| I had finished reading a word one evening that the Lord had spoken to Susan O’Marra, and in this word the Lord was explaining how critical it is in this hour for all of us to set aside some time to sit quietly before the Lord, and listen to what Father has to say. The next morning I got up fairly early to do just that, to sit at his feet and see what the Lord had to say to me. It did not take me long after I tried to sit quietly before I realized that I had a lot of voices in my mind that would not quiet themselves. So I just simply asked the Lord to quiet these voices so that I could honor his word and hear what he to say. I then noticed that the Lord had almost immediately quieted all of these voices; all that is except one. There was this one thought that kept repeating itself over and over in my mind, just like a album stuck in one place; and it was a voice that kept saying, “Lord, why do I feel like I have hardly anyone to minister to these days?” Over and over this sentence kept repeating itself. The thing was, I could not really remember ever hearing this particular voice before in my thoughts. I then began to wonder if the Lord had actually put this thought there. Proverbs 16:3 “Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts will be established.” 나는 어느 날 저녁,, 주님이 수전 오마라(Susan O’Marra)에게 말씀하신 것을 읽기를 끝냈었는데,, 이 말씀속에서 주님이 설명하고 있었습니다,, 우리 모두가 이 시각 얼마간의 시간을 따로 내어서,,, 조용히 주님앞에 앉아,,아버지가 말해야 하는 것을 듣는것이 얼마나 긴요하게 중요 한지를. 그 다음날 아침, 나는 꽤 일찍이 일어나,, 바로 그렇게 하려고,, 그 분의 발 아래 앉아,,주님이 내게 무슨말을 해야 하나,,보려 했습니다. 내가 조용히 앉으 있으려,,한지 얼마되지 않아,, 나는 깨달았습니다,, 내가 내 정신속에 많은 음성(목소리)가 있다는 것을,, 도무지 조용히 하려고 하지 않는. 그래서,, 나는 그냥 단순하게 주님께 요청했습니다,, 이러한 음성들을 좀 자자들게 해달라고; 그래서 내가 그분의 말을 삼가 받들어,, 그분이 말하는 것을 들을 수 있도록. 그때 나는 알아챘습니다,, 주님이 거의 즉각적으로,, 모든 이러한 음성들을 잠재운 것을 ; 그 전부를,, 하나를 제외하고. 내 정신속엔,, 되풀이해서 계속 반복되는 한 생각이 있었습니다,, 꼭 어떤 한 자리속에 꽃힌 채,, 있는 엘범첩 처럼 ; 그것은 계속해서 말하는 한 음성이었습니다,," 주님, 왜 나는 이러한 날,, 내게 도움이 될 만한 사람이 거의 한 사람도 없는 것 같일까요 ? " 이 문장이 반복해서,, 그 자체가 반복되고 있었습니다. 사실인즉, 나는 실재,, 이 특정 음성,, 을 전에 내 생각들속에서,, 들은것을 기억할수가 없었습니다. 나는 그때,, 궁금해 지기 시작했습니다,,주님이 실재로 이 생각을 그 곳에 두셨는지가. 잠언 16:3 너의 일을 여호와께 맡기라,,그럼 너의 생각이 설(이루어질) 것이다." 그 때,, 주의 영이 내 기억속으로 한 구절,, 주님이 오래전에 내게 가르치셨던, 구절을 내 기억으로 다시 떠오르게 했습니다 ; 그것은 디모데 전서 2:25-26절에 기록된 것으로 " 그리고 주의 종은 다투지 말아야 할 것과 ; 대신 모든이에게 온유하여,,인내하며, 가르치기를 잘 하며,,,, 반대하는 자들에게 온유함으로 교훈할지니, 만약 혹시라도 하나님이 그들에게 진리를 인정게 하는 마음의 돌이킴을 허락하실지." 나는 그때 기억했습니다 주님이 이 구절을 전에 내게 가르치셨다는 것을,, 그 분이 나를 위해 준비하고 계셨던 사역의 전형을 보이시기 위해 ; 그들 자신을 심판하는 자들, 그 정신의 모든 생각들과, 그 마음의 모든 욕구들, 스스로 하나님이 하시는 말씀에 대적하여 겨루며 거스리는 것에 " 반대하기 " 로,, 준비된 자들을 돌보도록 하시려고. 우리는 우리자신들을 정죄하기 위해 심판하는 것이 아닙니다, 대신 우리는 우리 스스로 심판합니다,, 하나님께,, 오셔서 우리를 그 분의 영으로서 하나님께 속하지 않은 우리 안쪽의 모든 것들에서 해방시켜달라는 허락을 주기위해. 오직 그분의 영으로만 그 육의 정신 생각들을 지배해 온 그 증오와 사망으로부터 우리를 자유게 할 수 있습니다, 오직 그 분의 영만이 우리를 그 육의 욕구들 로부터 자유게 할 수 있습니다 ; 오직 그분의 영만이 우리를 우리 눈 속의 보지못함에서 풀어줄 수 있습니다 ; 그리고 그 분의 영만이 우리를 이 생명의 자긍심에서 자유롭게 해줄 수 있습니다. 하나님은 우리를 비난하고픈, 혹은 우리를 비판하고픈, 혹은 우리 모습에 실망하여 머리를 가로 젓고픈, 혹은 우리를 경시하고, 혹은 우리를 우리가 범하는 죄들 어떤것에도,, 정죄하고픈,, 혹은 우리 실수를 흠잡는, 혹은 우리 약점들을 꼬집고픈 그런 욕구가 전혀 없습니다 ; 대신 그분의 사랑은 우리를 그 육에서 그 더러운 것들에서, 그 불경스런 것들에서, 그 죽은 것들에서, 그 부패한 것들에서, 그 더러운 것들에서 풀어 주고파 하십니다. Luke 11:13 “If then you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, then how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” Romans 8:2 “For the law of the Spirit of life has made me free from the law of sin and death…13 For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you, through the Spirit, do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.” II Corinthians 3:17 “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” I Corinthians 11:35 “For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord so that we may not be condemned with the world.”
I was a very miserable atheist, and from the day the Lord called me, my heart has yearned to come to know the truth about this God who had so mercifully saved me, blessed me with his Spirit, and who had personally written my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Who is this God that thought enough of me to do these things, seeing that I had never done anything but curse him. From the moment that Lord called me and gave me the gift of his Spirit, I knew instantly that Jesus was the Son of God and that God was real, but I knew absolutely nothing about the nature or the character of God. For the first few years after the Lord called me, by reason of my ignorance of him, I was always frightened of God because I was afraid of how he might treat me for my sins, for my faults, and for my weaknesses. I was frightened because I surely thought that God would treat me in the same manner that I saw the religious treating others for their sins, and faults, and weaknesses; without mercy. Accusations without mercy; pointing the finger without mercy; criticisms without mercy; rejection without mercy; and condemnation without mercy. Because of my ignorance of the love of God, I was frightened to even see any sins, or faults, or weaknesses within me because I surely thought that God would either be disgusted with me, or blame me, or be disappointed with me, or belittle me, or condemn me just as I had seen the unmerciful church treat others for these things. My greatest fear was that he would reject me for these things. For a time there, I even chose to make myself blind so that I did not have to face the truth about what was really in my heart and my mind, choosing only to see my own goodness and my own righteousness. 나는 아주 비참한 무신론자의 한 사람이었는데, 그런데 주님이 날 부르신 그 날로부터, 내 마음은 갈망했습니다,, 이 하나님,,너무나 자비롭게 나를 구해주시고, 그분의 영으로 나를 축복해 주신, 그리고 직접 내 이름을 어린양의 생명책에 기록해 주셨던,, 이 신(하나님) 에 대한 진실을 알게되길. 이 신(하나님)은 누구일까 이런 일들을 내게 행할 만큼 나를 생각해주는, 나는 결코 그 분을 저주하는 것 외엔 아무일도 한것이 결코 없었기에. 주님이 나를 부르시고 내게 그분 영의 선물을 주신 그 순간부터, 나는 즉각적으로 알았습니다. 예수가 하나님의 아들이었단 것과, 하나님이 실재였단 것을, 하지만 나는 절대적으로 하나님의 그 성품과 성질(성격)에 대해선 아무것도 몰랐습니다. 주님이 나를 부른 후 그 처음 몇년동안,,, 내가 그 분을 알지못함으로 인해, 나는 하나님이 항상 두려웠습니다,,왜냐하면 내가 그분이 내 죄를, 내 실수들을, 나의 연약함들을 어떻게 다루실까 두려웠기때문이었습니다. 나는 무서웠습니다 왜냐하면 확실히 하나님이 나를 다루시리라 생각했기때문이었습니다,, 저 종교인들이 그들 죄들, 실수함들, 연약함들을 두고 다루는 것을 봤던 그 방식으로 ; 자비없이 나를 다루실 거라 생각했기 때문이었습니다. 자비없는 비난(고소)들 ; 자비없는 손가락질을 하면서; 자비없는 비판들; 자비없는 거절함으로 ; 자비없는 정죄함으로. 하나님의 그 사랑에 대한 나의 알지못함(무지)때문에, 나는 두려웠습니다,, 심지어 내 안쪽의 어떤죄들, 혹은 실수들, 혹은 연약함들을 보는 것 조차 왜냐함 나는 틀림없다 생각했기때문이었습니다,, 하나님이 나를 두고 역겨워하거나, 혹은 나를 탓하리라, 혹은 실망했다, 혹은 나를 없이 여기리라 혹은 나를 정죄하리라고,,바로 내가 그런 자비없는교회,,이런일들을 두고 다른이들을 다루는,,그런 교회에서 보았던 것처럼. 나의 가장 큰 두려움은 그분이 이러한 일들로 나를 거부할 것이란 것이. 그기서 한 때는, 나는 심지어 내 자신이 보지 않기로 했습니다,, 그래서 내가 실재 내 마음속에, 그리고 내 정신속에 있었던 것을 똑바로 봐야 할 필요가 없다고,, 그냥 단순히 내 자신의 선한 것과 내 자신의 의로움만을 보기로 하면서. II Samuel 24:14 “And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the Lord, for his mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.” I Corinthians 15:34 “Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God, and I speak this to your shame.” As I continued seeking God, asking for him to reveal himself to me, he began to do just that, but not always in the manner that I was expecting him to. one morning while I was praying, the Lord led to me to start asking for him to do that which is written in Jeremiah 33:3 “Call upon me, and I will answer you, and I will show you great and mighty things that you do not know.” I have to admit, that when I started asking this of the Lord, I got really excited because I thought that I was about to witness God performing healings for the terminally ill or some other kind of great miracles. I kept praying and asking, but I saw nothing happening that I could define as either great or mighty. Then I woke up one morning, and the presence of God was all over me and in me. I felt like I was completely saturated with the love of God in a way that I had never before experienced. Without any doubt, I had never experienced this awesome love from any human being. It is one thing to say that you believe that God loves you, but it is another thing to actually be saturated in it. In that one moment, it felt as though the Lord and I were best friends; like the closest of brothers; like Father and son; like husband and wife; and like we were intimate lovers with nothing to hide from one another. 내가 계속해서 하나님을 구했을 때,,그분으로 하여,,그분자신을 내게 드러내 보여 달라고, 그분이 바로 그렇게 하기 시작했습니다,, 하지만,, 내가 그러리라고 예상했던 방식은 늘 아니었습니다. 어느 날 아침, 내가 기도를 하고 있었는데,, 주님이 나를 이끄시곤 내게 그 분께 구하기 시작토록 하셨습니다,,저 예레미야 33:3 절에 기록된 그 것을 행하도록 " 내게 부르짖어라, 그럼 내가 네게 응답할 것이고, 그리고 내가 네게 크고 강대한것들,, 너가 알지 못하는,,것들을 보일 것이다." 내가 인정해야 겠습니다,, 나는 내가 이것을 주님께 구하기 시작했을 때, 나는 정말 흥분했습니다, 왜냐함 나는 생각에,, 내가 곧 하나님을 증거하게 될 것이라,, 저 죽을 수 밖에 없는 이들를 치료하며 혹은 몇 몇 다른 아주 대단한 기적 같은 것들을 행하면서. 나는 계속 기도하며 구했더랬습니다, 하지만 나는 아무일도 일어나는 것을 보질 못했습니다,, 내가 그런것으로 생각할 수 있었던,, 크고,, 혹은 강력한 어떤것도. 그때 나는 어느 날 아침 깨어났습니다, 그리고 하나님의 그 임재함이 내 바깥쪽 전부, 내 안쪽전부에 임했습니다. 나는 느낌에,, 내가 완전히 하나님의 사랑에 삼투된 듯 빠져들었는데,, 내가 전에 결코 경험해 본 적이 없는 어떤 방식으로였습니다. 의심의 여지 없이, 나는 결코 이런 놀라운 사랑을 어떤 인간적 존재로부터는 경험한 적이 없었습니다. 그것은 하나님이 당신을 사랑한다는 것을 믿는다 라고 말하는 것과,, 하지만 실재로 그 사랑속에 삼투당해 보는 것은 또 다른 것입니다. 그 한 순간에,, 그것은 마치 주님과 내가 가장 친한 친구인 듯한 느낌이었습니다 ; 서로가 형제간 인 듯한 ; 아버지와 아들인 듯한 ; 남편과 아내인 듯한 ; 그리고,, 우리가 서로간에 숨길것이라곤 없는 아주 친밀한 사이의 연인사이인듯 한... It was like I was all at once experiencing God at his best in all of these types of relationships; his best to the 1000th degree. I was, to say the least, enraptured in the fellowship of his love. Needless to say, after this visitation, any unbelief or doubts that I may have had about Father’s love just completely dissolved. Can there be anything more precious to a man than to experience that the almighty God, the Creator and Maker of all things, actually is love, and you are the object of the affection of his love? What was even more amazing to me was that I experienced this visitation of love at a time that I was really weak to various fleshy desires. It was then my all of the fears that I had about God being disappointed with me, rejecting me, and condemning me just disappeared from heart and mind. 그것은 내가 단번에,, 하나님을 그런 그 분의 최상의 상태, 이런 모든 관계속의 최고의 상태로 경험하고 있는 것 같았습니다 ; 그 분의 최고의 상태에로. 나는 그랬습니다, 최소한으로 말해서, 그 분 사랑의 친교속에서의 황홀경이었습니다. 말할필요도 없이,, 이 방문 후엔, 내가 전에 아버지 사랑을 두고 혹이나 가졌었던 어떤불신 혹은 의심함은 그냥 완전히 해소되어 버렸습니다. 한 인간에게 이 보다 더 귀한것이 있을 수 있습니까,, 전능자 하나님, 만물의 창조자이자 조성자(the Creator and Maker of all things:만드신 분) 이신 분이 실재 사랑이시다 라는 것을 경험하는 것과, 그리고 당신이 그 사랑 애정의 대상물(체)이란 것보다 ? 내게 있어 훨씬 더 놀라웠던 것은 내가 이 사랑의 방문을,,내가 실재 여러가지 육의 욕구들로 심히 연약해 있을 한 때에 경험했다는 것입니다. 그때 나의 그 모든 두려움들,,내가 하나님을 두고 가졌던,, 나에 대해 실망하여, 나를 거절하리라, 나를 정죄하리라,,그 모든 두려움들이 그냥 마음에서 정신에서 사라져 버렸습니다. Matthew 11:27 “Jesus said, “All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son except the Father; neither does any man know the Father except the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him to.” Psalm 16:11 “You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. At your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 84:10 “For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness. 마태복음 11:27 " 예수께서 말했습니다, " 모든것들이 아버지에게서 내게로 넘겨졌다 : 그리고 어떤 사람도 아버지 외엔 아들은 모른다 ; 어떠 사람도 아들외엔 아버지를 모른다, 그리고 그 아들이 그분을 들어내는 그 사람외엔. " 시편 16:11 " 당신이 내게 생명의 길을 보이십니다. 당신의 현존에는 기쁨이 가득합니다. 당신의 우편에는 즐거움들이 영원히 있습니다." 시편 84:10 " 이는 당신의 안뜰에서 하루가 천 날 보다 낳습니다. 내가 차라리 내 하나님 집에 문지기가 되겠습니다,, 악인의 장막에 기거하는 것보다. Then the Lord said to me, “God is love. No man knows Father God except the Son, and he who the Son reveals Father God to. No man knows the love of God except the Son, and he who the Son reveals the love of God to. He who sees the Son sees the Father, and he who sees the Father sees the Son. You have asked to see great and mighty things that you did not know, and now I have opened the eyes of your heart so that you can see the thing that you did not know, the great love that God has for you. My Father and are one; I Am the great and mighty one; the one that you did not know. I have manifest to your heart the greatness of the love that I have for you. I have also manifested to you the power of my might as my love was moved to bless you, to forgive you of your sins, to purge you of your iniquities, to protect you, to teach you my truth, to break off the yoke of your pride, to cast out your fears, to open your blind eyes, to give you understanding of my words, to increase your faith, to work in your belief, to win your trust, to make ways for you when you thought that was no way, to provide for you, to help you, to deliver you, to heal you, to strengthen you, to give you hope, to make you wise, and to give you life abundantly. These are some of the mighty works that my great love has been moving to do for you; works that only I am able to do. The kingdom of God’s love does not come with an outward show that can be seen, but it comes inwardly, to reveal the intentions of God’s love to your heart and your mind.” 그때 주님이 내게 이르시길 ," 하나님은 사랑이다. 어떤 사람도 아들외엔 아버지를 모른다, 그리고 아들이 아버지 하나님을 드러내는 그 외엔. 어떤 사람도 하나님의 그 사랑을 모른다 아들외엔, 그리고 그 아들이 하나님의 그 사랑을 드러내는 그 외엔. 그 아들을 보는 그는 아버지를 본다, 그리고 그 아버지를 보는 그는 그 아들을 본다. 너가 구했다,, 크고 강대한 것들, 너가 알지 못했던,, 것을 볼려고,,그래서 이제 내가 네 마음의 그 눈을 열었다,,너가 몰랐던 그 일들으르 볼수 있도록,, 그 큰 사랑,, 하나님이 너를 위해 가진. 내 아버지와 나는 하나다 ; 내가 그 크고 강대한 자이다 ; 그 자,, 너가 몰랐던. 내가 너의 마음에 그 사랑의 위대한 것,, 내가 너를 위해 가진,, 그것을 나타내었다. 내가 또한 너에게 내 힘의 능력을 나타내었다,, 내 사랑이 너를 축복하려고 움직였을 때의,, 너에게서 너의 죄를 용서하고, 너에게서 너의 허물진 것들을 씻어내고, 너를 보호하고, 너에게 내 진실을 가리켜서, 너의 긍지(자긍심)의 멍에를 부숴버리어, 너의 두려운것들을 내 던져 버리고, 너의 보지못하는 눈을 열어서,, 너에게 내 말의 이해함을 주어, 너의 믿음(신앙)을 증가시키고, 너의 믿음속에서 일하므로, 너의 신뢰를 얻어, 너를 위해,, 너가 길(방법)이 전혀 없다 생각했을 때,, 길을 내어, 너에게 공급하고, 너를 도와,, 너를 해방시키고(구출하고), 너를 치유하여,, 너를 강하게 하여, 너에게 소망을 두고, 너를 지혜롭게 만들어,, 너에게 생명을 풍성히 주려고. 이것들이 내 위대한(큰)사랑이 너를 위해 행하려 작업해오고 있는 그 강대한 일들중의 몇개이다 ; 오직 나 만이 행 할수 있는 일들. 하나님의 사랑의 왕국은 어떤 외적인 눈에 보이는 것으로 오지 않는다, 대신 그것은 내적으로 온다,, 하나님 사랑의 목적들을 너의 마음에,, 너의 정신에 드려내려. " Luke(누가복음) 17:20-21 “Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He replied to them by saying, The kingdom of God does not come with signs to be observed or with visible display; Nor will people say, ‘Look! Here [it is]!” or, “See, [it is] there!” For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you].” 그 바리새인들이 물었다,, 하나님의 왕국이 언제 올 것인지를, 그분이 그들에게 이르러 말하길, " 하나님은 왕국은 볼 수 있게 표적으로 , 혹은 눈에 보이게 나타남으로 오지 않는다 ; 사람들이 말하지도 않을 것이다, ' 봐라 ! 그것이 여기있다! " 혹은, " 봐라, 그것이 저기 있다! " 이는 보라, 하나님의 그 왕국은 너희안쪽에[너희 마음들속에] 그리고 너희 가운데[너희 주변으로] 있기때문이다. (번역하는 다니엘입니다,,, 원래 시간이 없는 관계로,, 기록된 성경말씀은 번역하지 않으려 했으나,, 우리가 그 동안,, 너무도 많이,, 많은 부분을 잘 못된 신학이란 종교의 가르침에 의해,, 쇠뇌 될 정도로 잘못 알고 있기에.. 이런 성경말씀을 번역을 하지 않을수가 없어서....) II Corinthians(고전) 4:17,18 “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we do not fix our eyes on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” " 이는 가벼운,, 순간적인 어려움들은 우리에게 한 영원한,, 그것들 전부를 훨씬 능가하는,,영광을 얻도록 해주고 있습니다. 그래서 우리가 우리의 시선을 보이는 것들에 고정하지 않게, 대신 보이지 않는 것들에(고정하도록). 이는 보이는 것은 잠깐이요,,대신 보이지 않는 것은 영원하기 때문입니다. " 다음에서 계속..... After these words from the Lord, I noticed that I was never afraid or frightened again to draw near to my loving Father. I even saw that I was not at all afraid to approach God at any time, even in my darkest hours, because I knew that his love would never leave me or forsake me. It was in these times that I saw that the grace of his love was greater than any sin, and when my heart would condemn, his love would not. Because I was no longer fearful to see these things, I even began asking the Lord to judge my heart so that if he might reveal any sin that I was ignorant of, or any hidden fault or weakness that needed to be removed that I was not aware of. I asked the Lord to do this because I did not want anything to be in me that might hinder or prevent him from visiting me again with his lovely presence. Though I did not see the great and mighty things that I was expecting to see, I did see that which changed my entire relationship with God: his love. In fact, I never again called him God; only Father. 주님으로부터의 이 말씀 후,, 나는 알게되었습니다,,내가 전혀 두려워하지 않는다는 것을, 혹은 다시는 무서워하지도, 내 사랑하는 아버지께 다가가는것에. 나는 심지어 보았습니다,, 내가 전혀 하나님께 어느 때에나,, 가까이 다가가는 것에 두려움이 없게 된 것을,, 심지어 가장 어두운 암흑의 시각들에서 조차도, 왜냐함 나는 알았기때문이었습니다,,그분의 사랑은 결코 나를 떠나지도, 혹은 나를 버리지도 않을 것일라는 것을. 그것을 내가 알게 된 것은 이 때였습니다,, 그분 사랑의 그 은혜가 어떠한 죄보다도 더 크다는 것을,, 내 마음이 (나를) 정죄하려 했을때에도, 그분의 사랑은 그러려 하지 않았다는 것을. 왜냐함 내가 더 이상 이러한 것들 보길 두려워하지 않았기에, 나는 심지어 주님께 내 마음을 심판(판단)해 달라고 구하기 조차 시작했습니다,,그래서 만약 그분이 어떤 죄,, 내가 몰랐던,,것을, 혹은 어떤 숨겨진 잘못,, 혹은 연약함,,내가 인지 하지 못했던 것으로 제거될 필요가 있는 것을 드러내 보일까 해서. 나는 주님께 구하여 이렇게 해 달라 했습니다,, 왜냐함 나는 내 속에 있는 어떤 것,, 그분이 내게 다시금 그분의 사랑스런 임재를 가지고 방문하지 못하게 방해할 가능성이 있는 것을 원치 않았기에. 내가, 내가 보리라 기대하고 있었던 그 위대하고 강대한 것들을 보지 못했을 찌라도, 사실은 나는 실재 그것을 보았습니다,, 내 전 관계,, 하나님과의 모든 관계를 바꿔 논 그것을 : 그 분의 사랑. 사실은, 내가 그분을 결코 다시는 하나님이라 부르지 않았습니다 ; 오직 아버지 만으로 (불렀습니다). Psalm 139:23,24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts, and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” I Corinthians 4:5 “Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.” John 3:19 This is the judgment (condemnation), that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God. I could have never believed that the thing that had become so real to me, was discovering how much God truly loves me, and that he loves all men the same as me. It was during this time that the Lord told me that he greatly loves all men, but he can only reveal his love to those who believe on him. My heart is now always looking forward to, and greatly desirous, for him to visit me as often as he desires to come. I had experienced the “Real Thing”, and I wanted to partake in as much of his love as I possibly could. The more God revealed to me about his love, the more I began to believe that truly is nothing, especially sin or weakness, that could separate me from the love of God; that is, as long as I continued in the faith to approach him. Since I have come to know his love, I have never judged myself in anything, no matter how evil or wicked, that I have not looked for his love to come and meet me with grace, and show to me the mercy of his love, and the power of his Spirit moving to free my heart and mind from the thoughts and desires that are not of him. In fact, the most evil and wicked thing that God has corrected me of and changed within me was the ignorance that counseled me to be afraid of God and frightened to draw near to him. This type of fear is a great evil in the sight of God because it only works to keep us away from God. 나는 결코,, 믿을 수 없었을 것입니다,, 내게 그렇게나 생생하게 리얼했었던 그것을,, 내가 알아 발견하고 있었던,, 얼마나 많이 하나님이 진정 나를 사랑하는지를,, 그리고 그분이 모든 인간들을 나 처럼 그렇게 동일하게 사랑하고 있다는 것을. 그것은 이 때 동안이었습니다 주님,그 분이 심히도 모든 인간들을 사랑하고 있다는 것을,, 내게 말했던 때가. 하지만 그 분은 오직 그 분의 사랑을 그 분을 바탕으로 믿는 자들에게 드러내 보일 수 있습니다. 내 마음은 이제 언제나 학수 고대하고 있습니다,, 그리고 크게 바라고 있습니다,, 그분이 나를 자주,, 그 분이 오고플 때는 언제든 자주 방문해 주길. 나는 경험했더랬습니다,, 그 " 생생한 실재 것을 ", 그리고 나는 원합니다,, 나가 할 수 있는 가능한 한,, 많이 그 분의 사랑에 참여하길. 하나님이 내게 그 분의 사랑에 대해 드러내면 드러낼 수록,, 그 만큼 더 나는 믿기 시작했습니다,, 진정으로 아무것도 아닌것을,, 특별히 죄나, 혹은 연약함,, 나를 하나님의 그 사랑에서 갈라 놓을 수 있었던 것 ; 즉 다시 말해서, 내게 계속해서 그 분께 다가가려는 믿음(신앙)안에서 지속하는 한 (아무것도 아닌것을). 내가 그분의 사랑을 알게 된 이후, 나는 결코 내 자신을 어떤것에 있었어도 심판(판단)하지 않았습니다,아무리 악하고 사악할찌라도, 내가 그 분의 사랑이 와서 은혜로 나를 충족시키리라, 그리고 내게 그분 사랑의 자비함을 보이지 않으리라 생각했던 것들, 그 분 영의 그 강력한 힘이 와서 내 마음과 정신을 그 분이 아닌 것으로 된 그 욕구들과 정신들에서 해방시키리라 생각지 않았던 것들을. 사실은, 하나님이 내게서 교정시켜 내 안쪽에서 바꿔놓은 가장 악하고 사악한 것은,, 그 무지(알지못함)였습니다, 내게 하나님을 두려워하고,, 무서워하게 해서,, 그 분께 다가가지 못하게 한. 이런 형태의 두려움은 하나님 보시기에 하나의 큰 악입니다,,왜냐함 그것은 오직 우리로 하나님에게서 떠나있도록 역사(작용)할 뿐이기 때문입니다. Since I had made it my quest to know the truth about God, it has at many times made me feel strange when I am among those Christians that do not seek to know anything more about him than what there own opinions have imagined for him to be. Many times I have even felt as alone as Elijah did, even saying at times, “Lord, am I the only one who is seeking to know the truth about who you really are?” Even though I was feeling this way, I knew in my heart that there are many others who are also seeking to know this same truth about God. I just have not crossed paths with that many; or rather, they could be all around me like the 7000 that were around Elijah, but he did not have eyes to see them until the Lord opened them to see. 내가 하나님에 대한 진실을 아는 것이 내 탐구목적으로 만든 후,, 그것은 여러번 나로하여금 이방인으로 느끼게 했습니다,, 내가 그러한 크리스챤(이라는 이)들,, 그 분에 대해 더 이상 어떤것을 알려고 찾아 구하지 않는,, 그들 자신의 의견(생각)들로 그 분이라 상상해 만들어낸 것 외엔. 여러번 나는 심지어 엘리야가 그랬던 것처럼,, 혼자뿐이라 느껴졌습니다, 심지어 때때로,, 다음과 같이 말하면서, " 주님, 내가 당신이 진짜 누구인지 알려고 진리를 구하는 유일한 자가 아닙니까 ? " 내가 이런씩으로 느끼고 있었을찌라도, 나는 내 마음속에서 알았습니다,, 역시 하나님에 대한 이 진실(진리)를 알려 찾아 구하는 많은 다른이들이 있다는것을. 나는 그냥 그 많은이들과 마주치지가 않았더랬습니다 ; 더 정확히, 그들이 내 사방으로 있을수 있었습니다,, 엘리야 주변으로 있었던 그 7000명 처럼, 하지만 그는 그들을 볼 눈이 없었습니다,, 주님이 그 눈을 열어 보게하기까지는..
