CAREST THOU NOT THAT WE PERISH? Jesus said to His disciples; LET US GO ON TO THE OTHER SIDE (UNDERSTAND/BELIEVE) FAITH IN GOD IS THE
NON-NEGOTIABLE COMMAND OF GOD FOR ALL CHRISTIANS FOR ALL TIME PRAYERS OF FAITH Lord Jesus, from now on, I can and do choose to be
faithful in adversity, rather than offended in adversity. I thank you that it
is you that has set the eternal boundaries, you have set the eternal finished,
complete, and inerrant standards and commands for me to follow and not me or
anyone else. I thank you and love you Lord Jesus, I know without a doubt that I
have the power through you to absolutely choose to obey your sovereign will
above all. I choose your eternal inerrant truth that the only right way is your
way, and your way is the only right way. Praise you Jesus, that I now know I
don’t have to allow my troubles to rob me of the peace I have in you alone,
despite my troubles. Brothers and sisters some of our difficulties that can
cause us to fear will arise when we suffer the kinds of persecutions that come
through people. It is vital holy people, that in the face of adversity to be
greatly emboldened to raise up the sword of the spirit the word of God and declare: Heb 13:5 - Let
your conversation be without covetousness; and be content
with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I
will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 - So that we may boldly say, The
Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Lord Jesus, I refuse to fear the actions of any person(s)
against me, because you are with me and will help me in any trouble. I choose
instead and at all times to fear you alone Lord in love, worship, holy
reverence, and obedience.
I know Lord, that you do not send but allow all
of your people to have trials for your purposes. Lord, I know you always bless
me and never curse me I thank you for the blessings of my trials, to show I
belong to you, to move me out of my comfort zone(s), to reveal my mind and
heart, my weaknesses both hidden and known, to shake off of me every thing that
will cause me to be shaken, so that I will be strengthened, built up so that only those holy things for and within me from
you shall remain. Then I also, Lord, will be able to strengthen and comfort my
brothers and sisters going through trials and tribulations too. To be continued. love serola

CAREST THOU NOT THAT WE PERISH? Jesus said to His disciples; LET US GO ON TO THE OTHER SIDE (UNDERSTAND/ACCEPT/BELIEVE) FAITH IN GOD IS THE
NON-NEGOTIABLE COMMAND OF GOD FOR ALL CHRISTIANS FOR ALL TIME Brothers and sisters, there are those amongst us who have rightfully
wrung their hearts out in repentance before the Lord our Saviour Jesus Christ
and have fully turned to Him in complete faith. These now rest along with the innumerable
saints (G40 hagios), who from the beginning have done and continue to remain in faith to God and will do so until Christ returns. Prayers of faith: Lord Jesus I (UNDERSTAND/ACCEPT/BELIEVE) THAT FAITH IN GOD IS
THE NON-NEGOTIABLE COMMAND OF GOD FOR ME, AND ALL CHRISTIANS FOR ALL TIME. Praise and thank God, holy people, that He has empowered
every Christian to know and choose to do His sovereign will above all. The Saviour said to you, me and every Christian: Jhn
14:27 - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not
as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your
heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Peace: peace, quietness, rest, + set at one again.
