We are advancing closer still to the “8th Step”
What is the 8th step? It is the filling with the Spirit of God, the stream of the resurrection life of Yashuah through us! Eating from the Tree of Life (Gen 2: 9,16). Therefore the cherubim (angels) with flaming swords are no longer there to guard the entrance to the Tree of Life (Gen 3:24). As intercessors – or priests – we are busy climbing step-by-step in the courtyard of the house of the Lord, as Ezekiel 40:37 reads: “Its gateposts faced the outer court, palm trees were on its gateposts on this side and on that side, and going up to it were eight steps.” We already know that the Old Testament contains shadow images or shadows of New Testament things. Read Col 2:17 and Heb 10: 1. It is therefore not just a history book but a book full of “Living Words” and warnings to us upon whom the ends of the ages have come: “Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.” (1 Cor 10:11).
Something New. If you have then looked up the Scriptures I have mentioned above, you will notice that from the Old Testament you can expect crucial words from your Father in heaven – words that in these days will carry you through this time of need and distress coming over our country South Africa. This applies to words for the man as well as for the woman. I hope you have already read the Scriptures, and that you are not going to follow the bad habit of lazy people by only reading these “12 Chapters”, which I sit and write from 3 o’clock in the morning—for your spiritual preservation!—without looking up the Scriptures. I want to mention it again, that in many places I only quote the Scripture reference and do not write out the Scriptures, in order to save time and work. Typing is a big job for me, who has no training in that field. My daily task consists of many things and I must, on top of it all, get this word out to you, as per the instruction my Father gave me. So I politely ask you: Help me by just looking up and reading the Scriptures, then I do not have to spoon-feed it to you! I say this in a spirit of God’s love!
The word we read in Ezekiel 40-48 regarding the division of the land of Israel and the house of the Lord therein, fills us with an expectation of something new in the future. Yahweh said that He was going to do something new: “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” (Isa. 43: 18-19). This “new thing” also includes a special word for the women: “How long will you waver, o faithless daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth: a woman protects a man.” (Jer 31:22).
I will only write at the end of this chapter on this wonderful subject, namely “The place of women in the plan of God on earth”.
In these days where we are tired and weary of news of corruption, murder, rape, burglary, carjacking, land grabbing – robbery of people’s farms and houses… and whatever else – the true child of God will raise his eyes to his Father and seek His face! If we set our eyes on the waves, we will sink like Peter did (Matt. 14: 24-33)! In the book of Revelation, Yashuah says, “Behold, I make all things new” (Revelation 21: 5). Does it not give you courage? But you are probably asking how, in the midst of this state of emergency, you are going to arrive at the “something new”? You will have to walk the path to the “something new”. But first you must get to know the path – or Way – so that Yashuah can say to you: “and the way you know… I am the Way…” (John 14: 4-6). This is a new way. Now read Hebrews 10: 19-24.
If you truly came to know Yashuah Messiah as your Saviour and Redeemer, you have already come upon the Way. For that we praise and thank Him. But to walk the path further we come upon a new part of the way – or path – that we have not walked before. You can therefore declare that you are on the path, but how far have you advanced on the path? For example, you could say that you are on your way to the Cape, yet all the while remain stationary here on the road exiting the town of Volksrust – with another 1600 km lying ahead!
51. Let us enter with a true heart.
When the veil was torn during Yashuah’s crucifixion, the new and living way into which we must now enter was opened! First read Hebrews 10: 19-25. Wonderful right? Let us try for a moment to turn our eyes away from the abominations that are taking place around us, and look “unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Heb. 12: 2). Let us then read again Heb 10: 19-23: “Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”
When it comes to entering the new and living way, there are important things to consider:
1. Boldness
First, as I said above, we must have the boldness to enter into the new and living way (Heb. 10: 19-20). We can obtain this only through the blood of Yashuah (Heb 10:19). If you would think that it is not that important to have the boldness to enter into the new and living way, think again when you have finished reading the following: “Therefore do not cast away your confidence (boldness), which has great reward” (Heb 10:35). Do you also hope to one day receive a great reward from Yashuah? Then you need boldness (confidence) to enter into His holy place on the new and living way. Note: The new and living way leads to the holy place of God. If you read Hebrews 9:24 you will notice that it is a heavenly holy place. The question is, can we enter that holy place while we are still living here on earth? I’ve written about it somewhere before, but I cannot remember where. Please do forgive me.
As you try to enter this new and living way that leads to the heavenly holy place, you may be reluctant to do so because Satan will accuse you of some transgression of the law (Zech. 3: 1-2) —this is something that you did wrong according to someone’s laws or rules. The blood of Yashuah will have to deal with your conscience otherwise you will never enter the holy place! Read Hebrews 9: 9,14.
Your inability to keep the law constantly makes you feel guilty and it deprives you of boldness. When I refer to the Law, I am also logically referring to your own efforts to please God. A man says to me: I try to do right but I am unable to get it right. Paul was sitting with the same problem as you. Read Romans 7: 19-21. To keep on trying won’t get you anywhere. You need to trust in Yashuah who lives in you. As the saying goes: “Don’t try but trust”. The blood cleanses you from a bad conscience arising from your failed attempts (Heb 9: 9,14). Through the blood alone you can enter the new and living way with boldness (Heb 10:19) – not through keeping the law or your own efforts. Remember Yashuah says, “…for without Me you can do nothing.” (John 15: 5). But if I am willing to do His will, because I love Him (John 14:15) —even delight to do His will (Ps 40: 8), then He will work in me to will and to do to His good pleasure: “for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” (Phil 2:13).
