God’s Okay With Gay
Today we often hear people who proclaim themselves to be Christians condemning those who are gay. If it isn’t the angry men and women holding signs about how homosexuals are going to burn in hell (which doesn’t exist the way they believe), then it is those self proclaimed Christian Leaders publicly denouncing, shaming, and condemning anyone who was orientated this way. And yes we even have those so-called born again celebrities like Kirk Cameron that will go on the air and show the world just how ignorant he really is about the scriptures, much less God himself. There are two rules we MUST abide by as children of the Most High and that is LOVE GOD, and LOVE OTHERS. Now the word OTHERS doesn’t mean just those who go to your church, it means EVERYONE. Now some Christians will say that it is LOVE to say that a person’s lifestyle is wrong, yet that is NOT what LOVE IS. Love does not judge, and yes we are told not to judge. In fact, the scriptures are clear about what LOVE is. Here is one simple paragraph from Ephesians that spells out what Love is.
1 Corinthians 13
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails.
LOVE DOES NOT KEEP A RECORD OF WRONG DOING, and GOD IS LOVE. LOVE DOES NOT DISHONOR OTHERS, and GOD IS LOVE. Love does never fails! Love waits for the lost to return with open arms and doesn’t ask where they have been, and doesn’t care. Love forgives, love does not cast out, love does not judge, LOVE NEVER FAILS, and GOD IS LOVE!
To believe you are somehow better than another because you are oriented as a heterosexual is self serving. LOVE IS NOT SELF SERVING, and GOD IS LOVE. To state that others are someone an abomination to God for being the very thing God created them to be is more offensive to the creator than the creation. Because the POTTER is the one with all the power. And the POTTER IS LOVE!
The very same “christian leaders” that condemn people for being oriented toward the same sex are usually the most corrupt hypocrites around, they lie, they cheat, they itch ears to get what they want, they condemn, they gossip, they tear down, they steal, they do everything they can to make their religious kingdom bigger and it is always at the expense of the very people that should be helped the most. So when I hear any Christian leader taking a stand against same sex marriage or homosexuality it always bothers me. 1st because it is ungoldy to do so, and 2nd because these very same people that use the scriptures to beat down others don’t understand the scriptures themselves. The reason is the are seeing what they want to see as opposed to rightly dividing what is written. One of the most misunderstood and mistranslated of these is Romans Chapter one, which many pastors and priests use to condemn homosexuals. I’d like to shed some light on this chapter and open the eyes of those who have believe God would hate the very person he created because of how he created them.
LET’S BEGIN!
Romans Chapter One is the most quoted book in the scripture used to state that being gay is a big no, no, when it comes to God. BUT LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR, ROMANS CHAPTER ONE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SEXUALITY!!!!
Now for years, I have shared this with others, and for years people have decided to believe what they want, regardless of the evidence placed in front of them. I want to start by saying, God is in control of all things. He created all things, is large and in charge and NOTHING can stop his will.
Isaiah 9
10Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
And what is God’s will, counsel, and pleasure? To bring all things into Christ.
Ephesians 1
9Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
That’s right, God does the work people. He is the potter, we are the clay. God cannot fail, and that is the GOOD NEWS. ALL THING WILL COME TO THE STATURE OF THE PERFECT MAN (CHRIST) AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. That means no one, and nothing is left out. Eventually, ALL will be perfected, because it is God’s will that ALL be saved. 1 Timothy Chapter 4:10.
Ephesians 4:13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Now, I could list hundreds of other passages that prove salvation will come to all humanity, but that is not what this essay is about. This essay is about righting the WRONG interpretation of a Chapter One in Romans, which actually gives us more hope that God is in control, and everything is going according to plan, than having to do with homosexuality.
Romans One, teaches us how God course corrects us spiritually. When we go off the straight and narrow, he brings us back through what we suffer. And he even uses our ignorance and hardness of heart to bring others into the glorious light of his Gospel. Yes, even the WICKED are God’s instrument of correction.
Psalm 17:13
Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword
Now, before I get into The “Reprobate Mind” deal, let me first say, we do make choices every day. But every choice is influenced by thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of other factors. But most importantly, every choice we make has a consequence.
Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap
This proces of REAPING AND SOWING, is a great tool. We eventually learn that it is better to love than hate, to forgive than be bitter, to give instead of take. This is a system that will never fail, God’s election to save humanity will stand. The ONLY ONE DESTROYED in the end is the CARNAL MAN. And Romans One is talking about how many have left the truth of God to serve this carnal meathead nature.
ROMANS ONE isn’t stating that God is upset because a man or woman is attracted and oriented toward the same sex. In fact, homosexuality is of God, made of God, as he creates all things for us to learn from in the physical. It teaches people to love regardless of how foreign something seems to us.
1 John 4:20
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
And for those who CONDEMN people who are gay, who say they cannot lead a congregation, attend a church, that they will burn in Hell (which hopefully you know Hell = Grave = Your ignorance.. by now) – But this condemnation… That many say is “LOVING the person but hating the sin” is a bunch of nonsence.
Let me show you what LOVE is, and let’s see if “Casting people out and condemnation” is part of Love.
Galatians 5
14For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
You MUST love others as you love yourself, do unto others as you want done unto you. Love does not tear down, it builds, it doesn’t attack and give up, it sticks around and is steadfast!
This is the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT – 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
In other words, if you are operating out of the SPIRIT OF GOD/TRUTH/LOVE then this is your fruit. If you are operating out of your FLESH (to fulfill the lusts thereof) you are operating out of the carnal mind which produces DEATH (ignorance/suffering/ and condemnation) – That’s right the FLESH is not your SKIN, the FLESH is the carnal mind.
Let me show you clearly, so it is easy to see that the FLESH is a symbol of CARNAL THINKING.
Galatians 5:17
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Romans 8:7
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Now with all that being said, it should be clear, A) God is in control and makes things as he sees fit. B) Nothing can keep God from accomplishing his will (save humanity). C) We cannot condemn others and say we love God because if we do this we are liars. D) The Lusts of the Flesh have nothing to do with our sensual urges, but our sensual worship, worshipping the creature not the creator.
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT ROMANS ONE is speaking of. This is not Paul going off on people who are gay, but Paui speaking of how SO MANY HAVE DEPARTED FROM THE FAITH. The Faith, which is the TRUE WORSHIP of God’s sovereignty. Which, you will see if going on right now, at many churches/temples/mosques/kingdom halls/etc near you.
SO LET’S BEGIN SHALL WE?
Now to save time, I’m going to briefly sum up what Paul is talking about, before we get into those passages everyone seems to quote. You know those gay bashing Christian Quotes.
Romans 1
1Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
Paul starts off, as most of his letters do, by stating who he is and how he is SEPARATED to the TRUTH, which is the good news I wrote of earlier. The Good news which was promised for all in the scriptures. Paul then goes on to tell the Romans how he wants to visit them, that he has heard of their faith and wants a prosperous journey, yadda, yadda, yadda, and that he wants to impart some spiritual gift to them… Which, for those who think this is miracle healing, or speaking jibberish, or falling out, etc… I want you to know the spiritual gift imparted ALWAYS IS THE IMPARTING OF THE TRUTH!
When someone is seen laying on hands in scripture, this is an allegory of someone imparting the authority of the truth onto another, which HEALS the PERSON SPIRITUALLY! (the blind cannot SEE the truth, the deaf can’t HEAR the truth, the Lame can’t walk upright, the DEAD are ignorant) – But I digress, the imparting of the SPIRITUAL GIFT, Paul speaks of, is sharing his faith as you’re about to see.
11For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; 12That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the MUTUAL FAITH both of you and me.
The ONLY SPIRITUAL GIFT there is, is the GOSPEL OF CHRIST, which is FOR ALL MANKIND, the power of God unto SALVATION. This is the gift indeed, and this is what Paul is imparting, THE TRUTH. So they may be established in this FAITH, MUTUALLY. “One Spirit, one Mind, One Body, One God” ONE = UNITY OF THE TRUTH.
MOVING ON:
So, now we get into the meat of what this letter to the Romans is about.
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Paul isn’t ashamed of the TRUTH, because the TRUTH/WORD/CHRIST is the only thing that sets us free to be saved. He goes on to say, that it is salvation to EVERYONE THAT BELIEVES. And we know that to believe this TRUTH, you must be able to submit to it, and confess it. And guess what?
Romans 14:11
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
That’s right, I’m not ashamed either. EVERYONE will eventually come to the KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH! To God’s glory. To the Jew First and then the Gentile, and a simple study shows that ALL GENTILES are brought in, so ALL ISRAEL WILL be saved as well… MEANING, NO ONE IS LEFT OUT!
So far, it’s easy to see Paul is not speaking about sexuality. He is talking about CHRIST, the power of God and salvation. This is what ROMANS CHAPTER ONE is about people, as you’ll see.
17For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. 18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Now Paul goes on to explain, that God’s righteousness is revealed by living in the FAITH of his TRUTH. And he goes on to speak about how God’s wrath is revealed from heaven (which is within all of us) to CORRECT US FROM the lies we have believed.
God will always correct people when they begin to worship false gods (beliefs/teachings) – When that happens God must “course correct”. He does this by pouring out his WRATH, and when you understand what the word origen of WRATH means, you’ll see it is how God brings us to his truth. (Word/Christ)
WRATH = o¹reÑgomai = to stretch one’s self out in order to touch or to grasp something, to reach after or desire something
It’s amazing to see, that GOD’S WRATH is actually what he does to you, for you to UNDERSTAND the TRUTH of who you are in HIM. His wrath is to get you to STRETCH TOWARD HIM, TO GO FURTHER IN HIM, TO GRASP HIS NATURE WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU!
So far, we can easily understand, Paul’s letter is speaking of MAN’S BELIEFS and FAITH. It is all about KNOWING GOD, CHRIST, and OUR RELATIONSHIP with the CREATOR.
For 18 verses, this is what this letter has been about. not about Paul saying, “hey look, I hear there are some gays among you, that’s messed up dude! God hates those fags!” – NO, God forbid, God loves all his creation and EVERYTHING HE HAS MADE is NEVER to be called UNCOMMON!
Ecclesiastes 3:11
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time
There is a point and purpose and season for EVERYTHING UNDER THE SON! But let’s continue…
19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20For 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:
Paul is still going on about BELIEF AND FAITH in the TRUTH OF GOD. Paul is saying, people should have no excuse, that even the things that are made are there to help us to understand God and his power. I always say, our lives are a wonderful allegory of what is going on spiritually. From where we work, to what we eat, how we dress, the car we drive… If you look at your life, and really analyze it, you’ll find great spiritual insight. You will also see that those things that anger you the most, the people that hurt you the most, are actually there to help you OVERCOME the most, LOVE the most, and TRUST in God like never before! This is the WRATH that is poured out from HEAVEN (Within). If you won’t listen to the shepherd, that sheep dog will make you suffer until you do. Even our heartaches are there to drive us to the kingdom. Indeed, through MUCH TRIBULATION we enter the Kingdom (rule) of God.
But, still, we see Paul is speaking of KNOWING AND HAVING FAITH IN GOD. Let’s continue…
21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
NOW HERE is the purpose of this entire first chapter of Romans. Notice, Paul is NOT TALKING about sexuality! Paul is speaking of people BECOMING IGNORANT AND FOOLISH. Paul is saying, that when people knew God, they didn’t glorify God as God or were thankful. In fact, they became VAIN, puffed up with pride, and basically created this crazy thing called religion. And instead of LOVING GOD AND OTHERS, they began to condemn others, hate other, and tell others what they should or shouldn’t do. How to worship “man’s god” and how not to worship “man’s god”. Who is worthy of “man’s god” and who is not… These religious meatheads started telling everyone, “they” were wise and knew the truth of God. They said, they were the authority on the things of God and so they actually became FOOLS. Their hearts were darkened, which means THEY BECAME IGNORANT of God’s truth!
YOU SEE, this, THIS, is what Paul is writing to the Romans about. Many were following after VAIN, FALSE TEACHING and BELIEFS. They changed the TRUTH of GOD into a LIE, and began to WORSHIP MANKIND (THE CREATURE) instead of God, as you’ll soon see.
23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Here we are verse 23, and STILL Paul is talking about people having FALSE BELIEFS about God. This has NOTHING to do with LITERAL SEX!
He is speaking very clearly about people TURNING the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man – Hey, anyone here WORSHIP the “MAN JESUS” AS GOD LATELY?
Ah, but that’s another essay on my blog for you to check out later!
My goal, today is to show you that ROMANS 1 is about how Man began to WORSHIP MAN and SERVE MAN instead of God! Leaving God out of the equation… Man instead of realizing who they are in Christ, became ANTICHRIST in their VAIN imaginations. So, because of Man’s false beliefs, God decides to GIVE THEM OVER TO THEIR FALSE BELIEFS COMPLETLY, which in fact will ultimately frustrate them (the law kills) and bring them back to HIM…
Moving on… Now read the next verse in context to everything else that has been stated to this point and it will be impossible to believe that Paul is speaking of homosexuality.
24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Oh, I know, some will say, this is where God begins to bash those gays. But you would be SO WRONG to jump to that conclusion. In fact, you would be doing EXACTLY what Paul says “Those vain fools” are doing.
Now, I know it seems that when you read words like “THEIR OWN BODIES” and how they began to DISHOUNOR their own Bodies… that to the IGNORANT VAIN BELIEVER, it may seem like God is talking about Gays, but YOU COULDN’T BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
First of all, a literal physical body has no conscience, and so it cannot be DISHOUNORED! … Secondly, the word BODIES is not speaking of literal BODIES, as we are meant to be the BODY OF CHRIST, (A MINDSET OF BELIEVERS) — You see the BODIES that are being DISHONOURED here are the consciences of those who have left the TRUTH OF GOD for the LIES OF MAN.
Hebrews 10:22
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
This is what is being dishonoured, man’s conscience. Once you leave the truth of God, you leave the peace that is only found in Christ and the end result is you will have NO REST until you return. And no worries, ALL RETURN!
But for those who thought this passage was speaking of homosexuals… read the next verse.
25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
WOW, will you look at that, once again it has nothing to do with physicality. Paul is speaking about mankind turning the Truth of God (Love) into a Lie (Condemnation), and how mankind has begun to serve their carnal natures and beliefs instead of the CREATOR! – IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING GAY!
