The mystery of the body of Moses


Jude 1:9
9
But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"
Why did the enemy fight over the body of Moses?
Firstly the body of Moses was likely in dispute because none under the law of sin made their way into the presence of the Father. As we learned from Christ Jesus, none were ever in His presence except the one he sent down from His presence. The body of Moses was a crowning jewel for the Prince of this World because it is Moses who prosecutes/mediates all whom come to judgement under the Law. We know this from:
John 5:45
45
"But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set."
Moses led the hebrew slaves out of bondage to become a nation of God's chosen people. Moses, whom with also his brother Aaron; did miracles and wonders in the name of the Lord God Almighty. But yet Moses did not make it into the presence of the Father. None did.
Bringing us back to the enemy making claim of the body of Moses. Why did flesh become so worthy of intent? As we are but mist, ashes to ashes, dust to dust? What reason would there be to make claim or challenge over a body when it simply becomes the components it came from.
The body may be temporary, and is indeed corrupted. But the life that filled it is of the Spirit of God, His image. And that image was conceived into this temporary existence, into this perishing form. It is all of no consequence because none overcame death but one, the one whom God sent from his presence. And what we know is his form became something more.
Having defeated death, his form became the first ressurection, the first perfected form that was now no longer temporary, but, was the temple of holiness and eternally capable of acting on the will of God. And we are promised the same. We whom believe in the Son of God whom sits in an eternal realm aside the Almighty as His living Authority eternally.
So back to Moses. Let us assume Moses will be raised to join us as part of this nation of faithful. Let us assume his body is a part of this earth and his soul asleep until this ressurection begins. What is the reason for the claiming of the body by the enemy?
First to understand those whom were held in hades bound in death were freed by Christ. He defeated the enemy and broke the bonds of hades. So those whose human souls were bound in a state of no rest, were given over to sleep. There is no evidence of the souls of the perished skipping judgement and entering heavenly realms. It is more likely they sleep until they and all the faithful and wicked are awakened for judgement.
Yes, there is word that some of the recent dead were animated upon Christ himself becoming ressurected. But they did not ascend, and served only the purpose to fulfill prophesy. It can be assumed they too fell asleep, not unlike the raised form of Lazarus. No, the ressurection is still to come.
Moses will appear because his form was promised to the Son by the Father. And that promise was fulfilled when the Son overcame death.
Matthew 20:16
16
“So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
From Adam to those chosen whom are present at the moment it occurs. All will recieve equal pay for being of good and holy service in faith. Because the first were known before they were born and so were the last of us.
The enemy has no power over the image within us, only over what is placed in front of our body, our senses. We react. Everything we do that is not done in faith, is sin.
So we must remember that when we are shown our sin, to shake it off, giving thanks for grace showing us our trespass, and not allow our guilt from misgivings to replace faithful acts. Honor the truth by allowing it to live through you for others to be witness to your faithfulness. The reason it is said there is no condemnation for those in Christ, is because we are forgiven and the service we provide is faith.

You are known, loved.

Faith or Sin


Isaiah 26:1-2
1
In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city;
God makes salvation
its walls and ramparts.
2
Open the gates
that the righteous nation may enter,
the nation that keeps faith.
---
Galatians 3:7
7
Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.
---
Isaiah 11:12
12
He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.
---
The promised land, is not a territory with regulated borders. The promised land is a home for the children of God. The city itself will come from elsewhere. New Jerusalem.
---
Revelation 21:2-3
2
I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
3
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God himself will be with them and be their God."
---
"Sanctification is the act or process of acquiring sanctity, of being made or becoming holy. It is a gift given through the power of God."
Salvation is the sanctification of the faithful.
The city is based on the people and the prophesy. God fulfills prophesy and people that carry His faith our his children by it. New Jerusalem is God among the living.
It is important that people recognize that sin is not necessarily the act, as much as it is the lack of faith shown. Yes, we trespass against one another, but sin is spiritual, lacking faith to be committed. There is either faith or it is sin.
The faithful are humbled by what grace shows them. None are perfect, but the faithful do fight themselves to carry forward. I struggle, I struggle with lust and with hate. But what the tragedy is, is when I faulter, I feel I have let the Lord down. I feel I am no longer worthy.
The enemy knows that the battle is spiritual. It is on us to remember that. When I fall into my weakness, it is up to me to repent, and sincerely gather myself up and allow the redeeming qualities of the blood of Christ to realign me with the Father's will.
---
Deuteronomy 31:6
6
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
---
Last word, be gentle with yourself. Many of us are fearful of God, and that is healthy. But what is not healthy, is being hard on ourselves, when there is much we do not see that works against us. You could almost celebrate your weaknesses being tested because it shows you the enemy is threatened enough to act against you.
No, we do not continue to sin, but in the same respect faith has to be maintained moment to moment to honor God. It is our best effort to remain in denial of ourselves, because the more we walk with the Lord, the more grace shows us what poverty we reside in. We are only shown what we can handle, and there is always something more we can work on. So, what sin grace shows us, we should strive to leave behind.
It is not pork that is unclean, it is that those of the path of righteousness became unclean from eating it. It is not money that is unclean, but it is the acts we take with money that is the root of evil. It is not our sin, it is ours actions that displace us from faith.
---
Romans 14:23
23
But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
---

Pray on this, thank the Father for His Truth.

Faith or sin

Romans 14:23
23But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.


Everything that does not come from faith is sin.

