Babylon has personal pronouns like she, hers and thee. Jerusalem has personal pronouns she, hers and thee. Cities have personal pronouns of she, her and thee. The Dragon, the beast, the false prophet all have personal pronouns. Wisdom is called a she Pr.1:20. A tree is called he and him. Pastures and valleys are called they, Ps.65:13. Heavens and skies are called they, Ps.19:1-2. The flood is called they, Ps.93:3. Love is called a her, 1 Cor.13:5. The mouth is spoken of as it is an entity from the person, Pr.18:6; Ps.73:9. The tongue also is spoken of as an entity in James 3:5-9. And Satan is called a he, his, him, whom, thee, thy, thine, thou all through scripture. Satan is called by many names. The Dragon, the devil, the serpent, throughout scripture and so are we. Christ called Peter Satan in Matthew 16:23. People were said to have devils Mt.9:32. People are called adders, cockatres, and serpents, Ps.140:3; Is.14:29; 59:5. Doctrines, or things taught by people are called cockatrices eggs and adders. Lucifer is called “son of the morning” in Isaiah 14:12, where it is said to be talking to the king of Babylon. In 2Co 11:14 it says,
“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”
An angel is a message and angels are messages, G32. In Hebrews it says that angels are ministering spirits sent forth to those who will be heirs of salvation as a flame of fire.
Heb 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
So do literal angels appear to us as literal flames of fire? No. Fire is the word of God in truth that burns up lies within me. Words are spirits, messages of truth or lies.
Joh 6:63 “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, andtheyare life.”
The heart of man is not literally his heart but a parable of the core of his desire. It is in the mind, the intellect, where we devise things. It is in the core of the mind, our heavens, is where our earth is controlled. Our heart is just an organ, it cannot think or devise anything. Thoughts are ideas, plans, lights that enlighten us about any subject. Thoughts are our stars, our moon that we think give us light about life.
Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Mat 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Mat 15:20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
This is the meaning of the word “heart”;
“G2588- Prolonged from a primary κάρ kar (Latin cor, “heart”); the heart, that is, (figuratively) the thoughts or feelings (mind); also (by analogy) the middle: – (+ broken-) heart (-ed).”
Human reasoning calls the core of what we are our “unconscious mind” meaning we don’t even realize it’s there. Scripture teaches us that because we were created beasts, the core of what we are is always concerned with our own preservation and lusts. Our thoughts are not about God as our provider but ourselves as our own providers and the source of our pleasure. We think that what we have is because we worked for it or some other reason, but not that it is, was and always will be God Who provides for us in whatever state we are in. If I work as a mechanic or a doctor it doesn’t matter because God has made me to be where I am, doing what I am doing, giving me the ability to do whatever job I’m doing. I have no ability of my own separate from The Creator. All that I am, was or will be is by the hand of my Creator and I am not Him. This is where Satan steps into the picture. The serpent was said to be more subtil than any of the other beasts in the field of God’s creation.
Gen 3:1 “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made…”
According to Christ, the field is the world, ” The field is the world” and in Jeremiah it says that we are the earth, “O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.” The word “earth” in Jeremiah 22:29 is also translated “world”. So, we have a world within us that we are living in. Each Elect is operating within his own world. Within that world are many doctrines we have learned throughout our world’s creation. These are the wheat and tares. When wheat seeds, truths are dropped into us they germinate through a process of stages of death. Wayside stage, stony ground stage, thorny stage and then good ground stage, Matthew 13. The first stage is where our own satanic nature quickly steals it away because we can’t understand it, at that period of time. “When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.” We, the Elect, are born into this world with Christ’s seed in us. Before the foundation of our world we were chosen to be the Elect because we were promised to Christ.
Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Joh 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
The serpent nature that is created in our mind, was created there as an opponent of truth. The reason for this opposition is for us to learn between good and evil – between Christ in us and the beast in us. Between the Shepherd’s voice and the voice of a stranger. How wise good is and how simple evil is. God is in total control of every detail of life. This is wisdom. I need not worry about anything. This is Good. Then you have the doctrine “God gave me a brain” to make freewill choices with and with that brain I must devise and slither through life, from side to side, ekeing out my own self preservation. This is evil. This is Satan. This is simple human/beastly intellect.