What a great privilege to be able to now already enter the new and living way into the heavens with Christ — or rather in Him — and together sit in His presence. Read again Heb 12: 18-24; Ephesians 2: 4-6. You may not feel like such a word right now, because daily the news only predicts misfortune for the Whites in this country. If the Democrats in the USA won the election now, a great deal of trust, which many whites in South Africa had in Donald Trump that he would send help to us, would be lost. And because our trust is in the arm of the flesh, it may happen that the Democrats will win the election. This will land America in a strong grip of the forces of darkness like never before. It will also weaken the hands of the more Right-wing nations in the world compared to the more left-wing elements that will progressively take over the world. This is but my personal opinion and I do not declare it as a Word of God — as Paul also says in 1 Cor 7:12.
But the Scriptures clearly say that now we are going to experience hard times, in these last days. Therefore, my advice to you is: Seek the face of the Lord NOW so you can know Him in the power of His resurrection, that you may experience His love and grace. Also that you will live close to Him, every day! That you do not, when it becomes dark over this world, suddenly then want to go and seek Him (Jer 13:16). It might be too late then! (Matthew 25: 5-13). Yet there is a Scripture in Joel 2: 13-14 which says, “So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness; and He relents from doing harm. Who knows if He will turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind Him— A grain offering and a drink offering. For the Lord your God?”. But if you procrastinate until that day and reassure yourself that you will then beg Him for mercy that day, you might stand ashamed!
God did relent in some cases when He saw the great need of His elect, and then He would turn the disaster away (Amos 7: 1-9; Jonah 3:10). But then there are the cases where He says, “I, the Lord, have spoken it; it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not hold back, nor will I spare, nor will I relent; according to your ways and according to your deeds they will judge you,” says the Lord God.” (Ezek. 24:14). Rather listen to the word in 2 Cor 6: 2: “For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” In earlier years, I had an employer who had a sign on his desk that read, “DO IT NOW.” Hebrews 3: 7 also says, “Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: ‘Today, if you will hear His voice’, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness.” That is why we obey the command of our Father now when He said, “Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation is past.” (Isa. 26:20). Many believers received this Word with the announcement of the Lockdown.
There are more things to consider when entering into the new and living way — important things:
2. The blood of Jashuah
You can only enter through the blood of Yashuah (Heb 10:19). The blood He shed on the cross was His blood, and also ours, because He identified with us in our sinful state. He identified with you and me, thus becoming “I” —being a sinner — even though He knew no sin (Heb 4:15; 2 Cor 5:21). God made Yashuah “…to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” And this while He “knew no sin” (2 Cor 5:21). Would you perhaps, like me, dwell on this Scripture text and ponder and meditate on it? Then you should not let the constant Whatsapps and cell phone messages and snippets of news distract you. You have to walk away from the company of people a bit, and go to one side to meditate. Last night I was meditating on meditation. That sounds funny right? But we really need time to meditate on the whole matter of God on this earth — not a carnal meditation but in the Spirit. We must meditate on God’s promises, and even more so we must meditate on Him and His Son Yashuah as He sits at the right hand of His Father to intercede for us (Heb 7:25). Try to go to bed earlier so that you can meditate in the early hours of the morning in silence, when the other people are still asleep, on our Father’s wonderful path to His sanctuary: “by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh.” (Heb 10:20).
This road leads to the safest place, the Rock where you can take refuge (Ps 18: 2). It is the place with Him on the Rock (Exodus 33:21). This is the Rock from which the living water flows (1 Cor 10: 4). Where Yashuah Himself is the sanctuary. Then you will be enabled by His Spirit to live Isaiah 8: 11-14 practically: “For the Lord spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying: “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’ concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. The Lord of hosts, Him you shall hallow;
Let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. He will be as a sanctuary, but a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, as a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem”.
The Whites in our country are preparing for a great flight when it becomes too much for them under the tribulation that is now on its way. I have no doubt at all that our Father can lead us to flee somewhere. But with whom are you fleeing? “…with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart” ? (2 Tim 2:22) Or with people who do not love you with God’s love? With people who are not filled with His Spirit so that they know His voice clearly (Rom 8:14); to a place He did not choose? Before this great flight takes place, you must make sure that you know His voice! Perhaps He wants to tell you what the prophet said to the king of Israel: “And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that you do not pass this place, for the Syrians are coming down here” (2 Kings 6: 9). Now read 2 Chronicles 25: 7-9 and decide for yourself whether you would rather be led by the counsel of people, or by God himself. Is God able to preserve you as you sit and wait on Him in your abode — if, of course, He gives you such a command — and experience how He fulfils His word for you in Psalm 91: 7 because you are trusting in Him with childlike simplicity: “A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.” Please read the whole Psalm. Also Psalm 23. But you must do it together with an earnest, fervent prayer that the Spirit of God will make it a Living Word for you!
3. Redeemed from your futile way (1 Pet 1: 18-19)
Just as the people, when they left Egypt, had to make certain preparations for the journey, there are certain things that you cannot / may not take with you on the new and living path. One of these is unforgiveness. You must first forgive all who have sinned against you or your people — forgive from the heart! Read Mark 11: 22-26: “So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. 25“And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.” If you have now told the Lord, and truly meant it, that you forgive all who have sinned against you — and may still sin against you — we can move on. By the way: If you say it with your mouth, even if you do not feel it, but you say it, and you believe it as Romans 10: 9-11 says, then God counts it for you unto righteousness. You then forgave wholeheartedly! Because you want to! But if you do not want to?
If you do not want to?
