Two Fruits of Darkness.....written by deno......share freely.
Two Fruits of Darkness....
.........There exist a darkness whereby men are blind to heavenly things. They say in their heart, there is no God. These in their heart sometimes try and test the limits. They say, let us come against those that believe. Let us unite and cut them off from the earth, for who sees us above? There are no divine eyes. Blood has not a voice to cry from the ground up. It cries unto no one in the heavens to be avenged.
.........These blind hearts and minds known as atheist have murdered millions and burned and torn down churches in the nations revealed in history. In their hearts they see not nor hear the voice of the Lord. They are stone in heart and the fear of the Lord is not found in them. Only in hell have they a wake up call but for them its to late and they perish without remedy of soul and spirit.
.......There exist also this darkness of darkness. Men's hearts deceived and misdirected about heavenly things. They are children of the substitute. They are hearts of the counterfeit. They are the offspring of the ones who follow THE OTHER VOICE that Jesus spoke of. They are the misinformed.
........Like the chaff they are severed from eternal hope like chaff is from the wheat by the winds of demons who transform themselves to be perceived as messengers of light. Deceiving spirits have laid holt upon them. They are the ones that think in their hearts that by killing Christians and Jews they are doing Gods will and business. Oh how great their darkness is that they think is light and preach as light.
.......These appear to be religious but are wolves in religious apparel. They thirst for the blood of those who disagree. They make chants of friction and live to spread dread by the terror their darkness brings. They are the wild and unruly donkey's of the true scriptures who are a thorn in the flesh to all men. Their heads hard as a bulls horn. Hard as the bulls forehead so is their resistance to God and His Son the true Messiah.
.......Like a wild donkey they kick and buck against what is the real divine truth. Their deception is deep. Their darkness thicker than the darkest night. They have lost sight of the doctrine that even Satans feet once walked upon the holy place of God in the highest of heavens. He knows what heaven looks like. His eyes have beheld the shape of The King. He knows what God looks like and sounds like as to form his counterfeit to deceive. And he has deceived the children who are wild as an unruly donkey who refuses to listen to no man except by the affliction of fierce painful rebukes of Arms stronger than theirs. These torture and kill others thinking they are doing Gods work and for heavenly merit. But how great they are deceived. They reap more pain than they sowed. No heaven they find after their dissimulation of their bodies into bits and pieces. They were the religiously deceived, Satans favorite prey. Their soul is now the daily meal of the lions lying spirits that deceived them.
.........Yes both of these groups mentioned above are people of great darkness. Jesus said, If what you have in you is darkness but you think it is light, How great then is your darkness measure that is inside you.? In other words, How great then is your deception within you.????....Jesus is Lord.
.......Jesus is the Christ the Son of the Living God..He loved us and gave himself for us....He died for our sins punishment and rose again from the dead for our assurance of eternal life and true hope.....If that which is in you disagrees with these words, your light then is really darkness......share freely......deno.

Deno Smith Yula......God gave us the power, the plenty, and the ability to raise the children, to nourish and to cherish them. It is not God or His heart that is the problem. He gave us all as His gift (THE PLANET) with all its vast resources, and God gave us all our children to love, care for, nourish and to raise. He gave us the know how and the plenty to feed all and to take care of all. It is our evil hearts of greed and selfishness that is starving the children and withholding from them, Not God. We should judge ourselves in this matter, NOT GOD. He did His part. He gave us the planet, the plenty, and the power over it all and the ability to till it. Instead of exercising our passions on blaming God for the children starving and trying to say that He is some sort of an evil monster, if we have the power to feed the poor and we do, and if it is in our ability to do so but we don't, WHO THEN IS THE REAL MONSTER?... WE THEN ARE THE EVIL MONSTERS, not the Lord our Redeemer who loved us and gave himself for us.. So I ask you, who is the evil ones? God or us?

Deno Smith This scripture sealed the Arks survival victory thru the flood. Genesis 7:16....they went in as GOD COMMANDED THEM, and the Lord Shut him in.....The covenant keeping God who gives HIS Covenant Success Blessing on the works of our hands, it was He that SHUT THE DOOR of the Ark. God and His Covenant Success Blessing was on the scene. From the first board connected to the second board all the way to the final board put in its place, God blessed it all with HIS KEEPING POWER. The same power of God that God poured into Jesus when He raised His Son from the dead, God used that same glory and poured it upon the Ark guaranteeing the Arks survival unto its landing on the mountains of Ararat. He that upholds the Universe thru the Word of His Power was the upholder and insurer of the Arks Complete Success. It was the GOD FACTOR that made the Ark Successfully Complete its mission purpose and reach its final resting place, so it was with Christ.

