RECONCILIATION OF ALL THINGS

RECON

RECONCILIATION OF ALL THINGS

Have you ever had one of those days when you wake up expecting nothing but your everyday day to day, and then in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, everything changes.

This morning, as is my custom, I woke for another Daddy/Ethan day. My days off with my youngest son are so precious to me. He is just three. I spend these days doing about the same thing as the week before. We wake up, have breakfast together, see the boys and girl off to school, then the cleaning begins. We make the most of our days together by not just playing but by turning on the music and dancing as we do the dishes, vacuum the floors, fold the laundry and much more more before going out into the wild blue yonder.

There is lesson to be learned about how enjoyable life is when you turn your “work” into “play”.

I digress, instead of the usual Daddy/Ethan day, today was different.

Today, there would be a shift. Today, I needed to make room for this short essay, which is exactly what Ethan’s naps are for.

So, as I sat down briefly to finally enjoy my coffee, now lukewarm from sitting because I always find things to do for others rather then myself, this morning something remarkable happened. I was inspired.

I usually write my poetry at the gym while doing cardio, but after our cleaning party I always sit at my computer to drink said coffee and to check my emails before leaving the house to make sure that everyone who contacts me, I contact in return… (this can take time as you can imagine)… As I opened my inbox I saw a curious “TAG” from a Facebook friend, and reader of mine. I opened it immediately. It was another one of those beautiful gifts I receive quite often from people who have somehow been drawn to what I share… ENCOURAGEMENT!

I can’t really describe how grateful I am for the many people who share, and encourage others to see my work. It means so much to me and it really makes me feel like what I am doing is truly what I believe I am meant to do… which is, OF COURSE, to CHANGE THE WORLD! 🙂 A tall order for sure, but this essay will prove we can do ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST (POWER AND WISDOM OF LOVE, POWER AND TRUTH)

Her post read like this…

“Jacob Israel, wise beyond his years, words as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.”

I was then inspired to share a bit on this beautiful verse in Psalms… yet as I sat down to write THAT essay, I found myself writing another one all together… But for the sake of continuity I will briefly share what I see in these verses and somehow tie it all together to show you something quite profound.

This comment my friend shared was taken from Psalms 12. The passage she shared as a way of encouraging others, spoke volumes to me.

“words as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times”

For my words have also been forged in a furnace of earth… If earth be a man’s carnal ways and the furnace be a man’s affliction.

Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. Isaiah 48:10
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:9

HEAVEN = HIGHER THINKING
EARTH = CARNAL THINKING

“As the heavens are above the earth, so are my ways above carnal man’s”

Heaven is “Righteousness (right-thinking), Peace and Joy)
Earth is our lower thinking, it is DEATH, and not only will we all rise from it we all have been FORMED IN IT.

Our words are indeed formed by our experiences.

My words/thoughts over the years have indeed been forged within the difficulties I have faced in life. Of course, had I known all the good that would come out of such trials I probably would not have suffered the way I did.

Suffering is always a result of a person’s fear. We suffer when we believe what we endure is pointless, we suffer when we fear that we are somehow being punished, we suffer when we fear that nothing good will ever come of our lives, we suffer when we believe all we are meant to do is suffer…
WE SUFFER WHEN WE ARE IGNORANT to the fact that SOMETHING GLORIOUS IS BEING FORMED WITHIN OUR FURNACE OF EARTH (our ignorance/temporal experience).

Every seed must first DIE before it sprouts to life. Then after sprouting to life the seed creates many more exactly like it.

The same is true for us all. Our experiences are as a school and like every school there are many different types of students, many different levels of understanding, many different grades, and many different maturity levels.

So which type of person are you?

The answer to this is as easy as carrying a tape recorder around with you for 12 hours. The way you speak, the things you say, proclaim who you are each and every day.

Luke 6:45
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

From this we understand some words are a blessing and some are a curse… some words lift up, some tear down… yet all are formed in our experience, whether these words and thoughts be wise or foolish depends on the level and type of the “student”.

Now, in the long run, I believe the things we see today will change. As I have learned that it is better to love than hate, to have hope rather than fear, through a lifetime of learning from my “mistakes”, so to will those in this world.

THIS is the hope of Glory… CHRIST in YOU! But few know what CHRIST IS…. For years, I have shared, “Christ is THE POWER AND WISDOM OF GOD”

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 1 Corinthians 1:24

Now, let us reason for a moment together. If God be LOVE… as the scriptures state.

1 John 4:8
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

And God be SPIRIT…

John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

And SPIRIT are the THOUGHTS of a person, as Jesus stated… “My WORDS ARE SPIRIT, and they are TRUTH” then we understand that CHRIST (the power and wisdom of GOD) is actually one who has the POWER OF LOVE and TRUTH MANIFESTED IN THIS WORLD BY THE “WORDS” SPOKEN.

It is the TRUTH that sets a person free, and for the moment that TRUTH may be hard for everyone to see, but eventually ALL WILL!

Ephesians 4:13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

In the end, ALL WILL SING PRAISES TO GOD (LOVE, TRUTH, UNITY) as is written time and time again.

Revelation
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE will SPEAK blessings, and honor, and glory, and power because Love WILL BE RULING on the throne of their hearts!

2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Love and Truth will be our wisdom… Love and truth will be our power… And we will no longer judge, we will unite and love.

So let me briefly share, why I knew I had to write this short essay. You see, what my friend on Facebook did not know was that verse from PSALM 12 was a verse I had just been reading around the same time she shared it.

The short Psalm struck me so to the chord that I had to sing its meaning.

So let’s begin and then I will reveal something secret about me, this site, my novel, and everything that is “Jacob Israel.”

You see, Psalm 12 bears a striking resemblance to the day we are living in. This psalm I can relate to. For I have wondered, what is the point of it all, when it seems the whole world has gone astray. I have wondered whether my desire to reach people and change the world, was a foolish desire to begin with… Yet, if truth be told, I could never really accept that.

So let’s take a look…

Psalm 12
12 Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3 The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

Today, when we exalt VILE MEN AND WOMEN, we find wickedness everywhere… Look at this generation. Does it not exalt VILE BEHAVIOR?

I have recently, been working in an environment where I can truly see what is considered acceptable behavior today. Mocking each others, foul language, pranks, tearing down, vulgarity, and perversion everywhere. Honesty is frowned upon and suspect. Doing the right thing is seen as manipulation, etc and etc….

2 Timothy 3
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, …

Yeah, that about sums it up for us. Just the other day I found someone sharing a video of a tragic accident, millions had viewed this horrific events, and millions shared it … BECAUSE IT WAS FUNNY TO THEM HOW STUPID A PERSON COULD BE.

I am learning that there are few today who are real, few today you can trust, and few today who mean to do well for the sake of doing well, as opposed to gaining the world from it.

Like the Psalms, we see SO MANY PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT VAIN THINGS… Praising people to their faces, while tearing them down while their faces are turned. People flatter and talk with a double tongue for sure. The poor are oppressed, the needy do indeed sigh, and so I share this essay because I believe NOW IS THE TIME FOR IT ALL TO END.

DID YOU EVER NOTICE the words, “IN THE LAST DAYS…”?

Now, I am not about to get all spooky, left behindy on you… No, for the truth of what the rapture is, please watch the video I posted awhile ago, or read some more material I share on here for free.

No, I mean to say… these are the LAST DAYS WE WILL SEE SUCH IGNORANCE AND WICKEDNESS.

LIFE IS ABOUT TO SPROUT FROM THIS DEATH.

The words of TRUTH, LOVE, PEACE, AND HOPE are being purified within our experience, and from this experience we will see the desires of our hearts come to be… which is the RECONCILIATION OF ALL THINGS.

To reconcile something, means to “cause to coexist in harmony” — MEANING, EVERYTHING IS MEANT TO EXIST IN PERFECT HARMONY. This is the way it was and the way it will be again. We are all connected. What we do affects the whole, and what others do affects us.

It is the day one sees that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD. That we are ALL IMPORTANT parts of the whole. And so our trespasses will be forgiven in the day we forgive the trespasses of others. We will be loved when we LOVE!

WE AFFECT THE WHOLE, just as a single lit match can catch and consume everything around it, we as LIGHTS can LIGHT THIS WORLD AND SET IT FREE.

So the fact that I believe I am meant to change the world is not really such a fantasy. If truth be told, we all have an effect on the lives of those around us, we all have an effect on this world.

I can prove this…

If everyone chose to TRULY LOVE… there would be no war, no poverty, no lack, no shame, no fear, no harm done. However, for this to happen, it means ALL MUCH choose to love. So long as one is out of harmony with everyone and everything else, there is no unity.

So how can I believe such a thing? Is it arrogance to believe you are part of something greater than life in this death has tried to sell you? I think not… The question is not, “how can I believe such things?”, the questions is, “How can YOU not?”

We have seen time and time again how one man’s vision can change things… Steve Jobs, for example had a vision of world where technology would become an extension of humanity, he pictured people attached to their devices as they would be attached to a child… more so we see today.

You would hard pressed to walk through any metropolitan area and not see people attached to their devices connecting them to people all over the world in a moment’s time… This was science fiction just a couple of decades ago. It was something I am sure people who have told Mr. Jobs was a fantasy nothing more, unattainable, a dream… and yet STEVE JOBS BELIEVED AND RECEIVED his dream come true.

You see, Steve Jobs, ALSO BELIEVED ALL THINGS WERE POSSIBLE… He changed the world because of it.

Take a look at what he said in an interview many years before the world became the world it is today.

“When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money. That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people who were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.” Steve Jobs

Whatever a person believes they receive, whether that be the limited life Steve spoke of, or the broader life where you can influence EVERYTHING and EVERYONE…

I choose to believe, I can do ALL THINGS THROUGH “CHRIST” WHO STRENGTHENS ME! Philippians 4:13

Which, we now know means, “I can do all things through the power and wisdom of love and truth, which MAKES ME SUPER POWERFUL!”

You see, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE FOR THEM THAT BELIEVE! Mark 9:23

So, I was not joking when I said, it was my dream to reach and change the world. I have seen in my short life of almost 44 years that WITH FAITH NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE! Matthew 17:20 indeed.

Everything I have accomplished, everything that I have experienced, IS EVERYTHING I FIRST BELIEVED COULD BE!

Then after seeing it, envisioning it, I would proclaim it to be true. I would CALL THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS IF THEY WERE Romans 4:17 and they BECAME!

You see everything that I have said, up to this point, has come true in my life… exactly as how I believed and said it would.

When I told people I would see myself on the big screen, that I would have plays off-broadway, that I would write for the most popular cable TV show in history, that I would write and produce Christian TV, that I would create my own cartoon, write a book, start a revolution, host a radio show, get in shape… anything… When I told people that I would do this or that, within time, all of these and much, much more came to be…

Just as how I said I would show the world the lies of religion by becoming “Jacob Israel”, just as I said, I would BECOME JACOB ISRAEL to the world, which is now who YOU know me to be.

I believed, Jacob Israel, is who the world would know me to be, because I simply believed it first and then became it. Just as I believed from childhood that I would be sharing the “Mysteries of the Kingdom of God”, as I am doing now.

Think it not strange, that little old me has been in such key positions, to learn such things about these organizations… I was the head writer and producer for the one of the biggest Christian Television networks in history, and they knew I saw differently… And I left on my time, not theirs, and I have left with my many SPECKLED SHEEP, just as Jacob did in scripture.

So, it is not a lofty or conceited goal, to believe one is meant to change the world by writing a simple novel, that would then lead to a website offering hundreds of eye-opening insights to help wake people from the slumber of impotence and ignorance they find themselves in…. 😉 … Or is it?

Well let’s see…

If THE CALLING became a BEST SELLER RIGHT NOW… think about how many people would soon find the treasures hidden here at my website…

Think about it… Quite coincidental don’t you think?

Well, this was the dream. I saw all of this in my mind many, many years ago. I HOPED and had FAITH and eventually it all began to take shape out of simple imagination and faith. However, none of this would have been possible, had it not been the DESIRE IN MY HEART to do so.

It is GOD that gives you the desire of your heart, is it not? AND MUCH MORE WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT AND WHO GOD IS… (but who can truly?)

Romans 10:1
Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

I believed that “voice in my heart” (idea I had about who I was, am, and can be).

Yes, that is right, I am simply following my HEART. I am doing this because I believe without a shadow of a doubt that I AM MEANT TO BE DOING THIS… This is why, my novel is about a twelve-year-old boy who was born to change the world by writing a single book, which would wake up the world to the TRUTH OF WHO THEY REALLY ARE. (That was the plan!)

You see, for those that don’t know. My novel, THE CALLING is more than a simple tale. It is an allegory that is meant to trigger something inside the reader to get them to see that they are MORE. AND THAT THEY MUST LOVE!

I hid secret messages throughout this novel. Clues to a greater existence. For those with eyes to see, they would see, and for those without, the spirit of the story would heal their blind eyes, so they could as well. I actually proclaimed this right there IN THE CALLING…

“My book… is not a work of fiction, as some will say. It is a fiery truth cast into the sea of deception mankind calls life.” pg 18: The Calling by Jacob Israel

I also have a secret message to the reader, that they only they will find it they are inspired to take the time to string each chapter title together.

You see, my novel is meant to PROVE something. To prove that what I share here is true. Like Steve Jobs, I have a vision. I also wrote a “prophesy”, if you will, in “The Calling” that if, my desire came true, it would prove WITHIN EACH OF US… IS THE ABILITY TO DO ALL THINGS….

EVEN CHANGE THE WORLD BY RISING FROM OBSCURITY AND SHARING A MESSAGE OF LOVE AND TRUTH TO ALL!

Like an author, and finisher of faith… I will have become, when all of it comes true, the very thing I set out to become. Sort of like, I wrote the story of my life in my mind, shared that story outwardly and enjoyed the right as that story became true.

Wouldn’t that be something if it did?

Truth be told, it already is. And the time has never been better than before.

Picture this, and see what I have been seeing for years….

If “The Calling, The Book Of Thomas James” becomes the best seller I believe it will, and also proclaimed it to be years ago in the actual novel, do you think it odd that this resource, my Website, is available for free, for everyone?

People put stock in the words of celebrity. If The Calling became an international hit, think of how many would then find this resource. Think of the FIRESTORM that would set off?

That would be something indeed. Wouldn’t it be amazing, if it woke the world up to the understanding that we are all connected, and that what we do to others we do to ourselves…

ULTIMATELY, meaning, IF WE LOVE EVERYONE TRULY… EVERYONE WILL TRULY LOVE!

You see, it is all about the timing of a thing. There is a time to sow, and a time to reap. And now, I believe the HARVEST IS HERE!

Each day, I find more and more people becoming interested in the things I share here freely. I find more and more on-line declaring, “I AM THAT I AM!” and while the sound of this should fill one, who has been declaring similar for years, with profound joy, it does not.

Because, the world has not changed, and the message is not yet clear. WE DON’T KNOW IT ALL …. YET!

The TRUTH IS COMING… but I must say to many of you out there, we yet see through a glass DARKLY… MEANING, we haven’t seen anything completely YET! But when we do, we will KNOW AS WE ARE KNOWN… This means, we will KNOW WHO WE REALLY ARE… and we will see that we ALL ARE ONE IN WORD AND DEED.

So, don’t ignore that desire in your heart, if that desire be the reconciliation of the world. Embrace it, proclaim it, and fear not because the day of your salvation is here!

WRITE YOUR STORY… IT HAS A HAPPY ENDING!

No Gods Before Me

Jacob Israel7 Comments

NO GODS BEFORE ME!

There was a time when I was scared. There was a time when I felt powerless in this world. A time when I did not think life was worth living at all.

I made the mistake of thinking, it was all about me. Woe ways me, in fact, I would say and on cue every cloud would turn grey. I was a child in my ignorance then. But like any child, I would grow in spirit, wisdom and strength.

But until that time, like any child, when things went bad I wondered, “Why God?”, and worse still, “Why Me?”, which is the worst thought a person can have.

