G4151 Spirit = pneuma pronounced new-ma, the p is silent. Breath of life, air, wind. Measurable plasma.
The existence of God throughout the entire universe. God breathed into Adam and he became a living soul.

G5590 Soul = psychē = personality, character, mind, your free will, your thinking and understanding, who you are as a person. Translated sometimes as “life”.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul G5590 and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul G5590 and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Matthew 10:28 Destroy both soul and body in Gehenna, Lake of Fire. Destroy mind/character/personality/understanding.
No thoughts, no knowledge when destroyed by Lake of Fire.
No eternal life when suffer the 2nd death.

10:39 Synonymous with life

Matthew 11:29 rest for your mind.

12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul G5590 is well pleased: I will put my spirit G4151 upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles.

1 Corinthians 15:40-45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; G5590 the last Adam was made a quickening spirit G4151.

Philippians 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit G4151, with one mind G5590 striving together for the faith of the gospel;

1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls G5590 in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

Ecclesiastes 12:7 Spirit 4151 pneuma/breath returns to God. But has no memory or thoughts.
Psyche goes to the grave or place of death. Upon death, it sleeps until the resurrection.
9:5 The living know that they will die, but the dead do not know anything. The psyche is asleep. The breath/wind also doesn't know anything. Totally opposite of traditional religious dogma.

“Grave” or “sheol” + spirit (in the same verse)= 0 times in bible.
But “Grave” or “sheol” + soul = 8 times in NASB, 5 in KJV.

Psyche as thinking:
John 10:24 KJV Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? G5590 (think) If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
NASB95 “How long will You keep us in suspense?”

Gen.1:20,21,24,30 = G5590 psyche = soul. Yes, animals have souls (life giving spiritual minds). Without a soul/mind, a creature could not move on its own. Without a soul, dogs & cats & monkeys could not love their owners and one another. But they do love.)
Gen.1:2; 6:3,7 = G4151 pneuma = spirit (The spiritual/plasma body which resides inside and around the flesh.)

The Holy Ghost is the soul of Jesus who died but is alive. We have the mind of Christ. His soul lives inside of only the truly saved people. But The Holy Spirit of God is present in all living things, animals, trees, wicked people, etc.

The bible didn't use G5590 for the phrase, “The Holy Ghost”, but nevertheless, that is what The Holy Ghost is, (can be defined as.)

The flesh needs both, soul and spirit, in order to have life.
All animals and insects also have both.
But plants/trees have probably only the spirit.

Healing Stones and Chakras:
At the Feast of Tabernacles in 2019, I had been feeling extremely unwell. During the fiesta, we went to a local store where they were selling a mineral stone called “Shungite” which comes from Russia. I had never heard of it before. They told me that people had experienced healing from using such stones. I purchased a necklace of the stone and slept better that night than I had in a long time and felt better the next day and ever since!
I thought “if this stone can bring healing, there must be other stones also”. Then researched and discovered the healing abilities of quartz, amethyst, bloodstone, etc. I purchased some of these and found tremulous and immediate relief from pain by using the bloodstone.
Many “Christians” are taught that to use such stones is witchcraft, paganism, demonic and Hinduism. But the same people are willing to go to the store and buy a copper bracelet to help with arthritis. It's the exact same thing. It's not witchcraft or New Age, or any such evil. It's just minerals that God created for our health.
The Shungite is well accepted in Russia by the medical establishment and government, because it works.
God has many different precious stones around his throne, and such stones will be present in New Jerusalem and Paradise. God commanded the priests in the temple to wear them. God himself doesn't consider such stones to be witchcraft, neither should we.
When Jesus laid it on my mind to do a sermon about the difference between the soul and spirit, I didn't yet make the connection to the topic of chakras and stones. But when I went to begin preparing this sermon about the soul and spirit, I noticed that it's listed at the very top of the page of the chakra article from the Feast of Tabernacles of 2019!
Therefore, this all comes full circle. When working with my clogged arteries this week, I had been using bloodstones on my leg which gave me some relief from the pain, and hopefully also helped some to move oxygen and blood through the area.
Last night, I also started using shungite again, and felt additional relief.
Chakras, energy points, the soul and our spirit are all connected in how we must treat ourselves with natural remedies. The physical and spiritual are connected. When one is sick, the other is sick. Even established medical science recognizes this. So when we are treating physical ailments, we should remember to also treat our chakras with God's healing stones. Many times, the solution to a health problem is multi-fold. Not just one thing, but several herbs, proper diet, exercise, water, mental health, spiritual health, the health of our body's electrical systems, etc. The stones work in part by electrical frequencies, even as copper for arthritis does also.

