Ecclesiastes 12:1-7 1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy
youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when
thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; 2 While the sun, or the
light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds
return after the rain -------------- Then shall the dust return to
the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave
it.
REMEMBER HOW YOU HAVE HEARD
The Spirit of the living One is constantly reaching out to the
Church to bring about remembrance of things it has received from the
Father and its glory at the right hand of God. We see this in
the contents of the first and fifth trumpet which corresponds to the
messages to the churches in Ephesus and Sardis in the book of
revelation.
Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard,
and hold fast, and repent…
Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and
repent, and do the first works;…
Remembrance of the things heard and received from the Father is what
restores and maintains the church in God’s glory throughout all
eternity. Whenever man forgets the silent whisper of the Spirit and
gets entangled with the lies from the abyss below, He loses all
awareness of himself and the Father. As remembrance seizes, man
slips away from the heights of glory into perpetual darkness and
death, a realm where those that forget God inhabit (the world). The
Psalmist confirms this when he writes, “the nations that forget God
are given over to destruction, hell and the grave…”. [Psalms 6:5,
Psalms 9:17, Psalms 88:11-12].
You better believe Jesus when He says the world does not know God,
because it is simply a formation based on ignorance of what God
truly is [John 17:25]. This might sound hard, but better
believe it, that as men, the thing we have called God is simply a
product of man’s imagination. God can only be known as an awakening
induced by remembrance is sparked up in man. As man through
remembrance awakens from the illusion of His life upon the earth as
a mortal and begins to know Himself as the incorruptible and
invisible one who is before all things, He also begins to know the
Father, who is the living God, for the Father is known only by the
Son and vice versa.
Luke 10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man
knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but
the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
In this context, the son (Christ) is not a mortal man, He is spirit!
So cancel those imaginations as to what the Son of God looks like.
To know the Father you must through remembrance know yourself the
way you are known from the foundation of the world in truth. The
many reasonings of men can never fathom out and truly know what God
is, the more they try the more they formulate idols that are not
God. For this reason, with soberness and singleness of mind, in this
hour, meaning this very moment, we ought to pause in remembrance as
the Spirit speaks to the Church revealing things we forgot in the
graveyard of humanity, and begin to adhere ourselves to them
continuously, because they are life.
The Church is that celestial gathering in the Spirit that we have in
God from the beginning which the Father is once more bringing to our
awareness, so that we can once more be consciously found in it. Paul
mentions it when He speaks about a fellowship that was hidden in God
from the foundation of the world but is now being brought to light
through the gospel of Christ, so that all men can contemplate this
great mystery and by doing so enter back into the safety of the
Lord. Through the manifestation of this mysterious fellowship nested
in God, the manifold wisdom of God is revealed to the principalities
of this world.
Ephesians 3:9-10 And to make all men see what is the
fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world
hath been hid in God, who created by Jesus Christ: To the intent
that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places
might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
We must understand that no matter how deep in Hell man lays His bed,
He is still part of the Church, even though He may grope momentarily
in darkness among the nations of the earth that constitute the
world. If you study the messages to the seven churches in the book
of revelation, you will notice that the Spirit is always telling the
church to either repent and return to their first state, or remain
firm in the truth and retain what they have heard. As demonstrated
in Adam’s transgression, this means that members of the church
sometimes do fall out of that union in Christ who appears as the
Alfa and Omega in the book of revelation.
That thing we see in the Garden of Eden in the second and third
chapters of the book of genesis, represent the fellowship of the
church in light, in the Paradise of God. The trees which God told
Adam to eat of are all brethren with which we fellowship in love in
the Spirit. In this Spiritual garden, we fellowship in the name of
the Father and the Son; we fellowship with the voice of truth that
declares the name of the Lord for this is the only thing that
exists.