Because when you don’t believe things should be happening the way they are to you then you have forgotten ( died to knowledge of ) that all things were created for you, and more importantly, BY YOU!

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Col 1:16,17.

The scriptures express our divinity clearly, “ye are gods but you shall die as mere men”… This passage from psalms I opened my novel with.

In fact, my entire novel is allegory for us all to WAKE UP to the truth of who we really are.

Because when we came into this world, an enemy (the lies we hear) planted tares within us and because of this we began to believe we were something we were not.

This CARNAL EGO of as I like to call him, the first idea of who we are,
we die to who we really are and a life of struggle and sadness follows .

To understand this helps us as we walk through this valley of the shadow of death to FEAR NO EVIL… For truly there is no such thing.

There was a time that I was so ignorant and so lost into the “GOD OUTSIDE OF ME” delusion that I was like those children at play Jesus spoke of in scripture…

Luke 7:32
They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace (RELIGION) and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

Like those children I had ignorantly been convinced that somehow God and I were separate.

I put my faith in this far away God. I feared this far away God. And not only that, I sacrificed for this God.

I even dropped everything and left a rising and super successful career in Television for this God that I had been brainwashed to serve. But not just this “Father God” the pastor and priests had told me about, I also believed in his son a man named Jesus who I was told died for me, who I was told was the only way to know God (or so I was told). So I also put this son before even this almighty God I had been convinced of.

Ignorantly I also wore crosses, had paintings of this Jesus God, and I really believed. I really believed all the people I trusted to tell me the truth about God, like most do so I never questioned, like most do as children at play. Until, the day the lights were turned on for me and I began to see how wrong I had been. And how amazing the truth really was.

The commandments themselves begin with not just a warning of what might happen if we have GODS other than the TRUTH, but promises that one day even the most lost WILL NOT HAVE GODS BEFORE ME…


Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

By the end of this essay you will understand that you have many “gods” in this world and the biggest of which is the person you ignorantly believe yourself to be.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

So much for all those images of fish on car bumpers, crosses on chains, and paintings, statues, and idols of the man Jesus everywhere.

However, this is just the most obvious god we have before the truth. There are many, many more. Everything we put our faith in and serve, from our ego to the almighty dollar is a god we serve.

You see we have all been convinced to worship and serve the creation, not the creator. The scripture teaches us NO ONE has seen God at any time, just as NO ONE can see the THOUGHT within ones mind. The scriptures teach us that God is NOT a Man that he should lie, or the son of man that he should repent, and yet almost every religion teaches us to worship a god who is created in the image of man, instead of embracing the fact that GOD is within everyone and everything, and creates everyone and everything seen and unseen through us.

You will soon see we are given the name (nature of God) and we, like
Jesus should not think that is something that is blasphemous. In fact, we are commanded to NOT take this NAME in Vain… Which means “for nothing” – this command has nothing to do with swearing, but everything to do with giving other gods YOUR worship.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (Exodus 20:3-5, 7 KJV)

Let me begin to explain how I was when I was younger. I was not the happiest or most hopeful child, so I began to look for answers. I went to religions tree and swallowed its fruit daily, which actually made things harder for me… (I see this now, but back then I clothed myself with religious pride which made me feel better than others, who did not do what I did (confess Jesus as lord), even though deep down I knew it was wrong to think such. So many of these false beliefs (gods) I deep down I knew was more damaging than good.

This God they taught me to believe in was more like wicked mankind then anything else.

This God demanded follow without question and would punish you unjustly if you did not.

This God was so far away from me and so darn upset with the person that I had become. That I could NEVER earn a place in his kingdom. Back then I believed I had to worship the son he murdered for
Me so I would not burn endlessly.

This is a perverse thing to believe and there is grea

And so I worked the ground of my life in constant misery like Adam after being cast from paradise.

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; (Genesis 3:17 KJV)

This great allegory is what happens the day we leave the truth of who we are for the idea of what we have been convinced we are, which is something we are not.

Cursed was the ground for ADAM’S sake… Now, we are NOT talking about the literal ground or earth beneath us. The GROUND is an allegory of Adam’s day to day life in the “first man.” Symbolic of his WORKS on this earth. You see, because of our mistaken identity our life in this world is cursed to bring only sorrow. Truly, if it did not Adam, and WE, would never change.

“Through much tribulation we enter the Kingdom.”

How true this is for us all.

Now why is the ground of our life cursed?

The reason is simple.

Like Adam, in the story, we too left the unity of the spirit and followed after EVE (which is the mother of all living, our intellect). Like Adam we swallowed the FRUIT our intellect gave us to eat. Exampled below…

“This is right, this is wrong, you are this, you are that, cant do this, must do that”

This is the cursed TREE of the Knowledge or Good and Evil, whose bastard child is double minded mankind. This is the TREE (branches of thought) that when we become one with this way of thinking (eat its fruit) we DIE (become ignorant) and this is how it happens.

The serpent (the lies we hear since birth) convinces us we can be LIKE God IF, and only IF we eat of this tree…. “You have to do this or that… Or else!”

Now, when you EAT (consume fully what you are presented) you ultimately DIGEST what you have been given to “eat”, and when this happens… You become ONE with it.

That FRUIT becomes you.

So if you eat the fruit of a liars tree, and you take the lies of this world hook, like, and sinker, to heart and you become the lie. The end result of this unholy union is YOU DIE (become ignorant of who you are and what you are capable of) and that brings on a world of hurt for you.

This is why, I once thought a life in this world was a grievous thing. I simply did not know any better. I KILLED the truth within me at the place of the skull (my mind) and yet, the TRUTH of LOVE did not care, because who we really are, knows who we think we are simply KNOWS NOTHING AT ALL!

And how is the TRUTH put to death within us?

Well, as babies our parents told us who we were, who they decided we were to be… “You are Jacob” or so and so. Next they formed us into who THEY were trying to create us to be. They did this ignorantly of course. Blind leading the blind.

You see the first idea of who we are, does not realize that we create our fears as easily as our hopes. Whatever mind set we nourish takes root. And until this CURSE is broken, it is past down from generation to generation.

Parents brain wash their children and make them twice the child of hell they are themselves. They give the baby a name, teach it to fit in and believe everything they, the ignorant parents say and believe, and one day that perfect baby believes it.

Next, the world gets a hold of that baby and convinces them other horrible things are true, that simply are not. And this process never ends, until we end it.

And so, that perfect baby, who was filled with nothing but infinite possibility and potential embraces fear, which has torment in it. The baby then becomes the child and man or woman that believes them self to be only the image of a corruptible, mortal, weak human being.

The baby is cast out of his or her blissful peace and catapulted into a world of idolatry.

In the first idea of who we are we all have gods we serve and not all of them go by holy names. We are ruled by these gods we ignorantly worship, we fear these gods, dedicate our life to these gods and are slaves to these gods.

And yet, creation was always meant to be under our foot, creation was meant to serve us and yet we have been brainwashed to serve and worship it.

However, the day will come and for some it has come already where even the idea of ourselves is put under the only one that truly exists to begin with… So that GOD (LOVE) may be ALL in ALL.

That is the day we are patiently waiting for. The EARNEST EXPECTATION of the Manifestation of the sons of God. The entrance into the SECOND MAN, who is LORD of all, with the death of the firstborn man, who is earthy and carnal and lost.

The death of the first born of this world is pictured in the plagues of Egypt as well as many others. Because we are nothing but slaves of Pharoah (which is our shame according to scripture) until that first born of all in this world dies.

There was a time, for me, that life was extremely hard, until the first born was put on notice, and that first idea of me, I realized, was NOT ME AT ALL.

There is no joy or peace in the first man. No matter how hard we try, if we are still in that first cursed man, Adam (which most are), then no matter how hard we try to produce a great life we will always struggle and suffer. Just as Adam did. No matter how hard we work, no fruit worthy of the kingdom will be produced, because it will be a vain, idolatrous pursuit of ego.

Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. (Genesis 3:17-19 KJV)

From the DUST (lies and idolatry according to scripture) the first ego man comes and to the DUST this adversary returns.

There was a time when I was ignorant. A time when I was blind and did not see the truth. This is pictured in the many stories of deaf, dumb, lame, and blind people Jesus (the truth) heals in scripture.

In the first man we all DIE to the truth of who we are and we begin to put many gods before us, in the second man we live again in the truth knowing we and God are in fact ONE!

When leave the hellish ignorance of the first man. (1st idea of who we are) for the 2nd man we are put back into our RIGHT mindset, which understands that there IS NO GOD BEFORE US for we are BEFORE the idea of who we are.

Scripture tells us that we are to have the same mind as Christ, who thought it not robbery to be equal with God, which means to have the the mind of Christ is to know you and God are one in the same.

But that time my friends is over.

If you haven’t caught on by now, scripture tells us that the 1st man is the natural man, and the 2nd man is from heaven above.

Now this is a mystery that I have written extensively about.

These are the two men in one bed, the two women grinding at the wheel, these are in fact the two MINDS within us all.

The first man is convinced he is mortal, self absorbed, weak, and ignorant. The first man is FORMED out of the dust (dead flesh/carnal imagination) of the earth (man’s soul). That first NATURAL man is the YOU you THINK you are but are not.

The first man is of the EARTH (temporal/ignorant/ego centric) EARTHY (mortal/finite) – but the SECOND MAN (the second you) is SPIRITUAL (infinite, empowered, loving, united, eternal, with no beginning and end).

You see there was a time I suffered, because I was ruled by that first man. As I said, the first man is NOT the spiritual one, the godly one, no, it is the natural one. Hopefully now, this will help you to understand the following passages from 1st Corinthians…


“Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.”

Now we have been tricked into believing that this second man from Heaven is Jesus only. Oh what a mistake that is.

Jesus clearly taught us, “as he is so are we in this world”. He is a symbol, called the first born among many brethren. If this be literal, then we should know that we and Jesus are exactly alike. As you and I are exactly alike.

I am no better than you, Jesus is no better than me. The difference being, Jesus perhaps understood who he was before everyone else, which symbolically places him in that older brother role for those younger, more inexperienced, and ignorant siblings to learn from.

No, this verse which speaks of the first and last man (Adam), is directly linked to you, me and everyone.

Within each of us there are two nations at war. Two MINDS fighting for control.

And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. (Genesis 25:23 KJV)

The LAST shall be FIRST. The ELDER (Older) shall serve the YOUNGER. The last MIND (spiritual YOU) shall take pre eminence over the FIRST (natural YOU)…. Because ULTIMATELY, there shall be no GODS before the I AM that is really you.

Now, of course the older, more comfortable, EGO is what we are used to. And this carnal idea of who we are will fight to the death and even convince you to do horrible things before admitting, who you think you are, what you believe, and everything you have put your faith in is a lie.

No one wants the NEW WINE! Which is why the VESSEL that contains the wine in the parable shatters when New Wine enters it.

The TRUTH is bigger than the VESSEL.

This LORD (which literally means, THE EXISTING ONE) of HOSTS, is the SPIRIT OF TRUTH and LOVE that is WHO we all are, the HOST is who we think we are… And this vessel MUST be destroyed before the TRUTH rises from it’s ignorant death (the life of suffering we endured).

Ignorant before the cross, Enlightened after it. Natural first then that which is spiritual. This is good news for us all, because we all will RISE from the death of our first concept of who we might be.

Pictured beautifully in the words written by John, “and the WORD (thought, spirit, logic, creation) BECAME flesh and DWELT AMONG us.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (John 1:14 KJV)

This is speaking of the day the TRUTH is revealed to you, birthed from within you. The day the SECOND MAN (which is the real you) steps out to say… HERE I AM LORD!

And we CAN’T LOSE!

“All will come to the knowledge of the truth and the stature of the perfect man!”

The good news is, as we have borne the image of that suffering, sad, lost, first man, we shall also bear the image of the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON of GOD. Which is a poetic way of saying, who you were in the first IDEA of you was an earthy, natural man… But your second IDEA of who you are (the second man) is GODS ONLY BEGOTTEN… God manifested in the flesh. One with God. God in you, as you, in this world. And then the two natures become ONE.

This was Jesus’ prayer, and it is now my prayer…

That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. (John 17:21 KJV)

This is the HOPE of GLORY, and why it is important to understand this mystery.

AS LONG AS YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE YOUR EGO you will have GODS before the TRUTH… And you will never know who you are or I AM.

The first you, the earthy you, is going to suffer and feel week and powerless to change things. But we must remember, this will not be forever. Because the second you, which is the spiritual manifestation of who you REALLY are in this world is waiting to be BORN AGAIN.

“And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.”

The kingdom of God that everyone has convinced you is some golden paved paradise in the sky, is actually “righteousness, peace and joy”. It is ruling and reigning in unison with the spirit of truth and love that is within you, and that IS you.

The word KINGDOM literally translates into “to rule” and God is LOVE.

So the mystery of the Kingdom of God is being ruled by Love and ruling WITH love. Yet, the natural first man cannot receive this.

Because to the natural man to love unconditionally is foolishness to them. So the message of this essay, the things I am about to share, and have shared, for some, they won’t believe it, or receive it… They can’t.

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

The natural man, which I have also called the carnal man, or the ID, or the enemy and the devil is corrupt, and it sees itself this way.

This is why there was a time when I was miserable and worshiped
many of the false gods religion, tradition, and society trained me to worship.

So, just like some of you, I too have been ruled by heartache and pain. But I was set free from it all.

I, like Paul, was SET on the road that was straight and put back into my right mind… And now I too have become that voice in the wilderness trying to make the paths of others in this world, straight and narrow, so they too may enter in and SIN (think foolishly) no more.

For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. (Matthew 3:3 KJV)

So, be of good cheer my friends, because in an instant, in the twinkling of your eye, you will see the mystery and you shall wake up and be changed into the one you were destined to be… THE ONE THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN YOU AND ME! And in that instant you will take hold of that cross and breathe in the possibility, that YOU ARE THAT GREAT I AM and you will be whoever you want to be… Because in that moment you become free. And you rise out of the death that has become of your life, waking up from your monotonous ignorant sleep as if a loud trumpet had sounded.

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1 Corinthians 15:46-52 KJV)

So the time of my idolatry and suffering is over. And yes, it took time to get there. And yes, it isn’t easy or pleasant. In the first man nothing is easy or pleasant but it is through our tribulation that we finally enter in.

There was a time when life was very difficult, but no longer.

It is because of all of my sufferings, all of my pain and disappointment that prompted that SEED WITHIN ME to WAKE UP. It was because I could take it no longer, that I realized I never needed to take it to begin with.

I had been tricked. The TRUTH of who I was which I traded for the lies of who I began to believe myself to be, brought only suffering for ME! And so my suffering and hard times had to be.

The kingdom of lies called my ego had become a stronghold, a prison, secured tight. So only through the demolition of this ignorant palace could the joy I have now be found.

One day, you too will know that every bit of heartache and heartbreak paves the way for the LIFE you were born to live. And yes, it can hurt to get there.

Acts 14:22
Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God

Such is the tale of fallen humanity. And what was it we fell from? Truth, Love, Purpose, Unity, and Joy. But as the scriptures state, he that ascends to heaven is he that first descended into the lowest pits of hell.

If you have ears to hear this… In order to be exalted, one must first be abased.

And so our FALL proves essential to our RISING ONCE AGAIN.

And it is TIME TO RISE AGAIN my friends!

For out of all my suffering, out of all my heartache and pain I found joy unspeakable, faith unshakeable, and a vision of how truly awesome this experience called life can be, is, and always has been.

For out of that darkness came light, out of the abandonment and abuse came unity, kindness, and strength. Out of the ignorance that had become of my life came a wisdom so great that against the better judgment of most trapped in this world, I had to share it with everyone…

This is proven in the fact that you are reading my essay here today.

When one has finally found the LIGHT, one does not hide it under a barrel.

And once, these “mysteries of the Kingdom of God” which is right thinking, peace, and joy, came to “LIGHT” within me I knew what had been hidden could be hidden no more!

