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

Jacob Israel3 Comments


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!

BELIEVE, BE TRUE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

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

Jacob Israel7 Comments

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?

Jacob Israel11 Comments

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!

Jacob Israel20 Comments

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

Jacob Israel3 Comments

“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!

WILL THE REAL SAVIOR PLEASE STAND UP?

Jacob Israel43 Comments

WILL THE REAL SAVIOR PLEASE STAND UP?

Okay so this paper is going to open some eyes, get some people all hot under the collar, and have others say “HOW COOL IS THAT?” – You see what I am going to do, is share with all of you something I learned many, many years ago. “What is that?” the peanut gallery asks.

Well today, after many just finished celebrating what they considered to be, the birth of their Savior, Jesus Christ on DECEMBER 25, who was a Carpenter’s son, immaculately concieved, son of God, who took upon himself the sins of the world, performed great miracles, had disciples, suffered, was crusified and then rose again, through whom is the ONLY WAY TO GOD, well… TODAY, I am going to introduce you to multiple others “Saviors” who each have similar stories, lived, and was worshipped long as the Son of God, before Jesus, and who today we all believe to be myth.

Now, I want to point out right away, THIS PAPER IS NOT TO SHOW YOU THAT JESUS IS A MYTH, but to show you that EVERY SINGLE one of these SAVIORS of the world, were in fact ALLEGORIES TO LEAD US ALL to finding true SALVATION, (CHRIST IN YOU = HOPE OF GLORY).

This paper is simply to help everyone of us understand that (each of these allegorical Hero types) are in fact pictures of US ALL! (For there is only one way to God, and that is through the SON = the Only Way to God is to UNDERSTAND YOU ARE GOD’S CHILD!)

This is why Mankind gives birth to a savior, kills a savior, and resurrectes a savior, each and every year. This is mankind’s carnal attempt to be in control, to be god themselves. However, while so many are putting their focus on a man that is said to have died thousands of years ago, and refuse to look within, to find out who they truly are, they are missing the boat completely. And so, mankind in his ignorance, will vainly carry out these traditions, and I say thank God for it all. Because one day, their TRUE MEANING, which is the BIRTH, LIFE, DEATH, AND RESSURECTION of CHRIST as YOU, WILL BE REVEALED!

And I hope you are NOT SHOCKED, when you find out the J-Man, wasn’t the first, Son of God, king of Kings, Lord or Lords, Shepherd, Savior, born of a Virgin who took away the sins of the world, was killed and rose again, to take away the sins of the world. 🙂 No, there are many, many, others who pre-date Jesus, with almost identical stories.

“WHY?” You ask… Because, even though many consider these OTHER saviors mythology, their story is as true for us today as Jesus’s story. Because there is, and always has been ONE GOD and ONE SON (Humanity) — Each of these mytholigical or literal tellings, speaks of our Divine Nature, A fall, death (ignorance of our true nature), Suffering (because we don’t know God is in control, and who we truly are), Crusifiction (Laying down our carnal life), Ressurection (Being Born Again Spiritually) — THIS IS ALL OUR STORY, and since I know it to be true, the same story will easily be seen over thousands of years. The Saviors and God’s may have different names, but the TRUTH of the STORY remains to the same, and ITS PURPOSE IS TO WAKE US UP!

Now, I hope this paper encourages you, and increases your faith as opposed to stirring you up to want to defend your particular savior “Jesus” – When I say to you, “As he is so are we in this world” “He is the first born among many brethren” – We can’t make an idol out of a man, we not only haven’t met, don’t have the strongest imperical data about, but more importantly, we are COMMANDED NOT TO DO SO!

I believe in Jesus, I once knew him after the flesh (carnal understanding) but no longer. As scripture says, I have come to the place where I don’t go to Jesus anymore. I know the FATHER (One Spirit of Life in us all) GOD

John 16:22-24
22And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
23And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

So let’s take a short look at the many other SAVIORS, that sound a lot like Jesus, and then I will sum up, why this is, and why this is NOT some clever trick of the “so-called” devil to trick people, but it is actually, a GREAT WORK OF GOD, who only opens his mouth in PARABLE, DARK SAYINGS, AND ALLEGORY!

Psalm 78:2
I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

Let’s start with a SAVIOR, you may or may not have heard of… MITHRA!

Mithra is believed to be a Mediator between God and man, between Heaven and the Earth. Mithra was born in the Cave on December 25th, and was born of a VIRGIN. His festivals, which the Christians adopted were observed in the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox—Christmas and Easter. His symbol is the Lamb, he is called ‘the Way,’ ‘the Truth,’ ‘the Light,’ ‘the Life,’ ‘the Word,’ ‘the Son of God,’ ‘the Good Shepherd.’ Also, his “church” was built upon the sacred rock called “Petra” – “Upon this rock, peter, jesus built his church… hhhmnnn”

Of course Mithra worship started long, long before Jesus came on the scene. And there are many variations of Mithra that over the years took hold. In India Mithra became Mitra, or Itu, and In Babylon, Mithra was identified with Shamash, the sun god, and he is also Bel, the Mesopotamian and Canaanite/ Phoenician solar deity. In any event… Mithra, very clearly a type of Christ.

