Message 60 - Book 5

 

The Holy Bible Reveals Step-By-Step The True Identity of Beloved Michael The Archangel

 

In Daniel 10:13, Michael is identified as “one of the chief princes, who came to help Daniel.” Daniel 10:21 discloses that the “scripture of truth” reveals that none holds with me [a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz (Dan 10:5) in these things, but Michael your prince" (Dan. 10:21). Dan. 12:1-2 reveals that "at a certain time Michael shall stand up, [he being] the great prince which stands for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awaken, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.”

 

“Yet Michael, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation [in that pre-Christ state], but said, The Lord [GOD the Father] rebuke thee” (Jude 9)

 

“And there was war in heaven: Michael and His angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 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. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our GOD, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our GOD day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death (Rev. 12:7-11.

 

“For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of GOD; and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord  Therefore comfort one another with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18).

 

And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed by armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; an let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereunto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nation: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 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 hears failing them for fear, and 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 [the Son of GOD, who incarnated as Jesus Christ on earth] 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 nigh (Lk. 21:20-28).

 

THE SURETY OF A BETTER TESTAMENT

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

Message 59 - Book 5

 

THE HUMAN BODY is a living flesh container that enfolds the living soul of an individual son or daughter of GOD.

 

GOD is a spirit: and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth” (Jn. 4:24), and human souls are as children of GOD’s Holy Spirit: because there is one faith, one baptism, one GOD and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.” The powerful living spirit of which all things are composed, exists in one or another of the many vibrational frequencies that make up GOD’s creation.

 

GOD is the Father-Progenitor of the Living Spirit Energy of which HIS Son has been made: Who first manifested in the earth dimension as Adam (Lk. 3:23): ”Without [earthly] father or mother and without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but abiding as a heavenly Priest forever after the order of Melchizedec: Priest of the Most High GOD; who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him (Heb 7:1,3). The spiritual principle applies: “Without contradiction the less is blesed of [by] the better” (Heb. 7:7).

 

In that way, “Jesus was made the surety of a better Testament, and there were many [earthly] priests, for they were not suffered to continue [on earth] by reason of their deaths, but this man [Jesus Christ] continues forever, having an unchangeable priesthood. “Therefore He is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto GOD by Him, seeing He forever lives to make intercession [to GOD] for them. For such a [heavenly] high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; who needs not daily, as those [earthly] high priests, to offer up sacrifices; first for his own sins, and then for the people’s; for this Jesus did once when He offered up Himself.  For the law makes [earthly] high priests which have infirmities; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, makes the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.” (Heb. 7:22-28)

 

 

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION STONES

Message 58 - Book 5

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION STONES

 

SOUL: The spirit or immaterial portion of man; the seat of human personality, intellect, will and emotion; regarded as surviving the body after death of the flesh. In Christianity: the spiritual part of a person capable of redemption from sin through Divine Grace [Pg. 955, the New Collins Dictionary and Thesaurus, Pub. 1987-1989, Glasgow.]

 

Spirit: The force or principle of life that animates the body of living things [see above-entitled book; page 964],

 

Incarnation: the act of manifesting or state of being manifested in bodily form, esp. human form [see above book, page 506] This is derived from the biblical declaration found at Genesis 2:7 in the text of the King James Bible: “And the Lord GOD formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed life into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Thus it is understood that man is a flesh embodiment of an immaterial soul.

 

Reincarnation: is the act of a soul manifesting again in a subsequent bodily form, as it moves through time and space seeking to attain to a spiritually-enhanced state of development and spiritual perfection sufficient that it may undergo spiritual rebirth and be saved: that is, preserved, into eternity. The spirit-soul is a portion of a person’s intangible being as contrasted with his physical presence; which presence has no known eternal prospects. After each earth testing experience a deceased person’s flesh body dies; as is evident by the vast numbers of cemeteries that blanket the earth. But the soul that has inhabited the flesh body does not die, unless GOD finds reason to let it pass into some other dimension where life is non-existent. The New Testament therefore sets forth the principle that if the Holy Spirit Energy of GOD enters into a human being by way of being energized by the Spirit of Jesus Christ the Son of GOD, then that individual will never suffer death of the soul, but will live forever: “For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickens them, even so the Son quickens whom He will. For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son” (Jn. 5:21-22).

 

Jesus declared, “I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water [born physically from his mother] and of the spirit [spiritual rebirth], he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD” (Jn. 3:5), that is, he must seek Jesus Christ sincerely and relentlessly to receive His powerful Spirit Energy. “He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of GOD abides on him. (Jn. 3:36).