Oh, but the next line is the doozy, YOU’LL SAY!
Paul for 25 verses is SPEAKING ABOUT OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE and how man has left the Truth of God for lies, and the worship of man made nonsence, and then IN the next verse Paul says…
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
God gave them over to their VILE AFFECTIONS… Now what were their VILE AFFECTIONS AGAIN? Was Paul just talking about how men love men and women love women? NO! Their vile affection was that they left GOD to worship and serve MAN AND RELIGION. That was their VILE AFFECTION, THEIR CARNAL DESIRE TO BE GOD THEMSELVES!
They thought they knew it all about God, and so they made MANKIND god, and began to worship and serve that. Paul is talking about SPIRITUAL things PEOPLE… But when people read that “women change natural use into that which is against nature” ignorant carnal people say, “This is talking about women having sex with women and having anal sex” – May I say to those who believe such things, THIS SAYS MORE ABOUT YOUR LUSTS PHYSICALLY than it does about what Paul is speaking of.
The woman, Paul is speaking of… the same WOMAN that is never to speak in Temple. Is NOT A LITERAL WOMAN. A Woman is a symbol of that which gives birth TO SOMETHING.
John 16:21
A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
The WOMAN of scripture, is the same that decieved ADAM (the man) – The woman is the SOUL (sense of being) – It is the sensual understanding of man, that leads man astray.
Proverbs 2:16
To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words
When we follow after our SOULISH NATURE and stray from the SPIRIT OF GOD, we end up in trouble… But you’ll see, almost everywhere in scripture “the WOMAN” IS A SYMBOL of God’s lost children. The SOUL of man, which is to give birth to CHRIST in the here and now. To BIRTH the spiritual truth in the natural. But when you follow after the LIES of the world, and when you LEAVE THE TRUTH OF GOD to serve mankind, the WOMAN changes what IS ITS natural use, for that which is NOT NATURAL… meaning, the womb of our soul is left barren of truth and only births lies… But for FURTHER insight into what THE WORD “NATURAL” means, for those pervs out there. Let’s go to the word origin.
Natural – fusiko/v = produced by nature, inborn
Now with that in mind. Let’s look at that scripture again, with new eyes.
… for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
“For we (ourselves) changed what is INBORN (Christ) into that which is against Christ (ANTI-CHRIST)”
Once again, we see Paul is still writing about SPIRITUAL things. This whole letter is about MANKINd WORSHIPPING MANKIND… Man wanting desperately to worship and serve man! And by doing this, the TRUTH OF WHO WE ARE INSIDE is still hidden in the DEATH of who we believe ourselves to be.
Now the next, verse THE SAME AS THE FIRST :)… KEEPING ALL OF THIS IN MIND makes so much MORE sense.
27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Now, I want to take this one piece at a time. Because you will soon see HOW MISLED you have been by homophobic and biased religious teachers.
I will translate and give the proper interpretation next to each line of scripture.
And likewise also the men = The word MEN here doesn’t mean LITERAL MAN, it means – MEN = aiµrw = to take upon one’s self and carry what has been raised up, to bear
We see here, we were supposed to bear up Christ but we didn’t, we LEFT the natural use of the woman (That is INBORN in us)… TO DO THAT WHICH IS UNSEEMLY (I’ll get there in a sec.)
Now I want to point out that word “LEFT” doesn’t mean, Men decided “hey I am going to leave having sex with a woman to have sex with men” that’s ridiculous… Especially when you understand what the word LEFT actually means from the GREEK.
LEFT = a)fiðhmi = to send away, divorce, disregard
You put it all together and you find out… That We were supposed to RAISE UP Christ IN US, but we decided to disregard the very spirit INBORN, within us, so that we instead could worship and serve the CREATURE, the OUTSIDE TEMPORAL WORLD! And so we “BURNED our lusts torward one another, or should I say, one another’s beliefs/lies!”
MANKIND’S LUSTS has nothing to do with what people say it means today. The LUST OF MAN is to BE GOD. And this is what Paul is speaking of. And by worshipping and serving the CREATURE instead of the CREATOR, we began “WORKING that which is unseemly”.
Translation anyone?
WORKING = katerga/zomai = accomplish, achieve
UNSEEMLY = a)sxhmosu/nh = Ones nakedness, shame
It should be very easy to see, this has NOTHING TO DO WITH LITERAL PHYSICAL SEX!
When Mankind abandons the Christ that is INBORN, and disregards the very NATURE OF CHRIST that is meant to be RAISED WITHIN because they would rather worship the CREATURE (carnal mankind and the temporal world) the end result is, they ACCOMPLISH NOTHING BUT SEEING THEIR OWN SHAME, NAKEDNESS, AND LIMITATION.
Oh, still don’t believe me… Well, if those two verses, WHICH I TRANSLATED PROPERLY were meant to discuss a persons orientation sexually, then WHY ARE THESE THE NEXT WORDS PAUL WRITES?
28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
YOU SEE, Mankind refused to keep GOD in their minds. So God gave them over to their IGNORANCE, to do those things which are NOT CONVENIENT… And no this is NOT SPEAKING OF ANAL SEX, mind out of the gutter people.
REPROBATE = a)do/kimov = not standing the test, not approved
CONVENIENT = kaqiðhmi = to come to the knowledge of, to reach to
Will you look at those WONDERFULLY, PROPERLY, TRANSLATED WORDS… Once again, showing that when MANKIND refuses the truth of God, that which is WITHIN THEM (Christ) will not be birthed, And so God will NOT APPROVE them, and they wil NOT COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, or REACH the STATURE of the perfect man (CHRIST).
Now, if anyone, after reading this paper could still go out and quote Romans 1, as a reason why Gays will be punished, they should realize IT IS THEY THAT HAVE BEEN TURNED OVER TO THE REPROBATE MIND and will recieve their just reward, IGNORANCE AND THE SUFFERING THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT!
Seek God in Truth, Seek God in Spirit, SEEK GOD PEOPLE! The days of God winking at hate and bias are over. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, or get out of the way of those who do!
Peace Jacob

NOAH’S FLOOD
NOAH’S FLOOD
We’ve all heard the story of Noah’s flood. How everyone mocked the man and called him crazy because he was building an ark so big, that it would house two of every unclean animals and seven of even clean. I know a lot of people miss that, but that is exactly what Noah brought into the ark.
Genesis 7
2Of every CLEAN beast thou shalt take to thee by SEVENS, the male and his female: and of beasts that are NOT CLEAN by TWO, the male and his female.
Which by the way is an allegory for those with ears to hear. TWO = Duality, a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Now the SEVEN clean animals, SEVEN is the number of completion. These animals all represent natures inside of mankind. Oh I know, many will say, no, they were LITERAL animals and have NOTHING to do with NATURES in MAN. But you’ll soon see, that scripture is an allegory, and ANIMALS represent natures in man, that God has to deal with.
For example have you ever said, “He’s stubborn as a mule”, or “That person is a work horse!”? Let’s look at what scripture says about the animalistic nature of man.
Ecclesiastes 3:18
I also thought, “AS FOR MEN, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the ANIMALS. 19 Man’s fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath ; MAN HAS NO ADVANTAGE OVER THE ANIMAL.
Now a quick side note as to what and who these “Men” are that we just read about. The men are WHO WE THINK WE ARE, not who we really are. The “MEN” are simply an allegory of the EGO of us all. It is on “evil/foolishness” continually, and within this EGO there is no good thing, but every wicked thing… This is how scripture paints the picture of the ego. But back to my point, scripture is written in a very poetic style. ART, ever since man began to try to declare the higher things of life, has always been used to describe the indescribable. Which is why Jesus states, the Kingdom of Heaven is a MYSTERY and that to those who do not understand this mystery ALL THINGS ARE EXPLAINED IN PARABLE. The story of the Flood is no different. So these animals and creeping things that Noah brought into the arc to save, is actually symbolic of the ideas and natures we pick up from the world and from those around us and allow them to take residence in our heart. Which is why we see the ego of mankind compared to animals, time and time again.
Jeremiah 31:27
“The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will plant the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the offspring of men and of ANIMALS.
Ezekiel 39:17
“Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Call out to every kind of bird and all the wild animals: ‘Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrifice I am preparing for you, the great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood.
The Son of Man is not Tarzan, calling out to the animals. Many human beings caught up and ruled by their EGO are animals nothing more, beasts, and many of these NATURES in man God wants killed off. These are the UNCLEAN NATURES, like greed, pride, hate, lust, etc. etc… These UNCLEAN natures in man, are represented by the many unclean animals that Noah brought on the ARC two by two. I know you have been presented with the romantic telling of the story, where the animals came in as male and female mates… but as I presented earlier, the UNCLEAN animals were brought in by twos, and the CLEAN animals brought in by sevens.
Genesis 7
2Of every CLEAN beast thou shalt take to thee by SEVENS, the male and his female: and of beasts that are NOT CLEAN by TWO, the male and his female.
Consider the many instances where we see animals in the great stories of scripture. Why do you believe this is? We even have sayings like, “don’t let the foxes spoil the vine”. In scripture these “foxes” and other animals have a very profound meaning, when the keys of the allegory in scripture are opened up to you. Why is it that we see Daniel trapped with a bunch of Lions, why is it that we see Samson, David and others battling and destroying Lions or Bears? It is because they represent the natures in man that are hardest to destroy.
The Devil, which is the title of man’s carnal mind, which is the “father of all lies” is described as a LION.
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
This is the LION’S DEN Daniel was thrown in. The Lion’s den we are all thrown in. Get it?
There are other natures in man represented by clean animals, like endurance, love, devotion, etc, that God will not destroy. This is what it means, for ADAM to name all the animals. Adam which means MANKIND AS A WHOLE must recognize the natures within “him”, within the Garden (GOD’S TEMPLE).
So what was this ARK that was built? Some people will argue that this is a literal ark that Noah built, however, I am not going to be one to make that ridiculous argument.
Look people, just because something is written in the bible doesn’t make it literally true. Especially since God only speaks in allegory and opens his mouth in dark saying.
Psalm 78:2
I (God) will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old.
Let’s put aside the fact that are literally billions of species on land, and that it would be impossible to house every creature. Let’s put aside the fact that “supposedly” Noah lived in a land where it NEVER RAINED, which would mean there wouldn’t be much water for people to drink in their life time, would there? Let’s also put aside the fact that this so-called enormous vessel was built but by an old man and some family members that helped, with only the tools available in that day. Logic alone, states you would have to be a very gullible to believe such a tale. But that is what religion does, it brainwashes the common sense right out of you.
Now I’m not saying that there wasn’t some kind of an ark, or some kind of a flood. You see none of that really matters. I am saying the way people are “literally” taught scripture today is foolish at best.
We don’t grow spiritually by believing that this story, or any story in scripture is literal. We ONLY grow by understanding what the STORY MEANS. This is why God only opens his mouth in allegory, why Jesus only spoke to the masses in parable.
Matthew 13:34
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them
The truth is we learn better by understanding the moral of a story, than by believing the story is literal or not.
My novel, “The Calling”, could easily be taken as a thrilling story that literally happened, but it is a fiction, an allegory and if people were to focus on whether the story is literal or not, they would never learn the true message of liberation and redemption hidden just beneath the ink on the paper.
I often bring up the story of the boy who cried wolf. This story we tell our children teaches a person should not lie, because there might be devastating consequences if you do. But does it matter if there was a literal boy, or wolf? Does it matter? NO! It doesn’t matter whether the story literally happened or not, what matters is what is at the heart of the story. You see allegory, parables, or make-believe, whatever you want to call it is a great teaching tool. Which is why God told many of his prophets to use allegory to teach.
Ezekiel 17:2
Son of man, set forth an allegory and tell the house of Israel a parable.
Jesus only spoke in parable to the masses. And for those who do not know what a parable is by now, once again it’s a STORY, not a true story, but an allegorical tale that teaches a spiritual message. Usually Jesus began his parable off with, “there was a certain man”, meaning this is a representation of EVERY MAN AND WOMAN.
Now I know this may come as a surprise to many of you but the truth of the matter is, many of the stories in the Old Testament are allegories and nothing more. Don’t believe me?
Take a look at what Paul said about the “rock” Moses broke to get water. You remember the story. Israel needed to drink water, God said first strike the Rock and water came gushing out. Then God said, simply speak to the Rock for water, but Moses refused to believe, so he did what he did before to get the same result, but because he refused to move into the deeper revelation of what God was teaching him, he wasn’t allowed to bring the people into the land of promise.
Many people are still striking the Rock, as opposed to speaking to it. They won’t move into the greater understanding that there isn’t anything they have to do, to have the WATER (word of God) this rock provides.
Now many people believe this to be a literal story, but look at what Paul says. He goes so far as to say, there was no literal Rock at all, that the Rock is a symbol of Christ. Take a look at the next line of scripture.
1 Corinthians 10:4
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
Now I want to point out two things here. 1) The Rock is CHRIST – 2) The ROCK FOLLOWED THEM!
Now I don’t know what you believe, but here on planet earth, literal rocks don’t follow anyone… So our eyes are opened to the truth, that this whole story in the Old Testament is an ALLEGORY. But that ALSO DOESN’T MEAN that there wasn’t a literal rock that he smote. The point is we shouldn’t get hung up on the LETTER (literal interpretation) of things, which brings death. We need to SEE the spirit of the text.
Galatians 4:24
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
We see even in the story of Isaac (child of promise) and Ishmael (child of works and unbelief), Hagar (The slave) and Sarah (the Bride) and Abraham was also, according to PAUL an ALLEGORY. Now once again, I am not stating these things didn’t literally happen, but I am trying to point out that IT DOESN’T MATTER whether it happened or not. We have to WAKE UP TO THIS or we will continue to STRIKE THE ROCK to get the Water and never enter into the full revelation of CHRIST IN US, AS US.
So, is this going to be an essay that is going to basically try to prove there was no flood, and that there was no Ark, and no billions of animals and creatures on that ark… YES and NO! 🙂 You can believe what you want to believe, and I know all things are possible with God, but I want you to take your eyes off the LETTER (literal interpretation) and see the SPIRIT. It is the SPIRIT of the STORY that GIVES LIFE.
