total dimension of the true commitment. It is almost a survival question, because the sword of the Spirit that is the word of God is a weapon with double edge, it releases the heart if it is used correctly, or destroys it by misleading appearances in any other attitude of heart. God accepts any sinner which is repent, but in waiting of this repentance let us not be surprised that Satan, the enemy of our souls, all the more takes his rights that a commitment was undertaken, even if it acted only of one mock of commitment. Between bracket, some will be perhaps astonished that I so often speak about Satan, because much believe in Jesus, but think Satan is only one delirious imagination, to see for some rather funny. Those there are not afraid of him because they do not believe in his existence, and are unconscious of his capacity on the souls, therefore from what awaits them. His art is indeed to imply that he does not exist or that are only funniness to frighten the old ladies. As for me I am not afraid of him, because I know that the one who is in me is higher than him, even if I also know to have to respect him without to give him reason. Jesus spoke to us thus about him in (John 8-42/45) Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me. Why are my words not clear to you? It is because your ears are shut to my teaching. You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false. But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.// Those who place really God and his only son at the first place, do not have to be afraid of the demon, but those who don't have faith in God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit should be particularly frightened, because even if they refuse to believe in Satan it is to him that they pay their tribute. If God gives free, it is never his case. He can give like coming from the "sky" since spiritual in the carnal spirit, whereas it is to recapture better, to steal better. This is why the one who lavishes or receives benefits of health of the body through "supernatural talents", must always test if those glorify Jesus or anyone other. Attention however not to reject the divine recovery which glorifies God and not the men, as I was sometimes witness. It is however necessary to remain vigilant to check if the talents increase the men or the women having them like coming from themselves, to see of a practice or prayers learned. If it is the case, danger! The prince of this world can give, but he can recapture better again on another side.

There is a thing that he does not like however; it is that God can teach man. Not the man about God by any intellectual dimension; that he controls it relatively well, but God Himself teaching the person by the Holy Spirit of God speaking and answering to the spirit of the man. That brings back us directly to the first base that we had put aside about the opening of heart towards God, key of the second baptism, the one of the Holy Spirit. We have already broached the subject several times, and in particular in the first chapter. I for myself was touched by the Grace of God by the baptism of the Holy Spirit, at the moment even where I recognized the absolute necessity to follow the precepts taught by Jesus, that I can not differentiate yet from the extraterrestrial one. We will not enlarge on my case which does not have anything exceptional, because God knows that numerous are those which must persevere longer than me to receive from Jesus this dimension so invaluable than is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We will let leave at more general circumstances, often located just before or just after the baptism, as it is reported to us in (Acts 1-1/9) I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first, till the day when he was taken up to heaven after he had given his orders, through the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles of whom he had made selection: And to whom he gave clear and certain signs that he was living, after his death; for he was seen by them for forty days, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God: And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge: For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time. So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel? And he said to them, it is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events, which the Father has kept in his control. But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. And when he had said these things, while they were looking, he was taken up, and went from their view into a cloud.// This power, this other baptism, is the dimension about which Jesus spoke, as being "New Birth", when 1 He addressed to Nicodemus the Pharisee , chief of the Jews, as we have read (see John 3-1/10). 1) Pharisee: Jewish party which was stressing the respect of the rites and the ceremonies. They were claiming to be more pious than the others and were separating themselves from the people. They were believing in the immortality of the heart, the resurrection of the body, and the existence of the angels and the demons. Until Jesus, only the forgiveness of the sins, according to rules' imposed by God, were salutary for the rest of the soul. Since His advent, and especially its resurrection, and His Rise close to God, He prepares his reign with those whom repent and are renewed in Him. Each one of those who ask this other baptism with sincere heart to him, not to make the will of their flesh, but this of the Spirit of God, receive this power which is quoted otherwise like the comforter, the Spirit of truth. It is through the person of the Holy Spirit in our heart that God, Father and Son, comes to make his residence in we who become by there the temple of the Holy Spirit. Like an approval in return of our commitment, Jesus then equips us with this "force" to effectively face the combat that we have to carry out against this flesh, according to which we react. This force, appeared for the apostles, ten days after the Rise of Jesus near the Father, at the time of Pentecost. It is accessible to any sincere person towards God, recognizing publicly Jesus like Seigneur and Sons of God, and ready to follow Him beyond any understanding. The apostles had been informed by Jesus that they would receive one day of Him this power, without knowing what it would be, contrary to me at the time of my baptism of the Holy Spirit for which I knew the day and knew that would change drastically my life, but unaware of that would come from God. He acts like He wishes it with each one, knowing us better than ourselves. (Acts 2-1/13) And when the day of Pentecost was come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like the rushing of a violent wind, and all the house where they were was full of it. And they saw tongues, like flames of fire, coming to rest on every one of them. And they were all full of the Holy Spirit, and were talking in different languages, as the Spirit gave them power.