Rom 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them (Satanic doctrines, thoughts) which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Rom 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly (beastly nature); and by good words and fair speeches (“you shall be as gods”) deceive the hearts (our mind)of the simple.
Rom 16:19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
Rom 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
There are satanic doctrines that come as a message of light, that say, God indeed has created it all so I am free to do anything I want. This is the height of the beastly nature created in man so man can expend all his energy on fulfilling whatever beastly lust he desires. If it came into my mind, whatever it may be, it must be good because it’s all from God. If I want to lie, cheat and steal, take advantage of people, it must be good and condoned by God because all thoughts come from God. This is calling good, evil and evil, good.
“Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isa 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent(H995-intellect) in their own sight! “
But, it doesn’t have to be so sinister. Any thought that does not give The Creator honor for it, is satanic. I live and move SOLELY because of my Creator. I do nothing that is not a creation of my Creator.
Act 17:22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
Act 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
Act 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Act 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
Act 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Act 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
Act 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Act 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
Act 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Act 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Act 17:32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
If someone is doing evil deeds it is either that they are dead and do not know the truth or they are an Elect and God is crushing them to powder. Satan is not divided against himself. Most try to be good so that they can be seen as good and live. We eat right, exercise, we try to keep good company and so on and so on. Our Satanic nature does not set out to cast demons (false doctrines) out of us because we are not divided against ourselves. We hang on to doctrines that toss us from one place to another because these doctrines keep us alive. Again, we eat right, exercise, go to doctors when we don’t feel good. We go to church or at least hang out with good people all to be seen as good or in control of our lives. We teach our children good ethics, we try to be good to others, etc. etc. all the time being our own god, thinking WE are doing it never knowing it is all a creation of our Creator. We do nothing. We think we are gods but are dead, spiritually.
Joh 5:25 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.
The beast in us has no life other than natural life. It is spiritually dead. No person can hear the words of Christ unless they are an Elect, chosen before the world began. No one actually believes they’re going to die. All believe they’re going to live on in some way after death because the Satanic doctrine has taught us that “ye shall not surely die.” This is the original serpentine doctrine “ye shall not surely die” that has spread throughout all of mankind and has made man believe that he is a god that will never die. He knows he will die physically but believes he will go on in some form or another according to whatever spin they have on that doctrine of “ye shall not surely die.” Not even an atheist really believes his existence ends upon his death. He may not believe in The God, but you can bet he believes in himself. Christ said that He only has life and unless we are in Christ, seeing Him as Creator of every minute, then we are dead. Unless we eat the flesh of Christ, The Tree of Life, we have no life in us.
Joh 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Joh 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Joh 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Joh 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
Joh 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
Joh 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
The Serpent that I was created, which is called The Dragon, Satan, old Serpent, Devil (Rev.12:9) always believes it knows better than Christ. See what Christ was saying to Peter when He called him Satan. Peter was trying to do good, according to his satanic intellect of self-preservation, and convince Christ that He would not die. But read Christ’s response:
Mat 16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
Mat 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
What was Peter doing wrong or thinking wrong? Why would Christ call Peter Satan? Because it was Peter’s intellect, his satanic carnal reasoning that thought it needed to correct Christ and show Him that He was not going to die, just like the serpent in the garden “ye shall not surely die.” The desires of the beast are always trying to live in this life, trying to evade death and convince itself that it will not die. Peter was hoping for Christ to live forever in a fleshly body so He could reign in this world and free the Jews from the Romans. This was Satanic. This is the beast, the serpent, the devil, this is Satan, our beastly nature that is trying to preserve itself at all costs. To die to self is life unto God. Seeing God as The All in all in every minute of every day is Christ-like. Whatever He provides for me at any given moment is what He desires I have. James comes right out and says we are devils by nature.
Jas 4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
Jas 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Jas 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Jas 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Jas 4:5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
Jas 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Jas 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil (Resist pride), and he will flee from you.
Jas 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Jas 4:9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
Jas 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Jas 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Jas 4:12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Look at Jas 4:5 again – the spirit that RESIDES IN US lusts to envy. This spirit of envy that resides in us is the same spirit that ultimately crucified Christ. This spirit envies God and lusts to be God.
Mat 27:18 “For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.” This is Pilate speaking of the Pharisees.
