DID YOU BREAK-UP?

                                        

               THE BREAK-UP

“... IN LATTER TIMES “SOME” SHALL [CHOOSE OR DECIDE TO] ...DEPART FROM the [CHRISTIAN] ... FAITH !!!!...” (1 Timothy 4:1-3 KJV). “...Take heed, BRETHREN, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God...” (Hebrews 3:12 KJV). “...If ye continue in the faith ... and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel ...” (Colossians 1:22-23 KJV).

* 

“... I hate divorce!” says the Lord, the God of Israel. “…” (Malachi 2:16 NLT). By the POWER of the Word of GOD, The SPIRIT AND the soul CAN DIVIDE ASUNDER. “...the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,....” (Hebrews 4:12 NASB).

WHEN THE SPIRIT IS DIVIDED ASUNDER, BY THE POWERFUL WORD OF GOD, THE SOUL IS LEFT to itself. “…the body without (apart from) the spirit is dead…” (James 2:26 KJV).

WHEN THE SOUL, IS LEFT TO ITSELF, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT follow the SPIRIT OR DEPARTS FROM IT, THE SOUL AND SPIRIT DIVIDE, LIKE DIVORCEES, INTO THEIR “OWN” INDIVIDUAL PARTS. “... you WERE SEALED ...WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE.…” (Ephesians 1 NLT).  “... the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,....” (Hebrews 4:12 NASB). “…you have been cut off from Christ! …” (Galatians 5:4 NLT).

THE SPIRIT, THROUGH WHICH YOU EXPERIENCE SPIRITUAL LIFE, DIVIDES ASUNDER, THROUGH THE WORD, THE SOUL, THROUGH WHICH YOU EXPERIENCE NATURAL LIFE. “…It is the SPIRIT who gives “LIFE”; the flesh profits nothing…” (John 6:63 NASB). “….apart from … [God’s HOLY Spirit], [you can]… do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). “.. the word of God ... piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,....” (Hebrews 4:12 NASB).

THIS DIVIDING ASUNDER IS UNFORTUNATE FOR THE SOUL. THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS WHAT GIVES “THAT” SOUL THE UNITY, CONNECTION, KINSHIP, INTIMACY, ATTRACTION, OR AFFINITY TOWARD THE LIVING GOD, IS DIVIDED ASUNDER. “...The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right (TO HAVE A CONNECTION WITH GOD), but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.  And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right (REUNITE WITH GOD), but I can’t. I want to do what is good (BE INTIMATE WITH GOD), but I don’t. …I [am] …a slave to the sin that is … within me. Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin? …” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT).

APART FROM THE SPIRIT, THE SOUL WILL “NOT” HAVE THAT UNITY, CONNECTION, KINSHIP, INTIMACY, ATTRACTION, OR AFFINITY TOWARD GOD. “….apart from … [God’s HOLY Spirit], [you can]… do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). “…the body without (apart from) the spirit is dead…” (James 2:26 KJV).

MANKIND ORGINALLY CONSISTED OF THREE PARTS: BODY, SOUL, AND SPIRIT. THE SPIRIT MADE THE SOUL A “LIVING” SOUL. THE “LIVING” SOUL WAS IN A BODY. HOWEVER, THE BODY WITHOUT THE SPIRIT IS “DEAD.” “...LET US MAKE man in our image, after our likeness…” (Genesis 1:26 KJV).  “…And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground (body), and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (Holy Spirit); and man became a living soul (soul)…” (GENESIS 2:7 KJV).

ONE DAY THE SPIRIT, A PART OF ADAM AND EVE, WAS DIVIDED ASUNDER, BY THE WORD. THE WORD SAID, “…of every tree of the garden THOU MAYEST FREELY EAT: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou  SHALT NOT EAT of it; for in THE DAY THAT THOU EATEST thereof THOU SHALT SURELY DIE…” (Genesis 2:16-17 KJV).

THEY ATE AND AS THE WORD SAID; THEY DIED SPIRITUALLY. “….So she took some of the fruit and ATE IT. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and HE ATE IT, too …” (Genesis 3:1-7 NLT).“…THE DAY THAT THOU EATEST thereof “THOU SHALT SURELY DIE”…” (Genesis 2:16-17 KJV).