Nov. 25, 2022 (1st day of 9th biblical month.)

Recently, I developed symptoms of clogged arteries.
Although my symptoms were serious, I refused to go to the doctor or hospital, but instead chose to use natural remedies mixed with faith and prayer.

As of Wednesday evening, I have had great improvement, after a very troublesome night on Tuesday.

I greatly appreciate everyone's love and concern for me.
But I am extremely glad that I didn't listen to any of the people who were urging me to see a doctor. And here's why:

I am extremely glad that I didn't seek emergency attention Tuesday night, as that would had resulted in even less sleep, and most likely a surgery (no matter how small, still a surgical procedure), and an artificial stent.
I refuse such!
And I also refuse those “statins” (drug/medicine) that I have read so much about.
I'm not ignorant of these drugs and treatments. I've been around enough people with heart problems, and I have read much on these topics.
Plus, of course, when I am sick, I get online and educate myself even more. I read a multitude of articles. Not just one or two.
I don't make my decisions without information and facts.

More reasons: (Lessons learned by the pastor's trial with clogged arteries.)

1 Chronicles 16:10-11
Look to Jesus and seek his face and his strength.
Don't reply on medical establishment first. Try natural remedies first, mixed with faith.

(Confirmation: As I was typing the word “strength” in these sermon notes, I heard the word “strength” aloud on the bible app that Brittnei has! At the exact moment, as I was typing it!)

I'm not against going to the doctor when truly needed, after we have tried the natural remedies and given them enough time to work. Especially for diagnosis and tests.
And I'm not against taking doctor prescribed medicines when truly necessary after we have given the natural remedies enough time to work, but was unsuccessful.

But we must learn to use natural remedies mixed with faith first, not last.

Romans 5:1-5 Perseverance and endurance.
James 1:1-6
Not give up easily.
Natural health remedies take time!

What are we going to do in the Great Tribulation, when we can no longer go to the doctor?
We must learn how to use natural remedies now, and how to endure and persevere until we receive our healing. We must not give up easily.

-If other people outside of the true church can rely on natural remedies, surely the true church can also.

-Be thankful for trials and tribulations. I had already been wanting to lose some weight in my belly. Now, this most recent development motivates me to lose the weight. (I'm not over weight. But my belly is too big.)

-Rev. 12:10-11 I'm thankful for the new, additional testimony, which I would not have if I had given up too easily, too soon!

-I have to set the example.

Another lesson learned, for all of us:
-Must take action when told that we have high triglycerides.
Change of diet, more exercise. Don't wait for clogged arteries to develop.

Announcement/reminder: Hanukkah Dec. 19-26.

How we know whether an Old Testament law is still in effect:

1. What was the reason for the law, especially what was the spiritual reason for the law?
2. Any New Testament rejection or requirement of that law?
3. Did any New Testament person continue to observe it after the crucifixion?
4. When did the law first begin?
5. Any Old Testament or New Testament prophecy of it still being observed after Jesus returns?
6. How did the blood/crucifixion of Jesus change it?
7. Any divine word from Jesus during these end times?

Lev. 11

1. Reason for the law? Torah people claim that it's because of health. But there's nothing in the bible to prove this.
   Yes we can rightfully say that it makes sense that some Old Testament laws were for health. But we can't rightfully make that claim with unclean meats -because there are many unhealthy foods that are not listed as forbidden.

-And because it never says that those meats are unhealthy.
-And because eating too much beef or chicken is just as unhealthy as eating too much pork.
-Chicken and beef also contain parasites just like pork. All meat must be cooked completely.