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. (Luke 8:17 KJV)

It’s harvest time people. The SEED is come to life, and it’s fruit, which is love, joy, peace and more has no law to put it to death. Once alive again, nothing can put this

This joy I now have, this love I now feel, this peace that embraces me, this goodness that leads me, this FRUIT is evidence that NOW is the TIME TO HAVE NO GODS BEFORE ME!

Now is the time to put that SICKLE in! Now is the time to CAST YOUR NET on the RIGHT side!

Joel 3:13
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

People are so very lost today. Every moment, or every day seems a grievous thing. This is how it was for me as well. For that is the DEATH that has become of our lives. But I tell you rejoice, for that SECOND MAN within you and me, that great treasure hidden in the field of your life, is going to burst forth and with it, salvation comes.

The truth has been hidden…

Proverbs 25:2
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

And now that you are searching out what matters the truth is revealed.

Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

You are dead in Adam and you are alive in Christ…

Ye are gods… Arise oh god and judge the nations by having no GOD before the TRUTH of LOVE and the only one who really exists… YOU!

Today The Foundations Shake

Jacob Israel9 Comments

20140407-194803.jpg
SHAKE THE FOUNDATIONS!

It always amazes me how inspiration works. In the morning, I had seen a simple Gandhi quote in a mass email I was sent. This quote lit a fire in me and quickly I began to share the essay this quote seemed to have conceived. The end result is a fascinating, eye opening, and life changing essay that will, as the title boasts, shake the very foundation of everything you may believe to be true, while also setting the captives of this world system free.

Here is the quote…

“My ambition is no less than to convert the British people through nonviolence, and thus make them see the wrong they have done to India.”

“With this salt I am shaking the foundation of the [British] Empire!”

You see Gandhi was a foundation shaker. He was a world changer, and so are you. This essay is meant to remind us of this fact. So let us begin, shall we?


“Today, I shake the foundations of the nations,” these are the words that Gandhi, and I, on this day do say.

So, what do these words mean? What did Gandhi mean when he said many years ago in history, that “today I shake the very foundations of the British Empire?”

Well, what he meant was, the foundation that the British Empire was built upon, was not sound. It was not solid because it was not built on truth or love but lies. Gandhi knew he could shake any foundation built on violence with non-violence.

Gandhi knew that love was the axe that was raised for the root of lies in the world. Love was the very thing that would shake the treacherous nation out of its hellish ignorance, releasing his people from its oppressive control.

Gandhi knew that the foundation the corrupt British Empire was built on was as earth that lays on a fault line.

Love would be the earthquake that would bring all of man’s wicked ways down.

Love IS the great earthquake that shakes the shackles of the world away and sets the captives free!

And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. (Acts 16:26 KJV)

Let’s consider for a moment what a “foundation” is.

Webster defines a foundation as, “an underlying basis or principle for something.”

The foundation of anything is the very first thing put down, which then is build upon. The foundation is key because it is support of everything else. If the foundation is not sound it will not stand for long.

In scripture a solid, GOOD foundation is one that is built on God, which is love and truth and spirit (thought).

Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. (1 Timothy 6:19 KJV)

This foundation of God and Christ is the truth of everything. And only upon this foundation will things continue to stand. Anything that is not built on the foundation of love, truth, spirit (right thinking) will perish and be destroyed.

A poor foundation of lies is easily shaken with WORDS of TRUTH and LIFE. Gandhi knew this. Which is why he showed the world with salt the error of the British Empire.

We know that whatever is bound in heaven is bound in earth, loosed in heaven is loosed in earth, as within so without, as above so below… So, while a poor foundation in literal terms means collapse of what stands above it eventually, so in spiritual terms any foundation that is not built with love and truth, as stated earlier, will not stand for long.

So, if there is no truth, if there is no love, hope, faith, peace or joy, then there is no true foundation for the kingdom of heaven to be built upon. And of there is not true foundation then what is built upon it is corrupt and abominable in every way.

Why do you think the beast of revelation ascends (rises) out of the BOTTOMLESS PIT… A bottomless pit has no foundation.

Can you see this? Can you see that a LIE has no foundation? And if there is nothing to hold this lie up, when the wind of truth comes it will be blown away.

This LIE is the beast/animal nature/carnal man that ascends out of this bottomless pit of lies and indoctrination.

This beast, this carnal system that arose out of the lies and corruption of this world, religion and politics, etc… will be destroyed when the TRUTH is spoken.

This bottomless pit of deceptive beliefs has no leg to stand on, so love will always make it fall.

Our carnal nature, our ID, our ignorant beliefs about ourselves arose out of this bottomless pit. Our fears, hang ups, shame, regrets, doubts, worries, anxieties, all came from nothing and to nothing they will return when the truth is shouted from the rooftops.

Our illusion has become our enemy and it was formed out of the lies/dust of the earth and every name/nature not written in the book of truth (which is our foundation) will be destroyed! Just as Gandhi knew the foundations of the corrupt British empire would be destroyed.

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (Revelation 17:8 KJV)

So we see the foundation upon which OUR LIVES are built is very important. Because if it is built on lies our house will fall as if built on sand.

But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. (Luke 6:49 KJV)

This is why Jesus said that a house built on sand will not last. A house must be built on a solid foundation. Because if the foundation of that building is not solid. If the foundation of that building is not pure, if it is weak. If it is not built on truth but lies, then it will be easily shaken and broken down.

This is the way of the world today my friends.

Babylon, that harlot city, that allegorical place in scripture that literally means, “confusion with mixture”, is the system that we can now say, IS FALLEN, IS FALLEN!

Babylon is a place built on the foundational lies of the carnal ego of man

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. (Revelation 18:2 KJV)

There is no truth in this place. This world has become the habitation of devils/liars, and the hold of every foul spirit (foolish thought), and the birds/messengers are unclean and hateful!

CAN YOU SEE that this Babylon has been the dwelling place of you and me?

We have been under the rule of it. We were born into it. We, like Jesus took upon the sins/lies/cares of this world and died to who we were.

We, like Jesus have been sent to this hell to deliver the captives here free. So it is time for us to do some shaking!

Like Gandhi, our native and God given land (eden) was stolen from us, with deceit and violence and the violent have taken this kingdom by force… UNTIL NOW!


And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. (Matthew 11:12 KJV)

This corrupt system has sowed lies/tares into the hearts of all men.
Corrupt, ignorant men then indoctrinated generations with these same lies, which is why they say, “education is the foundation upon which knowledge is built”. But what happens when the education that is forced on all is controlled by wicked men? What happens when the tragedies and horrors of history are rewritten to keep future generations enslaved by greed, lust, and poverty? Well, the foundation cannot stand for long.
Gandhi knew this, as do I.

And with each day the indoctrination continues. Dumbing down the kings and queens of heaven until they act and live like comatose slaves!

Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; (Galatians 4:1 KJV)

So when Gandhi saw his brothers and sisters in bondage, abused, used, beaten, taxed, and worse, he knew he could bring it all down with faith, with love and with truth! Just as we can change our lives from miserable bondage to a life of liberty and peace. All it takes is faith, love, and truth!

You see the foundation the British Empire was built on was not pure or and righteous in Gandhi eyes. Gandhi saw an empire built on terror, pride, greed, war, blood, and lies. Gandhi knew that this foundation could not stand, because it was not built on love and truth.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. (Psalms 82:5 KJV)

Gandhi knew that it wasn’t a clenched first that would topple a corrupt nation, he knew only words of love could do this. As a skilled lawyer of the world, Gandhi knew of the power of words. He knew the principle of reaping and sowing, he believed in Karmic law more than a majority of creation.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (Galatians 6:7 KJV)

He knew that if you plant hate you only get hate in return. And since the foundation of the corrupt British empire was built on hate, lies, terror, and greed… he knew only love could change this.

Other great men shared this philosophy, which is why Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s name will also continue long after he died.

So Gandhi sowed Love, Acceptance, Tolerance, and Justice, on such a scale that everyone on this planet will forever remember his name.

Gandhi, knew, as Jesus knew, as many other spiritual shepherds have known, and that is that the keys to paradise are sacrifice and love.

Those whose eyes have been opened from the slumber of ignorance know that words have power and that light defeats darkness, humility defeats pride, love defeats hate, and all one needs to do to rebuild an empire is to speak it into existence with love and truth!

Gandhi knew that whatever a man believed he would receive, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses a new kingdom could be established.

In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. (2 Corinthians 13:1 KJV)

AND HE WAS RIGHT!

Look at what men of faith have been able to do throughout history. Look at what faith has done, it has toppled oppressive regimes, it has overcome persecution, it has built technology the likes of the gods, it has cured the ills of the world, it has fed the hungry, sheltered the homeless and more.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:1-3 KJV)

Did you catch that? Through FAITH we understand that the WORLDS were created by the WORD of God… And WE are the WORD of God! We are LIVING EPISTLES, our lives are our ministry and the WISE understand that an IDEA, which is not seen, creates everything that is.

Imagination is the key to creation, coupled with the truth of who you are and love.

Gandhi understood what I understand, what I hope this article will help you to understand and that is….

WITH FAITH ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

Gandhi knew that faith in action is the key to creation. This is why when he said, “with this salt I shake the foundations of the British Empire”, he knew his WORDS and ACTIONS were the very SWORD that would slay the evil beast hiding within every wicked man.

Gandhi knew his words/sword of love were seeds that would not return void.

We know that the power or life and death is in the tongue. That the tongue is small but like the rudder of a ship steers our lives in the direction we speak.

We also know that only words of TRUTH will stand the test of time and that LIES are for but a moment.

The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. (Proverbs 12:19 KJV)

The words/sword we speak can both give life and take it. The words/sword that we speak can be blessing on our lives and future generations or a curse. The words/sword that we speak cut both ways.

And WORDS of TRUTH are what will shake the foundations of the nations built on lies. Which is why now, more than ever, this message must be heard.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 KJV)

You see words can be used to do all things both evil and good. This sword can indeed cut both ways. Your faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the WORDS spoken to you.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17 KJV)

And if you believe the wrongs words, if you believe lies that are spoken over you in your life you then have faith these things are true and you are possessed by these lies and they become your reality. This however, would not be a pure and solid foundation! And it can be torn down and rebuilt if instead of believing these lies YOU REPENT (change your words and thoughts).

For example, if you believe you will never get ahead, you won’t. And just as your belief can make this so, if you believe you can turn it all around you will.

If you believe you will topple a corrupt empire like Gandhi did, YOU WILL!

The scriptures teach us with faith NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO YOU!

Now, let that sink in for a moment.

What if this is true? If it is, it must mean that everything is the way it is in the world because NO ONE HAS DECIDED TO CHANGE IT…

Isn’t it time to change things? Isn’t it time to shake the foundations of the nations and wake the world back up?

Gandhi was one man and look what he accomplished with faith and compassion? Could you imagine what would happen if there were more men like Gandhi today? Could you imagine what together they would accomplish?

Well, there are. And greater things than these we shall do with faith!

Jesus, The Anti-Christ, And Fruit

Jesus, The Anti-Christ, And Fruit

Recently, on other social networking sites, like facebook, youtube, etc, I have been sharing powerful mini-versions of essays I have written in the past on topics that are very timely. I thought that I should share three of these with all of you, because within them you very well may find the truth of who you really are. If you have read them already, please do read on here as I have added much to them and wonderful things were revealed in the process.

If you are new to my website, or have been here before, you know that my work is dedicated to revealing the SPIRIT of the scriptures. Because it is given to us to know the “mysteries of the Kingdom of God” and unto those “without recollection of the truth” ALL THINGS ARE DONE IN PARABLE! So, my work and my passion is sharing the hidden meaning of these mysteries written long ago.

It is the SPIRIT of these stories that gives us life, just as it is the SPIRIT within us all that IS OUR LIFE, which IS also what I dare to share with all of you as often as I can.

If you don’t know this already, I have well over one hundred critical essays I have written over the years on various topics that are available here for all of you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and at no cost to you ever.

I put in countless hours, and pay for these sites, as well as their maintenance, because I know these WORDS WILL NOT RETURN VOID! They will accomplish what I sent them out into this world to do…

TO SET AT LIBERTY THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING IN THE HELL THAT HAS BECOME OF THEIR LIFE!

My friends, it is the TRUTH that sets a person free… the TRUTH! The problem is, each and every one of us has been delivered a well dressed lie instead.

The naked truth is far more valuable than a well dressed lie, however, the world has taught us all entertainment is far greater than content, drama is more exciting than peace, and the latest religious/fashion craze is always better than what you came into the world with (WHO YOU ARE) and became ashamed of.

So in my effort to continue to share with all of you, I have but one favor to ask. PLEASE SHARE MY SITE WITH OTHERS. Encourage people to come here and explore some of the things found here. It is my belief and hope that this year we will reach more people than ever before. CHANGE IS HERE! THE DAY WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR HAS ARRIVED!

There is no need to WAIT any longer… Don’t make Martha’s mistake.

John 11
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus SAID unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth IN me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

BY THE END OF THIS ESSAY you may just SEE that you have been living a life of death, and you, like Lazarus, will rise from your grave of ignorance and LIVE! Or, you will be like Jesus telling others to stop putting their faith in the future AND their worries in the past. YOUR WORDS, like Jesus’ words they may just believe. And if they BELIEVE IN YOU, if they BELIEVE the words WITHIN YOU, as they did with Jesus, then THEY TOO WILL RISE AND TRULY LIVE THEIR LIFE!

Together we can truly live our lives and change this world. It is the TRUTH that sets us free, so freely we must share it. So please do share and subscribe if you haven’t already… In the mean time, please do enjoy these three short teachings.

TEACHING 1:
BY THEIR FRUITS

When it comes to knowing a person’s heart, scripture states that we are to judge others by their fruit. Fruit is known for the seed it produces. The fruit of something is it’s seed and it’s seed, or offspring, will always produce THE FRUIT it came from.

For example, an apple seed gives birth to an apple, an orange to an orange, the seed of a dog becomes a dog, the seed of a human will become human… and the seed of God is God. The same was in the beginning with everything, if you have “ears to hear that”.

Whatever is within us we bring forth and cast out into the world. This is our seed, and when our seed, whether it be words or deeds is cast into the world it will produce what it was sent into the world to do.

If you speak words of hate or express hate, hate will be felt. If you speak words of love or express love, love will be felt. Both love and hate are seeds, and both of these seeds produce fruit, whether it is anger and loathing or peace and joy.

This is why we so often are taught that we will be judged for every word and thought. That we will reap what we sow. If we sow righteousness we will be rewarded with that fruit… If we sow hate, we will know the same.

Isaiah 3:
10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

FRUIT is what we produce, it is what we MANIFEST and REPLICATE into the world.

There of course is physical seed like that of plants, and animals, and then there is the metaphorical meaning of the word FRUIT… which deals with how someone thinks and behaves.

Matthew 7
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

By their FRUITS they shall be known. So the question I want you to ask yourself is what type of fruit are you bringing to the table?

You want to know how to test the spirits? Scripture says we must test the spirits to see if they be of God or not. It goes on to state that anyone who does not state that CHRIST IS COME/REVEALED IN THE FLESH is ANTI-CHRIST, which I will explain about later in the third teaching here.

However, let us first understand what SPIRIT is.

Proverbs 1:23
behold, I will pour out my SPIRIT unto you, I will make known my WORDS unto you.

Let me explain what a spirit is, it is a spoken word which originates from within you, called thought. Jesus said, “my words are SPIRIT”, love is spirit, compassion is spirit, encouragement is spirit, patience is spirit, and tolerance and acceptance are spirit. Some thoughtS are of God and there are other spirits like greed, hate, judgment, pride, lust that are spirits of a different kind.

So, which fruit do you bring to the table?

The most Holy Spirit or thought is said by every holy book to be LOVE.

These very same books define love.

The bible states that love is patient, kind, gentle, meek, long-suffering, it does not boast, it is not proud, it does not condemn, it does not strive, and love most certainly does not cast out… Love never fails.

