O Holy Night

The virgin birth of Jesus is the glue that gives Christianity its foundation. If there is no virgin birth, all of Christian belief is a lie.

Hold that thought.

God made Man in His Image, and after His Likeness – (Genesis 1:26), but not the image and likeness you see in the mirror. God’s Image is referring to His Nature, and the likeness is referring to His Rule. Man is supposed to be as gods on this planet – (Psalm 82:6): meaning, ruling and operating God’s authority through Man’s own spirit which is housed inside of his physical body, but something happened.

Man, disobeyed God by eating fruit from a tree God banned, thus Man bought sin and death into the world – (Romans 5:12). 

Death as it is known in scripture is a spiritual death, a separation from God who is a Spirit – (John 4:24), and it happened immediately to Adam and Eve – (Genesis 3:8-11). So, Man lost his connection to God, along with God’s Image/Nature, and Likeness/Rule.

Adam is the culprit even though Eve ate of the prohibited fruit first, because God told Adam about that tree, and its fruit – (Genesis 2:17); Eve was not yet created; she didn’t appear until after Adam gave name to everything – (Genesis 2:20-22).

The Image/Nature of God was removed from Adam and replaced with the image/nature of sin because of his choice to disobey God; since then, and to the present, Man is born with the sin nature.

Before I continue, here’s some science:

When a child is conceived, everything about that child is inside the man’s seed. The woman’s egg — we can say, is the soil of which the seed is planted. What makes you a male or female is solely determined by a gene carried by the male called, the chromosome, and the chromosomes in the male has a gene inside of it that’s labeled either X or Y. Only men have this X and Y chromosome, but women only have an X. If the X chromosome enters the egg of a female from the male, the child will be a girl, (X+X). If a Y chromosome enters the egg of a female from a male, the child will be a boy, (X+Y), but also, they’ll both carry the characteristic of the sin nature to either sex.

Jesus was spiritually inserted into the womb without an insemination to the egg. There was no X or Y chromosome from the man, nor the X chromosome from the woman. For this reason, Jesus was without sin inside of Mary’s womb before His birth; so, it’s my opinion using math, with no X or Y chromosomes from the man, the woman’s X chromosome can only remain dormmate, so no natural fertilization is humanly possible. Mary’s pregnancy was outside of natural. With that, let’s get back to Jesus’ birth.

Adam and Eve were without sin, and its nature before the fall. When the sin nature took over ADAM, every child born now has that trait passed on to them — male or female.

Example: You don’t have to teach a child to be selfish or self-centered, you’ve got to teach them not to be; soon the child becomes an adult and that spiritual war within, will still plague them.

When an angel told Mary she was to bear a child without knowing a man – (Luke 1:28-34), the angel told her the Spirit of God will come upon her – (Luke 1:35), and guess what, God’s Spirit does not have the sin nature, Jesus was born without a nature to sin; without selfishness, and without self-centeredness. He was also referred to as the second ADAM – (1st Corinthians 15:45). Jesus’ job was to live life as Adam did before his fall, and being there was no sin before the fall, what God did to cover the shame now upon Adam and Eve was to sacrifice an innocent life — a lamb, to provide a cover, the two from that point on needed for the rest of their physical lives which was to eventually end also – (Romans 6:23).

Jesus’ Virgin birth qualified Him to be characterize as He who is without sin, especially when He challenged the Scribes and Pharisees about the women caught in the act of adultery – (John 8:4-11).

He who knew no sin is also God’s Word; God in the flesh – (John 1:14), and was sacrificed, just like the innocent lamb was sacrificed to cover the shame of Adam and Eve’s Sin. Jesus in the flesh was also acknowledged as God’s perfect lamb – (John 1:36). His sacrifice saved the world – (John 3:16), and the Cross, plus His Resurrection from the dead: also referred to as the finished works of the Cross, is the Gospel; is the Good News, that’ll save Man – (1st Corinthians 15:12-22).

We take time out in early Winter to celebrate the birth of this event, given by God, to mankind. The Savior was born. The time when Man got a second chance. The time when Christianity was established with the Virgin Birth.

O Holy Night, and Come Let Us Adore Him.

Word of note: Spiritual Death is when a person is alive physically, but dead spiritually. Everyone is born spiritually dead; separated from God, and it is not until we surrender our lives to Jesus that spiritually we can be re-connected. IF WE DON’T DO THIS WHILE LIVING AND PASS AWAY, IT’S TOO LATE, AND OUR FATE SEALED; PERMENATLY SEPERATED FROM GOD IN HELL, AND THIS IS NOT GOD’S WILL FOR US. HE DOESN’T WANT NONE TO PARRISH, BUT IT’S OUR CHOICE – (2nd Peter 3:9).

