John in his discourse to these people addressed them as little children as they were new converts in Christ. He was trying to set a firm foundation in educating them that the devil's main focus is to not let God's children truly understand their righteous position in Christ Jesus and the permanent new creation they became the day they were born again from above. Get this for ever settled in you mind and heart; I said permanent. If a person does not understand their righteous position; they can not practice something they do not understand.

I at times stand in bewilderment when I hear some of the false junk yard teachings coming out of the mouths of born again children of God in their attempt to follow Christ and help others mature that are opposing them self and making the family of God a bunch of wandering nomads rather then them walking in green pastures as God's children. God helps us to surrender to His kindnesses and truly learn how a perfect Father loves His children.

Jesus is coming back for His church and his appearance is becoming more immanent daily. Scripture tells us He is coming back for a church that is with out spot or wrinkle however; the majority of the body of Christ does not look at them self as spotless because; they have wrinkled ideas of the pure state they have in God their Father's eyes.

John goes on to say; in this the children of God and the children of the devil are clearing recognized and known to us. Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another."

Again let's remind our self that our righteousness is in what Jesus did for us by His obedience of laying down His life for man kind and we do not have to do work to be or stay holy. Scripture tells us that; if we are maturing in Christ; we will know the devil's devices. Again the devil's main device is to get us to not know or doubt our eternal security in Christ Jesus and His finished work at the cross that was the only way we could become righteous.

If a born again believer does not understand the difference between their righteousness in Christ by God's working power verses them being mesmerized into doing self righteous acts that God defines as them living in dirty filthy rags in comparison to being covered in Jesus white robe of righteousness; it will be impossible for them to fight the good fight of faith because; their toiling in life will be focused on their fleshly endeavors and they will be fighting with peoples different personalities causing strife and they will never really know how to rest in God's forgiving spirit.

Paul tells us in Ephesians 6:12; "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

Did you ever think that after you became born again; you would have to be trained for spiritual warfare by the Holy Ghost and become disciplined into becoming a God seeker by meditating on God's word both day and night? How long will a gospel be preached of constantly encouraging God's children week after week in church services only dealing their five senses and never truly understanding what the bible defines as a Christian "Living in the perfect law of liberty" and them coming to know the real freedom of this kind of relationship with God.

There is no liberty in Christ Jesus with out knowing what our righteousness represents and letting go and letting God who is tolerant of different views and standards of behavior in His children and does not criticize or scold them in a harsh manner. This is exactly what James stated in James 1:5 of his writings.

Now James also goes on to define this perfect law of liberty in his continual writing in James 1:22-27 when he says this; "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says; is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it-not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it-they will be blessed in what they do."

Healthy growing people look into the mirror in the morning see their physical appearance and try if they have any type of good self image to look good in their eyes and they carry a type of physical decorum that is acceptable to man kind. Let's remind our self that this is not what the perfect law of liberty means.

I have said this before and it bears being said over and over. Mankind in his own attempt to be righteous concentrates on the out ward appearance of things however; God judges on the condition of our inner man's spiritual heart and how healthy it is. A true healthy born again believer lives his life constantly mirroring at all times in his mind's eye as a way of life corresponding closely with the Holy Ghost and being reproduced accurately with transparency and becoming an exact copy of Christ Him self.

"Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless."

Have you come to understand that; religion which is a man made worship can never keep a tight rein on their tongue because; it has no Godly wisdom backing it up and it is all being motivated on fleshly conceit and every abomination conceived by man through the devil's influences. Man has no chance to keep a rein on what comes out of his mouth especially if; they have not been born again. That is an obvious. The thing that concerns me is; a born again believer has the power to keep a rein on their tongue due to the anointing they have with in them and there are a large majority of born again children of God still blabbering like babies and being a slave to fleshly behavior that should not even be named as existing in God's family.

Our country was founded on Christian and Judeo principles; and through false concepts being preached about God's love has slowly and deceitfully making this a religious country through men and woman who's greed for power rather then being as a servant of the people and I am sorry to say; we have this same spirit at work in many of our born again churches and I believe the ones that know their righteousness in Christ Jesus need to stand up and again proclaim that God's house is a house of prayer and reverence and not a house having leaders selling their own bill of goods that are leading God's kids astray. Thank Father God that he loves His children no matter what ever crevices of life they get led astray in and in their endeavors to walk in obedience they have become a god unto them self.

In my seventy some years walking this planet; I have never seen and heard such foolishness of man in comparison to God's word and principles for living that has become so distorted to the point of insanity. The wisdom of man in his greed for dominance is trying to drive the presence and power and creator of all life; out of the consciecness of mankind and create some kind of self destruct society of one world government that has an anti- christ make up.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." Let me first say; a person who does not truly understand what it is to be righteous and knows the security and has a true sense of the holding power of God in their life; they are being polluted by demonic and worldly ideas and may not even know it.

Our goal in life must be focused on God's ideas of what health represents in His eyes and us not getting caught up in judging our growth in other people's activities that we think are successful. I pray you have heard me here as; this type of judgment is running ramped and getting worse daily.

We see here God‘s goal and His heart to send his best love gift to man kind in Christ Jesus His son; to save the lost and ungodly as we were all born this way and how it is His number one focus to mature His born again children by having a fellow feeling with our growing pains and us coming to mature by becoming aware how delicate and fragile we are with out Christ at the helm of our life. Have you come to recognize your vulnerability with out a living; loving relationship with Christ Jesus? Before on go on; I must define from scripture why John used the terms orphans and widows from the Greek Concordance interpretation as sign of righteous living. Cont. in p.6
