1. Faith in there being One God, who is Love, and that you are one with Him
2. Knowing that there is a FALSE-EGO inside you pretending to be you
3. Allowing God to do the powerful good works He has planned for you to do, to help
These are the topics that I would like to cover to assist those of us who sincerely want to help other people enter into the same oneness and love that is in God, in such a powerful way, that this whole world will manifestly (physically) be changed.
Many of you know that I am in Christ Jesus of Nazareth. But unlike many who are called christians, I understand that it was by FAITH in God that Abraham was considered righteous by God and became the father of all who would ever be blessed to be one with God. Look again, and see, it is the faith in the one God of love that saves. So this message is to everyone who has that faith, in Christ Jesus, or one with God in Love, etc. Okay, now you know whether I am addressing this to you or not. ( I am not one of those condemn you to Hell fundie christians)
Next, I wrote a message about this dead-man that is inside of EVERY person. He is a false-ego pretending to be you for your entire life. He is the one meant to be destroyed and he is trying to destroy you also. Please see my thread:
http://www.godlikeproductions.com/bbs/message.php?messageid=267905&mpage=&showdate=There is absolutely nothing wrong with YOUR REAL EGO, as it is your true self created by God, and is the Person and unique personality which God loves as you. All the teachings on this planet that teach to kill the ego are LIES. It is the dead-man who is your FALSE-EGO who wants you to believe you must kill your true ego self to please God. It is the dead-man who is full of PRIDE, not you. You have to stop listening to him and stop thinking that HE IS YOU!
In other words if your blend of personhood is 100% blended with your dead-man, then you are as anti-GOD as he is, by your own choices. Most people are only partly blended with their dead-man, or partly in agreement with him, and they are, because he has been deceiving them for their entire life. Do not be ashamed. You can begin to hear the difference in his voice in your mind if you want to get free of his influence. He sounds just like you; he uses the sound, in your mind, of your own voice. He is not you, in any way. Once you have found him out it will be even more easy to know when he is speaking because he will become desparate to keep control of you. Ask God to help you fight giving into (agreeing with) his THOUGHTS. His thoughts, are NOT your thoughts. This is a HUGE INTERNAL WAR.
If you want to be EFFECTIVE in these so-called end times in helping other people, your self, your family, your neighborhood and the whole world, then YOU MUST CRUCIFY THIS DEAD MAN INSIDE YOU. His voice must diminish while your real voice increases. The more you DENY agreeing with his thoughts, the more he dies off.
Here is an example. Let's say that every time you see a fat person, you have a voiced thought in your mind that says, wow look at that tub of lard! That is the dead-man saying that. So, if you stop and say, that's not me, I would not think something like that. God loves people who are overweight and so do I. Well, the next time, the dead man will try it again, and again, but after a few more tries, he will stop, you have defeated him on that one. This is a battle people. Ask the Holy Spirit of God to help you with it, because it is the Holy Spirit's explicit role in our lives to do this cleansing work in us; to kill those things out of you, that you have agreed with, from the dead-man.
How do I know? Long before I ever learned from God about the dead man, I was attacked in my mind with thoughts that were so absurd, because I would never say them, that I thought they were demons. God allowed this when I was a young christian in 1979, to teach me. It was only years later that the Holy Spirit revealed to me all this understanding of who this dead-man is.
Now, if you are unwilling to look inside your own mind and find your dead-man then he will continue to control you to whatever extent you have allowed, all the way until the end of your physical life; and you may be less effective in living out your God ordained destiny of being a blessing to the entire world. Before I move on to the last point, I know, right now that your dead-man is thinking your thoughts FOR YOU, to convince you that you do not have any such person within you.
3. Allowing God to do the powerful good works He has planned for you to do, to help
Now that you are in process of cleansing (sanctification, crucifying the dead-man), you are ready to be prepared to enter into all the Mighty, Powerful, and Annointed Works of God that He planned for you. You must Enter His Rest.