1. Troubled:
to agitate,
trouble (a thing, by the movement of its parts to and fro) 1. to cause one inward commotion, take away his calmness of
mind, disturb his equanimity. 2. to disquiet, make restless. 3. to stir up. 4. to trouble. 1. to strike one's spirit with fear and dread. 5. to render anxious or distressed. 6. to perplex the mind of one by suggesting scruples or
doubts. 1. Afraid:
to be timid,
fearful
Lord, I absolutely reject all doubt, and thank
you that I have the power to choose faith in the face of trouble and fear every
time, to please you and show I love you. I know and absolutely except the final inerrant truth that doubt is never acceptable
to you, and therefore you absolutely forbid anyone who calls on your name to doubt you in any way or manner or form. to be continued. love serola

CAREST THOU NOT THAT WE PERISH? JESUS said to His disciples: LET US GO ON TO THE OTHER SIDE Dear saints (G40 hagios), thanks for hanging in and
fellowshipping with me in this study. Brothers and sisters, I will post some prayers of
repentance regarding doubt, but this is not formulaic, let your heart speak as
you seek to show love trust and faith to God for His everlasting truth. Examine your own reasons for doubting God with the
understanding, dearly beloveds, that you
must absolutely reject them all for none of the reasons are acceptable to God,
nor gives you or anyone else an excuse to doubt God. You, me, anyone who doubts
God has to reject the doubt and come believing with all the other multitudes of
saints (G40 hagios). See Heb 11 for the role call of faith. Even in these
modern times God shows to us a great
multitude of faithful brothers and sisters who persevere in afflictions for and
to the glory of God. This prayer of repentance from all doubt is about any
believer who doubts to change their doubting minds, and come into agreement
with the final, finished and complete inerrant truth of God out of love for Him.
It is about completely and absolutely trusting in God; in order to finally go
from being offended in adversity to
being faithful despite adversity. Lord Jesus, I come to you with my heart grieved, heavy
and filled with humiliation, and distress that when things do not go well for
me, I always doubt your goodness and faithfulness, and never look at the fact
that it is never you but I who am doubtful and lacking faith and trust in you.
Lord Jesus, I repent of doubt, unbelief, double
mindedness, being of two spirits; teeter- tottering wavering between doubt and
unbelief-questioning your absolute goodness. Lord I repent of failing to trust you
in the storms of my life, and only trusting you when things are going well for
me. I repent of believing that I ever had the right, privilege or approval from
you to doubt you in any way or manner whatsoever. Lord I repent that in my
doubt I slandered, mistrusted, and falsely accused you of not caring about me
and not being good. Father, I repent of not counting the persecutions, trials,
tribulations, and storms in my life as all joy. I repent of refusing to accept
that: 2Ti 3:12
- Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Instead,
Lord, I twisted it to mean that somehow you were punishing me, when the truth is that you were actually verifying
through it that I actually belonged to you. Lord I repent because I falsely
accused you for I am the one who is lacking faith, I am the one cringing in the
storms of life, I am the one refusing to see that there is something to be
gained from you in the storm and through the storm. Lord Jesus, I repent of
being unstable in all my ways regarding you. I repent of causing you
displeasure Lord, for you told me and everyone that: Heb 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that
cometh to God must
believe that he is, and that
he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Lord, I thank you that you have heard my
prayers of repentance. Lord Jesus, I thank you for your faithfulness, and that
you have never forsaken me, nor cast me out, nor ever ceased to love me. To be
continued. Acts 14: 21And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, 22Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. love serola

CAREST
THOU NOT THAT WE PERISH? Jesus
said to His disciples: LET US GO ON TO THE OTHER SIDE Some persons, dearly beloveds, will always falsely claim
that questioning and doubting God is good and acceptable to Him. Some will
twist scripture to cite Job, David, the Psalms to justify their doubt. These were godly men and the Psalms true. However, God is now speaking solely through Jesus Christ as the final authority appointed by God today for every Christian and even the whole world, everything written in scripture must be fully understood and filtered through the authority of Jesus Christ now, and for all time.