What an extremely profound statement. So what is sin? Everything that comes from our reactions, everything that comes to be because of how we react to what is placed in front of us. Everything from our hearts and minds, everything that our bodies commit to. Everything that does not come from faith, is sin.

The context is based on eating what we believe to be clean is clean, and that if we eat what we carry guilt about, it is no longer clean. So we in this context, have to show confidence in what we believe.

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
We must be confident in what we do because our acts are in front of all of heaven. What we choose to do must reflect the holiness of the truth, which is recognized by the fruit it bears. Faithfulness is one of those fruit. Either we react to what is in front of us in the moment, or, we deny ourselves in the moment, so that the truth can live through us, acting on behalf of the will of God.

Everything that does not come from faith is sin. I would say everything done out of a reaction to what is in front of us, supplies the will of the enemy. And I would finish with; everything done by denying ourselves, allowing the Spirit of Truth to work through us by the kingdom of God, is holy and is the will of God.

We know we can not serve two masters in a moment of choice. We either serve our desires or we deny ourselves. One serves the will of the enemy and the other the will of the Father through His Truth. And again, how do we recognize the difference? What fruit is beared.

Sin is part of the corrupted state of being. We must constantly remain humble to this fact, and persevere in denying ourselves. There is nothing but suffering in denial of self, it is unnatural, it is the opposite of this meaningless existence. Take strength from knowing that others also suffer like you, to honor the sacrifice the Father made. Remain humble because none are without sin.

Last word? Be loving. If all else seems convoluted, and you are unsure what to do, put yourself aside and allow the Holy Spirit to place upon your heart the love you can share with others. Love is not human, it is of God, it is perfect and holy. Love denies self. Faith too, like love denies self, and instead honors God. And it is those acts God recognizes as righteous, because we are allowing His Holy Spirit to act through us. So he is not recognizing this physical form as righteous, no, the righteousness is His, and he recognizes His Spirit acting through us, Amen.

Let this settle on your heart.


The good shepherd

Hebrews 2:18
18
Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

---

The Son of God became less than the angels and equal in every way to man, so that he could be witness to the perishing form that death supplies. He was witness to how temptation, guides us by our reactions.

What could also be mentioned is that the devil, saught to convince Jesus that he could have authority over the perishing if he would only honor death's authority. Of course, in the end; Jesus the Son of God overcame the Law of sin and death and defeated the enemy, gaining the keys(authority) over death because it was the Father's will.

Isaiah 14:12-15
12
How you have fallen from heaven,
morning star, son of the dawn!

You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!

13
You said in your heart,

“I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.

14
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”

15
But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.

---

The enemy tried to convince the Son of God to test the Holy Spirit, to do his own will, and to gain strength from the flesh. Those examples speak much about the enemy's motivation to subvert. Our enemy does not just take, sometimes he offers great things in order to derail us from the will of God.

Which brings the reason of this understanding. We are nothing without a Shepherd. We can not decipher what is holy, without the truth living through us. What we think is a blessing can easily be a curse. What we think is favor could easily bring condemnation. What we consider comfort may be in itself damning. Unless we deny ourselves, we are open to the blinding darkness and guided thereby our reactions. That is the will of the enemy.

We can have confidence that the Holy Spirit will put words on our heart and mind when we need it and holy fruits will work through us to serve others in selfless ways. Otherwise we are only doing what suits our desires and calling it good. The extent of the corruption is so great. That most of us will have to rely on mercy at judgement. Only a chosen few over the eons will be rescued from condemnation. Everyone else must rely of the Father's mercy.

Keep your repent sincere. Forgive trespasses. Be loving. Show mercy. Be charitable. And if it is in you, thank the Father for His Son.

Sin and Judgement


It is said that judgment will be complete.
Judgment; is literally waiting for us in the moment. Judgment is perfect and eternal. Meaning, judgement is something we walk into; timeless, as is God.
The moment of the sin was decided before the sin is acted on. Because the sin itself is in moment that is known in heavenly realms before it is even placed in front of us. Yes, there is a choice to be made, but whatever choice you make only honors yourself, and the will that led you to it. Faith is not defined by choices nor by understanding. Faith only occurs by the Father's will, and only if you have revealed the truth. So we walk into moments where sin is established in the form of choice.
Until Jesus was sent upon the world, knowledge of good and evil was acknowledged by what is termed the Law. The Law defines sin, it did not overcome it. So this is why the Hebrews believed and worked towards the goal of the way of righteous living. So they could walk into each moment being knowledgeable of sin, and therefore capable of acknowledging it with their choices and understanding. They were not able to remove sin from the moment, no. They were only equipped to recognize it, and appeal to the Father for forgiveness.
Jesus came to fulfill what the Law, and what prophesy; made a path for. Prophesy was the Almighty God's authority, spoken through an individual. Prophesy supplied those in the time of Law, direction. The Law did not overcome sin, but it did make sin known. Prophets and the Law were supposed to; develop in a way for the Hebrews to begin to rely on faith, instead of knowledge. Faith is from God: holy, and by acting on it; shows a confidence in the unseen quality of God, and by it, sin in the moment can be overcome; which shows righteousness to be of the Father.
Jesus is the Truth. Jesus said if you do not deny yourself, you cannot (be a disciple of Truth.) The only way to overcome sin that is sin before you, is to go into moments, not on your own reactions but by allowing the truth to instead live through you. Because the truth only does the Father's will. And it is our reactions, and our choices; that cement judgement in the moments put before us. If you walk into any moment going forward without the truth in your heart, judgment is waiting. Amen
We do not have a will of our own. Either we do the will of the prince of this world, or we deny ourselves and allow the truth to live through us, and walk in confidence of that way. Because the truth came from the Father, and the truth returned to Him as well. The Spirit of Truth is the only way to acknowledge the Father's will. In this form we react to what is set before us; moment to moment. Sin is in a moment and our choices define our judgement.
The only way to overcome judgement is by believing Jesus did the will of God. He defeated the will of the master of this world. He overcame the eternal judgement, by doing His Father's will.  The sin that was waiting for him, he did not react to, instead he overcame himself by maintaining his love for the Father with all his heart and mind, body and soul.
So of course we sin, none of us can maintain the will of God moment to moment. But we have forgiveness of tresspass and we also forgive trespass, both from the recognition that we are unable to overcome sin, nor is anyone else able to. All we can do is deny ourselves, and serve one another in selfless ways. It is in that service, that we deny our selves for the sake of others, and are then capable of acknowledging the Father's will by His Truth. We know we do His will, by the fruit it bears: love kindness gentleness faithfulness self-control peace patience goodness and joy.
Judgement is not coming, it already begun when Adam and Eve were cast into the world. Judgement is upon us. Perhaps those words carry new depth for you now.

