#PastorEd tells us how 'Jesus Going to Prepare a Place for Us' Ties into Jewish #Cohabitation Traditions | @Red_River_NM #FaithMountainFellowshipChurch

Pastor Ed (of Faith Mountain Fellowship Church) explains 'that connection' in a sermon you can access through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word “Cohabitation” is built on ancient words that mean "to Live-, |Inhabit-, Dwell-, frequently Have-, frequently Hold-, frequently |Possess-, Give-, Receive-With, -Together" (though Pastor Ed describes it (in Jewish Tradition) as the Completion of the Marriage Union, Cohabitation has been "the state of living together (as Husband and Wife) without the Benefit of Marriage' since the 1540s).

accessories for 'the Feast of Trumpets'

Maybe this isn't the sermon where he discusses 'our matrimony with Jesus,' but--in the above-hyperlinked sermon--Pastor Ed DOES discuss,
the 2022 Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets, starting at sundown on the 25th of September this year), marking the end of a Shmita-Cycle--a 7-year period--leading to a Jubilee year (something like 'the year after seven sevens'); 
The Problem? Sin, The Answer? Christ, not Deeds (the Good Deeds DO "Prove" Our Rebirth, but they spring from The Seed of Salvation that We Plant & Let Grow); "If You don't give things Attention, they will Rot Away,"

... and I (one of my Useful Demons) notices that this church doesn't 'deal with satan'---not directly, anyway ...

... but Pastor Ed goes on to say that our nation has been Eroding away (through Sin & Compromise), and we're GOING to "Build Back Better"; not like the Israelites--who thought they could do better WITHOUT God--but WITH God; God Builds with Stone Foundations; We (Christians) are the Living Stones God is using---parts of the Living Temple, Humble, Patient, Allowing each other's fruits, Bound Together with Peace, New Creations in Christ, Ruling & Reigning with Christ thru Reconciliation; 
Each of us is given a Gift to take out into the World---exactly the right Gift to be Effective & Powerful in the exact Place it is given: 
Leadership Gifts (of the Fivefold Ministry) 1. Apostles 2. Prophets 3. Evangelists 4. Pastors 5. Teachers ... Officers in the Ministry, or Disciples (Training to become Masters) of each of the Officers---all working to steer the World back on course with God's Will which is Good & Pleasing & Perfect; measuring ourselves by the Faith that God has given us ... 
Faith (under Tests) develops Perseverance, which builds Patience & Wisdom; Grace is not just Unmerited Favor, but God's Power to Accomplish the Call of Destiny He Assigned; 
a second set of Gifts (Gifts from The Father to The Church): 1. Prophesying 2. Serving 3. Teaching 4. Encouraging 5. Giving 6. Kindness; 


I know 'Prophecy' is given in all three sets of gifts, and 'Teaching' a couple times; but I think (Pastor Ed might explain in the video linked above) they're each used a little differently in each set. 

but yours isn't 'Your Gift' until you Take it (often by Using it)

Well, I guess he didn't get to the 'I go to prepare a place for you'-tradition until the next day ... he described how--in Jewish Tradition--the groom would go & build a house for his bride & himself, and would return to retrieve his bride WHEN HER FATHER DECIDED THEY WERE READY🧓🏽 

"measuring ourselves by the Faith that God has given us"---I have to stop there & insert "& not by the Faith that 'the World' gives us." That's the way I've been acting IRL--if I do nothing (IRL), then that is what the World expects of me (nothing); and no one wants to associate themselves with a do-nothing*---apparently 'writing several-thousand posts of this blog' counts as "nothing" ... I AM a Constant Narcissist, but I guess not Self-Loving enough to do all the necessary Self-Promotion to convince you (or myself 🙎🏽‍♂️) ...

*I am here reminded that I call Our Father God a 'do-nothing' (on account of--after creating all matter & potential-energy & the rules that govern them--all of the actions credited to Him were either indistinguishable from "luck" or were the efforts of heroes' aim to fulfill His Will);

I might defend my view here with the Triune God argument; Our Father God does do nothing (in the lower areas of this world, as He "art in Heaven"), but He is more than just 'Our Father'---He is also 'The Same Spirit that was in Jesus Christ & is Shared with All of Us.'

I think that's what "The Return of Christ" will be---The Same Spirit, in a Person in whom it is so manifested that it seems to flow naturally ...
