By the Grace of God, I saw stars set as a written text.
If God does not use language on such principles like we do, then it is possible that each star has
some meaning for Him (hieroglyphics - the pictorial symbols used in the earliest known writing
systems). Perhaps each star bears someone's ID, for instance, names of Christians in the Book
of Life.
God promised - swore to Abraham, Isaac and Israel by His own self "I will make your
descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky . . . " (Exodus 32:13 and Genesis 26:4).
Thus the reward for people advanced into the new creation - a white stone with a new name
written on it - may be a new star holding his ID in heaven.
What if some name (of a fallen angel) must not shine before God? Then such a star must not
give light to the universe. They may be what we call black holes. (A black hole is a theorized
celestial body whose surface gravity is so strong that no light can escape from within it.)
Finding just, the very place for our planet, was not so easy. Hence, God created us for some purpose by placing us on the perfect fitting place for our prosperity, our usefulness in His kingdom. He has exactly one place for each person coming in the kingdom of God. It means that God in Jesus Christ knows your and my place in His world. One star is exact fitting for our earth and so one light exactly fits for me or for you.
God created one light, the star - the sun, which has to govern the day and the second light - the
moon that has to govern the night. We know that life on the earth depends on the energy from
the Sun. The moon cannot produce light. It can only reflect energy from the sun like a mirror.
Early people did not have any electricity or other sources of light for night working. Thus,
people did not work through night. Whoever did, did black deeds such as committing adultery,
stealing, etc.
Then, if someone has left deeds of light and ran out from the Lord Jesus Christ, he is in darkness.
Still, he must recognize that only one light exists. God sees his sins although were done in dark
because they are reflected in a mirror (as the moon is the mirror to sunlight). That doer cannot
hide his deeds. Once he recognizes that light of the moon is reflection of the sun, he may return
to deeds of the light. Yet, if light sees his deeds, it does any mean for him to work in dark.
If someone is looking for something in darkness, he set a light (a lamp) there to see.
If he wants to look for it on two different places, two lights (lamps), each on a different spot, are
needed and so on. Therefore, if God wants us to look for more persons darkened by sins, He
needs to provide many lamps, stars for us. He sends angels over there.
That means, when we want to be useful in the area where we live and to work in God's
government by some ministry, we need to be in contact with many members of God's Kingdom.
We need to be in contact with many lights, stars. The Bible speaks about stars in referring to
angels (Revelation 1:20).
Therefore, our progress is done practically so that God gives us a Spirit who can be always in contact with other members of the Heavenly Kingdom. If God the Holy Spirit leads angels, then we receive a part of His ability. We receive the Holy Spirit. And so, even created humans are unable to see the spiritual world (the invisible world) and to be in contact with angels, still, we may intervene there by using the Holy Spirit.
Thus, we are coming in the topic about the Holy Spirit. Some preachers say that each person coming to Jesus Christ receives the Holy Spirit. They claim: light, which they received at first, is everything that a Christian deals with on the way. Since God made the difference between the light from the first day and lights of the fourth day, they should do also. As we need just the Light on the first day of our creation (salvation) into the Heavenly Kingdom so many lights are necessary to advance. Since the dry ground has already appeared and began to produce fruit of trees (the third day), God gives many lights in order to rule new creatures then. So, the fourth step on the way starts by the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
God the Holy Spirit carries out God's government. He hears everything that is among animals, birds - fishes, people or angels. He values them and gives commands to God servants, angels. Then the Holy Spirit within us is communicating either with some member of the Heavenly Kingdom or directly with God the Holy Spirit.
The conclusion is, the Creation calls us to live in the presence of many lights on the fourth part
of the way. The Baptism by the Holy Spirit begins it.
This feast 'Pentecost' comes after the feast 'Firstfruits'. Both deal with fruit of our hands on God's ground. God did not appoint the date for the feast Firstfruits. Yet the date for celebrating the Pentecost exists. This means God will come to us and we have to await Him; we should be ready to receive God's gift. It also means that the Lord knows exactly when it will be.
The world did not see the man in the power of the Holy Spirit for fifty days. Only persons with the newborn spirit existed, they were disciples and other believers since Jesus's ministry. God realized it again, but the Holy Spirit now descended upon newborn Christians. This is God's blessing which comes as we present our grown spirit to God.
