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

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!

GREATER THINGS!

Jacob Israel5 Comments

GREATER THINGS!

The things I am about to share may be hard for many to believe, but this does not mean that what you find in this paper is not absolutely true. For what I am going to share comes from more than just decades of study and revelation, it comes from experience.

So I want to state, right at the top of this essay, this may not be for you. That’s not a bad thing if it isn’t. I simply ask that if what you begin to read makes you angry, turn the page. But I also want you to know, that without a shadow of a doubt, the things you read today will one day ring true if they haven’t already.

It is my belief that one day everyone will come to the unity of the faith and the complete understanding of who and what we are, what we are capable of, as well as finding out what the elusive “meaning of life” is.

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 mean time if these words be not for you today they will be tomorrow.

The scriptures state there is a time appointed for each person to come to this wisdom. Just as there is a time for a child to learn his alphabet or multiplication table, so too, in mankind’s appointed time everyone will wake from their slumber into the glorious liberty of who they truly are and what they are truly capable of.

Nothing I write, say, or do, can change a person’s heart, only love and a person’s appointed time can. So to try to force someone to see what they are not ready to see is fruitless at best.

Now, if these words ARE for you, then rejoice!

In addition, if there are some who are not ready to hear what you hear, or see what you see, than do not think that they are somehow less than you. As Paul said, there was a time you were blind to all of this as well.

For those with ears to hear, they must not think that they have somehow arrived and others have not, lest they should fall into the sin of condemnation. And once we begin to condemn others, so begins our descent again into the depths of the very ignorance that has brought us all so much pain.

What a person believes, they receive. How a person judges another to be, brings that judgment on themself. Because we are all part of ONE BODY, we are all connected, what we do to others we do to ourselves. This is why we are instructed to “do unto others as you want done to yourself.” So if you judge people to be evil and cruel in your heart, your payment will be that people are evil and cruel. You will soon see that your thoughts create and you are capable of great and terrible things. This is why we must learn to take our thoughts captive. We must learn which thoughts to nourish and which to cast away.

Proverbs 23:7
For as a person thinks in his heart, so is he!

Whatever world you believe you are living in, this is the world you are living in and nothing, and no one, can change that… BUT YOU.

Right now these words may not really make sense to you, but after this essay is complete you will see that the power to do all things is, and has always been, within you!

So, to judge others for not knowing what you now know, is to lose the next step in your spiritual evolution. Eventually, all will come to the knowledge of the truth and the stature of the perfect man… WHY? You ask…

BECAUSE THAT IS WHO WE ALL TRULY ARE! And even if we don’t believe it, it does not matter, because we CANNOT DENY OURSELVES!

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

Eventually, all will come to the understanding of the enlightened. The reason we know this is because THE ENLIGHTENED FIRST knew this, which means they are a FIRST FRUITS OF SORTS.

When planting vegetables before all your vegetables are harvested there is a first stripe… a couple of those green beans will sprout and be ready to harvest, before the rest. This is how you know that what you have planted will become what you intended them to be, IN THEIR ENTIRETY.

If you understand the things WRITTEN HERE then PERHAPS YOU are as the first fruit of a crop that is destined to be holy in its ENTIRETY as well. THERE IS HOPE FOR EVERYONE!

So it is not good to think higher of yourself, or to think that you know more than another, or to condemn another in what they believe, because YOU ARE PROOF that they will also know what you know.

Romans 11
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

For some these words will be like music to their ears, to others they will be like hot coals on their head, yet either way these words will have their day.

Habakkuk 2:2-4
2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 For the vision is yet for an APPOINTED TIME, BUT AT THE END IT SHALL SPEAK AND NOT LIE: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

This is why I write what I write, not because I think everyone will agree with me or praise me. I share these essays because I am for some odd reason driven to do so, writing and sharing these essays also bring me a great amount of joy. I rejoice because I know that what I have come to know is true, others will come to know as true and I can put these words out there knowing people who are ready to hear them from all over the world will find them.

Mark 13:27
And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.

So I do not try to convert people. The Kingdom of heaven was taken by force for far too long. It is LOVE/Goodness of God that draws a multitude to repentance. It is LOVE that will set people free, not pages upon pages of insight, or long speeches or prayers… LOVE!

Romans 2:4
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

I do not tell others they must believe as I believe. I do not think that I somehow know more than they know. I am simply sharing the crop that has sprouted from my heart, who these words will fall on is up to who these words will fall upon. Whether they rejoice or reject these words does not matter to me. What matters is the WORD has gone forth from my mouth and it will not return without accomplishing what I sent it out into the world to accomplish.

Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

So who is it that understands the GREATER THINGS of God? And who are those who cannot and will not?

Well in every person, there are in manner of speaking, TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE and our journey here is to learn the difference between the two and to find out who we truly are.

The 1st man, is the ignorant man who may not understand the words written here… This man exists but you will soon find, he truly doesn’t. He is an image of a greater man, who we will call the 2nd man, who will one day put down the first man rise again in his stead.

I understand that what I just wrote seems difficult to comprehend, but keep reading and the great mystery of who you are will begin to unfold.

So let’s discuss the first man and the last man for a bit. The scriptures state, the 1ST will be LAST and the LAST shall be 1st into the Kingdom of God. Then the scriptures go on to say, this is why we must be born again, not of Flesh, but of spirit!

The FIRST US is ignorant, an image, a lie, a false identity… This is why we must be BORN AGAIN. When we were first-born we came into this world pure and then were filled with a bunch of lies, that made us believe we were someone and something we were not. This is why, we must be BORN AGAIN, we must once again become like little children to inherit the Kingdom of God! We MUST be born again of incorruptible seed (truth), we must live as we truly are and DENY the person we began to believe ourself to be.

Matthew 16:24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself,

We ALL must be BORN AGAIN! We must RISE out of the ignorance of our past.

Unless you are BORN AGAIN it is impossible to SEE/comprehend the truth and enter into the Kingdom of God to rule and reign!

John 3:
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

That which is born of FLESH is FLESH (1ST BORN)… the outward man, the ego man, the ignorant man who puts his faith in temporal things. The 1st man only believes in what he can see, touch, taste, and smell. This is a man after the Flesh.

We for far too long considered ourselves a flesh, blood, and bone being. However, who we truly are is actually within this FLESH, BLOOD, AND BONE BEING we began to believe ourselves to be…

WITHIN WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE IS WHO YOU REALLY ARE! AND WHO YOU REALLY ARE IS LIBERTY!

The ONE we believed ourself to be, was born after the Flesh. Now, mind you, the flesh is not a physical thing it is an IDEA that the physical thing is all there is. This is the FLESHLY MIND, otherwise known as the carnal mind… in truth, this is WORLDLY thinking.

John 8:23
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

The First man is from BENEATH (LOWER THINKING/TEMPORAL LOGIC), the SECOND MAN is from above (HIGHER THINKING/ENLIGHTENED) — those OF THE WORLD are lost… those who believe this temporal world is all there is and put their faith in it, ARE LOST!

The 1st man is the lowest form of existence and we are destined/predetermined for so much more.

The FLESH man is the man who lusts after the WORLD, WHICH IS THE VERY THING WE NEED TO BE SAVED FROM.

The “world” quite literally is a symbol for the LUSTS OF THE FLESH! The FLESH man, the 1st born man/Adam chooses DEATH over LIFE.

Romans 8:5
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh

This is why life is not fulfilling for so many. Because while trapped in this first carnal man, while lost in this lie of who you think you are, you only worry about the things that pertain to this first carnal man. Worldly things.

The first man is filled with fear, anger, hate, envy, greed, and more.

Gal 5
19 Now the works of the FLESH are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

When you are trapped in this first man and cannot see the truth of who you REALLY are in the SECOND MAN your life is more of a chore than a reward.

