THE HIDDEN Grace and Peace “ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” John 1:1-5 Also, for those who have no desire for GOD'S HIDDEN PIETY-HIDDEN RIGHTEOUSNESS-HIDDEN WISDOM-HIDDEN SANCTIFICATION and HIDDEN REDEMPTION OF PURE LIGHT, this HIDDEN way of grace and peace, is not very important to them, because they love their works of darkness, more then God's light, as it is written,“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that
believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name
of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is
come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the
light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made
manifest, that they are wrought in God.” But for all who want to know GOD'S HIDDEN PIETY-RIGHTEOUSNESS-WISDOM-SANCTIFICATION and REDEMPTION OF PURE LIGHT, this WAY of Grace and peace MUST BE OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE! As we shall see in this treatise that bids all, to COME FIND "THE HIDDEN GRACE AND PEACE". Let us look now to see how the apostles of The Messiah confirm the importance of this HIDDEN GRACE AND PEACE. For the very fact that the Holy apostles start most of their heavenly Holy epistles by announcing this WAY OF GRACE AND PEACE, should show us all the importance of knowing THIS WAY OF GRACE AND PEACE. For example, “To all that be in Rome,
beloved of God, called to be
saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and
the Lord Jesus Christ.” And again, “Unto the church of God which is at Corinth,
to them that are sanctified
in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon
the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
Grace be unto you, and peace,
from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.” And again, “Grace be to you
and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.” And again, “Grace be to you
and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,” And again, “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the
saints which are at Ephesus, and
to the faithful in CHRIST: Grace be to you, and peace,
from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in
CHRIST:” And again, “Grace be unto
you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus
Christ.” And again, “To the saints and
faithful brethren in CHRIST
which are at Colosse: Grace
be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ.” And again, “Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the
Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the
Lord Jesus Christ.” And again, “Grace unto you,
and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" And again, “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God
our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; Unto Timothy, my own
son in the faith: Grace, mercy,
and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.” And again, “To Timothy, my dearly beloved son:
Grace, mercy, and peace,
from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.” And again, “To Titus, mine own son after the common faith:
Grace,
mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.” And again, “Grace to you,
and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ And again, “Elect
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
through sanctification of the
Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus CHRIST:
Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.” And again, Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ,
to them that have obtained like
precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour
Jesus CHRIST: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the
knowledge of God, and of Jesus our LORD.” And again, “Grace be with
you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord
Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.” And again, “Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James,
to them that are sanctified by
God the Father, and preserved in Jesus CHRIST, and called:
Mercy unto you, and peace, and
love, be multiplied.” From these examples we can easily see the prime importance of knowing the way of GRACE AND PEACE. But let us notice also that only those who are beloved of God, called to be saints (Rom. 1:7), know this way of GRACE AND PEACE.Let us notice that only those who
Let us notice that only those who are faithful brethren in CHRIST (see Col.1:2), know this way of GRACE AND PEACE. Let us notice that only those who are the Elect, only those who have been sanctified through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus CHRIST (see 1Pet. 1:2), know this way of GRACE AND PEACE. Let us notice that this
HIDDEN GRACE AND PEACE,
only comes through
the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus CHRIST Many there are who are first in line to proclaim to the world that they are beloved of God, called to be saints ,that they are sanctified, that they are the faithful in The Messiah .Many there are who are quick to say to their followers, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ , who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in CHRIST .Many there are who say that they are faithful brethren in Christ. Many there are who say that they are the Elect etc.But if they DO NOT KNOW this way of THE HIDDEN GRACE AND PEACE, then we must ask, how can this be? For it is clear that those who had obtained ALL of the above things, were only those WHO KNEW THIS WAY OF GRACE AND PEACE.And so, we bring forth this HOLY WAY, this HOLY HIDDEN DOCTRINE OF GRACE AND PEACE, in hope that all those in error in regards to the true calling of the beloved, the true sanctification, the true faithfulness in The Messiah, the true heavenly blessings, the true elect calling, the true righteousness of God etc, will by finding this hidden GRACE and PEACE, find in truth, all of these things. And repent of their great error, and come to this HIDDEN WAY OF GRACE AND PEACE.So that we all together like the apostles and the brethren that they wrote to, and the Holy men of old who were before them, like Abraham, Enoch, Moses, the prophets, etc, may be able to confess our obedience to GOD'S only begotten HIDDEN Word of Grace and Peace, which is THE ONLY BEGOTTEN HIDDEN WORD OF HIS HIDDEN PIETY- HIDDEN RIGHTEOUSNESS- HIDDEN WISDOM- HIDDEN SANCTIFICATION and HIDDEN REDEMPTION OF PURE LIGHT.Now to this someone might say: but Moses said that wisdom came by obedience to the law as it is written, “But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive
every one of you this day. Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments,
even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land
whither ye go to possess it. Keep therefore and do them; for this is your
wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall
hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and
understanding people.” and we all know that Grace and the law are against each other, and are not the same thing.To this statement, all who know THE HIDDEN WAY OF GRACE AND PEACE will be able to say, NOT SO! For they who know THE HIDDEN WAY OF GRACE AND PEACE, are able to PROVE BY SCRIPTURE, that THE LAW THAT MOSES SPOKE ABOUT, AND THE GRACE THAT WE SPEAK ABOUT IN THIS TREATISE, ARE ONE AND THE SAME THING. For as we know, God is a Spirit, (John 4:24). AND GRACE IS FROM GOD THE SPIRIT, (Rom.1:7). AND THE LAW IS FROM GOD THE SPIRIT, (Rom.7:14, 8:2). And as said, they are one and the same as it is written, “My son, hear
the
instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
For they shall be an ornament of
grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.” Here we see that the law that Solomon talks about in The Book of Proverbs, IS GRACE. Now that this law of wisdom that Solomon talks about in The Book of Proverbs, is the same law of wisdom that Moses was talking about in Deut. 4:5-6, this we know because the book of Proverbs was (for the most part) written by King Solomon, the son of King David. And as for this Solomon, son of King David, it is written that King David commanded him saying, “ (1) Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, (2) I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man; (3) And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself: (4) That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.”1 Kings 2:1-4 Here we see that the commandments written in the law of Moses (verses 2&3), are the truth, i.e., SPIRITUAL, (verse 4). Here we see that King Solomon was commanded to bring forth THE SAME LAW THAT MOSES BROUGHT FORTH. THE SAME WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING THAT MOSES BROUGHT FORTH (Deut.4:5-6). And as for this WISDOM, this LAW OF WISDOM, this LAW OF WISDOM AND TRUTH, not only Solomon but ALL OF THE PROPHETS OF GOD, brought it forth, as it is written, “Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets. Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God. And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them. And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.”2 Kings 17:13-16 Here we see that the SPIRITUAL LAW OF WISDOM ABOVE, was not only brought forth by Solomon, BUT BY ALL THE PROPHETS OF GOD. HERE WE SEE THAT THOSE WHO SERVE BAAL, ARE THOSE WHO REJECT AND WILL NOT HEAR THIS SPIRITUAL LAW (Way) OF WISDOM ABOVE, that was first given to the early believers and spoken of by the prophets after them.True, this SPIRITUAL LAW OF WISDOM ABOVE was brought forth in symbols, in a mystery, in parables etc. Yet none the less, they brought it forth for all who had ears to hear it. And by bringing it forth, they declared to the people, the immeasurable benefits of hearing THIS WAY (doctrine of wisdom above, of learning THIS WAY, and of walking in THIS WAY. And they also declared unto the people, the overwhelming destruction of not hearing this Way, nor learning THIS WAY, nor walking in THIS WAY. But the true servants of The Messiah, always declare THIS WAY of THE HIDDEN GRACE AND PEACE, so that its benefits might be given to all those who WILL HEAR IT, BELIEVE IT, AND WALK IN IT. In Proverbs 1:8-9 speaking of the instruction of The Father and the law of The Mother, it is written, “ My son, hear the
instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
For they shall be an ornament of
grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.” Here we see THAT THIS GRACE, THIS WAY OF GRACE, IS THE INSTRUCTION OF THE FATHER AND THE LAW OF THE MOTHER (wisdom above). But now we must ask you who for the first time are hearing about this kind of Grace, do you want THIS GRACE? Do you want THIS WAY OF GRACE? Have we not seen from the epistles of the apostles above, that THIS WAY OF GRACE, IS INSTRUCTION AND LAW, THAT IT IS FOR THE BELOVED SAINTS, FOR THOSE WHO ARE SANCTIFIED, FOR THE FAITHFUL IN THE MESSIAH, FOR THE ELECT etc? If you reject and will not hear of THIS WAY OF THE HIDDEN GRACE AND PEACE, are you not rejecting the beloved saints and their sanctification and their faith in Christ? As for the instruction of The Father, it is the commandment, the very commandment that The Father of mankind, gave unto mankind in the beginning, i.e., in (through) His Word. For it is written, “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree
of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die.” As for the law, commandments of The Mother, we first must see that The Mother of mankind is WISDOM ABOVE, and that she is to have children, as it is written,“The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say,
Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and
sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.” Then we must see that THIS WISDOM, THIS MOTHER, brings forth the hidden law, THE HIDDEN WORD, the hidden commandments, the hidden doctrine etc, as it is written,“Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:”1Cor. 2:6-7 And again, “Doth not wisdom
cry? and understanding
put forth her voice?