1John 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you,
that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship
is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
In this fellowship in light, man is consciously aware of the
invisible activity of the Spirit (Christ), through whom all things
are; He is consciously aware that all things both seen and unseen
declare the invisible qualities of the living God. In this sacred
fellowship there is no self knowledge after the flesh, for all live
by the one and only Spirit which fills all in all. When you see
mortal man walking in the lust and the pride of life, He is simply
dead and unaware of the eternal presence of the living God; He has
forgotten what God is. However, in awakening through remembrance,
pride seizes for he again becomes aware, of the meaning of the
saying: “I am the first and the last; and besides me there is
no other God”.
When man is idly at ease and becomes dull of hearing the voice of
truth, He begins to be influenced by the voices from the dust below
(mortals), represented by the influence of the serpent through the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The consequence of this is
that he slips out of that sacred fellowship in God and becomes like
a heathen man of the nations whose eyes of understanding is darkened
and consequently suffers a false sense of alienation from the life
of God.
This is what Jesus was communicating to us though the following
statements:
Matthew 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee,
go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall
hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he
will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two
more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be
established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell
it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church,
let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
We must understand, that these things we just read in Matthew
chapter 18:15-17 are purely spiritual concepts which happen
spontaneously in man as He seizes to adhere to the voice of the
Spirit. Years ago in a Church in Milan, I witnessed the expulsion of
an erring Sister of the Church based on the scriptures above. I
observed as they systematically presented their case before
two-three floor members of the church, then to the elders of the
church and then to the whole church, before She was finally
excommunicated. When you see such a thing, know that they are simply
actors, because what Jesus said in the eighteenth chapter of Matthew
has to do with the Spiritual gathering hid in God. Church in the
eyes of God has got nothing to do with the natural structures that
men form for themselves upon the earth, these are purely spiritual
concepts. Any manifestation of the Church upon the earth must be
rooted in that celestial gathering hid in God; otherwise it is
nothing but a synagogue of Satan (gathering of mortals).
Unknown to men these verses extracted from the eighteenth chapter of
Matthew, is spontaneously fulfilled over and over again in every
man. If a man is dull of hearing truth and begins to adhere to the
uncountable lies and fables of men, he becomes like the men of this
age who are alienated from the life of God. On the other hand if He
listens to the celestial witnesses, he is granted access back into
the one celestial gathering in God (the Church), where he can once
more be a conscious partaker in God’s glory. So you see our ability
to either return to or maintain ourselves in the place of absolute
power and glory is through remembrance induced by hearing, otherwise
we continue in ignorance like mortal men who inhabit the realm of
Hell. In the fifteenth and seventh verses of the eighteenth chapter
of Matthew, the two witnesses represent the Father and the son,
while the three witnesses are the Father, the Son and the Holy
Ghost; they are all one and the same. If you hear the son speak, it
is the Father speaking. In likewise manner if you hear the Spirit it
is the voice of Christ which is one with the Father. They are not
three independent bodies, rather they are one and the same thing
manifesting in different ways.
The church which is the celestial gathering is nested in one with
the Spirit and is hid in God so that they are in alignment with the
voice of the Father; it stands eternally as a witness of the truth,
revealing the name of the Lord. In all this we can see that our
ability to hear and align ourselves to the voice of the Spirit
streaming from the heart of the Father through the son of whom we
are all part is what will lift us out of the gross spiritual
darkness that envelops this material world and maintain us in the
light. You see, contrary to what men think this is all that we need
for our sustenance and peace throughout all eternity, nothing more.
Any man found outside that Spiritual union called the Church is
among the nations that constitute this present world and like we
know this means darkness and tribulation. This is the pitiable state
of man who is spiritually deaf, and seizes to listen to the voice of
the Spirit. The Spirit speaks, seeking to gather man into that
fellowship hidden in God, and maintain it in this fellowship of
life. When a man stops listening to the Spirit, He begins to receive
the things that be of men (flesh and blood), and consequently loses
out on the conscious awareness of that fellowship of life hidden in
God. He eventually falls from his place in the heights of God and
dies off like the mortal man of this age.
Psalm 82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk
on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are
children of the most High. 7 But ye shall die like men, and fall
like one of the princes.
LESSON ON THE METAMORPHIC CIRCLE
Demonstrating the importance for remembrance, let us revisit the
development of the butterfly and learn spiritual truths from it.