Now there were living at Jerusalem, Jews, God-fearing men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound came to their ears, they all came together, and were greatly surprised because every man was hearing the words of the disciples in his special language. And they were full of wonder and said, Are not all these men Galileans? And how is it that every one of us is hearing their words in the language that was ours from our birth? Men of Parthia, Media, and Elam, and those living in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia, In Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and those who have come from Rome, Jews by birth and others who have become Jews, Men of Crete and Arabia, to all of us they are talking in our different languages, of the great works of God. And they were all surprised and in doubt saying to one another, What is the reason of this? But others, making sport of them, said, They are full of new wine.// Those who would have observed me could have also believed me filled with new wine. To the reverse of the disciples, I did not let myself however not go to pronounce these words that I was going not to understand, awaiting me myself not to God. Words that later were coming back to me unceasingly, and that one day the Holy Spirit revealed me. In another "language", I was saying "Glory to God". Such experiments can appear not very credible with some, because sometimes demonized by people badly taught or too obtuse to admit this phenomenon. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is indeed, except exception, accompanied by spoken in language that allows like says it the Paul apostle to be edify oneself. (1 Corinthians 14-2/4) For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things. But the word of the prophet gives men knowledge and comfort and strength. He who makes use of tongues may do good to himself; but he who gives the prophet’s word does good to the church.// This dimension of the Holy Spirit thus makes it possible to dialogue with the Spirit of God, our carnal psychology not perceiving the image of it, the dialogue being placed on the level of the subconscious. By this dimension of the spirit (ours) towards the Spirit (his), a pure dialogue, because devoid of bad images, can be thus established in a not interpretable dimension by our intellect. This is how I heard one day a brother in Christ, to pray to God in Russian. I still somewhat spoke it at the time, but him, although he never learned it, expressed himself much better than me without having himself comprehension of he was saying. I do not want to say the one who wants to learn Russian, must convert himself. If it were thus, each one would like to undoubtedly receive this power, "to benefit from it", whereas God wants to bless us beyond a simple profit. Any form of interest or carnal reasoning, if small is it, is being indeed a handicap to receive from God this miraculous blessing. God appears still nowadays by many miracles, and this baptism of the Holy Spirit is undoubtedly included in them. It is not expressed by large signs with the eyes of the men, but larger perhaps than no one another miracle, it is achieved in the secrecy of the heart. It is what Jesus with called "the New Birth", since it acts of an initialization making it possible to rewrite our logic in another language, that of the Love of its Next. It is not expressed by large signs to the eyes of the men, but it is perhaps larger than all another miracle, because it is achieved in the secrecy of the heart. It is that Jesus called "the New Birth", since it acts as an initialization making it possible to rewrite our logic in another language, the one of the Love of its Next. From its working by equivalences of values, the flesh always seeks the glory, to increase his standing in the eyes others, by the adoption of precepts that it just recognizes by comparison of image. This is why the one who receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit should not have ideas preconceived, on the way by which God wants to do pass him, and simply to rely on the Holy Spirit to let oneself lead. We already read it in the first chapter, “The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.” It is then that, passing time and teaching, a certain paradox will not fail to be established. If it is essential indeed to give reason to the rules laid down by God in order to be able to live them daily, it is not because we their consciously agree that they are rewritten hundred percent in this logic just been born, rather than in the old one of the flesh. Nothing can indeed lie in this new logical, without there being had victory over the old one under living conditions of a value identical to those which had created us initially. If we remain true and sincere, we can perceive in what logic our heart was rewritten, only in spontaneous reactions of the everyday life, because our intellect has not time to intervene, and we are subjected to the only transformation of the heart already carried out, to lead us in just or not behavior. If we are fallen back in the error we have then any more than repentance, that we are one year old, ten years or fifty years of Christian life. Better is indeed to run the risk to be rejected like unsuitable from our environment, rather than to lose our own VERITE that God will be able to transform if we remain SINCERE and FAITHFUL towards Him.