May this open you up to an understanding that honors the Truth and glorifies the kingdom by which the Spirit of Truth bears fruit through your selfless service in the Father's will.

More than Conquerors

Romans 8:31-40
More Than Conquerors
31
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
33
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
34
Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
36
As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

----

A Conqueror is a person who gains something by force. In God's purpose, we are more than conquerors.

If God wanted life to conquer life, he would have willed his Son destroy like the flood did. But instead the focus became the spiritual war, the battle against wickedness in heavenly realms.

It was poor ministry, and the will of man, that used violence to conquer. And in the name of Jesus they deceived. Since the sacrificial lamb of God was hung and died on the cross, the old mediation of an eye for an eye has been replaced with a gospel of love.

More than conquerors means we are like the one we carry the Spirit of inside us. The Spirit of Truth was left to those who believe in the risen form of the Son of God. It is by his authority alone that we can approach the Father to do His will.

36
As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."

We are not a weapon of justice, we are a beacon of loving sacrifice. We turn the other cheek, we clothe and feed our enemy, we deny our desires. We show that we honor the cost of our redemption with our acts.

We are more than conquerors because what we gain is done in a way that shows the Father's sacrifice to be righteous. Amen.

Prayers: The words placed on our hearts

The Holy Spirit puts the words in our prayers. When we are sincere, and the repent is a spiritual repent, not a selfish request. The Holy Spirit intercedes and put the right words on our hearts for us to voice in prayer, whether a silent prayer or out loud.

This is exactly how tongues is explained. It is not coming from us in the physical, no. It is coming through us, by the kingdom of God, and imparted to us frim the Holy Spirit. Tongues is a gift of the Holy Spirit. It is not for our benefit, but foe those who hear it. Does that sound like anything else we know comes from the Holy Spirit? Yes. The fruit of the Holy Spirit also come through us, and serve others, not ourselves.


The Kingdom of God is a spiritual setting witin the living. By the kingdom we seek and receive in full. What we receive serves others, trwating them as we would have ourselves be treated, amen. You cannot find the Kingdom within you without putting yourself aside. You cannot find the kingdom with denying yourself to do so. The Kingdom of God can not be reproduced or made to serve the will of the one who seeks it. *It is recognized as the Spirit of the One whom sent it.*

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. The Truth is the living form of the Word of God. The Truth is the one and only Son of God who is the first ressurected form, the now living; Word of God. He sent down this Holy Spirit which recognizes those whom carry the Truth in them. By the kingdom; the Holy Spirit acts through these individuals, and these individuals act through this Holy Spirit by the Kingdom in the service of others. They are in the truth, and the truth is in them. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth.

When we pray, we should be praying for others. Yes, you can pray for yourself, but if it is for worldly things, you know it is your will you are serving, you whom you are concerned for. We all have done it. But the good prayer is the prayer that comes from a heart desperate to forgive someone, deaperate to have patience, desperate to love an enemy, desperate for suffering to end for someone who needs prayer. *When we pray, like when we act, we should be doing the will of God, which we know begins and ends with the Truth.* We cannot approach the Father except through His Truth.

We know that under the Law those who walked the path to righteousness were only recognized as acting in righteousness when they had confidence in God. Faith, is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, it is of God, not man. So when faith comes through us, it is because we recognized the Father through His Truth.

That means that the kingdom of God was available to those under Law, but they did not seek to do His will, they sought to claim rigteousness through perfect knowledge of good and evil. But it was always God who was righteous. It took John the Baptist in the Spirit of Elijah to come and make their crooked was straight; to cleanse and repent of their sin, and deny themselves. In so doing, they could begin to see it was not their acts that became holy, but instead, holiness that acted through them serving the will of God in a selfless  manor.

Jesus after receiving his annointing, only did his Father's will. And because of this, the power of God worked miracles and wonders through him for the sake of those who were witness. Just like the tongues the disciples spoke at Pentecost, the gifts of the Holy Spirit are to be witnessed, and glorified as the Power of the God of the living.

As for us, the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit act through the servants of the Truth by the Kingdom of Heaven. These fruits and gifts are holy and complete, as they are in heaven. And our prayers of sincerity as individual who have died of this world so the truth can live through us; our prayers serve the will of God.

Amen.

The Truth of Love

It is without purpose to love your friends and family. Even pagans and the wicked show love for their own. Purpose is found in loving your enemy. And the only way to love your enemy is to treat them as you would have yourselves be treated.