Gaidi’s spiritual PPE

Personal Protection Equipment also known as PPE, I believe today has forever become a way of life because of Covid-19.
Every morning and evening I spend a moment/time with God, to prepare for the day ahead, and thank Him for that day when I prepare for that night’s rest.

Never did I see what I do daily, and nightly — raising my staff and shield of faith; putting on my armor of God – (Ephesians 6:10-18), and – (Romans 13:12-14), is so important, not for just my level of faith, but so much so that I can’t sit on it.

What I’m about to share was given to me by God in prayer time. God told ME to say these things twice a day, and I never miss, no matter what, and I’ve been doing it years. It’s like a personal Psalm – meaning, there’s praise, thankfulness, faith, hope, sorrow from sin, God’s Loyalty, and help; too, I acknowledge blessings, as well as sadness in troubled times. Maybe it’ll be for you also. It goes like this.

Lord I start this day you’ve given me, blessed with Your Grace, and guided by the Holy Spirit; knowing that You’ll never leave me or forsake me, so I boldly say you’re my helper.
That You take care of all my needs according to Your Riches and Glory by Christ Jesus, and You take pleasure in my prosperity, and the angels have to hearken to the voice of Your Word – (Psalms 103:7), and Minister Your Pleasure on to me – (Psalms 103:20), And part of that pleasure is my health.

For I believe and receive as it is written in – (Isaiah 53:5), and – (1st Peter 2:24), that by your stripes I’m Healed.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (Psalms 118:17), that I should live and not die and be a testament to Your Word.
I believe and receive at it is written in – (Psalms 103:3), that You forgave all my  iniquities, and healed all my diseases.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (Psalms 107:20), that You gave me the Word and it healed me, and protects me from all destruction.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (Jeremiah 30:17), that You restored my health, and healed all my wounds.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (Isaiah 54-17), that no weapon formed against me shall profit, and any words spoken of me in judgment Thou shall condemn.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (Luke 10:19), that I’ve been given the authority to tread over scorpions and serpents.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (Genesis 1:26, 27, and 28), that I’ve been given authority over all things in of this world.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (Psalms 91), that You are my El Shaddai, You are my Jehovah-Jireh, You are my healer, my protector, my helper, and provider; You Lord are my God Almighty.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (2nd Corinthians 6:2), that on the day of my salvation You helped me.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (1st John 4:17), that as You are Lord, so am I in this world.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (1st John 4:4), that greater are You Lord who is in me, than he who is in the world.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (1st Corinthians 3:16, and – 2nd Corinthians 6:16), that I am the living temple of God.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (1st Corinthians 6:19), that I’m the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (Romans 8:11), that the same spirit that raised You from the dead Lord, is the exact same spirit that dwells inside of me, and quickens/makes alive, my mortal body the same way.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (Genesis 6:3), that I live my 120 years, with nothing missing and nothing broken; running without stopping, and walking without getting tired, or vice versa.
I believe and receive as it is written in – (Isaiah 3:10), that I will enjoy the fruits of my labor.

So Lord I Thank You for this Rhema I confess every day, this spoken word that’s a testament from You to me, that provides food to my spirit, light to my soul, and medicine and health to my body; providing strength, cause I can do all things through You who strengthens me; providing courage, confidence, and hope; peace, protection, provisions, and patience, and strengthening my belief by faith.
For I believe and receive as it is written in – (Hebrews 13:6), what can a man do to me, and I even add the adversary – the Devil, that You can’t do better and greater with faith Lord, and my faith being in Your Grace, so I boldly say, You’re my helper.

Lord, I believe and receive that my riches are in my house. So no matter where I go, no matter where I be, no matter where I reside, no matter where I live, no matter where I dwell, no matter where I’m at, no matter where I journey, no matter what I journey in, or journey on, my riches will be there, because my riches is the Glory, and that Glory is you Lord. My Lord and Savior Jesus, and the blessed gift of Grace you so freely give – (Hebrews 1:3).

And when I call upon you Lord, and call upon You in Your Name, and believe without doubt, that what I called upon you for I should have, then I shall receive it.
But I must be patient, and not anxious about anything. Walk by faith, and not by sight. keep in the spirit, and call what’s not as if it is. Obey Your Word, Your Voice, and Your Leadership. Don’t doubt and don’t be faint. Trust in You in all things. First, seek You and the Kingdom, be thankful, and all will be well with me, and all is well with me, because I’ve been washed in the Blood of the Lamb, redeem from the curse of the law, and established in the righteousness of God, by faith, through Jesus, and by no means shall anything hurt me.