I Kings 19:9,10 “And he came to a cave and lodged there. And, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said, “Why are you here, Elijah?” And he said, “I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.” So here I was, still praying, but hearing this one voice saying over and over, “Am I the only one…?” Suddenly, the Lord took me in the Spirit, and I found myself in the midst of his angels in heaven. I saw all different kinds and sizes of angels; and I do not know how I knew, but without any words being spoken, I knew exactly how these angels differed from another in their anointing, their ability, and in the purpose that God had for each one of them. I was considering all of these differences when I began to perceive that there was something that they all had in common, but at that moment I could not discern what it was. Then the Lord opened my eyes, and I saw clearly that they all trembled and feared God. I was at first taken back by this because I could not understand how any heavenly creature, especially the angels who dwell in the presence of God’s love, could have this such fear and trembling within them. The Lord himself had been teaching me that there is no fear in love; and for this reason, I just could not imagine how you could find this fear and trembling in those who dwelled in the very presence of God’s love. I then able to see and discern that though each angel had this fear and trembling within him, there were none that were at all frightened, or terrified, or afraid of God in the manner that I once been frightened of God. It was more like this fear and trembling that was within them was there to keep them constantly aware or watching for something; but at that moment, I could not comprehend what that something might be. It was like this fear was in them to direct them to “take heed”. I was dumbfounded and at a complete lost as to why any of these angels, much less all of the them, would have this fear and trembling in them. 그렇게, 그기서 나는 여전히 기도하고 있었는데,, 하지만 이 한 음성이 반복해서 다음과 같이 말하는 것을 들렸습니다, " 내가 그 유일한 자입니까 ... ? " 돌연, 주님이 나를 영으로 취하여 갔고,, 그러자 나는 내 자신이 하늘의 그분 천사들 가운데 있는것을 발견했습니다. 나는 온 갖 종류의 다른, 크기도 다른 천사들을 보았습니다 ; 그리고 나는 모릅니다,, 내가 어떻게 알게 되었던지를, 하지만 전혀 말을 하지 않았는데도, 나는 정확히 알았습니다,, 이러한 천사들이 그들 기름부음받음, 그들 능력, 하나님이 그들 각자 한사람 한 사람에 대해 가진 목적들에서 어떻게 서로간 다른 존재인지를. 나는 모든 이러한 차이점들을 두고 생각하고 있었는데,, 그때,, 나는 알아채기 시작했습니다,, 뭔가 그들 모두가 동시에 가지는 공통점이 있다는 것을, 하지만 그 순간 나는 그것이 무엇인지를 알아차릴수가 없었습니다. 그때 주님이 내 눈을 여셨습니다, 그리고 나는 분명하게 보았습니다,, 그들 모두가 떨면서,, 하나님을 두려워 하고 있는것을. 나는 처음엔 이것을 두고 정신을 차리고 생각해 봤습니다, 왜냐함 나는 이해할 수가 없었습니다,, 어떻게 어떤 하늘의 생물,, 특별히 하나님의 사랑의 존전(임재)에 거주하고 있는 그 천사들이 이러아주 강한 두려움과 떨림을 그들 내부에 가질수 있는가 하고. 주님 그 자신은 내게 가르쳐 왔었더랬습니다,,, 사랑에는 두려움이 없다고 ; 이런 이유로, 나는 그냥 상상할 수가 없었습니다,, 당신들(그들이) 이 두려움과 떨림을 그기 바로 하나님의 사랑의 존전(임재)에 거주하는 자들속에서 발견할수 있는지. 나는 그때 그것을 보고 알아차릴 수가 있었습니다,,각 천사가 이 두려움과 떨림을 그 자신 안쪽에 가졌음에도,, 아무도,, 전혀 두려워하지도 혹은 공포에 젖어있지도 혹은 하나님을 무서워하지도 않는 것을,,내가 예전에 하나님을 두려워 했었던 방식으로. 그것,, 그들 안쪽에 있는 이 두려움과 떨림은 다소간 이런유의 것이었습니다,, 그기 그들을 끊임없이 깨어있게 하거나, 혹은 어떤것을 주의하게 하는 ; 하지만 그 순간, 나는 그 어떤것이 무엇인지 이해하여 파악할수는 없었습니다. 그것은 이런 두려움이었습니다,, 그들속에 있어,, 그들로 " 조심하게 " 이끄는. 나는 할 말을 잃은 채,, 완전히 오리무중이었습니다,, 왜 이러한 천사들 어느누구나,, 그들 모두 한 사람도 빼지 않고,, 이런 두려움과 떨림이 그들속에 있을까,, 에 대해. 다음에서 계속..... Then the Lord did something for me that he had previously done twice before for me; he opened my eyes spiritually so that I could actually see the thoughts that were in each one of his angels. The first time that the Lord allowed for me to see thoughts was when he took me in the Spirit and brought me into his presence. My face was no more than two inches away from his face, and his entire body was translucent before me. I began to see the thoughts in his mind as easily as you could see trees in a forest. I saw that all of his thoughts came forth from the love in his heart; and I again experienced the love that he had for me. I could see and hear the love in his thoughts asking me what he could do for me. I was so overwhelmed at seeing his love for me, like I was the sole object of all his love, that I asked for nothing because there was nothing I needed while I was seeing the great love that he had for me. I was compassed with abundant life at that moment, and there is no need for anything else when you are in that state. As overwhelmed as I was in that moment about seeing his love for me, I was became even more overwhelmed when I saw with my own eyes that he has this love for all men. This event happened about 4 years ago (2006), and I have not once doubted his love for all men since. Every time that God has taken me deeper into his heart, he has done so by showing me a characteristic of his love that I had not previously known. Even though I am still walking in the flesh, my life and my world around me changes each time after he opens my eyes to see new depths of his love, whether it be his love for me, or for his church, or for all men, or for my enemies. Matthew 5: “You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” The other time that the Lord opened my eyes to see thoughts of another came when the Lord gave me vision of a man who had never known God in any manner. I was standing before this man when the Lord opened my eyes so that I could see clearly how the darkness was tormenting him in his thoughts with many, many different kinds of fears: worry, hopelessness, stress, confusion, anxiety, etc. I could also see how the darkness was troubling him with thoughts of loneliness, bitterness, hatred, depression, vengefulness, anger, etc. The Lord gave me this vision to show me the power and the love that God is getting ready to equip the priesthood of believers with; a power and a love that is coming forth to set men free from their bondage to these miserable and wicked spirits. I then saw myself lay my hand on this man’s head, bind up all of these miserable and wicked spirits, and then cast them all out. Then the Lord opened this man’s eyes so that he could see the Spirit of God in me. This man then saw where his mind had been troubled and tormented, there was peace in my mind. Then this man saw through my thoughts the love that God has for him, and he immediately asked me if I would pray for him so that he could receive this Spirit also. I did just that, and immediately the Spirit of the Lord entered into his heart and mind, giving to him that which he desired. And now, for the third time, the Lord was opening my eyes so that I could clearly see the thoughts of all his angels. Once I realized that this was the third time that was happening to me, I began to wonder why the Lord was doing this. Then the Spirit of the Lord reminded me of that which is written in Proverbs 23:7 “For as he thinks in his heart, so he is.” I then realized that a man, as well as God, and all his angels also, we really are that which our thoughts think; and if you can see the thoughts, then you will also know the true intent of heart. Of course, in this world of darkness, fear directs men to hide their true thoughts behind pretenses, lies, and hypocrisy so that others will not know who they truly are. But where can the lies of pretense and hypocrisy hide when God comes to reveal the thoughts of the mind for everyone to see? I remembered then that when the Lord allowed for me to see his thoughts, he said to me, “I am love, and love has nothing to hide. I love you, and I desire for you to know how much I love you. I love all men as well, and my love for them has nothing to hide either. Love does not think any evil.” I then remembered that the Lord had said to Samuel that man is only able to judge others according to how they appear before men, but God is able to see the thoughts of the heart with all of it’s motives and desires. There is no thought in any man or in any of his angels, that is able to hide from the sight of God; for God sees and knows the thoughts of all his creatures. I Samuel 16:7 “But the LORD said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance, or on the height of his stature because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” I Chronicles 28:9 “And you, Solomon my son, know you the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all of the imaginations of the thoughts.” Psalm 139:23 “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts.” I Corinthians 3:20 “And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.” Psalm 94:11 “The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.” Matthew 9:4 “And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?” Matthew 12:25 “And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.” Genesis 6:5 “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Isaiah 55:7 “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” I then realized that for the Lord to allow for me to see the thoughts in this man, in his angels, and the thoughts of God himself, it could only be possible by him giving to me his vision. When I began to see the thoughts in these angels, I first saw thoughts that would be what one would expect to see in the holy angels of God. I saw their joy, their goodness, their excitement, their playfulness, their peace, their gladness, their worship and praise for God, and the love in their friendship and fellowship that they had for one another, and for God. I also saw that they were all truly thankful and grateful for the life that God had given to them; a thankfulness that was accompanied with this incredible appreciation. But then I began to see that there were these other thoughts dwelling in the back of their minds; so far back in their minds that I do not believe any of the angels were even conscious that they were there. I then realized that this was the location where the fear and trembling thoughts dwelled. The Lord then allowed for me to see that these thoughts were not trying to hide from anyone, but they were thoughts that were stored in the memories of his angels. I then wondered what could have happened in the past to these angels that would make their to be the dwelling place of this fear and trembling. Then the Lord suddenly opened my eyes again, and I began to see the thoughts that were stored in their memories. The first event that I witnessed through their memories was the moment they saw corruption enter into Lucifer; the moment that Lucifer desired to be as God. I was able to see and understand that this desire was wicked and corrupt because it transgressed against the entire order that God had established in heaven; the order where there is only one God. The Lord then allowed for me to see how this one lie could completely corrupt the entire kingdom of God because all things in his kingdom has been established on the love that comes from the one, and only God. I continued to watch through their memories how the love of God moves through his kingdom continually blessing, and providing, and giving, and doing good for all of the inhabitants of the kingdom. I then saw how the love of God was actually serving his creatures with the works that his love did rather than the creatures serving God with their works; but all of the creatures then served God by giving him the praise, the glory, and thanksgiving to him for the love that he gave to them. The love that I was witnessing through their memories, this world has never seen, or even been able to image anything of this kind. It was then that I was able to really grasp how real the love of God really is; that God is real, and God is love, and his love is what makes his kingdom to be real; of rather, what reality is. I saw that his love was at the center of all life in his kingdom. It was as if life and love were the same thing; or at the very least, they were one with each other. You could not have life without love, and you could not have love without this life. I then saw how Lucifer, was the wisest and most beautiful angel that God had created. I then saw that in his kingdom, it is truly like that which Jesus said, “He that is greatest among you, he is your servant.” So though it was not what I was expecting, it did not surprise me to see in the memories of these angels how Lucifer was the greatest servant in the kingdom of God. I saw how God had greatly anointed and gifted Lucifer, which in turn allowed for the love of God to flow through Lucifer to bless and do good to all of the other heavenly creatures. I then saw that Lucifer greatly delighted in all of the works that the love of God was blessing others with. I then saw, though I perceived that it was not commanded of them, nor was it a law, how all of these heavenly creatures would come to exalt God, and give him glory, and honor, and praise, and offer unto him thanksgiving for all the good and the blessings that his love was performing for them. I saw how all of the heavenly creatures did this because they all knew that the love that blessed them came forth from the heart of God, regardless of who was administering it. I then saw how these angels witnessed seeing Lucifer as he began to observe how God was getting all of the recognition, all of the glory, and all of the praise for the works that the love of God was performing; especially how God was getting the glory and the praise for the works that the love of God was performing as it flowed through him. It was then that I began to witness how this wisdom began to arise in Lucifer’s heart whereby he began to grow desirous to receive this recognition, and glory, and praise for himself. I continued to watch through their memories as they remembered the first corrupt thought that ever came forth; the thought that came in Lucifer whereby he asked himself, “What must I do so that I can receive this recognition, and glory, and honor for myself? Then the answer came to Lucifer that he chose to believe, “Show yourself to be as God”. I continued to watch as they witnessed Lucifer’s heart as it began to grow cold towards the love of God, while at the same time the desires were increasing within him to show himself to be as God so that he could receive the glory and recognition that his heart desired. Isaiah 42:8 “I am the LORD, that is my name; and my glory I will not give to another, nor my praise to carved images.” Matthew 6:13 “And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.” I then saw that it was by reason of the wicked desires that he became blind to see how his wicked plan would disrupt the entire order of God’s kingdom. Even so, Lucifer’s wisdom then deceived him into believing that he could use the very gifting and anointing that God had given to him to continue doing good and blessing the other creatures, but he began to tell them that it was he that loved them and was blessing them; and the angels that were deceived by him, they actually began to believe that was as God, and they began to glorify and praise him for the good works that he was going for them. I did not see that Lucifer was in any way openly rebellious before God’s face, but that his rebellion was leading him to corrupt the entire order in the kingdom of God; the order that starts and ends with, “There is only one God; and he only shall be worshipped.” Isaiah 14:12-15 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation, on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like (an image or an appearance of) the Most High.” Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit.” I myself was utterly amazed to see how the angels actually believed Lucifer, and how they began to exalt and praise him. God must have opened my eyes to see what the angels could not see, because I was stunned to see that there was not one angel that could discern the difference between the purpose of God and the Lucifer’s purpose. He had to have opened my eyes because I could clearly see that the works that Lucifer was doing, that though they had an appearance as works coming forth from the love of God, they were only works that were being performed so that Lucifer could satisfy his own purposes while the works that God does comes forth from the love that desires to give, to bless, and to do good for all. If this was not enough, I then watched as Lucifer began to deceive the other angels with the same lies that he had deceived himself with; that they also could receive their own glory and recognition by using anointing and gifting to do good works as God so that they could receive the same glory and praise that Lucifer was receiving from them. The Lord then showed to me that this was first graven image ever created; the image that Lucifer and his angels showed when they presented themselves to be as God through their flattering words and appearance of good works. I then clearly saw and understood how this was not just a sin against God, but it was a transgression against the entire order of the kingdom of God; for this sin stopped the entire flow of God’s love. Job 4:18 “Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly and error.” I then began to understand how this lie could disrupt the entire order of heaven because these lies were leading these angels to depart from state of being that God had created them to be: angels and not gods. I saw that God is love, and that his love was everywhere in the kingdom of God because God was that love. I also that when these angels corrupted the anointing and the gifts that God had given to them, then God was no longer in these works because they were not doing them out of love. I saw that it is just as it is written, that “Love does not think on self”, but those who corrupt the order of God, they are only able to think on self. I then understood that it was the moment that Lucifer began to think on his ownself that the corruption of order entered into the kingdom of God. I also understood that God is love, and all of the works in his kingdom come forth from his love because all that his love thinks is to do good and bless others. I understood that in the kingdom of God, love is the very air that is breathed because it gives life and purpose to all the creatures that dwell there; and that Lucifer’s transgression was a sin against the very air that was there. I then remembered the time that the Lord took me in the spirit and showed to me the darkness as it came upon the earth and how it completely compassed the entire earth (The Light and the Darkness); and how this darkness consisted only of these teeny, tiny little spirits that all had the word “self-” (self-righteousness; self-importance; self-praise, etc) preceding the word that identified the nature of that particular spirit. I then saw how all of the inhabitants of this fallen world began to breath in these darkened spirits as though they were necessary to sustain a life that is only self-serving. The Lord then told me that man is so accustomed to this life that only consists of self that he cannot even image another life form that does not have self at the center of all it’s purposes. It was here that the Lord convinced me that there is a love to come, a love that does not think on self, that even the elect have not known to this day. Ephesians 2:1-7 “And you he made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins (the disorder of self), in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind (to be our own lord and god), and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, he made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 2:21 “For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus.” John 5:44 “How can you believe, which receive honor one of another, and you do not seek the honor that comes from God only?” I then remembered the time when the Lord allowed for me to taste of his selfless love. It was the not only the most incredible love for others that I have ever experienced, but it also filled me with so great joy, and purpose of being, and abundant life, I got really sad when his love departed from, though I realized that the Lord had only given me a taste of how good his love is. The sadness that I was experiencing did not come because his love departed from me, but it came upon me because my corrupted mind just could not bear the thought of me selflessly loving others, but I could not bless my ownself. But then the Lord came to me and said, “Mitt, do not be sad that you will not be able to bless your ownself, but rejoice because in the kingdom of God, every creature, including me, will be continuously loving you, desiring always to bless you and do you good.” Then my selfish sadness dissolved and gladness increased within me when I realized that God, as well as millions of heavenly creatures would be loving me with the same kind of love that I had just tasted of. I began to see that this is truly is a fallen world because I have not known any in my life that would have taken thought to bless me or to do me good out of this kind of love; but this love is coming. I also remembered how I had seen in this vision that the Lord was presently giving to me, how Lucifer, before his fall, had this great joy and delight in his heart that accompanied the love of God; how he was both continuously receiving God’s love with great joy, and he was rejoicing as he blessed others with it. I was then overwhelmed with the reality of how this all changed for Lucifer because of this one corrupted desire that entered his heart that tempted him to show himself to be as God so that he could receive glory and recognition for himself. I then perceived that Lucifer and all of these fallen angels had forgotten one thing; they were the creatures of God, and not God. I even wondered if they even realized how this single could disrupt the entire order in the kingdom. Psalm 34:8 “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” Jude 6 “And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” Ephesians 5;6,7 “Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things comes the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them.” I have always had this great respect for Lucifer/Satan for are he is able to craft his lies to appear in such a fashion that he was able to entice and deceive himself and one third of the angels who dwelled in the very presence of God. It is not that I give Satan respect for being able to do this, but it is the respect that if he is able to deceive the angels who dwell in the presence of God, then how much more shall he be able to deceive fallen man whose flesh naturally desires to be his own lord and god? Again, it is not like I give Satan any respect over God, but it is a respect for his power to deceive that makes me all the more respect all of the scriptures that warn us about to be as wise as serpents and not “allow” ourselves to be deceived. I think that anyone who makes light or ignores these warnings is incredibly foolish because it is through Satan’s lies that he is entitled to devour all those who he deceives; which fulfills the curse that God has put on him when he was cast out of the garden; the curse that says that he must crawl on his belly and that he can only eat the dust of the earth; and we all know who what man was created from. Genesis 2:7 “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground.” Genesis 3:14 “So the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; on your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.” Revelation 12:9 “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which “deceives the whole world“: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” II Corinthians 12:12-15 “But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting. For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming (disguising) themselves into apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan transforms (disguises) himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also transform (disguise) themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.” I then returned from this vision and thought that it was over, and I began to meditate on all that I had seen. But then suddenly I found myself back before the angels, and again the Lord opened my eyes so that I could once again look into their memories. I thought that I had understood why these angels had feared and trembled, but what I witnessed next enlightened me fully as to why each of these angels feared and trembled before God. I had at first seen the anger of his wrath, but now I seeing the judgment that God brought forth against Lucifer and his angels for transgressing the order of God; the order that only allows for there to be one God in heaven. I began to see through their memories as they witnessed Lucifer and each one of his angels individually come before God to receive his judgment for allowing themselves to be deceived. Lucifer was first, and the judgment that came forth from God called for him to be completely stripped of his name, of his nature, of his anointing, of his spiritual gifts, of his beauty, and the wonderful life that he had enjoyed in the love that God had given to him. I then watched as the rest of these fallen angels also were stripped of the same things as Lucifer was. Isaiah 14:9-15 “Hell from beneath is excited about you, to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you, all the chief ones of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones; all the kings of the nations. They all shall speak and say to you: “Have you also become as weak as we? Have you become like us?” Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, and the sound of your stringed instruments; the maggot is spread under you, and worms cover you. How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: “I will ascend into heaven; will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.” Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit.” Revelation 12:7 “And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” I continued to watch through their memories as they then saw Lucifer and all of these fallen angels transformed into beings of darkness: beings that were cursed to exist as wicked, miserable, sick, tormented, wretched, and filthy creatures whose very nature is darkness and death. I saw that there was no prison bars or chains to keep them in bondage to this darkness and death because they cursed to be subject to the very nature of darkness and death that they had become. I first saw Lucifer as he was transformed into Satan, full of all darkness and death. I continued to watch as each one of these fallen angels pleaded and screamed before God as they were also changed into some manner of darkness and death. I saw that Satan became ruler over all of the other fallen angels because he was the only one that was completely full of all darkness and death, while the others were only partially filled with darkness and death. I then saw that after they were changed, they were then cast from God’s holy presence into a realm of outer darkness that was filled with cursing, emptiness, misery, sickness, and death. There was no life there, nor health, nor blessings, nor peace of mind, nor any love for any other creature. Even the love that they had for themselves, the love that tempted them to be as God, it turned into pure self-hatred because of allowing themselves to be deceived. I could not help but think at that moment how utterly miserable it must have also been for Adam and Eve, who just like Lucifer and his fallen angels, were also changed from light to darkness, and then cast out of the garden, away from all the love, and communion, and blessings, and care, and daily fellowship that they had enjoyed with their God. It was extremely agonizing to watch as these fallen angels greatly suffered as this curse of darkness and death swallowed them all up. Romans 11:21-23 “For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.” I then continued to witness through their memories what these angels saw when they witnessed what each angel was changed into after he was judged. I first saw one angel as he was transformed into a spirit of fear; condemned to exist in the Darkness captive to a tormenting nature; a nature that is always full of anxiety, worry, dread, and stress. I then saw another angel as he was transformed into a spirit of envy; condemned to exist in the Darkness continuously desiring to have what the remaining angels have, and always planning how it can obtain that which it desires, but never able to obtain. I then witnessed seeing another angel transformed into a spirit of hatred; condemned to exist in the Darkness with a nature that is always filled with all manner of bitterness, vengefulness, rage, anger, and malice. I also witnessed seeing another angel as it was transformed into a spirit of confusion; condemned to exist in the Darkness without any order in it’s thoughts, always full of frustration and madness, tossed back & forth and to & fro because it never knows exactly what to do. I then saw another angel as it was transformed into a spirit of arrogance; condemned to exist in the Darkness with a nature that thinks that it is more important and more superior to all others, yet it is full of loneliness because it is always being ignored by others. I then saw another angel as it was transformed into a spirit of hopelessness, condemned to exist in the Darkness with a nature that is full of depression, helplessness, sadness, and despair because it can do nothing to deliver itself from the Darkness and Death that it is captive to. I witnessed another angel as it was transformed into a spirit of lasciviousness; condemned to exist in the Darkness with a nature that is full of lust that can never find any lasting satisfaction or contentment. Even when it gets what it lusts to have, it immediately begins to lust to have more. I then witnessed another angel as it was transformed into a spirit of infirmity, condemned to exist in the Darkness with a nature of sickness. It was sick from head to toe with all manner of sickness and disease, and it can never get healthy. I was sure that this was the demon that came upon Job because it also was covered with these big, gross looking boils. As miserable as these demons are, the greatest misery of all belonged to Lucifer when he was changed into Satan because he was the only one that was filled with all the natures of this Darkness & Death. James 4:5 “Do you think that the scripture says in vain, “The spirit that dwells in us lusts to envy?” Luke 13:11 “And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.” Jude 5,6 “But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their first estate (that which God had created them to be), but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day.” As I witnessed these fallen angels being transformed into demons, and seeing what manner of miserable nature they were becoming, it did not take much for me to comprehend where this realm of outer darkness was that they not only dwelled in, but ruled over. I then understood that the curse that came upon Adam and Eve after they fell to believing the same lie that Lucifer and his angels had been deceived by, was that their minds and bodies became the habitation for all these demons whose nature was Darkness and Death. Fallen man had become subject to the fallen nature of these wicked and unclean spirits that inhabited the desires of their heart and imaginations of their thoughts. This curse that had come upon fallen man is now the only nature that fallen man is familiar with. I clearly understood then where all of the miserable thoughts come from that rule over the thoughts of the carnal mind. Is it any wonder why the Lord says, “To be carnally minded is death”? Yet the thoughts that the Lord calls death is the only thinking that natural man is familiar with; the death that is separated by nature from all life and fellowship with God. Ephesians 4:17-19 AMP “So this I say and solemnly testify in [the name of] the Lord [as in His presence], that you must no longer live as the heathen (the Gentiles) do in their perverseness [in the folly, vanity, and emptiness of their souls and the vanity] of their minds. Their moral understanding is darkened and their reasoning is clouded. [They are] alienated (estranged, self-banished) from the life of God [with no share in it; this is] because of the ignorance (the want of knowledge and perception, the willful blindness) that is deep-seated in them, due to their hardness of heart [to the insensitiveness of their moral nature]. In their spiritual apathy they have become callous and past feeling and reckless and have abandoned themselves [a prey] to unbridled sensuality, eager and greedy to indulge in every form of impurity [that their depraved desires may suggest and demand].” I then saw that as badly as each one of these fallen angels hated it’s new nature, there was one thing that they all fiercely hated even more; and that was the light of God because it allowed for others to see clearly them for what they had truly become: CURSED. Darkness can not change itself into light, nor can death change itself into life, and neither can those who are cursed changed themselves into the blessed. I then understood that as these fallen angels are now chained to the darkness by nature, so also is fallen man chained to the same curse by the fallen nature of the unclean spirits that dwell within him. This curse is so powerful that there are none of man’s laws or man’s religions that have any power to set one free of it. For the nature of man is ruled by the nature of the cursed spirits that rule over the thoughts in his mind and the desires in his heart. John 3:19,20 “This is the judgment (condemnation), that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.” Jeremiah 13:23-25 “Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Then may you also do good who are accustomed to do evil? Therefore I will scatter them like stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness. This is your lot, the portion of your measures from me,” says the LORD, “Because you have forgotten me and trusted in falsehood (eaten the same lies that say you can be your lord and god).” Joshua 9:23 “Now therefore you are cursed, and none of you shall be freed from your bondage…” I Corinthians 4:5 “Judge nothing before the time until the Lord comes and brings to light the hidden things of darkness and the counsels of the heart.” I Peter 2:1-5 “But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies (opinions), even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah…9 “but then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness (self-righteousness) and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord. But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they do not understand and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; and they shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children, which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray….” Ephesians 5:6 “Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore, do not be partakers of them.” As awful as this curse was, what I saw next caused the angels that remained to fear and tremble even more. It left no doubt in me where the root of all their fear and trembling came from and that is when they saw God completely sever the love relationship that each one these fallen angels had once enjoyed with his Creator. I saw that not one of these angels that remained could not bear the thought of being separated from the incredible love that God had for each of them. I saw that all these angels knew that it is the love of God that gives purpose and meaning for all life: to love and be loved. They remembered how all of these cursed angels used to be, creatures that had once praised, and exalted, and glorified God for all of the good and blessings that his love had freely given to them. I then knew that this fear of separation from God was at the root of what really brought all this great fear and trembling among all of these angels that had not fallen. Then the Lord confirmed these things for me when he then quickened to me that the “fallen nature” that came upon Adam and Eve after they fell, it did not originate in the garden, but it actually originated in heaven when Lucifer and his angels were stripped of their nature of light and life, and became that cursed with a nature of darkness and death; which was the same nature that then came upon Adam and Eve after they fell. I then marveled when I realized that Lucifer, his angels, and Adam and Eve all fell to the same lie, and I marveled at many wicked desires that this one lie can arouse: to be as God so that you can receive glory, and honor, and exaltation, and recognition for yourself; to be as God so that you can be in control over your own life; to be as God so that you can judge others; to be as God so that you can decide for yourself the difference between right and wrong, between what is good and evil, and what you desire to be truth and lies; to be as God so that you can do what is right in your own eyes; to be as God so that you can do your own will; and to be as God by showing doing the same good works that God does, but without the presence of any of his love. It was not getting drunk or high on drugs; it was not swearing or cursing; it was not sexual fornication or adultery; it was not any sickness or disease; it was not stealing or murder; and it was not smoking cigarettes that brought this curse upon any of them, but this curse has come upon all of the fallen as a result for believing the lie that disrupts the entire order in the kingdom of God. one lie that tempts one to believe that he can be as God when he speaks good words and does right works so that he can receive his own glory and recognition. I then understood that the only reward that awaits those who believe this lie is the curse of darkness and death that separates from God. It was certainly not hard for me to then see that as that lie was in the beginning, so also is it still very much alive today, as men continue to try to show themselves to be as God, or as Christ. The Lord then said to me, “Have I not given good warning to my people saying that many will come in my name; and by calling themselves Christians, they will deceive many by their good words and righteous works? These are they who are still subject to the same desires that their father the Devil is subject to: to show themselves to be as God through their goodness and self-righteous works. These are those workers of iniquity that come in my name to show themselves to be as Christ; but in the end they will stand before me and plead saying: “Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? Lord, have we not fasted and tithed in your name? Lord, have we not cast out demons in your name? Lord, have we not preached the gospel in your name? Lord, have we not done many wonderful works in your name?” These are they who did all these things to be seen and accepted by man so that they could satisfy their desires for recognition and glory. Many will also come in my name, and just like Lucifer, they will even pervert the use of the gifting and the anointing that I have given to them to their own purposes so that they can establish a name and a reputation for their ownselves through the glory, the honor, the recognition, and the praise they received from others for their good words and righteous works. If it were possible, these would even deceive the very elect.” John 8:44 “You are of your father the Devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” Galatians 5:26 “Let us not be desirous for vain glory, provoking one another and envying one another.” II Corinthians 11:13-15 “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.” Matthew 24:4,5 “And Jesus said to them, “Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name saying, “I am Christ”; and they shall deceive many.” Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to me on that day, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name cast out demons, and in your name done many wonderful works?” And then I will declare to them, “I never knew you; depart from me you who work iniquity.” Isaiah 48:9-11 “For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I do not cut you off. Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake, even for my own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted (Those who come in his name speaking good words and doing righteous works so that they may receive glory & recognition from men)? I will not give my glory unto another.” John 7:18 “He who speaks from himself (of his own opinions and desires for recognition) seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.” Matthew 6:1,2 AMP Jesus said “TAKE CARE not to do your good deeds publicly or before men, in order to be seen by them; otherwise you will have no reward [reserved for and awaiting you] with and from your Father who is in heaven. So whenever you give to the poor, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites in the synagogues and in the streets like to do so that they may be recognized, and honored, and praised by men. Truly I tell you, they have their reward in full already.” Matthew 6:1,2 NKJ Jesus said, “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.” Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full (their own glory and recognition). But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you (with that which they ask for).” Matthew 6:16-18 “Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.” Matthew 23:26 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside you are full of dead bones and everything unclean (self-righteousness/Isa.64:6). In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.” The Lord continued speaking, “When I came into this world, the world did not know me and my own people did not receive me. When I came to my own, they rejected me because I did not come to praise, or to honor, or to exalt, or to glorify any man for his words or his works. And neither did I come to walk in a show so that I myself could be praised, or honored, or exalted, or glorified by men. I was despised (taken lightly) and rejected because I did not respect any man’s person. Is it not written, “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God? What then is there for me to respect? Is it not written, “There are none who are good; no, not one”? What then is there for me to respect? Is it not also written, “There are none who understand or know God?” What then is there for me to respect? Is it not also written, “There are none who are righteous; no, not one?” What then is there for me to respect? Should I have given respect to those who were deceived and thought that they were righteous because of their own good words and works? Why should I have given man any respect for doing the very same things that caused Lucifer and his angels to fall from heaven? Are not these the same works that provoked God to wrath? Those who walk in a show only do so that they may win man’s approval, man’s acceptance, man’s recognition, and man’s glory. If I had respected any man’s person, then I would have had respect a man for those the words that he speaks and works that he does to please men; and it would have required for me to give honor and respect to the same lies that bring nothing but the curse of darkness and death upon all who are deceived into thinking that they are something that they are not.” Luke 16:15 “And Jesus said to them, “You are those who justify (to make righteous) yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.” Psalm 39:5,6 “Behold, you have made my days as an handbreadth; and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Truly, every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. Surely every man walks in a vain show…” I Corinthians 8:2 (This is the apostle Paul speaking to the church at Corinth; a church that had the gifts of the Spirit) “If any man thinks that he knows anything, then he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.” II Chronicles 19:7 “Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it. For there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.” Galatians 6:2 “But of these who seemed to be something, (whatsoever they were, it makes no matter to me, because God accepts no man's person) for they who seemed to be something in conference added nothing to me.” Psalm 40:4 “Blessed is that man that makes the LORD his trust, and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.” Philippians 2: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God did not consider it robbery to be equal with God (God is love), but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men (the likeness of sinful flesh). And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to the death, even the death of the cross.” Galatians 5:24 “Those who are Christ have crucified the flesh of it’s affections and desires (to show themselves to be as God)…26 Let us not be desirous for vain glory…” “I know those who are mine because they are those who take up their cross and follow me. Mine are those who have crucified the wisdom of pride, that corrupt wisdom that ny nature desires to show itself to be as God, and that does so because it desires to be glorified and recognized as God is. The wisdom of pride is that wisdom that corrupted Lucifer with it’s love for self; the ungodly love that corrupts the entire order of God’s love. Those who have crucified the wisdom of pride are those who have mortified the flesh of all it’s worldly desires for it’s own glory, and honor, and praise, and recognition. All of the lies that the Devil speaks, he speaks to arouse the desires of this world: the lust of the flesh (the desire for one do his own will), the lust of the eyes (the desire for one to be right in his own sight), and the pride of this life (the reputation that a man makes for himself). Those who are of this world, they will hear the lies of the Devil that tempt them to show themselves to be as God by their righteous works and good words; and they will speak of these things so that they may receive the glory that the wisdom of pride desires to have. The world will hear them and reward them with glory and recognition they desire to have. But it shall not be so with those who have followed me; for their heart’s desire shall be to worship only God. It is his words and works that they will speak of to glorify the one and only God. It is impossible for the love of God to flow freely through any man while the wisdom of pride remains his heart’s desire. It is only through the daily cross that the fullness of my wisdom can come forth without being mixed with the wisdom of pride.” I John 4:4-6 “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world; therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us, and he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.” Obadiah 3 “The pride of your heart has deceived you…” Matthew 16:23-25 “But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are an offense to me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.” Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” Galatians 5:24 “And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and desires…26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.” I Corinthians 1:18,19 “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” Isaiah 29:13,14 “Therefore the Lord said: “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths and honor me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the commandment of men. Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, a marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.” Philippians 1:15-17 “Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill. The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.” Again, the Lord gave me another pause in this vision, I when he did, I began to feel a great increase within me of the same fear and trembling that I had seen in the thoughts of the angels. Then all of sudden, much of works and blessings the Lord has done for me began to come into my remembrance. I first remembered how precious I regarded my calling and my relationship with God as I remembered the time before the Lord called me, when I had this world’s recognition, and fame, and wealth, and glory offered to me when I was offered an opportunity to not only work on the New York Stock Exchange, but to own a seat there also. To many, this would have been the an opportunity of a lifetime. While I was there, I literally met, and became briefly acquainted with a few of the richest and most powerful men in the world. All of these men all obtained to some degree or another the best of what this world has to offer in recognition, glory, wealth, and fame, yet there was not one of them that I had personally met that had obtained any of the satisfaction, or peace, or contentment, or joy that my heart desired to have at time. In fact, I saw that many of these men lived some of the most miserable lives that I have ever witnessed, but at the time, I did not understand why. I know that many would think that they were miserable because they did not have God in their lives, and that is very true. But the Lord later revealed to me why the wealthy of this world are really so miserable. A poor man, or a man of medium income, who is not content with his life, he carries with him the hope that some day, he may hit the jackpot or win the lottery, so to speak. That is, he carries with the hope that he can come into this world’s wealth because he believes that money will pretty much solve his problems and free him from all of his worries. Well, these men certainly had obtained that wealth, but they discovered the truth about wealth, and fame, and glory, that it is only an illusion that lasts but for a brief time, and it is impossible for money and fame to give to you any of the things that the heart truly desires to have. These men were miserable because now that they had obtained all that which the flesh could desire to have, they found that it was powerless to bring any lasting joy, or peace, or contentment that their hearts desired to have. What made these men become so miserable was that they had all lost hope that they could ever find any of these precious gifts in this life because they had hoped that their money and fame would have brought these things unto them. There are not many things that I have seen that can bring a man to a more miserable state of existence that he who becomes hopeless. It is a lifeless and empty existence, almost exactly like the life that is lived by those have been deceived by false doctrines and false religions. Any business or religion whose lifeblood depends on the works that men do and the words they speak, it is lifeless and empty. But those who walk in the true faith, they are so full of hope because of the precious promises that God has given to us that reveals the wonderful works that his love is going to perform for all those who believe them. By faith and hope, God begins to fill them with the treasures of abundant life with that which there hearts truly desire to have: peace of mind, faith, joy, contentment, purpose of being, love and satisfaction. Again, I was never more thankful to be where I am in the Lord than I was in the moment of remembering all that which the love of the Lord has done for me. It gives me a chill to think that I could have ended up on Wall Street, hopeless to obtain anything other than that which money and fame can get you: nothing but fleeting glory. It goes without say that we all know that there is only one source of abundant life, and that is Jesus Christ. Romans 15:13 “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” II Peter 1:1-4 “Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature (abundant life), having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” Luke 12:15 “And Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness (lust), for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” I Peter 1:24 “ All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away.” Matthew 16:26 “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” Colossians 3:15 “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.” Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Isaiah 26:3 “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you. I then remembered how it felt when the Lord first saved me and gave me the gift of his Holy Spirit, and how in one instant I went from being a being a very hopeless and depressed atheist into the belief that Jesus Christ and God were real: Priceless. I also remembered how I marveled when the love of God first blessed me with his the gift of his Spirit, and how all of my hopelessness and depression just disappeared, and after 21 years, neither has ever returned to trouble me. Even so, I also remembered how troubled I was in those early years when I remembered how fearful and concerned I was because many so-called Christians around me did not approve of the things that the Lord was teaching me, but the Lord has now delivered me from all those fears, and I am no longer concerned how any man thinks of me, for my fellowship and my life is with the Lord God who called me for his purposes. Now all that this fear and concern is gone, my heart is free to treasure all that the love that God desires to give to me and bless me with: Priceless. I also remembered how the love of God had completely delivered me from my very mean and short temper: Priceless. And how he instantly delivered me from an 18 year, 2 ½ pack a day cigarette habit: Priceless. I then remembered how I first went to church, and I was presented with two doctrines that I was told that I had to believe, but the Spirit stirred within me to trouble me about these words. So I began to pray and seek the Lord to see what he had to say, which I had never done before that time. In just about a week, the Lord had come and taught me his truth about both of these false doctrines.: Priceless. But even with this, I then remembered how I had allowed myself to be deceived by leaning on my own understanding for interpretation of the scriptures. I went astray and became very religious, self-righteous, and very dead in my relationship with the Lord. My error had led me to separate myself from all of the joy, the peace, and the fellowship that I had been experiencing through my faith with the Lord; but the Lord of truth cannot and will not fellowship with those who honor the lies of the Devil, which is what I had done. But when I realized that all my joy and peace was gone, I also realized that I must have erred and departed from the Lord somehow, because I know that his love and joy would not have departed from me. So I turned from my works, and turned back to the Lord, and his love not only corrected me how I my error, but his presence returned to me also: Priceless. Proverbs 21:16 “The man that wanders out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.” I then remembered when the Lord showed to me that when he had given to me the gift of his Holy Spirit, that he had given to me the very same spirit that is in God and in his son Jesus Christ: Priceless. I remembered how he has written my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life: Priceless. I remembered how his love, since the day he called me, has kept all of my sins and iniquities covered under the blood of his love, until the time that cleanses me of them, which he has already done with most of them: Priceless. I remembered how he has repeatedly delivered from the cursed spirits of darkness and death that once ruled over my thinking with such evil thoughts as depression, frustration, hatred, confusion, lust, vengefulness, loneliness, self-condemnation, impatience, unforgiveness, insecurity, discontentment, envy, bitterness, uncertainty, and worry: Priceless. I remembered how his love has cast out all of my fears that were accompanied with anxiety, despair, stress, dread, and worry: and how he has now given to me his peace to rule over the thoughts of my heart: Priceless. I remembered how he has taken away the judgments that I once used to judge others to be evil, or to accuse others, or to blame others, or to point the finger of disapproval at, or criticize others with, or to find fault with others, or to condemn others with, and even to justify my ownself with: Priceless. He has given me his name to call on whenever I am troubled or whenever I have a need: Priceless. He has corrected me of my doubts about his love and my unbelief of his words: Priceless. He has opened my blind eyes and taught me intimate secrets about his heart and he has revealed his mysteries to me: Priceless. He has given to me understanding so that I could learn the truth about his words: Priceless. He has made given to me his promises, and then made them to be my inheritance and my future: Priceless. II Timothy 4:18 “And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” Zephaniah 3:15 “The LORD has taken away your judgments, he has cast out your enemy. The king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of you and you shall not see evil any more.” Matthew 13:10-11 “And the disciples came and said, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given…13 “Therefore I speak to them in parables because they seeing, do not see; and hearing, they do not hear, and neither do they understand. I then remembered how the Lord had shown to me how he has given to us the gift of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, and that if we are willing to lay down our cursed life, then his Spirit is not only able to free us from all sin and death, but to remove all things that have alienated and separated us from the precious love of God: Priceless. It has been around twenty years since I have woken up in a bad mood: Priceless. He has also given to us that blessed hope that believes whenever he appears, we are going to see him as he is, and then we are going to be changed into his glorious image: Priceless. At that moment, my heart was filled with the most gratitude, and appreciation, and thankfulness, and praise, and love that I have at any other time since the Lord had called me. It was funny that as I remembered many of the things that the Lord did for me at the beginning of my walk, I was remembering them in an entirely different manner than when they actually occurred. As I considered why this was so, the Lord quickened to me that when they occurred, my heart was still blind to see that it was his love moving upon doing these things, and I was more fearful that if I shared these things with others, I might be scoffed at or rejected for what the Lord had done. But now the Lord has cast out the fear of man, as well as any desire that I had be accepted by men, so that I can enjoy the remembrances of what the Lord has done regardless of how others may receive or reject it. I could now so clearly see how the works that the love of God had done for me in the past that I was now thanking, and praising, and glorifying him with more joy than when they actually occurred. For now the Lord has given me a pure heart that is free from man-pleasing and the fears of man: Priceless. My heart was never so thankful to have the love of God in my life as it was when all of these remembrances came flowing out of my own memories. His love has always been there for me, even when I have sinned or erred: Priceless. He has proved to me how much he passionately loves me, and how he has given to me the hand of his love: Priceless. Psalm 105:1-5 “Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon his name. Make known his deeds among the peoples! Sing to him, sing psalms to Him. Talk of all his wondrous works! Glory in his holy name. Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord! Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his face evermore! Remember his marvelous works which he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.” Psalm 100:1-5 “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that has made us, and not we ourselves. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endures to all generations.” Suddenly, my calling, the gift of the Holy Spirit, all of the awesome works that God has done in me, all that the evil that he has delivered me from, all of the belief of his words that God has worked in me, all the faith that God has increased in me, all my hope in his promises, all that he has healed me of, all of the truth that he has taught to me, all of the blessings of his love, all of the gifts of knowledge, and understanding, and wisdom that he has given to me, and all of the fellowship and communion that I now enjoy with my heavenly Father, seemed to jump through the roof in value to me. It was like I had always valued all that God had done for me, but now that the Lord was bringing all of these things into my remembrance at one time of what he has done was allowing to see just how precious and valuable it is to have the love of God in my life. I was like I felt that when the Lord had done these thing before, I just perceived that they were done out of his godly duty for those who like he was doing them out of his Godly duty for those who believed and asked for him to do them. But now that my eyes were being opened to see that it was his passionate love that was doing all of these things….wow! It was like when I saw God doing these things out of duty, they had great value to me, but I would compare that to someone who carries a lot of money around on his person. But once I could that the Lord had done all of things out of his incredible love for me, well, that that pocket money was then changed into precious gold bars that needed to be stored in the treasury of my heart; not only to be treasured, but to also be guarded and protected. Being reminded of all his blessings, all of his wonderful works, all of the spiritual gifts that he has given to me, and even remembering the correction that came forth from the passionate love in his heart: Priceless. I then remembered the evening that I was in Lakeland, Florida in 2008. And on one of those evenings, when the presence of God was as strong as I had ever witnessed anywhere, there were people being healed all around me without anyone praying or laying hands on them. I myself was healed that evening of a degenerative hip condition, and no one laid hands on me or prayed me. There was no man there that could receive the recognition or glory for my healing because there was no man there that even prayed for me. It was as if I just passed through the shadow of the Lord, and I was healed. The Lord later on spoke to me and asked, “Did you see my love moving?” In truth, I did not see the love of God healing me at that moment, because I was still blind to see his love. All that I saw that evening was miracles and healings that I thought came because we “believed”. But now the Lord has opened my eyes to see that it goes far beyond seeing miracles and healings, it is seeing his love moving to bless and do good for those who will have him. Seeing and healing: Priceless. Then the Lord brought back into my remembrance how his love has corrected me of my faith. This, without any doubt, is the most precious of all my remembrances because it was in this correction that the doors were opened which allowed for my draw near to God, and for him to draw near to me. When I was babe in Christ, knowing that God was real, but completely ignorant of who and what he really was, I thought that my faith was proved by the works that I did for God. I really thought that the more good works that my zeal was able to perform in the name of the Lord, the more I was proving how strong my faith was him. If I wanted to increase my faith, I just did more good works. I was so blind and ignorant at that time that I thought the scriptures were given to us to counsel us in the works that we must do for God. Of course, this kind of faith required for me to build my faith by the works of my own hands, and the only words of God that I was able to hear at that time were the interpretations that my own understanding were giving to me of the scriptures. These were the days that my faith stood in my own wisdom, which led me to do what was right in my own eyes. These were also the days of my pretenses and self-righteousness. These were the days that I lost all of the peace and joy that I had experienced with the Lord in the beginning because I was now walking alone, without any need of his assistance. Even so, I continued read and seek the Lord daily. I Corinthians 2:4,5 “And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power so that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men…” I Timothy 5:11,12 “But refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry, having condemnation because they have cast off their first faith.” After a time, the zeal of my own strength began to run out, and my first faith began to grow burdensome, vain, and lifeless. Then I began seeking the Lord, asking him what had happened to the peace and joy that I had experienced in the beginning. Then the Lord began to give me his understanding of the scriptures, which completely contradicted my own understanding of them, and he began to show me that my faith should not stand in my own wisdom and understanding, nor in my zeal and works, but that it should only stand in the power of God, and the works that he does according to his words. It was here clearly opened my eyes to see that it was not my works that were to accompany my faith, but it was his works. The Lord has done many, many wonderful works in the 31 years since he first called me, but to this day, I still do not consider any work that he has done to be more valuable or precious than the day he rocked my world when he gave to me his understanding of his words, which then allowed for my faith to also change. No longer was my focus on any of the works that I thought I had to do to prove my faith, but my focus was now on God, and the works that he desired to do in my heart. I Corinthians 2:4,5 “And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power so that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” Psalm 57:2 “I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performs all things for me.” As I remembered back to that correction, I remembered that there was two things that the Lord told me on that day that have never left me. The first one was, “Mitt, if I am not working in your heart, then your faith is dead.” if God is the only one who knows the heart with it’s intentions and desires, then only he is able to declare the works that needs to be done. The Lord not only made it clear to me with this word that it was indeed his works that were to accompany my faith, but he also made it clear as to where he was going to be doing his works: in my heart. How else is a man going to believe on the Lord, trust the Lord, be faithful and true to the Lord, be obedient to the Lord, follow the Lord, and love the Lord with all of his heart, all of his mind, and all of his soul unless God himself does that work? In my first faith, I did a lot of good works, but it never even entered into my mind that these “heart works” were the works that needed to be done. I never even thought to try and do any of these works. Are not these the works that the Lord does so that he can build the relationship that he desires to have with his people? I then realized that all that I had accomplished in my “first” faith was doing the best that I could to show myself to be like Jesus Christ; doing the very same kind of works that Lucifer and his fallen angels did when they tried to show themselves to be as God. Deuteronomy 30:6 “And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul that you may live.” John 6:28,29 “Then said they to Jesus, “What shall we do so that we might work the works of God?” Jesus said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent.” Romans 10:10 “For with the heart man believes unto righteousness…” The second thing that the Lord said to me was this, “Mitt, I am not going to make you great in my sight, but I am going to become great in your eyes.” The very first thought that I had after the Lord spoke these words to me was, “Wow! If the Lord is going to become great in my eyes, then the only way that this could be possible is for the Lord to do great and mighty things for me! Lord, make yourself great in my sight lest I deceive myself and think that I am great in my own eyes.” Thanks be to God, this new faith immediately removed the burden that I had been under that required for me to do the works; the burden that no matter what I did, it was never good enough. It was in this second realm of faith that I began to receive the blessings, the gifts, and the works that the love of God promises to do for us in his words. But even above all of the blessings, all of the gifts, and all of the wonderful works that Father has done for me under this new faith, the greatest thing of all that has happened is that this was the faith where I began to draw near to my heavenly Father, and he began to draw near to me. Fellowship, communion, and a love relationship with God: Priceless. It was in this faith that the Lord began to show me that the great and mighty things that I had not known was the great love that God has for me, and for all men. The mighty thing that I did not know was the power of God that is able to do things exceedingly abundantly above all that we can think or ask. There is no limitations or boundaries that can be put on the works that God’s love is willing to do for his people. Though there are no boundaries or limitations in God’s heart, a man can certainly limit these great and mighty things through his own doubts, fears, unbelief, and reasonings. But the more works that I asked Father to do for me, the more he did; and the more he did, the less, and less I heard from my doubts, fears, unbelief, and reasonings. It is through this faith that all things that have changed in me have been done by the works of God’s hands. It is through this faith that stands in the power of God that I no longer walk as lord and god over my own Christianity, making a good show and doing my own works. Letting God be God, and me watching him doing great and mighty things before my eyes: Priceless. Luke “And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” Matthew 9:29 “…According to your faith, let it be done unto you.” Ephesians 3:19,20 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Matthew 13:58 “And Jesus did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” When all of these memories began to subside, It suddenly struck me that I had been witnessing memories in he angels of the Lord, and then the Spirit of the Lord brought forth many of my own memories of what the Lord has done for me. I then sat there considering, trying to comprehend and see if there was any relationship between the two sets of memories. Then the Lord said to me, “What does your heart treasure?” Because of all these memories that had just flooded my mind, I did not hesitate to answer, “Having you to be my loving Father, and my God.” I then realized that this fear and trembling that had increased in my heart had only increased