If one hides in ignorance and in suspicion, one has already accepted ignorance, but why? We are either lovers of the truth or lovers of the unknown and still hidden in the obscurity of darkness, but there is the Spirit of Truth and His mission is to do exactly that - to reveal the truth about everything.
Falsehood (illusion) is temporary, but God's truth remains forever.
Since we are not judges, sitting in judgment seats, we must ask God the Spirit (John 4:24) to show us the truth. That takes a childlike humility, doesn't it? Try it. It works.
All inspiration is from God the Creator. That's how he made us. We possess the spirit of life, which we had before this physical world was. God created human souls and not just upright walking frame, which we overbearingly pay attention to.
Holy Spirit gives us light and then we see only the truth; and then no longer (sort of wickedly) 'enjoy' suspicions and half-truths, things hidden in darkness. It takes a firm resolve, a decision by which we demonstrate to God and to ourselves of what stock we are. Are we His sons or not? Think about it.
Since you can't do anything about conspiracies, then why filling your mind with nonsense? There is a purpose, which God watches over. Rest in Him.
Liars never openly lie they hide those lies in a package of something that looks innocent, like feeding the world, helping victims of natural disasters, but those things are nothing more than a smokescreen. Behind this smokescreen are many hidden things, a drive for world dominance, full control of all gold reserves and centralizing.
Anything hidden in secrecy is never of the truth. The truth stands in perfect light on the hill and with wide open arms inviting us all to embrace it.
Illusion is a pretense, neatly camouflaged ulterior motives, which are nothing else but lies; these can only hide in time and darkness of this earth, but never in the timeless heavenly realm. hence. Anyone filled with the Holy Spirit is able to see through and then it is not fascination anymore. One leaves the secret machinations to those that wallow in that realm of illusion, I hold on to the truth.
So again. Why wasting time on intrigues or conspiracy theories?
Imagine your mind filled with holes, like the black holes in our galaxy. Those black holes suck into their vortex-like funnels anything and also anyone wanting to look inside with curiosity. Those curious ones want to know what's in them; and in no time they get sucked into them.
The Bible says that "the deep calls onto the deep" (Psalm 42:7), one attracts the similar and even of the exact kind.
Those black holes in the brain attract the same in others. I used 'brain' this time because we use the the anterior cingulate and striatum of the brain in our choice making.
Scientific study of the brain has concluded that that feeding on elements that provoke anger and fear, those of the sensational kind can permanently damage our brain.
[A quote from “How God changes your brain” by Andrew Newberg, M.D. and Mark Robert Waldman BallantineBooks.com]
Excessive anger or fear can permanently disrupt many structures and functions in both your body and your brain. These destructive emotions interfere with memory storage and cognitive accuracy, which in turn will disrupt our ability to properly evaluate and respond to social situations. Anger makes people indiscriminately punitive, blameful, pessimistic, and unilaterally careless in their logic and reasoning skills. Furthermore, anger encourages your brain to defend your beliefs—be they right or wrong—and when this happens, you’ll be more likely to feel prejudice toward others. You’ll inaccurately perceive anger in other people’s faces, and this will increase your own distrust and fear. It’s an insidious process that feeds on itself, and it can influence your behavior for very long periods of time. Eventually, it will even damage important structures in your brain.
[End of quote]
Sensation calls out to sensation and in this frame of mind even the bright light of truth gets drowned for it is often labeled as being something foreign or strange, like Freemasonry or other secret sect, because the mind was trained to think in those terms.
Anyone harboring secrets will be attracted to the same. A suspicious mind has a hard time believing and accepting something with childlike kind of a mind; hence, we must be converted and become like children. We waste precious time cluttering our mind with stuff we have nothing to do with. That's a big waste of God's intelligence.
Truth is often 'on the tip of our noses' it is plain and simple, childlike, but those who have been predisposed to think farfetched thoughts - charged with conspiracy theories, plots and intrigues trash - do not recognize the knock on the door. Jesus (the Truth) stands at the door of your heart and knocks.
Light attracts light. Truth attracts truth to have fellowship with.
(Read 2 Samuel 22:26-27 & Psalm 18:20-26)
God repays people according to their deeds and the way they go about Him and His kingdom.
However, if your mind is attracting the light of truth then you are like the wise virgin by having enough fuel for your oil lamp for the coming of the Bridegroom the Messiah.

The truth, peacemaking and sonship are synonymous - one single package. God is one and anything pertaining to Him speaks of that glorious oneness.
[John 17:17-19] Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
Truth sanctification speaks of
conformation and dedication to the quality of the heavenly truth in which hypocrisy,
double-mindedness or ulterior motives are never possible. Even Jesus sanctified
Himself for us so that we might abide in Him.
[John 18:37] Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth.