The first man exists in the hell of his own ignorance.

So, there is a reason many will not be able to “hear” the words contained in this essay. The FLESH man cannot understand the things of the spirit, which is life and truth.

John 3
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

Now the 2nd man is SPIRIT! That which is born or spirit is SPIRIT. Jesus said, my words are SPIRIT and they are TRUTH. The 2nd Man, the 2nd Nature within us, is the revelation of the TRUTH of who we really are and what we are truly capable of, which is what this essay is about.

The scriptures state that this 2nd Man is the LORD FROM HEAVEN… As I have written before, the word LORD literally translates into the EXISTING ONE… the 2nd man is the ONE WHO IS EXISTS IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, JOY AND POWER! This LORD, is not relocated to one specific man from thousands of years ago, that is the 1st Fleshly man’s teaching and it is a lie.

This is the “MAN” that I am going to write about today. The 2nd man… Christ, You, Me, and everyone in their RISEN/ENLIGHTENED state.

The second man who COMES (which literally means REVEALED, or UNCOVERED) and destroys the ANTI-CHRIST nature of the 1st man. The EGO that has ruled for far too long, sitting on the THRONE OF GOD, which is your MIND, declaring himself to be god. This is the 1st man, lost, corrupt, ignorant, and dead, for he is carnally (flesh) minded.

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

If you can draw the inference from the above passage, DEATH is the absence of LIVING YOUR LIFE IN PEACE. Sadly, this is the state of a majority of humanity. This is why we have war, famine, sickness, hate, and every other evil under the sun. But truly, those trapped in the thoughts of the ignorant first man, are ignorant, so they are not truly to blame…. They simply don’t know any better.

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

If the first man, knew the truth, the first man would have never put to the death WHO THEY REALLY WERE AND ARE!

1 Corinthians 2:8
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Had any of us known the TRUTH and had not forgotten it, we would have never crucified the GLORY OF THE ONE WHO TRULY EXISTS.

The TRUTH was put to death at Golgotha, the place of the skull… RELIGION AND THE LAW OF THE LAND killed the TRUTH, because if anyone found out that THEY THEMSELVES were the LORD OF ALL THINGS, the HEIR of all things, the CHILD OF GOD, then the FIRST MAN who is a killer (Adam, cane, Ishmael, Esau) would have never wanted the 2nd man, who is a shepherd (jesus, Abel, Isaac, Jacob) put to death.

THE LIES OF THIS WORLD tore us down and placed us in the chains of ignorance and limitation. Pictured in Jesus being given a CROWN OF THORNS (thorns which are the cares oe the world and the deceit of riches)

Matthew 13:22
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches

As JESUS took upon himself the SINS (cares/lies/ignorance) of this world and died… so did we. Which is why Jesus said, if you don’t do as I do, be as I am, think as I think, pick up your cross and follow me into the resurrection of who you truly are, then you are none of mine.

This is also why we have experienced so much pain and heartache. How can we enjoy our lives, if we are not living our lives as WHO WE TRULY ARE? This IMAGE of who we are needs to be put to death, so WHO WE TRULY ARE CAN RISE AGAIN.

John 1:15
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he (2nd Man) of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

So, once again, there are two men written about in scripture. These two men are symbols of humanity, first in its ignorant/immature/brainwashed state, and the second who is mankind in its enlightened state.

The first man, as scripture states is of the earth, earthy, which literally means, this first nature in man is focused on temporal things. Focused on everything outside of them, bills, work, friends, family, hobbies, nature, etc… While the second man is THE LORD from heaven above, who minds SPIRITUAL THINGS (focuses within himself, no longer looking for salvation outside of him or herself, for the Kingdom of God (where GOD IS) is WITHIN YOU!

However, the first me, and the first you, or should I state, the FIRST BELIEF YOU HAVE ABOUT YOURSELF is not spiritual at all.

We were brainwashed to think of ourselves more like animals doomed to die of old age or disease. We were brainwashed to believe we had no power of our own, that our only hope was to be found outside of us, coming again soon, from some far off, far away place. We were brainwashed to believe we were the lowest of the low, the foulest of the foul, sinners destined to burn endlessly because we were simply born.

1 Cor 15:
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we SHALL ALSO BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE HEAVENLY.

The first man, is ADAM formed from the dust of the earth, ADAM is a word which, as you should know by now, literally means humanity as a whole, it is all of mankind.

There is the 1st ADAM and the Last ADAM. We are both. We have borne the image of the fleshly, ignorant, natural man, and now we shall inherit the HEAVENLY, SPIRITUAL MAN.

The 1st ADAM became ignorant of the truth, and lost his true identity the instant he ate of the knowledge of good and evil… that first man was formed by the lies of parents, family, friends, neighbors, culture, religion, society, school, and so on. And woe are the ways of this first man.

However, there will come a time when the truth will be shouted on the rooftops and those DEAD IN CHRIST… meaning those who are IGNORANT OF WHO THEY TRULY ARE WILL RISE and understand these words.

But until that time, “the book is sealed”. This is why the scriptures compare the Kingdom of God to a mystery. A mystery that not everyone would be able to grasp right away. This is why the Kingdom of God is often compared to something that is HIDDEN within an EARTHEN VESSEL… The TRUTH OF WHO YOU ARE is hidden away in the LIES you believed about yourself.

2 Corinthians 4:7
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Who we REALLY ARE is HIDDEN within WHO WE THOUGHT WE WERE… So that the POWER OF GOD, may be OF GOD, AND NOT OF THE IMAGE OR IDEA OF GOD, which is who we have believed ourselves to be.

So many of the great truths of scripture had to be shared in parable. So that, “in seeing they may not see, and in hearing they may not hear”, as Isaiah stated.

Well, this essay is not for those who are scared to be kicked out of the synagogues as it was in Jesus’ day. No, this essay is for those who are ready to move pass their wilderness experience, cross the Jordan of death to self/image/ego, and enter into the promise land of who they really are and what they are truly capable of.

1 Corinthians 2:
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him

Hear we see again that people truly have not grasped the full weight of what, and who, God really is and who, and what, they are in relation to God.

“IF YOU HAVE SEEN ME YOU HAVE SEEN THE FATHER!”

Even the most skilled religious leaders could not see, and can not see. In fact most will attack and tear down anything they do not understand. Because if the words that they declare as false turn out to be true, then their whole foundation is corrupt and everything they have believed themselves to be is a lie.

This is why the scriptures state that “darkness (ignorance) hates the light (truth) because it shows them their ways are evil.

And even as we, in our ignorance, will attack and tear down the truth and fight to have it put death in the thoughts of others, as we saw with the crucifixion of Jesus, the LIGHT that we truly are still SHINES WITHIN US… EVEN IF WE DON’T KNOW YET WHO WE ARE and what we are capable of.

John 1:5
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

So I don’t take offense when people will state that what I have written is wrong or that I am somehow possessed by devils or other such nonsense, because I have come to a place where I understand these people are not doing this because they know better, it is because they don’t truly know what they do. They are still very much ruled by their carnal egotistical mind, otherwise known as the anti-Christ. The beast that is and is not and yet is. This anti-Christ is nothing more than an illusion that we agreed was US, when in fact this false ego blinded us to the glorious truth of who we REALLY are.

Now I have written extensively on what and who the anti-Christ is you can find these essays on this blog under the category, and “more essay” section.

However, to be brief in explanation, the antichrist is the You, you think you are but are not. As I said we were blinded when we came into the world, we took on a false identity and simply forgot who and what we were, and are. Then the “image” of who we were, the ego of who we are, took over.

Matthew 21:33
Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country

There is no spooky evil spawn of Satan who is going to rule in the world and make people take the mark of the beast literally. We already took the mark of the beast (ignorance) the instant we believed we were someone we were not.