The one who doesn't act thus lapses very quickly into a life from attitudes and not from lived personal. His soul recognizing the validity of what pass on the Spirit of God, then adopts in his flesh the behaviors as his own truth, feeling the effect of not to be correct if he lets certain errors of personal constructions filter through. This attitude is unfortunately frequent, with the one who receives the Holy Spirit and gives carnally reason to his new environment. He then adopts many new behaviors like good attitudes to which he would have always given reason, but these being managed by his old logic, produce in him only one appearance of holiness in conformity with the human spirit can conceive as balanced or of extremist. The one who received the baptism of the Spirit must thus be vigilant to remain entirely sincere and true, and to keep ALWAYS his free will whatever his environment. God wants to change any hidden share of the soul and not the external attitude by a uniformity defined by the man and a press-ganging of the spirit that Jesus fought on ground. He wants that we can use all the potential that He put in us, which is deformed by circumstances related to this logic of "taming" that Satan dominates. These deformations about which we spoke in the preceding chapter, represented by this river and the bridges which could span it with all the various explosions which could have caused so much and so much damages. With our agreement, God wants to use us participative to his Glory by educating us, while in parallel He grows our faith in him. He does not want simply to cover the crack of a bridge; with a decoy that gives us an appearance of love towards our alone environment like is a change of external attitude. He wants to allow us "to dismantle" stone by stone and in the order that He alone knows, each carnal bridge not easily usable whose our bad images arise. It does not go solely besides from the errors that each one can recognize like error, such the robbery, murder or any other feeling bad, but also those which we can sometimes regard as best such the generosity or tolerance. If generosity that we practice increases our standing in our eyes for example or if our tolerance makes us accept the sin, rather than to lead us to the compassion of the one who makes this error, because already judged, then these finer feelings are carnal, thus demonic. The will of God is to burn all this leaven which puffed up us pride and temerity, and gives to us the impression sometimes we are God himself. This is why John the Baptist said to us speaking about Jesus, (Matthew 3-11) Truly, I give baptism with water to those of you whose hearts are changed; but he who comes after me is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to take up: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire.//

The Fire of the third baptism It is quite obvious that the Spirit of God cannot be satisfied with simple appearances, and wants to bring back for us vis-à-vis to the bed, with the initial current, that is our TRUE personality, with bridges from a nature identical to his. This is why it is so important to let oneself to lead by the breath of His Spirit for overcoming the bad images, while becoming again of heart like a little child, who lets himself guide by God his Father. It's then the old bridges of the flesh are like gradually burning, and the new ones of the Spirit appear, without destroying our own personality. The other images, those which had more deformed us than formed, are those which we would like to lose because they sometimes create us many difficulties, but we would have then the impression to have to live another life that ours. It is because our spirit then identifies a behavior which it considers just, with that of an impure spirit which, such a mountain, is one day came to him barred the road and created this share of suffering and pain hidden in our subconscious. Jesus spoke to us about the mountain that for us this spirit represents in (Mark 11-22/26) And Jesus, answering, said to them, Have God’s faith. Truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and be put into the sea; and has no doubt in his heart, but has faith that what he says will come about, he will have his desire. For this reason I say to you, Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it. And whenever you make a prayer, let there be forgiveness in your hearts, if you have anything against anyone; so that you may have forgiveness for your sins from your Father who is in heaven.// See how, by very little thing, it is possible for us to miss out the blessing that is to separate us of our old reactions. By small lack of forgiveness, faith that we would have, and who would allow us to say to the mountain that come to bar the real life that God would have liked to give us, remove you from there and lets me pass, we deprive ourselves and traverse a life without joy, consisted of so many repressed fears. As we already saw it in the chapter "the flesh, the war", the meanders of our carnal heart are built, not by our happiness, although they make party of the desires of survival that God gives us, but by our

0918 numéro 0918 à partir de 28/04/2015

misfortunes. These are there the alone limits that is able to build in us Satan, whose present "cohabitation" with Jesus, will last until the return of this one, date on which the reign of Satan will finish on us. Until this day, we will be guided by one or other of the two entities with which we dialogue spiritually just like we can do it with ourselves. God for that matter gave us the image of it as of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3-1/5) Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in the garden? And the woman said, We may take of the fruit of the trees in the garden: But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you. And the snake said, Death will not certainly come to you: For God sees that on the day when you take of its fruit, your eyes will be open, and you will be as gods, having knowledge of good and evil.// This text is perhaps much less full of imagery than some think. It emphasizes well the dialogue which can be established between Satan and us. We could have taken another also known, as is the search of Satan to make fall Jesus in temptation. Without to know, we much more frequently have dialogues with him than imagine we it, would be only by temptation to disobedience. In our thoughts, we dialogue then directly or indirectly with him or his fallen angels which are the demons, also called impure spirits (identical to those of our carnal psychology). It is not question of course of spiritism or other demonic "sciences", which lead directly to a voluntary dialogue with Satan. Let us look at however, which Jesus said to the disciples in connection with the authority that we have on the demons. (Luke 10-17/20) And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name. And he said, I was watching for Satan, falling from heaven like a star. See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage. Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven.// God wants mature men, men who are more attached voluntarily to the balance of God than the supernatural demonstration of some work that it is. We must see in this, the testimony of the Glory of God is being more in the liberation of the heart to being able to make the will of God, than in its external supernatural demonstration. This is why Jesus wishes firstly that each one is delighted by what his name is registered in the book of the living, but also that those whose name is registered remain there, being renewed in His Spirit. After a certain time after the baptism of the Holy Spirit given by the Vine grower, Jesus, God comes and asks thus for accounts (Luke 13-6/9) And he made up this story for them: A certain man had a fig-tree in his garden, and he came to get fruit from it, and there was no fruit. And he said to the gardener, See, for three years I have been looking for fruit from this tree, and I have not had any: let it be cut down; why is it taking up space? And he said, Lord, let it be for this year, and I will have the earth turned up round it, and put animal waste on it, to make it fertile: And if, after that, it has fruit, it is well; if not, let it be cut down.// This renewal is not accomplished indeed without a participation activates of the person, and the dress of soldier whose Christ arrays us in the time of our Baptism of the Holy Spirit is not parade dress but to the contrary a dress of authority against the impure spirits of our flesh. If this armament of the Spirit and the knowledge of His word don’t thus lead us to carry out one day the good combat of the Spirit against our own carnal spirits, it is only used to make us even more reprehensible than the one who did not receive anything. This is why God wants to lead us to baptism of Fire, because this first combat carried out according to rules, therefore to the first victory, the result appears so phenomenal for us, than it becomes a dynamics which does grow our faith, by increase of the presence of God in us.

