Praise the Lord. The Lord started with a little counseling session this morning, and we do record our counseling sessions. Directly from counseling, the Lord started preaching so what you will hear for about the next 5-10 minutes is the exhortation that came forth from me at the end of the counseling session. The volume is a little low, but it will pick up right after that when we come back to our regular recording equipment which I am recording on right now. So right now you are about to hear the exhortation that came forth in the counseling session this morning.
There are physical manifestations of what happens, but the whole thing is in the spirit. I was reading a little bit in the history there, and it was about one of David's battles and the description was so spiritual. It says, and he stabbed him under the fifth rib. Rib means side. Under the fifth side, that is under the fifth energy center. In other words, he stripped his power from the throat center and cast him down, cast down his fiery Serpent. I had to go before the Lord yesterday and say, Lord did these battles even happen in the natural? And I said, well, there really had to be something in the natural because we know that the Hebrew people were in Israel, that there are a physical Hebrew people.
So, where is the line? The only answer that I got is that a lot of this did happen in the natural, but it is just a manifestation of what is happening in the spirit. What I read about was a spiritual defeat, and exactly what happened in the natural I do not know, but I guess the person died. And even everything that is happening today, this great battle that is already in progress that is going to be culminated during this next year, 2000, is all in the spirit, and it is going to manifest in a negative way in this world because this world is the negative image of the spiritual world.
So what is happening in the spiritual world is that Christ Jesus is defeating Satan and Leviathan, and our physical bodies and this whole physical world is Satan's world. So, that means it is going to manifest in this world as destruction because Christ Jesus is bringing down Satan's world, and the only time we are protected in the physical, when Christ Jesus is defeating Satan the only physical human beings which are the leaves of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the only time it is not going to be physically destructive to them is when they are given over to Christ Jesus. The only time physical mortal men are not going to get hurt in this mirror image world when Christ Jesus is defeating Satan and Leviathan, the physical human being in this world will be protected if they are following Jehovah's law. If Christ Jesus brings down Satan and Leviathan in the spiritual, every manifestation in this mirror image world that has deviated from the basic Ten Commandments, that has deviated from the spiritual law, is going to experience destruction in life.
You do not even have to be in Christ, I do not think you even have to be a Christian, to receive some measure of protection if you are obeying the spiritual law of God. You need Christ to go on to eternal life. You need Christ to come out from under the law, but if you do not have Christ, and you are obeying the spiritual law of God which is the law of love, which means what you do to your neighbor you would have them to do unto you. That means that you do no violence to other men, and that means that you do no cheat them out of a penny, and you probably will survive any destruction that comes along, but everybody breaks the law at some point, everybody is subject to something. That is the only protection in this mirror image world against the destruction that is coming against Satan and Leviathan, in general, from Christ Jesus in the spiritual plane. Do you understand what I said?
If you follow the spiritual, you do no harm to anybody. Christ Jesus is the positive, or the left side of the heart center, is the positive world, and there is a war going on as to which world this mirror image world will reflect. Will it reflect the spiritual world on the left side of the heart center or will it reflect the spiritual world on the right side of the heart center which is Satan's world? The left side is the world of Christ Jesus, and this mirror image....well, there is only one mirror image world. Which spiritual world will it reflect? What is happening right now is that the mirror image world of the imputed Christ which was upon this nation and all of Christendom is being dissolved. All of Christendom, all of Christian Europe, going back 40-50 years ago when people went to church on Sunday and....it is not the physical act of going to church, but they honored the name of Jesus Christ, this nation was strong, and it was in order. We had crime, but we had peace. The nation as a whole was in order, but as this nation comes out from under the spiritual law of God destruction is falling everywhere. What does that mean? It means 50 years or so ago when this nation was in order, this nation and all of Christendom, Christian Europe, were a reflection of the imputed Christ. What does that mean? Well, we were not fully Christ Jesus, we were not even scripturally righteous, but because we honored the name of Jesus Christ the world was in scriptural order and blessed by God.
What we see happening right now is that this order that was established in Christendom because of the honor of Jesus Christ is dissolving, and the Lord is telling you right now that this is a physical manifestation of the scriptural expression that I preached about in Samson and Delilah. You may recall me saying something like this: Well, Adam was ascended into the heart center in the mortal men of Judah because of the strength of Samson, their leader, and there was a union in the heart centers of the mortal men of Judah with the Spirit of Elijah that was in Samson. The Spirit of Elijah in Samson, from Samson's mind, was penetrating the mortal men of Judah, and sustaining and maintaining Adam in the heart center, in the left side of the heart center in the mortal men of Judah. Adam could never have stood in the left side of the heart center in the mortal men of Judah without the strength of the Spirit of Elijah proceeding forth from Samson's mind, but when the mortal men of Judah in their personalities began to fall out of agreement with the righteousness of Christ...well, let me say this first, that means that the resurrected Adam in the mortal men of Judah was imputed. They were not in right standing because of their own strength. It was the Spirit of Elijah in Samson penetrating their mind that gave the strength to the mortal men of Judah to be a manifestation of Adam or Christ Jesus in the New Testament. But when the personalities of the mortal men of Judah, in their thinking, turned away from the righteous ideas of Adam...Adam is the perfect expression of Jehovah's nature, when, in their thinking, they turned away towards Leviathan's thinking, the expression in the Alternate Translation is, Adam in the mortal men of Judah began to dissolve. If you look over your notes of the Alternate Translation, that is what you will see - Adam began to dissolve.
Well, that is wonderful poetry, even the Alternate Translation is poetry, what does it mean that Adam began to dissolve? We read the Alternate Translation, and it says he began to dissolve, and Satan and Leviathan apprehended the personalities. Well what does that mean? Well, look around you, it is happening in this country today. The imputed Christ Jesus which is Adam in the Old Testament is dissolving in this nation, and he is dissolving in this nation in the individual hearts of the many members of this nation because they have rejected the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the manifestation of the glorified Jesus Christ to a nation with imputed righteousness. They are rejecting the law of God, and they are rejecting the Holy Spirit, they are not honoring the name of Jesus, and the imputed Christ Jesus that was protecting this nation is dissolving right before our very eyes.
What is confusing to a lot of carnally minded people is that it is taking years to happen, but this is what is going on in this nation. Christ Jesus who existed in this nation, not because of the righteousness of the nation or of the people in the nation, but because Christ Jesus honored us for honoring His Name that imputed manifestation of Christ Jesus is dissolving as that imputed Christ Jesus dissolves. In the mind of one man at a time, there is a collective dissolution of righteousness over the whole nation. Just as if you build a sand castle and the sea comes in and washes over it, the very spiritual core of this nation is dissolving and changing. When it dissolves, then the next thing is that it is built up in another form, and the two things are happening at once. The spiritual nature and formation of this nation is dissolving and being rebuilt in Satan's image simultaneously. It is happening a man at a time. There is an epidemic of unrighteousness in this nation, and what happens to the man who is captured by Satan, the spiritually ignorant man, is that the imputed Christ Jesus that was in his heart because he went to church every Sunday because his mother and father made him go has dissolved, and he does not even know that he is completely given over to the thoughts of Satan and Leviathan.
This exhortation that is coming out of me right now is right out of the verses that I have to speak to you about in Samson and Delilah. I think we will pick up with that message right now.
Well, we are back on our regular recording equipment right now, and I would like to direct you to the paragraph in our study on Samson and Delilah which speaks about Adam dissolving, and that is the second paragraph under Verse 19 which reads, And this is how Satan began to dissolve Adam, the wedge between the widowed Fiery Serpents within the mortal men of Judah and Leviathan, so that Cain within the mortal men of Judah could pluck Abel, Samson's disciple within the mortal men of Judah, away from Adam within the mortal men of Judah, and force Abel down under Cain within the mortal men of Judah. To pluck Abel within the mortal men of Judah away from....actually, that should be away from the Spirit of Elijah in Samson, and force Abel down under Cain within the mortal men of Judah.
So we see that the Lord this morning, in case you did not realize it, has given us a revelation of this expression that Adam is dissolved. To be honest with you, I had not seen it this way until the Lord illuminated me this morning. I do know that we have to get away from the letter, even of the Doctrine of Christ, that these spiritual principles that are being preached, that it is essential for our spiritual growth that we can apply these spiritual principles to this physical world so that we can see the truth of what is happening in the spiritual world is manifesting in the physical world.
See, the Doctrine of Christ is a story or an exhortation upon life in the spiritual plane or the existence in the spiritual plane. So to have a complete picture, we must see how this activity, I guess that is the word, even better than life or existence, the activity on the spiritual plane will manifest in this world. See, the carnal translations of the Scripture are the carnal mind's understanding of how spiritual activity in the invisible planes will manifest in this world, and there definitely is an expression, there definitely is a carnal expression of the activity on the spiritual planes in this world. It all depends on who you are, whether your mind is Christ or whether your mind is Satan and Leviathan.
See, I see Christ Jesus, and this is the revelation that the Lord gave me this morning, I see Christ Jesus dissolving in Christendom at large, and I explained it on the earlier part of this message which came forth in the exhortation. The civilization that is an expression of the imputed Christ Jesus ruling over Christendom, and this nation in particular, is dissolving. It is going the way of the dinosaur. How people think, and the fruit of how they think. You see, we would never have this filth on TV or in the movies if people would stop watching it. The minds of the people are being seduced, but even though the imputed Christ Jesus is being dissolved in this country right now, He is getting stronger in me every day. And the proof that He is getting stronger in me every day is that this physical body that should have been dead years and years and years ago is being renewed every day. I am stronger than I have been in 20-30 years.
So we see that it is possible to press against the pricks when the pricks are going in the wrong direction. In other words, that expression "do not press against the pricks," is what Jesus said to Paul, do not oppose Him, but we certainly can oppose what is going on in this world. If you can hear me, it is the condition of Christ Jesus in your heart that will determine who you are, what you are, and what your life will be like even if the whole nation is going down in disaster. And I am not prophesying that. I believe that the Lord will deliver this nation, I just do not know what form His deliverance will take, but I do know, Scripturally speaking, that deliverance for people who really do not understand God's ways usually comes in the form of some form of destruction that will turn them from what they are doing and cause them to cry out to God. And this is the difference between the sowing and reaping judgment and the White Throne Judgment of Christ.
If you cannot understand what I am saying here, whoever you are, where ever you are in this world, if you cannot understand what I am saying and find it within you to turn to Christ, and you will never do that if you do not understand what I am saying. Maybe you will understand what I am saying, and you will not have whatever it takes to turn to Christ. If you cannot do that, then you will continue in your carnal mind, and eventually every...., and this is my strong opinion, that every carnal mind in this country will eventually be seduced, and it is only the minds of the people that are committed to Christ that will not be seduced.
Now, I believe that there are people in this nation that have the Holy Spirit, that they have a carnal mind under the influence of the Holy Spirit, and I would like to believe, I do not have the exact answer here, I would like to believe that they will stand because of their faith in Jesus Christ even though their mind is not Christ. It is my understanding right now that you can accomplish pretty much everything with an imputed Christ that you can with an imparted Christ. What does that mean? If you have a carnal mind, and you are under the influence of the Holy Spirit and fully committed to Him, you may have an imputed Christ formed in you, an imputed Christ mind formed in you, that you can pretty much do everything as the man who has Christ grafted to him if you continue to seek the Lord for every aspect of your life.
Basically, what the imparted Christ can give you that the imputed Christ cannot give you is stability. As we just read about today, the imputed Christ can be dissolved. The imputed Christ can be dissolved, and if you recall the verse that I read to you, I am not even sure I read it to you today, but we have been over these Scriptures so many times....the reason, well let me give it to you right here. The reason that Christ could be dissolved in the mortal men of Judah is given to us in verse 18b which is just two paragraphs above the verse that I just read you. But when Satan perceived that the spiritual woman who was miserable, disheartened, and pining away because of her weak and inadequate nature belonged to the Spirit of Christ, and they were all standing boldly opposite Leviathan in the heart center of the upper window, Satan did not like it. They were all sold out to Christ, and this is what Satan did. She vibrated forth to harvest the Fiery Serpents within the mortal men of Judah off of Adam's vine. She moved forward by her spirit to separate the personality from the imputed Mind of Christ, and to re-engrave the Fiery Serpents with her own image. The way she does that is with seductive thoughts. I am not doing a full exhortation now so I am going to drop that.
She does that by injecting thoughts that are not of Christ into your mind and convincing you that they are right. That is how she does it; that is how she separates you from Christ. Who is she? Satan. That is how she separates you from Christ. What I was saying to you was, the only thing that....and, of course, this is very important what the imparted Christ can give you that the imputed Christ cannot give you is that the imparted Christ does not dissolve. Satan cannot dissolve the imparted Christ. So we see that the imputed Christ can be dissolved and also the imparted Christ cannot give you eternal life. The imparted Christ can give you great things in this life, great blessings in direct proportion to your commitment to Him, your commitment to obedience and to living His law. You can have a change in your personality, you can have character flaws healed, you can have physical ailments healed, your children can be blessed, you can be blessed financially, you can be blessed in every area, but you are still going to die after a season.
The imparted Christ is our passport to eternal life, and when this imparted Christ, and that is the Christ that is grafted to our personality, who has become the head of our personality with His righteous nature, when He grows to maturity, and He is born again in us, we receive unending life. So if you are hearing this message, and it is one of the first messages you have ever heard me preach, I have now shocked you. Not only are you not born again, but you are not capable of being born again because only that which came down from heaven is capable of returning to heaven. And the only one that came down from heaven is the Son of God within you, and that is not the personality, you see. It is not the personality. It is the Son of God within you who is being born again, not you, the personality. If He is grafted to you, you too will be born again with Him, and when He appears you shall appear with Him. But He is the one that is being born again. The personality is manifestations of the ox of the earth, the spiritual ox that was formed to surround Adam. The earth has always been dead. There is only life in the earth when the earth is cleaving to Life, and Life is only in the Spirit of Christ.
We were talking about the seduction that is upon this nation right now. The collective Christ Jesus, the collective Adam in this nation is dissolving. His image is dissolving in this nation. Listen to what people say. Listen to what they think. I was watching one of the talk shows last night. The Serpent's mind is very strong in this nation, and they are openly admitting, this lawyer that I saw on TV representing a major organization in the United States, that, yes she wants it taught that homosexuality is as legitimate a lifestyle as heterosexuality, and she wants it taught to small children that both lifestyles are equally normal. And if you do not have enough money to put your child in a private school, that is what your child is going to be hearing if the school districts accept that plan. Now, that is not the mind of the imputed Christ. That is the Serpent's mind.
So we see that the image of Christ Jesus is dissolving in this nation as a whole, but there is always a remnant. The beings that existed on the other side of the flood, they were all dissolved, but Noah stayed in the image of Elohim who was in the image of Jehovah. I do not know whether there was a physical flood in this world or not. Some scientists say it was global. Other scientists say there was no global flood, that there were a few local floods. I do not know, and, to me, it is not worth even pursuing because I know that no matter what did happen on the earth, it was just a physical expression of what was happening in the spirit.
And what was happening in the spirit is this. The race of beings that existed on the other side of the flood were the descendants of Seth, and at one time they served Jehovah, and they were in His nature. But the floods came in, the spiritual floods. Who is the spiritual flood? Satan is the flood. She is the waters. Satan whispered to them, and when their personality fell into agreement, either by seduction or by ignorance....see, it does not matter, if you touch the unclean thing you are dirty. Oh, I did not know that was dirty. Well, it is on your hands. You touched it. So, for whatever reason, I do not have any more details at this time, the race of beings that existed on the other side of the flood received the suggestions of Satan and fell into agreement with her thoughts. To agree with someone's thoughts is to open a door.
Jesus said, I knock, I am standing here knocking, let Me in. Well, what do you think that means? Do you think by saying, I love you, Jesus, welcome Lord Jesus, come in Lord Jesus, that, that will let Him in? No. When Jesus comes in, He brings His mind with Him, He brings His thought with Him, and He brings the mechanism of the way He thinks with Him. See, there is a difference between His thoughts and the mechanism of how He thinks. You can see, I agree with everything Jesus says, yes, I am going to repeat everything He says. That is not enough. You have to have the mechanism within you, the way He thinks, the way He reasons, the way He uses logic. You have to think like Him, you see. It is not enough to repeat what He says, because then you are a robot or a servant like we were saying in the counseling session this morning. Jesus is raising up sons. We must think like Him, you see.
Well, the beings on the other side of the flood received Satan's thoughts, and a door opened in the spirit, and they became vulnerable to her, and she flowed in. See, it was not physical water. It was spiritual water. She flowed into their minds, and the image that was in their mind, the nature of Jehovah that was in their mind began to be blurred. What does that mean, what does nature mean? It is a thought mechanism. It is how you reason. To help us understand, the Scripture says that nature is signified by a mark or by markings, that the spirit that thinks through us marks us as you would take a knife in wet clay. That is what we need to help us to understand.
I do not know that the beings on the other side of the flood even knew what was happening to them. I think what happened to them was very similar is what is happening to Christendom today until it was too late. The floods came and took everyone away. What does that mean? The nature that was engraved in their mind was dissolved. Adam was dissolved in their mind, and Leviathan took his place. And the floods came, and Adam was dissolved.
When I was young in God, I used to think that well, everything on the earth was destroyed because of the flood until someone pointed out to me in the King James translation, oh no, it was just that which was on the earth was dissolved or was destroyed. Everything in the sea survived. The water cannot hurt fish. Because the water rose, that did not hurt the fish. It did not hurt Leviathan, and it did not hurt Satan when the floods arose. Everything in the earth was destroyed. The nature, and the image of Jehovah that was engraved in the earth was destroyed, and the whole vision that was projected from that collective mind which was engraved with the nature of Jehovah was destroyed. Dissolved.
Noah was the only one who survived Satan's floods flowing into the world in that day. I do not know what it was like at that time. It is an interesting question to ask what happened to the other beings. If they did not really physically die because they were....if it is not true that they were physically drowned, and I do not think it was a physical creation, if the truth of what happened to them is that Adam in their mind dissolved and was replaced with the nature of Satan, and they continued to have an existence, what happened to them? Now, is that so way out? Is this not the truth of our existence? We were alive when we were God, and we were separated from God, and we died, but we still have an existence. Is this not the definition of hell? And has not the Lord recently shown us, over the last year or two, that the same is true of Abel? That Cain slew him? And that Abel is buried under the ground, but he has a consciousness?
So, if these two examples are true, I think logic would say that the beings on the other side of the flood did not cease to exist. They did not cease to have consciousness, but they died to the life which they experienced because Adam was regenerated in them, and that Noah and his sons, which were within him, were the only ones whose nature remained in the markings of Jehovah. Yet, when the crisis was over we found that even Noah became subject to Satan's seduction. So what happened to all those other people if they did not cease to exist? If they just died to the lifestyle of the regenerated Adam, what happened to them? I do not know. Do you know? I do not know.
Perhaps they exist today in another form, some nation somewhere. I do not know. I am not sure. I have some ideas, but I do not know how I got on this subject just now. And I do not want to go off that way. This is very interesting. The Lord just said that under the anointing. There has been a lot of revelation coming forth these last few days, just pops into my head, has nothing to do with anything that I am doing at the moment, just pops into my head. That is a good sign. It is a sign that Christ Jesus is manifesting in you. Praise the Lord.
