Comparing Gen. 2:7 with Jn. 9:6

first we have the verses which show Jesus as creator.
Eph.3:9, Col.1:16, Rev.10:6 just a few here. We see both showing us the taking up of the dust of the ground. This was for a creating process. The spittle is something that comes out of the mouth. the very breath and spittle out of his wonderful mouth used as a creator.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. It is also a tool to create life in others. Most important is the fact of the Holy Spirit operation through the mouth to give good words in season, even to the weary.

Amazing the dust which comprised my father and mother, was then bringing forth the dust a son. May all of this post cause a blessing as you meditate on Jn.9:6 to see how God is walking around in the earth in a human body. Yet he is the creator of all things. It was exciting today as he answered prayer for some wisdom, it came in a very powerful way.

A Spirit filled life will follow a predestinated course.

grace keeps on course when sometimes we make wrong decisions.

These 2 puzzle pieces came in 2 study sittings. The first came while in book of Amos read these passages to see a pattern.
ch.2:11 he raises up prophets and Nazerites.
ch.3:7 he reveals secrets
ch. 4:13 he tells his thought
ch. 9:14-15 he will cause to restore and bring his people back to their own land.

In the Amos study it is showing that God will do this. Then finally what he will do. A lot of it is mixed in with judgement for Israel's unfaithfulness. So we see that the revelatory part is sort of hidden in there.

The other study is in Genesis. This revolves around Abraham
7 things to notice
1. Abraham goes down into Egypt
2. a famine in the land
3. plagues that cause Pharaoh to let them go.
4. a Exodus with all they had
5. given much spoil from Egypt
6. heading for the land of promise
7. Abraham the prophet with great seed.

so far we see a predestined acting out of the coming revelation. This is simular to what happens to the body of believers in preparing them before they come to hear the word. They have things happen in their lives so the word is confirmed. Also they are put together through experiences so as to be in one accord with what God wants to say to the body when they come together.

It takes a varied amount of discernment spiritually to find how each member fits in that unique process.

A untrained 5-fold is ussually expecting people to just bring forth a utterance so some word may confirm their message. That can be a open door for wrong utterances to come forth.

In Gen. 15:13 God then reveals the future to Abraham. in v.18 he is shown the land will be given to his seed.
it is evident he is not given it all at once because in ch. 17:20 now he is shown that 12 princes shall come out of the people . They are the heads of the 12 tribes of Israel.

We know that Amos came a long time after Abraham, and God was revealing secrets already. Lets see the point in all this.
We are receiving a secret now. I am the one who is telling it.
1. The denominational system is not doing this, though this is God's perfect plan for the Assembling of his people.
2. without a spiritual life the flesh cannot bring this forth.
3. the secret-- God will do this work of preparation in the overcomers even if for a time they are seperated from a true assembly of believers.
4. For those who continue despite the opposition, God will continue to show awesomew wonderful things. Our personal communion with God is based on the fact that in Heb. 4 we can continually come to the throne of grace to a living God. This relationship of love must grow more and more, as we are being proven to be given over to true commitment and faithfulness in any circumstantial realm of trial and tribulation.

Those tests are for our faith and benefit. We don't serve God for what we can get from him but for who he is. The bottom line is we will be fellow shipping with him for eternity, and praising him. we are just starting now. all we do on earth now is a very small scale to what we will do later.

Amos and Abraham are a real picture of how God has expired his word and given us inspiration. The word has truly come from God's mouth and the experiences of men are proofs of that.

In Isa. 42:3 it tells of the bruised reed and smoking flax.

After looking up this passage, the commentater says a tremendous thing. He tells us when a flax smokes it is a terrible thing to breathe. You can hardly see. The idea there is that when brought to a flame it doesn't smoke and becomes pleasant.

The bruised reed is not a singer (praiser). After investigating this idea, when going to you tube, going there allows for visualisation of things that you may need to see. For example the puffer fish is seen there.