2 Corinthians 3:6
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
This paper is going to show you WHAT THE STORY MEANS! The revelation of a thing is what matters to me. Not whether something is literally true, or happened, or not. That doesn’t better me as a child of God. It doesn’t further my spiritual walk. Just blindly believing in something because some one says it true, doesn’t make it true.
Just because something is written, doesn’t make it true. You’ve heard the expression, “well it’s on the internet, so it must be true.” Well just as I would say you shouldn’t trust everyone who tells you what is what, I would also say, DON’T TRUST THE WORDS I WRITE TOO. For all I know I could be completely wrong, but if I be wrong it is because God hasn’t yet allowed me to see right. You see, you MUST NEVER trust the words of MAN, but you must TESTS THE SPIRITS (WORDS) to see if they be of God or not. Do these words BRING LIFE as the SPIRIT OF CHRIST does, or do these words HINDER AND BURDEN YOU?
Now of course, I don’t believe what I am writing is false or I wouldn’t write it. But the point is, I don’t want anyone to just take what I write as the “word”. I want you to seek God to see whether these things are true or not. God IN you, is ALL THAT MATTERS, God IN YOU is the ONLY ONE WITH TRUTH. And when you grab hold of that understanding, you will stop relying on your understanding and effort and you will wait for God to reveal the “thing” to you. And when you understand that ONLY WITHIN will you ever find salvation, you will be as NOAH, and BUILD THE ARK and GO WITHIN to escape the CARES OF THIS WORLD.
SO LET’S ROCK AND ROLL WITH NOAH NOW!
GENESIS 6
12And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
So iS God looking at the LITERAL EARTH? I think not, the LITERAL EARTH cannot become CORRUPT. only mankind’s understanding can become CORRUPT. So we must SEE that the EARTH written about here, refers to those that don’t know the TRUTH OF GOD. But don’t take my words for it, go to see if there is a witness in scripture of this. And when you do, you will find plenty of evidence in scripture that the EARTH is symbolic of MAN’S WAYS, and HEAVEN symbolic of GOD’S WAYS.
“As the HEAVENS ARE ABOVE THE EARTH, so are MY WAYS ABOVE MANS.”
So the EARTH, was actually the UNBELIEVING CARNAL NATURE AND THOUGHTS OF MAN.
Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the HEATHEN, I will be exalted in the EARTH.
HEATHEN = EARTH = MAN’S THINKING AND WAYS
And we see that FLESH (the carnal thoughts of man) corrupt GODS WAY (his Truth) in MANKIND’S THOUGHTS (THE EARTH). We aren’t talking about LITERAL FLESH on your body, not your SKIN. But the CARNAL MIND which is death.
Romans 8:4-6
4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
FLESH = CARNAL THINKING = DEATH — And this is what GOD is out to destroy. Not literal HUMAN BEINGS, but the CARNAL NATURE OF HUMAN BEINGS, so they can re-member they are CHILDREN OF GOD.
Genesis 6
13And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Here God, WHO IS SPIRIT AND TRUTH, has said he is going to DESTROY THE CARNAL MIND and MAN’S IGNORANT THOUGHTS. This has very little to do with a LITERAL DESTRUCTION OF ALL OF MANKIND. It has more to do with God repenting of what Man had become, and destroying that IGNORANT first state of man, to make way for the SECOND MAN which is CHRIST. THE LAND that had no RAIN (Rain = GOD’S SPIRIT POURED OUT ON ALL FLESH) was about to be WOKE UP, by an ABUNDANCE OF GOD’S TRUTH.
Now for those who have ears to hear it…. God repented he made man the way he did. Have you ever wished you didn’t become the man or woman you became? Have you ever wanted a different life? Have you ever wanted change? Have you ever hated your life and wanted it saved? Have you ever said, “I hate who I have become, I wish I could do it all over again.” — Well if you have, if you have ears to hear it, this is GOD doing the same thing WITHIN YOU.
This is the beginning of a great change in your life. A FLOOD is going to destroy all FLESH (your carnal thoughts) and only the TRUE NATURE of Christ will remain. And this can only happen because, you LIKE NOAH, had to GO WITHIN the ARK (yourself = the kingdom is within). And by going WITHIN the ARK (KINGDOM OF GOD/TEMPLE) you are saved because of it.
By the way, that word ARK, is the same word used for the ARK of the covenant (which holds the spirit of God), and the same ARK used to carry Moses into Egypt. It doesn’t mean HUGE SHIP. It means VESSEL, OR BASKET.
And why did NOAH go into the ARK, within the VESSEL (temple)? – an allegory of how the only way to salvation is to go WITHIN.
Genesis 7
7And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
Noah was SIX HUNDRED years of age when he went into the ARK. Remember 6 is the number of Man. God also said to Noah, in 7 Days he will cause it to RAIN for 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS. More symbolic numbers, 7 is when the creation is finished. 40 weeks is how long it typically takes for childbirth, 40 is symbolic of giving birth.
We see the PREGNANCY parable in the number 40, in many places of scripture. For example, Israel in the wilderness for 40 years before entering the promise Land (Christ). David had to turn 40 before he became KING(Christ). Jesus was tempted and tested for 40 days and nights, before his ministry began (CHRIST) – So we see that 40 days of RAIN, is truly symbolic of the TIME OF TESTING that is poured out on humanity to bring them to their end (the end of our their carnal nature).
During this time of TESTING, NOAH (WHICH symbolizes mankind entering GOD’S REST, as Noah in hebrew means “REST”) ENTER THE ARK, he goes WITHIN to be saved from the FLOOD that has come upon the earth.
Now this FLOOD is meant to purify the earth, a time of testing, which you will see happens to each of us. Look at the many other scriptures that speak of God delivering his people from the FLOOD on the EARTH (man’s thinking/ways).
Psalm 69
1Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
2I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the FLOODS overflow me.
3I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
5O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
We see here, the FLOOD, is actually a symbol of people coming against us, our enemies, and mainly the flood is our FOOLISHNESS… In the psalms we also learn that THE THOUGHT OF FOOLISHNESS IS SIN.
Revelation 12:15
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
Here again the Flood we see, are the LIES poured out by the SERPENT (father of all lies) – The FLOOD is depicting as a FLOOD OF LIES and SIN (FOOLISH THINKING) – Which we can be carried away by, and many times are, so long as we are in the EARTH (CARNAL SOULISH MAN’S THINKING AND WAYS). But we can be free from the FLOOD, if we GO WITHIN and seek GOD AND THE TRUTH OF WHO WE ARE IN HIM.
Luke 6:48
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
Here we are presented with yet another wonderful allegory. Instead of an ARK being BUILT we see here a HOUSE is BUILT upon the FOUNDATION of TRUTH, which cannot be hurt or touched by the FLOOD OF LIES AND CARES OF THIS WORLD.
These are but a few FLOOD PASSAGES. What I am trying to illustrate with them, is that the same EXACT same thing that happened in NOAH’S DAY, happens in OUR DAY. It is the DAY OF THE LORD.
Matthew 24:37-39
37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
You see the FLOOD will always PROCEED the coming of the SON OF MAN. The allegory of the Flood is meant to illustrate to us, that once we go WITHIN and SEEK THE KINGDOM OF GOD, that we will RISE ABOVE THE CARES OF THE WORLD, AND BE SAVED from the very flood of lies and pain that was meant to destroy us.
Genesis 7
17And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
When we go within, and we REST in God, and TRUST that everything is happening according to God’s plan then we will be lifted up above the FLOOD (THE CARES OF THE WORLD, AND THE PROBLEMS that have plagued us).
We will see that every horrible thing that is happening in the world today is happening so people will finally LET GO AND LET GOD take over. THE FLOOD of horrors in the earth are meant to get us all to BUILD OUR ARK (our foundations beliefs and understanding of God) and go within this TEMPLE to be free and saved from it all.
Genesis 7
23And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
Notice EVERY LIVING SUBSTANCE upon the FACE of the GROUND. This is symbolic of every person who was cast down to the lowest of understanding. The carnal man’s thoughts and natures, will be destroyed. The ADAMIC man exists only on the GROUND, because he fell from HEAVEN (UNION WITH GOD) will be destroyed.
Isaiah 14:12
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! – See my article on Lucifer for better understanding about this, Lucifer is ADAM not SATAN.
In any event, we learn from this story that the FLOOD OF THE CARES OF THE WORLD and all the SIN in it will do it’s purpose. It will force people to GO WITHIN, and when they do, every nature in their PERSONAL EARTH that is “on the FACE OF THE GROUND” (every nature that is ignorant and rebellious) will be destroyed from man!
Then after the NEW CREATION CHRIST is birthed (after the 40 weeks of pregnancy) we will be able to come out of the place in the SPIRIT that has kept us safe and we will no longer allow the world to trouble us. We will send out PEACE into the world (symbolized by Noah releasing the Dove). When we come out, the WATERS that once plagued us will recede and we can and will plant a GARDEN in the EARTH (MAN’S WAYS). Then and only then, will the HEAVENS AND THE EARTH become ONE AGAIN.
The truth of God and Man’s thoughts will no longer be separate. The EARTH (our ways) no longer void of understanding, but filled with the TRUTH OF GOD. So much so, we will get DRUNK ON THE FRUIT of it.
Now here is one last REALLY COOL hidden treat for you.
Genesis 8
4And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
7 = once again means completion AND rest. And if you ever wondered why it was the MOUNTAINS OF ARARAT that the ARC rested on… CHECK THIS OUT!
It is first because the MOUNTAIN always symbolizes GOD, a higher place of understanding… and the best part is the word ARARAT in HEBREW means = “the curse reversed” — Now isn’t that something?
Genesis 8
21And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
In closing,
Let sum up the allegory of this story for you. The name NOAH literally means REST! RAIN is a symbol of the TRUTH being revealed… Later Rain, Former Rain etc…
Job 29:23
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
Of course, the RAIN WATER is the WORD of TRUTH, which rains down, from within….
Genesis 8:2
The fountains also of the deep and the windows of HEAVEN were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
We learned earlier that HEAVEN is the WAY of TRUTH… “As the heavens are above the earth, so are “my” ways above carnal man’s”. We also know that the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is within, this is where it RAINS from… HEAVEN of course being, the highest wisdom and place of understanding which leads to peace, power, and righteousness.
Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
That being said, the RAIN (Truth) pours down from the CLOUDS above, which are in HEAVEN.
The CLOUDS, which are an allegory of those who are WITNESSES or MESSENGERS of the truth.
Hebrews 12:1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses
That being said, the ALLEGORY of Noah, begins by telling us, Noah lived in a land where there was NO RAIN. In other words, it means there was NO TRUTH. And we also see the alllegory of what CLOUDS with NO RAIN ARE… They are false prophets, false teachers.
Proverbs 25:14
Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift/false miracles are like clouds and wind without rain.
Jude 1:12
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water
Now let’s bring this summary home…
In the day when REST should ENTER THE ARK (holiest of holies = our heart) there was no TRUTH in the land… This is why there had to be A FLOOD of the TRUTH to destroy all the LIES we all have believed… The FLOOD breaks out from WITHIN… it sets us free…
Job 28:4
The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
The fullness or the LORD – The full understanding of the truth, comes after the flood. The scriptures even state, that…
Psalm 24:1-3
24 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it(fullness of truth) upon the FLOODS.
Whether it is a FLOOD of TRUTH from within, or a flood of truth created by a great cloud of witnesses, or a FLOOD of trials, tribulations, or troubles from those around us to get us to go within and find our salvation from ignorance…
Psalm 18:4
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the FLOODS of ungodly men made me afraid.
It is the FLOOD that in the end helps us all FIND THE REST within and allows us to begin again in paradise.
I hope you enjoyed this essay and that it provoked a flood of your own, that can set you free from the struggle and pain of ignorance. It is the FLOOD of TRUTH that sets us free and destroys every nature that is unclean within us, while preserving the natures that matter most of all.
Peace Jacob

“The Truth Will Change You”
FAITH HEALING?
FAITH HEALING?
“My People Perish for their Lack of Understanding.” Today, so many people are being taken advantage of by greedy men and women who claim to have the power of God. The internet has been flooded recently with all of these “revival” claims, minister after minister stating that people are being healed in their services. They claim the blind, deaf, lame, diseased, and even the dead are brought back to perfect health at their “churches” or “crusades”. But the days of these Charlatans are coming to an end. People will see that they are empty, vain, fear mongering, biased, prejudice, thieves that care very little for your TRUE HEALING, which is the Healing of the Heart. Watching so many people fall victim to the lies of these so-called profits has truly saddened me. This video is not to claim that miracles do not exist. I myself know God can heal, but I also know that illness has a part to play in our salvation as well. Faith comes by hearing, not by sight. God cares more for the healing of the inward man (Christ/You) then he does for the outward man (the Flesh/Carnal body). Being miraculously healed does not save you, knowing the TRUTH, which is CHRIST, which your is your LIFE does. Please test the spirits (words) to see if they are of God or not, if the focus is on the OUTWARD MAN then it is not the TRUTH. If the focus is on the INWARD MAN, and the works of the Spirit, and love, then you know Christ IS COME (revealed) in the Flesh.
DAY OF THE LORD IS HERE
THE DAY OF THE LORD IS HERE
You don’t have to be an economics or psychology expert to know times are tougher now on families than ever before. Domestic violence, child abuse, marriages are in trouble, and as always there are many wars. Alcoholism and drug addiction is on the rise. These are difficult days for you and I. But they don’t have to be that way. Read on and you’ll see, there is a truth about who you are that can, and will set you free and it won’t cost you anything but losing the very chains keeping you from being who God has made you to be.
Galatians 4:19
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you
While the liars and false profits of the land, with your money in their hands, tell you give more, do more, read their book, help park the cars, cut the grass, volunteer with daycare, and help people find their chairs. They are getting richer and richer, having affairs, and robbing you blind with the slightest care. People need to realize they shouldn’t be working, singing, dancing, directing, or working for free. The Pastor will tell them, we need volunteers, and that God will see this effort and make their conscience clear. But when it comes to your Pastors, their bankaccounts are full of your money and their tax exempt status keeps them in the green, while were broke with IRS fears.
