TEN VIRGINS and TRUTH

TEN VIRGINS and TRUTH

Jesus told his disciples that, “Unto you it is given to know the MYSTERIES of the KINGDOM OF GOD, but unto those that are without “Christ” ALL things are done in parable.”

Now first of all I want to point out two things.

Jesus did NOT say the things of God, or the Kingdom of God are easily, literally, and intellectually understood, quite the opposite. – Jesus said these things are a MYSTERY.

Let’s look at that word mystery, some other words for it are enigma, riddle, secret, puzzle. Mysteries cannot be taken at face value, they must be REVEALED. Now let’s look at the definition.

The literal definition of MYSTERY is: 1.Something that is difficult or impossible to understand or explain 2.The condition or quality of being secret, strange, or difficult to explain — and I believe the best definition is the one they give for the MYSTERY of Christ 3.A religious belief based on divine revelation, esp. one regarded as beyond human understanding

Now those that were being discipled by Christ. Those led by the spirit of Truth, Christ (The Power and Wisdom of God) is given the UNDERSTANDING of these things. This of course, is NOT done by their intellect or soulish comprehension. This is also explained clearly in scripture.

2 Peter 1:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 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.

The word PROPHECY is a word few truly know the meaning of. People think of Nostradamus when they hear that word, they think of future events, and predictions. But a “PROPHECY of SCRIPTURE” is a true understanding of the mystery of it. And always the understanding (the prophecy) speaks of the CHRIST WITHIN YOU. Your true life which has been hidden, which some have come to realize and others have not. This in essence is what the “parable” of the Ten Virgins which I will soon get into.

So I hope by now you know, PROPHECY is merely the revelation, and true understanding of God’s Glory (hidden meaning of things, and scripture) – Remember it is the GLORY OF GOD to conceal a thing. And this hidden thing is the TRUTH that has been hidden WITHIN US, in his own SPIRIT OF TRUTH. And it is only be realizing the Christ Within that you can have prophecy to begin with, and know all things.

1 Corinthians 13:2
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge

SIDE NOTE:
I do get a kick out of all the Pastors, Bishops, Rabbi’s, Guru’s, Evangelists, and “Prophets” who give themselves these “Titles” by the way, or proudly wear them because other men have given them to them. A side note: If anyone has a “Title” before their name, Like Bishop, of The Evangelist so and so, or Prophetess or Prophet so and so, it’s a good call they haven’t received the “PROPHECY OF THE TRUTH”. No person who has a firm understanding of God’s grace, and truth, exalts themselves. Instead they humble themselves. They don’t make themselves out to be something greater, or seemingly more important than others. Scripture is clear on this as well.

Galatians 6:3
For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself

As a former Catholic (as a young child) I was forced to call the Priest Father, Kiss the Ring of the Bishop, Cardinal, etc… and when I understood that scripture forbid such actions I was quite shocked no one picked up on it. But such is the way of religion.

Matthew 23:9
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven

But I’m not simply pointing out problems with the Catholic Church. This problem is everywhere. Every religious leader it seems, wants to be called Pastor, Bishop, Evangelist, Prophet, Imam, Master, Teacher, etc and etc… I cringe when people write me and call me some of these things, and I immediately reply, “I am nothing but a simple guy who loves to seek, loves the mystery of life, and loves to love and encourage others.” And this IS NOT OF MYSELF! I didn’t give myself this desire, it was placed in me. I thank God for it.

In any event, common sense should dictate to these men and women, that it is pride that makes them believe they need to attach a “title” or “name” to themselves to be taken seriously as a “man of woman of God” – There is no need for such pride. It sends the wrong message to those listening, and corrupts the man. As the scripture verses surrounding the above verse dictate. Carry the burdens or others and prove your understanding of God with your humility, love, compassion, forgiveness, patience, and true wisdom.

Galatians 6:2-4
2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

Not only do these men and women, boast a title, they also wear collars, outfits, and fancy jewelery, long chains, etc, to “set them apart from the people who listen”.

1 Peter 3:3-4
3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.

Now I’m not saying it’s not okay to wear nice clothes, dress up, wear makeup, GOD FORBID you think that. I am saying those who claim to know the things of God should not DRESS UP FOR SHOW, there is no need for the fancy robes, gold chains, Bishop’s collars, etc… There is nothing wrong with wearing “your Sunday best”, so long as your Sunday best doesn’t set you above the rest. Meaning, if you are one people look to for understanding the things of God, wear humility, let compassion be your collars, and charity your jewelery.

There was nothing that set Jesus apart from his followers with the exception of his WORDS OF WISDOM. He didn’t look grand that we should be attracted to him, he didn’t have people wait on his hand and foot, in point of fact the opposite was true. The Greatest of All Is Servant to All.

Now that I got all that out-of-the-way. Let’s get back into what this paper is REALLY about.

“Unto you it is given to know the MYSTERIES of the KINGDOM OF GOD, but unto those that are without “Christ” ALL things are done in parable.”

POINT TWO:

Notice, Jesus said “to those” that DIDN’T KNOW THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD “ALL THINGS” I will repeat that, ALL THINGS ARE DONE IN PARABLE.

Notice the scripture verse did not state SOME THINGS, but ALL THINGS. Which means, EVERYTHING you read in scripture has more than one way to PERCEIVE it. The Literal which most likely will keep you in chains and KILL your wisdom/life, and the SPIRITUAL which will bring you LIFE (ENLIGHTENMENT).

Now many will say, “NO, SCRIPTURE IS LITERAL. God wouldn’t try to confuse us.”

But please consider, if scripture was easily understood than carnal mankind would have no need for God. And he could then justify himself in killing others, raping others, stoning others, condemning others, keeping slaves, beating women, and worse. NOW DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A GOD OF LOVE TO YOU?

You see every time we see something in scripture, we must SEEK the deeper meaning. By prayerfully considering it, and allowing God to reveal it. In fact, you should EXPECT God to reveal it, if he put the desire in your heart to know a thing, you will know the thing.

Proverbs 1:5-7
5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance—
6 for understanding proverbs and parables,
the sayings and riddles of the wise.
7 The respect and reverence of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

If this literal book “The Bible” wasn’t sealed up, MANKIND will never humble themselves. If our Book of DNA wasn’t sealed up, we would become immortal terrors walking the earth as well. This is an unveiling process we are all going to take part in.

Have ever done something really dumb, but at the time you thought you were in the right and had every reason to do what you did; But then, found out the truth of the situation and felt terrible that you had acted that way? Well this is why scripture has been sealed.

The good news is, the TRUTH of IT ALL, is already right inside each and every one of us. Not one single person on the planet earth doesn’t already have all the answers within them. WHICH IS WHY WE DON’T NEED TO GO DOOR TO DOOR TEACHING PEOPLE TO KNOW GOD!

Hebrews 8:11
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

But for now, ALL things are done in PARABLE. Now let me explain what that means.

A PARABLE is a story that needs to be interpreted; it is one whose moral can only be found by uncovering the mystery hidden between the words written. To understand a parable, one must understand the SPIRIT of which the story is trying to convey. The STORY doesn’t need to be literal, it can be, but the point of the PARABLE is not that it literally happened, but WHAT IT MEANS!

As I wrote earlier, “No scripture is of private interpretation”, which means no one can read it at face value and declare the meaning of it. Our interpretation or understanding of a thing is much different from the interpretation given to us by the inspiration and revelation of it from God. (which once again, I must add, is what PROPHECY is! Not predicting future events)

The good thing is Christ has given his church the keys to unlocking these mysteries, and many of them are found in scripture itself. And when the meaning is uncovered, understanding what the parable means will indeed set you free.

The question is what are we set free from? The answer is our ignorance, our own misunderstanding. You see the reason we suffer, is because we DON’T KNOW ANY BETTER! It’s like we’re walking around in the dark bumping into things, we can’t seem to get anything right, we suffer, we cry, we DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY!!!!! If only we had a SPIRITUAL LAMP to guide us through the darkness of our ignorance, that would be something wouldn’t it? 🙂 Well the truth is, WE ALL DO INSIDE US!

And nothing speaks this better than the parable Jesus gave about the five wise and five foolish virgins. But to truly understand this parable WE HAVE to allow God to reveal it’s deeper meaning. The way I came to understand this, was not any great effort on my part. Not even close!

One day I was thinking, I wonder what that story really means. And then one day, IT SIMPLY CAME TO ME. It started with the though, “go in scripture and see what a lamp is compared to in scripture”, and “what is oil compared to” and “what does a virgin represent”… You get the idea.

So I began digging.

Ezekiel 8:7-9
8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. 9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.

When the SPIRIT OF LIFE AND WISDOM with us, brings us to DIG DEEPER we uncover how corrupt the false teachings of the day are. We are amazed and shocked, but we are filled with JOY for all we have begun to understand.

SO LET’S TAKE A DEEPER LOOK SHALL WE?

Matthew 25
1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

So who are these Ten Virgins, what does their LAMP represent, and who is the bridegroom? The Bible speaks many times of a Virgin, the Virgin daughter of Zion, the Virgin of Israel, the Virgin of Babylon, the Virgin who gives birth to Immanuel (The Lord).

A VIRGIN is a symbol of someone who has not BECOME ONE WITH another, sexually, which can result in offspring. So spiritually, a VIRGIN is one who has not become ONE with a BELIEF SYSTEM that would produce a bunch of ideas about God, whether true or false. Offspring are symbolic of what we create within us when we become one with an IDEA.

For example, someone tells us, it is a SIN to eat meat on Friday. Now if we take what that person says as Gospel Truth, then we produce a CHILD (thought/belief) within that will condemn us IF we do eat meat. Get it? Remember we are dealing with ALLEGORY, PARABLE, MYSTERIES here, that MUST be looked at with SPIRITUAL EYES (UNDERSTANDING).

SO, the Virgin is US before we become ONE WITH IDEAS! Once we take on a bunch of false beliefs and traditions as Gospel Truth then we are no longer VIRGINS! We become like the woman at the well, who has many husbands, and not one of them produced good seed within her. Now, unlike the natural world, we can become VIRGINS again, when we get rid of all our LOVERS (RELIGIOUS VANITY)

For those who think this is still speaking of literal virgins, let me show you in scripture that this is a PARABLE, speaking of how we MUST BECOME AS VIRGINS ready to become ONE (marry) the TRUTH. Look at what Paul said to Corinth.

2 Corinthians 11
1 I hope you will put up with me in a little foolishness. Yes, please put up with me! 2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure VIRGIN to him. 3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

It should be clear by now, that a VIRGIN is one who has NOT BEEN deceived.

The reason we must be AS VIRGINS is, IF we are holding onto the LOVERS OF LIES, TRADITION, AND RELIGION then we will NEVER RECEIVE TRUTH. We can only receive the TRUTH when we ARE divorced from the lies. Which is a clever way of saying, we don’t want lies no more, we want a relationship with the TRUTH.

Jesus said “he is the TRUTH” now lots of people think that “the man Jesus” is their HUSBAND. These people would be wrong. This is symbolic language, his words were TRUTH, the TRUTH was revealed IN THE MAN JESUS, as it is revealed in those God quickens today.

