Part 12 In Jesus Christ only A New Nation of Israel

 

at 3am on 5-5-24, the Lord awoke me to say:

In Christ only the temple,
In Christ only, the Holy place.

In Christ the ark of the Covenant.
In Christ come forth the Living Waters.

Christ the heir of all that was promised Abraham, not the usurpers that people admire.
Did Christ Jesus ever endorse killing, war, and bloodshed to achieve property rights?
In Christ only is the New nation of Israel.  In Christ are the fruits of them that love Me.
Christ is the Heir that inherited the Kingdom of God.
His is the kingdom that the builders rejected. <and still do)

All others are of the world, all other shall pass away,
Only His kingdom, His nation, shall be without end.
Then why would you want to be part of another kingdom?
In Christ is your birth, He is your nativity.
In Christ is your citizenship.
In Christ you are enrolled as a citizen of heaven.
In Christ you are the chosen. Be faithful to Him as he was faithful to Me.”

Angels of Light Pollute His Words

 Angels of light Messengers of Darkness 4-27-24

"Angel" means "messenger", they are in scripture to serve the Lord but the fallen angels of darkness serve their master for many purposes such as affliction, deception, and control. These are the words I heard from the Lord in the night watch.

The "angel of Light" comes through many and is found behind pulpits and microphones.
The spirit of antichrist performs unchecked by those I commanded to "prove all". 

My sheep rather than "prove all", they believe all and they trust all.
By this they are deceived.

What is a truth when it has one line which is not true?
What is a little leaven to the whole lump?

Words of leaven and words of truth are not to be mingled.
If one does not put out the leaven, then the Passover is polluted.

"But the setting is so beautiful!", they say, "and the words sound so sweet".

Did I not say "MY WORDS are Spirit and they are life"?
What then are their words when they are the words, opinions, and ideas about MY words
and not what was written for your admonition?
Without discernment my people are made comfortable in deceit and are taken captive.

When I call, they look to man.

A mind clouded by religious church men obscures truth, and truth is veiled,
the veil becomes blindness.

The men and women who usurp my authority use their position for self,
the people are comforted by deceit and content to follow them.

If a man or woman turn to me with their whole heart and a willingness to repent,
then I can lead them and make them as my disciple,
to follow me (i.e. Christ Jesus) in meekness and lowliness,
-yet without fear, and I will speak to each of you and reveal my true nature to you.

My ways are not the ways of the pulpit princes.
Do you know their end?

They will lose all, the accolades and unjust gain will be stripped away, for some by violence.
Do not say in your heart "what happened before will not happen now",

I tell you that My hand and a sword are already upon this life and this world, armies are marshalled and marching, driven by the spirits and  demons,
while the churches are filled with the dead and sleeping.

Is that too strong to hear?

What then when you see it before your eyes as others are right now?
My Will is for all to repent from the depths of your hearts that I may show forth mercy and justice.
The gods of self will and material comfort always lead away from Me.

Are these less deceptive than an idol of stone painted and decorated to represent that which I detest?

How can you know and measure this?
How strong is your attachment and desire for material things and the false security derived from them?

I saw Jesus' Appearance Marred more than any man. -by the church

 

😳WHAT?

Isaiah 52:14 So His appearance was marred more than any man (AMP)

Last night in a dream like I never had before..........

I saw the trial of Jesus and what they did to him before the cross.

They beat His face (and scripture says ripped his beard), and in the dream his face was unrecognizable as a man.

-I did not know how he could remain on his feet but he did.

The demonic hatred for the man was was made in God's image focused on his face.

The spiked crown the stuck into his head..

He staggered as he was led away and the heavy wooden cross they made him carry.

It was sickening to me in the dream.

Yet there was a crowd taking in the spectacle without compassion.

I could never have done or endured what I saw him go through in the dream. And I realized in the dream how he did it for me and you.

Heb 12:2

looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith,

who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. This is a link to short compiled list of of teachings WHEN THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE VERSE OF SCRIPTURE!

Since His resurrection and ascension, the marring of his identity has been continued by those that claim to represent him. Jesus has been mis-represented, distorted, altered, marred, disfigured, changed, and beaten up by the pen, the voices of countless Christians, and the false artwork and images of major religions. 