So with regard to our message on Samson and Delilah, I do not know how I got to Noah, well, Lord, what do you want me to do with this message this morning? I am not going to strive with you, I am right here ready to preach Samson and Delilah, Part 15. I do not know how I got on Noah, Lord. Well, I do know how I got on Noah. We were talking about the dissolution of a mind, that it is possible to dissolve a mind, and then re-create that mind in another image.
Does anybody not understand the significance of the dissolution of a mind? The word dissolve, just another form of the word is dissolution. Is everybody OK with that?
I think we will go on with Samson then, and we left off on Part 14 on Page 4. We had just finished Verse 14. We will pick up at the very bottom of Page 4, Verse 12b. Of course, this is an interspersion so we had read Verse 14 before 12b, and in Verse 14 we saw that Satan had seduced the mortal men of Judah, and she was about to give them or engrave in them an imparted anointing that comes from Satan. She was about to weave herself through them. That is another way of saying the imparted anointing. As I told you earlier, the imputed anointing can be dissolved, but the imparted anointing cannot be dissolved. I believe that it is possible to destroy Christ Jesus when He is imparted to a man, but it is very, very hard to do. It is much, much harder to do than when Christ is imputed. Why? Because the personality is so woven together with the Christ mind that it is very hard to trick them.
I have experiences, I am in the process of having Christ imparted to me. It is not 100%, but a large part of me is the imparted Christ, and I know that the first time I experienced hearing His voice oppose the voice of my carnal mind it was a very interesting experience. Now it excites me. Now it excites me to know that I think....I can think that I have the whole thing figured out, and all of a sudden there is another thought in my mind. Now you have to know what this means, because the typical reaction of a mortal man when they hear that other voice is to just blow it off. Say, oh, I just feel so strongly that this is right, I just know this is right, I prayed, and I got it, and I just prayed and I fasted and the whole thing, and I just know I got it right.
And then all of a sudden....let us make it simple, I know I am going to go white, and then all of a sudden a voice, a very, very quiet voice, sounds in your mind and says, black. I had a choice between white and black. The average human being would just blow away that very, very quiet thought. You have to know that you have to lay hold of every thought that comes into your mind. Now, I am not 100%, but I am trained. I can have the whole thing just prayed through, convinced that it is God, but if I hear that little voice I am going to stop dead in my tracks, and say, uh oh, I think I made a mistake. Lord, did I make a mistake? Because I am telling you, when He speaks in this manner it is a very quiet voice. If you do not pay attention to Him and pursue what He said to you, He will not pursue you. He will not pressure you. He will not strong-arm you. He gives you His counsel, you the personality, you have to lay hold of it, and use it or you will lose it. You will lose His counsel, and then what? You will suffer the consequences of your error. Now I am not talking about death, depending on what your situation was. It could be loss in a relationship, it could be loss of finances, it could be loss of an opportunity to experience the things of God. You will experience the loss, you will reap what you sow because you chose the wrong path, but you could never say that Christ did not speak to you and tell you the truth.
Now, if you are not in this place yet, either Christ is not woven through the fabric of your personality and opposing in thought, Satan's thoughts. If you are blessed, the Lord can send another man to you that has Christ in him to speak the words to you. Now, it is really hard to reject the word spoken in your own language that you hear with your physical ears, and this is why it behooves us to pray about everything that we hear. I have heard people say things to me at airports that I have prayed about. I have heard what they said, and the thought occurred to me that, that could be God speaking to me. You see, it is one thing to be obedient to what we think He wants us to do, and it is another thing to be obedient to His voice. That could come from anywhere, but that is where our safety is, you see. It is not easy to be obedient because sometimes you are obedient to the wrong voice.
So, we see that there is an imparted anointing which is the weaving together of the mind to the personality, and once the mind is woven into the personality, that mind cannot dissolve. I believe it can be brought down, but it takes much stronger methods, and at the moment, if I know what those methods are, it is not coming to me right now. It would really have to get the person to sin. You would really have to get the person to choose Satan and Leviathan over Christ Jesus, and that is very hard to do when the Christ mind is woven through the fabric of their personality, because for every mistake that they are making, that still, small voice is sounding, saying, you are going the wrong way, that is the wrong decision. So, it is very hard, and much harder to bring down an imparted Christ, although I believe that it is possible to do it until the person is glorified but very, very difficult.
So, we see in Verse 14 that Satan was the pin, the weaving pin; that was ready to weave herself through the fabric of the personalities of the mortal men of Judah. She was ready to give them an imparted anointing with the carnal mind. There was a time that I thought that it was not possible to escape from this condition, but I know that all things are possible with Christ. Praise the Lord.
Of course, the end of Verse 12 was that the Spirit of Elijah arose in Samson and shined forth from Samson and entered into the minds of the mortal men of Judah, and delivered them from Satan just before she was about to weave herself through their personality.
We have heard something about Wormwood judgment. In this ministry, we have studied it from time to time. Does anybody remember what Wormwood judgment is?
COMMENT: It will run its course to the very, very end.
PASTOR VITALE: Right, even if you repent you cannot stop the judgment.
In other words, well, this is what happened to Judah when they were sent into captivity in Babylon. With all of their cries, and prayers, and repentance they still had to stay the allotted amount of time in Babylon. Recently, we had an international evangelist go to jail. It was a big scandal. I think there were a lot of people that thought surely the Lord would deliver him from jail, but that was Wormwood judgment. Apparently, he had not heeded....I think the man was anointed at some point, I thought he was a servant of God, and he went off somewhere, and he went under Wormwood judgment. He was not delivered from his jail sentence.
Now, I used to think....now look, this is a perfect example of how the carnal mind misjudges and condemns Christ Jesus continuously. It is the way we think. Our thought process is corrupted. I used to think that Wormwood judgment meant punishment, that God said, well, this is what you did, and now the judgment has fallen on you, and I am not going to deliver you because the only way you are going to change is by having this bad experience. Do you know that I believed that, up until this moment? But the Lord just told me what Wormwood judgment is.
Wormwood judgment occurs when, despite the fact that the Lord is doing everything that He can to deliver you, you still continue to agree with your carnal mind to the point that Satan does weave you through into an imparted anointing with her mind, and it could take years to dissolve your personality which is now woven together with Satan's spirit. It is not that God is punishing you. It is not that the Lord is saying, well, you reap what you sowed, and it was so serious that I forgive you, but you still have to serve your time. No. The Lord would deliver us every time, immediately, but sometimes we get ourselves into a condition that it takes longer to deliver us from than other situations. So you see, no matter how much trouble we get into, when we are still joined to Christ Jesus, if we fall down He picks us right back up and sets us on our feet, and we just go our merry way, continue to serve Him. But if we depart from Him, even if it is through ignorance, if we depart from Him to the point that Satan thrusts in her weaving pin and weaves herself together with our personality, it could take years to untangle us from her web. It is not that Jesus has pronounced so many years on us, and there is no repentance.
Brethren, every bad thing that happens to us is our own fault. The Lord wants to teach us, He wants to join with us, He wants to bless us, and He wants only good things for us. Every bad thing that happens to us is because of sin, even if we are ignorant that we are sinning at that moment. The Lord is not the author of confusion. He is the author of Life, and anything that comes into our existence that opposes the peace and serenity and the contentment of His life is coming from our carnal mind. Wrong thinking, wrong attitudes, wrong logic, wrong mechanism. Praise the Lord.
There is a lot of revelation coming forth these days. I want to write that down so I will remember it all. Wormwood judgment is Satan's imparted anointing. Now, remember that before Judah went into Wormwood judgment in Babylon the Lord sent Jeremiah the prophet to them, but they told him he was not of God, and they tried to kill him when he told them the truth. God help us. I am telling you, brethren; that I am before the Lord continually, not only saying, please let me have your thoughts in all things, but I am begging Him to correct every wrong thought in my mind. And, when I pray, the word please comes out of my mouth, and I correct myself every time. No, Lord, not just please, I am begging you, deliver me; reveal to me every thought that I am living by that is not from your mind because there is only death in it. I know that I could be wrong about anything, I could be wrong about a spiritual discernment, I could be wrong about a revelation that He gives me, I could be wrong about the motives of a person. There is not anything that I could not be wrong about. And I am having the victory that I am having today in my life, someone who should have been dead years ago, whose life was an absolute disaster on every level, I am walking in this victory today because He has given me the grace to understand what is His mind and to follow after and obey.
You cannot obey if you do not know what is Him and what is somebody else, and sometimes we can hear God's will for us in certain areas and not in other areas. Satan will stop you wherever she can. If she cannot stop you from following after Him as to how you spend your money, or if she cannot stop you from being obedient as to what church you go to, well, she will give it up. Alright, spend your money like He wants you to spend your money, alright, go to the church He wants you to go to, but when it comes to Christ being imparted to you, you could be completely blinded in that area. So, to cleave to a knowledge that you really hear from God in certain areas, and to take that knowledge to mean that you hear from Him in all areas, that is not the thinking of Christ, you see. That is wrong thinking; that is your carnal mind right in there, because I know that I can be deceived from second to second.
This is the whole purpose of why we need the Glorified Jesus Christ, because even if Christ is imparted to us, if He is woven together with our personality in some measure He is not fully mature in us until He is fully born again in us, and we would know when He is fully born again in us because we will stop being subject to infirmity and death, and we will stop being subject to all of the problems of this world, when He is fully born again in us. Even when He is fully born again in us, we must be joined or re-joined to the Glorified Jesus Christ. Well, that is the full birth. Christ Jesus matures in us and matures in us and matures in us, and then eventually He marries the Glorified Jesus Christ, and He is fully born again into the Kingdom of God, and, we, the personality that He is married to, ascends with Him. Praise the Lord. God help us along, we cannot make it without You, Lord. We will not make it, there is no mortal man that will make it without the Glorified Jesus Christ, you see. No matter how much wisdom you have. I have a lot of wisdom, but I know that I could be absolutely blind. At any time, I could be blinded. Jesus has to help me.
We are picking up with Verse 12b at the bottom of Page 4. And so the Spirit of Elijah, Adam's linear spirit within Samson's throat energy center, separated Adam within the mortal men of Judah from Satan's spiralline waters. Now, this is very interesting. We had some teaching at a couple of On-Line Meetings last year which brought the truth that Satan moves in a spiralline pattern, curves, spirals, but that Christ Jesus or any member of the household of God moves in a straight line. We know that Adam's geometrical expression is a parallelogram. His geometric expression is a four-sided image, the pairs of lines parallel to one another, and that a triangle is Satan's geometric expression, and that she moves in a spiralline pattern; therefore, we can say that if our carnal mind tries to escape from our own carnal mind....let us say the good side of our carnal mind tries to escape from the evil side, she will just get snared because....well, let me put this on the board for you.
We are looking at Drawing #1, and I have made this very simple. I have shown Satan's waters as a spiralline image, and I have shown the good side of the personality. The personality is made from earth, and the earth is Satan's major component. She is earth and water. So even the good side of our personality is in a spiralline format. So when we, out of our goodness, try to ascend above Satan we see that we get snagged in her waters. But when we try to ascend beyond Satan's influence with the Spirit of Christ which is a straight line, that straight line pierces right through the snags just like a sewing needle going through a piece of fabric. You cannot penetrate a piece of fabric with another piece of fabric, but you can penetrate a piece of fabric with a needle, and that is what Jesus was talking about.
As soon as we get this off the board, I am going to unlock for you the mystery of Jesus' parable about a camel going through the eye of the needle which He has just shown me. Are there any questions on this board? Again, it is a principle of homosexuality. See, the good side of our personality is spiritually female trying to pass through another spiritual female. Cannot be done, you see. You get snagged. What happens is the good side of you which is spiritually female gets snagged with Satan and becomes Satan's servant. As a matter of fact, the Lord is reminding me right now....there is such a spirit of revelation flowing here this morning, the Lord is reminding me right now that in the Alternate Translation of the New Testament, if anyone wants the Scripture I can find it for you, but there is a translation there....well, I do not know if it is the New Testament, it may from the Proverbs from the Old Testament, but there is an Alternate Translation that says, if you seek spiritual experiences outside of Christ you will meet Satan, and you will fall down under her power. And this is exactly what has happened here. The person who is trying to ascend above Satan or pass through Satan to a point of beyond her authority will contact Satan, and will get snagged by Satan and will become her servant.
Brethren, this is the truth. Many people in the world think that they have a gift, they can read cards or they can tell you the future, and they think that whoever this entity is that is giving them all this wisdom and knowledge, I have met people and I have seen them on TV that they think they are really controlling this entity, and that the entity or the "Genie in the Bottle" is serving them. Then, they take so many favors from this entity, and all of a sudden they find out that they are in bondage to the entity.
This is spiritual wisdom. Anyone that is spiritual knows this. The problem with Western society and Christendom is that we have become spiritually very ignorant. I do not believe it was ever the Lord's intention that we should become this ignorant, but, somehow, Judeo Christian society has fallen down into this intellectualism and secularism, and they give all of the glory, I am generalizing, of course, to their own selves. There is almost no spirituality, even in the church today. They think they are giving glory to God, but they are doing things out of their carnal mind, and they think it is God, but it is not God. What I am talking about here is deep spiritual truth. What I just tried to say really did not come out right.
The church is not spiritual. They are not spiritual, they are all in the works of the flesh, and I am not saying that is bad. There is a place to run shelters and help the homeless and feed the hungry, but what I am saying that because we have fallen from spirituality we now become vulnerable to Satan's spirituality. What I am saying is, if we were educated about spirituality we would understand why we should not get involved with Satan's spirituality because you can never ascend above Satan's spirituality with your own spirit. When you ascend into her spirituality, she will grab your spirit and weave you together with herself, and you will fall into a deep pit.
The only spirit that can pass through Satan, the only spirit that can give you spiritual experiences without being snared by Satan, is the Spirit of Christ. And the church is incredibly ignorant about spiritual things. The church and all of Western society, with some few exceptions, are very ignorant of the dangers of dabbling in the spiritual life without Christ and without holiness. You cannot have Christ if you do not have holiness. So if you think you have Christ, and you also think it is OK to be in fornication you have received a lie because it is not Christ, you see. If you are living with someone that you are not married to, you are not ascending in Christ. You have got another spirit that is telling you that it is Christ, but it is not Christ.
So, it is another form of spiritual homosexuality. A spiralline spirit cannot pass through another spiralline spirit. You are going to get snagged. One piece of cloth cannot pass through another piece of cloth, but a needle, a straight line, which is the spirit of Christ, can pass through a spiralline spirit without getting snagged.
All of the people today who think they are so sophisticated, and they are dabbling in Hinduism and Buddhism and Theosophy and whatever else they are dabbling in, they think they are very sophisticated, and they are experiencing ascension. But this is the ascension they are experiencing, they are ascending into the spiral, and when they get all the way to the top they are going to hit a blank wall, and there is going to be no place to go except down, and they are going to be curved around in the image of Satan. Cannot get through the wall. Cloth cannot get through cloth. A woman has no physical means to penetrate another woman. That is the message. Any questions on this board? I have another drawing for you.
Luke 18:25; For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God. Mark 10:25; It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God. Luke 23:24; Ye blind guides which strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Well, praise the Lord, brethren, I have to tell you that the King James translation or the King James translators did the best they could to make sense out of these Scriptures. But their carnal mind did not tell them the truth.
Jesus was not saying that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle....what He was saying is that it is easier for the needle to go through the opening rather than a camel. And that Greek word translated "eye" is Strong's #5168, and it means orifice which means opening, any opening; an orifice is any opening. So if you look at the illustration or the drawing, you will see that this world that we are a part of is a woven fabric, and I guess I should go over what I have written on the board with you. Let me do that.
As you can see, I have drawn our world as a grid. It is just a piece of woven fabric with a warp and a woof, and this is the spiritual wilderness. It is the background as if you have a piece of mesh, women or some men whoever wants to do petit point or weave a design into a piece of mesh and form a picture, this world has a background, and the background or the threads of earth. And it is supposed to be the Spirit of Christ weaving through the earthen part of the creation to form a visible world. We are a woven garment. We are, and the earth and the trees outside, everything on this planet is made of the same substance in different proportions and in a different configuration. There are certain...so many chemicals that are found in this world, and when I say a different configuration I mean that the proportions of some chemicals to other chemicals in man are related differently than the proportion of these chemicals in a tree or in the earth, but it is all the same chemicals that form our physical bodies, that form the wood that this house is made of, that form the trees and the animals. It is all the same substance.
I got into a hassle once with someone in an On-Line chat room, and it was a religion chat room, and this woman, I think it was a woman, she was really out to prove that there was no difference between the animals and human beings because science has proven that we are all made of the same substance. And she had me, and I had to pray. I said, Lord what do I say to her, and the Lord's answer to me was, human beings are of a different configuration. And this woman was fighting with everyone in the chat room, and when I told her that she would not talk to me after that. She talked to everyone else in the chat room, she would not say anything to me, so I know I definitely heard from God and it was the right answer.
The relationship between the different chemicals that form the creation are unique in man. The relationship of the chemicals of our substance, the patterns that the chemicals take, and their relationships to one another are not found in animals or in trees or in fish. This is what the binary code is based upon. What am I getting into here? The binary code is something that is used with computers. It is a code language, and there are only two numbers - a zero and a one, but there are potentially so many different statements that can be made by using these two numbers. You can have three zeroes and a one, two zeroes and two ones, five zeroes and one, one. Does anybody know what I am talking about? You can just make up so many combinations of the two numbers, zero and one, that a whole computer code is written. It is called the binary code, and it has to do with the relationships of the number zero to the number one, and how many zeroes you have and how many ones you have.
And this principle, or a principle very similar to it, is manifested in our genes. The genes that are on our chromosomes. There are only so many genes known to man. I do not know the number, I think it is a couple of hundred. I think there are several hundred genes known to man, but when the body or whoever is orchestrating, making, a man you can put these....let us say 300, that is not the right number, but let us say 300. You can use these 300 genes to relate to each other in so many different ways that you have millions of combinations of just these few genes. And that is how we are programmed to have blue eyes or blond hair or to be fat or skinny, to have a big nose or a little nose. It is all written in the programming of our genes, and there are only so many genes, but possibly an infinite or a very, very great number of combinations available of these genes.
What I am saying here is pretty much what I was saying on Drawing #1. The spiral spirit cannot pass through another spiral spirit, and the spiralline spirit is spiritually female. We have to have a spiritually male spirit to penetrate through a female spirit. The male spirit is linear, the female spirit is spiralline or circular, and we are trapped here. This world is a prison house for hurtful spirits. Our spirits are spiritually criminal right now. Does anybody know why our spirits are spiritually criminal? Because we are joined to Satan. The human spirit flows with Satan in our fallen condition. So we are in jail, you see, and this whole world is programmed in such a manner that it is a woven garment, there is a warp and a woof woven together, and our spirit is trapped in this world which the Scripture calls the desert. We cannot get out because our spirit is attached to our earthen personality and earthen physical body.
The Scripture calls us a camel, and the Lord has just revealed this to us. There is a lot of revelation coming forth today. I have been asking the Lord for years what the camel means because I work with the meanings of the individual letters in the Hebrew, and there is one letter which means camel's neck. Until today, I did not know the significance of that. The Lord has now revealed that the goat....I have been telling you for a long time now that the goat is the Devil, the goat is the personality who is in agreement with the carnal mind. That is what I have been telling you for a long time, and that is just another name for the Devil. But today, the Lord reveals that the goat is the personality that is on its evil side that is joined with the carnal mind, but there is also a company of people in this world who choose to do good, who choose to serve Jesus and do good. And that company of people who live on the good side of their carnal mind....of course, they are still joined to their carnal mind because we are all fallen, they are the camels. These people who choose to do good and resist Satan's waters are in a spiritual desert. The people who choose to be good and resist using Satan's power to accomplish and attain the blessings of this world. We do not have any water. Well, that is not us because we have found Christ, but this is generally speaking. People who have not received Christ or have not received the Holy Spirit. See, the water is either the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Christ.
