Genesis 9:20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he
planted a vineyard: 21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken;
and he was uncovered within his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of
Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren
without. 23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the
nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and
they saw not their father's nakedness. 24 And Noah awoke from his
wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. 25 And he
said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be
unto his brethren. 26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God
of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 27 God shall enlarge
Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall
be his servant.
I find the hidden mystery in Ham’s curse, one of the greatest first
hand revelations that the Lord is revealing to us through the Bible.
If you can grab this mystery, you will put on wings of the spirit
and begin your flight back into glory. This revelation is not
spiritual milk for spiritual babes, but meat for sons who are
pressing on to inheriting the totality of God’s glory. If certain
things in this article are unclear to you, ask the Father of lights
to broaden your understanding and it will be granted you, for it His
will to illuminate every man with the light of life.
The "curse of Ham" is a topic that is widely known by people with
religious inclinations, particularly those of the Hebrew stock.
Unknown to many the Hebrew religion introduced by Moses has spread
out it’s roots and is presently the bedrock of many religions
(Christianity included) and moral institutional organizations like
governments, law systems, and associations all over the world. In
the past, many of these institutions in trying to figure out the
descendants of Ham have tried to link it with people of Black
African ancestry or even to Arabs. With this belief, enslavement and
racism towards the blacks was widely upheld during the 18th-20th
centuries, but it has been largely reduced outwardly since the
mid-20th century. Of course, out there, there might be peoples or
nations who are biological descendents of Ham, who might be under
the influence of the curse of Noah, but bear in mind that, this is
not the message God intends to pass to us through the curse of Ham;
the revelation in it is much wider than that.
In the first place, the curse of Ham could only be effective since
man was already under the curse. The true greater picture is that
all men like we know have fallen short of the glory of God and are
reeling under the curse of the law. The Father’s desire is to get
all men out from under the influence of the curse; and if God
liberates us, these lesser curses found within the curse, like that
of Noah will be of no effect. So let us focus our minds on the true
eternal spiritual significance of the curse of Ham.
The bible says, Noah was drunk with wine, and in His drunken state,
His nakedness was uncovered. While He reeled back and forth, naked
under the influence of wine, one of His three sons by the name Ham
literally dishonored and mocked His Father by going out to tell His
other two brothers. The brothers on the other hand acted wisely and
honored their Father by refusing to look at His nakedness but rather
they covered His nakedness. When the Father came back to His senses
and realized what had transpired, He was wroth with Ham and placed a
curse on Him saying a servant of servant will He be unto His
brethren. On the other hand, He blessed His other two sons Shem and
Japheth with blessings of enlargement.
All that we just read in relation to the curse of Ham is a spiritual
parable, which can only be comprehended by those who have eyes to
see and ears to hear. It reveals the mystery of the true and living
God, who is the only living one, and besides Him, there is no other.
Understanding this riddle opens our eyes to the hidden mystery of
Christ, the image of the invisible God; this is our key to
rediscovering and entering God’s kingdom where the curse of the law
seizes to be.
Noah in His drunken and naked state represents man in His descended
state from the glory of God the Father, into the temporary false
glory of mortal man. If you have discerning eyes you will know that
the only one that has being is God the Father, and in the beginning,
which can be interpreted, in truth, we are one with Him. In the
beginning is synonymous with truth because it represents the
originality of a matter, while it is evident that the lie comes
after to distort the truth. The lie is our falsely derived human
identities that say we are independent of God; or rather, we have a
life of our own. The Trevor, or Susan, or Mathew, or Arabian, or
American, or African, black or white person that I was groomed from
the day of my natural birth to believe I am, has no reality at all,
it is just an illusionary puppet or idol so to say. That personality
I was groomed to believe myself to be is a product of lies, and
these lies have robbed me of the life and glory of God.
In reality, God’s life is our life, His thoughts are our thoughts,
He is us and we are Him, besides Him there is no other one. Somebody
will say, “But those words are high and arrogant!” I would say that
you are greatly mistaken, true arrogance and ignorance is to believe
that you have a life of your own, or that there is any other being
apart from God. If you have that kind of belief, you are a god unto
yourself, or more brashly, you have formed a graven image yourself.
Let this sink in, God’s life, which is the only life, is that life
that the gospel of Christ has come to restore to us so that we no
longer live as men annihilated from the life God, but rather men who
are consciously one with Him.
