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

Jacob Israel8 Comments


“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:

SAMSON’S BIRTH

Jacob Israel2 Comments

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

ANGEL and DEMON lie!

The ANGEL and DEMON lie!

I’m tired of seeing the theatrics of so-called demon possesed men and women showing up at church and the so-called Religious leader “casting these demons out”. It’s hard to watch such nonsence and see those in attendance believe. It’s hard to know the truth of what a devil/demon and Angel really is, and not be able to track each of these false teachers down and put them in their place for what they have stolen from those they are supposed to give freely to.

“My people are perished for their lack of knowledge and understanding”

This saying is very true. People will not listen to sound teaching, doctrine that is simple, not complex. Truth that deals with the heart of mankind, not some supernatural non-existent creatures that either minister or torment us.

Jesus said, “My words are SPIRIT and TRUTH” – In this one simple phrase we understand that WORDS which come from THOUGHTS, are SPIRITS. Some of our thoughts are TRUE, some are LIES.

These are the ANGELS and DEMONS/DEVILS that scripture speaks of. Our thoughts, and those that manifest these thoughts are their MESSENGERS. I hope this video sheds the LIGHT on the darkness that has been around for so very long. Jacob

BREATHE AND PUSH – A POEM

Jacob Israel6 Comments


Breathe and Push

Change was taking place, something bright, something new.
A life was taking shape, but what is was, no one knew.

No one expected, no one prepared, just another day in another life.
Business as usual it seemed, until something wasn’t right.

Sickness in the morning, a great hunger in the afternoon,
A change was taking place, that much, to her, unfortunately was true.

“What is going on with me? Why do I look and feel this way?”
“Life was better before this happened,” that, she would always say.

“I’m tired, I’m angry, my feet and back hurt too.”
“I can’t sleep, I’m always moody and I don’t know what to do.”
“When will this nightmare end? Please God tell me, what did I ever do to you?”

“I’m not a bad person, so why should I suffer this way?”
“The only advice I seem to hear, is breathe and push when pain attacks my back and legs.”

“I do not want this, I would rather die than live like this another day.”
“Why should I push and prepare myself for anything that makes me feel this way?”

“I can’t take it! I hate it! So one kill me, I mean it, the pain is too great!”
“Nothing is worth this torture I feel, this is all a big mistake!”

Then, in one breath, in one push, in one moment in time.
The pain was gone, the fight was over and then a babies cry.

“Oh my God, she’s so beautiful,” the mother said with grateful tears in her eyes.
She couldn’t believe that after all that pain everything finally felt right.
Wrapped in a blanket, the baby slept as the Mother held her tight.
Her past forgotten, her anger gone, replaced by the joy and hope of having a new life.

We all go through difficult times. We all feel like our suffering will never end. We all wonder why it is we hurt the way we do. But when the pains of life come and you feel like you want to give up, just remember, you never know what may be waiting for you on the other side if you don’t. So, hold on, take a breath, and push through. If you do this, you may just find that your present suffering is nothing compared to what God is about to reveal in you.

JESUS STATUE BURNT DOWN

Jacob Israel7 Comments

JESUS STATUE BURNS

This morning I came across this amazing bit of news. The famous Six story Statue of Jesus, seen here in the picture below, was struck by lightning and burned completly to the ground.

So it was struck by Lightning and Burned to the ground. Meanwhile, the Billboard for pornography remained untouched. It should have been an allegorical message for all to see, that this Statue/Idol of Jesus the MAN as God, was spiritual porn to begin with. But hey, it’s the morning and I’m getting way ahead of myself. Below is a pretty eye opening essay for you, and I pray at the end you will SEE without your natural eyes that the IDOLS in man’s heart are being taken away.

Let’s start shall we? P.S. I have not yet edited this, so forgive any spelling etc. mistakes, I am a writer after all. 🙂

JESUS THE IDOL BURNS TO THE GROUND

So, God makes man in his IMAGE (Christ). All things were made by the son/daughter for the son/daughter. Even mankind is made in the SON/DAUGHTER.

The reason I say, SON/DAUGHTER is because there is no male or female in Christ. And the belief that somehow women are inferior to men spiritually has got to go. We all know, they are NOT, for we are all one. They are ONLY inferior when it comes to power tools… Just kidding, I am not one to talk about such things. As I have problems screwing in a light bulb. Holy Tangent Batman…

In any event, there is ONLY GOD, and CHRIST in US. All is one, One is all. The word SON conotates, A SEED giver, A life/spirit giver. The CHILD of GOD is many members, races, colors, male and female, and it is NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON named JESUS. Sorry ya’ll. The Truth hurts for some I know.

