חג פסח שמח

In this article, I want to explain the purpose for which God has called me. Whether you believe that or not is no concern of mine. I don't care if you believe it or not. I say those things because people expect me to conform to their beliefs, but let me ask you something: if Jeremiah were to comply with the beliefs of our ancestors, would he have been a prophet whose writings we hold dear to our hearts? Jeremiah and the other prophets knew God's wrath; they saw it in their time. I would be remiss to allow anyone to think that I’m going to do as they please when I know with certainty that God called me for a specific purpose.

With that as an introduction, I will show you what I have been compelled to do and say to my genetic brethren. Let me start by saying this. I’ve spoken openly about my thirty-year-long addiction to pornography. I believe that if someone has truly been delivered by TMH's power, they would announce it confidently and without shame. Those years of struggling under the weight of that sin were the worst of my life. I should also tell you that no one who hasn't been freed from sin will say you can be freed from sin and stop sinning. This is the second reason I provide my testimony. It is because those who claim to be holy, like God is holy, end up saying that it is impossible to cease from sin. I have heard it stated in many forms, and they all mean the same thing. They try to reason why they can still have sin in their life and maintain a true fellowship with God. Peter tells us this:

“As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.” 1 Peter 1:14-16 NASB

If you are privately committing sin and pretending openly that you are living a life worthy of God’s fellowship, you are a liar. You are still conformed to the lust you said you repented of when you heard the gospel. Peter said, “…be holy yourselves also in all your behavior…” not some of it. Therefore, when I say that I have ceased from sin, believe me, nothing is impossible with God. I didn’t accomplish this through my efforts. I’ve tried for thirty years and failed. One day, I will share my experience and the day I firmly believed God had delivered me from my addiction to pornography.

The next thing I want to say is this. When I share my testimony about my deliverance, there are those who—as I have said above—state that it is impossible to stop sinning. These impenetrable vessels assert that I am behaving as if I am superior to others. The phrase "holier than thou" was originally coined as a taunt directed at those who strive to live a life worthy of God’s continued mercy. It just so happens that the deceiver and his flunkies twisted that term from what God spoke to Isaiah. I’ll show you, and then I’ll show you why God said it.

“I permitted Myself to be sought by those who did not ask for Me;

I permitted Myself to be found by those who did not seek Me.

I said, ‘Here am I, here am I,’

To a nation which did not call on My name.

“I have spread out My hands all day long to a rebellious people,

Who walk in the way which is not good, following their own thoughts,

A people who continually provoke Me to My face,

Offering sacrifices in gardens and burning incense on bricks;

Who sit among graves and spend the night in secret places;

Who eat swine’s flesh,

And the broth of unclean meat is in their pots.

“Who say, ‘Keep to yourself, do not come near me,

For I am holier than you!’

These are smoke in My nostrils,

A fire that burns all the day.

“Behold, it is written before Me,

I will not keep silent, but I will repay;

I will even repay into their bosom,

Both their own iniquities and the iniquities of their fathers together,” says the LORD.

“Because they have burned incense on the mountains

And scorned Me on the hills,

Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.” Isaiah 65:1-7 NASB

If you read the context of the "holier than thou" statement, you see that God was angry that hypocrites said this while sinning in secret. Such is the life of a pretender. They used the phrase for those who have been delivered from their sin or sins and live a life free from sin through the power of TMH. I should also include the fact that the outcome for such people, who claim to be holy and privately are living a life comparable to a filthy rag, is far from pleasant. God is going to destroy you. And for those who have experienced God’s awesome power that delivered them from the sin that they continued to commit in their ignorance, it is worse for you because you personally knew what God can do.

Those who grapple with sin, I understand, are not reborn. If you did not know that being born again and being forgiven for your offense because you believed that Jesus came to deliver you from sin are two different realities of the same coin. Everyone who has heard the true gospel of the kingdom goes through a process before they actually gain conception. One can be forgiven and fail to be born again. That process looks like this:

“Now a Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the Scriptures. This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with the baptism of John; and he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. And when he wanted to go across to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace, for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

CHAPTER 19

Paul at Ephesus

It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples. He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.” And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “Into John’s baptism.” Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying. There were in all about twelve men.” Acts 18:24-28 19:1-7

Before I can accurately explain what is happening in these verses, I have to point out to you the things that Yahushuah stated to Nicodemus in John chapter three, so I hope you are paying full attention. This is what Yahushuah has said about being born again:

