I have given a lot of attention to the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil that was in the Garden of Eden. I have also given attention to the Tree of Life that was there also in the Garden of Eden.

This brings me to another important piece of Information that I want to share with the reader.

Jesus was doing miracles there in the John 7:35 (KJV) Jesus said that we should Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

There were those there that knew that the Jews sought to take Jesus and have him killed.

[25] Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? [26] But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

It seems that the confusion here caused some doubt. Yet they felt that this was Jesus and that this was the Christ that should come to redeem Israel. Yet at the same time there were doubt that arose as to who this man that was teaching and doing miracles really was. They reasoned in themselves and said that they knew this one and where he came from. They were referring to the place that Jesus had grown and who his parents were. Even Jesus had brothers that did not accept his deity until after they saw the proof at the Cross. At that time many that doubted knew that this was and indeed was the real messiah. These here knew where he was from as I said, who his parents were and where he was raised.

[27] Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

Here we can see that they believed on him because of the miracles that he did, yet they could not see spiritually that this was indeed the messiah that was to come. The Old Testament prophets had foretold of the Messiah that was to come. They had like many today read the scriptures but had no insight or spiritual insight as to how and when he was to appear. Certainly the Pharisee’s were looking into the scriptures, yet they wanted to make everything conform to their belief. This is what many today do. They search the scripture to find eternal life, but they do it on their own terms. The Lord said for us to search the scriptures, for in them we think that we have eternal life; John 5:39 (KJV)

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Notice that those that have eternal life are the ones that testify of or about Jesus and know him through the spirit.

We are to overcome by our testimony. Rev. 12:11 (KJV)

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

What Jesus said to them that they knew that he was the Messiah and that he came to redeem them and forgive their sins and that no one could do the things that he did and not be of God. Even the Pharisee’s knew that he was come from God and if they had not known, they would not have anything to worry about, that it would soon pass. You might say that they all knew him from the least to the greatest. Most people today know who Jesus was, the problem is that to follow after him and walk in the spirit one must turn from his ways and this is what is hard for some to do. Listen to what he had to say to those that were discussing this matter as to who he was.

[28] Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. [29] But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. [30] Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. [31] And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

Isn’t it strange to hear these here say that? When the Christ is come, will he do more miracles than this man? Clearly they were looking at his flesh and not the things of the spirit.

[32] The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. [33] Then said Jesus unto them, yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. [34] Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. [35] Then said the Jews among themselves, whither will he go that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? [36] What manner of saying is this that he said; ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come? [37] In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, if any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. [38] He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. [39] (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Some that says that the Holy Ghost was only for the early church and their followers. This is proof beyond a shadow of doubt, as to the gift that was to be given to everyone that believes.

[40] Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, of a truth this is the Prophet. [41] Others said, this is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? [42] Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? [43] So there was a division among the people because of him. [44] And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

I would imagine that the Jews there would have liked for him to leave their domain and go to the dispersed of the Gentiles and just go away and leave them alone, especially the Pharisee’s.

Jesus was talking about his death and resurrection and going back to the Father to sit on his right hand of power.

Then said the Jews among themselves, whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

I suppose that they had read in the scripture where it said that he would go to the Gentiles to save those that would believe. This was something that the Jews could not comprehend, it was not a thing that a Jew would do. The Jews would be defiled if they were seen with the Gentiles. The Jews completely alienated the Gentiles and like a lot of people today that won’t go near a church or a person that speaks in tongues. There are those that say that those that speak with tongues are of the devil. I wonder what they say about the Lord when he was hanging on the cross and he began to speak in tongues.

Mark 15:34 (KJV)

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

There have been those that said to me, I speak in a new tongue after I got saved , I don’t curse and swear and say the things that I used too. My answer to those is, do you need someone to interpret the new tongue that you speak in. You sound like these here that were trying to figure out whether this was the Messiah or not. When Jesus comes you will still be trying to figure out the tongues that the Holy Ghost speaks through his believers. Now I don’t want to waste my valuable time on those that defy the deity of the Holy Ghost. I would say to you in a short sentence, the words that Stephen had for those Pharisee’s.

Acts 7:51-60 (KJV)

Ye stiff necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. [52] Which of the prophets have not your father's persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: [53] Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

[54] When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. [55] But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, [56] And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. [57] Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, [58] And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. [59] And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. [60] And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Paul at that time was one that was guilty of doing away with those who believed in Jesus Christ and who believed in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and those that Spoke in other tongues.