 

HOLY SPIRIT ENERGY FLOWING THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

 

Message 57 - Book 5

 

RECEIVING THE HOLY SPIRIT ENERGY OF GOD THE FATHER FLOWING THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST

 

An example of how the Spirit of GOD enters into a man as the result of his having set his belief in Jesus Christ, and his willing obedience to Him and to GOD, is biblically illustrated in the case of Apostle Paul; who was also called Saul (Acts 13:9). Paul was also called Saul because during his earlier earth experience as Saul son of Kish (1 Sam. 10:21), he had borne that name. The phenomenon of reincarnation being what it is, the name of a child born in one particular generation may become the name under which he has previously been known. Parents frequently name their children subconsciously, for reasons they are consciously unaware, for as the Bible discloses, “There is no remembrances of former things” (Ecclesiastes 1:11).

 

Thus it was that while Paul was on his way to Damascus, carrying letters to the synagogues authorizing him to locate any men or women he might cause to have bound and carried into Jerusalem to be duly persecuted in accordance with prevailing justicial rules, an unusual light fell upon him from the heavens, which felled him to the earth, powerless to resist its shocking force. A voice declared to be that of the risen Jesus Christ also fell upon Paul, asking: why Paul was persecuting Him? This was a manifestation of the shocking spiritual rebirth experience attributed to the power of the risen Christ, the Son of GOD.

 

Paul was so shaken by this remarkable occurrence that when he awoke he saw no man around him, being to all effects blinded. He was led by his bewildered cohorts into Damascus (Acts 9:8) and continued to be blinded for three days, during which he took no food or drink (Acts 9:9). The guiding hand of the Lord then sent him to a spiritualized man named Ananias, who simply laid his hand on Paul so that the Spirit of Christ and GOD flowed into him, at which Paul regained his sight (Acts 9:10-12). It marked the beginning of Paul’s transformation in a “new man” who himself had become a conduit of the Christ’s Spirit Energy. It took Paul a while to regain his senses, after which he began to teach what he had learned during his spiritual rebirth experience

 

Paul then taught spiritual truths to the Romans (Rom. Chapters 1 to 16); the Corinthians (1 Cor. 1-16) and 2 Cor. 1-13); the Galatians (Gal. 1-18); Ephesians (Eph. 1-6); Phillipians 1-4; Colossians (Col. 1-4; the Thessalonians; the books of 1 and 2 Timothy, Book of Titus: and apparently the Book of Hebrews. It therefore became evident that Paul had received the spirit-quickening energy of GOD the Father of all things which spiritually awakened him, making him the teacher of Christ’s Apostles, even though Paul conceded that he was “the least of the Apostles and not deserving to be called an Apostle of Christ’s because he had persecuted the Church of GOD” (1 Cor. 15:9). He therefore became an outstanding example of the power of the Christ Spirit, by which He is able to atone for the sins of mankind.

 

DEEPER SPIRITUAL INSIGHTS

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

 

Message 56 - Book 5

 

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He by the grace of GOD should taste death for every man. For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.” (Heb. 2:9-10).

 

“For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. For if by one man’s offence [Adam] death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Therefore as by the offense of one [Adam], judgment came upon all men to justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience [Adam] many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one [Jesus Christ] shall many be made righteous. (Rom. 5:17-19)

 

 ”If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? For those of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. And yet it is far more evident that after the similitude of Melchizedec there arises another priest who is made not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. For He testifies, “THOU ART A PRIEST FOREVER AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEC. For there is verily a disannulment of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto GOD. (Heb. 7:11-19),

 

“And inasmuch as not without an oath He was made priest. (For those [earthly] priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by HIM that said unto Him, THE LORD SWARE AND WILL NOT REPENT, THOU ART A PRIEST AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEC). By so much was made a surety of a better testament. And they truly were many priests because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: but this man, because he continues ever lives to make intercession for them. For such a high priest [Jesus Christ] became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens. Who needs not daily, as those [earthly] high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s for this he [Jesus Christ] did once when he offered up himself. For the law makes men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, makes the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.” (Heb. 7:20-28)

 

“Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offense of one (Adam) many may be dead, much more the grace of GOD and the gift of grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Therefore as by the offense of one (Adam), judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [Jesus Christ] the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one [Jesus Christ] shall many be made righteous. (Rom. 5:14-19)

 

The surprising truth regarding the ethereal relationship between Adam – the Son of GOD who fell and thereby condemned everyone else – and Jesus Christ – who, because of His sacrifice on the Cross, GOD His Father made Him man’s Savior, Intercessor to GOD the Father of All, and man’s High priest in heaven – is that the soul in Adam and that in Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the same spirit soul – that of the Son of GOD.  The Bible confirms this remarkable truth as implied in the above-quoted verses, and in particular in Luke 3:38, where Luke retraces the Divine Lineage:

 

“Cainan, which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adamwhich was the son of GOD.”