We Measure Gods Love For Us Only By The Cross of Christ...Answering Why?......deno......share freely.
Scriptures.
.....For God so loved the world....
.....We know and believe in the love God has for us....
.....Not that we loved God but that He loved us....
.....Gods love in Christ, that love has been shed throughout our hearts by the Holy Spirit..
.....God showed us His love for us in this, when we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly.
.....No greater love exist above this, that a man lay down his life to save his friends.
.....Love one another as Christ has loved you.
.....The Lord loves His church, He nourishes and cherishes it for it is His own flesh.
......I am persuaded that there is nothing that shall be able to separated us from the love God has for us, shown us in Christ.
Lesson Light....All of us as we increase and grow in Christ, eventually we are tempted to take our eyes off of the heart of our hope and that heart and its light is Gods incredible GREAT LOVE that He has for us as the Cross of His Son reveals..
.........Jesus said in John 17:23, He prayed that we would come to realize, and even all the world, realize that God loves us all EVEN AS HE LOVES JESUS...At first that is hard for some to chew on, but no matter how hard it seems to be to believe, Jesus said it therefore that scripture, that revealing truth cannot be broken....It stands even as Jesus spoke it. God loves us even as He loves Jesus.
.........Jesus never ever doubted the Fathers love for him or for us, NEVER. No matter what came against him, no matter the back talk of people, no matter that people took stones up to stone him, or palm branches up to praise him, and even though many, even members of his on family did not believe He was the Son of God for awhile and told him that he had lost his mind, Jesus still, not even in the slightest bit ever doubted questioned or doubted Gods great love for him and for us. He did not look for pleasant things or pleasant pastures to be the proof of the Fathers love for him, and Jesus did not let rough waters and persecutions make him doubt Gods love for Him. He knew the Father and He knew that nothing would ever separate him from His Fathers love, not even hammer and nails, nor a mighty rejection of this world that rose up against him..
.........Jesus knew the Fathers love. He knew God is Love... He Knew the Fathers heart. And not even his pain and sufferings on that cross made him question Gods love for him even though he was in tremendous pains on the cross that redeemed us.. He knew the Father was faithful and He could trust His Spirit into His Hands from the cross to the resurrection day. He did not let his pains be his measuring stick of Gods love for him or his rough circumstances, Jesus in his heart KNEW THE FATHER...That knowing sustained him thru all the pleasant days and thru all the persecution, hate and hell that this world threw against him.
.........We to must not look at this worlds circumstances or our circumstances or conditions in this life to be what we measure Gods love for us by, nor His presence with us by. Our faith in Gods love is based on and grows upon the love we see that God has for us in the giving of His Son for our sins on the Cross. From that light which shines from the Cross of Christ, our faith in Gods love finds its true foundation and our faith in Gods love grows and increases....Take your faith and eyes off what the cross preaches and try to base or measure Gods love for you by this world and your circumstances and you enter Satans deceiving territory.
.........People that base Gods love for them on their health measure up or down, or by a rich or poor measuring stick, by smooth waters or by rough waters, those people usually are easily tossed this way and that way and some even get so frustrated that they quit the hope all together and head back into the world. Satan took them out of the true love light by tempting them to measure Gods love for them by what they have of this world or have not and by other self circumstances and conditions, taking their eyes off the love of God revealed in Christ and Him crucified. When you set aside the Cross of Christ as your constant measuring stick of Gods love for you and you look to measure the love by other means, your in dangerous territory. We must not be in that territory of thinking in the last days. In those days the whole world undergoes a great shift by the spirit of AntiChrist and the whole world hates the church, despises the church, comes against the church and many are even killed for believing and belonging to Christ....Have your affections set on things above,
..........When Peter, Paul, John and others of the early church were suffering for Christ, being beaten, stoned, mocked, imprisoned, laughed at, spit at, unwelcomed, ridiculed, fed to lions, crucified on crosses, whipped and put to death, they always remembered and faith banked on the love God had for them revealed in the sight of the Cross of the risen Son of God that they had come to love and know and to serve with all their hearts devotion, having their hope set on things above where Jesus is seated at the right hand of God.. They did not allow Satan to deceive them or to make them question Gods love for them by the formed persecutions and rough times they were day to day experiencing as servants of Christ in a world that hated their Savior and Messiah.