After passing through the insatiable, inglorious, weak and
vulnerable worm-like state associated with the larva/caterpillar
phase of its metamorphic circle, the butterfly enters into the pupa
state. In the pupa state all activities without seem to seize,
because crawling and feeding grinds to a halt. To the observer
without, the larva is literally dead, but in reality, the larva is
passing through the most important phase of its evolution into the
final butterfly state that it truly is.
The butterfly in its pupa state in reality gradually dies to the old
life that it once thought it was. In all those moments in which it
crawled on the earth as a wormlike inglorious creature, the fact
that it is a butterfly never ever changed. It came out of the
butterfly and must return back to that butterfly state. However
being found in the lowly wormlike larva state, at the set time it
must become still, and in its stillness, its true glorious form
which is all embedded within itself comes to light. The butterfly
never has to look outwardly for something that will aid the birthing
of the new creature that it truly is, because all is already within
itself.
Through the stillness associated with the pupa state, a beautiful
air bound creature emerges, one with no likeness to that creature
that once crawled on the earth. Without the stillness associated
with the pupa state of the butterfly, it can never complete it’s
metamorphic circle and come forth into that true butterfly state
that it truly is. Experiment detaching the pupa from its branch and
keep it in a container that is in constant motion. You will discover
that it will simply remain there and eventually die off. This means
that for unhindered formation of the butterfly within, the pupa must
to be still in a type of suspended position. After a moment of
perfect stillness in what seems to be similar to a state in between
two worlds, a new creature comes forth, no more to crawl on the
earth seeking survival. It now soars freely in unlimited airspace
and sucks freely from sweet waters (nectar) as freely supplied by
the invisible one.
This is indeed a marvel of marvels, with spiritual secrets which
have more important value than man can ever imagine. It is the
eternal Spirit speaking once more in parables reminding us that we
are not of this physical material world below but from a purely
spiritual and invisible world above. Nested within every man is the
true spiritual man which has its own spiritual faculties adapted for
the kingdom in the air (Spirit). It is by receiving this secret in
meditative silence that we can escape the corruption and destruction
that has this present world in its jaws.
MAN’S EVOLUTION IN CONSCIOUSNESS
Do not let the word evolution frighten you; I do not use such terms
in a philosophical manner, but rather to demonstrate a change in
man's awareness from that of a natural man to that of the Son of God
who is the true creation of God. Jesus says, “in that day you
will know that you are in me and I in the Father;” this is a
shift from ignorance embedded in man into the awareness of the Son
of God. Knowing goes beyond letters and words, it is consciously
knowing, and I tell you this thing is realistic not just wishful
thinking of man.
Paul writes, “as we have all walked in the image of the earthly
so must we also walk in the image of the heavenly [1
Corinthians 15:49].” This circle of change like we see in the
metamorphosis of the butterfly will be fulfilled eventually in every
man as he comes to his senses from the pigpen of humanity. However,
to speedily escape the abounding pain and tribulation associated
with life as a mortal, and to enter in to enjoy free pleasurable
life in God’s Spiritual kingdom, we can hasten this awakening, also
known as the coming, by patiently applying the words of truth to our
lives as we hear them.
Peter writes about hastening the coming of this new era in God’s
kingdom.
2Peter 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall
be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all
holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto
the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire
shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
What is this thing that is to be dissolved with fire? That which is
to be dissolved with fire is that sense of belonging to this
material system of things. Our concepts, believes and orderly
formations upon the earth is dissolved by the word of truth as it is
unleashed from the Heart of the Father. Like fire, the abounding
flow of the truth inducing an awakening and remembrance within man,
brings about the dissolution of His imaginary life as a mortal
(flesh and blood). Awakening to the true life of the Spirit
represents the new heavens and the new earth where offences seizes
and man soars freely in true righteousness and perfection as he
drinks freely from bountiful streams flowing with milk and honey.