Pause:
The dead-man says I am a christian. I am a seeker of God. I have had experiences with God, I know He is in my heart. I do good works, I am kind, I love. I dont believe in a God that punishes. blah blah blah
He is speaking FOR YOU! tell him to shut up
You see, the dead-man is a LIAR. He says he is a believer, a spiritual person, a good person, a faith filled Holy Spirit filled christian, or whatever, as long as HE CONTROLS YOU, as long as he makes you think that the real you is him, his voice, his thoughts.
Always Always Always ask God (the Holy Spirit) to assist you in killing his thoughts and eventually finishing him off. Only God's power can do this, and God designed it this way so that you can learn from God, trust God, and be closer to God, and be more like God, and more at one with God.... which is exactly what the dead-man does NOT want you to do.
UnPause:
So you see.. this process is ESSENTIAL before you can Enter God's Rest. (God just taught me this, this very moment). Because now I know what our work has been. Our work has been this process of shedding this dead-man off of us with God's help. This is what is meant by working out our salvation with fear and trembling, running the good race of faith, sanctification, and crucifying the flesh which is this dead-man.
I have some scripture for you about Entering God's Rest so that you can see how important it is from God's point of view, that we do so.
Heb 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
You can read that whole section and the writer describes how the children of Israel under Moses refused to believe God was able to take the promise land FOR THEM, and therefore because of their UNBELIEF, they could not Enter into His Rest.
Heb 4:11 Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Heb 3:15 While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Heb 3:16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
Heb 3:17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
Heb 3:18 And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
Heb 3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Heb 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
Here is the crucial verse. We do not want to come short of Entering His Rest. The reason is, that once we do, THEN, and ONLY THEN, will God release His almighty POWER, THROUGH US. Then the works that God planned that we would do by our own FREE WILL and being totally, 100% ONE with Him, will be unleashed upon the whole world. God wants to make you into a WONDER OF THE WORLD. You will do even greater works than Jesus did.
So, even while you are in process, killing off your dead-man which is work that you must be willing to do, together with God guiding you, you can be IN HIS REST. Trust Him for the exact timing in your life when He will transform you completely into the Image of His Son. God will kill off the remainder of the dead-man with DEATH, leaving, left over, only YOU AND GOD.
In other words, we are resting from our works, and surrendering completely to GOD for the LAST STEP, which is GLORIFICATION. You can NOT GLORIFY YOURSELF! Only God can Glorify you. You can sanctify yourself by entering the WILDERNESS, where you allow God to assist you in killing your dead-man. You have to cleanse all his anti-God ideas out of yourself, since you have agreed with them willingly.
Okay, lets talk percentages. Because if you are sincerely working with these understandings, then I know you want an idea of how far along you may be in the process, or how much farther you need to go. Obviously I can not tell you the answer to those questions. However I do know that if you embark on this Wilderness cleansing process and desire to Enter His rest, in OBEDIENCE, and BY FAITH, that God can accelerate your last step at any time of His choosing. Its almost like making yourself a candidate for something that you didnt know about before, but now you are volunteering to sincerely allow God to use you in these last days to help. And you can do so, now consciously, because you understand what is required to be an applicant, which is FAITH, acknowledgement that this dead-man is in you and you have agreed with at least some of his nonsense and WANT to be cleansed of it, and that you want to Enter God's Rest, so that you can be EMPOWERED to do HIS WORKS.
FAITH!
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Now watch this next part because the work you do, do, is to allow God to cleanse you of all unrighteousness.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
See here how GOD is gonna work you over (grin) like the potter the clay, to what end? To make you like Himself; just like Jesus, so you can be empowered to do so Wonderful things, you cant even imagine!
For those who fussed at me, for not wanting to be labeled a christian, this understanding is the reason, because we have beeen lied to and short changed of our true inheritance in Christ Jesus, and we have HATED other people who truly believe in the same God we do even if they dont use Jesus' name like we do. God looks at the heart. A preacher said at the end of his sermon tonite and I wrote it down:
What you believe in your philosophy will NEVER over ride what you ACCEPT in your heart.
Think about that a few moments.