Truly it is the CHRIST (the power and wisdom of God), the WORD of God that was WITHIN JESUS the MAN that is our HUSBAND. The same spirit of Life that ruled Jesus the man, as he said “I can do nothing of myself” is the same spirit that is within us. This WORD is our true husband, and the HEAD OF THE BODY (BELIEF SYSTEM IN US, AND BELIEVERS AROUND THE WORLD)

This “Husband” talk is not literal, it is speaking spiritually (allegorically). Think of it this way, OUR THOUGHTS rule our lives, essentially OUR THOUGHTS in this case are the HUSBAND. This is why we must put on the MIND OF CHRIST, so we are ruled by the TRUTH, and so the HUSBAND (Christ) will lead the BODY (us). THE HUSBAND WE MUST MARRY (become one with) IS THE TRUTH OF GOD.

2 Corinthians 11:2
I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.

Christ is not a SINGLE MAN. But the SPIRIT OF LIFE within ALL MANKIND! And when we marry ourselves to it. (become one with this truth) we are led by our HUSBAND and submit ourselves to our HUSBAND (truth) IN ALL THINGS.

So indeed THE PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS is about humanity as a whole. And it speaks of the TWO NATURES in mankind that are obedient to the truth, and carnal (disobedient).

FIVE WISE – FIVE FOOLS

Remember, the WISE are those that trust that God is in control of all things. And the Fool are those that don’t believe in God being in control. And each of us, have these natures within.

Who we think we are in this world, and who we truly are IN CHRIST.

Now that we know who the Virgins are, let’s move unto the OIL AND LAMP.

The Bible is also clear also about what the LAMP is… It is not a literal Lamp.

Psalm 119 tells us that GODS WORD is a LAMP unto our feet.

So it clear that this LAMP that WE carry is GODS WORD.

And what is GODS WORD? The answer is found in John 17, Gods WORD is TRUTH. (Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.) It is This TRUTH that saves/sanctified us. And of course the BRIDEGROOM is GOD.

1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
But five of these were WISE and five were FOOLISH.

So now the PARABLE becomes clearer. The Kingdom of God is like HUMANITY who hold unto God’s TRUTH and waits to find God.

Let’s again who the WISE ARE: Ecclesiastes 8:5: Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment

So you see a WISE person can DISCERN, he or she can understand. They have the REVELATION of THE TRUTH hidden in parable. They have the interpretation and the understanding.

Now if these VIRGINS are ALL OF HUMANITY and their LAMPS are the TRUTH, Well this parable is teaching us that HALF can understand the TRUTH God pours out upon all flesh, while the OTHER half does not. But this is NOT about literal people here, but natures in man.

James 1:8
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Within each of us, are two NATURES at war. The Flesh and the Spirit. The EGO and the Christ. The Virgin parable speaks of these natures in man. The EGO may have the LAMP within, but will never understand it. Only the SPIRIT can ALLOW THAT LIGHT TO SHINE. As five virgins left the other five to go WITHIN and get MARRIED (BECOME ONE WITH THE TRUTH)… WE TOO, must leave our ignorant EGO in the world to be free. Our carnal mind can NEVER hear the call of the BRIDEGROOM. Because our EGO is simple, worldly, earthy (the first man = death = ignorant = unable to understand the PROPHECY of truth)

Proverbs 9:13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

So we begin to see that this is not a literal story of ten literal virgins with literal lamps, instead it is a story about us. And which category we fall into.

Now watch what those with no understanding do with GODS TRUTH that is poured upon them. For it is written, his TRUTH is poured out upon ALL FLESH, but not all have the UNDERSTANDING, not all ARE WISE and become Sanctified WITH IT.

3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

There are some of us, that are unable to take the TRUTH of GOD and because they don’t have the proper interpretation, and don’t truly understand what it means. They don’t have the very fuel (revelation/wisdom) that gives that TRUTH LIGHT! They don’t have the very ESSENSE NEEDED to LIGHT the path, to LIGHT the way around them. They don’t have the understanding and so, they don’t have the SALVATION that comes with knowing and believing in the WORD of GOD, Gods TRUTH.

4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

But those who DID understand what God was teaching them, they were saved FROM THEIR IGNORANCE and their TRUTH was ready to BURN BRIGHT to show the world just who THEIR HUSBAND really IS. They had the OIL which you will see is WISDOM to see the truth for themselves. The others went off to try to buy it. (Sound like people in church tithing and such, doesn’t it?) But God wants us to SHINE THE TRUTH CONTINUALLY!

Leviticus 24
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. 3 Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.

Isaiah 61:3:
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Indeed the Oil, is something that takes time to produce in all of us. It is a process, a difficult one, but one never the less that causes our face to shine with the interpretation of Gods word. As it did with Moses and Christ.

Psalm 104:15: And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.

So this OIL that we have in our VESSELS (Hearts/Spirits/Life) is the JOY and it causes our face to shine… WHY? Because we know THE TRUTH, that GOD IS IN CONTROL OF ALL THINGS, so we can rest in that salvation. And we know this GREAT SALVATION only comes through the UNDERSTANDING the TRUTH of GOD. So is there a scripture that says that UNDERSTANDING TRUTH causes our face to shine? SURE THERE IS:

Ecclesiastes 8:1:
Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a MAN’S WISDOM maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

So is it any wonder that after Christ was transfigured before them, that he was seen with ELIJAH and MOSES… Could it is be, that this was to show the disciples AS HIS FACE SHINED BRIGHT that he indeed HAD THE INTREPRETATION and TOTAL UNDERSTANDING of GOD. Both of the LAW AND PROPHETS.

Matthew 17:2: And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

So now we can easily see, that the parable of Oil, Lamps, and Virgins. Deal specifically with TRUTH, UNDERSTANDING, INTERPRETATION, JOY, AND ULTIMATELY SALVATION.

OIL causes a man’s face to shine (ps 104) – Wisdom (which is a tree of life) causes a man face to shine (ecc 8) – OIL = WISDOM gained through understanding the revelation of the Word of GOD, which is TRUTH.

Now you may not be able to receive this, but isn’t it OIL that is supposed to be LIBERALLY APPLIED to the SICK? Aren’t we supposed to ANOINT OURSELVES WITH OIL… each day. WASN’T EVERY KING IN ISRAEL ANOINTED WITH OIL, BEFORE HE BECAME KING?

Of course WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING (oil) should be liberally applied to our thinking. How else can we inherit the KINGDOM OF GOD, unless we know his TRUTH and understand the PARABLE which is a MYSTERY to those that are without.

The sad thing is both sets of virgins were waiting for God. Both thought they were going to MARRY God, BOTH THOUGHT they would become ONE with GOD. But only those who understand the TRUTH, only those who had the proper INTERPRETATION are brought in to the KINGDOM.

Only those who had LAMPS with OIL, only those who had the RIGHT INTERPRETATION of GODS TRUTH, Only those WITH WISDOM which causes our face to shine… enter in.

But too many people today, are not able to hear the things that the Lord is speaking. Too many people are unprepared. This has nothing of course to do with WORKS, as many teach, but it has everything to do with UNDERSTANDING THE TRUTH!

There is a part of you that will accept the truth and become greater than the part of you that cannot. That part IN you will INCREASE and the part that has no OIL will decrease. So even if you don’t understand it all, don’t worry, it is my firm belief that ALL WILL ONE DAY!

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:

“The Truth Will Change You”

Be Perfect?

Jacob Israel5 Comments

Be Perfect?

Life can be so very hard at times. And there is great suffering in the lives of so many, here in the states as well as around the world. Many question why? In the book of Lamentations, God is questioned again and again as to why he brings such suffering and misery into the lives of those that ignorantly walked out of their union. In the end the answer is to return to this unity, to return to trusting God, returning to the understanding that if you do good to those you around you, you will recieve good yourself. To better our lives we must first understand that we will have dificult times, and that we must be able to not allow our hard times to brings us into the pits of hell (ignorant suffering). We must truly know that even our suffering, even our hardship, is perfect work that will ultimately lead us to a place where we walked again, not after our vain imagination (believing our ego is in control), but we walk after the path that has been predetermined for us. The path that has been set before us will not always be an easy one, but if we truly understand it is a necessary part of our growth and we don’t condemn ourself when we allow it to get to us, then we will find our suffering fade away, and our hope increase. I hope you enjoy this simple video I did last night, and it reminds you that no one in this world was perfect (as we know perfection to be). So don’t beat yourself up, be encouraged, you are here reading this, you are in this moment exactly where you need to be, which means, you haven’t messed anything up. EVERYTHING REGARDLESS OF HOW YOU HAVE PERCIEVED IT HAS BROUGHT YOU TO THIS MOMENT! Without your past you would not be who you are today, now it’s time to move past your past, and embrace and be thankful for the moment. Peace Jacob

New Covenant You Say?

Jacob Israel22 Comments


New Covenant You Say?

(This is a long essay, but well worth your time!)

Well if you have been to any man made Christian Church you may have heard the term “New Covenant” many times before. It suggests that there was a time that mankind was under the OLD COVENANT of the law, these are the days of Moses. We’re talking animal sacrifices, condemnation, stoning, and of course we thank the “LAW” for all that. And there were a lot of those laws, weren’t there?

Today, however, many who go to their man-made churches, regardless of denomination, are told, and believe, that they live in the NEW COVENANT! They are told that Jesus Christ did away with the Old Covenant for all of them, and now they are living under the age of grace. Well I must disagree. That is not to say you can’t enter into the NEW COVENANT, it simply means you can’t do it on the merit of someone, or something else. As this article will prove.

I can almost guarantee those who are entering this New Covenant, or who have found this New Covenant, no longer NEED THEIR MAN MADE CHURCHES. And they have found that it was their DENYING of their EGO, and going WITHIN THE HOLIEST PLACE OF ALL (the mind/Kingdom of God) that they found the TRUTH of who they really are, and in so doing they BECAME THE MEDIATORS of this NEW COVENANT!

If truth be told, anyone who still goes to a literal man-made church is not only, most likely under the old covenant of death, but exists in what we should title, “The Dark Ages of Faith.”

Most today haven’t the slightest idea of what being set at liberty means. LIBERTY means to be SET FREE! But how many reading this essay feel they are free? I mean how can they, when they have an entire world system that is designed to keep themu in debt, in fear, dependant on the system, ignorant of the truth, and selfish.

This system is not just political, but societal and of course religious.

Let me explain what happens when you are set at Liberty. You no longer see others as separate from you, you no longer are troubled by the cares of this world, you walk in unity, in hope, you may not be wealthy but you are RICH, provided for, and grateful for all things. That is the NEW COVENANT!

But when you are part of the OLD COVENANT, you are still under the legalistic thinking of the law and cannot come to the knowledge of the truth. You will also hate, condemn, tear down, and attack anyone that is not part of your particular denomination or political party.

You see the world today is in so much pain. So many are struggling to get by, many can’t get by, people war against others, we see riots, famine, and economic collapse. Now that isn’t what really saddens me, what saddens me is that people aren’t waking up to unity and love, but instead seem to be losing their minds to a certain extent.

You know how easy it is, when you are angry, to lash out at those around you? Well things are getting so bad right now and people are getting so angry right now that we see people cheering on Men and Women for the presidency, that LITERALLY believe the reason the world is hurting is because we allow homosexuals to marry, and because people don’t believe the literal interpretation of the bible, and because we allow other religions, like Islam, to practice their faith openly. Scary but true.