Here is a cool bullet point list I found on “truthbeknown.com” – when researching Mithra

1) Mithra was born on December 25th of the virgin Anahita.
2) The babe was wrapped in swaddling clothes, placed in a manger and attended by shepherds.
3) He was considered a great traveling teacher and master.
4) He had 12 companions or “disciples.”
5) He performed miracles.
6) As the “great bull of the Sun,” Mithra sacrificed himself for world peace.
7) He ascended to heaven.
8) Mithra was viewed as the Good Shepherd, the “Way, the Truth and the Light,” the Redeemer, the Savior, the Messiah.
9) Mithra is omniscient, as he “hears all, sees all, knows all: none can deceive him.”
10) He was identified with both the Lion and the Lamb.
11) His sacred day was Sunday, “the Lord’s Day,” hundreds of years before the appearance of Christ.
12) His religion had a eucharist or “Lord’s Supper.”
13) Mithra “sets his marks on the foreheads of his soldiers.”
14) Mithraism emphasized baptism.

DOES THAT SOUND LIKE ANY SAVIOR and RELIGION WE KNOW? — Moving on, because there are MANY OF THEM. Let’s move unto KRISHNA!

Let’s put aside the fact that Krishna sounds like Christ or “Krishnianity” 🙂 – The fact is, here is another SON OF GOD you can read about in one of my favorite books, the “Gita”… So let’s bullet point this “Savior” out for you.

1) Krishna is the second person of the Hindu Trinity. He is considered to be one of the incarnations of the God Vishnu.
2) Born of a Virgin named Devaki
3) The point of his birth was to bring victory of good over evil, by cleansing sins of human beings
4) Placed in Manger after Birth
5) Adopted Father was a Carpenter
6) Visited by wise men and shepherds guided by a star
7) Angels warned Krishna’s parents of the “slaughter of innocents” to come to find and kill Krishna
8) Went into wilderness to fast
9) Called “the lion of the tribe of Saki.”
10) Krishna identified as “the seed of the woman bruising the serpent’s head.”
11) Was said to be sinless
12) Performed miracles, cleansed lepers, raised people from the dead, casted out demons
13) Selected disciples, had a last supper, forgave enemies
14) Descended into hell and was ressurected, people witnessed his acension

There are many more, but you can google the K-man and find out more… MOVING ON, to our next SAVIOR…

OSIRIS

O thou son of Nut, the whole world is gratified when thou ascendest thy father’s throne like Ra. Thou shinest in the horizon, thou sendest forth thy light into the darkness, thou makest the darkness light with thy double plume, and thou floodest the world with light like the Disk at break of day.

For sake of time, I will bullet point Osiris as well. Now, remember, this paper is NOT to discount the importance of Christ, but to rather show that THIS ALLEGORY is THERE FOR US ALL TO LEARN FROM. As important as the story of Jesus is to us today, Osiris, Horace, and the Egyptian gods also gave great insight into the TRUTH OF WHO WE ALL ARE. (GOD’S CHILD)… Where some would argue that hearing about these mythical saviors could devastate another’s faith in Christ, I say, it is the very EVIDENCE that the STORY OF CHRIST IN YOU, is TRUTH! It is ALL TRULY OUR STORY, and has been told for thousands of years. These accounts, are not as some Christian scholars state, the crafting of the devil to mislead people into worshipping the wrong God. Remember God is IN control, there would be no point for the same story to be told for years and years unless these stories led those who believed to higher place of understanding. In any event, let’s continue with OSIRIS.

1) Osiris may have been the first GodMan – dating back some 2,500 bce
2) Called “Lord of Lords”, “King of Kings”, “God of Gods”, “Resurrection and the Life”, “Good Shepherd”
3) Osiris caused men and women to be “born again”
4) His birth was announced by Three Wise Men
5) Had a star in the east, Sirius, that signified his birth
6) Had a Eucharist ceremony of sorts, in which his flesh was eaten in the form of communion cakes of wheat.
7) Taught almost identical teachings, most word for word as Jesus
8) He was killed and later resurrected, providing hope to all that they may do likewise and become eternal
9) Osiris exclaims “I am the Lord of the fields when they are white ready to harvest”
10) “O Osiris! A well, or flow, comes out of your mouth to him!”
11) He is the Lord of Everlasting Life and ressurection

MOVING ON: Yes that’s right, there are many more SAVIORS for us to discuss, let’s move unto the one the WINEBIBERS 🙂 OF THE WORLD LOVE… Dionysus.

1) Son of God (Zeus)
2) Virgin Birth
3) Dionysus was born of a virgin on December 25th and, as the Holy Child, was placed in a manger.
4) His birth was announced with a heavenly display and celestial music.
5) He was a traveling teacher who performed miracles.
6) He rode in on an ass, which carries him to meet his passion” with crowds shouting and waving bundles of branches.
7) He was a sacred king killed and eaten in a eucharistic ritual for fecundity and purification.
8) Dionysus rose from the dead on March 25th.
9) God of Wine, who turned water into wine.
10) He was considered the “only Begotten Son,” “Savior,” “Redeemer,” “Sin Bearer,” “Anointed One,” and the “Alpha and Omega”, and “Lord God of God born”
11) Called the Lamb
12) He offers his followers the chance to be born again through the rites of baptism.
13) Followers wait for his return to judge the living and dead
14) He was crusified on a tree.
15) Called the True Vine
16) At his trial, Dionysus is described by Freke and Gandy as “a quiet stranger with long hair and a beard who brings a new religion.”