The video shows the sounds of reeds. That would be the title to write--- Hear the sound of reeds. The sounds are equal to singing. When many sing, they are in one mind and one accord. Yes it is convincing that they sing.

result-- If we are in the position of a bruised reed, we can ask for grace. The difference for us is we can be bruised and still sing God's praises. Then he will restore us and we will sing more and more beautifully. The Lord is the healer of the child of God who is hurting. He is a restorer of those who get lost from the way. We have the priviledge to worship in Spirit and in truth. May his grace be on all his people abundantly.

My prayer is that he will preserve his people from being made busy from being involved in kingdom activities. In Jesus name.


faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.

Feeding our inner man and miracles.

For us who have sat under a end-time word, we can look back at how we were taught some wonderful things which were exciting to our inner man.

As we got the messages we wanted to apply them so we would grow in that area. For example when we heard the message of positive confession, we started watching our speech. In 2Cor. 5:17 we see the desire of the Lord that we become a new creature old things are passede away and behold all things become new.

There is good news for you. You may find it difficult to keep active some things taught you because they are quickened to you by the Holy Spirit when you first heard them. Remember the Lord will always cause the things of the Spirit to be fresh in you as you enter your interest in them.

If for example you have been healthy or prosperous for awhile and then by trials you seem to be spiritually dry, then you are able to rekindle these things. The Holy Spirit will manifest himself through the depths of a wisdom that will look like a miracle to you. By faith the word which seems lifeless at times can come alive to you.

The scriptures about healing for example seem lifeless. You may say- Isa. 53 is healing in the atonement. Your mind says I know that passage so well. But in all honesty it just doesn't click. We all go through some of these things being we are so familiar with them. What you didn't know is what you are going through is the testy of obedience. We just don't do things unless we like to. We must like to do them even though they may not excite us.

Here is help for you. God is always in the new creature issue. More interested in what we are than what we do. It is of the most important neccessity to keep the light aflame. We cannot help ourselves and the Holy Spirit can only give life.

First we must pray for the excitement of old teachings. Then get in the word---old statement there--get in the word. But in a different way this time. To bring that teaching to life we can seek for a fresh view of the same truth. Isa. 53 for example is a good healing passage. There are many more passages for healing. Through study there are many things seen that others know nothing about.

Those fresh views of old things rekindle a desire for more to feed that inner man. You also may want to read some old books stored away, then get in there and (disect) them look up some things as they move you God brings this to life in a fresh way.

check this out.

Positive confession checklist-- don't say I can't because I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil. 4:13
If you then go to Isa. 40:31 They that wait-- wait is with expectation of hope--Heb. 11:1 faith is the substance of thing hoped for. Ps. 42:5 hope thou in God. back to Isa. 40:31 shall renew their strength. You see it? Your locking into the word strength.

Now you can choose to do a word study on strength, looking up passages and reading commentaries on that word. Meanwhile you want the Lord to manifest that strength in you. Last night even before knowing that this was the post to make, I was becoming tired at work. (my miracle) a anointing came on that caused me to feel like it was just starting time at work. You would have thought you were taking a sleep nap.

As we seek God knows before hand that we are going in a direction. He predestinates circumstances to go along with what we are reading in the word. either before or after we read it. That is also a way that we can hear his voice--- because we must be filled with light to receive light.

Get your mind filled with the word like a car does gas and God will take you places. Also remember that positive words without activity of the Holy Spirit are just words. That can open doors to deception.

we should not confess lack---fear-- doubt--weakness--devil's power--defeat--lack of wisdom--sickness--worries--condemnation. The promises of God have delivered from all of these--don't look at circumstances but quote the promise. to be continued.


faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.

two important points to clarify our blessing of the word of God.

1. basically a covenant is based upon a agreement. In this case God and man. The word testament is the same word as covenant. That helps us to see that covenant (testament is the word).

When Jesus offered the sacrifice of his blood, he was offering his life. Therefore the covenant was made on his merits and not ours. That offering was sufficient to show us that we were obligated to do anything required to receive the benefits of that covenant.