I can tell you this is not NEW COVENANT thinking, it is the OLD. And Old Covenant thinking brings death, suffering and more misery. And the proof is in the pews of churches around the world, you hear more about how evil people are “outside” their particular denomination. You hear more hate speak about how more “Christians” need to stand up and FIGHT to take back this country. This is NOT New Covenant Thinking, it isn’t even Godly. And yet, it has become the status quo.

When countries are hurting, when the people of said countries are broke, angry, and suffering it isn’t long before some radical, crazy leader appears on the scene and starts pointing the blame at those that are different. Yes Hitler, was one example, but it has happened elsewhere, and continues to happen all over the world. Trust me when I say, it is happening right now, IN OUR COUNTRY.

We aren’t far away from the days, where even mentioning the word acceptance and love toward all will land you in a cell.

However, as I have said in essays past, sometimes the nightmare has to get so bad that people can no longer take it they FINALLY wake from it. And as I sit here writing this essay, as scary as it all seems to be, and as frighteningly fast the pace at which all of this is happening, I know there is nothing I can do TO STOP IT, and no reason for me to be scared. Because I have faith that everything is going according to plan. And I know that this plan cannot fail, it may get ugly, it may seem hopeless, but as we find in our OWN lives even the worst times make way for the best times. So BEFORE I really started this essay I just wanted to take these moments to encourage all of you to never give up hope even if things seem hopeless.

Remember the OLD COVENANT is done away with in CHRIST. And although many in churches today will tell you they are operating under this new covenant, you will find that is SOOOOOOO NOT THE CASE! If we were there would be peace, there would be food enough for all, there would be love toward all, and a unity that we have never known. But like every harvest, there is right now a “First-stripe” or “First-fruit” that is entering the new covenant. And if this remnant of forerunners is holy (whole) then the rest of the world will be as well. And I know for a fact we have good reason to HOPE!

So let me get into this essay now. I am going to use a Chapter from Hebrews to show you, using a line by line breakdown, why “Christianity” is still an OLD COVENANT, regardless of how radical and advanced your church seems to be. Even if your man-made church has taken the infant steps away from believing in literal infinite torture in hell or like-minded teaching, it’s one thing to leave egypt, but it’s another thing to enter the promise land.

SO LET’S TRY AND ENTER IN SHALL WE?

Hebrews 9
1Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
2For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. 3And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; 4Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; 5And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

So here we see, in the OLD COVENANT there is a “WORLDLY SANCTUARY”, let’s call it a Church Building. And in this building you take your communion, you light your candles, and everything that is done, is always done first by the priest, pastor, etc… In the worldly sanctuary, only the pastor and the priest have the right to teach, and “go into the presence of God”. Which many remind the congregation of. You’ll even see a throne on which the pastor, priest, or evangelist sits. The worldly church is SO IMPORTANT! This is why you must go at least ONCE A WEEK! (Or at least that is what you are taught and told.)

Since childhood people are taught, to FIND GOD, one must go to the “worldly tabernacle”, one must go to Church… Try this next time you’re out to dinner, ask your waiter, “Hey do you have faith in a higher power?” and they will say 9 times out of 10, “Yes, I do, but I don’t go to Church or anything.” Do you see the OLD COVENANT thinking in them? As if to have faith you need to go to a man-made building. Well that is the first step of DEATH (ignorance) the First Covenant offers.

Hebrews 9
6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. 7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: 8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: 9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

We are told that the Preachers and Priests are the ones doing the service of God. And once a year, at Christmas every preacher, priest, enters into that time when they speak of the ONE SACRIFICE that took away the sins of everyone. That of course being the teaching of Jesus’s death and resurrection.
This is something that is done once a year, every year, year in and year out. A constant reminder of this First Covenant teaching, that salvation is found by the sacrafice of something or someone other than your (ego/carnal self).

And of course, the rest of the year it’s all about tithing, gifts, and things you must “give up” to become like this Jesus character… But what is offered in the Churches today can NEVER make people whole and perfect. Because it is all based on what YOU DO or DON’T DO! You are taught separation, that the priest or pastor is the only one that really knows God, that God is far away from you, and you are not worthy of God’s love because you are taught how evil you are. And you are taught that, the only way to be made whole and right with God, is God needed to literally kill his son, a man named Jesus. (Blood offering). Even though, God doesn’t need the blood of animals or men as sacrifice, God simply needs LOVE.

Here in Isaiah 1, we see how foolish all these feasts, doctrines, vain traditions, and sacrifices are. What GOD wants for us, is to come to the knowledge of the TRUTH, not a list of we must do or else. The point is RESTING from DOING, and knowing it’s already done and you just have to accept it.

Isaiah 1
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. 12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. 15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil…

17 LEARN TO DO WELL; SEEK WHAT IS RIGHT, RELIEVE THE OPPRESSED…..”

Even though, it is clear, God doesn’t want or need the blood of animals or men as a sacrifice. In this above passage it is abundantly clear all of our religious traditions, teachings, and vain offerings are an offence to God, and in so being an offence to God they are an offence to our very nature, which is God. We need to simply embrace verse 17, (learn to do well, seek truth, and relieve those that are hurting and oppressed) – That is what God wants.

Yet, almost every single Christian Man Made Church, teaches about the LITERAL BLOOD OF JESUS. And they completely miss the whole point of what this all means.

Recently, I posted a simple comment on my Facebook wall. Someone asked, where the “Blood of Jesus” cleansing us from Sin fit into my comment. Here is my comment below. And in reading it, ask yourself if it makes more sense than what you are taught in religion.

Is salvation found by believing in someone thousands of years ago who did something to become one with God- OR- Is salvation found by doing what “he” did, laying down your ego and knowing you and God are one? Can ONE be free from literal shackles by believing in someone who was freed from literal shackles, or must one use the power and wisdom within them to do the same?

I understand why so many people would have a problem with this. It is because we have been force-fed a belief that will keep us in those “shackles”. And those chains are the very belief that puts salvation far from us, and makes it unattainable. It is a belief that God is separate from you. A belief that makes you wait for a separate man named Jesus to return, or to whisk you away up into the clouds, while a God of Love then murders and tortures those that don’t go to your church.

Religion is one of the Carnal Mind’s greatest tricks. The least of which is the belief that we aren’t worthy to be the very thing we are and have always been… God’s Image. No, you see Religion won’t allow you to be free to be who you are, it traps you into believing you aren’t who you are, and worse than who you are, and not worthy to be who you are.

You are in a prison of your own creating, YOUR EGO!

So when the question was raised ABOUT MY POST you read earlier I answered. And this is basically how I answered below. This will give you clarity on what “The Blood of Jesus” really means, and how it “cleanses us from SIN” (FOOLISH THINKING).

First, we must understand Jesus said that we MUST do exactly what he did, pick up our cross, that he was the first among many brethren etc… So if his LITERAL BLOOD blood cleansed us from sin, why are we all still suffering, and why would we need to continue to do what he did?

In John’s epistle we are told that “As He is so are we in this world” – Meaning we are the exact same. He is called the first-born among many brethren…

(I have a younger brother, I graduated school to get a degree… If my younger brother wants that degree he must go through everything I went through, CORRECT? Also in OUR “Father’s” eyes my brother and I are the same, loved the same, we are no different.)

Here is a good question: With all that being said, and (there is so much more to say) but with all that said, don’t you question why everyone believes the way they do? People see such a separation between Jesus and themselves. They don’t see the very unity Jesus taught. Meaning we are all the same, ONE.

John 17:21-23
21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity.

There is no division in One, One is One, One God, One Spirit, One Baptism, ONE BODY (HUMANITY). But this one body is divided in their thinking. And so we find two covenants. One Covenant sees things literally, physically, temporally, and the Second Covenant sees things spiritually, allegorically, eternally. And the FIRST shall be Last, and the LAST shall be FIRST.

Now unto this “Blood of Jesus cleansing us” in some more detail. Taken from….. 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another *…..

Let me first point out what you just read… If we walk in the LIGHT (truth/love) we have what?…. FELLOWSHIP (communion/oneness) WITH EACH OTHER — Meaning, to walk in the light is to see OTHERS AS YOURSELF, yourself as others… to see that you are ONE (sound familiar?)

NOW! IF you do that… THEN….

… the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Now why would literally Blood cleanse us from SIN (ignorant thinking), if God states in many places HE DOESN’T WANT LITERAL SACRAFICES but to LOVE?

The reason is “Blood” is a word that describes THE “LIFE” of an individual.

If we walk in the truth, then the SAME “LIFE” that was IN JESUS is IN US and so we are cleanses from sin (foolish/ignorant thinking).

This scripture is NOT saying that we are cleansed by LITERAL BLOOD THAT IS SPILT thousands of years ago, and because of that we are free from sin. In fact the very next line is, IF YOU TAKE the last line LITERALLY, contradictory! Because if spilt literal blood saves us from sin, then why is the next line speaking of the sin (foolish thinking) that we have…

8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

You see, too many people take the bible literally, and don’t understand allegory… Now let’s look at that scripture in a new light…

“If we walk in the Truth, as Jesus walked in the Truth, then we will commune with one another and see each other as equals, and the same LIFE and UNDERSTANDING that was in Jesus, WILL BE IN US, AND will cleanse us from our foolish thinking… Because WE WALK IN THE TRUTH

Now there are many scriptures which explain the allegory of BLOOD… here is one – Leviticus 17:14 the LIFE of every creature is its blood.

It’s sort of like this… Say you only knew one person that talked the way Jesus talked… And you knew that “he had the words of life” – You would understand that you had to know what he knew to be free, and if you did, then the wisdom that was in him, would also be in you, and that WISDOM (life) which was in him, and you now understand is IN YOU, would purify your thinking.

Here is another way of looking at it… It’s sort of like someone who understands Einstein’s theory of relativity… – I am now going to use the same scripture, and share it in a different light completely.

“If you walk in Einstein’s theory, than you have a common wisdom with those that understand Einstein’s theory, and the THEORY OF EINSTEIN cleanses you from the ignorance you had before regarding relativity.”

You see we aren’t made wise BY the Theory Einstein understood, we are only made wise when WE TOO UNDERSTAND what Einstein first REVEALED TO US… Now if we REFUSE this wisdom that Einstein first revealed, then we are ignorant of that TRUTH…

So Basically, Jesus was the first among many to understand THE WAY TO FREEDOM WAS UNDERSTANDING WHO HE WAS IN CHRIST (power and wisdom of God)… As the theory of relativity is attributed to Einstein because he first cleansed us from our ignorance in relativity… so the LIFE/BLOOD (wisdom) that Jesus first revealed to his followers, was SHED (shared) for us all, so we too could be free from our ignorance (of who we are) as well.

So in point of fact, literal blood has nothing at all to do with what is being shared in that scripture.

Wisdom is a Tree of Life, The Life of the Body is in the Blood — Blood=Life=Wisdom – JESUS shed/shared that wisdom first… SO WHEN WE HAVE THE TRUTH AND WALK IN THE TRUTH, we are united in that TRUTH and the WISDOM that was first SHARED by Jesus cleanses us from SIN (which is foolish/ignorant thinking) literally translated as missing the mark (which means missing the truth of who we REALLY ARE)

Which is why Jesus told people they needed to EAT HIS BODY AND DRINK HIS BLOOD – Symbolism of BECOMING JESUS, BECOMING ONE WITH JESUS. He was saying, AS I AM SO YOU ARE! But people didn’t want to EAT HIS BODY OR DRINK HIS BLOOD. They, like Israel, so many years before Jesus, wanted a KING TO RULE OVER THEM. They didn’t want to believe they were in fact God’s ONLY BEGOTTEN!

