Grace N Truth

QUOTE =From the Candlestick to the Throne Part 173 By J. Preston Eby “What is the chaff to the wheat? ‘Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire’ (Mat. 3:12). ‘Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn’ (Mat. 13:30). “For years I read eternal torment into the foregoing scriptures. I had the wheat as all the saved people taken to heaven, the chaff and tares as all the unsaved people put in hell to be burned with a literal unquenchable fire; until God spoke to my heart saying: ‘You cannot have wheat without chaff, for it takes the chaff to hold the wheat until it is fully matured, and only then can it be threshed, removing the chaff without damaging the seed of life. So this is done...

Echoes From Eden - J Preston Eby QUOTE = let us consider the WILL of man. Within your body you have a biological will which is physical, bodily will. This will is seated in the glands, brain and nerves of the body. This is the will that causes you to breathe and move, to jerk your hand away when you inadvertently touch a hot stove, to shiver when the temperature drops, to sleep at night and awaken in the morning. None of these things are functions of either the will of the soul or the will of the spirit. They are all physical reflexes and functions of the will of the body. Within your soul you have a psychological will which is an ego will. This is the self-conscious and self-seeking will which is ever opposed to God and His will. This is the will Jesus brought to the cross when He said, "Father, if Thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless NOT MY WILL , but Thine, be done" (Luke 22:42). Within this psychological will is the wretchedness of sin and the power of...

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness . Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he was baptized, .... Matthew 3:13-16 In most churches it is taught that Jesus was baptized of John as an example that we should be baptized. If that was true, Jesus would have never said ”for thus it becometh us to fulfill ALL righteousness.” We know Jesus was the Son of God come in human flesh and He was able to walk perfectly without sin, and did so, why then did He publicly submit to John’s baptism unto repentance? If He was undefiled, harmless, holy, separate from sinners, and obedient in all things to His heavenly Father, what did Jesus need to repent of? The answer will shed light in the parable. 

 See a man was under the Mosaic Law and heard from the Father that the ...

“These are in the world.”, “The world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”, “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” “Even as He is, so are we in the world.” (John 17:11,14,16; I John 4:17) QUOTE = Echoes From Eden by J Preston Eby If Jesus was not of the world, why was He in the world? If there was no sympathy between Him and the world, why was it that He lived in it, and did not remain in that high and holy and blessed world to which He belonged? The answer is, The Father had sent Him into the world. In these two expressions, “In the world” and “Not of the world,” we find the whole secret of His work as the God-man, the Son of the Father. He was IN THE WORLD in human nature, because God would show that this nature belonged to HIM, and not to the god of this world, that the human nature was created to receive the divine and incorruptible life of God and in this divine life to reach its highest g...

“Eccentric” what a word. It means "(of a person or their behavior) unconventional and slightly strange." Was Jesus eccentric? And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself . Mark 3:21 He is beside himself , he is different, he is mad, he is to heavenly to be earthly good, He is eccentric. Sounds like much of what is said concerning sons that give up all of this world’s selfish gain to follow Him. See to be eccentric is to be not of one's own self but another. It is to be "peculiar" and in this world of today to be peculiar is to be beside yourself. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people ; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 1 Peter 2:9,10 Jesus said ... "I ...

Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. Act 17:31 Before we dig Deep know that the word "men" is in italics which means it has been added in the KJV Bible. So it can read "...whereof he hath given assurance unto all, in that he hath raised him from the dead. Act 17:31 The reason this verse came forth to me is the word "assurance." Assurance means =Conviction of the truth of anything, belief, faith. Yes! God gives faith unto ALL. For by grace are ye saved through faith ; and that not of yourselves: it (FAITH) is the gift of God : ... Ephesians 2:8 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measur...