So if you are impatient, intolerant, self-centered, judgmental, condemning, if you are some one who loves to debate and tell others how wrong they are, if you are one who would turn your back on another because of how they believe or behave… Then guess what… You are NOT ruled by a God of love, the one and only true God, you aren’t one with God, you aren’t a creation of love, you are ruled by the god of this world… WHICH IS YOUR CARNAL EGO THE ANTI-CHRIST!

So, which type of fruit are you bringing to table?

A heart of love produces love… A corrupt and hateful heart produces hate and corruption.

Sadly, most are ruled by another god indeed, and by their fruit you shall know these hypocrites, for they too are accusers of the brethren, they too judge, they waste, they too roam about seeking whom they may devour…

In fact some of these Jesus shouting, devil loving, children of ignorance may even want to come on here and make their presence known. Because the darkness hates the light. Liars hate the truth because they believe their lie is the truth. Yet, the truth cannot be offended and does not need to be defended… SO WHY DO THEY GET SO ANGRY? Why did the religious elite of Jesus’ day want him dead for simply telling the world to love and be who they truly are?

The answer is CONTROL!

The children of the god of this world (ego/anti-christ) hate the children of the kingdom because their fruit shows them just how misled they are.

Millions of you are children of your ignorant carnal devil of an ego and you don’t even know it.

A tree is known by its fruit, and salvation is now, wake up and smell the coffee because the army Joel spoke of is here, the “greater things than these” is being done now, so study to be quiet and go within and LOVE!

Test your spirits (thoughts/words) to see if they be of God and Love which is truth or not!

Live, laugh, love, together we are going to change this world… For we are ONE!

Change is coming and we are apart of it… AND TO DO THIS WE MUST KNOW WHO THE REAL ENEMY IS!

TEACHING 2
THE ANTI-CHRIST IS WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE!

The Anti-Christ sits on the Throne of God, declaring himself to be God… I got news for you… THAT ANTI-CHRIST is WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE.

The Anti-Christ is the exact opposite of what and who CHRIST is… Hence the title, “ANTI” — The origin of the prefix anti- and its variant ant- is an ancient Greek word which meant “against” or “opposite.”

So people, the ANTI-CHRIST would be a force that works against CHRIST. It would be the exact opposite of CHRIST.

One sees the Christ and Anti-Christ in the YIN YANG symbol. But to understand the “anti-christ”, to understand the enemy hiding in plain sight, let us first examine what and who CHRIST IS.

CHRIST is explained as the power of God, and the wisdom of God in 1 Cor 1:24

CHRIST is OUR POWER AND WISDOM as well. For God said, “all that is mine is thine”… All that is God’s is ours. So God’s power and wisdom is OUR POWER AND WISDOM.

Christ is not Jesus’ last name. The Christ, or the Messiah, is a TITLE of one who has overcome the world. Christ is one who has risen from the death of ignorance. The Christ is the title of ONE who is ONE WITH GOD.

Christ is the POWER and WISDOM of God being manifested through a VESSEL/MESSENGER in the temporal world. CHRIST is the POWER behind the enlightened individual. There is POWER and TRUTH and LOVE and HOPE and SALVATION in CHRIST. It is the POWER AND WISDOM OF GOD… So when someone says, CHRIST is a literal man preaching somewhere on the planet the scriptures teach us to NOT GO AFTER HIM. Because CHRIST is NOT A MAN. The Kingdom of God does NOT come with observation.

Luke 17:23
And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

Christ is the power and wisdom of God that gives life, freedom, and the power of creation to man.

Remember, CHRIST IN YOU is the hope of Glory. Not Christ coming again soon, as many of you have been told.

When CHRIST COMES, as we read earlier about “Christ coming in the flesh”, the word “comes” does not mean to come again in the future or from the east or the west, it means to be “REVEALED/UNCOVERED/MANIFESTED”

So when we read the words, “CHRIST COMES” we understand it to be… The POWER AND WISDOM OF GOD BEING REVEALED WITHIN US and EXPRESSED INTO THE WORLD.

So now that we know what Christ is, let us look at what the ANTI or OPPOSITE and OPPOSING force of Christ is.

If Christ is the POWER and WISDOM of God. Then the ANTI-CHRIST would have to be something that has NO POWER and is IGNORANT.

The opposite of WISDOM is IGNORANCE… The Opposite of Power is having NO POWER over your life.

Do you believe you have no control over your life? Do you believe that things happen to you and not for you, because of you? Do you think you are not in control? Do you worship a God outside of you, far away, coming again soon?

Well, if this is true, you are ANTI-CHRIST… Which simply means you are existing in an ignorant state of powerlessness.

1 John 2:18
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

This ANTI-CHRIST has a NUMBER, scripture tells us to calculate it. Six Hundred and Sixty Six… The liars of this world have tried to convince themselves that their CARNAL EGO was not the problem, and so they allowed their carnal ego to weave a tale. The DEVIL is the father of all lies after all.

And so this “anti-christ” of an ego created a spooky monster and said that this anti-christ is some coming world leader, etc. Yet, the number of this ANTI-CHRIST is explained plainly in the very same scriptures these ignorant anti-christs quote…

Revelation 13:18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Let me put this in scientific words as well… We are NOT our carbon based shell of a body. We ARE the POWER and LIFE within this VESSEL. We are NOT this vessel just as we are not the car we drive but the DRIVER of the car.

The problem is most begin to believe their dying, decaying body is who they are. This is what it means to be dead/ignorant in ADAM (mankind’s 1st state). There are many that believe their carbon based bodies are who they are. However, this carbon based body belief is in fact “ANTI-CHRIST.” – the opposite of truth, the opposite of who and what you really are.

Think it not strange that 666 is also the number for CARBON BASED LIFE FORMS. 6 electrons, 6 neutrons, 6 Protons… the physical form that dies is the EXACT opposite of the LIFE FORCE within in, that creates it and kills it.

So, we can see 666 is nothing really of a mystery. IT IS THE NUMBER OF CARNAL MAN as scriptures states!

The ENEMY is not some being outside of us. A man’s enemies are they of the man’s own house. The lies of the carnal ego/ID/devil/Anti-Christ is the enemy.

The ANTI-CHRIST sits on the THRONE OF GOD, which is your heart/mind, sitting in the TEMPLE of God which is YOUR CONSCIOUS LIFE, declaring “himself” to be God, WHICH IS WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE but ARE NOT!

CHRIST is who you really are within… YOU REALLY are the power and wisdom of God manifested in this world. Each of us part of one body, united, co-creating as we believe. The problem is, many have forgotten who they truly are… Which is why the scriptures call for your REMEMBRANCE.

Your MIND is the throne of God. Your BRAIN is the THRONE that God sits on and rules from… The 24 elders pictured are the 24 cranial nerves that sit around the throne of God, in the Temple (which is you) worshipping 24/7 because your 12 pairs of cranial nerves, or 12 disciples, always carry out the functions of the ghost in the machine, which is God, which is EXPRESSED through CHRIST, which is WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

Now, when we come to this world we all TAKE UPON OURSELVES the CARES/SINS of this world. We start putting our faith outside of us, we stop believing we have POWER and we become IGNORANT of who we truly are. In so doing, WE DIE TO THE TRUTH and become ANTI-TRUTH.

Who you think you are is actually in control of your life. Your fear, your doubt, your hate, your worry, your shame, your pride, ALL OF IT is ANTI-CHRIST and if you think all of that noise is YOU, then you are anti-christ my friend. However, don’t worry because in the end EVERYONE is saved from their ignorance. Because you can only play hide and seek with yourself for so long. (Pictured in Genesis when Adam was hiding)

2 Timothy 2:13
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

So the wrong idea of who you are will eventually be destroyed completely, by the TRUTH… Or should I say, by the COMING (REVEALING) OF THE TRUTH OF WHO YOU REALLY ARE.

2 Thessalonians 2:8
And then shall that Wicked (EGO) be revealed, whom the Lord (the one who really exists) shall consume with the spirit (true thoughts) of his mouth (truth spoken and heard), and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

The ANTI-CHRIST is destroyed by the BRIGHTNESS of the TRUTH being revealed to you. When CHRIST COMES… When the power and wisdom of God is revealed to you, you will know who you TRULY ARE and what you are truly capable of…

When this happens, the ANTI-CHRIST (your carnal ego/who you ignorantly believe yourself to be) is DESTROYED!

This is SALVATION! You are saved from the lies you have believed and delivered from the chains of your false identity.

So, then the question becomes for many… Who does the saving?

It is a man from thousands of years ago that died for us… or is this man our example who spoke the words of truth that SETS US FREE?

TEACHING 3
BELIEVE IN JESUS OR IN WHAT JESUS TAUGHT?

Many will try to convince you that Jesus TAUGHT that we are all to worship Jesus, and Jesus alone. That our faith should be in what a man from two thousand years ago did. That only by believing in Jesus will we know salvation. However, if one truly studies the scriptures you will find this is not the case.

Jesus taught us that the greatest of all was the servant of all… the master, or the one who receives praise and service is less than the one who serves… Jesus ALWAYS directed people with. He never asks for worship or praise, when people asked him how they should pray, he spoke of going to the source directly, within! The Messenger of Truth ALWAYS directs the disciple to GOD. It is not about the literal man, it is always about the SPIRIT within the man. Jesus knew this, ignorant religion corrupted this, and now many need to be set free from this.

Rev 22: But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!”

Jesus made it clear, we are all the same, the difference was Jesus knew who he was and who God really was.

Jesus never taught that he was greater than another. In fact, Jesus taught the opposite. The greatest of all is the servant to all. Jesus never wanted to be worshipped, much less wanted people to think they could sit on their egotistical buts and just believe on him and do nothing to finally experience eternal life.

Jesus never wanted people to pray to him or to idolize him, Jesus wanted people to take his name (which means to take on his nature)… To ask things in Jesus’ name, never meant to ask for literal things and then literally say, “in jesus name we pray” how foolish this would be.

People are constantly asking Jesus for this and that, yet he was clear, we were never to “pray” to jesus… In the day people wake up from this nonsense they will go directly to the father.

John 16:23
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

To ask for something in the “name” of Jesus means to exist in the NATURE of Jesus… which means everything we do is salted with love, truth, and faith…

Jesus was not trying to get people to go against the commandment in scripture that warns us to NEVER compare God to anything in the earth, beneath the earth, above the earth, or in the sea… Much less, the IMAGE OF A CORRUPTIBLE CARBON BASED LIFE FORMS 666.

Romans 1:23
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Jesus was NOT trying to get people to believe in HIM… NO! Jesus wanted people to believe in the WORDS he spoke. These words held the key to eternal life (righteousness, peace, joy, power, unity).

People today picture a man named Jesus with his beard and sandals and they believe HE, the FLESH MAN is salvation for what HE physically did… But this could not be farther from Jesus’ message. HIS WORDS WERE LIFE, not believing in his flesh and bone body.

THE TRUTH SETS YOU FREE, NOT THE ONE DELIVERING THE MESSAGE. IT IS ABOUT BELIEVING THE THINGS THAT HE SAID.

John 6:63
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Jesus was sharing the truth of who we all are. When people wanted to know the way to find eternal life, or wanted to know the “father” Jesus said, you know the commands follow them, get rid of everything that you put your faith in besides the truth.

Jesus also said, HE WAS THE WAY! This last statement many misunderstand. Jesus went on to explain to know God you must know what he knew, do as he did, live as he lived and love as he loved… He said, to know God you must follow my example. Jesus said, I am the way and you too must take up your cross and do what I did.

Jesus knew the ONLY way to know God was to be as he was, for as he was and is so are we. Jesus knew the truth of who he was… He said, I am in the father and the father in me… He said, that he and God were one, and went on to say… So are we!

Jesus even prayed that one day we (ignorant carnal dead carbond based life forms 666) would wise up and believe his words… Words that led those who believe to eternal life.

His spoken words were the TRUTH that set people free, for it is the TRUTH that sets people free from
lies they need saving from. Jesus, wanted everyone to know that, “as he was in the world so are you,” and that, “we are all one”. He even explained the day would come when you wouldn’t look to him for answers because one day you will know the Father for yourself… As the scriptures state, the day will come when you won’t need to go door to door saying know The Lord, for all will.

Jesus didn’t want to be worshipped the way people teach today…. He wanted people to ARISE, to BELIEVE and be BORN AGAIN!

Jesus, wanted people to know as they were known… Which means he wanted people to know who they truly were… Jesus wanted people to know who they were deep within… Which he explained was the only way to salvation….

The scriptures teach us that the hope of Glory is realizing the CHRIST within… This great title is the hope of every man, that we all realize who we really are. Which is also, a savior in this world. Those who enter the sheep gate who hear his voice, which means who understand his words, the same becomes the shepherd of the sheep. And today many are coming forward.

Jesus taught the very same things I share as well… That we REALLY need to have faith… It is our FAITH that makes us whole… Jesus said things like, “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them… Whatever a man believes he receives, all things are possible with faith”… Now mind you Jesus also said with GOD all things are possible. Almost as if to say that God and Faith are linked and forever united… And that God and Faith and TRUTH and LOVE is in fact within us all! WHICH IT IS!

So to believe the way many believe, to put your salvation in the future and in the arms of another man instead of believing the truth of who you are, you are in fact dead in your trespasses.

Jesus, and many others make it clear that no man, much less Jesus himself is to be worshipped or idolized.

The bible was never about a single man, it was always about MANKIND as a whole. The first and last ADAM.

The story has always been about Adam (mankind as a whole) taking upon themselves the sins (lies) of the world and dying to the truth of who they were, being cast out of themselves and cast out of the unity they once shared with the “Father” and then finding there way home through Christ (the 2nd MAN they become in this world)… But Jesus, like I and others know, “who will believe our report, and unto whom is the arm of the Lord revealed.”

This is why Jesus said people must believe his words to leave the ignorance of the first man and enter into the life and peace of the second man… The risen man… The man of the heart, Christ in you!

So you see it has never been about believing that something died for you, but it has always been about LEARNING from our “older brother, first-born among many, first-born of the dead… The one who went before us who also is risen in our hearts when his words of truth become our words of truth. Because the word has always been within us all…

Jesus wanted you to know what he knew, just as I and others want you to know what we know… It’s all about knowing the truth and faith comes first by hearing it!

Eternal life is hearing, believing and knowing where it all comes from.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (John 5:24 KJV)

We pass from the death of ignorance into the life of possibility the instant we believe the words that Jesus shared… That I am now sharing… That many will share as we are all.

The WORD of God is within us all… For we are all, as Jesus said, the word and lights of the world, the words of our life are meant to be read of all men… We are all living epistles people… We are all more than we have known.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” (John 14:12 KJV)

Start reading between the lines and beneath the black and white of ye literal… It is the spirit of the story that gives life… Now believe already, be born again into the reality of who you are, and produce fruit for the whole of the world to feast on!

TONGUES OF FIRE

Jacob Israel12 Comments

rushing wind
TONGUES OF FIRE


Acts 2:2
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

What a beautiful verse of scripture. Of course, this is a passage from the story of the upper room where a RUSHING MIGHTY WIND came in, filled those together there up and they all began speaking with cloven tongues of fire. This may sound odd to you, but by the end of this paper, you will see that YOUR TONGUES ARE ON FIRE TOO!

Today, we see many people teaching about these “tongues”. We see many who call themselves “spirit filled christians” speaking jibberish around each other and “falling out in the spirit” in front of each other. This you will find is a desperate attempt to try and to show the world just how close to god those people are.

Now these playful “acts” many religious christians say are evidence of the Holy Spirit. Well, I am here to tell you friends, this could not be farther from the truth. I am also here to welcome you to the great and wonderful day we are in.

NEWS FLASH: gibberish tongues, falling out in the spirit, laughing, giggling, feeling high, gold dust, visions, channeling, and any other such gimmicks we see today is NOT EVIDENCE OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

This is why we are told to test the SPIRITS (which are WORDS and THOUGHTS) of others to see if they are of god.

