From Genesis and Revelation— let’s take a look at religion; or what is otherwise known as— ‘falling away from the face of God, spiritually, in the souls of men.’

_____

Genesis:

Chapter 3— Adam and Eve fall away from God within, and their walk with God becomes askew.  Verses 4 and 5: 

‘The serpent said… you shall surely not die [H4191: be destroyed(er)]… for God [H430: Elohiym: the supreme God magistrate who judges] knows that when you eat of this fruit (spiritually speaking), in the day [H3117: figurative a space of time defined by associated term— can be a day, time, chronicles, daily, ever, year, continually, while] you eat [H398: consume, devour, dine upon or eat up and feed], your eyes [H5869: vision to take in the landscaped, affliction outward (conceit referenced), countenance, displeasing eye, face, humility, presence, regard, resemblance— as them think] shall be opened [H6491: to be observant], and you shall be as gods [H430: elohim: supreme god— as a magistrate, a judge] —knowing [H3045: to ascertain by seeing, to recognize— and causatively instruct, acknowledge, acquaint, advise, awares, comprehend, consider, declare, discover, feel, have, make know, make to— self known and learned, perceived, privy (familiar friend, private circle) to prognostication (foretell), regard, respect, be skillful in/at, show forth, teach, tell, understand, will and wit] —good [H2896: well— beautiful, best, better, bountiful, cheerful, fair, favorable, gracious, joyful, kind, loving, merry, pleasant, pleasure, precious, prosperity, sweet, wealth/welfare— to be well] and evil [H7451: bad naturally (or in nature) or morally— adversity, affliction, calamity, displeasure, distress, great grief, harm, heavy hurt, ill, mischief, misery, sadness/sorrow, trouble, vexation, wretchedness and wrong].’

So… We have a serpent (a spirit through a vessel) speaking…

• The first part of deception comes through a spirit speaking to us— and that comes within.  The very first area affected by satan in/unto a human being— is the mind in thoughts; as we see ‘satan causes a man to think his thoughts.’ And those thoughts are pertaining to our eyesight.

• The eyesight is technically not physical— but spiritual eyesight within, as it pertains to ‘being a god;’ and a god is a magistrate (preliminary proceedings— authority in misdemeanor civil matters) and judge (full authority over a life, presiding over felonies or large matters in finality— final judgment).  So we learn that satan’s job and seed in a human being is to corrupt their spiritual eyesight so as to turn them into being their own god— one who determines small and large matters for themselves over their lives.  

The first temptation was to ‘be our own man’ in the realm of the soul— by being ruled by a spirit that does its own thing, and determines what is the course of action to take; as it judges all things and does accordingly (not with another God over them— our Father— but for self-rule).  And that when we consume, devour, dine upon or eat up this lifestyle and way, and partake with this spirit— in that span of time— our eyes— our vision to take in the landscape (what we perceive around us, spiritually speaking— of the Lord God) shall die— be destroyed, suddenly, by the destroyer: we shall experience separation from God and godliness in our faculties of spiritual operation that take place within our heart’s mind: and our eye is not single on the Lord God anymore— but single on the self, and must be humbled (willfully turned) toward the Lord God in reverence once again— for our spiritual perception only perceives inwardly now— not outwardly— or toward ‘other,’ namely our Lord God in this; for he is to be our God— or one who determines the little things and the big things, and definitely the final things.

Can we see/perceive how we fell from this— with the only one true God and Maker of us, but also how we can fall-into having other people as our gods?  For if you set up another human in which you turn to in order to be the final say, the one you turn to for all advising and counsel ABOVE THE LORD AND ONE TRUE GOD—  we are in idolatry with another spirit being ‘above’ God: that other person.

We have done this in religion for eons— because it all began here: and why do I say this… for the very next part is where Eve is led of the serpent (first spirit follows other than the Lord God and her husband under him), and then Adam exemplifies the same— as he listens to her and heeds her decision, complete with follow through; as he listens to another spirit (hers— as she followed satan) —he is then given to another god as well: another god can be the self-spirit that is estranged from union, reverently, to the Lord and one true God; or it can be having as a magistrate and judge (the little and big, and finally determinations and actions) any other spirit being— human spirit or other entities in the heavenly (hence— angel worship, which is any spirit with a message— that is not the Lord God, and in this case— Eve and her spirit message to Adam) in the heavenlies.  

Eve fell first— and Adam followed her— not God: idolatry noted for the first mention in scripture: first to the self— as one listens to the other option spirit (satan), and then as man falls under any other person/spirit that he/she gives themselves to— as the one heeded, instead of from within and unto the Spirit of the living God: spirit adultery first mentioned— both away from looking to the face of God to ‘outwardly’ perceive (or be focused on God); and instead inwardly focused to ‘be’ god— and then lead others into this, propagating (cultivating and proselytizing) more to follow after.

Jesus came to show us the way back again, and to fulfill making that way back for us on Calvary; so that we would outwardly focus our spirit man once again unto the Lord God; and in that— our souls (inner faculties and what we are given to, and what loyalties we uphold as magistrates and judges— or give back to the one true God and Maker of us)... our souls would return back to the face of God— and we would be saved to the utmost.

Saved from what, or into what?

From— satan/self as our god, as we as spirit beings give ourselves over to satan/serpent, losing our spiritual perception of God; and our faculties are shut off toward God, and turned on (like a light switch) to the self, alone, and perceiving things for self, not unified— but separated, in spirit first— then all faculties of operation within our living persons in a material body: the landscape— what and who we perceive becomes afflicted outwardly (that means toward who is outside of self) —and conceit enters the picture and is referenced: conceit— pride and narcissism, a notion— impulse and desire of idea, self-regard, vain-glory— vanity (so when Solomon says all is vanity— he’s saying all is empty outside of God alone).  And so conceit is born— or separation from perceiving God now (the outward of another given preeminence, sight now short-sighted or self-sighted), and this brings the displeasing eye, lack of humility, presence, resemblance— as we think— as like the Lord God in form and likeness; having been opened— or now to observe the satanic (self focused and determined) ‘being.’  One who has lost the face of their Father.

• And now— we are ‘as/like’ gods: but there is truly only one who determines rightly the little things and the big things: Jesus, the Holy Spirit, our Father: God— the One, the True.  And only he knows what is good and righteous, and what is evil and unrighteous: we do not— though often believe ourselves to: this is an aspect of ‘being’ a self appointed magistrate and judge (of the little things and big things).  And it has imprisoned us in chains of self regulation ever since we ‘took to’ that nature and consumed: therefore— we are to be purged (a cross to bear), cleansed, and reformed to once again return (repentance) to hearing and hearkening (heeding) the face of our Father and Maker once again— who is our Husband. 

If not— we shall remain estranged from God and living within— the self, eternally, or perpetually.  And what we shall perceive (is not God), and what we shall know (is not God) —and is now afflicted, affected, and malformed and malfocused; as we— ascertain awares and recognize anything and everything that is not God; because our awares (faculties and vision— we perish for a lack of vision) has been turned inwardly in exaltation of the self, and we have lost the face of our Father as we are to peer outwardly unto him; or our focus in our faculties is to look to another— Him.

And when we shall— our awareness and what we are causatively instructed in for acknowledgment, what we are acquainting ourselves with/whom, who advises us, whom we consider, declare, discover (uncover knowledge of), feel, have, make to know (not self— but now other, as in God himself), we are learning, perceiving, privy and familiar (in Spirit) with as a private friend (no longer familiar spirits, but God himself as supreme Elohim); and are now regarding, respecting, skillful in/at knowledge awares of once again; and what is manifesting or showing forth, teaching us, telling us— as we begin to understand him again in will and wit— IS THE ONE TRUE GOD.  REMEMBERING THE FACE OF OUR FATHER ONCE AGAIN.  And that is in spiritual ways within our faculties and operations of.

Anything else, any one else, focused upon— IS DIVERSION FROM THE FACE OF OUR FATHER— and is spiritual religion, not spiritual UNION.  