NOW OF COURSE MY FAVORITE IS BUDDHA!

I mean you can basically put his teachings and Jesus’s teachings next to each other, they are almost identical. There are also many similarities in the story telling.

1) Royal Birth announced by a holy man
2) Was tempted of the devil (mara)
3) Fasted in the wilderness
4) Supernatural birth… It is said that immediately after coming out of the womb Buddha walked and that Lotus Flowers Blossomed under each step he took, and the trees were said to Bow to his mother Maya before she gave birth.
5) Buddha wanted to bring an end to suffering
6) He overcame death

But the similar allegory between the Names of Jesus’s mother Mary, and SiddHartha (Buddha’s) mother Maya, is what is really intriguing.

Mary in Greek literally means “Their Rebellion” – So Salvation is birthed from man’s rebellion (which is the illusion of seperation for God)
Maya in Buddhism also means “the Illusion of this Life” – So too we see, out of IGNORANCE the TRUTH is born!

This is so true for us all. In almost every story, MANKIND has forgotten their way to God and because of their ignorance they became evil, wicked, so God had to send a SAVIOR to bring Mankind back to him.

THESE ARE THE WAYS GOD DOES THIS! Through parable, through the passing on of stories, through mythology, tradition, THROUGH ALLEGORY! If you have read any of my articles you know, I pretty much see the allegory in everything, my home, car, wife, children, belonging, neighbors, war, famine, you name it… There is something to learn from it. And SO, OF COURSE, each of these SAVIOR STORIES will have striking similarities! SO, EVERYONE EVENTUALLY WILL COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH (who they are)

Matthew 13:34
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them

Now many will say, the Bible is to be taken LITERALLY and EVERYTHING that happened, LITERALLY HAPPENED… Well, once again I am not hear to dispute that. I HIGHLU DOUBT IT, as did Paul, The Apostle Paul said clearly, stuff just didn’t happen, that they were in fact ALLEGORY.

Galatians 4:23-25
23But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

Shoot Paul said, we were under the same Cloud, and Drank from the Same Rock, Israel in the wilderness was under and drank from… CHRIST. He made it clear, “these things are allegories” – So it should suprise anyone that God would use allegories over the years to teach the same truths, in ways different cultures and times could understand.

OKAY, now, one of my New year Resolutions is going to try and keep my essays a bit shorter for all of you. So, I will simply say, there are many other “Savior” characters that are strikingly simililar to Jesus Christ… Here are some others to look up and have fun with, Saturn, Adonis, Odin, Thor, Hermes, Horace, Hercules, Zoroaster, ahhhhh the list goes on and on. Now, while the list of these mythological Saviors goes on and on, and the similarities they share with what Christians today call their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ cannot be denied, I want to offer you the amazing reason.

IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS BUT ONE STORY, TOLD DIFFERENT WAYS. Does it matter if it was a boy who cried wolf, or a girl who cried lion, if both allegories taught people that there may be devastating consequences for lying?

Now, while many atheists will use these legends and myths to disprove the proof of God. And the many contradictions found in scripture (specifically regarding the life of Jesus, which no one really can attest for sure as to when Jesus walked the literal earth. Where he was between 12-30. Why the Gospels were written decades later, Why the Apostle Paul never once spoke of knowing Jesus after the flesh, and did not focus on the literal but insteadl the ALLEGORICAL), while Atheists will use this as a reason NOT TO BELIEVE IN GOD…

I will USE all of these COINCIDENTAL myths, legends, similarities, and missing and disputed data on the literal life as Christ, as I always do, TO SHOW THE TRUTH OF IT SPIRITUALLY by understanding the ALLEGORY OF IT ALL.

And yes for the NATURE lovers out there. Many could argue all of these stories, are clever ways of telling the story of the LITERAL SUN, and twelve astrological signs (that follow the sun)… Sure we can even point out how for 3 days the SUN seems to die, and also rises again when it CROSSES over…

The Sun dies every year, from the 21st (solstice, lowest point in the sky) to the 25th, when the Sun reverses and begins to return to its former, higher path, after being stationary for 3 days (biblical hell visit of the Son). At the solstice, the Sun is said to be at its weakest power.

I have often pointed out the significance of the number 3 ( a tri-mester ) of birth. THE SUN dies on ITS CROSS (The cross through the equinoxes that is), as we the SONS OF GOD, die (become ignorant) on our CROSS.

Like many of the “Saviors” we read about here. The date of Jesus’ resurrection, is when the position of the sun is at the time of the vernal equinox. This is when WINTER SUN WAS TRULY DEAD— And the day was now longer than the night. March 25th was considered the end of the sun’s passing through the vernal equinox. Interesting, this is right around Easter, is it not?