THE SOUL, OF ADAM AND EVE, WAS LEFT TO ITSELF. “…Your INIQUITIES (sin) have separated between you and your God, and YOUR SINS have hid his face from you, that he will not hear…” (Isaiah 59:2 KJV). “…It’s YOUR SINS that have cut you off from God. …” (Isaiah 59:2 NLT).

THE EFFECTS OF THE DIVIDING ASUNDER OF SOUL AND SPIRIT, ENTERED INTO THE WORLD. DEATH, THE CONSEQUENCE OF SIN, ENTERED INTO THE WORLD TOO. .  “...sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death passed to all men, for that all sinned—“(Romans 5:12 KJV).  “… SIN, when it is finished, BRINGETH FORTH DEATH…” (James 1:13-15 NLT).

SIN is the violation of God’s Holy standards (big or small). “…Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the [HOLY] …law: for sin is the transgression of the [HOLY] …law….” (1 John 3:4 KJV). “…Everyone who sins is breaking God’s [HOLY] …law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God….” (1 John 3:4 NLT).

ALL OF MANKIND ARE BORN, WITHOUT THE SPIRIT AND ARE INFECTED WITH THE TERMINAL DISEASE OF SIN THAT LEADS ULTIMATELY TO ETERNAL DEATH. “…ALL HAVE SINNED and fallen short of the glory of God…” (Romans 3:23).

WITHOUT A CURE FOR THE TERMINAL DISEASE OF SIN ALL OF MANKIND IS DOOMED TO ETERNAL DEATH. “…the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23 KJV).

THE CURE IS A RESTORAL TO THE SPIRIT. “…Who will free me from this life that is dominated by SIN? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT).

THE SPIRIT CANNOT MIX WITH SIN. “…It’s YOUR SINS that have cut you off  from God (who is HOLY)…” (Isaiah 59:2 NLT). HOWEVER, “…He loved us and sent his Son …” (1 John 4:10 NIV).  “… [He sent the] …one … who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT).

MANKIND WAS ORGINALLY CREATED SINLESS AND THAT SINLESS LIFE WAS UNITED WITH THE SPIRIT. Adam and Eve was CREATED WHOLE (body, soul, and the indwelling Holy Spirit). “…And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground (body), and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (Holy Spirit); and man became a living soul (soul)…” (GENESIS 2:7 KJV). “….God saw every thing he had made……and, [said] … it was VERY GOOD…” (Genesis 1:31 KJV).

 BUT “THAT” ONCE SINLESS LIFE BOUGHT DEATH TO ALL OF MANKIND. “...Wherefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death passed to all men, for that all sinned—“(Romans 5:12 KJV). “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23 KJV).

GOD CREATED ANOTHER SINLESS MAN, JESUS CHRIST. “… [He sent the ] …one … who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT).“…Jesus Christ maketh thee whole (SAVES, RESTORES , AND MAKES YOU WHOLE YOU AGAIN)…” (Acts 9:34 KJV).

JESUS TRADED HIS SINLESS LIFE, FOR THE LIFE OF ALL THOSE AFFECTED BY THE TERMINAL DISEASE OF SIN. “...For Christ also died for sins ONCE for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;” (1 Peter 3:18 NASB).

 IF THEY ACCEPTED HIS SACRIFICE THEY WOULD BE MADE “WHOLE” AGAIN: BODY, SOUL, AND SPIRIT. “… [YOUR] … iniquities (sin) …separated [YOUR]… from God… …” (Isaiah 59:2 KJV). “…Confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and … BELIEVE IN THINE HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED…” (ROMANS 10:9 KJV). “…Jesus Christ maketh thee whole (RESTORES YOU AGAIN)…” (Acts 9:34 KJV). NLT). “…The GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ ….” (Romans 6:23 KJV).

GOD SO LOVED THE WORD, HE GIVE JESUS, HIS WORD, AND WHOEVER BELIEVED UPON HIS WORD AND DEPENDED UPON HIS WORD WOULD BECOME SAVED OR REUNITED WITH HIS SPIRIT, WHICH IS SPIRITUAL LIFE. “…God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16 KJV). “... Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (substitute, intervention) for our sins.” (1 John 4:10 KJV). “…Christ (the HEALING solution or CURE) also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us [back] to God …” (1 Peter 3:18 KJV). That he might bring us back into UNITY and WHOLENESS with God, the Holy Spirit.