Therefore the health excuse isn't legitimate.

Gen. 9:1-4 We know that all animal meats were declared as acceptable to eat when Noah came off of the Ark.
The unclean meat laws were in effect when the animals entered the Ark, but the laws were done away when they departed the Ark. Therefore, that disproves the health reason.

My grandmother ate a lot of pork, all of her life, and lived to be 96 years old, and she never had a stroke or heart attack. She was generally in good health with the exception of Alzheimer's or Dementia in her oldest years, but can be expected for people in their 90's, so that can't really be pinpointed to pork.

There are plenty of people who observe the unclean meat laws who still have high blood pressure and other health problems.

We know that in the bible, certain animals such as dogs and pigs represent wicked people and wicked nations, even gentile nations until they repent and accept the God of Israel.
Therefore this is the reason that during some specific time eras in the bible, unclean meat laws were in effect, to teach that the followers of Jesus must not have anything to do with lost people.
When Noah's family departed from the Ark, there were no gentiles yet. Only Noah's family. Everyone else had been killed in the great flood.
Noah's grandsons became the parents/grandparents/ancestors of new gentile races after the tower of Babel/Babylon. But at the time of the Ark, Noah's sons were considered as part of the congregation of God. Therefore, there was no need for unclean meat laws.
This teaches us that the reason for the unclean meat laws was only symbolic/ceremonial.

2, 3. Paul never taught the law of unclean meats. Neither did any of the New Testament apostles, or even Jesus.

2, 3. Acts 10
We find only Peter abstaining from certain specific meats in the New Testament, and God tells him to stop calling them unclean!
Acts 10 is absolute 100% undeniable proof that Jesus cleansed the meats and declared them as edible again just like in Noah's time.
Mark 7:18-19 Jesus himself said “Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him, because https://biblehub.com/greek/3756.htm it does not enter https://biblehub.com/greek/1519.htm his https://biblehub.com/greek/3588.htm heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” https://biblehub.com/greek/1519.htm https://biblehub.com/greek/3588.htm https://biblehub.com/greek/856.htm
Thus all https://biblehub.com/greek/3588.htm foods are clean.

4. We have no reason to believe that the unclean meat laws existed in the time of Adam and Eve, or part of creation itself.
Whereas the Sabbath was part of creation.

5. No OT or NT prophecy of unclean meat laws being applied after Jesus returns except only Ezek. 40-48 which also speaks of animal sacrifices for sin, and a Levitical priesthood, therefore is impossible to be a real scripture reference to the future after Jesus returns.
(Perhaps they are referring to the time era of the 2nd temple.)
However, we know that those last 9 chapters of Ezekiel do not match the style of writing of the first 39 chapters, therefore are most probably fake.
If we believe that they are real scriptures that truly refer to the time after Jesus returns, as is traditionally taught, then we must reject the entire New Testament and be Jewish instead of Christian, but that would be a horrible mistake and we would be antichrist.

6. The blood/crucifixion of Jesus absolutely cleansed meats, because his death and resurrection removed the barrier of gentile nations from having a close relationship with Jesus. Although a good relationship with Jesus was always available and possible with any gentile, it was more difficult in Old Testament times because of gentile culture. But Jesus' death and resurrection opened up a greater doorway/opportunity to the gentiles.
This is part of the lesson of Acts 10.
Both the gentiles and the meats were cleansed.
It doesn't make any sense/logic to say that one was cleansed, but not both.
The Crucifixion removed separation of nations in relation to salvation, and removed animal sacrifices and circumcision and other symbolic laws.

7. Yes. Oct. 2, 2009. Jesus did two things to prove to me that He had cleansed the meats.
-He showed me a turtle and a snail in the sky!
-When a "Torah" friend came to visit me, there was another friend visiting me as well. The non-Torah friend said to the Torah person, that some day in the future we might have to kill squirrels for survival.
The non-Torah person didn't know that my Torah friend and I had discussed & disagreed about meats. This statement came "out of the blue" or "out of the sky" as it were. It was definitely Jesus speaking and I knew it immediately.

