SPIRITUAL HOUSE

After David was finally crowned King of Israel and Yah gave him rest in the land a desire entered his heart to build a house unto the Lord. This was a noble thing, but Yah said, "It is I who will build you a house and establish it, but from your offspring will come a son who will build my house".

David is like many of us today who envision grand cathedrals with ceilings so high they make you dizzy, hand polished wood you can see your face in, stained glass windows and padded pews with all the splendor men can apply. This is thinking as a man, carnally. David could only understand natural things, spiritual birth was not available to him but, for us, it is pathetic that we think of a house for a indestructible Yah which can be destroyed. Heaven is his throne, earth his footstool and we try to fit him into a man made structure?

Yah gave Israel the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant because man is carnal and had to have something tangible. While Moses was up on mount Sinai, the people built a golden calf and said, "These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you out of Egypt". Then Aaron announced, "Tomorrow there will be a festival to the Lord". I guess the idea in the hearts of the people of Israel came from their sojourning in a pagan country where gods were made of tangible things such as gold, silver, rock or wood.

Is the church world any different? New religion structures called churches are springing up all over the place and Yah did not order them anymore than he ordered the calf and he is just as unhappy with today's idol as he was Israel's.

It goes on to say, "Afterwards they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry". Today they sit down to a carnal sermon and drink in the emotionalism, a substitute for the Spirit of Yah, and let it carry them along on its waves of feelings and rise up to play religious games. Calling religious things spiritual, "Blind leaders of the blind", both falling in the pit they themselves dug. Religion is not spiritual, religion it is carnal.

The man lacking spirituality needs things they can see and touch, something their carnal minds can relate to. A spiritual man needs none of these things for they understand spiritual things are not carnal and tangible or temporal.

Well, David spent his whole life as King gathering up materials to build Yah a house. He knew he would never see his dream come true but one of his offsprings would build Yah's house and he was going to do what he could.

Soloman, David's son, built a house for the Ark of the Covenant, for David and for Israel, but not for Yah. They saw a literal physical interpretation of what Yah said. There would be a house built for Yah to dwell in as he promised, but not as they foresaw.

Yah does not dwell in a house made with hands, but in a spiritual house started by YahShua, a descendant of David through the flesh but the Son of Yah through his bloodline, and it will be finished by Yah's other Sons in our time.

YahShua was talking to a Samaritan woman one day down by one of Jacob's wells and they were discussing where one should worship. She said to YahShua, "Our fathers worship on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is at the Temple in Jerusalem". YahShua declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem". Then he went on to say, "...a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks."

Yah is doing great things in our generation. Revelation knowledge is flowing like a river. The angel told Daniel in the last days knowledge will increase and well it has. Man has made more advancement within the last one hundred years than in all of previous history and I enjoy the fruits of this knowledge as much as anyone. Television has fulfilled the great commission taking the gospel all over the world and the computer has given us access to vast quantities of information.

On the other hand, Yah's people are right where they were shortly after the first church age. They have neither grown spiritually nor advanced in spiritual knowledge. Needing milk like a baby, not solid food. We must go on to grow up into the head. They, however, are still holding the elementary teachings about Messiah. You are admonished to leave such teachings and go on to maturity, not laying again and again and again the foundation of repentance, and of faith in Yah, instruction in baptism(s), the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. These pretty well sums up the entire realm of church teachings, but they were told to leave them behind and go on to maturity. This they have not done.

Humanity is doing the will of Yah and increasing in knowledge but the believer is not. Why? What is going on here?

First, I want you to know the religious leaders of today are not spiritual, they are religious, and can not bring you to maturity. They would not even if they could. They have to keep you on milk so you will depend on them. If you matured you would no longer need them and they would be without a job, and worse, without the wealth and glory it affords them. They would be just one of the believers, as it was meant to be, and they would not get to stand on their little thrones (pulpits) every Sunday and Wednesday lording it over everyone else. Lets examine a few things listed above and see how they keep you immature.

REPENTANCE

What is the minister in your church's plea each service night just before closing. Repent, come to the altar and get saved again for surely you have sinned sometime during the week and you need, as I have heard one say, "to ride the altar of salvation straight into glory". They shout repent, repent, in this present wilderness just as John the Baptist did in his.

It is always Yah's way to call the spirit of a thing after its father or mother. The religious leaders of YahShua time were told they, "are of their father the Devil". John the Baptist came in the spirit of Elijah because his ministry was to point out sin and preach repentance just as Elijah did in his day.

John preached under the anointing until YahShua appeared upon the scene. Then Yah's anointing left him and went with YahShua. He had seen it in a vision and told his disciples to follow YahShua but he did not take his own advice. Besides, it would mean Yah was through with him and some of his disciples refused to leave him so he carried on as usual, but the message was dead, unnecessary. John no longer needed to preach, faith, about the one who was to come because he had already come, experience, and it was a dead order.