Yeshua, was the first BORN among many brethren/siblings. The FIRST Born among the dead. But many literalists take the word SON to mean a single man from two thousand years ago, with big blue eyes, a well groomed beard, handsome, etc… Which is where we get the famous, Butter Jesus, now burnt down to the ground. Oh, I bet it is a sad day for those church members. This is why we are told to FLEE BABYLON people, so when this whole system comes crashing down, we won’t be affected by it.

Now, while some think he looks like Jim Caviezel from the Passion of the Christ, others may argue, no Jesus was dark skinned, black, hispanic, indian, asian, etc… But the point is, they’re ALL wrong.

The SON OF GOD is NOT one literal person. THE SON of GOD is MANKIND as a whole. Either dead in ADAM which means (HUMANITY), or ALIVE in CHRIST which means ANNOINTED/ENLIGHTENED ONE.

You see this JESUS, from two thousand years ago, is the problem.

This IDOL is the reason so many are in bondage today. The sinner’s prayers asks Jesus into their heart, believing this is where salvation is found. Never once realizing their SALVATION is WITHIN!

This is the MYSTERY that has been HIDDEN from the AGES.

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

God DOES NOT make known Christ outside of you, from two thousand years ago, coming again soon, as some would say. God makes known the CHRIST IN YOU!

Our SALVATION is not from ONE MAN. Our salvation, is the KNOWLEDGE that we are GOD’S SON (male and female) – This is what Salvation is. This is ETERNAL LIFE, to know GOD THE FATHER AND CHRIST!

This is the MYSTERY that has been hidden. God, our FATHER (another symbol – of a LIFE GIVING SPIRIT) – THERE IS NO MALE AND FEMALE IN GOD EITHER. God is the ONLY SAVIOUR there is.


Isaiah 43:11
I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

This is why Jesus said, I need to go away. Man was putting their faith in MAN. They love to worship the IMAGE, they love to worship the CREATED instead of the CREATOR.

Romans 1:25
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator

Hear this, as much as it hurts to HEAR THIS, HEAR THIS! Salvation does not come from MAN. GOD IS NOT, I repeat, GOD IS NOT A MAN THAT HE SHOULD LIE OR THE SON OF MAN that he should REPENT!

Numbers 23:19
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Now I know many say JESUS is GOD. Well, you’re WRONG. Yeshua, like us, is the son of man and the son of God. Born of a woman, and Born of the SPIRIT. We must stop looking at ONE MAN as the end all be all, and see that we all are ONE.

Now, if you use Scripture as the ONLY source of information about God. Well, that is okay, but you should be learning about God within, as well as learning about GOD through the THINGS MADE.

2 Corinthians 4:18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Don’t get me wrong, I love scripture. However, I don’t make the bible an IDOL, as many make JESUS statues/painting/necklaces/tee-shirts, etc IDOLS.

I believe SCRIPTURE is inspired, good for instruction and I know the Holy Spirit (Christ) interprets this for us. But I also know NOT to make the scriptures an IDOL. Don’t you dare call scripture the WORD OF GOD.

The WORD OF GOD is TRUTH and SPIRIT. It is not a book. The fact that the bible has 66 books in it, should be your first dead (carnal) giveaway. 66, is the duality of MAN. 6 is the number of man. Put two 6’s together, and that is what you get.

However, the reason I use the scriptures to express these things, is because I know few have moved beyond the bible. So I must have a witness for them that is tangible. So when I say, JESUS IS NOT GOD, (Which I already have an essay on here about this – look for it) – I use scripture so you have a witness in the book.

Numbers 23:19
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the SON OF MAN, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Jesus was both a MAN and called himself the SON OF MAN. = Jesus is NOT GOD. “Jesus the man”

Matthew 12:40
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the SON OF MAN be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

This scripture shows Jesus calling himself the SON OF MAN. But also reveals a great mystery. The offspring of MANKIND is going to be IGNORANT, DEAD, BURIED IN THEIR CARNAILITY, until RISEN AS THE SON OF GOD.

But let’s put that aside. Even for those who do NOT believe Jesus is GOD, they still believe the ONLY WAY TO SALAVATION is believing in this DEAD MAN from TWO THOUSAND YEARS ago, as opposed to understanding, that WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE SAME BODY. We are all JESUS, and JESUS is ALL US.