Leviticus 23:21 says that we do not have to do any work. Holy Spirit through our spirit will do it.
People had to bring BREAD BAKED WITH YEAST into the Temple as a result of their harvest. On the feast of 'Firstfruits' they brought flour mixed with oil, but without yeast. The yeast in Scriptures means mortal activities, not eternal. It means, the Holy Spirit works in the Church although there are many weak Christians, fleshly believers.
The apostle Paul speaks: "Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us". (1 Corinthians 5:7) Bread means flesh but also God's Word. Hence, we can preach eternal words although we do not have the eternal flesh. God's words going from our mouth should not be mortal because the Holy Spirit is upon them.
They did not prepare bread the same way as for the feast of 'Firstfruits'. Here is not used oil for the sacred word (bread) as it was there. The oil as the symbol of the Holy Spirit should not be use if we are going to receive the originality, the Holy Spirit.
Israel had to offer SEVEN MALE LAMBS, EACH A YEAR OLD AND WITHOUT
DEFECT by fire.
The number seven is God's number for fullness. These seven lambs could represent Lord Jesus
Christ from the Heavenly Throne. The Bible sees Him in Heaven as: "Then I saw a Lamb,
looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, . . . He had seven horns
and seven eyes . . . " (Revelation 5:6). It means, we are entering heavenly reality through the
Holy Spirit.
Lambs had to be burnt not eaten as on the Passover. It is because we already received
(consumed) a lamb in the beginning of the way. We already "burnt a lamb" on the third part of
the way as a sign that our newborn spirit is from God and belongs to Him. It was God's
"nourishment", His pleasure that God the Son is successful in humans. Now, they burn seven
lambs as a sign that we can be used even for a Heavenly job.
A YOUNG BULL in the burn offering was used for the consecration of a high priest (Exodus
29:1-34). They burnt a bull as a sin offering for the priest (Lev. 4:3-12). A priest is dealing with a
spiritual world, which is also represented by angels. Only they or, better said, their princes or
elders can enter before God's Throne in Heaven.
A high priest served for old Israel as an image of the truly High Priest - the Lord Jesus Christ.
Not being Him had to be illustrated in the offering of a bull. This bull redeemed and transformed
him so, that he could perform the high priest's office.
A bull was also offered for a sin of a whole community (Lev. 4:13-21). It happened if Satan -
"evil bull" had seduced the nation and led them in a wrong direction. The strong angel in power -
God's Son had to lead them. Such a misleading by another strong angel had to be atonement
through the life of a strong animal - the bull. So, in reality, God forgives even a sin of a church.
Two rams
If a lamb is a picture of our spiritual "childhood" then a ram represents the adulthood of our
spirit. Hence, the Holy Spirit brings divine supernatural power which shows us like strong
adults for the visible and invisible world. We are able even to cast out demons.
THE ISRAELITES ALSO HAD TO SACRIFICE ONE MALE GOAT FOR A SIN OFFERING AND TWO LAMBS, EACH A YEAR OLD, FOR A FELLOWSHIP OFFERING ON PENTECOST.
The Old Testament appoints a MALE GOAT as atonement for a leader's sin (Leviticus 4:22-26 and Numbers 7:10- 82). Hence, if sin's offering for the leader redeems us, then we have to be leaders in the Church from now.
They offered TWO LAMBS EACH ONE YEAR OLD as an aroma pleasing to the Lord each day
(Numbers 28:3-4): " This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD;
two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering. The one
lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even."
The lamb is the image of Passover. People are redeemed to become children without defects in
God's kingdom. This may show our assignment. Our duty is to work for God's children, to
become their leader, or to bring new people to God that they may have a share in "Passover".
The conclusion is: we are anointed by the Holy Spirit for becoming servants of God.
Is it possible to save a whole nation by a man? Nations are fighting against nations, or one man against another one. However, God performed acts of mystery in the material world during this part. A man with supernatural power saved a whole nation. Such a way, the surrounding nations acknowledge the Spirit of God in Israel.