1 John 4:1-3
4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Every WORD that says YOU ARE NOT JESUS CHRIST YOURSELF is not of God!

Shocking right? Well, my friends, that is what that passage means. If you don’t see yourself as Jesus saw himself, than you are NOT OF GOD, but OF your CARNAL EGO.

Jesus Christ is an allegory of all of us. He is an example of who we are, what we are capable of, and what we have yet to become. If anyone thinks a man named Jesus Christ is somehow greater than them, than that person does NOT KNOW THE TRUTH.

Jesus taught that we are all the same, same body, same mind, same name, ONE!

Ephesians 4:4-6
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

THERE IS ONE SPIRIT, one body, one God that is in all, through all, and is all!

“As he is so are we” in this world.”

Now, this is a lot for many to grasp. However, there is more than this to grasp people. The day is coming when the SON (who we are) will put everything beneath our feet (rule/walk in life), and in that day, we will then put everything under the Father’s… so that GOD IS ALL IN ALL. And that day is rapidly approaching.

1 Corinthians 15:28
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

When we finally take control of our lives and realize everything is to be subdued by us, ruled by us and subject to us. When we realize that everything is our creation to do with as we desire, in that day we will also become subject to the spirit of love and truth that is within us. So people will be able to say, “I am in the Father and the Father is in me”, and “If you have seen me, you have seen the father” because GOD WILL BE ALL IN ALL.

And since God is SPIRIT, the evidence of such is not grand shows or long prayers… it expressing the TRUTH and LOVING OTHERS by following the common of love. As the scriptures state, you will know my faith by my works. You will know God by the things I do, while expressing brotherly love, compassion, hope and faith in this world.

The SPIRIT of God, is TRUTH and LOVE. But what does this mean? What is SPIRIT?

Jesus said, my “words” are spirit and they are truth. This great spirit of truth within us all is NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION… So hearing people speak gibberish tongues or acting drunk, or goofy is not evidence of the spirit of God at all… Evidence of God is the SPOKEN WORD and LOVE!

When you hear the truth, you know it, and you know what it means. Because this truth is your NATIVE LANGUAGE, it is the LANGUAGE OF YOUR BIRTH… It is the language you spoke before you took on the lies/sins of this world and adopted the ideas of those already lost here that came before you.

Speaking in gibberish tongues is only evidence of confusion. While speaking and hearing the truth of love is the EVIDENCE OF THE SPIRIT WITHIN US ALL!

To see LOVE in the heart of others IS EVIDENCE of this spirit.

1 John 2:4-6
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Now, as Paul said to many of his students… “Brothers and sisters I don’t want you to be ignorant of this, blindness in part has happened to Israel”… This means that some people just aren’t ready to see these words you now see. So we must not think higher of ourselves for seeing and hearing the truth of love, than those who are still performing childish acts like speaking in tongues and falling out. Remember, there was probably a time when you, yourself believed such. You may have even practiced such, or still believe such, as I did once.

HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT THE DAY WE ARE IN!

We are not in a day of make-believe where we must pretend like children that we can have super powers and are being tangibly touched by a god we worship who exists far from us. No, that day is over! Those who still are married to that “harlot” may not agree right now, but one day they will. And until that day, we are not to look upon them as below us or enemies to us. No, we are too look upon them as we would children.

Luke 7:32
They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

This is a good example of what those lost to the lies of religion are like today. They are like spoiled kids trying to get their way. They form clicks, betray each other, demand things, have temper tantrums, judge others, put others down, gossip, praise the strong and rich over the weak and poor and of course they love to play the make-believe game of “I KNOW THE TRUTH OF GOD BETTER THAN YOU!”

Like children, the lost believe they must do something to get this or that, so their motives are always suspect, because they, like children are never content.

However, I am here to say…. the days of this have come to an end!

LIKE THE RUSHING OF A MIGHTY WIND, there is now a remnant elect according to grace that is speaking this new LANGUAGE OF LOVE and will draw many to it! And for those who have been RAISED up out of the IGNORANCE and LIES of this world, the words they now speak will draw all men to them… because this is the day we are in!

John 12:32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

So get ready because it is time for us all to put away our childish beliefs and HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT WITHIN US ALL IS SAYING!

After all, this is why you are here reading these words today… Is it not?

1 Corinthians 13:11
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Each day I receive and read beautiful messages and comments from people who I have connected with all over the world. Sometimes, it can be a bit hard to keep up with everyone all the time but I always find a way to get back to everyone. I do this, because I know how important it is to reach out to someone when you begin to see things differently, or have a strong feeling in your heart that there is more to “God”, the world, and who you are, than you have been told.

I know how helpful it is to be able to find like-minded people who, like myself, who have first seen the things others are now seeing, or have seen before but had no one to share with.

I understand, at the present time there may not be many people to talk to about this. But as God promised Elijah, THERE ARE OTHERS that have heard this RUSHING MIGHTY DOCTRINE of truth within them!

Romans 11:11
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying, 3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. 5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

Like Elijah, you may feel, or have felt, like the obstacles in your life are too great. You may feel, or have felt that you are so very small and that RELIGION, POLITICS and the WORLD is so big and powerful. You may question, or have questioned, what can little old you do to change things?

You may wonder why are you so passionate about these “things you are hearing within” and if it will ever really matter that you see things different at all. You may also look around, as Elijah did, saying within yourself LOOK AT ALL OF THESE CHURCHES, TEMPLES, MOSQUES, RELIGIOUS BUILDING and the billions of people who worship there. You may have found yourself to be persecuted because of your beliefs, beliefs that are also mine. Jesus also knew this would happen, which is why he told others that they would be attacked and hated because of the message he shared. So if you are worried that you are alone, I am here and many others are here to remind you what God reminded ELIJAH! YOU ARE NOT ALONE and THE DAY OF THE LORD IS HERE NOW!

THERE ARE OTHERS! This is all part of the plan.

As the scriptures state…. “AT THE PRESENT TIME this is a REMNANT according to the ELECTION OF GRACE!”

So, one must question what is the ELECTION OF GRACE?

Well the word ELECTION literally translates into “the act of CHOOSING something by free will”. And we know what GRACE is, don’t we? GRACE from its word origin literally means “to be gracious”, “to be giving”, loving”.

When we put this ALL together we see that there are REMNANT of people who are CHOOSING TO LOVE! They have ELECTED GRACE! Just as one would elect a president at the ELECTION OF PRESIDENT SO AND SO.

Isn’t it amazing how blind we all have been to these simply phrases, and how the TRUTH of what these verses really mean can deliver us so?

Well this ELECTION OF GRACE was most certainly my choice, of should I say, what choice did I have but to choose it 😉 This is something you might say as well, or have said, or will still say one day. In the mean time, you can consider me one of this remnant of people, one of these forerunners in today’s quest for truth.

Oh, now don’t let your ego fool you… As a person believes so he is… if it is my desire to be such, than who is anyone to say I am wrong? And if you disagree with this statement, than I say, judge by my work’s sake.

As Solomon said, “there is nothing new under the sun”… And now you will see these words ring true as you continue this essay.

Regardless of how much of this TRUTH we understand, there are times, just like Elijah the TISHBITE (which is where Elijah was from). The irony of being a TISHBITE is that “TISHBITE” literally means “Captivity”. Elijah is also a symbol of us… we were all captives in this world until that RUSHING MIGHTY WIND OF TRUTH breathes life back into us and our words become as a flaming fire of truth and love.

Also, just like Elijah, there may be times that we need to be reminded that when the going gets tough for us, we are NOT ALONE. Because there are others that have not bowed down and worshipped the lies of this religious corrupt world. Right now, it may be hard for you to see yourself as a Conqueror… but believe me, we are the ARMY JOEL spoke of. And we all have heard the TRUMPET SOUND!

Joel 2
2 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh

And these TONGUES OF FIRE that we have heard about are actually the WORDS WE ARE SPEAKING THIS DAY! This “WORD OF TRUTH AND LOVE” is going out, surprisingly so, and nothing shall keep these words from accomplishing what they are sent out into the world to do. WHICH IS DELIVER THE LOST, BREAK THE CHAINS OF WICKEDNESS AND IGNORANCE, GATHER WHAT IS LOST AND SET AT LIBERTY THOSE ASLEEP!

Joel 2:3
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them

We are moving unto paradise and we are leaving the desolation of our past behind. This is the day we are in and these are the TONGUES OF FIRE that are finally making clear that we reap what we sow, that whatever a person believes they receive, and that with FAITH ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

Matthew 17:20
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you

This letter to you all, which is written from my heart, you will soon see is witness to this.

Now, many of the messages I get from people are letters of their joy, letters of gratitude that they have finally found someone else in the world that sees the scriptures the way they do. When people who had been like Elijah believing they were alone finally find a site like “Jacob’s Ladder” they find peace and realize the thoughts in their head are not the ravings of a lunatic or a “demon” possessed individual. Many who find my site, first prayed to find such a site and when they do finally find me, and others like me, they are relieved to find out what they know to be true is TRUE!

What I have described above is the day written about in the book of acts. This is the UPPER ROOM experience people. It was early in the morning which is symbolic for us all today. IT IS EARLY in this NEW DAY THAT WE ARE IN.

Finally people everywhere are beginning to hear the NATIVE LANGUAGE again… this language is LOVE. Like those in the upper room story, there were “front-runners” or a “remnant” of individuals gathered together in this UPPER ROOM, which means a HIGHER PLACE OF UNDERSTANDING.

These front-runners SPOKE THE SAME LANGUAGE, they said the same things, they saw God the same way… THEY WERE OF ONE MIND and ONE ACCORD!

Acts 2
2 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

And for these men and women it was as if this great new truth and revelation had rushed in quickly. People today are coming to this understanding faster than ever before. The TRUTH is overpowering and it sweeps you off your religious feet and restores you back to your original language of truth and LOVE.

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

Once we hear the truth, we begin to speak the truth with a NEW TONGUE. This new tongue is a new understanding of what and who God is and more importantly what and who we all truly are within.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

In the book of acts, we see this happening with these front-runners. A RUSHING MIGHT WIND came in through a window (which is symbolic of a person’s eye or perception). This RUSHING WIND is an allegory for a NEW DOCTRINE or understanding.

Ephesians 4:14
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine

We then see these front-runners begin to share this new doctrinal language so the world could hear it. This is no different from what I and others have done in this new day as well, with our blogs, thoughts, poems, radio, and videos. And just like the disciples in the days of the Upper Room when people hear the things we say many will call us crazy, or say we are on drugs… The reason for this is simple, it’s only the 3RD HOUR… IT IS STILL EARLY IN THE DAY PEOPLE!

Acts 2
12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

Of course they don’t want the new wine, they want the old. The doubters and unbelievers are those that are surrounding us all, they are the ones that make you scared to share what you now know, or are beginning to know.

So, I am here to boldly declare, YOU ARE NOT CRAZY! The people who are can hear the words I write, those who are grateful that there others just like them, are grateful for the confirmation of the words in their heart. They won’t care anymore if people say they are crazy, or DRUNK OR ON DRUGS, because that is what all unbelievers say.

No, those who hear these words are beginning to rejoice. They are now HEARING THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE. This LANGUAGE is the TRUTH OF WHO THEY REALLY ARE!

This is the LANGUAGE we had when we were BORN. Before we took upon ourselves the SINS/LIES of the world, and DIED to the truth of who we are!

Acts 2
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

So take heart because if you are excited to read this letter today, if you feel like there MUST BE MORE within your heart, IF YOU FEEL A SENSE OF HOPE…then my friend, YOU ARE ALSO HEARING YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE!

As God, promised Elijah, YOU ARE NOT ALONE… WHICH IS WHY YOU FOUND ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!

It is my belief, today is the gathering together of the SAINTS.

There are those who have CHOSEN TO KNOW MORE, TO SEE MORE, TO LOVE MORE, AND TO LIVE MORE! There are those
who HEAR THIS WORD in their heart, this truth, this LOVE, and they KNOW it is from God. There are those who heard their natives language in the “tongues” spoken in the book of Acts because NO ONE ELSE but THEM had heard this language of love until they stumbled across those SEVEN THOUSANDS chosen to be LIGHTS IN THIS WORLD!

This new language is as a cloven fiery tongue indeed. Because these WORDS we speak, and you hear, are separated/cloven from the lies of the world.

These TONGUES OF FIRE, or VOICES OF TRUTH, are now destroying the lies people have believed and these words are purifying the hearts of individuals as fire would chaff.

GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE!

These words are truth and they are spirit. Jesus understood this, when he said the words he speaks are truth and spirit and that they come from WITHIN HIM. Jesus also understood, as I understand, that these words/tongues that we speak not everyone in the world can recieve right now.

John 14:17
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you

The SPIRIT of TRUTH is not a person that lives within the person that is you. The SPIRIT OF TRUTH is the TRUTH OF WHO YOU ARE. This TRUTH, the world cannot receive because everything in this world perishes, and YOU ARE INFINITE. LIFE HIDES IN THE DEATH of this world. We all died, which means became ignorant of who we are, so we WOULD LIVE AGAIN and RISE to heights of understanding that would in turn save people from the ignorance of themselves.

The spirit is always within mankind, just as air is always in our lungs as we live. This spirit does not go into a man, but it comes out of a man, because TRUTH and LOVE is already within everyone.

This LIGHT even shines in darkness today. Many do not perceive this light. Many don’t SEE GOD in this LIGHT. Fewer still SEE THEMSELVES IN THIS LIGHT… This is why we have altars of BAAL everywhere (churches, mosques, temples, holy place, etc) … So the WORLD (those ruled by the Ignorant EGO of man) cannot receive this, BUT YOU CAN! YOU KNOW THE TRUTH, YOU HEAR YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE EACH TIME YOU COME TO THIS SITE AND OTHERS!

Acts 10:46
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.

So when I received a certain comment today from one of my readers GOD WAS MAGNIFIED to me and I was inspired to write this essay on tongues of fire! What do I mean, by God being magnified? Well, I mean the scope of what we are all doing hit me. And it is a glorious thing.

Now, to magnify God does not mean what you think. To MAGNIFY something is to get a better understanding of what that something is. To get a closer look at it. When you magnify something you begin to see deep within what you saw externally to begin with. When you magnify it you begin to see how incredibly grand it is, how complex, and most importantly HOW INFINITE!

Science has proven the closer you look at something the more of that something you can see, whether through a microscope of a telescope, when something is magnified its INFINITE ATTRIBUTES are realized.

These NEW TONGUES we are hearing today, these words that I speak, as well as those you speak, and others are beginning to hear… MAGNIFY GOD! These words are expressing the truth of who we all are in a way that no one had seen before. When people hear these new tongues those with ears to hear stop and TAKE A CLOSER LOOK at who God is and who they are… and in so doing, GOD IS MAGNIFIED!

Also, the more you hear these words the more people will begin to LOOK WITHIN!

Acts 10:46
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.

Many who visit here have left religion, some are new to this site, and others are still married to religion but deep within are excited and curious about the words they find here. That to me, is a miracle.

I want to point out that these emails, comments, replies, and requests I receive are not just wonderful messages of gratitude, they are prayer requests, inspired revelations, confirmations, affirmations, and simple letters as to how, and why, they believe they have found me on-line.

It is easy to pass the results from sharing these words to others as normal. However, to realize the scope of how many people are reached daily through the things I write and share is not just humbling, and exciting, it is as I have mentioned before a MIRACLE OF FAITH! The reason people still seem to suffer the storms of life is because they don’t have this faith that I speak of.

Matthew 17:20
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

With faith all things are possible… even becoming the person I am today, becoming the person you are today, we ARE exactly what we believed we could be. We can’t do everything we believe we can’t do as well.

Many years ago I dreamed that I would be the man I am today, doing what I am doing today, living the way I am living today… as a LIGHT! And as Jesus said in John chapter nine verse five, “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” I wanted to let this LIGHT SHINE and shine it has and today it is attracting many, many more people who have this LIGHT within them as well.