1 Corinthians 12
14For the body is not one member, but many.

Either DEAD (Ignorant) in CARNAL THINKING, or ENLIGHTENED in CHRIST (The wisdom and understanding of who we truly are IN CHRIST, AS CHRIST, CHRIST)

Galatians 2
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me

So, you see, when we build big six story statues, like BUTTER JESUS, and we paint big picture of Jesus, and pray to Jesus, etc… We are in fact praying to a god man created. We are worshipping MAN as God, as opposed to worshipping God as our Father.

Look, Jesus said there will come a time when we will NO LONGER go to Him, but we will know God as our Father, and that the Father (another word for SEED GIVER OF LIFE AND SPIRIT) loves us.

John 16
23And in that day ye shall ask me (JESUS) nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name (AS GOD’S SON), he will give it you. 24Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 25These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

Hey, I know this is a hard saying for many of you. To ask something in ONE’S NAME, means you ask AS THAT PERSON, because in fact you ARE THAT PERSON.

Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

ONE cannot be divided into two. Let that sink in. Really, think about what you just read. ONE IN CHRIST. We are ALL ONE. One cannot be divided.

Mark 3:24
And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

So by putting your faith in ONE MAN, and YOURSELF. You have taken the UNITY (ONENESS) of God and divided it.

We must realize that like everything in scripture, Jesus, (and yes I believe he existed, lived, AND WAS crusified literally) is a symbol for us all to learn from. Jesus is a symbol of what and who we are, and can be. You may have heard the term PATTERN SON. Well in essence that is what Jesus is. Our PATTERN.

1 Timothy 1:16
Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

Jesus said, very clearly, the things I do, you shall do… AND…

John 14:12
…and GREATER works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Now try and CATCH this… GREATER WORKS ARE DONE, WHEN YOU GO TO THE FATHER! Let me repeat that, GREATER WORKS IN YOU shall be done when YOU GO TO THE FATHER (Source of all creation/GOD)

Now, there is ONLY ONE way for SALVATION. And that is to believe and know the truth, that Christ was born, died, and rose again… but to have SALVATION, you must understand that this is YOUR STORY!

You died with CHRIST, you Rose with Christ, you are either ADAM or you are CHRIST!

THERE IS ONLY ONE!

JESUS, the FIRST BORN (AGAIN) among many brethren. The FIRST BORN from the DEAD (carnally minded/ignorant)

1 Corinthians 15:20
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of THEM (plural/risen humanity) slept.

The WORSHIP of the MAN JESUS, is one of the BIGGEST STUMBLING BLOCKS today. Almost a third of the world is tricked by this TAIL, of the DEVIL (carnal Mind)

Revelation 12:4
And his tail drew the third part of the stars (sons and daughters of God) of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

The LIE (Carnal mind’s thoughts) want’s to destroy the TRUTH and SPIRIT, BEFORE IT IS EVEN BIRTHED from WITHIN. The Dragon (Our Carnal Mind) does this with a FLOOD OF LIES.

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.

The carnal mind wants us to be carried away by these lies, so we will not plant our FAITH firmly on that ROCK (Christ). But the TRUTH of who we are doesn’t swallow this nonsence. The Earth (our soulish thinking) swallows it up, but CHRIST does not.

And this is why this morning finding this interesting footage of the SIX STORY TALL Jesus being struck by lightning is such a SIGN OF THE TIMES, that the END IS NEAR… And NO, I do not mean the end of the literal WORLD, but the spiritual world (lust of eyes, flesh and pride of life)

God was not, and never will be Jesus, or US for that matter. HOWEVER, WE CAME FROM THE FATHER (God) We have simply forgotten who we are in CHRIST (His HOLY SPIRIT – OUR TRUE NATURE) –

This is why scriptures states GOD WAS IN CHRIST(annointed of God) reconsiling the WORLD unto HIMSELF. Now, few know what RECONSILE really means. For one it means “to make up” sure. However, what is REALLY means is to “AGREE UPON” — You see Jesus, like us, LEARNS obediance through the things we suffer. God is IN US, reconsiling the LUSTS (WORLD) within us, unto God again. God turns us BACK to the TRUTH away from the LIES we have believed since being FORMED from the DUST (formed by our peers, experiences, etc)

But many can’t see past this IDOL of JESUS THE MAN. They don’t see, scriptures that clearly state…

2 Corinthians 5:19
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

So, what is this whole paper about. It is about showing you yet another SIGN in the temporal world. For awhile now, I have written about how God is taking away every lie, and idol, from mankinds hearts. He is doing this in every aspect of life, from religious, social, economical, to disasters, wars, etc… God is doing all for his good pleasure. He is RECONSILING mankind back to himself. The EARTH (literal earth) is going through these birth pangs with us. And one of the biggest idols standing in many “christians” way is the belief in JESUS AS GOD, worshipping an IMAGE OF A MAN.