JESUS, ANOTHER SINLESS MAN BOUGHT SPIRITUAL LIFE TO OF MANKIND. “... When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought [spiritual] ... death, so [spiritual] ... death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned (is born without the indwelling Holy Spirit) ... But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought [spiritual] death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ. And the result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s free gift leads to our being made right with God (being restored, reunited with the Holy Spirit again), even though we are guilty of many sins. For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ...” (Romans 5:10-16 NLT).

  “…, my righteous servant (Jesus) ... [made]... it possible for many to be counted righteous, for he will bear all their sins…” (Isaiah 53:11 NLT).

ALL THE SOULS THAT ACCEPT, JESUS, THE SACRIFICE, WOULD BE RESTORED AND REUNITED WITH THE SPIRIT. “… [He sent the ] …one … who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT).“…Jesus Christ maketh thee whole (SAVES, RESTORES , AND MAKES YOU WHOLE YOU AGAIN)…” (Acts 9:34 KJV). “…Confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and … BELIEVE IN THINE HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED…” (ROMANS 10:9 KJV).

By the POWER of the Word of GOD, The SPIRIT AND the soul CAN REUNITE. “… [The] Good News about Christ (GOD, the WORD)… It is the power of God at work, saving  everyone who believes (WHO DEPENDS UPON HIS WORD)…” (Romans 1:16 NLT). “… [JESUS, THE WORD, THE] …one … who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT).“…Jesus Christ maketh thee whole (AGAIN)…” (Acts 9:34 KJV).

WHEN THE SPIRIT IS REUNITED, BY THE POWERFUL WORD OF GOD, THE SOUL IS MADE WHOLE. ).“…Jesus Christ maketh thee whole (AGAIN)…” (Acts 9:34 KJV).

WHEN THE SOUL, IS MADE WHOLE, IT IS BECAUSE IT IS JOINED AND REUNITED WITH THE SPIRIT AGAIN, THE SOUL AND SPIRIT REUNITED, LIKE MARRIED FOLKS, BECOME “ONE” (SOUL AND SPIRIT).“…He [or she]… that is joined unto the Lord is ONE SPIRIT….” (1 Corinthians 6:17).

THROUGH THE SOUL YOU ONLY EXPERIENCE NATURAL LIFE, BUT THROUGH THE SPIRIT YOU EXPERIENCE SPIRITUAL LIFE, WHEN REUNITED BY THE WORD OF GOD. “…the Holy Spirit gives birth to (or restores) SPIRITUAL LIFE…” (John 3:6 NLT).  God is a “…restorer of thy life…” (Ruth 4:15 KJV). “…He restoreth my SOUL…” (Psalm 23 KJV). “…The law of the LORD (the WORD of God) is perfect, restoring the SOUL…” (Psalm 19 NASB). “….He (the WORD OF GOD) restoreth my soul….” (PSALM 23:1-3 NLT). “…I (God, the holy spirit) will restore…” (Jeremiah 30:17 KJV).  “….Jesus Christ (the WORD of GOD) maketh thee WHOLE (AGAIN)…” (Acts 9:34 KJV). “... and man became a living soul …” (Genesis 2:7 KJV).

THIS REUNION WITH THE SPIRIT IS A BLESSING FOR THE SOUL AND GIVES “THAT” SOUL A RENEWED UNITY, CONNECTION, KINSHIP, INTIMACY, ATTRACTION, OR AFFINITY TOWARD THE LIVING GOD. “... You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You...” (Psalms 63:1 NLT).

WHEN THE SOUL IS REUNITED WITH THE SPIRIT, IT IS NO LONGER LEFT TO ITSELF, BUT BECOMES ENLIGHTENED, NOURISHED BY THE WORD, EXPERIENCES THE UNION AND INTIMACY WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, RECEIVES MULTIPLY GIFTS FROM HEAVEN, AND EXPERIENCES THE POWER OF GOD THROUGH SIGNS, WONDERS, AND MIRACLES. “…  it those who were once enlightened—those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit,  who have tasted the goodness of the Word of God and the power of the age to come …” (Hebrews 6:4-8 NLT).