.........We must understand this truth and fix our measuring Gods love for us by the Cross of Christ only and by no other measure. Faith and assurance grows from remaining in that love light that the Cross of Christ preaches..Take your eyes and your love measurement off of the Cross of Christ and place it on other circumstances or things going on in this life and in this world and you will end up frustrated beyond measure by Satan.
........Keep your eyes and faith on the Cross of Christ. It is and it fully reveals the great love God has for us every day and that revelation never changes......Amen....deno.....share freely.

Because of Christ Blood We Are Not Destroyed.....deno......share freely.
........All the high priest of the old Covenant entered into the Holiest, into the Holy of Holies by the blood of the sacrifice. He would not dare enter into the Holy place behind the curtain without blood. Such would have destroyed him the bible says.
.........Did you know the Holiest of all himself enters into us only by blood also and only by blood (Christ Blood)?. He enters our hearts, His new temple and holy place only thru the power of His own Sons precious blood.
.........We do not get into heavens holy place accept thru Christ blood, and the Spirit of the Holiest cannot enter into us, into our hearts and lives without the blood of Jesus Christ. It is only by THE POWER OF CHRIST BLOOD THAT ALL ENTRANCES ARE MADE FROM HEAVEN INTO US AND FROM US INTO HEAVEN AND IT IS ONLY BY CHRIST BLOOD THAT WE ARE NOT DESTROYED BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD WHO HAS COME TO INDWELL US.
........Even we who are Spirit of God filled and Holy Spirit indwelt, Christ blood is so powerful and working its power for us that even when we sin, His blood keeps us from falling dead and from being destroyed...Now do not try to tell me that Holy Spirit indwelt people never sin....You need to go read your bible again...THEY DO....I John 1:9 and many other scriptures.....
.........Folks if you understand what the blood did for those high priest in keeping them alive and safe and from being destroyed in the holy of holies tabernacle on earth, then you can understand the power of Christ blood inside us that keeps THE PEACE and keeps us from being destroyed BY THE Holy SInless Spirit of God that lives in us.....CHRIST BLOOD EXCEEDS IN SAVING SAFEKEEPING POWER MORE THAN WE ALL CAN FATHOM.....deno.....share freely.
Cleansed From All Unrighteousness......deno......share freely.
In your sin doctrines, don't forget THE WHITER THAN SNOW PART.....That's where the JOY is found.....It is not found in the boo hoose....It is found in the believing of Gods Promises...It is found in believing and in knowing the love that God has for You and in His faithfulness to cleanse you of all your unrighteousness and sins MAKING YOU WHITER THAN SNOW fully restoring the fellowship....It is in the Whiter Than Snow Part where our fellowship is restored..... See yourself forgiven and cleansed and made Whiter Than Snow and your joy will come back. Believe in the sin cleansing promises of God....deno.

Exodus 12:11-14).....When I see the blood, I will pass over you.
Without the shedding of blood there is no removal of sins.
Though your sins be as scarlet red, they shall be white as snow.
For thru Christ blood we have our salvation, even the forgiveness of sins.
Not only are we forgiven in Christ, but even our sins punishment was taking care of....Jesus covered it all, the pardon, the price, the punishment, the penalty......deno.

The Unique Love Of Christ......deno.....share freely.
.......When Jesus gave us His Blood thru his much pain and sufferings on the Cross, he gave us His Life. He said, No greater love can be expressed than a man lay down his life to SAVE PEOPLE (Not to destroy people, but to SAVE PEOPLE). Jesus sacrificed himself to save people. Today many in the Islamic religion are known to sacrifice themselves to murder and destroy people. Those people the evil one has deceived.
.......But in the GOOD NEWS OF CHRIST SAVING SACRIFICE, guess who Jesus gave up His Life and Blood for? For the sinners and the undeserving. For the lost and for the ungodly.
