It is very important to now Jesus came in the flesh, for the antichrist does not believe this. The antichrist is in our world and believes not the power of God or the power of Christ. When John wrote 1 John it seems is talking perhaps to the Jewish brethren and not just the church. For Jesus is not declared as being the first (alpha) and last (Omega) as in Revelation when he writting to the church. He is proclaiming Christ in the flesh, perhaps someone not full understanding of the Godhead bodily as far as who Christ is and the fact of his oneness with the Father. There is always that separation between God the Father and Son that is often emphasized. The full revelation of Christ not fully understood until time of education of a believer and even I suspect non believers. There many that want to claim they believe in a God or creator of the universe. Yet not everyone realize he came in the form of his dear Son. In order for Christ to declare this in Revelations as being the first and the last, we must ask why then does scripture teach the separation of Father and Son. Perhaps when Christ came as a babe in the flesh, and grew up to teach the world he lived in, he would have those that would follow in his footsteps, who they themselves had no power to be God or to control the power of healing. Their sole reliance would have to be by His Spirit, as they followed in his earthly footsteps, doing God's will. Jesus is head of the priesthood and head of the church. Yet man is given the power to teach and lead the church by His Spirit and Grace. Our power is never equal to God, yet we petition God the Father for help when praying.

Has children of God as believers in Christ, who is born of God through the death and resurrection of Jesus, as the Spirit of God in us that is greater then ourselves. Can we grasp the knowledge of God, in whose earth is his footstool and heaven is his throne, resides in our hearts as believers. Can we grasp in our hearts the redeemer is really in our heart not just in word but also in Spirit, his Spirit speaking to our very soul. Living in the habitation of our heart. With God we hear the spirit of error and the spirit of truth. When a minister is speaking trust me if he is a child of God and he not picking up his own errors there something wrong. The devil will attack when a minister speaks, but can not remain, when error is corrected with truth of the Spirit. Let us hold to truth. Let us ask God for truth for truth begins with love, and ends with love. The Spirit of error was sent out once to deceive a King that was in disobedience to God. I question this event only because God can not perform deception himself. How could he send out a lying Spirit. Then I remember the condition of the heart of the king was not of God, but fixed on man.

Let me give an example of a lie of someone saying there is danger ahead but no one believes and continues at the same rate of speed they were going on to run smack into the danger ahead with no way out of falling into danger then you fail to heed truth and thought you were better then the person speaking and only believed yourself. Now if you heed the caustion of the man and you are then able to see the danger and slow down, you are able to escape. The blindness comes with failing to see the truth of the man's words, you believe yourself to be true. (2 Chronicles 18) The king should of hide himself for his own protection, lost his life, but returned in peace though he was dead. The Spirit did he lie that was sent forth, no the lie came from the one within the king who disobeyed truth.

God will not himself send you a lie, you will be the one that will not believe truth. God desires to protect you. Yet the protection is for your safety, take and heed the warnings of truth, or go far enough to see the danger. No we must rely on the truth of God's testimony of who Jesus is and who his Son is. We choose to believe the Revelation that John recorded, but does it line up with rest of scripture and what it says. That why to believe the testimony of all the prophets and teachers is to examine to see if their word is truth according to scripture. Ministers make errors but God's word will remain long after they are gone from the earth.

God is love, and God was willing to sacrifice his Son for our sin. Our that placed us in this world. The orignal sin of disobeying God. When we disobey God we heed the warnings of faith and truth. We hear not love in the decision not to go forward but to go another way. What direction is man going without God and disobedience to God straight to hell. If you choose to follow God you doing a 360 away from the pit of hell, you have to learn to not to stumble, because God is truth and love. Jesus came in the flesh and is the Alpha and the Omega. He is God but we are not God and to follow Christ is to follow in Christ perfect humanity by God's Spirit.

Dear Heavenly Father, you warned us about your grace and truth, those left behind are in sinking in sand this hour, Lord help your servants to rescue the perishing and care for the dying as you taught by teaching truth and showing love. In Jesus precious name Amen