The MARK of the beast, is a life of worry and dread. When you are ignorant of who you really are, you live as a lie and have no access to joy, peace, or purpose. There is no rest in a lie.

Revelation 14:11
… and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

There is no rest for those who believe they are what they are not. THE BEAST is the FALSE EGO of Man. There is no truth in this lie.

We missed the mark of who we really were and reduced ourselves to the likes of an animal, a beast of burden. The children of men, which is the 1st man, are more like beasts than anything else.

Ecclesiastes 3:18
I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that THEY THEMSELVES ARE BEASTS

Simply put, the anti-Christ that sits in the temple of God (your mind) declaring himself to be god (you) is who you think you are, but are not.

This ego has done everything to lead you away from the TRUTH. It even created another God for you to worship, a false God far away and tricked you into waiting for salvation. The Ego/Anti-Christ tricked you into thinking you are somehow far removed from this god, that your ego created. This anti-Christ/ego of yours has you putting your faith in everything outside of yourself. This EGO keeps you ashamed and makes you believe that you are unworthy of anything but ENDLESS TORTURE. This Ego/Anti-Christ tricks you into thinking IF YOU DO THIS OR DO THAT, than you will someday BE LIKE God… when you have always BEEN GOD TO BEGIN WITH!

Most people don’t even know that their salvation is deliverance from their own false identity. Most people don’t know that their salvation from their ignorance is ACTUALLY WITHIN!

“know you not the Kingdom of God is within”, “Christ Within You is the hope of Glory”

This ego/enemy of yours works diligently to keep you focused on everything but the very thing you need to focus on, which is of course finding out who you really are! This is why we find religions pointing you to someone besides your true self, and pointing you to the future and the past instead of the only things that matters… the Now, and the YOU!

We have been lied to people, and fear has been driven deep into our thoughts, as the thorns on the crown of Jesus were driven into his head. This is why I know many will not be able to agree with many of the words written here.

John 3
10 … Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

Did you catch that last line people… NO ONE ASCENDS TO HEAVEN unless that man first came down from heaven.

Now, here is where the fun begins.

We were lowered into this hell/ignorance so that we could also rise from it. For GOD so LOVED THE WORLD (the lusts of the flesh, lusts of the eyes, pride of life) that he GAVE his only begotten son…

You did the same. The idea of who you think you are, is a creation of YOU. You so loved this world that you created a child of your own and called this child YOU… and the TRUTH of who you were DIED (you became ignorant of) so that this IMAGE YOU CREATED could exist for a time.

And now it is TIME for THE REAL YOU to rise again, and DIE of who you THINK YOU ARE.

2 Corinthians 5:15
And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Only a few of you can grasp this… so I will further explain. Let’s talk about THIS IMAGE THAT HAS BEEN CREATED.

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

An image is a representation of something… It is NOT that something. In other words, the SON ( a title for the FIRSTBORN of EVERY CREATURE) is an IMAGE of the INVISIBLE GOD….

When the disciples asked Jesus, show us the FATHER, he said… “If you have seen me, you have seen the FATHER”….

Let us take that a step further, the FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE is the SON, not just JESUS… But the FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE… so it can be easily stated…

“If you have seen the FIRSTBORN of EVERY CREATURE you have seen the FATHER”

In 1st John, John declares, that AS HE IS so are WE in this world. Jesus is said to be the FIRST BORN among the DEAD, the FIRST BORN AMONG many brethren, THE first-born of EVERY CREATURE… This is a great mystery, because this is not speaking of ONE SINGLE MAN, but the WHOLE OF THE HUMAN RACE….

The “HIM” that is referenced in the next verse is the HIM that is WITHIN all of CREATION.

16 For by him (the firstborn of all creation) 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:

So ALL things were created by HIM and FOR HIM… and in Hebrews we see that GOD created all things THROUGH this “SON” which is the firstborn of all creation.

Hebrews 1:2
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds

This VERY SAME (Image/Son/Firstborn OF ALL CREATION) is appointed HEIR OF ALL THINGS… So the question we must ask, is this JESUS the man alone? Or is JESUS A SYMBOL of the FIRSTBORN OF ALL, ALL, ALL CREATION (mankind)… Meaning is JESUS simply a symbol for ALL OF US? As John states “as HE is, so are we”…. Well, THE SON is APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL THINGS…..

Romans 8:17
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Christ was a TITLE given to Jesus… a title and crown we also wear. So when you read that we are HEIRS of GOD and JOINT-HEIRS with Christ… this means we are the same. No one is greater than another.

WE ARE ALL HEIRS OF GOD… set to inherit ALL THINGS… All THINGS, which means, EVERYTHING! Everything that GOD IS AND GOD CAN DO… ALL THINGS! Whatever the FATHER has the SON will have.

First the SON will put his enemies under his feet, than the son will GO TO THE FATHER… which means the SON and the FATHER will become ONE and the same.

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.

Just as your children become parents themselves, so to you will become the very thing you always were. The HEIR as long as he is a child differs nothing from a servant or slave. This is written in the book of Galatians, although the (child/those immature in wisdom) IS LORD OF EVERYTHING.

We ARE God’s child… not just JESUS ALONE. Jesus is no better or worse than we are. He is simply the first-born among many brethren, like me, like you. An older brother is not greater than his younger more inexperienced brothers.

Romans is not the only place we see that we are ALSO THE ONE TRUE HEIR. ISRAEL which was an entire people, was ALSO CALLED God’s son… In fact, God said to Pharoah that ISRAEL was his FIRSTBORN.

Exodus 4:22
And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn!

Hhmmn, this is interesting because a majority of those in Christianity have been taught that the ONLY SON OF GOD was JESUS… This was another clever trick of the Ego of mankind. You need to let this go. Deep within you there is a fear that if you STOP believing this Jesus is your Lord and Savior you will somehow be damned, but what you don’t see is that you have damned yourself with these lies.

There is NOT ONE PERSON who is more special than another. Regardless of what religion has taught you. God is not respecter of persons. ADAM and JESUS are symbols of humanity in it’s two states, one is its ignorant state, and the other in it’s risen/enlightened state.

We know from scripture that the SON (children of God/creation of God/Image of God) IS THE HEIR OF ALL THINGS… which we found out was not one single man named Adam, or jesus, or even Israel, but EVERYONE because…

Romans 9:26
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are NOT my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

Despite what you have been taught by religion, whatever God wills, God’s will WILL be done… meaning, in the end, even those who seem to be so far removed from the understanding of who they are, even those who have been called enemies of God, WILL BE SAVED from their ignorance and will come to the UNITY of the faith… And BY UNITY I mean, the understanding that we are ALL ONE…. The FIRSTBORN AMONG THE DEAD, the FIRSTBORN AMONG ALL, ALL, ALL CREATION… is WHO WE ARE!

What God has planned cannot be undone. Whatever GOD wills WILL be done…

Isaiah 14:27
For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

Whatever you SET YOUR MIND to, whatever YOU BELIEVE is TRUE, WHO CAN CHANGE YOUR MIND? No one can… Whatever the LORD, which, once again, LITERALLY MEANS “THE ONE WHO EXISTS” has purposed, who can change that?

Now this would be bad news, if it wasn’t first set in stone that no one can fail. Because the LORD, the ONE WHO EXISTS WITHIN US ALL has already purposed that ALL come to the knowledge of the truth, that ALL will finally realize who THEY TRULY ARE and what they are TRULY CAPABLE of… which is ALL THINGS!

1 Timothy 2:4
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

WE ARE ALL HEIRS and LORD OF ALL!