Who is your enemy? Anyone you would naturally treat less than yourself. Anyone who threatens your natural comforts in emotion and in knowledge. Your enemy makes you react to them through actions that honor themselves. Which is exactly how we make them react; through actions that honor ourselves.

Love is the path to peace that is holy. Any other path to peace relies on some form of oppression or control. There is no truth in inequality, there is only compromise. So we know that the correct path to peace, true peace, includes loving one another, by treating them as we would have ourselves be treated.

Are Christians the only ones capable of this? No.
Are those of others religions capable of this? No.
Are individuals able to deny themselves for the sake of others? Yes.
Is there ine specific example of this that can be seen as the way to holy love and holy peace? Yes.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Christ Jesus is not a religion. Christ Jesus is the Truth. Him be sacrificed is the example of the Way of love. Believing in this sacrifice, is how we honor the Life we have been given. Life is spiritual, not physical.

Treat others how you would have yourself be treated. This; on a global scale, creates a balance that honors God and His sacrifice. If we learn this lesson and act on it, we will have true peace, and joy among us. Peace and Joy, are not attributes of the flesh, they are attributes that the Life inside us feeds off of, recognizes. The Spirit of Truth is holy and complete, and the life inside us is of that Spirit.
The life inside us; in each of us, is the same. So to then treat one another differently, is wholly and completely based on the physical world and the flesh. Yes, people who do not know the Law, do not comprehend sin. Yes, people of the Law make judgements solely on their knowledge of righteousness. Yes, even Christians have chosen to act in defense of themselves, honoring a piety that is purely self providing. But love, love can overcome all these.

Treating others as you would have yourselves be treated, is not a political declaration, or a religious stipulation. No, it is a spiritual elevation. An elevation that every living soul can adhere to. And the only way we learn is by seeing others set an example. We follow. Jesus knew this. He only did his Father's will, because he loved Him.

We are capable of having holiness work through us, when we deny ourselves. We all have attributes that we consider strengths. These strengths or 'differences' do indeed define us in the world, but they in no way honor God or His Truth. We can put aside our strengths, our empowered states of being, so to treat equally our enemy whom makes us react to them through actions that honor themselves. It is loving to refrain from actions that honor our natural selves. Yes, God created us as equal, but only in Spirit is this true.

The world and the flesh respond to power which only recognizes strength and weakness. The knowledge of good and evil only recognizes power. So it is only through denial of power, that we find love that is true.
Be loving of your enemy. Your enemy makes you react to them through actions that honor themselves. Which is exactly how we make them react; through actions that honor ourselves.


And lastly, thank the Father for His Truth, that came at a great cost, an eternal example of His Love.

The Nature of the Flesh

In our time they have confirmed that the flesh is in itself an organ. It is integral in the cooling and heating of our bodies, as well as housing our stimulus via our nervous system, and our external physical senses. It could be said that our instinct is a summary of any culmination of sensory input added to our collected knowledge of good and evil.

Having now identified the flesh as the physical foundation of our knowledge, it is easy to look at desires as familiar comforts, sensory based understanding. These understandings could even be considered atttributes of our character, likes and dislikes, passions and hatreds, fears and comforts. Our emotions are actually reactions to these understandings as we develop. That is why we seem to mature emotionally. Our emotions are simply reactions to our constant adaptation to our understandings which are based on what is placed in front of us.

Life begins at conception. Life, is spiritual. Life is not a development, life is not reproduced. Our host, this body, reproduces cells immediately after conception. That act of reproduction of cells is mapped out by the genetic code of the parent cells involved. But what is not necessarily understood, is that life causes cells to develop as a reaction to the perishing nature of time. Cells reproduce as a reaction of defense, not to create themselves. Creation is spiritual, and founded on what we could soul, which is life. All that lives came through the Word. The Word is Life.

We are in the image of God. It has been carried forward that the flesh is that image. I suggest to you, this is not the case. The image of God is spiritual and the spiritual image of God is formed out of requirement, not out of development. What that means is, cellular mitosis,  genetic mapping, and physical development are all physical symptoms of life's reaction to time and space. The life that is imparted at conception; is spiritual. Life is in the image of God.

God is unseen. His Authority is His Word, which has brought perfection to the form by defeating death. Thus, requirement meets the physical in the ressurected form. What this means is, the flesh will no longer desire what knowledge found comfort in, because the flesh will be founded on the truth of life instead of it's reaction to death. We will no longer be led by our desires to do the will of those wicked being in heavenly places. Instead, our desires will glorify the will of God in His presence.

Life will no longer be cultivated to bear fruit that honors the will of the prince of the earth. Life will instead be the cornerstone of the kingdom of heaven that each individual which carries the truth, will act on. Otherwise, those who stay commited to their reaction to the flesh, will remain in reactions instead of requirement. The life in them will always desire, not knowing completeness, not knowing peace.

An eternity of damnation is very likely having desires and no will to react to. A darkness with no light. As a matter of fact, Christians go through this when they die of specific desires so that the truth mag instead live through them. They find they suffer those desires, while the will that fed those desires has been shown in grace as the will of the enemy to lead them by their poverty, their flesh. It is quite disturbing, just like what is mentioned in the gospel of Thomas.

So what does this tell us? It tells us that the flesh is very much a part of our deception. Adam and Eve found themselves naked after the flesh was left to react to what was placed in front of their senses. From that point till this moment, the flesh can be seen as the poverty that houses life, which is great spiritual wealth. We must attempt to recognize the unseen, act by it, and realize that life is spiritual and common in us all. That simple understanding, attached to the command from Jesus to love, both the Father, and one another; brings us closer together in holy ways.