Every thing whether they be celestial, terrestrial or invisible
speak of our oneness with God the Father. A good example of this
sacred union is seen in the tree and its branches; the Father is the
tree and we are the branches. The branch is one with the tree; it is
an extension of the tree, which reveals the attributes of the tree
itself, as seen in the leaves and fruits. Without the trunk of the
tree, the branches cannot bring forth fruit; rather they dry off and
die off. The life of the branches is the source of the life of the
tree so that the branch cannot function without the tree. In
likewise manner, a tree without branches to reveal its attributes
through its leaves and a fruit is meaningless. God is the tree while
the branches represent Christ the image of the living God. Christ is
simply God in man or rather God appearing as man. How will the only
invisible God be ever seen and admired by men, how will they
contemplate His beauty and perfection? This is possible only as He
reveals Himself through the branch (Christ) to this world. This is
the great mystery of godliness unfolding before our eyes today: God
manifested in the flesh (man|Christ) and contemplated by all.
The problem here is that man has lived in ignorance of this sacred
truth of our oneness with God the Father, and this ignorance in
man’s heart has caused Him to live as the branch separated from the
tree, which simply dies off. As long as man lives in ignorance of
His true substance as Christ the son of the living God who is one
with God the Father, he is cold dead. The fruits of death and
tribulation seen in mortal man is simply a reflection of His
ignorance of the seed of God within Himself, He is veiled by the
lies and darkness of this age so that He losses out on the life and
glory of God.
When you behold people living in the ignorance of this age (no
knowledge of Christ within) according to imaginary derived
identities after the flesh walking as mere mortal beings in sin
consciousness and imperfection, what you are beholding are sons of
God in a drunken state. Like wine which beclouds the judgmental
power of men and makes fools of them, so do the lies of this Dark
Age intoxicate men in their continuous descent from the immortal
glory of God into mortality. The lust of the eyes the lust of the
flesh and the pride of life that governs this world is the effect of
the lies with which men are intoxicated. Read Proverbs 23:29-35,
this gives a true picture of man in His folly as He is driven to and
fro with wild imaginations, lust and utter recklessness unto sorrow
and destruction.
Proverbs 23:29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions?
who hath babbling? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness
of eyes? 30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek
mixed wine. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it
giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an
adder. 33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart
shall utter perverse things. 34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth
down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a
mast. 35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was
not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when
shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
When one is extremely drunk, He losses self control and
self-awareness. His eyes behold idols (things that are not God) and
He lives in shame and dishonor. That is the Adam man for you, who
drinks the lies of Satan. The whole world today which spiritually
speaking is of the night, is under the influence of strong wine that
is why men stagger to and from in shame and misery [ 1Thessalonians
5:4-7].
The manifestations of all forms of hate and injustice are evidence
of the drunken state of those who inhabit this world, otherwise know
as outer darkness or hell [Luke
12:45-46].
Man’s descent from glory is synonymous with having the seed of God
hidden in man in the darkness of this age, so that if you have a
discerning heart, you will see God in all men, no matter what their
outward manifestation may depict. Paul got this secret that is why
He says I know no man after the flesh, but rather after the spirit.
Meaning, He was seeing Christ the image of God in all men, not just
in professing born again Christians but in all men, I repeat
all men. Some might not awaken from their drunkenness in the
days of their flesh, but it does not change the truth.
2Corithians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the
flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now
henceforth know we him no more.
That seed of God in all men like we have established is Christ, who
is the branch of God or the image of the invisible God or better,
God in man, appearing as man. If any man does not realize this great
mystery, His eye of understanding is blinded by the lies of this age
and He consequently suffers the curse of being annihilated from the
life of God.
People live under the curse simply because they are not recognizing
the Lord’s invisible body nested in man, rather they are looking on
the naturally perceived outer material appearance. This mistaken
view, spiritually points to the looking at the nakedness of the Lord
and consequently leads to dishonouring Him. As long as you recognize
individuals after the flesh and live in relation to a carnally
perceived world, you are looking at the nakedness of the Father and
dishonouring Him. This calls for sharp alertness and discernment in
the spirit. The commandments which states, "honour your Father and
your Mother", is fulfilled only in those who are awake from the
drunkenness of humanity and begin to function as Christ, because in
that state you recognize the Father in you and in brethren. In this
consciousness, there is no occasion of stumbling because in reality
there is only one that is Father in all and through all.
Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all,
and through all, and in you all.
When Jesus stooped down to wash the feet of the disciples, Peter
tried to resist Him, wondering how the Lord Jesus will stoop low to
wash the feet of the disciples. Jesus told Him that there was no
way he could understand what He was doing at that point in time,
because he was still blinded by the lies of this age. The
secret is that as Jesus stooped down to wash the feet of the
disciples, He was seeing the Father in them, and His work
was to minister to them and cause them to awaken back into the glory
of the Father from whence they had descended.