Galatians 3:29
And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

The problem is, most people don’t get it yet. They don’t understand WHO THEY TRULY ARE… As Galatians states, even though we are HEIRS and LORD OF EVERYTHING (Which sounds like blasphemy to the unbeliever) we appear and think like children or ignorant slaves.

WE ARE THE HEIRS that DON’T KNOW IT… The FIRSTBORN of ALL CREATION.. you are the FIRSTBORN of all creation if you EXIST!

Galatians 4:1
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant/slave, though he be lord of all…

Read that again… We are the heirs, but if we are immature and ignorant of this, we seem like slaves or servants, even though WE ARE LORD OF EVERYTHING!

Remember GOD CREATES EVERYTHING through us, for us, which is why Jesus said… “With Faith ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE”

Now here is where it gets tricky…

If YOU can BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM that BELIEVES. (Mark 9:23 KJV)

All things are possible for THOSE who believe… Now catch this next part… Look and see who else ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE BY.

For with God NOTHING shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37 KJV)

All things are possible for God…
All things are possible for those that believe…

And again…

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. (Matthew 17:20 KJV)

For the person who has faith and believes… ALL things are possible!

And again…

And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. (Mark 14:36 KJV)

All things are possible with God
All things are possible for the believer.

God and the believer are ONE. “That they may be one, as we are one”, “I am in the Father and the father is in me”

All things are possible for the YOU! Because of who YOU really Are, you are the FIRSTBORN OF ALL CREATION, you ARE THE SON OF GOD, and the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD… BECAUSE GOD IS WITHIN YOU, CREATING THE YOU YOU THINK YOU ARE… But it is GOD WHO SEES THROUGH YOUR EYES AND GUIDES YOUR HANDS….

God LOVED THE WORLD so much that GOD gave his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON (who you think you are) so that YOU (who you THINK YOU ARE) MAY LIVE. BUT NOW IT IS TIME TO ARISE AND WAKE UP!

Psalms 82
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

You see people, GOD IS ALL THERE IS, and you are the manifestation of God, YOU ARE THE SON… by whom ALL THINGS ARE CREATED, which is why ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE FOR YOU if you BELIEVE.

17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

THE DEAD are those who FORGOT who they really were and had the TRUTH resurrected within them… CHRIST which is a title, is the firstborn among the dead/ignorant, the human race entered death (ignorance) so that we might overcome DEATH…

We became CORRUPT in our thinking and began to limit ourselves. We missed the mark of the high calling, which is that light shining in darkness, and we began to believe we were victims of circumstance. We forgot that we create our world, and everything was created by us, for us. But now it is time to wake up and put on the perfect mind once again.

1 Corinthians 15:54
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

When this happens we will LIVE OUR LIVES, and the death/hell (ignorant suffering) that has become of our lives will be swallowed up in victory!

As I stated earlier, no one ascends into heaven, unless they first descend into hell and forget who they are… We forgot who we were and died, but we shall also revive from our ignorance and take back what was once ours, and ALL THINGS WILL BE POSSIBLE.

Ephesians 4:
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

These are the GREATER THINGS Jesus spoke of. This is why Jesus said, “I can do nothing but the Father does all…” Because Jesus understood, as I understand, this IDENTITY we have right now is not WHO WE ARE, it is simply the vehicle in which God (who we are ONE with) chooses to exist in.

John 14:10
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

When you see yourself in the mirror, just who is that looking at you through your eyes?

The answer to this, is your salvation!

Much love to you and yours,
Jacob

PROVERBS 16

Jacob Israel14 Comments

PROVERBS 16

If there was one book in the bible that I had to choose to read from for the next hundred years, it would be the book of Proverbs. This book of wisdom contains some of the most profound and life altering teachings one can find. In many cases, it is the key to unlocking many of the mysteries of scripture. Proverbs is a road map to finding the Kingdom (Reign) of God (Spirit of Truth/Life/Love/Power) within, and it is a guide to peace, power, and a perfectly lived life.

With that being said, if there was one book in the Proverbs that I believed everyone should understand clearly, that book would be Proverbs 16. Within this profound simple chapter lies the answers we have all been waiting for. The advice given in this great chapter is a life changer. If the words of this chapter are taken to heart and understood there is no telling what you could do with your life. If one lives by the words written here, no one will be able to contain your joy and nothing will be able to stand in your way. This is why wisdom is called a tree of life.

Proverbs 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth WISDOM, and the man that getteth understanding. 14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. 16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her.

Wisdom in the scriptures is valued above all things… This is the TREE OF LIFE that we all circle around and pray to take hold of. It is WISDOM that breaks the chains of iniquity, wisdom that sets the captives free, wisdom that heals the broken and guides the lost. In all our getting, we are told to GET WISDOM!

Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Wisdom is the PRINCIPLE THING… The question then becomes, what WISDOM must we find?

Is it the wisdom to rule your life? The wisdom to co-exist with others? The wisdom to do what is right? … It is my belief, it is all of these and more. In fact, it is the WISDOM of the TRUTH, knowing the truth and having it operate in your life, that sets a person free. It is the WISDOM of who you are… who you REALLY are… and what that means.

Lately, I have been in deep thought over what I should next write to you all. Within me there was a desire to share something, something of great importance, but what that was I did not yet know.  Over the years I have learned not to force things. We must allow these things to come to us, we must allow the process of birth to take place first within and then when the moment of birth is come, that gift is then to be shared without. So, after days of waiting upon the LORD (the existing one, the one who truly exists) proverbs 16 came to me in a most wonderful way.

I quickly opened this wonderful chapter and began to read. It was then I knew I MUST share this with all of you. So, in this short essay I will, line by line, break this chapter down. Because it is my great hope that understanding these words will in fact change everything for you.

PROVERBS 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.

This first line is quiet interesting, it tells us that the LORD is in control of all things. The word “Lord” in this passage literally translates into “the existing One”… The ONE true Lord. The ONE that is all… As Ephesians states, One Lord, One Baptism, One Faith, One God and Father, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Notice the word, ONE? This means, God is all there really is. We are all ONE with this great spirit of creation. It exists in all, through all, and is in control of all. God is all that really exists. Yet we have all been blinded to believe differently. We have believed that our EGO is in control, and we have allowed our EGO to create new Gods for us to worship, our Ego tempted us much like Jesus in the garden, stating if we worship it, (which most do), then all will be ours… The problem is, the EGO is a liar and the father of all lies. There is no peace to be found in lies, only destruction. Because a LIE only seems to exist. When the TRUTH comes the LIE will be destroyed. This, my friends, is why we suffer.

Everything is from the LORD, yet we don’t believe this. We have allowed our EGO to take over, and we have been filled with fear and greed and lust and hate and every evil thing because of it. This is why we are tormented day and night, because the TRUTH of who we all are is FIGHTING TO BREAK FREE. We will either come to the truth and be broken, or we will be broken by the TRUTH of LOVE. You see, in the TRUTH there is peace but when one is ruled by lies, there is great torment. There is a great war within us. Our Ego fights to keep us focused on everything but the truth. These are the cares of the world (lusts) that strangle the truth. Our Ego keeps us running scared, because when ruled by lies and fear one cannot think clear.

Our FEAR is the root cause of all of our suffering, and there is great torment/testing in fear. Which is why we must embrace LOVE for all, because we are the ALL and the ALL is ONE. When we LOVE we are free, because there is no torment in love.

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Now why is LOVE so very important? The reason is simple, if there is only GOD and everyone is one with God, than what we do to others, we in fact do to ourselves. Let’s take that line of thinking a bit farther.

If you HATE your neighbor, you will experience hate. If you are not compassionate to another in their time of need, you will experience the same. If you judge, condemn, tear down, mock, hurt, rob, or murder another you will experience the suffering that goes along with it.