The definition of EQUINOX means “Two EQUAL times of darkness and LIGHT” -In nature these are the TWO MEN IN ONE BED, TWO WOMAN AT THE MILL… This in fact, is the DOUBLE MINDED MAN… And yes, we live in this world of DUALITY for now. But, even this POINTS US TO THE TRUTH of who we are!

Regardless of where you look, you will find OUR STORY, the story of CHRIST IN US. In ancient religions, in astronomy, under the microscope, anywhere, and everywhere, for it is all an ALLEGORY to bring us back to the TRUTH OF WHO WE ARE!

Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

We need to stop fighting over dogma, and whose religion is right. We need to go within ourselves, calm out minds, and seek God. God is waiting, so knock, seek, and you will find. And the SAVIOR will be born out of the VIRGIN CALLED YOUR QUIET, UNDEFILED MIND!

I didn’t write this paper, to try and attack another’s faith in Jesus. God forbid, my faith in Jesus the man, was part of my journey as well. I was baptized by John, and believed what every religious leader fed me, but there was a hunger inside… God drew me to the SON, and I prayed… Father teach me the truth no matter what the cost. And day by day, I learn more, see more, understand more, and love more. Not because I prayed that prayer, but because I was inspired to, as we all will be when the time is right. So rejoice that the story of Salvation has been told so many different ways over so many different days.

If there was no story of OSIRIS, how would anyone know about the connection between God and man? If not for the Vedas (perhaps the oldest holy book in history) how would anyone learn about the very same connection between God and Man. That GOD is IN MAN, that God is ALL IN ALL, and THAT MAN IS MADE IN GOD’S IMAGE.

There is an inherent TRUTH about our very existence, that we as human beings MUST SHARE AND REALIZE! These stories, teach us of compassion, love, mercy, sacrafice, humilty, living for something, that we can endure regardless of what we suffer. And that even our suffering has purpose. That WE ARE THE MUSIC MAKERS, THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD on earth. And until we all come to the unity of the faith and the stature of the perfect man (which scripture states ALL WILL) – FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, the same story has been told, for those who have eyes to see, and ears to hear, so they too will overcome the world as the many SAVIORS did before them.

We must STOP believing our GOD, our SAVIOR, our BELIEF, is the ONLY BELIEF! We must stop fighting over tits and tats of letters of laws and doctrine, and we MUST see the COMMON TRUTH found in EVERY RELIGION, EVERY MYTH, EVERY LEGEND, IN EVERY LAND, EVERY COUNTRY, and that is that we ALL ARE THE HEROIC Savior that descended into hell (Imagination/ignorance) and must RISE OUT OF IT, AS GOD’S CHILD!

Peace, Jacob

WILL THE WALL LITERALLY FALL?

Jacob Israel8 Comments


Will the Wall Literally Fall?

A long while ago I wrote an essay called “THE WALL WILL FALL”. It was an essay about a dream I had, and I fear I had that the Western Wall in Israel, which so many people put their faith in was going to be torn down. This tragedy as the religious would call it was meant to be a great act of symbolism. For while in the natural world we saw Israel at war and it’s greatest holy idol, the western wall, blown to bits, spiritually we would take from this destruction that the wall of religion was being torn down as well. We would learn that the holy land is not some piece of real estate highly esteemed by some far off angry God, but that humanity itself is that holy land.

Now, back then I believed that this feeling I had would come to pass in the not too distant future, but at the risk of not sounding like all of those that say they hear from God, I wrote the essay in a way to reveal how mankind puts their faith in the temporal and makes eternal things that just are not. I saw this “vision\idea\dream” of the Western Wall being destroyed as a sign, that the idols of religion are to be destroyed within, as they most certainly would one day be destroyed without.

So today, I revisit this horrible thought and take a look back at an essay that I wrote, that still remains an uncomfortable one for me.

Of course, I do not believe that I can predict the future, but I do believe there is nothing new under the sun and we create what we believe. I will not say, as many say, that the ‘Lord’ is speaking to me, for the only thoughts I know of are the thoughts within me… and since I am willing to put these thoughts out there, I know there must be a good reason. I sure hope that somehow, whatever I share will bring and end to a time when any dream of war, is nightmare nothing more.

So let me begin…

The Western Wall in Israel that so many people put their faith in, and the literal land of Israel, which people still today believe is the Holy Land of God is as holy as New Jersey. In fact, the slums of jersey are more holy than this place. Israel is NOT a literal land, which is why I believed I felt this Western Wall would fall.

Hosea 11
1When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

Israel, is the name God gives us. Israel in Hebrew means “God Prevails” — And this essay is a new reminder that regardless of how things seem in the middle east, God’s will WILL be done. God PREVAILS. The one spirit of love and truth within us all will prevail. One way or another.

Sometimes the nightmare has to get real bad before those asleep wake up.

The literal land of Israel has become one of the biggest idols in our world today for Christian and Jew. So about a year ago I started having this feeling that something big was going to happen.

However, very recently, I had a dream, a very strange dream. I was in Palestine and Israel launched an attack. I remember being scared as I ran from their rocket fire. In the dream I found myself smack dab in the middle of it all. Ironically, I shared this dream with a man who calls himself a prophet, big tv guy named John Paul Jackson. A nice enough man who I had the pleasure of sharing many of my insights with years ago. He did not know what to make of the dream, but I did. Pure symbolism manifested in a literal war between Palestine and Israel.

