I want to explain a statement that I made in the last part of this
study: I ask that throughout this entire study, that you keep in mind,
MY meaning of the word "Christ". I AM NOT TALKING ABUT THE MAN, JESUS.
to me, "CHRIST" means, GOD'S LIFE FLOWING THROUGH A PERSON. This way, I
won't have to type this explanation every time I use the word, "Christ".
I am not asking that you believe as I do, I just want to make it
clear, that I am receiving in what I BELIEVE. This IS NOT saying
that MY BELIEF is the only way to believe.
OK, we looked at the definition of the word "illusion". An
illusion can look and seem so real that it fools people. As we will see,
this is what has happened to mankind. As we have noticed, the Plural God
is called, Lord God. Remember this:
1Timothy 3:16, "And without
controversy great is the
mystery of godliness; GOD MANIFEST IN THE FLESH..... "
if you go on and read the rest of this verse, you will see
that IT IS GOD WHO IS DOING ALL THAT THE VERSE TALKS ABOUT, it is NOT
talking about the flesh man, Jesus. What it is doing, is telling us WHO
JESUS REALLY WAS! HE WAS GOD, in the disguise of a man. It was part of
the PLAN for God to become man and lay a pattern for us to follow. When
Jesus was born, God was born into the flesh realm, IN AN INFANT level.
SO WERE WE. And we have been moving, ascending, from realm to realm,
level to level , in our understanding. We are now, maturing. MORE OF GOD
IS BEING SEEN, AS US. I wanted to put this scripture in , so that
without a doubt, all that read these words, will know that Jesus was a
form of a man that God stepped into. Jesus was the soul of Elohim. The
soul is the visible realm of the unseen God. Now, remember what
Jesus/God was called, as He walked the earth?
1Timothy 6:15, "....which in his times he
shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of Kings,
and Lord of Lords.."
He was called, the Lord of Lords! Now, don't let the punctuation
throw you, by seeing one "Lord" capitalized and the other "Lords" not
capitalized. When the bible was written, there were no capitalization,
no chapters, and no verses numbered. The translators CHANGED THAT,
amonge the many things that they changed. But, if He is Lord of Lords,
WHO ARE THE OTHER LORDS?. Well, my Lord, hello, it is you and I.
And not only are we Lords, but we are also:
1Peter 5:2-4, "Feed the flock of God
(of= out from within) which is among you
(in your midst) taking the over sight
there of, not by constraint, but willingly: not for filthy lucre, but
OF A READY MIND; neither as being lords over God's heritage, but
being examples to the flock. (we are not to try to do or teach
something, because we have heard it from someone else, or MAKE ourselves
study, if we feel like it is a burden on us; but only when we KNOW that
the mind is ready to receive and give out. But we are to be the example
of Who we know we are. As that Voice spoke to me, "you cannot KNOW a
thing until you EXPERIENCE that thing. When you are open and seeking it
will come, and you become an experience of what you find, and as so, you
are to be and example to others.) And when the
chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that
fadeth not away." Now, this is an example of what I was saying,
about the bible being written in the "cultural understanding of that
day". In that day, sheep was a vital part of their cultural living, so
they USED sheep as a way of telling a parable. But when the chief
Shepherd shall appear is when we RECOGNIZE our True Identity, and He is
seen AS US.
Revelation 1: 5-6, "And from Jesus Christ
(God) the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead,
and the prince of the kings of the earth . Unto him that loved
us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and HAS MADE US
KINGS AND PRIESTS, unto (into) God and his Father ; to him be glory
AND DOMINION for ever and ever. Amen." So what does that
mean? WE ARE NOT ONLY LORDS, BUT KINGS!!!! Whether anyone wants to
accept this truth as truth, is up to each person who reads it. Because
of the illusion that we have been living in, we have not accepted these
things as truth. We have believed that, "when we die and go to heaven,
we will be all this". NO, NO, NO. What did we see in John 1:16 "of
his fullnes have we all receivED". Can you see what I am
saying, IT IS ALL IN WHAT WE BELIEVE!! IF we cannot believe HIM, who can
we believe?