Jesus came to bring this complete
honesty and straightforwardness—the brightest of all lights in existence—to
earth. Those who are of the truth kind will hear and will come to Him; and also
to those who preach the truth in His name.
[John 18:38] Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice. Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” (39) And when he had said this, he went out…
God’s sons’ characteristic is
peacemaking, no intrigues, deviousness, double-mindedness or ulterior
motives—which we are busy figuring out and, I assume, nail down the culprits by
calling them liars. In the peacemaker’s mind that is already settled; and so
the peacemakers are busy with higher things than just being busy finding out
what’s hiding in darkness.
[Matthew 5:9] Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God.
Lambs are
always peaceful. It means that both sheep and sons are God’s seed. “My sheep
hear My voice”—they heard the voice of truth and respond to it quite naturally;
they do not hear or follow hirelings because the hired hands are strangers.
Hirelings do not belong to God's family and do not deal with the truth; their
job is catching. These fishers of man cast their nets into the sea and drag
onto the shore many fishes; and then the ministering spirits - God's angels -
do the sorting out ("by their fruits
you will know them" - Matthew 7:20-22). They only preach salvation and
church belonging and not much beyond that point. – Justification by faith,
being saved; and after death going to heaven. Perhaps they do not know anything
else?
[Luke 10:2] The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.
It can be
compared to a marathon race where the marathon runners start to run, but they
are being prevented from running the full race. They are stopped at 100 meters
being treated as sprint runners instead. Imagine the frustration of those who
go to church just to make it to heaven being taught to trust Jesus.
Justification by faith is only justification, it is not yet righteousness, but
a positional justification, or exemption from duty, but is it? Since we will be
accountable for every careless word—said Jesus in Matthew 12:36—then how much
more for our deed. But that does not fit in the present theology. As a result
we are being taught to see ourselves as God sees us and accept ourselves as we
are, on the basis of the done work of Christ on the cross. Then we must believe
of course that we are saved and made holy. But, we keep on struggling with that
faith for we are constantly kept on the outskirts; as if not allowed to go
deeper into God's most glorious kingdom. A marathon runner wants to run the
full race and overcome the distance and outgrow the babyhood and its ‘diapers’
but is prevented from doing so.
Overcomers run
the full race and they go deeper into God's kingdom. The further or deeper they
go the less struggles they have with faith or with trusting God; for they
indeed outgrow the elementary things. The kingdom of God becomes plainer to
them.
The hirelings
do not have much else but hype, firing people up in faith, and using
psychology, e.g., stop speaking your own
words; you must declare God's word only. Stand firmly in your faith because the
roaring lion the devil… Do not give the enemy an opportunity. Or they tell
you that God loves you as you are.
Well, if we hate children rapists, and serial killers and we are repulsed at
these things, and at those committing those crimes, then this also comes from
our Creator. In Noah’s flood sinners and their sins both perished. Jesus did
not only die spiritually, but also physically. The sinner and his sin are one
unit. The sinner repents the sin is removed, but the unit remains one and the
same yet cleansed; and in due time even sanctified.
I don’t think
that God loved Hitler, but if Hitler would have repented and turned to God then
God’s love would flow toward him also; but then he would not have murdered
millions and brought great suffering to the German people.
God’s love
needs connection. It is not a whimsy feeling or sentiment it is active. So God loved the world that He gave His Son…
(John 3:16) But He gave. He did something and He connected with us through His
Son who died and rose again. When you confess Him as such then you are saved—registered
in the Book of Life in heaven. You are seated and positioned, but there is more.
The next birth is of water (God’s Word) and the Spirit. And there is still
another birth when the marathon runner completes the race and has fully entered
into God’s kingdom; and no longer struggles with faith or sin, but is indeed
born of God and is like wind. No one knows where he comes from and to where he goes
(John 3:5-8).
It’s a strange
philosophy, which we constantly try to prop up lest it should fall. The New
Testament is the extension of the Old Testament. The first button on your shirt
has been already buttoned up, which is the sin-defining law, but grace is its
extension, which came to us through Jesus Christ. You cannot keep these two
separately. It’s like telling yourself that you no longer need roads or traffic
lights, you sort of grew wings and your car became a plane. If everyone did that
then we would have chaos and many deadly accidents. Without the first button
there would not be the second. Without sin definition there would be no
repentance etc.
The next verse
happened to be written to the Jews (in order the avoid this now “dirty” word, because
the anti-Semites trashed the Jew; “Hebrews” is a nicer word). It is not written
to the Romans or Greeks, it’s directed to a quite different mind, which
gentiles either do not like or subconsciously resist.
INFO: Only
recently many gentile Christians are realizing that God has not rejected the
Jew; and that they should bless the natural seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob;
for God’s blessings flow through that line, both physically as well as
spiritually.
[Hebrews 5:12-14] For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.