Soon he was arrested by man, religion, and put in denominational prison and finally beheaded. That is to say, his authority was cut off for there was no anointing anymore. He could of at any time laid down his ministry and followed YahShua but he could not shake off the spirit of unbelief lurking in the depths of his heart. Later in prison it surfaced when he had to ask, "Is he the one, ...or should we look for another?"

When YahShua died on the cross and arose the third day the New Covenant was established and the Old Covenant of animal sacrifices became a dead order. "He takes away the first to establish the second."

YahShua was a carpenter in his earthly life and was qualified to speak about building things. YahShua knew when you built a structure you build a sure foundation, but that does not make up the entire building. How would you like to live in a house with just a foundation? Well, that is just where the spiritual believers have lived for almost two thousand years and worse, they tear that out regularly on church nights and build it again. It is no wonder Yah does not have a spiritual house to dwell in. They never get beyond the foundation. Where are to walls of strength to protect against the enemy and the roof of shelter from spiritual forces? Where are the windows of revelation and the doors of entry into new realms of spiritual growth?

My father was a carpenter, also, and I was privileged to help him on many occasions as he built the house I grew up in. The foundation was laid and fortified with rebar and iron and with his strong hands the finishing touches were put to it. If a flaw or weakness was found in the structure, the whole foundation was not torn out and replaced. The flaw or weakness was simply fixed. The Apostles build a spiritual foundation with repentance, faith and baptism, finishing it with the laying on of hands, YahShua Messiah the chief cornerstone.

My Dad was no expert in foundations but he knew the fundamentals of building the foundation. His area of expertise was working with the wood, sheetrock and such. When he began to build the framework I helped hold the boards in place. I would get the nails for him to fasten it all together. He was very precise, each board had to fit just right and if for some reason a board was cut too short he would lay it aside and cut another just to fit. He did not tear down what was already build just because he cut one board short. He simply replaced it.

The foundation builders were others in the first Church Age. We are to build upon the foundation they laid for us. In our spiritual growth we will make many mistakes because we are not skilled in spiritual things, but we do not have to go back and tare out the foundation each time. That would be foolish and we would never get the structure finished, not counting all the extra time, cost and energy of rebuilding again and again. We are to just ask Yah to fix our mistake. We do not have to be saved over and over putting to naught the blood that covers us. Yah does not impute sin to us if it's simply a mistake. He knows we will make mistakes and has made provision for it in Messiah YahShua. Stop tearing out the foundation again and again and began to build upon it. Allow the Spirit of Yah to wean you from the bottle.

Most believers are so carnally minded that they would not recognize a spiritual truth if it bit them, but it will not. Spiritual things belong to those not satisfied with the natural and have a hunger for the spiritual. YahShua said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit... Blessed are they who hunger and thirst, ...for they shall be filled".

When Yah came to earth in human flesh he spoke to the people in parables, stories with hidden meaning, and a lot of what he did puzzled the disciples because they thought as men, not as Yah.

Today we have mass meetings where large numbers of people are led in the sinner's prayer and receive salvation. There are no tears of repentance on most faces and no grief or regret shown. The words are not their own but someone else's and they mouth them like controlled puppets.

Now in the crowd of those who came forth to be saved, stands a man weeping so hard that he can not mouth the words like the others. All he can do is stand there pouring out his grief and feeling sorry for his sinful life. The Holy Spirit is washing his soul with his own tears. He does not hear the pretty words of the sinner's prayer for he is having a spiritual birth. Any woman can tell you birth is painful. This man is travailing while his inner man is coming forth as a new creation.

YahShua explains, "You must be born of water, natural, and of the spirit, to ENTER the kingdom of Yah... Flesh gives birth to flesh, but spirit gives birth to spirit". Then he scolds, "You are a teacher, ...and you do not understand these things. I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of Heavenly things."

It is not hard to understand Yah's ways. You just have to understand that Yah is a Spirit being and nothing tangible is real to him because it will pass away. Only eternal things have real substance and impresses Yah. If you want to please Yah become spiritually minded, not religious minded. YahShua said, "...the words that I speak are spirit and life".

YahShua came to show us Yah the Father in the things he said and did. We were not suppose to see YahShua in anything, only the Father. YahShua always pointed man to the Father. He does not want to entertain us with his deeds or by the stories he told, we are to glean spiritual principles and see the nature and attributes of he who is invisible.

FAITH

Why would something so vital to your spiritual life as faith be called elementary? And why are you encouraged to leave it behind and go on? The righteous shall live by faith, ...be justified through faith, ...walk by faith and are ...saved by faith. "Without faith it is impossible to please Yah."