What you do to others, you do to yourself. This is why LOVE is the key. When we love we are patient, gentle, kind, long suffering, meak, we do not strive, we do not debate, we do not condemn, we do not fail, we overcome, we find peace, and we know God as God knows us, as ONE. When we LOVE we have no FEAR, because PERFECT LOVE casts out fear. There is power in LOVE, there is hope, there is inspiration, there is unlimited potential in Love. In fear, there is weakness, anger, regret, sorrow, envy, and every other evil thing.

The problem is we have left our TRUE LOVE, we have LEFT the TRUTH and followed after the LIAR. We have DIED to our true nature and now we suffer. We suffer because rebellion against the TRUTH brings fear and in fear their is torment. When ruled by the EGO, we are selfish and cruel, and we are hopeless. Sadly, we have become a people addicted to the torment of the EGO. We speak more of what we cannot do than what we can, we think more about what we don’t have than what we do. We are lost in the web of lies that the EGO has spun, and we (thinking we are our EGO) believes it is foolish to live any other way, or to think differently. This is the very definition of insanity.

2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.

When ruled by the EGO we think our actions are justified, but the ONE WHO TRULY EXISTS judges the thoughts and we are either justified by them or condemned by them. God is not mocked what ever a person sows they shall also reap.

3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

Scripture tells us time and time again that we must take our thoughts captive, to test these spirits (thoughts) to see if they are rooted in the LORD (the one who really exists/truth/love/peace), we are told what thoughts we should entertain… Thoughts of peace, hope, kindness, charity… When we commit ourselves to this, our thinking will change and we will operate out of truth instead of lies. Then we will have a bigger idea of who we are, and when we have this faith, all things will be possible.

Philippians 2:4-6
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

The same mind in Christ, is IN YOU… the same mind that tells you that we are equal to God, for we are ONE. In the Father and the Father in you… With this understanding, you will begin to see that you create the good and the bad that happens in your life.

Many refuse to accept this great truth. Convinced that the bad that happens is not our own doing, but that somehow we are victims of an outside force. Yet, the one who exists within you, who IS you, makes all things FOR YOU!

4 The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Notice, how the LORD MADE ALL THINGS…FOR HIMSELF! It does not state the LORD makes all things for his creation, but for HIMSELF… Because there only is GOD!

Everything we endure and experience in this life, is a creation of God… The good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly… The creative force within us creates all things through us, and for us. EVEN TERRIBLE THINGS. Because in the end, they will all have served their purpose.

We find in the scriptures that God created, and hardened the hearts of terrible men and women, like Pharoah so a great purpose could be carried out. And PHARAOH is an ALLEGORY of man’s EGO and HIS POWER IS YOUR SHAME…

Isa 30:3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

We have been slaves to our EGO and prisoners in the LAND of confusion and ignorance for too long. The only way out is to boldly declare the name of the LORD to your EGO… I AM THAT I AM… and understand that LOVE is your salvation. To understand that how you judge situations and people will become your experience….Because by how we judge we will be judged… Whatever YOU believe in your heart WILL BECOME!

5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

To exist out of your EGO is to be proud in your heart, and this is a recipe for disaster. You must understand who you REALLY are, cannot hate, and so when you operate out of anything but love, you will be rewarded with the same.

6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

LOVE is the key to peace of mind, TRUTH and MERCY destroys the sin (foolish thoughts) in your heart and keeps you from making the same mistakes again. Which in turn makes the life you are living here more enjoyable.

7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

You will find that when you are at peace with everyone, you have no enemies. But mankind has been tricked into believing the individual matters more than the whole. This is why we see war, poverty, crime, tyranny, abuse, and worse… The more you care for others, the more you will be cared for.

9 A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

Your EGO may convince you to think that who you are in this world is in control, but it is WHO YOU REALLY ARE that is bringing every one of your experiences into existence. Sow hate you will receive suffering. Make peace and you will know peace. Act selfishly you will always have want and fear. Live humbly and the world is yours.

10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11 A just weight and balance are the Lord’s: all the weights of the bag are his work. 12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness. 13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.

Our thoughts and words have power… OUR TRUE NATURE is LOVE… So it is an abomination to act otherwise. When we transgress who we really are, we create a false reality for ourselves, we create a hell, within which we must suffer. The power of life and death is in our tongue. Our words and thoughts have great power.

14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.

When we act out of ignorant rage, we create great hardship for ourselves… When we operate out of wisdom, when we operate out of truth and love we create peace in our lives… If only you could truly believe this, your whole life would change for the better, instead of creating a life of sorrow and pain.

15 In the light of the king’s countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

The LIGHT is a symbol of understanding, a person’s countenance is what is before and behind them, it is their experience, when we understand these things we find LIFE… and within this life is joy unspeakable. We must not act foolishly, we must no longer follow our fears and be snared by the lies of our ego. We must think before we speak, and we must test our thoughts before we set in our heart that these thoughts are true.

16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

To find the truth within you is the great treasure that has been hidden in the field, as the scriptures state. When we find this treasure we MUST rid ourselves of everything we foolishly valued before it. When we do we find REST!

18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

You may say you can’t forgive some, that some do not deserve your love, you may find that you want to hold onto past hurt feelings and say things like, I CANNOT FORGET OR FORGIVE… Well my friend this is the Pride that goes before the fall… You are setting yourself up for more heartache, more pain, more hate, more of the same. But to embrace love erases past wrongs and sets a person free.

19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Why is it better to put others, even your enemies above yourself? Because in so doing you lift yourself up out of your self created hell… we must embrace love to be free… How you think and act determines your experience and shapes your world…

20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

How you handle things decides whether you will find good or bad… it is all in your power. Whoever trusts in the wisdom of Love finds happiness, and will find never an end to what one may know.

22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

As above (what you think) so below (what you experience)… this is why the Proverbs state we must understand the power of our thoughts and words, and that the right words are sweet to the soul health to our bones. Now it may seem right to behave how everyone else behaves, to think the way everyone else thinks, but the world’s ways are not our ways… and when we act contrary to our nature, we suffer. Think of the torment of the drowning man who is meant to breath air, how he suffers if he tries to exist in an environment that is not natural for him. If we act out of our nature there are repercussions, and those repercussions are like the water flooding the drowning man’s lungs forcing him to return to his natural and perfect state of being.

Read these next lines and see how we actually imagine evil for ourselves because this world (our lusts) and the ruler of this world (our Ego) has convinced us that good is evil and evil is good.

25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

These four passages proclaim the state of mankind’s heart… we have been brainwashed to believe getting ahead of others is our right, that its a dog eat dog world, that nice guys finish last, and that the only way to happiness is the one who ends up with the most THINGS… We have been brainwashed to hate, to lie, to cheat, to do whatever we have to to get ahead… and this is why people hurt today. Because these terrible beliefs we bring to pass by believing this is just how things are. People plot, and scheme as to how they can get someone back for how they have been wronged. People plot and scheme and tempt people to be what they foolishly decided them to be in their hate filled hearts.

30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

Our EGO is the cause our suffering, it is that voice in our head saying… hate this person, get that person back, you will never be loved, you will never get ahead, you will never be happy… and when you believe these lies you bring this experience to pass. However, if you don’t… IF you take hold of the TRUTH and understand that… YOU ARE OF GOD… And who you REALLY are IS greater than who you think you are or have been… then you will know LIFE EVERLASTING!

1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

There is nothing that can hurt you but you!

31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

It’s time to RULE WISELY! It’s time to wake up to your RIGHTEOUSNESS! It’s time to let go of hate and fear and embrace LOVE AND TRUTH! Because in the end, it is ALL IN YOUR POWER TO DO SO… one way or another. It’s always been up to you… RETURN TO THE LORD (The one who really exists) and LIVE!

33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.

Peace to you and yours,
Jacob

The Devil Is A Lie!