*** That covenant was based on agreement***
Do you see that--- we agree with that covenant--- which is the word of God. That is why when we speak that word--confess it-- we are agreeing with it. If we don't agree with it we certainly won't speak it.

Remember when Abraham offered Isaac on the alter it was said of him , he obeyed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. That was his faith.

In Jer. 31:31-33 Jer. speaks of a new covenant to come. It is described as I will put my laws in their hearts.

Here is a good description from the encyclopedia that is good.
When the Spirit possesses the heart, the law (law of the Spirit) becomes a dominating principle and so true obedience is secured. These laws are not given in a form of external rules but principles from the heart. my these principles of obedience which are given to benefit us with the life of faith.

Rom. 8:2 the law of the Spirit of life. life benefits us. The laws of the Spirit are given us through the word. Our faith in that word will be expressed by agreement. Our hearts----will agree. The Holy Spirit will help us to come in agreement to those words.
When we therefore speak those words we are reminding God of his covenant to us which he has purchased with his life's blood.

Heb. 13:20-21 read this about the covenant.

next time (part 2) The Lord has given a revelation concerning all of this. For now remember that when you confess the word of God with your mouth you are saying *****Father God in Jesus name these are the words of your covenant and I agree with them by faith.

Gen. 49:23-24 This is a spiritual statement that is directed to Joseph. The archers in his life were the ones who put him through the trials. Very important to notice that his bow and strength are of a spiritual nature.

When you tie this in with Eph. 6:11-18 put on the armor of God, you see how it is the Lord's word that gives us victory over our enemies. Every word of God is filled with life. Our shield of faith is hope in the Lord to deliver us.

Perhaps you are encompassed about with many who hate or dislike you. In this holiday season above all else. While your waiting for God to manifest your answers to prayer, your enemies seem to be hounding you with all their goods. Seems like something is telling you--you see if you'll bow down to Baal you can have this to.

Remember Ps. 84:11 Our father God will with hold no good thing from us as we walk upright--faithfully. If we wait his blessing is on it. Deut. 8:18 says in my words-- stay in covenant with God and he will give you the power to receive anything that you need. Even right now if you mix faith with what you are reading the anointing is there for you to receive in Jesus name. Hold fast.

Joseph's story is so encouraging because in seeing the spiritual application, his bumpy ride ended in a victory that saved a nation- in the future 3 and a 1/2 million souls left Egypt. Notice their needs got met. When they left Egypt they took great spoil with them.

The issue is how big is God?? He told Abraham in the covenant that there would be a seed more than the stars can be counted.
We know today that there are over trillions of stars.

There was a revelation that the first row in heaven by the father's throne was 144,000 rooms in the mansion. Then below the first row was a 144,000 rows. This is interesting and isn't my vision. It is interesting though.

It is the armor of God that gives us strength, it is not possible to put in words what was revealed to me, but it is all God's protective care. We are just yeilded. All things are working together for good to those---who love God. The fire arrows are quenched by our faith-- faith doesn't see though God is in action.


faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.

Very Happy We would have to laugh if we heard that God sleeps. Sometimes he seems to be.

In Job 8:5-6 my comments--- through a upright heart we can pray, then it will be like God waking up to answer. That would bring prosperity.

Ps, 35:23 This Psalm has it also-- stir up thyself and awake to my judgement.
Ps. 7:6 also.

Isa. 51:9 Here he is calling for the Lord to manifest his strength like he has done in the past. God to awaken and slay the dragon. love that song in verse v.11

The disciples were in the boat Mk. 4:38 ??? doesn't God care? If he didn't we perrish. The Lord did arise and said peace be still to the storm. Even now we can say peace be still.

1Cor. 15:34 as in Job 8:5-6 in v.6 we see there as in 1Cor. that if we are pure and righteous, and upright, God will awake for us. We are really the ones who must awaken 1Cor. 15:34

now look at the plan of God Job 8:7 that is what happened in Job 42:10 note that there is prayer and the double portion given at his latter end.