after I began to greatly treasure all of the memories of what the Lord has done for me. I was not at all frightened of God, but I was fearful of what my life and my future would be like if I did not have him to be my loving Father and my God; and I knew that this was exactly what his angels feared and trembled at also. I then perceived that this fear and trembling that had come forth in my heart and mind was really a treasure that could only be measured by how much a man values having the Lord to be his loving Father and his God. If he has not allowed for the Lord to do much for him, then he will not have many memories of the Lord to treasure. What could a man treasure more than having the Lord God who loves without measure to be his Father and his great and mighty God; a treasure so great and precious that it must be guarded, and protected, and watched over. Fear and trembling: Priceless. Matthew 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Isaiah 33:6 “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, and the strength of salvation; The fear of the LORD is his treasure.” I was in this awesome state of praise, remembering and thanking God for all of the wonderful things that the Lord has done for me. I then began to wonder why it was at this time that the Lord would remind me of all that he has done for me, as well as show me why his angels have this fear and trembling in them. The Lord then brought into my remembrance that which he had taught me several years about the fear of the Lord; that it is the fear of the Lord that hates the evil of the darkness. I remembered how the Lord had first taught the fear of the Lord to me through that which is written in Proverbs 8:13 “The fear of the Lord hates evil: pride, arrogance, and every evil way.” The Lord had coupled this verse with that which is written in Proverbs 3:7 “Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” It was also with this instruction that the Lord began to show me just how he felt about the pride of man by bringing into my remembrance such verses as “God resists the proud…”; and, “The pride of your heart has deceived you”; and, “Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination in the sight of God”; and, “Pride goes before destruction”. The Lord had taught me a man could read these verses over and over again, even till the end of his life, and he could even be in complete agreement with how God sees pride to be so evil, but he still would not be able to hate his own pride unless God put the fear of the Lord in him. It was also at this time that the Lord taught me that it is only pride that loves to hear the lies that Satan tempts us all with; the lies that say that you can show yourself to be as God by your own good words, your outward appearances, and your righteous works. It was here that I began to understand why man cannot hate his pride except the fear of the Lord be within him; for what man can hate his own righteousness, his own goodness, his best efforts, the opinions he forms of himself, his good intentions, that which he accomplishes for himself, and being in control over his own life? Simply put, pride does not see any need for God, nor does it see any need for God’s help, and neither does it see any necessity for God to change concerning it’s own heart and mind. Pride neither loves God, nor can it receive the blessings of God’s love. The glory, the recognition, the honor, and the praise that pride gives to God is only lip service so that it can be accepted by others. Then Lord had said to me, “If a man does not hate his pride, then he will not have any desire for me to change him. If a man loves the lies that Satan uses to feed his pride, then he will hate the truth that reveals that there are none good nor any there any who are righteous. There are none who do good and there are none who are righteous because all goodness and righteousness comes forth from the love of God, not the works that pride does to show itself to be as God. The Lord then showed to me the parable that is written in Luke 18:9-14 where Jesus is speaking to all who “think” that they are righteous by the words there pride boasts of and by the works that their pride has accomplished for itself. The proud hypocrite stands in the temple to show himself to be as God, declaring what he thinks about himself and the good works that he has done, completely ignoring and denying the truth of scriptures. Jesus also said of such like in John 8:44 “You are of your father the Devil, and the desires of your father you will do (to show yourself to be as God so that you can receive your own glory and recognition). He was a murderer from the beginning, and there and he does not abide in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own; for he is liar, and the father of it.” He that loves the these lies hates the truth. He that hates the truth will also seek to kill the truth, either by the blade of his tongue or by the weapon in his hand. Psalm 55:19 “God will hear, and afflict them, even he who abides from of old. Selah. They do not change, because they do not fear God.” Luke 18:9 “Jesus spoke this parable to those who trust in themselves that they are righteous, and who despised others. “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood…” Proverbs 16:5 “Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD….” Luke 16:15 “And Jesus said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.” Matthew 24:15 ““Therefore when you see the “abomination of desolation” spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand)…” II Thessalonians 2:2,3 “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” Galatians 3:1-3 "O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, "Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh?…5:4 "Christ is become of no effect to you, whosoever of you are, who are justified by the law (showing yourself to be as God); you are fallen from grace." Romans 1:18-25 “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because when they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were thankful, but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing themselves to be wise (showing themselves as God), they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image (the image of the beast) made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves (honoring each other with praise, recognition, and glory), who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” I was again mediating on the fear and trembling that I had seen in the angels, the fear and trembling that was in me, the fear of God, and pride, and I was wondering how these all connected. Then the Lord spoke to me and said, “The wisdom of God only thinks on the marvelous blessings and works that come forth from the love of God, while the wisdom of pride only marvels at the words and works that man does for himself.” The Lord then opened my understanding to comprehend that the wisdom of pride only values what man speaks of himself and what man is able to do for himself. The wisdom of God’s love, it only treasures those things that come from the love of God that is above. I then realized what the Lord was trying to show to me, that the fear and trembling that was in me, it hates the works of pride, and it loves all of the works that the love of God has performed for me, while pride loves the opposite. The wisdom of God’s love is the beginning of the fear of the Lord, and by his wisdom, we both love God and we fear and tremble at losing the love he has given to us. Through fear and trembling, we watch for the lies that could deceive us into believing, and loving, the image of what we could make of our ownselves. No man can love God and love pride, because it is by the wisdom of pride that man is deceived into creating a false image of himself, just as Lucifer and his angels did. This false image is an abomination in the sight of God because it is an image fashioned on lies and made by the hands of men. No man can have two masters. Matthew 6:19-21 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust do corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupts, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” * Note: If you read Matthew 6:1-18, you will read of the works that the hypocrites do to receive their reward: the reward that fills the treasures of their heart with the glory, and the honor, and the recognition that they desire to have from men, instead of God. I Peter 5:8,9 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the Devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.” Ephesians 5:6 “Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore, do not be partakers of them.” John 12:25 “He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.” Luke 14:25-27 “And there went great multitudes with him: and Jesus turned and said to them, “If any man comes to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, then cannot be my disciple. And whosoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, he cannot be my disciple.” Revelation 12:9,10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” Philippians 3:17-19 “Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an example. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ (no fear of God, no change in their lives), whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame (pride/Prov. 11:12), who mind earthly things (this world‘s glory & recognition).” It was in this moment that I began to feel like I was really beginning to understand what the apostle Paul meant when he wrote in Philippians 2:12 “Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with “fear and trembling”. Who could have ever known that the fear of the Lord is not about being frightened or afraid of God as man’s understanding teaches, but it is about being so thankful and so grateful for having the love of God in your life that you will be fearful and tremble at thought that you, through deceit could lose what has been given to you, just like Lucifer and his angels did. No man will take more heed to be watchful for Satan’s lies than the man who treasures having the Lord to be his loving Father and to be his God. The fear that man teaches, which comes from the father of all lies, instructs men to be so frightened of God that they become to afraid to even draw near to him. This type of fear is completely perverse because it only works to hinder any communion and fellowship that our heavenly Father desires to bless us with. I then remembered that when I was possessed by this perverse fear, I was afraid to ask anything of God because I was frightened that he would not answer me; which I would then take to mean that God had rejected me, or did not know, or even worse, one that God did not love. I allowed this perverse type of fear of the Lord to deceive me into believing that I should not even try to draw near to God because I was not good enough for God to love because of my sins, my faults, and my weaknesses. I do not know if I have heard of any lie that is greater than this one, except the lie that deceives men into believing that they can show themselves as God by their words and their works. There was also the time that I had also allowed for this perverse type of fear to deceive me into believing that God was surely going to condemn me for my sins and weaknesses because that is how I treated myself for these things. I was deceived into thinking that God’s thoughts were like my thoughts. The love of God does not show itself in guilt and condemnation but it reveals itself in mercy, and grace, and forgiveness. Thanks be to God that his love brought me out of those lies into that place where all that treasure is the truth; the truth that the love of God will abound in grace when my sin abounds, and his love will cast out all of my fears, especially the ungodly fears that Satan has designed to keep the people of God from ever drawing near to their loving Father. If a man is afraid to ask anything of God, then how can he receive anything from him? Ask, and it shall be given. If nothing is asked, then nothing is given. It is known that Satan is the imitator; that whatever God does, Satan tries to imitate so that he can show himself to be as God. It is for this reason that Satan has an imitation of the fear of the Lord; one designed to keep men away from the Lord rather than to draw near to him. Isaiah 29:14 “Wherefore the Lord said, “Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips they do honor me, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear towards me is taught by the precept of men.” I then began to get a deeper understanding that as this fear and trembling increased in me, so also did my discernment between these two kinds of the fear of God also increase. I now know that the fear Satan teaches describes God as being unapproachable, or some kind of dictator, or a God that is liar and will do as his word says he will do, or a tyrant of some kind, or a vengeful fault finder, or a God that belittles us for our weaknesses, and sins, and mistakes, or even as a controlling freak of some kind. Nothing but lies. God is pure love; the kind of love that no one could ever truly taste of, and then desire to be separated from. God is the only being, in all of the heavens and earth that truly loves each one of us, regardless of the state that we are in. God so loved me when I was an atheist, that he saved me and gave me the gift of his Spirit the first time I ever called out on him. God so loved me that even when I walked in the faith that delights in showing itself to be as God in words and works, his love came and corrected me. God does not change; and God is love. His love is always desiring to bless us, to do us good, to help us, to forgive us, to care for us, to comfort us, to correct us, to provide for us, and to give to us all that he has. He is the love that does not think of self, but has made us to be the object of his all his love. He is the love that is always faithful and true, that never fails. As mighty as his power is, even that is directed by his love. His love is so great that he always gives his beloved the freedom to make their own choices. It is not the love of God that we should be fearful of, but it is the lies that could seduce us into departing from the love of God into the love of self that we should be watchful for. II Timothy 3:1 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves…” Matthew 24:11,12 “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity (works done to show self to be as God) shall abound, the love of many shall grow cold.” Revelation 2:1-5 “Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write: “These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, “I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and how you can not bear them which are evil: and you have tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them to be liars. And you have borne, and have patience, and for my name's sake have labored, and have not fainted. Nevertheless I have something against you, because you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come to you quickly, and will remove your candlestick out of his place, except you repent.” The love of God will never separate itself from us, but the love of self will certainly lead one to separate himself from God, just as it did Lucifer and his angels. But thanks be to God, that those who desire God’s love, who diligently seek for him, he blesses them with the gift of the fear of the Lord; the fear that helps keep them from making an eternally bad decision. Just like the angels that I saw, this fear and trembling dwells only in our memories. But if an occasion arises where Satan comes to entice us with his lies, then this fear and trembling springs forth from our memories to discern between the darkness of Satan’s lies, and the light of God’s truth. This fear and trembling also comes forth to help us because the true fear of God not only sees lies of Satan for what they are, but it also hates them. It is really hard to get enticed or seduced by that which you hate. I have wondered at times if the darkness could even exist without this one lie and all of the wicked desires that it arouses. Proverbs 8:13 “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil…” Psalm 97:10 “You who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints and he delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.” Psalm 119:163 “I hate and abhor lying, but I love your law.” Psalm 119:128 “Therefore, I consider all your precepts, concerning all things to be right; I hate every false way.” Psalm 52:2-4 “Your tongue devises destruction, like a sharp razor, O worker of deceit. You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah. You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.” Psalm 34:11 “Come, you children, hearken to me, and I will teach you the fear of the LORD.” Psalm 25: “What man is he that fears the LORD? Him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.” |
Proverbs 2:1-5 “My son, if you will receive my words, and hide my commandments with you so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; Yes, if you cry out for knowledge and lift up your voice for understanding; If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures, then shall you understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.”
Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures for ever.”
By this point, I was now perceiving that in this last hour, the hour that we are in the midst of, surrounded by so many that are showing to show themselves to be as God, if God could give to us a better gift than his wisdom of his love, then I do not know what it is. For the wisdom of his love brings forth this fear and trembling that hates lies and pride. I was seeing that this fear and trembling in me was a gift from above to be like my own spiritual watchman, to help guard all of the love and the blessings that Father has given to me, and to help protect me from the deceitful lies of Satan. I do not have any desire to lose what Lucifer and his angels lost when they were deceived. I realized that as this fear and trembling was increasing in me, so also were all of these memories of God’s love, God’s gifts, and the great and mighty works that God has done for me was greatly increasing in value in my heart. The wisdom of God’s love: Priceless.
Jude 24,25 “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”
Jeremiah 32:38-40 “And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: and I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts so that they shall not depart from me.”
Proverbs 4:7 “Wisdom is the principal thing. Therefore get wisdom, and with all your getting, get understanding.”
Proverbs 2:6 “For the Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.”
James 1:5 “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask ? (a hint; not your pastor or any of your brethren)
Isaiah 33:6 “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, and the strength of salvation; The fear of the LORD is his treasure.”
I was continuing meditating and thanking God for all these blessings of his love that he had brought back into my remembrance when the Spirit of the Lord quickened to me that which Jesus said in Matthew 24, when he warned us three times in just this one chapter alone how we should all take heed to watch for the deceivers that will come forth at the end of the world; especially the ones that come taking in his name. These are they who will call themselves Christians, but their words and their works will be according the wisdom of pride, good words that are spoken and righteous works that will be done to be seen of men so that they can feed their desires for their own glory and recognition. The Lord also reminded me that the deceit is going to be so great, that if it were possible, even the very elect of God would be deceived. I then remembered that the apostle Paul said of these end times, that “evil” men would grow worse and worse, deceiving themselves and then deceiving others. I then realized for the first time that the elect of God, these are they who will have this spirit of fear and trembling; and by that spirit of the fear of the Lord, they will hate lies and hate evil. It is by reason of this hatred of lies that they will not able to be deceived. Then the Spirit of the quickened to me that which is written in Malachi 3:16:18:
“Then those who feared the LORD spoke often to one another; and the LORD listened and heard them, so a book of remembrance was written before him for those who fear the LORD and who meditate on His name. “They shall be mine,” says the LORD of hosts, “On the day that I make them my jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.” Then you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked (those who do good works and speak the lies of flattery to receive glory, and honor, and recognition, and praise from men); between one who serves God, and one who does not serve Him.”
Romans 16:17,18 “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches they will deceive the hearts of the simple.”
Matthew 24:24 “For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they should deceive the very elect.”
II Timothy 3:13 “And evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”
II Thessalonians 2:3,4 “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
II Timothy 4:1,2 “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron…”
Ephesians 5:6,7 “Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Therefore, be you not a partaker with them.”
II Timothy 3:1-5 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection (lost their first love), trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
Jeremiah 32:40 “And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.”
With this one passage of scripture in Malachi, I then began to perceive why the Lord had taken me in the Spirit at this point in time to show to me this fear and trembling that is stored in the memories of his angels. I also understood why the Lord so greatly desires to give this precious gift to all those who treasure having his love and his fellowship, and that is because it will keep them from the lies that are so enticing that angels fell to them. I also understood why God has given to his elect, those who God has chosen to be his precious jewels, this fear and trembling because we are coming into the midst of the greatest deceit that has ever been in earth. A man can watch Christian TV, and see a man there who shows himself to be as God through his deceitful words and works of iniquity, and the whole world can witness it, and believe that he is a righteous man. Without the wisdom of God, the simple will always be deceived by outward appearances and good words.