John 6
56He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

It’s an allegory people. Jesus says, if you AREN’T THE SAME AS I you don’t have eternal life (which means you don’t know God and whom God sent). It is only harder today for me to convey this to you. If I were to say, you and I are the exact same, you’d have no problem. But if I were to say, I am just as Jesus and you are just as Jesus, a very hard thing to grasp for OLD CONVENANT people indeed.

John 6
60Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it? 61When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? 62What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

They didn’t want to accept they were all GOD’S CHILDREN! We are all the SON OF MANKIND that need to ASCEND UP (become enlightened) TO WHERE WE WERE BEFORE, WE FORGOT WHO WE WERE.

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

The literal works of the physical man, and the Old Covenant teachings will never give you LIFE. The egotistical Carnal Mind profits nothing, but what JESUS was teaching GAVE LIFE… you and I are ONE, when you are ready to accept me as you, and you as me.

Now, if you are still with me, and I applaud you for staying this long… Here is the conclusion.

So we see the FIRST COVENANT is all about man’s works, man’s separation from God, and how man needs priests and high priests to know God, and literal blood needs to be spilt to appease a God that hates you. The Old Covenant, has all sorts of rules, can’t eat this or that, drink this or that, can’t say certain words, act certain ways, follow the laws of man by the tee, must destroy and kill or at the very least stay away from anyone and everyone who thinks, acts, or looks different. – Sounds a lot like the belief many denominations of the Christian Faith teach today doesn’t it?

But now, let’s see what it takes to leave that first covenant and enter the second. Which by the way, HEALS YOU AND CURES YOU AND DELIVERS YOU from the SINS (ignorance) of the FIRST COVENANT.

Hebrews 9
11 But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are NOW ALREADY HERE…

Notice, it doesn’t say these GOOD THINGS are coming soon, in the end of days. But are ALREADY HERE!

… Christ (the ANOINTED OF GOD’S POWER AND WISDOM) went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation.

Christ (which is fancy word for the ANOINTED OF GOD’S WISDOM AND POWER), The anointed of God’s wisdom DO NOT ENTER man-made tabernacles, church buildings, etc… the ANOINTED OF GOD enter THEMSELVES! They go within… which is the HOPE OF GLORY, CHRIST IN YOU, the KINGDOM IN YOU!

12 He did not enter by means of the blood (LIFE) of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood (LIFE), thus obtaining[b] eternal redemption.

The anointed of God, do not rely on the sacrifice of ANYTHING OR ANYONE ELSE… They do not enter into God’s rest by KILLING, OR RELYING on the LIFE of others, but the ANOINTED OF GOD enter the MOST HOLY PLACE (the Kingdom of God in You) once and for all by his own BLOOD (LIFE/UNDERSTANDING/SPIRIT)

13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean.

You see old covenant thinking, has you to believe that the sacrifice of something else saves you. But really the only thing this is doing is bolstering the old man, outward carnal ego man… It just makes that carnal man more appealing. But this doesn’t free anyone, because it has to be done again and again and again. This is what we see in churches around the world today.

14 How much more, then, will the blood (life) of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death,[c] so that we may serve the living God!

Now here is the best part, read that passage carefully. For in it, contains a great mystery and revelation. The ANOINTED OF GOD offers themselves UNBLEMISHED to God… Which doesn’t mean they didn’t make mistakes in the past, or lived a perfect life, it means, NOW THEY KNOW they are WORTHY TO BE CALLED GOD’S CHILD! They understand WHO THEY ARE, they don’t look at the past anymore, they don’t see where they are lacking… Their consciences are clear! And since they do not feel ashamed anymore, and they understand that everything that happened in their life had to happen to get them to where they are, they no longer will make the mistake of thinking they are not worthy of God.

And when you understand, you are GOD’S BELOVED CHILD, and that YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WORTHY, you let go of all the nonsense you have been fed, you let go of all your shame, and your conscience is clear so you no longer condemn yourself in the things you do or did… Which FINALLY frees you to SERVE THE LIVING GOD!

15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

This is why, the ANOINTED OF GOD’S WISDOM AND POWER are the MEDIATORS of the NEW COVENANT! — I know it sure sounds like I am writing about MANY PEOPLE and not JESUS. And you would be RIGHT!

Look at the next line…. that THOSE who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

You want to now what the New Covenant is, it is YOU AS CHRIST, CHRIST AS YOU. You take up the cross from death to LIFE! And when you do, you are set free from ALL THE SINS (ignorance/foolish thinking) COMMITTED under the first covenant!

That’s right, becoming who you truly are within sets you free from the lie you believed! So enter in already!

NO KING HERE

NO KING HERE

Matthew 23:11
But he that is greatest among (within) you shall be your servant.

There are two ways to look at that scripture. One is to see that the true purpose of life is to esteem others greater than yourself. The other is to understand the GREATEST IN YOU is YOUR SERVANT. But that is another paper for another time. Tonight I wanted to share something a bit more personal. I wanted to write something from my heart, to share what I have been going through spiritually, what I have been thinking about, and what has been troubling me lately.

The greatest thing lately is that I have found that I have no real deep insight to share with anyone, meaning I have no manna from heaven… except the only message I know needs to be spread today, and it’s so simple and wonderful, that I was so surprised that sharing it recently in my video sparked such outrage. So shaken by this, I found myself so confused, that the simplicity of the message was lost on people who seem to be focused only on things that are complex and unattainable.

2 Corinthians 11:3
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Our EGO deceives us through our intellect, our desire to be intellectual, smart, wise in our own eyes, and when we allow our EGO to corrupt the very simple message of CHRIST IN YOU/AS YOU, Mankind’s lust for wisdom, power, and pride corrupts it, making the EGO god, and killing the very truth of who you are, through a bunch of unnecessary complications mankind created to keep mankind’s EGO in control, and keep the TRUTH of who we are hidden. Which is why once that TRUTH, in its simplicity is shared, people go OFF!

1 Corinthians 1
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

Now this is for those who can hear it… WE ARE TO TAKE UP OUR CROSS. Christ’s is our Cross. It is when we CROSS from the ignorance and death of who we think we are, to the Life of knowing who we truly are. But that is another paper indeed.

I wanted to write this short paper on something that has truly been eating away at me. So much so, for a moment, it caused me to second guess about everything I do on this blog, youtube, and facebook.

What began as a simple desire to share with the world insights I believe I have been blessed with, in hopes that it would somehow better the lives of those reading, has become something I truly wasn’t prepared for. Hence the title of this essay, “No King Here”.

What I mean by this is, lately I been receiving a good deal of criticism and a great deal of praise, both of which I do not believe I deserve. Don’t get me wrong I love to provoke thought, and I love even more that something I write, or say, seems to do good in another’s life. Also, I don’t want to be misunderstood, I am not a fragile bird who gets all down in the dumps when people call me a “false prophet, deceiver, messenger of satan, possessed, evil, etc” to be honest I think those who do such have also put me on some kind of a platform; they do this by stating that I have been given some kind of power that “little old me” could possibly mislead people by such power. Now the idea that I can save someone spiritually or damn someone spiritually is not just funny, it is sad.

Sad because I only share what I share because I have the desire to do so. In addition I do so without expecting anything in return. I am not a pastor, I don’t lead a congregation, I’m not the head of anything, not even my family, my wife and I are partners at that 🙂 and we both understand that we can only be who we are. We love each other in good times and bad. That is why our marriage is blessed, we don’t put unrealistic expectations on the other, and don’t believe the other to be anything but who they are. Which is something that more people should do, not just in marriage, but in life, along the road to spiritual enlightenment. Don’t make anyone to be a King over you.

I often receive emails, like one today, where I am asked to give further proof of the things I write. Many of my readers, don’t really know if they should believe what is written, so they take my essays to their “spiritual leaders” for their okay… Even today, I was asked to give more proof, “scriptural” so that one reader could then provide more proof to their pastor, because their pastor says I haven’t backed up what is written with enough scriptural proof. Is it just me, or does someone see a problem with this. This person, has a) made their pastor to be the end all be all of their faith, and b) because of this has then come to me, to Prove myself more.

John 6:30
They said therefore unto him, What miracle will you show us, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work

Herod wanted the same thing. PROVE YOURSELF! I am all for giving every person an answer, but not when the answer has already been given and the person rejects it and says, “If this is the answer REALLLLLLY prove it to me.”

The point of this whole essay is I have no need. I am not trying to prove anyone wrong or prove myself right, I am simply sharing what I believe to be true. And now it is up to you to do what you will with it. This is your life, your walk, your amazing journey, I am simply a passerby that has your attention for but a moment. And so, I offered not other scriptures to prove what I wrote to be true, nor should I ever have to defend or prove myself to anyone, but God.

Which is why, the condemnation I received the other night really shook me to the core and I wanted this essay to be an explanation of sorts. You see, when I received the blow back openly and privately from sharing a simple video on the power of “Love”, it really sort of put the proverbial straw on the camel’s back and broke me.

Isaiah 5
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

I found myself having to do what I never have had to do before, to answer critics. I dare say, even defend my beliefs, which don’t need defence. However, I felt that if I didn’t, people who may be paying attention would think that I had no answers for them. You see that is what the problem is to begin with… I am not the person people should turn to to learn about the things of God, sure I love to share what I know, but I am no spiritual leader, and I will not wear that mantle regardless of how many tell me that is who I am…. You see, where many others would be happy to have others think they somehow know more, or have learned more, or are greater than others, I see that my life is not my own, not of my own making, and thus, I cannot take any credit for anything anyone has learned. If someone has learned something from my blog, or videos, they did not learn it from me, I simply was there to help them remember what they already knew (which is why they know it to be true)… A person cannot teach anyone about themselves, or God… Only God can do that, and only they can do that.

And as for those that can’t hear what I hear, or know what I know, that doesn’t threaten of bother me. Because I know a person can only believe what they can handle at that time. So for those that were looking for debate, it wouldn’t matter if I proved the point correct one hundred thousand times, they would never see it, because they are blinded to it. (for now)… If truth be told, no answer I can ever give someone who is “dead” set in their beliefs will ever change their stance, or view-point. But that doesn’t mean one day they won’t. It just means that when you enter into a new understanding, you will begin to see others in not their best light (because most you will find who attack you are in darkness)

2 Timothy 3
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
———- 7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Now if I may share what I believe Paul is warning Timothy about here, is not about the “last days of the literal world” – as this was advice he sent out long before you and I came on the scene. But I believe he was telling Timothy about how in the “Last Days of Our Ignorance” perilous times will come (be revealed). I believe the closer we get to seeing the very nature of God, which is love, peace, humility, compassion, acceptance, etc, and etc, that we will begin to see others in the world in a less than godly way. I believe he is saying, that the closer you get to the end of your carnal life, the more ugly the world and those around you will appear. The last line I quoted is by far my favorite, EVER LEARNING BUT NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH… This really does sum up so many today. So proud of all they are learning or have learned that they would scour to the world to find one speck in another’s beliefs while ignoring the void of love in their heart. Now scripture is clear, one day, ALL WILL COME TO THE UNITY OF THE FAITH… But what is the KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH that they are not coming to understand… Well it is the very thing I have been for weeks now trying to share here on my blog, facebook, and youtube, also it is the main “hidden” message of my book. The KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH is the KNOWLEDGE OF WHO YOU REALLY ARE. Look at this scripture.