Paul later, after being saved and filled with the Holy Ghost, declared that he spoke with tongues mort that they all did. 1 Cor. 14:18 (KJV)

I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:

I realize that there is a lot of confusion in some churches and this is not what God would have. God does want to have understanding in the churches and not a lot of confusion. Yet some would not accept the fact that the Holy Ghost is for the church today and would give the excuse that because of the confusion that this move is of the devil and to be compared with of that at the tower of Babel. I suppose that if one wanted too, he could reason God himself from off the Throne and do away with him.

As long as we reason in our minds the things of this world and think according to the flesh; we can never come to know God. We can know of him, but to know him personally and to attest to the fact that he lives in our hearts and spirit through the Holy Ghost and that the spirit of the Holy Ghost talks and communicates with us today just like the Voice of God talked with Adam and Eve in the Garden, this would be absurd in someone who doesn’t want to change from the fleshly ways and walk in the spirit.

In this passage we can see that the way to the father is not by following the person of the miracles that is done by any one. we, must realize that Jesus himself was in the flesh and that he came to do that which was written in the word of God. We know that the tree of Good and Evil has in itself a message that is here being brought to light by the Lord himself. He doesn’t speak directly about the tree in the Garden. Jesus on the other hand is revealing to those who will receive it; the truth about the tree of knowledge of Good and evil. We must realize that the tree is as I have said afore, It is a way of life, and that way of life has existed ever since that of when man fell from the grace of God. The tree had both the knowledge to know both Good and Evil. we could ask what is so bad about knowing about Good and Evil. After all we are to recognize the difference of both Good and Evil that we might know how we should conduct our lives in this present world. That in itself is not wrong. When both Good and Evil is presented, we must make a choice. This is the whole plan of God, that is, we make the choices in our life that, either, will be good for us or bad for us. The consequences of those choices will, as the saying goes, will make us or break us. Picture in your mind if you will, there in the Garden, Adam and Eve, who knew not any Evil that is they didn’t even know that they were naked. We look at an animal and the animal shows all of its private parts to us and we don’t see any wrong in that. A dog can groom his or her private parts and we don’t think anything about it. Now, on the other hand when we expose out nakedness to each other, what takes place, We are either very ashamed, or we begin to do what?... Some of us and most of us begin to Lust after that which we see. A woman can expose her nakedness and a male will jump off the cliff just to get a glimpse. What was the difference of that of an animal and that of a human. Satan when he approached Eve. he had the ability to show her fame and that the fame he showed here opened her eyes to the knowledge that she could not only know what good is, she also could lust after the things of the world, after all, Satan had been given, by God the whole world to roam in and had adorned him with wisdom and beauty that none other or any of the other Angles had ever been crowned with. It is like a beauty pageant where there is only one crowned with a golden crown and everyone stands back with awe and looks upon the winner and admires her for her beauty and talents and that she has been placed upon a pinnacle and she represents that of total approval of those she represents, She then goes on tour and expresses the thoughts and minds of those that cannot make the grade. She has become the one that all should adore. Satan showed that Eve being a woman and that the beauty that she had from God was that of the same beauty that he had and no doubt he made it perfectly clear to her that he and she were the most admired ones in the Garden and that with the beauty that both had been given, if they were to team up together that they would not only be admired by all the host of Heaven, they would be able to have everyone else fall under their command. The results are very simple.

Eve turned to her husband Adam, and said look at what I have gotten.

When Adam saw her; he saw with the help of all of the Angles; who admired her with flattery.

Adam thought in himself; as saw the most beautiful creature, what she had took; He could not be left to stand by himself and he too took of the same fruit and at that precise moment their eyes were opened to the majestic fame of the world. I can imagine that he Lusted for her with a burning lust that he had not had and he wanted to go into her and fulfill the burning desire and the more he desired the more he wanted to fulfill that desire. Satan then had gotten what he wanted. Satan wanted to take away from the heart of Adam and Eve the Good and replace it with a burning desire to fulfill the desires of the flesh. When the Lust spirit went into Adam and Eve and was conceived in their hearts, then God’s Spirit took second place and I believe that God’s Spirit became grieved to the point that the spirit which is God found that it had been dislodged, causing God to respond by coming to the problem to make inquiry to what was going wrong and what had happened with the fellowship that he had with Adam and Eve. That fellowship was no longer the same. God then come to Adam and Eve and could not find them . The Spirit went searching for them. The Spirit cried out to them, “where are you” .Genesis 3:9 (KJV)

And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

They replied. “ we hid ourselves’ Genesis 3:10 (KJV)

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

All of a sudden condemnation came over them and they realized that to lust after the flesh, would bring shame. They realized that as an animal knows no wrong in his nature to show his privates parts, they now could not show their private parts. In doing so, not only they, but all that would be born to them would look to the flesh and lust toward one another. They hid themselves among the trees. The trees that they hid themselves were in my opinion were other beings there whether they were Angles who had transformed themselves in the same type of body and was there for them to dwell among or that it might had been that God had made more than just Adam and Eve, I believe that God when he mad Adam and Eve, he also made more people on this earth and that was for a reason, The bible does record where God made both male and female and it mentions more than just one male and one female.