-Likewise, every week from countless pulpits He is disfigured in the speeches of those claiming to know and represent Him. Later, we will prove the shocking accuracy of that sentence.

Not only has Jesus Christ been altered by the sects of Christianity,
his identity has been marred by words, doctrines, and phrases that none of those that knew him and walked with him ever said or wrote in scripture.  

Let that last phrase sink in. “marred by words, doctrines, and phrases that none of those that knew him and walked with him ever said or wrote in scripture”. The fastest way to truth is by reading what the apostles testified about Jesus and God in the Book of Acts. There are several posts on my site with excerpts and also a complete verse by verse digest of their words about Jesus.

1God: Hebrews 1:8 Does it say "Jesus is God"?

 

 thy throne O God,  is to the age of the age

Hebrews 1:8 Does it make Jesus GOD or does it simply refer to "HIS GOD" speaking to Jesus, God's son?

but of the son,  thy throne O: God,  is to the age of the age;
And the SCEPTRE of rightness is the scepter of his kingdom.
Thou has loved righteousness and hated lawlessness,

(9... THEREFORE GOD, THY GOD has anointed You with oil of gladness above THY FELLOWS.

The Psalmist prophesied that GOD the Father would anoint the man who would be the Messiah (Christ).
The Christ would be a man, and the man prayed to and confessed the Father as the "only true God" -John 17:3

Acts 10:38

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

FINAL.
Here is the prophecy: Psa 45:7 You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore God, your God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

My Holy Spirit Baptism Testimony

 

In 1979 at age 28, I had begun to repent of a worldly sinful life beginning with heartfelt prayer at home, and the Lord was working in changing me from inside my heart and mind; I began repenting of the sins God was convicting me of becoming uncomfortable around my friends who were doing what I had been doing. I will spare you the details..

Following my mother, I surprised everyone who knew me and started attending her Baptist church jumping in, attending three services a week, plus the monthly special prayer meeting. Making friends in the local church community, I also met some young people from the Assembly of God and they spoke about the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. "What is that?" I asked.
When I asked my Baptist pastor about that, he discouraged further interest by dismissing it as “gibberish”. Naturally I believed him and so I parroted the view of our church.

But as the weeks passed I began to have a spiritual crisis partly due to my own weaknesses and temptations. After 5 months I saw the church I attended was becoming dull and routine. Having experienced the power of rock concerts and a zesty worldly lifestyle, the church was rather sleepy and a lot of people sickly. The elderly pastor was clearly tired.

Although Sunday morning was a full house, the Sunday evening and Wednesday night services were sparsely attended, sometimes I was the only one that attended the special prayer night meeting with the pastor.
There was really no evidence of spiritual power or authority in contrast to what I was reading in my Bible. This troubled me, hence the crisis of faith and I was not finding fulfillment as much as i wanted to in that church.  But the people were nice so I persevered.

Then in June 1980 I was working the  Vintage Days event at Fresno State University, there in my sales booth where my business partner and I sold jewelry and craft items. It was a wonderful event outdoors with the CSUF Jazz Band playing in the park, the sound of their music in the background, and a great atmosphere. 

From the crowd a young lady I knew from Los Banos walked up and we began to talk about Christ and the Bible. In the course of our convo I gave my spiel about speaking in tongues as I had recently been told by our pastor. Her name was Linda Savage, and she listened patiently to my negative report then replied in a gentle calm manner, “well Rory, I have the Holy Spirit and I speak in tongues”.

I was stunned. “YOU!?” -I asked with amazement.
Linda said “Yes” and told me of her conversion and receiving the Spirit.
She left a short time later but she had innocently rocked my world and now I was not sure what to believe.  I knew and perceived she had something I did not have.

After the event was over, I was at home and later that week began to pray asking God “What about this Holy Spirit business? If it is real I WANT THAT TOO!” I wanted truth and now two opposite views were before me.
-I was still in the spiritual crisis and looking for answers, but this time I went to God asking Him about the matter wanting truth. This was the first time I ever  prayed a prayer for truth and there would be many more subjects to ask Him about in the years ahead.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.
On July 4^th a friend named Jerry and I were having our cars detailed by a local man named Chris Cornwell. After Chris finished, I had him come to my house to get paid in cash. We talked about the Lord and he happened to attend a local Pentecostal church and noticed I had a ceramic bust of Queen Nefertiti that I had purchased from the King Tut museum display that was touring the US at the time.

