Sunday Morning

Dec 29, 2024

Something I’ve been considering quite a bit the last few months is the ability we humans all have to doing what we’re told and accepting the way things are. To operate within standard parameters. The standard given us much of the time being a burden to those that desire to live a peaceable and prosperous life. Complete with consequences for noncompliance. We are led to believe we are free beings as citizens of the United States even though the word “citizen” is defined as “owing” allegiance. Implying debt. Debt requires servitude. Debt equals slavery. A citizen is indebted to government. We are indebted to each other… as fellow citizens… for providing the security needed through government to provide the peaceable, prosperous lifestyle we would have.

I suppose it has to be this way, the way this world is under the curse. Man was designed to be dependent… to rely on God. Since Adam decided to believe his wife over what God had told them, mankind has been cut off from God having lost the spirit God had created upon him, and we have since been forced to rely on each other for our security through some form of government organizing. I am by no means an expert on human cultures though out the ages, but I can only think of one time I’m sure in human history when it wasn’t this way. God’s people living together as a nation, distinct in and to the father of a tribe, without the need for a governmental body to dictate the debt the people owe it. This occurred in the early centuries of the Third… or Law… Administration found in scripture. At the establishment of ancient Israel as a nation having claimed the Promised Land. The twelve tribes of Israel lived as free as humans possibly can without political government… their allegiance was to God and to each other likeminded on the written Word of God given them through Moses as the standard for their behavior. Beginning with Joshua leading Israel’s conquest of much of the Promised Land. When a generation would fall for the temptation of idolatry during this time, an outside threat to the Hebrew people would manifest and the Israelites would be taken captive. After enslavement they would remember the God of their fathers and cry to Him for deliverance. God would then raise up a leader from among them… a “judge”. Sometimes someone outside the perceived norms of what leadership should look like… to organize the deliverance of God’s people and get them back on the written Word. As recorded in the Book of Judges, this back and forth of peace and war went on for about 350 years. Until Israel desired a king to be over them. Despite God’s warning through the judge/prophet Samuel of how their lives wouldn’t be free under a king. Samuel’s two sons were corrupt and were the last two judges. Leading to the prophet’s anointing of Saul, the first king of ancient Israel.

Why would the believers in the Old Testament turn to a king?… let alone to false gods? If a nation were to truly appreciate the Creator of all that is you would think it would be the Hebrews. To whom… beginning with their father Abraham… and especially through Moses… and Joshua… God had shown Himself to these people generation after generation the love He has for those that believe Him. And the consequences of wrong believing when they would wander away from the protection God provided them through obedience to His Word they had at the time. After many, many generations of experiencing these blessings and consequences, how could the nation of Israel consider it “normal” to have a king over them? To worship heathen gods?

The answer is the same as to why biblical research students would wonder why “Christians” today observe… and even celebrate… pagan traditions as if they were truth. And/or live by legalistic standards as if we’re still in the third administration of the Old Testament. The answer is the same now as it was for then. The answer… of course, is deception. Deception so deep it is considered normal in culture. Normalized by tradition. Potentially becoming philosophy/religion. Man made forms of thinking/worship. Wrong thinking that is considered, accepted and shared with others over generations becomes engrained in culture until it becomes normal to go with the flow. Unquestioned. So much so it is very uncomfortable for one deceived to even consider they’ve been deceived. Until… that is… for most people it seems… the one or ones deceived feel the pain of the consequence(s) of unbelief.

Funny thing the concept, “freedom.” It has its limitations. It’s within the limitations where freedom truly thrives for all involved. Freedom as defined is an illusion. Well.. unless you’re on the top tier of the two tier justice system, where… as we’ve seen… you can get away with lying, murdering and stealing. But most of us aren’t motivated by such greed as the elites. (I would like to point out here, there was never to be an elite class in the USA! And yet… here they are.) Genuine freedom begins with recognizing basic human rights given mankind by nature’s Creator. Genuine freedom requires justice. Justice requires a written standard that protects the rights of all, including those accused of causing injustice. The written standard… the law… requires enforcement. Enforcement produces the consequences… the punishment… of the offender. This serves as a deterrent to others who might be tempted to mistreat others… but most importantly the consequences are what delivers the justice needed for a society to secure freedom. Genuine freedom for all saturates culture when freedom is limited by the written standard agreed upon and enforced. Every individual is then forced to choose between one or the other. The right choice brings liberty (*life), the wrong one brings consequence, (*death.) This is how freedom works in this world. *Just as it does spiritually.

To walk outside of freedom’s restrictions as dictated by law is a conscious decision to reject the law in order to profit one’s self putting their own desire above the rights of others and is a manifestation of a soul suffering from minimal thinking and defunct understanding. This is walking in darkness. It causes one to wander aimlessly… not seeing the ambushes in life (consequences) that are so visible… and avoidable… in the light. It’s a choice. In any and every situation… if you choose to do righteousness… that which is right… according to God’s standard… blessings ensue. If you choose what is not righteousness, consequences will be inbound. Moses laid this out to the Israelites near the end of their wandering around in the wilderness. Not long before Moses’ death. In Moab actually. From where the campaign began which Joshua led in claiming the promised land. Deuteronomy 30, verse 19.