And there is only ONE who is good— and that is God, Jesus told us: for only he knows of evil— but has no part in it (which is to be separated from God in focus and fashion of faculties), who is good, and always good: well— beautiful, best, better, bountiful, cheerful, fair, favorable, gracious, joyful, kind, loving, merry, pleasant, pleasure, precious, prosperity, sweet, wealth/welfare.  All else— is bad naturally (or in nature) or morally— adversity, affliction, calamity, displeasure, distress, great grief, harm, heavy hurt, ill, mischief, misery, sadness/sorrow, trouble, vexation, wretchedness and wrong: we fell into knowing both— but we can exit that tree and knowledge all together; and now ONLY live within the life of Jesus Christ (the tree of Life).  And if we shall— we shall be saved to the utmost from the fall and separation— that led us to leave the face of our Father: reconciliation— is to return to our Father’s face.

Religion— seeks to divert your eye from God— to another spirit or self placed before one’s eyes.

The apple of the eye— meant that someone was so closely being observed— that their reflection was shown in the observer's eye: we are the apple of his eye— as he focuses on all of us.  Is he the apple of our eye— as we singly focus on him, so closely, that he’s all we see, hear, heed, and observe?

If we are on any other topic— we do not have him as the apple of the eyes of our heart.  And in that— we are in spiritual religion, not spiritual union— with God Almighty: for the eyes of our heart are diverted— because someone (spirit or self) is standing between God’s face and our own; and we are given to this spirit or self/person: and in that— we shall experience the effects of separation— calamity, woe, great grief, distress, lack of peace and joy, harm, hurt, ill, mischief, misery, sadness or sorrow of separation, be troubled/vexed, and swimming in wretchedness and wrong.

And from Cain murdering (Genesis 4, and 4 being the first door opened unto this— as 4 is dalet or door), to the wickedness of the flood (Genesis 6— six being the number of man, and his wickedness or evil here), to the arrogance of Babel (Genesis 11, which is either great valor with God, or great disorder— I think we see the latter in Babylon), to the extreme depravity of Sodom (Genesis 19, covenant order— or godless chaos— again, I think we see the latter), resulting in separation, judgment, and the need for redemption: and this is just the book of Genesis (just the beginning)!!

These narratives show a pattern of humanity breaking fellowship with God, which brought consequences, such as— expulsion from Eden, the flood, the scattering of nations at Babel, and the destruction of cities going forth: all because man fell away from the face of God— by the subtle beast of the field (or earth): the spirit that lives as his own man in a dirt-suit, focused upon self (apple of the eye), and in this— is removed from union with God, reverence to God, or worship of God.

Revelation:

In the revelation of Jesus Christ to John— people turned away from God in their lack of repentance (turning to the face of God once again reverently— giving up, coming through a cross, the denial of the self to be god ruling over the little things and the big things, and the final things): they refused to reconcile reverently to the face of the Father, Maker, and Husband of us once again.

And so they would not turn from their wicked ways (spiritual faculties in a living soul carried out), worshiped other spirits and thus walked in idolatry, and were sided with the anti-christ— or the other-option christ or anointed one.

• Folks, we walk in this antichrist spirit— in the charismatic church of religion— when we hold up gifts, mantles, callings, talents, offices, messages, teachings— above reverence to the Lord God and his Spirit, God’s face… When we focus on (the eyes of our heart) man in any way (the bride, sons, priests of Melchizedek, ministers, pastors, evangelists, prophets, apostles, teachers, etc) to ‘be our leader,’ above God, above falling before the face of our Lord God himself— and having him as the apple of our eyes of our heart— in whom is the determining and final say as his Spirit leads us: any other being as the one that is looked to the most, heeded and obeyed the most, above the Lord God, the One True God— HIMSELF… Is where we are in idolatry in the church, as the church. 

God is not the church— but the church is to be given to God.

God is not the church— BUT THE CHURCH (called out ones) ARE TO BE GIVEN TO GOD (as a type of bride, sons, priests, and first fruits— born after Jesus).

Plagues come forward— because of self focused men… Darkness abounds— because of self focused men… scorching heat and all manner of woe— because of evil men (people who are self focused and lost the face of their Father, and in whom satan has found a place, placement, a seat— a throne of influence and authority).

From— severe plagues, to people refusing to repent of their murders, to magic arts, and sexual immorality, and thefts, in choosing instead to continue worshiping demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood (spiritually lesser constructs— unpurified gold, silver, bronze… and stone and wood… like stubble or chaff that shall be burned up; as the elements of the earth (soul) are ‘melted down’ like a lake of fire to purge— before the ‘new earth’ or soul comes forward in the full conversion: all spiritual references).

But these men— worshiped the beast— the rabid carnal nature, consuming the feast of the subtle satan serpent unto the souls of men— to have another god (him) over the self/person; and to simultaneously be turned away from the face of our Father: the falling away… into death or estrangement… in our faculties, and operations of… that will cause us to be separated from God forever, or perpetually: lest we turn again, repent, renounce, unaffiliate, come out of her (the whore of religious activities that keep a man’s face on himself/creation, and not the Creator, in spiritual ways and focus), and return to the exaltation of the face of our Father, Maker, Creator, and spiritual Husband/Lord of us.  And in this— had not their names written in the Lamb’s ‘book of LIFE:’ this is all life who is ‘found in reverence to him.’  And folks— that is NOT something you say, IT’S SOMETHING YOU DO!!!  No hypocrites— no fakers. 

And fakery— is deception; and darkness/pride blinds us to the Light, leaving us (when we are the church) in a state of religious activities— devoid of reverencing (actually) GOD. And instead pointing to ourselves once again: priests, sons, bride, offices of ministry, mantles, gifts, skills, callings, experiences… ALL THESE… IF EXALTED ABOVE OR IN PLACE OF GOD ALMIGHTY— IS IDOLATRY AND DECEPTION AND RELIGION!!!

And religion KILLS!!!  It subtly separates man from the eyes of his heart being singly upon (that means not on you or anyone else) God; where this man has God reflected so strongly in his eye— that it is said— THIS MAN EXALTS THE LIVING GOD— FOR HE IS SEEN IN HIS EYE (what he is beholding spiritually, preeminently, and affiliated with, and brings forth in worship unto) AS THE APPLE OF HIS EYE— IN DIRECT, INTIMATE, RELATIONSHIP.

Where do our spiritual loyalties lie?  This means— what is our spiritual focus?  Is it God Almighty— to speak of him, revere him, look to him, behold him, bring him forth— or is it unto ourselves?  

______________________________

Idolatry and/or false (not true) religious activities are as such: to be talking about and/or focused upon— rather than the Lord God himself and his kingdom: 

A rapture— for truthfully he’s desiring we would be raptured inwardly into his kingdom— that is within, where he reigns/rules his people (in dirt-suits, bodies, in the earth), as we join him spiritually.

End times prophesy (when he told us to just pay attention to the seasons of what are happening— spiritually speaking— and look up to him for our redemption salvation draws close to us right now, if we would only look up to him again— he would save us ‘in’ our situations upon the earth, as that is his ‘way’).

Happenings upon the earth themselves.

Positions of prominence or title in the kingdom of God (which truly are positions of service and nothing more, but those in which God has exalted in due season— because their posture was lowly and meek unto him and man).

Experiences in the earth (soul) or heavens (spirit), knowledge/revelation itself— even if about scripture— but does not lead a man into reunion and reverence to the living God.

Conversations that do not exalt God himself— but exalt man in a knowledge base, or doing or saying anything— that is not referring to the Lord Jesus Christ— HIMSELF, but instead directs focus unto the vessel —over— the Spirit that is to be contained within said vessel.

Events upon the earth in governments and conflicts— which is not God’s kingdom nor governing of his people (material life feared over God’s life feared within man).

State of earthly living situations— above the living God in all his provisional ability (and instead we are earthly minded, carnally minded, and determine an outcome— like Sarah did when she laughed at what God was going to miraculously do) and we become disrespectful and malfocused (as we reason and hypothesize for self, as a god).