So, I encourage all of you to start recognizint the man , Jesus,
for Who He truely was, Elohim. Did we need to learn about the man Jesus,
of course we did. But we are not to stop there, that is the salvation
realm, we have entered a different dimension, and we need to THINK in
that dimension. And ask yourself, IF we are Him, and we are, then how
can we be OUR OWN FATHER? See what I mean. It is religion that has
taught us that He is our Father. He isn't, HE IS US!! Boy this sure
takes all the religion out of it, doesn't it? IF you are not in this
dimension, then call Him what you want, but, it will come, the truth
always does, He isn't a Father; especaillly if HE IS ALL THERE IS!! Once
you hear something, and you take time to think about it, it shows what
"infant" versions of Him, we have been. But, we had to start from the
beginning.
Now, let's get back to our past, the Lord God. Ok we looked at the
Lord God FORMING the man, that Elohim created.
Now, let's think about
this for a little while. We have been taught that the GOD breathed into
us and gave us life, right? What was and is the Lord God? He is SPIRIT.
SPIRIT does not need air, breath to live. Have you thought of that? A
Spirit Being does NOT LIVE ON AIR! Air is what is needed for the
natural, PHYSICAL body to exist. Now, remember, at this time, God had
not come to dwell in people. There were no people to indwell. Up
until this point, EVERYONE was a Spirit form of the invisible
God/Elohim. We were ALL Plural Him, or Plural Elohim. We were IN GOD. We
did not need air, to breath. But, since the Lord God was creating HIS
OWN BODY (this is all of us), this body WOULD NEED AIR, because it was a
PHYSICAL BODY. We were/are the SOUL of ELOHIM/GOD. The soul realm
represents the carnal or literal , physical US (or as we have THOUGHT
ourselves to be.) But keep in mind throughout this study, no matter what
we have THOUGHT we are, it does not change WHAT AND WHO WE TRUELY ARE.
I want to say a little more about the word "Lords". Look at:
Suet. 10:8,9, (. I want to look at verse
17, but please read from verse 8 through 17. Read it carefully.) vs 17,
For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a
mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward."
In this verse, the word "lords" means, #2962, supremacy, supreme
in authority, i.e. (as noun) controller; by implication, Mr. (as a
respectful title) :God, Lord, master, Sir. AGAIN, do not be thrown by
the lack of capitalization. As I said, when the letters or scrolls were
written, there were no capitalizations, or numbered chapters and verses,
that changed when the bible was translated. Now this definition is of
the word LORDS, plural. So this tells us what the LORD GOD was. (and
still is). I know that this is all very different from what we have been
taught, and this is why I ALWAYS ask that those of you who get my
studies to PLEASE go along with your bible and study aid books.
Genesis
2:8-9, "And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he
put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the Lord God
to grow every tree that is pleasant to the SIGHT, and good FOR FOOD; the
tree of life ALSO in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge
of good and evil......vs 15, And the LOrd God took the man, and put him
into the garden to dress it and to keep it."
And so we see that the
Lord God formed the man that God had created and put the man in the
garden.
garden is number 1588
and it means, "fenced". The root word for garden is #1598 and it means:
to hedge about; i.e. (generally) protect, defend. The Garden, dear ones,
is our Christ or God Mind. It was and is protected because God knew the
trials and errors we would make, in our experiencing and matruring in
our True Identity. We are Him, but we are in the process of EXPERIENCING
BEING HIM. Some have matrued more than others. That part IS UP TO US. We
allow what we will let enter our Garden, and we choose what we will not
be allowed to enter our Garden. And up until our awakening, most of what
we have allowed in our Garden , has been RELIGION!! But that is
changing. Halilujah!!!!
So really, the garden
that the Lord God placed man in, is a place of THINKING. Remember
Genesis chapter one and two are allegoric. It is a parable. Ok, let's
look at some differences in God/Elohim, and the Lord God, the Plural
Elohim. First of all, the garden that the Lord God planted, was not a
literal garden. The garden is our MIND. Eastward is symbolic of the Son.
