“ Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God , and Him only shalt thou serve” Matthew 4:10
Jesus was rebuking the devil after the devil had temped him to satisfy his fleshly desires to eat. Jesus had fasted for forty days and forty nights in the wilderness and was hungry in the flesh , his natural desire to eat was to force God, to come to his terms and satisfy his human desire. Like as we try to do. We are always calling out to God to do this or do that: which is what our human wants. Jesus was human in the flesh just as we, but he refused to serve his natural desire. He knew this was of the devil After Jesus rebuked this way: as being evil, it departed and he was ministered by the angels who satisfied his needs as God seen fit .
This is why he could say “I am the way the truth and the light, No man cometh to the Father but by me.” It sounds like he was speaking about his physical and natural self, If so, that would have been boastful for that’s the way the natural mind thinks, which is the devil speaking : Jesus was speaking of a new and living way to become one with God, as He was one with God. A way which he alone knew and wanted us to follow. A way of sacrifice ! He said “ I do nothing of myself, the Father who is in me he doeth the works. that is why he demands of us to surrender without a mental reservation.
Jesus gave up `his natural mind which came to him by way of his natural and physical birth into this world, and I don't mean he was without mind, he was a carpenter and did all of the things needed to care for himself and his family but, he refused to put his confidence in this way of life. He surrendered what seemed right to him, to what was God’s will: as in the garden where he lay prostrate in prayer, asking that this cup be passed from him , which was another temptation, for the natural flesh does not want to die. Never the less, surrending to the will of God.
This is “Surrendering to God without a mental reservation!” (without a reservation to that which seemed right in his own eyes.)
This is the way the truth and the light, and no man cometh to the Father but by this way! This is the way of true Sacrifice. Sacrificing your will, your being , your mind, that which is highly esteemed by you. When Jesus said “ follow me .” He did not mean to just follow him around in the natural as many did . whom , He said. followed him for the loaves and fishes, yet their hearts were far from Him . He wanted man to follow him into a newness of life and learn of Him.

We Should Live by Inspiration
Natural and Spiritual; Living by inspiration--
We should live by inspiration--- as God moves through us, rather than by theory. If God moves, you should react to that move. The tendency is to try to harmonize with a theory that you grasp in your mind but, that is a way that seems right to man; which is what God said leads unto death.
I believe to save us from this : we have been lead, (to surrender to God without a mental reservation ) that would separate us from the natural and make us one in God, where we could be joined with our brother instead of being at odds with him over our theories.
May, God help us to know how to do this and enter into the very stream of God’s life.
All over this world people are making effort to harmonize with theories of religion.
Every group feels that their theory is the best or the correct one. What we need is to know how to enter into the very life of God, and live in that inspired life rather than to live in theory.
In every man there is a longing for perfection. This longing comes from God: to be made in His image and His likeness. But, we: being in the natural , do not understand and it causes us to think more highly of ourselves then we should and our spirit becomes miss guided by our own thinking and our effort is to judge ourselves among ourselves. Trying to become better than our brother or our neighbor, have the best house, have the best car, brag on our family, their looks, their education, their wealth, not being conscious that everything cometh from God and that we are of the earth most unworthy. Help us Lord to seek after thee.

A Stumbling Block or a Stepping Stone
A stumbling block or a stepping-stone?
DON'T THINK IN THE NATURAL--- Jesus went back to the Father and sent the Holy Ghost to lead us into righteousness and truth. More attention needs to be made to the Holy Spirit which is the dispensation in which we are in. Most of our so-called Christians; preach, talk, and sing about Jesus. We celebrate Christmas, Easter, and Good Friday.; Most religious stories are about Jesus. Even his very words are in red print so to draw attention to them. The New Testament was written it seems, by those who had seen him and touched him, so they drew from their experiences of the times for their writings and even though, the Holy Ghost over shadowed them, their writings where colored by their own intellect. (The holy Ghost overshadows many of us at times, but that dosen’t save us from sin: for we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God: meaning we lean to our own understandings.) It does not take anything away from Jesus for us to recognize things as they are. (which is that this is the Holy Ghost Dispensation) Jesus was our elder brother, he was a human man, tempted like as we, but one who did the will of God in all things. He is gone from our sight and our touch. He said he would send the Holy Ghost to become a part of us and to lead us into all Truth, into the spiritual realm.
It is hard for us to comprehend a spirit even tho we are a spirit. Is this a stumbling block or a stepping stone? It all depends on each one of us ? Do we have a spirit to learn of the spirit of God for understanding, or are we self sufficient in our own minds and draw from what seems right in our own eyes. Being satisfied with religion as it has been taught for years, leaves us floundering around in the workings of our minds, never learning of God ! Only as we will let religion go-- can we experience and learn of Salvation ! which comes by the Holy Ghost, The spirit of God.