But the times are changing, people’s beliefs are rearranging, they are no longer laying every nickel on the line. They are losing faith because when they need help, these big name pastors never have the time. They are getting fed up with every scandal that breaks, yet some still hang on, because they have been so brainwashed they still allow these lying, perverted, thieves to take and take and take. However, for those that leave because they are tired of being promised peace and finding none. The fancy twisting of scripture and all their empty promises and manipulation is no longer enough for them to continue to come.
1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
And for those who say, “my Religious leader” isn’t that way. Go to his face and tell him you no longer want to pay.
You see, if you only knew what God wanted from you. You’d stop your works, stop your worrying, and stop doing what religious wolves tell you to do. God doesn’t want you to go to man to find God’s truth. He begged Israel to do the same, but they refuse to go to that mountain, they said “Hey Moses” you go talk to God today and then come back and tell us what God did say. And that didn’t make God to happy at all. This is why they began to rely on a ridiculous man made law, which only made them fall all the more.
You see God wants to be your king, but you believe you need to go to “church” sit down, kneel, pray, tithe, and sing. So like foolish Israel you do the same, the Prophet comes to you and say Let God Be Your Only King but you say no, let a Man or Woman rule over us, and all our treasure to them we will bring. The Prophet gets sad, and thinks that’s too bad, but God reminds Samuel what they lost and what they will now have. This is the reason in religion you are all suffering and things are so bad. Your Preacher, you should call Saul, the King of your fall, the wolf will will rule and has ruled and ruined you all.
1 Samuel 8: 11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
(All you congregants you are the same. You give King Saul Religion your sons and daughters and their inheritance he will soon claim)
12And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
(Religion has produced preachers, Imans, Bishops, Priests, Pastors, Evangelist, Rabbi’s and more, and I don’t have to remind you of history how each of these religions kill in the name of their god and send all of our children to war)
13And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
(Got to love those bake sales and yard sales, and preservice treats, the coffee stands, the bookstores, where all the women of faith work and meet.)
14And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
(The Religious Kings take, take, take, and those that kiss their ring make, make, make)
15And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. 16And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. 17He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
(Isn’t this what I was saying all along, how serving these liars and thieves is not where you belong. All they want it that TENTH of all you have, if you don’t give it to them, well they will call you evil and bad. Soon you’ll be wishing you didn’t ask for King Saul instead of just asking for DAD!)
18And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
Revival they cry, what a joke. It’s like those other religious leaders pretending to get high and drunk on Holy ghost drink and smoke. There are so much madness and folly, I wonder why more aren’t saying, I’m outta here so sorry!
Revival, that’s the new word of the day. And the fat cats contiue with the same grand ear itching words they saw, playing the same old songs they place, but it’s all the same old side show, just presented in a different way. Whether it is gold dust appearing, oil, healing, or smoke from a fog machine the lying fat cats placed below. God is tired, you greedy profits soon you’ll find yourself fired, and then you congregants your Father God you will know!
My children perish from their lack of understanding, God says. Yet, these Revival liars put all their focus on the miraculous things they say they do, and NONE OF IT IS TRUE!
So this new “revival” thing is what these religous wolves have begun. And the word, you’ve heard, the one they use is absolutely absurd. REVIVAL? REVIVAL they cry. “Look at this young boy I healed his blind eyes”, or this old woman with a cane, watch her hobble around with a fake smile hiding her excrutiating pain, “She’s healed, she healed!” the liars scream. And the old woman in pain goes along because the wolf has her convinced she should go along and praise God for the miracle he’s done. Even though when these so-called “healed ones” are alone, they feel dirty for lying to make their pastor look good. They still have their cancer, some even die because their medicine they refuse thinking at that service God gave them an answer.
These so called congregants that the liars say they healed, like old hobbling women whose purse the wolves love to steal, should have grabbed her cane and stood. Saying, I am no longer playing, I want the truth and nothing more. Take your hocus pocus nonsence, and you can keep your people writhing and shaking on the floor, you’ve taught them to act the fool and they’ve become a bunch of tools, believing God wants them to laugh hysterically, shake and quake as if their baked. It’s all witchcraft and nothing more.
1 Samuel 15:23
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry
This you might find interesting, while the liars of the land are praying and shouting REVIVAL in the land, like many of the others lies they teach, eternal torture, trinity, rapture, tithing, and foreign speech. The word Revival isn’t even found in the bible. Not in one translation at all. So what in their “hell” are they praying for?
They can pray all they want, but if it isn’t in God’s will, all you’ll get from these wolves and liars are cheap thrills. They are bucket dippers, your bucket will never be filled. Empty clouds, twice dead, ravenous creatures, with nothing but dreams building “their” kingdom larger in their head. And they’ll do anything, say anything, promise anything, to get what they want. So let me post this is BOLD FACED FONT.
These Religious Leaders have one thing on their mind and money is their bottom line. That want to line their pockets and continue to live in the very lap of luxury your hard earned dollars have provided them with..
Revival what a joke? The word REVIVE means to MAKE ALIVE, and yet their words are the very words on which their congregants choke. You’re dead in your trespasses, this you should know, if you still to religious church you go. God needs you to flee, for Babylon is being ripped away from you and me.
There is coming a time when people will turn away from this. They won’t just get angry, they will be downright pissed. And why shouldn’t they be. They’ve been brainwashed since they were three. Fear was used to keep them in line, and when that didn’t work it was the seeds of greed the wolves planted inside so they’d keep in their seats their ignorant behinds.
These promises state if you give all they can give, YOU God will appreciate. If they can sow their seed, God will fill their every need. Yet God never wanted anyone’s money. Isn’t that funny. So, I pray people will say, forget your altar of baal, I have credit cards to pay.
Hosea 6:6
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings
Look I am not here to tear down but to build. And soon you’ll be filled. But like Paul, a storm will come and it won’t be fun, but this will show you what must be done. First you have to get rid off every lieyou’ve believed weighing you down. Then your vessel will make it into the kingdom and no one will drown. Because there is a greater truth coming to town. You may not hear it tomorrow, next week, next month, but I promise soon this truth will be found.
You will know life eternal, which is to know who you are, why you were sent and by whom. You will wake up and shake off those grave clothes like Lazarus when he was risen from the tomb. And people will be there to help if need be. My greatest desire is to see everyone put aside their belief in hell fire, and know that God is in control of you and me.
This is all anyone needs to know. It will come with a cost that is true, but I have a secret to tell you. You may feel like a slave, beat down, hurt, alone, and more I could say, but you are much more and this TRUTH I am sharing, when you grab hold of it, you will know what it means to be saved.
Galatians 4:7
So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.
When you wake up and understand you don’t need these religious leaders, or be apart of their foolish miracle healing crusades, you will see, as I see, that you are God’s child. You were sold into this religious bondage but Adam you don’t need to cover yourself in fig leaves and hide, so from these religious traditions and liars you must come out from behind.
Hebrews 10: 6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God
You have been told that the book was written about a man named Jesus, but I say that Jesus is YOU. God only had ONE SON this is true, and that is all of humanity, me and you. But the first state of man is ignorant of who they are, because we left a country of truth and entered a religious country that is far.
In the dust of lies, experiences, and brainwashing this first ignorant man, we’ll call him Adam, was formed. Working your way to God is what this first ignorant man and woman thought was the norm. But they forgot who they were, the image of God that’s for sure, but they began to believe that had to eat religious nonsence to be what they were already created to be. God’s son, but I like to say child, there is no male or female whether walking in Christ shows an inch or a mile.
But when Christ, the Truth of who you are, wakes up and returns from a country that’s far. The religious leaders will kill Him before, the wolves do not want the children to know who they truly are.
Killed by the RELIGIOUS, that’s right, that’s what it means to be crusified with Christ. We believed the lies of who were thought we were. Then we believed those who said our father was vengeful, hateful God. A god we needed to please by sacraficing our money and our time, but this is the Religious leaders crime, the murder of the CHRIST IN YOU and yet this all was but a sign. You think Jesus is the only one to cried, “Father why have you forsaken me” this day? You see, the Religious monsters took us away, manipulated us, lied to us, and held us in ignorant chains, drove nails into our hands (works) and feet (walk) and pressed a crown of thorns (cares of the world and church) into our head, this is why most religious people are dead.
For those who know, for those who show, the truth as a bright light shining on top a large hill. The days of ignorance and pain and suffering is gone, and now the mystery is revealed. They have died to who they thought they were, they have given up control, because now they know, that it pleased God to bruise us to eventually use us to free his children and throw the wolves under the bus. And so we have, or will, learn obediance by what we suffer, but it is only because we chose evil King Saul instead of our Father. But really that’s always been part of the plan, but I don’t think myself or anyone is ready for that to understand.
But if tou want freedom, if you want peace, if you want to know all is well. Then you must leave your religious denominations and leaders and escape the pits of their ignorant hell. The only way to do this, is to confess Christ as Lord. That means Christ is not far away, Christ is in you, and this is what walking in the valley of the shadow of death was for. To have the clouds open up and hear, “Behold my beloved son, in whom I’m well pleased” in whom I love and hold dear.
And if a SON, which is symbolic of EVERYONE REVIVED from the DEATH (IGNORANCE) of religion and the world, then a SAVIOR to others who will help them find the Kingdom, as one who finds a precious pearl. Yes you will suffer, you will lose friends, home, family, and money, and I know that’s not funny, but part of the plan. You must be stripped from everything you thought God’s promises were in. Then when you are naked, starved, beaten, hanging on your cross, you will say as Paul said, It was all dung and I consider nothing lost. You will say as Christ said, “Into your hands I commit my spirit.” And then you will be born again, ressurected in the world no longer a slave to sin. But now a creator who knows the power of his thoughts and words. No longer judging others, but doing unto them as you would want them to do unto you. No longer putting your faith in negative things, but things and thoughts that are good and true. You’ll take every though captive because you will learn it is it your thoughts that create, whether you can hear this or not, this news to you should be great! Everything was made by the SON, for the SON, and without the SON nothing was made that is made.
For those who have ears to hear. When you and the Father are one, that’s when life becomes fun. He gives you the desires of your heart, and you no longer allow your negative “satanic” thoughts to tear your heart and desires apart. You only do what your Father tells you to do, because you and your father are one. And if one, then no longer two, no longer lost, easily manipulated, or listeing to the ignorant fools who tell you what to do.
This is what the creation has been groaning for, and guess what people, that time is here and more. So run from your religious task masters and pray these words I have written on you have not been lost. Pray out loud,”FATHER TEACH ME THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT THE COST!” then know the incredible potential that is within you and no longer fear. Because let me be a herald and let me be clear.
THE DAY OF THE LORD IS HERE!
GREAT EVIL KING RELIGION
GREAT EVIL KING RELIGION
&
The Profits of Baal
Ecclesiastes 9 14There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: 15Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. 16Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. 17The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
There are FEW who are that “little CITY” and indeed there are FEW in this CITY, which is the LIGHT set upon a Hill. We are that Light that cannot be hid.
Matthew 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid
But then there came a GREAT KING against this CITY (Christ in us) and besieged it. This Great King called Religion has made slaves, prostitutes, murderers, thieves, and adulterers of us all, allegorically of course. You see first we become these terrible beasts, and then in the natural world these terrible beasts (murders, pedofiles, rapists, prostitues, adulterors, etc) appear. Every evil we see in the natural is a direct result of a spiritual evil in the heart of man.
Let show you some of the evil I have seen under the son… One we all know well, CARNAL RELIGIOUS LEADERS turn the Truth of God, the Word of God, which is the SEED that we are too sow into the world (hearts of men) into MONEY, and they have said, follow after Money, Sow your Money, Make more money. That it is God’s will for you to be in perfect health, and perfectly wealthy, and that God wants YOU to prove to HIM that you are serious about your faith by the size of HOW MUCH MONEY YOU GIVE help build, what they (the great evil kings) call the Kingdom of God, which is nothing more than a fools house of cards which will come crumbling down. You are only building a wicked man’s kingdom, the Kingdom of God is righteousness, faith, joy, and power in his spirit which costs nothing but your submission to God.
However, the Great Evil King religion, has convinced men and women to literally and spirituall kill others, to kill themselves, to convince others to do the same. To torture, to war, to death, this is what the great evil kings of religion are fighting for. Total domination and control of YOU! You are all slaves, you go to church and feel better about yourself by going and giving because you were told this pleases God, yet it is the very thing that disgusts God the most.
You have become dried up bones, there is no LIFE (TRUTH) in you, because the GREAT EVIL KING RELIGION has sucked you all dry, financially, emotionally, spiritually, with their candy coated lies, and when you lose your family, divorce, become broke, and your loved ones die even though the Great Evil Kings said they would be healed with enough faith, you ignorantly will return. “Thank you Sir or Man, may I have another.”
But there is found in this “little city” a “poor man” who will deliver this city, but no one will remember his name, for the name of God is what all a man needs to know. You see, as Solomon said, the words of the Wise are heard in quiet (deep meditation and sincere seeking) MORE than of him (the great evil kings) that rules among fools.
Jeremiah 23:14
I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
You don’t have to go far to find an altar of Baal today, they are on almost every street corner. There are so-called fig trees all around, and yet NONE PRODUCE FRUIT.
PEOPLE are HUNGRY TODAY, the CHRIST in them is screaming, FEED ME TRUTH… And as that SPIRIT OF CHRIST drives us toward JERUSALEM (which means the teaching of peace) we, who are now awake, as it is the dawning of a new day, will see these Fig Trees have no fruit at all and we will CURSE THEM. We will say, these man made temples, churches, mosques, kingdom halls, and more will NEVER PRODUCE FRUIT FOR US AGAIN… And we too will see it wither away before our eyes. As I have seen over these last ten years of my life.
Mark 11:21
And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
There are so many things wrong with the Great Evil King Religion, that I couldn’t possibly name them all and address them all in one essay, but I will say, a great LIGHT is shining for those who have eyes to see it, a great LIGHT for those who are bold enough to open the blinds to feel it. And this LIGHT is truth, and this TRUTH is Word of God, and this God is LOVE.