Suddenly he pivoted and pointed at the bust of the queen on the mantle shelf and said “THAT IS AN ABOMINATION!”.
I said “REALLY?”, and I grabbed it and smashed it on the concrete outside. 
He left but I found out later Chris had told his pastor about the incident and my zeal.

The next Monday evening there was a knock on the door and a man announced that he was in the neighborhood talking to people about Jesus and wondered if I was interested. “SURE!” I said being one who still loved sharing about Jesus, even in my “crisis”. He wasted no time in showing me the Acts 2:38 “message” of being baptized into the name of Jesus Christ and receiving the Holy “Ghost” as the KJV Pentecostals said. 

By now my personal crisis had also deepened my need and desire for MORE OF JESUS, and even though I had been baptized 7 months prior by my Baptist pastor (who never taught us to be baptized, I had been led on my own to ask),  I said to Steve, “OK, take me to the water!", I just wanted more of Jesus.

So he invited me to a Thursday night baptism and accompanied by several of the church folks, we went to the local Forebay lake 15 minutes away, where I was baptized “in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins”. Acts 2:38. "OK, maybe this will help me in this spiritual crisis" I thought, I was becoming more desperate for some kind of break through, and now I was reading Acts to learn more about that "Holy Ghost" business the Pentecostals were emphasizing.

The Pentecostal church was a tiny “Home Mission” church plant with about 15 people including the children. I was meeting the pastor for dinner socially after that but did not go to his church, and I was still questioning the validity of tongues and the Holy Spirit.
I was still a Baptist.

San Francisco Calling.
In August, a couple of weeks later I left for a month to work with a Street Ministry in San Francisco. It was a welcome relief from my spiritual crisis as every day we had morning prayer and after were passing out Bibles and street witnessing. People from all over the US had come to participate and our group was around 20 Christians and we had a great fellowship while serving the cause for Christ. 

The ministry provided lodging and meals, and we stayed at Simpson Bible College at the south end of San Francisco on the Peninsula. Each day began with prayer and devotion and I met some very nice people.

Near the end of that ministry term, the spiritual crisis began again and I was questioning changing churches and attending the Pentecostal group, going back and forth.
I liked the young pastor of the Pentecostal church, he was my age and we really hit it off well. He was Steve Lamarche and his wife Patty were Spirit filled and wonderful. Like Linda Savage, the people seemed to have a joy I was missing. 

Yet even as a Christian, I was tormented and knew I was missing something.
Steve told me "You need the Holy Ghost." But I thought I had *something* already, but the Bible verses he presented were challenging. I kept praying and asking.

First Encounter.
Mid September came and I was still praying about the Holy Spirit baptism and I recognized my need for more of Jesus. In response to their invitations,  I said I would visit the Pentecostals but the idea of going to visit another church was still a mental barrier to overcome, and I did not know what a Pentecostal church was.

That next Sunday morning as usual, I went to my Baptist church with Mom, but that Sunday evening  went to the small UPC church located in a 1 room office suite. The little congregation only had an accordion and tambourine, and someone may have played on a small organ for the music. 
I had to suppress the desire to chuckle out loud at the primitivity.
There were maybe around 12 people there at most including 3-4 children, sitting on folding metal chairs.

Church service went through the usual format, the tacky music but with heartfelt singing of different songs than we did at the Baptist church, and then the  pastor preached with fiery passion.
Very un-Baptist like.
Nearing the end he made an “altar call” where at the front were some folding chairs to kneel at.
Because I was a saved Baptist, I saw no need to "go forward", but he continued, and a couple of others went up to pray. I resisted and obviously as the only visitor, he was preaching to me.

Then on his third altar call, it was as if a supernatural force grabbed me by the shirt and yanked me out of my chair and drove me to pray on one of the chairs.

It was as if a dam broke, from my innermost being tears gushed, and sobs wracked my body. I don’t even know if I spoke any words, but I wept like never before for around 10 or 15 minutes emptying myself of Lord knows what.

When service ended, they asked me “How did you like the service?” but I was unable to speak.
“I can’t talk” I answered and went home. Yet something powerful had happened that I did not understand, and I realized the crisis of heaviness and oppression had been lifted from me after all those months.