Jacob Israel8 Comments

The Devil Is A Lie!

The truth of who we are has been hidden for ages. However, today many of us are waking up to the real possibility of peace, joy, and harmony. Below is a video called, “the devil is a lie” which I do hope you enjoy. At the very least it will provoke you to ask yourself, “is what I believe, true?”

In one of my favorite parables in scripture, the author describes the heart of man much like a wheat field. Sadly, like any garden, weeds also appear. In this parable, we are told that directly after the planting of the wheat (which is an allegory of the truth), tares were planted by an enemy.

While we slept an “Enemy”, which you will find is another word for what Freud called our “ID”, or as I call it, our “carnal ego” planted TARES. These tares of course are a symbol of lies.

Let me explain, WHEAT has SEED (truth) – TARES do not… And Tares can destroy the wheat if the field is left unattended.

So, we see a picture of mankind’s heart…. While the MAN or WOMAN sleeps (is ignorant, or unconscious to what is really going on) this ENEMY of TRUTH plants lies in their heart.

Now, when we were young it was hard for us to know the difference between the lies and the truth, this is why we learn in this parable that the messengers/angels were held back until the harvest to pluck the TARES/LIES out of our heart. Because until the TRUTH grows up and matures within us, it is very difficult to know the difference between a lie and truth. So, the story goes that the messengers were told to wait until both mature before trying to rid the field of tares, because if they didn’t the wheat might be lost instead.

This is a great revelation for us… because it tells us that there is a reason for the lies within the heart of man today. It also tells us that there is a time when the TRUTH matures that these lies will be done away with.

This is my hope.

This enemy that we find in this story is called the DEVIL. We know from scripture that the DEVIL is A LIAR, the FATHER OF ALL LIES, and that there is NO TRUTH IN THE DEVIL. This is also a revelation, for if there is no truth in something, it cannot ultimately be real, UNLESS WE MAKE IT SO.

This ENEMY has ruled this world for far too long, today the devil is revealed, it is a beast that is and is not and yet is, (as scripture states), this devil is WHO YOU IGNORANTLY THINK YOU ARE AND BELIEVE YOU ARE NOT!

This video called “The Devil is a Lie”, uses scriptures to explain how the Devil is not a spooky spiritual being outside of us, but it is the LIE of who we thing we are, it is MAN’S EGO… Let me share a couple of scriptures to illustrate this point for those who have not read my articles on what devils, demons and satan is…

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, (a creation of your EGO) and the lusts of your father (Your EGO) you will do. He (man’s ego) was a murderer of (the truth/who you really are) from the beginning (being born), and abode not in the truth (did not exist in the TRUTH), BECAUSE THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM (your ego).. When he (your ego) speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own (LIES): for he (THE EGO) is a liar, and the father of lies.

As stated earlier, IF there is NO TRUTH in the DEVIL (Man’s ID or CARNAL EGO) than that means the devil (your carnal ego) is not REAL and TRUE… Something cannot truly exist if there is NO TRUTH in that thing… This is why the scriptures states…

>Revelation 17:8 The beast (MAN’S EGO) that thou sawest was (Seemed to exist), and IS NOT (does NOT EXIST); and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit (ignorance has no foundation)…. when they behold the beast (EGO) that was, and IS NOT, and yet SEEMS TO BE.

I encourage you all to do a search in the scriptures for every scripture that talks of DEVILS, DEMONS, AND SATAN… you will find that this MURDERER OF THE TRUTH is compared to false beliefs, lies, made up gods, idolatry, an adversary, a condemner, a waster, a destroyer etc etc… the CARNAL EGO’S job is to DRIVE US back to the TRUTH of WHO WE ARE… Which is why the disciples turned unbelievers over to SATAN for the destruction of their flesh (lies/death) so their SPIRIT (TRUE NATURE) CAN BE SAVED…..

1 Corinthians 5:5 To deliver such a one unto SATAN (THE TESTING OF THE EGO) for the destruction of the flesh (THE CARNAL MIND AND LIES), that the spirit (THOUGHTS of LIFE, LOVE/GOD) may be saved….

Please do not just believe what others say, because this is another trick of the DEVIL (EGO)… Study to show yourself approved! Enjoy this video and please do share, subscribe, comment and support, peace to you all Jacob CLICK THIS LINK FOR THE VIDEO.

SEALS ARE LOOSED

Jacob Israel10 Comments

SEVENTHSEAL

FINALLY, THE SEALS ARE LOOSED!

1 Corinthians 2:7
But I speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God/I AM ordained before the world unto our glory

I’d like to welcome you all into my heart once again. A lot has changed over the years I began sharing openly here. However, never before have I been so excited.

If you know me, you know I love you, and this is why I do what I do. It is not profit, it has never been for gain, my payment is being able to put these thoughts out here and to see others who see what I have seen, and written, to share with the world.

You are my reward and my everlasting promise and for this I am grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read these words, and for communicating it’s message with those you see fit. Thank you for subscribing, and for sharing, and for calling, and for telling me how wonderful it is that we have all found each other, once again.

I want you all to know, that I am always available to you and for you, and those who know me, know this to be true. So please reach out if you would like, I am not some far away tickler of ears who only responds if there is something to gain. No, that is not who I am. I am who I want to be… Jacob… a man who simply wants to help others be set free from the thoughts that we are not.

So please enjoy this latest essay of mine. Let me begin by sharing a poem, that sums this paper up beautifully.


THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE DAY
They say, there will be a day, when some will be tricked into endlessly weeping and gnashing of teeth.
They say, there is a place of endless torture beneath, but this place is merely one’s lack of peace.
They say there will be a day like this for you and me.
However, we were born free and were tricked into thinking peace and joy was outside of us, you see?
Cast into this land, where ignorance has an upper hand, believing our ego is who we were born to be.
Tricked, fooled, deceived to allow lies and fear to rule, in a place where weeping and gnashing of teeth has become the experience of you and me.
You believe, you believe in those who deceive, and this is why you think salvation is far away, instead of knowing it is within you this day.
Outer Darkness is the darkness of living without instead of within.
This is the crown of thorns placed on the horn of truth that has been hidden by this great and terrible sin.
This is all your creating, this is all your imagination to begin.
You’re not the slave who behaves like your nine to five keeps you alive, no, that is not you, no, that is not true, that is what the ancients meant when using the word sin.
You have simply missed the mark, which is always in the center of the heart, which is love’s spark and keeps beats with the world.
You have believed you were simply a helpless boy or girl, lost in an unending whirl or worries, fear, and doubt.
This is why the herald shouts, “GO WITHIN, GO WITHIN, GO WITHIN AND YOU WILL FIND YOU ARE THE END AND THAT WHICHS BEGINS!” So arise oh sleeper and stop putting your faith in that which is WITHOUT!

I have titled this essay, “Let Us Make Man In Our Image”, then I changed to the “Seals Are Loosed” as I wrote it, as if I was meant to do so.

So let me start at the beginning, because if one understands the beginning they will understanding the end.

GEN 1
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

When I was a child I was taught, by people who presented themselves as knowing better, that this passage in Genesis meant there was some God out there in space, or another dimension, that looks very much like Santa Claus on Steroids and that he made mankind to LOOK LIKE HIM. That is what I was told the IMAGE of God was. An image many say is like a picture, or a painting, or something that basically LOOKS like something else.

Now where this theory falls apart is that the very scriptures we have been taught are the inspired word of said Creator, are infallable, which means if something in these scriptures says NOT TO THINK of GOD in such a way, we shouldn’t. In fact, there is a clear instruction in scripture against picturing God as this MAN in the sky who created us all.