........Friends, thru Christ blood and thru Gods love there is hope for anybody who comes to Jesus and partakes of the love and mercy of God in Christ. All of us, good or bad must come to God thru Christ Jesus, BELIEVING in the love that God and His Son Jesus Christ have for us as revealed in the Cross of Christ..
Foundation Scripture.
Romans 5:5-10....GOD’S WORD Translation
5 We’re not ashamed to have this confidence, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
6 Look at it this way: At the right time, while we were still helpless (and without strength to save ourselves), Christ died for ungodly people. (For the ungodly people...That is the unique love of Christ).
7 Finding someone who would die for a godly person is rare. Maybe someone would have the courage to die for a good person.
8 Christ died for us while we were still sinners. This demonstrates God’s love for us.
9 Since Christ’s blood has now given us God’s approval (Made us to have peace with God), we are even more certain that Christ will save us from God’s anger (His wrath to come).
10 If the death of his Son restored our relationship with God while we were still his enemies, we are even more certain that, because of this restored relationship, the life of his Son will save us.....Amen.
The QUALIFICATIONS to be a PASTOR or CHURCH ELDER......deno.....share freely.
1 Timothy 3:1-7....Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
The QUALIFICATIONS to be a Pastor or Church Elder.
1) It is a true statement that anyone whose goal is to serve as an elder (Pastor or Overseer of the Flock of God) he has his heart set on a good work....But there are certain specific qualifications.
2 An elder must be such a good man that no one can rightly criticize him. He must be faithful to his wife.
[c] He must have self-control and be wise. He must be respected by others. He must be ready to help people by welcoming them into his home. He must be a good teacher.
3 He must not drink too much, and he must not be someone who likes to fight or argue. He must be gentle and peaceful. He must not be someone who loves money.
4 He must be a good leader of his own family. This means that his children obey him with full respect.
5 If a man does not know how to lead his own family, he will not be able to take care of God’s church.
6 An elder must not be a new believer. It might make him too proud of himself. Then he would be condemned for his pride the same as the devil was.
7 An elder must also have the respect of people who are not part of the church. Then he will not be criticized by others and be caught in the devil’s trap.
Lesson......We may not qualify to be Pastors or Overseers of Gods Church, but that does not mean that all God wants us to do is to sit on the Churches side lines and watch. No, God wants all of us in Christ involved doing something in the riches of His grace given us in Christ.
...........Here are SOME of those things that WE ALL CAN DO...Praying in the closet for the Pastors, the Church, the lost, etc. We can write and share insights and Word of God Lessons. We can help clean and maintenance the church buildings. We can cut the grass. Dust and straighten the pews. Clean the bathrooms. We can still give cups of cold water to people in our Lords love and name. We can still feed the hungry and help cloth the naked. We can visit prisoners and hand out gospel tracks. We can pay someones bill, fill their gas tank up, hand blessings to strangers. We can sing along in the great congregation of the Lord. We can assist the elders and teachers. We can march for Christ. We can evangelize and invite people to Church. We can minister unto the Lord himself in song and praises to His Name (He enjoys that).
..........Yes being a Pastor to God takes high and special disciplines and strong moral character beyond reproach as our text reads. (Many of us do not rightly qualify for such a holy positional calling and responsibility as to be a Pastor but we are still usable to God).
........God really tries the hearts of those who He calls to be our Pastors and Overseers. We should esteem them highly and pray and love and support them for the work they do. To God their work and duty is the most important on this earth. But you and I, we can give our testimonies and do good to all people.
........Love, the works of the love of God is everyone's never ending calling and ministry. Jesus says to all of us concerning the work of the Fathers love, he says...Know ye not that you should everyday be about My Fathers love business?....If you see your brother in need and you turn away from him, how does Gods love really dwell in you?....deno....share freely.

We can pay someones bill, fill their gas tank up, hand blessings to strangers. We can sing along in the great congregation of the Lord. We can assist the elders and teachers. We can march for Christ. We can evangelize and invite people to Church. We can minister unto the Lord himself in song and praises to His Name (He enjoys that).
..........Yes being a Pastor to God takes high and special disciplines and strong moral character beyond reproach as our text reads. (Many of us do not rightly qualify for such a holy positional calling and responsibility as to be a Pastor but we are still usable to God).