Interest of the good fight Now that we described the interest of this baptism of fire, we will somewhat develop the protocol of entry in this constructive phase. If for my part, some one had said to me before my conversion “I did not know happiness”, I would have stood up to him taking him for foolish. Today, and a little more each day, this deep happiness that I did not know, does not cease increasing in me. I had however received a shower of happiness which had made me cry and laugh at the same time this first night, at the time of my Baptism of the Holy Spirit,

but it is better after these many years than at the first day, because lived in a serenity which was hitherto unknown for me. I had certainly ups and downs as it is for each one, but downs were never too low in to make me fall, because He is the comforter, quite as the ups were, I hope for it, never enough heights to bring down me in the pride, because He is the Spirit of the truth. This is what is wonderful to live God day-to-day, and to see Him to accomplish his work in we with Love and we to drive progressively to our own renewal. It is necessary to know that spiritual field is marvelous for the one who searches the beneficial effects of God in himself with sincerity and uprightness and who wants to be led by the Holy Spirit beyond the precepts in which he can simply give reason, in all TRUTH of heart therefore. Luke's text 10 allowed us to see that the one who will have come into the communion of God by the Holy Spirit, will really be able to lead a battle of authority on evil minds, at least for his own person, to make die her "flesh" and the "guides" who are linked to it. The repose of soul being on this condition, it is therefore definitely in it that we must crave. So that there is fight, it is necessary that there is engagement, and so that there is engagement, it is necessary that there is conviction. This one is given to us by the Holy Spirit, but also by our approval to follow it. We could say that it is all the difficulty there of living fully with God, because a share of our teaching intervenes inevitably. A personal “learning” to recognize the difference in us of what is communicated by the Holy Spirit or which is resulting from our intellect is thus essential in all the small things of the life, during a more or less long time after the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This personal learning accompanied of course by the one of the word of God within a church in which the Holy Spirit, is taught will be done by experiments lived by means of we will let ourselves used the guide of the Holy Spirit, rather than our old logic. These small things will have the advantage of making grow our faith because of the results which we will appear already miraculous for much, and we will especially prepare to recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit in us, in order to allow us to accomplish some larger. It will not be yet necessarily the baptism of fire, but it will be already the practice that will lead to it. It will be there all the results which we can expect during the period about which Luc 13-6/9 speaks to us that we have just read, who gives well a report on lapse of time between the plantation of the fig tree which is the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the harvest of the fruits born of the Spirit of God in our new logical. Only the practical application of our faith led by the Holy Spirit of God with patience and wisdom makes it possible to enter good dimension, where the miracles of God can be lived from day to day in our heart. It will then not be a question of having simply to give reason to a new or last teaching, but of being found victorious of contrary spontaneous reactions to the word of God whom we therefore reject intellectually. We already spoke about it in the preceding chapters, but it is worth that we returned there somewhat. In the example that we had taken of a bad stone on a bridge, God acts such surgeon. He takes time to prepare us with the replacement of each one of them with softness, although they are often firmly implanted in our understandings. To the moment of “operation”, a little as to the dentist, even if it seems to us sometimes that death would be preferable to the life, we find oneself much more quickly recover from it, that it did not take us time to go down. Contrary to a religious attitude, which arrives and wants all to shave of a blow, God who has got really Love, takes time to create in us the understanding necessary, and grain of sand after grain of sand, just like He knows the number of our hair, He does a work of surgeon, even on heavy and robust bridge of stone. God knows what leads us to reactions opposite with our understanding, and which is placed in our subconscious, our spirit. These are often there the sufferings lived in childhood, which were isolated with adolescence in the part of our brain related to the reflexes from survival. It will be generally only one very stupid thing, as for example each time we would have liked to kiss our father with the return of his work, to throw one's arms around neck of him and to be delighted together… There, always the same thing, discords, cries, for others alcohol… In the deep distress which was created in us, we then took the bather or the teddy sitting on the bed, and typed we to him inside as for better saying to this father: “Dad I love you, thus listens to me…! ” And bang! And bang! A punch, and another… Then it had become almost a play… The years passed, this reaction fell to the oubliettes but continuous to lead us exactly in the same way in as well “as adult”. It is often so small things as God wants to reveal us, because He was present at the time of these childhood sufferings. He knows these are this small misfortunes, and sometimes much larger, which in addition to coming to impress our brain structured in order to forget the origin of