I was awakened by the Holy Spirit two mornings at 3 o’clock last week to pray and write. Because we had some leave this week, I wanted to rest. I got up but climbed back into my bed. I did not want to get up, nor did I want to say, as Paul did, “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection” (1 Cor 9:27). The next morning the same thing happened — I say it with shame. But the next morning I could not get up even though I wanted to! I cried from the pain and confessed to my Father, not just once. He said, “But I will rebuke you, and set them in order before your eyes” (Ps 50:21). If you are willing but weak like the disciples in Gethsemane, it is another matter: “The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matt. 26:41).If you are willing to seek God’s face but you are weak, He will, if you sincerely beseech Him, work in you “… to will and to do to His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13) and help you get up. So pray to Him that He will draw you into His holy place, before His face. But if you’re too lazy, like I was, it’s a bad thing. How ashamed I am now! Especially when I think about how Yashuah went to pray for me in deserted places at night! When His disciples lay and slept, He went to them three times where they were supposed to pray for Him, and He found them asleep (Matt. 26: 38-46). If I think about what great peril the people of God are in on this earth, and I sleep! The last few days I have been in pain, very severe pain, and I deserve it! God is good and faithful and just! I do not deserve His love! And He warned me last week because He is faithful. He forgave me but now punishes me properly. Then I am so thankful that He did not say to me, “Sleep on and rest” (verse 45) only to find someone else to send to the Gentiles. I’d rather not even think about it! But I have cried today and told my Father so many times how sorry I am. He forgave me but still has to punish me so I will not do it so easily again.
52. More about the blood of Jashuah.
Surely you have not forgotten that the Old Testament contains numerous “shadow images” through which God wants to clarify to us New Testament truths? To refresh your memory, you can read again Heb 9: 9; 10: 1; Col 2: 16-17; 1 Cor 10:11. Now first read Exod 12 — The entire Chapter. Do not skip anything, but read it carefully! Herein lies a great and very important Word for you:
You’ve read Exodus 12 now — the whole Chapter? You did not skip anything, but read it carefully and attentively? There are so many New Testament messages locked up in this passage for you and me! Keep your heart open for this, because you are going to need it now. Pay special attention to the role that the blood plays (Verses 7, 13) and also the importance of the leaven that may not be found in the camp (Verses 17-19; Exod 13: 3). Later in the New Testament, the Holy Spirit refers to leaven, which is a type of “…malice and wickedness…” (1 Cor 5: 6-8). In Galatians 5: 9, it refers to the efforts of law-abiding people to bring about the law — people’s own efforts to please God through works. We will write more about this later. But now first about the blood of Yashuah and the indescribable power of God located in the blood of Yashuah.
If another political party comes to power in the United States, namely the Democrats, we will find that the enemies of the Truth — and especially the truth about the blood of Yashuah — will gain much courage. Most Democrats are unbelievers in Christ. Their leaders support the Liberal movements in the world and despise the Christ we love. Just as another king, who did not know Joseph, arose in Egypt (Exod. 1: 8-13). Democracy leaves the decisions in the world in the hands of the masses in every country. If the masses had served God, Democracy would have been a wonderful ideology, but now that is not the case: Democracy believes that every human being — whether wicked or righteous, has the right to vote for the government of that country. And if the wicked have multiplied fast enough that the majority numbers at the polls are in their favour, the wicked rule that country! Before the righteous man can blink twice, the wicked decides for him. This unfortunate event has taken place all over the world and the Scripture that says, “…the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one” (1 John 5:19) has long been fulfilled. They hate the blood of Yashuah and mock it! The victory over this world and its ruler — Satan — can only be achieved through the blood of Yashuah: “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” (Rev. 12:11). By the way: Everyone who embraces the Rapture theory should ask themselves the question: “Is it not perhaps because I love my own life that I want to be snatched away before my life is endangered”?
On the 3rd day after Yashuah’s crucifixion, when He was resurrected, He first appeared to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had earlier cast out seven demons: “Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.” (Mark 16: 9). He appeared to her even before He, as High Priest, went to present His blood to His Father so that the Father could approve and accept His redemptive work on the Cross. Therefore, she was not allowed to touch Him. This precious event, which only this woman could experience (John 20: 11-18), was a work that only Christ as High Priest could do — without human intervention. He did the work that the high priest in the Old Testament did once a year to atone for the sins of the people (Heb 2:17; Heb 9: 7-12), for all of us, once and for all. Because it was a perfect work, He never had to do it again. And you and I never have to do it again either. Through this one sacrifice He has cleansed and sanctified us forever (Heb 10: 10-14). Please note: I would very much like for you to read Hebrews chapters 9 and 10 in full. It would be even better if you could read the entire book of Hebrews. But, maybe you do not have time for that…?
Back now to what happened to the wicked woman, Mary Magdalene, full of evil spirits. She loved Yashuah so much because her sins were many. Was she perhaps the woman we read about in Luke 7: 36-50? If not, the same words of Yashuah certainly apply to her as well: “Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.” (verse 47).
When the high priest in the Old Testament entered the Holy of Holies once a year, he was not allowed to enter without blood — the blood of a pure animal. It was an image of the Perfect that was yet to come in Christ. Yashuah did not enter into an imperfect earthly holy place, built by the hands of men, but into a perfect one, that is a heavenly (Heb 9:24). Nor with the blood of animals but with His own blood (Heb 9: 11-14). At that stage of the high priest’s work, no other man may have been with him. He first had to offer a sacrifice to cleanse himself, and then enter into the Holy of Holies with blood (from an animal). If his sacrifice were not accepted by God, he would die and be dragged out of the Holy of Holies by the other priests with a rope tied to him for this purpose. Mary Magdalene was therefore not allowed to touch Yashuah while He was on His way to His Father with His own blood (John 20:17). When He finished this work, and the Father accepted His blood, the people could touch Him — yes, to this day! (Verse 27). But, do you know the power that is locked up in the blood of Yashuah? The day it is revealed to you by the Holy Spirit, a new world of victory will open for you! Start praying for it now and your Father will, in His great love and grace, reveal it to you.