“1) Now there was a man from the Pharisees named Nikodemos; he is a ruler of the Yahudim 2) This one came to Yahushuah by night and he said to him, Master we know that you are a teacher from God: for no one can do these {miraculous} signs that you do except, if God {is} with him 3) Yahushuah answered and he said to him, for certain for certain, I say to you, except if anyone be engendered from above, he can not see the Kingdom of God 4) Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be engendered being old? Can he be able {to} go into his mother's belly a second time and be engendered? 5) Yahushua answered, For certain, for certain, I say to you, except if anyone be engendered by water and Wind, he can not be able to come into the Kingdom of God. 6) The thing that has been engendered by the flesh {is} flesh, and the thing that has been engendered by the Wind {is} wind. 7) Do not be astonished that I said to you {that} you must be engendered from above. 8) The Wind blows where he intends, and you hear his voice, but you do not know where he comes from and where he goes: everyone is engendered by the Wind in this way.” John 3:1-8 —My Provisionary Greek Translation 

I will touch on the bold portion to lessen the time I would have to spend explaining the whole chapter. Yahushuah’s first response to Nicodemos was this: “except if anyone be engendered from above, he can not see the Kingdom of God.” To understand that, you must understand who the Kingdom of God is referring to. Simply put, Yahushuah represents the kingdom of God. He is Israel, God’s firstborn son. In one of my articles, I mentioned that God gave the sons of Jacob the name Israel when He declared them as a collective body—one man. How Yahushuah became the sole person in Israel to become Israel is information that I will withhold for those who actually want to accurately understand the truth. Indeed, God is aware of my stubborn nature and my tendency to withhold what he desires, only revealing it to those who have truly experienced a new birth. This is his command. I comply with his instructions. But let me get back to it.

Yahushuah is Israel, the kingdom of God— the firstborn Son and the only literal Son of God. You can not perceive the truth if you are not born from above. The next thing that Yahushuah responded to the Pharisee is this: “except if anyone be engendered by water and Wind, he can not be able to come into the Kingdom of God.” Yahushuah said that because he knows that he is the firstborn Son of God—that is, God’s house in whom God dwells. Paul clearly speaks about the fact that God, the deity, dwells in the flesh of Yahushuah Hamashiah.

Now, to be engendered from above, you have to go through a two-step process. Be baptized in water in the name of Yahushuah Hamashiach and baptized in the Spirit, which I have translated as wind because that is what the Greek term means. If you do not, you will not be able to come into the kingdom of God, Israel—the firstborn Son. The House of God!

Then Yahushuah says, “The thing that has been engendered by the flesh {is} flesh, and the thing that has been engendered by the Wind {is} wind.” This statement shows the difference between a natural man and a spiritual man, and we know that those who are natural—who live by the impulses and dictates of “the flesh”—are” not spiritual and therefore are not engendered from above. They are, in fact, at enmity with God and His Living Word: “But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 NASB

The last thing that Yahushuah says to the Pharisee is this: “The Wind blows where he intends and you hear his voice, but you do not know where he comes from and where he goes: everyone is engendered by the Wind in this way.” This is the process of rebirth from above. The wind blows, but to understand that statement, you have to understand what Yahushuah meant by what he said. So I will show you a verse and then tell you its meaning and significance.

“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.” John 6:63-64 NASB

The Greek word that is translated as “Spirit” is the Greek term “Pneuma.” It is the equivalent of the Hebrew term “Ruach.” Both of the terms mean “Wind.” This is why I translate it using the true translation of the Greek word. Most translations read, “The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” The translators' use of "spirit" in the verses above obscures the meaning and significance. They should be consistent, but they aren't, and they know Greek doesn't have capital letters, so they make wrong distinctions.

What translators don’t know is that the term pneuma has a belief system attached to it. The Stoic Greek philosophers of Greece and their followers in Rome believed that the logos traveled on the wind. That wind was capable of blowing into the bodies of humans and all matter of creation. They also believed that it was responsible for creating all the universe and was in fact the universe. I have said that God mocks the world's so-called wisdom, and Yahushuah is mocking that.

Yahushuah's point is that you won't be born from above unless He, the logos of God, blows on you. When he blows on you, the words of God enter you—your heart, that is, your mind. At that point you possess the mind of Hamashiach (Christ). We can see Yahushuah doing this as a parabolic pantomime—something that I am talking about in my articles—to his disciples.