On God's side he doesn't want his people to be discouraged. The blood of Jesus has put us in the position to be in right standing with God. So all we have to do is walk upright.This is a tremendous priviledge. God is awake and he hears our praise. Certainly he hears our prayers to. amen.

Woke up at 2:30 AM this morning. I saw God.

Where that was is in Deut.33: When reading that in the bible as well as reference materials what a beautiful hidden picture of God.

God is a whole lot bigger than we ever could know but the Jews of the O.T. could picture him in words. What is significant is that Deut. is the book that Moses wrote. He was the one who said Lord show me thy glory. Here in ch. 33: we have a great description of God from man's view.

Deut. 33:3 we see him as holding the saints in his hand. Also sitting at his feet to receive his word.

33:12 Here it is said one was by his side. Also the shoulders were where fathers carried their sons it was really the back including the shoulders.

33:27 he also carries one in his arms. the word everlasting here gives evidence for it being a spiritual statement. In him we have everlasting life.

v.29 He is a sword and shield. This points us to the fact that he is a God of great power. (omnipotent)

As we have seen this tremendous outer picture, we have something extra special in the N.T.

The first evidence of this is in Rom. 8:1 there is now therefore no condemnation to those who are---( in Christ)
I used to view this that somehow I was literally inside of him. It is good to know that we are in him concerning his life. Jn. 15:1-7 shows us that (we are not really branches on a vine) but to understand the parable ) we bear fruit in his life. That is because we abide in his life. It appears that the fruit must be of him. Matt. 7:22-23 shows us that we can do good works but not of him.

In Jn. 15: we see a fruitless branch thrown in the fire and in Matt. 7 we see Jesus saying I never knew you. That really gives good evidence that they were saints but not bearing fruit and so cast away. Clearly lost salvation.

What a blessing to know we are in his everlasting arms, that he carries us, that we are at his side, sitting at his feet and protected by his being our shield and sword. amen.

Am thankful for the free gift of the baptism of the Holy Spirit so he can be inside me.

The Babel of Gen. and the coming to Canaan have a simularity in principle.

These 2 things came to mind. I Don't think about Babel much. That is the tower of Babel.
The simularity is very intense.

1. Babel-- why did God scatter them?
a. They would settle down in one place. God's will is a priority when it comes to making choices. Here we see that if they stayed in one place they wouldn't fulfill his plan. His plan was that they must scatter throughout the earth and inhabit it. Does seem odd if a bunch of people are all gathered in one spot and there is so much earth to go around.

2. Canaan-- Why some wouldn't go to Canaan.

a. because of a negative report.
b. what was that report?
there are giants in the land. we are like grasshoppers to them.
c. What could be done to get the people to fight?
For the most part other tribes would join them and help.

3. What is the simularity?

a. God had plans --( for their benefit.)--
b. God gets glory for all things and yet all is for the benefit of mankind.

c. Man has a tendency to see benefits and not the glory of God. He doesn't always realise, that it is a testimony to the world when he or she receives any manifestation of faith.

4. Why wouldn't anyone want Canaan?

Canaan had a two-fold application.
a. most important was that the world would look at Canaan and the people who believed in God. They would say like they did in Jericho, told by Rahab also, but in my words--- The whole world is afraid of your God for he is defeating all peoples surrounding that area called Canaan, because he wants to possess it for a people who glorify him and have a living God who is powerful and does wonderful things for them. Could add more here.

b. God wanted a people who would be a testimony. They could pray and God would hear them and give them their hearts desire. While Egypt had no rains and used aquaducts, God would send a plentiful rain on Canaan and there would be abundant blessing. Aside ---remember the queen of Sheba? a picture--- she just stood in amazement and it said of her she had no more spirit in her. Egypt was extremely wealthy and along comes a man who has a God who causes him to exceed that. That's Solomon.