Hypocrisy— the knowledge of God and his kingdom— but not living within the truth— having been transformed by the Truth/Jesus, speaking down to man (any man) for Jesus did not come to do that, but to condescend down to their level and meet them there with the gospel of peace (reconciliation to God and his righteous kingdom— or operations of running human faculties once again— reigning in a people— that is the kingdom of God, heaven is something vastly different— and is the relocation back into God himself, or estranged into a containment area where those who do not desire reconciliation with him, nor to be as he is— go).

Lying— to self first, as one does not examine what/who he is given to within, and then others— as darkness of the self/pride/satan has corrupted the eye-focus of the heart, and is now leading others (proselytizing— making disciples) of the very same functioning of darkness: which is focused upon the lesser entity— self, another spirit other than God, and the conducting of the person led of the self and antichrist spirit (the other option of headship).  Because it sounds good and appeals to our flesh— but is not Christ Jesus, the way, truth, and life of God in exaltation; it is the religion and form that kills (separates); and it carries forward ‘actions’ in semblance to the old testament law— physical actions that are carried forth— but inward conversion that does not take place— in actually placing the Spirit of God and his governing of us— in his rightful place… if truly… he actually is our God.  Instead— we are the deceived (self focused) deceiving others (to self focus or exalt); and we continue as those who upheld covenant NOT with the Lord God, who went before us.

Those that did uphold covenant with the Lord God holy and true— died of the self exalted, died of the separation— came into the union and exaltation of the living God, and brought death— to death, and death to religion: the form of godliness— but living in denial/deception (denying the Truth exalted, and he’s a person— within the faculties in operation of a human being) —whereby satan still is at the helm… but man cannot tell… because what is being spoken of and looked into— has a form of godliness… but denies the power of the holy Spirit to convert a man entirely… saving a man from himself… and walking now in righteousness with Jesus Christ… as Jesus Christ is truly worshiped within said man; and the focus within a man is actually Christ— not the human being any longer.

• The eyes of the heart reunited with God and his Spirit now speaking and leading and exemplifying; as man gives reverence unto him once again— coming all the way back around— revolutionary— from one kingdom reign… to Another (him):  ‘let YOUR kingdom come Lord Jesus,’ is about his coming ‘inside’ a person/people, where there is a world of territory to conquer in love once again.

The outward earthly focus of his kingdom coming— versus INWARD of his kingdom (reign) coming into the earth (soul) —is to be carnally minded.  There will come a time when the Lord Jesus rules and reigns within a people for 1,000 years— with them, leading them, and the Father doing his spiritual functions right through them: but how this comes to be— is when a people return to the worship of the face of the Father once again… and repent of the nonsensical behaving of having our eyes of our heart focused on anything or anyone that is not him.  We shall be as he is, and we shall be seen as he is seen— when the King’s kingdom (reign, and territory of) has conquered the dark kingdom within man’s heart; and a true worship of God and his face has resumed (this is salvation) within the working faculties of a human being (spiritually).  

Two kingdoms at bat— are within.  One kingdom has already won in Christ Jesus; and one kingdom shall prevail in the hearts of men— when the other kingdom’s reign within man— is overcome by carrying a cross and denying the self— rule.

Sin— is missing the alignment and reverence of God and his ways; and death is the result of this separation from God’s Spirit, and reverence to his ways (righteousness, his likeness, what he robed us in); and he has given us the way back to reconciling with him— through repentance (a complete turn around in our faculties of spiritual operations within our souls, minds, hearts), when Christ Jesus is respected within, and we join the Holy Spirit— and where once we were two spirits within a vessel— operating independently of one another— now we are aligned and moving as one cohesive entity in spirit— with God’s Spirit at the helm of this ship (person/vessel/soul and body).

Okay…

Let’s summarize some of these points of religion— versus living in the Truth (and he’s a person), where idolatry exists— and our focus is off of the face of God as our spiritual advisor and authority over us— and is placed in some way, shape, or form— on ourselves:

1. Rapture— inward focus on a benefit to ourselves, with a removal from being in body with God and remaining on the earth (or in soul life with Jesus Christ), unto his kingdom not only coming into reign within us— but being about our Father’s business within the heart— and bringing his face to others in evangelism of the full gospel: saving man, truly, in the full gospel of full reconciliation— in spirit, soul, AND body (which means— in earth); as a man now shall live and do life— in a body (this place does not end with heaven or spirit, but in the newly created earth or souls of men.  And he will melt down the elements to get us there: hear ye— enter into Christ Jesus the all consuming fire of God— and let the reformation, new earth [soul] and people of the conversion come forth).  For truly— the only ones who were ‘taken,’ were those who were overtaken by the flood of the dragon (reverenced in Noah’s story of the generation of rebirth).

2. End times prophesy— when he said to keep our eyes on him, looking up to receive our redemption and be saved to the uttermost; and that if we can determine the weather in the sky to understand a storm is coming, and why… Then we, if we are united with the Spirit of the living God— should know what is coming next in the realm of the earth— when either righteous men, or evil men, rule (Proverbs 29:2).  

The only end times prophesy and message I need— is in Christ Jesus himself, and his kingdom reign within me: carnal minds think in literal earthly terms only— whereas a person shall come forward (Jesus) in literal clouds to receive a people unto himself, outside of the earth.  When the Spirit says— Come deeper where I call unto you… and the Spirit discerns the things of the spirit.  Come to me in the elevation— in spirit— where my ways are higher and my thoughts higher than yours of the earth or soul.  Let me with my saints come unto you with the truth— in the power of the truth— with horsepower and swords (word and message of truth) to make you free; that your souls shall be saved to the utmost: spirit first, then soul, then body redeemed.  

For a reign is coming —and it is that of Christ Jesus and/in his people.  And they are these people— because the dragon was overcome within a people, in spirit, and the soul was saved, the new man came forward (in/by Christ Jesus), the new earth was formed— as the old elements were melted down, and New Jerusalem came forward— like a bride (partner) who is adorned (covering in white garment, clean, and ironed out in message and function of now) for her bridegroom.

If we remain carnally focused and religious— having a form of godliness, a form of what sounds right, what feels right, what we desire to be true, but is not— we will miss Christ Jesus, the truth, the message, his Spirit, the union, the salvation, the conversion, the new man coming forward, the kingdom of God’s reign coming in, and a people being made ready (prepared) for the internal wedding of 2 spirits again— that will save our souls to the uttermost; and then cause a millennial reign of Christ to come forward— corporately— that sets this realm on spiritual fire.  

3. Happenings upon the earth themselves— for men’s hearts shall fail them, FOR LOOKING UPON (or into) things that come upon the earth (Luke 21:26): all things that come upon the earth (in literal terms, as there is a literal physical world understanding, and a literal spiritual world understanding of all scripture) —are because evil men and women are ruling and reigning (another kingdom is exalted— that of sin and death)... And that’s the church he’s talking about; for all the scripture is for the covenant holders; those who are to be in covenant with him— who are walking in hypocrisy, and/or irreverence to the living God— bring destruction upon the land.  Why?  Because if we were living right— God would be in rule; and when God is in rule— righteousness reigns.  And when righteousness reigns— godliness walks the earth.  And when godliness lived in truth is real (not spoken, but truly lived within)... then the land and people prosper.

Focus upon earthly happenings— distracts us from how we get out of all the calamity, woe, and rebellion lived.  Returning to the face of our Father— humbly— is the first step to coming out of the reign of the dragon, and into the reign of Christ— in the earth (or souls of men): and this is why the message of the truth of what is religion, the exposing of religion— in ‘man-y’ forms— must come forward in his Spirit, and be told abroad: for the full gospel of the reconciliation of God and his peace in a people cannot come forward to the whole earth… if we do not expose what is to have a form of godliness— but be in spiritual denial within the soul (where the Power of the Spirit is impotent— because man is all powerful, and seated preeminently in power within; where the focus upon the face of our Father has vacated the building; and a different kingdom doth reign within).

4. Positions of prominence or title in the kingdom of God: for it is God who sets up kings (or authorities and jurisdictions) and God who casts them down, or removes them: for truly— if they have only lips that do speak of vanity reverence unto God in flatteries… but the inward conversion is not come forth… Then God will not continue to strive with this man always— but will remove him from his place of authority (candle stick), for this man serves another god, brings in another way, focuses the people on someone or something else— not God and his reign… And that man shall be replaced by another in the heavens (spirit alignment with his as most High), and earth (the soul, faculties, and operation of within a man in body).  For truly— those who overcome the flood of the dragon within— shall be saved.  And we are saved and overcome— by the blood of the Lamb (his life given to us within), and the word (the message) of our testimony together— at the mercy seat of the ark of the covenant —upheld.  