0920 numéro 0920 à partir de 28/04/2015

these sufferings, pave the way for our soul with feelings or carnal spirits, such as resentment, the violence and many others. The motives of God is therefore to make us victorious of this wretched carnal spirit who incites us externally on the level of the heart, while making to us firstly victorious on the level of our spirit, our subconscious, in a dimension similar to that which had given rights to this impure spirit to reside in our heart. It is absurd, but many lives are wasted because of also small things. Our father sometimes ceased since years making us suffer and yet violence remained. With each time we are afraid to be forsaken in some other context that it is, we reproduce the same thing. We have certainly grown, we even think to be adults, but while going along, when the injustice comes or when a motorist annoys us or… How much “or” should we write since each case is particular??? The situation is a little the same one for Jesus as for a sporting trainer, whose happiness is in the victory of his team or his sportsman. If he is man, we can imagine that he somewhat does it for his personal glory, but Jesus resides in an integrity that does not exist on earth. He is the one who already achieved all for us, and we act without Him. He is the one on whom we spit and He is not avenged. Like He did yesterday, He starts again it today, once, twice hundred times per day if He is needed and without reproaches. To the slightest better he encourages us, to the slightest failing He is there again to support us, to the slightest moaning, the suffering masked by an excess of violence, He pamper us. Let me tell you a little story on this subject: Jesus said that He would be every day with us. A charming young girl arrives in front of “Saint-Peter”, who lets her enter in the paradise in order to make her movie of his life. Arrive a moment, where she can still see herself sad, the heart in sorrow, to go on the wet sand of a long beach, but sees only one trace behind her on sand. On a reproachful tone, she turns then to Jesus, and says to Him “Hey! Lord, naturally that I was sad, the lost soul this day, how been you able to give up me thus”? In a smile, Jesus answers her then: It is me who carried you! The victory also passes by there. In all humility, Jesus must has accept the assistance of a man, Simon of Cyrene, to carry the cross on which they went crucify Him. Looking at all the miracles that God expressed through Jesus-Christ, do you believe so heavy was this cross, it had been impossible for God to make it lighter to Jesus for better expressing His power? Is this more difficult to carry a cross or to say to a dead person, you rise and walk? All in the life of Jesus is a marvel of precision, and brings to us the aspiration of living led by the Holy Spirit and not by our power or our human strength, but most marvelous is however for after the victory over the carnal spirit. Yes for afterwards! When a champion passes to lead the finishing line, if he must renew its exploit ad infinitum, he is some then unable. Unlike that, when Jesus released from a sin, the victory is acquired and multiplies; it is the amazing thing about this experience. We speak obviously about the end result of the victories to obtain and not situations in which God works our heart and requires of us to abstain from this violence. All in us will be then claim with violence each time a thing makes us suffer. This suffering being then unbearable, we sometimes “will beat to we with him in our prayers”, when he asks us to repent us. We will always come up with a good excuse carnal that justify this violence, the others deserving it well. The victory over these attitudes will come sometimes quickly, but will often require much time and to see even more. One day will come however where full of goodwill we will start be sorry of it. First victory, Nth relapse, and the process will start again, once forgiveness, twice forgiveness, fifty times forgiveness, it will be always no good. We turning then towards Jesus, we will tell Him “Lord, I cannot, I see well that it would be better for me, but I cannot… Lord, gives me the desire to do it and forces to achieve it, because I believe it good for me, but I cannot it”. Nothing indeed is obtained without real repentance, but in joy of knowing oneself forgiven of him, in a whole confidence He will make us victorious and not ourselves. It will especially not be for us an easy solution, but quite to the contrary in the total admission of our incapacity to put into practice what we recognize good. This is why we can once again quote the Paul Apostle who says to us in (Romans 7-14/20) For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin. And I have no clear knowledge of what I am doing, for that which I have a mind to do, I do not, but what I have hate for, that I do. But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good. So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me. For I am conscious that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good: I have the mind but not the power to do what is right. For the good which I have a mind to do, I do not: but the evil which I have no mind to do, that I do. But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.//