ALL IS WELL WITH THE SOUL REUNITED WITH THE SPIRIT. “….Jesus Christ (the WORD of GOD) maketh thee WHOLE (AGAIN)…” (Acts 9:34 KJV). “... and man became a living soul …” (Genesis 2:7 KJV).

HOWEVER, EVEN WITH ALL THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS. THERE OF SOME WHO WILL DEPART FROM THE SPIRIT, BY CHOICE, LEAVING THEIR SOULS TO THEMSELVES. “... IN LATTER TIMES “SOME” SHALL [CHOOSE OR DECIDE TO] ...DEPART FROM the FAITH !!!!...” (1 Timothy 4:1-3 KJV). “…  and who then ..[CHOSE TO] ... turn away from God …” (Hebrews 6:4-8 NLT). “...Take heed, BRETHREN (fellow believers), lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God...” (Hebrews 3:12 KJV). “...If ye ...[CHOOSE TO] .... continue in the faith (OR continue TO DEPEND upon god) ... and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel ...” (Colossians 1:22-23 KJV).

GOD DOES NOT CHANGE. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE DIVIDING ASUNDER OF SOUL AND SPIRIT, BY THE WORD, WILL STILL TAKE PLACE. . “…I change NOT…” (Malachi 3:6 KJV). “…It’s YOUR SINS that … [will] ...cut you off from God…” (Isaiah 59:2 NLT). . “…Your INIQUITIES … separated … you and your God…” (Isaiah 59:2 KJV). “…what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ (the Word of TRUTH) with Belial (the DEVIL or Father of LIES)? Or what part hath he that believeth (depends upon God) with an infidel (one who doesn’t depend upon God)?” (2 Corinthians 6:14-15 KJV).

SOULS WILL DIE AN ETERNAL DEATH. EVEN THOSE REUNITED SOULS CAN DEPART, BY CHOICE, AND FALL AWAY FROM THE SPIRIT. “... Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,  idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God...” (Galatians 5:19-21 NASB). “…You have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s GRACE…” (Galatians 5:4 NLT). “…Your INIQUITIES … separated … you and your God…” (Isaiah 59:2 KJV).

THE SOUL AND SPIRIT DIVIDED ASUNDER, LEAVES THE SOUL TO ITSELF. THE SOUL LEFT TO IT SELF HAS NO OTHER WAY TO BE SAVED OR REUNITED TO THE SPIRIT, EXCEPT THROUGH JESUS, THE SACRIFICE. “... Jesus saith…I am the way…” (John 14:6 KJV). “…SALVATION is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved…” (Acts 4:12 NIV). “…And there is SALVATION in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved…” (Acts 4:12 NASB).

GOD SENT JESUS, BECAUSE HE DIDN’T WANT ANYONE TO PERISH. God “….is ... NOT WILLING that any should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance…” (2 Peter 3:9 KJV).

HE WANTS TO KEEP THE ONES HE HAS AND WON’T LET ANYONE TAKE THEM FROM HIM. HE WANTS TO RAISE THEM UP ON THE LAST DAY. HE WILL KEEP THEM FROM FALLING. “... This is the will (CHOICE, DESIRE, HEART) of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I (CHOOSE, DON’T WANT TO) lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will (CHOICE, DESIRE, HEART) of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day...” (John 6:39-40 NASB).  “... Now unto HIM (Jesus Christ) that is ABLE to KEEP you from falling (away), and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy...” (Jude 1:24 KJV).

HOWEVER, THOUGH HE IS FAITHFUL TO EVERY PROMISE HE HAS MADE TO EVERY SOUL, SOME WILL STILL PERISH, SOME WILL STILL LEAVE HIS HANDS, SOME WILL “NOT” BE RAISED ON THE LAST DAY, AND SOME WILL STILL FALL. “… [YOU CHOOSE]... this day whom ye will serve….” (Joshua 24:15 KJV). “…He that believeth on him is not condemned: but HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, because HE HATH NOT BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And THIS IS THE CONDEMNATION, that light is come into the world, and MEN LOVED DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT, because THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved…” (John 3:18-20 KJV). “... The judgment ... [will be]... based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil...” (John 3:19 NLT).  “... everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed...” (John 3:20 NASB).