Mat 26:3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
Mat 26:4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
Mat 26:5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
These verses in James plainly say that we, as the Elect, at times, are double minded because the spirit of the devil in us, lusts to envy against God, because we do not have something we want for our flesh. Lust for the flesh, beyond what we have at any given moment is the serpent whispering to us that we know better than God. I want this and if I don’t have it then I will set out and do whatever it takes to get it so I can consume it upon my flesh. Feed it with more for the flesh. We live in a time that everything is at the tip of the fingers. If my flesh desires something I just get on my phone and go to amazon and order it. I’m not saying that this is in itself evil. It works for the world and He benevolently gives them what they desire at every minute.
James said that what was in me was a lust to envy against God and this lust is the devil in me. I have fights and wars within myself because I am constantly warring against the devil in me. I don’t need those outside me to corrupt me. I have enough in me to deal with than to worry about their sin. And that is what religion in me does. It points a finger at everyone else instead of dealing with the devil in me. It points its finger at others because it cannot deal with what it is. James says to cry and weep, to humble ourselves and God will lift us up. Mourn for what is still in me and this is resisting the devil in me. Mourn for the fact I still see the serpent slithering through me, lusting for more than what I have been given at any given moment. If you have read our post on the 144,000 then you understand it is every moment of every day seeing God as Creator of it. Every 1440 minutes of every day loving God with all my heart by seeing everything I have in that minute is from Him and I need nothing more and loving my brother/sister as myself. Adding these two commandments to every 1440 minutes of every 12 hour day is the 144,000 redeemed to God out of my world. The Serpent, in me, whispers about planning out my day, planning for my future. But James says all such devilish thoughts are evil and sin.
Jas 4:13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
Jas 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Jas 4:15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
Jas 4:16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
Jas 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
The Serpent, the Beast, The old Dragon, and Satan in me are all one and the same. Four ways to see myself in the flesh, WHOLLY, foursquare, what we are from one end to the other, always bent on the flesh’s satisfaction. I repeat, only the Elect are given to see themselves for what they are.
Scripture says that God does not tempt me but that I am drawn away by the lust in me and am tempted. The whispers of the serpent that I can be my own god.
Jas 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Jas 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
Jas 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Jas 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Jas 1:16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Jas 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Jas 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
How was the woman tempted in the Garden? By her own lusts. The serpent IN her. Remember the “field” is the world and the world is within me. The world God created within me.
Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Gen 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Satan can be seen in us in various examples in scripture. Satan is in me from creation, but I don’t even know it. It will not expose itself, be divided against itself, because it has a lust to live. The lust to be as God and answer to no one is the beast within me that will lie, cheat and steal to get what it sees as good for food, pleasant to the eyes and make me wise. From youth we’re taught to go after what we want. I was taught that I could have anything I wanted if I just worked hard enough to get it. Others are taught that they can have anything they want, all they have to do is steal it. Either way, they are doctrines from the same serpentine source – do whatever it takes to get what you want. Satan’s kingdom is not divided. We’ve been taught that the one doctrine “work hard” is good and the other doctrine of stealing is evil. But in God’s eyes, for the Elect, both of these doctrines are beastly doctrines that He is freeing us from. In the beastly world, there is a distinction, rightfully so. But we are a peculiar people, called out from the world, who are being created to trust and know God intimately. We rely completely on Christ. We throw away our worldly knowledge of so-called wisdom in how to provide for ourselves. We through away our drive to survive and succeed. We threw it all away like menstruous rags for the free gift of rest in Christ.
Pro 30:18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
Pro 30:19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
Pro 30:20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
In the world, men are like serpents as they slither words across their mouths to get what they want from a woman, slick, slithering words to deceive. Women do the same as they entice the man with what they want and act as though they don’t know what they’re doing is intentional. These are acts in the natural that reflect the spiritual state of the Elect while they are still as yet unconverted and living in the original beastly/carnal state. Our thoughts are constantly fornicating with the world’s thoughts. We don’t yet trust Christ so we are constantly luring and being lured into adulterous affairs of the mind with doctrines that “teach” us how to preserve ourselves and be our own god. They’re adulterous because we are destined to be married to Christ.