It’s not men who are worshiped (focused upon) but God.  For a God— is worshiped.  It’s why I will not be a part of the religious clubs/sects/focuses that place me, or them, in any preeminent (most regarded and focused upon) way: my loyalties will remain true to the One True God AND HIS KINGDOM REIGNING within my heart (mind, will, faculties of operation, and focus of).

The pharisaical of his day failed miserably with spiritual life.  He stood before them, speaking directly to them, highlighting how they missed the Father entirely in spirit form— and thus were walking in a form of godliness (as they memorized and recited scripture); but failed to be in actual reverent union to the Holy Spirit of God; and instead— upheld a reign (kingdom) of their own within and without: for their kingdom— was of this world, and influence, and authority, and performance, and actions, and prominence, and indulgences of self-focus and worship.  

We are to hail from another kingdom— ANOTHER’S KINGDOM; and his kingdom territory— is to be our spiritual facilities within us in operation of his Spirit at the helm.  His battle rages on— but to save a people inwardly— that their focus should now turn out toward him, within the heart of man.  That the world he is desiring to save— is the internal world of man firstly— then the outward image of the earth shall follow, as he comes to reestablish it in the physical literal (of dirt and land): we are taken from a measure of the earth.  When we shall reform— the Romans 8 children of God in which the world is waiting on to come forward in maturity, the manifestation of… through a conversion within, whereas we are desiring to do life with God revered, and his kingdom reign with us (righteous reign)... THEN SHALL THE OUTWARD EARTH IN TOTALITY BE SET FREE INTO THE TRUTH AS WELL: and her elements shall be melted down and reestablished— as we have been.

Religion tells us that we are waiting on God to do something… When the kingdom of God has already come unto us (nigh), and the Lord is waiting on us to RUN AFTER HIM and EXALT HIM IN HIS REIGN ‘within’ US.  And if/when we would in mass— coming out of religion and performances of actions and experiences… and truly walk in Christ Jesus, and Jesus truly walk us out… THEN shall the earth know the reign of Christ Jesus— IN HIS SAVING GLORY— AS HE COMES FORTH TO LIBERATE A PEOPLE; cleaning them up in his righteousness, and fulfilling righteousness (his) in them!!

Religion tells you ‘it’s some day in the proverbial future’ that we are to come into the knowledge (being aware of and living in) the Truth: but he is now— and he’s bringing his liberating message and invitation to join him, serve him, unite to him, and come back into the Truth; so that we can know the love of God again, know righteousness again, know one another again— in the truth (to know no man hereafter— by looking at them through the eyes of the flesh nature— but to know them henceforth by the Spirit): and if/when we will— shall we come into a world (where we will be forever, in the new earth, not in heaven alone) where all has been made new— by far— and large (over all).

5. Experiences devoid of reformation/salvation of the internal— both spiritual and soul conversion and reconciliation.

6. Events upon the earth in/of governments of men and their conflicts, as well as people’s state of earthly living situations— exalted above God, or over God’s life and kingdom reign in exaltation within man: wrong focus, religious focus— or otherwise known as— being a spirit being focused on another person/spirit, and their message/word and emphasis— that is not God, his kingdom, him as focused upon, nor what his capabilities and will is.

7. Hypocrisy— the knowledge of God and his kingdom— read or heard, but not done (a hearer only, not a doer of the Word); a lack of transformation in the faculties of man— which is born of spirit/Spirit (a messenger with a message in the spirit realm, or reign of spirit/Spirit, the internal essence of being).  

8. Lying— in self, toward self, and then others. To love a lie— is to love the impostor.  To love the other option of being/spirit (anti-christ); where the eyes of one’s heart are led of the self carnal nature— and darkness still covers the earth (soul), and is formless and void still yet (needing to come back into the form of God and godliness/righteousness once again, and out of vanity— or the empty pursuit of the self— with all it can obtain as it feasts itself upon all the world has to offer.  Because it sounds good and appeals to our flesh— but is not Christ Jesus, the way, truth, and life of God in exaltation.  In this— we are the deceived (self focused) deceiving others (to self focus or exalt).  And in this— we follow our fathers before us who exalted a form of godliness, but denied the Spirit and his form within us— and did love a lie (carnality and separation), and to make a lie (move within ways God does not— for he is the Truth, the true reality).

I desire for us to come out of darkness— as to not partake in her plagues.  Whose plagues— the great whore of Babylon: those who have a way within them that still focuses on man and not God, who have their eyes of their heart not upon God singly— but upon themselves as god (bride, sons, priests), seated there within and on the throne of heart focus— as god— seated above or in place of the one True God, Maker, and Husband of us.

For these loved the lie— and to make a lie (what is not true).  For it is not the truth— that we are truly the most high Spirit/God.  It is not true that the bible is about us— it’s about turning to the face of God once again.  That the priesthood stands for itself— for it does not— it stands with and for the Lord Jesus Christ.  That the sons of God are focused upon themselves to create themselves (develop themselves) into what they think they ought to be (reasoning for themselves, what is right in their ‘own eyes’); for the true offspring of God— that grow from the Main Branch who are not cut off— are those who grow in and from Christ Jesus— as they yield themselves to him, and are reformed by him.

To love a lie— is not only to say unto true things: it is to LIVE UNTRUTH, in exaltation of ‘another,’ as god most high.  This is a deception, a lie, and it kills (separates and estranges) men from the living God: because man’s focus was off of the face of his/her Father, and lived not, nor loved not— THE TRUTH.  And that is not upholding a covenant with the living/loving/truthful God and Father of us.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 

"And with all deceivableness [G539: delusion] of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not— the love of— the truth, that they might be saved."

True religion is to care for those who have no spiritual (or soul) Father— parent, and no spiritual (or soul) husband: truly to care for those who are ‘without—’ beginning first within us to have God as our Father and Husband, spiritually— then to those others who are outside of reunion to the Father and Husband of us— in Christ Jesus; and then— in any way they have need of in the earth (or soul life).  And a man who is walking in true religion— or true UNION with the Spirit of the living God has the eyes of the heart reunited with God and his Spirit now speaking and leading and exemplifying true LIFE within them now; as that man gives reverence unto the Lord (husband and headship) God (the ruler in us) once again— coming all the way back around— revolutionarily— from one kingdom reign… to Another (him):  ‘let YOUR kingdom come Lord Jesus,’ —inside— this person/people, where there is a world of territory conquered in love and Truth once again.

There are two kingdoms at bat— within man— until that man is liberated into reverence of God and his reign once again— within each man.  And sin is— is missing the alignment and reverence of God and his ways; and death is the result of this separation from God’s Spirit, and reverence to his ways (righteousness, his likeness, what he robed us in).  BUT— he has given us the way back to reconciling with him— through repentance (a complete turn around in our faculties of spiritual operations within our souls, minds, hearts), when Christ Jesus is respected within, and we join the Holy Spirit; where once we were two spirits within a vessel— operating independently of one another— but now we are aligned and moving as one cohesive entity in spirit— with God’s Spirit at the helm of this ship (person/vessel/soul and body): SAVED TO THE UTMOST— into mature union.

So…

What/who’s example are we following??  Whose paradigm model are we ACTUALLY following?? What Jesus exemplified and established— or what satan has taken over in us, and what we call ‘the church’ now??

Religion— is a form of looking and sounding like union with God and his kingdom of righteousness— but in truth is a counterfeit that will keep man focused elsewhere— not upon the holy living God.  And if satan cannot get us in outright— easy to perceive rebellion— he will subtly deceive us by using our own hearts (minds, wills, emotions, desires, thinking and reasoning— based in spirit alignment— which means what a spirit/Spirit is bringing forth in message and purpose/pursuit).  And when he does this, when the self is in rule through the seed/fruit of satan in a man— religion, antichrist, focus diverted from the face of our Father comes forth: and we usually, by far and large— LIKE IT.  For these things serve the pride of life, the eyes of the flesh (the heart of the flesh nature): and we call it— the kingdom of God; when it is the furthest thing from: it is the kingdom of satan that we have taken darkness and wrapped in a robe of deceptive light.