John 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into
his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; Joh 13:4
He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a
towel, and girded himself. Joh 13:5 After that he poureth water
into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. Joh 13:6 Then
cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou
wash my feet? Joh 13:7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do
thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. ………
The greatest one among you is the one that serves, not like the
gentiles or the veiled who ignorantly try to lord it over one
another. Rather if any man begins to empty himself to become a
servant, He will find Himself as the head, and we know that the head
is the Father. As He converts Himself to honouring the Father, He
will rediscover himself back on the pinnacle of Zion ruling and
reigning as the Father.
Deuteronomy 28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not
the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be
beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy
God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
Meaning we must be converted into becoming servants of all men, no
more acting as gods over one another. Remember the glory we seek is
that of the Father, not that of man, if we walk in relation to the
revelation truth, He glorifies us with His very self, which in
realty is the only one that there is.
The difference between Jesus and the ordinary man is that, Jesus
realized that He was one with God the Father, as we also are
realizing this moment. Nevertheless, along with this revelation
comes the need to humble yourself and serve the Father as you behold
Him in all men. If we do not do this, we still have not gotten the
revelation of the mystery of the seed (Christ) of the Father in all
men.
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in
Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not
robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no
reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was
made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man,
he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death
of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and
given him a name which is above every name:
The least you do unto these ones you do unto me (the Father), I was
hungry and you fed me, I was naked and you clothed men, I was in
prison and you visited me; enter thou into the glory and the rest at
the right hand of the Father you sheep of the Lord (the generation
of Shem and Japheth). On the other hand the goats (the generation of
Ham) inherit hell and death as depicted by the left hand of the
Father because they fail to discern the Lord‘s Body and to honour
Him.
Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all
the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his
glory: Mat 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and
he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: Mat 25:33 And he shall set the sheep
on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Mat 25:34 Then shall
the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of
the world: ----------------------------
Those seen as perfect and righteous are those who recognize and
honour the substance of the Father in themselves (Christ) and in all
men that they come across, by allowing Him to come forth from
within. We do this by rejecting the abomination of all forms of
carnally and lies of this present system and conforming ourselves to
Christ the Spirit who is actually the Father (God) in us. This is
the essence of the gospel: that we lose our meaningless life in this
world of appearances and unite back in one with the Father, by
allowing the seed of Christ (the spirit man) increase in us.
The consequence of man walking in carnality and His inability to
recognize the glory of the immortal and invisible God in Him, is
that He becomes a slave to corruption. If you do not exercise
yourself to see truth (Christ in you) and unite yourself to it, you
will behold the lie (the flesh) and serve it. In other words
the curse of Ham is a pointer to men who walk carnally according to
natural instincts and consequently fail to recognize and honour the
only true and invisible God in themselves and in all men.
Under the curse, man becomes a slave to the very beggarly elements
that were created to serve Him. When you see men bound to a lustful
and consequently sinful nature, it is simply because to have refused
to retain a knowledge of the only true invisible God and eternal
life within themselves, but rather they chose to serve the creature,
the flesh more than the creator (Christ within) [Romans 1:20-31].
Death and lawlessness that reigns in this world, is simply fruit of
not recognizing the substance of God in man. If we awake from the
drunkenness of this age and put on sobriety by the spirit of truth
we will discover that we are truly one body; the body of Christ
which is the only God and eternal life [1 John 5:20].
Ephesians 5:18 And be not drunk with wine (the lies of this age),
wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit (the truth);
Man’s attempts at bring about healing love and peace through
premeditated unions, traditional and religious orders will never
bring about that love that surpasses all knowledge. That which will
bring about true unity, love and consequently healing to all men is
their awaking to the fact that the only life that there is, is the
life of God the Father. If you do not see the glory of the Father in
all and through all, you have a forbidden and mistaken view of God;
allegorically you are simply viewing the nakedness of the Father
which is a curse even according to the Law of Moses.
Deuteronomy 5:16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy
God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it
may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth
thee.
Lev 18:7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy
mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt
not uncover her nakedness. Lev 18:8 The nakedness of thy father's
wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
………………….
Like Jesus said and Paul later confirms, the law is simply fulfilled
in one word LOVE. Love God with all your heart and all your soul,
and love your neighbour as yourself [Luke
10:27, Galatians 5:14].
This is fulfilled only in those who ascend into the aware of
themselves as Christ by recognizing the Father in all men as the
only life that there is. God is one and His body is one body, when
the wine clears off the eyes of men, they will then realize that
they are Him and He is them.
How can a man say He loves and honours the invisible God when He
does not love and honour Himself and His brother, who is in reality
God the invisible appearing as man the visible?
1John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is
a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how
can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have
we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
How can you bless the invisible God and at the same time curse man
who is His image; we must wash our eyes from the beclouding effects
of the old intoxicating wine of this world and begin see the Father
in all men. The perfect man is the one that is able to recognize the
seed of God in man and reverence it; He will retain His innocence
and never taste death.
James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly
evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith bless we God, even the
Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the
similitude of God.