I’ve been given the power, and the authority to tread over scorpions and serpents, so from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet, no enemy, no weapon formed against me shall profit. no sickness, no disease, no pain, no suffering, no person, no place, or thing; no harmful germs, viruses, or disorders, and no facet of the curse of any kind, because if any facet of the curse tries to enter my body, I command you body to kill them immediately, by the power of God in Jesus’ Name, and if any of the curses lies or demons are attacking my body, I bind, rebuke, renounce, and cast those lies and demons out of my body, and command them to leave my body at once, in your blessed Name, and I command you — body, to restore back to perfect health, that which was under attack, with nothing missing, and nothing broken, by the power of God in Jesus’ Name.
For I believe and receive that all things are possible through You my Lord for those who believe, and I believe. I believe it’s so, because of Grace, my faith in Your Grace, and because You love me.

Lord, and I thank you Lord for getting me over all the strongholds, and shortcomings, and shortfalls, that come my way that are contradictions to Your Word; that come my way  because of, temptation, eagerness, anxiousness, impulsiveness; self-centeredness self-righteousness self-pity, and pride; misunderstanding, non-understanding, disbelief, and disobedience, and any and all things Lord that’s a contradiction to Your Word, that tries to have me rely on my own self effort, turning away from faith, rather than trusting, resting, and believing in You.
But I believe and receive as it is written in – (2nd Corinthians 12:9), that Your Grace is sufficient, and my faith in Your Grace Lord is all I need, and it will get me over all the strongholds. shortcomings, and shortfalls that come my way that’s a contradiction to Your Word; even procrastination, and excuses.
So Lord I Thank You for Your Grace, and the un-merited favor that comes with it, as I receive it each and every day, and each and every moment, as a precious gift from You, in Jesus’ Name, amen.

This is my daily confession, and as I said, a personal Psalm. But today, because of the Virus, I never thought it to be, a spiritual PPE.

Warning: Fear Halloween. An encore re-write

Not so long ago I had a bad experience with Halloween. No one did anything to me, I did this to myself.

Word of note: I’m sceptic to share this because it makes me uncomfortable but my spirit says do it anyway — share this experience! This is the third computer I’m trying to write this story on because the others decided not to work correctly; having peculiar glitches, even this one, and that’s weird, so I’m more determined now than ever.

I wasn’t long being born-again/saved, so the command to renew my mind –(Romans 12:2), wasn’t strong, that important, or understood. I was full of worldly residue, as the Halloween tradition was approaching.

In the secular world on occasions for this tradition, I played Dracula. I played Dracula for years and won much acclaim. but now I’m saved, and a pre-school ask me — who knew I played this character, would I play Dracula, and pass out candy to the student body. I let them know I’d get back with them in time should I decline. I saw this as innocent, but I did take this request to my quiet spot – the place where I sit still to be with the Lord – (Psalms 46:10), which is the verse on my cover page picture on Facebook, and my prayer was to play Dracula one more time for the children.

God granted my request — but.

While in my quiet spot things began to happen. Vividly, my conscious mind had me standing behind some kind of railroad train on a track. I couldn’t shake this vision. No matter which direction I turned my head, I was there on this track with the end of the train in front of me when it moved, gradually pulling off; little by little moving away from me. I was motionless.

As the distance between me and the train got greater, something else was underway, and it was happening inside of my body.

The train was moving further away from me, and my spirit began to change. It felt as if from the top of my head I was being drained, and solitude was replacing the space. I was being emptied.

As the train moved on, fright settled upon me, and the solitude felt greater — not a loneliness, but solitude. I felt as if I was water inside of a vessel and the water was draining out, and as the water drained, my enter being seemed to drain with it. I was getting emptier, and emptier. Solitude, fright, and now emptiness gripped me, trying to consume me. What was going on?

I could see my surroundings, and the train — but everything now gave me the impression that it was leaving, everything; not only the train. I felt chilled, then fear, then loneliness weighing me down. I was alone — becoming a shell, as my vary being was draining; progressively turning into nothingness. All of what I thought I was, bit by bit was being emptied/stripped. I felt years being erased the further this train distant itself from me. What was happening? What’s going on? This can’t be!