Right now, I am in a spiritual desert. I see myself in this. If you are a camel....if you are resisting using Satan's power, you are in the desert until the Spirit of Christ pours forth. I was just telling someone the other day, it was probably somebody here, that sometimes it is just very hard walking this walk. Studying all the time, fasting from the things of this world does not bother me, but being under Satan's pressure and oppression is very hard. Several months ago I had the opportunity to go to a church where there was a visiting organist playing, and this man was so anointed that the Holy Spirit fell with such a wonderful spirit that I was up for three days, that heavy anointing of the Holy Spirit released my pressure of my warfare of fighting with Satan every day. We do not have that outpouring here, and as I told you the other day the reason we do not have it is that the Holy Spirit changed form in us. I remember when the Lord first took me out of the church where there was that tremendous outpouring, I sat down and cried. I said, Lord I want that back, and He spoke to me, and He said, that same Holy Spirit is in you in another form, and I did not know what He meant. That was 10 or 13-14 years ago. I did not know what He meant.
The gifts are passing away because the Holy Spirit is passing away because when Christ grafts to you the Holy Spirit passes away, and you begin to enter into a program of study and self-introspection. You enter into a program of study that will build Christ in you, and of looking into yourself to identify your sin nature so that you, the personality, can cleave to Christ when He kills your sin nature. And the Holy Spirit or the waters seem to have gone. We are in the desert, but there will be a piercing through. There will be a time when Christ will build in us to a point that the Spirit of Christ pours through. Not the Holy Spirit now, it is the Spirit of Christ. Does anybody remember the difference between the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Christ?
COMMENT: The Holy Spirit is the water and the energy, and the Spirit of Christ is the seed and the water combined.
PASTOR VITALE: Right. I will just make it clearer. That is true. First of all we are talking about Jehovah's seminal fluid which is appearing to us today as the glorified Jesus Christ, and all seminal fluid has two sides, water and seed. The Holy Spirit is the water or the energy side of Jehovah's seminal fluid which is the glorified Jesus Christ to us today. And the Spirit of Christ is the water and the seed.
Right now we have the seed here. We have that humble seed that has the potential to grow up into a great Tree of Life in immortality. The humble seed has the potential to grow up into immortality. The Holy Spirit does not have that potential. The Holy Spirit gives you power to be healed of physical diseases and emotional diseases, more physical than emotional, and to cast out demons. The Holy Spirit comes with gifts, but His primary purpose is to point you to Christ. His primary purpose is to cleanse you to the point that the seed of Christ, the humble seed can be grafted to you, and once that happens He tends to begin to leave you. Just like when a male sperm grafts to a female ovum, both the male sperm and the ovum cease to exist. We have a whole new entity called a zygote, the first cell of the new baby.
I can speak in tongues, but it is very rare that I speak in tongues. The gifts are passing away, and Christ in me is shining forth, but the Spirit of Christ which is in Christ does not shine to the degree that the Holy Spirit shines in a very anointed Pentecostal-type service. Well, what does that mean? Sheila, you must be deceived. No, I am not deceived. Christ in me is not mature enough yet to shine like the Holy Spirit shines. The Holy Spirit, you get Him just like He is. Now we each have different gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit that everybody gets. Christ is at all different ages of maturity. So, apparently, Christ Jesus in me is not mature enough for the Spirit of Christ to be pouring out with the intensity that we see the Holy Spirit pouring out. But I believe, from everything that the Lord has taught me, that day is coming that the Spirit of Christ will arise out of these long years of study and work and hardship. All we need is that anointing, and all of the torment and pain goes away. Sometimes I am in torment in my mind from Satan's affliction.
If there was a local church that had that kind of an anointing that I experienced of the Holy Spirit in this area, if the Lord would let me, I would go. I was up for three days. Felt wonderful, but there is no church with that kind of an anointing in this area. So I have to wait until the Spirit of Christ pours forth in me, whenever that will be. So I am in the desert, and everyone who is studying in this ministry who does not have that opportunity to be under that tremendous anointing of the Holy Spirit, you are in the desert with me because you have chosen to obey the Lord and pursue this course of study.
Now, please understand that the Spirit of Christ, when He breaks forth, will be greater than the greatest manifestation you have ever experienced of the Holy Spirit. Can you imagine that? I cannot even imagine it, because in an outstanding outpouring of the Holy Spirit there are all kind of healings and miracles. The Spirit of Christ can do more. The Spirit of Christ does everything that the Holy Spirit does plus He imparts the Life of Christ which is our potential for immortality. So, it is coming, but we do not have it now. I am in the desert. I have been in the desert for a long time.
So we see the people who are devoted to Christ and resisting Satan's illegal power....and let me remind you that her illegal power is not just talking about Satanism or voodoo, Satan's illegal power includes envy, malice of all kinds, pride, malignant pride that will blame someone else to get one's self off of the hook, pride that will not take responsibility for wrong doing. This is all Satanic power, so when you resist these sins you are a camel that is walking in the desert. And I want to tell you that if you want to get delivered from this world, you are not getting delivered from the right side of the heart center which is flooded with Satan's waters where you are signified as a goat. It is only the camels that are getting delivered. A camel can go for a long time without spiritual water. A physical camel can go for a long time without physical water, and a spiritual camel can go for a long time without spiritual water. It is dry around here.
Even when a tremendous anointing pours out here, it is a different anointing than in the Holy Ghost. It is a totally different thing, and it feels good, it calms me, it has many good effects on me, but it rarely lasts more than 24 hours, if that. So there is more coming, there is more coming.
The woven fabric of the spiritual world is a tapestry, and the spiritual man is the image in the tapestry. We are a goat if we are yielding to Satan's influence, and we are a camel if we are resisting her. And you must be one or the other. There is nothing in the middle; although, it is possible that you are resisting overall, but in certain areas you are blind. The camel is getting out of this world. The goat is not. But the whole man cannot get out.
There is a whole element of the church that thinks they are taking this physical body with them. This physical body is in the image of Satan. It is not going out. Just the spirit is going out. The Spirit of Christ that is in the Mind of Christ can penetrate the orifice. Eye means orifice, opening. If you see a camera, if you read the specs on certain cameras they will talk about the orifice, the eye of the camera that you look through to focus the image to take the picture. It is an orifice. Well, when you have a woven garment, there are little orifices, you see. This is the warp going horizontally, and the woof going vertically, and the warp and the woof create little squares. Each one of these squares is an orifice that can be penetrated. That is how a needle goes through a piece of fabric. A piece of fabric is a woven garment with threads going horizontally and vertically, and when you penetrate it with a needle to sew, the needle finds it way through these little holes. Does anybody not understand that?
The linear Spirit of Christ is the needle that can pass through the fabric of the tapestry of this fallen world which is a prison house. The camel cannot get through. The King James translation got it backwards. I do not fault them, but the carnal mind always gets it backwards. It is not easier for a camel to go through. It is easier for the needle to go through. A camel cannot make it through. Jesus was saying....I have not done an Alternate Translation, but He was saying something like, it is not so easy for a camel to get through the openings in the fabric of the spiritual tapestry, but the needle can get through the opening. Not the eye of the needle, the needle can get through the opening. The needle can get through the eye, the needle can get through the orifice.
So, if you want to get out of here, you have to have the Mind of Christ grafted to you, and the Spirit of Christ must mature enough in you to ascend beyond this criminal world into the true time line of Christ Jesus, and if you follow along that path long enough, and you mature enough, eventually your whole spiritual man will penetrate out of this world, and your physical body will cease to exist. That is what happened to Jesus.
You see, in this fallen world, when we die, when someone dies, the spirit leaves the body, and the physical body falls limp and, eventually, deteriorates and turns to dust. Is that not so? OK. Spiritually speaking, when the spiritual man penetrates beyond the tapestry of this world up into this high place of the true time line in the manner that Jesus Christ did....it was so complete, where His emergence and His departure from this world was so complete, brethren, the atoms that formed this physical body dissolved. They dissolve, and there is no dust. It would be as if that physical body never existed when the spiritual man departs.
So, the camel is not going out, but the ram is going out. Christ Jesus, the ram, is going out, but the camel stays in the desert. So Christ Jesus, the strong tower is the spiritual male who penetrates the female earth. This is the needle. Christ Jesus, the strong tower, the spiritual male who penetrates the female earth, is the needle. The whole man which is the camel cannot go through the orifice. The openings where the warp and the woof interweave are too small for the whole camel or the whole man to go through. Why? Because the whole man, which is made of the earth, is made of spiralline patterns of molecules. If I have a piece of cloth, I cannot put a cup through it. I could put a needle through it, but I cannot put a cup through it, I cannot put a plate through it, I cannot put my foot through it. Why? Because they are all broad, but the needle, the linear needle passes through the openings in the fabric.
So, the King James translators did the best they could. They saw a Greek word that could be translated "eye," and they saw a Greek word that could be translated "needle," and they thought it was the eye of the needle. The needle goes through the orifice. The carnal mind always gets it backwards, always, always, always, always gets it backwards. Are there any questions about this drawing?
There was one other Scripture there. I think it was the one that you read that is a little different. Can you read that for us again?
COMMENT: Matthew 23, Verse 24, Ye blind guide would strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.
PASTOR VITALE: OK, I picked out this verse because it had to do with a camel. I will comment on it briefly.
Jesus is rebuking the Pharisees, calling them blind guides. Brethren, do you know that we have a spirit guide, that if you have Christ you have a spirit guide. We do not hear that expression used in the church. It is usually associated with the Occult, and it is usually a bad thing that you have got a spirit guide influencing you, but Christ is our spirit guide. And whoever Christ is manifesting through is a guide to whoever Christ sends that personality to. Whatever personality has Christ living in them and is controlled by Christ, whoever Christ sends that personality to, that personality is a guide to that person. Christ is the spirit guide, and the personality that Christ dwells in is a guide to the person that He is sent to. A guide for what? A guide to the Kingdom of God. Oh, I thought all you had to do was ask Him to come in? No, you need a guide to get to the Kingdom of God because if you try to do it yourself, unless you have a special dispensation from the Lord saying that He will take you directly, which is not typical, you are going to wind up in the kingdom of darkness, and you are going to think it is the Kingdom of God, but it is going to be the kingdom of darkness.
Well, you say, do not you think I could tell the difference between the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness? And my answer to you, can you tell the difference between the hell of your fantasy...
Do you know that this world is hell? You think this world is a good place because you have a fantasy idea in your mind of what the true hell is, and you do not recognize that this is hell. Well, if you have some fantasy idea of what the Kingdom of God is, you can be in the kingdom of darkness and think that you are in the Kingdom of God.
Jesus was calling the Pharisees guides because, at that time, Israel was the physical guide to the world to Jehovah. That is the truth. Israel was the guides to the world to the one, true, and living God. And in this hour, the church is in that role. We are supposed to be the guides to the peoples of the world who do not know Jesus Christ, and Jehovah through Jesus Christ. And the church has a false message.
So if you have Christ in you, you are a guide, and if you are delivering the false message you are a blind guide. You are a blind guide because the message you deliver will never get them into the Kingdom of God. So Jesus is rebuking the Pharisees, and this is what He is saying, Ye blind guides. What kind of guides are you? And in another place He says, If you are blind, you are going to lead the blind, and you are both going to fall into the ditch. And what is the ditch? Anybody know what the ditch is? The ditch is the lower centers. You are going to fall into the ditch, you are going to fall into the lower centers.
This physical world is hell, but there are different levels of hell. I am in this physical world, I am in hell, but my consciousness, much of the time is in the fourth and fifth centers. But I have been in the lower centers. I have been in the lower centers, and, let me tell you, it is hell.
So this is what you do, Jesus says. You are blind guides, you are guides that have no spiritual light, and you strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Well, what a strange thing to say. The Greek word translated "strain" means to strain out, and the word "gnat" actually comes from two Greek words; one of which means to sting, and the other means to gaze, voluntary observation. Who has the sting? Who has the stinger in the Scripture? Can anybody tell us that? Who has the stinger?
COMMENT: Satan, the sting of death, and then the scorpions on the Son of God.
PASTOR VITALE: OK, I guess there is a sting on both sides, but I believe that what Jesus is saying here is that you look, voluntary observation, you look into the spirit, and you see the stingers of the Sons of God. You see that it is painful to put down your carnal mind and transfer into your Christ mind. You see the judgment of God coming to sting your carnal mind, and you strain it out.
That is just another way of Jesus saying, By your traditions, you make the power of God of no effect. By saying that you have the choice of whether you take care of your parents, you make the blessings that the law would bring upon you for honoring your parents, of no effect. If you do everything necessary to take care of your parents, but your heart is saying, I am doing it, it is not the law, I have no obligation to do it, but I am doing it. This is pride. And I am exaggerating now to help you understand. I am this great one, look at me, I take care of my parents. You see, if you acknowledge that it is an obligation, I am honoring my parents, but by exalting yourself and saying, it is not an obligation and making yourself a great one for doing it, you are cutting off all of the blessings that you should receive for honoring your parents and taking care of them. You are not a great one. It is an obligation. You have to do it.
So Jesus is saying, You see the sting of the Sons of God, you see the judgment, but you strain it out. Your pride strains it out, and, instead of receiving the judgment that is going to bring in the Spirit of Christ into your life and all of the blessings when you accept the responsibility. What responsibility? Of judging your own carnal mind. Instead of doing that, you, the camels, and we have already said who the camels are. The camels are the personalities who are living out of the good side of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and denying or refusing to use Satan's power to accomplish their goals in this world. You, the camels, swallow down Satan. It does not say Satan there, but I am telling you that this is what the spirit of revelation has told me that this verse means.
You are the camels, you blind guides; you are the camels. You are in the desert. Why do not you go all the way? You have the law of God, you have the Word of God, you are doing the sacrifices, you are doing everything, but you will not judge your carnal mind. You are cutting off the judgment that is going to accomplish everything that all these others things that you are doing are leading to. You have the Word, you have the law, you have the priests, you have the prophets, but if you do not submit to the judgment you are not going to receive the fruit that brings eternal life. You are straining out the fruit that brings eternal life by refusing the judgment. How do you refuse the judgment? How were they refusing the judgment? They are saying, I am righteous. I am righteous because I am taking care of my parents. I am righteous because I am tithing. I am righteous because I keep the law. That is how you strain out the judgment. That is what we were talking about this morning. I cannot go off the message right now, but it is the same principle. Ask the Lord to help you to understand it.
This is how they killed themselves spiritually, by straining out the judgment. So, you, the camels, you the ones that are on the good side of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, who are resisting using Satan's power, when you resist the judgment, when you strain out the judgment, you swallow down Satan's waters.
Brethren, there is nothing in the middle. It is either one way or the other, you see. As soon as you resist the judgment, Satan floods in on you, and we had an exhortation on the flood at the beginning of this message on. This does not mean that if one day you are resisting the judgment, Satan floods in on you. This is talking about an overall attitude which is not true of you. If your overall attitude is that you refuse the judgment, you who are a camel, someone who is serving God in the desert, hoping for deliverance, you are cutting off all of your deliverance and all of your blessings by straining the judgment out, and that the next thing that happens after that is that Satan comes flooding in on you.
This is what Noah's flood was all about, with the beings that lived on the other side of the flood which were the descendants of Seth. I believe that, consistently, this is the problem with people who have served God. Some people are willing to put up with all kinds of persecution to serve God, all kinds of sacrifice and loss, financial loss, loss of a career, all kinds of loss, but when it comes to judging the hidden sins of the heart, when it comes to having Satan in their own unconscious mind exposed, they strain out the judgment. And the result is that somewhere along the line they swallow down Satan's power. Is there anybody here that did not understand what I just said?
We are having some very deep revelation today of what Jesus meant with these statements that seem to make no sense at all. But, of course, we do not really know what Jesus said. This is the King James translation of what He supposedly said. I do not believe Jesus said, you are going to swallow down a camel. How could you swallow down a camel? The camel is going to swallow down, but the word "Satan" is missing. And I have told you this many times, that there are words missing in the Scripture, there are words missing in the Hebrew, so this is not even a Greek situation. If you do not have the revelation of what the Scripture is talking about, you will not be able to put in the missing word, and you will never understand it.
See, this Scripture....come out of her, I rebuke you in the Name of Jesus....this Scripture, even the Hebrew Scripture which is much more accurate than the Greek Scripture, is abbreviated. It is a point of contact that is intended to be brought to life by the Spirit of Christ. To read this Word, even to read the Alternate Translation Bible which has come forth under the spirit of revelation, to read that without the Spirit of Christ operating in you it is a dead book. It is a point of contact that is designed to be used by the Spirit of Christ within you to bring forth revelation and enlightenment in your personal vessel. If you read it without the Spirit of Christ, it might hurt you if your carnal mind uses it against you, but I do not know. But I know that to do the work that it is designed to do, you, the reader, must be reading by the Spirit of Christ.
Now, if you do not have the Spirit of Christ, and the Lord directs you to this Alternate Translation, well, then you read it. I know when I first came to the Lord I could not bear reading the King James translation. I did not understand a word of it, especially the Old Testament. It was painful for me to read it, but I set myself a goal, and I read so many chapters a night. It was painful. I was squirming all over the place while I was reading it. It was less than a year, I think after about 8 months, I had a breakthrough. After I did that labor, after I performed that sacrifice, because I believed it was what God wanted me to do, after about 8 months, the spirit of revelation appeared in my mind, and I started to understand, and I have not stopped yet. And I pray the spirit of revelation never stops working in me.
Is there anyone who does not understand that the word "Satan" is missing? That it is a mystery that Jesus is saying, that you, the camel, will swallow down Satan if you strain out the judgment that will reveal Satan in your own heart. Look brethren, if you refuse to identify Satan in your own heart and our own mind and your own thoughts, that means that you are preferring her over Christ, and you, therefore, swallow her down. You see, you had to reject Satan to become a camel. Symbolically speaking, a camel, someone whose personality is living on the good side of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and living a life of abstinence of sin to the best of your ability, waiting for the Spirit of God to bring life to you, water in the desert, and when you come to that desert place just as the Hebrew children did it is the time to have Satan who you have restrained up until this point, you have restrained Satan, now the Lord wants you to recognize that she is not outside of you, but that she is within you, and He wants you to face the thoughts that she is generating in you that you have not restrained because you never knew they were from her. You know murder is from her, you know armed robbery is from her, you know homosexuality is from her, you know adultery is from her, but it is not so easy to recognize envy, manipulation, or pride in your every day thoughts.
So, you have come this far, the Lord is identifying you as a camel. You have resisted Satan's waters, and now you are at a cross road. Either you will recognize her in the nitty-gritty thoughts of your everyday conversation and continue to defeat her, or, if you do not do that, the measure of Satan that you have had under control all these years will rise up like a flood, and you will swallow her down, or she will swallow you up. I have not really studied this out. I guess she will swallow you up. Satan will swallow you, the camel up, and you will not be a camel any more. You will be a goat. Is that awesome? I think that is an awesome understanding. I really thank you, Lord, for that understanding.