Genesis 1:26-28 (KJV)

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. [27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. [28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

When we look at what God said to them, male and female, he wanted for them to be blessed and did bless them, and then he said for them to replenish the Earth. I ask the question, how could you replenish the earth if it had not been occupied before that time?. The earth had been occupied by Satan and he had corrupted it to the point that it became void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. We know that Sin is Darkness and we know that Void means that the presence of God does not anymore exist. We can imagine that when he said the word deep. that could only mean the Ocean.

Now let stop and think a moment.

When we think of the Deep, we must realize that the word Deep means more than just the depth of the sea or a well or a hole. Let us see what strong dictionary would say the meaning is. »Strong's Help tehowm, Hebrew 8415, Strong's tehowm, teh-home'; or tehom, teh-home'; (usually feminine) from Hebrew 1949 (huwm); an abyss (as a surging mass of water), especially the deep (the main sea or the subterranean water-supply) :- deep (place), depth. »Strong's Help huwm, Hebrew 1949, Strong's huwm, hoom; a primitive root [compare Hebrew 2000 (hamam)]; to make an uproar, or agitate greatly :- destroy, move, make a noise, put, ring again. »Strong's Help hamam, Hebrew 2000, Strong's hamam, haw-mam'; a primitive root [compare Hebrew 1949 (huwm), Hebrew 1993 (hamah)]; properly to put in commotion; by implication to disturb, drive, destroy :- break, consume, crush, destroy, discomfit, trouble, vex.

We can see that if we keep running the reference to the word deep that it has multiple different meanings. Let's say that the deep that was referred to here is the imaginary then we could get the full meaning of what the Spirit was saying, although, the one that penned the words, could not have known the meaning of what this was referring to himself. And by this I am not saying that the one that wrote the words did not know what he was writing about and did not know what it meant, it could have been that the writher knew and was not allowed to reveal all of the meaning to everyone. We do know that certain things that God revealed to man, he stopped them from writhing them and withheld them for a reason. God had a plan from the very beginning and we must be able to recognize that the plan of God was to Share his existence with his children, just like we, as parents, want to share with our children the same joy that we experience, especially the true happiness and love that we have. God gave this to Satan his most admired Angle and Satan took that honor and corrupted it while he occupied this earth, for however long that was, we cannot know the answer to that. We do know from the writhing and the commandants in the above passage that Those he created he created those in his likeness and image. We know that his Image is Jesus Christ and that all things exist through him and by him. Col. 1:16-17 (KJV)

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: [17] And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

God wanted those that he created to replenish the earth This meant that the earth had been occupied before that man was made. and when he took man from the earth the earth was full of sin and sin covered all the earth and the habitation that God had placed Satan into had been corrupted so bad that the earth could not produce anything that would glorify or bring glory to God. Just as God sent his son Jesus into the flesh, the flesh had been corrupted and was as filthy as rags. Isaiah 64:6 (KJV)

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness's are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Even the Law that was given on Mt Sinai could not make one righteousness and we were doomed to hell, all of us were separated from God, just like Adam and Eve became separated from God. God reached down to this sin darkened and sin stained world that Satan had corrupted and made void, God reached down into the dry dust of the earth and grabbed a handful of dust and breathed upon it and it became alive and then he took that soul that was now living and God prepared a Garden and put the man he had made into it and began to fellowship with this individual and he blessed him and then he gave to him a helpmeet to bring even more joy to his heart. That is why Satan could not stand idly by and let God put into existence the life that God wanted to share with his children. Satan had this and he took and threw it all away just so he could be the one that everyone would admire. Satan couldn’t sit idly by and let this happen. This is why he wanted to corrupt man just as he corrupted the earth. he wanted to make man void of understanding and to cause the imaginary of man’s mind to flow toward the ways that he instituted. Satan wanted man in his environment . Satan today wants us to enter his environment and to dwell in darkness just as he likes to dwell in darkness. When God said, Genesis 1:3 (KJV)

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Satan could not dwell in the light of God, just as Adam and Eve hid themselves in the Garden, Satan controls the darkness and wants each of us to live in darkness and wants to make the word of God void in our hearts. The passage states for man to subdue the earth God told them to have dominion over everything and that included Satan and his Fallen Angles. God at this era was placing into his Image, Jesus Christ, the plan for his house to be filed with children. Luke 14:23 (KJV)

And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

God wants us to come into his house and experience the Joy that he has in store for us. we cannot imagine the joy that awaits us. 1 Cor. 2:9 (KJV)

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. God has from the beginning prepared for us a place to dwell and he has many mansions waiting for us.