I quickly got hold of myself and realized — I was on my way to Hell. The train wasn’t going anywhere — I was, I was fading/deteriorating. I had rejected God for the pleasure of impersonating a demon regardless how innocent it appeared on the surface. All that God is about was being taken from me. I didn’t realize God is the why there’s a me. Everything was being removed. The little bit of me that was left — I quickly understood, there can’t be a me without Him.

God was giving me over: He loves me so much, He granted my request to go to Hell, but not with Him, but alone as it will be come judgement for those who rejected Jesus, as I was with my request.

The train was barely in sight when I screamed, STOP!!! I’M SORRY, I DIDN’T KNOW. FORGIVE ME. DON’T LEAVE ME. I DON’T WANT WHAT I’VE ASKED. I’LL CALL THE SCHOOL.

Instantly the train vanished, and it appeared that I had a revived hold of my surroundings, but was still empty; in total nothingness, moments from collapsing into a pile of what was once me. Little by little the loneliness went away followed by the fear….I stayed indoors.

Later that day the solitude went away, but the fright and the emptiness remained. I was terrified. I meditated about this event and its experience. I made up my mind, I was not leaving the house, but I did call the school.

The fright and emptiness took the longest, and after three days it was gone, but I still felt wounded; out of touch, and out of step. Everything about me had been affected.

Everything that has life; that we know as life, has God, and is God’s; for without Him there’s nothing, and I literally mean N-O-T-H-I-N-G. We are, because He is — believe it or not, existence exist because He is – believe it or not. I kept racing this through my mind along with the understanding — this life, and all that pertains to it thing, is no joke.

Glory be to God.

Gaidi

Word of note: Don’t play with the occult. It’s not innocent, but dangerous. The unsaved can’t know. Some that are saved are ignorant to it, because they haven’t renewed their minds and are just like I was, thinking it’s only fluff… BEWARE!

Those that are called, will know better, and have a story. I’ve been called, and didn’t know it, but I do now, and this is my story.

Gaidi

Heavenly Father in Jesus’ Name, thank You for the courage not to sit on what you’ve instructed me — popular or not, and for the Grace of Your instruction, amen.

Who is God?

I must have a lot of nerve for this one.

We can’t get around the fact that God is popular. I say popular to mean — when people find it compelling to talk about you, good or bad; so, as I said, God is popular, but who is He, and what is He to you.

We all have an opinion about God — right or wrong, but you can’t know who God is looking from the outside peeking in. Let me simplify: Do I know you? No! Would I be right to form an opinion of you, and not know you? No again. And it should be the same when speaking of God. Here’s another point. Are you a licensed Electrician? If yes, do I have a right to debate you about things electrical if I’m not? No! Let me give you this, I’m a man, and I have no right to debate a woman/mother about childbirth; I’ll be wrong before I start. So, “Who is God”? There’s no way for you, nor I to know who God is unless we’re a child of God; not to be linked with a youngster’s understanding as knowing of Him or not, but to know as having an intimate association with Him, because only then can you Know the Father. When you finally know God, all the pieces about Him will line up; the differences between fact and fiction will magnify like night and day, but until then, you’re as a man trying to debate a woman about childbirth.

When you know God, He’ll reach you on your level of understanding and comprehension; plus, as you grow, you’ll be handled differently, the same way you should do a child as he or she is growing up. Don’t believe this — then you don’t know God. You don’t treat a child as a baby when they’re young adults, and you don’t treat them like young adults, when they’re mature, and grown.

A mother will know when HER baby is crying — or not, even if her child is in a room full of other crying babies; she’ll recognize hers, and answer its cry. When the infant hears its Mother’s voice, it’ll begin to settle, but no way could the infant pick her out of a crowd, and they’d know her when handled; but it’s different for a baby who’s grown from that stage, and KNOWS her, who she is, and what is she to them.

When we know God, He hears our cries the same way, and will answer the call. He’ll never leave us or forsake us – (Hebrews 13:5). This means you can speak to Him; He’ll hear, and speak back, plus YOU WILL HEAR HIM, just as an infant hears their mother voice; you’ll know, and it will settle you. I know for non-believers this sounds crazy.

All the Promises of God are yes through Jesus before we even ask – (2nd Corinthians 1:20); but wait a minute, don’t think for one second you can know God without Jesus. Jesus is His earthly Name, but WORD is His Heavenly Name, and you can’t know God without knowing His Word – (John 1:1-4).

God makes the impossible possible – (Mark 9:23), and to assure we’re number one, the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead resides inside of us believers – (Romans 8:11), and (1st Corinthians 6:19). Let me say again, this stuff is foolish if you don’t know God – (1st Corinthians 2:14).