God divinely inspired Judges by the "Spirit of the Lord". For instance, Gideon with three hundred people defeated 120 thousand Midians (Judges 7,8). Samson using the jawbone of a donkey struck down a thousand strong men of Philistines in one battle (Judges 15:16). He pushed on the central pillars of the house and it came down killing three thousand men and women (Judges 16:27-30).
Hence, God gives us charismatic abilities on the fourth part of the way. The supernatural power delivers us from the hands of our oppressors. Our oppressors could be strong and even from another world. Namely, if we rebel against God, we become open to another spiritual power, other gods. People cannot fight with gods. We need to get spiritual power for it. Therefore, the Holy Spirit has come to supply our needs even in this field.
The Holy Spirit did also a governmental task through the bodies of Judges (Judges 3:10): " And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him (Othniel), and he judged Israel." They led the people of Israel during their life. Judging them had a preventive purpose not to fall in enemies' hands again. Therefore, someone from Christians is a pastor and leads "sheep" so that "wolves" could not hurt them.
It was worse if a judge fell. Then both he and the nation were hurt. For instance, Gideon requested from people golden earrings and made an ephod, which he placed in his city. All Israel went there and this became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house (Judges 8). They killed seventy of his sons after he died. Then the Israelites fought among themselves. Similarly Jephthah the Gileadite offered own daughter as a sacrifice and immediately a civil war arose. (Judges 11,12). So, if a person empowered by the Holy Spirit fell, he hurt himself and those whom he served.
Nobodies from the people choose the person to rule. God alone appointed someone in time and covered his body by the Spirit of God. So, the baptism by Holy Spirit is not by man's will, but it is God's gift. Never people can give the Holy Spirit to someone, only God can do that.
The Spirit of God took care of the necessary deeds in the material world. He killed Jacob's enemies and delivered the Israelites from their oppressors. The chosen people were His tools. So the Holy Spirit in the new Israel is delivering us from our oppressors and making our territory free from enemies. The chosen men are God's vessels.
Israel had twelve Judges. The numbers correspond to the twelve tribes of Israel. It is the number of fullness for God's population from the earth. God's people will have twelve princes, elders. Thus, Gods power is for every nation, tribe, people and language. The baptism by Holy Spirit has the firm place in the Church on our way to fullness.
We can see that God has appointed the Holy Spirit for God's people to help them. He sent Him to
deliver His children from the hands of their spiritual enemies and to rule them, to lead them as
their shepherd. So, like Jesus Christ was to twelve disciples.
I believe that the disciples, after this, looked at Heaven often because their Light (their Teacher) went there (Acts 1:9-10): "After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going", God the Son has become the first human like fully eternal being. He does not have just eternal spirit, but also flesh. Any human with eternal flesh cannot exist on the earth because such a being was not created. (If consider angels having eternal flesh and still being on the Earth, they are invisible for created beings.) Therefore, He went to the Heaven. He shines for us as the first human with eternal flesh in the Heaven. As he caused spreading humans with eternal spirit on the earth, so He should cause spreading full eternal humans (eternal spirit and eternal flesh) in the Heaven. Therefore theologists teach, He went to Heaven to prepare places for believers.
(John 14:2-3): "In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going" (John 14:3-4).
Thus, the fourth task of God the Son in Heaven is to put more light places, which are new dwelling places (houses) there (the New Jerusalem)
If we have new houses in Heaven and they are from gold, then we lift our eyes up to our shining
homes.
Moses built the Tabernacle, the tent of Meeting on the desert. Not so sacred people, like
Heavenly beings are, built it. Still, when he had presented it before the Lord, God alone entered
it. The Glory of the Lord filled the Tent of Meeting, and so, Moses could not enter (Exodus
40:34-38).
Solomon presented the Temple in Jerusalem. Those who built it were only Adam's children, not
those of the second Adam - of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was still acceptable to God. Even the
priests could not perform their service in the Temple because of the cloud. The Glory of the Lord
filled the Temple (Kings 8:10-11).
Evenly, as a Christian is rebuilt in spirit and presented before God, God should fill him by His
Glory. God's Glory is the blessing of the second being from the Trinity. Thus, we accept the Holy
Spirit. He has to fill us because we are earthly like the Tabernacle and the Temple were.