........God really tries the hearts of those who He calls to be our Pastors and Overseers. We should esteem them highly and pray and love and support them for the work they do. To God their work and duty is the most important on this earth. But you and I, we can give our testimonies and do good to all people.
........Love, the works of the love of God is everyone's never ending calling and ministry. Jesus says to all of us concerning the work of the Fathers love, he says...Know ye not that you should everyday be about My Fathers love business?....If you see your brother in need and you turn away from him, how does Gods love really dwell in you?....deno....share freely.

OUR UNSELFISH GOD AND SAVIOR......deno.....share freely.
OUR UNSELFISH GOD AND SAVIOR.
.......When the Lord said He would not share His Glory with another, that was not a negative against His People. Some quote that scripture and think God is somewhat pushing us away from Him but He is not. He was directly addressing IDOLATRY and AntiChrist exaltation's, not the beautiful charity of His love to His children who believe and belong to Christ. Let me explain.
.......We find in the word of God that God is sharing all things He has with the saints. In 1st Corinthians 3:22 we find that God in His great unselfish sharing love has giving the children of God all He has, all things that presently are and all things that are to come in the new heaven and earth. He said ALL THINGS OF GOD are now yours, things present and things to come, All are yours and you belong to Jesus and Jesus belongs to God..ALL THINGS ALL THINGS ALL THINGS.
........NOTE:......Since Jesus gave us His life, since Jesus gave us His blood, his very being even unto the pangs of death by way of the cross to save us and to bless us, would He withhold anything that He has made from us???? He HIMSELF is worth far far far more than the things which he has made...And Yet Jesus did not withhold from us Himself, His life, His blood from us. He gave us HIMSELF to THE FULL FREELY and joyfully. It is much easier to give us ALL THE THINGS HE HAS MADE...ALL THINGS ARE YOURS....CHURCH.
........And notice also in John 17:22 how Jesus in his unselfish SHARING love prayed these words for US the children of grace. He said, And Father, THE GLORY that YOU HAVE GIVEN ME, I HAVE GIVEN THEM...THINK ABOUT THAT...THINK ABOUT THOSE LOVE FILLED UNSELFISH WORDS OF THE ONE WHO LOVED US AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR US..He said, And THE GLORY that You have given Me I GIVE TO THEM (The Church)..that they may be One as We Are One.
.......Jesus' own Oneness and beautiful love life, relationship, and walk with the Father He has given us as children of the Father and as His brothers and sisters that He is not ashamed of (Hebrews 2:11-12). He prayed that with the Father and with one another we would be made perfect in Oneness of heart and life, sharing all Gods love and things forever in the beautiful ONENESS FELLOWSHIP that even Jesus and the Father has TOGETHER EVEN SO WOULD WE....THIS IS THE GLORY JESUS HAS GIVEN US.....IT SHALL BE AS JESUS PRAYED BY THAT GLORY IN GODS TIMING....What an UNSELFISH LOVING SAVIOR WE HAVE...Jesus is Wonderful.
.......We also find in the book of Revelations that Jesus shares with us even more of His Glory and Reign. In Revelations 3:21..Jesus says to the Church, the children of God In Christ he says these awing words...To those who overcome I WILL GRANT THEM TO SIT WITH ME IN MY THRONE (WOW WOW WOW---Share in My dominion and far above all Authority Throne) Even as I overcame and Am sitting TOGETHER WITH MY FATHER ON HIS THRONE....WOW WOW WOW. Friends, there is MUCH GLORY JESUS is going to share with us who have overcome in Christ. No we will never be The Eternal God Creator of Heaven and Earth but thanks be to God we are His Children, His Sons and Daughters in Christ and His love for us FAR EXCEEDS all the love of this world for its own.
........Folks God our Father and Jesus our Lord and Big Brother are far more loving and UNSELFISH to us (their redeemed family) than this world or the devil would ever let us know. We have a GREAT INHERITANCE. A GLORIOUS FUTURE.....ALL THINGS OF GOD ARE OURS, PRESENT THINGS AND PAST THINGS AND AND AND....Jesus is offering us to REIGN and to SIT WITH HIM in HIS THRONE for the GLORY that God has given Jesus, Jesus in His UNSELFISH SHARING LOVE has given us. Oh what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us.......deno.....share freely.