But lest the serpent deceive us and we don’t uncover his most “subtil” form, we will expose him in religion. Religion is the form of codes I live by. The serpent’s lies have fooled me and everyone else to see the word religion only as beliefs about God obtained through a church, a mosque, a temple, etc. But religion takes on any form where I have a set of laws or tenants I live by. The atheist, the street gang member, the mountain man who lives out in the woods alone fulfilling an image he has formed in his mind as a god. Everyone, without exception, is in a religion run by their Satan. Every prayer is to the fulfilling of the beast’s lust. It goes no higher than the mind it is in. It does not matter where the Elect come from. They are all one in the same, fighting their Satanic nature that has driven them all over the place trying to be their own god. The Elect must be broken, must die before they can come to see what they are. Christ said it and we don’t hear it until He causes us to hear it. ” Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.”.
The Elect are born with two people in them, like Jacob and Esau in the womb of their mother, two nations that war against each other.
Gen 25:21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Gen 25:22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
Gen 25:23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
Gen 25:24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
Gen 25:25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
Gen 25:26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
Gen 25:27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
Gen 25:28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
The serpent comes out first, red and hairy and is given the title of heir of the throne, like Esau. He is a worldly man, “a man of the field” and his lust for the world is so strong it eventually strips him of his rights as heir. He gives it up for a bowl of food (a parable of his overwhelming drive for self-preservation). Jacob, who is Christ in us, is meek and humble, dwelling in His tent, inside us, not in the world. Jacob had twelve tribes derive from him. If you’ve read the other studies you know 12 means one. 12 hours equals one day, 12 months equals one year, twelve tribes equal one nation, Israel. Esau married outside the family in the form of the descendants of Ishmael. And he had many wives and his children had many wives of the Canaanites. They were worldly people. Esau and his descendants represent the original serpent nature in us to be like the world and to carve out our own identity. When Christ begins to reign in our lives, all we ever worked for, this identity, is shown to be superfical and corrupt according to worldly lust. We then begin our conversion from seeing through the eyes of the serpent, to seeing through the eyes of Christ. The nation of the beast in me sees Christ as a thief, stealing his kingdom, as Jacob did to Esau. Our “Goodman of the house”, The Serpent, sees Christ as stealing what I’ve worked for my whole life.
Mat 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Mat 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
The Serpent in me, my intellect, which has amassed a lifetime of worldly knowledge, sees Christ as a thief, stealing what I have worked so hard to achieve. When Christ begins walking through my life He exposes every little detail as a lie – not just outward overt sins or even secret sins I’ve done, that no one knows about but, He shows me how the smallest things were sin and I didn’t even know it. One that was exposed in me, that the world would see as prudent, were my eating habits – the doctrine of “eating right.” I learned from other serpents in the world that organic was to be better esteemed than regular food, along with grass fed cows and free range chicken eggs, etc etc. Gluten was evil. Wheat was evil. Sugar was evil and on and on and on. I preached my religion to all out there who were taken by the “conglomerates” who had “tained” our food. I could go into great depths regarding this satanic doctrine but so we don’t go off course I’ll stop there. These doctrines that seem to be prudent exist on the basis of self preservation. I wasn’t wrestling against my flesh but against the spiritual wickedness of my heavens, my mind, where Satan had amassed a huge golden calf for me to worship to protect myself, preserve myself because God couldn’t, it was up to me to do it. As one man sternly told me “God gave me a brain!” insinuating that God created a brain in me and left it up to me to figure out what was good and evil for my body. But, as scripture says, we don’t wrestle with our flesh and blood but with the powers and principalities of my heavens, my mind, my Devil.
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord (not myself or my intellect, but The LORD), and in the power of his might. (He is The Power, not me or my intellect)
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Did you see that? Be strong in The Lord, the power of HIS might, which is the armour that allows us to stand against the wiles of our Devil, whose doctrines are in our minds that are based on the worldly knowledge that keeps us from seeing Christ as The Only and Sole power of All things. Our struggle isn’t against our literal flesh but against the mind that controls the flesh. Everyone’s Devil has its own set of rules that tosses them from one place to another. The Devil, the old Serpent, the Dragon and Satan are names in parabolic form that expose what is in us from creation and what is being exposed as trying to be God of its own world. Thankfully God so loved The Elect that He gave His only begotten image for them to believe in. He loves our new man, who is born again into a new WORLD.