I purposed to return and for the next 2 months of Sundays went to the Baptist service in the morning and the Pentecostal service in the evening. I had to admit the power and dynamic preaching at the latter church was much better and ministered to me. I noticed the women were old-fashioned dressed, and all the men wore suits.
No big deal to me, I just wanted more Jesus. Seeing and hearing the Pentecostals testifying and hearing some speaking in tongues, my desire for the Lord thought nothing of it and now I was really seeking Spirit baptism. 

Along with all that, I was reading my Bible to understand the new birth better and working to overcome my now fading, Baptist indoctrination as I transitioned into the Pentecostal faith.  

Late September.
Leaving the Baptist church, I jumped into my new Pentecostal group and there was a “Revival” with a young man Chris Jones, from Louisiana. Because church was so small, and my relationship with the people growing fast, Chris and I spent some time together with him, his wife, and their baby son, Jordan.
On a Friday night, our church was having a service with an associate church in Madera, CA, and we all rode together in the church bus which Chris drove.

I was seeking the Holy Ghost baptism and at that service, an evangelist named Nathan Hurst from Texas preached. At the close I went to the altar to pray for the Spirit, surrounded by praying Pentecostals, I focused on Jesus and finally!  I “prayed through” and spoke in tongues for the first time.

As with others we have seen, my face had a glow on it and there is a picture of me with my dad around that time where the joy of God’s Spirit is evident. My spirit was changed and I fell into our Pentecostal church life with a new-found joy. The services were powerful and we passionately sought God’s Presence in prayer before service even began.
Later I found out that most of the local churches looked down on us but we believed WE had "The Truth".

Many people, events, and would follow, some wonderful and some not so good, but I can never deny or renounce the goodness of receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit which was accompanied by speaking in tongues. About 2 years later, my future wife would be converted out of Catholicism and she too would receive Holy Spirit baptism speaking in tongues.

My experience was similar to the converts in Acts 19:2-6.
This is written as a testimony and to spark a desire for more of Jesus Christ and the Gift of the Holy Spirit which He said we should receive (John 7:37-39. 

Marriage to Linda came 3 years after the above and our Pentecostal sojourn lasted 11 years. I was ordained as a minister and there was a lot of good along with things that were not so good before the Lord called us out of that denomination. 

God bless you.

Lin Wood said: "There are NO modern day prophets." SAAY WHAT!?

 

#LINWOODCORRECTION
Being an attorney doesn’t make one astute 😎😎 obviously he thinks he knows more than Paul. 😍😍-Rex V.

A prominent Christian attorney in the patriot MAGA movement, Lin Wood from Georgia, said: "There are NO modern day prophets. The only prophets are identified as such in the Holy Bible (I recommend the KJV). Anyone claiming at this time to be a prophet is a false prophet. "

Sad to say he was repeated by others. I would like to correct his false statement from God's Word.
I could include many witnesses and modern day prophets (not the false ones of which there are many also), but let's test his mistake with God's Word.

1. He does not say when was and who were the last identified prophets. Bible or otherwise.
2. He does not make a case for the cessation of God's gifts.
3. He does not give reasons for his statement .

LET'S TEST LIN WOOD:
-Why would Paul, Barnabbas, and others be called prophets in Acts 13?
-Why would Paul name prophets as one of the 5 gifts given by God to equip the body of Christ in Eph. 4:10-11?
- Why would Paul mention them if there would be no more of them?
-Pastors are mentioned in the passage, are pastors no more also if prophets are no more?

-If there were no prophets for the body of Christ, why did the Ephesian elders in Acts 19 receive Spirit baptism and prophecy?

 -If there are no prophets why would Paul tell this to the church at Corinth in 1 Corinthians 12:28

And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing …” when the gifts that included prophets were being manifested IN the church there?
-if there were no more prophets, then there should not be teachers or healing gifts. 
-If there were no more prophets, why would Paul tell the churches Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said. 1 Corinthians 14:29

-Why would Paul tell all the prophets to prophesy and for the prophets among them to judge??
1 Corinthians 14:31-33   For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged,  and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.

-Why were there prophets in Acts if Lin Wood speaks the truth??
Acts 11:27 Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

-Why were there prophets in the church at Antioch if Lin Wood speaks truth?
Acts 13:1 Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, and Saul.
No more prophets?
Acts 15:32  And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, encouraged and strengthened the brothers with many words.