In the fifteenth chapter of Corinthians, Paul continues by saying
that the first man is earthy and of the dust, while the second man
is Spiritual and celestial, He is the Lord from heaven. [Corinthians
15:47-53]. The earthly however cannot in anyway inherit that
which is spiritual, so he must go through a mysterious change from
that lowly inglorious mortal into the glorious immortal image of the
Lord from heaven, for it is the Lord alone who inherits God’s
kingdom; it is the Lord’s and the Lord’s alone. This is the born
again process that is so much misinterpreted by men of this age. It
goes beyond alter calls or trying to become a better mortal, for
mortals cannot enter into the place immortality. It’s like trying to
make the earthbound caterpillar fly; you know it will never work. To
fly it must through a period of stillness undergo metamorphism and
bring forth that which is nested within itself.
This change occurs as man becomes still and begins to listen with
singleness of heart to the voice of the Spirit as it sounds within
Him. This is the sound of the famous last trump that every man must
someday exercise Himself to listen to so that He can live. The last
trumpet is also the first trumpet, because it has been, and remains
throughout all eternity. It is the voice of truth declaring the
name of the Lord who is in all, through all, and as all, for besides
Him there is none other. As man hears this trump, in reality he
begins to remember and awakens to the realization of His true self
that once lay dormant within himself as he ignorantly walked in the
illusion of being a mortal with some form of carnal identity of his
own. He awakens from the deep slumber of death and discovers that he
is one with the eternal incorruptible and invisible Spirit that
fills all in all. This is the resurrection from the dead and the
mysterious change that Paul is talking about in His letter to the
Corinthians.
This change in conscious realization of the inner man is what gives
man access into the kingdom in the air (God’s kingdom), and causes
Him to get the victory over the illusionary power of sin and death,
because that which is born of God, in His celestial image and nature
cannot sin. In this reality mane discovers that the law is actually
fulfilled spontaneously in those who walk after the Spirit. Death is
what produced duality, which is the sensation of a life apart from
God. In this state man sinks into the deep pit of forgetfulness and
the once blossoming garden turns into a wilderness as he begins a
futile journey as a mortal, groping in outer darkness without God,
without helper. As long as man continues in the illusion of being a
terrestrial creature, he is indeed dead and suffers the consequence
of spiritual ignorance. He continues in constant sense of
insatiability and anguish of soul, being ignorant of the unlimited
Spiritual blessings with which he is blessed.
Let no man be fooled it is only in remembrance of truth and
awakening to the same that true healing unfolds in man. Like the
butterfly in the Pupa / Chrysalis state uses the stored vegetation
it gathered during its larva state, men must stand still and begin
to reflect on what they have seen and heard in the days when they
walked as mortals and begin to see it all in the light of the
Spirit. In stillness and meditation man must come to terms with the
fact that all along when he walked as a mortal upon the earth, he
was actually walking in relation to shadows…idols so to saywhich
have no element of truth in them. Like Jesus says: “what you have
spoken in darkness (natural understanding), shall be heard in the
light (spiritual understanding). For the hidden things of the inner
man of the Spirit and His Spiritual kingdom in the air shall all be
brought to light.
Luke 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;
neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye
have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which
ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the
housetops.
As you continue to replay what you have spoken and heard in the
dark in the true light of the Spirit through mediation and
stillness, you begin to behold your true eternal kingdom in the air
(the Spirit) unfold. Along with this new heavens and new earth,
comes a total dissolution of all associations upon the earth and we
inherit the same a hundredfold in God’s kingdom, a true world that
never fades away.
Matthew 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren,
or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands,
for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit
everlasting life.
Like the butterfly which emerges from within itself, so must man in
meditation begin to look inwardly to discover a whole new celestial
man, and a whole new world. Man must seek and never stop seeking
till he rediscovers the glorious celestial man within Himself.
Through meditation, he must pierce through the shell of His outer
mortal existence and begin to relocate his angelic wings, his
Antennas and his glorious multicolored covering with which he can
once sour in the heavens and access the sweet rivers of pleasures.
