ENOCH AND US
                                                                         Part 1

I was awakened this morning at 3:41am. The total of these numbers is 8. The number 8 represents, A NEW DAY. I heard Father say, "Replenish the earth". Then about 30 minutes later, He said, "Enoch answers a lot". So, not being able to go back to sleep, I got up and started searching.

The name Enoch means, initiated. to initiate, to train up, discipline, dedicate, to narrow. These things showed what Enoch had to go through to wind up as he did.

We act as though someone ask us to give away our home, if it is even suggested that we spend at least an hour a day with Father; and that doesn't even include the studying we should be doing; the meditation on His Word that we should be doing. In order to be initiated, Enoch had to have discipline about himself. He had to narrow out "him", in order to come to what he came to.....his True Identity.

Enoch was the 7th from Adam. The number, 7, represents perfection or completion. Adam was brought forth perfect, in the image of God, our Father. Enoch walked into perfection. There has to be something for us to see and hear, in the person, Enoch. I feel that we are going to get "a lot" out of looking at Enoch.

As I was seeking Father and studying about Enoch, I asked Father, if it was true, that if one of our brethren has "sin", because he thinks he does, does that mean that all the brethren have "sin" because this brother claims to have? Because I was thinking, if that is true, then, I SHOULD have been translated like Enoch, because he is also, my brother.

Father showed me a truth on this. Just because a brother or sister may "think" that they have sin, does not mean that I do. Where me and the brethren are connected, IS IN THE FATHER!. This brother thinks that he is a human being; I believe that I AM a Spirit Being, the SAME Spirit that my Father is, and it is in FATHER that we are connected.

Jude14-16, "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam prophesied of these saying, BEHOLD, the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."

I got so much conformation FROM FATHER, while doing this study. Just the other day, I was talking to someone, and I don't remember who; but I told this person that we are to judge (correct that which is incorrect) the deeds that go on, NOT THE PERSON DOING THE DEED. IF we don't judge a deed as godly, or ungodly, then we might walk right into that same deed, not seeing that it is ungodly. We are to walk as CHRIST, which is Father's Life, not in ungodly deeds.

There are a lot of things being taught about walking in Fatherhood. Most say, "oh you are not to see anything as unpure; you are to see only the love of the person doing an unpure act". I didn't buy it then, and I still don't buy it. It's like saying, "be an ostrich, stick your head in the ground". Folks, this is not how Father walked, as the man Jesus. No, I don't judge the person, but I surely do judge the deed, as to whether it is a godly deed or an ungodly deed. You know, the Kingdom people are almost at the same place that the church system is at. The church system has their own little do's and don't's and so do the Kingdom people; just eat, drink and talk LOVE. Don't see things as UNGODLY, if you see it as Godly, it will become GODLY. Folks, that is not true. This is another form of RELIGION. We need to unveil it for what it is.

Heb 11:5, "By faith Enoch was translated that he SHOULD NOT SEE DEATH; and was not found, because God had translated him; for before his translation he (Enoch) had this testimony, THAT HE PLEASED GOD. But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

BY FAITH, what exactly is FAITH? Let's forget the little lines we learned to memorize, as children. Let's, as mature sons really say what we believe faith is. To me, faith is BELIEVING ALL THAT FATHER SAYS, WHETHER WE UNDERSTAND WHAT HE SAYS OR NOT. First, let me say, this is MY BELIEF, no one has to agree with me. For me, this is how Father has always worked with me. To me, it seems that by believing HIM, He then takes the time to shed understanding to me. It may not be the same understanding that others have, and that's ok. BUT, no one will or can take out of me what Father gives me. HE might enlarge that understanding as time goes on, but, until He does, I hold dearly and closely to my heart what He gives me. I have had smooth talking preachers, eloquent talking people try to change my beliefs, but it WILL NOT WORK. My dependence is in Father. I CAN gain insight from others, but if their insight is not what Father has shown me, I'll put it on a shelf. Father can show us understanding through others, but while He is doing this, we KNOW that it is HIM giving that added understanding.

I believe that Enoch had trust and belief in what Father showed him. No one else. I believe that Enoch's dependence WAS IN FATHER. One proof of this, and it wasn't even in written form at that time, but Enoch did NOT SEE DEATH. We are told in the NT, that WE do not have to see death. In the OT we are told that God ANNULLED OUR APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH AND HELL. (IS 28:15 and PS 102:18-20) In the NT, we are told that man is appointed unto death ONCE. And we met that one appointment AT THE CROSS. (Heb 9:27-Rom 6)

Heb 9:27, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement."