The enemy relies our flesh reactions. Our emotions, our desires, and our knowledge of good and evil. All of these disguise the truth with lies.

Prophetic dream and the explanation


DREAM
He said, 'Kill one and they will pray.'
'What are they?' I remember thinking.
He answered not with words, 'They are termites.'
The tree was to the left of the Hindu's yard. His house and yard were like a perfect 1950s setting, everything well painted and groomed.
The running stream of water seemed to come from under his yard. It seemed to have eroded the soil around the base of this tree only, so that the tree's root system was exposed. The reddish clay that was encased by the roots, gave off capsules one at a time that plunged into the water. They were at least 10 inches. (Everytime)
When the capsule fell into the water the hindu man who was the owner of the property he plunged his right hand into the water and took the termite. When I arrived I actually saw him come from his house in his nice normal pants and shirt. He seemed to be doing this for me to witness. He boldly entered the wooded area and straddled the waters. He watched the capsule fall into the water and then he snatched it out. He then held it with two hands and snapped it in half and it broke hollow. There was ten L shaped forms that fell out into the water and then he cast the two pieces of the now dead termite into the water. He looked up at me who was at the side of the river and he said in a deep and very intense voice: ' kill one and they will pray. '.
I had the distinct impression he was demonic. And what he was doing was a control factor. Like an action that created a predetermined situation.
He had a wife and a young boy who were standing behind him to my right. They were on the grass of a normal house and were silent and stood together fearing what he was involved in. They remained silent. I felt their desire to have him stop doing what he seemed passionate about being a part of, which was basically waiting for each termite that the tree dropped, so he could break it open and make more L shaped things that would then pray from the water they were poured into.
I was actually standing on a flat clean paved street side. The tree was in what seemed like a dense jungle of greenery and vines and trees, not like I am used to, more like a tropical jungle. I was suprised the Hindu man was willing to jam him hand into the waters, the water seemed itself to be a consuming and wild thing. I went to see all this happening from a neighborhood of normalcy. I did not live there, I just was there.
The tree and the rolling water were all the same flesh color, like a wet flesh tone clay. It was like the tree was a living thing. I remember feeling shocked and unwasy seeing these capsules slowly being revealed by the eroding from the water. And then seeing them dropping into the water felt like that is what the water expected, like it was eroding the clay on purpose so these termite things would fall into the water.
The water and the tree both seemed to be aware of each other. The man lunging his hand to grasp the capsule was violating the natural course of the 'termites' life cycle, or purpose.
I have no idea what he meant about the L shaped ten praying because he 'killed the termite'. And it was nothing like a termite. It looked almost like a grasshopper than was all naturally in stasis in this capsule state of being. But when he broke it in half it was basically hollow with these 10 Ls falling out into the water independantly. The one capsule that I witnessed him break open left the ten Ls to fall into the water, but the flow if the water did not effect them, instead they seemed to be wading in one place, basically looking up? at the man. No sounds, and it was then he said, kill one and they will pray.
EXPLANATION
The 'termite' was a lie.
Grasshoppers were locusts.
Locusts glean all greenery till a tree is left bare.
The locusts represent the plague.
The plague is the removal of hope.
The tree is the life force of mankind in creation.
The ten Ls are ten lies, lies that are used to maintain the destruction of the tree.
The tree is like the Law of the Bible.
The river is death the constant force of destruction, an undercurrent of creation.
The ten Ls are the ten lampstands which are the ten churches.
The ten Ls were poured into death from the plague that removes hope for the living.
The calling the locust a termite was a lie to explain that the truth was being purposely kept hidden.
The man was the action of disrupting the natural course of death, he was trying to reveal the purpose God has; which is stripping away the self righteousness of those who deny the truth, and render judgement on those ten churches, which are in fact heavenly forces.
The Man was not the truth, he was instead the force of knowledge of good and evil; personified. He represented this meaningless existence, and his actions where in an attempt to uncover reason. His actions showed him nothing, because he did not understand purpose, because was not shown the will of God.
The Ls remain unseen in their actions against the Law set forth, because they were of the earth before the Law was put in place. So although they can not be judged by their sin, they are instead judged by their claims of righteousness.
The Ls did not float away in the current of the water, nor did they sink. They instead stayed at the surface and remained in place. They seemed to be staying in the presence of the man. This is because that is what they were commissioned to do, they were all part of the world that feeds on the physical and honors only what it can react to.
The spirit in heavenly places used mankind by leading them by their desires. In this way, mankind was led to do these spirit's will. They remained unseen; while using creation to cause man to react by what was placed in front of them.
'Kill one, and they will pray' was mankind's reaction to the ten churches having authority over them. Man becomes the destruction force that is life acting against itself. This way the spirits of wickedness in heaven used mankind to do what they saw themselves creating their own authority that they believe gave them strength over the living, making them like God. In essence the used death as a control factor over the living.
So that is what those before the Law and those who do not acknowledge the truth that fulfilled the Law, are being judged of. And those who knew better but remained in their understanding whether in heaven or on earth, will be judged according to their acts. Acts that used the knowledge of good and evil to their own ends, ( their own reasons that ultimately will be seen as God revealling them).

The family on the lawn are the product of the flesh who are innocent, but are witness to the aspects of unnatural death to maintain authority over the flesh.

Sincerity and Council

Psalm 51:3
3
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.