WHY WILL THIS HAPPEN? BECAUSE GOD WILL NOT “FORCE” HIS PEOPLE TO REMAIN SAVED, OR STAY IN HIS HANDS, OR ABIDE WITH HIM; IT IS THEIR CHOICE. EVERY SINGLE BELIEVER HAS HUMAN WILL. “… [YOU CHOOSE]... this day whom ye will serve….” (Joshua 24:15 KJV). “…[You choose to] ... abide in me, and I in you. (John 15:4 KJV),

GOD’S PROMISES ARE SOLID, BUT YOU CHOOSE TO ABIDE IN THOSE PROMISES. “…If a man abide NOT [choose to] ... in me, ‘he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered…” (John 15:6 KJV).“…The branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me ... apart from Me you can do nothing…” (John 15:4-6 NASB).

BECOMING SAVED IS A ONE-TIME DECISION TO ACCEPT JESUS INTO YOUR HEART“…confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and … believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved...” (ROMANS 10:9 KJV). .

REMAINING SAVED IS A LIFE-LONG DECISION TO ABIDE AND ENDURE WITH JESUS THROUGHOUT THE EARTHY PROCESS. .“...HE (SHE) THAT “SHALL” ENDURE (CONTINUE, BEAR UP, ETC.) UNTO THE END SHALL BE SAVED...” (Matthew 24:13 KJV).

JESUS, FREED THE SOUL FROM THE SLAVERY OF SIN, THROUGH THE REUNIFICATION WITH THE SPIRIT, BUT IF THAT SOUL GOES BACK TO PRACTICING SIN AGAIN, IT HAS DEPARTED FROM THE SPIRIT. “... It was for FREEDOM that Christ set us FREE; therefore keep standing firm (enduring) and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery...” (Galatians 5:1 NASB).  

“... Stand fast (keep enduring) therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us FREE, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage..” (Galatians 5:1 KJV).

“...HE THAT “SHALL” (WILL) ENDURE (NOT GET ENTANGLED IN THE PRACTICE OF SIN AGAIN, BUT THOSE WHO ENDURE) UNTO THE END SHALL (WILL) BE SAVED...” (Matthew 24:13 KJV).  “...For if, after they (THOSE FREED FROM SIN) have escaped ... they (THOSE FREED FROM SIN) are AGAIN entangled in them (their former sinful lifestyles practices) ... it would be better for them (THOSE FREED FROM SIN) not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment ... It has happened to them (THOSE FREED FROM SIN) according to the true proverb, “A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT,” and, “A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire...” (2 Peter 2:20-23 NASB).

 “... EVERYONE (NO EXCEPTIONS) who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness ... the one who practices sin is of the devil ... No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of GOD..” (1 John 3:7-10 NASB).

“…what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ (the Word of TRUTH) with Belial (the DEVIL or Father of LIES)? Or what part hath he that believeth (depends upon God) with an infidel (one who doesn’t depend upon God)?” (2 Corinthians 6:14-15 KJV).THEREFORE, THE WORD DIVIDES ASUNDER SOUL AND SPIRIT AND THE SOUL IS LEFT TO ITSELF WILL NO LONGER HAVE ANY UNITY, CONNECTION, KINSHIP, INTIMACY, ATTRACTION, OR AFFINITY TOWARD THE LIVING GOD. “…Be ye NOT unequally yoked together with unbelievers...” (2 Corinthians 6:14-15 KJV).