John 14:2 (KJV)

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

John 7:24-44 (KJV)

We all want to be with God, that is those who love God, but sometime we are like those that were there in the Temple where Jesus was teaching, we are like those there, we see the man in the picture and we see the marvelous works that God does by the Holy Ghost, yet we still are not satisfied and find ourselves falling away when trials and temptations come our way. It seems that the power of the ministry just done seem to last through the week. We find ourselves looking for someone to meet the need over and over again and then when our needs are not met we look somewhere else for the answer to our problems. This is what was going on here with these individuals. They were looking at the Man, yes they only saw Jesus as a Man, and This is why that Jesus said for them not to call him good..Matthew 19:17 (KJV)

And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

What Jesus was trying to convey to those there was that as long as he was in the form of a human, that he was to do all that his father had commanded him to do and until that was completed he was saying that he was much human and felt the pains of the human flesh and until he had completed and finished all that he came for, he himself wanted no glory at all, that he was to be made lower than the Angles and was to suffer the pains of death and darkness and this was necessary for each of us to be delivered from the darkness that was placed on us and in us. Adam and Eve only knew God and God’s presence until Satan caused them to sin, after that they knew just like Jesus knew and became acquainted with grief and sorrow. Jesus wanted them to know God as God is and not as he was in the flesh, Jesus wanted them to know God through the Spirit of the Holy Ghost and that was the only way that they could know the father, This is how he knew where he came from and where he existed before he came into the world. It was the Holy Ghost that brought him to this world and it was the Holy Ghost that lifted him from the depth of Hell and took him up to the throne to set him on the right hand of the Majesty. Jesus was saying, although all power was given him in heaven, this power was to let us know that as he told Adam and Eve to Subdue the earth, he was getting ready to subdue that which was in existence from the beginning. The reason they did not lay hands on him and take him was that God the father wasn’t through with the plan he had placed into existence from the beginning. I want you to understand that we are to subdue all things and through the power of the Holy Ghost, we have the dominion over Satan and it is high time that we understand that he has no power over us as long as we know Jesus Christ and as long as the Holy Ghost is in us. God wanted man to replenish the world and that is what we are to do while we walk in this fleshly tabernacle. We are to subdue and to take dominion. first of all, our own lives and then to reach out to those who are under the dominion of Satan and pull them from the flames of Hell. God’s people are like these people here, we see the works of God being done in our mist and yet we identify with the man or woman that the works are being done through and if Jesus said not to call him good as long as he was in the flesh, where do we get the idea that we can exalt a preacher or anyone in fact to a level that would deprive Jesus the exalted, the conqueror of our faith. No we, as Paul stated, we know Jesus no more after the flesh, 2 Cor. 5:16 (KJV)

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.

The reason Paul said this is, that Jesus is not on the cross anymore and a lot of us want to keep him on the cross, He is not here, these words were spoken to those who sought him among the tombs. Matthew 28:6-7 (KJV)

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. [7] And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

Our message is that of the same as this passage that stated to judge not according to the outward appearance. We cannot go where he is as long as we identify Christ with that of how great a preacher or anyone else is. Why do we look to each other for that which we desire. We are looking among the tombs when we look to the flesh. We need our Eyes opened to see where the good is. We know that in this flesh there is no good thing. why do we trust in the flesh with such precious gift as our salvation and believe everything that men say and not go to the Father and Jesus Christ through the Holy Ghost for the answers to all of our needs.

Jesus told them that where he goes that they cannot go. Why would he say that to them? He sure threw them for a loop. They wanted to know where he was going and started to reason within themselves as to what he meant. This is the way we are today. God brings to us the word and it might come through a preacher or through the printed article and the first thing we do is to reason in ourselves and we begin to make that individual a pedestal to place that one on. God after awhile when one is exalted instead of Jesus, will have to bring that individual down off of that pedestal and that when he comes down he usually takes a lot of people that have put their confidence in him, to fall flat on their face, sometime it takes years for them to get back up.

These here asked, “will he go among the dispersed of the Gentiles?.