So, “Who is God”? You can’t know truthfully until you’ve walked through the door – (Matthew 7:7). Oh; you asked where’s the door? Calvary’s Hill; receiving the finished works from the happenings that accrued there.

Gaidi

Word of note: It may not appear that the crying baby is settling if it’s still crying when Mama comes, but it is. All that’s happened was — they’ve just moved from one emotion to another in a split second; so now they’re equally upset about something else, but their only way of expressing need is to cry. Eventually, Mother will know the differences in cries, because she’ll read the babies Heart, and act accordingly, but baby doesn’t know this, because all they know is — crying worked in the past, and guess what, God knows our Heart better than Mama.

Influence

Think you have original thoughts, think again.

Man is not capable of original thought, but he is capable of forming concepts. Your thoughts are the eyes that peer into what’s not seen, but completely visible, and understood by you, right or wrong. Share that thought, and watch It be mis-understood until you can illustrate the vision to another so they’ll see it as you. It’s called, speaking about what’s not, as if it is – (Hebrews 11:3), true or not.
So, what’s truth: Truth can’t be changed, if it can, it was never true.

There is a way that seems right/true to a man, but in the end is the way of death – (Proverbs 4:12).
Man’s sinful nature flaws his thoughts, confusing right and wrong; what’s true or not, giving fact to there being an authority, a power, over Good and Evil, and the knowledge, accompanied with thought, about them; influencing – (Genesis 2:17).

Adam named all the livestock, the birds, and every beast of the field – (Genesis 2:20), when he had original thought, but he forfeited that trait when he lost trust with God after eating from the tree that gave him thoughts of Good and Evil; killing his originality, and God’s Will and Purpose for his creation.
Since then, Man’s thoughts are not his, they’re what’s influencing him – (Ephesians 6:12), and the Maker, he plants his seed of “Influence” into the Man, then the Man forms a concept/principal to achieve the results of what he now believes, or visions, right or wrong, saved or not, and too often, absent of God, but definitely not original.

My Friend {Graphic Illustration}

There are not many moments out of my day that I don’t think about My Friend. I talk about him a lot, and I don’t believe I’m alone too say, we all talk a great deal about people we love.

I’ll talk about some of anything, and in the conversation somehow drift into voicing something interesting about My Friend; that’s how much of an influence he’s made on me, and it puzzles me how so few relate; that’s amazing. So, what about you? Let me share.

First let me say this so you can get a picture. There wasn’t anything unusual, or special about My Friend’s appearance that he’d stand out in a crowd. As a matter of fact, if you looked at him, honestly, he wasn’t an eye catcher. I’d have to say though, what he lacked in looks, he had in smarts. My Friend may have seemed shy, even withdrawn, but I will say this, My Friend knew something about everything. I don’t know where he was learning it, but it surely  wasn’t from us, or from our surroundings, but me, and a lot of others folks, enjoyed what he was saying when we’d listen. He did not waste words.

When we were out and about and engaged in casual conversation, we never really included My Friend. So many times, it seemed as if he was never there, and we were just talking over him; he’d soon just walk away and be by himself. Man, I’d get so angry with people who prejudged him.  When they did address him, their expression looked like it pained them, and they’d talk down to him, or worse yet, just passed over him as if he didn’t exist. I know this had to hurt My Friend’s feelings, because it hurt ours.
People can be so cruel. For some reason we’re so quick to judge a book by its cover.
People treated him as a joke; they even questioned me; regardless, I knew My Friend suffered. People didn’t care if they hurt his feelings or not; they could care less of his pain. At times I just felt like shouting, LEAVE HIM ALONE, but he’d lead me to believe, he’s alright.

Folks were so rude to him, and what for. He’d tried to fit in to a point, but they’d turn and walk away as if he was invisible, and if it weren’t that, they’d yell and scream at him.
Too, it seemed as if he was aging before his time; everybody could see it, but they’d just say, he must be doing something wrong that we don’t know about. but little did they know, is what I know today.

Those looks of pain and grief on My Friend’s face, we’re actually mine. The disfigurement we thought was because maybe he was doing something wrong, was all the things wrong with us. We were so naïve believing God was punishing him because of something he did, No, it was what we did he was carrying that was doing that to him; today I know, My Friend was suffering for me instead. Everything wrong with me and our group, he was feeling, and it was tearing him apart, but I felt nothing.