THE SOUL LEFT TO ITSELF IS INVITES CONDEMNATION AND PUNISHMENT INTO THEIR “OWN” LIVES. GOD SAID TO ADULTEROUS ISRAEL: “... She (REPRESENTS GOD’S PEOPLE) is not my wife, and I am not her husband ... let her put away her harlotry ... And her adultery  (HER SINFUL PRACTICES)... Or I will strip her naked And expose her as on the day when she was born. I will also make her like a wilderness, Make her like desert land And slay her with thirst (HIS PEOPLE ARE WILLFULLY RETURNING TO LIFE WITHOUT HIS SPIRIT AND THEY WILL EXPERIENCE THE PUNISHMENT OF THEIR DEPARTURE) ... she said, ‘I will go after my lovers (HIS PEOPLE WILL GO AFTER THEIR FORMER SINS), Who give me my bread and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink. ’ (THERE WILL BE ALL KINDS OF DISTRESS, UNHAPPINESS, DARKNESS, AND HINDERANCES IN THEIR SINFUL PRACTICES, BECAUSE THE BLESSING OF THE SPIRIT IS GONE) “Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her way with thorns, And I will build a wall against her so that she cannot find her paths. “She will pursue her lovers, but she will not overtake them; And she will seek them, but will not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go back to my first husband,  For it was better for me then than now!” (Hosea 14:1-14 NLT)

THE SOUL LEFT TO ITSELF WILL COME TO REALIZE IT WAS THE SPIRITUAL LIFE BLESSED THAT THEM AND”NOT” THEIR FLESH, WHICH HAS DONE NOTHING FOR THEM AT ALL. “…It is the SPIRIT who gives “LIFE”; the flesh profits nothing…” (John 6:63 NASB). “…What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world (fool people with outward, religious phoniness), and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36 KJV). “…EXCEPT YE REPENT, ye shall all likewise PERISH…” (Luke 13:3 KJV).

IN THE FOLLOWING VERSES, GOD’S PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED AND EXPERIENCED SORROW FOR DEPARTING FROM GOD AND PRACTICING THEIR SINS. THEY HAVE MISUSED AND MISUNDERSTOOD THE BLESSINGS OF THE SPIRITUAL UNION. GOD SAID TO ADULTEROUS ISRAEL: “... “...For she does not know (SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS) that it was I (GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT) who gave her the grain, the new wine and the oil (ALL THEIR BLESSINGS), And [his people were blessed, lavishly, with] ... silver and gold, Which they used for Baal (GOD’S PEOPLE TOOK THE SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS OF GOD AND USED THEM FOR THEIR SINFUL PRACTICES). “Therefore, I will take back My grain at  harvest time And My new wine in its season. I will also take away My wool and My flax Given to cover her nakedness. (GOD DOES NOT BLESS SINFUL PRACTICES. HIS PEOPLE, WHO DEPART FROM HIM, WILL EXPERIENCE SPIRITUAL PROVERTY AND WRETCHNESS WITHOUT HIM). “And then I will uncover her lewdness In the sight of her lovers, And no one will rescue her out of My hand. (SINFUL PRACTICES BRING RUINOUS CHASTISEMENT UPON THOSE WHO DEPART FROM GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT). “I will also put an end to all her gaiety, Her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths And all her festal assemblies. (WHILE PRACTICING SIN, GOD’S PEOPLE, CAN NOT TRULY AND AUTHENTICALLY OBSERVE A HOLY SABBATH RESERVED FOR THE “ONE” TRUE GOD).“I will destroy her vines and fig trees, Of which she said, ‘These are my wages Which my lovers have given me.’ And I will make them a forest, And the beasts of the field will devour them. “I will punish her for the days of the Baals When she used to offer sacrifices to them And adorn herself with her earrings and jewelry, And follow her lovers, (WITHOUT THE SPIRIT THAT ARE NO TRUE SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS. GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE GIVER OF TRUE SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS AND IS SOURCE, IN WHICH, ALL TRUE SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS FLOW) so that she forgot Me,” declares the Lord...” (Hosea 2:1-14 NLT). TO FORGET GOD IS TO DEPART AND COMPLETELY LEAVE HIM OUT OF YOUR HEART AND LIFE.

.“… [YOU]… FORGOT all about ME,” says the Lord…” (Hosea 2:13 NLT). “… you became proud and FORGOT ME….” (Hosea 13:6 NLT). “…Does a young woman forget her jewelry, or a bride her wedding dress? Yet for years on end my people have FORGOTten ME…” (Jeremiah 2:32 NLT).