They also believed on him, but not as the messiah, they said that they knew where he comes from, that being from Nazareth and Bethlehem. You see they did not know him after the Spirit, they only knew that he could do many miracles and said that when the Messiah comes will he do more miracles than this man? Here is a perfect example of how many today that follows men and miracles and put their trust in the man instead of Jesus and they find that after the miracles stop they fall away and can’t seem to rise above that of the flesh and go back to what they were doing before they came to Jesus. The seed needs and wants Good Soil in order to grow and to produce fruit. Why is the church today making it’s brags about such great revivals that are taking place, yet the devil is devouring souls all around us and next door to us and all we can do is go on a plane or trip far off to find a place that will tell us what we want to hear and when we come out most of the time we are like these here in this passage, we wonder where it all went. The bible does not tell us to run here and there when they say that he is in the desert or secret place. Luke 17:23 (KJV)

And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

Luke 17:24-37 (KJV)

For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. [25] But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. [26] And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. [27] They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. [28] Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; [29] But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. [30] Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. [31] In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. [32] Remember Lot's wife. [33] Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. [34] I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. [35] Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [36] Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [37] And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

I ask the question. Is it not like the days of Noah? Is it not like the days of Lot?

What was those days like that we are experiencing today. When Noah found Grace was not evil everywhere and the minds of everyone upon evil continually? In Lot’s days was not Homosexual and perversion on every hand and everywhere? Were not the rulers of the cities of Sodom and Gomorra taken over by the Homosexuals. They even came to take to themselves the Angles that were there to destroy the cities.

What is so surprising is that Lot himself had become willing to let these perverts take his daughters that were virgins. He was trying to protect God. We today stand in the balances and we too, like Lot, think in ourselves that we need to defend the Gospel and to protect the things that are supposed to be of God. God does not need us to defend him, God can and will defend us. We are the ones that need defense. When Noah found Grace, he was commanded to build an ark and to take his household into the ark. Now we know that an Ark is where God meets and communicates with us and protects us from harm. The trouble we don’t want to follow the master architect's blueprints. we want to add to the plan our own ideals. The Angles had to pull Lot from destruction and we are to pull men out of the fire ourselves, and to pull men out of the fire, we need the anointing of the Holy Ghost and when we go forth under the anointing the signs will follow. I wonder today and in the past why I could not see the signs come to pass in my ministry. and that is the point, My ministry and that not of God’s ministry that works in me. You see I have come to realize that paying tithes and goings to church and preaching is not what gets the job done for God. The thing that will break the bonds is when we apply ourselves to being obedient to God’s Holy Ghost and when we let the Holy Ghost flow thorough our lives and when he comes into our lives and becomes the ruler, he will only do that that glorifies the Lord Jesus and not man.

Jesus said that where he was going that they could not come or go. Why ? It is evident that they knew him as a man and not that of The Holy Ghost. the Holy Ghost had not been given, although he prayed for them to receive it, it would only come to those who would seek to find it. Those who wanted God to work in their lives in the fulness of the Godhead.

They thought that he was going to the Jews that had been dispersed among the Gentiles and those Jews could not defile themselves to associate with a Gentile and you can see why he said that they could not go or come to where he was going. They could only identify with the flesh and a lot of people today in and out of the church buildings and organizations today only identify with that of a degree and or that of someone else’s approval.

I heard one preacher say that if he could be seen with Jimmy Swag art that the foolishness in his church would be put to silence. My God how ignorant can we be. When the Messiah cometh will he do greater miracles that this man doeth? If the Holy Ghost wants to work through his people and he comes into our church. would we say that also. Are we in such control in the church that the Holy Ghost is shoved into a corner or is not welcome into our mist? What do you think? I believe that the Holy Ghost is the most abused instrument of the God Head. Every believes in God, or so they say. How can we know the God and the Lord Jesus Christ without the knowing him by the Holy Ghost? No man can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Ghost. That means that we cannot know Jesus and God the Father except that we know him through the Spirit of the Holy Ghost. I can forgive you all day long and you can accept that forgiveness and go on your merry way and not know anything about me or what my ways are. That is what people want to do with the Grace of God. It is no trouble for me to accept forgiveness, To know God and his plan for my life and what he wants' from me and how to perform that I cannot find. as Paul said, to do good I find not. Paul wrestled with himself until he became so miserable and like a lot of us today we wrestle with ourselves to the point that we don’t know what to do next. Paul found that he, himself had no power in his flesh to accomplish anything and all he did was cause chaos in his life. Paul went to the back of the Arabian desert and got along with God and there he, whether in the Spirit of in the body, he could not tell, was caught up and saw things that was not lawful to utter. Pau spent his remaining ministry trying to convey to the church those Spiritual things that he saw and that was the hardest thing for him to accomplish. when the flesh is involved, you can calm the ocean but you cannot calm the troubles of one that walks in the flesh and not the things of the Spirit.

Spiritual things are only for those that are Spiritual and if the Spiritual man is not there the things of God are not revealed to them.