Also, as I was drawing this morning, the Lord gave me a revelation on what happened when Moses struck the rock instead of speaking to the rock. I will remind you that the Hebrew children were in the wilderness which is the desert, and they were thirsty, and they were complaining, and they wanted water. I have told you many times that I do not know if the Hebrew children were in a physical desert or not. I would not argue with anyone over it. I know that the historians and the archeologists claim that Mount Sinai has never been located, and that the Sinai desert has been poured over by archeologists, and there has not been found any sign whatsoever of the Hebrew children crossing that desert.
Now, it could have happened in the physical, but I am a spiritual teacher, brethren, and I believe that the whole account of the Hebrew children in the wilderness was spiritual. It may have been physical also or not. It may have been physical also or not. I will not argue with you about it. If you want to believe it was physical, maybe it was. I do not know. But I know that it was also spiritual, and we did a whole series on Moses during which the Lord revealed that the Hebrew children had been enslaved by the mystery religion of the Egyptians, and that the spiritual definition of Pharaoh....does anybody remember the spiritual definition of Pharaoh? We had this in a recent message. You remember huh, good for you.
COMMENT: The name of somebody ascended to the 7th level of ascension in Satan's time line.
PASTOR VITALE: Well, you are close. Let us hear what she has to say.
COMMENT: I think it was Leviathan.
PASTOR VITALE: Well, if I put both your answers together, we have the answer.
Pharaoh was the name of Leviathan when he is married to the Fiery Serpent who is ascended into the 7th energy center. Leviathan becomes Pharaoh. So we see that the Hebrew children that were dwelling in Egypt, and I am inclined to believe that they were physically dwelling in Egypt, I do not know where to draw the line with this physical/spiritual, but I believe they were physically dwelling in Egypt. They were overtaken, the Christ mind in them or Adam who was regenerated in them, was overtaken by the mystery religion of Egypt, and they were engaged in witchcraft practices. The Fiery Serpent was ascended all the way into the 7th energy center where she becomes the swine, and she marries Leviathan who becomes Pharaoh. And when Moses led them out of Egypt, physical or not, what happened to them spiritually was that the Fiery Serpent was cast down in them. How can you say that Sheila? Well, Pharaoh was defeated, and Pharaoh was killed in the Red Sea. Well, how was Pharaoh killed in the red sea? How did Leviathan cease to become Pharaoh?
Now remember, our definition of Pharaoh is Leviathan married to the Fiery Serpent ascended into the 7th energy center. So if the Fiery Serpent is cast down out of the 7th energy center, Pharaoh dies, and he becomes just Leviathan again. If you can hear it. And every time the Hebrew children departed from Egypt, Pharaoh let them go, the Fiery Serpent descended, and then the Scriptures say that Pharaoh went out after her again. Pharaoh descended down into the....I do not know how low down she goes into the 4th center or even the 3rd center looking to get the Fiery Serpent back and raise her back up to the 7th center again. Why? So that Leviathan can be Pharaoh.
Pharaoh was drown in the Red Sea. It probably means the Spirit of Christ. Pharaoh is not going to drown in Satan, not going to drown in Satan's sea. Leviathan is at home in Satan's sea. So, if he was drown in the Red Sea he had to be drown in the Spirit of Christ. Adam's color is red, and the Spirit of Christ is within Adam, or in the Old Testament we would see Elohim. Was in the regenerated Adam, so the Spirit of Christ typifies....I am sorry, the Red Sea typifies Elohim.
Well, you do not even have to believe this. If you are listening to this message or if you are sitting here in this room, you do not have to believe this revelation if you do not want to, but can I invite you to follow along with this line of thinking so that we can investigate what really happened when Moses smote the rock? I have never believed the parable that we read here, that Moses did not inherit because he hit the rock instead of talking to the rock. Do you really think he was to talk to a physical rock, and that because he hit a physical rock that he did not inherit? Come on now, I do not believe in Santa Claus any more either.
So, we see the Hebrew children are in a spiritual wilderness. They are in a spiritual desert, they have become camels. Pharaoh, the Fiery Serpent ascended into the 7th energy center, is the swine. When she marries Leviathan, Leviathan becomes Pharaoh, and the personality that is joined to Pharaoh is the goat, also known as the Devil. So when Moses came in he killed a man, you see. Personally, I believe he killed that goat. That is what I really think happened, but I cannot get into that right now because I have not studied it. He cast down the Fiery Serpent in a man. The man lost his spiritual power. That is why they were so angry with him, that is why the Hebrews were so angry at him, he stripped them of their spiritual power.
Well, we see that Jehovah sent him back to challenge Pharaoh in the minds of the Hebrew children, and that when Moses brought down Pharaoh the Hebrew children followed him. Brethren, the same thing is going to happen today in this world. The Lord is raising up a Moses company, Moses and Aaron, He is raising up a two-witness company, and when that company is ready He will send them to people who believe that they love Jesus Christ, but do not really understand what the love of Jesus Christ is. Love is total submission and obedience, and you cannot submit to Jesus Christ with your carnal mind. So the true love of God is a submission to the judgment that will destroy your carnal mind so that the Son of the glorified Jesus Christ can be reproduced in you. That is the true love of God. If you love Me, you are going to do what I say. If you do not do what I say, that means you do not love me, see.
So, when this Moses company is ready the glorified Jesus Christ is sending this Moses company to the people who have the Holy Spirit who think that they love Jesus, and really believe that they are serving Him with all of their strength. But they are in their carnal mind, and they have the Holy Spirit. And Jesus is sending this Moses company to these people, one at a time. This kind of ministry goes to a person, one at a time. One person at a time, and that Moses company is going to cast down that Fiery Serpent. I think it is going to take a whole group of us. Going to cast down that Fiery Serpent. We are going to kill Pharaoh, and she is going to become just plain Leviathan again which is bad enough. And when that Fiery Serpent is cast down, that person will believe the Word of the Lord about the Doctrine of Christ and about the truth of the judgment of the hidden sins of your heart.
So, Moses and Aaron were raised up to a high spiritual place, much higher than we are now, and they were sent to the children of Israel. How many people they were sent to, I tend to have my doubts that they were sent to thousands of people at one time. I know that tradition says there were a couple of million people that came out of Egypt. I am not convinced of that, simply because I know what is involved in casting down the Fiery Serpent in somebody and killing Pharaoh. I know what is involved. I know how hard it is, I know how long it takes. So I have a problem believing that Moses and Aaron did this for a couple of thousand people, if not a million people at once. There is something I am not understanding here, but probably the truth is that this account of Moses, at least in some measure of it, is a parable. It is just a parable that is giving the information about this great work that was done for the Hebrew children. Maybe Moses....well obviously was more powerful than I am at this time, maybe he raised up people more quickly, and then all the people spread out and helped others. I do not know, but I believe that the way the story is written, it is primarily written to impart this knowledge to those who have the spirit of revelation, to look past the parable of how Israel, and we are spiritual Israel today, will regain the land that we lost. How we will get back up into the brow (6th) energy center and retain the spiritual power that was lost, both to Judah and to Israel, and the power is through the death of your carnal mind. That is when the power comes.
So, Moses was in the desert with these people. They were all camels. He had cast down the Fiery Serpent in them, Pharaoh was killed, the people were no longer partaking of Satan's witchcraft power, and they were thirsty for the spiritual life. I want to tell you, I am thirsty for the spiritual life. I have experienced great glory in God. I have seen God do very exciting things through me, but only a few times over my about 21 years in God, and for these last 12 years my assignment has been to study. I spend hours in front of my computer studying and teaching and helping other people see the hidden sins of their heart. There has not been great miracles in this ministry. There have been miracles but not outstanding miracles. I am a miracle that I am still alive, that I am healthier every day. I am a miracle. We have had some healings here but nothing miraculous, nothing outstanding, no exciting outpouring of the spirit. I have been in the desert for a long time. I have been in the desert for about 15 years, 15-16 years. I was raised up in a church where it was raining all the time, and then it stopped raining in that church, and then the Lord pulled me out, and then He started this ministry, and I have been in the desert all of this time.
So we see that Moses and the people that he was ministering to were in the desert. He had cast down their Fiery Serpent, they were not partaking of Satan's spiritual power, and he was educating them. That was the manna. That was the hidden manna. I am telling you, and I told you this in the Moses series, they were hungry for spiritual things, and he gave them the hidden manna, and they called it light bread, and they despised it. Why did they despise it? It exposed their sin. It exposed their sin nature, and it took the focus away from the person outside of them and put the focus upon themselves.
Every evil in our life is a reaping of some evil that we have sown. Jesus said, the prince of this world cometh, and he has nothing in me. Jesus sowed no evil, and He reaped no evil; therefore, when evil men killed His physical body the spiritual man lived. The King James translation says that the Hebrew children in the desert lusted for the garlic and the leeks of Egypt, but I declare to you, brethren, that in another Scripture it says that Pharaoh, not only required his slaves to make bricks, but he required them to make bricks without straw. And do you really think Pharaoh really fed these slaves garlic and leeks? Wake up church, wake up, wake up, wake up!
So we see the Hebrew children complaining that they did not have meat. They did not have deep spiritual doctrine. They had to start out small. After the Fiery Serpent was knocked down in them, you have to start at the beginning. This Doctrine of Christ has been unfolding here, formally, for 12 years now. Some people can come in with these recent messages and gleam something from them. Some people can get enough out of these messages to be listening to the latest messages, but some people cannot understand a word that I am saying. If you are one of those people you have to start with message #1.
So, they did not want to start with message #1. They wanted the meat. They wanted to go out to ministry right away. They wanted to counsel people right away. They did not want to settle down and live the life that I, and you with me, well you are with me here almost 9 years, all of you, I have been in this ministry for 12 years. They did not want to settle down to this life, this dry life in the desert with no outpouring of the spirit, no dancing. So they wanted water. They wanted spiritual experiences, and they murmured and they complained to Moses, and Moses went before the Lord. He said the people are moaning and groaning for the spiritual waters. They are missing the spiritual life. And I want to tell you what Jehovah said to Moses. Let us take a look at Numbers, Chapter 20, Verse 11. We will start with Verse 2. And there was no water for the congregation, and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and the people contended with Moses and spake saying, would God that we had died when our brethren died before the Lord, and why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness that we and our cattle should die here, and wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt to bring us in unto this evil place. It is no place of seed or of figs or of vines or of pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink. And you think they ate like that in slavery in Egypt? Figs and vines, that means grape vines, and pomegranates? No way, brethren.
And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces, and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them, and the Lord spake unto Moses saying, take the rod and gather thou the assembly together, thou and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes, and it shall give forth his water, and thou shall bring forth to them water out of the rock. So thou shall give the congregation and their beasts to drink. And Moses took the rod from before the Lord and commanded him, and Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, hear now, ye rebels, must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice, and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank and their beasts also. And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron saying, because ye believed Me not to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel; therefore, ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. This was the water of Meribah, because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and He was sanctified in them.
Now, that has been a mystery to me for years. I have not done an Interlinear work-up on this so my interpretation is going to be lacking, but I am going to basically show you what the Lord has shown me. Back in Verse 2, so there was no water for the congregation. There was no spirit, they were in the desert. The Fiery Serpent was cast down into the second energy center, and there was no spiritual activity. And they gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron. Brethren, to gather yourself together against your leaders cannot be done in the Mind of Christ. What this Scripture is saying is that all of the people were in agreement in their carnal mind that Moses and Aaron had evil motives and had done evil towards them. That is what it means, to gather yourself together. They were gathered together into one mind, as one man.
Verse 3, and the people contended with Moses and spake saying, would God that we had died when our brethren died before the Lord. What does it mean to die before the Lord? It means that the regenerated Adam died in them. I wonder if they were not talking about Korah. They were saying, who needs this walk with Christ? Or maybe they were talking about Korah or....I do not know exactly where this verse fits in, in the time table here or whether it came after some of the Israelites were bitten by Fiery Serpents and died. Remember that the Hebrews that were bitten by Fiery Serpents, what had happened to them was their Fiery Serpent had gotten loose from the control of the regenerated Adam, and they were stung with the sting of death. They agreed....the sting was that they agreed with the sin in their mind, and as soon as we agree with our carnal mind, Christ begins to die. So the thousands that died in the wilderness died to their spiritual life in Christ which was the regenerated Adam in them.
So, we see these people saying to Moses and Aaron, well, this is really a hard life here. Brethren, I am not going to lie to you, this is a hard life. As far as I am concerned, it is worth it, but I look forward to the day that springs of water flow forth in the desert, and that is one of the promises that the Spirit of Christ will flow forth in the desert, that we are going to live in this desert world, and we are going to resist Satan until the waters of Life flow forth. We are going to do without, we are going to fast until the true waters of Life flow forth. But these people were complaining, and they were saying, I do not like this life in the desert, I do not like working 15 hours a day, I do not like the grief of having someone's carnal mind oppose me and feeling the pressure in my heart. I do not like it. I want to go around saying, God is love, God is love, God is love, just open your heart, and He will come in, and we will dance together. I do not want this truth. I do not want to see the sin in your heart. Sin is ugly where ever you see it. I do not want this life. I should have died. Why did not the Fiery Serpent sting me? What did you save me for? You should have let the Fiery Serpent sting me, I would have gone back to Egypt, Pharaoh would have been raised up in me again, and I would have been enjoying the spiritual power of Egypt.
Verse 4, and why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness that we and our cattle should die here. The word cattle is referring to the personality and the physical body. Why have you brought us up, why have you brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness? So, we see that there was an ascension. After the Fiery Serpent was cast down to the second energy center, there was an ascension. Now remember, the left side of the heart (4th) energy center is dry land. The left side of the heart center is dry land. I believe that these Hebrews must have been in the left side of the heart center.
So, we have to get beyond the heart center if we want the outpouring of the spirit, but we have to work our way through, we have to pass through the land, we walk and we exist in the left side of the heart (4th) center which is dry land until we ascend into the brow (6th) center. The 5th center, the throat center, is spiritual power, but I believe the outpouring of the Spirit of Christ comes with the 6th center. We have to ascend into the 6th center, and how fast you get there depends on many factors. The most important factor is how strong your guide is. If you have a guide that is already in the 6th center, that has the power to step on your carnal mind, you will get there much faster than if your guide is only in the 4th or the 5th center himself.
So, we do not know how fast other believers are going to be able to enter into the Kingdom of God once the saviors that come forth from Mt. Zion are already in their brow energy center. I do not know how fast it will be. Maybe it will be in a couple of months. I do not know, I honestly do not know.
We see that these Hebrew children were complaining that Moses brought the congregation of the Lord into the wilderness, into the left side of the heart center, and they were saying that their personality and their physical body was going to die. Brethren, is that not a main issue in the church today? Large elements of the church do not want to believe that this physical body will die, and the whole church does not want to believe that the personality will die.
So, these Israelites were being instructed in the Doctrine of Christ, and they were being told that their physical body and their personality would die. And they did not like that doctrine. They said to Moses, this is what you delivered us from Egypt for? To give us this doctrine, that this body is going to die, and my personality is going to die, and I am not going to see my mother or my beloved wife who died 15 years ago? I do not want to hear this. I had rather believe the fantasy, that my body is going to be....that my bones are going to be dug up, and the physical flesh is going to come back on my bones, and then I am going to see my whole family that died when I get to heaven. I do not want to hear this doctrine, what are you telling me this for? That is what they were saying to Moses. This is what you delivered me from Egypt for?
Verse 5, and wherefore have you made us to come up out of Egypt to bring us unto this evil place. It is no place of seed or of figs or of vines or pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink. As I told you, I have not done an in-depth study, but I suggest what the Hebrew children are saying here is that it is a place of no spiritual experiences. There is no seed so they are denying that Christ is grafted to them, they are denying that Abel...this was after the covenant at Mt. Sinai, at which time Jehovah told them that the Tree of Life was imparted to them. I am sure that Moses instructed them about the promised seed, the seed that was promised to Abraham and manifested in Isaac and delivered to Jacob, and I am sure that Moses told them that this seed that was now in the children of Israel was about to manifest. There is no seed, there is no promised seed, they are saying, Christ is not here.
We know that Christ manifested in David who was to come generations later. They were saying, you lied to us, there is no promised seed, where is this Holy Seed? We gave up our spiritual power that was from Satan because you told us that story about the seed that Jehovah promised would manifest in the Tribes of Israel, but there is no seed. Where is the seed that will give us wisdom and pour forth the Spirit of Christ here in the desert? It is all a lie, it is not true. We are not willing to wait for the promise.
That is what they were saying to him. There is no seed, neither is there figs. Now you may remember that....does anyone remember what the fig tree signifies and why Jesus cursed the fig tree? The fig tree signifies Israel, and the reason Jesus cursed the fig tree....well first of all, the fig tree that Jesus cursed was not a physical tree in his back yard. Jesus did not wake up in the morning and decide that He wanted figs for breakfast, and went to some physical fig tree and killed the poor tree because there were no figs that season. That is not what happened.
The fig tree signifies the imputed Christ in Israel. It signifies the carnal mind under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Israel was signified by a fig tree, the carnal mind under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Christ is not divided, Christ is an olive tree, one solid pit. Figs have many seeds. Jesus woke up, well I do not know exactly what the Scripture says. I think it says that Jesus went out, and He looked at the fig trees in the minds of His disciples. He looked at the spiritual being of His disciples, and He saw that their mind was a fig tree, a carnal mind under the influence of the Holy Spirit, but that there was no fruit there. Christ had not come forth.
As a result of all of these thousands of years of Israel being under the influence of the Holy Spirit, Christ was not present in these men, and He, therefore, cursed that carnal mind, even that carnal mind which was under the influence of the Holy Spirit, and said, you will die, and the Tree of Life, the olive tree will come forth in your place. What Jesus was saying was, because of My sacrifices, Messiah, that was the whole purpose of manifesting Messiah to Israel. The fruit had not come forth, and why did the fruit not come forth because Israel, by and large, was straining out the judgment of the hidden sins of their heart. They kept the law, they had the Word, they did the rituals, but the fruit, Christ, did not come forth because they would not go in and see Satan in the very nitty-gritty thoughts of their everyday interchanges with other people.
So, Jesus cursed it. He said, you have had 5000 years of this, and you could not bring forth Christ. You cannot judge Satan in your own heart well enough to bring forth Christ. I know that you failed to destroy Satan in your own mind, to expose her and destroy her. How do I know? Because Christ is not there. Therefore, Jesus was saying, I know I am about to be glorified, and I will come back as a glorified spirit, and I will reproduce My perfect life which is the life of the regenerated Adam in you. You cannot do it by yourself, you, with your carnal mind, you will never judge the hidden sins of your heart, and you will never produce Christ; therefore, I am going to regenerate Adam in you, and with Adam comes the spirit of Adam which is the Spirit of Elijah for the Israelites or for the Jews, and that Christ child that is going to be born in you, that man child that I am going to impregnate you with, He will be your ability to overcome your carnal mind because you could not bring forth Christ of yourself; therefore, I will give you Christ. I am going to graft the Christ that is in Me to you. It is going to be in you. You do not have to start Him from seed because every time you try to start Him from seed, you failed, so I am going to give Him to you. And you will no longer be a fig tree, but you will be an olive tree.
When? The olive tree that I graft to you swallows up the fig tree within you. So Jesus cursed the fig tree before Christ was ever grafted to His disciples, saying, I have already started the process. I have pronounced death upon your carnal mind. So when Christ is grafted to you, you have already got the upper-hand, your carnal mind is already withering.