Here follow a few truths regarding the blood of Yashuah:
Firstly, we are reconciled with God through the blood of Yashuah. “whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” (Rom 3:25-26).
Our sins are forgiven for the sake of Yashuah’s blood (Matt. 26: 28). All throughout the Old Testament no forgiveness of sins could take place without blood being shed (Heb 9:22) —the imperfect blood of animals that only covered up the sins until the perfect sacrifice, namely Yashuah, would come and shed His blood for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2: 2). His blood not only covers up our sins, like the blood of the animals in the Old Testament, no, it washes our sins away! Then we are whiter than snow!
Then, we are also cleansed by His blood as 1 John 1: 7 says: “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 Peter 1:15-19: “but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in, all your conduct 16because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” 17And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; 18knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 20He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you.”
We are also sanctified by His blood: Heb 13:12 “Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.”
It is so important that it will be revealed in your spirit by the Holy Spirit, that you have already been cleansed and sanctified by the blood of Yashuah — CLEANSED and SANCTIFIED once and for all.
To explain why God requires blood in order to forgive sins is a difficult task. But accept it as an ordinance of God. “When He avenges blood, He remembers them” (Psalm 9:12). In 1 John 1: 7 He declares that the blood of Yashuah cleanses us from all sin. Here follows a case that can shed light on this issue:
There is—even in the New Testament where the gospel was preached to the Gentiles—a ban on the eating of blood (Acts 15: 29). Leviticus 17: 10-16 explains why we are not allowed to eat blood: “for it is the life of all flesh. Its blood sustains its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, ‘You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood…” We almost all still eat blood because at the butchers where we buy meat there is blood in the meat. Everyone except Muslims and Jews eats blood — so they believe. But I still pay attention to this and talk to my Father about it because I want to please Him in everything. Pray about it and read Lev: 17:10-16 again. Also read Acts 15: 20-29 again. As you read this, you will realize that the prohibition on eating blood is not only an Old Testament law, but also one of a very few precepts in the New Testament to the Gentile believers.
53. The fullness of the Gentiles.
By the way: Speaking of Gentiles, the fullness of the Gentiles will first have to enter the kingdom of Yashuah, before His glory can be poured out over Judah. So says Romans 11: 25. This is also a calling and ministry for which the Father has called me, namely to bring the gospel to the Gentiles. You will immediately ask me, “But who exactly are the Gentiles then?” There are many views regarding who the descendants of Israel are today. And who is Judah? And then: Who are the Gentiles? It is a very important thing to pray about — if the Spirit would guide you in this way. But perhaps it is more important to earnestly start praying that the fullness of the Gentiles will enter through God’s door of grace. This is an urgent matter that we must pray about now, because in Romans 9: 28 He says that He is in a hurry: “For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.” Yashuah already said in Luke 12: 49 that He wishes that the fire, which He will be casting upon the earth, had already been kindled. He thereby indicates that He is in a hurry to get things finalised. Therefore He is also in a hurry to bring the gospel to the Gentiles so that anyone who wants to, can enter into His kingdom and become part of the people He looked forward to take out of the Gentiles for His Name (Acts 15: 14). God knows how close to my heart this matter lies. I am already getting ready to leave for India as soon as the ban on flights to there is lifted. This is a matter that my Father has been talking to me about for many months now, and I would be glad if you would pray equally earnestly for us, for the removal of all obstacles.
You may also not take any leaven with you on this journey. With the exodus from Egypt, there was a very important warning from God that they should not take any leaven with them on their exodus. They were not allowed to have any leaven with them in their tents either. Read Exodus 12: 15-20 again.
In the days of Yashuah, He strictly warned His disciples against the leaven of the Pharisees. He said it was “hypocrisy” (Luke 12: 1). But in Matthew He says that the leaven is the teaching of the Pharisees. They were teachers of the law of Moses (1 Tim 1: 7). Read 1Cor 5: 6-8. He says here that the old leaven — the leaven of malice and wickedness — must be purged so that we can be a new lump, “… For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.” Just as the kingdom of God works quietly and unnoticed like leaven (Luke 13:21), similarly Satan’s kingdom also works quietly like leaven: You still remember that the meaning of the word “Law” according to the dictionary is: “A rule according to which a force works”.
Any rules by which you would attempt to please God, are not acceptable to God. Why is this unacceptable to God? Because He knows that no one can keep that law. There is nothing wrong with the law (Rom 7:12). But our inability to keep it is the problem. It is not doable and therefore He sent His Son to come and fulfil it (Do) on our behalf. Yes, even all attempts to keep the law of Moses, that was given by God, are not acceptable to God because of the weakness and inability of us as humans (Rom. 8: 3). If you then, after Him sending His Son to fulfil the law on our behalf, continue to strive to fulfil it in your own power, you are blaspheming against Yashuah. You make God a liar in what He said, namely that no one can keep the law. You now want to show that you can keep it! And consequently Christ’s death was then unnecessary! Note: The law did not lapse — it was fulfilled in Christ (Matt. 5:17).
The Law was given only so that we could know what sin is (Rom 7: 7) and what the character of God entails, because the law shows us how holy God is.