Exudos 20
1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 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. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:

I want to point your attention to verse 4, where the “commandments” clearly state, not to make ANY GRAVEN IMAGE or LIKENESS that is IN HEAVEN ABOVE, or EARTH BENEATH…. – Meaning, we shouldn’t be picturing God like us, now should we? — And again in other places we find the same…

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.

Yes, that’s right, we have been tricked into believing in some God in the sky, who looks like us, acts like us, and thinks like us… which is why we have all accepted the HORRIBLE DOCTRINES of the day, like infinite torture, the rapture, the trinity, speaking in tongues, the list goes on and on…

Yes, God created man IN HIS IMAGE and then the IMAGE of God, created a GOD in the IMAGE’S IMAGE… (Hope that wasn’t too confusing.)

And my friends, this is the BONDAGE that is written of in the scriptures… Pictured as Egypt, Hell, the pit, the sea, and much more… The BONDAGE that we are RELEASED from.

Exudos 20
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

And what is that BONDAGE you ask?

The BONDAGE IS WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE BUT ARE NOT…. This is the beast that IS and is NOT and yet IS… your EGO!

The BONDAGE is our IGNORANCE, it is the FEAR this IGNORANCE (DEATH) CAUSES. It is our IGNORANCE that causes all of our pain, this is the very HELL we read about, which is also called the GRAVE, THIS IS THE CORRUPTION of man… But one day we will wake out of our slumber into the TRUTH of who we REALLY ARE.

Romans 8:21
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

That scripture that speaks of becoming incorruptible has nothing to do with getting super human bodies that never break down… we are not our bodies people… The CORRUPTION is the THOUGHT that we ARE and the BELIEF that we are SOMEONE AND SOMETHING we are NOT. OUR MINDS, our thoughts, have been corrupted.

This is pictured in the allegory of of Jesus being crusified at Golgatha… Jesus = TRUTH, LIFE, The WAY put to death at THE PLACE OF THE SKULL= YOUR MIND.

In between TWO THIEVES — These THIEVES are the TWO MEN AND WOMEN in your bed (body) — the ying and the yang, the good and the bad… You are neither good not bad, YOU SIMPLY ARE. You became CORRUPT (Ignorant of the TRUTH) the MOMENT you starting EATING from that TREE. Believing there is a good part of you or a bad part of you.

You see the THIEF is anyone who tries to get into the Kingdom any other way, but WITHIN!

You see we became corrupt the instant we forgot who we truly were and began to believe in this IMAGE that we are not. And out of this ignorance we created more lies to believe in, further pushing into the outer darkness of this thing here we call life. And in this OUTER DARKNESS. In this OUTER DARKNESS there is suffering, weeping and gnashing of teeth (anger/back biting/etc). We were cast into this horrible ignorance after we bought into the lie that we are what others said we are, and when we began looking for our salvation and peace OUTSIDE OF US.

What is OUTER DARKNESS?

Matthew 8:12
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth

The OUTER DARKNESS is the IGNORANCE that OUTSIDE OF US is where we should place out faith. And sadly, everyone does this. They WAIT for a SAVIOR outside of them, WAIT for a HEAVEN after they die, WAIT for a bank statement to feel secure, WAIT for someone to treat them right to feel loved, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT…

Everyone has been tricked into WAITING for something that is ALREADY AVAILABLE within them.

Luke 19:9
And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house

Once the TRUTH is revealed, the day of SALVATION is HERE! And what we need to be saved from is the false belief that we are something we are not, and that it is blasphemous and terrible to even think about who WE MAY BE…

The TRUTH to who you are is revealed… EVERYTIME you ask… “WHO AM I”… “I AM” is the answer… yet we have added more… We have said, “I AM (Jacob)”

Now how did this happen? Well I have written about this many times before, but let me further explain how this MAN named JACOB was created… FORMED FROM THE DUST OF THE GROUND

“Jacob” is a name given to me by parents, my experiences “FORMED” me into this man I know to be Jacob. There I was a little baby, pure, just out of the womb and within moments, my earthly mother and earthly father (OR LACK THERE OF) began to imprint me. They gave me my name. They said, “You are Jacob” but was that really WHO I WAS or WHO I AM?

Go up to anyone today and ask them, “Who are you?” and EVERYTIME they will say, “I AM Bob, or Helen, or Tyrel, or Eunice… BUT IS THAT WHO WE ARE?

The answer is unequivicably, NO!

And what is our reward for being misled, by OURSELVES/EGO… We end up sick, suffering, cast into OUTER DARKNESS/ignorance… This is pictured in every story of scripture… But watch, how even the most innocuous scripture… which means a scripture that seems less harmful or meaningless… That even a scripture we don’t pay much mind, below, is first read as if the only thing that mattered was that they LITERALLY HAPPENED… Oh, what foolishness to believe in the letter which kills the truth within, instead of the LIFE GIVING SPIRIT the story has to offer.

Read with blinders first…

MATTHEW 8
5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but SPEAK THE WORD ONLY, and my servant shall be healed.

No, we are not worthy of the TRUTH ARE WE? Yet, the truth is ALREADY WITHIN, it was already within for the centurian, he just needed someone to tell him the TRUTH/THE WORD!… the power to heal the illness that ignorance causeD was within… no need to go to anyone, OR WAIT ANY LONGER.

THE BLIND BELIEVE in stories of miracles and fairytales… like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and many other such tales… the reason this happened is because those in power locked the truth up. This continues today, the television, church, politics, news, tradition, etc, etc… the TRUTH which is hidden within the SCRIPTURES WAS LOCKED UP… sealed tight until the time appointed to be revealed to the masses to see. And that TIME is now.

Isaiah 29:11
And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed

This vision, is what a man who sees, believes about those who don’t believe….

Those that believe they are helpless, hopeless, and in need of rule or future salvation have NO VISION at ALL. They can’t see past their circumstances. The vision of who they really are and who they can create themself to be is nowhere to be found… As Isaiah says, it’s like it has been SHUT UP! Sealed, locked away, everyone has lost their ability to SEE THE TRUTH that has been HIDDEN from our once uninterested eyes… Until now…

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

You see, the TRUTH can be bought… BUT IT CAN NEVER BE SOLD…

In other words, you can BUY INTO the belief… but you can’t SELL IT! I cannot show you the truth, until you purchased YOUR FIELD… Until you KNOW that within this body and ego is YOU! Christ.. The POWER AND WISDOM of GOD/I AM. Oh friends, this is great treasure indeed.

The TREASURE of the word, which is TRUTH… the TRUTH which sets you free… the TRUTH of who is the GREAT I AM, and to NEVER TAKE THIS NAME IN VAIN… Now, see that with different eyes… You are given the NAME I AM, don’t take it for nothing… Don’t you dare BURY THIS TREASURE worried that you might lose it, or someone may steal it and harm you because of it. Today, is not the day for this… No, today is the day to GRAB HOLD of this treasure within! The treasure that has been hidden IN YOUR IGNORANCE.

Isaiah 45:3
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, I am the God of Israel.

Did you catch that?… Let me translate, or put into my own words, WHICH ARE YOUR WORDS…… “And “I” will give you truth of this ignorance, the wonderful truth that has been kept secret from you (who you think you are/ego), that YOU (who you think you are) may know the one who REALLY EXISTS, who actually gave you your name and believed it was all you were, is THE GOD OF ISRAEL!

But the day WHEN the BLINDERS and LOCKS ARE TAKEN OFF is the day we will all SEE THIS GREAT TREASURE.

This day is a WONDERFUL DAY. It is also great and terrible, because it is scary at first to hear who you REALLY ARE and what you are REALLY capable of. Before this terrible day, it was like the SUN was darkness, and the MOON was BLOOD, showing the violence and fear of ignorance played out on this world’s stage. That is what life is like BEFORE THIS GREAT AND TERRIBLE DAY!