ENTERING INTO THE QUIET
Hearing the voice of truth brings remembrance and illumination to
the hearts of men. Being still in meditation and prayer brings
remembrance of the Christ within who is the image of the invisible
and incorruptible God. Some of us have heard things for many years
with nothing to show for it, for this reason we must begin to
remember how we have received from the Father and exercise ourselves
them with singleness of mind. The man who will inherit the unlimited
blessings of God will be more than just a hearer. He must enter into
the quiet far away from the uncountable voices of Babylon and from
before the face of men below and begin to listen once more and do
his first works from the beginning, when he saw only the face of the
Father. This brings awakening and remembrance of the unspeakable
glory of God within.
Like allegorical examples of Jesus, Elijah, Moses and the children
of Israel, man must embark on that solitary forty (days, years)
spiritual voyage into the heart of God where he can once more hear
and unite with the still voice of the eternal One declaring that, “I
AM that I AM, and besides Me there is no other God, for
I alone inhabit eternity”. It is all about piercing through
the layers of darkness of our human lives through remembrance and
knowing that Christ the true God and eternal life is our life.
Remembrance through stillness in mediation awakens man to the
reality that I am God, for this is our life; this knowledge
exalts man above the heathen below. If a man does not know the
sacred secret of the I AM, he is gathered among the heathen
who do not know God.
Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be
exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
The harsh wilderness associated with the forty days…years speak of
temptations and trials associated the contradictory voices of
unbelief that work through the carnal mind to dissuade man as he
seeks to ascend into this Christ consciousness. These voices of
unbelief simply seek to cause you to return back to sleep in the
illusion of your mortal life. They urge you to abandon your voyage
for the luxury of the world and remain entangled in the many voices
of Babylon beneath. However this is not a journey for the slothful,
but rather for those who are in it to finish the race leaving no
stone unturned.
During his Journey, even Elijah went to sleep, until he was stirred
up and strengthened from above.
Kings 19:5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold,
then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
6 And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the
coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink,
and laid him down again. 7 And the angel of the LORD came again the
second time, and touched him, and arose, and did eat and drink, and
went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto
Horeb the mount of God.
The Lord is here to strengthen us again; we must continue in
fellowship of the word and receive constant strengthening and
increase in the knowledge of the inner man, by feasting on angel’s
bread. The Father in His faithfulness never allows us to lack in the
supply of His pure word from heaven. He can quicken our spirits with
His deep word or even sends His messengers in the form of brethren
to supply the word. On the strength of this bread (word of truth),
like Elijah, we must embark on this spiritual ascension until we
consciously realize ourselves upon the summit of Horeb (a type of
Zion), where the small still voice of the Spirit is heard clearly.
If you have a witness in your heart that the voice of the Father is
beckoning on you to come up hither, never be discouraged by the many
contradictions within and without. Remember that you are what you
are before the face of the Father, circumstances in the flesh cannot
change that. Let the spirit leads you unto the peak of Zion where
you can enter back into conscious harmony and fellowship with the
Voice of the Father. On the peak of Zion you will realize your inner
light Body exactly like that of the transfigured Jesus. This
represents the awoken state of man in the resurrection from the
dead.
The ability of Elijah and Moses to hear and fellowship with this
thundery yet still voice is what caused them to escape the power of
the grave beneath.
Shortly after hearing this voice on the mount of Horeb, Elijah was
taken up in a whirlwind among a chariot of fire and fiery horse men,
in what is a shadow of the transformation from the earthy man to the
Spiritual man who like we know is the Lord from heaven [2Kings
2:11]. Herein is the end of the faith for those who can hear and
unite themselves with truth. Hearing the voice of the Spirit in it’s
entirely, awakens man and reminds him of the fiery windy horseman
that he truly is (spiritual being). In remembrance, he is lifted up
from the earth from the illusion of his human existence and is once
more gathered among his celestial brethren represented by the
myriads of angels and chariots that are gathered in the name of the
Lord upon mount Zion the pinnacle of creation [Psalm 68:17,
Hebrew 12:22-23].