When scripture clearly states, we are to MAKE NO IMAGE OF GOD, in the earth, above it, below it, in the sea… Because GOD is SPIRIT and cannot be SEEN, TOUCHED, TASTED, HEARD, OR SMELT. God is NOT in the sensual world, God is in the SPIRIT, which is none of these things.

So we must ask, why do people continue to make these statues of MEN (jesus) and call it God, when God says…

Leviticus 26:1
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

Well for awhile God winks at this. Silly Human Idols are for kids 🙂 But no longer, this is a new day my friends. Enter into it, with hearts open to recieve the truth of who you are, and the SAVIOR THAT IS ONLY WITHIN!

Because everyone of this world IDOLS is going DOWN! Now when you watch this video, please take into consideration what I have just learned from my dear friend Gary Sigler, http://sigler.org. He told me, his words, “You see this is what some churches do with the money you give them. That statue cost 500,000 dollars, and they plan on rebuilding it.”

Rebuilding Babylon at your expense, both spiritually and financially. Hey, Butter Jesus builders, try sending that money to those who need it, and grow up already! 🙂

Peace, Jacob

LAST RESPONSE TO SOME READERS

Hey everyone,

I approve a couple more comments from our brother Paul, from PathFromTruth.com… I think he was a bit grumpy when he wrote this. But this will be the last time I put a response up here, but really I just wanted to let Paul’s words speak for themselves. We need to LOVE, it is LOVE that draws a multitude to change. “If a man say he loves God, and hates his brother, the same is a liar”

So, I will only write these words here, and a short closing statement. This is a real short BLOG. MY FIRST. 🙂 I will let the HIGHLIGHTS of his latest comment speak for itself. Then I will no longer reply, because this morning I did such an awesome video I can’t wait to share it. Much love to you all, even Paul, Victor, Sara, and the rest of those from PathFromTruth.com.

This comment brought to you by Paul.

David, what good company is Jacob in, the one that includes rapist popes (if not literally raping children, then metaphorically the people), lying scoundrels (Benny Hinn), murderers (John Calvin), and false teachers of all kinds, whose one commonality is despising the cross of Christ, as you do, false accuser?


ANN JOHNSON…your heart is not right with God. you are dead and you follow the dead while aspiring to lead, or be venerated by, them.

Eric… after all your words, we still have no idea what Scriptures we teach from…your pretentious, wise-in-your-own-eyes prattle: Plainly, you have never known the Father. You certainly have nothing to do with the Lord Jesus Christ,

TJ, you don’t love us. How can you love us when you condemn us with LIES? you misquote us and twist our words, LIAR. Get behind us, liar, SPAWN OF SATAN!

JONNA, you have bought into the New Age and false gospel love of the WHORE, big time. Your HEART IS NOT RIGHTwith God.

David, what came forth from TJ was vile in God’s sight.

JACOB here…. If it ain’t love, it ain’t God. 🙂 I REALLY HOPE THAT NO ONE WHO READS THIS GETS ANGRY OR IS OFFENDED BY THESE WORDS PAUL WROTE. If you attack, when your attack, your guilty of the same. Instead let your LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE THE WORLD!

Check back when I post that video after work… My lunch break is over, thank our Father I ate before reading these comments. YUCK! 😦 Hey Paul, Victor, Sara, you’re all okay in my book, you might benefit by taking it down a notch or two or two million and try checking out 2 Timothy “A teacher should be gentle, long suffering, patient, not seeking to strive, with love, peradventure the teacher may turn them back to the Lord.” — Keep posting if you need too, but I hope you read a few as well. And understand, open arms are more inviting than a raised fist. Peace out!

Jacob

A RESPONSE TO A READER

A RESPONSE TO A READERS COMMENT

This morning, very early I found another email which was aimed at proving how wrong I was. An earlier email from this reader’s friend/ collegue, Victor stated I need to put on ashes and sackcloth and tear my blog down. He got real upset with one of my posts, or comments. Which is fine, each to their own. But instead of giving a long response to Sara in the comment section, I figured it was best to address her here. We may all learn something.