Ephesians 4:12-14
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 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: — That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive

Look at that for a moment, the Knowledge of the TRUTH (Christ), also means to come to the knowledge of the SON (child) of God, and to come UNTO A PERFECT MAN, and UNTO THE MEASURE of the STATURE OF THE FULLNESS (Notice is does not say “part of”, or some, or separate from, but it says FULLNESS) — THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST (which is the power and wisdom of God, God’s anointed revealed in you (who people think you to be) in the literal world) — The knowledge of the truth is to get people to get to the FULLNESS OF CHRIST in their waking life. — MEANING, we become CHRIST, not as Christ, not a part of Christ, but the FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY.

Colossians 2:8-10
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him (CHRIST), which is the head of all principality and power

The very work I am laboring (only God knows why, for this is my greatest desire), the very thing I daily try to do is to get people to wake up to who they are. Not who they think they are, that is the ANTI-CHRIST… Who you think you are is the very enemy of who you really are, which is why you and I suffer and seem to be at war within ourselves. Which is why it is so important to get everyone to come to the Knowledge of who they are, so we will NO LONGER BE SPOILED by carnal philosophy, debate, deceit, traditions of men, or be tossed back and forth with every other wind of doctrine (teaching) there is.

And as Paul warned Timothy of the things he will experience in the “last days of his own ignorance”, I believe I too am experiencing as well. Like Paul, I am saddened to see so many people quick to condemn, attack, and tear down a simple message of love and peace. I understand they can only believe what they believe for the moment, I understand they are not my enemy (though they may see me as their enemy) but it is still hurtful to me that I have come to a place where I can no longer just keep this great understanding to myself. I have veiled my face for long enough, meaning I did my best for years to give people what I believed they could handle and was palatable for them, understanding not everyone is ready to hear that everything they put their faith in since childhood is in fact a clever deceitful lie designed to keep them from finding out the beauty of who they truly are. Which is the only thing that will set anyone free, THE TRUTH.

If you are waiting for salvation, you are not saved. If you are waiting for a savior to return you are helpless and in need of rescue. If you believe you are not worthy to be who you were created to be (the Image of God) what a sad lie you are living. It is like we have been trapped in a cage called “Ego” – and this non-existent creation we created has now become our task master. It now rules us, it keeps up scared, tells us we are no good, that we don’t measure up and can never measure up, it KEEPS US LIVING A LIFE THAT IS MORE LIKE DEATH…. the reason is WHO WE REALLY ARE is being held captive by this insecure, hateful, prideful, false identity which in a clever act of deceit has ensured its own existence by creating a religious belief that YOU CAN NEVER BE THE VERY THING YOU ARE!

This lie is so well and far spread that people kill, condemn, attack, tear down, and torment others, and they do this in the name of a god, this false identity cleverly created in its own image. Which is why people today, strap bombs to their chests and kill innocents, or we go off to war against other countries in the name of this god, and make legislation to keep people impoverished, sick, in debt, and far from liberty. This trickery began long before we were here, and if people don’t wake from it will continue long after we (in this form) are gone.

This lie dangles the carrot in front of us saying, if we only do this, or do that things will turn around for us. While also saying, we are imperfect, lost, dead in sin, hell bound, and that we can do nothing about it, that we must wait for some magic man in the sky to return, as opposed to coming to the revelation that the SAVIOR is within every one of us.

John 1:9
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

The SAVIOR is our LIFE, which is hid in Christ, which is hid in who we think we are. You will find that the scriptures are all the things people state them to be, but you have to SEE the SPIRIT of what these scriptures mean to get out of the only hell (your ignorant suffering) you are trapped in.

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY! Both parts, for one speaks about how we are to perceive and treat others, for we are all one, and the next part speaks of who we really are and how we should understand ourselves to be.

Philippians 2:3,4
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others

That’s right we need to stop thinking we are better than others for what we believe or how we live. That goes for EVERYONE, not one of us is better than the worst of us. And we MUST do unto others as we would want done unto ourselves, because in fact how we treat others is how we truly treat ourselves. Also, stop looking at ourselves as being the center of the universe and understand we are part of the whole, and the whole is the FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY. Either ignorant of this (dead in Adam) or Risen (enlightened in Christ).

Now look at the NEXT KEY INFORMATION!

Philippians 2:5,6
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.

I can’t spell it out any more plain than this. We are the exact same as Christ Jesus, and this is the KNOWLEDGE we must come to. We are all ONE IN THE SAME and as the SAME we are ONE. We are literally instructed to have the exact same mindset as Christ Jesus, meaning we must believe we too are the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON/DAUGHTER of GOD. That we can do nothing or ourselves. That our KINGDOM is not this world. That we are not of this world. And we MUST overcome who we think we are in this world.

Meaning people, the EGO has got to go.

Now I understand many people aren’t ready to hear that they will NEVER FIND SALVATION in confessing a literal name of a literal man from two thousand years ago, but I DO KNOW when they CONFESS the NAME OF CHRIST as THEIR OWN, when they PICK UP THEIR CROSS, AND DO AS HE/JESUS DID, that salvation is ours. And what will be will saved from? —- OUR IGNORANT EGO/ANTI-CHRIST – who is now sitting on the THRONE OF GOD (which is our mind, point to your temples people what is between them).

That’s right the ANTI-CHRIST sitting on the THRONE OF GOD, declaring himself to be GOD, is WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE… God’s throne is YOUR HEART/MIND. “KNOW YOU NOT THAT YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD” — And right now, who do you believe is in control of your life? — Most would say “who they believe themselves to be is in control” instead of dying to themselves, and saying I AM in control. Not my will (ego) but thine (God) be done.

In any event, this is why I have been writing plainly to you all, speaking the way I have been speaking, and not really holding anything back. The reason is I know that a VEILED FACE (understanding) is not going to lead anyone into the promise land (freedom/peace/righteousness/purpose)… As we saw Moses who VEILED his face, didn’t do such a great job, but kept people in the wilderness until they died.

And when I began sharing, at first it felt so liberating to finally step out from the fear of what others might think. I mean, let’s be real, I have nothing gain from any of this, and it is only my hope that by my sharing it will help others to also seek God’s face (understanding) for themselves. Not go to me, or some pastor, or religious leader who seems to have some answers, but go within. Pray “teach me the truth no matter what the cost”, ask questions and you will get answers, and be steadfast in it. Don’t ever stop, as I never stop but continue each day to learn more, to see more, and to be free more. I know God is faithful to answer every one of these prayers.

Because I know that if you are praying for the Truth no matter the cost, that is evidence you are in the process of coming to know the truth. Only those who do not pray this, and believe they have it all figured out will not pray this, and that is evidence they will not receive the truth. SO SEEK AND FIND, KNOCK AND THAT DOOR WILL OPEN, the gate is your mind, and CHRIST is your LIFE WAITING for the moment to free you from every idol (I doll) (false dead image of a living being)

So back to the purpose of this essay. Last night I took down my facebook page, but thanks to come emails I received I realized perhaps I don’t need to hide from what has been coming my way lately, but I should embrace it. It’s funny I don’t mind the attacks, but when people state I am the voice of God, or I am this, or I am that, I get very uncomfortable. The reason is I am no different from anyone, in fact I am, as Paul says, less than the least of you. I don’t consider myself to be a perfect, whole being (although I know we are all). I don’t consider every trial such a great pleasure (though I know it is). And I don’t have all the answers (Yet I know we all already do).

You see part of the reason I do my videos in such a strange way is because I don’t want people to look to me as someone special, even though admittedly I love the comments I get when something I write or say has touched someone. But I barely know what I am going to speak about when I do a video, and like tonight when I sit down to write, I have an idea of what I may write about but then thoughts flood my head and I go elsewhere. You see, I know all I have, I did not earn, I simply came to believe it was meant to be. With faith all things are possible. I don’t consider myself as some guru, or prophet, or leader, that’s why I get troubled when people state “you are leading people astray”… As if any of us has the power to lead anyone anywhere. I can do nothing of myself (my ego)… Everytime I act of that insecure, prideful, mask, I get into trouble… even though I have come to believe that even that is carefully orchestrated to bring about a perfect end to my ignorance and yours. All things work together indeed.

So, I wanted to run last night. Hide from it all. I’ve done it before. But then where would that leave all of this desire I have to share with people. I make it clear that I am probably a bigger train wreck emotionally than all of those reading or watching, so why all of the attention, both negative and positive? The truth is I don’t know, but I believe there is a great part of me that wants to be used to change the world for the better, a part of me that desires above all else to help people come to see how truly beautiful they really are… BECAUSE I DESIRE TO SEE THAT ABOUT MYSELF.

You see, what we do to other we do to ourselves. What we sow we reap. But sometimes, I need to pause and question why am I letting some people’s comments bother me, both good and bad. And in that pause I find myself again. I find my head again (Christ). I find that I am where I am, and what others believe about me, or say about me, is their bag not mine.

Look, people wanted Jesus to be their KING – their spiritual LEADER… And Jesus would have none of it. Because he, like I, understood to do so would be the very death of that person’s spiritual growth. The instant you make someone, like me or anyone else a SPIRITUAL LEADER to you, instead of just someone who is sharing something that you already know and simply have forgotten, you stunt your own growth and you refuse to enter into the land of promise that waits for you.

John 6:15
When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

You see, when those people were coming against me, I had so many other people encouraging me and telling me such wonderful things. Things like, you are the only one that has this truth, you are the mouthpiece of God, etc, etc… in fact they were saying that I was something greater than I am, and greater than them, and like Jesus when the people were amazed at what he had done in the land, he knew they wanted him to be their king, and like Jesus, I ALSO DEPARTED… I want no part of that. This is why I almost shut down my facebook account for good last night, and thought perhaps it was time to depart from everyone for good. People were starting to think higher of me than they should, on both sides of the equation. Some saying I am the mouthpiece of the devil, others saying I am the mouthpiece of God… the truth is, we are all both.

When we are led by our ego, we speak from the flesh (devil/ignorance/lies/lusts)… when we are led by the spirit, we speak from the spirit (God/Truth/Love)… And as long as you can’t tell the difference between the two, you will be hopelessly doubleminded and at war within.

Galatians 5:17
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

I digress, so I departed for a night. Took a breather and was in prayer all night, deep reflection for those that don’t like the word prayer :)… Up until 4 am, in my bed couldn’t sleep. Telling myself all sorts of lies about myself, I don’t measure up, I’m not the best husband, father, son, friend, I am stupid, ugly, dumb, etc, etc… and this temptation lasted all night. And I knew that was all it was, but I also knew it would pass and I would shake it off me. You see sometimes, you need those moments where you condemn yourself to realize you are none of those things.

Revelation 2:10
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life

You know when those times come, just understand that this (sin/foolish thinking) is in fact doing a good work for you, it is reminding you that when you condemn yourself YOU HURT YOURSELF, it is a great teacher this thing called the LAW of DEATH (ignorance). But if you are faithful unto this death, you will be given a crown of life for hanging in there and coming to the knowledge that you indeed are perfect, spotless, and beautiful in Christ (your true life).