This is the glorification process that we so often hear about;
glorification and remembrance go hand in hand.
Psalms 104:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters:
who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the
wind: 4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming
fire:
The glorification of God’s angels (servants) and ministers into
clouds, wind, spirit and flaming fire is brought about by
remembrance induced by hearing the voice of the Spirit. The
glorification of the saints is about remembering and rediscovering
celestial attributes that they lost awareness of in their sleep of
death. The dead in the grave of forgetfulness of their human
consciousness hear the voice of the truth and upon their beds in
Hell they begin to remember their Spiritual attributes. While
remembering things forgotten, like Lazarus, they ascend out of the
grave of their material sense of life, and are stripped of their
graves clothes and loosened from the shackles that subjected them to
harsh bondage in the evil days of ignorance.
EXAMINING MOSES’ ASCENSION
In the case of Moses, His body was never found yet He appeared along
with Elijah while Jesus transfigured before His disciples. This
should give you food for thought. Someone might say that the bible
says God buried Him. You ought to listen to the spirit not letters
from the book called the bible. We must understand that God is not
an undertaker, meaning He is not in the business of burying people;
rather he is in the business of quickening the dead and maintaining
them in life. God has no covenant with the dead whatsoever.
I will drop another food for thought. When the archangel disputed
with Satan over the body of Moses, was it to bury it or quicken it ?
[Jude 1:9].
The only other times the archangel is mentioned in the bible is in
aiding the saints in the resurrection from the dead. In 1
Thessalonians 4:16 He induces remembrance and awakening in the
saints by Sounding the Trumpet (shout) which represents the voice of
truth streaming from the heart of the Father. In the awakening they
are once more gathered among the myriads of messengers and witnesses
(the clouds) that are gathered in the air (the spirit) in the name
of the Lord.
1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of
God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are
alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with
the Lord.
The Archangel Michael is also mentioned in the book of Daniel as He
stands up to aid the saints in the resurrection from the dead, when
those who sleep in the dust in the illusion of mortality awaken.
These are the ones who rediscover their celestial light attributes
in the image of the living God and enter into life.
Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great
prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there
shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a
nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people
shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the
book. 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall
awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and
everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the
brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to
righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
From all this we can see that the Archangel’s association with the
body of Moses has to do with quickening or the resurrection from the
dead. Allegorically speaking, the Spirit is indicating that Moses
ascended into the celestial gathering of perfected Spirits very much
like Elijah did. Unknown to many it was that same angelic being that
aided Elijah into the wilderness [Kings 19:5-7], and
strengthened Jesus as he headed to the cross [Luke 22:43].
Remember, it is the revelation that the Spirit is giving that
matters, so no need trying to figure this out with human intellect.
We should then ask ourselves what qualified Moses for this great
honor. Allegorically after that encounter with the burning
bush upon the summit of Horeb (a type of Zion), Moses was walking in
newness of life after the power of the resurrection [Exodus 3].
It was a new man walking in a new name, the name of I Am. As
he appeared before the face of Pharaoh, it was an allegorical
snapshot of the All Mighty God appearing in great glory and power in
flesh form to deliver the elect from the hand of the devil. This is
the mystery of godliness spoken of by Paul in His letter to His
spiritual son Timothy:
1Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of
godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the
world, received up into glory.
What the Israelites were beholding, as a glorified Moses appeared
before Pharaoh and Egypt, is a snapshot of the invisible God made
visible; they were beholding the majesty of that which is from the
beginning, by whom all things were created and consist.
On hearing the inner voice of truth revealing the I Am, the old man
of the flesh along with His world dissolves, so that all that
remains is the Lord from heaven. The renewed Moses represents the
sons of the resurrection who never die; these ones have awakened to
the reality of the greater one within who is the image of the
invisible and incorruptible God. These mighty ones have overcome the
illusion of their mortal life upon the earth and have rediscovered
through induced remembrance that, I Am the Lord and besides me
there is no other.
The Lord gave Moses a sign which remains an eternal sign for
everyone who rediscovers true life in the Eternal Spirit [Exodus
4:3-4].
