This video has a lot to offer, a lot to take in, and definately not like the same. Stick around until the end for a special surprise insight from a good friend of mine! Enjoy Jacob
THE DEATH OF RELIGION
THE DEATH OF RELIGION
Samuel said to Saul, “You’ve done foolishly… Now YOUR kingdom shall NOT continue. The Lord is looking for those after his own heart!”
If this above passage doesn’t speak volumes to you about the state of religion today then you must revist this story again. Saul’s Kingdom was in the wilderness, David’s Kingdom was established in the land of promise. Saul was consumed with pride, tormented, no longer cared for God’s timing or ways. Saul could not kill the GIANT carnal nature within him, because his man made armor did not fit. Instead of recognizing the new day and the way of love and faith, Saul sought to kill the “beloved of God/David”. David (Those beloved of God) would not take the Kingdom by force, but waited on God. In the end Saul would perish, as would those who stood with him. David would assume the crown of Righteousness. This is the day we are in. The Death of Religious abuse and persecution is at it’s end. And we, Like David, will dance into the land of promise naked (free from the religius beliefs that hid our true nature from sight)
This is a wake up call for all of us. We must ask God “teach me the truth no matter what the cost.” Because LOVE, ACCEPTANCE, PEACE, AND SHARING is what will bring the greatest riches to mankind. I pray this speaks directly to those who need to hear it.
GREAT WHITE THRONE OF JUDGMENT
GREAT WHITE THRONE OF JUDGMENT
I was asked recently, by one of the readers here, what I considered to be the “great White Throne Of Judgment”. This is something I haven’t ever considered before, but no sooner did I read the inquiry then the answer came. If you want to know, it’s pretty simple, it’s your Brain. It’s the mechanism used to judge things, including yourself. It’s white, and boy is it great. Considering the MIND OF CHRIST and GOD is what we are meant to have. And the kingdom is within us all, it would only make sense that the BRAIN is this GREAT WHITE THRONE. But I wanted to give a more explained reason why this is the case. You know, for those people who believe one day, there will be a literal throne that some old guy with a beard is going to be sitting on judging at the end of literal days. As opposed to understanding…. 1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment MUST begin at the house of God: and if it first BEGIN AT US, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? Okay, that really should put this whole future judgment belief to rest. It’s pretty clear that JUDGMENT BEGINS AT THE HOUSE OF THE LORD (which is the TEMPLE OF GOD, which is US) … The very next sentence also hammers that point home… IT FIRST BEGINS AT US But for those, who want more… I will gladly oblige…. Let’s talk about the whole LOOK of this THRONE. 1 Kings 10:18-20 Then the king made a great throne covered with ivory and overlaid with fine gold. The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays. And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom. Okay the obvious part is, the brain when cleaned off for study, the brain matter is the color of ivory, and it’s outward color could be considered gold… As if the whole brain was overlaid with it. BUT THAT IS NOT THE COOL PART HERE PEOPLE… Look at the next description of the THRONE, it had six steps. LITTLE KNOWN FACT ABOUT OUR BRAIN: Neuroanatomists usually consider the brain to consist of six main regions: the telencephalon (cerebral hemispheres), diencephalon (thalamus and hypothalamus), mesencephalon (midbrain), cerebellum, pons, and medulla oblongata. – The SIX STEPS to the THRONE – Right there, the six major regions of the brain, not to mention the six major neurotransmitters… But let’s move on, and consider the further description of this THRONE. …and the top of the throne was round behind 
< It’s pretty obvious how round the BRAIN is, top, and behind. But where it gets more interesting is the description of the TWELVE LIONS standing on ONE SIDE and the OTHER. These my friends are the TWELVES PAIRS OF CRANIAL nerves, WHICH stand on both side of the BRAIN. Which make us the 24 KINGS sitting around the THRONE OF GOD. (Which should be obvious by now, is our BRAIN) 
< Now look, the reason understanding this is important is because you begin to understand that GOD is actually WITHIN YOU, and that God is not OUTSIDE of you far away, waiting to condemn or reward you for your life. In actuality, God is your LIFE, for everything exists in CHRIST (God’s anointing of spirit of truth) – this is why we are told again and again… Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 1 Corinthians 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God This is what judgment really means – Most people believe, judgment means OFF TO JAIL YOU GO! But the true definition of Judgment is simply, “to separate right from wrong, truth from error” – And this is what happens each and every day WITHIN US. We are constantly being judged, we are constantly being separated from the wrong thinking so the TRUTH is the only thing left. Now I know there are some Religious leaders that will feed that ego of man, and say… “One day, we will be like kings judging everyone else, saying “this one is good and this saint is bad”! These religious leaders give you the false belief (WHICH FEEDS YOUR EGO, VANITY, AND PRIDE) that somehow because you said something, or did something, God is going to set you up so you can become the Boss and tell people who is right and who is wrong. BUT, THIS IS NOT TRUE! When we judge the WORLD, we aren’t judging others, we are judging OUR LUSTS WITHIN. 1 Corinthians 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? This ALL takes place within. The LITERAL WORLD doesn’t need to be judged, what needs to be judged is what is IN THE WORLD…. 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. Not only will God WITHIN US, AS US, have US, to judge the LUSTS within us, but we will also judge our thoughts… otherwise known as ANGELS (thoughts, or messengers) 1 Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? Sorry, for those people who think, we’ll be up there saying, “Gabriel, put that trumpet down, you’re a bad boy!” NO! Doesn’t it make more sence, since JUDGMENT BEGINS AT THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, IN US… That we would be judging our thoughts, the thoughts of others, and our actions? THINK ABOUT IT! Cast aside all the Hollywood supernatural stories you have been told, get rid of thinking you’re going to be come supernatural King ruling with an iron fist, THAT’S ALL VANITY! God is no respecter of persons. We only need to…. Philippians 2:12 … work out your own salvation… Not only that, but is God double minded, does God say, DON’T JUDGE OTHERS and then say, “Okay, down the road it will be okay!” NO! Luke 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment Romans 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. Once we take our eyes off everyone else, and put them on ourselves, we will be closer to the KINGDOM OF GOD then ever before. BECAUSE THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN! SO BACK TO THIS GREAT WHITE THRONE OF JUDGMENT = OUR BRAIN Consider, a throne represents a place a Kingdom is ruled from. The King sits on that throne and rules. He has complete control and authority over his kingdom. It should not be hard to see, that a Throne represents this, and if the Kingdom that