When Shem and Japheth honoured their Father by covering His
nakedness, it depicts recognition, reference and love. It is all
about walking in relation to the truth, by recognizing that the true
invisible God is the only one that has being; He is the one within
us and in all men. We ought to be vigilant and extremely careful
when we encounter men; it is like those divine encounters seen
throughout the bible.
One example is the encounter Abraham had with the Lord at the plains
of Mamre; as He lifted up His face and saw three men standing before
Him, the power of discernment that caused Him to get the best of
that encounter.
Genesis 18:1 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre:
and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 2 And he lift
up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he
saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed
himself toward the ground, 3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found
favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet,
and rest yourselves under the tree: 5 And I will fetch a morsel of
bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for
therefore are ye come to your servant. ……………………………..
Those three men appeared in the name of the Lord, and we know Christ
appears in the name of the Lord (Blessed is He who comes in the name
of the Lord). Whenever God appears as a man, we know Him as Christ
or the son of God. Now we know why Jesus says, that Abraham saw His
day and appreciated it with gladness and gratitude [John
8:56].
Abraham’s appreciation and gratitude to the Lord was demonstrated in
His bowing down (worship) and His zealousness in serving and
honouring the Lord. These works of Abraham is the thing that
eventually led to His birthing the Isaac, which is symbolic of the
promise. All that Abraham did was to lift up His eyes to recognize
the presence of God the Father in these men and consequently He
received the promise of the seed. The seed is symbolic of the
manifestation of Christ, the image of God in us, He is the one that
is blessed with the unlimited blessings of God upon the everlasting
hills of Zion. The unlimited blessing of God is all that God is and
has.
To repeat the blessings of Shem and Japheth follows the same pattern
of recognizing and honouring the Father in us (Christ in us). If we
recognize the life of the Father in us and in all men and humble
ourselves to serve and honour Him, we will never see death because
He honours us with Himself. So that like Christ we can confess that
if you have see me you have seen the Father and we know that in the
Father there is eternal life and no curse whatsoever.
John 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it
sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with
you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me
hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the
Father?
If man carries on in a mistaken identity, fails to recognize the
glory of God (the covering of the Father), he losses out on the
eternal life of God, and inherits the curse; this is Ham’s story.
Meditate on this words:
I am (the Father) your exceeding great reward [Genesis 15:1].
Those that serve me will be honoured by the Father [John 12:26].
Father I have done your will; glorify me with yourself with the
glory I had with you before this world was [John 17:5].
The resurrection or the ascension is the blessed exaltation from our
lifeless and hell bound human identities back into the glory of the
Father, where Fear, sorrow, sense of lack and abandonment vanish. In
the glory of the Father, death is no more because in Him, there is
no death, but rather joy and laughter is ours forever.
Isaiah 51:11 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and
come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
Those who will pass through the gates of the new Jerusalem otherwise
known as the kingdom of God, which is a realm or consciousness we
attain to within where there is no darkness or curse, do so only as
they behold the Father’s face by Faith and serve Him. These ones
will be converted back, and united with the glory of God, as
depicted by the Father’s names on their foreheads.
Revelations 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the
throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants
shall serve him: 4 And they shall see his face; and
his name shall be in their foreheads. 5 And there
shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light
of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign
for ever and ever
On the other hand, those who carry on with the lie of humanity by
refusing to recognize the Father and to honour Him, remain without
the gates of the heavenly city of light.
Revelations 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and
whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and
maketh a lie.
This is the situation of the nations of the earth today; those whose
minds are darkened by the vanity of this age and therefore do not
recognize this mystery of the Father’s glory (Christ) hidden in
man.
In this hour (present and continuous), God is sending out the spirit
of Elijah to bring about a repentance from our old ways, which
dishonour the Father. The spirit of Elijah restores the way of the
Lord in us exactly the way it was in the beginning. Like we read in
the scripture from proverbs 30:17, the ravens which is symbolic of
the voice of one crying in the wilderness (Elijah) is out today to
pluck out that evil eye of man that causes him to mock and dishonour
His Father and the Mother (Christ | the Church).
Proverbs 30:17 The eye that mocketh at his father,
and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley
shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
These are the true witnesses of God revealing truth, so that the
heart of the Father is turned back to the heart of the children and
the children to the Father.
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the
coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6 And he shall
turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the
children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a
curse
This is all about the restoring every one back in one in the Father,
the way we truly are from the beginning. All men (the branches),
must be grafted back into the tree so that they can once more
partake of the life of the tree (God the Father) and bring forth the
fruits accordingly. This calls for strong resolve and focus on the
part of the saints who receive this revelation of the Father in his
creation. It means viewing our lives in this world as meaningless
and therefore letting go of all to gain the glory of God the Father.