---

David wrote this. They say the 51st psalm is in regards to David's repent of adultery with Bathesheba. But let us, for a moment, take what we think we know; and put it aside. Let us instead look at what God is doing inside David, to his heart and his mind.

1. David is saying he knows what acts he has done.
2. David is also saying he carries those acts forward with him.

The Truth, that is: the Lord, is the authority which the Holy Spirit acts on. The Spirit of Truth. And it is through the Holy Spirit that the Father acknowledges our repent.

The Holy Spirit senses our sincerity, recognizes our willingness to put our own understanding aside, and instead seek in faith what is unseen. Seeking what is unseen, is a confidence that we know defines faithfulness in part. So, the Spirit of Truth is acknowledging this sincerity, and the conscience of David is putting it to words.

For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.

What I am attempting to bring to light is; while we feel that our repent is ours, I am suggesting our repent is better understood as the Spirit of Truth recognizing our sincerity, and putting it to words, even moans, that the Father will acknowledge. Basically, this gives weight to the Holy Spirit being our council. We supply the sincerity, and the Holy Spirit recognizes it, and provides us with a council that speaks through us by the kingdom.

Ours is a merciful God. That mercy is there for all of mankind. But that mercy is not always honored with a repent. And, if there is no sincerity, the repent is not brought to the Father, because the Truth will not recognize the Spirit by which it came.

Since the mediation changed, it is no longer a physical action to be cleansed of sin. Since the mediation changed, we now understand it is by faith alone that we are saved. And that faith is the same faith David showed, Abraham showed, Noah showed, and all the rest of our spiritual family showed. Our faith is again founded on a sincerity in purpose, and a confidence in acting on it. Christ Jesus gave us that opportunity, and the Spirit of Truth is the council we have to direct our repent in a way the Father recognizes.

The Holy Spirit had the prophets back in the day, but it always spoke through the faithfil, Amen.
---
The rest of Psalm 51 really speaks of how David was faith based, but in a time of Law. I am going to share with you the full Psalm, perhaps to only give weight to the power the Holy Spirit showed even in David's day.

Psalm 51

1Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
2Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
3For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
4Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight;
so you are right in your verdict
and justified when you judge.
5Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
you taught me wisdom in that secret place.
7Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
10Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
so that sinners will turn back to you.
14Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
you who are God my Savior,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17My sacrifice, O God, is b a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.
18May it please you to prosper Zion,
to build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,
in burnt offerings offered whole;

then bulls will be offered on your altar.

Faithful Servant
Luke 17:7-10
7
“Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’?
8
Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’?
9
Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do?
10
So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’ ”
---
This is one of my favorite passages, because it speaks of the depth we are to take our faith. We are not in any way perfect, but what can come through us, if we allow the truth to do the Father's will; is. Our acts can serve well the will of God, when we have put ourselves aside. So what servant then can have expectations, when what is done through them is not of them?
Our service honors the one who leads us to still waters. And he himself serves the will of the one whom sent him. Until we hear trumpets, we continue to be diligent, that is; we continue to serve in a selfless and loving way.
So what do we say? That loving the enemy and loving one another; shows our master that we can work without expectations, as we have faith in our true value to him. Remember: he has been promised us by the Father. We are his spiritual family.
We should place no expectations on one another, and have no expectations of recognition or reward for our acts that are indeed attaches to our faith that the truth is within us, and, we are the body of that truth.

Be blessed.

Rescued



Colossians 1:13
13
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.

2 Corinthians 1:10
10
He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us

Psalm 82:4
4
Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked

Galatians 1:4
4
who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father.

---

It is of the Father's good will that we be rescued.
Those who keep to Him, either by His Truth living inside them, or because it is His will they be rescued. Either way, His eye is on those who hold purpose.

We are in a world where death claims the innocent, sometimes even before they are born. Death is common to all. But we also know that death cannot remain where the light is, nor can it linger. Where God has purpose, we can fearlessly tread. Death has no power against the will of God.

But, death takes the weak and the powerful, the wealthy and the needy. From death there is no rescue. But, it is after death, that the Spirit of Truth gathers those whom were promised. After death, comes judgement so that mercy can be shown for those whom mercy is due. After death my friends, is life eternal.

*So the final rescue; includes death.*

Comfort through prayer

This is about finding comfort, and sharing it too.

2 Corinthians 1:3,4
3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
4
who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

---

There is a lot to be said about those two little verses.

When Jesus went into seclusion, leaving town, or going up the hill; he spent his time seeking the Father. He did not go up there to meditate, or even to decompress. No, he went to pray, and seek the Father *for comfort*.

When we are suffering, it does not subside. Sleep only delays it at best. It festers, and grows into a mountain that blots out the sun. Suffering does not find comfort in decompression or from meditation. Those things are for the physical body and mind, not the soul. No, our comfort comes in prayer, or in some cases focussing on holy scripture or passages of testimony. But for the sake of this context, we will say just prayer is necessary. (Jesus did not carry around dozens of scrolls to read from. And we rarely bring our bibles to work.)

The Father makes a point of over and over again having us come to Him. Jesus did, so should we. It is an act of faith to pray, and that faith can move the mountains that blot out the sun, and can cast them away. The Father looks at prayer as a righteous act, because faith is His. Faithfulness is afterall a fruit of the Holy Spirit, not a state of human conscience. Faith is of the Father, it is of the power of His Holy Spirit.

So we can say in confidence that there is power, holy power in prayer. And for that holiness to work through us, what do we know? We know that we have to set ourselves aside so that the Truth can live through us. As we know also that no kne can come to the Father except through that Truth. Right? Yes.

