the Unknown

the unknown...children of the curse...darkness



Addicted to wrong desires.  Slaves to wrong...EVIL desires...thoughts.  Captives...servants to Evil thoughts...thinking.  Carnal thinking.  OVERPOWERED...ruled by the father of the carnal-minded.
The children of the FLESH....of the "spirit" of the flesh.  Self-deceived...liars...like their father the Devil, Satan.  Unable to "come IN Spirit (Spirit-led)...and IN Truth [Christ].  Romans 8:8
...the UN-Regenerate...are...IN..."the flesh"...the spirit of the flesh, Satan...they CANNOT submit to
God-Will...for they ARE self-willed...a "self" separate from God-Him-Self...they are not ONE with God...Body of Christ.  The children of flesh are slaves of Sin and Death...belong to Sin and belong to Death...8:2....POWERLESS to be free indeed, 8:3.  Concerned with EARTHLY things
...with the things of the flesh [concerns, desires]...they live to their flesh and not unto God
...Spirit....THEY CANNOT ...PLEASE God ...they are self-pleasing.  The Spirit of God does not dwell IN them...8:8-9...they do not BELONG-TO God....are NOT...His.  ONLY those Aforeknown...Chosen by God to receive Him His Spirit and Word as Lord...can receive Life.
The Life that was in Jesus Christ...the Life lived according to God...Spirit.  It is through the Spirit of our Father that we the Regenerated...we REborn of Him His Spirit of Truth...it is through Spirit we put to death the works, deeds of the body of flesh...and Live.  It is only those souls who are Spirit led...that are the Children of God.  The unreborn....the children of the flesh...children of the spirit of the flesh, Satan, do the works [will, thoughts of he their father]...the spirit of slavery IS...IN them.
At home...at work...IN them.  God sets His Aforeknown...children...free indeed from Sin: under a WRITTEN Law we were POWERLESS to live Godly...powerless to BE as He God IS....but the Living Law...Spirit of Christ...IN us empowers us to Live the Life PLEASING TO God; Romans 8:3 and 8:13....if...IF the Spirit DOES dwell, ABIDE, IN you ...you put to death the works of the Sin ruled flesh...Evil deeds...Evil doing...if Christ...is IN you, then the Father IS...IN you...through Him His Will...His POWER you think, speak, do....please Him and not self.  See Phillipians 2:10-13...It IS God who gives BOTH the Power and Will...to please Him.  The self-led, the carnal-minded are slaves of Sin...Romans 7:14.  If the Spirit does not dwell IN you...if the Spirit does not lead, draw you...you are not God's.  Proverbs 20:11....Even a child IS KNOWN...BY his deeds, doings.  The child of the Spirit does according to the Spirit...the child of the FLESH does according to the Devil the father of flesh.  We the Reborn have...possess...are Possessed by God/Spirit IN our inner "self ".
God deep hidden in our souls...ROMANS 7:17.  God ...THE Truth...that sets and keeps us free indeed...FACT...REALITY....no pretense, hypocrisy.  A child is known by whom he listens-to/obeys.  Matthew 8:32-34...for the child who sins is a slave of Sin...slave TO Sin.  Luke 18:9, the Pharisee and the tax collector: the pretender was glad he was not like the humble tax collector who confessed his Sin that mastered him.  Agreeing with God's Verdict...Truth...that ALL have sinned for all are born mastered by Sin...Godless no matter what church they attend...no matter how much they speak of God.  Father through Jesus the Christ proclaimed  :  I NEVER knew you, you were not Aforeknown....Matt 7:23...Depart from Me for I NEVER Knew you.  John 6:66...MANY of His disciples walked no more with Him....WHEN they were told that ONLY through the Father/Spirit could they be [become] His....only through Rebirth....being God led...Spirit led...not self-led, self-willed.  God CHOOSES us...we don't choose Him.  God His Will ALONE chooses, saves us.
We His OWN Children...John 1:12...born not of lust, desires of flesh...NATURAL , carnal generation
...born not of self-will, man's will, nor men willing...no...born of God's Will, His Decision, not our decision.  God's OWN chosen tribe...Jews...children of the flesh [Judas was chosen in flesh, but was not child of the Spirit]...rejected the Son Jesus Christ, the Living Word IN "flesh"; BUT to His Aforechosen to receive Spirit, Faith/Belief/POWER....the Living Word became the Head of we His Body.  He is the Light that removes our...prince of darkness...kingdom of darkness from within.