The purpose of the law was also to show us that we cannot keep it (Gal. 2:16). Here you just have to read Gal 3! Please! In this you will see that God through the law actually tutored you towards Christ (Verse 24). The law has shown us that there is no man who can please God through any law — including his own laws. Only Christ could please God because He was sinless and therefore the perfect fulfiller of the law on our behalf. Therefore He, and He alone, is our righteousness (1 Cor 1:30). His resurrection life in us and through us alone can please God (Matt. 3:17). This resurrection life takes effect when you accept that you are dead for your efforts to keep the law. After all, a dead person cannot try to keep a law. Nor can he try to please God because he is dead.
The only law acceptable to God, is “the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Yashuah” (Rom. 8: 1-2). The power by which God’s righteousness works in man is the power of Christ in us. It is the Spirit of Christ working in us and through us. He, and He alone, is our enablement to please God. Yashuah says that “without Me you can do nothing” (John 15: 5). Neither obey the law nor keep His commandments! But if I am willing to do His will, because I love Him (John 14: 23) —not only willing but also delighted to do His will (Ps 40: 9), then He will work in me to will and to do for His good pleasure (Phil 2:13). No own effort can do it! No effort in our own strength can do it! Only trust in Him as my righteousness. Only the faith in His word that He does it through us!
Therefore let no one judge you
If someone then judges you by the standard of any law, and you let yourself be judged, and you try to please that one by performing better, you have again brought yourself under the yoke of servitude. This is what happened in the congregation of the Galatians: There came Jews who said that they should still observe the Jewish circumcision — which was according to the law. Now read Gal 6: 11-16 and then Paul’s admonition that they should therefore stand fast in ” the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” (Gal 5: 1) . He says in Col 2:16: “So let no one judge you…”. In Rom 8: 33-34: “Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us”. As long as someone holds fast the grace of God, and sees and believes Yashuah as His righteousness, you may not bring an accusation against him. Neither judge him, for then you are in the place of Satan, he who is the prosecutor and “accuser of our brethren” (Rev. 12:10). It is Satan and his disciples who accuses Yashuah of, “We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die” (John 19: 7). The law therefore crucified Him! And today it is still the law that causes us, Yashuah’s followers, to be crucified. Sometimes it’s the law of Moses, and sometimes it’s the law of churches and religious organizations, and sometimes it’s just the law of people — people close to you. The good news is: If they crucify you, that’s exactly what Christ wants to accomplish in you! It is the death and burial with Christ that God wants to achieve in us! Praise and thank Him for that, because “ if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him” (2 Tim 2:11).
Above I have said that if you come out from the slavery of Egypt, you may not take any leaven with you. I’m not talking about the leaven that is in the bread you buy daily at the Supermarket. No, I am talking about the leaven to which 1 Cor 5: 6-8 refers: “Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” When you read the passage about the migration or Exodus from Egypt, did you read all the terms and rules that were presented to the people? It was a holy journey — just like the entrance into “a new and living way, which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, his flesh” (Heb 10:20). It is a holy entry, and a holy walk on this new and living way! The natural man does not understand this, as 1 Cor 2: 10-16 also says. You really need an immersion in His Spirit so that you can understand it (Verses 14-15). Then you too will be able to walk in the Spirit (Gal 5: 16-18) on this new and living path.
The Holy Spirit alone can give you deep insight into another law: “… the perfect law of liberty” (James 1:25). Have you ever experienced the word in Romans 8:21 in your life?: “because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.”
When you will allow the Holy Spirit to provide you with deep insight into the perfect law of freedom, you will experience it. James 1:25: “But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.” The law of Moses and all other laws make you a servant — a slave, but the perfect law of freedom breaks all chains of slavery. I cannot write about this now further, but do pray to your Father that He will reveal it to you. Pray that He will show you who and what you are a slave to. Then also pray to Him that He will make you see and realise the price through which you were redeemed by Him. 1 Cor 7:23; 1 Pet 1: 17-19.
54. What the torn (rent) veil means.
So if you want to enter this new and living way through the veil (Heb. 10: 19-22), you must understand — yes, clearly understand — what the “torn veil” (Matt. 27:51) means. Of the veil He says, “… that is, His flesh” (Heb 10:20). The tearing of His flesh was therefore also the tearing of our flesh because He came in “the likeness of sinful flesh” (Rom 8: 3). And he took that flesh of ours unto the cross, and had it torn, and destroyed. His blood before the throne of God testifies to this and is also the proof before Satan that our sinful flesh has been destroyed. It is complete. “It is finished” (John 19:30). However, we just have to believe it. We must also have an expectation that God’s Spirit will make it happen in us. If we believe this, God will, according to His promise in 2 Thess 1:11, “… fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power.”
God wants us to come out from among this world: “Come out from among them…” If you now read the passage in 2 Cor 6: 14-18 then you realize that we cannot physically come out from among this world — not now. But assuredly we must get out with our heart! We are in the world but not of the world (John 15:19; 17:16) You can only accomplish this if you meditate on the things from above — where Christ sits at the right hand of God (Col 3: 2). But you will not succeed in this if you have not first experienced an immersion in the love of Christ. Once you have met Him, you will love Him so much that you will constantly think of Him and long for Him. I wonder if many Christians today have truly repented? But thank God that there are those who have experienced a profound repentance. If you have truly turned away from this world to Christ with all your heart, because you realize that He alone can save you from eternal hell; you will weep before Him with remorse for all your sins. This is because you have come to a true realization of your sin. I am starting to look more and more into these basic principles for the cause of the mental state of this Boer people of ours. I ask: Did they really come to a realisation of sin? Did they really see and accept Yashuah as their only Saviour? Did they wholeheartedly repent to Him and personally met Him and came to love Him? Then He will become precious to them (1 Pet 2: 6-7). Then He will become their precious treasure (Matt 6: 19-21) and where their treasure is their heart will be also.