Comfort is derived from faithfulness.

When we have that comfort, others in suffering see it, and recognize it as power over our circumstances, Amen. And that is being a beacon in the darkness, setting an example for others to follow. When we seek the Father in our suffering, the comfort we receive is power that others want for themselves also.

As Christians; we treat others as we would have ourselves be treated. So when we receive comfort feom seeking out the Father, we bring that to others who suffer. We pray for each other:

James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to each other *and pray for each other so that you may be healed.* The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

James calls a person righteous, which is not possible without honoring the Law. But God sees acts faithfulness, and calls it righteous, and as I said earlier, prayer is a faithful act. So in that context, it is better said: *prayer by one who carries the truth within them; is righteous, as it is the power of God.*

Comfort by seeking the Father. Hours before his arrest, Jesus left to be alone, and prayed. He knew what was about to happen, and he even spoke of it to the Father, in a way that confirmed the commitment of the Father to fulfill His own will. Jesus was sent an angel to help him pray, to strengthen him. This is how the power of God works. It is complete, and it is ours through His Truth, when we deny ourselves and allow that perfection to reside within us.

We suffer because we are no longer of this world. Although we still sin, although we still are tempted, and although grace is a progress, we are still not what we were in the dark. We suffer because we deny ourselves, so that the authority that knows the Father's will; can work through us. And Jesus suffered, and therefore, so do we.

But seeking the Father in prayer is what Jesus did to find comfort, so we know that is what we are to do. And the comfort we receive is like a treasure, a drink of water in thirst, a piece of bread in hunger. And we share that comfort with others by praying with them, or over them, or for them.

Amen.

When faith surpasses knowledge

Psalm 82

A psalm of Asaph.

1
"God presides in the great assembly;
he renders judgment among the “gods”:

“How long will you defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?

3
Defend the weak and the fatherless;
uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.

4
Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

5
"The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.

They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken."

6
"I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’

7
But you will die like mere mortals;
you will fall like every other ruler.”

8
"Rise up, O God, judge the earth,
for all the nations are your inheritance"

---

Does the Father defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?

Enoch points out the eternal angels that corrupted the earth were returned to heaven because they were from there, and their half human / half angelic children could not enter heavenly realms because they were not eternal, not could they just die because they were not mortal. So they lay bound and buried until the day of rekoning, and their makers remain condemned in heavenly places, also awaiting their imminent judgement.

What is not pointed out is timing is the Father's. Even His Holy One does not know. So we must remain steady, and abide. Which is something I personally struggle with. I want to go home.

The children of Sodom and Gamorah have flourished in our generation. They all are of a vine apart from the Father. They are the wicked and they bring judgement upon themselves and those they mislead. They are enabled by these fallen angels, these 'lesser gods'. These creatures are strong, and empowered, they thrive in the flesh and in the world, as they are not of the Spirit.

The Father is just. This means where there is mercy it is founded, and where there is condemnation it is founded. Having said that, this psalm demands of the Father; 'how long'. Well, the answer is however long it takes for judgement ti be founded; complete.

We know the Father hears the cries of the weak and the needy, the widow and the orphan. We know that these silent whispers of the heart are like bellowing wails in heaven. The Father may not defend them in this existence, nor rescue them in this time; but His mercy will defend them in eternal ways and his mercy will serve justice in eternal ways that show them favor. The Father is just.

I can say that the wickedness in heavenly places do rock the foundation of the earth. But that is more poetic than the reality we share. The foundations of the physical separate two distinct formations of the unseen. Genesis calls them the waters, which is a metaphor for 'derived from'. The two waters are as much a part of creation as the physical which is metaphorically called 'land'. The heavens are separated by the earth. The earth being like a great divide that none from either side can cross except the one whom they came into existence through; the now living, Word of God.

*The children of the Most High who lead the flesh to do their will, are like children, who act out of requirement, not knowing the truth, lacking completely in understanding. They founded instinct, they developed ego, they perpetuated fear and desires. This existence is the culmination of the knowledge of good and evil that polarizes itself, like a reflection of the truth that is solely based on disobedience. As faith is the foundation of obedience, and they denied the Father, and so the emmanate that rebellion.*

We know that the heavens and the earth are going to be destroyed, and a new and singular heaven and the new earth will replace them. There will be no memory of this, and the wickedness of the fallen angels, their children, and those they mislead, will all be consumed and forever dead. This is considered the second death. And the inheritance promised to the Word will remain with him in the paradise that his authority will reign over forever and ever.

The Father is just.

Christians and the LGTBQ movement

Galatians 5
14
For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
15
If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
17
For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.
18
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20
idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21
and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
---

With the social climate we live in, many believers have already found a difference of opinion between the children of the world, and themselves. But they might be interested to know that those under law, basically speaking of those practicing Judaism, do not acknowledge:
For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other.

It is only those who believe in Christ, and deny themselves to instead have the Spirit of Truth work through them, that have the daily bread of holiness come through them by the kingdom of God. Otherwise all who remain are either under the law and claim righteousness in their own acts, or, the rest of the living world whom do not know the law so are not considered sinners, as they do not know what sin is.
Which brings us to this statement:

14
For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
15
If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

I have, in the last two decades; seen so called Christians deny access, to their churches and schools, to those who live in sin. From adulterers, to alchoholics to homosexuals, all turned away from worship. This because those in the church feel they deny themselves and lay that expectation on those who come to worship. But in truth we know we all sin, and that hypocrisy, that sense of piety, has no place in a gathering of those who would claim the truth is in them.