Romans 1:25

“Who changed the truth of God into a lie— and worshiped and served the creature— more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”

2 Corinthians 11:14

“"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."

Isaiah 5:21

“Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!"

Proverbs 29:18

“"Where there is no vision, the people perish.”

Hosea 4:6

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge— I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me…”

When we remain cloaked in what satan accomplished in the garden of the heart to begin with— and our eyes are turned to ourselves— and not toward the Lord God again… We shall worship the beast (carnality of man, led of satan/self), we shall be overcome of darkness— instead of overcoming darkness with the Light (who has been given unto us)... we shall change the truth into a lie— we shall make things about us and not God and his reign in us in righteousness… we shall worship and serve the self (the creature) MORE THAN (that means we, a little, worship the one true God)... and we walk as satan— who was transformed into the light of an angelic messenger of the covenant— but upheld it in truth, not, for we changed what that meant— ‘to uphold covenant’ and so brought another message of diversion to people (away from the face and throne of God in true exaltation) … brought woe and calamity upon ourselves in this, as we made ourselves wise in our own perspective (not upon God and the truth), and made ourselves shrewd (astute judgment— with a root definition of— ‘evil in nature or character’ and cunning in it) in our own vision/perception/beliefs/sight/understanding… where we are now in the perishing (and he DOES NOT DESIRE WE WOULD BE) because we have no vision (spiritual sight on the face of our Father) any longer— but diverted to our own face, topics, desires, pursuits (by reasoning for ourselves what is right— good and evil, being our own gods)... 

And in this… his people are destroyed (taking us all the way back to the Genesis discussion— where the Destroyer comes around to steal the truth from us (lead us astray from Jesus), destroy that union— whereby we are in reverence to him, and kill us entirely (separate us entirely)... BY THE LUSTS OF OUR OWN PURSUITS, FOCUS, DESIRES, INCLINATIONS, THOUGHTS, AND REASONING: the heart of man.  And with this focus and pursuit (askew from God)... we reject the knowledge (the acknowledging of God and his Spirit, to reign in us) … and thusly… he rejects us from being priests of his (in the Order of Melchizedek— for the Righteous King [which is what Melchizedek means] was not reverenced— but another god was).

And even after the millennial reign of Christ Jesus demonstrated in the earth (when satan is bound), there is a refusal to accept Christ's reign by some, where many people choose to follow satan again —once he is released— proving a deep-seated desire to turn away from God.

Religion that kills is (and has been) in our ranks for some time.  EVEN AFTER CHRIST:

Paul told us so when he said to Peter, essentially— who put this yoke upon you again??  And again when he referenced bondage.

Galatians 3:1

“O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been evidently set forth, crucified among you?”

Galatians 4:9

“But now, after that you have known God— or rather are known of God— how do you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements [G4747: orderly arrangement, fundamentals, rudiment principles], whereunto you desire again to be in bondage?”

Galatians 5:1

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free— and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”

Galatians 2:11, 14 (Paul writes)

“But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 14 When I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter, before them all— If you, being a Jew, live after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews (meaning— you don’t follow the letter of the written law that kills anymore— but after the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus), then why do you compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews (still in bondage with a yoke)?

And then Peter himself states— Acts 15:10 “Now therefore —why do you tempt God, as to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear (the written law– versus the Law of Life found in Christ Jesus and his Spirit now leading us in all things)?”

And Jesus brought forward how religion kills with a yoke of bondage in the book of his own Revelation— of the latter days (which truly has been all along, but definitely since Christ Jesus) condition of ‘the church,’ as we know it (not as his true church is— the truly separated out of the fall, and into his love and truth— church).  

Revelation 22:15

“For without (outside the kingdom of God and heaven) are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves— and makes a lie [G5579: falsehood].”  

Revelation 21:27 “And there shall in no wise enter into it —any thing that defiles, neither whatsoever works abomination, or makes a lie [G5579: falsehood]: but they who are written in the Lamb's book of life.”   

Revelation 20:15 “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Because they did not willingly go back into the All Consuming Fire that is God and his righteousness— to be reformed, melted down back into its elements)  

Revelation 2:14-16

“But I have a few things against you, because you have there, those that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak— to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things (think spiritually, now) sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication (think spiritually— whom we are given to within).  So have you also those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes— which I hate. Repent; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will fight against those— with the sword of my mouth (nothing stands before the truth, it all falls).”

Revelation 3:15-16

“I know your works [G2041: actions and deeds], that you are neither cold nor hot: I would that you were cold or hot— So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot— I will spue you out of my mouth.”  {For faith without works— is dead, like the body without a spirit (James 2:14-26: are we listening— without his Spirit in our bodies in operation— we are still yet dead, estranged, in darkness, living a lie, deceived— whilst having a profession of faith— but with a form lacking conversion within.}

Revelation 3:1-3

“And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that has the seven Spirits of God (our tutors to teach us his ways), and the seven stars; I know your works, that you have a name— (that says) that you live (or are in Jesus Christ and the truth), but are dead (estranged— focused elsewhere, and in exaltation of the estranged self and spirits of— outside of the truth upheld). Be watchful, and— STRENGTHEN THE THINGS THAT REMAIN— THAT ARE READY TO DIE (this means— get focused properly on God and his reign of righteousness coming INTO us upheld— and LET THE REST OF SELF AND SATAN AND LIES— DIE [carry the cross, deny the self]: for I have not found your works perfect before God [to be made replete— that is literally to cram (a net), level up (a hollow), or (figuratively) to furnish or imbue diffusely by influence, to satisfy, execute, be finished, verified, accomplished, (be) complete, end, fill up, fulfil (be make) full, (come) fully preached— perfectly supplied]. Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch [G1127: awaken and keep vigilance] —I will come on you as (like) a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.”

But— those who ‘overcome’ (the temptation to live for self, and focus or worship thusly) through faith— are promised to be clothed in white and have their names kept in the book of life.

Revelation 3:5: Promises that overcomers will be clothed in white and their names will not be erased from the Book of Life. Revelation 13:8 & 17:8: Indicates that those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book (written before the foundation of the world) are kept from worshipping the beast. Revelation 21:27: confirms that only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life may enter the New Jerusalem. Revelation 12:11: states believers overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.

👆 THESE ARE ALL SPIRITUAL REFERENCES— based in our union within to Christ Jesus, the truth, the way, HIS kingdom— as we align with his Spirit, and reverence God— well— AS GOD once again.

Revelation 3:5 —clothed and in white with names in his list/book/scroll… Revelation 13:8 & 17:8 —will not worship the beast (666— total carnality, nor that system of Babylon)... Revelation 21:27 —these enter into the state of being and place of New Jerusalem— like a bride— adorned for her Husband… Revelation 12:11 —and these people overcome the beast (dragon, serpent, scorpion, etc) by the life of Jesus Christ (the blood/life given) and by the word of their (Jesus and that person, the Truth and that person, the Union) of their testimony (telling of covenant and requirements of marriage covenant— upheld— within and without [in spirit and soul/body]).

The Book of Revelation warns that those who do not live in the way, truth, and life of Jesus Christ—defined by faith, obedience, and overcoming sin (or missing the mark or reunion to his Spirit, conduct, kingdom way of righteousness— with the form regained through reformation conversion to our inner faculties and spiritual alliances and allegiances) —they are excluded from the New Jerusalem, and face spiritual separation. Because they did not rejoin him in their souls— after spiritual rebirth was offered to men— but had a form of godliness (religion) but denied the work of the power of the Spirit of the living God within them— and in carrying their cross that would crucify the self (pride of life to govern and focus the self— unto self): thus— they did not become New: the new man in Christ Jesus, new Jerusalem (the city of the people of shalom/peace— the reunification to God and righteousness in the truth— through repentance), through the new law— the Law of Life— found in Christ Jesus and his leading, nor brought into the new priesthood, via a new way being walked within— whereby man does not make a lie any longer, nor love a lie any longer (falsehood/hypocrisy to the truth and righteousness of Christ Jesus) —THE REUNION FULFILLED— FOR REAL— TO RIGHTEOUSNESS and THE KING OF—  as most highly regarded/exalted/preeminent WITHIN MAN (truth lived ‘within,’ is to live in Christ Jesus— as he is exalted).