In the dream, Israel launched a devastating attack against Palestine, but as I turned to my right in my dream, I saw such a relatliation on Israel that (in the dream) I said to myself, “They had no idea what they started.” It was a really awful dream, as everyone hopes to see peace one day, but it seems in this region, there has never been peace. The reason? RELIGION!

Religion is the culpit, it almost always is, a false sense of entitlement, and the belief that the land of israel is God’s land is the problem indeed.

So yesterday I begin having this strong feeling again, that perhaps we are to see something big happen in this area. Now, I am no prophet, and I am not making a prediction, but I will say the timing of such an event, (whether war or earthquake) around one of Israel’s high holy days, or new moons, or BLOOD moons would be strangely coincidental.

I learned awhile ago not to have fear sharing thoughts like this. This could mean nothing at all. It could be simple worry, because of the state of Palestine and Israel relations. It could be my heartache for the families in Palestine that are caught in the middle, and have suffered such loss. People have been imprisoned, shot, and lost everything for peaceful protest against the Israeli occupation and total disregard for Human rights or life.

Yet, there is blood on the hands of all nations, and all groups, because it is not about what is right in Gods eyes or not, for they don’t know who or what God is, no one does as the scriptures state, it is about money, power, greed, and domination.

And for this, the Wall they put their faith in will fall.

Anyone who would consider themselves chosen by God, instead of seeing we are all God’s child, image, and manifestation in the earth, is a dangerous person indeed.

Whether allegorical or no, something has to happen to wake up the world.

The question will then become, will this begin WW3? I am sure the fear mongers out there would like to say so…

I will say… wait, and watch… for soon is the coming of paradise once again.

You see, this all must take place first… or so the scriptures state… And for the gnostic in me, I see the wisdom in having every empire and stronghold at war without, when it is time for their influence to fall away within.

Once Israel is no longer seen as the only chosen people, so too will we see that all are chosen, as the judgment against such a literal nation is carried out, whether in my dreams or in reality.

So we will see so unrest in the world. How could we not? We are at war with ourselves, and as long as we are there will be war. For this creation (humanity) to be finished in victory we must see the evil of idolatry (money, religion, power, etc) replaced by the goodness of hope, charity and good will toward all men.

LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS. PERIOD! In doing this, the law is fulfilled, meaning you are no longer a slave to it, meaning you are free to be who you are, who you really are.

If the Wall does fall in the physical, than that means the idolatry of the world will fall as well. If Israel goes to war, then that would be a physical allegory of what is happening spiritually to everyone of us. If the physical state of israel, the WALL in particular is torn apart, that means the CARNAL BELIEFS in all of us are torn apart.

Matthew 23:36-38
36Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

As you know by now, I see almost everything in scripture and in our conscious life as allegory. Everything that is happening in the world, and in our personal lives, I see as an allegory of what is going on spiritually.

Right now, “ISRAEL” A literal people who believe they are chosen by God, are rumored to be committing unspeakable crimes against those they deem are not children of God. — Spiritually the very same thing is happening.

The Religions of the world, will condemn and cast out anyone and everyone who believes differently. People today would rather take up arms and fight and kill then love and forgive.

Hosea 7
13Woe unto Israel! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
15Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.

The literal Land of Israel, their government, is a symbol of the religious minded today. They all believe they are God’s chosen, they believe that they are entitled to whatever they want, and they will take whatever they want, and destroy anyone that stands in their way. This way of thinking, in Israel, and in each and everyone of us, WILL COME TO AN END! I simply pray that the hearts of the world are changed without having to first see the complete devastation that will most surely come IF WE DO NOT LOVE GOD AND OTHERS, if we do not RETURN TO THE LORD.

Luke 21:20-22
20And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

So, I pray instead of war, we see peace talks, borders erased, temples and churches and mosques left vacant and a people coming together in loving unity, making this world a better place… But sadly in this I do not yet have faith. So instead I pray, we see each other as sister and brother, we forgive and forget, and remember who we truly are.

Keep your eyes on the world, and your lives, because I do believe everything is about to change!

Jacob

YOU ARE GODS!

Jacob Israel37 Comments



YOU ARE GODS!

I am going to start by saying this essay will only make sense to a select few. But for those who can grasp the words I am about to write, I will say, you are a chosen lot, and either stark raving mad, or incredibly blessed, but either way, you will find it is of your own doing, and choosing.

You see a lot of people are living their lives in such a limited way. They believe that they have no control over things. Some believe they can never get away from people who want to hurt them, never meet the right guy or girl, never catch a break, never find health, nothing (They believe) works out for them. And so they are always hurting and always in despair. And so, because of their belief, they are the complete perfect image of what they believe themselves to be. Isn’t it true? Those that are always sick, and believe they are always sick, are always sick. Those that are always the victim, say they are always the victim, are always the victim. Those that never get ahead are the very same people who believe they can never get ahead. IS THIS A COINCIDENCE? IS IT JUST THE TRUTH? OR… Are they creating the life they are living? Is their belief perpetuating their sorrow?