As Jesus Christ became adult not just in flesh but also in spirit, John the Baptist presented Him before God the Father. God the Father finally saw the human being living by the spirit and filled him with the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:13-17): "Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented. As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."
God the Son presents us (not John the Baptist) to God the Father. Maybe we can say that we do
not need the special covering of the Lord Jesus Christ then, He is inside our bodies. His root of
life is in us. The white stone (the decree of our cleanliness) with the new name on it is ours. The
process of building the temple in our body is finished. Therefore, He may finally present us to
His Father. God the Father rewards us by introducing - shifting to God the Holy Spirit.
As we got the seed of God the Son in our flesh so God the Holy Spirit puts a part of Him within
us. (John 14:17): "the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him
not, neither knows him: but ye know him; for HE DWELLS WITH YOU, AND SHALL BE
IN". Our bodies are now living temples of God. (1 Corinthians 6:19): "Do you not know that
your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?
You are not your own."
The home of the Holy Spirit is Heaven. He rules from there. Then, if Holy Spirit is in us, we are
a part of the heavenly strategy. The Holy Spirit abides us with the Heaven.
Filled by God's Glory, man's flesh confirms that he will go to the Heaven and live there in God's
Glory. This is as God would give a decree for us that He will resurrect us into heavenly beings.
The Church existed free in America where soon United States were constituted. God's presence there helped them to become the powerful country. American Christians could afford to support Christian activities and the Gospel could start the victorious crusade. Thus the second dwelling of the "Woman" in the wilderness (America) caused that the powerful horse for God's sake arouses there. Now the "Woman" could return in Europe. That is why the period of the restoration of the (Early) Church in that wilderness ends by words: "I stood upon the sand of the sea"..
Certainly, if the restoration of the Church would not be in the Bible then the Bible is not a perfect book. Whether is it possible to have the history of the God's people according to flesh in the Bible and yet not to mention any move of the God's people according to the Spirit at the last times?
Since the restoration of the Church in the world has run for many decades, the Lord Jesus Christ must be on the Throne in the Heaven. (Christ Jesus ended preparing places there and now He is in business for the earth.) Namely, all big movements on the earth came because something happened/changed in the Heaven.
Christ Jesus is not just the Head of the Church but He is also the Creator. Then, the Lord's
stepping for creation (Christ Jesus's stepping on the Throne) brings light for creation. Therefore
"every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are
in the sea, and all that is in them, heard I singing: "To him who sits on the throne and to the
Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!"" (Revelation: 5:13) If
creation rejoices, then created humans are blessed or full developed (light). Blessing should
come from sky (broadcasting, airplanes etc.), from under seas (oil, gas . . . ), from under the
earth (mines for coal and ore . . . ), from seas (ships) from the earth (cars, computers . . . ).
Finally, the modern age runs from the nineteenth century.
However, deceivers and Satan's tools teach that Lord's stepping for creation brings darkness and
tribulation for creation. They go so far that change the Gospel and preach a perverse god, a new
god which Bible does not know. If this God is also the eternal man then Christ Jesus, according
to them. is the biggest terrorist of our world because manages killing people. They even
counterfeit the God's Word about white horse, where the Bible clearly says, the white power is
God's power sent first for the Gospel. Like the Apostle John declares it in his first chapter (John
1) and in the Revelation 19:13 that two riders must be, the first is the Word - the Gospel, and
only afterward He.
As Jacob said: "The rod of authority will not be taken from Judah, and he will not be
without a Law-giver, till he comes who has the right to it, and the peoples will put
themselves under his rule." (Genesis 49:10), so the Christians from America went under Christ
Jesus's crown (He is on the Throne and hold events in his hand, holds the Heavenly Book).
Namely, the scepter, the rod of authority, means the same as a crown. "But of the Son he says,
Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; and the rod of your kingdom is a rod of
righteousness." (Hebrews 1:8)
If they gave the rulers' staff to whom it belongs, then who ride - crusade under that crown now,
to him was just given, lent. And finally, the ruling rod/crown will return to the Lord to catch up
Christians. If Christians would not get this crown/rod now, they would be persecuted. Because
the world does not persecute Christianity, then the crown was given to them.