is in question here is the KINGDOM of GOD, then we must question where the throne is? Luke 17:21 21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you In other articles, it’s established the word KINGDOM does not mean LITERAL KINGDOM, but translates into REIGN or Rule… So we can easily understand that GOD REIGNS and RULES from WITHIN US. You don’t have to be a great theologian to understand this. We are ruled by our thoughts. Good (God) or Bad (Ego/Devil). So would it be that hard to believe that the THRONE OF GOD, the GREAT WHITE THRONE, that God SITS ON and RULES from is OUR BRAIN? It shouldn’t be! Remember LIFE IS NOW! RESURRECTION IS NOW! JUDGMENT IS NOW! We are not talking about some future event, we are talking about RIGHT NOW! 2 Thessalonians 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand/HERE NOW So if JUDGMENT begins now, in the House of the LORD, just what do you believe the THRONE OF GOD IS? It’s all about THINKING! Ephesians 4:22-24 22That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23And be renewed in the spirit of your MIND; 24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness THE ONLY WAY FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IS FOR JUDGMENT TO BEGIN WITHIN! Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus And what MIND was in Christ, GOD’S WILL/WAYS… Jesus said, “I can only do what the Father does, say what the Father says” But Jesus wasn’t the only one that understood, “He could do NOTHING of himself/His Ego/Who others thought he was! 1 Corinthians 4:4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord We are ALL RULED by a higher authority, which is sitting on the THRONE – OUR THINKING is ruled by God. Who is judging (sorting out the truth from lies) within us. And only the PURE TRUE THOUGHTS will enter into EVERLASTING LIFE, the thoughts of fear, greed, worried, etc… those nasty goats are purged away… PICTURED BEAUTIFULLY in the PARABLE of the JUDGMENT SEAT! – But now see this parable TAKING PLACE WITHIN, and ask yourself if you YOURSELF, don’t also constantly feel JUDGMENT at work within. “Did I do the right thing? Was I in the wrong? I shouldn’t have said that? Help me stop doing this? etc” — All of our prayers are in fact EVIDENCE of what is being JUDGED (WORKED OUT/SORTED OUT) within us. So I say rejoice, and start seeing parables like the one below in a NEW LIGHT, with NEW EYES! Matthew 25:31-33 31When the Son of man (TRUTH OF WHO YOU ARE) shall come (IS REVEALED) in his glory, and all the holy angels (PURE THOUGHTS OF TRUTH) with him, then shall he sit (RULE) upon the throne (YOUR MIND) of his glory: 32And before him shall be gathered all nations (YOUR BELIEFS): and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep (TRUTH) from the goats (LIES): Jacob http://www.JacobIsrael.org
DEAL WITH IT! GOD’S IN CONTROL
DEAL WITH IT! GOD’S IN CONTROL
Many people believe God doesn’t want us to have trials and testing. Many state God doesn’t want suffering, or hardship, yet to be free from these hard times one must first understand why they are going through what they are going through and find all the good in it! Regardless of your circumstances, regardless of what you are suffering, GOOD WILL COME OF IT! You are where you are for a reason, but that doesn’t mean that is where you will always be. God is in control, and when you know you are God’s son, then you submit everything to the LIFE within you, and the two become one, and NOTHING CAN EVER AGAIN KEEP YOU FROM PEACE OR OVERCOMING! BELIEVE!
MAKE ME A LIVING EPISTLE
MAKE ME A LIVING EPISTLE PART 1
I’m on a mission you see, to see God at work in my life, by seeing those he places in my path. My desire is to reach as many people as possible without mentioning any religion, or putting out any religious mumbo jumbo, no I simply want to show love to others.
The day has come when you don’t need to go door to door, saying “KNOW GOD”, all will KNOW GOD from the least to the greatest. So my next couple of posts here will be different. There will be days, where I have stuggled and God has allowed me to overcome, days when I have been blessed and God has allowed me to stop everything I am doing to help another, days when I don’t want to mention God at all, but I promise these days will mean something to us all. Because I am writing them, to learn from them myself.
This new series of essays, is my way of simply sharing how I desire to see the world, and others. And my desire is to change this world, to have peace where there is pain, hope where there has never been. I want everyone to know, that no matter what is happening, IT IS ALL FOR THEIR GOOD AND THE GOOD OF THE WORLD!
I believe people are hungry to know the real God, the real Christ, or whatever SPIRIT you want to call the ONE SPIRIT IN US ALL CALLED “LIMITLESS LOVE AND LIFE.” I believe it is the day, where GOD is meant to be seen, heard, felt, and rejoiced over THE WORLD. The day when the weak will become strong in their compassion, and the strong will become weak in their greed and pride, and together they will help each other to come to the knowledge of the Truth and the stature or the perfect creation, which is our destiny, who we are and have forgot. GOD’S CHILD!
I will not force my beliefs on anyone, and I will do my best to only answer emails I get saying I am wrong, will a solid answer that will show love. Because we are all brother and sisters, we are all one, we are not separate and my goal is show everyone that. I believe that by doing this, more will know this and do this in return, and like a wild-fire it will spread, and then the world will finally know what REVIVAL IS! Not some carny show, where false healers shout about false healing, but people in their suffering can find the purpose and joy and peace of it all!
By showing them this love it won’t matter what faith they are, they will know God, regardless of what the name, they will know that what I am, they are too, and I, by looking for these moments, without great money, without greed deeds, will make a difference. Whether it be a simple talk at a counter, or what you are about to read below, the difference is going to be made. And people will understand how powerful, unique, and special they are, regardless of what they have been through, or currently are. They will learn that what they believe, they can become and what they believed they are. They will know their circumstances are there to help them understand they can rise above them, and finally let them go. Most importantly, they will understand they are not better than anyone, and this is when the last war will be won in their lives. Because they will have learned to give up the fight, and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
Just yesterday I wrote about rejoicing in my trials. About how as I sat in my house, watching the flat roof be repaired, our finances get a bit worse… well let’s just say a lot of debt. What I didn’t expect however, was after writing an article about praising God in the midst of the storm, and trusting there was a way out, that the VERY NEXT DAY, I would be getting such incredible stomach pain, that I thought I would die. I went to sleep, knowing it was my Crohn’s disease. Something I have had for years, since I was a teen. A serious case of Crohns, many blood transfusions, hospitalizations, accidents, surgeries, bowl resection, and too many horrible tests to recall. I suffered until I met my wife, then more trials would surface, this time in regards to my childhood, which I will get into at a later time.
