Foot Washing

One of the great stories in the Bible occurred when Jesus washed the feet of the disciples. As he was washing their feet He said,

“What I do now you will not understand, but there will come a time when you will understand.” Peter said, “Lord you shall not wash my feet.” Jesus said, “If I do not wash your feet you have no part with me.” Peter then said, “Then not my feet only, but my hands and my head.” Jesus said. “He who has bathed need only to wash his feet, but is completely clean” Jn 13:

There are churches today that have foot washing services in memory of this event. I don’t think this is a wrong thing to do, but do they really know what Jesus was trying to say?

Since He says, “he who has bathed is completely clean then why would they have no part with Him if their feet were dirty?

The living metaphor of the foot washing is a grand picture of the predicament of a person who believes in Christ. This was a picture that Jesus wanted to be indelibly printed on the psyche of the disciples, and one which we should have photo-transitioned in own as well.

In these perilous times as we watch the dollar cascade down, jobs vanish, home values rapidly decline, and the polarity between conservative and liberal polarize creating a chasm of grand canyon dimension, our feet, as we walk through this life, can become clotted with filth. We hardly notice the clods of dirt that accumulate in our walk as we go about our days. Our language becomes compromised, our decisions are tainted, and our attitude towards those who are on the opposite side of our views becomes darkened.

Our feet are sullied by this life, because we have to walk in it. We are still humans, and as a result the world affects our fellowship with God.

Hence we need a foot washing. Not only do we need Jesus to wash our feet, unless He does, we have no part with Him, and in addition we cannot help those whose feet have become likewise affected by just living. We are called to wash one another’s feet. The meaning is of course, (without a condescending attitude) includes not forgetting that our own walk also gets sullied

We are called to put our walk (our feet) in the hands of Christ, so that we can be cleansed. It is amazing what a few moments in the Word can do. It washes our feet, hence how we walk. Once are feet are cleaned we are restored to being fully cleansed, and can then affectively serve others. Are you feet clean?

“He who has bathed need only to wash his feet, but is completely clean” Jn 13:

We are the sons of God.

Lord teach me to number my days so that I might present to thee a heart of wisdom.

Have you ever counted how many days there are in a full life. The average life today is 70 years; that is 25,500 days. When you break it down that isn’t very many days? As you get older the days become less and less. I have lived about 22,000 of them.

If we do not have a life after this life then the acquisition of wisdom is vanity.

People often say, if only I had these smarts I’ve acquired over the course of my life and could have been able to apply them when I was young. Yes, we dream about what we could have done in the past now that we know what we know.

But what do we know…what kind of heart do we have that God will be impressed with? The number of days we are allotted should not be the focus, since we cannot add one cubit to our stature (length of days) but rather the focus of our days should be set upon the accumulation of wisdom.

What then is wisdom, so that we may acquire it as we live out our days, and then when we pass from this mortal life we might be able to present what we have accumulated unto the Lord?

The beginning of wisdom is to fear the Lord ( fear, or reverence is a better handle on the meaning of the fear of the Lord). Do you allow the reverence of the Lord to monitor what you allow into your heart? The world has no fear of God. How long has it been since you stopped to think about this?

I don’t know about you, but I need to have more reverence before the Lord.

If the kingdom of heaven is indeed within, then what is it we allow into our kingdom? We are the gate keepers to our heart and what we allow in determines what our heart will or can or should be. Will it be a heart of wisdom? Life is short. The Lord is at hand.

Lord teach me to number my days that I might present to thee a heart of wisdom.

Dear Friends,

One of the great doctrines out there and for some time has been the teachings of “the last days.” We have a movement today, where there has even been an institution set up to maintain and defend this viewpoint.

But just as sound bites are statements taken out of context and photo-ops utilized to exaggerate a point of view, so are there bible teaches who lift scripture out of context to try to substantiate their point of view. “Sound bite” theology is just as egregious as the news commentators that twist, skew, and spin the news.

But where does it come from where folks come up with that these are “the last days.” The answer is in Hebrews 1. Here is what the text says in most all, if not all modern translations.

“God, which in sundry times and in various ways spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son. Hebrews 1:1.

Go read it. There it is; these last days. We tend to think of a day as a 24 hour period.

People point this out, “Here it is,” they say… “These are the last days.”

But how could it mean “the last days” as we understand and apply the term if at the time of the writing of Hebrews, the first century, those days then were considered “the last days.” The last days are certainly are a long last days since it has been almost 2000 years of last days, since the time of the writing when it was first used. When will the last days finally end?

Those that stand hard and fast on “the last days” application to a now time frame struggle when you bring up this point; that the last days must have started in the first century.

Here is something to think about concerning translations. The book of Hebrews was originally written in Hebrew not Greek. So the term “last days” would have been rendered the “last Yom(s).” “Yom” was the Hebrew word for day. If you interpret the world Yom you would find that the term most accurately used in Gen 1, is to be understood as “Age” and not a 24 hour day.

So, check this out from a Hebrew point of view.

“God, which in sundry times and in various ways spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last YOMS spoken to us by His Son. Hebrews 1:1.

So, not to insult your intelligence, but just to be clear, the translations should then be in these “last age(s).” Just thought you’d like to think about this.

Is the Light that is in you Darkness?

In these days with television and the internet is it not a mere stumbling and drifting off the pathway to focus, and place ones eyes on many things and not stop to consider deeply what is being allowed in?