Revelation 12:9 “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world. He was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him.”
II Corinthians 11:12-15 “But what I do, that I will do so that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works (iniquity).”
I also understood that by reason of this precious gift, those fear and tremble, the elect will be the ones that will be able to discern between the righteous and the wicked; between those who do serve God out of a pure heart, and those who serve God in name only. only by the fear of the Lord shall the elect will be able to discern the true image of Christ from the outward image that the wicked project themselves to be. I was truly beginning to see, and understand, how Satan truly does have the power to imitate the works of God, but his works can never come forth from a loving heart, but from a heart that lusts for some kind of recognition and glory for itself. I was shocked when I realized Lucifer used the very gifting and anointing that God had given to him to help him deceive his fellow angels. I then remembered that Jesus said that we would not be able to discern one another by the gifts of the Spirit, but that it would be by the fruits of the wisdom that is within: for the wisdom of God is full of the good fruits of the love that not think to glorify itself, but this shows itself in peace, forgiveness, longsuffering, goodness, mercy, joy, grace, and in humility before God, and not before men.
Matthew 23:27,28 ““Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead bones and all uncleanness (self-righteousness: Isaiah 64:6). Even so, you outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.”
James 3:14-18 NKJ “But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but it is earthly, sensual, and demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”
I was then thinking that the Lord had shown to me all that he was going to show me concerning this visitation when the Lord took me back to the original thought that had repeated itself over and over while I was in prayer; the one that kept saying, “Lord, why do I feel as though I have hardly have anyone to minister to?” Then the Lord said, “Mitt, the reason that you feel that you have not many to minister to is because there are not that many that seek to fulfill the destiny that I have called all to: to be conformed to the image of my son Jesus Christ. Instead, many are choosing to make their own destiny to be after the image that they desire to be; patterned after their own words and their own works. Every father desires for his son to be like him, but not every son desires to be like his father. How can a man desire to be conformed to my image when the love of his heart is for the image that he can make himself to be?”
Romans 8:29 “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
I Corinthians 15:45-52 “And so it is written, “The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a life giving spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a mystery: “We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
Job 14:14 “If a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my struggle I will wait until my change comes.”
Then understanding entered into my heart, and I was able to discern that the foundation of the entire kingdom of God is built on the promises that God has given to his church, while the foundations of the fallen kingdoms of this world are built upon the words and works that men do for themselves so that they can receive their reward now: the glory and recognition of men. I then understood that is exactly what Lucifer did when he came in the name of God to deceive the other angels by his works and his words so that he could show himself to be as God. Those who are deceived by these lies are those who will humble themselves before men, and then make themselves into the image that is pleasing and acceptable in the sight of men so that they can receive the recognition and glory they desire to have. Those who try to show themselves to be as God by their own works, they cannot see any possible need for God to change them when he appears, just as the Pharisee who thought that he was righteous by his own appearance and his own works.
Jeremiah 23:16 “Thus says the LORD of hosts, “Do not hearken to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you. They make you vain; for they speak a vision of their own heart and not out of the mouth of the LORD.”
Psalm 39:5,6 “…verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. Surely every man walks in a vain show…”
Romans 1:21-25 “Although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness (self-righteousness), in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”
Isaiah 2:8-11 “Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made. And the mean man bows down, and the great man humbles himself (before the idol that they have made themselves to be): therefore do not forgive. Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, for fear of the LORD and for the glory of his majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low.”
I John 3:2 “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be. But we know that when he shall appear, then we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”
Then the Lord said, “You know that it is written that all men are as beast, but their eyes are blinded so that they cannot see or comprehend this truth. There is no love of God in the heart of the beast, but the beast is loved by God. The beast loves it’s own, but hates it’s enemies and adversaries. The beast does not forgive and forget, but delights in it’s hateful killing of others through it’s unmerciless judgments: judgments that point the finger of accusation, that scorns, that slanders, that blames, that finds fault with, that gossips, that mocks, and that condemns others for their sins, or for their appearances, or for their weaknesses, or for their faults. There is no love of God in the judgments of the beast. The beast does not love another, and neither do others love the beast. There is no righteousness of God in the beast because the righteousness of God is love. There is no understanding of God in the beast because the beast cannot comprehend or define the love of God. There is no goodness of God in the beast because the goodness of God is love. The beast is so ignorant of the love of God that when it speaks a good word of any kind, then it considers itself to be good. The beast is so ignorant that when it forms of itself, or about God, then it thinks that it knows God because it believes that God is like it’s own thoughts. The beast is so ignorant of God that when it does a righteous deed then it thinks that it is righteous. There is no righteousness, nor knowledge and understanding of God, nor any goodness apart from the love God. God is love.
Ecclesiastes 3:18 “I said in my heart, concerning the estate of the sons of men, O that God might manifest them so that they might see that they themselves are beasts.”
Psalm 73:20-25 “As a dream when one awakes; so, O Lord, when you awake, you shall despise their image. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before you. Nevertheless I am continually with you: you have held me by my right hand. you shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside you.”
Romans 3:10-18 “As it is written, “There is none righteous, no, not one. There are none that understand. There is none that seek after God. They are all gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable. There is none that does good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit. The poison of asps is under their lips, whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways. The
way of peace have they not known, and there is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Romans 9:31,32 “But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness. Why? Because they sought it not by faith, but by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone…10:1-3 “Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, have gone about to establish their own righteousness, and have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.”
Daniel 9:7 “O LORD, righteousness belongs to you, but unto us, confusion of faces, as at this day.”
Luke “And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? There is none good except one, and that is God.”
I Corinthians 8:2 “If any man thinks he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.”
Galatians 6:3 “For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.”
I Corinthians 13:2 “And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but if I have not love, “I am nothing….5 Love thinks no evil.”
Titus 3:1,2 “Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, to speak evil of no man…”
I John 2:9 “He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now…11 “But he who hates (thinks evil of) his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.”
I John 4:20 “If someone says, “I love God,” and he hates his brother, then he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?”
When the beast puts forth it’s hands to make himself to be as God, he transforms himself into an image that appears pleasing and beautiful in the sight of all who are ignorant of God. Every men who looks on this image, and desires to be like it, commits fornication in his heart, no longer desiring to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. These are the desires of those who are wise in their own eyes, whose heart desires to lift up the image they project themselves to be as. It is by reason of the desires of the wisdom of pride that men are tempted to make themselves into an image that is beautiful in appearance and that seems righteous by it’s good works. But these are the appearances of hypocrisy (play-acting; pretense) and the works of iniquity (self-righteous works): the illusions of witchcraft that project an image that is not like that which is in the heart. Nevertheless, it is an image that is highly esteemed in the sight of ignorant men. These are the works that ignorant men do to create for themselves an image that is praised and honored among men. There is no love of God in the beast, nor is there any love in the image that the beast shows itself to be as. The image of the beast speaks good words and flattery so that it may receive the reward of men’s honor and respect. The image of the beast does righteous works in the sight of men so that it may receive the reward of men’s recognition and glory. The beast lives it’s life hiding behind the lies of the image that he has made himself to be like. Even the beast is deceived by the image and worships the image rather than the Creator.
Romans 1:21-25 "Although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness (self-righteousness), in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves (giving glory and praise to one another) who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen."
Hypocrisy and iniquity, these are the same lies that Lucifer deceived himself with, as well as the angels that fell with him. These are the works of the wisdom of pride; the works that corrupt the order of God. The same wisdom that corrupted Lucifer in the heavens is the same wisdom that is at work today in the hearts and minds of the hypocrites and workers of iniquity. Where there is no wisdom of God’s love, there can be neither be any goodness, or righteousness, or understanding of God. Without the wisdom of the God’s love, there can only be appearances and illusions, imitations of God’s righteousness and goodness. Even though it is written, “There are none who are good, only God”; yet, the ignorant beast will deceive himself with the lies that will lead him to make for himself an image that appears good. Even though it is written, “There are none who understand”; yet the ignorant beast will deceive himself with the lies that lead him to form opinions from his own understanding, which then leads him to believe that he knows something when he knows nothing. There is no truth in the lies of men’s opinions; only a form of the truth. Even though it is written, “There are none righteous, only God”; yet, the ignorant beast will again deceive himself with the lies that he can make himself to be righteous through the his own efforts. only by the wisdom of God’s love can my elect discern the real from the imitation.
Proverbs 20:6 “Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?”
Luke 16:15 “And Jesus said to them, “You are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.”
Matthew 23:25-28 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. You blind Pharisee, first cleanse that which is within the cup and platter so that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whited tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead bones, and of all uncleanness (self-righteousness). Even so you also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.”
Psalm 39:11 “When you, with rebuke, do correct man for iniquity, you make his beauty to consume away like a moth. Surely every man is vanity. Selah.”
Daniel 9:4-7 “And I prayed to the LORD my God, and made my confession and said, “O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; “We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from your precepts and from your judgments: and neither have we hearkened to your servants the prophets, which spoke in your name to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, and to all the people of the land. O LORD, righteousness belongs to you, but to us confusion of faces, as at this day.”
Again, it is as it is written, “Righteousness only belongs to God.” Yet, the beast, again having been deceived by the wisdom of his pride, and seeing that he is pleased with the image that he has created for himself to be right and good, will then think that he is worthy to stand in the temple to show himself to be in the likeness of God. And men see this image, they will then exalt this image because it appears as God. They will then give the beast the glory that he desires to have. Let no man deceive you by any means, for there is no man that shall be able to glory in the presence of God. All of the works that a man does, he does by the power of his pride to show himself to be as God. All of the goodness that a man does in the name of the Lord, he does so by the power of his pride to show himself to be as God. All of the righteousness that a man does in the name of the Lord, he does so by the power of his pride to show himself to be as God. All of the works that a man does in the name of Lord, he does so by the power of his pride so that he may show himself to be as God. All of the praises, and all of the glory, and all of the honor that men give to one another, they do so when one shows himself in an image that is like God.
Luke 18:9-14 “Jesus spoke this parable to those who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and who despised others. “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, “God, I thank you that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.” And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, “God, be merciful to me a sinner!” I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone that says to me, “Lord, Lord“, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but only he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in your name have cast out demons? And in your name done many wonderful works?” And then will I profess to them, “I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.”
I Corinthians 1:27-31 “But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. And the base things of the world and things which are despised (lightly esteemed), has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are so that no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who God has made to be for us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption so that, according as it is written, “He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.”
And the dragon empowered the beast with the wisdom of pride; and by the wisdom of pride, the beast, just as the dragon did, was empowered to make itself an image so that it could show itself to be as something that it is not: God. By the wisdom of pride, the beast was empowered to make an image that could deceive itself and others into believing that it was as God with it’s good words, with it’s outward appearances, and by the works of iniquity. And the deceived worshipped the image, and gave it glory, because it was an image that is highly esteemed in the sight of men. And the image would stand in the temple, and show what it is was able to do of itself, and the deceived praised, and honored, and glorified the man for what he had made of himself. The image that the beast makes of itself is the idolatry whereby the beast worships the image it makes itself to appear as. This idolatry is the religion of mystery Babylon; the church of the deceived and the dead. Mystery Babylon is the church of all false religions; a church of much confusion because there is no order. Every man’s doctrine is the hypocrisy and iniquity that he uses to deceive himself and others. The treasures (merchandise) of Mystery Babylon are the glory, the recognition, the praise, and the honor that men continually reward each other with when they show themselves to be as God. Where a man’s heart is, there you shall his treasure. All that man does in the name of the Lord by the power of his pride, he does so for a show; and hypocrisy and iniquity are the works of that pride. Remember that I told you that the wisdom of pride is the love and consciousness of self; the pride that neither loves God, nor does it allow for God to be God, and neither can pride receive the blessings of God’s love. Mystery Babylon is a religion of an illusion of lies; an illusion that is nothing because there is no love of God there. There is no goodness, nor understanding nor knowledge of the truth, nor any righteousness that can come forth apart from the love of God, only the vanity that is a lifeless and empty form of God.
Revelation 13:2 “And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power (the wisdom of pride), and his seat (to deceive), and great authority (to kill, to steal, and to destroy).”
Revelation 13:4 “And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?”
John 8:44,45 “You are of your father the Devil, and the desires of your father you will do (hypocrisy and iniquity). He was a murderer from the beginning, and abides not in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me.”
Romans 1:21-25 “Because when they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, neither were they thankful. But they became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God gave them up to uncleanness (Isa.64:6 Self-righteousness) through the desires of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.”
II Timothy 3:1,2 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves…having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. From such turn away.”
Revelation 13:14,15 “And he deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles (appearances and works of iniquity) which he had power to do in the sight of the beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed (by the sword or the sword of the tongue).”
Obadiah 3 “The pride of your heart has deceived you…”
Isaiah 2:8-12 “Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made. And the mean man bows down (to his own image), and the great man humbles himself (to make himself according to image): therefore do not forgive them. Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low.”
Revelations 17:1-8 “And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying to me, “Come here; I will show to you the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters, with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of the names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And on her forehead was a name written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman (the wisdom of pride), and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that you saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition (the man of sin, the son of perdition who sits in the temple and shows himself to be as God) : and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is….18:3-15 “For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her (Mystery, Babylon) fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are grown rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you do not receive of her plagues; for her sins have reached unto heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she has filled fill to her double. How much she has glorified herself, and lived deliciously, but so much torment and sorrow she gives: for she said in her heart, “I sit a queen, and am no widow, and I shall see no sorrow.” Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judges her.” And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, “Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour is your judgment is come.”
Leviticus 26:18-21 “And if you will not yet for all this hearken to me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass. And your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. And if you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.”
Luke 18:9-12 (The beast standing in the temple showing itself to be as God by his appearance and the works of iniquity) “And Jesus spoke this parable to certain of those that trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and they despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, “God, I thank you that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice in the week, and I give tithes of all that I possess.”
Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone that says to me, “Lord, Lord”, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? And in your name have cast out demons? And in your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess to them, “I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.”
Luke 13:24-28 “Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside, knocking at the door saying, “Lord, Lord, open for us”. And he shall answer and say to you, “I do not know you.” Then shall you begin to say, “We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets. But he shall say, “I tell you, I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.” There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.”
When I came into this world, I did not come in the form of God, but I cam in the form of a man, in the likeness of sinful flesh. I came in your likeness not to show that the flesh is able make itself perfect as God, but to show that God can perfect his love in those who are compassed with the flesh. I did not come to glorify myself or any man, but to glorify Father by believing his words. I did not come to praise myself or any man, but to praise my Father for the works that his love performed for me. I did not come to honor myself or any man, but to honor my Father, who alone is God. Did not I, the Son of the living God, say, “Of my ownself, I can do nothing?” I am the truth. I am the truth that says, “I can do nothing of myself to please God without the love of God in me.” If I can do nothing of my ownself, then how shall the hypocrite and the workers of iniquity please my Father? Are they greater than I? I am the truth that came to testify that all things are possible for those who believe in my Father in my name. Even though I came in the form of a man, I could do all things after I was perfected in his love. My Father is love; and love believes all things.
Romans 8:3 “For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin. He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”
John 8:54 “Jesus answered, “If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honors me.”
John 5:30 “Jesus said, “I can of my ownself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just because I do not seek to do my own will, but the will of the Father that has sent me. If I bear witness of myself, then my witness is not true.”
Acts 10:38 “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the Devil, for God was with Him.”
I Corinthians 13:7,8 “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
Mark 9:23 “Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes.”
I am the truth that testifies that all of the efforts that a man makes to appear in the likeness of the God’s goodness are only illusions of hypocrisy. I am the truth that testifies that all of the works that a man makes of himself are nothing but the vain and deceitful works of iniquity. I am the truth that reveals the lies of the works of hypocrisy and iniquity. I am the truth that the beast hates because I testify that all of the works that it does for a show are evil. I am also the truth that testifies that though a man is nothing without the love of God, by grace he is everything in the sight of my Father’s love. Take heed that you do not fall from the precious grace of Father’s love by the deceitful works of hypocrisy and iniquity. The world hates me because I came to testify that the works of hypocrisy and iniquity are nothing but the perverse and wicked works of the wisdom of pride. I am the truth that reveals that a man worships that which he recognizes, that which he honors, that which he praises, that which he glorifies, that which he trusts in, that which he believes on, and that which he loves. You cannot serve two masters; you will love the one and make light of the other. The world hates me because I did not come into this world to worship image that Self is able to make itself to appear as, but to worship my Father only. The world hates me because I came to testify that hypocrisy and iniquity are the same perverse and wicked works that Lucifer did to bring disorder into the kingdom of God. The world hates me because I am an alien to that which this world esteems, and exalts, and loves. I am an alien in this world because I only esteemed, only exalted, and loved only my Father in heaven.
John 7:7 “Jesus said, “The world cannot hate you, but me it hates because I testify of it that it’s works are evil.”
Colossians 1:21,22 “And you that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled (not by the works of hypocrisy & iniquity) in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy, and unblameable, and unreproveable in his sight.”
Hebrews 9:13,14 “For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh, then how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”
Philippians 3:17-19 “Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an example. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ (have not crucified the wisdom of their pride; the pride that loves the glory and recognition that comes through the works of hypocrisy and iniquity), whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.”
Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction and a haughty (exalted) spirit before a fall.”
Proverbs 16:25 “There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
I am the Messiah. I am he who was sent by the love of God to recover his creation, to restore order in the hearts and minds of all who will have God to be their God. I am the Spirit of truth that reveals the lies of iniquity. I am the Messiah of the truth. I am the truth sent by God to turn everyone of you away from the works of iniquity. I am the truth that saves you from the lies of Satan. I am the truth sent by God to testify of the love that God has for his creation. I am the truth that comes to reveal that my Father does not look at what a man does, but he only looks on the great and mighty works that his love is able to perform for those who believe on him through me. I am the truth that reveals that my Father so loved the world, even in it’s perverse and wicked state, that he sent me for all those who will have his love.
Acts 3:26 “To you first (the Jews), God, having raised up his servant Jesus, sent him to bless you in turning everyone of you away from your iniquities.”
Proverbs 16:6 “By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.”
Acts 3:26 “Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you in turning away everyone of you from his iniquities.”
I am the truth. I am the truth that testifies that the love of God is the only reality. I am the truth that testifies that without the love of God, men are nothing. God is the only reality because only God is I Am. I Am is love. The truth is that God loves man even when man does not love him. The truth is that Father’s love has not departed from the hypocrites or from the workers of iniquity, but the hypocrites and workers of iniquity have departed from his love. The truth is all hypocrisy is nothing that appears as something. The truth is that all the works of iniquity are works of nothing that seem like something. The truth is that the goodness of Father’s love desires to lead the hypocrites and the workers of iniquity into repentance; to turn them from nothingness to reality. The truth is that the love of God always desires to lead men into the reality of his love. Take heed, and remember: hypocrisy and iniquity are the perverse and wicked works that do nothing but disrupt the order of the kingdom of God. The truth is the works of God are real, and God has called each one of you to make you to be the workmanship of his love. God lives, and moves, and has all of his being in love; and all of the purposes of his being is found in the works that his love desires to perform. The truth is that the only reality that makes man real is the reality that man is loved by God. The love of God is well able to make something real out of nothing. The truth is that if God did not love the world, then he would not have sent me into the world to bless each one of you in turning you away from the nothingness of hypocrisy and iniquity. The truth is that if God did not love man, then he would not have sent me into world to reconcile the world back to him. I came in the likeness of sinful flesh to show the world what the grace of my Father’s love is able to do for all those who humble themselves into the hands of Father’s love.