SANCTIFY YOUR TRUE SELF AND ENTER HIS REST
Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Jam 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
Did you know that Jesus comes, in US, first? He physically comes with wrath at the very end, after we have gone around helping everyone and destroying the evil works on this earth. We want to do a good job, because this is free will; it will come out the way it does, from the synthesis of what each person chooses to do. God is making this REAL.
We are not of the world, we are of God's Kingdom. If one person falls for the beast system, then the saying, the whole world followed after the beast, is still true, because that one person represents the world; we do not. Yes, it is a numbers game. How many people can we draw to the side of Love and Truth. Who are we willing to lose to the other side?
Jam 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
because that temptation is something the dead-man had you agreeing with, and now you can conquer that one too.
Jam 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
Jam 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
You can see now, how the Word comes alive.
Jam 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Ask the Holy Spirit ( God ) to assist you in your sanctification process of killing that dead-man, and cleaning up your true self, your ego which was meant to be one with God and never, ever, ever, had anything wrong with it, no sin, nothing bad, at all, ever!!!!!!!
Jam 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Jam 1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
Jam 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Do you really want this? Now you know what being saved is really all about. It is about being restored to the true you by washing off all the nonsense that you willingly joined to yourself because no one taught you about the dead-man. If you really want to be whole, then you can not be double minded; wordly and in the kingdom. Not to worry, God will teach you HIMSELF. He will take care of you PERSONALLY. He will guide your every step and make everything fall into place perfectly.
SANCTIFY YOUR TRUE SELF AND ENTER HIS REST
p.s.
let's do this thang!
p.p.s. print this out
p.p.p.s. Dont let the dead-man put RULES on you about quitting drinking, smoking eating too much, swearing, etc etc. thats another one of his tricks. God will show you; just listen to your thoughts.
2Co 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
We dont fight other people (dont blame others for your nonsense in you that makes you upset)
2Co 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;)
God teaches you how to pull down those strongholds of the dead-man OFF OF your true self. Let God do it now, do not use your own rules; God has a voice in your mind and you will hear Him better and better.
2Co 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Capture every thought; is it you, the dead-man, or God? This is the discernment of spirits.
It gets easier and easier, and you get real results in your life. You love more, forgive more, get angry less, blame others less, hate others less, etc etc for real, not according to a self-made rule (made by the dead-man who is a religious spirit in spiritual people), but the real you is more loving, forgiving, even tempered, patient, long suffering of others (cuz you realize they are going through the same thing and dont even know)... all the fruits of the spirit of God, grow in the real you.
ok this is too long, one more scripture
Col 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Col 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
See how every one's real true self was hid? God really did and does want to save every one. It is really true. When he says ye are dead, even Paul struggled with this dead-man and thought he was himself! The dead-man is the only one who is dead, NOT YOU.
Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Remember how God does the last step to kill the dead-man completely, and then all that is left over is YOU and GOD; that is how Christ appears, in you; this is how He comes and you meet Him in the air. This is the true rapture ( some of you know that song we're enraptured in the glow (glory) of love)
Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
No rules! let God cleanse these sorts of things out of you, so that you simply do not like to engage in them any more, for real. You will dislike them just like God does. God is keeping it REAL!
Col 3:6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
How are they disobedient? They listen to the dead-man instead of God, and make their true self, Anti-God, by their own free will.
Col 3:7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
We all did it.
Col 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Again, no self-made rules, it will fall off naturally as God cleanses you.
Col 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
there is that dead-man
Col 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Your true self in Christ.
Col 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
no more chosen people lies will fool you. the only jews are the ones circumcised in their heart.
Here come the fruits I wanted to mention!
Col 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Col 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Col 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Col 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
All these fruits will spring up in you naturally; this is the meaning of being changed by God when you come to Christ. It is something that GOD does, not you. Your work is to be humble and admit to the nonsense that God shows you that you took on your self from the dead man. this is the meaning of CONFESS YOUR SINS TO GOD. He is faithful to cleanse you of all unrighteousness.
hallelujah!
practice thanking God alot; He loves that.
okay thats it. You may want to print this out and reread it and share with others.