The
Supremacy of the Son (Colossians 1:15-23) Heb
1:1God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time
past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,
whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express
image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he
had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on
high; 4Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by
inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Of
course, there are others who in error proclaim that the so called “sacred” free
will God gave to all humanity gives people, whether saved or not, the right to
doubt and question God. They falsely claim the will of man trumps the eternal
absolutely holy and good will of God. If this abject lie were true it would
have been needless for Jesus Christ to come to earth to die for the sins of
mankind in the first place, if man does not need God at all to be holy and
good. There are many more great
evils in this on many levels, first of all it denies the Authority of Jesus Christ,
the Saviour, as the final, complete eternal Authority, and head of the church
who has set the final standard of acceptance of all though faith in Him,
without doubting. Secondly it falsely exalts the will of man above the will of God,
thirdly it undercuts and negates the new nature of all believers who operate in
obedience to God in accordance with His will, not out of force but out of His
love, truth, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the foundation of the new
nature through faith in Jesus Christ Brothers
and sisters, again, this study absolutely and completely excludes any and all
persons who willingly, persistently, unrepentantly persevere in unbelief, this
is God’s eternal message for all such persons: Rev 21:8 - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars,
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which
is the second death. Those who receive this warning from God are commanded to
repent before it is too late. JESUS
SAID DOUBTING HIM IS ABSOLUTELY NOT OKAY- EVER Christians
under the gospel of Jesus Christ have been given the final, complete, absolute,
explicit, exclusive, and inerrant new covenant that has set the final and
complete standard and boundaries for righteousness for the Christian, and the
whole world. NO,
NO, NO! God does not ever say it is okay
for any new covenant believers to question Him. Jesus makes this plain when His
disciples questioned Him in the midst of the storm. To their question “carest
thou not that we perish” Jesus answered them with this question “Where is your
faith”. Here
this, doubter(s): If Jesus Christ dying on the cross to pay for our sins and risen
again is not absolute cause for you or anyone claiming salvation to trust in
Him, nothing else ever will. It
is absolutely clear that the one claiming faith in Jesus Christ who questions Him
in the storms and trials of life lack faith in God. Therefore, the only correct
question for those who doubt is “WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?”.
If any doubt let them always question their
faith, never God. The starting place of going from doubt to the other side to
eternal faith in Jesus Christ is repentance. love serola

CAREST
THOU NOT THAT WE PERISH? Jesus
said to His disciples: LET US GO ON TO THE OTHER SIDE Brothers
and sisters, there are multitudes of Christians who don’t doubt God in any way
and have and will gladly give up there lives for Him. Doubt is not the stance
nor the standard set by God for any Christian. Let
us emphasize that doubt is never
acceptable to God for any Christian. Throughout
the Bible God makes it clear, He never honors the prayers of anyone asking Him
for things in doubt. Here is what the Bible has to say about anyone who doubts
Him. These verses applies to anyone who doubts Him. This is not to hurt our
feelings, but to make sure we know absolutely that God is not pleased in any
way when we doubt Him: Jas 1:5 - If
any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men
liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. Jas 1:6 - But
let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he
that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 1. Faith
means - to lean on God, rely on, to fully entrust oneself for one’s spiritual
well- being on God: Belief;
in the NT of a conviction or belief respecting man's relationship to God and
divine things, generally with the included idea of trust and holy fervor born
of faith and joined with it. 1. relating to God. The conviction that God exists and is
the creator and ruler of all things, the provider and bestower of eternal
salvation through Christ 2. relating to Christ 1. a strong and welcome conviction or belief that Jesus is
the Messiah, through whom we obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom of God. 3. The religious beliefs of Christians. 4. Belief with the predominate idea of trust (or confidence)
whether in God or in Christ, springing from faith in the same. 2. Fidelity, faithfulness. 1. the character of one who can be relied on. Jas 1:7 - For
let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. Jas 1:8 - A
double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Unstable: δίψυχος dípsychos, dip'-soo-khos; from G1364 and G5590; two-spirited, i.e. vacillating (in opinion or
purpose):—double minded.
KJV Translation Count
— Total: 2x 1. double minded-wavering, not steadfast, uncertain,
doubting. 2. divided in interest. This is how God sees you, me or any Christian who doubts
Him. Regardless of our so- called reasons, God
accepts no excuses for any of it.