This all stemmed, when I stated to Victor, that if I was immature in my faith, his harsh comment would have kept me up all night worrying. I’ve been there, not a fun place to be, under the YOKE of another’s condemnation. But I no longer live my life that way. As you’ll see in this essay, I live my life and judge accordingly, if it ain’t love it ain’t God. This is why I thought it was so important to respond here. Because there are so many that are condemned and attacked when they step out of the box their religious leaders have put them in. I pray, that when the Victor’s and Sara’s of this world come to you and say, REPENT and put you under their control, you can step back and seek God for approval, not the Victor’s or Sara’s of the world for approval. The purpose of this blog, which Victor told me to tear down immediately (on God’s authority he believes he speaks from) is to encourage many to seek God and NOT MAN.

So, I wanted to put my response here because I have a feeling some good stuff may come out of it. I don’t deal with every jot and tittle of Sara’s email but I do overall deal with it. So please enjoy, my response.

DEAR SARA,

What a lot of thought and energy went into your comment. I commend your effort, I see you belong to the same belief system as Victor, “Pathfromtruth”, I believe it is… In any event, I thank you for your comments, it will give me the oppurtunity to grow in grace and learn. You know I could delete this comment and never let it see the light of day, but Sara I want everyone to see the LIGHT OF CHRIST.

Now it seems you, like your friend Victor really want to “rebuke me” or “put me in my place” saying who is right and who is wrong. I understand your need to do this. It is hard to hear things that are very different than you believe. The day of the Lord is a scary (not the way you think scary is) day, because truly the “fear” that is coming from it, comes only from the CARNAL Mind.

That’s right, I’ll state it again. In God there is no FEAR, condemnation, guilt, shame, etc. In the spirit of TRUTH and LOVE there is none of these things. When you are united with God, when you seek first the Kingdom of God, all your spiritual needs are met (there is nothing to “fear” then) –

In fact, I believe it is “fear” that has put you and Victor up to writing me. Because if you cannot prove me wrong (which isn’t needed with love, for I could be wrong, but I’m okay knowing God will correct me if and when I am). But if what I have written is TRUE, then the axe indeed has been laid to your roots and you have to change your beliefs. And who wants to admit they have been misled…. Well, I will. I have been misled for years. No longer, praise God.

So I think it is a great thing to see all the scriptures you posted on here. It will give me the oppurtunity ti show you how I see them. Not to prove you wrong, because even if I did, my words alone cannot change your heart, Only God Can.

Not everyone is on the same page yet, but I have faith one day we all will be. God makes everything beautiful in its time. So whether you are right or I am, really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. Because both of us will come to the Knowledge of the Truth and the stature of the perfect man. This is why I don’t worry about your comments, I seek God daily, always praying for the same thing, “teach me the truth, take away everything I believe that isn’t true, let me love and forgive, let me now the light, and be one with the light, to be a light in this world.”

Now this is a great lesson for me, because I like you at times, when I see others that are wrong I feel the urge to correct them, and we should correct people absolutely. But there is a right and wrong way to do it. So let us both pray that we know how to gently lead others to the truth, instead of bashing them, accusing them, and tearing them down. You don’t go to a homeless person and say, “YOUR A BUM, GET A JOB, YOUR LOST!” No, you say, “Let me help you find a home.”

Now you have stated that I have rejected salvation. That, I have to admit is a bit silly to me, considering I spend each day seeking God, knowing I have salvation and understanding what is truly is I am saved from. For one, I am saved from being yoked by religious people who codemn instead of save. (Jesus did not condemn others he came to save them. He came to give SIGHT to those that could not see (didn’t understand or claim to understand) and make blind those who did (thought they knew God = The Condemning Religious) – This is my prayer as well, I simply hope to inspire and encourage others, where so many have only beaten people to believe what they believe, I hope to heal and love and forgive and allow GOD to do his work, which I have complete faith in.

I want to RAISE UP CHRIST (THE WHOLE TRUTH) for the world to see, WITHIN ME, because I know CHRIST will draw ALL MEN.

But as for your many scriptures, which I will answer a few and not each one, as I do have LIFE. Notice I didn’t say a LIFE 🙂

Let’s go into your email a bit, perhaps we will all learn something from it.

First, let me point out the scripture I was referring to.

2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

So, God doesn’t give us this spirit. Which means, fear comes from another spirit giver (place of thought) = Carnal Mind.