So the Hebrew children are telling Moses in the desert that there is no seed, you lied to us about that, neither is there a fig tree, I do not see the Holy Spirit anywhere. So there is no Christ, and there is no Holy Spirit, neither is there a vine. Jesus said, I am the true vine. They are saying, I do not see the life of God in me at all. I gave up my spiritual life in Satan, and I am starving to death and dying of thirst, no spiritual experiences, everything you told us is a lie. Neither do we see any pomegranates. Now, at the moment I am not sure what that means. I know a pomegranate is sometimes called a Chinese apple. It is a red fruit with many, many seeds, and the flesh around the seed is all red. It probably means the body of Christ, but I am not sure.
Neither is there any water to drink, they say. No Holy Spirit, no fig tree, no carnal mind completely drenched with the Holy Spirit and neither any Holy Spirit. And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces, and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them, and the Lord spake unto Moses saying, take the rod and gather thou the assembly together.
Does anybody remember what it means to gather the assembly together? We had this in the on-line meetings recently. An assembly is a congregation, and we found out that the true definition of congregation or assembly is first of all to have a leader through whom Christ Jesus or in the Old Testament, it would be the regenerated Adam and Elohim, is speaking. You have to have a physical leader, and you have to have the Mind of God in that leader. You have a group of people, and Christ Jesus in that leader is drawing forth the spirit and mind of those people, gathering them, assembling them, unto himself. Christ Jesus in the leader is drawing the spirit from all of the people so that a temporary body of Christ forms, a cloud, a great cloud of witnesses. Who is the witness? Who is the faithful witness? Christ is the faithful witness.
So all of the spirits of the group of people are gathered unto that strong leadership that is coming forth from Christ Jesus within a man so that you have one collective mind, one collective Mind of God called the body of Christ.
And the Lord, that is Jehovah, spake unto Moses saying, take the rod. The rod means your tongue, and your tongue signifies your mind. Jehovah said to Moses, get into your Mind of Christ and gather the whole assembly unto you because they are all in their carnal mind. The Christ mind would never be saying this junk to you. Take your Christ mind, take up your Christ mind and gather the assembly together unto you, bring them into their Christ mind.
And Aaron, thy brother, speak ye unto the rock before their eyes. The rock signifies Christ or the regenerated Adam in the Old Testament. And speak to the rock before their eyes. I do not remember what that word "eyes" means. I just looked at the Interlinear Text briefly, but, basically, what this is saying is that Jehovah said to Moses, they want all of these things, they do not have them because they are in their carnal mind, and they have not yet received the Mind of Christ because it was not really going to manifest....well, I am not going to say that right now. They were in their carnal minds. They had the potential to receive all of these things through spiritual union with Moses and Aaron, but they were all thinking that they were going to get it individually while they were in their carnal minds, and Jehovah is saying to Moses, these promises for this group of people at this time will manifest through a collective anointing with you, Moses and Aaron as the head. You, Moses and Aaron, as the physical men through which the regenerated Adam and Elohim will manifest themselves to these people. They have to get it through you. It is not going to fall on them in the wilderness. It is coming through the headship at this time.
So, Jehovah said, gather all the people unto yourself, and I am going to show them the spiritual world of Christ, and that is the Hebrew word translated eye. It can be translated the visible world or the mental and spiritual facilities of Christ. Jehovah said, I am going to show it to them. I am going to give them a taste of the promises, but they have to get it through spiritual union with you. They have to take communion with you to get it. Take the rod and gather the assembly together, you and Aaron, your brother, and speak unto the rock before their eyes and let Christ Jesus speak. Manifest Christ Jesus, and let them see the visible world of Christ. When you gather the spirits of all of these people in Israel unto yourself, and the collective body of Christ is formed it shall give forth His water. The anointing will fall when they submit to you, when they give up their carnal minds. When they yield to you, the regenerated Adam and the Spirit of Elohim will manifest the kingdom of God to them.
So, we see that the Hebrew children had wrong thinking. They were thinking they were going to get this experience individually from the Lord, and they were resisting Moses and Aaron all along, resisting his authority. It is manifesting today. Resisting coming together in a group because everybody is a Lone Ranger, and nobody wants to submit to the authority of the church today.
And He shall give forth His waters; that is the Spirit of Christ. And you shall bring forth to them, water out of the rock, the Spirit of Christ. So thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts to drink. The word beasts is talking about their personality. The congregation is the cloud, the collective Adam, or in this dispensation the collective Mind of Christ Jesus, the collective Christ Jesus, that is the congregation, and the beasts are the personalities. This is where the promises are at this time, Jehovah said, in the collective anointing with you and Aaron as head. And it is not going to be any place else.
And Moses took the rod from before the Lord as He commanded him. Moses laid hold of the Mind of Christ that the Lord had given him. And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock. The rock is the regenerated Adam. So they had a meeting, probably he was preaching. How do you gather the spirits of the whole congregation unto yourself? He must have been preaching. He must have been preaching the Doctrine of Christ.
When I sit here, and I preach the Doctrine of Christ, either the spirit in you is going to respond to me or another spirit is going to rise up, and we have a rule in this congregation that if you are not in a spiritual place where your human spirit responds to the Spirit of Christ and comes forth when I call Him by preaching the Doctrine of Christ, you are not mature enough to be in this meeting because we cannot have someone sitting here without their wedding garment on. Because, you see, this is a marriage here tonight, and every time we get together we take communion, we have intimacy with Christ Jesus, we take communion, and we experience a measure of the wedding. The person that is sitting in here that cannot flow, that is not willing to yield up their spirit to me, you are sitting here without a wedding garment on. It means you are not in the Christ mind, you are in your carnal mind, and you cannot deprive this local fellowship and all of the other people who get the messages and who read the transcripts on the Internet from what Christ Jesus is doing here because you want to come in without a wedding garment.
And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, Moses took the Mind of Christ or the regenerated Adam from Jehovah as Jehovah had commanded him, and Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock. What that means is they gathered together the body of Christ or the regenerated Adam, and He said unto them, well it does not say who said it, you see. So I bet you that is the regenerated Adam or Christ Jesus saying that. I do not think Moses said that. And He said unto them, here now you rebels. Christ showed them their sins.
The regenerated Adam manifested, and the first thing he did was expose rebellion. You see, when you want to have a relationship with Christ or with a man who is given over to service in Christ, your sins are going to be exposed very quickly because there is no way that you can have a relationship with Christ Jesus or with a man who is manifesting Christ Jesus when you are in a wrong spirit towards them. There is no way that you can have a relationship with someone who is walking with Christ when your heart is carnal towards them. Because a personality or a man who is literally living for Christ is in the Mind of Christ most of the time, and what fellowship does the Mind of Christ have with the carnal mind? So, if you want a relationship with me you have to have some measure of your Christ mind working, and if your carnal mind works I bring a correction.
You cannot relate to me here with your carnal mind. You have to be willing to take the correction, and taking that correction forces your Christ mind to the surface. I will not have a relationship with your carnal mind. You are all disciples of Christ. I have a relationship with Christ in you. I do not accept your carnal mind, I reject her in our personal relationship; therefore, if you relate to me in a wrong way I must tell you because when I show you that you related to me in a wrong way, it pushes your carnal mind down and Christ comes up.
Well, Adam manifested, a collective manifestation of Adam, and the first word that He said was the revelation that they were in rebellion. Now if they would have repented, if the Hebrew children would have repented, their carnal mind would have gone down and Christ would have come up in them and glory would have poured out.
Hear now, ye rebels, must we fetch you water out of this rock? I do not believe that was a question. I looked at it briefly in the Interlinear Text. You are in rebellion, and there is water in this rock. What you want is in this rock, but you are in rebellion. You are in the wrong spirit. You cannot get this water with violence. You have to humble yourself and confess your sins and receive it as a gift. You have no power to receive this grace from God. Now remember, these Hebrew children had been high in witchcraft, and witchcraft is an aggressive discipline. Witchcraft takes whatever it wants by the spirit in a secret place. Takes someone's husband if it wants it, takes a woman that is not interested in that man even though she does not want you, takes a job away from another person. Witchcraft is an aggressive discipline, and the regenerated, collective, Adam said to them, you are rebels, and you cannot steal this water of Christ. You cannot force this water of Christ, you cannot attain it with violence. You must confess your sins and repent to receive it.
Verse 11 says, and Moses lifted up his hand and with his rod he smote the rock twice. Can anyone tell us what the hand signifies in the Scripture?
COMMENT: The subconscious mind.
PASTOR VITALE: The subconscious part of the mind, that is right.
Once again, I have not done an in-depth study in the Interlinear Text. And Moses lifted up his....and who is the subconscious mind. It is the Fiery Serpent. And the Fiery Serpent ascended. I guess I really should take a look at this in the Interlinear Text before I go any further. Let me do that.
I have taken out our Interlinear Text here. I am looking in Verse 10, and I see that the Interlinear Text does support what I said by revelation, that it was the rock who spoke. And Moses and Aaron gathered together the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, and I said to you that it must have been Adam within Moses speaking, and the Interlinear Text does support that, that it was the regenerated Adam that spoke unto them. And what Adam said was, he showed them their sins. The word hear means understand. He said, understand now that you are rebels. He was asking them to confess their sins and repent so that he could bless them. He said, I want you to understand that this whole attack on Moses and Aaron was rebellion. Repent so that I can bless you and meet your needs. Then, the next few words are, we must fetch water out of this rock? Now I want to suggest to you that, that is a new sentence and a new subject. That the regenerated Adam spoke through Moses and said, now look I want you to understand that what you just did, the way that you just talked to Moses was rebellion, and the response of the congregation was, this is the rock that is going to give us water? He is showing us our sins? He is telling me I have rebellion? We are starving to death, we are dying of thirst, Moses promised to meet our needs, and he is telling us that we have rebellion? This is the one who is going to meet our needs?
So, there was no repentance, but there was arrogance and a denial that God was even present in Moses. I think they were saying that about Moses. I thought you were going to give us water, and you are standing up telling us we are in rebellion. I have been through this with the people here many times. I will tell you something, we will have a little controversy, and you will just want to go on with it, and I will say, no, I cannot go on. The spirit of reconciliation has not flowed, Christ is not satisfied, there is no true repentance in your heart, you are lifted up in pride against me, and I cannot go on until you back down. Everyone of you here have heard me say that to you at one time or another. Christ in me will not let me go on until that carnal mind of yours backs down, and I feel it in my heart when your spirit is right.
So, Christ manifested in Moses, the regenerated Adam manifested in Moses, and the first thing he did was tell them their sins. The way you just talked to me was rebellion, but the Israelites could not tell that it was the regenerated Adam speaking through Moses. They thought it was still Moses, and they said to him, well, I thought you were going to give us spiritual water, you were going to give us an outpouring of spiritual power, but you are not doing that. You are telling us that we are rebels? You are judging our sins? Where is the power? That is what happened.
In response to this arrogance, the Fiery Serpent, Moses' hand, raised up. See Moses got angry. Here he is, he did not even want to help these people, but the Lord called him, and he went. He is helping these people out of service to Jehovah, they are criticizing him, they are complaining about him, they are calling him a liar, and they are telling him that what he has preached to them is not coming to pass. Then he goes before the Lord as an intercessor, and says, Lord the people really need some spiritual experiences. And he comes back, and he tells them, Jehovah is going to give them these spiritual experiences, but first they have to face their sins, and they rise up and attack him again. And I want to tell you from personal experience that this is more than a verbal attack. When the carnal mind rises up to attack Christ in a preacher, it is witchcraft power that comes against that preacher.
So, Moses was already under pressure from their original attack. He held on to his Christ mind, he did the right thing, he did not get angry at them. He put their petition before the Lord, the Lord promised to meet their needs, and he comes before them manifesting the regenerated Adam, and they say to him, who do you think you are, judging my sins? Moses lost it, brethren. He came down under the pressure, but you have to understand that this was witchcraft, that when these Israelites spoke to him this way, the verbal speech was just the end result or the visible expression of Satan rising up within them to try to destroy Moses. Why? Because Moses was trying to destroy Satan.
Brethren, to raise up the Christ mind in a man or to regenerate Adam in a man, you have to put down Satan and Leviathan. So Satan rose up in the thoughts of the men of Israel, and said to Moses, who do you think you are judging my sins? I thought you were going to give us water. So it is true that Moses "lost it," but you have to understand that Moses did not just "lose it" because he lost his patience with the people with their complaining and their murmuring, and their denial that he was Christ, and their ignorance, and their lack of enlightenment. He did not just lose his patience. It was Satan in these people that rose up, that with these words punched Moses, hurt him, wounded him, and Moses did not take the victory. He did not stay in Christ. The Fiery Serpent, his hand, his subconscious mind, rose up, his pride rose up, and as soon as that happened, as soon as his pride rose up, Christ went down, the regenerated Adam in Moses went down. Moses was overtaken by the witchcraft in the people he was trying to help.
And Moses lifted up his hand and smote the rock with his rod. Now, look, when the Fiery Serpent rises up in witchcraft, Christ is smitten. I have told you many times that when we choose the carnal mind, it kills Christ. Christ dies daily. Christ in us dies daily. Every time we sin, Christ dies. It is the glorified Jesus Christ that raises Him from the dead, and only one mind can be fully manifested at a time. Now remember, Moses has gone before the Holy tabernacle of the Lord and been given permission to pick up his rod, to take on the Mind of Christ, and to bring forth the collective manifestation of Christ with these people. When his Fiery Serpent rose up, Christ was knocked down. Christ was killed. The Fiery Serpent in Moses could not have risen up without killing Christ.
So, when these men of Israel said this to Moses, what are you talking about? This is how you are going to give us spiritual experiences by telling us we are rebels? Satan was behind those words, attacked Christ in Moses, Christ went down, and the Fiery Serpent rose up. Now remember, for Moses to be preaching out of the Christ mind, Adam had to be regenerated in him, rise above the Fiery Serpent, cover the Fiery Serpent and press her down. So when Satan manifested through the people, Moses was trying to help. It attacked Christ, Christ in Moses or the regenerated Adam in Moses lost control of the Fiery Serpent, she got out from under Christ, rose above Christ and knocked him down.
I am going to say it again. First, Satan, in the minds of the people Moses was trying to help, attacked Christ so that Christ lost His grip on the Fiery Serpent that was bound underneath him or harnessed underneath Him. Christ was wounded, and He sort of let go. The Fiery Serpent seized the moment, got out from under the regenerated Adam in Moses, rose above him, and put that Christ mind underneath her. That is what happened. Moses was killed by the people he was trying to help.
So, the Fiery Serpent rose up and smote the rock. The rock was the regenerated Adam in Moses. The Fiery Serpent in Moses smote the rock. She wounded the Christ mind in Moses. It says, with his rod. I want to tell you that the Fiery Serpent had a rod too. The Fiery Serpent has a rod too. Rod means authority. The Fiery Serpent manifesting whose authority? Satan's authority rose up and smote the regenerated Adam in Moses that Jehovah had raised up in specific response to Moses prayer which was in specific response to the needs of the people, and the very people he was trying to help rose up and killed him. It happens all the time. You are all going to....to whatever degree you are experiencing it now, you will have more experiences. The people you are sent to help kill you all the time so you have to have leadership training. You have to know how to deal with this. You cannot retaliate, but neither can you deal with what they do with the good side of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil because if you deal with what they do, if you deal with the hurts that they render you out of the good side of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil their sins are not covered. If you say, oh, that is OK, I know you did not mean it, I forgive you, I know you did not mean it, that is OK, their sins are not covered.
So you must, it is essential that you learn to distinguish between the thoughts and the mechanisms of Christ as opposed to the thoughts and mechanisms and the ways of dealing with problems of the good side of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Because if you do not cover the people you are sent to, they are subject to the destructive sowing and reaping judgment. You are supposed to cover the people you are sent to. Why? Because if you do not cover them, if it is not truly Christ in you forgiving their sins, then Satan has legal ground to execute judgment upon them. When Satan comes to execute judgment upon them, he is going to kill Christ in them.
So it is the goal of Christ Jesus to expose your sins to you, to reveal your sins to you, without killing the Christ in you. When Satan executes judgment on you, she kills everything. Just like antibiotics. You take antibiotics, they kill all the bacteria in your intestines, the bad bacteria and the good bacteria. Then you get diarrhea because the good bacteria are gone. That is what Satan does. She wipes out the sin and she wipes out Christ with the sin.
Do you know that verse in Revelation Chapter 4, and hurt not the oil and the wine. The Lord just gave me that Scripture. It is Revelation Chapter 6, Verse 6, and this is the third seal. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a measure of wheat for a penney and three measures of barley for a penney and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. The Lord gave me this Scripture so I have to believe that the purchasing of barley and wheat is the purchasing back, is the redemption of the people, and the instruction is that when you purchase back the spirits of the people, be sure that you do it without destroying the oil which is the Christ and the wine which is the spirit of Christ. There is a lot of revelation coming forth this weekend or today anyway. It is a revelation day, a lot of revelation coming forth.
So if you are in the ministry of reconciliation which is in Christ Jesus, and you are sent to disciples to help raise Christ in them, and you are showing your people their sins because will not rise unless their sins are exposed, and your people attack you, it is to be expected. Just like if you put a baby on your lap without a diaper, you know what you can expect. It is to be expected. You must forgive them in Christ Jesus because if you forgive them out of the good side of your carnal mind they are not covered, and Satan will come in to execute the sowing and reaping judgment which will kill the Christ that you are trying to raise up. And this is exactly what happened with Moses.
Let us go on. And the Fiery Serpent rose up in Moses and he smote Christ in Moses with the authority of Satan. We have the word twice here. Strong's #6471, that is what it says in my Interlinear Text, Strong's #6471, paam, paamah, and the word has nothing to do with twice. It means a stroke. It can be translated a footstep, a corner. Let me see what Thayer's says, a stroke, a beat, a foot, a step, an anvil, an occurrence, a hoof beat, a fall, a footstep, an occurrence of time. Here it says, a beat, one time, once, twice, thrice, time on time or in repetition. It could mean repetition, it could mean that. And the Fiery Serpent rose up and smote the rock with the authority of Satan repeatedly. I guess it could mean repeatedly. Or it could mean that the men that Moses were trying to help were the reflections or the footsteps of Satan.
Every human being is a reflection or a footstep or an imprint of the mind that lives through them. If Christ is living through you, and, of course, this can go back and forth. We have two minds these days. When Christ is speaking through you, you are the reflection or the footprint of Christ. When Satan is speaking through you, you are the reflection or the footprint of Satan. And, although, "repeatedly" fits into this translation I would be more inclined to say that the footsteps or the reflections of Satan, meaning the men that were attacking Moses, beat him with Satan's authority. Did you understand what I said?
The Hebrew word translated "twice" really means footsteps or reflections. It means the men that Moses was trying to help, which were the reflections of Satan, beat on Christ in Moses with Satan's authority. And came out the water abundantly. What does that mean? When the men that Moses was trying to help attacked and killed Christ in Moses, the waters, Satan, flowed forth abundantly. Now, this runs right up with the Scripture in Matthew 22:24 where we talked about the King James translation of swallowing up a camel, and the revelation that came forth on that verse was, when you are a camel, when you have been abstaining from Satan's power, and you are in the wilderness which means you are eligible to have the Spirit of Christ poured out on you if you do not faint, the Spirit of Christ will eventually be poured out on you. But if you give it up, if you turn bitter in your heart and you turn back towards your carnal mind, Satan will break through your desert experience and swallow up the earthen part of your spiritual being and irrigate you, and will become wet clay again, and she will engrave you with her nature. And this is exactly what happened to Moses.