Joel 2:31
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

But the DAY OF THE LORD — the day of the EXISTING ONE, which is what the word LORD literally means, is HERE and the SEALS have been LOOSED… As these seals are LOOSED, the blinders are taken off, the lies/demons are cast out, and this happens by the one who BRING THE TRUTH. It is the messengers power to explain these mysteries to you and set you free from them, as the messengers were once set free from.

Romans 11
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

This was ALL PART OF THE PLAN… The SON (mankind) was SENT INTO THIS WORLD to have their TRUE IDENTITY put death so that eventually the SON (MANKIND) could also raise from this ignorance and teach others to do the same… For we are ALL ONE… As Jesus was the firstborn among many brethren… we are ALL ONE CHILD – One CREATION — One IMAGE that is CONTROLLED and CREATED BY WHO WE REALLY ARE TO BEGIN WITH.

But this TRUTH has been sealed away, hidden, in the grave, and it must be RISEN FROM…
Pictured here in the book of Revelation…

Rev 5
2 … a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

Now, here is a GREAT REVELATION… prepare yourself for what you are about to see….

WHO IS WORTHY TO LOOSE THE SEALS? Is it JESUS? He was a man on the EARTH? Wasn’t he? Well what does that passage say about those in heaven and in earth?

3 And NO MAN in heaven (Jesus was in Heaven, wasn’t he), nor in earth (Jesus was in the Earth wasn’t he?), neither under the earth (Jesus went into hell, the pit, the grave didn’t he?), WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE BOOK neither to look thereon (UNDERSTAND IT).

Are you catching on yet? Is it me? Am I the one found worthy to OPEN THE BOOK? Is it Jacob?… Is it YOU?

Hang in there you’ll get it in a second, the seals are loosed by the one within us all, the one who is in control typing these words…. The ONE who came to SPLIT IN TWAIN AND MAKE ONE NEW MAN… And the TWO BECOME ONE, IN AN INSTANT IN A TWINKLING OF THE EYE… as above so below, whatever is bound in heaven is bound in earth, whatever you believe becomes! BECAUSE THAT IS WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

No ONE EGOMANIAC is worthy to open the book, NO ONE IS WORTHY TO KNOW THE TRUTH in the EARTH… because THEY DON’T EVEN EXIST! They are characters nothing more, avatars, like the video games the IMAGES created, in their image. Who you think you are is going to end, your body, your ego, is a creation of the SPIRIT OF LIFE AND CREATION WITHIN YOU… THE REAL YOU hidden in who you think you are, even giving life to this creation for a time, that is the POWER THAT YOU HOLD WITHIN… Can you even grasp these words?

Your salvation is NOT FOUND in another, and your SALVATION is NOT A FUTURE event, it is of upmost importance for you to WAKE UP out of your slumber and see that who we really are is creating this nightmare we call earth…

Consider this, what is impossible to the human race? The farther we seek and the more we look for, the more appears out of thin air… MUCH LIKE THE BIG BANG THEORY… much like this life…

1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Right now, we can’t see the big picture… we look into the mirror but can’t SEE who we TRULY ARE… But after the SEALS are loosed, after the LIES are stripped away… we will KNOW as we ARE KNOWN. We will KNOW as we are KNOWN. If we KNOW as others KNOW US then we KNOW OURSELVES.

Consider what is possible today… science fiction is now science…man can fly, reach the heavens, create organs in a plastic dish, cure disease, create mass quantities of food, communicate instantaneously anywhere around the world in an instant, as a signal travels thousands of miles at the speed of light… Consider that we accept this things because we have convinced ourselvees we had to create things to do so, never once considering we have the power to do everything and anything we desire… Because who we REALLY ARE gave us that desire. IT IS OUR DESIRE TO DO SO, to be who we want to be, to see what we want to see…

Psalm 21:2
Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips.

There is NOTHING that is restrain us or holding us back, truly! The ONLY THING holding us back are the beliefs that we cannot do this or that. These are the seals… THE SEALS WHICH TODAY HAVE BEEN LOOSED FOR SOME.

You, my brothers and sisters are in control, but not YOU who is reading this right now, not the one IN THE WORLD, who is putting their faith outside of them in the world, YOU, THE ONE IN CONTROL… THE EXISTING ONE… THE ONE WHO EXISTS AND HAS ALWAYS EXISTED… YOU… YOU WITHIN THE YOU YOU CREATED…. YOU NEED TO WAKE UP… ARISE!

PSALMS 82
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

ARISE TO WHO YOU ARE! AND ALL YOU CAN ACHIEVE! This is the truth, the wonderful truth of this MYSTERY that has been hidden from the ages… CHRIST IN YOU… But the word Christ, just means, the WISDOM AND POWER of God!

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

The WISDOM AND POWER OF GOD IS IN YOU!

Forgotten, after entering this world, and taking on the sins of it… Believing you are a baby, a son, a daughter, a name you were given. We have been imprinted.

We are told how to act, what to wear, when to go to bed, how to eat, how to think, how to speak. EVERY aspect of our lives, CONDITIONED, and slowly we begin to believe this is who we are. But this so called PERSON that we think we are, is a LIE. It is a creation of MEN/WOMEN, it the creation of ourself… and WE EVEN GAVE IT LIFE.
So that it now exists SEPERATE FROM WHO WE ARE!

It was formed from the DUST, the DEATH, the IGNORANCE of this world, values, beliefs, all forced upon us. But now it is time to RISE FROM THE DEAD! Rise from your ignorance and see!

We were all MADE in this DUST OF DEATH. The FIRST MAN is FORMED out of IGNORANCE.

“To be carnally minded is DEATH”.

This is why, my friends it is time to PUT OFF that former conversation you have with the image you created. Which is CORRUPT according to the LIES IT WAS BORN OUT OF.

Ephesians 4:22
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts.

Regardless of what lies we have believed ourselves to be. We are MORE than our experiences, we are MORE than what others claim us to be. We are MORE than we have ever thought overselves to be.

John 16
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

A life of ignorance is a life of DEATH. If we believe we are someone, we are NOT, then in fact, then WE ARE ACTUALLY DEAD to who we REALLY are… and WHO WE REALLY ARE is hidden, waiting to RISE AGAIN… So the TWO CAN BECOME ONE!

To wake up and be able to say… As I say

John 17:11
And now I am no more in the world, but these (who read these words) are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father (ONE WHO CREATED the ONE IN THE WORLD) keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be ONE as WE ARE!

And the FIRST IDEA of who you think you are, is LAST into coming to the truth. The LAST IDEA of who you are has always been HIDDEN in the FIRST!

Matthew 19:30
But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

The first idea of who you are is of this EARTH… IGNORANT… FORMED FROM LIES… Even though who you REALLY ARE breathed life into this IMAGE… BUT THE LAST YOU, IS ACTUALLY THE LORD FROM HEAVEN!

1 Corinthians 15:47
The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

So isn’t time to come to the TRUTH and put the image away…

Romans 6:6
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Now, my friends, I know life has been hard… But you knew it had to be so you would wake up!

Romans 8:18
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

AND THAT GLORY is at HAND!

I must add after reading this to my friend Dean, something he shared about this day. “I taught many years ago on the Flood, and it is not the rain that floods the earth, it is the opening of the fountains of the earth… which is the truth within, after being watered for forty years, the SEED within is finally ready to BURST THROUGH… and in that moment, THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD SHALL FILL THE EARTH AS THE WATERS COVER THE SEA… AND HOW DO THE WATERS COVER THE SEA?… The answer is completely.

WELCOME TO JOEL’S ARMY EVERYONE!

KEEP THESE WORDS CLOSE AND SHARE THE TRUTH WITH THOSE SO THEY MAY BE SET FREE!

Peace to you all, Jacob
