"Temptation, tests or both"

Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) hath promised to them that love him. 

James 1:12

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers Proof (temptations) ; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

James 1:2-4

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Jesus Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy. 

If you be reproached for the name of Jesus Christ, happy are you; for the Spirit of Glory and of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) rest upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) on this behalf. 

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the Gospel of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH)? 

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, 

where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 

Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of YHVH (YEHOVAH) commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

1 Peter 4:12-19

How surviving the temptation?

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: but as he which hath called you is holy, so be you holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, 

Be you holy; for I am holy. 

Leviticus 20:26

(You are to be holy to me 

because I, the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), am holy, 

and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own)

And if you call on the Father YHVH (YEHOVAH), who without respect of persons judge according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:  knowing that you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ Jesus, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by him do believe in Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH). 

Seeing you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), which lives and abides forever. 

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower thereof fall away: but the word of the Lord endure forever. And this is the word which by the Gospel is Preached unto you.

1 Peter 1:13-25

"Temptation"

Peter said unto Jesus of Nazareth, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

Then come Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and said unto the disciples, Sit you here, while I go and pray yonder.  

And Jesus of Nazareth took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 

Then said Jesus of Nazareth unto them, 

"My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: 

stay here, and watch with me. 

And Jesus of Nazareth went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, 

O my Father, 

if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: 

nevertheless not as I will, but as your want.

And Jesus of Nazareth come unto the disciples, and find them asleep, and said unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 

Watch and pray, 

that ye enter not into temptation: 

"the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak".

Jesus of Nazareth went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, 

O my Father, 

if this cup may not pass away from me, 

except I drink it, your will be done. 

And Jesus of Nazareth came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

Then come Jesus of Nazareth to his disciples, and said unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

Matthew 26:35-46

"Living in the spirit"

 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH): for it is not subject to the law of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH). But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) dwell in you. 

Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ Jesus, he is none of his. But if Christ Jesus be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dweller in you.

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if you live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, 

they are the sons of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH)". 

For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself bearer witness with our spirit, that we are the children of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH): and if children, then heirs; heirs of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), and joint-heirs with Christ Jesus; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature Wait for the manifestation of the sons of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH). 

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH). 

For we know that the whole creation groan and travail in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man sees, why doth he yet hope for? 

But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH). 

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestined, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

What shall we then say to these things? 

If Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH).  be for us, who can be against us? 

Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH).  that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of YHVH’s elect? 

It is Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH).  that justified. 

Who is he that condemneth? 

It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), who also makes intercession for us. 

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ Jesus? 

Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 

As it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 

For I am persuaded (sure), that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of  Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8

"Life and Death"

 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ Jesus; not with eye service, as men please; but as the servants of Christ Jesus, doing the will of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) from the heart; with good will doing service, as to the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), and not to men: knowing that whatsoever good thing any man does, the same shall he receive of the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), whether he be bond or free. And, you masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 

Put on the whole armour of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of  Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH): 

 "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints".

Ephesians 6:5-18

"Ears to hear and eyes to see"

Paul said, 

Well spake the Holy Spirit by Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers, saying, Go unto this people, and say, 

"Hearing you shall hear, 

and shall not understand; 

and seeing you shall not see, 

and not perceive"

Isaiah 6:8-10

For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and don't hear with their ears, and don't understand with their heart, and don't  should be converted, and I should don't heal them. 

Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

Acts 28:25-28

I need to be a child again?

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receive me. 

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence come!

Matthew 18:5-7

"Prayer and Fasting"

And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatic, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falls into the fire, and oft into the water. And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.  

Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. 

And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. 

Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 

And Jesus said unto them, "Because of your unbelief"

For verily I say unto you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 

"How be it this kind go not out,

only by prayer and fasting".

Matthew 17:14-21

"True Love"

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteer me nothing.

The love is suffered and is kind; love does not envy; love vaunt not itself, is not proud, does not rude, it self-seeking not her own, is not easily angered, it is thinking no evil; It rejoice not in evil (iniquity), but it rejoice in the truth; suffers all things, believe all things, expect all things, endure all things.

The love is never fails! 

But whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 

And now abide FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; 

but the greatest of these is the LOVE.

1 Corinthians 13