It never ceases to amaze me and bless me how God puts a message together. None of this was planned. First He led me to Matthew 23:24, now we are in Numbers 30, and it is the same message. This was all spontaneous today.
So, we see that Satan, through the men that Moses was trying to help, rose up and killed Christ, Moses' authority, and because of that....and remember this is the same thing that happened with the mortal men of Judah in the case of Samson and Delilah. It is the same message, you see. And the water poured out abundantly. Satan broke through into their desert experience. They were living this dry life because, as I explained to you earlier in this message this morning, the Holy Spirit, once the Holy Spirit points you to Christ, once Christ is grafted to you, the Holy Spirit tends to dry up and you have to wait for that seed, that Holy seed to manifest into maturity, when that Holy seed is mature enough to pour out the Spirit of Christ upon you.
So you have a desert experience. You lose all that glory that you experience in the Holy Spirit, and you have this desert experience until Christ is mature enough to pour out again, and this time He is the Spirit of Christ, not only has all the blessings of the Holy Spirit but also He brings eternal life with Him. So you are between the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Christ, and there is this desert between these two spiritual experiences. If you cannot wait, if you faint, and you turn towards your carnal mind, Satan will come rushing into that desert experience, and you will lose all the ground that you have gained. And this is what happened to the children of Israel in the desert. When they became the reflections of Satan and smote and killed the Christ mind in Moses, Satan, the water, same pouring out abundantly and drank the congregation.
This is very interesting because the word drank is preceded by the prefix teth which means Serpent. And also by the prefix vav which means nailed to. And the congregation was nailed to the Serpent. Now remember, when we started this exhortation the congregation was gathered into Moses. They were gathered into a collective manifestation of the regenerated Adam, but when they would not confess their sins, but instead attacked the preacher that was exhorting them to confess their sins, Satan came flooding in and, they were nailed to the Serpent. So before they could be nailed to the Serpent they had to be separated from Moses. They were gathered into Moses. Moses and Aaron were the head. They were gathered into or nailed unto Moses and Aaron. So when they rebelled against Moses they broke their connection from him and lost his cover, and Satan nailed them to herself and to her mind which is the Fiery Serpent which is an extension of Leviathan. And their beasts also. So Satan nailed their personalities and their spirits.
Verse 12, and the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron saying, because you believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel; therefore, you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. Now in the King James this makes no sense. In the King James translation, it says that Moses lifted up his hand, he smote the rock twice, the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank. So why would the Lord be rebuking Moses? What I have heard over the years in the church was that Moses smote the rock instead of speaking to the rock and, therefore, he was punished severely. Well, now we see that there is much more to this story. That it was the rock who spoke, and when he spoke he showed the people of Israel their sins, and the people of Israel, in response to having their sins revealed, smote the rock, and it was Satan's water that poured out abundantly.
Let us see what Verse 12 is saying now. And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron saying, because you believed me not, let us see what that is saying here. And spake Jehovah unto Moses and Aaron. The Hebrew word translated believed can also actually, even more than....it really does not mean to believe. It means to build up, to support; to foster as a parent or to nurse. And that is the function of Adam. Everyone that is manifesting Adam or Christ Jesus is a spiritual nursemaid to the Christ within the disciples. Christ within the disciples has a nursemaid, the more mature Christ Jesus in the teacher that the Lord has raised up. Why does the Christ that you are carrying need a nursemaid outside of you? Because the average personality that is carrying the young Christ does not have enough experience to keep that spiritual life alive.
If your sins are not exposed, and you do not take the victory, if you strain out the judgment, Satan is going to come flooding in, and that Christ child will be destroyed. So the person who is in the role of Christ Jesus to you is exposing your sins to keep the Christ in you alive. Because to expose the sins of your carnal mind weakens your carnal mind, and if you do not weaken your carnal mind she is going to rise up and kill that baby in you. It is really so simple once you can understand it, but you cannot understand it with your carnal mind, you see.
So this word believe means to be a nursemaid. It means to cover the sins of the people. Who spake the Lord unto Moses and said, because you did not cover the sins of the people. And this word "not" can be translated "the Serpent, or the Fiery Serpent." Because you did not cover the Fiery Serpent. The Fiery Serpent got out from under Christ in Moses, and Jehovah said....now this is not a punishment, this is the truth, this is the same spirit that Jehovah went to Adam, the woman and the Serpent with. He did not curse them. He instructed them. He said, look, this is what you have done, and these are the consequences of what you have done. Serpent, you are going to crawl on your belly. Adam you are going to sweat in labor. It was not a curse. It was an instruction. This is the fruit of your behavior. This is the fruit of your choices. The law is already written.
So, Jehovah came to Moses, and He said to him, Moses, you failed the. No condemnation. You were attacked by witchcraft in the mind of your own disciples, and your Fiery Serpent shot up, and you did not keep her covered. She got out from under your cover, and there is a consequence. It is not a punishment, but there is a consequence. This has happened to me many times. What is the consequence when I am ministering to you, and my Fiery Serpent gets out from under Christ in me? Well, there are several consequences. First of all, I have not done my job so your sins are not covered. I have not covered you, and you are now subject to Satan who has the legal ground to come in and damage the Christ in you. I have damaged our relationship, I have damaged your confidence in me, and I have damaged your confidence in the whole ministry and the work that Jesus is doing here because I acted like a fool. And on the surface, what it looks like is that you are just sitting there not doing anything wrong. The truth is that Satan in you was attacking me, but you do not know it, you see, and if I get mad and start yelling or raise my voice at you, you are looking at me and saying, and you are supposed to be in Christ?
So, it gives an opportunity to your carnal mind to even deny my office so there is damage done to me. Personally, there is damage done to you because you are now subject to Satan, and in this particular area where you cannot see your own sin, and I failed to convince you, or even get you to pray about it, there is damage to Christ in you, there is damage to Christ in me, there is damage to our personal relationship, and depending on how mature you are, there could be damage to the ministry and the whole work that God is doing here.
So, it is our responsibility to hold on to our Fiery Serpent. We have to be toilet trained. I was saying that off of the message, and if the only way that you can control your Fiery Serpent is to know when to retreat, then you must know when to retreat, and I have done that. If I feel that I am losing it, I will tell you that is the end of this conversation. I will not continue it. I am not making it today, and rather than lose my position in Christ, we will discuss this at another time. That is wisdom.
But Moses lost it, brethren. His Fiery Serpent got out from under him after he was attacked. So he is guilty with an explanation. Yes, he was attacked, but that is the way it is. You always get attacked when you are a son of God. Does the Lord condemn him? Does the Lord condemn me? Does the Lord condemn you? No, but there is a consequence for your failure. Now it is not a permanent failure. You can lose the battle, but you are not going to lose the war. But you must recognize that you failed to hold your Fiery Serpent down.
Now, in my case, when I lose it, you will know that I lost it because my mouth will manifest that I have lost it, but there are some personalities that do not manifest through their mouth when they lose it. They just lose it in their heart, you see. And you all need to know, all of you here who do not have a tendency like I do to raise your voice when you are losing it, that if in your heart you lose it, the consequences are the same. You may not say one word. In the day that you are ministering to someone who is giving you a hard time, in the day that you lose it you might not say a word, but silently and subtly the carnal mind will rise up and cover Christ in you, and all of the consequences that I named are still yours. You may not damage the relationship, but the person is not covered.
And as far as the Lord Jesus is concerned, you have not done your job, and if you want to go on with the Lord Jesus you have to confess that you were attacked by Satan in your disciple, and that Christ Jesus in you was overcome, and that you said something to them or you felt something in your heart towards them that was not out of Christ, and that they were not covered. And if you cannot confess that, your ministry is going to start to go down, and your walk with the Lord will start to go down. We must see our mistakes, and we must make changes if we hope to go on with the Lord.
So, the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron saying, because you did not cover the Fiery Serpent....we are translating the word "not," the Hebrew word translated "not," we are translating Fiery Serpent, and the Hebrew word translated "believe," Strong's #539 means to be a parent or a nursemaid or to be firm or faithful or to be morally true. Your Christ mind did not endure.
Because your Christ mind did not endure, therefore, you did not sanctify me. The word "sanctify" means to be pronounced clean. I do not know what that word "me" is doing in there. The Interlinear Text is saying here, me. If I had more time I would tell you where the "me" goes, but it does not even have to mean "me." It could mean, according, among, at, because, towards, when, or within.
Listen, you Christ mind did not endure within me. Remember the word sanctify means your morality. That is the Christ mind. To pronounced ceremonially clean. The regenerated Adam in you who pronounced you ceremonially clean did not endure in you. The Christ mind, the nursemaid to your Fiery Serpent and to all those people out there that pronounced you ceremonially clean, did not endure in the eyes, did not endure in the visible spiritual world, in the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God did not endure in the children of Israel. So you did not do your job. You did not cover the Fiery Serpent...well your Fiery Serpent was covered, but he did not endure, and because he did not endure, because the Mind of Christ in you came down, you did not cover the children of Israel; therefore, you shall not bring....now, this is interesting because the Hebrew word translated "you shall not bring" is the same Hebrew word translated "you believed" which means nursemaid.
Is not that interesting? I am sorry. It is not the same word. It is a different word. It is the same numbers in a different relationship. It does mean to bring....OK, so because the Christ mind in you did not endure, you did not take the victory, therefore, you were not a nursemaid to the children of Israel. The Christ mind did not endure in them; therefore, you shall not go out the congregation into this land. That is what it appears to be saying. Jehovah said, the Mind of Christ did not endure in you, you did not cover the children of Israel, and, therefore, they shall not go into the land that I have given them.
This congregation, this assemblage, which did not even exist anymore because Satan wrecked it, shall not go into the land. What land? The spiritual land, the Kingdom of God. It does not mean forever. It means for that moment. There has to be a recovery.
Verse 13, This is the water of Meribah because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and He was sanctified in them. This is the water of Meribah, and Meribah means the desert. Well, the word "is" is not in the Hebrew. So let us see what it is saying. And the word "this" is masculine plural. So if the Hebrew says "this water," and the Hebrew word translated 'this" is the masculine plural, we know that it is talking about the Spirit of Christ because Satan is feminine.
So, Jehovah is saying, this water of the desert strove the children of Israel. To strive means to toss, to grapple, to wrangle, to hold a controversy, to defend themselves against. So the children of Israel defended themselves against the waters of the desert which is the Spirit of Christ. And He was sanctified in them. The Hebrew word translated "sanctified" is preceded by the prefixes which mean Adam, the vav, and the yod. And the word sanctified means to pronounce ceremonially clean.
Again, I am doing this rather quickly, but what Verse 13 seems to be saying is that this Spirit of Christ, the masculine waters of the desert, strove with the children of Israel because He desired to make them morally clean. See, when you have this ministry of reconciliation, and you have disciples, and you are sent to people to show them their sins, if you are truly in Christ Jesus your motive for doing this is to make them morally clean. And the way we become morally clean is by destroying our carnal mind and living out of Christ, and the way we destroy our carnal mind is to expose her because she is lying to us, and she is telling us that the thoughts of our mind which seem innocent to us are the thoughts of Christ. And there is no life in the good side of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. And she is also lying to us about the subtle sins that arise into our mind which we have trouble believing our sin; therefore, the Spirit of Christ, the waters of the desert strive with the children of Israel, the ones who are near to the Lord. The Hebrew word translated "with" can mean near to.
See, the Spirit of Christ in me strives with you who are near to the Lord to make you morally clean by exposing your carnal mind in the thoughts that she is convincing you are OK, and I am telling you that they are not Christ. And if I am truly a teacher in Christ, which I believe I am, you will have to get your answer from the Lord. I guess you all believe that or you would not be here.
My motive for striving with you is to make you morally clean, and moral cleanness results in eternal life. And you have to get into Christ to be morally clean and receive eternal life, and you cannot get into Christ without covering your carnal mind. And you are never going to cover your carnal mind if the truth of her thoughts in you are not exposed. If the truth of her motives, what she is thinking through you on the unconscious and subconscious levels, if you do not face that you are never going to cover her, and you are never going to be morally clean, and you are never going to enter into eternal life; therefore, because the Lord loves you with an everlasting love, He has set up a teacher who is willing to strive with you so that you should enter into eternal life and be morally clean. That is the message.
In this hour, I cannot do it without your help. I do not think it will ever be any different. I do not think the teacher in Christ Jesus or the Savior from Mt. Zion, however you want to describe the people who will come forth and do this great work for the people of God, I do not think they will ever be able to cover that person's carnal mind without the agreement of the disciple. What the Lord Jesus is doing against the will of the people is that He will be grafted....I believe that when the group of people that are in full stature stand up, the Lord Jesus will be grafting the seed of Christ to the people without their permission. And then, once Christ starts to mature He will need the agreement of the personality to expose the carnal mind. The Lord has corrected me. He has already grafting the seed of Christ to people without their permission, but we cannot judge their sins without their permission.
But once Christ is in the person and growing in them, if they will not submit to the Judgment Seat of Christ, they will definitely reap what they have sown for rejecting the righteous judgment of Christ. And Satan is going to enter in, and their will be some manifestations in their life which, hopefully, will turn them towards the Lord.
Are there any questions or comments on this message?
COMMENT: When you originally said nursemaid, I heard Lilith and Molech with a nursemaid used to kill the Christ child.
PASTOR VITALE: OK, they were the nursemaids that protect the Fiery Serpent.
You see the Fiery Serpent is our spiritual potential. The Fiery Serpent is the immortal seed within us, and she has nursemaids that ascend by Satan to make sure that she grows in Satan's image. And Adam and the Spirit of Christ ascend to make sure that the Fiery Serpent matures into Jehovah's image. So there are two sets of nursemaids. I had never heard of that before, but I have no problem believing that, there are two sets of nursemaids.
I do not know much about those names. Lilith and who else was named?
COMMENT: Molech
PASTOR VITALE: Well, Molech I am familiar with because that god is in the Scripture, and that is interesting because the Scripture says that the Hebrew children sacrificed their children to Molech by putting their children through the fire. And that revelation came down a while ago that this was their spiritual children.
I had a relationship with a ? Rabbi for two years, and one of the things that he told me was that, we do not really know what that means, but what Jewish family is going to put their children through the fire? And I did not know what to say to him, but I believe that the Lord had told me that, that was not a physical manifestation. It was a spiritual manifestation, and the children that the Hebrews put through the fire was the Christ child that was regenerated in them. And the fire that they put Him through was the fires that destroyed Christ. Apparently, Molech is a god that manifests fire. I guess it is the Fiery Serpent. I cannot go into all of these details without studying it which I am not doing right now.
Generally, speaking that is what it is. They put their spiritual children through the fire. So I know that is true of Molech, and I have heard of the term Lilith, but I do not believe she is in the Scripture. I do not believe she is in the King James translation, and I am not familiar with her being in the Scripture. So perhaps someday the Lord will explain that to me further. I do not know much about Lilith.
Well, xxxxx just told us, that Lilith is associated with crib death. I knew that this was a name that we hear in deliverance, especially from xxxxxxx. He names all of these demons, but I did not know what Lilith meant. Now, Lilith being associated with crib death, once again the spirit is associated with the death of children. So we see Molech is associated with the death of children, and Lilith is associated with the death of children. So I think that xxxxx may have very well have heard from the Lord, and that these two names are associated with the death of the Christ child.
Now if you are hearing this message, and you are having trouble, that Molech and Lilith are active in your mind, I definitely recommend ,if you are willing to do it, that you put this before the Lord, and that you pray against Molech and Lilith, and ask the Lord if they are active in you and to destroy them or to help you to see them and destroy them. I believe that was a Word of Knowledge, very possibly for you, because this whole message seems to have been....my whole message was canceled this morning. So it seems to me that after the counseling that came forth this morning that the Lord has given you this whole message to support you and help you to go forward with recognizing these hidden sins in you, and now He is exposed the names of two demonic entities. Personally, I believe that word was for you. I will just pray for you right now.
In the name of Jesus, I just curse those spirits in you, and I burn them with fire and utterly destroy them, but I also pray that they should be exposed to you, and that everything hindering God's purposes in your life should be burned up and removed, that His purposes can be fully manifested in you. In the name of Jesus, I pray that. Amen.

Praise the Lord. The Lord started with a little counseling session this morning, and we do record our counseling sessions. Directly from counseling, the Lord started preaching so what you will hear for about the next 5-10 minutes is the exhortation that came forth from me at the end of the counseling session. The volume is a little low, but it will pick up right after that when we come back to our regular recording equipment which I am recording on right now. So right now you are about to hear the exhortation that came forth in the counseling session this morning.
There are physical manifestations of what happens, but the whole thing is in the spirit. I was reading a little bit in the history there, and it was about one of David's battles and the description was so spiritual. It says, and he stabbed him under the fifth rib. Rib means side. Under the fifth side, that is under the fifth energy center. In other words, he stripped his power from the throat center and cast him down, cast down his fiery Serpent. I had to go before the Lord yesterday and say, Lord did these battles even happen in the natural? And I said, well, there really had to be something in the natural because we know that the Hebrew people were in Israel, that there are a physical Hebrew people.
So, where is the line? The only answer that I got is that a lot of this did happen in the natural, but it is just a manifestation of what is happening in the spirit. What I read about was a spiritual defeat, and exactly what happened in the natural I do not know, but I guess the person died. And even everything that is happening today, this great battle that is already in progress that is going to be culminated during this next year, 2000, is all in the spirit, and it is going to manifest in a negative way in this world because this world is the negative image of the spiritual world.
So what is happening in the spiritual world is that Christ Jesus is defeating Satan and Leviathan, and our physical bodies and this whole physical world is Satan's world. So, that means it is going to manifest in this world as destruction because Christ Jesus is bringing down Satan's world, and the only time we are protected in the physical, when Christ Jesus is defeating Satan the only physical human beings which are the leaves of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the only time it is not going to be physically destructive to them is when they are given over to Christ Jesus. The only time physical mortal men are not going to get hurt in this mirror image world when Christ Jesus is defeating Satan and Leviathan, the physical human being in this world will be protected if they are following Jehovah's law. If Christ Jesus brings down Satan and Leviathan in the spiritual, every manifestation in this mirror image world that has deviated from the basic Ten Commandments, that has deviated from the spiritual law, is going to experience destruction in life.
You do not even have to be in Christ, I do not think you even have to be a Christian, to receive some measure of protection if you are obeying the spiritual law of God. You need Christ to go on to eternal life. You need Christ to come out from under the law, but if you do not have Christ, and you are obeying the spiritual law of God which is the law of love, which means what you do to your neighbor you would have them to do unto you. That means that you do no violence to other men, and that means that you do no cheat them out of a penny, and you probably will survive any destruction that comes along, but everybody breaks the law at some point, everybody is subject to something. That is the only protection in this mirror image world against the destruction that is coming against Satan and Leviathan, in general, from Christ Jesus in the spiritual plane. Do you understand what I said?
If you follow the spiritual, you do no harm to anybody. Christ Jesus is the positive, or the left side of the heart center, is the positive world, and there is a war going on as to which world this mirror image world will reflect. Will it reflect the spiritual world on the left side of the heart center or will it reflect the spiritual world on the right side of the heart center which is Satan's world? The left side is the world of Christ Jesus, and this mirror image....well, there is only one mirror image world. Which spiritual world will it reflect? What is happening right now is that the mirror image world of the imputed Christ which was upon this nation and all of Christendom is being dissolved. All of Christendom, all of Christian Europe, going back 40-50 years ago when people went to church on Sunday and....it is not the physical act of going to church, but they honored the name of Jesus Christ, this nation was strong, and it was in order. We had crime, but we had peace. The nation as a whole was in order, but as this nation comes out from under the spiritual law of God destruction is falling everywhere. What does that mean? It means 50 years or so ago when this nation was in order, this nation and all of Christendom, Christian Europe, were a reflection of the imputed Christ. What does that mean? Well, we were not fully Christ Jesus, we were not even scripturally righteous, but because we honored the name of Jesus Christ the world was in scriptural order and blessed by God.