The Apostle John shows this power to be victorious thanks to a bow. This show today victorious battles of USA by bows. Namely, the bow could not be a weapon for our age. You must look for something else, what looks like bows or arrows. Today even a small child knows that modern bombers look like bows or arrows. And USA has become the superpower mostly by airplanes shaped like bows and arrows.
Suppose, you use a horse to picture an army then a victorious army which is on God's side must
be a white horse. If their weapons are airplanes looked like arrows or bows then you come to the
picture: "and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given
unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."
The Gospel uses this horse's power as it would be its rider. Or, the Lord uses this horse's power
to enforce democracy, so the freedom for Christians.
Still, we need to see more angels sent to support the Gospel. Today Church is in this stage. The
Lord Jesus Christ is on the Throne in Heaven and therefore sends more angels (stars) to support
the Church.
John shows this clearly in Revelation 1. He sees Jesus Christ standing among candles in his
Heavenly body: And "In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp
double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance." Logically, the Lord
Jesus Christ should address his first words to the Church in the times of the Menorah, it means
in the times actualized by the Seven Sealed Scrolls.
I have derived that the first letter is about the Church in the time of the first Lamp. (In heaven,
there does not exist any lamp and what shine there, it must be only something having God's
authority, and so God's Seal). John continues: "The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in
my right hand and of the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of
the seven churches, and the seven lamp stands are the seven churches." Here is clear
testimony that letters to seven churches (Revelation 2-3) are actualizing God's lamp (Seals) for
the Church when got the heavenly support, angels. Letters describe the Church advance in our
age. All revives are predicted (they must be otherwise all revives were not from God) There, the
Lord forewarn Christians by specifications Satan's traps for each period. Read more in the book
The Chronology of Revelation written by Miroslav Halza.
Indeed such a reward will be real in the Millennium for these, who have come on the fourth part
of the way and overcome.
This reward is derived from the Lord's task (Psalms 2:6-9): "I have installed my King on Zion,
my holy hill." I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He said to me, "You are my Son;
today I have become your Father. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession. You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will
dash them to pieces like pottery."
God created the man (Adam) to be a ruler of the earth but he has chosen to follow Satan's
inspirations. Therefore Satan is the ruler in a spiritual world of Adam's descendants (Ephesians
6:12). Obedience to his advice produces sin.
Whoever sins in some part of his soul, this part should be dead according to God's Law (Romans
6:23). Decay comes after death. Whoever sins, his life declines.
What is good, it has to live; but what si wrong, it should disappear. Just like among the animals,
Beasts of prey liquidate crippled and ill animals to protect healthy ones from infection. So,
disease is punishment for wrongdoing. In principle. Any "worm" of a spiritual world is coming
to nourish itself on the flesh that is spiritually dead. In such a way, we are wearing a stranger
spirit or, part of a stranger spirit.
The first punishment came after the Eden. God cursed sin and death, and pain and disease have
come.
They are tools to protec His work, for saving the sense of the Creation. As each kingdom must
have weapons for protecting people living in it and jails for capturing those who rebel against a
king and the kingdom, so God also should have such tools for protecting His people. God
established the jail - the hell for evildoers.
These, who respected rebuking by God's tool, have turned to God (turned out from Satan). They
have turned from a way leading to hell and are on the way to live eternal life in God's presence.
As a plant cannot grow where is not any ground, so deceases will not be there where does not
exist any sin. Illness, death and crying will be defeated or disappear there, because there is not
any ground for them. No one needs these tools in God's Kingdom on the new earth and in the
new Jerusalem.
If "worms" and death are results of God's "iron scepter" on evildoers, then they are on the earth
to lead people to repentance, to be better. Who regrets his evil deed, he should be healed. And
therefore, this tool means also to be able to heal.
Hence, who overcome on the fourth part of the way, he will use these tools during the
Millennium. The Millennium means also the order on the earth as it was proposed in the
Creation that human beings will rule the Earth. It means not Satan and his followers and even
not other angels. Human beings will rule in the invisible world and in the visible world of the
Earth.
Resurrected humans will be as angels. They will come from the Heaven (from the wedding of
the Lamb) to rule the Earth. (Revelation 19:14) They will lord the earth from the invisible world.
