SOUL INCARNATIONS

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

 

Whenever a soul residing on “the other side” from earth, incarnates in the flesh body of a human newborn baby on the earth, that infant becomes the flesh manifestation of its spiritual being, concurrently existent in another dimension. Each soul enters in the earth plane for the main purpose of being tested in the much more crude and abrasive conditions of earth — including devilish temptations of the flesh aimed at drawing each incarnated soul into a state of perfidy against its creator and maker (1 Cor. 8:6).

 

Each human soul is specifically set on a course of expending its lifetime in a human body while growing to maturity undergoing a wide variety of events and occurrences designed to ascertain what that soul will elect to do about all that it faces during its earth experiences. Much of what it chooses to do depends largely upon the attitudes and habitual patterns, which have been inculcated into it by its parents who have influenced their children as they have seen fit.

 

Human life is thus seen to be a continuous chain of learning events and occurrences dramatically affecting each growing and developing soul’s mental, physical and spiritual development during its formative years. Far and away most important of these is a soul’s spirituality, upon which [generally  unknown to a soul at that early time] depends its eternal future. If a soul is fortunate enough to find and follow the way made passable into the eternal heavens by Jesus Christ’s blood sacrifice on the Cross, then any earthly disasters that may come upon the earth are of no consequence to him, because his soul is already promised a permanent life and place in the higher heavenly dimensions where that soul may continue its life experiences. Man’s soul is thus the key portion of him that represents his potentially eternal part. When he learns to believe in Jesus Christ the Son of GOD, and follows Him and obeys Him, he opens the door to heaven and is able to pass therein, for Christ is the door! His flesh body dies on earth, but his soul is changed forever into an eternal form, enabling him to live forever in the presence of the Son of GOD.

 

VERSES TAKEN FROM THE BOOK OF ROMANS

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

 

Rom. 5:14: “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of Him [Jesus Christ] that was to come.  Rom 5:17-19 adds: 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 offence of one [ Adam]  judgment came upon all men to condemnation: even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men to unto justification of life. For as by one man’ [Adam's] disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one [Jesus Christ]shall many be made righteous.

 

These two sets of verses are further confirmed by Luke’s little-noted revelation that the Spirit of Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD, had before entered into the earth dimension as Adam: “Jared was the Son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the Son of GOD (Luke 3:37-38).

THE PROJECTED RETURN OF THE SON OF GOD

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

 

The return of Jesus Christ the Son of GOD looms ever-nearer, with signs being given presaging it. It is explained in the Book of Acts, that until the day in which Jesus was taken up into heaven to GOD His Father’s right hand, that Jesus had given commandments through His Apostles whom He had chosen (Acts 1:1-2). They being assembled with Him, He spoke pertaining to the Kingdom of GOD, and He commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which they had heard from Him, Jesus. When they were come together, they asked Him if He would at that time restore again the Kingdom to Israel (Acts 1:6). But Jesus replied that it was not for them to know the times or seasons, which the Father had put in HIS own power (Acts 1:7).

 

As of that time, GOD had hot delegated such powers to His Son: That empowerment would come later, as disclosed in Mt. 28:18). But Jesus did reveal to the Apostles that that they would receive power after the Holy Ghost would come upon them, and that they were to be witnesses unto Him in Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria and the uttermost parts of the earth. And when He had spoken these things, they beheld Him being taken up where a cloud received Him out of their sight. And even as they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven  (Acts 1:-8-11).

 

This is explained in the Book of Matthew, where it is inscribed: “For then shall be great tribulations, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should not flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.  Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there, believe it not. For there shall arise false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders; inso much that if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before,  Where if they say unto you, Behold He is in the deser; go not forth: behold He is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.(Mt. 24: 21-27).

 

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and with great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heavn to the other.” (Mt. 24:29-31)

 

“Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender and puts forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh. So likewise, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass till all these things be fufilled. Heaven and earth shall not pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also the coming of the Son of man be.  For as in the days that were before the Flood they were eating and drinking and giving in marriage, until the very day that Noah entered into the Ark. They knew not until the Flood came, and took them all away; so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.” (Mt. 24:32-39).

 

We all need to WATCH! lest the Lord suddenly return and catch many unaware and unprepeared!

 

APOSTLE PAUL - IV

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

 

“That which we sow is not quickened is not quickened unless it dies. And that body which we sow is not the body that shall be, but bare grain if grain; it may be wheat or some other grain. But in all caes, GOD gives it a body as it pleases HIM, and to every seed its own particular body.  That is: all flesh is not the same flesh: there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fish, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the terrestrial is one and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differs from another star in glory.” (1 Cor. 15:36-41),

 

“So also is the resurrection of the dead. [The soul] is sown in corruption [not yet having acquired the Saving, quickening Spirit Energy of Jesus Christ] but it is raised in incorruption [when it receives the Christ Spirit]: thus it is sown in weakness; but is raised in power (Phil. 3:21). Ir is sown a natural body: it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is also a spiritual body, And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; but the “last Adam” [Jesus Christ] was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man [Adam] was of the earth, earthy and unspiritualized, for which reason he fell from GOD’s Grace; [but] the second man the “second Adam” [Jesus Christ] is the Lord from heaven” (1 Cor. 15:42-47]