5. What may we learn?

a. That God is glorified when we receive our blessings.
b. That the negative report is a shadow of unbelief, which defiles our overcomer garments.
c. God uses different means to move his people toward his plans. in Babel he did it himself, in Canaan other tribes reached out to help weaker tribes to go in and possess their inheritance.
d. Any admonition to go in and possesss the promises of God can have a basis for being for the benefit of the hearer.
e. add the above to this and you have the testimony of the Assembly they also benefit from the testimony that a person went to God and not man for help.
f. If to many reports get out there that are negative the world will boo and hiss saying God is not true and doesn't do what he says and the people are a bunch of people who confess and not possess.

My hopes is that a clear understanding is left here that we have the priviledge to glorify our God and he is faithful. Also that our hearts desire is the world will come to him and be saved plus know he is more than a religion like any other but that he is a living wonderful God. While the world is being blinded in their minds to the truth of Jesus Christ it is most important that all the saints work together to not give him any bait. One being, faith doesn't work.

Let it go on record, faith not only works, but it is impossible for God to lie and fail a believing heart. May I ever be strengthened daily by his grace and the intercessory prayers of Jesus to be a testimony to a living faithful Jesus.

add this to start-- haven't had a pill for almost 40 years. Have been through some trials, even the death bed, cut in half, and poisoned. but God delivered. Would have drove off the cliff when hydroplaning on ice. God marvelously stopped the vehicle in Jesus name. A certain woman and her husband , when hearing that , when I shouted the name of Jesus, and the the truck stopped the woman said --" that's all you had time to do".

This post would never end if told all Jesus has done past years. Hope you see God glorified and not me in the testimony. God bless all.




faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.

This tremendous illumination came to my inner man this morning.

It should answer a lot of questions to those in difficulty concerning what direction they are going in.

We all need direction. The steps of the righteous are ordered of the Lord. Ps. 37:23 and in Ps. 27:11 lead me in a plain path.

Those bible study passages for today are the ones that the illumination deals with. It is so exciting because the plain path is what we all want.

Everything is second best to the truth that God wants a relationship with us. The supply of needs is a small thing. God is working in us by the assistance of the Holy Spirit to apply our lives in every thing to the new life. We were born in the world and are therefore of the world's ideas and concepts.

New man all things have passed away is our learning standard. As you continue in the word you will see that there is a lot to learn about those new life principles. How we talk, eat ,drink, work etc. are all addressed. The real issue is discipline.

It may be hard to believe, but God is using every minute of your life to bring about fellowship with him. That is why it is said seek first the kingdom. God is that kingdom. Nothing but frustration will follow any other coarse. Their is the possibility of few overcomers because the path is narrow. God will jealously have you like you must have him. no cheating in a bride husband relationship.

Idols and self must go. It must get out of the head and get in the heart. If we are found praising God in trials, we are making progress from the heart. God doesn't miss anything and that puts fear of God in me the writer. More surrender Lord is I know what your saying to me. I must come down off the pedestal and you reign in glory.

Many don't realise that the preacher is telling the truth and that he must measure up to it to.

So what can we do?
1. remember that everything in your life if you are a submitted believer is pointing you towards fellowship and relationship with God.
2. You have no higher goal, Jesus is the prize to be won.
3. He alone can help you do it.
4. He is the greatest object out of the Christian life to please and obtain.
5. the rewards are tremendous and out of this world.
6. Even in suffering he is there to love ,comfort and encourage you. (tears in eyes).------(now the Holy Spirit is praying through me.) back again--- My people do you love me for me alone? I have already given my promises so you won't feel you will lack anything. The table is ready and my continual feast is prepared. To fill you with fatness of the Spirit filled life to bring you to my fullness. My fullness can not include other things. It must be through much fellowship and time sitting at my feet. I desire to rule and reign on your behalf. Victory is always mine, desire is to always give that to you. Always cherish and obey my word. It is unchangable and stedfast.