Sometimes, it is easy to dream up movies like the Matrix and see how this symbolism applies to myself and others who are so passionate about sharing the love of the truth and the truth of love.

neoFROM THE HEART

Like Neo and his crew on the “Nebuchadnezzar” searching for those to rescue from being ignorant slaves to a “fallen” world of lies and death, I began sharing my thoughts and essays with the hopes of finding like-minded people who have a hunger for more deep within them. I too, felt like the TRUTH rushed in from Heaven and could not wait to speak that native tongue to others once again.

Now, to see how it has all come together is a GREAT THING indeed.

To grasp how quite amazing all of this is one would have to be in my shoes. To wait for years to finally share things I had held in my heart for over a decade and then to see these words spread to the four corners of the globe amazes me. I literally have tens of thousands of readers in every country around the world reading and sharing these thoughts today. AND YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHING YET!

This was the desire of my heart. To see this come to pass, to be here today creating my life the way I have dreamed, is awesome. My dream, my desire was to be exactly the man you know me to be today. My heaven was found by revealing what heaven truly is to others.

Righteousness, peace, joy and power!

So, when I receive messages of gratitude, or compliments, or requests for the things I share, I am reminded that “with faith all things are possible” indeed.

For some this may be a new tongue to hear. However, this is your native language and today tens of thousands understand it… Like one of my emails today, where the reader wrote… Jacob, I can’t believe I found someone who SPEAKS MY LANGUAGE!

I simply knew in my heart who I wanted to be and that is who I am today. Because of my faith! My reward is seeing my dream of inspiring countless people come to life before me. Which in the natural understanding of a man one might not be able to grasp. Because I am not your typical “religious leader”, in fact I AM NOT A RELIGIOUS LEADER AT ALL! The fact that I do not make my living doing this is also very important to note. Because pure faith cannot be bought or sold, instead it is inspired.

This is why few of you even know who I truly am. You don’t know the name I was given in this world, because I am no longer of this world, so you know the name given to me from above. 😉

In other words, I am what I am, and I will be whatever I will be, because with faith all things are possible!

Now most of you may not know who I am in this world, but you do know who I AM. You know my heart, and I know yours. It is like we know each other. Like I am in you, and You are in me. You and I are one. This is the new tongue, the language of love that everyone is beginning to hear today!

Those that do know me in this world, may say, “physician heal thyself”, they may think I am crazy and need to be set straight, or they may not welcome me as “Mr. Israel” and this is why the internet is so important, and why some anonymity is necessary.

Like Jesus, I don’t have a title, this is what makes this site I have so interesting because I don’t have a religion or church to promote, I simply promote this rushing mighty wind of truth within me.

I AM NOT A PASTOR, a Bishop, Imam, Guru, Priest, Cult leader, etc… I don’t have a church, I have a day job, I am an author, radio personality, TV writer and producer as well as salesman so when I get responses from people on-line as to how grateful they are for something I have written or shared outside of my worldly craft I am always taken back. More over, when people honor me the way they do, seeing me in such an elevated light I am eternally grateful and touched. Yet, I want them also to know as Jesus wanted them to know… AS I AM SO ARE YOU!

I am living the life I have always dreamed and such messages are such a gift to me. Contrary to popular belief I do NOT MAKE MY LIVING from my website, radio show, etc… you see this part of my life I actually pay to provide to all of you because life has offered me more than I would ever need from other sources so I could follow my dream and blaze a fiery path to clear the way for others to see…

At the present time, I believe the fact that I am not making my living off of this material makes it even more worthwhile, because there is no price attached to it… What I share, truly cannot be sold is can only be shared and I believe I will always be well provided for and capable of doing so.

So instead of the money that many religious leaders ask for so they can continue to build their kingdom of earth, I ask you simply to share the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN with the world for free!

I ask you all to do as I do. SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE so others can hear! LET YOUR TONGUES OF FIRE clear the way for others to see and hear! Whether that is by sharing articles like this, or writing your own… Go forth and make disciples of this truth because THIS IS THE DAY WE ARE IN… THE DAY OF THE RUSHING MIGHTY WIND!

You’ll never know how many will hear their native tongue in your words until you do!

Peace to you and yours,

THE TRUMPET SOUNDS – FEAR NO MORE!

THE TRUMPET SOUNDS – FEAR NO MORE!

This short powerful mini documentary will take your breath away! You have been lied to by this world your whole life, you have been fed a constant diet of fear, worry, shame, greed, and pride. Because of this cruel brainwashing you took upon yourself the sins/lies of the world and WHO YOU TRULY ARE IN ESSENCE DIED… but that is about to change!

You are more than you know! This short mini movie will open your eyes to a great enemy hiding in plain sight. “Roaming to and fro seeking whom it may devour”. This “enemy” disguises itself as “god” and most worship this liar as god. For your enemy is most certainly the god of this carnal ignorant world. Yet, this enemy is not your god anymore… because now the truth you have begun to see clear.

This enemy, your adversary, the devil is also called the carnal ego/id of mankind. This is the JUDAS that dines with you, sits at the table with you, and betrays you for THE LOVE OF MONEY AND POWER. This “enemy” is the root of your fear and it has stolen your life away with it.

The “god” of this world, the devil, the serpent, which is man’s carnal ego or the “ID”, is the very enemy people have been worshipping their whole lives unaware. Because of this few know how to truly live their life. Life has become more of a chore, it is about suffering and fear and worry and doubt instead of righteousness (right thinking), peace, joy and power…

HOWEVER, THAT IS ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE!

It’s time to wake up to the new day we are in and LIVE our life!

After watching this video you may just see “SATAN, FALL LIKE LIGHTENING FROM HEAVEN (your higher thinking)!”

The TRUTH sets you free from the lies you believe about yourself and others. When the DAYSTAR rises in your heart you will know which voice to listen to, which words to bring forth, which thoughts to manifest and which thoughts to cast away and you will FEAR NO MORE.

Please enjoy this short mini movie called “The Trumpet Sounds – Fear No More” and enjoy a poem I wrote on this topic called, “Two In One Bed” – the double minded man is unstable in all his ways. It’s time to be of ONE MIND, ONE HEART, ONE SPIRIT, ONE TRUTH, ONE LOVE, AND ONE LIFE TOGETHER! Please do share with others and subscribe to this blog if you haven’t already. Much love to you and yours, Jacob

–
“TWO IN ONE BED”
There are two voices in everyone’s head.
The quieter voice is always the better choice, because the louder offers only fear and dread.
The quieter voice is love and truth, the louder voice will lie to you and make you wish you were dead.
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
This is why you must find the quieter voice today.
The louder voice will shout and pout and will do everything to make you believe these thoughts are actually coming from you.
The Louder voice will demand action, demand revenge, and will always make you do what you should not do.
The quieter is your hope, salvation, and great reward, this you will find.
The louder will grind hope and peace to powder if you allow it each and every time.
This is why the still quiet voice you must find.
You can choose to win or lose, whether to fall or rise.
The loudest is the room is always wrong, while the one who thinks before he acts and speaks is wise.
So take your thoughts captive and see whether they be true or lies.
In the end, my friend, you will thank me, because the quiet voice is peace, power, purpose and perfection finally realized.

POWER OF FORGIVENESS

Jacob Israel10 Comments

POWER OF FORGIVENESS

We all know the story of the woman caught in adultery. She was a woman who (we are told) had an affair and was caught. She was then brought before Jesus in the Temple by a group of men who wanted to stone her to death. Jesus proceeds to write in the ground as they tempt him by asking what they should do to her. Jesus doesn’t fall into their trap by saying “You cannot throw a stone”, or by saying, “Well get to it”. No, what Jesus does is so much more profound and powerful. He says, “let those without sin cast the first stone.”

On a simple level, Jesus is pointing out that we all fall short. That we all have made mistakes and that no one is greater than another so as to punish them.

After his bold and wise statement the woman’s accusers are convicted by his words and they leave. Now this is where the story get’s interesting. After the accusers leave, Jesus says to the “adulterous women”, “Who is left to condemn you?” . The woman, to her surprise, finds all had gone. She realized there was no one who could condemn her.

When one LEARNS THIS LESSON… that NO ONE is CONDEMNING YOU… then you are FREE to go about your life and SIN NO MORE! – Simply put, the shame we feel each and every day keeps us in a constant state of suffering. This shame, a majority of the time is self-imposed. Of course, we were first conditioned to believe we were no good. Religion, society, our parents did a great job of this. Ignorantly using shame and fear to manipulate us to behave a certain way. Saying things like, “Good boys and girls dress a certain way or act a certain way. Good boys and girls just do what they are told and never question authority.” These examples are nothing compared to how religion convinced us all that our creator hates us so, that we are no good the way we are, because we were so very bad for simply being born…

However, in the story of the adulterous woman the TRUTH is made beautifully clear… THERE IS NO ONE LEFT TO CONDEMN YOU… No one is there to truly tear you down for your self imposed, ill informed, short comings. Once we realize that we can stop hiding and running from the fear that others think we are no good we can finally go and LIVE our life without SIN (foolish, fear inspired thoughts).

Now in the scriptures there is a whole lot of talk about sin. Most don’t truly understand what this “sin” is. Sin means to MISS the MARK (truth). It is foolish thinking. Sin is simply not knowing any better. Which is why Jesus said on that cross, “Forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men. (Proverbs 24:9 KJV)

In truth, to take this story of the adulterous woman solely as a historical event, one would be sinning. Because, these stories we find are meant to be taken spiritually. It is the spirit of the story that gives us life/enlightenment/wisdom.

“WISDOM IS A TREE OF LIFE… IN ALL YOUR GETTING… GET WISDOM!”

So every part of the adulterous woman story has a deeper meaning. The woman, the stones, Jesus, the accusers, everything means so, so much more.

Today we are going to look at this story in a new light and see how it applies to our life. Because when the veil is taken away from this story we will find that we are both the victim and those who condemn, both the accused and the one who provides salvation.

The wonderful thing about these stories we find in scripture is they can be taken so many different ways. And it is peeling back the layers of these that seem to be literal, and historical, stories that we find the true blessing of what was written so many years ago.

If you have been to my site before I shouldn’t have to remind you that the Kingdom of Heaven is a mystery, that Jesus ONLY spoke in parables/allegory to the masses, and that God opens his mouth in dark sayings and parable. Which is a poetic way of saying, there is more to the scriptures than meets the natural eye.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:14 KJV)

Our waking life is also a mystery that we will, and must, uncover. The scriptures are the same. Some understand higher things and some cannot, so for those that are not yet ready to be told plainly, the scriptures are written symbolically to help gradually lead everyone where they need to go.

Mark 4:11
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

So while the story of the adulterous story may seem cut and dry, there is a lot more hidden within it’s verses. As I stated earlier, we are after the “Spirit” of the story here on “Jacobs’s Ladder”.

My passion is to share what these parables mean so we can apply this wisdom to our lives. And for those who are not ready, the allegory reveals sealed up until the appointed time.

Matthew 13:13
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

In short, private interpretation just doesn’t cut it. It is the inspiration of the LORD, which literally means “the Existing One, or The One Who Exists”, that helps us to see what these allegories really mean. This “LORD/Existing One” is the CHRIST within you, which is the POWER AND WISDOM OF GOD… which is YOUR LIFE! This is where the revelation comes from… WITHIN.

The Kingdom of God is within us, and from the throne of glory we receive the deeper meaning of these stories. You see this inspiration and revelation cannot come from others, it can only come from WITHIN YOU! Even if someone had the truth and tried sharing it with you, if YOU weren’t ready to receive it, you wouldn’t be able too, regardless of how much evidence was presented.

This is why one must not simply take the word of others, one must seek and they will find. When you do HUNT FOR THIS TREASURE HIDDEN IN YOUR EARTHEN VESSEL eventually you will have what it is you are looking for.

The scriptures state, that the truth is poured out for those who seek it. We see many asking God to increase their wisdom, faith, and understanding. We see Solomon asking for wisdom, and we always see these gentle souls finding what it is they looked for to begin with.

Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

The GREAT TEACHER is within you, this teacher is ONE with you, this teacher is YOUR LIFE, your hope, and your great salvation. DAILY, within you this great TEACHER/LORD/One who truly exists is teaching you (the you, you think you are).

Matthew 26:55
I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

The power and wisdom of God is within us all, teaching us daily. Sadly we have been conditioned to listen to the god of this world (our egotistical carnal minds/enemy/devil) instead of the TRUTH which sets us free.

So if you seek TRUTH, and GOD IS SPIRIT AND TRUTH AND LOVE… If you seek these things, they will be added to you. Now if truth be told, it works the opposite way to. If you focus on misery you will find it. Whatever a person seeks they will find. If you seek truth, hope, faith and love you will be blessed with these things. If you seek ego, riches, lust, etc… you will find these things as well.

Proverbs 11:27
He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

The reason I am writing this is because lately I have been looking back at some of my writing and videos from the past few years. Some of what I saw and read I loved and some of what I saw and read, just didn’t sound like me at all anymore. We all indeed grow spiritually. And I have grown much in the last couple of years. I find today I am more humble and forgiving than I have been. I think higher of others than I have before and I truly want to walk in peace with everyone. My fundamental beliefs haven’t changed, but my attitude sure has.

There was a time that I would hold onto the pain others caused me. Intellectually I understood people who do harm “know not what they do”. But I was hurt, abused, mocked, and because of this instead of taking the high road I found myself deep within wanting to strike back. Instead of entering the straight gate of peace and righteousness (right thinking) I followed the broad road, one paved with thoughts of revenge and justice. Basically, I wanted to put these critics in their place and in seeking this, I found only pain.

And if we are honest with ourselves. When people hurt us and we in turn strike back to hurt them… we are no better.

This is why we must NOT JUDGE… We must LOVE… we must LAY DOWN OUR STONES!

Today, I am in a different place. I haven’t exactly mastered the art of forgiveness but each day I get a little better and my patience and compassion for even those who hurt me has increased. Today, I don’t feel like I should be standing in judgment over anyone. Sure I don’t understand why some people feel the need to hurt others, but just because I don’t understand their actions doesn’t give me the right to take any of it personally. The truth is when we do this, the only person we hurt is ourselves.

There is a famous saying, the author escapes me… “Other people’s opinions are none of my business”

Now, I have written in the past about what it really means to truly forgive. And how in your forgiveness you are forgiven as well. I have written about what, “forgive and you will be forgiven”, really means before. So let me take a moment and remind you all. The word “Forgive” means to “release a debt”. To forgive is LETTING GO.

To forgive doesn’t mean you pretend to like people who hurt you all the while condemning them in your heart, to forgive means you don’t look to past behavior. To forgive means you LET IT GO! You don’t hold any past offence against anyone, and in so doing your heart is free from the weight of carrying that burden of being upset at these people all the time.

Think about how much of your time is spent living and reliving moments where people have hurt you. It is a torment that is unlike any other. Think how much better it would be if you just let it all go.

Sure that sounds all well and good, right? But it is one thing to say this and understand it, but it is a whole other thing completely to walk this out in your daily life.

I know this well because when looking back at some of my past essays I can easily see how very hard it was for me to forgive. I was like those men chasing that woman down with stones in their hands. I saw people who had done me and others wrong and I wanted justice. And when I threw those stones in my heart , and I cursed them, and I allowed these stones to fly… you know what I found?… I found that in so doing it didn’t make me feel better at all.

In fact, being angry at others for hurting me brought me more pain and suffering than the offence itself.

Here is the reason why… because not only could I not let go of being angry at them but now I had to deal with my own inadequacy of being able to do so. The only thing worse than this is when I allowed my anger to build to a point where I lash out and make my feelings known.

“Words are like toothpaste, once it’s out, IT’S OUT AND CAN’T BE PUT BACK IN!”

And every time I let those STONES fly, the shame of doing this hung heavier around my neck than the anger before it, and that is not living people.