Mark 11:23
…WHOSOEVER… shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he says.

If you look closer, everything thing you say about your life is true. The people who have such confidence that they can accomplish everything and have no doubt, accomplish what they believe they can accomplish. Those people who believe life will never get better, find that their lives never get better. I know there are people reading this essay right now, that are probably in a bad way. They have terrible trials, and believe they will never get ahead, and they won’t. So long as they believe this, and say this to others.

Romans 10:10
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

It is lack of faith that destroys us. Our thoughts are like seeds. Whatever seed (thought) we nourish grows. So if we believe we will fail, why would we ever win? If we believe we will never get ahead. How can we ever get ahead. Stop for a moment… Have you ever once considered that WHAT YOU BELIEVE ABOUT YOURSELF AND THE WORLD IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE CREATED FOR YOURSELF AND THE WORLD?

Colossians 1
15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

Many read this passage, and think that this means ONE MAN, Jesus Christ. But they cannot see that…

1 John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.

If the IMAGE of the INVISIBLE GOD makes all things, and all things have been given and put beneath the IMAGE OF GOD. And as it is written, by the IMAGE OF GOD all things were created in Heaven and Earth, visible and invisible, ALL THINGS were created BY THE IMAGE … FOR THE IMAGE. Did you ever stop and think who the IMAGE OF GOD really is?

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

Whether you can hear this or not, WE (HUMANITY) are the IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD. We are the MANY MEMEMBERED BODY OF GOD’S SON (Child). MALE AND FEMALE God made HIS SON (Children). I know this is hard for many to grasp, because you have been taught that only JESUS is the SON OF GOD. And so Jesus was and Is, but you must also understand SO ARE WE! This is why Jesus is quoted as saying, “Greater things than these shall we do” Jesus was the WORD of God. The LOGIC AND WISDOM of God made flesh (tangible) and WE are the WORD OF GOD, LIVING epistles to be read of all men. There is no difference between us, THIS IS WHAT WE MUST WAKE UP TO. Because, we are creating the HELL or HEAVEN we are living in, whether we know it or not. Because ALL THINGS visible or invisible are made by the IMAGE OF GOD, which we all are. THIS IS THE MYSTERY.

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

THE WORD CHRIST! Simply means “the annointed one of God” “the annointing of God” – CHRIST is our LIFE, our LIFE IS HID IN CHRIST. Meaning….

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

Right now, we don’t TRULY KNOW who we are. We only know in part, we only know a little bit. We don’t know the TRUTH of who we are, until that REVELATION comes… Then we shall KNOW as we are KNOWN… Which literally means, we shall know WHO WE REALLY ARE.

Psalm 82:6
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

Who is the BEGINNING AND THE END? — all of us! Do something for me. Think of what you, I, and everyone else in the world has in common… Everything begins and ends with us. (As it is written, everything begins and ends with the SON (IMAGE)… All any of us can say with absolute certainty is “I AM” — All we know for sure, is WE EXIST! That is a great mystery. But consider, when you close your eyes, does not the world go away. When you open them, does it not return? When you wake up, does not the world appear? When you go to sleep, does not this world go away? When you dream, do you not create new worlds in your sleep?

All any of us can say for sure, is “I am”… I exist. For all we know, everyone around us, is simply a projection from within us. In fact, science even backs this up. Everything going on outside of us, is actually HAPPENING WITHIN US…. We just percieve it to be outside. But everything is taking place within the MIND. At the place of the SKULL (where the TRUTH of who we are was put to death) – But I am getting ahead of myself.

At this point in time, we are lost. We don’t know the TRUTH yet. And so we suffer a great deal. We suffer because we don’t know OUR TRUE LIFE, OUR PURPOSE, we don’t know WHO WE ARE!

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

But even our present suffering aren’t worthy to be compared, to what will come out of them. FOR ANY NIGHTMARE to stop, it must get so bad that the individual wakes from it. The same is true for our waking life, until we realize we have been creating a life of misery for ourselves, until we realize that whatever we sow (think, speak, or do) is what we shall reap, we will continue to suffer. BUT WHEN WE WAKE UP TO THE TRUTH OF WHO WE ARE, and see the limitless possibilities that we can create, because ALL AUTHORITY was given into our hands, THEN WE WILL BE FREE!

1 John 5:20
And we know that the Son of God is come (revealed), and hath given us an understanding, that WE may know (BECOME ONE WITH) him that is true, and WE ARE IN HIM that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life

Think about it, WE ARE IN CHRIST, CHRIST IS IN US. – For something to be both in something and that something to be in what is in it, that means, it is entirely that which is IN and OUT. In other words, ALL THERE IS IS GOD, and we (humanity) are HIS SON (CHILD). We are a corporate body, all of us, we are all the same, and yet different. We are ALL ONE, but we believe we are seperate. “It is not good for man to be alone” – This is why, the soul was created. So the ONE could become the MANY IN THE ONE, and the ONE IN THE MANY.

Look, I know this may be too deep for many of you. But think for a moment about what the meaning of LIFE REALLY IS.