Review:

1. What was the reason for the law, especially what was the spiritual reason for the law? Ceremonial/symbolic of separation between Israel and Gentiles, which no longer exists.
2. Any New Testament rejection or requirement of that law? Yes, both Acts 10 and Mark 7 reject the unclean meat laws.
3. Did any New Testament person continue to observe it after the crucifixion? Only Peter but was rebuked by God for it.
4. When did the law first begin? Unknown, but was removed during Noah's time, and then reinstated by Moses, and then removed again by Jesus. Therefore is only in effect during some specific time eras.
5. Any Old Testament or New Testament prophecy of it still being observed after Jesus returns? Only in a false scripture, or scripture that is about the 2nd temple and not after Jesus returns. Therefore, no.
6. How did the blood/crucifixion of Jesus changed it? The Crucifixion removed separation of nations in relation to salvation, and removed animal sacrifices and circumcision and other symbolic laws. Therefore, this automatically removes the unclean meat laws. If not, then we shouldn't be Christians. When we deny that Jesus cleansed the meats, we deny the power of the blood of Jesus, therefore rejection salvation.
7. Any divine word from Jesus during these end times? Yes. The Apostle Zimmerman received at least 2 divine confirmations, and one of those were amazingly powerful with the appearance of the animals in the sky!

The ministry that publishes the most accurate Bible of the past 1700+ years would automatically also be the ministry that is the most accurate in doctrine.
Ask yourself why would God give the divine revelation and inspiration and calling of the most accurate Bible in 1700 years to a false teacher?
The Alpha and Omega Bible is very easily and definitely and absolutely proven as being the most accurate. A very simple study proves it beyond any reasonable doubt. https://most-accurate-bible.com

There are a lot of Christians and pastors and websites and videos that declare that Jesus has already defeated the enemy, all enemies, eternally, it is finished. Therefore they claim that in every battle and in every situation all you have to do is to claim the victory that Jesus has already accomplished. The claim is that you don't need to fight. Just only claim the victory that Jesus accomplished. That's all.
The claim is that Satan has absolutely no power, because he is already defeated! The claim is that Jesus also removed our sinful nature!
Is this true? Here are the verses they use.

1 John 3:8 Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil.
Problem: The devil is still actively working. We see the works of the devil all around us. We are told in the bible that it's only going to get worse.
The coming of Jesus was one step out of many steps that God is taking to ultimately defeat Satan. But it's not 100% accomplished yet. The war between good and evil continues!

Col 2:15 When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.

Context verses 14-16, He removed our penalty/punishment for sins (the 2nd death) thereby removing the punishment announced by human judges, therefore we shouldn't allow people to wrongfully judge us for keeping the true holidays, drinking and feasting.

This doesn't say that we won't have battles. Nor does it say that we don't need to fight back against wickedness. It doesn't say that life will be easy. Yes we claim the victory of Jesus in this verse, but we also actively fight our own battle against legalism and those that judge us. It wasn't all accomplished by Jesus; we still continue this fight.

1 Cor. 9:26 Even Paul said that he had to fight in a way that isn't fighting air (in vain.)
(Think about all of the struggles and imprisonment that he had to endure.)

People also claim that if anyone claims the verse "by His stripes we are healed" Isaiah 53:5, that we absolutely will be healed, but we also see in 2 Cor. 12:7-10 that Paul repeatedly asked Christ for healing, and Jesus refused to heal him, so that Paul could be humbled and wouldn't be overly prideful.

1 Corinthians 15:54 Claim: Jesus defeated death.
:57 Claim: Jesus gives us the victory.

Context = 1st resurrection, and then ultimately at the timing of Paradise after the 1,100 years. Yes Jesus defeated death in his own body at his resurrection. And yes his death and resurrection gives us life, victory and rescue from the 2nd death after the 1,100 years.
But until the 1st resurrection comes, true Christians will continue to die just like unsaved people. And all death won't be completely defeated until Paradise.

