Leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ,
LET US GO ON TO PERFECTION,
not laying again the foundation of repentance
from dead works and of faith toward God.
–Hebrews 6:1 (NKJV)–

¹² NOT THAT I HAVE ALREADY ATTAINED, OR AM ALREADY PERFECTED; BUT I PRESS ON, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. ¹³ Brethren, I DO NOT COUNT MYSELF TO HAVE APPREHENDED; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and REACHING FORWARD to those things which are ahead, ¹⁴ 
I PRESS TOWARD THE GOAL FOR THE PRIZE
of the upward CALL OF GOD in Christ Jesus.
–Philippians 3:12-14 (NKJV)–

Dawna de Silva, Sozo: Saved, Healed, Delivered (Destiny Image, 2016). I don’t know much about this Dawna lady. If she is who I think, she might possibly be a very mean person represented but left unnamed in American Gospel: Spirit and Fire. It might be better to go with the old Wigglesworth view of healing.

C.O. Baptista Films, Pilgrim’s Progress, 1978.

Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone,
he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead.
The stone sank into his forehead,
and he fell facedown on the ground.
–1 Samuel 17:49 (NIV)–

Hope deferred makes the heart sick.
–Proverbs 13:12 (NIV)–

Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, 
but they seemed like only a few days to him
because of his love for her.
–Genesis 29:20 (NIV)–

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ IT ALWAYS PROTECTS, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
–1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)–

²¹ Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. ²² Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. ²³ For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. ²⁴ Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her ²⁶ to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the Word, ²⁷ and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. ²⁸ In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. ²⁹ After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— ³⁰ for we are members of his body. ³¹ “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and THE TWO WILL BECOME ONE FLESH.” ³² This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. ³³ However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
–Ephesians 5:21-33 (NIV)–

¹⁹ MY HUSBAND IS NOT AT HOME; HE HAS GONE ON A LONG JOURNEY. ²⁰ He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon.” ²¹ With persuasive words she led him astray; SHE SEDUCED HIM WITH HER SMOOTH TALK.
–Proverbs 7:19-21 (NIV)–

¹ Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” ² But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have SEXUAL RELATIONS with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. ³ The husband should fulfill his MARITAL DUTY to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. ⁴ The wife does not have authority over her own BODY but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own BODY but yields it to his wife. ⁵ DO NOT DEPRIVE EACH OTHER except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then COME TOGETHER again so that SATAN will not TEMPT YOU because of your lack of self-control. ⁶ I say this as a concession, not as a command. ⁷ I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. ⁸ Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. ⁹ But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for IT IS BETTER TO MARRY THAN TO BURN WITH PASSION. ¹⁰ To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A WIFE MUST NOT SEPARATE FROM HER HUSBAND. ¹¹ But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. ¹² To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. ¹³ And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. ¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. ¹⁵ But IF THE UNBELIEVER LEAVES, LET IT BE SO. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to LIVE IN PEACE. ¹⁶ How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
–1 Corinthians 7:1-16 (NIV)–

At that time I could not find a single Christian leader who shared a similar interest in finding out if there were truths hidden in the New Age. Now we are beginning to hear more and more REVELATION THAT IS IN LINE WITH WHAT NEW AGERS HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG and we are hearing more and more teaching about CHRISTIANS “TAKING BACK TRUTHS” FROM THE NEW AGE that really belong to citizens of the Kingdom of God…It wasn’t that I wanted to become a New Ager, I just wanted to find out if maybe they had uncovered some truths the church hadn’t.

BEWARE OF FLATTERER!
–J.B.–

Because of YOUR STUBBORNNESS and YOUR UNREPENTANT HEART, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of GOD’S WRATH, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.
–Romans 2:5 (NIV)–

If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet WALK IN THE DARKNESS, we LIE and DO NOT LIVE OUT THE TRUTH. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and THE BLOOD OF JESUS, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, he is faithful and just and will FORGIVE US OUR SINS and purify us from all unrighteousness.
–1 John 1:6-9 (NIV)–

When you fast, do not LOOK SOMBER as the HYPOCRITES do,
for THEY DISFIGURE THEIR FACES TO SHOW OTHERS they are fasting.
Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
–Matthew 6:16 (NIV)–

LYING LIPS ARE AN ABOMINATION TO THE LORD.
–Proverbs 12:22 (NKJV)–

YOU BELONG TO YOUR FATHER, THE DEVIL, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, NOT HOLDING TO THE TRUTH, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for HE IS A LIAR and THE FATHER OF LIES.
–John 8:44 (NIV)–

ALL LIARS shall have their part in 
THE LAKE WHICH BURNS WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE. 
–Revelation 21:8 (NKJV)–

Fearfulness hath surprised the HYPOCRITES.
Who among us shall dwell with the DEVOURING FIRE?
who among us shall dwell with EVERLASTING BURNINGS?
–Isaiah 33:14 (KJV)–

He will cut him to pieces and assign him
a place with the HYPOCRITES,
where there will be WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.
–Matthew 25:51 (NIV)–

Upon the WICKED he shall rain snares,
FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, and an horrible tempest:
this shall be the portion of their cup.
–Psalm 11:6 (KJV)–