Ok, we see that man is appointed to die ONE TIME. AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT. We must remember that to judge a thing is simply to correct what is incorrect. Romans 6:6 tells us that we died on the cross WITH Jesus. Now what is the judgment that comes after this death? We are raised a New Creature and we are to CORRECT THE THINKING that we had before this death. With our resurrection, the Mind of Christ was awakened in us. With that Mind, some of us have learned and corrected our thinking, that we ARE NOT humans, we ARE Spirit Beings. With that Mind, we have learned that we actually CANNOT die. A Spirit Being doesn't die. Then we became aware of WHO and WHAT WE ARE.

We see here in Hebrews, that Enoch PLEASED GOD. This word "pleased" means: gratify entirely, fully agreeable. Enoch gratified entirely, GOD. Enoch was fully agreeable with what God said to him. I saw something as I wrote these words. AGREE-ABLE. Father made us to be ABLE to AGREE with ANYTHING HE TELLS US. Understanding comes AFTER being AGREEABLE. Thank You Father.

Genesis 5:1-2, "This is the book (scroll) of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him; male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created."

AGAIN, we are told that God created man in HIS IMAGE and LIKENESS. In Genesis 1:26, we are told that God conferred with the plural Elohim, "let us make man in our image, after our likeness."

Then, again in Genesis 1:27, we are told, "SO God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. AND God blessed them, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multi;y, and REPLENISH THE EARTH."

This is 3 times that we are told WHO and WHAT WE ARE!! Also, this is bringing into full circle what Father spoke to me this morning, "replenish the earth"; which we'll get to further on into this study. Folks, many mature Kingdom preachers disagree with me when I say, it is all in our believing. They say that WE have nothing to do with it. But, Father told me that He FINISHED HIS WORK, so that tells me that the rest is up to me, The True Me; Who IS manifesting now.

Genesis 5:18-24, "And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch; And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters; and all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years; and he died. And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah; And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters; And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years; And Enoch walked with God; and he was not; for God took him"

We can get a picture of how much the carnal mind had taken over the people, from the time that Jared, Enoch's father lived, down to the generations after Enoch. Jared lived 962 years. As you read on down in this chapter, you see how the life expectancy lowered. In Chapter 6:11-12, we are told:

"The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth."

But looking at Enoch, we see that Enoch walked with God. We are told 2 times that Enoch walked with God. Notice, it doesn't say that Enoch FOLLOWED God; or Enoch walked BESIDE God. Enoch walked WITH God. He walked with God until "he was not". I believe that Enoch walked with God until the Light came to him that he was as God IS. He no longer walked with God, he walked AS GOD. That was the END of ENOCH. He was now ONE WITH GOD. And God took him.

Notice with the other people, it says they died. Enoch became FULLY ALIVE IN FATHER. How? Because of the way he BELIEVED AND DISCIPLINED HIS MIND. Just as Father is asking US to do.

I cross referenced the words, " and God took him". It led to Hebrews 11:5, which we have already looked at; it showing that Enoch was translated. And to 2Kings 2:11, telling of Elijah's translation. We are left to BELIEVE or disbelieve what we are told of these two men. As for me, I believe.

There isn't a whole lot about Enoch in our bible, which shows us and we need to get use to the fact that we are NOT going to find everything in the bible; but in the Book of Jasher there is a lot more about Enoch. (you can type in JASHER and hit , go and you can download the book of Jasher.) I will have more on this in the next and last part of this study.

Now, I don't know what you take away with you from this study. But, I'll tell you what I see. For us, we MUST have and KEEP the belief that we WERE TAKEN and the only one left here IS FATHER. Believe as you will; but it is so deeply seated in me that "I am no more". NOW, I AM. I may not completely understand the hows and whys of it all, but I do know this. God does not lie. Also, what and Who He tells me that I AM, I AM. You will see me as you wish to see me; after all that's what happened with Jesus, was it not. The people saw Him, but they didn't believe Who He said He was, because they were looking at Him through carnal eyesight. I KNOW WHO I AM.

Now, about the "replenish the earth". This is twofold. As I meditate and BELIEVE Who and What I AM, it is affecting this earthen body. It HAS to affect it. Also, just by these words that I AM writing, there are some who will grab hold of these truths and allow it to manifest in them. More of the Kingdom has came forth.

Be blessed.