Namely, if God's angels will remove Satan from the invisible world of the earth then these
pushers (God's angels) must move also in direction of Satan's destination. Hence, God's angels
shall guard Satan and his followers in the jail in order not to return to the Earth during the
Millennium.
Although Satan will not be present, people in the material world will continue in life by their inherited soul. Therefore, they need to be lead in order not to do wrong. Rewarded Christians will be their lords in order that they will lead the life in accordance with the Law of God.
The resurrected people will come on the earth with Christ Jesus to save Israel. Who has won a war, possesses the territory of the expelled. He is the occupant of it. Thus, the resurrected Christians shall occupy places which Satan used. Then, because the resurrected are eternal beings, mortal men shall not see them as we do not see (fallen) angels.
The resurrected people will have different tasks in God's kingdom on the Earth. It depends how
far they are on the Biblical Way. People who overcome this part of the way, will have authority
over the nations. They should rule them with an iron scepter. They will inflict illness, etc. on
evildoers, but who would repent, he is healed. Hence, these who are ably to deal with illness,
they healed already someone and so on, they should use this ability also during the Millennium.
Therefore, to be rewarded by iron scepter you need to believe in healing.
The baptized by the Holy Spirit should accomplish some work. We see the result of this work on the earth because the baptized lives on the earth. However, we should see some result also in the Heaven because the Holy Spirit is from there. At least, his deeds should be written in the Heavenly book. As I early said that God uses stars for recording, then who uses the Holy Spirit, his deeds are recorded in the Heaven. That is why the reward for this part of the way is the morning star.
The apostle Peter speaks: "And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts." (2 Peter 1:19) The Holy Spirit also speaks prophetic words for Christians. They shine like light for our toil in the darkened world. Still, the result of it will be the morning star when the dark disappears, when we past away from this mortal world and see the Heavenly realm.
Thus, whoever is baptized by the Holy Spirit, he learnt to conquer enemies from the spiritual
worlds, he will be rewarded by a ruling position in the spiritual world during the Millennium.
His deeds are recorded in Heaven as he would have the own drawer whether personal box (the
morning star) there.
Satan leads people to something that appears similar to what God gives. God has given
supernatural deeds among people. If Satan wants to keep up with God, he must also do
something supernatural. He cannot use Heavenly power because he is not in Heaven. He uses
spiritual powers of creation involving animals' spirit and spirits of dead people.
Satan uses humans' desires. If he sees some people looking for the baptism by the Holy Spirit, he tries to mislead them. A New Testament's man named Simon had practiced sorcery and then he was converted to the Lord Jesus Christ. He left all practices of sorcery. However, when he saw how Peter was laying his hands on believers and they were receiving Holy Spirit, he also wanted to have the same power as it would be apparently for the sake of the Church or the Lord. He came to Peter and said: "Give me also this ability, so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive Holy Spirit". Yet Peter answered: "May your money perish with you . . . your heart is not right before God" (Act 8:20-22). So, his spirit still did not fully occupy his heart.
People looking for something are eager for answers how to get it. They may get the right
answers from God through prophets. A prophet was a man, to whom the Spirit of God spoke in
the Old Testament. Therefore, people are looking for some prophets especially the greatest ones.
The false prophetess Jezebel is for the fourth part of the Lord's Church. God said by Ezekiel:
"Woe to the women who sew magic charms on all their wrist and make veils of various
lengths for their heads in order to ensnare people." (Ezekiel 13:18). This kind fellowship of
women, who claim that they are prophets is based on their natural ability to approach men.
God created women for men to help them. A wife, who sewed clothes for protecting her
husband's hands from hurting in his hard work and kerchiefs for protecting his head from the
heat of the sun, was a good woman (from God). Their husbands loved them for such a job.
Prophetesses go further and they have switched this kind of influence to the spiritual field.
Hence, a false prophet (she) wants men to be on their knees. If people pray, they get on their
knees. So, praying helps them to get them on knees. At praying, she appeals spiritually to their
soul because she starts to prophesy. Her victim starts to think that god is present. (1 Corinthians
14:24-25): "But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while
everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged
by all, and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God,
exclaiming, "God is really among you!" Because we were born as sinners, our conscience
admits sins easily. The caught victim is on his knees and he confesses his sins. She is his lord
because even knows his secrets. In this point, she covers his head by declaring his birth in the
god's kingdom (1.Cor. 11:3-10).