INFO: Martin
Luther suggested that it was Apollos who wrote the Book of Hebrews.
[Hebrews 6:1-2] Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.
Matthew 13:41
& 48-49 speaks of angels doing the separation of the good fish from the bad,
the chaff and stumbling blogs, tares from the field, etc. It is one and the
same act being portrayed with many similes for the reader to grasp the one and
timeless spiritual dimension. The good fish are ‘kosher’ (fit to be eaten); the
disciples of Jesus did that also. But other fish, like catfish, serve as
cleaners or vacuums of the sea floors; they have no scales and they are deemed
as being unclean, not kosher.
[Luke 10:3-6] Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. Carry no money belt, no bag, and no shoes; and greet no one on the way.
We are pacemakers, like lambs,
amidst warlike people—wolves. Peacemakers have deeper trust; and hence, a
deeper dependence on the Father regarding the mammon of unrighteousness—money.
This sentence, “greet no one on
the way” means to be decisive and single-minded. This clarity of purpose and
mission is prophetic in nature; it comes from the higher intelligence. Then
comes the further instruction,
“Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’ If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.”
It means that you must only seek
the sons, His lost seed who’s characteristic is peacemaking. When you find
God’s ‘hidden or lost’ son then you will also find His seed whose fruit would
be peace. In a response to your greeting of peace they will make room for
NAVEH, the habitation place for the dwelling of God’s gift of faith. Preach, teach
the truth, and let your greeting of peace remain on that entire household and then
more blessings will follow.
Jesus continues saying,
[Luke 10:7-9] Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house. Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you; and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
Quite obviously, just the
observational basis does not satisfy the kingdom’s requirements. Divine healing
needs love, compassion and connection; it does not work from a distance, as if
watching a show, or analyzing and trying to figure out the preacher with one’s
suspicious or prejudiced mind. The preparation of NAVEH—for the gift of faith, for
His word, for His peace and above all for the messenger of God—takes more than
willingness. If we find a man of peace then as the first step our peace then
found its resting place, then more is on the way. Sons always will respond to
the same quality, which is sonship.
Jesus is the vine; even a tree,
the Tree of Life, and God’s sons are the branches of the same tree. The Tree of
Life has fruits that fall to the ground and each fruit contains the core with
one or many seeds. The right milieu or environment makes this seed grow yet
another tree, but in fact it is the same tree because it is the same kind. That
tree’s seed produces another tree with the same fruits; hence, anyone not being
of that kind will not be called a son, but a hireling.
Jesus continues, but now in the
negative part of the Tree of Knowledge of TOV (good) and RAH (bad).
INFO: At first we were directed by
God to eat of the first tree, the ETZ DA’AT (Tree of Knowledge). (One must be
reformed to understand it.) Through the right choices we will eventually be
escorted to the other tree in the middle of God’s Garden—ETZ HEI’IM (Tree of
Life).
People often avoid anything
negative, having almost an aversion to anything negative, yet the negative emphasizes
the positive. God’s seed has no problem with it because the seed is good. The
good discerns and quickly recognizes anything evil. We are IN the world but not OF the world. One must make a choice; left and right;
right and wrong; blessing or curse, life or death, etc.
Jesus said, “But If you do not
find the ‘hidden’ sons—God’s own seed, for you will see the fruit—the appropriate
or inappropriate response to your greeting of peace; then act accordingly. If
it is negative; then do not stay in that house, take back your greeting of
peace and go elsewhere. You are not called to waste time or scatter God’s treasures.
“Do not throw pearls before swine.” In other words, He said “Find Me the Lost
Sheep of the House of Israel, the lost seed, lost sons and those that love the
truth.” Those who are of the truth will come to Jesus for the Father will draw
them to His Firstborn; and naturally so for they belong to the same tree being
its branches or extensions. In time they will bear much fruit and thus prove to
be His disciples (John 15:8-10).
[Luke 10:10-12] But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, ‘Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’ I say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
The “yet be sure of this, that the
kingdom of God has come near,” means that with the preaching and teaching of
the Gospel of Peace comes God’s Kingdom. It comes near to those who do not
respond to the greeting of peace, or make no provision for it; and make no room
for the lodging of God's word in their hearts and in their midst.
The truth is the fruit of the
Tree of Life and Jesus was God’s Firstborn Son to Him all things belong in
heaven and on earth. We are His brothers; hence branches.
[John 15:5-6] I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.
[John 15:8-10] My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
The marathon runners finally
arrive, being born of the Spirit. They eat fruits of ETZ HEI’IM and like Enoch
and his students serve God in a completely different dimension. They run
according to different laws. They come and minister to us like those people on
the sides of the road with bottles of water refreshing the marathon
runners.
Obviously, we are partaking of
the ETZ HEI’IM. Love, joy and peace come from the same tree, the Tree of
Life. Have you made the choice?