Fullsalvationunion; the purpose and the name
FULL SALVATION UNION; The purpose and the name!
Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you. Genesis: 43: 3
God did not make man to live alone; He made him a helpmate and gave them a family. It was disobedience to God that brought sin into the heart of man. (Knowing what sin is might help you understand) Sin is any action, feeling. or thought, outside of the divine will and spirit of God. It is that same sin that turns brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor, children against parents, from one generation to another. Jesus was with out sin because he did always the will of God. He said, “ I do nothing of my self, the spirit of God within me, He doeth the work”. He said: how can you love God whom you have not seen, when you do not love your brother whom you have seen. Over and over again God relates our relationship with him as to each other. You think in your mind that heaven is a rosy place where you will see all your loved ones and know them as you have known them in this natural sinful world, You want to bring heaven down to your realm, But, you cannot: Heaven is a spiritual place where Gods spirit dwells. and ye shall not see his face unless your brother is with you or, meaning you and your brother must be made one in Christ to enter there. You can not enter in alone You must be made one with all those whom God has chosen, and God has chosen All to follow Him. In other words you must have a spirit of love, which denies self , which surrenders to God without a mental reservation. This cannot become a reality in the natural world . It takes a miracle from the spirit world to undo the sin , of taking our own way, that we have brought upon ourselves. God has said if we would humble ourselves and call on his name he would answer . You can not have full Salvation without union and you cannot have union without full salvation. (salvation is to be saved from everything that divides) only ” Full Salvation Union” can make you love your brother. Wither you murder him like Cain did, or you reject him because, he thinks different than you . it is the same thing. You send him into a hell of your own making because he won’t bow down to your dogma and understanding. When someone makes a statement against anything that you espose, that you think is fact or holy in your eyes, how quicky do you have a spirit to draw a sword and cut off his ear.

What is FULLSALVATIONUNION
What is “ FULL SALVATION UNION’
It is the Kingdom of God! IT is not a church, nor is it a religion. But it is s spiritual reality where ALL is subject to God, down to the minuet atom of the universe . All down through the history of the bible and before, God has tried to persuade man to surrender to his will.. From the garden of Eden where He laid down the law, “Of this tree you must not eat,” to “The ten commandments,” where: loving God was first and foremost, to the order in Egypt to “Let my people go“.
Because we did not obey, he ordered that man would work by the sweat of his brow for substance, and that women would bear children in pain. And that man would die!
He could not leave man in a realm of his own making and let him live forever. God was and is still the finale authority. Man has to learn that his way leads to nothing but trouble.
God then ordered that the earth would produce thistles and pestilents and that the very elements would be against us. For thousands maybe millions of years we have been leaning to and followering our own understanding which has divided us into every kind of issums and skisims ; where we kill our brother thinking we are doing the will of God. but, the scriptures say we are beating our swords into plowshears, and our spears into pruninghooks: for in due season; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore, and man will be made one with God and with each other.