This is why Jesus, was always saying BE NOT AFRAID, not of HIM, nor of God. That was ADAM’S problem, the carnal man FEARS GOD. Now look at that verse you quoted from one of the Gospels, I’ll use Luke’s. I believe you used this scripture as well.

4And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

FEAR HIM who has power to CAST YOU into HELL. Fear HIM! Now you mistakingly believe that is God. But it is not GOD that casts us into HELL, it is our VANITY that leads us there for CORRECTION. The Grave isn’t a bad thing, suffering teaches us to crawl out of our ignorant whole back to the light… But let’s look at the next line in LUKE, Jesus clearly once again tells them not to worry, that God is in control of their lives.


6Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. FEAR NOT therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

You see Sara, when we look at the whole scripture, clearly Jesus is not saying FEAR GOD, he is saying FEAR HIM who has power to cast you into HELL. The question is, who is that?

The answer is the CARNAL MIND, the LIE. The strange woman in scripture, that HARLOT, and yes the LIES OF THE RELIGIOUS, for they do indeed inspire FEAR.

You see it is UNBELIEF that brings you into the PITS OF HELL. It’s not God, it’s your self effort and vain attempt to be God.

Matthew 5:29
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell (the grave/death/ignorance).

If what you believe isn’t true, get rid of it, or you will suffer because of it.

Proverbs 5
1My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: 2That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. 3For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. 5Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on HELL.

When we listen to LIES, the end result is HELL/death/ignorance/suffering/the grave.

Now one could say, God does this, sure. But truly it is MAN that does this to himself, by seperating himself from the TRUTH. So of course, once you LEAVE the Kingdom of God (righteousness, peace, and joy) – you will be cast into HELL (Ignorant suffering)

Now, let’s look at the next verse in PSALMS you quote.

“And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall in wisdom think of His doing” (Psalms 64:9 MKJV).

The word FEAR in the HEBREW “Yare” means to to stand in awe of, be awed to fear, reverence, honour, respect.

You see, very big difference then how you have presented it here. As if all men are cowering because a vengeful God is standing above them, waiting to punish their every misstep.

What that verse really means, is this.

“And all men shall stand in awe, revere, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall in wisdom think of His doing” (Psalms 64:9 MKJV).

I stand in AWE of God, and REVERANCE God each and every day. And yes, I know once I leave that, I too, could suffer in the pits of hell. So I stay in scriptures that tell me “Be STILL and know that I am the Lord”, the THOUGHTS GOD gives are not ones of terror, but ones of peace.

We are not to be SCARED of our FATHER in heaven. MAN IS MADE in God’s image. Only an ABUSIVE PARENT a child is scared of. And God is LOVE.

Now let’s look at you’re next example,

“And hearing these words, Ananias fell down and expired. And great fear came on all those who heard these things” (Acts 5:5 MKJV).

Now, of course, ANANIAS DIED (he was ignorant of the Truth) – Ananias kept back part of the land, in other words he didn’t trust God was in control, this has nothing to do with literal money of course, it has to do with holding onto self effort and will. So when he “DIED” – Of course this inspired FEAR, “To be carnally minded is DEATH” – It was the CARNAL MIND of ANANIAS, HIS DEATH, that inspired FEAR. –

You see, most people who condemn in the name of God, and believe they are in control, and rely on “their” works and hold back part of the LAND (God’s temple) INSPIRE FEAR in those around them.

It’s interesting to point out that you are trying to prove that God wants us to be scared, ashamed, and guilty, as opposed to pointing to SALVATION – which is deliverance from ALL OF THAT. (which you said I don’t have)

Moving on to your next passage.

“And the man in whom the evil spirit resided leaped on them, and overcoming them he was strong against them, so that they fled out of the house naked and wounded. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks who lived at Ephesus, and fear fell on all of them, and the Name of the Lord Jesus was magnified” (Acts 19:16-17 MKJV).

Once again, I will say, YES being possesed by LIES will cause FEAR IN MANY. And this FEAR only MAGNIFIES the PEACE AND TRUTH of CHRIST. – Without the DARK how would the LIGHT be MAGNIFIED?

Next passage of yours.

“Well, because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be high-minded, but fear” (Romans 11:20 MKJV).

Once again, this word means fobeÑomai – “to reverence, venerate, to treat with deference or reverential obedience” The WORD ORIGIN actually speaks of REVERANCING a HUSBAND.