Luke 10:27
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.–
This do, the man Jesus said, and you will LIVE! Now some will question who is your neighbor, well your neighbor are those that have been robbed, stripped and beaten by THIEVES, and the THIEVES are those who try and enter the KINGDOM ANY OTHER WAY but the STRAIGHT GATE, which is LOVE, WHICH IS TRUTH, WHICH IS CHRIST. The THIEVES are all of these RELIGIOUS LEADERS you are putting your faith in!
GOD WANTS ALL OF YOU TO GO TO THE MOUNTAIN, and see God FACE TO FACE. But like Israel, you refuse, you’re like “Nah Moses, you go up there, if we go there we will surely die… you come back down and tell us what to do.” CARNAL MAN wants to be ruled by MAN, and what did Moses and his law produce DEATH!
Exudos 20
18And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. 19And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
People don’t want to DIE TO THE ILLUSION that they are in control. They would rather worship and serve the CREATURE “MOSES” or the Man “JESUS” INSTEAD OF THE CREATOR.
Now LISTEN, you want to know the truth? You want freedom? Well, there is but ONE WAY in, LOVING ALL, and UNDERSTANDING God is IN CONTROL.
We need to enter this rest, HIS REST. We have to cease for our works, our belief that we must do this or that, and most importantly our belief that “we” are actually in control, and have free will. This lie is the reason people suffer the way they do today. You are wrangled by the Great Evil King Religion into believing “Your dead in your many sins, and you MUST DO SOMETHING to be saved, say something, do this, do that.” Yet, the sad thing is, while millions take the bait, hook, line and sinker, they don’t realize they are eating of the very Tree that causes them the DEATH (Ignorance) they suffer from. The Great King Religion is the Great Satan, it is the Key Master who lures you in the gates of Hell (Your suffering, lack of faith, and ignorance) with the promise of riches, salvation, and peace IF ONLY YOU DO SOMETHING! It’s up to you, The Great Evil King says, Because GOD’S ARM IS SHORTENED AND CANNOT SAVE! God needs YOU, religion says…. What a crock!
Hebrews 3
18And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 19So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.–
Everyone has been told they are in control, and so they become the ANTI-CHRIST sitting on God’s throne (Your mind and heart) saying I am John, Grace, Helen, Bob, etc, and I am the master of my destiny, I make the choices, I call the shots. But with all your hard work, and all your FREE WILL thinking, you still feel empty, you are tired, you feel like a failure, and can’t find the peace, you have hang ups, insecurities, need counseling, drugs, alcohol, your relationship fall apart, you feel lost and alone. So what does the The Great Evil King Religion tell you, “You’re not doing enough, giving enough, or believing enough.”
But the ONLY WAY TO KNOW PEACE is to know GOD IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE. Your ups, your downs, your decisions, your mistakes, your EVERYTHING! This truth sets your free, not the empty promises of perverse idol worshipping greedy men and women.
Matthew 10 29Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Now when you learn that everything else is VANITY, that your work, your effort, your belief, your church attendance, your giving, your this, or that, that you did with the belief if you GIVE IT SHALL BE GIVEN, RUNNING OVER… MEANS NOTHING! When you understand it is all VANITY! When you finally let Go and let God, then you overcome. When you DIE TO YOUR SELF EFFORT AND VAIN BELIEFS, then you OVERCOME and BECOME the Christ, the ANNOINTED ONE! – This is what ISRAEL did not want to do, they didn’t want to DIE to their egotistical lives. They had been tricked into believing their works were actually pleasing to God, as to realizing they are an abomination in his site.
When you hear your Religious Leaders shouting about all of their SALVATIONS, HEALINGS, AND GREAT TESTIMONIES, AND PEOPLE THEY SET FREE… They are bragging about what they did, while pretending to say God did it through them. They say, of “we” are just the vessel, so send in your love gift and the annointing of God will flow through me to this prayer cloth and we will send it to you, and you lay it on your sick loved one and with enough faith, they will be healed. HOGWASH! They should be ashamed of themselves, But God is IN Control of even that! You see we are ALL ONE and one day, we will ALL COME TO THE UNDERSTANDING AND THE STATURE OF THE PERFECT MAN.
Ephesians 4:13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Ephesians 4:4
There is ONE body (humanity), and ONE Spirit (God), even as ye are called in ONE hope of your calling (To realize who you are, CHRIST)
When you understand you are God’s child, and you say, “Not My Will, but Your’s Father be done” when you understand, it’s not about You, but the SPIRIT THAT IS WITHIN YOU. When you say, “I can DO NOTHING OF MYSELF” and grab hold of the fact that YOUR LIFE IS NOT YOUR OWN, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID IN CHRIST, then CHRIST will no longer be HID, AND that little CITY WILL SHINE BRIGHT FOR ALL TO SEE!
The Great Evil King Religion, has given birth to hundreds of thousands of lying profits, imans, pastors, priests, evangelists, rabbi’s, and new age teachers, all saying “Do what I say and you will be okay.” But they are all LIARS, and GOD has turned them all over to the REPROBATE MIND, and the more they believe the lies they teach the more arrogant, prideful, and pitiful they become. But one by one, these domino’s will fall, the question is what will that mean to you?
You’ll hear many Religious Leaders say, “The Lord told me”, “God spoke to me clearly”, “God said ten people are going to send in one thousand dollars tonight” … etc… Yet, every true prophet from scripture never heard clearly, never trusted what they heard, and everyone, EVERYONE WAS FORCED TO DO GOD’S WILL… jonah, moses, joseph, even Jesus wanted the cup to pass. – But these GREAT EVIL KINGS OF RELIGION say they have a main line from God, and hear him clearly. Well guess what, only in Babylon would someone not be declared insane. I don’t HEAR GOD, I get revelation (which means, certain things I didn’t understand before open up to me and now I understand them), and then of course I pray it is correct.
kings of Religion are addicted to control. They get off on their control, telling you when to fast as a congregation, what to give, how much to give, what to eat, how to dress, how to act, never to question their authority, and recently they are now commands couples on when to have sex, and how many times…. This is the plague we see in Egypt. Those Religious Frogs have gotten into your bedroom, kitchen, living quaters, every aspect of your life, you have allowed the ENEMY OF GOD to steal and rob from you. You live in constant Fear of a God who LOVES. But that is all about to change.
All I know, is what I know, if it is the truth, than it is the Grace of God and of myself I’ve done nothing. If it is not truth, then God has allowed me to believe such, and it is once again by the grace of God and I cannot write anything but what I have written and there is a purpose. Which means, God is in control of the TRUTH spoken and the LIES spoken.
You see there is great freedom knowing you are not in control of your life. Now this doesn’t mean you aren’t always striving to do right, you are. It doesn’t mean you aren’t always looking to help others, better yourself as a child of God, you do. But you understand YOU aren’t doing the work, God is GIVING YOU THE DESIRES of your heart. It is your greatest desire to be close to your Father, this is why you prayed “Not my will, not what I believe, teach me the truth no matter what the cost, Lord teach me, Father use me.”
This is submission, but that does not mean it is giving up, in fact you do more, seek more, reach higher, bow lower, but YOU DON’T HAVE A CHOICE, and you understand that. So when the storms of life come, you KNOW IT IS FOR YOUR GOOD, BECAUSE YOU LOVE!
Six months ago I lost my cool and had it out with my Mother N Law, God bless her. Because after this big fight, we decided to sell our house, and we ended up in my wife’s dream house, 3 times bigger, less of a mortgage payment, an apartment to rent if we wish, a pool, and because of issues with permits, we have lived here since June 15, and our rent is one dollar a day, until we close, and my ashtma is gone. Now had I not gotten all carnal and had such a terrible blow out, with a woman I now love, than I wouldn’t be writing this to you from my new office. God instigated this argument, he set the stage, he sent the tormenting spirit (as he did with King Saul) and got me to do exactly what I needed to do, so he could Bless us as our family has grown in him. But like a fool, I beat myself up for months about losing my temper, but now I have seen, if I never did this, I would have problem breathing, in a shotty small house, instead of a huge brand new blessing of a home, FOR LESS MONEY.
The Wise person knows that in every hard and bad time there is a greater blessing because of it. Where would the flowers be without the manure, the pearl without the suffering of the oyster, the diamond without all that pressure?
So why should I get upset when I see so many Profits of baal in the land, tormenting God’s children, imprisoning them with lies, and fairy tales, making them fools by claiming miraculous healings, and miraculous wealth… Those that continue to build the wall higher and higher until all people can see and know Babylon’s folly, is surely also part of God’s plan. The bigger the bully the bigger their fall. And the GREAT EVIL KING RELIGION will fall. Because God is in control of it all. And God RAISED THE BULLY UP as he did Pharoah.
Romans 9:17
For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
So the question is, if God is hardening the Great Evil Religious Kings of the world, and putting lies in their mouths, where is the proof, why, and what is the point?
1 Kings 22
20And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. 21And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.
You see AHAB was a false prophet, he was the SON of OMRI (which means in Hebrew, “God’s pupil”) – Now OMNRI may mean “Pupil of God”, like many of the “religious leaders” claim to be out there, but Omri, like many others who do evil in the sight of the Lord, are meant to be much more than simply pupils of God.
We are GOD’S CHILDREN… You can study, and quote scripture until the cows come home, but if you have not LOVE and the TRUTH, it would be better if you had not studied at all, than to give birth to an “AHAB”… Which is exactly what is ruling the land today.
AHAB, a lying king, married to Jezebel and we all know (that Religious spirit) only wants to kill the Truth of God. So how does God handle such false teachers, like AHAB? By getting them to FURTHER BELIEVE that the LIES THEY TEACH will bring them VICTORY, when in fact, it will be their destruction. Which is a good thing, because a man must first die to himself and the LIES he believes before he is born again.
So when I see those out there teaching lies, robbing their congregants with candy coated poisonous words, I know that God is yet in control of this as well. He needs to brings the liars or the land to their knees and there is no better way to do this, than to make them believe that they can do whatever they want, and that God is not watching. (And just WHO do you think filled their heads with this belief?) – Well read the next passage and you tell me.
22And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a LYING SPIRIT IN THE MOUTH OF ALL AHAB’S PROPHETS. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. 23Now therefore, behold, the LORD HATH PUT A LYING SPIRIT IN THE MOUTH OF ALL THESE THY PROPHETS…–
You see, God is the one that has PUTS THE LIES in the Mouths of these False Profits. Now why would God do such a thing?
It is to BRING AN END TO THE LIES we have believed, so People can finally be set at liberty and may know the truth. It’s sort of like that old story you heard about a child who was caught smoking a cigarette, his father gives him a whole pack and sends him to his room and says he can’t leave till he smokes the whole pack. The kid got so sick from those cigarettes, he never touched them again.
There is going to come a point in the congregation’s lives, when they too will become sick of all the lies they have been force fed and swallowed over the years. They will grow tired of hearing about scandal after scandal, seeing no change in their life and in their heart, having no hope, and now broke, and they will finally turn to God and say, “God I don’t know what to believe, who to believe, and what is true?”
AND THAT’S WHEN THE TRUTH WILL BE REVEALED TO THEM! The instant people stop going to Man to know God, but go to God to know God, they will find the Truth and the Freedom they so desperately crave.
24But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee? 25And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an INNER CHAMBER to hide thyself. –
When we GO WITHIN, (the kingdom/reign/rule/truth of God is within) – That is when you SEE (Understand) where THE SPIRIT of the LORD WENT… It never went anywhere, it is we, the CARNAL SOUL in the BODY that went to a far country and forgot who we were and where our home was… Micaiah understood this, before the liars of the land knew this, but he also knew eventually they would GO WITHIN, even if it was to Hide Themselves from the devastation to come.
So to briefly address why I decided to go off facebook and end my radio program for a time, it was because I truly have no choice in the matter. I was tired of seeing so many people being so misled, I was becoming sickened by the hypocrisy from the pulpit, I was saddened by those who I KNOW would benefit from understanding the TRUTH.
SEVEN GREAT TRUTHS
1) God is LOVE 2) God has a plan 3) God is in control 4) God cannot fail 5) You cannot fail because God will not fail 6) You will overcome, because God has created you to live the life you are living and you will reap what you sow and will learn to submit yourselves to the truth 7) God will bring you into his rest by frustrating you with your vain self effort and imaginings that will never comfort you.
THERE IS SUCH GREAT HOPE! WE CAN’T LOSE, EVEN THE GREAT EVIL RELIGIOUS KINGS WILL RETURN
Romans 8:38-39 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.–
This is OUR HOPE! Nothing, and I mean NOTHING shall separate us from the LOVE OF GOD, which is in CHRIST, which is OUR LIFE! This is what everyone needs to grab hold of. YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL! You don’t accomplish anything or destroy anything. You are not who you THINK YOU ARE.
1 Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN?–
For years I have been trying to share this with others. This is the hidden meaning of my novel, it is the very core of everything I write, it is my very reason to live, my passion, my heart, MY DESIRE, which is not my own. So for awhile I did the best I could to share this. I wanted to inspire, to encourage, to share what I had learned, that everything was according to plan and that we should not fear, anything, but reverence God, and seek Love in all we do. This is why I began my radio show, my facebook, my blog, to spread this and to get my Novel out there, which I believed with all my heart, was a key to the kingdom. I believed, and still believe, my Fiction, would help many to question who have never questioned, and help those to see who have questioned and haven’t seen before.
This was and is my hope. Because I believed, and still believe this is what was written, and that I was, as the lead character in my novel was, a VOICE IN THE DEAD WOODS. I wanted to be a FIG TREE with FRUIT. And so each day I prayed and woke to help inspire or encourage anyone who would read my posts, entertain and get to question anyone who would hear my programs, test and try any who would watch my youtube videos, and wake up anyone who would buy my novel… But yesterday, it all seemed like such vanity to me.
I was tired of seeing so many perverse men and women making bold claims, that I knew without a shadow of a doubt were not true. My heart broke every time someone would say I had no faith, and that I somehow was quenching the SPIRIT OF GOD. As if this is possible. I don’t know about you, but I don’t need to have a literally blind person healed to know God and to have Faith. We are to put our faith in the UNSEEN, but the whole world is sensual and want miracles and show, and want natural things that they can naturally wraps their mind around.
Because….
1 Corinthians 2:14
The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Watch what we are to put our faith in.