The Kingdom of god revealed
"God wants to direct his own work" The voice of God spoke these words into the ear of E.A. Andrews for 6 months, where he found a listening and obedient servent. Rev. Andrews said in my hearing many times that it was like heavenly music and that it left as suddenly as it came. This was the grass roots of the organization called "Then Fullsalvation Union" It sprang from within his heart and he preached the message many times as the spirit gave him utterance sparing not the natural and carnel mind of man who had built up religions of their own making, claiming them to be of God, while denying the power of Him.
The spirit spoke through him in righteous indignation striping away the unrighteous clothing that hung on the minds and hearts of the religious world until he became an outcast in his own group. Preaching against their forms of religion that were not filled with the power of God. Leaning on and learning of God, he walked through life as a drunk man ( drunk with the spirit as on the day of penticost) This assembly of people flourished to several hundred who were hungry for a deeper walk with god. One man put it that he saw; as it were, God roll up his sleeves as to go to work spiritually, causing people to fall under His power in an effort to peel away what seemed right in their own eyes and surrender to Him wholly without a mental reservation of any kind. Did you know that you have reservations? Do you think that going to church or an assembly is inportant, or taking what is called the cacrements is inportant, or wearing plain clothes is inportant, or being what is called a good person is inportant, or keeping the comandments is inportant, or all the things we assoscatee with our form of religion as inportant? What is inportant is; to have a spirit to be able to say I do nothing of myself the Holy Spirit in me He doeth the works.
Oh did you know: that God is a spirit and those that worship him must worship him in Spirit and in truth, not in forms and ceromonies or the understandings of man. Every man the world over, leans to his own understanding, wither he accquired it from reading , having experences, listening to others , and being carefully taught. Think of all the different religions and people, yes people, in the world, each one leans to their own understanding, sets under his own vine and fig tree, that is why there is so much division in the churches, politics, schools, goverments, clubs, organizations; what ever is made up of people; We do not love our brother as ourselves if we can not be made one with him. How can God make his children one? which is his desire. Jesus prayed that they all may be made one as He, his father and the holy ghost are one. It is easy: just surrender to God without a mental reservation. God is not divided . Don't be so sure that you are right, be a little humble and look to God ,who knows the end from the begining and knows all truth. If each man could surrender to God they would automatically be made one. The fact that they are divided and are not one with their brother proves they are not right with god.

SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY
Spritual Authority could be a sub. title under Authority.
Authority was first, always, and foremost before time, earth and the natural was! Authority is God.
That authority that formed the earth and heavens, the beings and natural living creatures that exist or ever have existed. Any authority over substance, spirits , or any living thing was given by god, even the authority to crucify Christ which was given to the authorities at that time, was given by God.
In John19: begining with the 10th verse Pilate said "knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee," Jesus answered in the 11th verse, saying "Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: (Power over any situation is from auhority)
The heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build for me? Isaiah 66; 1. How can ye, being in the natural, build me a house when I am in the spirit. God is calling attention to a spiritual reality in Acts 7: 49-51, where he states "Hath not my hand made all these things? Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, (meaning you do not understand in spirit; you have not had the natural desires of the flesh cut away from the soul and spirit) ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. You might not think you resist the Holy Ghost , because you give yourself to religious thoughts and priciples which make a big show in this world and attract many but, how many of you yield to the Holy Spirit, or strive to know him in spirit, Knowing that we are bound to be wrong and unable to understand should not stop us from striving to approch the spirit; for it is in striving to enter in that we change and learn.
Man would rather hear with his natural ears the words that tickle his human understanding and build him up, thinking he is building gods house, which is only of clay. "Beyond the sacred page I seek thee, Lord; My spirit pants for thee, O living word!" not the dead letter but the living word. Let every soul be in subjection to the power of God (the Holy Ghost): There is no higher power then God.
Spiritual Authority is not understood by the natural man.
The scriptures state in John 4:24 that God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. For man to try in the natural to worship God in spirit and in truth is ( infinitium) with no sucess. Any time anyone puts his view of truth into conception of words understood by himself or another : he puts himself up as God! Only God knows truth ; and he will (as He will's) allow a slight glimmer of truth to shed it's rays into our soul and spirit in due season: and this to different individuals which some day will make up the whole, when the spiritual body will fit together without the sound of a hammer. If he revealed all to any one individual they would become exalted in themselves.
God is leading us away from formal worship, His desire is for each soul, the world over, to be lead by the spirit and to do his will. When Jesus left us and returned to heaven, he said, I needs go away for if I do not the Holy Ghost will not come, and when he comes He will lead you into all truth. That is the only way you can receive truth. On the day of pentecost when the deciples were of one accord ; God poured out the Holy Ghost on them and they were indued with power from on high. You should not study to get knowdge, you should study to show yourself approved unto God which is your reasonable service. If God accepts your offering of yourself he will pour out his spirit upon you in due time.
"Be still and know that I am God" Ps. 46:10 " Be still" is to quiet your mind, don't think more highly of your self then you should, and have your knowlege in knowing God in spirit .