A prophetess caresses a man whom she has broken (Ezekiel 13:18). She has gone even into the innermost being of his body because his heart is open. If a man decrees his love to a young woman, he is also bounded to her by his soul. We used to say: 'He has opened his heart to her'. We know that a deep love leads to "one body" (Genesis 2:24). Then spiritually, we can say that she has misled someone in sexual immorality, because they have become spiritually one body. In a short time, she will make such a body with another man.
We cannot usually find spiritually strong men in communities where a woman has first place.
A woman is ruling because she is spiritually great, she is a prophet. A man must obey her
although God created man to rule. I could observe that marriages are usually unnatural in those
sects. A wife is usually a few years older than her husband, or a wife is sane but a husband is
insane. It may be God's testimony that a wife is insane in spirit and the husband in flesh. ("I will
cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer
intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead".)
If she calls herself a prophetess, then we have some new teaching beside the Gospel. I derive from punishment by death and putting illness on her (put on the bed) that she has some link to spiritual healing.
Jezebel was leading the Israeli king, Achaz, to evil deeds and drawing him away from God. Her daughter also became the first and the last woman on the Davidic throne. God's way was to place men there and not women. Athaliah used earthly ways to ascend to the throne (2. Kings 11). So, we may see Jezebel as the founder of "the Mother Church" (our mother is earth) in Israel, determined to exist among God's people and on the king's throne (Athaliah).
Mrs. Eddy founded the Mother Church for teaching about science healing. She teaches that our mortal mind convinces us that we are sick, weak and so on. However, the mortal mind will be punished (changed), but spiritual understanding is changeless. I have just arrived at positive thinking and to have faith in our own strength. After She died, several independent groups appeared. Annie C. Bill was the authority. She placed this teaching on a world throne. Namely, various independent Christian Scientist groups formed the International Metaphysical Association in order to make teaching of the Mrs. Eddy popular through TV, radio, lectures and special schools, printing books and pamphlets. The world's teaching about the power of the human innermost being also hit Christianity. You are sick because you think that you are, you are poor because you think so; believing in your own strength . . . , is heard anywhere.
Something similar was in the Eden, when Satan misled the man through the woman. The animals' influence was there. Some people still use the term "animal magnetism". "Healer" uses magnetism as a pushing power as we find in hypnotism. The stronger pushes weaker energy (illness). Stronger magnetism (energy) substitutes weaker magnetism (energy). That animal (serpent) influence caused animals' thoughts in the human beings. (Human beings are like gods to animals.) A result had to be that we will become gods (Genesis 3:4-5): "the serpent said . . . you will be like God". Mrs., Eddy taught in the principle by the same way. Even she was first involved with animal magnetism. Later she developed her own form of mental healing. Her treatment is releasing the error of the mortal mind by directing the self (Ego) toward truth, love and life, toward positive thinking. That is why the Lord appeals to: "to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets". (Revelation 2:24)
Satan tempts people who have been already baptized by Holy Spirit by attacking their faith by
saying as: 'Are you sure that you have received the Holy Spirit?' If you have received Him, you
should go in hospitals or to other sick people and make them well. Make yourself known in your
church, perform God's miracles there! Go among your people, where you live and make some
great things happen like the Old Testament's judges did!' Namely the Spirit of God was on the
judges although they were not the new creation. So, he tries to turn them from the New
Testament to the Old Testament.
Judges used spiritual power for material purposes during their office in Israel. People from
Adam till now always want to have such supernatural power to be someone and to proffer from
it. If they cannot be such people, they at least want to look at others having supernatural power
or signs. How do many communities split because the tempers won? (Luke 4).
But you have to live on every word that comes from the mouth of God
Do not manage the Holy Spirit by thoughts of people.
Do not solve your problems of the faith by confrontation with God's gift.
Do not put the Holy Spirit into the test.
Do not solve your problem of self-determination by putting a yoke on other followers.
Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only!
Since the Lord Jesus Christ has blessed His servants by the baptism in the Holy Spirit, a new
question raised, how to deal with it?