Mark 16:18 They shall take up serpents;…
God told Him to drop the rod in His hand, which turned into a fiery
serpent from which Moses fled, indicating how dangerous the snake
must have been. After this, God told Him to pick up the serpent by
the tail and it then turned back into a rod. This demonstrates how
in his descent into mortality, man loses dominion and celestial
excellence and becomes a lowly mortal with deadly attributes liken
to that of the fiery Serpent (the beast) out of which flows an
endless flow of poisonous venom (iniquity). However as man begins to
seek and listen once more like Moses did for forty years, he will
overcome the corrupt serpent man of the dust and rediscover his lost
dominion. This is the salvation that awaits those whose hear truth
and exercise themselves in it. It is also the victory over the
attributes of the beast we see in the book of revelations.
Revelations 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with
fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over
his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his
name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 3 And
they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the
Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God
Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. 4
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou
only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before
thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
It is all about remembering in stillness; remembrance awakens man to
the reality that He is the image and exact likeness of God,
incorruptible, immortal, incorporeal and perfect. In this sacred
realization, the harp within man awakens, while singing melody to
the Mighty God, for the beauty and majesty that was hidden is
brought light.
Psalms 57:8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I
myself will awake early.
REMEMBER THE LORD IN THE DAYS OF YOUR YOUTH
The days of our youth are the days when man walks in the fullness of
God’s glory, when he realizes the endless unflawed life of Christ.
Paul says that Christ is our life; meaning that life of the
transfigured Jesus that does not know annihilation from God, fear,
sickness, pain, sorrow, corruption etc is our life. That flawless
life is man’s true life without a condition put to it; remembrance
causes him to realize this mystery.
When Jesus had communion of bread and wine with His disciples in the
upper room, symbolizing in the heavens, He declared that the bread
is His body and the wine, His blood. He was demonstrating our
oneness in the Spirit and the fact that we all partakers of one
life, one body, for the life of the body is in the blood. [Leviticus
17:11-14]. While doing this He commanded that they do this in
remembrance of Him. [Luke 22:19
-20].
This thing has a much deeper meaning than sharing physical bread in
traditional communion services practiced by men. That thing Jesus
did during the last supper with His disciples is simply a shadow of
our celestial communion in Christ. It represents the fellowship of
life hid in God which every man must partake of to live; any man
outside of this fellowship in the heavens is dead.
Jesus commanded the disciples saying do this in remembrance of Him.
Who and what are we remembering here? Is it Jesus after the flesh
born of Mary and descendant of Abraham after the flesh? If He was
talking of Himself after the flesh, he will not say: before Abraham
was, I AM.
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham
was, I am (John 8:58).
Neither will He deny His mother and brethren after the flesh in
public, declaring that His true mother and brethren are those who
stand with Him in the light doing the will of God.
And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And
he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold
my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God,
the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. (Mark 3:3-35)
Jesus Christ represents the life and image of the living God, the
embodiment of the living God, the one by whom all things whether
invisible or invisible were created. He is the Alpha and the Omega,
the Almighty God, the One Who is, Who was, and is to come. This
talks about a pure incorporeal and Spiritual entity which is not a
man, though He might appear as a man as He did in Jesus and is
appearing through us who awake today. Being the Church, the body of
Christ, the work of the Spirit is to remind us that we are all
partakers of that incorporeal body without beginning or end.
1John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given
us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we
are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ.
This is the true God, and eternal life.
Continuing in this revelation from above brings remembrance and
maintains man in the light as He is in the light, far away from
realm of the flesh where corruption reigns unabated. When man walks
in this revelation, all things are possible and he gets anything he
needs, because the omnipotent power of the Almighty One flows
through him by faith. This is the remembrance all men are called on
to exercise themselves in. [Ecclesiastes 12]
Ecclesiastes 12:1-7 1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy
youth, while the evil days come not…………………..