 

“As we have borne the image of the earthy, so we will 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. (1 Cor. 15:49-50.) The Bible discloses that all flesh is corrupted, unless and until it undergoes spiritualization by our Beloved Lord Jesus Christ, which cleanses souls and quickens them into eternity. Until it is quickened by the Christ Spirit, the soul in a “natural man” remains as Paul had been before his spiritual rebirth experience on the Damascus Road. In that state, he persecuted those who believed in Jesus Christ and did not follow Him, believe in Him, nor obey Him. But after being converted by the Christ Spirit, Paul understood the truth, and turned his life around, and went off preaching and teaching Jesus Christ’s New Covenant Gospel to all who would hear him: including those in the tribes of Israel who also had not yet been quickened by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ.

 

Speaking of the Latter Days of earth testing, Paul declared: “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. For this incorruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O DEATH, WHERE IS THY STING? O GRAVE, WHERE IS THY VICTORY? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to GOD, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Cor. 15:51-57

 

We see in these events a great lesson: The key to salvation into eternal life is activated when the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ is radiated into an incarnated soul of a human being on earth; as in the case of Christ’s Apostles and followers. Thus it is apparent that the hope for eternal life of all mankind lies in the spiritualization of all incarnated souls on earth. But it is an individual matter.  Each soul must choose to seek, find, follow and obey Jesus Christ on its own, and if and when it is successful it can live forever. That which Apostle Paul learned on his own applies to all of us. It is not available to masses at one time; which is why the Bible advises that not many will be saved into eternity.  What we get is what we seek, and the time to seek is not unlimited. The earth is man’s testing ground, and it is vitally important to pass God’s test.

 

APOSTLE PAUL - III

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

 

After Apostle Paul’s spiritual rebirth experience on the Damascus Road he was spiritually enlightened. A better word might be that he was illuminated, after which he was radically changed into a new man, who no longer sought to persecute Jesus’ followers, but rather spoke from his new spiritual condition. He described this change as follows: “Your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of GOD. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect; yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: which none of the princes of this world knew; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. But as it is written, EYE HATH NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NEITHER HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN, THE THINGS WHICH GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM.” (1 Cor. 2:8).

 

“But God has revealed them unto us by HIS SPIRIT: for the Spirit searches all things, yea the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of man, save for the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God. Which things we speak not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Cor. 2:10-14).

 

The long and short of this message is that the natural man is without the Holy Spirit Energy of Jesus Christ the Son of GOD. After Paul received that Holy Spirit, he was no longer a “natural man,” but possessed the Spirit of GOD radiated into him from Christ, who, being energized by GOD the Father’s Holy Spirit, conveys it to those who believe in Him, follow Him, and obey Him (Acts 5:29, 32; Heb. 5:9). It changed Paul into a new, spiritualized man, causing him to run away from all iniquity and evil-doing, so that from that time on he reversed his course in life during the remainder of that earth experience, and went off in a direction that was new to him. He traveled widely, meeting and talking with people everywhere, teaching Jesus’ Christ’s Gospel to all who would hear him.

 

On reflection, we perceive that there are vast numbers of incarnated souls in the earth dimension who, like Paul, enter their earth incarnations in flesh without having yet received the Christ Spirit that transforms them from “natural men” into spiritualized individuals whose love of GOD and obeying HIS WILL guides, moves, and directs them from doing evil; instead serving HIM in accordance with HIS WILL.This leads to the understanding that the earth is largely populated with men lacking Christ’s Spirit, rendering them “natural men,” without the Spirit Energy of GOD in them, but often with a reprobate mind (Rom. 1:28-32).

 

But we see Apostle Paul as an example of a soul incarnated in flesh on the earth that “found “the Lord Jesus Christ and believed in Him, followed Him and obeyed Him, counting on Him to Save him because he had done what he had done before as a blasphemer and a persecutor, and injurious but he obtained mercy because he had done what he had done ignorantly and in unbelief (1 Tim. 1: 12-16).

 

Looking around us as at souls currently incarnated in the earth dimension, it is clear that the vast majority have not yet obtained the Holy Spirit Energy of Jesus Christ, and do not believe in Him, follow Him, and obey Him. Salvation is an individual thing. Each soul must obtain it for self by professing and pressing belief in Jesus Christ, following Him, and obeying Him: which is also to obey GOD the Father of All, who sent HIS Son into the earth dimension to save all souls who will obey Him. We get what we seek; and if we seek Jesus Christ correctly we receive His Spirit Energy and never die. As Jesus exclaimed: “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in GOD, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a  place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, you may be also. And whither I go you know, and the way you know.” (Jn. 14:1-4) Those who believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior, Intercessor to GOD and high priest in heaven, await His return to take dominion over the earth and to take them up with Him where He resides at the right hand of GOD the Father or all.