“…They ABANDONED ME and did not obey my word….” (JEREMIAH 16:11 NLT). “…They ABANDONED the Lord… they turned their backs on him….” (2 Chronicles 29:6 NLT). “…The Lord replies, “This has happened because my people have ABANDONED MY INSTRUCTIONS; they have refused to obey what I said….” (JEREMIAH 9:13 NLT).

THUS, THE SOUL LEFT TO ITSELF, AFTER HAVE PERSONALLY “KNOWN” THE SPIRIT, WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RETURN TO REPENTANCE THROUGH TRADITIONAL OR NATURAL. “... For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them...” (2 Peter 5:4 KJV). “… For it is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were once enlightened—those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit,  who have tasted the goodness of the Word of God and the power of the age to come— and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame. …” (Hebrews 6:4-8 NLT). “... IN LATTER TIMES “SOME” SHALL DEPART FROM the FAITH!!!!...” (1 Timothy 4:1-3 KJV).

THE DIVIDING ASUNDER OF SOUL AND SPIRIT IS A PROBLEM “ONLY” GOD CAN FIX. “…The things which are impossible with men … [are] …POSSIBLE… [with God] …” (Luke 18:27 KJV).   “…I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV).

THE SOUL LEFT TO ITSELF CAN CHOOSE TO BE RETURN TO GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT AGAIN. GOD IS A GOD OF LOVE. HE ALWAYS DESIRES TO RECONCILE.  HE DOES NOT DESIRE TO RECONCILE OR HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH THE UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. HE LISTENS FOR THE CALL OF THOSE WHO WANT TO RECONCILE AND BE SAVED. “…For WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED…” (Romans 10:13 KJV). “….call upon me …and pray unto me and I will [LISTEN] unto you…” (Jeremiah 29:12-13 KJV).

GOD WILL TAKE THE DEPARTED SOUL BACK. “... Therefore, behold, I will allure her, (GOD DRAWS, MANKIND, ALWAYS WITH HIS IMMUTABLE LOVE) Bring her into the wilderness And speak kindly to her. “Then I will give her her vineyards from there, And the valley of Achor as a door of hope. (THE DEFEAT AND DISASTER FROM PRACTICING SIN, BECOMES A PLACE OF HOPE FOR RETURNING TO THE IMMUTABLE LOVE OF GOD) And she will sing there as in the days of her youth, As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt. “It will come about in that day,” declares the Lord, “That you will call Me Ishi And will no longer call Me Baali. (THE HOPE FOUND IN GOD’S IMMUTABE LOVE WILL REMOVE AND ERADICATE THE SINFUL PRACTICES AND THE REMNANT WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LIVING GOD IS “THEIR” GOD) “For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, So that they will be   mentioned by their names no more. (GOD HEALS THE APOSTASY OF HIS PEOPLE AND HE DOES NOT CHANGE. HIS IMMUTABLE LOVE “STILL” HEALS APOSTASY IN THE 21^ST CENTURY) “In that day I will also make a covenant for them With the beasts of the field, The birds of the sky And the creeping things of the ground. And I will abolish the bow, the sword and war from the land, And will make them lie down in safety. “I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, In lovingkindness and in compassion. And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. (GOD’S IMMUTABLE LOVE AND FORGIVENESS HEALS THE COVENANT, MARITAL RELATIONSHIP WITH APOSTATES AND RESTORES THE UNION BETWEEN SOUL AND SPIRIT) Then you will know the Lord. “It will come about in that day that I will respond,” declares the Lord. “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth, And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and to the oil, And they will respond to Jezreel.  “I will sow her for Myself in the land. I will also have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion, (DESPITE THEIR TERRIBLE APOSTASY, GOD REUNITES THE SPIRIT AND SOUL. THE UNION BECOMES A BLESSING TO THE SOUL AGAIN AND THE SOUL SERVES A GREATER PURPOSE THAT NOT ONLY BLESSES THEM BUT THEIR BLESSING WILL  DISPERSE AND OVERFLOW TO MANY, MANY OTHERS) And I will say to those who were not My people, ‘You are My people!’ And they will say, ‘You are my God!’...” (Hosea 2:14-23 NLT).