What is religion? 

Religion is where there were two different Kingdoms in the heart— and man was supposed to do something about that other reign or rule (office of authority) —whereby only One would remain— that of Jesus Christ and his reign; but instead— another kingdom (not his) prevailed… and overcoming— did not take place.  Whereas he desired for us to be saved by his Kingship, his Husbandry, His Salvation of returning to the face of our Father (and losing our face or focus of heart): and thus— His kingdom come— in earth (soul) as it is in heaven (spirit): for truly— there is only ONE GOD— and it is not us— if we are truly his.

His kingdom is to be ‘come,’ or arrive— and in ruling and reigning in a people.  His kingdom— via the ALL POWERFUL GOD AND SPIRIT ELOHIM SUPREME COMING FORWARD IN US (in all our faculties of spiritual life in our souls) —AND TAKE BACK TERRITORY FROM SATAN (self exalted, that benefits by twisting things to suit the self— even scripture— as emphasized by Christ’s plight in the wilderness— where our JOINING HIM WITHIN— shall cast out satan [and exaltation of]).  Do you think Jesus wrestled satan within the carnal nature— as he spoke and offered him everything if he would ‘serve himself’ as he desired— but not as the Father was leading him by Spirit into??  I do.)

The people of God— time and time again— turned AWAY from God, literally and solely, as their focus— above all other focuses (more than); and in doing this— they fell into self exaltation (idolatry of their own person and faculties given to do what thou wilt); and in this idolatry— they perished again and again: all because they would not walk in the Holy Fire that is God, WILLINGLY— truly from a pure heart to do so: be in alignment with the Holy Living God walking in the ways of God: and thus— the men loved darkness more than the light— and perished (or were separated from living union with God), because they would not repent (turn the eyes of their heart around again— and hoist up God in exaltation: he did not become the apple of the eyes of their heart— in truth, but instead— in hypocrisy.

Who have we REALLY TRULY been following— the church in religion— OR CHRIST JESUS??  To each person let this question ring out.  For only in the facing of the truth within us— what we are truly operating in, under, and why— can we know which category of goat (doing own thing with a form of godliness— but living in denial of the Spirit’s reformation and union, and under a cloak of light obscuring/shading/twisted), or a sheep— who follows the Lamb where’er he goes (on the narrow path and way of union to his Spirit of righteousness… the truth lived). Whose paradigm (example) and leading have we been internally following?  Do we follow the men and women of the church MORE THAN we do Christ Jesus, his Spirit, his truth, and his way— WITHIN US??  

Because his example— what he walked out spiritual, and what he taught— was that a man must come to know his Father/Maker/Creator once again— internally— and let that union truly transform a man; and when he comes forward to do this— that man shall be saved to the uttermost— FROM HIMSELF, DEATH, ESTRANGEMENT, satan, RELIGION, FALSEHOOD, EVIL, HYPOCRISY, SELF-EXALTATION OR FOCUS OR WORSHIP… And this man shall be BORN AGAIN/ANEW: and the ‘new’ man, creation, law/conduct, priesthood, Jerusalem, earth and heavens (spirit and soul— spiritually speaking), sons, servants of the most high God, and a finished bride shall come forth— a people prepared of the Lord for the Lord, and in union to the One True God: truth lived in union and reverence to our Father, Husband, Savior, King, and Lord of us.

We often talk about his kingdom come— on earth/in earth, as it is in heaven… but do we understand that is a spiritual reference— not a carnal one?  And we shall not actually have him boots on the ground walking around with us in the earth— until he saves the souls to the utmost, after spiritual salvation comes to us— as we join him to defeat the kingdom reign of darkness within our hearts first… as we give ourselves to him in order for him to come forward and OVERCOME THE DARKNESS WITH THE LIGHT OF THE TRUTH AND HIS LOVE.  That his kingdom coming— is not of this world, or found ‘out there.’ And if any man tells you that— believe him not… HE IS RIGHT HERE WITHIN YOU AND UNTO YOU— RIGHT NOW— in the Spirit, in his truth, and in HIS LOVE for you to REJOIN HIM in bonds of love and truth.  

The deception is thinking we are apart from him… the deception is reverencing him NOT within— when we can… the deception is keeping our focus on any one or anything that is not him— in our faculties of spiritual conduct within living souls of men: that is religion.  And he is come to DESTROY THE WORKS OF DARKNESS— IN HIS CHURCH (that is religion and hypocrisy and ways of estrangement): for he desires none would eternally perish (be estranged from him).  

Are we focusing on his kingdom coming in reign within us— firstly— and then the populace of the world— as we go forth to bring the good news of the gospel of PEACE (reconciliation and harmony in truth and love) back to the others?  Because that was Jesus’ model.

We talk about doing the ‘new’ thing he desires to do— but are we?? Or are we stuck to the old thing (bonded to the old), that is in the form of religion— not his kingdom or his example?  Have we fallen into a church model that is not what his actual kingdom and heaven models out— that the saints ‘above’ walk in?  And if so— do we desire to change and conform to HIS KINGDOM coming into ‘rule and reign’ within us— as we come out of our own (reign/rule/headship/customs/reasoning/actions lived) within— and then bring that to all the others??  

Because the Lord Jesus Christ and I (and all those with him and me, together) —are on a mission to DESTROY THE SEPARATION (even in spiritual ways within the church people— whereby a lie is still lived, another god is still at the helm, hypocrisy is being walked out [headship battles with his life, way, and truth]... Where all he desires is that— if we would HUMBLE ‘ourselves’ INTO THE TRUTH, and toward him personally... He would save us in that union, restore us to our form after him, unite with his kingdom (people and culture), and live in and with him forevermore: but truly— the choice is ours to make.  But what if people do not know how to do this, or what to do, or how to approach him, or what the fall really is— or how to be saved by reuniting with Jesus in his way, truth, and life?

Well— his saints come forward, busy about Father’s kingdom business with him, in the way, truth, and life of Jesus— as the Holy Spirit and the 7 spirits of God bring forward the truth in them, convert them (correct and align and bring them into the truth)... having his kingdom come and save the world (of their heart, mind, will, and ways— uniting with his Spirit again for eternity)... And then they bring it to rest of the flock— and bid them to come and pay the cost to get their own oil of intimacy with the truth, way, and his life: his priesthood of sons, servants, and partners who joined to him and his way, truth, and life… come forward in heaven and earth… unto a people… whom he desires to MAKE FREE— as they too shall come ‘into the light, love, truth, way— righteousness’ as well… under the Most High God, Maker, Creator and Father of us… As the messenger’s of THE COVENANT come forward… unto a lost and gainseeking people who are dead in their sins and trespasses; who need to come into the light— the truth, be washed of it, aligned with Him, found, raised from the dead— estranged lie living way of falsehood— and come back into true form and union with the Almighty— in reverence to him— who shall seek for ‘self’ no longer (gainseeking, personified gains sought after— Mammon), but who have the Lord holy as their Head— no longer living in sin and death— BUT LIFE, AND LIFE ABUNDANTLY (this is a reunion and respectful upholding of God in his Spirit and way— within man again).

There are a couple posts from one brother in Christ, and one sister in Christ— that I would like to read; that will remind us of who and what we are to be facing— with the eyes of our heart once again: as we repent— and come back to the Truth (and he’s a person, with a way, and a kingdom).

First— something brother Robert Bales had brought out in one of my videos in the past (with a soldier in the picture of the video); that he brought out once again to a group of men, in a small group, at church one evening.  There will be (parenthesis) here and there— as the Lord has asked of me— to place his interjections of thought and reference, into brother Rob’s shared posting/vision; as well as the sister in Christ, her post, following his.