Then they can say, “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Phil 3:20). Then they are strangers and sojourners in this world (1 Pet 2:11; Heb 11:13). Then they are in the world but not of the world (John 17:14). But if you did not turn yourself that wholeheartedly towards Yashuah and came to love Him so that He became precious to you, then He is an obstacle for you! Yes, the Scripture says, “Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,” and “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.” (1 Pet 2: 7-8). However terrible that word may be, if you are not justified by faith, Christ — that precious Stone — is a stumbling block to you. If you still have to try to please God through your achievements or good works, Christ is an obstacle for you. Or, as 1 Peter 2: 7 says, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.”
Fellowship with the tearing of Christ’s flesh
You will also first have to have fellowship with the tearing of Christ’s flesh — that is, the fellowship with His death or rather to be identified with Him in His death. Remember that He came in your flesh and was born in your flesh on this earth for the purpose of taking that flesh of yours to the cross (Rom 8: 3) to have it die. You have to believe and accept it. You must be willing that He can deal with that flesh of yours through whom Hé wills and when Hé wills and as Hé wills. The flesh is “the natural man” of which 1 Cor 2:14 speaks. The natural man in itself is not sin, but as long as you have not sacrificed the natural man you will never be able to become a spiritual man. Also, you will have a constant war within you between the natural and the spiritual — between the flesh and the Spirit (Gal. 5: 16-18). Therefore, you will have to become free of the natural man who places so many burdens on you through his connection with people, politics, world events and everything that concerns the flesh and the natural man. This “liberation” of the flesh or the “laying down” of the flesh is nothing but the “tearing of the veil.”
Read Galatians 4: 21-31 and note that you will never be able to offer spiritual sacrifices (Rom 12: 1-2) if you have not first sacrificed Ishmael (the flesh). You will also never be able to walk in the Spirit or pray in the Spirit (Ephesians 6:10; Jude 1:20). Someone recently told me, “The Lord is now working with me in a way I do not like.” Have your parents always worked with you in a way you like? Did they try to spare your “Own Self”? I hope that was not the case! And if that was the case, if they always treated you gently and let you have your own way, I’m sorry for you and your parents as well as your husband / wife and everyone with whom your path will be crossing. Your parents are still going to be very ashamed for the great failure that their upbringing in you turned out to be. And for you, the way of the cross will be much more painful than it would be if you were strictly disciplined and you never got your own way.
55. The leaven of the Pharisees.
—It is to pretend to be what you are not (Luke 12: 1). There is a good explanation for this in Matt 23: 1-39. When man has not become a new creature through truly being born again (2 Cor 5:17; John 3: 3-5), they try to create the impression that they have been born again through their own strength and good works: “As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.” (Gal. 6:12). “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation” (verse 15).
So you cannot walk the new and living way without being born again. And you cannot imitate being born again. It only comes through the indwelling Christ in you — through the Spirit of God’s Son (Rom. 8: 15-17). You cannot imitate salvation through the blood of Christ, also not being made righteous and being filled with the Holy Spirit. You may try to create the impression with people that you are walking on the new and living way, but soon everyone will know that you are hypocritical. It is a performance by a good actor, namely the Antichrist and his spirit of deception. For years Christians have been hypocritical about being filled with the Holy Spirit, but now the moment of truth has arrived: If the stones with which they build the foundation (Christ) are not real, they will not withstand the fiery trial of persecution and tribulation (1 Cor 3: 9-16 Read it yourself). Acting is phoney and will not withstand the fiery trial!
Do you feel like doing God’s work?
Ps 40: 8 “I delight to do your will, O my God, and Your law is within my heart.” We now live in a world where few people truly love working. When I asked a bum why he did not want to work, he replied: “Work makes one tired and I do not want to get tired!” To pray is truly hard work. If the Holy Spirit does not work in you to will and to do to His good pleasure, you will always be too tired to pray. You will always have an excuse. This is what Scripture means by: “The lazy man says, There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!” (Proverbs 22:13).
I have already told you how the Father chastised me because I was too lazy / tired to get up. Yet I am not lazy by nature. But my Father does not seek in me the slightest form of laziness. When I get up in the morning it’s still pitch dark, but the moment the day breaks — still dark actually — I hear the bees working. How can they get up so early? They go to bed early. They do not have a TV nor do they have electric lights that extend their day much longer than the Creator intended. I think I said enough! If I go on talking about this further I will have to answer for it!
56. The woman’s wonderful place in the plan of God on earth.
Right from the creation of man, God had a plan to make him a help that would suit him — a mate for the sake of man so that he would not be alone. Read this brief history in Gen 2: 4-25. It is clear from this that the woman was created for the sake of the man as 1 Cor 11: 8-9 also says: “For man is not from woman, but woman from man. Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.” For the sake of man’s calling and the purpose of God with him in this creation? Yes, definitely, and for no other reason. God made man to rule over all creation (Gen 1: 26-31) and the woman was to assist him in this — not as a co-ruler or sovereign, but as a silent support in prayer. When this purpose of God with the woman gets through to the women’s thinking, she will begin to move toward the wonderful plan that God had with her, and still has. But we must never forget that Satan’s purpose from the day he was cast out of heaven (Isa. 14: 12-13) was to thwart God’s plans and obstruct Him. In every aspect of Creation he tried with his evil forces to lead mankind away from God’s will. Would not the crown of God’s creation then also be subjected to this? Yes, definitely! That would be Satan’s greatest target: the relationship between man and woman! His purpose would surely be to not allow the woman to fulfil what God created her for from the rib bone of Adam. Did he succeed? Yes, with tears I must say: In a very subtle way, the spirit of the Antichrist succeeded in creating “something similar” in the Christian church. Similar, but not what God wants — not the real thing! I will write more about this later.