“So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them and *said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” John 20:21-22 NASB

Yahushuah was not only giving life to those who had been dead in their sins; he also gave them an accurate understanding of the entire message of scripture.

“Now He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.” Luke 24:44-45

If you read the entire context of John 20 and Luke 24, you will see that these are the same events. Yahushuah showed them the holes in his hands and feet to assure them it was him. When he blew on them and told them to receive the Holy Spirit, or Wind, they received an accurate understanding of the scriptures. This is supported by Luke 24:45, which states, “Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.” They became engendered from above at that time. Their ability to speak in tongues was just a sign that they had received an accurate understanding of the writings of Moses and the prophets.

Yahushuah blew on them as a parabolic pantomime to mock the Stoic Greeks belief while at the same time hiding the truth of how one is engendered from above. The last reason he blew on his disciples, who were dead in their sins, was to show everyone who he is. By performing this action, Yahushuah demonstrates that he is the one who breathed life into our ancestor Adam's nostrils when his body lay lifeless on the ground from which it was formed. Yahushuah is the Most High God. This statement may raise many questions. Questions that I will only answer for those to whom God has granted accurate knowledge of the scriptures and who have connected with me. Our people are prone to jealousy, so I will allow you to express your feelings regarding the last statement. It makes no difference to me one way or the other. You believe it or you don’t. Why God chose me, a nobody, to see things that you don’t remains a mystery. I’m still trying to understand that one myself, and I have not come close to an answer.

Now that I have become long-winded in explaining what you need to know to be engendered from above, let me show you what John says about a person who is engendered from above.

“We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.” 1 John 5:18-20 NASB

John says that the one who is born or engendered of God does not sin. And now we have reached the point where I tell a few words to those pretenders who claim to

• Have an accurate understanding of the truth.
• Have fellowship with God while still indulging in the lust of the world for which you have claimed to be forgiven.

If you are still bound by the sins that you have been struggling with, I understand why. I was in a similar situation, putting my trust in the pastors I spent a significant portion of my life listening to, believing they had a precise grasp of the truth. It turned out they were empty cisterns that couldn’t hold water—the water of truth. I don't give advice for a reason, which I'll explain after the next comment. You must be honest with yourself and know that you can't hide from God. He knows exactly what you are doing, and he knows that you do not have an accurate understanding of the truth. Pretending is just a longer path to where the wicked end up. 

Yahushuah said this because you don't know the truth:

“So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?” Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.” John 8:31-38 NASB

As the Pharisees, many people make the assumption that Yahushuah is, for the most part, speaking in literal terms. This is why many people who claim to follow Yahushuah continue to fall victim to deception. I know because I was one of them. Yahushuah makes it obvious what slavery he is referring to. While many of our brothers can point out the fact that the Pharisees, who were not genetically descendants of Jacob, also did not know the history behind the previous bondage the Yahudim had endured with the Babylonians. However, a person remains enslaved by the Devil if they continue to sin. Yahushuah said that the only way one can be free from slavery to sin is through accurate knowledge of the truth. What John says contributes to a true and accurate understanding of the truth. He said,

“We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.” 1 John 5:18-20 NASB

In short, if you still sin, you're still a slave, and if you're still a slave, you don't have the truth that can free you. But you don’t have to listen to me. I am just one of two voices that will provide testimony before, and while this world is in the control of the Antichrist, that false god to whom it will be said, “ [Like Nimrod] [a Gibbor] [a chaser] [before {the} face of] [Yahuah]…” Genesis 10:9 —My Provisionary Hebrew Translation 

Those who tried to mock me and call me a false prophet will never understand the things that I have been writing and the things that I will present in the coming days before the return of Yahushuah, when he comes to gather us and the gentiles who made themselves one in Israel. At that time, we will be looking down at a ball of fire as Babylon—the Earth that Moses calls a woman—is being totally destroyed by the burning wrath of God. If you wish to avoid the fate of the wicked, it's time to put away those sins that you have continued to indulge by praying and desperately crying out to Yahuah to deliver you. It can be done; the will to believe is on you. 

I want to end by saying this: the apostle Paul speaks about how a person can experience freedom from sin. I guess many people—who can’t see—just miss the salient points in the book of Romans. One day, I will produce my translation so you can see what I saw when God delivered me at 4 A.M. on a late shift.

Until the next time!

Shalom.