This is good advice, we shouldn’t be PROUD, and think we know it all, and I know there is even a good possibility that I could be wrong. But this is how I know TEST the spirits of God, if I don’t see LOVE, I don’t see CHRIST IN THE FLESH. And if I don’t see Christ than I know it is not truth.

Next passage of yours:

“For if I have boasted anything about you to him, I was not ashamed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting as to Titus became truth. And his tender feelings are more abundant toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, as you received him [a man] with fear and trembling” (2 Corinthians 7:14-15 MKJV).

Now here, the word FEAR, actually means FEAR.- FO/BOV = fear, dread, terror, that which strikes terror

But read that passage again. HOW DO MOST PEOPLE FIRST ACCEPT JESUS? That’s right with FEAR! Because they are taught this. Go up a couple of verse and see how PAUL is actually REJOICING, that NOW in their faith, they DON’T HAVE FEAR 🙂

1 COR 7:13 – Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

Paul is commending them, because at FIRST they were carnal scardey cats! But now they rejoice and are COMFORTED at THEIR COMFORT. – Hey don’t get me wrong, I was taught to be SCARED of God and Christ too, and this is ALSO how I first came to Christ, in FEAR AND TREMBLING. My carnal mind, however is what caused all of that, not GOD, for GOD DOES NOT GIVE US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR! 🙂

YOUR NEXT VERSE:

“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, cultivate your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12 MKJV).

Now for this above passage, please look at it in context. The first verse begins this way…

Phil 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

Here we see, he is saying there should be COMFORT, LOVE, FELLOWSHIP and UNITY.

Phil 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Have ONE MIND, next verse goes on to say…

Phil 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Including this back and forth, let it not be IN STRIFE of for VAIN GLORY, esteeming one knows better than the next. If truth be told, we are all ONE, and we should ALL UNDERSTAND as the next verse in PHIL states, that “It is God that works in us all for HIS GOOD PLEASURE”

It should never be about us, so YES, it is good advice to FEAR falling into these nonsence habits…. but once again, it does not mean that GOD GIVES US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR. They is nothing to FEAR but FEAR itself is basically the message here.

Now let me quickly address some of your other notes here.

“I will go; I will return to My place until they confess their guilt and seek My face; in their affliction they will seek Me diligently” (Hosea 5:15 MKJV).

We should confess, Lord I feel GUILTY, and this is why I feel this way… DELIVER ME. And you see how their GUILT caused them AFFLICTION. And YES, even our affliction, suffering, and pain, brings us to the TRUTH. In all things God is crafting our souls. But God wants us to ENTER HIS REST, and stop with all of that fear, guilt, shame nonsence… This is what it means to ENTER HIS REST, to KNOW GOD IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL.

To state that WE ARE in control, is the biggest of all SINS (foolish thoughts/ignorance)

Moving on to your next passages:

Shame

“Be righteously awake, and sin not; for some have ignorance of God. I speak this to your shame” (1 Corinthians 15:34 MKJV).

Of course, if you are IGNORANT of the TRUTH of GOD you wil have SHAME. Remember, it was SHAME that caused ADAM and EVE to hide and FEAR GOD. – Now without stating that we shouldn’t take the bible and turn it into an idol, as our forefathers, listen to the LAW OF THEIR HEARTS (Truth within) – I am not going to say that many translations are inaccurate and we should see God in all things instead, of a book. Because I love scripture, but I put my faith in CHRIST WITHIN, and scripture is good to help me along the way.

But I will say, that because of unbelief there is fighting, backbiting, debating, etc, I speak this to your “shame” – It is our SHAME that MAKES us fight to prove we are right. If we can prove we are right, then we won’t feel so insecure and insignificant. But when you are in the UNITY OF THE SPIRIT, you realize you don’t need to prove anything to anyone. You don’t need to be a man pleaser, but you seek God’s face (truth/wisdom/unity/relationship)

You see, you, like Victor, want to prove you are right and I am wrong. But, I merely write about what I am inspired to write. I don’t really have to prove whether these things be true or not. Let God be true and every man a liar. But if the spirit of unity and love and encouragement is not found in the body of someone’s rebuke, then we must question why.

Moving on with your email:

Back to me: So, there is a place for all these things – fear, guilt, and shame. They point the way, leading us to Christ. If we acknowledge (confess) the reality of our guilt and shame, this brings us to receiving the fear of God, which leads to salvation.