I John 4:18 “We love him because He first loved us.”
Galatians 6:3 “For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.”
I Corinthians 13:1-3 “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but if I have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
Acts 3:26 “Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you in turning away everyone of you from his iniquities.”
Daniel 9:4-6 “And I prayed to the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, “O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments: “We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from your precepts and from your judgments, and either have we hearkened to your servants the prophets, which spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.”
Romans 2:4-9 “Do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart, you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who “will render to each one according to his deeds” Eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good, who seek for glory, honor, and immortality. but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness (hypocrisy & iniquity) indignation, and wrath, and tribulation, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil.”
Galatians 5:4 “Christ is become of no effect to you, whosoever of you who are justified by the law; you are fallen from grace.”
By grace my Father loves sinners, but he is only able to show the favor of his love to those who seek to know his love. By grace, my Father loves the blind, the wretched, the naked, the poor, the miserable, and the weak. By grace my Father loves all those that you do not love him. By grace my Father loves those who curse him, who reject him, who mock him, who hate him, who are ignorant of him, and even those who blaspheme him. By grace my Father renders good for evil. My Father is love, and he does not change, even when he is not loved. By grace the beloved are real because my Father’s love for them is real. The grace of my Father’s love makes all who will receive me and believe on my words to be…the beloved who receive the favor of Father’s love. The beloved of God are real because they have received the grace of I Am’s love. By grace, the beloved have become the object of I Am’s affection. The elect are those whose love for God has not grown cold because by grace, they have repented of their love and desires for hypocrisy and the works of their iniquity. The elect are those that have not fallen from grace but they have continued in the reality of Father’s love. By grace, it is God who works in you to believe on the love that he has for you. By grace, it is God who works in you to do his will and his good pleasure. It is the will of him who is love for you to love and be loved. Love is the only reality, and reality is that which the love of God brings forth of himself.
Matthew 24:12 “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”
Ephesians 2:4-10 “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
Hebrews 11:9,10 “By faith Abraham dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.”
I am the Messiah. I am the Messiah of the wisdom of Father’s love. I am the love that went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by Satan because that is what the power of God’s wisdom does. I am the wisdom of Father’s love. I did not do these works to glorify or honor myself, but through the works of his grace, I glorified the love that my Father has for all men. God is Spirit. I am that Spirit of God. God is truth, and I am the Spirit of truth. God is spirit, and those who worship God must worship him in Spirit and in truth. I am the Spirit and the truth. Without me, you cannot please God with your worship because God is only pleased with the worship that comes forth in Spirit and truth. God is love. I am the Spirit that worships Father in love. I am the Spirit that praises, and honors, and glorifies only my Father. I am the Spirit that praises God for the blessings of his love. I am the Spirit that honors God for the blessings of his love. I am the Spirit that glorifies God for the blessings of his love. I am the Spirit that thanks God for the blessings of his love. I am the Spirit that worships reality rather than nothingness. Is it not written that the greatest of all commandments is for you to love the Lord your God with all of your heart, with all of your soul, and with all of you mind? I am the Spirit that loves Father with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind, and all of my being. No man can worship Father in the manner that pleases him except through me because I love him. I am the Son that Father is well-pleased with. Without me you can do nothing to please God because nothing cannot please reality. I am the Spirit of my Father that inhabited sinful flesh, and even though I was tempted in my flesh to glorify and honor myself through my own works, I chose rather to continue loving my Father with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind, and all my being. I am the love that flows in the order of God. I am the Spirit that overcame the disorder of this world, and all of it’s ungodly love and desires for self-recognition, self-glory, self-honor, and self-praise. The world does not know me, and my own people did not receive me. Do you know me? Will you receive me?
John 6:63 “It is the spirit that makes alive (alive unto God); the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life.”
Acts 17:26-29 “And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him (his love; that which the fallen do not have) we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, “For we also are His children.” Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, or any image formed by the art and thought of man.”
I John 3:16-19 “By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.”
Acts 10:38 “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”
Jeremiah 9:23, 24 “Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom (Hypocrisy: outward appearance), and let not the mighty man glory in his might (Iniquity; his own works of righteousness), nor let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the LORD.”
Jeremiah 4:22,23 “For my people are foolish; they have not known me (Love). They are senseless children, and they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil (the proud works of hypocrisy and iniquity), but to do good (Love), they have no knowledge. I beheld the earth (earthy man), and, lo, it was without form and void (the disorder of nothingness); and the heavens, and they had no light.”
I am the truth, the Messiah sent by the love of God to free you from Satan’s lies. I am the Christ, the wisdom sent from above to free your souls from the wisdom of pride. If any of you lack wisdom, then let him go no where but to God, and ask for him to give to you that which his love liberally desires to give to all those who desire for him to be their Father and their God. I am the wisdom that sets a man free from the desires of the Devil. God made me to be the gift of wisdom for you. I am the Christ who has come to deliver you from the wisdom of the antichrist; the wisdom that desires to show itself to be as God through the works of iniquity and hypocrisy. I am the wisdom of God that delivers you from wisdom of antichrist; the wisdom that desires it’s own recognition, and honor, and praise, and glory. I am the Messiah that saves you from the lies that desire to worship the image of the beast. I am the Christ, the wisdom sent from Father’s love to deliver you from the antichrist of this world’s wisdom. All of the works of the wisdom of pride are nothingness and vanity, illusions of beauty that appear as something to be esteemed in the sight of the beast. I am the Christ sent to deliver from the illusions of hypocrisy that appear outwardly beautiful and from the bewitching works of iniquity that seem like the righteousness of God. “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all: The one shows himself to be as God, or the one who is God?” I am the wisdom that has come to reveal the real beauty and the real glory of Father’s love.
Psalm 51:6,7 “Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”
Matthew 23:27,28 “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whited tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but within you are full of dead bones and of all uncleanness. Even so, you outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.”
Isaiah 28:1 “Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
Jeremiah 4:30 “And you, O desolate one, what will you do? Although you dress in scarlet, and decorate yourself with ornaments of gold; and although you enlarge your eyes with paint, in vain you make yourself beautiful. Your lovers despise you, and they seek your life.”
Psalm 39:11 “When you, with rebuke do correct man for iniquity, you make his beauty to consume away like a moth. Surely every man is vanity. Selah.”
I Peter 1:13-16 “Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts (to show yourselves as God) in your ignorance. But as he which has called you is holy, so be you holy in all manner of conversation because it is written, “Be you holy; for I am holy.”
I Chronicles 16:29 “Give to the Lord the glory due unto his name. Bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.”
Psalm 50:2 “Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined.”
Psalm 27:4 “One thing have I desired of the Lord, and that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.”
Isaiah 33:17 “Your eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
Do not be wise in your own eyes, lest your own wisdom blind you to see nothing but your own beauty. Do you not see the miracle works of this world’s wisdom, the wisdom that make nothing to be appear as something? Do you see the miracle works of this world’s wisdom, the wisdom that is able to make false images to outwardly appear beautiful and righteous so that it should be worshipped? I am the Spirit of wisdom that sees right through the outward appearances and the self-righteous works into the heart. I am the wisdom that hates the wisdom of pride, and all of it’s miracles works of hypocrisy and iniquity. I am the wisdom that fears God; the fear of God that hates all of the corrupted works of this world’s wisdom. I am the wisdom that moves in the hearts of the humble to draw then near to me, to seek me, to ask things of me, and that keeps knocking. I am the wisdom that moves to be still before Father. I am the wisdom of patience that allows Father to perfect all of the works that he has started. I am the wisdom that delights in doing Father’s will. I am the wisdom that believes Father’s words and puts all trust in his love. I am the wisdom that loves to give praise, and glory, and honor only to Father for his love. I am the wisdom that worships only God. I am the wisdom that rejoices in thanking Father for the blessings of his love. I am the Christ, the Spirit of wisdom that comes to save you from the blindness of your own beauty, as well as from the desires for your own glory and recognition. I am the principle thing. Got wisdom? Got me? Get all of the wisdom that my Father liberally and freely desires to give to you. Without me, you can do nothing to please the Father because I am the wisdom that pleases Father. All those who have me love God and they know that they are beloved of God.
I Corinthians 1:30,31 “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”
Luke 11:45-50 Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Jesus, “Teacher, by saying these things you reproach us also.” And He said, “Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. In fact, you bear witness that you approve of the deeds of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build their tombs. Therefore the wisdom of God also said, “I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,” that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation.”
I am the gift of Father’s love. I am the gift of wisdom that Father desires to dwell in the secret place of your heart rather than hypocrisy, and I am the truth that Father desires to dwell in your inward parts rather than iniquity. I am the truth and the wisdom that restores the order of God. Where there is no wisdom and truth of God’s love, there are only lies of disorder that only recognizes and worship illusions. Where there are lies, there you will find the beast projecting his image to be as God. This is the iniquity of pride: the corrupted wisdom of man that moves men to do works in the name of the Lord for their own glory and praise. This is the wisdom of pride that empowers man to show himself to be as God by his own strength, by his own words, by his own goodness, by his own righteousness, by his own works, and by his own will. When the workers of iniquity who come in my name come into the temple, they do not come to worship God, but to pollute the temple with the idolatry of hypocrisy and iniquity. They defile my temple when they exchange praises, and honor, and recognition, and glory among themselves for the works of their iniquity and the pretenses of their hypocrisy. These are the lies of iniquity, the strong delusion that are sent to deceive those who do not love me, the wisdom and truth of God. These are the works of the wisdom of pride, that ungodly and abominable wisdom that leads men to stand in my temple, to show themselves to be as something when they are nothing; and expect for nothing to receive recognition, and glory, and honor, and praise from God and from men. The wisdom of pride is the power that the darkness gives to man to deceive him into believing that he can stand in the temple of God to show himself to be something as great as God.
Micah 2:1 “Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they do it because it is in the power of their hand.”
Revelation 13:15 “And he had power to give life to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
All of the images that men make of themselves, they are nothing but the lifeless images of hypocrisy and iniquity that are worshipped by the deceived. Yet, these are the lies that seem to give purpose, and meaning, and life to the image that the beast creates for himself, but in truth, they are only vain idols of self-images. The deceived have become those idols of hypocrisy that have eyes, but they cannot see as the wisdom of love sees. They have ears, but they cannot hear the grace and the truth of Father’s words. They have a heart, but it cannot treasure the gifts and blessings of Father’s love. Hypocrisy and iniquity are the foundational doctrines of mystery Babylon; the doctrines that all false religions use to glorify the vain images that praise, and honor, and glorify man for making himself to appear as God. By these doctrines, the image of the beast is formed; and in it’s image is found all of the idolatry that is worshipped in mystery Babylon. By the wisdom of pride, the beast loves to glorify and exalt the false image he has made of himself. Mystery Babylon so loves the lies that praise and glorify the image of they have of themselves that they feast on the strong delusion of lies that God has sent to them; the strong lies that make think that they are as God though the images of hypocrisy and the works of iniquity.
Exodus 20:4 “You shall not make unto you any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.”
Revelation 13:4 “And they worshipped the dragon which gave power to the beast: and they worshipped the beast saying, “Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? 11-15 “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”
II Thessalonians 2:3-12 “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God (The wonders of pride). Remember you not that when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now you know what withholds that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way (when pride had been destroyed). And then shall that Wicked be revealed (the image that men make themselves to be to show themselves to be as God), whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
and with all of the deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie (that God is pleased with the image that men make of themselves): that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
II Timothy 2: “Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, “The Lord knows them that are his.” And, let everyone that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor. If a man therefore purge himself from these (his iniquities), then he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and ready for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, love, and peace with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”
Matthew 24:12 “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall grow cold.”
Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus said, “Not everyone that says to me, “Lord, Lord” shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but only he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? And in your name have cast out demons? And in your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess to them, “I never knew you: depart from me you that work iniquity.”
The Temple of God that the man of sin, the son of perdition stands in
Acts 7:48,49 “However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: “Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool. What house will you build for me?” says the LORD, or what is the place of my rest?”
Psalm 127:1 “Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build it…”
I Corinthians 6:19 “What? Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?”
John 2:19-21 “Jesus (standing in the temple in Jerusalem) answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking of the temple of his body.”
Again, I say to you, when I came into the world, I refused to honor, or praise, or glorify, or worship the image of the beast, and they crucified me. The delusions of hypocrisy and iniquity have such a stronghold in hearts of the deceived that they maliciously sought to destroy and kill my life. When I would not bow my heart to recognize their exalted images, they first sought to kill me through their accusations and false witnesses. They also sought to kill my testimony with the letter of the law. When I would not bow my heart to worship their false images, they sought to kill me with the slander of their tongue, even calling me Beelzebub. Then when their tongues failed, they sought to kill me by killing my body. The wisdom of God’s love had so offended their false images that they lusted for my blood; the blood of the Son of the living God who loved them. They were so deceived and delusional, that when the wisdom of pride led them to murder me, they were confident they were doing my father God a favor. It is by reason of this corrupted wisdom, the wisdom of pride, that the beast will always think to do evil, and even kill those who do not worship the images that glorify hypocrisy and iniquity. The blood of the prophets, and the blood of the Son of God, and the blood of the all the true saints, it has been shed by those who love hypocrisy and iniquity, to keep the doctrines of mystery Babylon alive. Love gives life; it does not take it.
John 16:1-3 “These things have I spoken to you so that you should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time comes that whosoever kills you will think that he is doing service to God. And these things will they do to you because they have not known the Father or me.”
I John 3:11-13 “For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous. Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you.”
Luke 11:48-50 “In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs. Therefore the wisdom of God also said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute, that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
Revelation 17: “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.”
I Corinthians 2:6-8 “However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world for our glory, which none of the rulers of this world knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”
If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves and turn from the iniquity of their pride, from the idolatry of their own images, and pray and seek to know me, then I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their hypocrisy and iniquity. If my people will repent and seek to know me, then I will put my fear in their hearts and minds, and they will hate all of the works of the wisdom of pride, and all of the false images they have created self to be. Again I tell you that it is not possible for a man to hate the false images that pride creates unless my fear comes into your heart and mind. only through the fear of God can a man depart from this evil. When I come, I will only be looking for those who have diligently sought for me by faith. I will not be looking at what a man thinks himself to be, nor will I be looking at any of the works that a man has performed with his own hands, but for the faith that allows Father to make you into my image. If my people will repent from making the Creator to be like images of the creature, then I will come and reveal myself to them. I am love. My Father is love. Love is not an image, it is reality. I am the reality of my Father. I am the wisdom of love that changes the motives and the desires of the heart and mind. I am the love that makes all things new. I am the love that gives purpose of being to all things.
II Corinthians 5:16-20 “Wherefore henceforth, we know no man after the flesh (the image of the beast): yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth we know him no more.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ (wisdom and truth), and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.”
The elect are around you Mitt, but what they do, they do not do to be seen of men. Just as it was not possible for Elijah to see my remnant that I had around him, so also it is not possible for you to see the elect that I have around you. Through the fear of the Lord, my elect have hated the pride nature of their old man, and they have put him off and put on the new man that is clothed in humility; and having put on humility, they do not seek to make a reputation for themselves. My elect dwell in that low estate that those who are wise in their own eyes do not seek for because there is no glory, or recognition, or honor, or praise for themselves in the low place. I am meek and lowly, and my elect have put me on. My elect have received the yoke of my spirit for themselves so that they could be transformed into my image. Those who are of this world do not glorify or worship meekness and lowliness, and for this reason I was not esteemed, but rejected, just as my remnant have been. The light of this world’s sun and moon does not shine to recognize or glorify the meek and lowly.
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. My yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Philippians 2:5-8 “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to the death (the death of hypocrisy & iniquity), even the death of the cross (the daily cross).”
My elect have not allowed the wisdom of pride to corrupt their hearts as Lucifer did his. For when this wisdom corrupted Lucifer, he began to think only on himself because that is what the wisdom of pride thinks on. He then perverted both the anointing and the gifting that God had given to him and use them to satisfy his own desires to be as God. You know that it is written, “He who is greatest among you, he shall be your servant”; and so it was with Lucifer when the wisdom of my love flowed through him to bless and do good to all the heavenly creatures that were around him. But this order ceased when his wisdom became corrupted. only in this fallen world of darkness is he that is greatest among you, he that is worshipped, and praised, and exalted, and glorified, and honored. As it was with Lucifer when he allowed the wisdom of pride to deceive him, so also is it with those who are wise in their own eyes, who will also think to use their anointing and gifting to corrupt the order of God, and form for themselves images that appear as God so that they may be esteemed and exalted in the sight of others. only through the fear of God shall my elect discern between the sheep and the goats; and the wheat from the tares; and the vessels of honor from the vessels of dishonor; and they shall discern by fruits of the wisdom that is within them. The fruit of the wisdom of love seeks not it’s own, while the wisdom of pride seeks only it’s own.”
Matthew 12:33,34 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”
James 3:17,18 “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.”
John 7:18 “"He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he who is seeking the glory of the one who sent him, he is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.”
Philippians 2:21 “For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus.”
II Timothy 3:1 “In the last days, perilous times shall come, for men shall be lovers of themselves…”
These are not mine that speak of themselves, according to the proud wisdom of this world. The world hears these, and then rewards them with the honor and the glory that feeds the self image that pride has created. Though these had received my anointing and my gifting, they allowed for their pride to deceive them into thinking that they were something when they were nothing. If any man thinks himself to be anything, but he is without my love, then he is nothing. only pride can take nothing and make into an illusion that appears to be as something. only pride goes before a fall, the pride that thinks that it can show itself to be as God. only through the foolishness of pride would my people corrupt the use of my gifts and my anointing. Their love for God grows colder and colder as their love for their own glory and recognition increases. The wisdom of pride blinds their eyes and corrupts their heart until they treasure the glory of Self to be a greater glory than God’s glory. Would the wisdom of my love have any value for those who no longer love God?
But it is not so with my elect, those have valued their calling and treasured having my love; a love to have, to hold, and keep forever. My elect have sought to have my heart and my mind for themselves to fulfill the destiny that I have called them to: to be conformed to my image. I Am love, the spitting image of my Father Love. I Am the love that serves. I Am the love that delights in blessing, and giving, and doing good. I Am the love that cares. I Am the love that gives life and purpose to all that desire me. I Am the spirit of the Son that makes the Sons to be equal with Father. I am coming for them, and their reward is with me. I Am their reward. My Father is their reward. My Father is love, and my Father and I are one. As my Father is, so shall his Sons be. I am coming for those of a broken and contrite heart. My elect have been scorned, hated, persecuted, humbled, lightly esteemed, forgotten, mocked, despised, outcast, and rejected because they have not worshipped or bowed their hearts to serve the false images of the beast. I am coming for those who have suffered because of their desire to be conformed to my image. Through the fear of God, and it’s hatred of evil, my elect have overcome all of the temptations of the Devil, and they have hated all of the false images that their pride tempted them to make for themselves. All awaits them now. I come, and my reward is with me. My kingdom comes with me. I Am their reward; for as I Am, so shall they be.”