And if this don’t beat all, My Friend was arrested one day and charged with crimes he never committed; why? Was it because he was easy, or the runt of the group, or was he selected, and falsely convicted because he had few friends, and little defense.
When they removed him from the courtroom, into the courtyard, they bullied and beat him while he was defenseless? He was so bruised; then they scourged him mercilessly with some type of razor-sharp whip called a cat of nine tails, some of their blows so forceful and brutal, they were exposing bone until he was unrecognizable as even being human, as his flesh and blood was ripped from him and scattered all over the courtyard, but through all that, he never tried to defend himself.

It should have been me; what was My Friend doing? And if this wasn’t bad enough, they tortured him. they even grabbed his beard with their fists and ripped it from his face, how painfully agonizing that must have been on top of everything else. … Enough already.
No, it wasn’t enough. They practically dragged him to a place to publicly kill him, and on a top of a hill, they stripped him naked to shame him, and nailed him to a cross, then they erected it for all to see him die slowly of the most inhumane execution known to man.
Why did this happen to him, nobody knew at the time because he never hurt any anyone. And his Mother, she did nothing, because only she knew and understood the reason. This was the worst day of my life.

Three days later as I was still grief stricken, and horrified by what I’d witnessed, and in one of my moments, I kind of glanced up teary eyed, and there was My Friend, Alive. I fell to my knees crying, JESUS, JESUS, JESUS, but all He said was, come on; look at Me. He let me know it was God’s plan all along for Him to suffer the way He did, but not just for me and our group, but for the world, and all of mankind once and forevermore.

He reminded me of what He told me, that He was sent by His Father – God, to offer Himself as a Living Sacrifice because He was the only one qualified to do it, He said, He wasn’t murdered, and now through Him I was cleansed and forgiven of my sins, and will live again just as He when I die, and that where He is, so will I be, (John 14:3), if that’s what I want. He also said, He will not force it on me. He stressed He was telling the truth, and it’s His Promise to me and all who’d receive Him and what He has done, remember His final meal, and eat of His body, and drink of His blood in remembrance of Him; repent, be healed, follow Him, and be His Disciple.

What a friend I have in Jesus, My Friend.

Word of note: This illustration was taken from, (Isaiah 53).
The capitals missing in the first part of the text referring to My Friend were for affect.
The narrative of the story was not from a Disciple, or Isaiah; but for effect, a believer who was an acquaintance with the group.

(Luke 22:63): They mocked and beat Jesus.

(Matthew 27:30): They struck Jesus with a staff repeatedly on His head and spat on Him.

(Mark 14:65): They blindfolded Jesus slapping and hitting Him in the face with tier fist.

(Isaiah 50:6): They ripped off Jesus’ beard.

(Isaiah 52:14): Jesus was so marred; He did not resemble a human.

Just leave it behind

Have you ever misplaced your favorite hat, or your favorite purse, or your favorite shoes, or your favorite pen, the remote control, and please — let’s not mention your cell phone?
Even though those things are small, once missing, you realize what a big part they play in your life. Let’s raise the bar.

Do you have dreams and visions that remain just that, dreams and visions? Sure you do; why, it’s because those dreams and visions don’t play a big role in your life; you’re comfortable. You’re comfortable in your favorite hat, purse, shoes, surroundings, and lifestyle believe it or not, but you’re still dreaming; still wishing; still hoping.
Did you know it’s been said, people doing the same old things looking for change/different results, are considered insane, [ Albert Einstein ].

The majority of us don’t want to leave what we’re doing if it requires a certain amount of change. It’s difficult to leave a sure thing behind in search of the un-sure — says you. We’re too accustom, too comfortable, and too quick to accept the worst, or mediocre, rather than being un-comfortable to realize the better, and perhaps best.

The Hebrews who left Egypt for the Promised Land had this mindset. They blamed Moses for taking them into the Wilderness to die. They murmured things weren’t so bad back in Egypt being slaves – (Exodus 16:3), and – (Numbers 11:10).
So, what about you? Are you content being an Egyptian slave too; murmuring with excuse after excuse why you can’t change? Why you can’t leave behind what you’re doing, and YOU KNOW God’s calling.

God punished that group of Hebrews because they kept visioning back, instead of forward, regardless of all the miracles God preformed for them while they were in the wilderness; their punishment, an eleven day journey took forty years – (Deuteronomy 1:2,3), and all above the age of 20 died before entering the Promise Land – (Numbers 14:29). They couldn’t leave Egypt behind.
Angles of God literally gathered Lot, his wife, and two daughters by the hand, telling them, to get out of Sodom and Gomorrah Now! and don’t look back – (Genesis 19:15-17); but Lot’s wife couldn’t do it. She looked back and turned into a pillar of salt – (Genesis 19:26). Her heart, and her vision, were not about moving forward, because she was comfortable in Sodom and Gomorrah. She didn’t want to face change. She didn’t want to leave what she was so acquainted/familiar behind, and she perished.
Imagine — Angles of God literally have you by the hand saying, let’s go. It’s time to get out of here, we’re not playing, but inside your heart you’re reluctant, unwilling, and hesitant. What more do you need?