The complications come with issues that already exist. For example churches allow women to remarry into adulterous relationships, women minister, churches sell goods, most worship a cross, if not stone and wooden idols, some pray to idols and the dead, and some houses even prescribe penance and dole out forgiveness like it was their authority to do so. All these things and more, yet none give everything to live through the church and for one another, so the hypocrisy is palletable.

Then there is the personal reactions of those who use passages of the bible to support their personal will. Very much like Galatians 5 is used to describe what 'is considered wrong'. But the truth is, what is described is only contrary to the Spirit, and only those who live by the Spirit live contrary to the flesh.

So again, we see that personal bitterness, envy, even hatred; are harvested by those who claim to have the truth in them, but yet are failing to uphold the primary command:  “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Having said that, we were warned, that if we don't act in a loving way, we will find those whom we mistreat, we bring about our destruction: If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

So it is not so much that LGTBQ type folks are ruining or destroying peoples beliefs, they are in fact unaware of the sin they are in, they still work under the natural law of eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. While we as Christians are told to turn the other cheek, and to love the enemy.

So what do we say going forward? We are called to be loving. We are called to set an example of how we want to be treated. We are not here to judge, we are here to allow holiness to work through us. We are beacons of behavior; that deny themselves, that suffer for the sake of Spiritual development, instead of celebrating the empowerment of the flesh. And most importantly, in our self denial we do not set expectations on one another, only encouragement. None of us are sinless.

Yes, there are circumstances where we have to explain why our beliefs have to deny certain requests, like same sex marriages under God, or the education of gender ideals that support sexual dysphoria and instead of denial of the flesh altogether unless for reasons of procreation.

But that brings up a different lesson. If what we eat in front of another hurts their beliefs, it is on us to stop. Similarly, if same sex couples holding hands or kissing at church functions / worship times hurts others in their beliefs, it is reasonable to ask them to refrain. But that is a religious and spiritual lesson that has no place in out culture or society. We who carry the Truth, suffer. Why? Because we live by the Spirit, and not by the flesh. We were at one point like them, and now we are dead to it. But until we sleep, we will be tempted, tried, and persecuted, labelled as fools, and even hated. But as we are they ones whom are few, and are no longer a part of this world, it is in our best interests to not 'bite or devour each other'.

My neices homeshool because they should not be witness to the wickedness our education system is employing. I have lost opportunities at work to those who are LGTBQ, solely because I am not. I have watched the United Church of Canada become no more than a social club, that has decided to return to the Law and deny the Christ. Then there is that I too grew up with desires that are of the flesh. I deny myself in many ways, and still I stumble, despite my intention.

My faith is small, I rely on the kingdom, because I am otherwise completely incapable of holiness. But I do persevere. I encourage others. I am loving to a fault. And I am fearless when describing the truth.

In closing, we are in a time when those who know what evil is, see it on a dramatic increase. The worldly celebrate what the faithful pray would come to an end. The division is visable, and in most cases, causes great tension, even in families. Whether those families are physical or spiritual. All we can do is beleive what we have been told, amd act on it with all sincerity:


 *“Love your neighbor as yourself.”*

Bitterness is real

Ephesians 4:29-32
29
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
30
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
32
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

---

So working this backwards, we know that the enemy will tempt us to be cruel, cold, and uncompassionate with one another, leading us also to be unforgiving, forgetting the cost of the forgiveness we have be given through the sacrifice of the Christ.

We know then also that the enemy will put in front of us circumstances that will leave us with reason to be bitter, reasons to have rage, reasons to be angry, reasons to want to lash out physically, and reasons to slander others, feeding into unholy thoughts that leave us no longer seeking to honor the will of the Father through His Truth, but instead turningbour thoughts inwardly, focussing solely on our own state.

The Spirit of Truth only recognizes selfless sincerity found in sacrificial acts of loving charity, and, obedient service. If we are to be recognized eternally by the fruits of the Holy Spirit, we must be able to put ourselves aside and allow that same Holy Spirit to act through us here. As faith without works is dead.

No, it is very unlikely any of us can maintain holiness moment to moment throughout our entire lives. As most Christians would agree they were worldly at one point, and if not that, we know we are sinful still, likely in ways grace has not shown us yet. (As grace inlg shows us what we can handle at a given moment.)

So we are called to be aware of what comes out of out mouths, mainly because what is in our hearts is corruptible. The only thing we can really strive to control is what comes out of our mouths, and what acts we can serve others by.

I find workplaces are the hardest situations to keep control over what I say and how I act. Poor pay, disgruntled co workers, bad employers and management, all these things lead to me turning inward and finding bitterness ready to bear some bad fruit from my tree of discontent.

I also struggle with worldly friendships; those relationships that do not have God as the foundation. I find it is easy to either be envious or create jealousy. We compare our lives, sharing struggles or sharing victories. But in essence this is selfish. All worldly relationship are self propelled, and we keep these relationships because they give us meaning. But we know that life is actually meaningless, and purpose is solely found in the will of God being acted upon.

I wrote this tonight for myself really. I have had a bad few weeks and my pay is so low I have to go into debt to make it to work the next few weeks. I was very bitter about this. And I found myself becoming more and more depressed and even thinking of suicide. This is when I googled 'bitterness'. I found this exert in Ephesians, and decided to focus on it with not just me in mind, but us, my spiritual family.

My lesson? *Take myself out of the equation, find a way to honor God.*

We are deeply loved.