Good morning (name redacted)

I’m strongly being led of the Lord to share the following revelation with you that I received a few years ago. To be honest it rocked me to my core then, as it still does to this day. I’ve never shared with anyone in our midst ( brethren ) except for a very brief description with the I-Team during our time leading up to the event. The revelation has grown in knowledge and understanding over the years, as the lord has brought more truth over time. After last night (he was at church) I was traveling home, as always, and I reflected on the time at our table, and I received a word from the Lord about the night (discernment). At the table last night, and on the way home, he was bringing this revelation to the forefront of my mind.  With all that being said— the following is what he wants me to share. 

Mistaken Identity

“Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea. “The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name.”

Exodus 15:1-3 

In July of 2023 I received a vision from the Lord while in intercession over an upcoming gathering of men of the Southwestern Ohio & Northern Kentucky (area). This Kingdom Mission and purpose was solely aimed at going after —the Hearts of Men, to become Beloved Sons/Warrior-men for Christ.

To be honest— the vision caught me off guard as the Lord revealed the truth of what was happening within this movement.

In the vision I was shown a soldier who had just been dropped out of an airplane onto— The Battlefield. The imagery and details of this battlefield that I was shown was littered with dead bodies (soldiers). Those who had gone before him, only to be taken out shortly after being deployed.  As I began to get a clearer description of this soldier up close— his face was overcome with fear and panic. His breathing was rapid as sweat was pouring down his face, as he was running from the demonic. As he was running I noticed he  had yet to even remove his parachute— as the enemy was just about to overcome him. And there was a patch on his chest of a Rainbow (Pride).

As my eyes glanced beyond the soldier in the distance, in a rock dwelling, I saw what appeared to be a concrete bunker in the hillside. I was given a closer glimpse of this soldier, whose demeanor was in stark contrast to the previous one. I noticed he was calm, cool, and collected— standing tall! He was surveying the same battlefield from afar. He was wearing a communication headset and watching over the landscape (Janet popping in here— remember that landscape of the vision was referenced in the beginning of this post— in Genesis— where satan came to afflict and separate us from ‘seeing’ and coupling with God within) assessing the enemies positions, strongholds and such (as satan does— meaning— observes from the spirit realm too, but this man, soldier is doing union with the Lord God). Thus developing a plan from above (the realm of spirit) to take out the enemy positions. 

The interpretation of this at that time was that of the Lord revealing that many are ‘coming in his name,’ but yet haven’t gone through the proper training & equipping required to take on such a mission (as coming in his name). Good hearted intentions— but the old saying goes “you will have fought bravely yet died quickly”.  Most notably— for no other reason than doing it out of one’s own strength— outside of the Father’s will (and then power) —which brings us outside of his protection.

In contrast, the soldier in the bunker was one who had spent much time in the secret place being trained up in warfare (battling the other kingdom). He has developed an intimacy with his Supreme commander above— hence the communication device (he wore). His battlefield vision Binoculars (his sight of heart) were representative of his Spiritual eyes being able to see beyond the veil (because this one is in Christ, which is beyond the flesh veil now).... through the Natural ….and into what’s taking place Spiritually (in Christ). He is at rest and at peace —even in the midst of chaos— for he knows his God and knows his assignment/role. He sees what The Father shows him, and he hears what The Father speaks to him, and he moves accordingly— in the Holy Spirit as he is led. All of which is an embodiment of what psalm 91 promises for those who abide, dwell, and find rest in him.

Reaching this level doesn’t just happen, there is a cost— as we know.

One more thing he’s wanting me to share. In the description of the landscape. It was darkened like dusk. The sun was setting in the background. There was an emphasis on the timing for this type of warrior (soldier) to step forth. The hour was getting late (a reference to work out your salvation, now, while it is yet day, and he still can be found— for in eternal estrangement— he cannot be found).

Some confirmation from the Lord came through the day of the event. Unbeknownst to me when I arrived at the event —which had a tremendous turnout. One of the festivities planned beforehand was a guy jumping out of a parachute onto the church grounds.  No joke!!

The heart of the Father is that we would return to, in him— and come out from her (the whoredom of Babylonian lifestyle— apart from him: Religion: Revelation 18:4).  And part of that is to recognize it— we have brought that forward today— and will continue to do so.  The other part is to come back into union with him, his truth, his love, his person… and this next post will talk to us about how the Lord does that with us, as he is given to us— to do so: when our faculties are once again born anew unto him— within.

Next— a post from a sister in Christ named Brenda Carriere Nash: there will be (parenthesis) here and there— as the Lord has asked of me— to place his interjections of thought and reference, into what she has brought forward (for I am under him, so clarity is given in full as he leads).

_____

Brenda Carriere Nash — “Sin Is Not What We Thought”

For many of us the gospel we inherited was deeply shaped by fear. Sin was often understood primarily as bad behavior— humanity was portrayed as deeply corrupt and God was frequently presented as angry, wrathful, and needing satisfaction— before forgiveness could be given (Janet here— in truth— one way, it was— as Jesus had to come and fulfill Calvary— which satisfied the Father in his sacrifice of love; but it was nothing we could do). Many of us learned to relate to Him as though He were perpetually disappointed— unless we stopped this, surrendered that, obeyed more fully, and proved our devotion through constant submission (Janet here again— truthfully— we do have to hand him all the estrangement and lack of union— but truly it is that disappointment with God [lack of coming to him, under him, to learn of him, as we are to join him again] that needs rectification, and once we do this walk with him— his Truth makes us free of punishment or harsh treatment— in the light of his love and union to his person), even though He saved us while we were yet dead in our trespasses (GLORY TO GOD— in our death state— he comes to save us and reconcile us). Over time, that framework began to unravel for me in the light of grace.

As the years passed, I began to notice how easily that atmosphere could produce criticism and cynicism— not only in me— but in many others as well. Our focus could become more centered on correcting, rebuking, and warning people— than on revealing Christ (absolutely). At times, fault-finding— was mistaken for discernment, while sinlessness and perfectionism— were treated as the evidence of genuine salvation. Even prophecies framed by conditions, and patterned almost exclusively after Old Testament paradigms, often came to be regarded as the truest biblical model (and now we live in Christ Jesus— under the conducting of the Spirit of Life himself— not requirements of old biblical law, by the letter of, that kills— that no man could keep flawlessly; but I will say— the things God taught man have spiritual understanding a value to be learned from; but we are not held to the letter of the old law anymore— PRAISE JESUS; we are those ruled by his Spirit— as children of God).

Yet beneath much of this, I now believe there was a deeper distortion at work. The emphasis on character development was not wrong in itself— but it was often presented through the lens of severity, introspection, harsh self-examination, and relentless correction. In that kind of environment— the beauty of being a loving, genuine, and kind person could easily be overlooked— as though tenderness were weakness, and mercy— a compromise. But right from the beginning of my walk, the Lord revealed to me that I was to walk in extravagant love. That word became a plumbline in my life, even before I fully understood how much of the culture around me had been shaped by fear, suspicion, and performance, and how deeply contagious those things can be.

At the same time, I can understand how many arrived at that view; because at first glance— much of the Old Testament can seem to reinforce that very image. But when Christ becomes the interpretive center— the veil begins to lift— and the Father is revealed with greater clarity. Without that unveiling— salvation can easily be reduced to escaping punishment; and the Christian life can become little more than an exhausting attempt to manage our failures, weaknesses, imperfections, and bad behaviors— while learning to live under the weight of constant surrender, submission, and obedience (the Lord will show, point out, and softly invite us into union with his Spirit— it is conviction, not condemnation).

Yet when we listen closely to the apostle Paul, especially in Romans, we begin to see that he is describing something far larger than human moral weakness. Paul does not speak of sin merely as a list of behaviors that need correcting. He speaks of it as something that reigns. “Sin reigned in death” (Romans 5:21). That language reveals something profound. Sin behaves less like isolated moral failures and more like a dominating force that distorts the life of creation itself. To understand what Paul means, we must return to the beginning of the human story (the Genesis 😀).