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
And without FAITH (in the UNSEEN) it is impossible to please God.
Read the Faith chapter, each great man and woman of God DID NOT SEE A NATURAL THING, they didn’t look for the promises, they didn’t need to, they had faith that God was true and man was a liar.
And those lost tribes of Israel, are lost to the temporal natural carnal world, led by carnal men, more concerned with gaining wealth or losing it, than with what GOD TRULY WANTS OF THEM. submission
So I decided to leave facebook, the radio, at least for a time, because they had not tasted what I had tasted, they weren’t where I was, they hadn’t understood what I understood, that NO ONE IS BETTER THAN ANOTHER, and there was NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT IT! So, I would walk away.
“I AM NOT A NAME I AM GOD’S CHILD!”
So, I shut down my facebook and would no longer do my radio program, until I felt it was right again, if it ever was wrong, it was God that made it so. For those who say this is a mistake, I say, there are no mistakes with God. Now here is the MAIN REASON I decided to take myself out of the equation. People were beginning to think HIGHER OF ME than they should. People were turning to me for answers, and I DON’T HAVE THE ANSWERS, GOD DOES. And every single one of us, Has God WITHIN, waiting to give us every answer to every question. But many are looking to me, AND OTHERS, as if WE have what they have not.
John 16 5-13
But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?–
No one has asked where I am going, but why I am going. That’s the wrong question people.
6But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. 7Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. –
I received so many sorrow filled emails, people feeling like there was something wrong, like I had been attacked or torn down, but I had no choice in the matter, and it wasn’t until writing this letter that I realized why I was leaving for a time, it was so YOU ALL COULD FIND THE TRUTH WITHIN YOU, WITHOUT NEEDING ANOTHER LIKE ME TO TELL YOU.
If all those who claim to know the TRUTH leave, than those who worry they don’t have the TRUTH will find the TRUTH has never left them nor forsaken them. PEOPLE, YOU DON’T NEED THE EVIL KINGS OF RELIGION because the Poor Man with wisdom will save you from their whiley ways, and he will not want credit for doing do. You need only simply knock and the door will be opened, seek and you will find.
12I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come(REVEALED IN YOU), he (CHRIST) will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.–
I have done all I can for now, I am not a police man for God, pointing out the flaws of the liars of the land. I am not a RELIGIOUS KING that people should turn to for advice and prayer. I need to go away, so they see that GOD is IN THEM, and THEY are in God, and we are all ONE!
John 17:21
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.–
The reason why people believe in the lies of these false religious teachers and profits today, is because they want NOW MORE THAN EVER to have an experience of God. They are hurting, and they want answers, they want freedom, but they are following their itching ears. They are looking for the answers OUTSIDE of themselves. They are looking to the natural as the spirit, and forbidding the spirit for the lies of the natural man. This is why we find people claiming miracle healing, miraculous tongues, resurrection of the flesh, and other phenomenon, when NONE OF IT IS TRUE!
They have been taught these things are true by liars, and so the lie became the truth and the truth became the lie, and I find myself wishing things were different.
Romans 1:25
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.–
So God did to them, what he did to Profits of AHAB, he turned them over to the REPROBATE MIND. (And no, this has NOTHING to do with homosexuality, that is another LIE of MAN)
Romans 1:21,22
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. –
And remember the FOOL in his heart, says THERE IS NO GOD. These religious leaders today, driving their fancy cars, boasting miraculous shows, dressed in thousand dollar suits, taking the money from the poor and the hungry, DON’T TRULY BELIEVE IN GOD. If they did, they would not do what they do, act the way they act, or live the way they live. They would be transparent and not care what others will think and say. IT IS TRUTH THAT SETS PEOPLE FREE, not the FACADE OF TRUTH. The NAKED EXPOSED UGLY TRUTH is one hundred fold better then a handsome well dressed lie!
So God gave them over to their VILE AFFECTIONS (LIES) as he did with AHAB’S PROFITS. But I know that I am not the one that needs to correct them. These Profits of Baal can gather together, cut themselves with stones, scream, shake, quake, jump up and down scream and shout, and the lord will not take their sacrifice.
1 Kings 18
21And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? If the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.–
WHO ARE YOU GOING TO SERVE? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND? HOW LONG LORD WILL THEY SUFFER BEFORE THEY ENTER IN? So I leave this challenge to all the Profits of Baal in the land, as Elijah did before me.
1 Kings 18 25And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under. 26And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. 27And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 28And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. 29And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded. 30And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down–
The Profits had no power, when in the presence of the Man of God. They looked as fools. And when the PEOPLE realized they had been duped by these money hungry witches with all their signs and wonders crusades and visions of hell, heaven, allah, jesus, and joseph smith… I stand here saying, WHERE IS YOUR GODS when you call on them? Why is not your SACRAFICE accepted? Why are the people in bondage and have no hope?
Then they will see the TRUTH, and grab hold of the HOPE OF GLORY, CHRIST IN THEM, not far from them, not coming soon, but WITHIN THEM. And I travail until Christ be formed in the Body, and when the BODY WAKES OUT OF THE SLUMBER these liars have caused, they will KILL THESE PROFITS (Meaning they will no longer go to their churches) – And BABYLON WILL FALL, and is FALLEN ALREADY. Then they, like I, will REPAIR the ALTAR OF THE LORD which was broken down by their greed and insecure need for control and power, and the altar will be repaired… OUR HEART!
So,l eave your mega churches, keep your money, pay your bills, and turn within. Stop your works, see the truth, BE ONE AS WE ARE ONE, AS I AM ONE WITH THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER IS ONE WITH ME, I IN YOU, YOU IN ME, AND WE IN GOD, FOR GOD IS ALL IN ALL and in control of all, setting the stage for THE GREAT EVIL KING RELIGION TO FALL!
If you feel led, send this to as many as you can. One can set a thousand to flight!

“The Truth Will Change You”
WHO WILL STAND UP FOR THIS GENERATION?
Lately what I have seen in many religious circles has been weighing heavy on my heart. So I just spoke about that, I pray it doesn’t offend anyone, instead I pray it opens their eyes to a great truth that can set them free,. Enjoy Jacob
JACOB’S LADDER REVEALED
JACOB’S LADDER
So you would think, by naming my blog “Jacob’s Ladder” that I would actually have a paper written on the ladder. Well, in brief, I named this blog Jacob’s ladder because these essays were written after I had gone up (had revelation/understanding) of certain things, and then when I came back down, I would write what I had learned and share it with everyone here. We all have this LADDER inside of us, a place where we are constantly being taught by God, as he unravels the mysteries of the Kingdom (reign) and his will to us. So, today I felt the urge to tackle this chapter, with the hopes that it will open the eyes (understanding) of those reading, and I too will learn from it.
I’m going to start in Genesis 28, I want to take most of this chapter in Genesis and break it down, God willing. Because there is so much to this one chapter, that few see, and when the light shines, it will open your eyes (understanding) to something so profound, you may never think of this the way you have before.
So let’s begin with the backstory:
Now at this point in the story, Esau has already sold his inheritance, and now Jacob put on the “hairy Flesh” of his brother, to trick his FATHER ISAAC, into giving him the blessing.
Now I want to be clear, ESAU is a symbol of the Carnal Man, the man of the earth. He is a HUNTER (he kills), much like those first born men before him, Adam, Cane, Ishmael… the first Born NEVER inherits the Birthright/Kingdom. You’ll always find it is the second born (a symbol of being BORN AGAIN) And just like ABEL, ISAAC, and YESHUA, JACOB (The 2nd Born) pleases God. And here is how he goes about doing it. 1st he purchases the KINGDOM/REIGN from his older CARNAL BROTHER/NATURE. By appealing to his HUNGER, he fills him with LENTILS.
Matthew 13:46
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Jacob saw the VALUE in what the OLDER/CARNAL brother had. But ESAU (man’s carnal nature) is too concerned with the things of the world and feeding their bellies, than things of heaven.
Romans 16:18
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Hebrews 12:16
Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
Now, what we must remember, is God already PROMISED all to the second born JACOB. But Jacob, like myself, and many others, feel there is something we NEED to do, to inherit what we have already been freely given. Much like Adam and Eve (already made in the image of God) believed they needed to do something to be LIKE GOD. (THEY ALREADY WERE, but died thinking they had to do something, know something, and be something to be what they ALREADY WERE) – Well Jacob was no different, and how did he, and how do we go about trying to trick God into giving us what we already were given? – Well by enticing our carnal nature to obey the FOOD our HIGHER SELF prepares. In other words, instead of killing off our carnal nature/ego we instead try to clean it up and try to inherit the Kingdom (rule of God) by carnal means. (going to church, reading enough, giving enough, doing this and not doing that)…. However trying to get what God has already promised us, by CARNAL MEANS will only get us to marry the wrong lady. (we’ll enter into the wrong spiritual relationship) – We see this later when Jacob is tricked into marrying LEAH, instead of the women he wanted, craved and loved, Rachel.
I for one, have been promised a best selling novel, that I would be a ground breaking, earth shattering light for all to see, humble, and at peace. Yet, I, like Jacob, like many of you… FOOLISHLY BELIEVE there is something I HAVE TO DO TO GET THIS. Which is probably why, I am not where I am, even though I have been promised this, and know it to be true, I’m still trying to WORK it out, and get it where “I” want it, instead of waiting on God’s promise in peace. (And the peanut gallery says, DUH!)
So, we do what Jacob did, we go into our carnal mind and try and TRICK GOD into giving us what he has already given. DUH! We believe we need to act carnally, to rely on our works, instead of faith. We believe we need to put on the FLESH (CARNAL MIND) to get what we want… But what happens in the END, is we too get tricked and marry the wrong GAL (leah = the law = with her poor eye sight (poor understading) and TEN KIDS (LAWS) – And then we get stuck working for LABAN a SHEEPSHEARER (religious system) because we ignorantly believe this is the only way we will find our wife of promise.
Now we’ve all made the mistake of ACTING out of the CARNAL to get the SPIRITUAL. Shoot every Religions teaches you how to do it. From childhood you are groomed to fear God and to “please” God by doing this, or not doing that! Religion teaches us, it’s all about our egotistical works, it’s all about putting on the FLESH (CARNAL MIND) and thinking our FATHER is too blind to SEE THIS.
Acts 17:30
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
So, God seals us with a promise, and our MOTHER (SOULISH UNDERSTANDING) – SAYS, quick go get one from the flock, I’ll cook it up, take the skins of goats, and cover you with it. Father won’t know the difference. Jacob knows this is wrong, but does it anyway. OUR SOULISH UNDERSTANDING (mother) what gives birth to (who we think we are) is a powerful influence on us. So much so we would rather disobey and deceive our Father than disobey our Mother SOUL.
GENESIS 27
19And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. 20And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me. 21And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
22And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
This last line is a powerful one. Because there are times, when we have the best of intentions (or so we think) – But we go about it the wrong the way completely. That is what his FATHER noticed, his VOICE (THOUGHTS/WORDS) were Jacob’s but his HANDS (WORKS) were CARNAL, LIES, DECEIT.
It is impossible to please God without Faith. Jacob wasn’t showing much faith here, the good news is, even in his DECIET he still was blessed. But this time it would come with a much higher price. Like Jonah, he went to Ninevah, but had he listened he wouldn’t have suffered. If Jacob’s trusted God and not his Soulish Ego, he wouldn’t have lived a life that was lived in constant fear of being killed (made carnal) by his older BROTHER (Esau) – When we all know the ELDER shall serve the YOUNGER. The 1st Man is of the EARTH (carnal/soulish) people, the 2nd man is from HEAVEN above. (Christ)
Esau 1st Born KILLER/HUNTER (Adam), Jacob 2nd Born SHEPHERD (Christ) = Types and shadows.
The 1st shall be last, but Jacob didn’t have faith. Then again, WHO TRULY DOES. But we can learn through this story…
So after all this immature deceit and betrayal and manipulation and WORKS. We are brought to where ISAAC sends Jacob to marry.
Genesis 28
1And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
BIG QUESTION: Why wouldn’t he let Jacob marry one of the daughters of Canaan? Well CANAAN in HEBREW means “Lowland” – Jacob (the second born/Christ nature) is not meant to become ONE with the LOWER but with the HIGHER.
2Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.
Notice, what Isaac says… ARISE! To ARISE means to GO UP! “ARISE AND LET CHRIST GIVEE YOU LIGHT”… Jacob is told to GO UP to PADANARAM (which means THE FIELD) — When we are given our inheritance (LIFE/UNDERSTANDING) WE ARE SENT out into the FIELD… which is the world. We are told to PURCHASE this field. And in the FIELD, Jacob is sent to the house of BETHUEL (which has two meanings, both of which are powerful, one) GOD DESTROYS and two) DWELLER IN GOD.
You see our salvation (coming to the full revelation of who we are – CHRIST :), takes time. God needs to destroy that CARNAL MAN, and you need to DWELL ONLY IN GOD… This is the place the FATHER commands Jacob to ARISE and go into THE FIELD and God will destroy that carnal nature and you shall dwell in GOD… This is the FATHER’S COMMAND…
3And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; 4And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
And when you do this, as Jacob did, GOD WILL BLESS YOU (break you and make you fruitful)… multiply you (you will make an influence over the lives of others and begat sons and daughters for the kingdom’s sake.)
5And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
Now here is the part many don’t see. The MOTHER’S BROTHER is LABAN (WHITE) is what the name literally means. Which is ironic because the dude is far from PURE. He is the brother of Jacob’s mother (soulish ego) Rebekah which literally means (ENSNARER).
Jacob is told to take a wife from their house, a daughter of LABAN (A SHEEPSHEARER, WHO HAS MANY GODS/FALSE BELIEFS) – LABAN is our religious system ladies and gentlemen. And this is where GOD sends JACOB. We find out why later, it is so Jacob can set the captives their free to follow the true God. The captives are represented by the speckeled flock… Jacob placed his ROD (authority/teaching/understanding/correction) into the water and this is what brought the flock to him. But we are getting way ahead of ourselves here. Jacob’s journey has just begun, and like us he will find many bumps in the road.
BUT, this is the main crux of this paper… and I tried to keep this one short for all of you. To show you this LADDER is within us all!