PAUL - II

PAUL -1

Saturday, December 4th, 2010

 

There was a great persecution against the Church in Jerusalem and people were all scattered abroad throughout Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. Devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentations over him. But as for Saul, he made havoc of the church, “entering into every house, and haling men and women and committing them to prison. Therefore they were scattered abroad and went everywhere preaching the word of Jesus Christ ” (Acts 8:1-4).

 

 Saul continued his threatening ways, threatening slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, and he went unto the high priest seeking letters of addressed to Damascus to the synagogues, seeking permission to bring any men or women he found along his way — whether they be men or women — that he would be cleared to take them bound into Jerusalem. When he came to near to Damascus, a light from heaven shone round about him, and he fell to the earth, hearing a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” (Acts 9:1-4).

 

Saul replied, “Who art thou, Lord?” And the Lord replied, “I am Jesus whom you persecute: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks; meaning, it is hard on me for you to do these things against me. Saul, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord what wilt thou have me do?”

 

The Lord replied, “Arise and go into Damascus and it shall be told thee what thou must do” (Acts 9:6). The men who were journeying with Saul stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no man. Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened those present led him by the hand into Damascus. Saul was blind for three days, and did not eat nor drink. There was a certain disciple of Christ’s in Damascus named Ananias, who was at the time experiencing a vision. “And the Lord said unto him, “Arise and go into Straight Street, and enquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for he is now praying there, and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.” (Acts 9:11-12).

 

But Ananias, for all his spirituality, was not overly impressed by this development He had heard a great detail about the evil Saul had committed against the Lord’s saints at Jerusalem, and he knew about the authority granted to the chief priests to bind up and secure anyone who called upon the name of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD (Acts 9:13-14). But the Lord knew better, and He said to Ananias, “Go your way; for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and the children of Israel: For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.

 

{When it was written that “Saul’s eyes were opened, it carried a double meaning: not only were his physical eyes opened, but his spiritual eyes were also opened, and from that time on the Spirit Energy of Jesus Christ was in Saul, conveying spiritual truth to him, and guiding, moving and directing him in all he did: so that his name was changed to Paul to reflect that the Christ Spirit had indeed converted him into a new man.]

ARCHANGEL MICHAEL

Sunday, October 31st, 2010

 

 

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

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

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

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.”

 

MORE THINGS CHARLES DARWIN OVERLOOKED

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

 

Message 55 - Book 5

 

 

As clarified and expained by the writer to the Hebrews, speaking of Jesus Christ the Son of GOD:

 

“Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things He suffered: and being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him. Called of GOD an high priest after the order of Melchizedek. Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered seeing you are dull of hearing. For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of GOD; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. But strong meat belongs to those who are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” (Heb. 5:8-14, and Compare Heb. 8:22-28)

 

Unlike the repeated sacrifices of animals, “Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.(Heb. 9: 28).

 

“By so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant. Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens, who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.” (Heb. 7:22-28)

THINGS CHARLES DARWIN OVERLOOKED

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

 

Message 54 - Book 5

Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882) was a naturalist and the originator of the theory of evolution, now known as Darwinism. The grandson of Erasmus Darwin and of Josiah Wedgwood. he studied at Edinburgh University, but took the baccalerate degree at Christ Church College, University of Cambridge in 1831. He served as naturalist on the expedition that circumnavigated the world on the Beagle from 1831 to 1836,  On that voyage he made many important observations that became the basis for The Zoology of the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle (edited by Darwin (1839-43) and of his own works, The Structure and distribution of Coral Reefs (1842), etc.

 

Darwin had long been working on a theory of evolution that he was prepared to publish when he learned that his friend Alfred Russell Wallace then in the East Indies, was preparing to publish a manuscript setting forth substantially the same theory. Darwin was disposed to let Wallace publish the theory first, but relented when it was suggested that both works be published at the same time.  Both papers were read at the same meeting in London. Darwin developed his theory in as work called, On the Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859. It created a wide and  profound sensation, for the work was perceived as conflicting with the prevailing interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. In his work, The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex (1871), Darwin added to the controversy by advancing the theory that men and apes were descended from a common anthropoid ancestor.

 

Now it is true that the flesh bodies of men may conceivably have descended from a common line of manlike ancestry, insofar as the flesh bodies were concerned, but not at all insofar as other critically important spiritual elements are concerned. Obviously, the brilliant Charles Darwin had simply not adequately considered information available to him at the Christ Church College that he had attended; for some reason apparently not considering important to his quest. By that lapse, he failed to consider in his work some most important biblical features; or he gave them short shrift. He left out consideration of the human soul as a key element in his considerations! 

 

Following are quotations from The New Collins Dictionary and Thesaurus, containing information available long before its publication date, and quite commonly known:

 

Soul: the spirit or immaterial part of man, the seat of human personality, intellect, will, and emotions;  regarded as an entity that survives the body after death. In Christianity: the spiritual part of a person, capable of redemption from sin through divine grace. (pg.955.