CAREST
THOU NOT THAT WE PERISH? Jesus
said to His disciples: LET US GO ON TO THE OTHER SIDE Without
questions, brothers and sisters, although the apostles did doubt Jesus Christ
at the beginning, nevertheless after they received the Holy Spirit they all
went on in great faith and without doubt to complete the work that Jesus Christ
had set them out to do in upholding and spreading the gospel message everywhere
God sent them. Jesus
said to His disciples: LET US GO ON TO THE OTHER SIDE Through
the power of God, every Christian can go from doubt to the other side which is
faith. Faith and doubt are completely incompatible, for one drives out the
other. Perhaps, there are some amongst us who have wept, that they find
themselves doubtful about Jesus Christ at times. God is able to aid every
Christian that doubts, and bring them to stable faith in Him. However, there
are some teaching that somehow God accepts our doubts about Him. I
saw a gadget of an artificial, but life like fish. When a button was pressed
the fish sang a saucy song and moved around just like it was really alive, it
was so funny and cute. Unfortunately,
some have made up an artificial life like Jesus Christ, He is warm and fuzzy,
touchy feely, wishy washy, absolutely almost and certainly maybe all the time.
Press His button and He will agree with almost any personal opinion that people
may have, regardless of whether or not it agrees with scripture. Some find this
artificial, life like image of Jesus Christ, comforting and even fun. It will
never challenge, never disagree, and anything goes. It is fully capable of
falsely agreeing that doubt is good, after all we all doubt sometimes. However,
there is a real eternal Jesus Christ, who never lies, always tells the truth,
and is forever faithful. It is to the eternal and only true Saviour Jesus
Christ that we seek to find the eternal absolute standard regarding doubt and
faith. Nobody pushes Jesus’s buttons, nobody controls Jesus, it is He who is
always in control. He will not compromise His gospel with anyone or anything. That
being said, holy people, this study absolutely and completely excludes any and
all persons who willingly, persistently, unrepentantly persevere in unbelief,
this is God’s eternal message for all such persons: Rev
21:8 - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars,
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which
is the second death. Fearful: Unfaithful, faithless, (not to be trusted, perfidious) 1. incredible 1. of things 2. unbelieving, incredulous 1. without trust (in God). love serola

CAREST
THOU NOT THAT WE PERISH? Mar 4:35 And
the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto
the other side. 36And when they had sent away the
multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with
him other little ships. 37And there arose a great storm of
wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a
pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we
perish? 39And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea,
Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that
ye have no faith? Mat 8:25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke
him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. Mat 8:26 - And
he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose,
and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. Luk 8:24 - And
they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he
arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and
there was a calm. Luk 8:25 And he said unto them, Where is your
faith? Perish:
to perish, to be lost, ruined, destroyed. Of little faith: trusting too little †ὀλιγόπιστος
oligópistos, ol-ig-op'-is-tos; from G3641 and G4102; incredulous, i.e. lacking confidence (in
Christ):—of little faith. Here the disciples were, their boat full of water,
literally swamped. They were in danger of drowning in the sea. It did not
matter if one was a good swimmer, so far from land and waters so turbulent,
death would be likely. They question Jesus, a question born out of fear for
their lives and uncertainty if their lives or themselves meant anything at all
to Him. And Jesus after calming the waters, does not embrace them
tenderly, He does not comfort them with words such as don’t worry, I wasn’t
going to let you die. Instead Jesus answered them with questions-where’s your faith? Why
were you so fearful? Saints (G40 hagios), Jesus could have told them before hand that a storm was
coming, and how it would impact the ship, and to wake Him if He were asleep,
and He would settle it, but He did not.

SIN AND THE SECULAR
WORLD (The earth
divided-understanding the times) TURN SUCH AN ONE OVER
TO SATAN PAUL WARNS THE CHURCH
AGAINST FALSE TEACHERS PERVERSION OF THE
GOSPEL THE TRUE NATURE AND CHARACTER OF EVIL Rev 22:15 - For without are dogs, and
sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth
and maketh a lie. Brothers
and sisters, the message of Jesus Christ to the church for all time is that
through Him, absolutely every believer is totally dependent,
responsible/accountable to Him and interdependent accountable/responsible to one
another; and have received, through Him, the power of self- correction,
self-discipline and self-control. The
church has the absolute right to exercise discipline and hold accountable any
sinning members who refuse to be accountable/responsible to God and the church in
exercising his or her own God given powers of self- control, self-discipline
and self-correction. It
must be said over and over again; dearly beloveds, the church that does not
discipline sinning members, as commanded by God, puts a stamp of approval on
sin, and is an accomplice, enabler, encourager and partaker of the same sins in
the eyes of the Lord. Worst yet, it brings great harm to the gospel, and tempts
others to practice sin. The
Bible is clear, that the church is never to allow those unrepentant actively
practicing sin to remain in fellowship of the church as a whole. The
church as a whole is forbidden by God to allow itself to become a sin sanctuary
to justify those unrepentant, and actively practicing sin or to make excuses
for them at the expense and damaging of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus saves all who
believe in Him, and leaves them in their old natural bodies on earth, until His return to show one another
and the world that through Him Christians have power over sin and are no longer
under the power of their old Adamic sin natures. This is the eternal standard of truth set
by God as evidence of having received salvation through Jesus Christ. Our growth
takes time and gets better progressively as we are taught, study, and practice
self- correction, joyfully repenting of doing those things we know displease God
out of love for Him.