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of thing not seen."(KJV) "...being sure of what we hope for..."(NIV Bible) Wo-ah! What did that just say? Let's get this right, faith is reaching out for what you HOPE to receive the evidence of things not yet seen? Have we been reading and taught faith wrong all these years? What this is saying is that you can be sure to receive what you hope for. If you hope to be righteous, faith only assures that you can be even though you do not see it yet. You want to be justified before Yah, faith tells us that it is obtainable, but not seen now.

There seems to be some mystery here about faith. We are promised by faith we WILL walk with Yah because it is our hope to do so, however it does not appear that we are? "We live by faith, not by sight." This does not hold much satisfaction and is pretty empty! Faith only assures we can have the things of Yah but they are not seen yet. I want to experience and have the thing I hope for. Faith then is only a foundation principle and something to build upon. Faith only keeps you until the experience comes.

You are to leave behind the elementary teachings of faith in Yah and come to the experience of them and know Yah, by revelation knowledge, and understand His ways. It is said of Israel and can be said today of the people of Yah that they knew Him in His works, what He does, gifts, miracles and blessings. On the other hand, like Moses, some have had an experience with Him. They have been on the mountain of Yah and commune with Him. These are the “called out” mature ones who know Him in His ways and attributes. They speak to Him as their Father Yah and are being conformed into His likeness and coming to understand His plan.

You no longer need faith for salvation, righteousness, justification. If you have been born again you ARE saved, righteous and justified. You only need to mature and learn how to walk in the Spirit. "...For we live, move and have our being in him". Faith only holds you up until you come into the EXPERIENCE of what is hoped for. Faith is good, for it is counted for righteousness, but the experience of spiritual birth is better for it gives you what you have had faith for.

If you are saved by faith, it is no wonder you need to get saved each Sunday night. Faith is fickle and subject to change. Some shrink back and are destroyed after having faith, while others will turn back from the faith and will betray and hate each other. Some will loose their faith and become wishy-washy. Then it is possible for your faith to fail. Furthermore there is degrees of faith: No faith, ...Lack of faith, ...Small faith, ...Little faith, and ...Great faith

Faith assured the Roman soldier that his servant would be healed if YahShua just said so. It kept the woman with an issue of blood crawling through the crowd until she touched him. YahShua said, "I felt virtue, power, go out of me". People it is not faith that heals, it is only the motivating factor that brings us to the source of healing. I do not recall any place where someone said, "I have faith and I am healed." Faith moves you, but it is Yah who gives the experience.

Faith is not a force like gravity or electricity that can be manipulated by man at his will. Faith is a heart matter and a gift of the Spirit. Faith moves you, but it is Yah who gives the experience. If you say otherwise you are giving glory where it does not belong and making a god.

Those who have come forward to be saved will leave the meeting to face life in this wicked and perverse world. Which will more than likely retain fellowship with Yah, the man saved by faith or the one who had a life changing experience? The one who by faith reached out and took hold of the hope of salvation or the one who became a new creation man?

Paul tells us that faith says, "...if you confess with your mouth, YahShua is Lord,, sinner's prayer, and believe in your heart that Yah raised him from the dead, you WILL BE saved, Faith." But, YahShua said, "No one can see the kingdom of Yah unless he IS born again."

I am not saying the people who go forward in the mass meeting are not saved, only that they are saved by faith and faith is the substance of thing hoped for. "But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has".

Being saved from your sins is not the same as a spiritual birth. One is a looking forward to and the other is an experience. Faith is what the Old Testament people had, ours is a much better Covenant.

“By faith Abel offered to Yah a better sacrifice, ...By faith Enoch, ...did not experience death,” and “By faith Noah when warned about things not yet seen... built an ark.” We see that by faith, “Abraham believed Yah and it was accounted to him for righteousness, ...by faith, ...by faith... Then it goes on to say, “All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised, they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance”. And again, “These were all commended for their faith yet none of them received what had been promised”.

However, Yah has a better way and it is the New Covenant in his blood. “Yah had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.” Through the new birth we can now experience what the Old Testament people hoped to receive and thus they will see their hope fulfilled through us, “...We are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses...”

You may say, "But what about them? Will they know salvation?" They will partake with us in it, but they will come under their own order. "But every man in his own order: Messiah the firstfruits; afterward they that are Messiah's at his coming." Now I would like to say here that if you have received salvation by faith as the "faith teachers" preach you will also stand with the Old Testament people in the Kingdom of Yah. Yours will be everlasting life as is granted in John 3:16. However, those who have been born again and who follow on into the fullness of the Spirit will be changed from mortal to immortal as was the pattern Son.

The mournful man has obtained by experiencing the new birth, the very thing the others are just having faith for. Faith does not change you, it only keeps you until the EXPERIENCE comes.

We no longer have to live by faith, there is a better way. Keep in mind that the New Testament Gospels are a record of things before the cross and the rest was written to the early church, which was immature and was still being taught the foundation truths. The Holy Spirit came so that we can live in the experience of what faith holds out to us.