But that is a piece of why I believe I got Crohns disease at 15, and suffered for so long. A disease where your immune system attacks your digestive system, the allegory of course, MY SELF DEFENSE mechanism attacking My DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, I hated myself, thought I was no good, so how could I possibly EAT OF THAT BREAD OF LIFE… But I also would go on to try to be the best at everything to gain approval, and this is why I accomplished so much. Because I believed my accomplishing something great would finally pave the way for people to love me, and I would finally feel worthy to be loved! Because I had been conditioned and programmed to believe I had to please everyone else, to which I found I was only rewarded with rejection, abuse, abandonment, betrayal, mocking hate, accusations, gossip, and other yucky stuff.
But isn’t it the saddest thing, to hear someone say, “the only way for me to feel worthy of love is to do something great.” The truth being, we are all great, we don’t need to work to be anything, we need to accept and love.
ADAM AND EVE, were already the image of God, they didn’t need to eat of that tree or do anything to become like God, they were BORN THAT WAY! And so are we, but we too, ate of this tree called, the cares of this world, the laws of religion, and man, and we too feel ashamed of who we are and hide behind out many works and accomplishments, or titles, or street rep, etc, as Adam and Eve hid behind their fig leaves, lost in the trees of their own imagination. Which is the world! So my CALLING, to quote a great book, called THE CALLING (HINT HINT HINT) is to “WAKE THEM UP FROM THIS SLUMBER!” Because TOO MANY PEOPLE, including those who have tried, and try to hurt me, even some reading this now, feel that they are no good, will amount to nothing, and need to prove to the world how great they are, because they feel so shallow. But like ADAM and EVE they simply forgot they already are perfect. I’m here to remind them. Because if no one in their life told them how good they are, someone needs to. If they are suffering and struggling, they need to know it is for a great purpose and that God has not abandoned them, but given them a oppurtunity to be a light in this world…
WELL THAT’S ABOUT TO CHANGE! Make me a Living Epistle to be read of all men, let ME, be an image of God in this world, and never let me say you must do this or that, let me simply tell other who they are at heart, and help them to remember, they aren’t their past, they aren’t their mistakes or what people have called them. They are GOD’S CHILD AND ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS IF IT IS DONE FOR ALL THINGS! So please enjoy a day on this adventure I began.
DAY 2: 1/20/2009
My pain got so bad, every other minutes it felt like knives were turning inside me. My beautiful wife all night, worried, in the morning she would call in sick and take me to the hospital. Boy was I in pain. The other day, I rejoiced at how hard things were, I didn’t factor this into the equation.
However sick I was, I KNEW many good things would come out of it.
EMERGENCY ROOM!
ut I Praise God they are admitting me:) just what I needed, a time to heal up, no responsibility, people surrounding me who ONLY want me to get better. My wife rubbing my head and telling me how much she loves me, my kids so compassionate and not running around like 10,9, and 7 years olds do. No dogs to take care of, or workers to deal with and yes the drugs are nice tooooooo.
–
In any event just got even better news while here, about our dream house. Now the Entire upper roof, not just the small addition roof needs to be replaced…. Wow, God is definitely moving in our life this year. Now some of you may find this hard to believe but this excites me. Because soon I will be writing a note about how good life is because of all I went through. You see, this is exactly what I want and wouldn’t change it at all, because i know not only will goodness and mercy follow me, BUT great things will come out of this and already have.
–
I have met one person after another who i just happened to say exactly what they needed to hear. One young man, got into a fight, he had been arrested times before, he’d sold drugs, did drugs, “did bad things” he said. I simply told him about his value and worth. I told him guilt will only create more things to feel guilty for later. I told him everything that he did, or happened in his life would make him the amazing man he was about to become. He had never been told such a thing, and he was so grateful, he went from being a young thug who thought himself to be good for nothing, to seeing that he was Gods child and could do all things, I showed him a small part of how unbelievable he is, and he wanted more. I thank God for this 25-year-old, whose rap name is Bighead… Or, the older nurse I spoke too, who overheard me talking to my wife, about how all things will, and already have worked out. The nurse was so taken by what I said, she told me how hard things were for her. And she left a different person knowing that it is only after the storm that our old nasty homes are rebuilt into the mansion we always wanted them to be. But if the storms would never come, we would have no reason to change or strive for more, and we certainly would never know how truly strong we all are.
–
When we trust in a God that is in control of all things and we look for the good that can come out of all we experience, when we look for the very good reason we are where we are, then we will find stories like these on a daily basis. When we rejoice in our sufferings, it doesn’t mean we don’t wish things could be different at times, it simply means we understand Gods wisdom and will is manifold greater than our own. In addition when we trust in that, we truly are being in everything and every circumstance a light in a very dark world.
–
I know there are so many that have a hard time seeing that there is so much good in what we call bad, but please tell me if the alternative is good news?
–
Would thinking that God doesn’t want you sick when you are sick give you hope? Does God not wanting hard times to fall on you but allowing it anyway, show you that God loves you?
–
OR
–
Or can you for a moment say, “Okay, you know what God this sucks, but I’m here for a reason. I have purpose and good, will come out of all I endured.” By understanding this you won’t sit around saying woe weighs me.
–
It’s easy to say, oh you can’t choose your circumstances, but you can change how you see them. But I tell you there is more . And you cannot simply change your view of things until you understand there is a point to all you endure. If you can’t see that perhaps you drug addiction is to help others never need drugs, your paralysis is to teach other how to walk upright, your poverty is to teach others how truly rich they are, if you can’t see that your hardship could literally change lives wouldn’t you see the good in what you had to endure. Who is to say that, that young man who many might consider a thug on the outside was tired of feeling like a failure and had plans to end it all, then God afflicted me a man he knew wouldn’t curse him or leave him to speak to that lost boy. Who is to say that that conversation made a difference and that not only will he not kill himself, he will go on to find a cure for Crohns disease, which will save countless lives… All because God afflicted me for but a moment. Would one or two days pain be worth that? Would anyone who could see the end from the beginning ever complain again, when they see all the good that comes out of it? No way!
I don’t want my suffering and hardship to ever be in vain. And I refuse to believe a God of love would allow hardship and pain unless there is something good that can come out of it. So, armed with this faith, I will use my experiences to help others who are going through the same. I will tell them look for the opportunities God planted to water so they could grow into who they are truly and what they must remember they are, Gods beloved child!
–
Dont look for JUST the silver lining, but the mountain of gold hiding in your trial, with the right eyes it won’t matter what you come up against You will learn to be free. Everyone wins when you Rest in God.
–
To enter in Gods rest we must cease from our work. We have to take ourselves out of the equation. It is no longer I that live but christ. We learn so much through what we suffer. And that is always how it has been to those that have tasted of that heavenly fruit called tree of life/wisdom and faith.