Jesus went to the Father whence he came from and left us the Holy Ghost and with the Holy Ghost, we can make a difference in this world and we can have and do have dominion, we are to subdue and through the Holy Ghost we are to replenish this world with God’s children,

The Grace of God has since the coming of Jesus held back the wrath of God and has place the hand of God upon the Dam that contains the wrath of God and as soon as Jesus Rises from off the Right Hand Of God, that Dam will be let loose and as water that has been flowing into that Dam, the sin of this world and Satan through his deception, has fill the earth once again with darkness and makes it void to those who will follow his devices. Evil is everywhere and the Marriages of the Homes are in trouble and Homosexuality and perversion is everywhere and as the scripture states that when the say peace, peace, then come the sudden destruction.

We that are Spiritual have the following comfort and I think it would be meet to place these words into this passage for your learning and if we would follow the advice of the following that we would be comforted to know that these words would deliver us up to the father and he will say well done my faithful servant.

We are not to be Ignorant to what is happening, If we are ignorant it is because we choose to be or we have let ourselves be deceived into becoming ignorant.

Paul wrote these scriptures to the Thessalonians to warn them and to comfort them as to what would take place in the coming of the Lord.

1 Thes. 4:13-5:24 (KJV)

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. [14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus, will God bring with him. [15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. [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. [18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

[5:1] But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. [2] For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. [3] For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. [5] Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. [6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. [7] For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. [8] But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. [9] For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, [10] Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. [11] Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

[12] And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; [13] And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. [14] Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. [15] See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. [16] Rejoice evermore. [17] Pray without ceasing. [18] In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. [19] Quench not the Spirit. [20] Despise not prophesyings. [21] Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. [22] Abstain from all appearance of evil. [23] And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. [24] Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

Psalm 23:1-6 (KJV)

A Psalm of David.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. [2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. [3] He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. [4] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. [5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. [6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

I want to deal with some things that has been covered in the writings of the article, or book, I would like to call it a document. As a document it is to record that which is given to someone, in this, I feel that I have been given by the Holy Ghost a deeper insight as to knowing what God has placed into existence. We sometime and I might say a majority of people read the word of God and to know what the word is revealing to the reader takes some considerable digging, or should I say, removing the overburdens. The miner that is seeking Gold or a precious stone, he, or she will have to remove the mass of dirt or dig deep under the dirt, and, rocks that hide from them the real genuine diamond or Gold, or whatever precious material that on is seeking. In searching the word of God, we have to do the same thing figural speaking, we need to dig down deep into the word to find the real message that God has placed into the Word for us to be sustained in our everyday lives. One thing that I want the reader to understand is that God has not written the word of God, that it would and cannot be understood, as some has said. There is those that believe that God word cannot be understood fully by us human beings. I fine this is a copout for an excuse for those that believe that to, well, relieve them of the responsibility of searching and removing the over burden, like that of a miner.

The reader must understand that God has instituted into Jesus Christ a solution to all of mankind's needs and desires. God made the world and all things that exist in Jesus Christ. Col. 1:17 (KJV)

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Notice that this verse states right up front that Jesus is before all things, This is why that we must put him before any decision that is to be made, if we are to know what God has placed in his plan for us. You and I cannot find or arrive at completion until we realize this first of all. Most, when reading and trying to understand The book of Revelation, want to start this revelation from the time that John was on the Isle of Patmos. This is a mistake, You cannot make the revelations of this book be understood by this method. Revelation must be taken back, and way back, before time ever came into existence. To say that Revelation started at Patmos, is saying that Jesus did not exist before that time. To many he did not exist to them. That does not limit him to that existence...that of when he real exists to a individual. Jesus said right up front to John. Rev. 1:11 (KJV)

Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

I could refer the reader to many more passages that tell of his existence, where he was before all things, and that all things exists through him. I have already in these writing revealed that to the reader, so I shall continue on to what I feel is very important.

When we sit down to a computer we can look at the monitor in front of us and can in an instant see what our mind is trying to reveal and the actions of our fingers as we type this information on the keyboard. As long as it is on the screen of the monitor, it is in an unsafe state, and by that I mean that anything can happen, such as the power can go off or the computer hard drive can crash, causing you to lose all of your thoughts that you have typed into the computer. I had that to happen to me, as, one day I typed those things that The Spirit revealed to me into the computer, for about two and half hours I was receiving such an anointing and was so involved in the typing that I forgot to save it and, you guessed it, the power went off and there went from the computer memory all that I had typed for those two and half hours. I said in despair, Oh No, I tried to recover it and to no avail all was lost on the computer. Now I have and do keep in mind to save the information every few minutes. This is the way it is with reading the Word of God, and that is why The Lord caused the ones that received the word of God to write it in what we call the bible, or a group of books. John made mention of the fact that all the things that Jesus did was not recorded in the Bible and couldn’t, because the world itself couldn’t contain the books that would record all the things that Jesus did. John 21:25 (KJV)