We are not yet in Paradise therefore it is extremely clear that he has not yet put all things under his feet and therefore all things are not yet eternally defeated. Our battle continues. The battle between good and evil continues. The two witnesses will have to battle. We are told to beware of deception in the end times before deception has not been defeated. The Antichrist is not yet been defeated. There are many victories every day now they demonic forces therefore they have not been defeated. Any defeat that we read about of where Jesus accomplished it was individual specific battles won, not the war.

It's a "tickle the ears", "feel good" false doctrine.

It's true that we have power in claiming the blood of Christ and his Holy Ghost, and his name. But it's also true that Satan still has much power on this Earth and can definitely cause true believers to fall away. It's also true that sometimes true saints are martyred or greatly persecuted and we have both battles won and battles lost. We're not guaranteed an easy life just because of the victories of Jesus. We're not told that we will never have to flee for our lives, or that the enemy has no power.

The evidence and proof is all around you, everywhere you look, and throughout the entire bible. We are promised that we will suffer.
Yes we are given power, and God's help, and sometimes great miracles of deliverance. But there's also times that our fight must be much more difficult, and that is necessary for our own good & purification & building of our character.

1 Peter 1:1-9 The events of the crucifixion and resurrection will not fix all of our problems every time that we claim those verses.
Trials and tribulations and some battles lost are absolutely necessary.

I definitely support and encourage fasting, when it's for the correct reasons, the correct way and without hypocrisy.
However, there's several issues of concern:

-Some people fast too often because they falsely believe that much fasting automatically makes them holy.
-Fasting too often, with the false belief that God wants us to fast extremely often. (Wrong reasons.)
-Fasting too much when they need the nutrients for physical or mental health problems.

Mark 2:18-20 The disciples of Jesus didn't fast as often as the disciples of John the baptizer, because the disciples of Jesus was with Jesus.
After we attain a very close relationship with Jesus and are secure/strong in that relationship, we don't need to fast as often as we previously fasted when we were seeking Jesus!

Luke 18:9-14 The man of pride who fasted twice a week, was not as righteous as the humble man.
Fasting often doesn't automatically make you acceptable to God, or more righteous than other people who don't fast as often as you.

Matthew 5:20 Unless our righteousness far exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees, we will not enter the fullness of The Kingdom!
It doesn't say that our faith or belief must be as strong as the Pharisees, but rather our righteousness!
He said this immediately after saying that none of the law of the 10 Commandments would ever be done away with until we reach Paradise (the end of this current world, and the beginning of the next world of eternity.)

Yet, the Pharisees fasted very often. Therefore I was told by a very legalistic person a long time ago, that he fasted extremely often so that his righteousness would exceed the Pharisees. Ridiculous! The righteousness of the Pharisees was never how often they fasted, but rather only their belief in the law. Their much fasting wasn't accepted/loved by God. And their legalistic approach to the law also wasn't accepted/loved by God. And their lack of faith and their lack of understanding of spiritual things and lack of obedience (their hypocrisy) wasn't accepted by God.

Matthew 6:16-18 We shouldn't brag about how much we fast, or let others know.

Isaiah 1:10-17 What God wants from us more than anything else isn't more fasting, but rather that we would not be hypocrites, and that we take care of the poor and needy, and that we stand against evil, and not be evil ourselves.

Although Jesus, Moses and Elijah fasted 40 days, we don't read of such long periods of fasting from Jeremiah, Noah, Paul, Matthew, Peter, or Daniel or many others. Even Esther's (and the Jews') fast was only 3 days, yet God spared them. Nineveh's fast was also only 3 days. Yet God spared Nineveh.
The 40 day fasts are very exceptional and not required for the majority of true followers of Jesus.

Again, I promote fasting! Some people should fast more often than other people, especially if they are struggling with sin.
And especially when people first begin studying to determine what is the truth.

But continued fasting, too often, even after attaining a strong relationship with Jesus, can possibly sometimes become nothing more than a ritual. Just like praying with your eyes closed before eating.

And fasting too often can be dangerous to your physical and mental health. God designed our bodies to need the nutrients from food.

We should fast when we need to fast.
But not just because you are trying to meet a quota.

Reminder: Most of the USA changes their clocks back one hour tonight.
Tuesday is election day in the USA. I encourage all Americans to vote.