When we don’t let go of past offences not only are we plagued by the actions and words of those who hurt us, but then we are tempted to strike back which opens us up to a whole new, and terrible, world of suffering. This is why it is of utmost importance that we all learn the great lesson of forgiveness. Without it we will NEVER know the peace that we are all hoping to find.

The first step to overcoming any addiction is to recognize that you have a problem with that addiction!

Believe me when I say not being able to truly forgive is something we are all terribly addicted to. This never brings out the best in us, it always brings out the worst. It never leads to life, it always leads to death (ignorant suffering/hell).

Matthew 7:13
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat

How can anyone truly love their life if they don’t love who they are and have the ability to love others? This is the straight gate!

Without forgiveness it is impossible to enjoy life, it impossible to live at peace with others, and impossible to be at peace within yourself. You will always have someone to be angry with, and you will always have part of yourself that you cannot stand.

If we could forgive we would have no ill will toward anyone. If we could forgive our relationships would thrive, our families would know the pure joy of love, and we would begin to have an excitement in our lives that we never knew before.

Forgiveness is the key to our salvation. Look at the example of the crucifixion. At Golgotha (the place of the skull) we see Jesus (Salvation) crosses over from death to life. And what is the declaration he makes first?

Luke 23
34Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

These are the first words he speaks after being placed on the cross. He chose forgiveness and because of this was allowed to give up the ghost of his previous suffering and enter into true rest.

The ability to forgive what many would consider unforgivable is the very thing that has to be done by us all if we ever want to cross over from the death of our carnal minds into the life of Christ (power and wisdom of God).

We must lay down our stones (judgment and condemnation). We must stop seeing ourselves as right in our own eyes and others as wrong. Truly, we have all fallen short. The longer we elevate ourselves at the expense of others the longer we will suffer. The longer we repay hate for hate the more we will reap it in return. The longer we hate ourselves the longer we suffer, the instant we enter into forgiveness we are set free.

Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap

If you continue to “sow to the flesh” you will reap corruption (corrupt thinking). The longer you fuel the fires of anger toward those who have done you wrong the longer you will be plagued by the suffering that comes with it. However, the more you take your thoughts of anger captive and cast them away, the more treasure you store up for yourself and the more peace you will find within.

The longer you hate yourself and others, the more miserable your life will be. But I promise you the more you forgive others and yourself, the more joy you will find.

The problem is we have been conditioned away from forgiveness. Today people point fingers every which way, towards those that hurt them, towards those act or look different, towards those who think different and believe different. And we are ALL guilty of this, our guilt causes our suffering. Which is why we must LET IT GO!

The greater your capacity to forgive is, the more grateful you become in life. This is pictured beautifully in the story of the woman with the alabaster box.

Luke 7:47
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

The more you are able to forgive others and yourself, the more love you have. The more you love the more you forgive, the more you forgive the more you truly begin to live.

Acts 3:19
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord

We need to change our thinking. We need to forgive BECAUSE it is the only way to freedom. We need to take a good long look at ourselves in the mirror and say, forgive me for the times I could not forgive. We need to pray that we will be ale to forgive and force ourselves to take the higher road. It may be hard at first but soon the high road will become our only road and it will no longer seem as work, because we know in so doing we find everlasting life and peace!

I want to be a light in this world and it would be easy when I am mistreated for me to want to lash out and seek justice for myself. But the instant I do this, that light goes out and I live in darkness and pain because I allowed it. Time has taught me, that when I take revenge into my own hands I am inviting more suffering into my life.

Romans 12:19
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord

Time has also taught me that when I refuse to give in to that wicked egotistic carnal mind of mine that I find strength to overcome it. When we resist the urge to hold others accountable for our current emotional state, we find that urge leave us.

James 4:6-8
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you

God is love and we cannot know love when we choose the pride of anger instead. God resists the proud, which means when you act out of your anger toward others it will NEVER bring you a positive and peaceful end. But if you are humble and you forgive and trust God, the urge to do harm, the urge to condemn others and yourself will flee! It will leave you so you can know the peace that you allowed to be stolen from you to begin with, because you didn’t first forgive.

With all of that being said, I want to open your eyes to perhaps seeing the parable of the adulterous woman in a new light.

JOHN 8
2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

Notice this scene takes place in the morning. The SUN (son/truth) hadn’t fully risen, it had just risen. WITHIN the temple Jesus (the way, truth, life) was teaching. Look at the Temple as YOUR SOUL, and Jesus as the Spirit of God within you that is teaching you daily. (The SON just rose and began to teach)

3And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

You see, even though the TRUTH of God was being taught within the Temple (you), the religious mind of condemnation is also at work trying to find a part of you that can be condemned.

Have you ever tried to just sit and clear your mind. The instant you, all of these terrible thoughts and memories flood your mind. Next thing you know, instead of enjoying that peace you are occupied by these negative thoughts. This is exactly what this story is teaching us. That even when we are seeking the TRUTH, the enemy of our carnal mind is at work to distract us and tempt us to do wrong.

Adultery and Prostitution in scripture is always a symbol of cheating on God, or leaving God for the ways and thoughts of this world. A cheating spouse is the perfect picture of mankind’s soul who leaves the husband of truth for another.

Jeremiah 3:8
And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also

Within us our carnal minds are always at work trying to usurp power and control over love. The carnal mind is that voice of the adulterous woman, the harlot of Babylon, trying to get us all drunk and lead us into the bondage of sin (ignorance and suffering/ missing the mark of our true life.)

Just like the pharisees and scribes were on the look out for anyone to fall short of the law, within us our carnal minds are always pointing out people who do wrong and then try to convince us that they need to be punished.

Our carnal minds are so good at condemnation that this snake will convince you to lash out and then after it gets what it wants, it will then bring you before the truth and condemn YOU for your actions. The enemy is indeed a roaming lion seeking whom it may devour.

But Jesus didn’t take the bait as so many of us would have. He refused to go along with the thought of condemnation. And if he did, he would be the next one on the chopping block. As that is exactly what the Pharisees and Scribes wanted.

But Jesus walked in forgiveness which makes it impossible to condemn another, much less someone who did not offend him personally. Jesus understood as we should, that people don’t do bad things because they know better. They do bad things because they “Know not what they do.”

6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

Now look at the wonderful symbolism here. The Pharisees and Scribes tempted Jesus to condemn the woman so that they could in return ACCUSE HIM! This is exactly how our carnal minds act. They pump us up with thoughts of revenge, only to make our lives harder and to condemn us all the more when we go along for that pernicious ride.

Now how did Jesus handle this? … He stooped down. The TRUTH always has to come down to the level at which the people are able to grasp it. He didn’t stand above them saying how wrong they were. He took a submissive position so they would hear him. No one will listen to another if that person comes across as a cocky know it all.

Jesus came down to their level, and when he was there, that is when he began to teach them. By placing his finger (authority of truth and love) on the ground (their souls)… The symbolism of placing a finger on the ground to write is wonderful.

7So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

These simple words have such authority. Which is why we see Jesus LIFTING UP HIMSELF. This is a picture of the TRUTH being raised within those who did not know better.

Simply saying, “he that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone.” speaks to us all. Not only does it say we all make mistakes and should forgive, but it gives us the freedom to forgive ourselves for our actions… because we all make mistakes.

When you realize that we all make mistakes because we do not know better it is so much easier to forgive those who do us wrong. We cannot stand above others in judgment when they do wrong, because we have done wrong too. And when we learn this we begin to see ourselves walking it out in our own lives.

8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

When we see that we are no better than others we begin to act that way. We begin to see that we are all in this together, what we do to one we do to ourselves and in learning this we begin to make better choices.

10When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

When the TRUTH of God is lifted up WITHIN US, we understand there is never anyone who can truly condemn us, accuse us, or hurt us. In addition, by knowing this, we learn that we no longer have to condemn, accuse, or hurt anyone in return… Much less ourselves.

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. 12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

We are forgiven people so we must forgive! We all have made mistakes, we all have, but it is time to let it all go. It is time for us to forgive those who have done us harm and forgive ourselves for the harm we have done.

Our sins are forgiven, and when you know this… THERE IS NO ONE THAT CAN CONDEMN YOU ANYMORE.

I may have made mistakes in the past and rushed to judgment because of things that were done to me, but I can let that go… because back then I knew no better. And now I know better, I will take it one day at a time, and pray that I walk in forgiveness always, because without it I will never truly find peace. And neither will you.

MESSAGE TO CRITICS

A MESSAGE TO CRITICS

When there is great light in the land, shining above the darkness in the world, the darkness looks toward the light and hates it. Because this light shows the darkness that their ways are evil. It shines in darkness and the darkness cannot understand it. The light has joy, and peace, and hope, with excitement and pleasure… While the darkness sees all the is wrong, is angry, bitter, ill, moving and never still, the darkness is the hell that has become of their life.

This is the allegory of Jesus. Jesus, was a symbol for the way a life is meant to be lived. A life that affects other lives, a life that gives life instead of taking another’s peace and enjoyment away. Jesus was a symbol of a life that loves, is patient, kind, just, a life that has no fear, no doubt, no shame. The LIGHT that Jesus is called, is the illumination one receives when they decide to lay down their egos, when they DIE to the way they have been living and are BORN AGAIN. WE ARE CALLED out of the darkness by this GREAT LIGHT which enlightens us to who we are and what we are capable of. The light is meant to shine in darkness.

2 Corinthians 4:6
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.

When this light shines in our hearts, and our life becomes the message of love… We are truly born again. We as the scriptures say, we were once in darkness as well, until the day-star rose in our hearts… and we also realized that the life we first lived was far more grievous than the life after being BORN AGAIN… born of TRUTH!

Revelation 2:19
I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.

Somewhere along the line, we lost what it was like to be children at play. When the light of truth shines within us we understand it is available to us again, if we love. Born again, is the symbol of creation itself. To be born again of incorruptible seed.

1 Peter 1:23
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

And what is this SEED that is incorruptible and what does that mean? Well the SEED is the WORD OF GOD!

THE TRUTH CANNOT BE CORRUPTED BY LIES!

Luke 8:11
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

YOU ARE THE WORD OF GOD! For the word of GOD is the very light within us all.

1 John 2:14
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

And when you know the TRUTH and you are born again of an incorruptible seed, which means you now operate out of the TRUTH and LOVE always, forever, without ever sinning (falling short, suffering) again… You BECOME that LIGHT, the LIGHTS THE WORLD! And today is the day when we are to SHINE BRIGHT regardless of how many in darkness, who cannot understand it try to make it go away.

This is the goal… the mark… the high calling… TO LIVE A SPOTLESS, JOY FILLED, LIFE… seeing everything as a means to an end, and enduring every trial knowing that it produces a far greater understanding and joy than ever experienced before.

Philippians 2:15
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world

Which brings me to the crux (cross) of this paper… We have tapped into something here. We have come together, the littles ones, the forgotten ones, the un-important ones, the un-cool ones, the unacceptable ones, the fat ones, the skinny ones, the poor ones, the suffering ones, the sad ones… we are the ones that society would call fools…. Isn’t that true? Don’t many who know your heart and your desire to learn more, think you strange or weird for what you believe, or know to ne true? Don’t you also get mocked, attacked, ridiculed because of what you believe… Isn’t it funny how those around you, who you only try to lift try so terribly hard to tear you down? Well my friends, we are those who society deems as fools, and these fools in their eyes were born to share this LIGHT!

Matthew 11:25
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

There are those who are WISE in the ways of this world… As the SERPENT was considered WISE. And we are like babes, we appear so very weak, while the wise and prudent appear so very strong. However, we are meant to be AS WISE as the serpents (liars) in this world seeking to put out our light. We are like sheep right now… So we must also be WISE in the ways of this world, while still being HARMLESS as a DOVE.

Matthew 10:16
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

We are vessels of peace and righteousness (right thinking). And the only way we can overcome the evil in this world, and in our life is to overcome it with good. We MUST love and forgive and never GO DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL… we must understand that THOSE IN DARKNESS KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!

Luke 23:34
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

And when we do, when we LOVE and “Overcome Evil With Good-Romans 12:21” then they will PART OUR RAIMENT… Then EVEN AS WE HANG FROM THE CROSS OF THEIR AFFLICTION they will TAKE SOMETHING FROM US!

This, this is why I have been putting myself out there. Why I had to leave my job in television, why I had to let go of everything I had accomplished in this life to pursue this ONE GREAT THING…. TRUE LIFE, ABUNDANT LIFE!

Matthew 13:44
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

So the fact that people crawl out of the wood work to tear me down. A man who is not a pastor, not a Rabbi, Not a Guru, nor one who loves to shout out a title, or have their names in light… I chose a pen name, an allegory for every man, chose a simple day job, sold all he had to focus on this very important thing… SHARING THE LIGHT WITHIN US ALL!

The irony is there are many people who will say everything they can to tear down this KINGDOM they believe me, and others to have… Yet, the Kingdom I Have is WITHIN… and people can see that on me. They ignorantly will then decide that because of this light that shines within me… I MUST BE PHONEY… Or they tell themselves, I am weird, or a freak, a nut job, a cult leader, demon possessed… they say, Look at that guy writing about how blessed his life is, he is so full of it!… And so those in darkness begin to wage a war on a man who simply wants to live the light and share the light…. but deep down they hate me, because something about what I post and share makes them angry they can’t see what I see, experience what I experience, or live the way I am living.

They don’t know that I have had a life paved in suffering. That I began poor, ill, abused, abandoned, picked on, feeling like an outcast, lost, alone, they don’t know that I was diagnosed with a terrible disease that almost took my life and took many of my tears. They don’t know that the ONLY REASON I am where I am today is because of this LIGHT that I now freely share… FAITH! I am where I am because I BELIEVED ONE DAY I COULD BE and I would NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!

I said I wanted to write a movie, be in a movie, it made no sense that such a thing was possible but soon I did. I wanted to run my own theater company and soon I had plays off broadway, than I wanted to write for television and I wrote and produced one of the highest ratings shows in history of television, than I wanted to have my own show and soon I did, then I wanted to do “christian TV” to begin to share the message in my heart secretly… and that is just the beginning…. This blog, my novel, my videos, my radio show… these were all my dreams, my desires, I am not a wealthy man, I am a man who lives pay check to pay check, but all I have is a miracle and today I am happier then ever before. I had everything, I lost everything, I built it back up again and lost it all again, all of these things were my creations, along this journey that I have been on. To come to you and share what I am sharing. The years of acting training, the writing for TV and Film, the producing of award-winning television, the novel, all of it, my whole life has been building to this point. And your whole life is doing the same. FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!

So this is a message to my critics… I AM WHO I AM… and I will not change, because I NEVER CHANGE! What I have, you have, and it does NOT COME BY MATERIAL GAIN!

Acts 8:17-19
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

Many think you can BUY this message, as the messages in the world today. But as my friend says, “The message of love don’t sell.”

20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money

Many in darkness will find ways to KILL YOU if you are in the light… which is an allegory for SLANDER to make your life of no effect. They will use all sorts of fiery darts (which are hurtful words birthed from lies). Yet, it is this faith that we have… a faith of hope, love, forgiveness, peace that protects us against the “slings and arrows” of those in darkness.

Ephesians 6:16
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

Those unhappy and those who are not content in their life, will always mock and tear down those who seem to be happy and content. The Darkness hates the light because it shows them their ways are evil.

Lately, I have been trolled and attacked by people who see my JOY and LIFE as achieved by wealth… Well, sorry to inform you all, that you are mistaking THE LIFE I LIVE with riches… Remember it is easier for a camel to get through the eye of the needle than a wealthy man enter the Kingdom of God…. The ego man must be beaten down so much for the spirit man to rise and be birthed again out of those ashes. Wealth, and an easy life does not make one question the point of it often. In fact the scriptures state…

Acts 14:22
Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

So you are NOT jealous of what I have or physically possess, you are jealous of “WHO I AM”… Because WHO I AM doesn’t make sense to you. Because you don’t believe that you are in control of your life. You see this man who shares freely for years as someone who is doing this for financial gain (failing miserably if that were the case). Rather I am not a pastor, not an evangelist, I don’t have a church, nor do I have many that have supported my website, blog, radio show, video, and novel… There are those who do, and for them I am so grateful. But as I said earlier, NO ONE CAN BUY WHAT I WRITE… and most are used to purchasing something, as opposed to supporting it. Of course, I would love for my novel to become a best seller and offer me the opportunity to simply live as an author, speaker, etc. But I wrote the novel, to share a hidden message within it. The Novel was all part of the plan.