In Genesis— humanity is created in the image and likeness of God and placed within the garden of divine fellowship (Gen. 1:26–27). Adam and Eve did not begin life searching for God. They began in communion with the Source of life. Their identity was not something they struggled to discover; it was something they lived from. They were not striving to become acceptable— but were already held in union, innocence, and belonging.

Then another voice entered the garden (this is the battleground).

A dark and subtle intelligence spoke into the mind of Eve and planted a distortion within the human story. There was just enough truth in it to make it believable: “You will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:5). Yet this was the great irony of the temptation. Adam and Eve were already created in the image and likeness of God, and they already knew good. The deepest deception in the garden was not simply the temptation to disobey— but the distortion of identity (meaning— evil was about to be introduced— the self without God’s union— essentially a being that knows, now, what it is like to live independently, spiritually, apart from God). Eve did not reach for something she truly lacked; she reached because she was persuaded that something essential was still missing (and truly— the only thing that was— out of all of that verse spoken— is evil… they did not know evil, nor did God desire us to experience separation). The lie suggested that likeness to God was still something to grasp for— rather than something they had already received.

Up until that moment, humanity knew only the goodness of life in communion with God. Evil was not part of their experience. How could it be? There is no evil in God, and in union with Him everything was good (1 John 1:5; James 1:13). But when the falsehood was believed— when Eve listened to the voice of darkness (the voice of separation) —perception became distorted (vision, eye-sight, perceiving God became endarkened, obfuscated, obscured— but he was still there, and always has been). And in that distortion— in that reigning force— Eve disobeyed the voice of God and partnered with the voice of evil.

In Genesis 3:11, God asks, “Who told you that you were naked?” In other words, whose voice, outside of what I have spoken over you, did you listen to and believe? Who told you something contrary to your identity? Who taught you to be ashamed of the one I formed in My image and likeness, and to fear and hide from the very Presence that had only ever given you life?

Shame appeared where innocence once lived. Fear replaced openness, and humanity began hiding from the very Presence that had always been its home. Notice who hid. It was not God. What entered the human story in that moment was not merely an isolated act of bad behavior— but a fractured way of seeing —born from deception (God could not be seen very well any longer— the apple of the eye changed, and satan knew this would happen— it was his goal). The lie distorted perception, and from that distortion came disobedience, fear, and the— illusion of separation— from the Source of life (and just to be clear— we are not separated from his Spirit— but we can rebel and not obey his Spirit, and thusly be in separation spiritually speaking in our faculties— even when his Spirit is with us). In that distortion, they could not be invited to eat from the tree of life (cannot eat from the life of death, and eat of the tree of Life at that same time— one table or the other, one affiliation or the other; and the Lord’s desire was to rescue us— THEN have us remain in that rescued salvation state perpetually— IN HIM [the tree of Life]; truly— this is to be in Christ— to come back and rejoin the Father in what Christ made possible of the way; when we shall join to Christ as a bride joins a bridegroom; and in that— we can join our Father again— for Jesus did union with our Father perfectly, and did what we could not, to make the way: the rest is up to each of us to simply join him in his love and truth— and reverence him being the Head again, or the one who leads us, teaches, and raises us up into whole union— returning to like same as him, as he rescues us to the uttermost).

This is where Romans 5 becomes so important. Paul writes that “sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin” and that “death reigned” from Adam onward (Romans 5:12, 14). He does not describe the garden merely as the site of one unfortunate moral failure. He describes the beginning of a reign. What began as deception in the garden —became dominion in history. A lie believed— became a trespass enacted— and through that rupture— sin and death spread through the human story. This is why Paul describes sin as a reigning power; and why later he can say, “Sin, seizing the opportunity… produced in me all kinds of coveting” (Romans 7:8). Sin is not merely what we do wrong— it is a power that distorts desire, darkens perception, and produces disorder within the old creation.

And yet Paul does not leave us in Adam. In Romans 5:15–20, he immediately begins to contrast Adam and Christ. If through one trespass— sin and death entered and reigned; then through the obedience of the One— grace and life now begin to reign all the more. Notice that it is about reigning again.

Where deception once shaped the human story— another voice has now been heard. Where one trespass opened humanity to the reign of sin and death— Christ has opened the way for grace, righteousness, and life. This is why the story of Scripture does not end with the dominion of the lie.

This is why the opening proclamation of Jesus carries such depth: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). The word translated repent carries the sense of metanoia—a changed mind, a renewed way of seeing, a turning from distortion into truth. Jesus is not merely demanding sorrow for moral failure, but summoning humanity to— think again, to see again, and to awaken to the nearness of God’s reign. The Kingdom above all kingdoms has drawn near. In Christ— the reign of grace has entered the human story, confronting the old dominion of sin and death —with the life of God Himself; and that voice reveals that sin was never the deepest truth about humanity or the greatest problem. Agreeing with the distortion was.

So, to understand how Christ confronts this distortion, we must first reconsider something many of us were taught to fear: the wrath of God (and wrath— truly— is the "passion" of God; for he is very passionate that none should perish— but that all would repent— and be saved).

It’s not that NOTHING is expected of us— something is— but that something is— joining Christ Jesus, his truth, his way of righteousness exalted again, and letting his person reign in us— bringing us back into affiliations with his love and grace; whereby the other kingdom reign (us in waywardness) is dealt with, religion killed, punishment for our indiscretions— eliminated in the love of Christ Jesus, affiliations with dark spirits— eradicated in the light of his love and truth— upheld, the dragon— defeated, the beast— defeated, the whore of religion— killed out of us, the harshness— healed in his love, the estrangement— killed and the soul of man recovered in his spiritual presence, and the true gospel of peace coming forward in a people who DESIRE FOR GOD’S KINGDOM REIGN TO COME UNTO THEM.

We are expected to do something— and that something is to return to God, seek and exalt his face— the face of our Father once again— where he is becoming the apple of the eyes of our heart; as we lean in, behold him, speak gently with him (and he with us), letting his hand hone us, mold us, and conform our interior once again to as he is— out from the lie (distortion and separation) —into the truth, through grace and forgiveness (in Jesus) —as we remember God, godliness, our true identity, and union to the Lover of our eternal souls.

It’s not hard to understand— but it has been A BUGGER TO COME OUT OF.  My hope is this— that we shall see what satan/the serpent’s goal was all along: to hide God from our awares by obfuscating the Light with his darkness of self-estranged nature (evil).  But that we were always with God, he’s always around— calling to us to come out of hiding, and to come back to he who is Life and life abundantly.  Where we can LIVE AGAIN IN HIS LOVE, and union of, AND COME OUT OF PERFORMANCE SEEKING BEHAVIOR… And just LET THE KING (our rightness) LOVE US AND LEAD US AGAIN, within.  And as we do— HE SHALL CHANGE US FROM GLORY STATE TO GLORY STATE— as he raises us up (resurrects us, and raises us as a father raises a son).

His desire is the same as it has always been. Satan entered the picture and distorted our identity, and caused the eyes of our hearts to wander.  BUT— we can turn back to beholding the face of our Father at any time!  And if/when we do— OUR REDEMPTION HAS DRAWN NIGH, THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS COME, WE SHALL BE SAVED TO THE UTMOST— as our God comes for us, in us, and unto us!!

Oh, there is so much spiritual understanding for us to gain.  My hope is— that today— we have gained a bit more, that we have been invited into a bit more… that we would soften to the Lord again— and let him love us… that we would obey him in his love, and let the Truth of his person wash us clean, mature us in him, and cause us to regain our shape— as we yield our hearts (minds, wills, ways, and faculties in operation in us) to him again: that his kingdom should reign in our members!!!

“Maranatha, Lord Jesus (meaning, our Lord come, or our Lord has come)—” has SO MUCH UNDERSTANDING!!!

HE’S HERE, Y’ALL, NOT LATER— NOW!!!!  Might we be given back to him within— to come out of religion (falsehood lived), and just worship him once again (refocus)??? Because in him— in our focus and living toward him— is our salvation— IN HIM.  And I desire that ALL would come back to serving the Lord our God within again; for this would greatly please our Father, Maker, Creator, and Husband of us: the Lover of our souls— in whom we return to.  

He never went anywhere— we did;

And we can return now.