Faith pleases Yah and it is accounted to us for righteousness, while being born again puts us in his realm and establishes a relationship with him. Salvation saves you from sin, but being born again places you in the family of Yah. It takes you from being saved to being the people of Yah born in the "King's" house of incorruptible seed. "Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world." So, we are told to leave faith behind and embrace maturity by experiencing what we had faith for.

When you were a child in school you learned from a book the thing you would need in life, when you matured you left the elementary teaching and books and put the principles of what you had learned to work experimentally in your day to day life. We should do the same in our spiritual walk.

I want you to notice that after the cross Paul begins to see this spiritual principle. We do not need faith counted to us for righteousness, we are righteous. It is a free gift to those who receive Yah's abundance. "Grace reigns through righteousness to bring eternal life..." Righteous means right standing with Yah, reconciling us to Yah the Father through His blood and bringing justification. This is salvation. However, through being born again we obtain spiritual and immortal life. YahShua brought Yah's abundance to us by His death and resurrection. It is up to you just how much of that abundance you enter into.

If ever there was a sin beyond rejecting the blood of YahShua, it is to not appropriate all it bought for us. Do not make His death and blood of non-effect by not accepting by experience all that is ours in Yah. Faith is hope and when what is hoped for is experienced then hope is no longer needed.

BAPTISMS

Where did baptism start? Well, we are told in the Old Testament that a laver, basin, of water sat before the curtain into the Holy Place of the Tabernacle and later by the door in the Temple. This laver was there so the priest could wash the dust and sweat off before going in to minister before Yah so they would not defile the Lord's House with human pollution. This was a type of baptism(spiritual washing) that would be ours. We should submit to the Water of The Word daily less we defile the Lord's house, which we are, with human pollution(understanding)

John the Baptist came baptizing in the wilderness and the people who went out to him understood very well what he was doing because they understood about the laver. John's ministry was to prepare the way before him. That is to cleanse the people of their sin so they could accept YahShua's ministry. This is a sad indictment against the religious order of that day, apparently the priest and sacrifices were not cleansing the people of sin. Why? By this time the priesthood was corrupt and unacceptable animals were being sacrifices. So John was sent by Yah to prepare the hearts of the people with repentance and baptism.

Now let me explain something here, all through the "Dark Ages" the Catholic Church was the only representation of Yah there was to the world and it was mixed with man and pagan rites. Then Yah brought back the foundation truths to the people by Martin Luther, a young Cardinal, and the message of repentance and salvation began to be preached by the fundamentals. But it was, like John's baptism, only a baptism by faith, as under the Old Covenant.

Then in 1906 Yah poured out his Holy Spirit in what is called, "The Latter Rain Outpouring" and the church was to partake of it and the fullness of what YahShua bought on the cross. However, like the Israelites of old they did not go in and possess their possessions. They misunderstood because they were blinded by doctrine and were carnally minded. Soon even those of the Pentecostal movement fell into doctrinal pits and did not mature and did not go any further. Now a new generation of believers has come and they are going on to possess their possessions and receiving the fullness of their spiritual inheritance.

Yah had told John the Baptist that YahShua would baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. So there are several baptisms as it says in the book of Hebrews.

Once a proselyte, new convert, is made in the church organization they whisk him off to the baptistery to be plunged into water. This is a follow through of what John the Baptist started in the time of YahShua. Most go down by faith and come up by faith. This is not a spiritual experience of anything, just a dunking.

Use of natural water is an outward pious act that does nothing for the spirit. It was a symbolic ritual of removing the filth of the flesh under the Levitical Laws of Moses. John the Baptist brought it from the priesthood and door of the Tabernacle to the common people. If water baptism is used as it was originally ordained, there would need be a baptistery at the door of each church. Then every service would begin with all being baptized before entering the sanctuary. Catholicism comes closer to water baptism than any denomination, except fundamental Judaism, for they have a vat of holy water near the door in most of their churches.

In the church that I came out of, water baptism was supposed to be an outward symbol of an inward work. The trouble with that is most of the time the convert has been saved by faith and has not yet obtained any inward work. And, any person who has been born again is too immature to have any inward works as yet.

So what does water baptism mean, and why was it ordained by Yah? YahShua brought it out of symbolism into fulfillment by saying that the Word of Yah was like water, or a river. It is the washing, baptism, of the water of the word. It was a type and shadow of that which was to come and a promise of holiness Yah holds out to the spiritual man. YahShua washed the feet of the disciples in water but later said, "You are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you".

YahShua told the Samaritan woman he would give her water that she would never thirst again. She said, like most would today, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming to draw water". She said this because she was carnal minded and could only see the object(natural water) and missed the lesson (water of the word of life). YahShua told her the water was a gift of Yah and still she did not understand that it was a baptism(spring of living water) welling up to eternal life. The hallmark of religion is carnal mindedness. What did YahShua do then? He spent three days in Sychar teaching them about Yah, giving them a baptism of living water.

