God knows all things. He knows your heart, your thoughts, and even where they spring from. He is the creator of all mankind and all things. How could not he know of what he invented? He would. And here are some verses from Palm 139:1-18 on the subject. O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. It is clear that God knows you prior even to your birth. Jeremiah 1:4-10 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. All your thoughts has he written down. You are like the apple of his eye or very important to him. Satan would deceive some saying that they matter not. God said differently and I for one believe him. How about you? What you do speaks volumes more than what you say. We are to love not just in word but in deed and in truth.

You are like the apple of his eye or very important to him. Satan would deceive some saying that they matter not. God said differently and I for one believe him. How about you? What you do speaks volumes more than what you say. We are to love not just in word but in deed and in truth. Revelations 22:12-13 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Also the two churches that received a good praise report (And without rebuke to them. These being Smyrna, in Revelations 2:9. I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. And Philadelphia, in Revelations 3:8. I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.) having good fruits or works. James 2:19-20,26 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. We are not saved by good works but unto good works. Yet a man of faith (Even Noah, Abraham, and Rahab had evident works showing their faith(s). Read Hebrews 11:1-40 and James chapters 1-2. Those who say Paul said anything different than James need to consider the whole word of God. Here is what Paul himself meant, said, and wrote. Galatians 2:16 "Yet we know that a person is justified not by the works of the law but through faith in/of Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in/of Christ, and not by doing the works of the law, because no one will be justified by the works of the law." (See all of Galatians 2:15—3:14) Romans 3:28 "For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law." (See all of Romans 3:21—4:25) Paul did not write the word "alone" in Rom 3:28; Martin Luther was the one who added the word "allein" in his German Bible translation. James does not write "by works alone" but stresses "not by faith alone"; he maintains that both have to go together. God will neither fail nor forsake us until our expected end. He then will receive us into everlasting life, if we faint not nor turn aside from his words. Acts 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. He knows our hearts, especially when his spirit abides in us. We vare not longer cut off or severed from him spiritually. Our renewal (Titus 3:5, Romans 6:4, and Genesis 3:15) of relationship with God, as promised and fulfilled by and through the the second or last Adam, (1 Corinthians 15:21-45) begins again, just like prior to the fall of mankind. First Adam was "natural" or "from the earth and of dust", of which we all do now bear his image. And the second Adam who was "spiritual" or "from heaven", and we who are born again in the water baptism in his name receiving of his spirit, also now bear the image of the heavenly man. Revelations 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. The reins is used here to show the inmost thoughts, feelings, purposes, of the soul. God is speaking to the apostate or false churches here, which departed from his words long ago. These have adopted the doctrines of devils and man made teachings instead of his glorious words that set us all free. They promise but enslave by corruption. They sell the grace of God for money or worse yet, deny portions or parts of the whole word of God in order to support their claims of falsehood. If God is the maker of all things, then he is the creator of all mankind and knows the hearts and minds of his creation. In the natural world, an inventor better know his/her product in and out, or to the best of their ability. Isaiah 40:26-31 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. There is a promise of renewed strength to the believer. Here God knows the ways of all and nothing is hid from his eyes. Hebrews 4:12-16 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. We have his eyes and mind by the spirit which gives light in this spiritually darkened world that we all live in. And who darkened it? Satan after gaining the upperhand over man, and thus temporary control of this present world. but Christ redeemed us or bought it back, taking it from Satan at Calvary. We are blood bought. Christ is our Passover. By him we gain the entrance to the father. John 10:9-11 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. Also John 14:6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. The trinity will lead you to paths of unrighteousness. Psalm 23:1-4 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Jesus is Lord over all having all power. See Acts 4:12, Acts 10:36, and Matthew 28:18. We read in Matthew 7:21-23 the following future event. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. The simple pass on and are punished. There is a lion in the streets, Satan as a roaring lion seeks to devour your soul by deception, pride, and division. God said that the final days were to be nearly indentical to the first ones. Read Matthew 24 (all). And how were the people bck then? Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Man greived God. It is not wise move to make God upset or angry. To all the haters of God, he will remember you in that day. Now is the time of salvation and to repent and by faith be baptized, receiving the salvation of your souls through his grace. As God eliminated all that was unlike him then. He will do the same thing but by fire instead of water this time. 2 Peter 3:10-18 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. No where does any true man of God write with a holier than thou intention. Paul said he committed more sin or highest sinner of all sinners. All have sinned and all are unworthy of the least of the mercies of God. Yet he died for all of us in due time. Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. What is due time mean? when God sees best. As it all is a matter of trust. Do you go driving down the road and stop your car before the curve to make sure it does not end? No. So why would you doubt God who never lost a battle, defeated Satan at Calvary, and can call all the stars by name? That is why we wait upon the Lord as he will lift us up in due time. 1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. God shut the door on the Ark when he decided it was best. He waited first for certain events to happen. King Saul lost his kingdom because of his improper actions. He lacked trust in God. This is found in 1 Samuel 13:1-14. Today in this world God can manifest his light and you will see through it or by it. In thy light shall we see light said the psalmist. Also in John 3:19-21 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. 1 Peter 2:9 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. It is not of you but entrusted in and to you. Jesus was that great light that shined into the darkness of this present world. Job 11:17 tells of God shining forth from and in our lives. Also read Job 33:14-26. And here is 33:27-30 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living. Deuteronomy 33:2-3 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. If you love God you will keep his words. See John 14:15/15:14. We read in Psalm 119:l-11 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Young or old, rich or poor, no matter as we all must trust and obey him to please the living God. (Hebrews 11:1-6) Those who are saved are told to preach the Gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15- 18) we are told to spread the Gospel seed and let God take care of the ones who receive it into their open hearts. Much of the seed will not enter into the hard ground of unbelievers. Satan wishes to take it out by whatever means possible. Sin hardens the heart and is very deceitful. Misery loves company! Satan wants all to join in the place that he will go to and be weak as all others. He is the biggest loser with God. He had direct access to him with nobody trying to tempt or iterfere with that relationship. But sin came from within and troubled Lucifer, who then turned into the greatest enemy of all mankind. It is not a issue of anything else but sin and it's effects that plagues our world. As we all slowly dying physically daily, yet we have the chance to regain paradise lost and eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Though we cannot do it of our own. Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. This is the salvation formula! His grace and our active faith to the renewal of the Holy Spirit and unto good works. It is really easy. The hardest part is overcoming the stumbling blocks of the heathen. Isaiah 8:14, 1 Peter 2:8, and 1 John 2:10. Anything not found directly in the bible or word of God is a stumbling block. Such as the pagan triads passed on to all cultures from Babylonian times until today. Keep yourself from idols.