What we see happening right now is that this order that was established in Christendom because of the honor of Jesus Christ is dissolving, and the Lord is telling you right now that this is a physical manifestation of the scriptural expression that I preached about in Samson and Delilah. You may recall me saying something like this: Well, Adam was ascended into the heart center in the mortal men of Judah because of the strength of Samson, their leader, and there was a union in the heart centers of the mortal men of Judah with the Spirit of Elijah that was in Samson. The Spirit of Elijah in Samson, from Samson's mind, was penetrating the mortal men of Judah, and sustaining and maintaining Adam in the heart center, in the left side of the heart center in the mortal men of Judah. Adam could never have stood in the left side of the heart center in the mortal men of Judah without the strength of the Spirit of Elijah proceeding forth from Samson's mind, but when the mortal men of Judah in their personalities began to fall out of agreement with the righteousness of Christ...well, let me say this first, that means that the resurrected Adam in the mortal men of Judah was imputed. They were not in right standing because of their own strength. It was the Spirit of Elijah in Samson penetrating their mind that gave the strength to the mortal men of Judah to be a manifestation of Adam or Christ Jesus in the New Testament. But when the personalities of the mortal men of Judah, in their thinking, turned away from the righteous ideas of Adam...Adam is the perfect expression of Jehovah's nature, when, in their thinking, they turned away towards Leviathan's thinking, the expression in the Alternate Translation is, Adam in the mortal men of Judah began to dissolve. If you look over your notes of the Alternate Translation, that is what you will see - Adam began to dissolve.
Well, that is wonderful poetry, even the Alternate Translation is poetry, what does it mean that Adam began to dissolve? We read the Alternate Translation, and it says he began to dissolve, and Satan and Leviathan apprehended the personalities. Well what does that mean? Well, look around you, it is happening in this country today. The imputed Christ Jesus which is Adam in the Old Testament is dissolving in this nation, and he is dissolving in this nation in the individual hearts of the many members of this nation because they have rejected the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the manifestation of the glorified Jesus Christ to a nation with imputed righteousness. They are rejecting the law of God, and they are rejecting the Holy Spirit, they are not honoring the name of Jesus, and the imputed Christ Jesus that was protecting this nation is dissolving right before our very eyes.
What is confusing to a lot of carnally minded people is that it is taking years to happen, but this is what is going on in this nation. Christ Jesus who existed in this nation, not because of the righteousness of the nation or of the people in the nation, but because Christ Jesus honored us for honoring His Name that imputed manifestation of Christ Jesus is dissolving as that imputed Christ Jesus dissolves. In the mind of one man at a time, there is a collective dissolution of righteousness over the whole nation. Just as if you build a sand castle and the sea comes in and washes over it, the very spiritual core of this nation is dissolving and changing. When it dissolves, then the next thing is that it is built up in another form, and the two things are happening at once. The spiritual nature and formation of this nation is dissolving and being rebuilt in Satan's image simultaneously. It is happening a man at a time. There is an epidemic of unrighteousness in this nation, and what happens to the man who is captured by Satan, the spiritually ignorant man, is that the imputed Christ Jesus that was in his heart because he went to church every Sunday because his mother and father made him go has dissolved, and he does not even know that he is completely given over to the thoughts of Satan and Leviathan.
This exhortation that is coming out of me right now is right out of the verses that I have to speak to you about in Samson and Delilah. I think we will pick up with that message right now.
Well, we are back on our regular recording equipment right now, and I would like to direct you to the paragraph in our study on Samson and Delilah which speaks about Adam dissolving, and that is the second paragraph under Verse 19 which reads, And this is how Satan began to dissolve Adam, the wedge between the widowed Fiery Serpents within the mortal men of Judah and Leviathan, so that Cain within the mortal men of Judah could pluck Abel, Samson's disciple within the mortal men of Judah, away from Adam within the mortal men of Judah, and force Abel down under Cain within the mortal men of Judah. To pluck Abel within the mortal men of Judah away from....actually, that should be away from the Spirit of Elijah in Samson, and force Abel down under Cain within the mortal men of Judah.
So we see that the Lord this morning, in case you did not realize it, has given us a revelation of this expression that Adam is dissolved. To be honest with you, I had not seen it this way until the Lord illuminated me this morning. I do know that we have to get away from the letter, even of the Doctrine of Christ, that these spiritual principles that are being preached, that it is essential for our spiritual growth that we can apply these spiritual principles to this physical world so that we can see the truth of what is happening in the spiritual world is manifesting in the physical world.
See, the Doctrine of Christ is a story or an exhortation upon life in the spiritual plane or the existence in the spiritual plane. So to have a complete picture, we must see how this activity, I guess that is the word, even better than life or existence, the activity on the spiritual plane will manifest in this world. See, the carnal translations of the Scripture are the carnal mind's understanding of how spiritual activity in the invisible planes will manifest in this world, and there definitely is an expression, there definitely is a carnal expression of the activity on the spiritual planes in this world. It all depends on who you are, whether your mind is Christ or whether your mind is Satan and Leviathan.
See, I see Christ Jesus, and this is the revelation that the Lord gave me this morning, I see Christ Jesus dissolving in Christendom at large, and I explained it on the earlier part of this message which came forth in the exhortation. The civilization that is an expression of the imputed Christ Jesus ruling over Christendom, and this nation in particular, is dissolving. It is going the way of the dinosaur. How people think, and the fruit of how they think. You see, we would never have this filth on TV or in the movies if people would stop watching it. The minds of the people are being seduced, but even though the imputed Christ Jesus is being dissolved in this country right now, He is getting stronger in me every day. And the proof that He is getting stronger in me every day is that this physical body that should have been dead years and years and years ago is being renewed every day. I am stronger than I have been in 20-30 years.
So we see that it is possible to press against the pricks when the pricks are going in the wrong direction. In other words, that expression "do not press against the pricks," is what Jesus said to Paul, do not oppose Him, but we certainly can oppose what is going on in this world. If you can hear me, it is the condition of Christ Jesus in your heart that will determine who you are, what you are, and what your life will be like even if the whole nation is going down in disaster. And I am not prophesying that. I believe that the Lord will deliver this nation, I just do not know what form His deliverance will take, but I do know, Scripturally speaking, that deliverance for people who really do not understand God's ways usually comes in the form of some form of destruction that will turn them from what they are doing and cause them to cry out to God. And this is the difference between the sowing and reaping judgment and the White Throne Judgment of Christ.
If you cannot understand what I am saying here, whoever you are, where ever you are in this world, if you cannot understand what I am saying and find it within you to turn to Christ, and you will never do that if you do not understand what I am saying. Maybe you will understand what I am saying, and you will not have whatever it takes to turn to Christ. If you cannot do that, then you will continue in your carnal mind, and eventually every...., and this is my strong opinion, that every carnal mind in this country will eventually be seduced, and it is only the minds of the people that are committed to Christ that will not be seduced.
Now, I believe that there are people in this nation that have the Holy Spirit, that they have a carnal mind under the influence of the Holy Spirit, and I would like to believe, I do not have the exact answer here, I would like to believe that they will stand because of their faith in Jesus Christ even though their mind is not Christ. It is my understanding right now that you can accomplish pretty much everything with an imputed Christ that you can with an imparted Christ. What does that mean? If you have a carnal mind, and you are under the influence of the Holy Spirit and fully committed to Him, you may have an imputed Christ formed in you, an imputed Christ mind formed in you, that you can pretty much do everything as the man who has Christ grafted to him if you continue to seek the Lord for every aspect of your life.
Basically, what the imparted Christ can give you that the imputed Christ cannot give you is stability. As we just read about today, the imputed Christ can be dissolved. The imputed Christ can be dissolved, and if you recall the verse that I read to you, I am not even sure I read it to you today, but we have been over these Scriptures so many times....the reason, well let me give it to you right here. The reason that Christ could be dissolved in the mortal men of Judah is given to us in verse 18b which is just two paragraphs above the verse that I just read you. But when Satan perceived that the spiritual woman who was miserable, disheartened, and pining away because of her weak and inadequate nature belonged to the Spirit of Christ, and they were all standing boldly opposite Leviathan in the heart center of the upper window, Satan did not like it. They were all sold out to Christ, and this is what Satan did. She vibrated forth to harvest the Fiery Serpents within the mortal men of Judah off of Adam's vine. She moved forward by her spirit to separate the personality from the imputed Mind of Christ, and to re-engrave the Fiery Serpents with her own image. The way she does that is with seductive thoughts. I am not doing a full exhortation now so I am going to drop that.
She does that by injecting thoughts that are not of Christ into your mind and convincing you that they are right. That is how she does it; that is how she separates you from Christ. Who is she? Satan. That is how she separates you from Christ. What I was saying to you was, the only thing that....and, of course, this is very important what the imparted Christ can give you that the imputed Christ cannot give you is that the imparted Christ does not dissolve. Satan cannot dissolve the imparted Christ. So we see that the imputed Christ can be dissolved and also the imparted Christ cannot give you eternal life. The imparted Christ can give you great things in this life, great blessings in direct proportion to your commitment to Him, your commitment to obedience and to living His law. You can have a change in your personality, you can have character flaws healed, you can have physical ailments healed, your children can be blessed, you can be blessed financially, you can be blessed in every area, but you are still going to die after a season.
The imparted Christ is our passport to eternal life, and when this imparted Christ, and that is the Christ that is grafted to our personality, who has become the head of our personality with His righteous nature, when He grows to maturity, and He is born again in us, we receive unending life. So if you are hearing this message, and it is one of the first messages you have ever heard me preach, I have now shocked you. Not only are you not born again, but you are not capable of being born again because only that which came down from heaven is capable of returning to heaven. And the only one that came down from heaven is the Son of God within you, and that is not the personality, you see. It is not the personality. It is the Son of God within you who is being born again, not you, the personality. If He is grafted to you, you too will be born again with Him, and when He appears you shall appear with Him. But He is the one that is being born again. The personality is manifestations of the ox of the earth, the spiritual ox that was formed to surround Adam. The earth has always been dead. There is only life in the earth when the earth is cleaving to Life, and Life is only in the Spirit of Christ.
We were talking about the seduction that is upon this nation right now. The collective Christ Jesus, the collective Adam in this nation is dissolving. His image is dissolving in this nation. Listen to what people say. Listen to what they think. I was watching one of the talk shows last night. The Serpent's mind is very strong in this nation, and they are openly admitting, this lawyer that I saw on TV representing a major organization in the United States, that, yes she wants it taught that homosexuality is as legitimate a lifestyle as heterosexuality, and she wants it taught to small children that both lifestyles are equally normal. And if you do not have enough money to put your child in a private school, that is what your child is going to be hearing if the school districts accept that plan. Now, that is not the mind of the imputed Christ. That is the Serpent's mind.
So we see that the image of Christ Jesus is dissolving in this nation as a whole, but there is always a remnant. The beings that existed on the other side of the flood, they were all dissolved, but Noah stayed in the image of Elohim who was in the image of Jehovah. I do not know whether there was a physical flood in this world or not. Some scientists say it was global. Other scientists say there was no global flood, that there were a few local floods. I do not know, and, to me, it is not worth even pursuing because I know that no matter what did happen on the earth, it was just a physical expression of what was happening in the spirit.
And what was happening in the spirit is this. The race of beings that existed on the other side of the flood were the descendants of Seth, and at one time they served Jehovah, and they were in His nature. But the floods came in, the spiritual floods. Who is the spiritual flood? Satan is the flood. She is the waters. Satan whispered to them, and when their personality fell into agreement, either by seduction or by ignorance....see, it does not matter, if you touch the unclean thing you are dirty. Oh, I did not know that was dirty. Well, it is on your hands. You touched it. So, for whatever reason, I do not have any more details at this time, the race of beings that existed on the other side of the flood received the suggestions of Satan and fell into agreement with her thoughts. To agree with someone's thoughts is to open a door.
Jesus said, I knock, I am standing here knocking, let Me in. Well, what do you think that means? Do you think by saying, I love you, Jesus, welcome Lord Jesus, come in Lord Jesus, that, that will let Him in? No. When Jesus comes in, He brings His mind with Him, He brings His thought with Him, and He brings the mechanism of the way He thinks with Him. See, there is a difference between His thoughts and the mechanism of how He thinks. You can see, I agree with everything Jesus says, yes, I am going to repeat everything He says. That is not enough. You have to have the mechanism within you, the way He thinks, the way He reasons, the way He uses logic. You have to think like Him, you see. It is not enough to repeat what He says, because then you are a robot or a servant like we were saying in the counseling session this morning. Jesus is raising up sons. We must think like Him, you see.
Well, the beings on the other side of the flood received Satan's thoughts, and a door opened in the spirit, and they became vulnerable to her, and she flowed in. See, it was not physical water. It was spiritual water. She flowed into their minds, and the image that was in their mind, the nature of Jehovah that was in their mind began to be blurred. What does that mean, what does nature mean? It is a thought mechanism. It is how you reason. To help us understand, the Scripture says that nature is signified by a mark or by markings, that the spirit that thinks through us marks us as you would take a knife in wet clay. That is what we need to help us to understand.
I do not know that the beings on the other side of the flood even knew what was happening to them. I think what happened to them was very similar is what is happening to Christendom today until it was too late. The floods came and took everyone away. What does that mean? The nature that was engraved in their mind was dissolved. Adam was dissolved in their mind, and Leviathan took his place. And the floods came, and Adam was dissolved.
When I was young in God, I used to think that well, everything on the earth was destroyed because of the flood until someone pointed out to me in the King James translation, oh no, it was just that which was on the earth was dissolved or was destroyed. Everything in the sea survived. The water cannot hurt fish. Because the water rose, that did not hurt the fish. It did not hurt Leviathan, and it did not hurt Satan when the floods arose. Everything in the earth was destroyed. The nature, and the image of Jehovah that was engraved in the earth was destroyed, and the whole vision that was projected from that collective mind which was engraved with the nature of Jehovah was destroyed. Dissolved.
Noah was the only one who survived Satan's floods flowing into the world in that day. I do not know what it was like at that time. It is an interesting question to ask what happened to the other beings. If they did not really physically die because they were....if it is not true that they were physically drowned, and I do not think it was a physical creation, if the truth of what happened to them is that Adam in their mind dissolved and was replaced with the nature of Satan, and they continued to have an existence, what happened to them? Now, is that so way out? Is this not the truth of our existence? We were alive when we were God, and we were separated from God, and we died, but we still have an existence. Is this not the definition of hell? And has not the Lord recently shown us, over the last year or two, that the same is true of Abel? That Cain slew him? And that Abel is buried under the ground, but he has a consciousness?
So, if these two examples are true, I think logic would say that the beings on the other side of the flood did not cease to exist. They did not cease to have consciousness, but they died to the life which they experienced because Adam was regenerated in them, and that Noah and his sons, which were within him, were the only ones whose nature remained in the markings of Jehovah. Yet, when the crisis was over we found that even Noah became subject to Satan's seduction. So what happened to all those other people if they did not cease to exist? If they just died to the lifestyle of the regenerated Adam, what happened to them? I do not know. Do you know? I do not know.
Perhaps they exist today in another form, some nation somewhere. I do not know. I am not sure. I have some ideas, but I do not know how I got on this subject just now. And I do not want to go off that way. This is very interesting. The Lord just said that under the anointing. There has been a lot of revelation coming forth these last few days, just pops into my head, has nothing to do with anything that I am doing at the moment, just pops into my head. That is a good sign. It is a sign that Christ Jesus is manifesting in you. Praise the Lord.
So with regard to our message on Samson and Delilah, I do not know how I got to Noah, well, Lord, what do you want me to do with this message this morning? I am not going to strive with you, I am right here ready to preach Samson and Delilah, Part 15. I do not know how I got on Noah, Lord. Well, I do know how I got on Noah. We were talking about the dissolution of a mind, that it is possible to dissolve a mind, and then re-create that mind in another image.
Does anybody not understand the significance of the dissolution of a mind? The word dissolve, just another form of the word is dissolution. Is everybody OK with that?
I think we will go on with Samson then, and we left off on Part 14 on Page 4. We had just finished Verse 14. We will pick up at the very bottom of Page 4, Verse 12b. Of course, this is an interspersion so we had read Verse 14 before 12b, and in Verse 14 we saw that Satan had seduced the mortal men of Judah, and she was about to give them or engrave in them an imparted anointing that comes from Satan. She was about to weave herself through them. That is another way of saying the imparted anointing. As I told you earlier, the imputed anointing can be dissolved, but the imparted anointing cannot be dissolved. I believe that it is possible to destroy Christ Jesus when He is imparted to a man, but it is very, very hard to do. It is much, much harder to do than when Christ is imputed. Why? Because the personality is so woven together with the Christ mind that it is very hard to trick them.
I have experiences, I am in the process of having Christ imparted to me. It is not 100%, but a large part of me is the imparted Christ, and I know that the first time I experienced hearing His voice oppose the voice of my carnal mind it was a very interesting experience. Now it excites me. Now it excites me to know that I think....I can think that I have the whole thing figured out, and all of a sudden there is another thought in my mind. Now you have to know what this means, because the typical reaction of a mortal man when they hear that other voice is to just blow it off. Say, oh, I just feel so strongly that this is right, I just know this is right, I prayed, and I got it, and I just prayed and I fasted and the whole thing, and I just know I got it right.
And then all of a sudden....let us make it simple, I know I am going to go white, and then all of a sudden a voice, a very, very quiet voice, sounds in your mind and says, black. I had a choice between white and black. The average human being would just blow away that very, very quiet thought. You have to know that you have to lay hold of every thought that comes into your mind. Now, I am not 100%, but I am trained. I can have the whole thing just prayed through, convinced that it is God, but if I hear that little voice I am going to stop dead in my tracks, and say, uh oh, I think I made a mistake. Lord, did I make a mistake? Because I am telling you, when He speaks in this manner it is a very quiet voice. If you do not pay attention to Him and pursue what He said to you, He will not pursue you. He will not pressure you. He will not strong-arm you. He gives you His counsel, you the personality, you have to lay hold of it, and use it or you will lose it. You will lose His counsel, and then what? You will suffer the consequences of your error. Now I am not talking about death, depending on what your situation was. It could be loss in a relationship, it could be loss of finances, it could be loss of an opportunity to experience the things of God. You will experience the loss, you will reap what you sow because you chose the wrong path, but you could never say that Christ did not speak to you and tell you the truth.
Now, if you are not in this place yet, either Christ is not woven through the fabric of your personality and opposing in thought, Satan's thoughts. If you are blessed, the Lord can send another man to you that has Christ in him to speak the words to you. Now, it is really hard to reject the word spoken in your own language that you hear with your physical ears, and this is why it behooves us to pray about everything that we hear. I have heard people say things to me at airports that I have prayed about. I have heard what they said, and the thought occurred to me that, that could be God speaking to me. You see, it is one thing to be obedient to what we think He wants us to do, and it is another thing to be obedient to His voice. That could come from anywhere, but that is where our safety is, you see. It is not easy to be obedient because sometimes you are obedient to the wrong voice.