We have established that all things were made through Christ who is
actually God projecting Himself as a man. We have also established
that we are members of that congregation called the Church, which is
actually the body of Christ. Let us get this straight; a head
without a body is meaningless. The greatest marvels of all is that
we are part of that one celestial spiritual body by which all things
where created and sustained. We were in that sacred fellowship
before this world came into existence commanding things to be.
Things like this sound extremely alien and strange to the normal man
simple because He has slipped into the dark abyss of forgetfulness.
In the realm of forgetfulness called the world, man begins to
experience the evil days, where the pleasures of paradise seize and
man enters into a new experience of tribulation and fear. The light
of the heavenly bodies and the rain from the clouds seize to be,
meaning man falls out of that celestial fellowship in light (The
Church). Man begins to walk as a creature in bondage to the beggarly
elements of this world, losing all awareness of the fact that he
came out of the Creator. Things begin to fall apart as he is now
subject to the destructive powers of hell.
Ecclesiastes 12:3-6 describes the ever worsening state of man as he
experiences the evil days when death reigns supreme.
Ecclesiastes 12:3-6 In the day when the keepers of the house shall
tremble (The hands), and the strong men shall bow themselves (The
legs), and the grinders cease because they are few (The teeth), and
those that look out of the windows be darkened (The eyes), And the
doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding
is low (Activities Slow down), and he shall rise up at the voice of
the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low (No
more singing and Joy);----------------
It’s a never ending slide into destruction because he is ignorant of
the fact that the Lord is his true life. Herein lies the reason why
lusts and corruption litter this world; therefore some are sick,
some are weak in faith simply because in their unconscious state,
they are not discerning the Lord’s body of which they are part of.
Let us examine the letter of Paul concerning the Lord’s body:
1Corinthians 11:24-30 And when he had given thanks, he brake it,
and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this
do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took
the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament
in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in
remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this
cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever
shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord,
unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But
let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread,
and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh
unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning
the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly
among you, and many sleep.
In the first place, this communion on the Lord’s tables has always
been from the foundation of the world. Men experience the horrors
they experience because they became unworthy of the Lord’s glory.
Men started to partake from the tables of devils (mortal men) and
lost all awareness of the reality of the Lord’s body of which they
are part of.
1Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup
of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the
table of devils.
This is what happened when Adam who once walked in glory of the
Morning Star, started to have communion with the Serpent which
represents the carnal wisdom of this Age. That communion simply
causes men to begin a romance with idols, things that are not God
but of men. No one can be a partaker of God’s table in the Spirit
and also partake of the table of devils; you cannot live in two
worlds.
At His appearing, Jesus has come to restore this communion which
once more brings remembrance of the Lords body of which we are all
partakers. As we remember the Lord in communion prayerfully, He
comes in us, because we are Him and He is us. We once more realize
the beauty of the endless life of love, and unlimited possibilities.
Remembrance of the greater one within reverses the death process and
causes man to rediscover his youthful vigor and vitality; it
restores him to the days of his youth were there are no offences. It
is all about consciously realizing the Christ within, who is the
same yesterday, today and forever. If man can only receive
instructions from the Spirit that brings remembrance, He will come
out of the pit of forgetfulness where corruption reigns and once
more see the days of His youth; He will realize the beauty that He
truly is. This is the salvation of the Lord.
Job 33:23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one
among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: Job 33:24 Then
he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to
the pit: I have found a ransom. Job 33:25 His flesh shall be
fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
Job 33:26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto
him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man
his righteousness.
We can conclude by saying that remembrance is an act of worship; it
is watchfulness, prayer and fasting; it is our mediation which
causes man to escape the destruction in hell beneath and maintains
him in life throughout all eternity. All men must stand still in
remembrance and know that the Lord is my life. This is the
reality which the Spirit is unleashing upon us today; It is
refreshing the weary hearts by bringing remembrance of the glorious
things forgotten in our human experience. If anyone feels lonely,
abandoned, humiliated, emotionally hurt, sick or whatever, just sit
still, look inward and begin to remember the Christ within you; He
is the gateway to a whole new world of bliss, where nothing that
offends or make a lie can ever penetrate.
God Bless you