While I was in this DEATH mindset, one thing kept coming to mind. And it was how so many followed Jesus so long as he fed them bread… But the instant he said, you must be as he is, they said he was blasphemous, a liar, deceiver, and condemned him, lied about him… You see so long as he was opening up the scriptures bit by bit for them, they LOVED HIM, but the instant he said, you have to EAT MY FLESH and DRINK MY BLOOD – In essence, you have to be ME, they were like SEE YA JESUS!

And this is the same thing I am beginning to find today. People want their bellies filled (carnal thinking) filled with insights and revelation, but we aren’t to LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, but EVERY WORD that comes out of GOD’S MOUTH… And this is the WORD YOU MUST DIGEST,

Philippians 2:5,6
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.

Ephesians 4:22
Put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts

I will be no King over any of you, I am not a spiritual leader, I am just who I am, and I am the same as you, as Jesus, as anymore… for we are all ONE.

Good ole Israel begged for a KING OVER THEM. God didn’t want that. God doesn’t anyone to come between the unity of God’s spirit. But carnal man (egokind) will always seek a King to rule them, to lead them, because they prefer being dumb sheep instead of realizing they are to be SHEPHERD’S THEMSELVES.

John 10:2
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep

So enter in, become the Shepherd, because… we are lights of this world, living epistles, the word of God revealed, the children of the most high, and to believe you are anything less is to SIN (miss the mark of who you really are).

I apologise if my short absence caused anyone any trouble at all. I can’t promise it won’t happen again, but I can promise, that it is for everyone’s good, mine and yours. For everything that happens in life is destined to happen, and eventually it will all bring us to a place where the only King we will have, is LOVE (God is Love and Truth and Spirit).

Love Is Salvation

“Love is Salvation”

This simple video got a lot of people angry at me on facebook. The irony is, it is the least controversial and most simple and beautiful video I’ve done. I didn’t cast down false doctrine, traditions, or beliefs, I spoke about the power of Love, God’s Love and for that people really came at me. It is strange to me. I suppose watching something where someone is simply saying, “Love is the answer,” is offensive to some. I sure hope it inspires some of you. Much love Jacob

CHURCH OF FACEBOOK

Below is a thread that began on my page a couple of nights ago. One of my friends asked me to post it on her page, I thought I would share the whole thread here as I know there is a lot of great stuff in here. My friend Dean, told me he once came across a woman’s post (he didn’t remember her name)… but she said on facebook: “why pay for the hotdog of religion when people are giving away juicy steak for free.” — I really love that, and have learned so much over the last two years from all my wonderful friends on here. — So please enjoy this, and please add to the conversation here in the comment section. Enjoy Jacob ( I did not edit this, so excuse any mistakes. 🙂

Jacob Israel: ‎”It is the Glory of God to conceal a thing” = God’s glory is to hide something. Christ (the truth) comes (literally means “reaveled”) in the hidden thing. We have this TREASURE HIDDEN in our EARTHEN vessel. What did God conceal? “Isaiah 45:15 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour”…. No longer I (ego) that lives. Because you give away all you have (all you think you are) to obtain the TREASURE that is HIDDEN in YOU

Glenda Jolly: got it..love it…saving it….much love and healing..keep us posted

Anastacia Hatcher: will be praying 4 ya. thanks 4 the fire balls.

Jacob Israel: Christ comes in The Glory of God = The Hidden thing which is God is revealed by the Power and Wisdom of God… which is WITHIN us. Because our LIFE (God is Life and Love ) is HID in CHRIST (The wisdom of God) – Christ (the wisdom of God) is the Hope of Glory (The hidden thing (God)
meaning – The Wisdom of God in you is the hope of understanding that God is HIDDEN IN YOU! “Ps 82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations” — look who else inherits the nations…. Revelation 21:7 “He” that overcometh shall inherit all things

Gayla Masterson: Word/ God/ Jesus/ Us= One. As One you are healed you just need to catch up to it for it is done. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Jacob Israel: When GOD wakes…. OVERCOMES your EGO, God will be ALL IN ALL. Everyone and all things is GOD’S INHERITANCE

Joe Danna: Oh, what must be waiting to be known.

Glenda Jolly: Jacob it is a gradual awakening yes?

Jacob Israel: Glenda, when we wake up from natural sleep, most times we fight it, othertimes it is gradual, for some sick of a NIGHTMARE it is QUICK! 🙂

Jacob Israel: Now here is the riddle? – If God inherits all things, and if we overcome inherits all things… who are we? And what else must be overcome beside the Veil of who we think we are, which God is HIDDEN within. … Hhhhmmmnnnn 🙂 … And who REALLY does the OVERCOMING? …. Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil (THE VEIL/EVIL), but overcome evil (THE VEIL) with good — GOD IS GOOD.

Glenda Jolly: He/God/us – Word/God/Jesus/Us=One. God rises up and overcomes.

Glenda Jolly: God does the overcoming..I can of myself do nothing…right?

Jacob Israel: Jesus said “I” (Ego of Jesus) can do nothing of My “self/ego of Jesus”

Joe Danna: How can we do something that’s already unchangeable/Omnipresent? It was never done in our time/space concepts. It just is. So we need to stop “doing” and just BE (still and know I’m God).

Joe Danna: Is=Mother Ra=Father El=God

Christine Ikenberry Molina: AMEN!! AMEN!! AMEN!! I think some will “leave out” the part where Christ must wake / rise / be formed in you in order for the spirit of God to “Dwell in you”, in order for you to have “eternal life”. They forget that “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground AND DIE, it abideth alone: but IF IT DIE, IT BRINGETH FORTH MUCH FRUIT.” There is a “resurrection” that must take place. And when HE IS RISEN, we are RISEN WITH HIM! Then we come to know THE POWER of HIS RESURRECTION… by having “part in” THE FIRST RESURRECTION. PTL!! Good luck with your surgery tomorrow, Jacob, and GET WELL SOON!! So you’ll be able to take of that little one that will be arriving soon. It is getting close, isn’t it?

Jacob Israel: The trap is thinking who you think you are (your ego) is God. Who you think you are you must Deny – meaning you don’t really exist as your Ego, Your “Ego” Is not really you. So trust that all things are happening exactly as planned. All things work together indeed. You (your ego) will never be like God…God is hidden in Your Ego, and for many their Ego right now is their god. (god of this world = our lusts, all that is in the world (lust of the eyes, flesh, pride of life))…. Your Egos god is a your Ego (A projection of your Ego)… Your Ego made a god in It’s image (wrathful, angry, hypocritical, not in control, impotent, doesn’t finish anything in victory, jealous, etc.) But the ONE TRUE GOD, which is OUR LIFE, is merely hiding behing the VEIL/EVIL (ignorance) which is man’s ego… “The Veil that is to say, the flesh (carnal thinking/ego” – and the good news, is “that which was, and is not, and yet is” doesn’t really exist, and a lie (who you think you are) only lasts until the BRIGHTNESS (enlightenment) of Christ’s coming (The power and wisdom of God is uncovered, revealed, risen)—- SOOOOOO, ‎”Let go of YOUR ego” for you wafflers out there.

Joe Danna: The ego is just a shell of encapsulated thinking within the One. There would be no sense of limited ego identification, or anything, without the One. The One is in ALL and all is in the One (In you I live and move and have my being). There is NO two sides. There are degrees of wakefulness all within the One. We never really left. Only our sense of identity can be misplaced…and I certainly am not fully SELF-Realized like Jesus and the Avatars. I can’t think who I think I am is God because God is Omnipotent and “I” can’t even control my digestion.

Marie Baker Can you please put this link on my page? I can copy your post but, not all the comments… SPEAK BROTHER~ PS. Pray all is well with you and fam~

Wanda Lee Farlow: There is some might good word here,wow wow ,wow, and truth wow

Ann Trapp Hall: Fabulous!All of you are awesome! I have tasted and have experienced incoruptiblity.. It is amazing and it is all God no us. Prayers for you Jacob.There is still time for that miraculous healing . Come on God..

Dawn Davis Hairston: God Hid Himself in us…..The us who we think we are (ego/carnal man) doesn’t even exist,,,its an idol….and when we (god) rips/ removes that …The true Christ in us is revealed!….good stuff Jacob….great comments too

Suzette Swart :‎….yes, who we think we are does not exist, it is a lie…’The Carnal Mind is no longer within the New Creation, it was crucified with Christ- Golgotha, the place of the Skull, WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. Then why do we have carnal thoughts and reasonings, because those thoughts of the first Adam are spirit that are outside of us now, that come against us… People think they are not changed because these thoughts come, but the body and soul still maintain contact with the “WORLD” ,, from which these thoughts come to rule the body and soul as they had in Adam just before the fall and all mankind before the unveiling that Christ was slain before the foundation of the world. Those thoughts are just rememberance of the former way of life, but if not taken captive, we will believe they are still our present state, but they are not, they are a lie. (Joseph Black says it very well) JACOB, ALL THE BEST FOR TODAY! Bless you Jacob Israel!!! Awesome thread!

Daniel Fraser: I agree Jacob, The Christ & our Father is hid from the world in all of us, & it is our place to reveal Them to the world. Jesus said in John 14:23 that Him & His (or our) Father will live in us.


Joe Danna: ‎…and there will be many who are surprised on that day.

Ann Trapp Hall: Right on Suzette.. Daniel that is so true we are the book of Revealation.

—- I hope we all continue to share and learn from each other. Just want to say thank you all for being in my life. Even those who never comment at all. Much love, Jacob Israel

“The Smiles, The Smiles” a poem

Jacob Israel5 Comments


“THE SMILES, THE SMILES”

The smiles, the smiles, what do they hide?
A kind heart twisted from the pain inside?
A tortured soul pretending everything is all right?
Or a beautiful spirit pricked by the thorns in ones side?

The smiles the smiles, what are they for?
A desperate soul longing for more?
A million cares, worries, fears, insecurities one can’t ignore.

The smiles, the smiles where have they gone,
The desperate ones fighting to break free from the stranglehold that has held us for too long.
Wanting to know right from wrong but never feeling one belongs.

The smiles, the smiles, of those around so hard this day to be found.
One day you are up the next you are down.
Why, oh why does our pain continually come around?

The smiles, the smiles no longer able to fake.
The unbearable pain that so many willingly take.
The greed of others, their judgment and hate, rain down filling sorrows lake.

The smiles, the smiles do we remember what a true one feels like. Have we forgotten how to find them, and if so do we know why? Where have the days gone when life was more about living than fighting to find life?
When will we no longer need to avoid fears knife?

The smiles, the smiles, can we find again the joy we’ve left behind. Will we sell, heartaches well, the one we continue to fill with the swill of the daily grind?
Will we stand against pressures hand to find the land where the smiles, the smiles always arrive on time?

The smiles, the smiles they long to be free, It isn’t dificult to find your smile this you will soon see.
The time is now to let things be what they be, the trappings of this world are the lies that have tricked you and me.
The frowns of our downs will be swallowed by the smiles victory.

The smiles, the smiles will stretch to the corners of our face.
The smiles, the smiles oh yes, fear, pain, and worry they will erase.
The smiles, the smiles, let them rise and you will finish this race. The smiles, the smiles sure they have been gone for awhile, but now we need to put them back in their place.