10And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. 11And he LIGHTED upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
The word LIGHTED means (encounter/reach/intercede). So Jacob ENCOUNTERED something. At this “certain place” and he stayed there ALL NIGHT. Meaning he could not leave this place (of understanding) until the LIGHT ROSE. But the SUN was set. Jacob was in DARKNESS, IGNORANT. LOST. But there were STONES in that “certain place” and he took them for a PILLOW (which means, to LAY A HEAD, DOMINION, RULE)
“Foxes have holes, birds have nests, but the son of man has nowhere to lay his head”
NoW are these LITERAL STONES? Ahhhhhh NO! Scripture is an allegory. To LAY YOUR HEAD on something means to PUT YOUR THOUGHTS TO IT. And remember, JACOB was in DARKNESS (Ignorance) – The SUN SET, it wasn’t rising.
Jacob had been sent into the field, unequipped. So he did what most of us did, because we didn’t know any better… he laid his head/ he put his faith in the stones (the law) = which will only put you further to SLEEP/DEATH.
Deuteronomy 27:8
And you shall write very clearly all the words of this law on these stones you have set up.
But there is good news, just like JACOB, I too, after sleeping on the STONES of LAWS AND DOCTRINES began to dream… And this dream was so great. That I would never again need to search for God, after it.
12And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Now this LADDER was set up ON the EARTH (first man’s understanding), the lowest rung was carnality, the highest rung was CHRIST, As this ladder reached the HEAVENS! – meaning people, our carnal nature and our Christed nature are CONNECTED. And Jacob understood that the MESSAGE/TRUTH/ENVOYS of God ascend and descend on it… Which means, we will all have our ups and our downs. We all will be lifted to the heights of revelation and brought down to the depths of ignorance.
13And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; 14And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
Now here is the best PART, above it ALL is GOD. And Jacob understood in this moment, GOD WAS IN CONTROL OF IT ALL! That God would NEVER leave him, and that God would make him a master of even the ground (lowest thinking) he laid upon.
Jacob understood, there was a plan, he understood that there was NO DISCONNECT between God and those that are ignorant. He knew GOD could never be separate, but more importantly that GOD WAS IN CONTROL.
16And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not. 17And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
This is wonderfully symbolic of how when we WAKE OUT OF OUR SLEEP, we understand GOD IS IN US, AND WE IN GOD. The house of the Lord is the TEMPLE of God, Jacob, like you and I, are that TEMPLE… WE ARE THE GATE OF HEAVEN!
His dream took place WITHIN HIM, not outside of him. Jacob knew that the only way to GOD was to go within. And he also knew that HE COULD NO LONGER FAIL, BECAUSE IT WAS GOD THAT WILLED HIS LIFE AND ORDERED HIS STEPS.
I hope we all grab hold of this dream,
Jacob
THIS IS FOR YOU WHO IS ME
THIS IS FOR YOU WHO IS ME
This if for you, the one I love, the one from above, who fell into hell and forget all was well.
I know now it’s hard to tell, as tears begin to swell, in this dark place you dwell.
But there’s a light from within, flip the switch and you’ll begin to see in this darkness that you’re living was your only sin.
I know your crying, so many lying, many in the place I used to be. But now I’m free to come and be who you need me to be. An extension of you, you see. Not different, not separate, not her or him, not he or she. There is only you in me.
Me in you, that is true. But there is nothing you can do to change, rearrange, or undo the hard times that have come upon you.
No magic ceremony, no mystical names can be shouted or touted, to teach you the lie from the truth. And all I can do is hope I’m getting through with these lines I’m now writing to you.
Thoughts, thoughts, swelling around, hard to track down the smile hidden beneath so many frowns.
“You’re no good”, “You’ll never ahead”, “You’re a loser, you’re better off dead”, “I’ll never know peace, I’ll always be broke.” Can’t you see these are the lies on which you choke.
You are your words, your words are you. You can be what you want be, you can do what you want to do. But you don’t believe that is true. You forgot who you are, my son, my daughter, I know it’s hard when you exist in a country that is far.
This place has erased your memory of me, which is really you, and you which is really me. This place has chased away your peace. This place where you find yourself to be, you molded and formed and created, you see.
“I knew that would happen”, “I knew I wouldn’t get that job”, “If I had a gun a bank I should rob”, “She left me, she’ll get hers, I’ll track her down and make her hurt.”, “He cheated, he lied, now he’s going to cry, I’ll show him how he hurt me, when I take my life.”
My child can’t you see, these words are not coming from you, who is me. You’ve believed you are something that you are not meant to be. You are gods, you see, just like me, who is you, who is me.
Life and death is in the power of the mind and tongue, fears and tears ignorantly forced on the young. Cursed from birth, creating the sad image of what you’ve become.
What happened to your life, my daughter, my son? What happened to rolling down a hill to just have fun, to holding hands, living life without a plan, laughing until your belly hurt? But now it’s only work, work, work, at a place that only brings you heartache and hurt. You can’t find the time to see that your job is but a sign of where you are in your life. Do you really believe there is no reason or rhyme, yet you choose to lose when victory in everything has been yours all the time.
My child, my son, my daughter, my sad friend, in the end, you’ll see, that you’re me, and I am you, together we are one and what you do to others, and what you have done, is the reason you have begun to crawl, and are too tired to walk, and because you feint when you begin to run.
Don’t live in the illusion, in the negative projection of what you have believed yourself to be. When in fact you are me, can’t you see? Close your eyes, look inside, that is where I hide, I, your true life.
The beginning and end, my son, my daughter, my friend, that is who you are in your country that is far. And when you wake up, after your hell shakes up the spirit within your mind. You’ll be still, sitting on a high hill, with the sun shining like it’s never shined before. And you’ll ponder the words, I’ve asked you to ponder before, the words you forgot were words that were actually yours.
You’ll say to yourself, after climbing out of hell, “I am Lord, I know this now because I am still.”
Peace, be encouraged, “all things are possible to those that believe.”
SAMSOM’S RIDDLE REVEALED
“SAMSON’S RIDDLE REVEALED”
Where we last left Samson, his mother had just given birth. Which I explained is an allegory of “christ” being formed In us, and Birthed In us, as everything in scripture is an allegory of you and me! The bible is OUR STORY as much as it is the story of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ruth, David, Jesus, etc… So when we come across these wonderful stories like the one of Samson, it’s good to ask God to break it down for us so we can better understand what REALLY is going on.
What was the deal with the STRENGTH being in Samson’s hair? Did he really kill the enemy with a jaw bone? Did he really tie a bunch of fox tails together, light them on fire and burn down a harvest, or is this a PARABLE for us to learn from.
Now before you go getting all upset, I’m not saying that these things NEVER LITERALLY HAPPENED, what I’m saying is IT DOESN’T MATTER if they did or not. What matters is what we LEARN from them.
So let’s pick back up at CHAPTER 14 in Judges. Which speaks of Samson’s FIRST MARRIAGE… That’s right, he married TWICE. And yes there is a great reason for this as well.
Judges 14
1 Samson went down to Timnah and saw there a young Philistine woman. 2 When he returned, he said to his father and mother, “I have seen a Philistine woman in Timnah; now get her for me as my wife.”
I want to point out, something many don’t SEE. Samson (a picture of Christ In us) WENT DOWN… he descended, as Christ descended into hell, so we see Samson doing the same. Samson WENT DOWN to TIMNAH which in Hebrew means PORTION. Samson went down for his PORTION (what was rightfully his) and he sees a young PHILISTINE which we now know in Hebrew means immigrant.
Leviticus 25:35
And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
Now a Philistine would be a stranger and sojourner to Samson and his family. But here we see Samson, went down to FIND THIS BRIDE. As Christ does. So many people get hung up on whether or not a person is of God or not. But all are God’s. Let’s not forget that. Now our ego and our religious upbringing may disagree with this, but God is God of all.
Romans 9:25
As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
You see God has made a new convenant at this point. And Samson is a picture of how this happens. The story of Samson, our story, is all about the inward work. It is how God brings ALL to the knowledge of the truth and the stature of the perfect man.
Jeremiah 31
32Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: 33But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Notice, Jeremiah writes ALL people, from the least to the greatest. This is God’s work, and NONE are left out. This is why SAMSON went DOWN, this is why CHRIST (the annointing and higher understanding of God’s truth, the word, the truth) has to descend to RAISE others up out of their own personal hell. And this happens in EACH OF US, when the time is appointed. (which is different for everyone)
3 His father and mother replied, “Isn’t there an acceptable woman among your relatives or among all our people? Must you go to the uncircumcised Philistines to get a wife?”
Now, Samson’s Pop and Mom, could not accept this. They are like those in religion today that think you need to be with those that agree with whatever their creed or doctrine states. This is the same Father and Mother, that didn’t believe it was possible to birth the child of promise to begin with… And who is this FATHER AND MOTHER that is pictured here? What are they an allegory of?
Job 17:14
I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother
Job called his Father and Mother, the very natures that corrupted and tormented him.
Oh I know what you’re saying, we are supposed to honor Mother and Father, well if the Father is God and Mother is Wisdom then yes we must… But in many cases the FATHER is the carnal mind and the Mother is the ignornat soulish ego. And if you have ears to hear this, this is why Christ came to set child against his parents.
Matthew 10:35
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother
We need to break free from the sins of the OLD MAN and enter into the promise of the NEW MAN. Like our physical parents who also can curse us, by planting doubt and worry in our head, our Egotistical thoughts within, our ignorance and pride will also try and convince us that what we are doing is wrong, when in fact, we are doing right.
This is what is being pictured here with Samson. He is calling those HIS OWN, that were once called enemies. And even though, his parents disagreed strongly with Samson’s choice. Samson, as Christ would do, said…
But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me. She’s the right one for me.” 4 (His parents did not know that this was from the LORD, who was seeking an occasion to confront the Philistines; for at that time they were ruling over Israel.)
Many people will teach you should have nothing to do with those that aren’t of your particular faith. But Samson knew better and the Christ In Us knows better.
Acts 10
11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
Even Peter had a problem with this. He doubted, but God said, EVERYTHING HE HAS MADE IS CLEAN! Don’t call it otherwise. So Samson, like the Christ In Us, forced Mother and Father to do his will… You see even when our carnl mind doesn’t want us to do a certain thing, Christ is stronger than our carnal mind, and HIS WILL IS DONE.
“GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD”
5 Samson went down to Timnah together with his father and mother. As they approached the vineyards of Timnah, suddenly a young lion came roaring toward him.
Now when we do the WILL OF GOD, we will find many LIONS coming against us. Roaring and trying to scare us away from our purpose. And what is a YOUNG LION, symbolically mean?
Psalms 17
9From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. 10They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. 11They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; 12Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
The funny thing about the Lion, in some cases it is the wicked, it is described as satan, and also christ. Indeed a lion is a paradox. But in this case, the LION was standing in the way of SAMSON and his purpose. And we saw what he did.
6 The Spirit of the LORD came upon him in power so that he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as he might have torn a young goat. But he told neither his father nor his mother what he had done. 7 Then he went down and talked with the woman, and he liked her.
You see, there is nothing that can stand between God and his will. It doesn’t matter how many lion’s dens you find yourself in, how many Lions come across your path, Christ is bigger and stronger than them all. And good will always come out of this. When the STRONG MAN (carnal man) of the house is bound, it is then that the Truth can be revealed and found within the House.
8 Some time later, when he went back to marry her, he turned aside to look at the lion’s carcass. In it was a swarm of bees and some honey, 9 which he scooped out with his hands and ate as he went along. When he rejoined his parents, he gave them some, and they too ate it. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the lion’s carcass.
It is odd that a swarm of BEES making HONEY would be found in a LION’S DEAD carcass… unless of course this was an ALLEGORY.
Bees are known in scripture as being something that chases after you and stings you. They are often referred to as ENEMIES.
Psalm 118:12
They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
In this carcass of the DEAD LION, in DEATH we find a SWARM OF BEES. Picture this LION as the religious system, it is DEAD, but filled with BEE’S working to make HONEY. Which is symbolic of enlightenment and WISDOM.
1 Samuel 14:29
Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
Which even in the midst of enemies, even a donkey can speak. Christ can look past the DEAD teaching of RELIGION and reach in there and SCOOP some wisdom out of it. I can’t tell you how many times I am listening to someone on the radio who is teaching something, which I know to be completely wrong, but then I hear something and a LIGHT goes off inside me… And in the midst of those BEES, in the MIDST of that DEATH, there is HONEY! God teaches us in all things. Just listen, and ask God to show you and teach you the truth and you too can find the WISDOM in the midst of DEAD TEACHINGS. And this is what Samson did, he tore down something that would KILL HIM (the law/religious mindset) ripped it in two (the veil) found bees in that DEATH, and still was able to GLEAN HONEY and share it with his MOTHER AND FATHER… As Christ shares wisdom with our soul.
Now here’s the fun part: THE RIDDLE
10 Now his father went down to see the woman. And Samson made a feast there, as was customary for bridegrooms. 11 When he appeared, he was given thirty companions. 12 “Let me tell you a riddle,” Samson said to them. “If you can give me the answer within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty sets of clothes. 13 If you can’t tell me the answer, you must give me thirty linen garments and thirty sets of clothes.”
“Tell us your riddle,” they said. “Let’s hear it.”
Ever wonder why there was 30 companions, and he gave 7 days to COMPLETE THE WORK of this riddle? At what age, did CHRIST begin his MINISTRY? 30 🙂 … And what is the reward for answering this riddle, new garments.
Ezekiel 44:17
And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
Once you figure out the RIDDLE, after it is complete 7 DAYS, you are allowed to enter into the INNER COURT. This is all an allegory of how Christ brings us into the kingdom. A feast is prepared, and the RIDDLE of life is before us… and what is that RIDDLE?
14 He replied,
“Out of the eater, something to eat;
out of the strong, something sweet.”
For three days they could not give the answer.
15 On the fourth [a] day, they said to Samson’s wife, “Coax your husband into explaining the riddle for us, or we will burn you and your father’s household to death. Did you invite us here to rob us?” 16 Then Samson’s wife threw herself on him, sobbing, “You hate me! You don’t really love me. You’ve given my people a riddle, but you haven’t told me the answer.”