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

Some would say that the Bible and the saying is all that God wants us to understand, and I would be the first to admit that if we understood the bible and held it in our hearts and walked in it, yes, it is sufficient to take you through this world. I also have to hold onto the Idea that God is still speaking to his prophets today and has spoken to his prophets every since the beginning and has revealed to those his prophesies and I am convinced that all that God has revealed, that, it has not been recorded. These words in this text or document, I believe, has been given to me through the Holy Ghost and that the Holy Ghost still today and will until the Lord comes back, is spiritual and is beneficial and does not in any way take away from that which is written in the Bible. I never want to add to the Bible, or, take anything away from the Bible, and I know that it is the Inspired word of God.

I guess I should at this time get into what I have received by the Spirit, That is, how important it is to each of us to realize that, and we must understand, that when all things came into existence that Jesus was there and he was before it all. I want the reader to understand that for to receive from God, you must see that which, not only exists at the time of the need or occasion, you must see that any and every answer or solution to that which we need or desire, has been before the foundation of the world, and the answer or solution was placed into Jesus Christ before it ever existed in this existence. What I am saying to the reader is, that you cannot exist yourself and did not just come into existence when you were conceived in the womb nor when your mother and father came into existence, you were there in Jesus Christ before the world and the Heavens were in existence. I believe that unless that the existence of the world and those things that exists in the world, had they not have been in Jesus Christ they could not have existed at all. John 1:3 (KJV)

All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.

David in the Twenty Third Psalm revealed this to the reader if we will dig into the truth of just what David was saying, In fact what he and all the others that wrote the Bible, all that they said and recorded, was in essence written or recorded in Jesus Christ before it was spoken by that individual. Notice in the Twenty Third Psalm, how that David, when he speaks, he speaks of that which is and was already. It just doesn’t comes to the screen like a computer doesn’t bring it on the monitor, until it is typed, and it cannot be typed until the mind receives and when it is typed it has to be saved onto the hard drive and after it is save onto the hard drive, it then can be printed out and this is what we call a hard cope. At that point it is ready to become the instructions, or like a road map, will lead the reader to the understanding of the mind that has received this information, At this point, the writing, and the information that has come from either God or the enemy becomes available to the one that needs to receive it. Then the individual, at that point, can take the information and place it into their memory y and go away enlightened to that which he or she might benefit or, on the other hand, this information could damage this individual, This is why it is important for us to know God through the Holy Ghost. It doesn't mean that we are not to be exposed to just the Holy and Just things, we are confronted with all sorts of information, We can, like a computer, and do have the ability to filter out certain things that are not for our benefit. The computer has filters in its system that will filter out evil things, such as, pornography, and any other things that we don’t want to have come before our eyes.

We are to pray without ceasing. 1 Thes. 5:17 (KJV)

Pray without ceasing.

You see the more that we rejoice and pray and give thanks to God, we turn on the filter that filters those object able devices that Satan throw at us. We are to put on the whole armor of God. Why, We as soldiers of the Lord are vulnerable to the attack of the enemy. Unless we have the armor of God, we are like a soldier in battle without a weapon and without any training. We would not send a soldier to the battle field to fight and defend our nation and freedom without we give him the most extensive training and arm him with the tools and weapons that would take the enemy out of action. I can’t sometime understand how that God delivers us as much as he does, the way that we face the enemy. God’s people must and I reemphasize they must be equipped with whole armor of God.

David had his moments that he looked like he would and should be destroyed by God, We must see that David had something that kept him in good standing with God, after all he was the apple of Gods eye. Deut. 32:10 (KJV)

He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

Zech. 2:8 (KJV)

For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

God placed into Jesus Christ a plan and that plan cannot be disannulled by our actions. God proved this with David and he also proved his majesty over and over with those that were call according to his will.

Daniel 4:35 (KJV)

And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

Israel, the ones he called out to make his name great, they made an agreement with hell, only to find that God disannulled it. Isaiah 28:18 (KJV)

And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

If you and I think that what we do can stop God from accomplishing his will; then we are fools.