Psalm 138:6 “Though the Lord be high, yet he has respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knows afar off.”
Leviticus 26:18,19 “‘And after all this, if you will not obey me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. I will break the pride of your power…”
Isaiah 17:7,8 “In that day a man will look to his Maker, and his eyes will have respect for the Holy one of Israel. He will not look to the altars, the work of his hands. He will not respect what his fingers have made, nor the wooden images nor the incense altars.
Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is near to them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit.
James 4:6-10 “But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Therefore submit to God. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Isaiah 57:15 “For thus says the high and lofty one that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”
Malachi 3:13 “Your words have been strong and hard against Me, says the Lord. Yet you say, What have we spoken against You? You have said, “It is useless to serve God, and what profit is it if we keep His ordinances and walk gloomily and as if in mourning apparel before the Lord of hosts? And now we consider the proud and arrogant to be happy and favored; evildoers are exalted and prosper. Yes, and when they test God, they escape [unpunished]. Then those who feared the Lord talked often one to another; and the Lord listened and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who reverenced and worshipfully feared the Lord and who thought on His name. And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when I publicly recognize and openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar treasure). And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.”
Jeremiah 30:17 “For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds”, says the Lord, “Because they called you an Outcast, saying, “This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.”
Then the Lord said to me, “It all changes now. It all changes for those who have humbled themselves before me. Now is the time that I will separate my sheep from the goats, my wheat from the tares, my vessels of honor from the vessels of dishonor, and the humble from the proud. Now is the time that I will exalt those who have humbled themselves, and those who have exalted themselves shall be humbled. Now is the time that I reward those who have believed on my words and trusted in my love. I value those who value me; I bless those who bless me; I honor those who honor me; I recognize those who recognize me; I treasure those who treasure me; I love those who love me. I give my all to those who have given their all to me. Now is the time that I will perform all that which I promised. I promised to fulfill all these things in due time, and now due time is here. I am coming, and my reward is with me. I am the reward that all those who have desired to have me. I am coming to all those who have been looking for me. I am coming to change mine into the image of the heavenly. I am coming in all the fullness of the glory of God; I am coming in the beauty of holiness; and I am coming in the perfection of love. Now is the time that I am coming to exalt my Sons, to show them to be equal with me. This is not their doing, but my Father’s doing.
I Peter 5:6 “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.”
Romans 8: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.”
I John 3:2 “Beloved, now are we the sons of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”
I have loved you when you have not loved me. Now is the time that I come to balance the scales; for as I have loved them with all of my heart and mind, so shall they now love me with all of their heart and mind. As my love has flowed out of me from a pure heart, so shall love now flow out of them with a pure heart. As I have loved the world with a pure heart, so shall they love the world with a pure heart. As I have loved my enemies, so shall they love their enemies. I Am love, and my Sons shall be love. I Am pure love. I Am illuminating love. I Am gentle love. I Am life-giving love. I Am fearless love. I Am love in all of it’s brilliance. I Am love in all it’s beauty. I Am reality. My love is reality. Without my love, there is no reality. My love is reality of life. I Am the reality of love coming to a world deceived with worthless illusions. Now is the time that I come to change the creature into the image of the Creator. Just as I AM, so shall my Sons be when I reveal them to the world.
I Corinthians 15: “There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterwards the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.”
Now is the time for the kingdoms of this world to become the kingdom of God. Babylon is falling. Babylon is falling. Who can stand when I come? How shall the proud stand who have fallen from the grace of my love? How shall the proud endure when they see their works and appearances are vanity and nothingness? Now shall the beast be revealed for what it is rather than what it thought itself to be. Now is the judgment of the great whore; the judgment of the false religions that came in my name to seduce my people with the deceitful lies of hypocrisy and the works of her iniquity. Now shall all things be exposed. There is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed, and there is nothing secret that shall not be manifest. All things change now. No longer shall the sun, and the moon shine their light on the disorder; the disorder where men have exalted themselves rather than God. No longer shall the sun and the moon shine there light to glorify the whorish church that delights in showing itself to be as God. No longer will the sun and the moon shine their light to magnify the beauty of man’s goodness. No longer will the sun and the moon shine their light to esteem the works of the wisdom of pride. No longer will the sun and moon shine their light to on works that men do to appear righteous. No longer will the sun and the moon shine their light to favor that which man highly esteems. Babylon, and all of it’s proud idols are falling. Now shall the proud be humbled, and the humble shall be exalted. It all changes now. The story has been told, destinies are now being fulfilled, and the book is now being finished. Babylon is falling, and New Jerusalem is descending.
Revelation 17:1-5 “Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. And on her forehead a name was written:
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT (as she shows herself to be as great as God),
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Isaiah 13:9-11 “Behold, the day of the LORD comes; Cruel, and with both wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate and he will destroy its sinners from it. For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light; the sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine. “I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity. I will halt the arrogance of the proud, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.”
Then the Lord gave me a vision, and in the vision I was standing on hill that was overlooking a city. I saw a street that ran from as far as I could see straight toward me, ending at the base of the hill that I was standing on. This street divided this city in half. I saw that the name of this street was simply Main Street. I then saw that on the right side of Main Street, for what appeared to be like at least ten blocks, was what I first thought to be nothing but church buildings of all different kinds of Christian denominations. These were not just any old church buildings, but they were like the best of the best; the biggest and the most beautiful churches that I have ever seen. But then I saw, mixed in among these churches, were also synagogues, and Hindu temples, and mosques, and some temples of religions that I am not that familiar with. These temples, and mosques, and synagogues were just like the Christian churches, in that they were also the best of the best: the largest and most beautiful buildings that man could build as a tribute to his denomination or religion. All of these buildings were so close together that it did not appear as though there was room enough for a man to even walk between any two them. I then realized that I did not see one commercial business on the right side of Main Street; only these worship centers. I also saw that all of these worship centers were filled with much activity by the members of their congregations. As I looked on these all of these beautiful buildings, it somehow appeared as though the light of the sun and the moon was actually shinning on them to favor and glorify all of their works and their doctrines.
I then observed on the left hand side of this street, for as far as my eye could see to my left, and straight away from me, was what I first thought to be this massive desert with no structures on it at all. It was so strange seeing how crowded all of these worship centers were to each other that were on the right side of Main Street, and then see nothing at all on the left side. My eye was then caught by some figure or shape that I could not at first make out what it was because it was to far away from me. I then squinted my eyes in my attempt to see what it was, and when I did, I was able to see that it was this single figure of a man just standing in the middle of this vacant lot, or this desert. I was wondering who this man was when I heard a voice say, “This is he who is of a broken and contrite heart.” My eyes then went again from one side of Main Street to the other, and then back again. I was amazed at the contrast of what I was seeing. Back and forth my eyes went, just staring at the contrast of what I was seeing on both sides of street. Then suddenly, the names of the street caught my attention. It was the street that ran parallel to the base of the hill that I was standing on and perpendicular to Main Street. The name of the street that ran from the intersection of Main Street to my right was “Mystery Babylon Boulevard”, while the name of the street that ran from the intersection of Main Street to my left was “New Jerusalem Avenue”.
Psalm 51:16,17 “For you do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; for you do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart—These, O God, you will not despise.”
Psalm 34:18 “The LORD is neat to them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit.”
Isaiah 57:15 “For thus says the high and lofty one that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, “I dwell in the high and holy place with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”
Then all of sudden, the ground all around me began to shake and rumble, not like an earthquake, but like something really, really big was moving somewhere. When I looked around, I saw nothing, but when I looked up, there descending from above was New Jerusalem. To say the least, it was massive, being 1500 miles wide, 1500 miles long, and 1500 miles high. As it ascended, it so filled the sky that it blocked all of the light that was shinning from the sun, and the moon, and the stars, which in turn caused all of these worship centers to completely darken. And when they darkened, I could no longer see any activity occurring in them at all. I looked up again, and then realized that this was that city that had been completely built in the heavens, by the hand of God, a heavenly city that was now descending on earth.
I then saw brilliant lights shinning out of this city, but it was not like the light of the sun, nor was it like any kind of light that you would expect to see shining out of a window. This is hard to describe, but the entire city glowed in an amber, but the light that was shinning out of it, it was shining through all of the precious gems that were at the base, or the foundation of this city. Of course, as the light shined though these gems, the light then reflected the color of the gem that it was shinning through. For an example, the light that shined through the sapphire was blue; the light that shined through the emerald was green; and the light shinning though the topaz was a deep red, etc. Though there all of these different colors shinning out of this city, I knew that there was only once source that all this light was coming from, and that it was the glory of God in Jesus Christ. And this massive city was descending upon this man who was of a broken and contrite heart; the kind of heart that the light of this world would never shine on to esteem or glorify.
Revelation 21:18-27 “And the building of the wall of New Jerusalem was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was Jasper; the second, Sapphire; the third, a Chalcedony; the fourth, an Emerald; The fifth, Sardonyx; the sixth, Sardis; the seventh, Chrysolyte; the eighth, Beryl; the ninth, a Topaz; the tenth, a Chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a Jacinth; the twelfth, an Amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defiles, neither whatsoever works abomination, or makes a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.”
Malachi 3:16,17 “Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one to another: and the Lord hearkened and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine”, says the Lord of hosts, “In that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him.”
I then understood that this was not just some vacant lot in the desert that New Jerusalem was descending upon, but it was the land that had been cleared and prepared to receive this massive city that was now descending from above. This land had been cleared of all idolatry, of all of the works that the wisdom of pride delights in: the love and worship of Self. Those who have cleared this land are those who have allowed the Lord to break off from them the yoke of their pride and destroy their own wisdom, thus clearing the land of all the wicked desires that desire to show itself to be as God through beautiful outward appearances and by the works of iniquity. No man that loved the lies of hypocrisy and iniquity would be found anywhere on this vacant lot, but you could just walk across Main Street into Mystery Babylon, and find all of the hypocrisy and iniquity that the wisdom of pride could desire to have. only on the right side of Main Street could you find those who delighted in exalting themselves and worshipping the image of the beast. on the left, in the land prepared to receive New Jerusalem, you would find only those who were of a broken and contrite heart: whose heart had been broken of all desires to worship and glorify Self so that they could worship God in Spirit and in truth.
Now New Jerusalem is descending, and now the light of the sun and moon that shined on the wisdom of pride will be darkened. Now shall the light of the sun and moon that so shined it’s glory on hypocrisy and iniquity be darkened. Now shall the light shall be darkened that shined on the magnificence of the works of man that men honored and glorified. Now shall the light be darkened that shined on the image of the beast that men esteemed and praised. Now shall the image of the beast be destroyed, and the true character and nature of the beast in man be manifest. Now shall the man of sin, the son of perdition who hid the truth about the thoughts and motives of his heart behind lies be revealed. Now is the day of judgment; now is the day that all things will be manifest for what they truly are. Now is the day of the Lord; a day of darkness and gloominess when all men see the truth about wisdom of pride: the truth that reveals the vanity and the nothingness of the purposes and works of man. Now is the day that God alone shall be exalted.
Ecclesiastes 1:14 “I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.”
Isaiah 2:8-12 “Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made. And the mean man bows down (to worship his own image), and the great man humbles himself (before his idol): therefore do not forgive them. Enter into the rock, and you hide in the dust, for fear of the Lord and for the glory of his majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon everyone that is proud and lofty, and upon everyone that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low.”
Joel 2:1-3 “Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the Lord is coming. For it is at hand: A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
A people come, great and strong, the likes of whom has never been; nor will there ever be any such after them, even for many successive generations. A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness.
Surely nothing shall escape them. 10-13 “The earth quakes before them, the heavens tremble; the sun and moon grow dark, and the stars diminish their brightness. The Lord gives voice before his army, for his camp is very great; For strong is the one who executes his word. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; Who can endure it? “ Now, therefore,” says the LORD, “Turn to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments, and return to the Lord your God; For he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness; and he relents from doing harm.”
Luke 21:25,28 “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring. Men's hearts failing them for fear, for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near.”
As I considered what I had seen in this vision, the Spirit of the Lord quickened to me that which is written of in the book of Revelation, where there is angel that first shows John, the whore, which is “Mystery, Babylon”, and then he shows him the bride, which is New Jerusalem. The whore represents the false church that commits adultery and fornication with the idolatry of Self. She is the church that is seduced and led away from her faithful Lord by the wisdom of pride; and by reason of this wisdom, they depart from their first faith and their first love to they commit fornication with the lies that allow for them to satisfy their own lust and desires for glory and recognition. This is the unfaithful and whorish church that then shows herself enticingly beautiful when she glorifies herself with outward appearances of hypocrisy and with the works of iniquity that appear as the righteous works of God. And just like every prostitute, she does not do what she does out of love, but for the rewards of filthy lucre: man’s praises, and man’s honor, and man’s recognition, and man’s glory, that which passes away when this world passes away. Even so, the Lord continually cries out to her, “Come out of her (the wisdom of pride), my people, so that you do not become a partaker of her sins and iniquities.”
Isaiah 1:16-26 “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil, and learn to do good. Seek judgment, rebuke the oppressor. Defend the fatherless and plead for the widow. “Come now and let us reason together”, says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; and though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, then you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, then you shall be devoured by the sword”, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
How the faithful city has become a harlot! It was full of judgment and righteousness lodged in it;
but now murderers (those who think evil of their brethren). Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, nor does the cause of the widow come before them. Therefore the Lord of hosts says, the Mighty one of Israel, “Ah, I will rid myself of my adversaries, and I will take vengeance on my enemies. I will turn my hand against you, and thoroughly purge away your dross, and take away all your alloy. I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.”
I Peter 5:2,3 “Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; neither as being lords over God's heritage but as being examples to the flock.”
Then this same angel shows John the holy city, New Jerusalem coming down as the faithful bride for those who have waited for their change to come from above. Then what the angel showed John about the bride had nothing to do with what she had done on earth, but rather it was what God has prepared for her in the heavens: to be one with him in all of his beauty, in all of his power, in all of his honor, in all of his love, in all of his wisdom, and in all of his glory. As he is, so shall she be; and just what that is will not be made fully known until Jesus Christ appears.
I John 3:2 “Beloved, now are we the sons of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when he is revealed, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.”
I Corinthians 13:8-10 “Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will fail; where there are tongues, they will cease; where there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.”
II Thessalonians 1:6-10 “It is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when he comes in that Day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.”
The Lord then gave me another vision; and in this vision, I heard a trumpet sound, and when I heard it, it signified for us to look up. When I looked up, I saw Jesus coming in what I first thought to be a cloud. But as it descended, I could tell that this was not really a cloud, but it was the fullness of his Spirit. I could see power and energy swirling around inside of it like strong currents in storm cloud. This cloud was not dark at all, but it was as white as pure snow. I then saw light flashes coming from within this cloud just like you would see lightning flash in a storm cloud, but every time that I saw one of these light flashes, it was a different color. I also heard clasps of thunder that shook the heavens and the earth like a great earthquake.
Then understanding entered me, and I knew that what I was seeing was the fullness of the glory of God, the perfection of his love, and the beauty of his holiness. The power and energy was the wisdom of God: the wisdom that is the power and energy of eternal life. The thunder that I heard signified that the powers of heaven and earth were changing: the power of death and darkness was giving way to the powers of life and light. I knew that this Spirit was coming in the fullness of the divine nature of God: God in the perfection of his love. The lights that I saw flashing within, they flashed more different colors than the colors you could see in a rainbow; and when they flashed, all of the skies and the earth lit up in that color. I then understood that all of these beautiful colors together represented seeing the Lord in the beauty of his holiness. Then understanding again entered into me, and I then knew that it was the holiness of the Lord that kept the order of God. That is, I knew that it is holiness that keeps all of the blessings and gifts of God’s love flowing to all of his creatures. It is holiness in the creatures that then keeps the blessings and gifts of God’s love flowing from one creature to another. And I also saw that it is holiness that keeps that same love flowing from all of the creatures back to God, blessing God not only with love, but with thanksgivings, and praises, and glory for what Father’s love has freely given to all. I then understood that it is holiness that fulfills the will of God for all of his creatures, that each creature should be loved and love. And now the kingdom of God is coming, and his will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven. It is done.
Then the Lord said this to me, “I was born of a woman, in the likeness of sinful flesh, and I was born of the Spirit of my Father. By the Spirit of my Father I grew in wisdom and increased in faith. I was tempted in all things just as you, yet without sin. By my Father’s Spirit I learned obedience through the things that I suffered so that I could then have compassion on you in all of your temptations. Having overcome all of these temptations, I then received the Spirit of Christ after John baptized me water. When the Spirit of Christ descended upon me as dove, the kindness and love that God has for all men was joined together will all the authority and power that accompanies Father’s love. God is the Spirit of Christ, and because he was in me, I then went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the Devil.
Acts 10:38 “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the Devil because God was with him.”
John 14:9-11 “Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; so how can you say, “Show us the Father“? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does the works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.”
So now come forth my Sons in whom I am well-pleased, for by faith in my Father’s love they have overcome the first born: the wisdom of pride and all her desires to be as God. These are my sons who have overcome the governments and the religions of mystery Babylon, the mother of all abominations, all pride, all confusion, all fornications, all evil, all wickedness, all corruption, all hypocrisy, all iniquity, and all disorder. These are my Sons, for they have hated their sonship to the great whore that corrupted the order of God. Just as I put my fear in the memories of my angels, so also have I put my wisdom in the memories of my Sons so that they would be watchful not to allow their hearts to be deceived by hypocrisy or the works of iniquity. I have put my fear in their hearts so that they could overcome the disorder of this world’s wisdom; the disorder that exalts and worships the image of the beast, that which has been fashioned with men’s hands.
So now I tell you, all of you who have crucified the first born, and have been born again of my Spirit: Look up, for the Spirit of Christ is now descending upon you. Now is the time for order to be restored. Now is the time for the kingdoms of this world to become the kingdoms of God. Now will the world see me glorify my Sons, those whom I am well-pleased with because they have been well-pleased with me. Now is the time for my Sons to restore order. Now is the time for my Sons to bestow the blessings and gifts of my love on earth as they are done in heaven. Now is the time for the wisdom of my love to freely flow. Arise shine, for your light is come, and the glory of your Father is rising upon you. And the blind, and the sick, and sinners, the weak, and even the kings of earth will come to you when they see my light shinning out of you. It is done.
Romans 8:18-24 “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the Sons of God. For the creation was subjected to vanity, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only they, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.”
Luke 21:27,28 “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
Isaiah 60:1-3 “Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people. But the Lord will arise over you, and his glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”
The book has been written, and the last chapters are now being understood. I am now finishing all my works, performing all of my words, fulfilling all of my promises, and rewarding the righteous and the wicked according to that which has been written. The story has been told, and now the last chapters are being finished. It is done.
The End