Jesus said: Jhn 14:15 - If ye love me, keep my commandments. However, holy people, those
who degenerate and remain unrepentant to Christ are rejected and not ever
accepted by God, for they do not conform to the eternal standard of truth that He has set for
righteousness. Unrepentance and degeneration from Jesus Christ is never the
earmark of authentic conversion. This
study of the church’s action to turn such an one over to Satan, shows that it
was not done generally, but in rare circumstances, and only by the church as a
whole. The expected outcome of the church’s discipline/punishment and excommunication
from the church is always to be restorative to cause such persons to repent after
which the church is to receive them back in complete forgiveness. The
Bible makes it absolutely clear that those who reject the authority of God to
the church to discipline its members without exception, are not ever to be
considered Christians and are permanently barred from ever being allowed back
into the church as a whole-do not give that which is holy unto the dogs.
Saints, (G40 hagios) there
are many take away lessons for us from this study in the scriptures than I can
post here, feel free to study further on your own. love serola

SIN
AND THE SECULAR WORLD (The
earth divided-understanding the times) TURN
SUCH AN ONE OVER TO SATAN PAUL
WARNS THE CHURCH AGAINST FALSE TEACHERS PERVERSION
OF THE GOSPEL THE TRUE NATURE AND CHARACTER OF EVIL Mat 7:6 - Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye
your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn
again and rend you.
Brothers
and sisters, some might say we should not write things such as the above verse
in Mt. 7:6, because it is so harsh and extreme and does not show God’s love for
the lost. God is not talking about people who are lost in the sense that they have yet to hear and believe the gospel message. God is talking about evil unrepentant people who have heard the gospel message reject its truth then go on to spread a false gospel.
Some might even think it is better to speak to them only sweetly, kindly,
so that their hearts will be touched and they will be nice and stop saying bad
things and untruths about the gospel. It
could be that such persons who feel this way in contradiction to the word of God,
are themselves seeking to squirm away from any accountability/responsibility to God and the church for dealing with
their own disobedience/and or ignorance, and they are commanded by God to
repent. However,
Jesus the Lord said it, wrote it in the Bible and it was repeated by some of
the apostles too. Therefore,
dearly beloveds, God is not giving the church a mere suggestion for the church to ignore. The
church as a whole must absolutely obey and uphold the eternal love and truth of
the gospel of Jesus Christ, against false teachers, false brethren (this includes
women too) whomsoever they might be. God commands that His church as a whole shall not
give that which is holy to dogs. Holy:
Sacred (physically, pure, morally
blameless or religious, ceremonially, consecrated):—(most) holy (one, thing),
saint.
God the creator of all things and all people knows the
nature of all people whether it be good or evil. Those whom God has tried
through the church and found to be dogs, have no intention of repenting and will become worse and worse. 2Ti 3:13 - But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. Those who foolishly persist in wasting time beyond which
it is wise, will find that dogs have a violent nature and are fully capable of
doing them harm. Dogs:
Phl 3:2 - Beware of
dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
2Pe 2:22 - But
it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is
turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in
the mire. I did not call such persons dogs; God did and I absolutely believe God who cannot lie, do you believe God? love serola