 

Spirit: the force or principle of life that animates the body of living things. (Pg. 964) That which constitutes a person’s intangible being, as contrasted with his physical presence. (Pg. 964)

 

The workings of the spirit and soul, and their origins, are found in the Holy Bible: “And the Lord GOD formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” (Gen. 2:7).

 

Said another way: The Spirit Energy of GOD the Father of all — for HE is a Spirit (Jn. 4:24) – of which all things are composed; and Christ HIS Son has made all things that were made from that Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 8). Else, how can we explain that a man possesses a soul that can be redeemed from his sinful state by the divine grace of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Savior, Intercessor to GOD, and our eternal high priest in heaven (Heb. 5:8-10), who has superceded and replaced all earthly priests for those who will accept Him (Heb. 5:5

JOSEPH, SON OF JACOB; A SOUL INCARNATION OF THE SON OF GOD PRECEDENT TO HIS LATER MANIFESTATION ON EARTH AS JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH: SAME SOUL, PERFECTED, IN DIFFERENT BODIES IN DIFFERENT TIMES

 

Prophet Balaam foretold that a STAR would come out of Jacob, who would become the GOD-quickened heavenly Scepter predestined to ultimately rise up out of Israel. Balaam stated the would see Him, but not then, because in his time the STAR had not yet manifested on earth. He foretold:

 

“I shall see Him but not now: I shall behold Him, but not nigh; there shall come a star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel…(Numbers 24:17).

 

That STAR prophesied to come out of Jacob was Joseph, whose higher self in heaven was at that time an earth manifestation of the Son of GOD, whose soul — perfected in the spiritual fires of the earth plane –would subsequently reincarnate as Jesus Christ of Nazareth — in fulfillment of another dream of Balaam’s:

 

“Out of Jacob shall come He that shall have dominion” (Numbers 24:19). This STAR had long been foretold to reign over the Twelve Tribes of Israel:

 

“I have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches: I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning Star”. (Rev. 22:16)

 

“For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler, but the birthright was Joseph’s” (1 Chron. 5:1-2).

 

It had been foretold through Prophet Micah that the one who was to one day rule the heavenly Israel would be born on earth in Bethlehem, in Judah: and Bethlehem turned out to be Jesus’ birthplace (Micah 5:2-3)…an event far beyond the reach of mere chance.

MESSAGE 52 - BOOK 5

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

 

All life is a test, designed to record each soul’s incarnations in the earth plane in to enable GOD the Father and Jesus Christ the Son of GOD to ascertain how each soul establishes gains or losses toward its eventual placement in the heavenly hierarchy; or whatever dispensation it deserves.

 An examination of pertinent passages in the Holy Bible indicates that a pattern of reincarnation exists which governs mankind’s spiritual gains or losses, under the princple that all things gained or loosed on the earth, are concurrently gained or loosed in heaven (Mt. 18:18). An example of how reincarnation works is displayed in the Bible in unmistakeable terms, as follows.

 Asaph son of Beriah was at one time the recorder and a musician in the time of Kings David and Solomon 2 Kin. 18:18, 37).At one point Asaph was appointed, along with Heman and Ethan, to sound the brass symbols (1 Chron. 15:19).  he and Asaph made a sound with cymbals. On that day, David first delivered a psalm to thank the Lord into the hand of Asaph and his brothers (1 Chron. 16:7-11). :Moreover, David and the captains of the host separated to the service the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of workmen according to their service was: the sons of Asaph; Zacur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelath, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king (1 Chron. 25:1-3)

 These above biblical recordings indicate that Asaph was a member of the orchestra, holding the position of chief at that time. But he was due to receive a much higher position. The singers the sons of Asaph had their place according to the commandment of David and Asaph (2 Chron: 35 15). As of that time, Asaph had been elevated to a higher level, so that he was working with King David! which presaged his further advancement.

 Moving forward considerably in time: Asaph, in his Psalm 82, is quoted in the Bible as having asserted: “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are the children of the Most High, but ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Arise Oh God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations” (Psalm 82:6-8).

 Long afterward, in the Book of John, it is biblically inscribed that Jesus had said, “Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are Gods?

Stated briefly: Jesus quoted what He had said when He walked the earth as Asaph, a transparent example of reincarnation!

THE LAW OF OPPOSITES:

 

 

Long ago a Zen master was once asked by a student to explain the wisest spiritual saying he had ever learned. He replied to those gathered around: “I was not here today and I taught you nothing!“ Well, those in his small audience immediately realized that the master was indeed there, because they observed him standing right before them, and they knew that he had been standing in front of them right along. Thus they struggled to understand the immense value of what he said he had taught them, he having assured them that it was the most valuable spiritual knowledge of which he was aware.

 

When none of his students were able to figure out the riddle, the Zen master at length disclosed that he had revealed to them the extremely valuable principle that all things have some opposite aspect or condition: that nothing exists except that it has some opposing aspect to balance it.