–
In prison they sang praises to God and because of it, every cage was opened and every shackle came off. This world needs more heralds of the New Day! It needs more that say Thank you My Father for all you have given, thank you for the life you have given me to me and out of all you have give me I have lost nothing, beside my ignorant unbelievingly selfish greedy untrusting heart.
–
Now even though many heard the praises and songs, and even though the shackles fell, many stayed in their cell. And I am saying GET OUT! LIVE FREE as this is my hope and dream.
–
Now to do this, to trust in God, to keep above the ways of the world as Jesus walked on water, it means you must have the desire to get rid of everything you think you know and simply trust God, as when every storm came they threw out everything weighing them down. The only thing Paul told them to keep was the faith that they would LIVE, but only if they did this. So do this, will ya?
–
Trust God who makes everything beautiful in its time. And it is high time we stop with the fear, shame, guilt, and hate. We simply need to discern properly…. Choose which God you will serve, one that doesn’t want unfortunate events to happen and allows them. Or choose the God that has a point and purpose and show you the great FORTUNE in it all.
–
RING, RING, just now I had a call from my amazing wife, she is worried because we don’t seemingly have the money for all of these repairs and reconstruction on the house that we have. But I told not only will we have what we need, we already do… “And how do I know this?” she asked. “Because it’s happening for a reason and whatever the result is it will bring us to a powerfully rewarding finish, that right now, even though it seems like another shoe couldn’t possibly fall, I say those shoes are falling for a reason, because blessed are the feet of those that bring the gospel (good news) …
–
We are all going to get through what we are going through, we all have to go through what we go through, but I promise you the instant you trust God and look for the treasures and lives you can touch all around, it is the your salvation from your troubles will be found.
Love God, Love Others, by Loving God you Love others, by Loving Others You Love God!
Much more to come – tomorrow – the responses I got. Some people, actually believe i could bring this, or keep this on myself. My answer, tomorrow!

There is a lot to this video. I hope you don’t mind the video affect. When I first did this video I really wanted people to focus on what was being said as opposed to being able to see who was saying it. Also the video affect helped with adding graphics. I hope the affect isn’t too distracting. In any event, there is much to take from this. So sit back, relax, turn up the volume, make the screen as big as you can and enjoy. 🙂
THIS THING CALLED LIFE – Part One
THIS THING CALLED LIFE
THURSDAY 1/13/2011
It’s sad how poorly people treat their fellowman. It doesn’t matter if it’s in church, at work, a cemetary, or a newspaper stand. At the gym, the store line your standing in, the red light that just turns green but you paused long enough for the person behind you to scream, to beep their horn with hands raised, as if you’ve killed their best friend and ruined their whole day.
Yes, I paid attention today, so many sad and hurtful things I saw people do, and say. From the teens I encountered, to those much older and even those my age. Some were just disgusted by the things that I said or wrote. Seeing my writings as heretical and never once considering they are simple, analytical, philosophical, theoretical, love notes.
I am nothing more than a man who tries, who cries, and mourns the selfish in the land whose behavior has gotten out of hand, and prays to help in a small simple way.
But this is not my story alone. You all have these feelings, as you sit there reading this at your home. This one thing you know, there are more callous people around you, you may say…but we must always ask ourselves, “Is it them, or is it us behaving this way?”. We need to be self aware, we need to judge our own actions and not those that mock us, point, or stare.
These are some questions to ask, I’m sorry if you feel I’m putting you to task. But I promise it is worth your time. Because we all grow and change when the truth of who we are, we find. So, are you looking to build, or to tear down? To share and listen or do you claim that yours is the only higher and truer ground? Do you think you’re always right, and excuse your many fights, because you believe everyone else is the problem never you? Well my friend, this may not necessarily be true.
We all need to go within and see our sin, which is nothing more than foolish, ignorant thinking. We need to change from this and all will be well. Then we will love God will are our heart and love others as ourselves. We will escape this troubling mindset where we weep, gossip, and gnash our teeth, and we will finally begin to see the plan and purpose of living a life of liberty.
Persecution can come from anywhere. But trust me when I say, your enemies are there to make you better not worse. It may come from people at work. There are those I know, and suppose you do as well, that feel self entitled, like they are better than others, and so feel obligated and empowered to treat you and others like hell.
This hasn’t always been easy for me to say. But let me tell you that their actions and thinking is rooted in insecurity. It’s seed is greed and the need to feed their own ego and sense of self entitlement. Which is why they feel they can blow up, complain, mock, tear down, or throw up all their fear and hate on those that don’t make them feel secure. So their insecurity drives them to drive others to the floor.
Even here, where I simply share my beliefs, in the hopes of helping another find peace. There are those that come to simply tell me, “Desist and Cease!”
Many have said, I’m lost, don’t know what I’m doing or saying. They warned me of eternal damnation for writing about a God of purpose, forgiveness and love. They have told me my heart is with the devil and not with the one above. They say, “Tear down your writings you Satan you, but don’t worry I’m praying for you!”
But all they really want is for me to see God they way they do. Yet a tree is known by its fruit. So if condemnation, pride, hate and debate, is what grows on their branches why should I ever think as they think, or do as they do?
It’s a trap to live a life of pride, it’s actually insane. Chasing titles, or a name, demanding respect and honor, is a losing game. Jesus was one of many messengers that made this plain. When he took the dirty feet of those following him and cleaned each of them the same.
There are far too many NOT acting this way. Which is why I pray they will learn to put others first. It’s so sad to see people literally hating everything they don’t understand. Forget believing in a God of love, they are too busy trying to prove they are above everyone that threatens their beliefs and stance.
So they will attack you if you don’t line up with what they believe to be right.
Just remember it’s only so they can feel better about themselves at night.
Even though this treatment is never right, never try to fight it, because they do this for you, not to you, the sooner you see this, this burden will become very light.
Today is a day where I saw, read and heard many people say things that were not only rude, repulsive, demeaning and cruel, but I saw people trying to rule by putting others under their thumb. Whether it was the young guy filling his work out bottle at the waterfountain not caring about the old man panting away, or the grumpy driver who cut me off when I had the right of way. Or the receptionist that could’t give me the literal time of day, but pointed to the clock behind me, rolled her eyes, as if I was the biggest idiot in the store at the time.
At stores, restaurants and more, today you’re floored by the way your treated when your paying for a service that has truly forgotten the customer is always right. Yes, I know some buyers are wrong, down right mean, and start the fight, but why is it this treatment goes on and on?