So smile my friend, smile even if you are facing the end, smile when you want to cry, smile when you would rather die, smile when everything is too hard, smile when you feel like you have gone too far, been too marred, too scarred, smile my friend even when you don’t want to. Smile this is what you must do. For in the smile is the key to peace that has been avoiding you. In the smile is the end of the lies you have believed, in the smile you will find the truth.

Because the smiles, the smiles are your escape, so let your smile overtake this moment, and don’t forget to hold it. Keep that smile on your face until know it, until you can show it, until you feel it, until the smiles, the smiles deliver you and you know it.

Keep smiling everyone, everything is going to be okay, Jacob

ENTER THE STRAIGHT GATE

ENTER THE STRAIGHT GATE

This video is straight from my heart. It is by far one of my favorite to date, which is ironic considering I thought it would become one of my worst. That alone is a great revelation, sometimes the things that we ignorantly (carnally) believe to be the worst thing for us, when looked at with different eyes (non-judgmental) become one of the greatest things for us and others. Find out the truth of who you are, set your sights on things that are higher, believe all things are possible, and start looking at your life and the life of others as precious. Enter the straight gate and become the shephard of the sheep. Enjoy and feel free to share, Jacob

Lamb of God?

Jacob Israel41 Comments



Now let me start by saying approach this article with an open mind. Use your God give common sense, see if the words I have written make sense, and if the scriptures I use back up the statements made. Don’t read into what I am writing and try to conjure in your mind what I am saying, read what I am writing and it should be clear what I am saying. Now if you aren’t ready to really dive off into the depths of what is here, don’t. I won’t be offended and you won’t be damned or any less of God’s child if you don’t read on. The difference between me and religion, is I don’t want anything from you, I don’t need anything from you, nor do you have to do anything to reach what I believe are the heights that God (in us all) has prepared for us all, the truth of this may be hidden from some for now, but trust me, not always. God will have ALL come to the knowledge of the truth and the stature of the perfect man, but EACH ONE in their own order. So I hope you enjoy this essay, which as always I start with a basic idea and who knows if I will ever come to it. But I guarantee this is a paper that needs to be written and read by those who read it. WHY? you ask… The answer is simple… BECAUSE I AM WRITING IT 🙂 Enjoy Jacob

“LAMB OF GOD?”

John 1:29
Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Ah, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world, we all know that scripture well. We read it and we instantly think of that 6 foot tall white man with a perfectly trimmed beard and blue eyes. That’s right the idol of Jesus. The one everyone says, we need to believe in to be saved.

But is believing in a dead man from two thousand years ago Salvation? Or is that just a line we have been sold? Or is salvation within us all. If Christ IN you is the HOPE of Glory, why do so many put their faith in a Christ OUT of them, far away, and supposedly coming soon?

Well the answer is simple. The longer one is told they have to do this or that, and then wait for salvation, then these “sheep/lambs” will continue to support those telling them to do so. So sad is the state of religion of mankind and those trapped by it, that it seems to me no surprise that daily my eyes are opened to new and exciting truths that put the beliefs I was force-fed as an ignorant sheep/lamb of god of their head.

So must we believe is someone outside of ourselves to have salvation, and that is all. Must we wait for this once dead and now risen man to return to whisk us away, or is salvation of God and of God alone… And does this salvation come from within us, and within us alone.

Isaiah 12:2
Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘ For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.’

The Old Testament always made it clear that coming to know God is your salvation and strength. Salvation has little to do with simply agreeing with what some preacher, profit (spelling intended), priest, rabbi, Iman, or guru tells you, and it has everything to do with “coming to this knowledge and understanding” that God IN You, is the only hope there is. Could it be that salvation does not come with any other cost, then simply giving up who you think you are in this world, giving up your fears, blind worship, guilt, worry, doubt, ignorance, suffering, and “I”dentity, instead of holding on to all of that and believing in a man people tell you, YOU NEED TO ACCEPT AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR OR ELSE!

Isaiah 33:6
Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation

Wisdom is written about all over scripture. It states that…

Proverbs 4:7
Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding

Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing. That means it is the MOST IMPORTANT THING? So where does that leave out the worshipping of a SINGLE MAN? Nowhere is the answer.

We are told very clearly where our worship should be, and it is not to worship a Man or a Son of Man… Which unfortunately, everyone is doing. They have reduced the Image of the Incorruptible God into the IMAGE of a corruptible MAN. Meaning, there are MILLIONS that don’t seek salvation at all, because they have been brainwashed into believing in an IDOL. An IDOL mind you that NEEDS to be put to death, to take away this great sin. After all the Lamb of God is sacrificed and in so doing, it takes away the sins of the world. The long and short of it people is this, your worship of a single man outside you from years ago, called the Son of Man is one of man’s greatest sins (errors).

Numbers 23:19
“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good

Notice this, MAN lies, AND the SON OF MAN needs to repent. AND GOD IS NEITHER. And this Jesus that everyone is worshipping today, was the SON OF MAN, as well as being the Son of God, but here is a newsflash… SO ARE WE!

1 John 4:17
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE in this world

Now you wouldn’t go around telling people they need to believe in you, worship you, and bow down and serve you to be saved, would you? OF COURSE NOT! The reason is, you innately know that God is much more than your SOUL, much more than who you think you are in this world, God is NOT A MAN, or the SON OF MAN, or the EGO OF MAN. No, God is out life! The SPIRIT that exists in all, animated all, leads all, molds all, and this spirit is ONE, not many, ONE!

Salvation will NEVER come by simply worshipping, or claiming someone’s name, or going to church every sunday and doing what the sheep shearers tell you to do. Salvation ONLY COMES, the SINS OF THE WORLD are only taken away when the LAMB IS SLAIN! – When you die to who you think you are, when you let go of the cares of this world, when you stop worshipping yourself and believe yourself to be in control of everything, and become one with the SPIRIT OF GOD, which is HIDING away inside the veil, that is to say, your IGNORANCE/FLESH/EGO.

So salvation comes with understanding, with wisdom. After all WISDOM IS A TREE OF LIFE. The only way we will be saved is by casting off the OLD MAN (who we thought we were/sheep/lamb) and renewing our minds, by taking on the MIND OF CHRIST. (meaning the power and wisdom of God)

1 Corinthians 1:24
Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

So why are people telling you, you need to accept Jesus into your heart, make him Lord of your life, and then pointing you to a man from thousands of years ago to put your faith in, as opposed to directing you to the TRUTH that has been hidden from the ages, the Mystery of the Kingdom of God, which has ALWAYS BEEN WITHIN YOU? Why aren’t they telling you to turn within, and stop paying tribute to idols, and false beliefs and traditions? Why aren’t they teaching about how the ONLY HOPE OF GLORY there is, is CHRIST IN YOU, THE KINGDOM IN YOU?!

The answer is simple… MARKETING 101. This is a time-tested technique. The elite, know most people will just take their word for it and won’t go to God. The elite, are egotistical liars who are enslaving God’s children, they are task masters who want to keep everyone in fear and guilt and keep the only salvation there TRULY IS far from them.

Let’s take a look at the tools of marketing for a second. Anyone with a marketing or business degree knows this. There are basically four things to make a business succesful, and religion has mastered it. Let’s take a look at them.

1) Create a need – (Tell people they need salvation and tell them even though they didn’t do anything wrong, the bible says they were born this way, then get them to NEED religion to make them feel better about their now obvious insecurity, that religion created)
2) Meet that need – (Tell people, the only way to have salvation from the troubles in the world is to accept this Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Krishna, Pope, or whatever other savior they offer as their product to end all products)
3) Create a reward system – (Tell people if they do what they are told to do, they will one day know Heaven, and all the perfect joy that goes along with it)
4) Create a consequence for not buying into the product being sold – (tell the people if they don’t buy what they are selling they will BURN FOREVER, scare them into the cult of religion)

Now many churches take it further, like the Catholics to ensure a constant flow of customers. (Tell the people they can’t use birth control and the instant they are born say they need to be baptized, then create steps so all along that person’s life they need to keep meeting these goals OR ELSE)

I am not picking on Catholics here, just trying to point out something. Religion takes scripture, which they obviously don’t truly understand or have a greater revelation of and twist it to fit their agenda.

Let’s be real people, they say the goal of the Christian Churches and their thousands of denominations is to SAVE SOULS… Many evangelical preachers will go so far as to say based on the number of people who came up to the altar that they SAVED 50, or a 100, or more… And then will tell people we need to raised more money to save more… But let’s be real, God doesn’t need anyone’s money to save, and God can save perfectly well without the help of religion.

The sad and ugly truth of Religion is this, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY! SHOW US THE MONEY AND WE’LL SHOW YOU HEAVEN, they promise. Yet, they do nothing but make people more ignorant and hurt than they are.

Matthew 23:15
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves

So why am I here? To tell you, you don’t need to do what religion says, you don’t need to go to church, you don’t need to give into fear tactics, you don’t need to give your money, you don’t need to do anything but RETURN TO GOD! And the only way to do that is to GO WITHIN YOURSELF and SEEK TO FIND!

It is truly disturbing what I see in the land today. Sadder still is the fact that when I was ignorant of the scriptures, and still a child in my walk, I too was a fool (didn’t really believe in God because I believed in religions god, which is CARNAL MAN’S EGO)… the god of this world, is the god religion is worshipping today and it is MANKIND’S EGO. But now that my eyes have been opened I see that the key has always been within, and it isn’t up to me or anyone else to say you have to do this or to do that to find salvation. It’s up to God, and he will place the desire in your heart to find the TRUTH for yourself, which will set you free. WE DON’T DO THE WORK REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE FEAR MONGERS TEACH!

Titus 3:3-5
3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 NOT by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit

We are SAVED, when our MINDS ARE CHANGED, RENEWED. And until that day, sadly religious people are so hateful, prideful, and insecure that anyone who states something different from what they have been brainwashed into believing, the fangs come out. And it isn’t pretty. But this is only because they are ignorant to the truth. They don’t have the knowledge of the TRUTH.

Proverbs 10:21
The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of wisdom

Now I know what I am writing here may sound blasphemous for some. But I am telling you the truth, religion is not the answer, the belief in a single man from thousands of years ago is not the answer (his life was an allegory, a pattern, the way we all must travel), the only salvation there is to be found is in the here and now, not the hereafter and the good news is all will find this. Which is why we must love and forgive all. LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS! Now for many these words will seem as vulgar, and I may be called terrible names (which I do not mind, nor should you), because…

2 Corinthians 4:3
But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing

Now does this mean, they are going to die… NO! It means their EGO, their outer man is still dying. They haven’t put off that former conversation with the flesh (which basically is, worship the image of mankind instead of the spirit hidden within the image) – This OUTWARD man, this OUTWARD BELIEF, HAS TO GO… And the good news is, it will!

2 Corinthians 4:16
Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

I want you to look at the TWO GODS in this world. One is TRUE, One is FALSE.. Then question and ask yourself which God is the God you worship.

God wants to deliver and set free, his words and promises are true, does not condemn, saves all.

Mankind’s ego (god of this world) wants to rule, hoard, dictate, condemn, and control, is a hypocrite who condemns, damns.