You are to be washed with the water of the Word of Yah every moment of every day of your lives. So when you come before Him to worship, or to ask a petition you do not bring your polluted nature along. However, grace covers us and we do not die as the priest of old would have. David said to meditate upon the Word day and night. Do you ever wonder why prayers do not get answered? This is one of the reasons. You are to wash, put off, your old human ways by hearing what the Word of Yah revealed by the Spirit of Truth, not the dead letter of the law, is saying. You must allow the Spirit of Truth to conform you into the likeness of His dear Son, and to reveal our Father Yah.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is another experience, another aspect of Yah. If you seek Him you will find Him, but not by the means offered today in the Pentecostal movement. You do not receive Him by faith, it is an experience and just as precious as being born again. We do not need the instructions of baptism by the Pentecostals who say the evidence that they received the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues like the Apostles upon the first out-pouring. They teach you to receiver the gift of the Holy Spirit by faith. The disciples in the upper room did not receive it by faith they experienced it. Tongues may occur, but it is not the evidence of the experience. Tongues can be faked or mimicked from others and they certainly can not be learned. It is a supernatural gift in operation. We have a lot of tongue talkers in the ranks of Pentecost. I have to ask just how many of them are learned or mimicked?

Paul later alludes to the tongue, language, of angels. So, somewhere between the time the Spirit was poured out at Pentecost and the letter to the church at Corinth, speaking in tongues had become a doctrine taking on new meaning. In the beginning tongues was a gift to teach man, not a language for talking to Yah. Yah hears and speaks the language of the heart and that is the language of the Spirit.

The gifts and manifestations of the Spirit are not ours to own as the church teaches. They are the works of the Spirit and He gives them as He wills. That means He will manifest any of the gifts at anytime He wishes through anyone He wishes. The way the church teaches it is so they can control it and bring it under their authority, or so they think. In times past Yah over looked their ignorance, but now He calls us to repent and to become mature.

The purpose of the gifts was not so man could build a Kingdom or ministry, but to bring us to maturity. Man has convinced himself that he can be in control of the spiritual gifts of Yah and make Him do their bidding, but the true purpose of the Spirit of Yah is to come upon man as a helpmate for him.

Let us not be children in understanding. "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, understood as a child, thought as a child: but when I became a man, mature, I put away childish things, elementary teachings". Paul says, "...tongues shall cease along with prophecy, preaching, and knowledge , human understanding". The instructions in baptisms are elementary teachings and needs to be left behind.

I just want you to understand that the tongues the disciples received at Pentecost was not a heavenly language. It was known languages of the time, although unknown to the disciples. The disciples were uneducated men from Galilee and here they were speaking to men from all around the Middle East in their native tongues. A demonstration of the presence and power of Yah as they announced that the Kingdom of Yah was theirs if they could believe it. YahShua said, "...You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you." Here YahShua is saying power is the evidence of being baptized. Power to be Yah's witness and to overcome when the baptism of fire comes upon you.

The baptism of fire is Yah's refining work. No one likes a baptism of fire because it burns up the chaff, sin, and the wood, hay and stubble of religious theology in our life. We submit to its cleansing, refining work so we can come forth as Gold, yahlikeness.

Raw gold is found hidden in a mixture of dirt, carnally, rock, hardness, and minerals, attitudes. It must under go refinement to become pure, holy, and valuable, precious. By heating in the baptism of fire the raw ore, soul, the gold is separated from the other substances. Then the dross must be skimmed off, which are all preconceived ideas of Yah and His plan. The more this procedure is done the finer and purer the gold becomes. However, each time the dross is skimmed away some of the precious metal, foundation teachings, goes with it but the whole of the gold is made more pure, more mature.

This baptism of fire is not sickness, though if you become sick, because of ignorance, Yah can use that to teach you something. The baptism of fire is not natural troubles common to man, although Yah can use them for your growth. The baptism of fire is being tried, cursed or punished for the Words sake, and for the testimony of the Lord. When they point their finger at you and say, "You are of the devil", because you do not go with the status-quo and are unorthodox in your beliefs just remember they said the same thing about YahShua, you are in good company.

Thank Yah the baptism of fire, too, will be left behind as we mature into spirit beings and true sons of Yah. If we suffer rejection and are put to death, symbolical, with Him then we will also reign in the Kingdom Age with him. Man does not have to physically kill you to put you to death. All they have to do is kill your influence and you are dead. A saying went around in the late seventies, "God is dead." Well, this is true in the Religious Systems of today. They kill His influence with man made doctrines and religious ideas that exalt themselves above Yah.