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Joh 3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
Joh 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world (born again world), that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Job is a parable of this truth and how God reveals to us what is deep within our hearts. Scripture says that we must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
2Co 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Standing before the judgment seat of Christ is us being shown what is in us. Standing before the judgment seat is everything in me being presented to God, “whether it be good or bad.” Are we worshipping God out of love or still worshipping (trusting) our works to hedge our flesh in from judgment? What is being judged are our fears of anything other than God. Am living in fear or am I trusting in God as my strength?
1Jn 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
1Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
1Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
1Jn 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Christ is teaching us to love God as our Father and fear nothing. The story of Job reveals that Job does not know perfect love. He is in constant fear that any day the judgment of God will take everything he has. God ultimately reveals to Job his bondage of trusting in his own works, rather than in God’s love for him.
Job 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
Job 3:26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
Job is us, we are Job. Satan, who is adversarial to God, is our fear. God is bringing us before the judgment seat and showing us that we have fears in our hearts, things “which we greatly fear.” Scripture tells us that perfect love casts out fear and that fear has torment. Satan is the manifestation of the fear we have, as a beast, that presents itself before God as self-preservation in place of trusting God as my loving God Who only has my best in mind. It is hidden right there under our noses just like good thoughts we have of God, called “sons of God.” The story of Job is our story of how our thoughts are presented before God, good and bad. Good represented as “sons of God” and bad as Satan. Satan represents all the fearful thoughts that are adversarial to the thoughts of God’s love. They are in opposition to the truth. Bad thoughts present God as an austere God who is angry and displeased with everything I do.
Luk 19:20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
Luk 19:21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
Luk 19:22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee,thouwicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Luk 19:23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
Luk 19:24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
Luk 19:25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
Luk 19:26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. (fear gets everything taken from me)
Luk 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
To see God as love is to see God in truth. Satan represents all of our beastly thoughts of fear that God is going to take something from me. He has me hedged in now but who knows what’s around the corner? The story of Job is a parable of what is going on inside our heavens. We see God has blessed us, hedged us in, but we have fear He will somehow snatch everything away. These are thoughts God sees about where we are serving Him out of fear. These all must come up before God and be separated as sheep and goats.
Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
Mat 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Mat 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Mat 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
God points out how good we are doing but in the back of our mind is fear that any day the hammer will drop. These fears always lead to the temptation to worship ourselves and be our own god by taking matters into our own hands and creating our own hedge, which is all a delusion which must ultimately be shattered. So the very thing we fear comes upon us. The end of the story is that after fear has been purged from us, we are blessed with double of what we had before we were cleansed from our fears.
Job 42:1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Job 42:2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
Job 42:10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
What does fear produce? Bondage. Who had the power of fear and of death? The Old Serpent, Satan, The Devil our beast.
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Heb 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Christ resurrecting in us and showing us the true love of The Father destroys the power of the devil along with all the tormenting fear, which produces bondage. He is freeing us from fear and showing us love. Perfect love casts out Satan (fear) because Satan (fear) produces torment. I cannot be free if I am constantly believing God is angry with me and at any minute He might kill me or strike me down with a pestilence. He does chastise us but as a Father does a child, not in senseless lashing out from anger. The fear we have as beasts is that we don’t know why or how but at any moment the hammer is about to fall and God is going to bring some horrible disease upon me. This is the core of the doctrines that push us to judge good and evil for ourselves and “eat right”, exercise, and jump through endless hoops to stay alive. Fear is THE ROOT of the trifecta of pride, lust and envy. If you read Job and see how The sons of God and Satan are presented before God, and you know that this is all in parable form to teach us, then you’ll see that Satan is Job’s fear that God is seeing in him. God allows Job’s fear to overcome him for a period so that God can show Job pure love. The end result is double of what we had before we went into the trial. We are always better off by going through the trial.
Jas 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Jas 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
Jas 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Jas 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
So as we are coming to see, satan is not a literal fallen angel. “He” is not an individual angel or entity floating around outside in the atmosphere creating havoc. He IS the messages that float around us, rather come at us as a flood from all angles – any and all messages of “light” that teach self-preservation. The whole world lies in wickedness (1 Joh 5:19). There is nothing that comes out of the world that doesn’t contain this poison that looks like “light.” These messages appear “wise” and “prudent” and they are…for YOUR BEAST who is afraid of death. Satan is not a monster in a literal hell of flaming fire tormenting people. He IS all of the false light messages (thoughts) inside of us which create our own personal hell of torment through fear of anything. Satan is the personification or parable of the subtil parts of our intellect (our field which is our world.) It is where we lust, envy and fear everything around us. The Elect are being delivered from this beast as his temple is being dismantled one stone at a time.