7. pray is only part---we must learn to acknowledge his presence. He is brought into everything we get into. fellowship includes a awesome thing, it is seeing God work in providence apart from what we ask him to do as he is so involved in our lives with the imputing of his life.

example-- The husband comes home with candy or flowers. She didn't ask him to. He spontaniously does this for her. God does these things also. I am not just talking about getting things here though. It includes things that are sometimes hard to put in words. They are called spiritual blessings. Just one example--he can give you a spiritual gift. These come from him we don't do the thing. We are just the channel in which that gift flows.

By the time this day ends you can make the commitment to say father, I just want you, the benefits are just extra. live in me and through me for your glory. I receive this now by faith in Jesus name.


faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.

This scripture was so powerful in my heart this morning.

Ezekiel 12:25 and 28 I would like for you to read the passages first, my comment is that there is such a intense feeling as you read the stability of God speaking here. The only thing left to do is believe God means what he says.

After reading the word in Ezek., a wonderful understanding about relationship with God appeared before me. Before that would like to mention other scriptures you may be familiar with.

Isa. 55:11 God's word doesn't return void but accomplishes that which he pleases.
Lk. 21:33 heaven and earth may pass away but the word of God shall not pass away. see Dan. 9:12. also Jer.1:12

Now here is the special understanding. Ps. 1:2 see how the person is called upon to meditate on the word day and night?? Now look at 1Ki. 8:29 Solomon requests that God watches over the temple and the prayers made towards it where it is known that God dwells there. Notice he says watch over it day and night.

There you have it. Man is to stay in the word day and night and God is asked to watch for the prayers day and night. Prayers are the words of people. The word is the words of God. It will take the help of the Holy Spirit to be able to put this all together.

To help you see it. God is revealing here a mutual agreement. It is a tremendous union. You can't help it. You have to agree that through the meditating the word prayer will come also. It's a day and night thing. God and you as partners, focusing in on something day and night. Him the word he gave so you can think on it. You praying and him watching for it faithfully so he can answer your prayers. So shall you prosper and all the other good things --- read this ---- Ps. 1:3 might add he watches over us while we sleep. like that song praise him, praise him, praise him in the morning, praise him in the noon time , praise him praise him, praise him when the sun goes down.

The subject of joy.

In 2Sam. 6:14 when the ark was returned, David came down the street dancing with joy.----oh my is that proper??? Shouldn't we have songs and things that sound like a funeral??? No it wasn't a casket, it was God's dwelling place.

Where is God now??? Just like the ark it is within us by the Holy Spirit.

In Neh. 8:10 Most just read part of this verse. Look at this---They will meet the needs of the poor and that will cause them to also come (on holy day) no one will be sorry or sad, they will come to holy day with joy. strength and praise are the same thing.

In Ps. 42:4 this verse confirms that---They go to house of the Lord on holy day and they praise with joy. He longed for that.

Just what is this joy??? In simple words---God likes it because it expresses that God has ,can, or will do something. The will do is a faith thing. has done is a thanksgiving for what he did for us in the past. The can do is trust in him. So joy just about wraps it all up. Of course without God in a church no joy.

Joy in the ultimate expression is shouting. Halleluia is the most popular word shouted. When Israel shouted in praise-- the walls fell down flat. That meant the conquering of enemies who they couldn't conquer. Our praise ---releases faith which moves every mountain.

Just think no mountains --equal no need to conquer. Mountains sometimes encourage us to praise for God to move them.

Recently the Lord gave a song. Last night he encouraged me to sing it. Knew it was him doing that. Then today read this ---in the garden of hope, grow the laurels of future victory---
the roses of coming joy, the lilies of approaching peace. The song is about flowers and fragrances and includes Jesus the rose of sharon. Now I know what he was impressing.

All of this is that fellowship with God that is very personal. The song is his and mine and that is prophetical---then he confirms it with a kiss of his love--what I had read today. reread the paragraph above this one. God bless and may he bring joy in the hearts of his people today. amen.


faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.