LAYING ON OF HANDS

The laying on of hands had it birth when Yah told Moses to have Aaron lay his hands upon the offering of sacrifice to transfer his' sins upon the sacrifice. In any sin offering the priest is to lay his hands upon the head of the sacrifice.

In the early church under the twelve Apostles the laying on of hands was used to set in office. YahShua did not teach this, it was a carry over from the priesthood. Today this is still practiced in most denominations. This foundation teaching is used as in the Old Testament and most of the time they are not Yah's man but belongs to the Babylonian Harlot Church System. It is the Spirit of Yah who places in office today and I can tell you that the choice of the Spirit is most often someone man would not choose.

When I was in the church there was a big movement of the laying on of hands. Laying on of hands for healing, casting out demons, placing in a ministry, imparting spiritual gifts and ministering, as if it was theirs to do. After I was called out of that form of worship, Yah began to teach me the error of that way.

It is not necessary for a man to lay hands upon you. As a matter of fact it can be detrimental to you. If a religious antichrist spirit instead of the Spirit of Yah is moving that person, you receive a religious spirit with all it curses. Because all who say, Lord, Lord is not of Yah. The laying on of hands is a spiritual imparting from the one who is doing the laying on of hands. If you submit to it you are opening yourself up to receive from the spirit realm whither it be good or bad. So be careful whom you let lay hands on you and know it does nothing for the physical man.

Let us lay aside this elementary teaching and go on to be mature and grow in understand of the things of Yah. If you walk in the Spirit all the power you need for anything is already imparted to you upon receiving the Holy Spirit. "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and yahlikeness". Seek the Lord with your whole heart and hear what the Spirit says unto the Church, believers.

RESURRECTION

There are two kinds of resurrections in the Bible a type and shadow of what is to come. All through YahShua's ministry He kept saying, "the kingdom of Yah is like". So, YahShua's ministry and most of what He did was really a prophecy, a type and shadow, of thing to come on this side of the cross. YahShua called Himself a prophet, for a prophet prophesies.(

Today as in YahShua's time there are those who do not believe in a resurrection. And then there are those who believe in reincarnation, an abstract form of resurrection. However, the Bible shows us the truth about it.

In the early church age the concept of resurrection was a point of division and argument. Today, however, most keep their views to themselves for it is irrelevant to life as it is lived and man has a tendency to ignore anything beyond death. It has become a taboo subject except in the ranks of religion and Christianity. Since my purpose here is not to argue over beliefs, I will dwell upon the subject as the Bible records it.

The resurrection of Lazarus spoke of one type of resurrection, while YahShua's own resurrection speaks of another. See the article, "Resurrection".

Lazarus was in the grave four days and came forth in a flesh and blood body. Thus Lazarus' resurrection is a type of one kind of resurrection that fulfills Yah's promises of everlasting life. YahShua knew Lazarus was sick for word was sent to Him, but He did not go until Lazarus was in the grave four days. Why? Was there some purpose in this?

Then there is the YahShua type of resurrection. YahShua was in the tomb three days and three nights. Three is the number of perfection. When He came forth that glorious day He was a spirit being. Man is a triune being made up of spirit, soul and body. In the plan of Yah this is the order of salvation. When we are born again we become spirit beings the first step. Then there is the renewing of our minds, intellect and understanding which saves the soul. This is the second step and where we are today. The next great move of Yah will bring in body salvation and this was what YahShua was trying to show us.

The YahShua kind of resurrection is reserved for those who have experience spiritual birth and have become overcomers. They are willing to let the Holy Spirit's refining fire do its work in their life. Today, Yah has a people out in the wilderness who are pouring out their humanity, life's blood, and will, like YahShua, come forth immortal. These are called sons of Yah. YahShua is the first born among many brothers, for "Yah has given us power to BECOME sons of Yah,"

Many today are willing to admit that the Bible calls us sons of Yah but they do not see it as another move of Yah. If you say Sonship, people raise eyebrows and grunt. As in YahShua's time religious persons, leaders and elders refused to believe that Yah sent His Son. Well, He is going to do it again. A virgin, taken out of a man made religion and untouched by man, is in the wilderness with child and travailing to give birth. Yah will again incarnate Himself in a people.

When YahShua was about to die upon the cross He said, "It is accomplished". All that He had been trying for three and a half years to teach the disciples was now brought to a conclusion. In the same way what the early Apostles tried to teach was accomplished and they died.

The foundation teachings were established and it was time to build upon them. Unfortunately, that did not happen. Two thousand years later and we are still hearing the same elementary teachings of the first Church Age.

So, Yah has called the overcomers out of the churches and into the wilderness alone with Him. Yah wants to bring His people up into a higher realm of existence for He desires a relationship with them. This is not possible in the Religious System, for religious ritual and babbling has drowned the voice of the Spirit out. The "Religious Spirit" blinds people to the truth of Yah. We must overcome the Harlot Religious Spirit, mark of the beast, and come out where the refining goes on. The Tent of Meeting, Tabernacle, “IS” outside the camp, walls of churches and denominations. The sacrifices were burned outside the camp. We put on Yah's righteousness in a place that is ceremonially clean outside the camp. There is no religious ceremony out here.