 

This valuable principle is found even in the teachings of Jesus Christ the Son of GOD. For example, our One and only Beloved Master and Lord above all other powers and principalities, taught that Love is the foundation of all life: that we are to love others as we love ourselves. Within that principle is found the great truth that to love others has an equal and opposite reflective value: that they will love us even as we love them. As the Master taught in the matter of a certain group being hated by others, “If you love them, they cannot hate you for very long!” Love is thus the cure for hatred, its opposite! We see this principle as being applicable even to the conflicts between nations today. For example: Israel manifests no hatred toward the rest of the world, but rather lives in peace. But Iran has vowed to utterly destroy Jews from the face of the earth, a bitter antagonism that threatens the total destruction of a nation that espouses peace for all nations that leave it alone. Iran should be careful that by its deadly threats against Israel, that it does nor reap its own destruction by the hand of GOD whose intentions are to help those who help others; who do not embark on a crusade against others in a world where peace belongs to those who are peaceful.

 

 

We are all part of a system in which destructive attitudes bring destruction to those who are destructive. For example, in World War II the imperialistic Japanese at that time joined with Germany to launch a great war upon other nations who were no threat against them. By so doing they brought about their own loss to the point that their destruction was held in the hands of the Allied Nations who brought them down. But those nations did not insist upon their destruction when they had been brought to their knees, so they have survived and even prospered to this day. Would not Iran do well to heed these readily apparent lessons, and back off from the position which it has adopted against those nations that are not threatening it? Obviously, by threatening others by its insistence upon constructing atomic weapons while under the control of rulers who indicate no peaceful intentions whatever, but are secretive in a situation where secrecy is unnecessary except if they themselves have designs for world disruption — including the destruction of Israel and all other nations that refuse to adopt their particular radical religious beliefs. There is no love in them for the rest of humanity; only hatred and a persistent longing for unneeded power, for which reason the world has no reason to trust them.

 

Seeking the destruction of Israel, and ultimately that of other nations who refuse to bow to their radical ways, they should be careful what they seek, because they may themselves become the victim of that negative result which they seek for others!

MESSAGE 50 - BOOK 5

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

 

GOD is a Spirit: and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth” (Jn. 4:24).

 

We learn by implication from this that GOD our Beloved Creator of all that is, or ever has been, is composed of  a living ethereal immaterial substance – a special kind of Creative Spirit Energy unique to HIMSELF.  Apostle Paul — after his remarkable spiritual rebirth experience on the Damascus Road — wrote to the Ephesians, that ”there is ONE GOD and Father of All, who is above all, and through all, and in you all” (Eph. 4:6). By this we understand that GOD our Beloved Father-Creator is a Spirit Entity we may understand to be an Eternal Glorious non-material Being, capable of creating, supervising and administering all dimensions of reality HE chooses to Create. This HE does, but with the assistance of HIS Son, who entered into the earth plane from eternal heavenly dimensions to “finish the work of GOD His Father, by doing the Will of HIM who sent Him (Jn. 4:34; Jn. 5:36).

 

To enable GOD’s Son to finish the work HE had commenced, GOD the Father gave HIS Son power over heaven and the earth (Mt. 28:18). We are thus to give thanks unto our Father-Creator…”WHO has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of HIS dear Son: in whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins: who is the image of the invisible GOD, the firstborn of every creature. For by Him [the Son] were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. And He is head of the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, and that in all things He might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell: and having made peace through the blood of His Cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him I say, whether they be things in earth or things in heaven.” Colossians 1:12-20).

 

Thus it is disclosed in the Holy Scripture of Truth, that GOD the Father of all things — the Creative Spirit Energy of all things that have existed to our time — has seen fit to turn over to HIS Son a vast portion of HIS SPIRIT power and authority. At last biblical pronouncement, HE has reserved unto Himself certain powers, enumerated in the Book of Acts, as Jesus Himself declared to His Apostles: “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in HIS own power” (Acts 1:7). This poses an interesting question for Bible scholars: Did GOD the Father retain the power to ”know the times or seasons” which GOD had – according to Jesus — reserved to HIMSELF, so that those powers still remain with HIM? The Bible does not disclose the answer to this ethereal question which remains subject to disclosure by the Spirit: as Jesus Christ announced:

 

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame and am set down with my Father in HIS Throne. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches” (Rev. 3:20-22).  

 

MESSAGE 49 - BOOK 5

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

 

The spiritual meaning of our Beloved Lord’s Prayer, understood in the context of Beloved Apostle Paul’s comment, biblically defined in 2 Cor. 3:3-6: and cf. Rom. 2:29, in which Paul writes: “But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of GOD.”

 

We understand from our beloved Bible and Scripture of Truth, that GOD is a Spirit (Jn. 4:24); our Beloved Father of all things that are, ever were, or that ever will be, so that we have one Lord, Jesus Christ the Son of GOD, one faith, and one baptism. And we have one GOD and Father of all, who is above all, and in us all, and through us all, and unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ’s [sacrifice on the Cross] (Ephsians 4:5-7). The Holy Bible thus advises us that when we pray, to enter into our secret door, and pray to our Father which seeeth in secret, and shall reward us openly. And we are counseled that when we pray, not to use vain repetitions as do the heathen, for they believe they will be heard for much speaking.