Some disagreed and declared that they had already received the Holy Spirit at the time when
come to Jesus Christ. They ignored the supernatural signs of the baptism by the Holy Spirit.
They taught that the baptism by the Holy Spirit may not be with the 'other tongues'. Practically,
they excused themselves, in the eyes of the community, because of not having them. They did
not want to lose their position. In contrary, their rivals proclaimed the baptism by the Holy Spirit
as a necessary condition for our salvation.
These problems were because lack of teaching about the Biblical Way. They mixed the first with
the fourth and the fourth with the first. The baptism by Holy Spirit is for our advantage on the
way. It is not suitable for the "stomach" of those who are first part of the Way. Who just started
to accept milk or is still accustomed for it, he may vomit meat. (1. Corinthians 3:1-2; Hebrews
5:13-14). So, they simply vomited the coming power of the Holy Spirit.
I had many experiences with my God in this period. Therefore, it seemed to me not necessary to have 'other tongues' like the next great sign of God's blessing. First I thought to have the baptism by the Holy Spirit without the 'other tongues' to eliminate above-mentioned tension, to reconcile brothers. As I received the supernatural gift from God, I was sure that it is the baptism by the Holy Spirit.
If we look at Him who introduced Himself as I AM WHO I AM (Exodus 3:14), He first gave His
words written (Moses Law) then come God's words spoken (Prophets). So, I was on the second
part of the way when I received this second part of God's leading in my life. I thought that it was
the baptism by the Holy Spirit.
As I continued in forming the new creation in the Lord Jesus Christ, I thought that I had many of
God's blessings. However, the Holy Spirit comes after Jesus Christ (John 16:7). That is why, we
need to look for the baptism by the Holy Spirit in order to advance.
The time came. It happened to me when I was on the visit in God's family. Some friends also
visited them almost before my leaving. We went to pray for God's blessing for my departure. A
brother, whom I did not know, began to have God's leading. The Lord showed him that among us
is someone who is ready to receive the Holy Spirit. God showed him few things about his
progress on the Way. I felt God's presence. I praised loudly my God as the Lord was coming
close to me through the brother. My resurrected spirit had such great joy in His presence.
The apostle John writes something similar in the Revelation 7:9-10: "After this I looked and
there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe,
people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were
wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in
a loud voice . . . ".These branches are newborn spirits, therefore as they will praise our Lord
(verse 10) so my newborn spirit did so now, as he would be before the Heavenly Throne.
After I had calmed down, the Holy Spirit entered my innermost being and used my mouth for
calm words in another language.
The first, what I observed after couples hours was, that the surrounded spiritual world had acknowledged this change. My friend, with whom I had worked in a company, threw an iron thing toward me, but he did not hit me. He was very sorry and excused himself: "that he did not know how he could do such a thing". Nevertheless, I noticed that the spiritual world of Satan recognized this change. This also served me as a parable that the baptism by Holy Spirit is for fight, for spiritual work.
I needed this special covering for the job that I began to do. Sure, it was a hard job. I experienced as to be wrestling with beasts, but they could only roar and then go into their den. Maybe, if I would not have decided for this job, I ought not to receive the Holy Spirit. Nevertheless, the Lord knew what awaited me there and so, He has given me this special power in order not to be defeated.
I would remark that although I first intended to be baptized by the Holy Spirit without "tongues", it does not work such a way. God sent the Holy Spirit for doing supernatural deeds and, therefore His receiving shall be supernaturalist, shall be with signs.
Those, who do not believe in the additional step on their following Jesus Christ, have stopped producing new lives in their community or surroundings. They only care for themselves to be delightful in the eyes of old brothers and sisters. However, these who believe in the baptism by the Holy Spirit, their community accepts newcomers.
Satan advises us to do "supernatural" deeds in the material world just like the judges in the Old Testament. Whoever did not still receive the Holy Spirit and wants it, some false prophet or prophetess may mislead him. Then he can receive just "animal's" spirit and instead language, just the unchangeable sounds. Some false teachers speak that god is in us and so we have to believe in this power, in own Ego.
Be strong in faith and be in God's Sabbath now more than you were earlier.
Give a room to Him who works instead you, and see miracles on your steps.
Hallelujah! God is close to you!