ETERNAL JUDGEMENT

Eternal Judgment is an elementary teaching although most churches make it a big issue. They teach hell fire is the eternal judgment for sinners. First, hell is not eternal according to the Bible. Now I know this is unorthodox, but read it. If hell is eternal then why does it say we can escape it, "Heaven is above to the wise that them be brought out of the hell beneath". No, this is not talking about getting out of it now before you get there, it says "brought out of the hell beneath", already there. Hell is not a place in the center of the earth where you burn forever, which is carnal thinking. Hell is being away from the presence of Yah now while you are alive and can be tormented. Hell is the grave and if you are not saved after death you know nothing

Why, because you must have the Son to have life, ...any kind of life, for "those that have Messiah has life and those who have not Messiah have not life". This is pretty final. Only a human mind without understanding of Yah could conger up such a place as the hell the church teaches. The judgment of the Bible is everlasting, permanent and eternal. Death is permanent to those who have not embraced the work of the cross.

Great emotional charged sermons are preached about such as:

The rapture of the Church

Armageddon

White Throne Judgment

The end of the world

The theme of most services these days is get ready to meet YahShua when he comes or before the judgment comes. They are so interested in "rapturing out" or escaping that they do not get the people ready to live spiritually and understand spiritual things.

Instead of instructing their people in how to be overcomes and helping them to mature, they keep them weak and depending upon them for the milk of the word. And even that is watered down with church doctrines, religious ideas, and man's understanding. They love to control and manipulate lives: stand up; raise your hands; open your song book; testify; sit down; praise the lord; pay your ties; given in the offering; buy this book or that tape.

If you are born again you should spend your time here on earth maturing in spiritual matters so that when the final judgment comes you will not have to stand in it at all. It is foolish to waste time on things that are not relevant to your spiritual growth. There are so many vital, spiritual, things you need to be learning through revelation knowledge. The most important thing is to have a revelation of the Father. This revelation is a true experience and brings you into SONSHIP.

DOOR TO THE FATHER

In the churches of today you hear plenty about Jesus, but you hear very little about Yah. This is immaturity! It is Jesus this and Jesus that, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, opposite of what YahShua Himself taught. Let me say here that YahShua never glorified Himself. Nor did He intend for man to emphasize Him. YahShua always pointed men to Yah, not Himself. He kept saying, worship the Father, I came that you might see the Father, the Father. He came to make it possible for man to have a relationship with Yah through His sacrifice.

He is our elder brother and we love and honor Him. He is the only one that could make it possible for us to know Yah. Our eyes and focus are to be upon Yah the Father for that is the true purpose of YahShua. Yah became flesh in the body as YahShua so He could bring us from the flesh, earth realm, to the spiritual realm. We are to go from being sons of Adam to sons of Yah so we can dwell with Him in the heavenly sphere where Yah Himself abides.

YahShua spent three and a half years showing us our Father Yah. He is the door to the Father. Yah inspired men to write down for us the things that YahShua said so we too could see the Father. Now here is a sad truth. YahShua said, "If you really knew Me, you would know My Father as well". He was speaking to the disciples, but He might as well been speaking to the church today. If you listen to men talk a moment you discover that they only know Jesus, a myth, not YahShua the Son of Yah nor Yah the Father.

"Awake, from your drunken stupor and return, to sober sense and your right , spiritual, minds, and sin no more. For some of you have not the knowledge of Yah. You are utterly and willfully and disgracefully ignorant, and continue to be so, lacking the sense of Yah's purpose and all true knowledge of Him. I say this to your shame". Amplafied Bible, 1 Cor. 15:34

Phillip lived with YahShua, ate with Him, listened to Him preach, seen the miracles and yet he said, "Show us the Father..." This must have shocked and hurt YahShua for He replied, "Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father, how can you say, show us the Father. ...It is the Father living in Me who is doing HIS work."

But alas, as the disciples of old, you do not understand YahShua any better than you understand Yah. The church is still teaching Jesus, a myth, His deeds, miracles and parables. They still have Him a child in a manger, a miracle worker or a Man on a cross. YahShua is none of those, He is the Son of Yah and has gone on before us into the presence of the Father and as true disciples we must follow.

REVELATION KNOWLEDGE

One day YahShua asked His disciples who they thought He was and Peter said, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim." To this YahShua replied, "...This was not revealed to you by man, but by My Father in heaven. Then He tells Peter who he, Peter, is. Why did he do that? Did Peter forget who he was? No, YahShua was telling Peter that by revelation he had became a foundation stone. "...upon this rock , revelation knowledge, I will build my church."