 

We are to pray the Lord’s Prayer in this manner:

 

“Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy Will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not any more into temptation, but deliver us from evil; For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen”

 

Praying the Lord’s Prayer is powerful beyond words to describe it! GOD’s Holy Spirit Energy enters into those who fervently pray it, quickening them in spirit in powerful ways that can only be understood by praying it fervently and often. Praying to the Lord “to give us our daily bread” implores GOD to give us HIS Holy Spirit Energy that quicken us into immortality. And when we ask HIM to “forgive us our debts as we forgive us our debtors,” we seek to repent the sins we have committed against others, so they will no longer be held against us. And when we pray to GOD that we no longer be led into temptation, we ask HIM to lead us into pathways free from the influences of Satan the negative archangel

 

We are advised not to lay up earthly treasures, but rather to lay up heavenly treasures that are beyond the power of thieves to break into and steal; for the treasures we choose to focus upon during our earth experiences will indicate where our hearts really are. Therefore we are advised that we should take no thought about earthly things — what we shall drink or eat or wear — but rather to seek the Kingdom of GOD and HIS Righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto us. Therefore take no thought for tomorrow: for tomorrow shall take thought for things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” (Mt. 6:20-34).

 

Message 48 - Book 5

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

 

Because GOD our Beloved Father and Creator of all things has specifically Created One Special Son; and granted Him power over heaven and the earth (Mt. 28:18), reserving to HIMSELF the power of determining times and seasons (Acts 1:7). And because the Bible discloses that GOD the Father is a Spirit who desires that we worship HIM in Spirit and in Truth (Jn. 4:23-24), and that HE sent His Son into the earth dimension “to do the Will of HIM that sent the Son into the earth dimension to finish GOD’s Work” (Jn. 4:34) — which works bore witness that GOD His Father had sent Him. (Jn. 5:36). Thus, incarnated as Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Son of GOD declared:

 

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do: for what things soever HE does, these things also the Son does likewise. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that HE HIMSELF does: and HE will how Him greater works than these that you may marvel. 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 to the Son: that all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father: He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father which sent Him. Verily, verily I say unto you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of GOD: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father has life in HIMSELF; so has HE given to the Son to have life in Himself: and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man” (Jn. 5:19-27).

 

We learn from the above-quoted verses that GOD is a spirit — composed of an ethereal all-powerful Creative Holy Energy — implying that GOD is not a solid, as are human beings, but rather is an Energy from which mankind has been created and given a temporal bodily form of life, which expires when it is no longer able to sustain life. But when a human being dies, if it has fulfilled the requirements of its testing, it may be quickened by the life-giving Spirit of the Son of GOD, which is the Spirit of GOD the Father of All things that are or that have ever been. One key to attaining to this quickening of the spirit-soul into eternal life in heaven, is obedience to GOD and to HIS Son, who was Jesus the Christ on earth (1 Sam. 15:2; Acts 5 29,32; Acts 7:39; Rom. 2:8; Heb. 5:9).

 

Human life on earth is a magnificent test, to determine which souls will be obedient to GOD’s will, and that of the Son of GOD. Anyone permitted eternal life in heaven must be obedient to GOD the Father the Creator of all things, and the Son of GOD who came into the earth plane to finish the grand work GOD had begun, as noted supra. And it is not the flesh body that is to be taken up into heaven when it is time: it is the soul, as Apostle John quoted Jesus as having declared “If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also” (Jn. 14:4). This verse coincides with Apostle Paul’s landmark comment that, “Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of GOD; neither does corruption inherit incorruption” (1 Cor. 15:50). So we see that it is not the flesh and blood body of a saved soul that is to be transported into heaven; but rather it is the soul of the saved human being!

 

Message 47 - Book 5

MESSAGE 47 - BOOK 5

The Holy Bible reveals that “GOD IS A SPIRIT, and that HE is to be worshiped in spirit and in truth” (Jn. 4:24). This appears to indicate that GOD our Beloved Creator is composed of spirit energy — a form vastly above all flesh entities. The Holy Scripture of truth sagely advises us that GOD our Creator and Beloved Father of all. sent HIS Spirit Son into the world that the world through HIS SON might be saved (Jn. 3:17). The Son of GOD speaks the words of GOD the Father, for GOD did not simply measure out HIS Spirit Energy to HIS Son (Jn. 3:34). Because GOD the Father loves HIS SON, HE has given all things into His hand, so that he that believes in HIS Son has everlasting life (Jn. 3:36).The Son of GOD has been given all power over heaven and the earth (Mt. 28:18); including the power to forgive man’s sins ((Mk. 2:10). When He returns in the Cloud, [in which He had appeared long ago in the cloud to Israel], it will be as Beloved John quoted Jesus as having prophesied:

 

“Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in GOD, believe also in me. In my Father’s House are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know” (Jn. 14:1-4).