If you are to ask, why people continue to act, like they are center of the world and no one else will ever matter. You will find an explanation that will make you sad not madder.
People have been tricked. They believe they are not important, someone lacking and less than they truly are. So, regardless of if they have money driving a fancy car, or are broke collecting foodstamps to trade at the bar, many, oh so many, don’t care about anything but their own misery that they in turn spread like a flu at the mall.
Now the reason this is hard for many is, let’s face it, we’ve have years of others treating us that way as well. But I know we can do better, I know we can forgive, love, encourage and move on. Although it hurts me to see how selfish so many have become, especially those that say, they have come in the Name of God’s Son.
But neither you or I can change these people with our disdain, pain or anger. We can only change re-arrange our own feelings toward them and not care if we no longer belong. To love them and expect nothing more from them is the only way. Perhaps if more do this, we won’t see people starving or war mongering but we will be able to say, “Our brothers and sisters are important, regardless of color or creed, gone are the days of hate and great need.”
Concerning your faith. If you believe a certain way and are passionate about sharing it without shoving it down anyone’s throat or forcing your beliefs in another’s face. Remember you will have critics that will say invariably that you’re an idiot and dead wrong. They will go to great lengths to prove it, even if they have to twist the facts, tear you down, gather an army of yes maen around them to feel better about themselves. But don’t be angry for these poor, sad, insecure brothers and sisters of yours.
They may mock you, and tear you down. But this is because you have done good not bad. This is because you have helped others where they only say they have. It is because you have done what they don’t care to do and so long as you want to make a positive difference, you are the reminder that their hateful, insecure nature doesn’t belong. And so they will come out of the woodwork to shut you up, because your very existence will make their stomach churn. But you will turn and like a parent who knows better than to spurn a child’s acting out, you will say with a whisper not a shout. “I know you’re hurting and are scared, but I hope you’re prepared because whatever you have done and do to me, you’ll soon find in return. Wouldn’t it be better, to stop attacking those you simply believe and say are wrong.
It’s rare to find, someone who cares enough to make the time to return a favor, an email, or a call. Much less someone who is grateful for all you have done for them and for everytime for them you have gone to bat. They may even be the ones that betray you with that kiss and hold up the very rope designed to make you fall.
I saw people lying today, knew of people crying for the way some have treated them or what they heard others say to their face of behind their back. I answered emails, which I really should call attacks, and tried to reach those that only wanted to do me wrong. You see, we must love them where they are, but we also don’t have to be the doormat on which we allow them to stand on for long.
There is now a time, for a people to rise, without name, stature, or the need for others to make them feel better about themselves. That kind of behavior is reserved for those dwellers of hell.
Before these people is as the garden of Eden, they see peace at the finish line and a desert wasteland behind. And those that come against them, with be forced to changed or step aside.
The Truth only hurts, until insecurity, fear, hate, greed, and bias disperse, leaving only the humble and encouraging parts of that person to help others stand tall.
So starting today, I am going to believe and pray that the life we are all living will change.
So come against me, one and all. Say your piece and I will release you from all your wrong doing, but it will be you that realises who is rising and who is not hearing the call. I will see a world of peace, a community of believers, regardless of belief, that link arms and sing songs, about how wrong they and others have been, in the days of Adam’s fall!

BREAKFAST WITH DEAN – Reincarnation?
BREAKFAST WITH DEAN
Early one morning, I and my friend Dean Dosher spoke about the possibility of re-incarnation, universalism, who all of humanity is, and how we are finished in perfection. I decided to record the conversation, which usually lasts about 30 minutes or so, every day or so, last night I edited the conversation down. So much ground in covered in these eleven minutes, that you may have to watch this many times, to grab hold of what is said. Philosophy which literally means the LOVE OF WISDOM is something, so many people are hungry for. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? WHAT IS THE POINT? WHO ARE WE? You’ll have to watch and find out, and you may be surprised in the end, to find out, if we know or not. 🙂 Enjoy
My Reply to why ALL MANKIND is SAVED!
WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE?
This below comment, I posted on a friends facebook page and then my own. I didn’t think there was anything so terribly out of the ordinary or special about the comment, but it has really sparked a great conversation, and I was so surprised to see how many people were interested in hearing more, after reading this simple commentary on Facebook… I hope you enjoy it! Peace Jacob
My Reply as to what I believe! All mankind Saved.
A wonderful lady on here that I am friends with, always has something wonderful to say… Now we do believe differently, but unlike many others, she has recieved me for who I am and what I believe (I think she has at least, I know she would if she didn’t know) In any event… she posted something wonderful… I am going to share that. And then repost my comment, without mentioning her name out of my great respect for her, and because she has the best smile I have ever seen 🙂
Here is her post:
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. You need to believe it to receive it. What do the universalists do with that?
HERE IS MY REPLY
Hey (You) first I want to say I am NOT A UNIVERSALIST… A universalist believes all roads lead to God… I believe ALL ROADS LEAD TO CHRIST, WHO leads us to the father. Because there is only ONE WAY TO KNOW THE FATHER, AND THAT IS BY HIS CHILD…
So, not a Universalist here, but I do believe God finishes his creation in victory “he saw all that he made and said it was good” –
I personally believe God is not a failure, and that his arm is not slack that it cannot save, and for those who understand that Nothing can thwart God’s will, “neither him that runneth or willeth but God”, and for those that understand that it is GOD’S WILL that ALL BE SAVED and come to the KNOWLEDGE of the truth and the stature of the perfect man…
1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth…
I don’t believe you can know the father without knowing who YOU ARE in the SON. But I do believe that ALL will CONFESS CHRIST and SUBMIT to Christ In Them, as it is written…
Phil 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
— Now look at that next line, TO THE GLORY OF GOD – Lots will say, then it is too late. But no man knows the hour or time, or God’s ways for they are above ours.
11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father
Every – means Every… I believe that out of ALL the father gave the son to save, as Jesus put it, “I lost not one save the SON OF PERDITION” – remember who the Son of Hell is (The antichrist spirit/betrayer with in the heart of the religious, who would rather betray the love of God for money, than think better of God and others)
I believe that ALL of creation will sing praises to God, That GOD BRINGS in ALL — If the firstfruits (christ) be holy than the whole harvest is holy)
Also Romans states ALL THE GENTILES will be grafted in, and than ALL ISRAEL shall be saved. (that’s also pretty much everyone)
To believe that God is inept and cannot accomplish his goal, to make man in his IMAGE (CHRIST) – In CHRIST we ALL (EVERYONE) live breathe and have our existence, is to state God is not God.
