We have offered joint rulersp with Jesus the Christ
the promise of sitting with Him His throne joint rulers
the THEoCRATIC KINGDOM and through it, the
earth.
Beloved poor SPIRIT and is every Christian;
meek and so is every Christian. proud cannot
expect any blessings under grace
My calling is heavenly, hope is heavenly destiny
is heavenly and not earthly not the Israetsh KINGDOM
on the EARTH with Jerusalem as the Capital

Is :32, 33)
"For this My blood of the New Testament which is
shed for many for the remission of SINS atthew 26 28
You have right to ask God to forgive you because
you have forgiven somebody else.
That is laaO it is not grace.