What if? You were in control of your life. As scripture states, “everything was made by the son for the son through the son” and if we ARE that SON (corporate body of Christ) – Adam (Humanity in Ignorance) Christ (Humanity Enlightened) – that perhaps we are collectively creating this world, by what we believe about ourselves and others.

Imagine for a moment, that you, and everyone here, is GOD’s CHILD… and if a CHILD OF GOD, then a god, as well. Capable of doing all that God the FATHER has done. What if, that is what is happening here. That where once there was ONE, GOD said, it is not good for MANKIND to be alone, so we (elohim) gave each of us an individual soul, identity, and in so doing, we entered human form and DIED.

To be carnally minded is DEATH

We are in the valley of the shadow of DEATH, right now. Because physically, we are all approaching physical death. But spiritually we are also dead, because we became IGNORANT the moment we entered human form. We FORGOT that we are GOD’S CHILD, that YE ARE GOD’S AND ALL OF US CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH. This is why we MUST REMEMBER!

John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

What is we forgot who we were, because we created a new reality the instant we starting thinking about what is right and what is wrong. What is good and evil. What if all of the suffering in the world, the violence, the terrible deeds, we all collectively created, so we would wake up and understand compassion, love, and truth, instead of hate, prejudice, and greed?

What if we placed God far from us in our imagination, as opposed to remembering that we are in God, and God is in Us, and we are actually one, and we began to dwell in this world, that we believe is the only reality.

But think about it…. This reality, is it NOT OF OUR MAKING? Have we not created the good and the bad? The war and the peace? Is this world, not under our complete authority? Are we not in control? Can’t we collectively say, NO ONE SHALL STARVE, AND IF WE SAY THIS WILL ANYONE EVER AGAIN STARVE?… ARE WE NOT OUR BROTHERS KEEPER?

IS THIS WORLD NOT A PRISON OF OUR OWN MAKING? Are we not in HELL? Yes, we are, it is the grave, because the LIFE which is CHRIST, died the INSTANT we forgot we are CHRIST. We forgot the WAY to the FATHER, is by BEING THE WAY (ONE SPIRIT that is IN US ALL, and IS AUS ALL) WAS THROUGH THE SON. (US)

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Now many, believe this passage means. You cannot come to God, unless you believe in a man from two thousand years ago. But I say to you, you CANNOT know God unless you BECOME THAT SON OF GOD yourself. You cannot KNOW GOD until you understand, YOU ARE THE WAY, YOU ARE THE LIGHT. There was a time you knew Jesus after the flesh, but NO LONGER.

In other words, the ONLY WAY to GOD, is THROUGH US. No one can know God except through the SON, who is ONE with God, and can only do what GOD TELLS HIM TO DO, say what God tells him to say, because they are ONE. And if they are one than they are not divided. And if they are not divided then they are the same. And if the same, then both ARE IN CONTROL OF CREATING.

God said, LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE
Man says, Let’s get our groove on and MAKE A CHILD in OUR IMAGE

Do you see? Can you see?

Whatever is bound in heaven is bound in earth.
Whatever you believe YOU CANNOT DO, YOU WILL NOT DO!

Whatever is loosed in heaven is loosed in earth.
Whatever you believe you can create from the inside out, you will CREATE!

This is probably one of the most confusing and most important papers I have ever written. But it is TIME to ARISE out of our sleep, and understand who we are, and what we are capable of.

Now, look, I’m not SAYING you can walk on literal walk, or perform great and mighty miracles like turning a walking stick into Moses’s snake… that is all allegory.

Everything that we create, MUST be done in the paremeters of what we collectively have agreed this earth to be, governed by certain laws like gravity, etc. BUT, and this is a BIG BUT! We can do ALL THINGS WITHIN these parameters. In other words, if we believe certain things will happen, it will ALWAYS SEEM as a strange and a peculiar coincidence, because it HAD to happen in ways you can wrap your mind around. CHANCE, COINCIDENCE, RIGHT TIME, RIGHT PLACE… These things we believe happen. And so it is by our BELIEF in these things, that these things happen. You see, you don’t need to worry about HOW things will manifest in your life. You just need to BELIEVE THEY WILL, and they WILL. It has to go along with the natural order of what we believe this place to be.

This is why so many marriages fall apart, for so many years we have been force fed lies, and condemnation, that for years all we have collectively created for ourselves this hell. But when two or three are gathered in one accord, when you and your husband or wife, believe you marriage will be blessed, then you will both act as if it is, and it will BECOME! United you both have to BELIEVE your marriage can work for it to work! And if you both do this, the greater your marriage will be. This simple example, is what we need to put into practice with every area of our lives. We MUST understand that we are CREATING OUR PAIN and our PEACE. WE ARE THE ONES AT THE HELM, because there is ONLY ONE SPIRIT.

Ephesians 4
3Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

This is the GREAT MYSTERY that has been hidden from our lives. We are ALL THE ONE, and the ONE IS ALL. This is why Ephesians 4 states we MUST ENDEAVOUR to keep the UNITY OF THE SPIRIT in the BOND OF PEACE. Because we are ALL ONE, in Christ, In God! So whatever we believe, we create!