To say God gave man free will, which I challenge anyone to show me what choice Moses, Joseph, Pharoah, Jonah, Jesus etc had… but let’s say Man has free will, meaning a WILL OUTSIDE OF GODS…
Even though Jesus said, “I can do NOTHING OF MYSELF”
But even if God leaves it up to mankind. What does a Good parent do for their children, correct them, teach them, or give up on them?
We don’t know how long life is, what happens after we die, we only have speculation, God is not mocked whatever a man sows he shall reap… Who is to say that God doesn’t have this very principle in place (If he wants us to “choose” him) – Even though Jesus said “You didn’t choose me, I chose you” and also IT IS WRITTEN “No ONE can come to the SON unless the FATHER DRAWS HIM“… But lets say God is not Soveriegn, that it is NOT ABOUT FAITH but about our WORKS (WHAT WE SAY AND DO) — Don’t you think OUR GOD is big enough to correct us justly, teach us correctly, and not be a HYPOCRITE.
If God says there should NEVER be an end to OUR FORGIVENESS, and that we SHOULD LOVE OUR ENEMIES… Why wouldn’t GOD who is perfect (who knows how to treat his children better than us) LOVE HIS?
Love the world SO MUCH he gave his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON that whoever BELIEVES and scripture says ALL WILL, and not only that, but submit to Christ to the GLORY OF GOD… Don’t you think it is possible, that a God of Love, could change a persons heart as easily as he Hardens it (Pharoah)
There is so much false teaching, there are so many lies we have been sold over the years, I trust a God of Love, one that has a plan, one whose mercy endures forever, who’s plans and will MANKING cannot thwart God’s will…
1 Timothy 2:3-4 …God our Savior; Who will have ALL mankind to be saved…
John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world
Christ didn’t come to CODEMN but to save… because it is GOD’S will that ALL WILL BE SAVED! Everyone, it is written, will come to the KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH and the STATURE OF CHRIST. Everyone!
But I will leave you with this last scripture…
Ephesians
1:9 when He made known to us the secret of His will. And this is in harmony with God’s merciful purpose 10 for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it–the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the WHOLE CREATION to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him
So I agree, that anyone who thinks YOU DON’T HAVE TO BELIEVE won’t recieve, I will HOLD OUT HOPE, that scripture is true and that ALL WILL BELIEVE AND RECIEVE and GOD’S CREATION is finished in victory, and EVERYTHING HE MADE GOOD AND WORTHY OF PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING.
But I am NO UNIVERSALIST…But I do question, why I think HIGHER OF GOD’S PROMISE AND SOVEREIGNTY and LOVE and COMPASSION than a majority of Christians who believe a majoriy of those God created will be LOST, or worse still cast into some place of infinite torture… (Which by the way does not exist) – But why? I question do most people believe our Perfect and Wonderful and Almighty God is a Callous Hateful Vindictive God?
If we would never do this to our children, if we would always love and NEVER give up on our children, Is God more Righteous than us by giving up on his own, who he created, placed in the Garden, created the enemy, made us subject to vanity (romans 8:20), and proclaims YOU CANNOT COME TO THE SON UNLESS you are drawn… I mean why? Why would anyone think God is going to fall short? That everything he made is some cosmic mistake… No, Our God is in control. And that is why I do not think less of anyone who believes differently, who does horribly, or who condemns because they worship a god who condemns…. The truth is, ALL WILL COME TO THE TRUTH this GOD PURPOSED and will bring to pass, and NO ONE CAN LOSE!
But we all will reap what we sow, and this is how God teaches his children to stop touching the hot stove.
You know I love you(awesome persomn whose name I will not name :)), I really wanted to give you a heartfelt response and say I AGREE YOU CANNOT RECIEVE without BELIEVING, but I have faith that ALL WILL BELIEVE, not just because it is clearly written… The only thing destroyed is “hell, devil, anti-christ, false prophet, and every name (which translates directly into NATURE – NOT A LITERAL NAME) but every NATURE that is NOT written in the BOOK OF LIFE (Life has many natures, love, forgiveness, patience, charity, peace, joy, etc. ect) but the NATURES IN MAN that are NOT WRITTEN IN LIFE (CHRIST) will be destroyed… The natures of GREED, HATE, BIAS, CONDEMNATION, etc etc…
And remember GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE (LAKE OF FIRE) – Christ baptises with FIRE…. FIRE is good, we ALL have out part in THIS LAKE OF FIRE, it just doesn’t hurt those that ARE RISEN TO KNOW, GOD IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL!
GREAT TOPIC!!!! I sure hope my answer will not be seen as something negative, but an honest heartfelt answer as to why I believe, GOD WILL HAVE ALL MEN TO BE SAVED, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT KNOW IT (1st Tim 4:10) Jacob 🙂
— AN ADDITION
There has been a great discussion on my friend’s page. A couple of points were made, and I was asked by my friend to respond. Without posting there comments (as my answers pretty much sum up what they wrote) I wanted to add it here for those interested. Enjoy.
HERE IS MY REPLY:
Wow, what an outpouring, and in such a loving way! It’s rare to see such a thing, that says a lot about you Gaye and the company that is drawn to you… It would be very hard for me to answer everyone, I will say, without posting the address, I do have a blog with over 90 essays, videos extra, that I have (if you friend me, or simply google my name and blog) you’ll find it… I think every single concern is answered in many of those essays… But I will answer a few people briefly…
@(PERSON 1) I in no way minimize God’s judgment, quite the opposite, I made it very clear, we all reap what we sow… I simply say, we don’t reap MORE than we sow, and that in God’s CORRECTION (which hurts indeed) we are brought to the knowledge of Christ. Many Christians preach that life is supposed to be filled with candy, that God doesn’t want anyone sick, doesn’t want bad things to happen… Yet, that undermines the very judgment you speak of. God is in control of all things, and it is through MUCH TRIBULATION we enter the Kingdom. believe me when i say, YOU HAVE TO PICK UP YOUR CROSS it is the only way, many “christians” don’t even understand what this means, and preach against it, tickling people’s ears, filling people with religious pride that They did something good so they are saved, and others are beneath them because they did not… But when you understand that God is in control of everything, and it rains on the just and unjust, and that even as the scripture’s state, “the wicked are God’s sword” – that even bad people in our lives, like Pharoah, or Joseph’s brothers, are there to further us into the Kingdom, then you REST in God. You understand what is happening to you IS HAPPENING FOR YOU, and that is judgment. Judgment means to SEPERATE God from the World, this is the allegory of the sheep and goats, wheat and tares, the TRUTH in us and the LIES in us, the NATURES IN US, is what is being Judged… and JUDGEMENT BEGINS IN US, “the house of the lord” – we are all being judged, and we all, I believe and hope and pray, (because like I said, I am NOT the authority and always leave the possibilty that I could be wrong) but I believe with all my heart, God is capable of doing what he says he wants, and that through ONE MAN’S DEATH (ADAM) – all Mankind died (became ignorant) and HOW MUCH MORE, buy ONE MAN’S SACRAFICE AND LIFE shall ALL BE MADE ALIVE… So I take pretty much everything literally and allegorically.