Satan’s first attack was on the woman because he knew she was the weaker sex (1 Pet 3: 7) and an easier prey to seduce. Adam certainly would not have doubted God’s word. He would have rebuked Satan as Christ did when he also tempted Him in the wilderness (Matt. 4: 1-11). But the woman’s influence on the man gave Satan a breakthrough in order to bring Adam into sin. Therefore, it is held against the woman until the New Testament. If you now read 1 Tim 2: 9-15 then you see that there is an impediment on the woman — not a curse.
Why would God have given the woman such a powerful influence on the man? That she had to lead him into sin? Certainly not! But then He must have had another purpose with it. Or was it a case of: “…sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” (Gen 4: 7). Was it perhaps so, because Eve was flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone (Gen 2: 23-24), that, when she fell into sin, she immersed Adam as well into sin? For clearly God still holds it against the woman in the New Testament (1 Tim 2: 9-15). Of course, every woman who repents to God will receive forgiveness, but the impediment still remains that she stands in a relationship of authority under the man in the congregation. Now you must first read in Ephesians 5: 22-33; 1 Cor 11: 1-16; 1 Tim 2: 9-15; 1 Peter 3: 1-7. Have you read it? If not you should not go any further with this chapter, but read it first otherwise you will not be able to comprehend what I am writing here further.
The prince/ruler Babel, who is one of the chief princes or rulers under Satan, played a major role in overthrowing God’s initial purpose with the woman as help for the man. The woman had to help the man — not manage but help — to carry out what God had created for him. But then the Fall came and only with the coming of Christ did God make possible His initial purpose, that man should rule over creation. The Scriptures in Ps 8: 4-9; Hebrews 2: 5-9 are prophetic truths concerning the dominion over the creation to which God has called us — yes, even in this time in which we are now living. But more on that later.
If God then intended that man should rule over creation, then man’s fall before Eve, who in turn fell before Satan, caused him to not be able to rule until… Until the original plan of God is fulfilled, namely, that man should rule over creation, in Christ — the second Adam. This will be a wonderful event! Paul said to the Corinthians who ruled, but not in the right way: “… and indeed I could wish you did reign, that we also might reign with you!” (1 Cor 4: 8). There are many people in Christianity who would like to be rulers and want to manipulate everyone under the guise of acting with the authority of Christ, but it is not Christ who rules through them. It is the flesh and it may even be the spirit of the Antichrist. If we rule as Revelation 5:10 says, it will be a rule of Christ through us — His Spirit of love, peace, righteousness, divine wisdom, and the fruit He bears through us. If there is still unforgiveness, lovelessness, selfishness and such things, it is not the wisdom and dominion that “descend from above” as James 3: 13-18 also says. That what descends from above is described in Isaiah 32: 1: “Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule with justice”. But who is ruling on this earth right now? We know that God reigns and that He has given all power in heaven and on earth to His Son: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth” (Matt. 28:18). 1 Cor 15: 24-28: “Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. 27For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. 28Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.”
The dominion that must descend from Above is nothing but the answer to our prayer: “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth…” (Matt. 6:10) According to Daniel 2:44, this is the begetting of the government and rule of the people of the saints that will take place “by no human hand”. It will come purely from Above in answer to the prayer of the saints: “Let Your kingdom come!” But that prayer must not come because we fear the darkness. Nor because we are weary of the 4th Beast’s tribulation! It must come because of a longing to see our King face to face, because we love Him. “But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him” (1 Cor 8: 3)
Hebrews 2: 8-9 says, “But now we do not yet see all things put under him (man). 9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.” This submission of all things has yet to happen, but in the meantime we must sit at God’s right hand in Yashuah (Ephesians 2: 6) —as part of His body, until His enemies are made His footstool (Heb 10:13). If we then have to wait until we can rule through Christ, we will have to find out what we have to do in the meantime. Do we just have to wait for the specified time to arrive? Or should we do something in the meantime, is the question.
57. What the Apostles did while they waited?
Two thousand years ago, Paul and the other apostles were already doing something. They instructed the congregations to submit to the authority of (spiritual) leaders (Phil 2:12; Heb 13:17) so that the first level of dominion would already be in place. They instructed women to submit to the men, and also the children to submit to their parents. This was actually the first level, and the second level was in the congregation. Here you really must first read in 1 Tim 3: 4-5. The servants had to submit to their bosses and everyone had to submit to the authorities. Also, everyone had to submit to God (James 4: 7). And all authority was seen as authority coming from God: the traffic officer, the principal, teacher, their father and mother, leaders in the church: “…For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.” (Rom. 13: 1).