Like Simon de Cyrene carried the cross of Jesus, Jesus will then carry ours. Once forgiveness, twice forgiveness, three times, and there… Yes there! At the time when once again we will be about to repeat this eternal error, a light will appear in us like a flash, comprehension will be instantaneous and to that we will say: “NOT”! It will be the day when God in his divine mercy, will have revealed us the source of our error and will have given us to be victorious of it in the same dimension as initially. The sin will not have been made, and we will have said: NOT! The carnal spirit that encouraged us with this violence as well in our heart as in our spirit will be overcome. He guided us towards the error since the day when, in all bitterness to be to us felt forsaken by this dad that we like so much, we had begun to hit in this large teddy which represented better our father. This time, God enlightened us; the victory came. We did not let ourselves to reproduce the same behavior. Five minutes after a reckless driver cuts us the road: To our greater surprise, contrary to all our practices, a simple shaking of head, then this personal interpellation. “Strange? I did not put myself in anger! ” Another circumstance arises, even reaction, a third, a fourth, “right, OK”, but as paradoxical as this can show to us, we did not enter in violence. It's like that, Jesus gives us to be victorious from our bad “instigators”, and then we can become admirers external of our own changes. In addition to the forgiveness of our sins, Jesus gives the capacity indeed not to sin more to the one who wants to follow it with sincerity and truth. God does not take pleasure with an eternal dimension of the sin, repentance, sin and repentance. He wants to lead us to the victory that he gained Himself for us, and not in masking what exists already by a carnal spirit better refined, but by giving us the authority over that who fool us and badgers us. Some temptations will come in the days or following weeks, like testing us, but those we will appear almost simple, like external to ourselves. If we their do not agree them, undoubtedly we will still not agree to be rejected like a normal thing, but our suffering will reach never again its old limits which tortured us previously. Our impulses towards the others, impossible in the past, will be crowned with success in any other part of our life where this violence made us weak, whereas we were considered strong to be violent one. We will be each day filled with wonder by the things of God, and we will understand also how much conflicts parents children pass unperceived from all, but build us however. The marvelous one and the supernatural one is to discover how much this instigator takes us for granted in the other parts of our life, whereas we had given him reason in so few things to our eyes. Through our carnal logic built by the suffering, Satan is the one who extirpates us the reactions that destroy us. As we looked at there are some pages, Jesus, born from God, from the womb of his mother, did not have this old software from the flesh to make die as we have to do it ourselves. To be found without spots, He however had to preserve it virgin. The least of all the smallest sins that He had been able to do, would have, if not, given rights to Satan to claim him to God in death. If He thus had given in to temptation by the least of the smallest transgressions of the Jewish law than God gave to Moses, He would not have been without spot in His soul. We would not profit either in him today, of all the potential of purification of our soul. Did this prevent him however from passing by this reference system which is the flesh? Absolutely not! He kept in all fields His free will, to take or not the right way, giving reason to the Spirit of God or the balance of power that is the flesh. Except for His mission of having to remain pure, in report of ours which is to purify us, His task was hundred percent identical to ours, and its possibilities of passing by the reference of the flesh or the Spirit was also with hundred percent the same ones. This is why He says “I come oh God, to make your will”. This thus brought back to us, made that, even with the baptism of the Holy Spirit, we keep our free will to use or not the guide of our flesh or the Holy Spirit. This power, this channel of waves could we say, if we compare it to television or radio wave, is therefore only one free access which we can always circumvent. This is why it is simple to use the Holy Spirit in serene and well thought out analysis, out of any scuffle, compared to what our flesh can consider just. The thing on the other hand, strongly becomes complicated when we choose to remain TRUE, and that our flesh highlights spontaneously our bad human nature during unexpected confrontations, related on the hubbub of the life and the reflex conditions it generates. This is why, we need to emerge winner, to be renewed by God to the image of what we have read at the beginning of this chapter “I will put my laws in their heart and I will write them in their intelligence”. The mechanism that occurs in us at this moment from victory undoubtedly becomes clear for much. The Holy Spirit having taken possession of the share of our heart that was still under the supervision of Satan by this “sin”, puts firstly a little more of the laws of God in our heart. Secondly: At the moment

0922 numéro 0922 à partir de 28/04/2015

when we said no to the behavior not in accordance with the Law of God, this share of old logic still written in our subconscious is erased to be rewritten in this new language of the Spirit of God. His laws are then written in our intelligence, but what glory gets us in return then? None! Because we capitulated to accomplish by ourselves, led by this carnal share which justified certain bad attitudes of heart, God came and has achieves it for us, in us, but often also physically. This is why we become more and more of the spectators filled with wonder by His miracles, because this baptism of fire of our old logic creates in us this deep desire, this dynamics of more God in us, but also more Love of our Next! To Him is all Glory!