 

The sum of these above messages is that the Son of GOD will return when it is time — after the earth testing of incarnated souls is completed.

 

GOD the Father is the Spirit-Creator of all things, and HIS Son is the Maker of all things, including us! Should not we then conclude that they are two different Spirit-Entities, composed of the Spirit Energy of GOD the Father as HE has particularly seen fit to dispense it  to HIS Son?

 

The Holy Bible defines a clear difference between GOD the Creator of all things, and HIS Son; whose Spirit is a portion of the Spirit of His Father-Creator. 

 

Message 46- Book 5

MESSAGE 46 - BOOK 5

The spiritual meaning of our Beloved Lord’s Prayer, understood in the context of Beloved Apostle Paul’s comment, biblically defined in 2 Cor. 3:3-6: and cf. Rom. 2:29, in which Paul writes: “But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of GOD.”

 

We understand from our beloved Bible and Scripture of Truth, that GOD is a Spirit (Jn. 4:24); our Beloved Father of all things that are, ever were, or that ever will be, so that we have one Lord, Jesus Christ the Son of GOD, one faith, and one baptism. And we have one GOD and Father of all, who is above all, and in us all, and through us all, and unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ’s [sacrifice on the Cross] (Ephesians 4:5-7). The Holy Bible thus advises us that when we pray, to enter into our secret door, and pray to our Father which seeth in secret, and shall reward us openly. And we are counseled that when we pray, not to use vain repetitions as do the heathen, for they believe they will be heard for much speaking.

 

We are to pray the Lord’s Prayer in this manner:

 

“Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy Will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not any more into temptation, but deliver us from evil; For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen”

 

Praying the Lord’s Prayer is powerful beyond words to describe it! GOD’s Holy Spirit Energy enters into those who fervently pray it, quickening them in spirit in powerful ways that can only be understood by praying it fervently and often. Praying to the Lord “to give us our daily bread” implores GOD to give us HIS Holy Spirit Energy that quicken us into immortality. And when we ask HIM to “forgive us our debts as we forgive us our debtors,” we seek to repent the sins we have committed against others, so they will no longer be held against us. And when we pray to GOD that we no longer be led into temptation, we ask HIM to lead us into pathways free from the influences of Satan the negative archangel

 

We are advised not to lay up earthly treasures, but rather to lay up heavenly treasures that are beyond the power of thieves to break into and steal; for the treasures we choose to focus upon during our earth experiences will indicate where our hearts really are. Therefore we are advised that we should take no thought about earthly things — what we shall drink or eat or wear — but rather to seek the Kingdom of GOD and HIS Righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto us. Therefore take no thought for tomorrow: for tomorrow shall take thought for things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” (Mt. 6:20-34).

 

Message 45 - Book 5

Understanding one of the heavenly empowerments granted to our Beloved Lord Jesus the Christ, the Son, by GOD the Father of All, involves the spiritual truth that the Son of GOD is man’s heavenly Intercessor – as well as man’s Savior and High Priest in heaven.

 

Dictionary definition of “Intercessor” is: “One who petitions on behalf of another,” thereby acting to assist the one for whom intercession is sought. The position of our Beloved Jesus Christ in heavenly realms is described by the spiritually-enlightened Apostle Paul in the Holy Bible:

 

“It is Christ who died and is risen again, who is even at the right hand of GOD, and who also makes intercession for us” (Rom. 8:34).

 

“Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not that we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered. And He that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of GOD” (Rom. 8:26-27).

 

“The law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by which we draw nigh unto GOD. And inasmuch as not without an oath he (Christ) was made priest: for [beforetime] priests were made without an oath; but this [Christ] with an oath by him that said unto Him, THE LORD SWARE AND WILL NOT REPENT, THOU ART A PRIEST FOREVER AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEC. And there truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death. But this man, because He continues ever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto GOD by Him, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them. For such an 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 for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this He 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. 7:23-28).

 

Prophet Isaiah had  accurately foretold events predestined to transpire after his time, describing what would take place when Jesus would later undergo His momentous Saving Sacrfice on the Cross on behalf of all men who would ever after follow Him and obey Him:

 

“He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because He had done no violence, neither was  there any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; HE has put Him to grief: when Thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shalt see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.” (cf. Jn. 1:29; 2 Cor. 5:21).

 

“He shall see the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall MY righteous servant justify many: for He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide a portion of the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong: because He has poured out His soul unto death: and He was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:9-12).

 

Message 43 - Book 5

Message 43 – Book 5 

When the time drew near for the Old Covenant to be replaced by the New Covenant, the Lord spoke through His Prophet Jaremiah to announce:

 

“Behold the days come, says the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel…This shall be the covenant that I will make with the House of Israel: After those days, said the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts; and I will be their GOD and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord, for they shall all know me from the least of them unto the greatest, said the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more (Jer. 31:31-34).

 

Long afterward, Jeremiah’s prophesy found expression again in the New Testament:

 

“But now has He (Christ) obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also He is the Mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place have been sought for a second. For finding fault with them, He says, Behold the days come says the Lord when I will make a new covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah (Ref. Galatians 3:26-28). Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, said the Lord. (Heb. 8:6-9).