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

Many of you have probably thought you were very intuitive at times in your life, when things happen, and you say “I knew that would happen” – Have you ever once considered, you had absolute faith that would happen, and that is what happened? Have you ever thought, that perhaps YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE?

Ephesians 1
21Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

You see we are ALL CHRIST, and when we understand we are CHRIST, that EVERYTHING IS PUT BENEATH OUR FEET (Our belief and testimony and witness) – Blessed are the FEET of those that bring the Gospel. (the Good news of who we all are).

Now, you may say, I have heard this before… This is like the SECRET! Well, you couldn’t be farther from the truth. You see you cannot change the WILL of another, only GOD in them can do that. So while you want to create harmony at your work place, you must realize that others are also creating. This is why, many times you imagine things will happen, and they do, but it happens a bit differently than you imagined. You see you MUST NOT CREATE out of SELFISH NEEDS OR GAIN. You MUST create for the greater good. You must think GOOD THOUGHTS, not terrible ones. It is the only path to salvation for yourself and the world. You MUST completely submit yourself to GOD WITHIN… Meaning you MUST UNDERSTAND, it is no longer YOU that LIVE but CHRIST, and CHRIST only does what the FATHER DOES. And so, as one of our children grow up to become a father as well, so too, we the child become the Father as well.

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

So first we must understand, that we are the SON. That is the only way to the FATHER. And we must understand that everything is created by the SON, for the SON (us) and whatever we SOW we REAP. If we create suffering we will reap suffering, if we judge a person to be terrible THEY WILL BE TERRIBLE. This is why we are told to pray for our enemies and ONLY THINK ON GOOD THINGS!

Like I said, this is not The SECRET, or some other new age nonsence teaching… this is the truth, when you begin to live your life for others, and see others as yourself (For in fact that is who they are) then you begin to create a masterpiece of a life. You can do and become anything you want, so long as it helps spiritually evolve the whole.

Because we are ONE and so we must be out for EVERYONE. You can’t live a perfect healthy life, if you allow a gangraneous toe to get worse in its situation. You HAVE to take care of the part of your body that is ill, for you to finally live a perfect healthy life. So what does this mean? It means what Paul said.

1 Thessalonians 4:15
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming (revealing) of the Lord shall not precede them which are asleep.

We can’t be wealthy at the expense of someone being poor. This is not resurrection, this is merely something we will have to deal with in the next life. We must learn to LOVE OTHERS as we LOVE OURSELF. Because EVERYONE is indeed a reflection of ourself. We can change things, with Faith ALL things are possible. We must understand who we are, and why it is so important to understand this.

We are all ONE, and the ONE is God.

Romans 11:36
For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

So create your life differently, a kingdom DIVIDED cannot stand. And right now this world is SO DIVIDED that the entire world has fallen. We MUST realize who we are IN GOD, WE ARE THE IMAGE OF GOD. CHRIST IS OUR LIFE.

If we believe most people are out for themselves, will we ever see a world where everyone is out for others?
If we believe there can never be peace in the world, could we ever see peace in the world?

HOWEVER!

If we wanted to help others and believe others wanted to help others, would it not be possible that since we collectively agree it is better to love than hate, share than steal, help than hurt, that we would indeed live in a peaceful, thriving world, where no one worries again?

First everyone must believe this about themselves and others, and then others would have to do the same, and you see, it would only follow that everyone could change this world in ONE MOMENT.

What if your lack of faith in the goodness of others, is the reason their is so liitle goodness in others?

What if your lack of faith in people paying you what you are worth, or honoring you for being you, what if your lack of belief that you can change the world, is keeping you from everything you believe YOU COULD NEVER BE!

BUT WHAT IF YOU DID BELIEVE?

What if everyone reading this essay, began to understand that from the moment they stopped reading this essay they could, as an artist applies paint to the canvas, begin to create their lives in the direction they want to create it… But here is the twist, since we are ALL ONE, and ONE is THE ALL, we cannot DENY OURSELVES… So even if there are some that do not believe, OUR FAITH can help them. OUR LOVE CAN DRAW A MULTITUDE TO CHANGE!

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

So UNDERSTAND your dreams can never be completely fulfilled or created unless your desires are for the good of collective, the ONE, US, God’s SON (Humanity) – Who, I will remind you, was given complete rule and dominion, to create, to name, to live, to do as we list.

Romans 13:11
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

We still have so much to reap that we have already sown. So if you begin to think on these things “Peace, hope, charity, etc” and you still find difficulty and pain, it is merely because you have been creating the bed you have been lying in, and there may still be some thorns to get through. But IF from this MOMENT! You begin to take captive your thoughts, and BELIEVE that ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! And you begin to LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR as yourself, if you continue to do this, than you will see YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. The DESIRES OF YOUR HEART were given to you by God, and the only thing stopping you from reaching your desires is the thought that it is impossible. BUT FOR THOSE WITH FAITH NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

Psalms 82
6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
If you can hear this, and you begin to judge properly (decide what should be and what should not be) you will inherit everything, for EVERYTHING IS YOURS TO BEGIN WITH! So create, believe, love, and above all else, LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART! BECAUSE GOD IS YOUR HEART!