Isaiah 14:24 (KJV)

The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

Isaiah 14:26-27 (KJV)

This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. [27] For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

Ephes. 1:9 (KJV)

Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

Ephes. 3:11 (KJV)

According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

So, to the reader I say, whatever decision that you make, whether it be of God or of Satan, God has known this before the world began and has placed in Jesus Christ a solution and for us to know what the solution is, we cannot compare the things of the world or the flesh, or, should I say the outward appearance to the will of God. We must speak that which is there in Jesus Christ and the only way that we can speak and know what the mind or the things that God placed in Jesus before the world came into existence, is to be Filled with the Holy Ghost and to have the Holy Ghost is to have the mind of God the Father and Jesus Christ his son available at all times and in every give situation. This is why that it states that when we have done all that we know to do, then we are to stand. Stand on what, not our ability, we are to stand upon that, like David did, David did not stand on his own righteousness, had he done that he would lose the battle, David said, as he was going to battle, Shall I go Up. 2 Samuel 2:1 (KJV)

And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.

2 Samuel 5:19 (KJV)

And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.

1 Chron. 14:10 (KJV)

And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.

Are you being defamed by Satan?. Is he throwing the fiery darts at you continuously? What damage has he done to you? Take the shield of Faith, that you may quench all, It says ALL, of the fiery darts. not just a few, but all.

You may ask how this is possible?. First you need to approach God. A lot of people want someone else to approach God for them, like the children of Israel, when they were in sin and disobedient to the will of God.

Exodus 34:35 (KJV)

And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the veil upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

When we come into the mount of God and the only way that we can approach God is through his Grace and his Spirit. The Holy Ghost will make our face to shine with brightness, Eccles. 8:1 (KJV)

Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

This that was spoken long before the Day of Pentecost, came to light in Peter and in Stephen as they boldly stood in front of the Devil and his followers and proclaimed the word of God and those that were there couldn’t understand the wisdom that they had, especially peter, He was unlearned in this world’s wisdom. God infused him with power from on High and put in his mouth a sword and that sword was a two edged sword and it cut into the hearts of those that stood there. This sword went down to the marrow of the bones and thousands were converted and added to the church. This is what the prophet was talking about in Eccles. 8.1. O my God, we need today an outpouring of the Spirit, not an outpouring of a will worship, but the true outpouring of the Holy Ghost. Most Christians and preachers are ashamed to Say... “Holy Ghost” they want to be careful to not run those that sit there in front of them, after all they are making merchandise of Jesus and this was told in the New Testament, that many would come saying” that Jesus was Christ” Luke 21:8 (KJV)

And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

Many speak of Christ with their mouth, but their hearts are far from God. Their hearts are far from the truth. We are not to go after them. Why would he not want us to go after them?. 2 Peter 2:3 (KJV)

And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

»Strong's Help plastos, Greek 4112, Strong's plastos, plas-tos'; from Greek 4111 (plasso); moulded, i.e. (by implication) artificial or (figurative) fictitious (false) :- feigned.

This is why that I say, that we don’t need any more books, and I have had reservations as to how and what is the reason of this book. There is a book for just about anything that might be thought of. Certainly, we are to give and not to receive, although it is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35 (KJV)

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

When we look at these ministers on TV and listen to all of the lectures of how that we are to tithe and to give and to send for this book or tape, it kindly sticks into your crow, and if you let it, you would owe them. Paul had some words to say about giving, and we know that God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Cor. 9:7 (KJV)

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

There is many ways to Give, the first way is to give of ourselves, Paul said that he sought the person not their wealth. 2 Cor. 12:14 (KJV)

Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

Do you stand and demand that your children pay to you tithes and give something that most of the time, they don’t have. It makes me sick to see a pastor stand in a large Cathedral and lay a guilt trip on the people to get enough money to keep the big beautiful church building going and maybe and even so, some widow that is there can’t even buy the food that she needs for her children. or even for herself, she no doubt scrubs and irons and have gotten callus's so that she can keep that minister, or whatever he is, I have my opinions, and I will not waste my words on this foolishness, Yes that big preacher standing with his suit and mouth can drive the best because he practiced how to lay a guilt trip on the people, Where do we go. Maybe we base it on Solomon, we all like to be Solomon’s. Solomon took the wealth and he concluded that he had missed the whole point, and said that all was vain. Eccles. 1:2 (KJV)

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

Who are you, Where did you get you credentials? and what for? . Do you lay grievous burdens on the people and not lift one finger to relieve them. What is the Credentials of that of Jesus Christ as he walked on the dusty paths, Look at his Credentials, John 13:6-17 (KJV)

Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? [7] Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. [8] Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. [9] Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. [10] Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. [11] For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. [12] So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? [13] Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. [14] If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. [15] For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. [16] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. [17] If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

In these passages, does it show him sitting in Gold Chairs and doing all these great things to be seen of men. Remember the false prophet, he will be able to do great miracles in the sight of the beast. Rev. 13:14 (KJV)

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

What is the Image of the beast?, Remember that in the Garden of Eden, There it was said that the Devil was more Subtle than any of the beast of the field. Genesis 3:1 (KJV)