Mat 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
Mat 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
We see fear as an angel of light, protecting us from danger but, in truth, fear is darkness from the knowledge that God is my protection. I need not fear anything. Satan is called an “angel” of light – a parable for a “message/thought” of light to protect me. Lucifer is described as the “son of the morning” which is a parable describing us as our own light through our own intellect. But in truth it is darkness because there is no light but The Light, Christ. When God delivers us from our hard bondage we take up a proverb against the doctrines we held as “light” when we are delivered from fear as described in Isaiah:
Isa 14:3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
Isa 14:4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon (Lucifer. what we saw as light to our world), and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
Isa 14:5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
Isa 14:6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
Isa 14:7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. (this is being ressurrected.)
Isa 14:8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
Isa 14:9 Hell (the place of the unknown) from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
Isa 14:10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
Isa 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (all of this is envy towards God)
Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Isa 14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Isa 14:17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? (were these the lies I was in bondage to? The fears?)
Isa 14:18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
Isa 14:19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
Isa 14:20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
Isa 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
Isa 14:22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.
Isa 14:23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
God is cleansing us from every fear, every doubt, all pride, and creating a new heaven and new earth that loves God as The One and Only, The All in all things. We get to see what Christ saw, the fall of Satan from our heavens, our minds. Where the thoughts of fear once enlightened us, with a false flash of light, we see Christ as our strength.
Luk 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Each time “Satan” appears before the throne it is a fear in us that needs to be eradicated depicted as a flash of light, a message, that appears as a good protection, but in truth it is a false light keeping me from seeing Christ as my protection. All of these fears turn into a false doctrine that lead us to trust in something other than God as The All in all. Fear imprisons us and does not let us see God as love. God is love and every time the word love is said in the following verses you can replace it with God.
1Co 13:4 Charity (God) suffereth long, and is kind; charity (God) envieth not; charity (God) vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
1Co 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
1Co 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
1Co 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
1Co 13:8 Charity (God) never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
1Co 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. (when God is seen as the All in all)
1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
1Co 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity (God).
I am still being shown the fears that are in me. We all have fears. In the wild, amongst beasts, fear is what keeps them alive. It’s no different in the human animal. In our original nature, we are always on the watch, scared of being eaten (taken advantage of) by something bigger than us. We see that every word and deed is motivated by fear once the cover is blown off our subtil satanic nature. Literal death isn’t the only fear. We fear the death of our pride, our reputation, our identity. Everyone has these fears: fears of family problems, money, health, disease, jobs, social unrest, wars, politicians, leaders, the fear of not being saved from death. Will my family be saved? Will my children be saved? Perfect love casts out fear. God is love and what He does with all of mankind is His business and now that we know, or are coming to know He is love, we can expect that whatever He does will be for our best. When these fears and doubts arise Christ reminds us that it is not for us to know all the details of every life. We are to concentrate on our own life and worship Him with it.
Joh 21:20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
Joh 21:21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
Joh 21:22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, whatis thatto thee? follow thou me.
It’s not my business to worry. Worrying is bondage. I am told to rest in Christ as The One and Only Creator. He is The Light, there aren’t any more flashing lights I need to worry about. Satan has fallen as lightning, is falling and will continue to fall from my heavens in the many false lights I once believed in. My Luciferian thoughts of being God are falling from my heavens. I am not The Light, Christ is The Creator….THAT IS LIGHT!
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
“All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” Knowing this is Life. “In Him was life.” If I know every detail of every day is a creation of Christ then I can rest in Christ as The Author and finisher of it. I need not worry or have fears about any of it, I have entered New Jerusalem, NEW PEACE. New Peace based on the truth that Christ is The Creator, not my flashing lights, my intellect.
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem (Jerusalem means peace), coming down from God out of heaven (coming down from God out of my new heavens), prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.(Lucifer has fallen)
Rev 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Rev 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
The areas that are still fearful and unbelieving, like Job, must be burnt out of me. But praise God because it will only make me twice as strong as I was before I went through it. “The LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.”