The True God – is our Father – which when translated from the original text doesn’t mean father in the natural sense… not at all. You might be surprised to find out what it means however. You have to remember the bible uses metaphoric language, it is an allegory (and yes some has literal meaning, but even that has a metaphorical undertone and truth to is) – So we must discern, and seek the deeper meaning of even the simple words we find like “Oh Father who art in heaven” – If we don’t we will see God as an Old Man with a beard… as opposed to what scripture states God to be.

John 4:24
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth

And no one can see the SPIRIT… It is like the WIND, as are the children of the GREAT SPIRIT called GOD or FATHER… So when we read Father, we are not meant to take it as a literal man, but as a generator, creator, a divine force that creates, leads, and guides… as temporal Father’s do.

Here is the original word and definition.

FATHER: path/r – the originator and transmitter of anything the authors of a family or society of persons animated by the same spirit as himself one who has infused his own spirit into others, who actuates and governs their minds

And our GOD IS ONE… which means the self-same spirit that is IN ME, is IN YOU! And this SPIRIT governs our thoughts! So even though we have DIED and left the world of the living for the LUSTS OF THIS DEATH (IGNORANCE/FALSE BELIEFS), WE WILL RETURN to the UNITY we had before the creation of the world… and I means the LUSTS THEREIN.

1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

So let me try to briefly get into the LAMB OF GOD, and dispel some of the false beliefs we have had about this LAMB as being a symbol of peace and salvation. When in fact the LAMB is the very thing that needs to BE PUT TO DEATH. The LAMB IS THE OLD MAN, slain from the foundation of the world.

News flesh: If this article has been troubling to you, it’s about to change everything for you. Proceed with an open mind and heart,

Revelation 13:8
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world

Now this is about to change everything about what you have believed about this LAMB! First please notice, the BOOK OF LIFE… what is the BOOK OF LIFE ABOUT… The answer is, THE LAMB SLAIN.

The Book of Life OF the lamb slain.

Now we would think this means, that the LAMB was Jesus and he was sacrificed to save us before the literal world began… BUT YOU’D be thinking wrong. The LAMB/SHEEP of God is HUMANITY… Adam/jesus/everyone – ADAM was slain… Adam means HUMANITY, MANKIND it nothing to do with a single man, but it means ALL OF MANKIND. It is a plural word, Adam is.

Genesis 1:27
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created THEM!

Note the word THEM… Man=mankind = all of us. And when the WORLD (we know by now, this means the LUSTS OF THE WORLD) was conceived in the mind of man (eating of that tree) mankind was slain.

Oh I know, many will say this is not what it means. But let’s look at that verse in revelation again, and translate a few words for you, to see WHY the LAMB was slain. And here is a hint, it wasn’t TO SAVE ANYONE, it was SLAIN (cut off from the land of living/enlightenment) FROM, FROM, FROM the foundation of these LUSTS (WORLD). Why did I write FROM three times? Because it doesn’t mean from as in a literal date… Take a look at what it literally means.


FROM = Apo = of separation
of local separation, after verbs of motion from a place i.e. of departing, of fleeing, …
FROM = Apo = of origin
of the place whence anything is, comes, befalls, is taken
of origin of a cause

The Lamb (humanity) was slain (when it began to believe itself separate from the whole(God) by creating these lusts (lusts of eyes, flesh, pride of life)

So really this scripture has nothing to do with a single man being murdered to appease some vengeful gods wrath. But it has everything to do with how we (humanity) became ignorant of God… we created an EGO for ourselves and then began to worship that EGO (old/outward man) and we even created a god out of that EGO and we called him Jesus. This my friends is the sad truth. Although many will say Jesus the MAN is God (knowing full well scripture says God is not a man) – people need to understand the message that Jesus of the scriptures was trying to get across… If you don’t lose your EGO you won’t save your sense of identity and life, if you don’t follow him and do as he did (crucify the flesh), if you DON’T BECOME THE SLAIN LAMB you won’t be worthy to open the BOOK OF LIFE which is yours to begin with, to find every NAME (nature) that is written in there. Jesus wanted people to take their eyes of of his “I”dentity/ego… and put their eyes on the FATHER.

The FATHER – which simply means the ORIGINATOR AND CONTROLLER OF EVERYTHING IN US, ABOUT US, FOR US.

If Jesus the “ego” man was a good man, he wouldn’t have corrected the rich man.

Mark 10:18
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God

Jesus was always trying to get people to take their eyes off of him, and place them on God.

John 8:28
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

If Jesus honored himself, as Christian Religious leaders try to get you to honor him, he would be as big a mess as the people teaching that nonsense.

John 8:54
Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me

Here is the problem in a nutshell. People worship Man’s Ego (the one formed from the dust that the serpent eats (carnal mind assimilates)… instead of Man’s SPIRIT which is LIFE INDEED.

And why wouldn’t we? We have been sold a lie from the day we were old enough to understand the words coming out of the liars mouths. REMEMBER the first man (nature of you and me) is dead in our trespass… and what is our trespass (the foundation of the world) – the creation of these lusts within us, thinking we are god, believing we have to do this or that to inherit anything. The Ego man has been exalting himself about God for so long, saying God is outside of him or her that God (who is man’s true spirit) had to cast him and her down.

Isaiah 14:12-14
12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High

I know some of you will say, WAIT A MINUTE THAT IS SATAN… well I don’t have time to correct that, but God will, and I do have an article about Lucifer on this blog to the left of your screen somewhere, find it.

So why did the LAMB need to be sacrificed? — TO TAKE AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD… because it was the LAMB (ignorant mankind) that fell victim to all of this nonsense to begin with. So the LAMB has to be slain, and once it is SLAIN – it will be worthy to open the greater truths of God.

I know you think the Lamb is a peaceful animal and a symbol of our savior. News for you, the LAMB is the farthest thing from the SAVIOR… that is why it needs to be put to death. THE SHEPHERD is the savior not the sheep.

First let’s look at the characteristics of the LAMB, which is basically a Sheep (thanks Dean Dosher for that one :))

LAMB/SHEEP
1. timid, fearful, easily panicked
2. dumb stupid, gullible
3. mob psychology
4. easily influenced
5. very vulnerable to fear, frustration
6. Short sighted, bad reasoning skills
7. no means of self-defense; can only run
8. easily killed by enemies
9. jealous, competitive for dominance
10. can’t tell between good and bad water to drink
11. Will die if left alone.
12. perverse
13. stubborn
14. easily flipped over on back, unable to get back on feet and will die without help
15. frequently looking to rest or sleep
16. don’t like to be cleaned
17. creatures of habit
19. need the MOST care out of ALL livestock
20. totally dependent of shepherd for every need
21. need “rod and staff” guidance – NEEDS TO BE FORCED BY SUFFERING

Does that sound like a LEADER AND SAVIOR? A sheep is a total meathead, is scared all the time, can’t defend itself from enemies, subject to the mob mentality (sound like any religious people we know), doesn’t want to be cleaned, can’t tell the difference between dirty or clean water, is perverse and will eat poisonous things, and if it lands on its back, IT CAN’T GET BACK UP!

Wake up call people… The Lamb and the Lion lying down together is not some great beautiful picture of peace, it is an allegory of how all the ENEMIES (egotistical natures in man) of GOD will not be able to hurt those enlightened to the truth. OF COURSE THE LION, WOLF, BEAR, SNAKE, AND LAMB hang together, they are meant for each other, because they are all FALSE IDENTITIES in MANKIND.

Don’t believe me, look at this verse carefully.

Isaiah 11
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. 7And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. 9They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Read that again, scripture states the LAMB SHALL NO LONGER HURT OR DESTROY those in God’s holy mountain…. I know right? Crazy!

Think about it, being a fearful, ignorant, helpless lamb is more damaging to the Kingdom of God then anything. The animals we find here are all symbols of natures in mankind. The GOOD NEWS IS, one day, these natures will not hurt GOD’S PEOPLE… why you ask? BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD!

Let’s take another look at the LION and LAMB, and how the Lamb and Lion story is not some beautiful story about everyone getting along, but about how once people come to the knowledge of the truth these perverse natures within us, will be a thing of the past… BECAUSE THEY WILL BE SACRIFICED AND KILLED OFF!

Isaiah 65
23They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. 24And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. 25The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

Once again, we see Isaiah quoting God as saying the LAMB WILL NO LONGER HURT OR DESTROY in my HOLY MOUNTAIN (which is of course our heart/mind) — God states hear, God is in control and things will be good, and we will suffer no more. NOT BECAUSE HE MURDERED A MAN NAMED JESUS, but because we SACRIFICED this LAMB NATURE to take away the SINS OF THE WORLD.

Think about it, what happened to be killed and utterly destroyed for the spirit of death to pass by in Egypt? THE LAMB! Then once that was done they were set free!

When John was pointing out the LAMB OF GOD that takes away the sins of the world, he was pointing out the OUTWARD MAN, that HAS TO BE SACRIFICED… As Jesus said, WE ARE CRUSIFIED WITH HIM, as Jesus said we must pick up our cross and follow him, we too as the LAMB OF GOD must enter that sheepgate to become the Shepherd of the sheep.

Sheep are not called into the Sheep Gate so a man named Jesus can take care of them… They are called into the Sheepgate to be slaughtered! That is what the Sheep gate is, it is where the Lambs/Sheep are brought to be sacrificed for the sins of the world.

We are as SHEEP lead to slaughter are we not? This is good news. We are led to a place where we can put the false nature/identity of who we think we are to death, and then we can be risen again into life. And what happens when we enter the sheep fold?

John 10
2But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

The Door is CHRIST, And when you enter into Christ the OLD MAN (LAMB) must die.

Hosea 4:16
For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place

Mankind has forgotten the truth of who they are, they have backslidden, and they have become (lambs) fearful, timid, dumb, perverse, etc etc…

Luke 10:3
Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

Now believe it or not, this really is great news for me and you. WE CAN’T FAIL! We will do as Israel did we will sacrifice that “lamb/sheep” nature, we will do as Jesus did, we will “sacrifice our lamb/sheep nature” and the instant we do so, we will be resurrected into the newness of LIFE. The LIFE that we left.

Isaiah 53
6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

If you have eyes to see it… this speaks of us, and the God within us… We are the Lambs/sheep that went astray, we have been oppressed, afflicted, we are brought as lamb’s to slaughter (thank God for this) we have been dumb as sheep, we have been taken from the prison and judgment of our ignorance, we were CUT OFF FROM THE LAND OF THE LIVING (enlightened), we made our grave with the wicked and rich in death (ignorance) and because of all of this, our TRUE NATURE (Christ in Us/God’s Holy Spirit) had to bear it all, as we bore it all… FOR WE ARE ONE PEOPLE AND WE WILL ALWAYS BE ONE!

I know this essay is a difficult one, and I myself am still learning, so ask and receive, seek and find, never take the word of Man, but go to God. I can only report what I believe to be true… the question is, “who will believe our report? To whom is the arm of the lord revealed?”

Much love, Jacob

The Samaritan and the Thieves

This video centers around the story of the good Samaritan. I guarantee you have never heard it interpreted this way. But the “one” who fell upon thieves has more to do with most people going to religion for answers than it does some unlucky guy who got robbed and beat. I also touch on who and what the “god of this world” is, and for many it may come as a shock but it isn’t some spooky horned and tailed red monster from the movies. I haven’t been feeling well so I am going to be taking some time away from doing these soon until the surgery is over and I am healed up, but in the mean time I want to thank you all for your support, encouragement, and especially your views.