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Verse 20 gives the blessing for choosing life.
*That (* implies purpose) thou (YOU!) mayest love the Lord thy God, and *that thou (YOU!) mayest obey his voice, and *that thou (YOU!) mayest cleave unto him: ^for (^ reason why) he is thy life, and the length of thy days: *that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

This may have been addressed to the Old Testament believers but we can learn from it. It’s that second “that” I would like to highlight here. For those that consider themselves Christian. I don’t believe most Christians… genuinely born again or otherwise… understand the how of “obeying his voice.” Most Christians… let alone the heathen… don’t understand how to tune in to God’s voice. This brings us to the crux of man’s spiritual dilemma. The integrity of God’s Word. Does it really mean what it says? Does it really say what it means?

So much of what people think about Christianity seems contrary to what I see and experience. They don’t understand the gift of holy spirit (if they’ve even heard it’s available) or how it benefits the owner. This is due to churches everywhere for generations being led by wolves in sheep’s clothing teaching tradition for truth. Beginning in earnest I believe in 1907 with the establishment of the Methodist Foundation of Social Services by Dr. Harry F. Ward and financed by John D. Rockefeller. The name changed one year later to the Methodist Federation for Social Action (MFSA). I am led to believe this organization had something to do with the establishment of the National Council of Churches in 1950. Of which gets its power to be over its member churches/denominations similar to the way the United Nations is over the political realm. Power of the people consolidated to a central figure much like a kingship. Much like how the news media was captured by Operation Mockingbird.

Side Note: It was this same Dr. Harry F. Ward who cofounded the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and ran it from 1920 - 1940.

It was around this time… as I understand it… the very early 20th century… that the work of Dr. E.W. Bullinger (1837-1913) towards biblical research was rejected by what was becoming “Big Church.” Specifically the administrational approach. Recognizing that there are specific biblical sections of time with their own particular behavior requirements. Just like there are with Presidential administrations. Same overlying basic laws, somewhat different policies. Example. There is no need for blood sacrifices to atone from sin in our time… the Grace, or Church… the 5th Administration… as we are not under the Law… the 3rd Administration… due what Jesus accomplished with his sacrifice in the Christ, or Gospel… the 4th administration. Which fulfilled the Law. Therefore, the Gospels end the Old Testament. So very much understanding of the scripture is hidden from God’s children when they don’t understand this biblical research principle. And often answers what many might think are contradictions they find in the written record.

→ Important To Understand: There are no contradictions in God’s Word when it is rightly divided. Contradictions lie only in your understanding or in the translation of the text.

I share this here and now in this last Sunday Morning post of 2024 to prepare those involved in The Great Awakening that haven’t been taught how God’s Word interprets itself. Just as we’ve seen a revealing of the eons-old cabal of evil that has been puppeteering the people since the Great Flood, there is yet an Awakening spiritually to be realized amongst those that are members of the Body of Christ. The Eklesia. The Church of which Christ himself is building in this administration. An Awakening to the undiluted truth of what may be found by those that look for it in The Holy Bible. Which has had so much private interpretation abundantly abounding concerning it for so long… the traditions which came based on these errors have in our time been accepted as truth by the blind. Who are leading the blind, too often redirecting intended worship of the Creator into worship to aspects of what He brought forth in His creation. The ultimate goal of all deception. Idolatry.

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single (focused) (Think the straight and narrow path), thy whole body shall be full of light.

But if thine eye be evil (causing evil, such as deception). (Think broad is the way that leads to destruction), thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

- Matthew 6:22-23

→ Important To Know: The words “light” and “dark/darkness” were used as idioms by the ancient Hebrews. Light meaning “enlightenment,” “understanding". “Dark/darkness” meaning “devoid of understanding” or “foolish.” (Now read Genesis 1:3-5 and see a deeper, parallel interpretation.)

For deception to be successful it has to be presented as the genuine. Deception is truth counterfeited. Truth is very profitable. Deception not so much. As I’ve been pointing out to truth seekers for years… the foundation of all truth is the rightly divided Word of God. You have to know the genuine to spot the counterfeit. How good are you at spotting the counterfeit? You might want to become expert at it. Expert at not only separating truth from error… but also separating best from good.

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!

Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

- Isaiah 5:20-21

Maybe this is more for those that truly desire to not only know… but truly desire to live in the righteousness of God’s Grace spoken of in the gospel of Jesus Christ, God’s Promised Seed. For those seeking truth beyond the injustice of this realm. We may not have the freedom to do what-so-ever we please, but we do have the freedom to choose righteousness or evil. The blessings of The Creator or the cursings of the god of this world. As we’ve been seeing, people are so often deceived to choose what is not best for themselves. Or their families. Including in the church. Many times led there by those they trust. Pastors. Preachers. Priests. That will not offer or consider anything contrary to the opinion their denomination… their tradition… their private interpretation… dictates. To hear the voice of God you must first “hear” it by coming to an understanding of His written Word accurately. Then become faithful to it and with it by changing how to think as you learn. Faithfulness over a bit of time can lead the seeker… if yet needed… sooner or later… to the new birth. Which is required to hear God’s voice directly via His gift of holy spirit in the operation of it utilizing the revelation manifestations as laid out in 1 Corinthians 12. Word of knowledge, word of wisdom, and discerning of spirits. It is this gift that guides us to truth while in scriptural study and every day life as it is operated. As Jesus told us it would. Before it was even available. As it is written in John 16:13.

Howbeit when he (it), the *Spirit (* should be lower case, referring to the gift) of truth, *is come (* referring to Pentecost), he (it) will guide you into all truth: for he (it) shall not speak of himself (itself) ; but whatsoever he (it) shall hear (from God), that shall he (it) speak (to your awareness): and he (it) will shew you things to come.

It is available for every child of God to receive comms from God directly. It’s called, “revelation.” But it begins with an accurate knowledge of God’s written Word. To bypass control of the Big Church narrative, we must do as we do to overcome the deception in the many narratives of the world. There should be nothing more precious to you than your own research. I encourage you… almost beg you!… to develop a love for biblical research. You will… at one point or another… be amazed to find at times that what you were told the Bible says actually isn’t what it says. At all! I do endeavor to share much of the biblical research principles I’ve learned that the Cabal almost erased from human consciousness over a hundred years ago when they captured a lot of the Christian churches. As they have done with the media, industry, agriculture, medicine, education and everything else in culture. Everything… save the remnant of disciples with a heartfire for truth that God raises up through the generations.

It is my heartfelt desire for my spiritual brethren to overcome the deception considered doctrine in the mainstream church. It isn’t an easy task I know, but in choosing such an attitude you are in truth choosing life. Commit yourself to studying The Holy Bible. Commit to discipleship. Become a living epistle! Be willing to change when Father shows you where you’re lacking. It can get pretty tough at times, but you will bring a healing, a peace of mind, and a prosperity to yourself individually… and… together we bring it to culture collectively. Righteousness is what our laws and policies should reflect. If there ever was a time to show the world what a Christian nation looks like in our administration it would be now. A nation where its people living the love we are called to express to others would result in a citizenry lacking very little. As the Hebrew people were the Israel of the Old Testament, so are God’s children today the Israel of the Grace Administration… called to be an example of the spiritual kingdom to the carnal kingdom. I see no other country more set to accomplish this in the last two thousand years since Pentecost than the United States of America. IF, IF, IF… enough of us can overcome whatever deceptions may be holding us back individually and we become like-minded as the Body we are called to be on the Word of God as it interprets itself.

I would be thrilled to be proven wrong, but having offered biblical truths to many people from many states of the union for forty years and mostly being ignored, rejected, scorned and/or ridiculed, I honestly don’t see that happening anytime soon. After so much corruption and evil having been exposed in the world the last few years, people are still red pilling concerning the evil that has enslaved us all politically and financially all of our lives. I am thankful to see… and am still seeing… many turning to God as part of their red pilling experience and some are even getting born again. But… for the most part… these newbies…. as are most that consider themselves Christian… are at the mercy of Big Church. Where there isn’t much for accurate answers. Where they’re told to, “take it on faith.” Where the new birth isn’t taught. Where people are denied the knowledge of authority and power that comes with the new birth. Where many are led to idolatry. Where everyone is kept in the Old Testament. Where Christians are programmed to be doormats, not the warriors for truth they are called to be. Where people are kept in the dark. This is spiritual enslavement.

I do what I can do to help. By publishing posts like this… by sharing and/or blessing anyone I can when I’m out in the world… by praying for the brethren all over the Earth faithfully, almost every day. All we’ve got is God, His written Word, His gift of holy spirit in us, and each other in the household of the family faith to overcome the spiritual deception which plays out in the world. And insist on the rule of law with justice first for all our own citizens… and then for all in the world.

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.

To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

- Proverbs 21:2-3

You do realize, don’t’cha?… that, unlike our ancient brethren of the first three centuries… we Christians in the United States… have the law on our side. What power we have if we only knew it! Politically and spiritually!

If I can ever help, feel free to email me. My email address is in each post I make here on the Stack. I ask you to consider pursuing biblical research. Consider discipleship to Jesus Christ. Consider the spiritual growth available in the time you have in this life. That growth will determine the responsibilities you’ll hold after our gathering to Jesus Christ in the clouds. Which closes out this administration. And begins the next one. The Revealing… or Judgment… the 6th administration. Which lasts seven years and may be read about in the last book of the Bible. Which also intros near the end of the book the seventh and final administration. All of God’s people… back to paradise!