God gives us dreams and visions to pursue; not shelve. We’ve got to be willing to leave some things behind when called, and forget about that hat, forget about those shoes, forget about your comfortable way of life, get rid of the I can take it or leave it attitude about your life’s future.
Shoot for the Moon because if you miss, you’ll land among the Stars.
Only skim comfort off the top of progress.

With new visions come new comforts, but don’t get comfortable so that you can’t leave things behind when God calls – (Mark 16:15), (Jeremiah 29:11), and – (Luke 9:2-6).
How do you know when God is calling? When you’re losing hope/sinking; depressed, about to turn into a pillar of salt, because you’re looking back, accepting and re-living yesterdays, instead of leaving it behind; content and fulfilled with self-pity; false purpose, and satisfied to limit God. … Ouch!

Calling All Saints

Listen up Saints, this is what’s going on inside your members these days.
God has revealed things which are about to escalate for you. You’re feeling for some reason  an unsteadiness of never before felt motion in your aura/vibe, your senses. You feel a need to pursue, but you’re hesitant/not sure; plus, you know for certain the people around you will be affected by your actions if you take steps. It’s not if you act, it’s, you’ve got to.
You want the people close to you too understand; to recognize something’s going on and to join you, but you’re wondering if they’re ready for what you’ve got to say, so day after day you compound the uneasiness — this kind of edgy mood that’s bubbling inside of you.

Your persistent patience of the daily secular routine starts to nerve you, and you feel the need for God to speak to you like He’s never have before. You want to know the Word better because the answer to these sensations are directing you there, and they’re so strong you need a crash course. You see yourself wanting to do, but you don’t – (Romans 7:15-24). It wasn’t like this yesterday — so what is it?

Saints, what you’re feeling is the same intuitive sense that’s inside the birds who fly south for the winter, it’s spiritual. Our spiritual clock has told us what time it is, and sense it’s built in, we’re feeling it. Our spirit is telling us it’s time. It’s a God thing.
Your purpose; your appointed time has come. What it is, what needs to escalate, and what’s needed to pursue it, must be revealed, and it’s required of you to act, or you’ll be off balance until you do; feeling troubled, having concern – (Habakkuk 2:2,3), and you don’t want to try too adjust.  You want to seek out these premonitions because the feelings are a call — not disturbing, but you need to answer it; not ignore it.

There’s a crash course for God’s Word waiting inside of you, and it’s driving you to seek a rise in your level of communication with God, which is much needed about now. That rise in communication will strengthen your faith. Stronger faith will enable you receive a higher level of Revelation which is reserved just for you, not others, because the Revelation you’re in quest of is about your escalation, and your pursuit of something that must manifest now.
This whatever, is pushing YOU to what you’ve only been chosen to do – (Joel 2:28,29). Why?
If you’ve understood so far, it’s because you’re experiencing these things, and you already know.

The innate spirit of God inside of you has let you know it’s here, and it’s time to fly. you have no choice; you must fly or be irrational with God. You have work to do, and it can’t wait anymore.
Your 2020 theme and beyond is, Pursue. Pursue what’s escalating inside of your members Saints, and fear not, all Saints have been called.

That Tree

What is the significance of the tree known in the Garden of Eden, as the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”? The title, and character of – “That Tree” holds a mystery in itself.

Man/Adam and Eve, lived in a different realm inside the Garden of Eden, but released another realm after eating from – “That Tree”.

Evil was not roaming the Garden; in fact, Lucifer was in the Garden, but was not known as Satan for a time. He was known as “the Light Bearer/Morning Star of Heaven, according to the meaning of his name, and was given charge of Heavenly worship and praise to God in Heaven, and the Garden – (Ezekiel 28:13-15), and – (Isaiah 14:12). Evil, who is Satan hadn’t surfaced, he wasn’t always there in the capacity we know most about him, and – “That Tree” didn’t have — that name.