For this next person, I wanted to share their comment to me, and then my response:
PERSON 2:
I was reading a scripture the other day in Revelation about how God will send the angels to come and some will be thrown into the lake of fire and some not. So it is clear that there will be a separation. I’ll try to find and post it on here…. Matthew 13:47-50 (Amplified Bible) Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a [a]dragnet which was cast into the sea and gathered in fish of every sort. When it was full, men dragged it up on the beach, and sat down and sorted out the good fish… into baskets, but the worthless ones they threw away.So it will be at the close and consummation of the age. The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God) And cast them [the wicked] into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and wailing and grinding of teeth
HERE IS MY RESPONSE:
@ (PERSON 2) it’s interesting you use a literal parable to describe something as literal, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to not answer you, I just saw your comment now. – First off, THE SEA is a symbol of THE WAYS OF THE WORLD (Cares of the world) Which… is death. This is why JESUS walked above the sea, and could calm the storm… He said I will make you fishers of men, meaning we will literally fish people out of the death and depths of their ignorance… now the Kingdom of God is WITHIN us, in this parable it is described as a net… and the Kingdom of God is RIGHTEOUS, PEACE AND TRUTH, AND POWER in the Holy Ghost… And this seperate the GOOD (Truth) in US with the Bad (Lies) in US.
Now before the scripture you mentioned, remember Jesus compares the Kingdom to many other things. THE MOST IMPORTANT of which I believe is to a PEARL OF GREAT PRICE (pearl comes out of long suffering) – which — Pay attention to this next line, “when one finds THEY SELL ALL THEY POSSESS to have it” – In other words, when you understand the TRUTH OF GOD (Kingdom of God) you get rid of every false belief you once held… We cannot serve two masters. But let’s look at the scripture you posted.
47Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
First of all, GOD TRIES US ALL in the FURNACE OF FIRE… this is how we are set free of our idolatry.
Isaiah 48:10
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the FURNACE OF AFFLICTION.
(Through this tribulation we LONG SUFFER to find that PEARL (KINGDOM OF GOD which is WITHIN US, not coming with observation)
This is the way GOD CHOSE to seperate us from the lies of the world, and YES when we are afflicted we weep and complain (gnash teeth)
James 4:9
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
Now the END OF THE WORLD, doesn’t mean the LITERAL WORLD… But the world is THE LUSTS IN MAN…
1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
So at the END OF OUR LUSTS, the TRUE MESSAGE (angel=message/messengers (literal translation) – At the END OF OUR LUSTS the TRUE MESSAGE OF GOD will come forth (be revealed) — and guess what, the DAY OF THE LORD is scary… It is a day of darkness, where you understand you don’t know a thing, and every foundational belief you once held is shaken… SO YES, when the TRUTH OF GOD is revealed to you, you will SUFFER until you GET RID OF EVERY FALSE BELIEF you once held.
Remember, we are held over the hottest part of the flame, as silver is, and we are only released for it, when the SMITH sees HIS IMAGE clearly in it.
So in any event, when you really take the scriptures and search the other scriptures for witness of the words, like Furnace, Fire, etc… it becomes a lot easier to see the Truth of God, which is Salvation of all, through so great a plan, that the ONLY ONE LOST is the SON OF PERDITION (the adamic ignorant carnal antichrist nature in man)…
In any event, I hope this adequeatley explained that scripture for you. Peace. Jacob
Thank you all so much for being so supportive and loving and understanding we are all where we are, and if we be teachers we MUST BE long suffering, meak, gentle, loving, not seeking to strive, etc… And so far so good. Much love to you all, peace Jacob
AND SOME MORE
—- Here is some more response from comments made: This one focuses on Rev 20:15, where it says, depending on the translation that Every name not written in the book of life is cast into the Lake of Fire… First my response to what the word Name – really means.
“ONOMA” is indeed the correct greek word for Name which means “the name is used for everything which the name covers, everything the thought or feeling of which is aroused in the mind by mentioning, hearing, remembering, the name, ex. for one’s rank, authority, interests, pleasure, command, excellences, deeds etc. ” — It is the total NATURE of that PERSON … of course we say, Jesus and if we look at it literally, there are a lot of Jesus’s out there, but they all have different characteristics… So instead of believing in the name, we believe in the nature of that name… EVERYTHING the name covers…
Look at how dictionary.com translates NATURE when it applies to PEOPLE… reality, as distinguished from any effect of art: a portrait true to nature. 8. the particular combination of qualities belonging to a person, animal, thing, or class by birth, origin, or constitution; native or inherent character: human nature. 9. the instincts or inherent tendencies directing conduct: a man of good nature. 10. character, kind, or sort: two books of the same nature. 11. characteristic disposition; temperament: a self-willed nature; an evil nature.
So even with Onoma we are talking about the NATURE of the PERFECT MAN CHRIST. Or the NATURE of the ADAMIC man.
Like you said, we’re on the same page. And I don’t get to caught up which bible is perfect or not, they all have mistranslations, additions, deletions… which is why the spirit of revelation comes in handy. 🙂
— Now here is a complete breakdown of Rev 20:15
Revelation 20:15 Anyone whose NAME was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. (Some translations leave the “Name” part out) This I grabbed from the NIV…
But a GREATER MYSTERY is revealed when… you translate each of those words from the Greek.
15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
WHOSOEVER translates from the Greek into (whatever/whoever)
NOT means Pretty much NOT
BUT FOUND: wow, when you translate FOUND… it opens your eyes. It doesn’t mean, found, like you find a chapter and verse in a book… It means:
FOUND= to come upon, hit upon, to meet with
after searching, to find a thing sought without previous search, to find (by chance), to fall in with those who come or return to a place
to find by enquiry, thought, examination, scrutiny, observation, to find out by practice and experience to see, learn, discover, understand
FOUND, basically means, the person sought and found – It is the REVELATION of CHRIST.