She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the
paths. She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in
at the doors. Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. O
ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding
heart. Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my
lips shall be right things. For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness
is an abomination to my lips. All
the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing
froward or perverse in them.” This is the law, the commandment that was there in the beginning, before this earth was made (see Proverbs 8:20-36). This is The Mother Jerusalem above as it is written, “But Jerusalem
which is above is free, which is
the mother of us all.” She IS THE CITY OF PEACE, because in her is THE LAW OF PEACE, THE SPIRITUAL LAW OF LIFE AND PEACE, as it is written, “For we know that
the law is spirituaL: but I am carnal, sold under sin.” And again, “For the law of
the Spirit of life in The Messiah Jesus hath made me free from
the law of sin and death.” And again, “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” Rom.8:6-7 Or, as the early English (A.D. 1560) Geneva Bible, and other early English Bibles would have it: “For the wisdom of the flesh is death: but the wisdom of the Spirit is life and peace. Because the wisdom of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can be.” Rom. 8:6-7 Geneva Bible In our evil carnal earthly wisdom (see James 3:15), which we all were born with into this carnal earthly realm because of the fall of Adam and Eve, we could not be subject to the PURE, HEAVENLY, SPIRITUAL, life giving laws, of our heavenly mother wisdom above (see James 3:17). For the earthly wisdom of the flesh, "STEALS" the heavenly Words of the Spiritual law of the PURE FOUNTAIN of wisdom above, and wraps these stolen waters (i.e., the Words of the Holy Spirit of wisdom above), with its own carnal flesh doctrines, and brings forth these Words as her own.That is why it is written what carnal wisdom proclaims, and where she leads: “Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.” Prov.9:17-18 That is why carnal wisdom below, causes all who are under her power, TO STUMBLE AT THE LAW OF WISDOM ABOVE. And for that reason, the Lord of wisdom above, and all those who are in His Church of wisdom above, condemn the works of the bondwomen wisdom below, and her children (Mal.2:8, Isa. 8:13-15, Rom.9:32, Proverbs 4:19, Gal.4:30). Indeed,there is no mind of peace (spiritual life-giving mind of The Messiah) for anyone, without this wisdom from above, without this Mother from above, without this law from above. We must Know then, that this Grace is wisdom above, and this wisdom above is an eternal Mother, of eternal love, eternal fear (reverence), eternal knowledge, eternal Holy hope as it is written, “I am the mother
of fair love, and fear, and knowledge, and holy hope: I therefore,
being eternal, am given to all my children which are named of
him. Come unto me, all ye that be desirous of me, and fill yourselves with
my fruits. For my memorial is sweeter than honey, and mine inheritance than
the honeycomb. They that eat me shall yet be hungry, and they that drink me
shall yet be thirsty. He that obeyeth me shall never be confounded, and they
that work by me shall not do amiss.
All these things are the book of the covenant of the most high God, even
the law which Moses commanded for an heritage unto the congregations of
Jacob.” Seeing all these things then, the only thing left for you to do, is COME! Repent of your carnal mind thoughts about God and His heavenly law of wisdom above. Come and find where this wisdom dwells, so that you may enter her dwelling place and partake of her ETERNAL FRUITS OF PIOUS LOVE, PIOUS REVERENCE, PIOUS KNOWLEDGE, PIOUS HOLY HOPE etc. If you are to partake of THE HIDDEN GRACE AND PEACE, THIS WISDOM ABOVE, then you must understand, and come to believe with all your heart, that this wisdom CANNOT BE FOUND ANYWHERE, BUT IN THE VERY FLESH AND BONE OF THE MESSIAH, IN WHICH IT NOW DWELLS FOREVER (John 1:14). And you must come to understand that you CANNOT ENTER THE FLESH AND BONE (BODY) OF THE MESSIAH, WITHOUT ENTERING HIS BAPTISM. We wish to hear from you, so that we may talk to you about this HOLY BAPTISMAL FOUNTAIN THAT IS FOUND ONLY IN THE FLESH OF THE MESSIAH, FOR THIS BAPTISMAL FOUNTAIN IS NOT WHAT ALL THE HERETIC CHRISTIAN CHURCH'S OF THIS WORLD SAY THAT IT IS. So please, DO CONTACT US, we look forward to hearing from you.