God created everything, and said it was Very Good – (Genesis 1:31); completing the sixth day. So, the question is, when did evil find its way into the Garden, and inside – “That Tree”, given its name, because it was bypassed, never mentioned at the end of the sixth day when God looked upon ALL He made and say it was Very good; but something happened for God to say to Adam, eat of everything in the Garden but not from – “That Tree”. When did God tell that to Adam? Was it as soon as Adam was created? I believe not. I believe there’s a gap – (Genesis 2:7-9), and sometime between that gap, I believe Lucifer was cast down onto the Earth becoming Satan, and bound in –“That Tree”; somewhere between – (Genesis 2:7)-(Genesis 2:8), and – (Genesis 2:9).

“That Tree”, evidently housed something in its fruit, and notably, because of its name which defined it, for some reason, not very good; obviously different, as so, Adam was advised with a command to stay clear, and certainly don’t eat thereof – (Genesis 2:15-17). What happened!!! What happened between – (Genesis 1:31) and – (Genesis 2:17)?

It’s my belief, the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil” somehow became an entity within itself, and grew into an existence, a realm which became present in the Garden, and in contrast, harnessed a captured, and defeated foe of God seething inside its core, and all around it; existing parallel with the spiritual realm which Adam and Eve were living, and unknown to them – “That Tree”, was a prison, housing the likes of the fallen angle now known as Satan, that was responsible for its enchantment.

Is this the place Satan ended up after his bout with God – (Luke 10:18) – (Revelation 12:7-9), and – (Ezekiel 28:17); entrapped, locked up, suspended inside an evil black hole tucked inside Eternity’s existence, helpless, unable to escape unless released; which only Adam’s disobedience could make happen – (Genesis 2:17)?
Satan, feasibly could branch no further than – “That Tree”; he had no access of roaming the Garden as he did as Lucifer.

Was – “That Tree”, a test for Adam and Eve’s faith in God, because God did not force the two to love Him, but now there’s a choice since it’s a Satan in the Garden with the pair.
And even though God made them both male and female in His image and likeness, plus gave Man dominion over everything – (Genesis 1:26-28)? What was it about – “That Tree”?

“That Tree”, evidently had invisible Gates that locked up Satan, and to eat of it unlock the gates that are similar to the foundation holding the earth in place.
Evil was cast down onto Earth into – “That Tree”. Sin would be the disobedience eating of its fruit, as we all know now, and it loosed Satan. Its lure was so tempting to Eve; but hers and Adam’s boldness, and their punishment for eating of its fruit, introduced sin and death into the world – (Genesis 2:17).

This death was not an immediate physical death, but an instantaneous spiritual one. The Spiritual Realm was no longer Man’s dominant existence. Man separated himself from God for the allegiance of Satan, thus began the secular/physical realm of existence we know today that God is soon to terminate.

The curses God pronounced onto Adam and Eve was an explanation of what they’d released which was bottled up inside – “That Tree”, the knowledge of evil/Satan, but also the acknowledgement/knowledge of good; which was the announcement of Jesus with the fix; Jesus, the seed of Mary – (Genesis 3:15).
All that, and – That Tree’s curse being released at the same time. hence, That Tree’s title — the knowledge of good/Jesus, and the knowledge of evil/Satan.

I don’t believe Adam, Eve, and Satan happened to meet up at –”That Tree”. I believe Satan was already in it, and – “That Tree”, had some kind of eerie attraction to it that intrigued Eve, that appeared harmless.

So, what is the significance of the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil,” – “That Tree”? It contained the way life is today — broken, and a reverse of what it was supposed to be.
Our world today is a mutation of – “That Tree”; the evil from it — Satan, and the good from it — Jesus. Everything of this world including us are the fruit of –”That Tree” … Oh! but Jesus.

Word of note: Is this subject controversial? Yes. Does it strike down what’s being taught? Yes. But for me it’s more believable then saying sin was in Heaven before Man introduced it, confusing the Church with something counter.
Evil is in the heart, but sin is disobedience to the law – (1st John 3:4).
Scripture tells us that sin was brought into the world by one man – (Romans 5:12). That world at the time was the spiritual realm, but the antidote for sin also is from of one man – (Romans 5:17), the world since the fall, the world we live — the physical realm.

I’m going to believe what is written and why – “That Tree”, had — that name, and what – “That Tree”, I believe caught, because Earth was Very good, not partially good – (Genesis 1:31).
God could not have looked over all He created and say it was Very good if – “That Tree”, with — that title, existed after day six. As for me, God would be riddling me, and that He just will not do; no, and will never do, because what would He profit.
God did not create the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”, it happened.
“That Tree”, had a problem. Don’t eat of its fruit God warned, it’s not your concern, and it will kill you. So, don’t worry about it. That should have been enough said, but who is God to say, says Adam and Eve? And that my friends is the same mindset within the lost today.