Now this is the FIRST PLACE where we see anything that even hints to a
realm of Sonship. We did not see it, in the creating that God did.
Now, let's look at
verse 9.
"And out
of the ground made the Lord God, to grow EVERY TREE THAT IS PLEASANT
TO THE SIGHT",
What part of us is "sight"? It is the soul. The place of the seven
senses. This is in the natural, flesh realm.
"AND GOOD FOR FOOD:" What are we? Spirit Beings, and Spirit
Beings DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE NOURISHMENT of earthly, or fleshly food. But,
we see here that the Lord God made the "trees" good for food.
"the tree of life also in the midst of the
garden, AND tree of knowledge of good and evil". WHAT???? The
tree of what? The tree of knowledge of good and evil !!! Ok, now WHO
made the tree of knowledge of good and evil ? The Lord God. Now, let's
look BACK to chapter one, and look again at what GOD/Elohim made and
what was the being of it;
Genesis
1:29,31, "And God said, Behold, I have given you every hert bearing
seed, whi is upon the face of ALL the earth, and EVERY TREE, in the
which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; TO YOU IT SHALL BE FOR
MEAT." Now, look at vere 31, "And God saw EVERY THING that he had
made, AND BEHOLD, IT WAS VERY GOOD!!!!"
oK, do you see the
difference between what God created and what the Lord God made? Who made
the tree of knowledge of good and evil? The LORD GOD did.
Look at something else
that the Lord God made DIFFERENTLY than what God made it. Notice verse
15.
And the
Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, TO DRESS IT
AND TO KEEP IT." This
is the same thing that we are told in the Book of Revelation 1:3
"Blessed
is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and
KEEP those things which are written therein; fot the time is at hand."
#5647 to dress= to till, to work, to serve. In other words, the man was
to really take charge and enjoy the garden.. to keek#8104= to hedge
about (as with thorns), to guard, to protect, to attend to, beware, be
circumspect, take heed (to self) keep (self) , mark, look narrowly,
observe, preserve, regard, reserve, save (self), wait , watch. I don't
think that I have to tell you what man was to do in the garden. It was
to keep in himself, WHO HE WAS.
Now we see WHO it was
that FIRST THOUGHT OF THE WORD, DEATH.
Genesis
2:16-17. You can read
these two verses. It is where man was told that if he ate of the tree of
knowledge of good and evil, he will surely die. Before this, death was
not heard of, death of any kind. Now not only did the Lord God bring
this word into being, look at He said next:
Genesis
2:18, "And the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be
alone; I will make him an help meet for him."
Now, go back and look when
God created the man, He made him male and female. And what did He say
after He had created man? "It is VERY GOOD!!"
But isn't it just like man/us, to change what God has done, or at
least TRY to change it!! lol But, before we get too much, down on the
Lord God, let's remember, GOD KNEW WHAT WOULD BE DONE. I think that He
knew that some would TRY to act as though they had been Creators,
experienced Creators, when they were not experienced; and that there
would be some who would try to follow that Voice within themselves, but
still would change things, into THEIR way. But, part of the PLAN was for
us to learn, and that is what we can see now. We can see how we allowed
other voices tell us things, and we followed those voices. BUT NOW WE
ARE WAKING UP and looking back at what we created and are changing them.
THIS IS THE TRUE MEANING OF "JUDGEMENT". CORRECTING WHAT IS INCORRECT,
WITHOUT CONDEMNATION. Remember, through all of this, we are here
to learn to BE WHO we are. And remember, we have always been ONE in GOD.
You will see, in verse
2: 19 that it is the Lord God who called the man, Adam. Another change.
God called him, MAN.
Now while Adam named
all the animals, or in true words, Adam gave natures to all the animals,
here in verse 20, the THOUGHT that the Lord God had had, about it not
being good for man to be alone, His THOUGHT COMES INTO MANIFESTATION. He
is going to bring forth a woman for Adam.
to be continued......