“... For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them...” (2 Peter 5:4 KJV). “… For it is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were once enlightened—those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit,  who have tasted the goodness of the Word of God and the power of the age to come— and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame. …” (Hebrews 6:4-8 NLT). “... IN LATTER TIMES “SOME” SHALL DEPART FROM the FAITH!!!!...” (1 Timothy 4:1-3 KJV).

AT THIS POINT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE AND TOO HARD FOR ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING, METHODOLOGY, MINISTRY, IDEOLOGY, PREACHER, EVANGELISTS, OR THEOLGY TO HELP THE APOSTATE MUST CHOOSE TO. “ ... Return ... to the Lord ... [THEIR] ... God... [GOD] ... will heal [THEIr] ... apostasy ... [AND] ... will love them freely..” (Hosea 14:1-4 NLT).

“… the GRACE of God, and the gift by GRACE, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath ABOUNDED unto many…” (Romans 5:15 KJV).  “…God is able to make all GRACE abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things…” (2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV). “…My GRACE is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness...” (2 Corinthians 12:9 KJV). “..Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of GRACE, that we may obtain mercy, and find GRACE to help in time of need…” (Hebrews 4:16 KJV). “…where sin abounded, GRACE did much more abound…” (Romans 5:20 KJV). “…They which receive abundance of GRACE … shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ…” (Romans 5:17 KJV). “….mercy triumphs over judgement…” (James 2:13 NASB).

God is“... RICH IN MERCY…” (Ephesians 2:1-5 KJV). “…The Lord is ...of great mercy…” (Number 14:18 KJV). “…The Lord God, [IS] merciful …” (Exodus 34:6 KJV). “…Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because HE DELIGHTETH IN MERCY…” (Micah 7:18 KJV). “…Mercy triumphs over judgement.” (James 2:13 NASB).

 Therefore, “…He helps me…” (Psalms 28:7 NLT). “…The Lord helps them, rescuing them from the wicked. He saves them, and they find shelter in him…” (Psalms 37:40 NLT). “…Blessed are those who wait for his help…” (Isaiah 30:18 NLT). “…The Lord who made you and helps you says: Do not be afraid …my servant …my chosen one…” (Isaiah 44:2 NLT). “… The Sovereign Lord helps me…” (Isaiah 50:7 NLT).  “… The Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness…” (Romans 8:26 NLT). “…You are my helper and my savior…” (Psalms 40:17 NLT). “..Therefore come boldly unto the throne of GRACE, that [you]… may obtain mercy, and find GRACE to help in time of need…” (Hebrews 4:16 KJV). “….Then you will know that I am the Lord your God…’” (Exodus 16:12 NLT).

GOD IS YOUR “ONLY” SAVING GRACE. YOU MUST GO TO GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND HIM ALONE! “ ... Return ... to the Lord your God, For you have stumbled because of your iniquity (SINFUL LIFESTYLE PRACTICES). Take words with you and return to the Lord. Say to Him, “Take away all iniquity And receive us graciously, That we may present the fruit of our lips. “Assyria will not save us, We will not ride on horses; Nor will we say again, ‘Our god,’ To the work of our hands; For in You the orphan finds mercy.” [THE LOVING GOD SAYS:] ... I will heal their apostasy, I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from them...” (Hosea 14:1-4 NLT).

“…you have been cut off from Christ! …” (Galatians 5:4 NLT).

 “…You have fallen away from God’s GRACE…” (Galatians 5:4 NLT).

“… REMEMBER THEREFORE,... [WHO YOU HAVE FALLEN  AWAY FROM AND]…repent and do the first works …” (REVELATION 2:2 KJV).

“… an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God” (Hebrews 3:12 KJV). 

Therefore, “…I HAVE SOMEWHAT AGAINST [you] …[YOU HAVE]…LEFT [YOU]R… FIRST LOVE (which is God, the Holy Spirit…” (REVELATION 2:4 KJV). “… [YOU ARE DEMONSTRATING THE FRUIT OF] ... an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God...” (Hebrews 3:12 KJV).

“… repent and DO the first [INTIMATE]…works…” (Revelation 2:5 KJV). "…Therefore REPENT AND RETURN, “SO” that your sins may be wiped away…” (Acts 3:19 NASB).