 

To this was subsequently added: “Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness for us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after these days, says the Lord, I will put my laws in their hearts, and in their minds will I write them (Heb. 10:15-16)

 

Jesus Christ became man’s heavenly High Priest, having expiated the sin incurred by Adam, by His ultimate blood sacrifice on the Cross, by which He paid man’s sin-acquired debts in the same realm of existene on earth, in which the original offense had been incurred (Rom. 5:12-21).

 

Because GOD the Father and HIS Son are sealed into a state of spiritual at-one-ness, Jesus’ profound sacrifice on the Cross allowed souls incarnated in flesh to receive the Holy Ghost, and to attune to GOD the Father. This opened an entirely new heavenly relationship for earth-bound man, in that he was able to attune to GOD the Father by Christ the Son, a reliable and dependable intercessor.

 

This overtly contrasted against the old covenant in that under it the children of Israel had been dependent upon human priests to intercede to GOD on their behalf — human priests who tended to be imperfect and sometimes spiritually unreliable to the extent that under the Old Covenant man’s relationship with GOD was at times steered away from spirituality and more toward earthly rites and rituals designed and fostered by men who did not have direct contact with the Lord as did prophets on the order of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel.

 

Thus when the Lord selected HIS Son to finish the work HE HIMSELF had begun in the earth plane (Jn. 4:34; Jn. 5:36), it marked a huge step forward for mankind, because GOD’s Son was reliable to the utmost, as He had proved beyond the shadow of a doubt when He went willingly to the Cross to attune for man’s sins.

 

Message 42 - Book 5

Prophet Balaam long ago promised that a STAR would come out of Jacob, and would become a GOD-quickened Heavenly Scepter, predestined to rise up out of Israel. Balaam made it clear that he would see Him, but not then, because in Balaam’s time the Star had not yet been born:

 

“I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh. There shall come a star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise up out of Israel.” (Num. 24:17).

 

As it turned out, the Star foretold to emerge from Jacob was Joseph the son of Jacob, whose higher-self Spirit in heaven is understood to be the Lord the Son of GOD, who the Bible discloses had first entered the earth plane as Adam (Lk. 3:38). Long afterward that Spirit is understood to have incarnated on the earth as Jesus of Nazareth, in fulfillment of yet another dream of Balaam’s:

 

Out of Jacob shall come He that shall have dominion.” (Num. 24:19)

 

This Star was predestined to reign over the Twelve Tribes of Israel:

 

“I [Jesus] have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches: I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. (Rev. 22:16)

 

“For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph’s (1 Chron. 5:1-2).

 

It was foretold through Prophet Micah that the One who was to one day rule Israel would be born in Bethlehem, in Judah; which turned out to be Jesus’s birthplace. Micah’s remarkable prophecy also foretold that a remnant of the tribes of Israel would return in Jesus’ time (Micah 5:23) — a momentous event guided from above by the Son that GOD had formed (Ps. 2:6-12). It appears that the children of Israel who had obeyed the Son of GOD were the same souls foretold by Prophet Malachi to return (Mal. 3:16-18); and it appears that they did return in the flesh as men of Jewish descent, at the time of Jesus of Nazareth’s appearance on earth.

 

That these events were to come to pass, was subtly revealed in Jacob’s predictions to Joseph, and in his blessings to some of his twelve sons. When he was age-atricken, Jacob blessed them, and posted a startling prediction that carried important future famifications.:

 

“And Israel [Jacob] said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but GOD shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers (Gen. 48:21).

 

This turned out to be a dual prophesy, applicable in both the letter and spiritual sense. In the letter sense, it foretold that Josephs bones would be brought out of Egypt at the start of the Exodus; carried into Canaan and buried there in accordance with Joseph’s deathed request (Gen. 50:25). As subseqently noted in the Book of Joshua, Joseph’s dying wish was duly carried out:

 

“And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Israel, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritanceof the children of Joseph” (Josh. 24:32).

 

But Jacob’s fore-vision that GOD would bring Joseph again unto the land of his fathers, apparently carried a more spiritual meaning. It did not simply foretell that Joseph’s skeletel remains would be returned to the land of his fathers, but rather it is understood by some to foreshadow that his spirit would subsequently appear again in flesh — which apparently occurred when He was later born as Joshua the son of Nun (Exodus 33:9-12).

 

These above-described events represent a spiritually-defined pattern of reincarnation which appears to trace the earth testing of some souls that have appeared in the earth dimension in a biblically-recorded pattern that indicates that souls pass through a severe testing in the earth dimension while learning, by what might be called a trial and error process life after life, as they attempt to attain to increasingly higher levels in the heavenly hierarchy, that they may ultimately be with Christ the Son of GOD (Jn. 14:1-4); and even with GOD HIMSELF! As the Bible suggests, even the Son of GOD successfully went through such a testing process and suffering (Heb. 5:8-14).