WRITTEN: means TO DESCRIBE, or EXPRESS, OR WRITE
BOOK: Translates into SCROLL (which we are meant to eat, which many saw in visions)
LIFE (ZOE) one of my favorites, means TO BE ALIVE, to live, breathe, be among the living
CAST means: to throw or let go of a thing without caring where it falls
INTO means: INTO
LAKE means: a harbour, haven
FIRE means: FIRE (God is a consuming FIRE)
Now watch what happens when you put them all together.
“Whoever or whatever did not find after searching the expression of LIFE (christ) is let go without worrying where it falls into a haven of God’s consuming fire!”
And the very next verse, after this is Rev 21:
1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Like you said Christine, it is the FIRST NATURE OF MAN (adam) that is LET GO OFF, And burned (to keep with the allegorical theme) AWAY.
in adam all die (1st man is last) in christ (2nd man) all are made ALIVE (All find the expression of Christ)
GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL – A POEM
“GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL – A POEM”
Got a secret to share, a revelation that’s clear, a new way of looking at parable we’ve held dear.
Jesus turned to Peter, whose names means Stone. HE TURNED TO THE STONE and said UPON THIS ROCK will I build my church and throne.
The ROCK that everything is built upon, this Rock my friends is called the FOUNDATION.
Like every good house, that can withhold the storms, houses built upon STONES are quite strong.
This is why Jesus turned and said, Peter though you be dead, upon this Rock, which is the Word of God, which is TRUTH and Wisdom, though many have forgotten… Jesus said, upon this ROCK, which is the word, the spririt in us all, OUR LIFE… He said, upon this Rock, I’ll build my church, and so great is it’s worth, that the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
Now you’ve believed, and recieved that this meant, a simple man named Peter was where it all began. The reason, people ask you, which church do you go to or are you a “Christian?”
A whole religion in fact, remains in tact, upon the simple misunderstanding of this ancient transcription. To believe the Rock was Peter, sure if you want to worship Carnal Flesh Man whatever words are neater, but I assure you these many religions have gone wrong.
He said, upon this ROCK, this rock I will build my church upon. The Rock which is the WORD OF GOD, which is the FOUNDATION. We just forgot, the whole lot, when we began to listen to the chants of religious leaders saying, they are the foundation of this Kingdom, which is within us all.
Let me explain, in a very simple way. Forgive my ryhming it just makes sharing what I learn feel more like play than a labour of love. But after learning what has been churning in my heart since talking with a man named Peterson. I knew I would share it, and I’m ryhming because let’s face it, its fun.
It’s about us having great power, about how our weakness, in us, God has made us strong. You see everything was made by the son, for the son, through son, and the son, ain’t this fun, is you, and me, and everyone.
Wait! Don’t run! I haven’t even begun to help you shun the lies you’ve been sold, or told, that have you believing what Peter was recieving were words that proved if you were apart of a man made church the Gates of Hell you’d never call home.
And you understood this to mean, there was no in between. Become part of the religious church, or things will most surely get worse, look Hell’s gates await. Join the Church, they say, and escape such a fate.
But let me explain and re-arrange the thoughts in your mind. If you have time, don’t worry this will be one of my shorter rhymes.
The purpose of GATES is to KEEP PEOPLE OUT or KEEP THEM IN.
So the power of the Gates is NOT FOUND in their swinging.
But the POWER OF A GATE is found in being LOCKED IN PLACE.
Keeping in or out the entire human race.
You see, for the Gates to prevail they must stay strong.
But gates that can swing open for us, not only will they not prevail, that don’t even belong.
A gates purrpose is to seperate, to keep out, or keep in,
the only way a GATE can prevail is if there is NO OPENING!
But we were given keys, let me explain what they are please.
From science, to nature, to life, to love and strife, from scripture, to moby dick, to the matrix movie for some that’s how this all seems to fit.
It is through parable and allegory that our understanding is found.
We’ve been taught to only listen when punished, and we have believed we shouldn’t be praised for what we’re doing.
We’ve been tricked, and man made religion has kept us all under lock and key.
They have made us twice the son of hell, by saying our salvation isn’t here yet, and submitting to church authority is the only way for any of us to be free.
Such a sad and sorted story, but this story is not for me.
For we are the SON, Humanity, that’s right, everyone.
I could say, if you’ve seen me you’ve seen Christ, isn’t that nice? What would you do if I said I was given his name, I am his body, and now Christ’s mind is acting in my minds stead.
Ah, but that is too much, for such and such, but for those eager beavers, those article, esssay, and awesome book readers, stick around for what I have to say.
The KEYS are the revelation of many mysteries, like the one Jesus said to Peter.
Upon this Rock, I will build my church and the Gates of Hell shall not prevail.
And this revelation will not fail, SO pay close attention because I’m going to reveal,
that for the gates to NOT PREVAIL that would mean ONE CAN ENTER IN heaven or LEAVE this place called HELL.
THE TRUTH IS, we can go in and out, it’s up to us, it’s our choice which mindset we choose to dwell.
We would be hopelessly trapped and locked in if the gates DID PREVAIL, we’d be stuck and to no avail would we find a way out of our ignorance, which I like to call being kept out by the veil.
So you see now, how the revelation of who we are, takes away the bars, that we are limited and doomed to only pain and a tomb. But trust me when I say, even if at the INN there is no room, the Truth of who you are will bloom by first feeding the lowliest of us all.
But I digress, for us to rest, we must learn, that we will NEVER BURN and that we can LEAVE THE HELL of EMOTION we’re trapped in.
We can choosee to create panic, hate or passion.
We can stay locked away, or we can exit or even enter in.
It’s our choice how many times, we visit the place, whose gates, cannot keep us out or in.
Yes, it’s all up to you my friend.
God gave us this WISDOM…. so wait for it, wait for it… I’m almost done.
Believing the worst and getting more. Having no faith, no trust, no love, yet to church every Sunday, for more.
Especially when your Religious Leader, tells you what these keys are keeping you from.
They say there is an eternity of suffering to come for those that don’t believe the way they do,
as opposed to letting you know you have the power to enter ignorance or wisdom, its all up to you.
Upon the rock, which is the foundation, which is the word of God, which is the truth, which is the kingdom of god, which is your life, which is ONLY IN YOU, if for you, so you can stay or go as you please, create or destroy with ease.
Don’t believe me, take a moment and think with me, is your life exactly what you believe it to be?
Do you think that is happening coincidentally?
So today, take control of each of your thoughts. Tend to that garden and decide whether to hide in the trees of your imagination, or to the complete revelation of Jesus Christ to run.
Just remember, the Gates will never prevail. It is our decision, whether to create on earth heaven or to stay chained in the misery of your own personal hell!
Jacob