-Interesting compilation about Jesus being a prophet:
THE prophet Jesus:
Matthew 21:11 And the multitude said, “This is Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.”
John 7:40  Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, “In truth this is the Prophet.”
Moses, a prophet, prophesied of him in Deut 1818 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.
Luke 13:33 Nevertheless, I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.’
Acts 7:37  Stephen affirmed: This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers.’

Titus told to warn carnal-mouthed prophets in the church at Crete:
Titus 1:12  One of the Cretans, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”

So if a person receives the "Spirit of Christ", did God strip away that part of Jesus that prophesy's?
When did Jesus stop being a prophet?
Rev. 19:10
For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Did the prophets in the church of Corinth have "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” when they received Jesus' Spirit?

I think a reasonable person unpolluted by negative teachings can see the truth here. 
Peace and grace.

"In The Beginning" John 1 or Genesis 1?

 

In the beginning..
was the WORDs God said..

1.Genesis 1:3 And God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

2. Genesis 1:6 And God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”

3. Genesis 1:9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so.

4. Genesis 1:11 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth”; and it was so.

5. Genesis 1:14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years;

6. Genesis 1:20 And God said, “Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.”

7. Genesis 1:24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth after his kind”; and it was so.

8. Genesis 1:26 And God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,...

When GOD made the first man, God was speaking Prophetically (foreknowledge) to the man Christ Jesus, "the Last Adam". Because God foreknew all things and through Jesus Christ's work would come the one new man in God's ** image. 

So in Genesis 1:27 the scripture reverts back to GOD alone creating man:
"God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.".
Isa. 44:24
“Thus says the Lord, thy Redeemer, and He that formed thee from the womb:
I am the Lord that makes all, that stretched forth the heavens alone, that spread abroad the earth by Myself;

Jesus agrees.
Matthew 19:4
And He answered and said to them, “Have ye not read, that He that made them at the beginning made them male and female.

Through Christ, the Genesis 1:26 prophetic fulfillment in "let us make man in our image.."
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all have become new.

Thus the creation in John 1 was not the Genesis creation, it was the NEW creation that came through Christ. And so Jesus gave creatorship to his God and Father and never took personal credit for the Genesis creation.
"All were made by  Him" refers to the "let us make man in OUR image" and the creation of the new man.
** image: 

Col 3:9 Do not lie one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put   on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him.
And there is the Genesis 1:26 Let us make man in OUR IMAGE fulfillment..

For those that notice and recognize the numeric witness coded in:

Through Christ, the Genesis 1:26 had a prophetic fulfillment for "let us make man in our image.." and was not a singular event. Jesus was not yet, and the "us", a prophecy was for a time 4,000 later.

Yahweh created the physical creation. God, through Christ, creates all things spiritual.

But wait, "𝓐𝓷𝓭 𝓖𝓸𝓭 𝓼𝓪𝓲𝓭' was used 8 times in Genesis 1.

EIGHT is the symbolic number for a "new beginning",

8 represents a new beginning, meaning a new order or creation, and man's true "born again" event when he is resurrected from the dead into eternal life.

and the number of the Greek letters for Jesus are 888* see below.. God would use Jesus Christ to make the new man 4,000 years after Adam.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all have become new.

*Jesus' name, in the original Greek language from which the New Testament was written, is spelled Ι (Iota), η (Eta), σ (Sigma), ο (Omicron), υ (Upsilon) and σ (Sigma) or Ιησουσ (Strong's Concordance #G2424).

Their numeric equivalents of 10, 8, 200, 70, 400 and 200 add up to 888.

The numerics also resolve the controversy over using the name of Jesus being incorrect as translated.

Other 888 related Bible names used for Jesus also have a factor of eight within them when we add the numeric equivalents of the Greek letters.

These include Christ (1480 or 8 x 185),

Lord (800 or 8 x 100),

Messiah (656 or 8 x 82) and others.

Lastly, Genesis 1:26, 1+2+6 =9. and nine symbolizes judgment <by whom God judges the world, Acts 17:31) and the NINE spiritual gifts that came through Christ to the spiritual man. 1Corinthians 12. Genesis 1:27 is 1+2+7=10 10 is the symbol for law.. The law of sin and death fell upon Adam and his generations, the "natural man"..