Upon the foundation stone of revealed knowledge from Yah he would build "HIS" church. Those in the Church System will tell you the church is built upon Peter's confession but that is not what YahShua said. It was upon revealed knowledge from Yah that the church was to be built.

After the Holy Spirit came He began to bring back to their memory the things YahShua taught the disciples, and reveal the spiritual truths hidden in them. The Spirit gives us revelations of Yah the Father and shows us His wisdom and insight into His plan. This is called Divine Revelation Knowledge. You can not learn it in a seminar or be taught it by man. It comes from the Holy Spirit and Him only.

We need no man to teach us for the Spirit will teach us all things. And gives us words to speak in due seasons.

Yah sends a warning to teachers and ministers, "Woe to you experts in the law, Bible, because you have taken away the key, spiritual understanding, to, revelation knowledge. "You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering".

You can tell, as I have done here, what you receive by revelation but unless the Holy Spirit makes words alive to the hearer it will not bring understanding. The church world is so self-righteous that they think if one of their own is not given the message then it is not from Yah. You may have credentials with an organization to minister but that means nothing to Yah. He laughs in the face of your man made religion. You preach a dead message from the dead letter of the law just like the religious order in YahShua time. Yah is going to destroy it just as he did Judaism.

Here is a revelation for you, "Yah is not calling people into the ministry these day, He is calling them out of it." Go and learn what that means!

Here is my prayer for you. "...That the Elohim of our Lord YahShua Messiah, the glorious Father, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened..."

Come out into the wilderness and you will find the true Tabernacle of Yah. We bear the same disgrace YahShua bore, being called devils or in error. If that is what the religious leaders thought about YahShua, no wonder they think that about we who have come out today. We are bearing our cross while we are being spit upon and ridiculed by those who look on.

Yah has a people out in the wilderness right, outside the walled cities of denominations. The old man of earth is dying, dying to self and to religious ways. We are being led by the Spirit and are learning to be spirit beings and soon we will be manifested to the world.

You must have a revelation of the Father and be led by the Spirit to be sons of Yah. "Blesses are the pure in heart, purged from manmade religion, for they shall see Yah. Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called sons of Yah."

Let us build a spiritual house unto the Lord our Yah. A glorious temple not made with hands, man’s ideas, teachings and doctrine. The Apostles have set the foundation, but we are to be built up into a house unto the Lord thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

"I pray that the eyes of your heart might be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which you are called, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints..." Yes, Yah has an inheritance in us. He has paid the dear price of His Son's holy blood for this house and invested His Holy Spirit in it. "...In order that in the coming age He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in through Messiah YahShua".

After the Israelites were released from the bondage of Babylon and went back to Israel, they build again the foundation of the Lord's house and they celebrated. Then they began to build their own houses, lavishly sealed with beautifully carved wooden door posts and cleverly designed eves and never built the Lord’s house any further. The Church System has done the same thing.

Here then the Words of the Lord, for it is for today as it was then. "This is what the Lord Elohim says: Give careful thought to your ways. Go up into the mountains, where Yah dwells, and bring down timber, spiritual truths and Yahly attributes, and build the house , your spiritual life, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored.

Then He says, "You expect much, but see, it turns out to be little. Why? Because of My house which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with his own house. Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew, blessing, and the earth its crops , love, peace, joy and kindness".

Hear it people. This is what the Lord says to you, "I called for a drought, of the true Word of Yah, on the fields , congregations, and the mountains, denominations, on the grain, your life, the new wine , moving of the Holy Spirit, the oil, anointing, and whatever the ground produces, righteousness, on men , ministers, and cattle, humanity, and on the labor of your hands, religious acts, rituals and formulas." Men and ministries are so busy building their own houses and kingdoms that their spiritual house lays in ruin.

Yah has a wonderful plan and He is not about to let a perverse Religious System make the blood of YahShua of non-effect. A remnant has heard the voice of the Spirit to come apart and hear Him. “This is what the sovereign Lord says, See, I lay a stone in Zion,, a spiritual kingdom, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; The one who trusts will never be dismayed. I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line; Hail , the hard Word of Yah, will sweep away your refuge,, denominations, the lie,, religious spirit, and water , Word of the Lord, will overflow your hiding place. Your covenant with death will be annulled; your agreement with the grave will not stand."

Judgment is coming and has started at the house of the Lord. Hear the Word of Yah. "I will once more shake, move out of their place, the heavens , religious authority, and the earth , self life, the sea, congregations and the dry land , humanity. I will shake the nations , denominations... The results of all this is that, "the desire of all nations will come, and I will fill this house, Yah’s Temple with glory. The silver , salvation, is mine and the gold , yahlikeness, is mine declares the Lord Elohim. The glory of this present house will be greater then the former house. The present house is not seen now, but will shortly be manifest to the world.