I said here above that there were clear instructions regarding the submission of the women to the men. This is the single instruction that has provoked a lot of comments over the centuries and has also been much disputed and questioned. The reason? Satan wants to follow through with what he has accomplished in the Garden of Eden to the end so that he can rob Yashuah of His bride. He also wants to prevent man from ruling over creation, as God originally intended. Satan wants women to rule, as is already the case. Isaiah 3:12 “As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.” He wants them to rule over their husbands, over companies, over nations as state presidents, ministers and whatever else? And it is tragic but true that strong leaders are lacking among the men. It is also the case that women are very smart managers. But it is God’s permissible will as in the case of Deborah who was a judge in Israel “because leaders were lacking in Israel”. Read Judges 5: 7. When God truly raises up His fallen people we will see men like we have never seen in our lives! And then we will also see the woman in the glorious role and calling to which God has called her. She is going to protect the man through her prayer for him. But many women do not know the power of prayer and therefore they also do not believe that they will be able to straighten out their husbands through prayer. Why is that so then? “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.” (James 4: 2-3).
In Rev 19: 7 the word says that the wife of the Lamb prepared herself. I have confirmed numerous couples in marriage over the years. In most cases, the bride was late and everyone had to wait. Many people were impatient and irked, unaware that it was an example of the marriage supper of the Lamb (Matt. 22: 1-9; Matt. 25: 1-13; Rev. 19: 7). Whatever the words above may mean, one thing is for certain namely that the bride should be ready at the time of the wedding. If you walk sincerely with Yahweh, His Spirit will convince you that the bride must make herself ready. If the earthly marriage is at all a type or example of the heavenly, you will realize that something great and profound must take place in the earthly marriage in order to display a true image of Christ and His bride.
Ephesians 5: 22-33 compares the earthly relationship between man and woman with Christ and His congregation. Read it carefully and prayerfully first. Do you experience in your spirit that the Holy Spirit convinces you that something from above will have to take place in your relationship with your wife / husband / partner in order to portray the relationship of Christ with His bride? Do you realize that the unity that Yashuah prayed for — the unity between Him and His Father, which must also be between Him and us, must also be between us and our wives? (John 17: 20-23; Ephesians 2: 14-16). I repeat: The same unity that is between Yashuah and His Father, He also wants between us and Him. Then He also wants the same unity between His disciples and also between holy men and their holy wives. This is as far as unity of spirit and soul is concerned, or as Phil 1:27 puts it: “…that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel…”. Then we read in Phil 2: 2 “…by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind”. This then is the mind of Christ: “But we have the mind of Christ” (1 Cor. 2:16). Listen to the word in 1 Cor. 1:10: “Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”
58. Something New on earth.
Something new on earth: The woman will protect the man. This word in Jer. 31:22 has had many interpretations. If you ask various people’s opinions about it today, you will be amazed at how everyone sees it: “How long will you waver, o faithless daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth: a woman protects a man.” (Jer 31:22). Women have even said that the word gives them the right to scratch out the eyes of any woman who messes with their husband! But what does it really mean in terms of how God intended it? I have looked up numerous explanatory books and most say that it does not refer to a man and his wife but to the woman and the man in the people of God. The woman who “encompass the man” means: “She surrounds him”. The “something new” indicates that this has not been the case before. It refers to the woman who supports the man with her prayer and cries out to God for the man, so much so that she truly is a help to him so he can fulfill the original purpose God had with him when He created him. And that is of course to rule over creation. The “Afrikaans Explanatory Bible” explains the meaning of the word “protect” from the Hebrew language with “an intense circling”
If the believing woman discovers her calling and ministry in Christ, she will become such a force for the man that the man will be able to live out his ministry and calling. But now the enemy has made a small shift in emphasis and made the woman feel that she is the man’s advisor — his counsellor and the one who has to manage him. In many cases, this has led to the woman giving herself the right to criticize, manipulate and rule over the man. At first the phenomenon was kept out of the churches, but at last the woman began to preach and rule in the congregation — what the word clearly said should not happen. The order of authority as Paul cite in 1 Cor 11: 1-16 and 1 Cor 14: 34-36 no longer exists.
I realize that what I am writing here is going to provoke a heated debate but do yourself a favour and talk to your Father about it. Ask yourself the question, husband, whether your wife can have any respect for you as priest of the house? Not that this may give you, wife, reason to despise him. No, if he is not this, you must “intensely circle” him with your prayers and the promises you receive from your Father for him — promises you stand on and constantly remind God of (Isa. 62: 6). It does not mean that you should constantly admonish, teach, rebuke and criticize him! Listen to the word in 1 Pet 3: 1: “Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.” If the woman sees weaknesses in the man, or even sins he commits, her first task is to pray for him: “If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.” (1 John 5:16). Is it not because we no longer believe in the indescribable great power that can be found in prayer that the woman just wants to preach to, rebuke, admonish and criticize the man? John says: “… and He will give him life …”. Woman, He will therefore answer your prayer, even if you have to wait for it with perseverance (Hab 2: 3). But when you judge him for his wrongdoing, you are entering the territory of the “Accuser of our Brethren” (Rev. 12:10; Zech. 3: 1). “Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.” (Rom 8: 33-34). It is clear from the above Scriptures that Satan is the one who brings accusations against the elect of God! You certainly do not want to be a collaborator of Satan! Or do you want to?
59. The women who brought the good news.
Ps 68: 11: “Great was the company of those who proclaimed it.” There certainly is a great and wonderful task for the women who are waiting for their eyes to be opened to the wrong path they have chosen. The wrong path? Yes, they want to rule over the man and therefore they do not even want to hear about: “Your husband shall rule over you” (Gen 3:16). But their eyes are blind to the glorious purpose God has with them as women! Once they have discovered it, they are going to proclaim it with rejoicing. They are going to experience a liberation they never knew! Why should they be liberated? Are they slaves then?
You now have much to pray about, and my dearest wife and I are praying for you to be a part of the “something new” that our Father is creating on this earth. In the next chapter then, we’ll talk further about this great and glorious subject. In the meantime, please pray for it. Amen!