HERE I AM IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT WITH YOU! We must understand that our CARNAL NATURE, (who we think we are, or were) gives us fear, guilt, shame, and a lot of other terrible things, and we confess this, and say, IT IS NO LONGER THESE THINGS THAT LIVE but CHRIST, then we will find the PEACE that passes carnal man’s understanding.

Back to you again:

The fear of God forms the spirit of power and love and a sound mind, which spirit “Jacob Israel” claims to have, but he doesn’t, and he can’t, because he rejects that which brings one into salvation.

I have to STRONGLY disagree that FEAR, GUILT AND SHAME SAVES US. I would say, CHRIST SAVES, and to confess CHRIST is to depart from these EVIL thoughts. And it is not up to you, to say whether or not I am saved from fear, guilt, and shame. You cannot know if I be saved or not, because you are not me, or God. I can say, I have LIBERTY which is freedom and peace, and in many areas of my life I have been saved. My salvation is a daily thing, each day I work it out.

Your next passage:

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:7 MKJV).

I will admit, I believe almost everyone begins their journey toward understanding and truth being scared of God. That doesn’t mean, FEAR is of God. It means, you are FEARFUL (Men’s hearts fail them for FEAR) BECAUSE you are still IGNORANT, and have NOT YET BECOME WISE. So this in a matter of speaking would be the beginning of WISDOM, would it not?

Now, we know WISDOM is a TREE OF LIFE. And there is no FEAR in wisdom. Neither is there condemnation, no guilt, or shame.

Yes many people are scared of God, seeing God as a tyrant creating people destined for infinite torture, but this is but the beginning of their journey.

WE ALL DIE IN ADAM, but if by MAN came DEATH (fear, guilt, shame, ignorance, condemnation) by MAN will also come the ressurection into LIFE (TRUTH, LIFE, PEACE, AND A SOUND MIND)

Jesus constantly told his disciples FEAR NOT. There is a reason for that. It is because FEAR, SHAME, GUILT, CONDEMNATION is NOT from GOD. So when we get these feelings we KNOW to turn back to GOD.

I agree, that FEAR, GUILT, SHAME, ETC also brings us to God. If this were not the case, the creation would not be finished in victory. In ADAM all die, IN CHRIST all shall be made alive. All things work together, eventually.

So for you, Victor, or whoever else is apart of your site, fear, condemnation, guilt, and shame may be the God you worship, but me and my house (Temple) worship the God OF LOVE and TRUTH. I am not scared of my FATHER in HEAVEN, only those in the world have fear.

So, I don’t get upset when people come against what I have written. If it is not true, I have FAITH God will bring that to light, and he will do so LOVINGLY, or as I need if I be stubborn and ignorant. As a Father who LOVES corrects a young child who knows no better.

Here is your last line below: I have to say “Not nice :(”

“Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no latter rain; and you had a harlot’s forehead, you refused to be ashamed” (Jeremiah 3:3 MKJV).

Now your last passage here, basically is more fear tactics. Saying I have refused to be ashamed (I can only assertain, that you mean repent of what I believe)

Well, you’re wrong there, I have been ashamed in my life, many times. And still when I step out of line, I am ashamed, but I remember that IN MY FATHERS HOUSE all are provided for, and I leave the pig slop of fear, guilt, and condemnation, that the carnal religious teachers have fed me in years past for the LOVE, COMFORT AND TRUTH that only GOD PROVIDES.

So, Sara I say to you, choose this day which God you’ll serve. The one who condemns? Or the one who saves?

What you and Victor here have done, reminds me very much of what the Religious leaders of Jesus’ day did to him.

Luke 11
52Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. 53And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things: 54Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

Jesus said, you have one that accuses you already. Moses. If you live by the law, you die by it. If you are going to try and wait for me or anyone to write something that isn’t one hundred percent true, then find a better way to help that man, heal the withered hand, don’t stand around pointing saying, “I can’t heal on the sabbath”. Don’t condemn and attack, encourage and build.

2 Corinthians 13:11
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Instead of saying FEAR is what God wants, remember that GOD CASTS OUT ALL FEAR.

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

And as you can tell by my response to both you and Victor. I ain’t scared of you 🙂 But I loves ya, I loves ya so much that I hope we can agree that we all know in part, until that which is perfect is come. And when it is come (REVEALED) then there will be no more ACCUSING will there?

Revelation 12:10
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

I am FREE, but I will try to never allow my liberty to cause another to stumble. Think on these words, and I pray to hear from you again.

Peace Jacob