Simply religious sincerity To the contrary of this happy and balancing spiritual approach subjected to the repentance and the transformation of ourselves by Holy God three times, Father, Son and Holy Spirit that one follows by the faith, are others which produce the opposite result in our heart, of which we often draw the image from the good acts that we must multiply to be pleasant at God. If we can then speak about simply religious sincerity, it is that they do not lead to a rewriting of the soul in the logic of the Spirit of God, but to the adoption by our carnal soul of additional rules to those already existing. The word “religious” does not become pejorative for all that, because it justifies on the contrary a great good will for the person in question. She is taken in trap by an authoritarian perseverance as well on herself as on others, who must then resemble to him more and more so that she approved them. This attitude then leads gradually to the reject of our errors from spontaneous reactions on those whom generated the circumstances of our sins. As long as in their presence we can be victorious of what we consider the evil, the author of the antagonistic situation in connection with our understanding remains somebody of acceptable but becomes a satanic good-for-nothing of whom we must protect ourselves if we fall into the error. We look at then the “bad” behaviors of the one who dragged us out of our limits, in order to look at us pure and just in the judgments which we bring on him, instead of us repentance of our faults. We are not worse than others when we lapse into this carnal attitude. We are simply fallen into a trap of the enemy of our souls to remain in a lower spiritual dimension of the flesh, awaiting then the correction, as Adam and Eve did it. To protect oneself from the temptation of the evil, certain isolate themselves from the rest of the world by four stonewalls, in order to preserve their soul of the “perdition”. Others, confronted with the need to live in our society, put scandalmonger ramparts, scorn, hypocrisy or all other carnal spirits like barrier at their temptations. It results from it of spiritual disabled persons, lame, and by direct consequence of cantankerous people, demanding, with many judgments. These people increase the dimension of their flesh by this attitude, for better to stifle their covetousness. They withdraw of their eyes and of the glance that the others could have on them what they consider being the “sin”, not to reproduce it. They are obviously these “poor wretch” that we will generally hear to accuse the others, “source of sin for them” and to push forward the name of God in the direction where Jacques Brel said, “as if the Good God walked under their shoes”. This dimension is only misleading appearance of the enemy. The first misled, and thus the more to be pitied, are those they act that way, because they cut themselves of a possible victory as we have just seen it. They compare their soul with the word of God, to even see with what the Holy Spirit shows them so that they are repentant of it, but contrary to any good sense, they hide it, cover it, hide it with deepest of their soul, behind ramparts of stones or judgment. The spiritual action that results from it is identical to that to humanly reject a spirit who dominates (attitude that we will not approach here) and whose Jesus describes us the process in (Matthew 1243/45) But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of a man, goes through dry places looking for rest, and getting it not. Then he says, I will go back into my house from which I came out; and when he comes, he sees that there is no one in it, but that it has been made fair and clean. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits worse than himself, and they go in and make it their living-place: and the last condition of that man is worse than the first. Even so will it be with this evil generation.// It is thus of those whom, acting in the flesh, mask an attitude that they reject, as being above that, but that the Holy Spirit did not came to replace, for lack of repentance. This hypocritical attitude of religiosity, which makes them change the others rather than to change themselves, conduits unfortunately with becoming each day depend on the enemy of our souls, until falling sometimes into

0923 numéro 0923 à partir de 28/04/2015

the religious fanaticism and fundamentalism. It is the fruit of this mechanism in the people no worse than others, associated with that which we already saw through Judas Iscariot, which however produced the crucifixion of Jesus (see page diagram: Divided heart). We must however remain very clear; even if certain teachings in Christian nature can possibly generate more easily than others this attitudes sort, the problem remains individual. The personal behavior of each one will admittedly affect the spirit of group, since “the heart” of the group is built with the image of the individual soul, but any Christian is responsible for his own acts in front of God. No one will not be able to say while arriving in front of the Eternal “yes, but so-and-so said…”. Not! It is at that we give reason today that will do that we will be tomorrow, to the day when Jesus will come back. He said it, what is born from the flesh is flesh, and what is born from the Spirit is Esprit. Does that want to say we must condemn these people who actually have of “God” only one appearance of external attitude? Obviously not! Their acts are and remain condemnable and cut them Divine Mercy as it is from any sin not repented, but they make part of the unfortunates that we all can be in a share of ourselves, for the only reason sometimes to be recognized of our entourage. In order to offend nobody, we will say we all can be to fall to a place or another from our life, in a similar error at theirs. It is however necessary to remain realistic and open the eyes on ourselves. How many times indeed each one of us must recognize that we take no account of certain attitudes, by an shallow appearance for example, like if: we “had never touched it”? If we see ourselves reacting thus sometimes, it is the proof that we again and always must to examine us! The religiosity is unfortunately in the heart of each one, since we all are descendant of Adam and Eve. It is not necessary besides to achieve an act to sin, to give reason to its covetousness in our hearts being sometimes worse at the eyes of God, because hypocritically lived then. Some are completely conscious of it, others a little less, and others not at all, but because they delude themselves and sometimes misuse much others, that would do of them Saints? 1 If we would want to somewhat play with words, that would more often make of them “Ace at saints ”, because they always criticize what they are able “to sin, without making”, contrary to their assassinated victims who are sometimes able “to make, without sinning”. They remain in addition for those who are made holy by the Blood of Jesus and who follow them, the “Ace” which it is necessary to become to be pleasant at God. For the majority of them, the main hobbyhorse remains generally sexuality, as for better whipping their own desires. Generally, they do what Jesus denounces in (Matthew 23-1/4) Then Jesus said to the people and to his disciples: The scribes and the Pharisees have the authority of Moses; All things, then, which they give you orders to do, these do and keep: but do not take their works as your example, for they say and do not. They make hard laws and put great weights on men’s backs; but they themselves will not put a finger to them.// 1) In French the rather fast pronunciation of “as à Saints”, is the same than “assassin”, i.e. “murder”. The author thus refers to the murderous words frequent between various Christian environments in France. The word "As" is in addition often employed to define the admiration granted to a singing or movie star or a champion. In this play with word he then underlines the idolatry of many Christians towards their spiritual guides who show for them a role of star, of superman. Many unfortunately draws their references from God image through these people, because they are the head accusers of any balance that God wants to give. They are always the slanderers who keep reign the fear and never the lawyers of the others. They pollute the image of God and, God Himself that many persons confuse then with the “Bogeyman ” who is the enemy of our souls. Another very frequent image of God is the one that does of Him a “philosophy”, like we will see it further. They are the perdition of the world; since it is because of them that many are diverted of God. We can have given them reason in one or many parts of our life, but it is never too late so that the Grace of God allows in repentance to us. Jesus came for the ill persons, and not for the good health persons. If we find the least bit lame share in our soul, then we are with him, and he only asks to come to cure us. It is never too late to do the right thing, as much as we have life. After… Nobody is at the shelter of the judgment of God and must think that his position protect him from what we can read in (Matthew 7-15/23) Be on the watch for false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inside they are cruel wolves. By their fruits you will get knowledge of them. Do men get grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree gives good fruit; but the bad tree gives evil fruit. It is not possible for a good tree to give bad fruit, and a bad tree will not give good fruit. Every tree that does not give good fruit is cut down and put in the fire. So by their fruits you will get knowledge of them.

Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will go into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the pleasure of my Father in heaven. A great number will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, were we not prophets in your name, and did we not by your name send out evil spirits, and by your name do works of power? And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil.// For God's, let us not give any more reason to the fear and the judgment. We did not read this passage for the others, but each one for ourselves, of which I do not make exception. Once again we can thus say that Jesus did not come to give us an example to be followed, but demonstrates to the human his carnal incapacity to manage the dimension of the Spirit of God, and consequently to go into the true Love of his neighbor. Any human, whatever intelligent he have got, who thus rejects the dimension of the Holy Spirit is exposed to having to manage his life by this old exceeded software, just like the one who will be to enter the Christian life led by some interest that it is, different of the research of the kingdom of God already on this earth. Certain indeed enter in the Christian life more by interest than by sincerity of heart of a real transformation of their own life. (Acts 8-18/22) Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the touch of the Apostles’ hands, he made them an offering of money, saying, Give me this power, so that when I put my hands on anyone he may get the Holy Spirit. But Peter said, May your money come to destruction with you, because you had the idea that what is freely given by God may be got for a price. You have no part in this business, because your heart is not right before God. Let your heart be changed, and make prayer to God that you may have forgiveness for your evil thoughts.// It is useful to come to aware that the spiritual field is all that there is of more real, even if we do not see it. Any reason not in conformity with the Spirit of God leads obligatorily to a carnal trap that will be closing in around early or late on its author. Whatever our armament made up of the baptism of the Holy Spirit or not, and the authority that God has gave us, one must not however leave inconsiderately to hunting to the “demons”. These attitudes can generate sometimes certain “miracles”, but if those do not lead to real the repentance of heart they are not used for nothing, that to lead us in extravagances once again religious, and beware then to be not clubbed. It was thus in a biblical example at the time of the Acts of the Apostles, in the years thus which followed the terrestrial life of Jesus (Acts 19-13/17) But some of the Jews who went from place to place driving out evil spirits, took it on themselves to make use of the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, I give you orders, by Jesus, whom Paul is preaching. And there were seven sons of a man named Sceva, a Jew and a chief priest, who did this. And the evil spirit, answering, said to them, I have knowledge of Jesus, and of Paul, but who are you? And the man in whom the evil spirit was, jumping on them, was stronger than the two of them, and overcame them, so that they went running from that house, wounded and without their clothing. And this came to the ears of all those, Jews and Greeks, who were living at Ephesus; and fear came on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was made great.//

We will not extend more on the bad attitudes from the simply religious man to turn us in the next chapter towards the result unfortunately so harmful that all these carnal attitudes generate all over the world, that it is Christian or not. It is the bad motive in our heart that we must aspire to discover with the assistance of God with an aim to repent us and to be one day made about it victorious, all the remainder is only vanity and… Vanity of vanities, it is it that still dominates over the world today, let’s hope we do not agree that it right!