The latest scandal(s) broadcast on Fox News is shocking to the bones and we shutter and shake at the darkness. The salacious news is sifted and drudged to the depths of the bottomless pit. But it is only the outer world, the subduction zone, the convolution, that we recoil at. This isn’t to say we should ignore it, but it should not be the focus of our peace.

“Peace I give unto you, peace I leave with you, not as the world (the subduction zone, the convolution) gives, do I give unto you. Jn 15:

We must come truly come to grips with the fact that we live in a “fallen world.”

In the subduction zone “the peoples will roar and consider a vain thing(s). The nations will go to war, and neighbor shall rise up against neighbor; father against son and mother against daughter. Thus shall it be till the end.

The vanity of mankind due to his focus on the outer world, errantly assumes that it is politics that can fix the “subduction zone.”

My friends the best we can do politically is to slow the process of deterioration, and so we should, for we are salt, but only to a degree.

But if we are consumed (overly focused) by the world due to our intentful gaze on this “subduction zone” than the light that is in us will become darkness. And here is what we are warned to beware of….

Hear what is said by the Master:

“The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when you eye is good the whole body is filled with light. but when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness…and then….”if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness.”

Therefore, TAKE HEED, that the light that is in you is not darkness. If than your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light as when the bright shinning of a lamp gives you light.

Then …. “In the world (the subduction zone) you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer ..I have overcome the world.”JN 16:33

I wish I could say that I have mastered not getting incensed and allowing anger to control me due to the corruption in the world, but I have to battle to keep my eye single, so that I maintain my balance and keep my eye focused. This is the conundrum of all who endeavor to walk in the light. My friends be careful that eye stays in the light.

How do you know if you overly focused? Examine and check out your conversation. Is your conversation weighted on earth or in heaven?

The Kingdom of Heaven is within,

Laying the Axe to the Root

“If you do not lay the axe to the root you will always be dealing with symptoms”.

Some of the bigger shows on TV these days deal with obesity; “The biggest Looser” “The half ton Teenager” are few that come to mind. If you’re like me it is hard to look away. I mean it is almost like looking at cartoons; surreal. How do these people get so far out of hand? And then it’s almost everywhere. People are simply way too heavy.

But the knee jerk ideas men come up with in dealing with the epidemic seem only to deal with the symptoms of the problem.

Some of the solutions are massive workouts schedules or some kind of gastro intestinal surgery, or for most of us it is to go on a diet. And then, currently we are faced with health care reform as a cure all solution. But at the root of the health care dilemma is the issue of obesity. There are so many people, whose ill- health stems from obesity, that the numbers and percentages are staggering. While there are other mitigating factors resident in the health care debate the issue of obesity lies dormant in the national discourse.

But do these purported ideas and solutions ever get to the root cause of the problem with obesity. Nevertheless, we go to war with one another over methods and never arrive at the correct message.

The truth be known the actual cause of obesity is rooted in poor nutrition, but for some strange reason we simply do not look there. This is a sad commentary on how and what men do to deal with problems in general, but they never seem to “lay the axe to the root.”

The nutritionally depleted soils, processed foods and diets we get hooked on, then reinforced by massive TV, magazine, and media campaigns which deceive our minds, ultimately end up robbing our bodies of proper nutrition, and then our very health. Our body which has its own mind tells our brain we need more food, seeking to make up for the nutritional discrepancies non-resident in our food supply. Then it becomes a vicious cycle that promulgates weight gain and then obesity. Two thirds of Americans are obese. What we are witnessing; today, in our present culture, is a massive delusional state of mind. The evidence is everywhere you see people.

With this propensity for delusion so rampant, and so easily seen and evidenced in the overweight populace, isn’t it fair to ask the question, what else may we be living that might be and tendeth unto a lie? So then, please think on this pervasive issue in our society as a metaphor; which signals us to the possibility of other inherent delusions, and then use it as a guidance system to examine all excessiveness. Let us learn together how to lay the axe to the root.

Taking Heed

One of the more obscure passages of the Revelation of John is in Rev. 17:15-17

“Then he said to me the “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples multitudes nations and tongues. And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the Harlot, make her desolate and naked eat her flesh and burn her with fire, for God has put into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled, and the women who you saw is the great city over the kings of the earth.” Rev 15-17 (note: the great city is not a literal city, but rather ancient Nimrod’s Babylon the system of which has filled the whole earth)

In light of recent events we have just observed a pre-cursor to the ancient Biblical prediction that there would come a time when “The Beast would overthrow the Harlot”

If you have been following along with our proceedings in the Luciferian Codes and/or the films,“ In the Shadow of Babylon” (the great whore/harlot), and “Cracking the Prophetic Code, a revelation of the United States in prophecy, then you would have constructed in your mind a foundation for the understanding of the interpretation of the above scripture. If you have done that, perhaps you have jumped ahead of the class making the connection of recent current events with apocalyptic writing/revelation. If not you have some catching up to do.

Apocalyptic writing is a code in symbolic form. The women or harlot or whore in Revelation is a depiction of a system of commerce and religion. These two sectors of the world’s activities are dominant mind control systems. For what is more controlling over the human race than religion and money (commerce)? They are whores, or combined, represented by the great whore of Revelation. The beast on the other hand is a symbolic representation of all the world’s empires, beginning with Egypt down through our present time. (For a full explanation you must get our films and also the Luciferian Codes CD’s)

The point is, in Rev. 17, the beast will over-throw the harlot ; symbolically speaking.