Now, that said, because it did not become a best seller, I had to then find another way to share these things I had learned over the years. Knowing, in doing so, there would be great loss and ridicule. Yet, I pressed on, because I knew it all had to be, because I DESIRED IT TO BE, and so Jacob’s Ladder was born!

For now, I am completely content where I am, and with who I am. I don’t need millions to affect millions, what I share is changing the world because it is my desire to do so. Just as it was my desire to offer my novel to free for whoever asks, or speak for free, or for everything I offer for free. Hundreds of essays, countless hours answering emails and responding to those in need, videos that will appeal to all sorts of walks of life, a radio show that tens of thousands listen to, a blog with thousands and thousands subscribe, and yet less than ten people have ever donated to help me, nor was that ever the point of this all. Not to say, one day, this website won’t pay for itself, as this audience grows daily…. So until that day, I use my money, and those who have supported me over the years, my time, my everything to offer what I offer completely FREE. My daily inspirational poetry as well.

So I thank you all who comment, who share these essays, who faithfully reach out and tell me and others just what these words mean to you. Thank you to those who have supported this site financially, it means so much to me and my family. Because one day, everything is going to change for us all and for the lives of even those who attack us and tear us down.

So I answered my critics in a fun way, to show them that even real world advice has a great spiritual message to it. Also, because I wanted to laugh and help others to laugh while sharing a neat trick that helps a person boil the perfect hard-boiled egg… So please enjoy this video and remember that the LIGHT may not be accepted in the land right now, but that is changing… and just as there was a time when you didn’t believe and you were given mercy and the truth, to believe what you now know to be true… so will they.

Romans 11:25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Thank you and enjoy the video… please do subscribe and share this website with others.

FISHERS OF MEN

FISHERS OF MEN

Mark 1:17-18
17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 And STRAIGHTWAY THEY FORSOOK THEIR NETS, and followed him.

In the gospels there is a wonderful story about how Jesus found men toiling under the sun trying to catch fish, but only catching some, with their nets.

Many have taken the story to mean that Jesus came over and told them that they should give up on their careers, follow him and spread the gospel instead. But this my friends is not only what this story means. In fact, what the revelation of this story could mean for your life is quite profound.

You see, not everything that you read about in Scripture is as it seems. There’s a hidden treasure that when revealed can change the very lives of those who read the stories to begin with.

For those of you new to “Jacob’s Ladder” you will find much of what I write here deals with the hidden mystery of scripture. For it is the SPIRIT of the scriptures that give life (enlightenment) to the reader. As the apostle Paul wrote, “the letter/literal kills”. The MEANING/SPIRIT of the story teaches a person something, while focusing on the literal aspects of the story (which were never meant to be taken that way) kills the very LIFE/ENLIGHTENMENT found within the revelation of what that story means.

So much of what we read in the scriptures are an allegory. Which is why Jesus said clearly to his disciples in the gospels, “it is given to you to know the MYSTERIES of the Kingdom of God and unto them who do not have this insight ALL THINGS are shared in PARABLE”.

Now does this all mean that there were not literal events that happened that we read about? Well, that is not really the point is it? What REALLY matters is what a person gains from the story. I often use the parable of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” to illustrate this point. It does not matter whether there was a boy or a wolf, what matters is the SPIRIT of this story, which is of course that one should not lie or exaggerate.

The same is true for the events surrounding these “Fishermen”. It does not matter whether there were literal fisherman or literal nets, what REALLY matters is WHAT THE STORY MEANS FOR US. What TRUTH is hidden within these verses. What is it that “GOD” is trying to say hidden within the context of these stories? That is what matters!

After all…


It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. (Proverbs 25:2 KJV)

The TRUTH is hidden within these stories and it is our great honor to find these treasures for ourselves. The revelation of which, comes only when one looks beyond the literal story until the spirit of the story clicks within and is revealed. When this happens it is like the “lights go on” and one finally understands the depth, and freedom, of the revelation that was once hidden within what seemed to be a pretty cut and dry story or a man telling a bunch of other men to follow him.

Now when this revelation hits it is like a LIGHT finally shining in a dark place allowing an individual to finally move about with the confidence, and wisdom, of where they should go next.

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (2 Peter 1:19-21 KJV)

Now I do want to point out that the truth can’t be forced. It must come from deep within, it must be revealed. And when the TRUTH is revealed it is like being healed of blindness spiritually. The TRUTH gives SIGHT to the blind, EARS to the deaf, strength to the lame, a tongue to the mute, brings to life what has been dead/ignorant, casts out the lies/demons that possess men and women, and much, much more.

We see this happening time and time again with every “miracle” Jesus performed. It DOES not matter whether they were literally healed or not, what mattered is that they HEARD THE TRUTH and UNDERSTOOD THE TRUTH.

Colossians 1:27
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

So it is the TRUE MEANING of this story that I wish to share today…

What does it really mean? Why did these men leave their chosen profession and forsake their nets? Are their nets symbolic of something else? Are the Fish A METAPHOR for more?

The answer to all of these questions is YES, YES, AND AMEN!

For years we have taken this story to mean that men and women everywhere should leave everything BEHIND to go out and preach the “message” their particular church says people must adhere to. Basically, bad religion has given people the idea that they should give up on all of their responsibilities to further religion’s agenda/message. Because “saving souls is more important than time with your family, friends, interests, or current employment.” The irony found when Jesus tells the bad religious elite… Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. (Matthew 23:15 KJV)

Bad Religion takes scriptures and twist them. Scriptures like Luke 18:29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, 30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. … Bad Religion has used these scriptures to manipulate people into focusing on serving bad religion and bad religion alone regardless of how many families or lives are torn apart in the process.

And the ignorant fish in the sea take the bait and believe these passages are literal… but as Paul states, “These things are allegory!”

Sadly, people today have taken these things literally and have used even these scriptures to justify not living up to the responsibilities of being a parent or spouse. A great example of how the LETTER/LITERAL kills.

The tricks, snares and nets of religion can convince people that they would be rewarded for such nonsense like leaving jobs, homes, family and friends behind to serve Bad Religion’s version of the Kingdom of God. Which they present as some FUTURE award… when the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AND GOD has always been and NOW EVENT.

Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

The salvation of our souls is finding this RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, AND JOY within us. This is HEAVEN ABOVE. A higher form of thinking. RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY are not found in selfish ambition, but by LOVE! If truth be told this HEAVEN that Bad Religion is selling today does not exist!

BEHOLD THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS WITHIN YOU. The POWER AND WISDOM OF GOD (Christ) saves us from the lies/nets bad religion has cast upon us to control us.

In Isaiah is the best example of what HEAVEN, and what EARTH, is…

Isaiah 55:9
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

HEAVEN = God’s Thoughts/TRUTH = PEACE
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

EARTH = Man’s ignorant/carnal thoughts

God has thoughts of peace, power, and a sound mind. God does not give us the SPIRIT OF FEAR, yet man’s ways are below God’s ways… And one of the greatest NETS Bad Religion has used for far too long is FEAR. “Do this or that OR ELSE!” But the TRUTH delivers us from these nets, as Jesus delivered these men from their nets.

It is the TRUTH that sets a person free. No NET is needed to DRAG anyone to the truth. It’s YOKE is easy, it is not the NET/YOKE OF RELIGION which is a heavy burden. Jesus said, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28 and again when Jesus said… For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:30

THESE NETS THE FISHERMEN WERE USING BECOME THE YOKES AND BURDENS we all suffer with today. Which is why we are told to… Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14

There was no joy, peace, and righteousness/right-thinking found in casting net after net into the sea of ignorance we call this world for these men. This is the reason that when the TRUTH (Jesus) appeared to them they were ready to FORSAKE their nets once again for all and become fishers of men!

So it becomes clear, the story of the fishermen leaving their nets behind to follow JESUS is a symbol of so much more. Every piece of this story is rich in meaning and hope. These NETS have more to do with the lies of religion and this world than literally catching fish as you will soon see.

As Micah recalls…

Micah 7:2
The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright/honest among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a NET.

You will soon see these NETS are everywhere today, and they mean one thing for those caught and that is DEATH/SUFFERING. While the captors can enjoy the spoils of the catch (their money and devotion).

You see these FISH HAVE GOLD INSIDE! Controlling people means more than just devotion and blind faith, it means their wealth is your wealth. BAD RELIGION knew this and JESUS KNEW THIS.

Jesus proved this point when the religious leaders demanded temple tax and he told his disciple to catch a fish (which you will soon see is an ignorant person) and take the gold from its mouth.

Matthew 17:27
Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

BAD RELIGION wants that money, and to get it you had to HOOK or SNARE one of the ignorant fish/people in the sea to do so.

Let’s talk about some of those NETS
1) Net of FEAR- HELL, DAMNATION
2) Net of PRIDE – you are better than others
3) Net of Prosperity – You will be healthy and wealthy
4) Net of Power – You can become a super human
5) Net of future reward – You go to Heaven and it is all worth it
6) Net of Family or Friend pressure – If you aren’t like the bad religious you can’t be with them
7) Net of miracle healing
8) Net of prophetic words – people telling you they have heard from God directly

The list goes on and on… and they are ALWAYS CASTING THAT NET OUT ON THE WRONG SIDE

It’s all about money and power for the Bad Religious, and those NETS had to constantly be mended, because they were easily broken. Which is why in each encounter in the Gospels we see the fishermen either using their nets or tending to their nets. These NETS were important to their financial well-being. Yet, immediately following their encounter with this man Jesus they all left their nets. Mind you, they did not just leave their nets, they FORSOOK them.

Now why is this important? You may ask.

Well, these NETS by now you should see offer nothing in return but DEATH for fish. The NETS these fishermen were used to make their living is still practiced today, until the TRUTH shows up and shows them a better way.

Jesus came along and showed them THAT better way… the WAY… THE TRUTH… and LIFE! Jesus promised to make them fishers of men instead.

The difference being what Jesus offered did not mean death for these “fish/ignorant people” it meant life. And this LIFE was something that bad religion and politics has stolen away from them all.

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10 KJV)

So you see, those who have gotten the masses on their bad religious hooks, and caught the unaware in their bad religious nets only came to steal from those they catch and in return kill their true hope and peace.

Ecclesiastes 9:12
For MAN also knoweth not his time: as the FISHES that are taken in an evil NET, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

These thieves continue on this day using their lies and promises and fear to keep the ignorant FISH buying into their religious and political lies. These thieves who say as long as their FISH do as they say, give, obey, serve, make followers and don’t question, promise that when the FISH are finally in the grave they will finally enter the gates of heaven.

But these thieves that call themselves religious leaders offer nothing but the death of a fulfilled life. No one, and I repeat no one can enter into the kingdom of heaven under their rule. Mainly because they have twisted everything we read about in scripture into something else. They have created a fantastic narrative that only offers them the power and wealth they crave.

These thieves make false promises and put on grand shows tickling the ears of those who hear and like a net dragged in the sea anyone they catch finds nothing but promises that are never kept, pride, bigotry, intolerance, greed and much worse. One can never find Righteousness (right thinking) Peace, Joy and Power in corrupt thinking. And anyone who tries to enter into the kingdom any other way but through Loves gate and denying one’s self, the same becomes a thief and robber as well, who too will find themselves dragging the allegorical net trying to kill more in the name of a god bad religion made up.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:1, 10 KJV)

But Jesus showed them a better way. He revealed the truth to them and he did so using the bait of love and a more abundant life.

So right away they left their nets and followed him. They followed him not for worldly gain but for that peace that surpassed their current understanding.

I would like to state that they did not just leave their NETS behind to follow Jesus, they FORSOOK their nets!

That is quiet an interesting word used to describe them leaving their nets behind, if that is all we are meant to take from it. Let us look at what the word “Forsook” means.

Forsook in Greek – Aphiemi
Literal meaning: “to abandon, leave desolate SO ONE CAN GO FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER.”

This word, “forsook” offers us insight into the deeper meaning of the disciples leaving their nets to become “fishers of men”.

To get to the place of wisdom, to return to their first estate, to move from their current understanding to where they truly wanted to go they had to leave the LIES OF BAD RELIGION behind.

The apostle Paul spoke about this very thing, when he considered all he had learned from religion, all he had done in the name of religion, he called DUNG! Paul knew the snares and nets of bad religion as well as anyone. Paul and well as David knew how deadly these NETs could be. He knew a NET of LIES cast unto the ignorant fish of the world, meant death and hell (ignorant suffering)for the people.

Psalm 35:7,8
For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

The “FISH” by now, you should understand are symbols of the ignorance holding MEN AND WOMEN EVERYWHERE captive. It is their carnal ignorance.

Jesus compared ignorant men and women to FISH, when promising to make his new recruits “Fishers of Men”.

Jonah was swallowed by a GREAT FISH, and resided in the FISH’S BELLY for three days much like Jesus did in the belly of the EARTH. Here we see a connection that must be made. The first obvious connection is that the belly of the fish is also a symbol for the belly of the earth, which we also now know from earlier, is also a symbol of MAN’S CARNAL WAYS AND THOUGHTS. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Gods ways higher than man’s, God’s thoughts higher than man’s thoughts.”

Jonah is an allegory of the SPIRIT MAN trapped within the IGNORANCE OF THE CARNAL MAN (fish). Look also what the BELLY OF THE FISH is called by JONAH… HELL!

Jonah 2:1-3
2 Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly,
2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of HELL cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

In this verse we see the Fish’s Belly also called the belly of HELL. We know that HELL is the word used to describe the suffering that accompanies ignorance. The FISH are those that are ignorant and lost to the ways of this world (lust of eyes, flesh, pride of life).

We also find that Jesus was found in the belly of the EARTH.

Matthew 12:40
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the fish’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

We are also told that when Jesus died he entered HELL (Ignorant suffering) to set the captives free in 1st Peter 3.

THE BELLY is also a punishment for the SERPENT (carnal ego man) who goes about on his belly digesting only dust/lies. The BELLY is a great symbol for the “womb of the carnal mind”. The BELLY of the FISH is a person’s carnal lust and ego. This is why we see the lying serpent cursed to go about on his belly.

Genesis 3:14
And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

THE BELLY is a symbol for the “womb of ignorance and carnal thinking” indeed as Job puts it… Job 15:35
They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their BELLY PREPARES DECEIT.

But just as JONAH was freed from his ignorant hell, just as Jesus was freed from the sins of the world that cast him into the depths of the earth/hell/grave, just as these fishermen were delivered from their miserable lives, so also are we when we stop trying to rule over others, make money from others, or get others to do what we want them to do. The instant we forsake the NETS of our past and become fishers of men ourselves by sharing the truth without wanting anything in return, then the heavens open up and we find the rest Jesus promised.

There are those who kill their FISH – The bad religious do this. There are those who fish men out of their ignorant despair and offer them life and hope.

When Jesus asked them to follow him he was leading them to the kingdom of heaven, and I pray we can do the same for others! Which are we? Fisher of Men or Killers of Fish?

John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

IT’S TIME FOR THE FISH TO COME OUT OF THE WATER! IT’S TIME TO HELP OTHERS WALK UPON THE WATERS INSTEAD OF DROWING IN THEM… ONCE WE PULL THESE FISH OUT OF THEIR IGNORANCE, THE HEAVENS WILL OPEN UP AND THEY TOO WILL KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF.

Matthew 3:16
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

It’s time for Bad Religion to forsake their nets, let’s help them all become fishers of men by showing LOVE!