“I haven’t even explained it to my father or mother,” he replied, “so why should I explain it to you?” 17 She cried the whole seven days of the feast. So on the seventh day he finally told her, because she continued to press him. She in turn explained the riddle to her people.
Notice on the 4th day (symbolic of the wilderness journey) the anger, frustration, and threats come. We want to know the MEANING OF THIS. And so Samson’s wife (his body/soul of mankind) pleads until the seventh day… And finally it is revealed. Notice it is REVEALED before the SUN SETS.
18 Before sunset on the seventh day the men of the town said to him,
“What is sweeter than honey?
What is stronger than a lion?”
Samson said to them,
“If you had not plowed with my heifer,
you would not have solved my riddle.”
So now many people would have no clue as to what this means. What the heck kind of an answer to a riddle is another riddle. Well the TRUTH is found, by searching the scriptures to find out WHAT IS SWEETER THAN HONEY and STRONGER than a LION.
Psalm 19:9-11
9The fear of the LORD (BEGINNING OF WISDOM) is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: SWEETER THANK HONEY and the honeycomb.
Psalm 119:103
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
That which is sweeter than HONEY, is EVERY WORD AND WISDOM that comes from God. It is the fear of the Lord, it is unity with his spirit. This is the answer TO THE RIDDLE OF LIFE. Even Solomon on his worst day said this in ecclesiates.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
And now unto understanding the second part of this riddle answered riddle. WHAT IS STRONGER THAN A LION?
Hebrews 11:33
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
FAITH, that’s right. That is what is stronger than LIONS. FAITH.
the meaning to LIFE is summed up in SAMSON’S RIDDLE for those who search out the matter. – FAITH, FEAR OF GOD, HEARING GOD, UNDERSTANDING GOD.
This is the COMPLETE WORK that is finished after SEVEN DAYS. When we learn this WE ENTER INTO GOD’S REST.
And at that point out of the EATER (those who eat only) comes meat (they begin to feed) out of the STRONG (proud) comes something sweet. (salvation)
2 Corinthians 2:15
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

“the Truth Will Change You”
SAMSON’S BIRTH
THE BIRTH OF SAMSON
Many have heard the story of the strong man Samson, who was raised up as a powerful judge but always had poor choices when it came to women. And like FABIO, lost all his strength when his hair was cut off. For Samson’s strength, much like the model Fabio was indeed his long flowing locks, LOL… In any event much like every story in scripture there is a great hidden truth, and today I hope to share the answer to the “riddle of Samson” as well as also solving the literal riddle he put forth.
So the best place to start is the beginning, so let’s Rock and Roll.
Judges 13
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
Let’s start by looking at something that is often overlooked. ISRAEL has children. Many read this and think of a literal land, but this is allegory. The Children of Israel, were born of Israel… And who is ISRAEL?
Hosea 11:1
When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
ISRAEL is another name for CHRIST (son of God) – This is the second name given to Jacob, and the second Adam. This is MANKIND’S second nature. The word ISRAEL in HEBREW means “God prevails”. Which is simply understood when you consider what God must prevail over… THE WORLD (Man’s Lusts and Carnal Nature)
So the CHILDREN of Israel, were people who once knew God and the Truth of God, but strayed. So God hands them over to the Philistines forty years.
There is that number again 40. 40 years in the desert wandering, 40 days in the wilderness, 40 less one stripe, David is king at 40, and now prisoners to the Philistines for 40 YEARS…. Forty being symbolic of a GESTATION period, ABOUT FORTY WEEKS to give birth, 3, a Tri-mester…
Now what many fail to see is that this allegorical telling of Israel being made captive to the Philistines, is actually our story as well before we are delivered. You’d be surprised to find out what the country of Philistia means “land of sojourners”. God gave us over to wandering without a true understanding of who we are, and who God is. Because ISRAEL’s children (REMEMBER all things were made by Christ, for Christ, through Christ) – we are all CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH, but here we see that ISRAEL’S CHILDREN are ignorant in ADAMIC THINKING = EVIL.
Psalm 52:3
Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousnes
To follow after EVIL is to follow a lie. Look, this whole thing called life is about resurrecting the TRUTH from the LIES we have believed about ourselves and others.
Let’s continue:
Judges 13:2
And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.
Now Manoah (Samson’s Father) was from the Danites lineage. “Dan” in hebrew means “JUDGE”. Manoah in Hebrew means “REST” – Which is a great picture of where God wants us all to be, at REST. But his wife was BARREN.
Now, the BARREN WOMB is a picture of our soul, before the TRUTH (CHRIST) has been birthed in us. The WIFE is always a picture of MANKINDS SOUL, remember we are the BRIDE OF CHRIST. Christ is the HEAD, THE RULE AND AUTHORITY of his WIFE (our soul/who we believe ourselves to be) – But the TWO must become ONE to give birth to the NEW CREATION, where there is no longer HUSBAND (CHRIST) and WIFE (SOUL) but we too BECOME CHRIST revealed in the FLESH.
The SPIRIT of God and the SOUL of Man, must become one. The SOUL is formed first (The first man was made a living soul). The second Man is made a quikening spirit. In the GARDEN the TWO were ONE, but were seperated, now when they come together again, the WIFE (SOUL) becomes subject to her HUSBAND (CHRIST) and the ELDER serves the YOUNGER. The NEW CREATION (Christ in You) rules. (Okay that may be too much for some, but it gets easier I promise)
So Manoah’s wife was BARREN … UNTIL…. she meets GOD’S MESSENGER. Some translations call this an ANGEL, but an ANGEL simply means “envoy, messenger, message” etc…
Judges 13:3
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
Now we know this is not some winged creature, not just because of the literal translation, but because of a couple of verses later…
Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A MAN OF GOD came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel (MESSENGER) of God
But let’s put that aside for a second. This is MESSENGER OF GOD that visits the BARREN woman. Now no one can get pregnant unless a SEED is planted, RIGHT?
Luke 8:11
Now the parable is this: The SEED is the WORD (TRUTH) OF GOD.
The WIFE (SOUL OF MAN) is only BARREN until it recieves the TRUTH of God. And of course, this is what the MESSENGER OF GOD brings, the WORD (Truth). Once the Truth is HEARD, that which is BARREN, is BARREN no more. This is of course if it is planted on good ground. And of course any WIFE to MANOAH (rest) is good ground.
Now the MESSENGER warns her…
Judges 13:4
Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
When we first come to the knowledge of the truth, it is so very important to stay away from the lies of religion and the world. Otherwise that SEED that is growing inside of us, can become corrupted by what we believe. Remember the parable of the sower, if the seed falls on the wrong ground, it can be killed.
So the MESSENGER says stay away from wine, strong drink, and unclean food. – Let’s see what these are ALLEGORIES of, to see if they line up to what I just wrote.
Proverbs 20:1
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Wine and Strong Drink is a symbol of deciet, lies.
Isaiah 5:21-23
21Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 22Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
WINE and STRONG DRINK are also compared to being proud and wise in your own understanding. Which we are commanded NEVER TO LEAN ON.
Micah 2:11
If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
The Messenger of God delivers the TRUTH and warns the WIFE (US) that we are to stay away from lies, pride, falsehood etc… basically, stay away from BABYLON PEOPLE, get out of the RELIGIOUS MINDSET and move unto perfection. But the MESSENGER also says not to EAT any unclean thing.
Now you’d be surprised to find out what the UNCLEAN thing she is told not to EAT (become one with/assimilate)
Haggai 2:13-15
13Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean. 14Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
DEATH is unclean… To be CARNALLY MINDED is DEATH, relying on your OWN WORKS is DEATH and considered unclean.
When the TRUTH OF GOD is spoken to our hearts. We are warned to stay away from the lies of the world and religion and NOT TO RELY on our DEAD WORKS. We are told we must put our trust in GOD, and GOD alone.
Now look, being pregnant with the possiblity of giving birth to that CHILD OF PROMISE (WE BECOME THE BEW CREATION) is exciting, but it is also a very crucial time for our spiritual development. As a child will believe any and every little lie they are told, so a child of ISRAEL may do the same if not careful. So we see this MESSENGER warning Manoah’s wife TO STEER CLEAR… As I do to those I speak with.
Once that seed is sown, lots of things want to strangle it away. Thorns – Cares of the World, Ravenous Birds – Carnal Thoughts, and you get my meaning. There is a lot that stands in the way of our excepting the truth of who we are IN CHRIST, because to do this, that means we must DENY WHO WE THINK WE ARE… Which LITERALLY means we have to admit “JACOB” is not real, does not exist… ONLY ISRAEL EXISTS.
Our LIFE is hid IN (with/by) CHRIST (spirit of God)
The UNCLEAN things of this world PRODUCE DEATH, and it spreads like poison IVY. Think of the rumor mill. One person tells one person something terrible about another person, and that person who hears this has a EVIL seed planted in his heart about that “other” person, regardless of if it is true or not.
So, this is why when the MESSENGERS of GOD come and tell us “YOU WILL GIVE BIRTH TO CHRIST, you will REVEAL CHRIST” – it is so very important NOT TO LISTEN to anyone else who will say different.
There is BUT ONE hope of Glory, and that is CHRIST IN YOU… Which is sort of the ANSWER to Samson’s riddle.
Judges 14:14
And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
But we’ll get to that later. Back to Manoah and his wife.
So, the Messenger of God speaks to Manoah, and he and his wife enter into an angreement that these things be true. That indeed this BARREN WIFE of his will give birth. This is an agreement our intellect and spirit enter into together… the two in fact become ONE with this agreement, that indeed it is GOING TO HAPPEN, CHRIST IN US IS THE HOPE OF GLORY.
Now, Manoah does something very hospitable here, he invites the MESSENGER to stay.
Judges 13:15
And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
Isn’t that just like the ignorant. Thinking we can DETAIN the word of God. Believing we MUST do something to SAY “THANKS”…. At this point in our walks we are still so steeped in our work mentality that we feel we MUST HOLD BACK that MESSENGER until we follow the LAW. But the Messenger was all like, NAH! Don’t want what you’re serving, but if I have to stay, and you have to sacrafice, do it to GOD not to me.
Judges 13:16
And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD.
You see, the BREAD is the understanding they had at that moment. There is no LIFE in what they believed or served, the LIFE was given by the MESSENGER. Jesus said, the MEAT that I have is to do the WILL OF GOD… We’re not talking about literal bread here.
When someone with understanding shares with someone who does not. The one that does not, ALWAYS wants to share back. But those who know the TRUTH of God, will NEVER eat what they are serving. They cannot. They understand to start eating that DEAD BREAD again, would mean, it’s back to the cross for them.
Hebrew 6
4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame
Then Manoah, like most of us who hear NEW THINGS from the KINGDOM, wanted to KNOW THE NAME (nature) of the messenger of God. “Who are you?”
And the MESSENGER REPLIES…
Judges 13:8
And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
And what is the SECRET NAME that this ANGEL (MESSENGER) was holding back? You see, if the Messenger of God revealed who HE really was… Manoah and His Wife might have backslidden. The True NATURE of Christ in man, cannot be understood by bthe BARREN, they cannot know the TRUTH of God, until the CHRIST is REVEALED (birthed) from within. This is why his name was SECRET. The WORD secret in the hebrew means “wonderful, incomprehensible, extraordinary” — In other words, they wouldn’t understand the NATURE (NAME) of this great MESSAGE God was delivering them even if the MESSENGER came right out and told them. BABY STEPS PEOPLE.
Proverbs 11:12-14
12He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace. 13A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
You go to someone who is immature in the faith, and you basically tell them the LIBERTY you have in CHRIST and they will not only hate you and attack you, you will cause them to stumble. That is why it is always best to give the MESSAGE you are sent to give and keep the rest back, until they are ready.
Hebrews 5:12
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Then they sacrafice the Kid, the Flame (sword) goes up to heaven, and the Angel (Messenger/message) ascends with it. This Messenger of God was taken out of MANOAH and his Wife SIGHT (Understanding)
Now listen, this is a wonderful telling of how we recieve revelation from God, we desperately want it to stay with us so we can learn more, but them POOF, it’s gone as quickly as it came. And this is what this story is trying to tell us.
Jesus comes (revealed) – the TRUTH of God is revealed LIKE LIGHTNING from heaven… in Spurts of BRIGHT POWERFUL LIGHT, but it doesn’t stick around for long… But it comes and comes and comes, until that CHILD OF PROMISE IS BORN, meaning UNTIL YOU BECOME GOD’S CHILD (born again).
Now Manoah, thought he had somehow gotten God all upset, because the MESSENGER was now gone. (how many of us do the same thing when the drought comes) – We think, oh darn it, I messed up… I’ve gotten to close to God (Manoah said he saw God’s face and worried now he would DIE)
We worry about the same thing. We think, Oh, I have gotten too close, puffed up with pride, and now the MESSENGER OF GOD (Thoughts of Truth) is GONE, and I will surely become CARNAL AGAIN (dead) – But Manoah’s wife assures him.
But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these.
We have to remember that if God wanted us IGNORANT, he wouldn’t be feeding us, and leading us, like a child through life until the CHRIST (WHO IS OUR TRUE SPIRIT) is RESURRECTED from within. We have to have faith that…
“He who began this good work in us, will complete it until the DAY OR THE LORD”
And the good news is….
Judges 13:24
And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
SAMSON – which in Hebrew means “Who is like the SUN/SON”
1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
“As he (Christ) is in this world SO ARE WE.”
This is the good news, so even if you feel barren like your circumstances are hopeless and beyond repair. God has a purpose and plan. The Truth will be revealed to you, and you like Manoah and His Wife will be given instruction to stay away from the lies of this world, so you can OVERCOME THE WORLD and the LUSTS THERE OF.
God will will be done, ON EARTH (our soul) as it is in HEAVEN (GOD’S TRUTH AND RULE)…
SAMSON’S STORY CONTINUES AT A LATER DATE. In the meantime, don’t get down on yourself if revelation isn’t hitting you left and right. Don’t believe you have to do more, or be more, for God to spark the CHRIST to LIFE within you… All you need to do is MARRY MANOAH (enter into the REST of God, and know that HE IS IN CONTROL)
Peace to you and yours,
Jacob
