SALVATION, HOLINESS AND DELIVERANCEWritten by Rev.Anthony Smith

E.Payment. Phi 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) #2.HOLINESS; an essential and distinguishing attribute of someone. The quality of being sacred. Are we then Holy in eyes of God? Yes. 1Pe 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 1Pe 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1Pe 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: The Trinity of God;1John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, Father, Word, and Holy Ghost: and these three are one. The Holy Ghost, which gives us all truths and understanding of scripture, will not live in an unclean body. We are sanctified Holy by God. 1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is temple of Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? We must listen to ministers of God, because of their sacrifices for us. 2Co 6:4 thru 2Co 6:10; But in all things approving ourselves as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, By word of truth, by power of God, by armour of righteousness on right hand and on left, By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. 1Th 4:8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. We are despised by many but we are not ones being despised but God whom dwells within us. We are ambasitors of Christ. Heb 9:12 Neither by blood of goats and calves, [SALVATION, HOLINESS AND DELIVERANCE cannot come from any earthly sacrifice of any animal. This is idol worship in new testiment.] but by his own blood he entered in once into holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Holiness is a state of mind over body. Liveing a life that is Christ like in outward and inward appearance. Rom 11:16 For if firstfruit be holy [Jesus], lump is also holy [the church]: and if root be holy[Jesus], so are branches.[We are Branches] Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. We are Holy, we are in Holiness, we are of Holiness, we are immage of God. Will all believe? No. Mat 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. #3. DELIVERANCE; recovery or preservation [Mat 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else bottles break, and wine runneth out, and bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. 1Th 5:23 And very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.] from loss or danger. The act of delivering or condition of being delivered. Rescue from bondage [We all at one time or another were in bondage to this world and its laws and customs. Sin reigned in our hearts, minds and spirits.] or danger. A publicly expressed opinion or judgment, act of delivering from sin or saving from evil, act of regaining or saving someone lost (or in danger of becoming lost), rescuing from error and returning to a rightful course; "the reclamation of delinquent children. Without deliverance there would be no salvation. There would be no reason to serve God nor believe in Christ. Here is what you are delivered from; 1. delivered from law of sin and death. 2. delivered from bondage of corruption. 3. delivered from them that do not believe. 4. delivered from so great a death,{The second Death}. 5. delivered us from power of darkness. 6. delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 7. delivered from Persecutions. 8. delivered from afflictions.{Body and Soul} 9. delivered from mouth of lion. 10. delivered from filthy conversation of wicked. 11. delivered from chains of darkness. SALVATION, HOLINESS AND DELIVERANCE are ALL one and same. You cannot have one without other. Just as with God, Jesus and The Holy Ghost, they all are one and all are within in each other. We accept all or none. ars.

Continued from page 1
Abraham built an industry making babies and one can be sure he chose his partners with a view to their genetic make-up. Perhaps this is why he and Pharaoh fought over Sarai as we are told in Bible. It is not unlike effort to create people like Thomas Jefferson or Frederick Douglas which I have written extensively about in books like Tuckahoe Mud. The more mundane reasons for having a baby-factory include armies and colonizing people who you know are your own kin. The corporate intrigues behind this are more than mere legend. The hierarchy demonstrated in laws of more current day Israel including Halakah make it clear that some people get full rights and others get to be merely Devoted Ones or sword fodder. Devoted Ones does not mean some pious people serving church. It includes Scarlet Women used in various sex and magical or occult rituals like L. Ron Hubbard did when he tried to bring Babalon to his beck and call.