So, we see that there is an imparted anointing which is the weaving together of the mind to the personality, and once the mind is woven into the personality, that mind cannot dissolve. I believe it can be brought down, but it takes much stronger methods, and at the moment, if I know what those methods are, it is not coming to me right now. It would really have to get the person to sin. You would really have to get the person to choose Satan and Leviathan over Christ Jesus, and that is very hard to do when the Christ mind is woven through the fabric of their personality, because for every mistake that they are making, that still, small voice is sounding, saying, you are going the wrong way, that is the wrong decision. So, it is very hard, and much harder to bring down an imparted Christ, although I believe that it is possible to do it until the person is glorified but very, very difficult.
So, we see in Verse 14 that Satan was the pin, the weaving pin; that was ready to weave herself through the fabric of the personalities of the mortal men of Judah. She was ready to give them an imparted anointing with the carnal mind. There was a time that I thought that it was not possible to escape from this condition, but I know that all things are possible with Christ. Praise the Lord.
Of course, the end of Verse 12 was that the Spirit of Elijah arose in Samson and shined forth from Samson and entered into the minds of the mortal men of Judah, and delivered them from Satan just before she was about to weave herself through their personality.
We have heard something about Wormwood judgment. In this ministry, we have studied it from time to time. Does anybody remember what Wormwood judgment is?
COMMENT: It will run its course to the very, very end.
PASTOR VITALE: Right, even if you repent you cannot stop the judgment.
In other words, well, this is what happened to Judah when they were sent into captivity in Babylon. With all of their cries, and prayers, and repentance they still had to stay the allotted amount of time in Babylon. Recently, we had an international evangelist go to jail. It was a big scandal. I think there were a lot of people that thought surely the Lord would deliver him from jail, but that was Wormwood judgment. Apparently, he had not heeded....I think the man was anointed at some point, I thought he was a servant of God, and he went off somewhere, and he went under Wormwood judgment. He was not delivered from his jail sentence.
Now, I used to think....now look, this is a perfect example of how the carnal mind misjudges and condemns Christ Jesus continuously. It is the way we think. Our thought process is corrupted. I used to think that Wormwood judgment meant punishment, that God said, well, this is what you did, and now the judgment has fallen on you, and I am not going to deliver you because the only way you are going to change is by having this bad experience. Do you know that I believed that, up until this moment? But the Lord just told me what Wormwood judgment is.
Wormwood judgment occurs when, despite the fact that the Lord is doing everything that He can to deliver you, you still continue to agree with your carnal mind to the point that Satan does weave you through into an imparted anointing with her mind, and it could take years to dissolve your personality which is now woven together with Satan's spirit. It is not that God is punishing you. It is not that the Lord is saying, well, you reap what you sowed, and it was so serious that I forgive you, but you still have to serve your time. No. The Lord would deliver us every time, immediately, but sometimes we get ourselves into a condition that it takes longer to deliver us from than other situations. So you see, no matter how much trouble we get into, when we are still joined to Christ Jesus, if we fall down He picks us right back up and sets us on our feet, and we just go our merry way, continue to serve Him. But if we depart from Him, even if it is through ignorance, if we depart from Him to the point that Satan thrusts in her weaving pin and weaves herself together with our personality, it could take years to untangle us from her web. It is not that Jesus has pronounced so many years on us, and there is no repentance.
Brethren, every bad thing that happens to us is our own fault. The Lord wants to teach us, He wants to join with us, He wants to bless us, and He wants only good things for us. Every bad thing that happens to us is because of sin, even if we are ignorant that we are sinning at that moment. The Lord is not the author of confusion. He is the author of Life, and anything that comes into our existence that opposes the peace and serenity and the contentment of His life is coming from our carnal mind. Wrong thinking, wrong attitudes, wrong logic, wrong mechanism. Praise the Lord.
There is a lot of revelation coming forth these days. I want to write that down so I will remember it all. Wormwood judgment is Satan's imparted anointing. Now, remember that before Judah went into Wormwood judgment in Babylon the Lord sent Jeremiah the prophet to them, but they told him he was not of God, and they tried to kill him when he told them the truth. God help us. I am telling you, brethren; that I am before the Lord continually, not only saying, please let me have your thoughts in all things, but I am begging Him to correct every wrong thought in my mind. And, when I pray, the word please comes out of my mouth, and I correct myself every time. No, Lord, not just please, I am begging you, deliver me; reveal to me every thought that I am living by that is not from your mind because there is only death in it. I know that I could be wrong about anything, I could be wrong about a spiritual discernment, I could be wrong about a revelation that He gives me, I could be wrong about the motives of a person. There is not anything that I could not be wrong about. And I am having the victory that I am having today in my life, someone who should have been dead years ago, whose life was an absolute disaster on every level, I am walking in this victory today because He has given me the grace to understand what is His mind and to follow after and obey.
You cannot obey if you do not know what is Him and what is somebody else, and sometimes we can hear God's will for us in certain areas and not in other areas. Satan will stop you wherever she can. If she cannot stop you from following after Him as to how you spend your money, or if she cannot stop you from being obedient as to what church you go to, well, she will give it up. Alright, spend your money like He wants you to spend your money, alright, go to the church He wants you to go to, but when it comes to Christ being imparted to you, you could be completely blinded in that area. So, to cleave to a knowledge that you really hear from God in certain areas, and to take that knowledge to mean that you hear from Him in all areas, that is not the thinking of Christ, you see. That is wrong thinking; that is your carnal mind right in there, because I know that I can be deceived from second to second.
This is the whole purpose of why we need the Glorified Jesus Christ, because even if Christ is imparted to us, if He is woven together with our personality in some measure He is not fully mature in us until He is fully born again in us, and we would know when He is fully born again in us because we will stop being subject to infirmity and death, and we will stop being subject to all of the problems of this world, when He is fully born again in us. Even when He is fully born again in us, we must be joined or re-joined to the Glorified Jesus Christ. Well, that is the full birth. Christ Jesus matures in us and matures in us and matures in us, and then eventually He marries the Glorified Jesus Christ, and He is fully born again into the Kingdom of God, and, we, the personality that He is married to, ascends with Him. Praise the Lord. God help us along, we cannot make it without You, Lord. We will not make it, there is no mortal man that will make it without the Glorified Jesus Christ, you see. No matter how much wisdom you have. I have a lot of wisdom, but I know that I could be absolutely blind. At any time, I could be blinded. Jesus has to help me.
We are picking up with Verse 12b at the bottom of Page 4. And so the Spirit of Elijah, Adam's linear spirit within Samson's throat energy center, separated Adam within the mortal men of Judah from Satan's spiralline waters. Now, this is very interesting. We had some teaching at a couple of On-Line Meetings last year which brought the truth that Satan moves in a spiralline pattern, curves, spirals, but that Christ Jesus or any member of the household of God moves in a straight line. We know that Adam's geometrical expression is a parallelogram. His geometric expression is a four-sided image, the pairs of lines parallel to one another, and that a triangle is Satan's geometric expression, and that she moves in a spiralline pattern; therefore, we can say that if our carnal mind tries to escape from our own carnal mind....let us say the good side of our carnal mind tries to escape from the evil side, she will just get snared because....well, let me put this on the board for you.
We are looking at Drawing #1, and I have made this very simple. I have shown Satan's waters as a spiralline image, and I have shown the good side of the personality. The personality is made from earth, and the earth is Satan's major component. She is earth and water. So even the good side of our personality is in a spiralline format. So when we, out of our goodness, try to ascend above Satan we see that we get snagged in her waters. But when we try to ascend beyond Satan's influence with the Spirit of Christ which is a straight line, that straight line pierces right through the snags just like a sewing needle going through a piece of fabric. You cannot penetrate a piece of fabric with another piece of fabric, but you can penetrate a piece of fabric with a needle, and that is what Jesus was talking about.
As soon as we get this off the board, I am going to unlock for you the mystery of Jesus' parable about a camel going through the eye of the needle which He has just shown me. Are there any questions on this board? Again, it is a principle of homosexuality. See, the good side of our personality is spiritually female trying to pass through another spiritual female. Cannot be done, you see. You get snagged. What happens is the good side of you which is spiritually female gets snagged with Satan and becomes Satan's servant. As a matter of fact, the Lord is reminding me right now....there is such a spirit of revelation flowing here this morning, the Lord is reminding me right now that in the Alternate Translation of the New Testament, if anyone wants the Scripture I can find it for you, but there is a translation there....well, I do not know if it is the New Testament, it may from the Proverbs from the Old Testament, but there is an Alternate Translation that says, if you seek spiritual experiences outside of Christ you will meet Satan, and you will fall down under her power. And this is exactly what has happened here. The person who is trying to ascend above Satan or pass through Satan to a point of beyond her authority will contact Satan, and will get snagged by Satan and will become her servant.
Brethren, this is the truth. Many people in the world think that they have a gift, they can read cards or they can tell you the future, and they think that whoever this entity is that is giving them all this wisdom and knowledge, I have met people and I have seen them on TV that they think they are really controlling this entity, and that the entity or the "Genie in the Bottle" is serving them. Then, they take so many favors from this entity, and all of a sudden they find out that they are in bondage to the entity.
This is spiritual wisdom. Anyone that is spiritual knows this. The problem with Western society and Christendom is that we have become spiritually very ignorant. I do not believe it was ever the Lord's intention that we should become this ignorant, but, somehow, Judeo Christian society has fallen down into this intellectualism and secularism, and they give all of the glory, I am generalizing, of course, to their own selves. There is almost no spirituality, even in the church today. They think they are giving glory to God, but they are doing things out of their carnal mind, and they think it is God, but it is not God. What I am talking about here is deep spiritual truth. What I just tried to say really did not come out right.
The church is not spiritual. They are not spiritual, they are all in the works of the flesh, and I am not saying that is bad. There is a place to run shelters and help the homeless and feed the hungry, but what I am saying that because we have fallen from spirituality we now become vulnerable to Satan's spirituality. What I am saying is, if we were educated about spirituality we would understand why we should not get involved with Satan's spirituality because you can never ascend above Satan's spirituality with your own spirit. When you ascend into her spirituality, she will grab your spirit and weave you together with herself, and you will fall into a deep pit.
The only spirit that can pass through Satan, the only spirit that can give you spiritual experiences without being snared by Satan, is the Spirit of Christ. And the church is incredibly ignorant about spiritual things. The church and all of Western society, with some few exceptions, are very ignorant of the dangers of dabbling in the spiritual life without Christ and without holiness. You cannot have Christ if you do not have holiness. So if you think you have Christ, and you also think it is OK to be in fornication you have received a lie because it is not Christ, you see. If you are living with someone that you are not married to, you are not ascending in Christ. You have got another spirit that is telling you that it is Christ, but it is not Christ.
So, it is another form of spiritual homosexuality. A spiralline spirit cannot pass through another spiralline spirit. You are going to get snagged. One piece of cloth cannot pass through another piece of cloth, but a needle, a straight line, which is the spirit of Christ, can pass through a spiralline spirit without getting snagged.
All of the people today who think they are so sophisticated, and they are dabbling in Hinduism and Buddhism and Theosophy and whatever else they are dabbling in, they think they are very sophisticated, and they are experiencing ascension. But this is the ascension they are experiencing, they are ascending into the spiral, and when they get all the way to the top they are going to hit a blank wall, and there is going to be no place to go except down, and they are going to be curved around in the image of Satan. Cannot get through the wall. Cloth cannot get through cloth. A woman has no physical means to penetrate another woman. That is the message. Any questions on this board? I have another drawing for you.
Luke 18:25; For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God. Mark 10:25; It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God. Luke 23:24; Ye blind guides which strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Well, praise the Lord, brethren, I have to tell you that the King James translation or the King James translators did the best they could to make sense out of these Scriptures. But their carnal mind did not tell them the truth.
Jesus was not saying that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle....what He was saying is that it is easier for the needle to go through the opening rather than a camel. And that Greek word translated "eye" is Strong's #5168, and it means orifice which means opening, any opening; an orifice is any opening. So if you look at the illustration or the drawing, you will see that this world that we are a part of is a woven fabric, and I guess I should go over what I have written on the board with you. Let me do that.
As you can see, I have drawn our world as a grid. It is just a piece of woven fabric with a warp and a woof, and this is the spiritual wilderness. It is the background as if you have a piece of mesh, women or some men whoever wants to do petit point or weave a design into a piece of mesh and form a picture, this world has a background, and the background or the threads of earth. And it is supposed to be the Spirit of Christ weaving through the earthen part of the creation to form a visible world. We are a woven garment. We are, and the earth and the trees outside, everything on this planet is made of the same substance in different proportions and in a different configuration. There are certain...so many chemicals that are found in this world, and when I say a different configuration I mean that the proportions of some chemicals to other chemicals in man are related differently than the proportion of these chemicals in a tree or in the earth, but it is all the same chemicals that form our physical bodies, that form the wood that this house is made of, that form the trees and the animals. It is all the same substance.
I got into a hassle once with someone in an On-Line chat room, and it was a religion chat room, and this woman, I think it was a woman, she was really out to prove that there was no difference between the animals and human beings because science has proven that we are all made of the same substance. And she had me, and I had to pray. I said, Lord what do I say to her, and the Lord's answer to me was, human beings are of a different configuration. And this woman was fighting with everyone in the chat room, and when I told her that she would not talk to me after that. She talked to everyone else in the chat room, she would not say anything to me, so I know I definitely heard from God and it was the right answer.
The relationship between the different chemicals that form the creation are unique in man. The relationship of the chemicals of our substance, the patterns that the chemicals take, and their relationships to one another are not found in animals or in trees or in fish. This is what the binary code is based upon. What am I getting into here? The binary code is something that is used with computers. It is a code language, and there are only two numbers - a zero and a one, but there are potentially so many different statements that can be made by using these two numbers. You can have three zeroes and a one, two zeroes and two ones, five zeroes and one, one. Does anybody know what I am talking about? You can just make up so many combinations of the two numbers, zero and one, that a whole computer code is written. It is called the binary code, and it has to do with the relationships of the number zero to the number one, and how many zeroes you have and how many ones you have.
And this principle, or a principle very similar to it, is manifested in our genes. The genes that are on our chromosomes. There are only so many genes known to man. I do not know the number, I think it is a couple of hundred. I think there are several hundred genes known to man, but when the body or whoever is orchestrating, making, a man you can put these....let us say 300, that is not the right number, but let us say 300. You can use these 300 genes to relate to each other in so many different ways that you have millions of combinations of just these few genes. And that is how we are programmed to have blue eyes or blond hair or to be fat or skinny, to have a big nose or a little nose. It is all written in the programming of our genes, and there are only so many genes, but possibly an infinite or a very, very great number of combinations available of these genes.
What I am saying here is pretty much what I was saying on Drawing #1. The spiral spirit cannot pass through another spiral spirit, and the spiralline spirit is spiritually female. We have to have a spiritually male spirit to penetrate through a female spirit. The male spirit is linear, the female spirit is spiralline or circular, and we are trapped here. This world is a prison house for hurtful spirits. Our spirits are spiritually criminal right now. Does anybody know why our spirits are spiritually criminal? Because we are joined to Satan. The human spirit flows with Satan in our fallen condition. So we are in jail, you see, and this whole world is programmed in such a manner that it is a woven garment, there is a warp and a woof woven together, and our spirit is trapped in this world which the Scripture calls the desert. We cannot get out because our spirit is attached to our earthen personality and earthen physical body.
The Scripture calls us a camel, and the Lord has just revealed this to us. There is a lot of revelation coming forth today. I have been asking the Lord for years what the camel means because I work with the meanings of the individual letters in the Hebrew, and there is one letter which means camel's neck. Until today, I did not know the significance of that. The Lord has now revealed that the goat....I have been telling you for a long time now that the goat is the Devil, the goat is the personality who is in agreement with the carnal mind. That is what I have been telling you for a long time, and that is just another name for the Devil. But today, the Lord reveals that the goat is the personality that is on its evil side that is joined with the carnal mind, but there is also a company of people in this world who choose to do good, who choose to serve Jesus and do good. And that company of people who live on the good side of their carnal mind....of course, they are still joined to their carnal mind because we are all fallen, they are the camels. These people who choose to do good and resist Satan's waters are in a spiritual desert. The people who choose to be good and resist using Satan's power to accomplish and attain the blessings of this world. We do not have any water. Well, that is not us because we have found Christ, but this is generally speaking. People who have not received Christ or have not received the Holy Spirit. See, the water is either the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Christ.
Right now, I am in a spiritual desert. I see myself in this. If you are a camel....if you are resisting using Satan's power, you are in the desert until the Spirit of Christ pours forth. I was just telling someone the other day, it was probably somebody here, that sometimes it is just very hard walking this walk. Studying all the time, fasting from the things of this world does not bother me, but being under Satan's pressure and oppression is very hard. Several months ago I had the opportunity to go to a church where there was a visiting organist playing, and this man was so anointed that the Holy Spirit fell with such a wonderful spirit that I was up for three days, that heavy anointing of the Holy Spirit released my pressure of my warfare of fighting with Satan every day. We do not have that outpouring here, and as I told you the other day the reason we do not have it is that the Holy Spirit changed form in us. I remember when the Lord first took me out of the church where there was that tremendous outpouring, I sat down and cried. I said, Lord I want that back, and He spoke to me, and He said, that same Holy Spirit is in you in another form, and I did not know what He meant. That was 10 or 13-14 years ago. I did not know what He meant.
The gifts are passing away because the Holy Spirit is passing away because when Christ grafts to you the Holy Spirit passes away, and you begin to enter into a program of study and self-introspection. You enter into a program of study that will build Christ in you, and of looking into yourself to identify your sin nature so that you, the personality, can cleave to Christ when He kills your sin nature. And the Holy Spirit or the waters seem to have gone. We are in the desert, but there will be a piercing through. There will be a time when Christ will build in us to a point that the Spirit of Christ pours through. Not the Holy Spirit now, it is the Spirit of Christ. Does anybody remember the difference between the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Christ?
COMMENT: The Holy Spirit is the water and the energy, and the Spirit of Christ is the seed and the water combined.
PASTOR VITALE: Right. I will just make it clearer. That is true. First of all we are talking about Jehovah's seminal fluid which is appearing to us today as the glorified Jesus Christ, and all seminal fluid has two sides, water and seed. The Holy Spirit is the water or the energy side of Jehovah's seminal fluid which is the glorified Jesus Christ to us today. And the Spirit of Christ is the water and the seed.
Right now we have the seed here. We have that humble seed that has the potential to grow up into a great Tree of Life in immortality. The humble seed has the potential to grow up into immortality. The Holy Spirit does not have that potential. The Holy Spirit gives you power to be healed of physical diseases and emotional diseases, more physical than emotional, and to cast out demons. The Holy Spirit comes with gifts, but His primary purpose is to point you to Christ. His primary purpose is to cleanse you to the point that the seed of Christ, the humble seed can be grafted to you, and once that happens He tends to begin to leave you. Just like when a male sperm grafts to a female ovum, both the male sperm and the ovum cease to exist. We have a whole new entity called a zygote, the first cell of the new baby.
I can speak in tongues, but it is very rare that I speak in tongues. The gifts are passing away, and Christ in me is shining forth, but the Spirit of Christ which is in Christ does not shine to the degree that the Holy Spirit shines in a very anointed Pentecostal-type service. Well, what does that mean? Sheila, you must be deceived. No, I am not deceived. Christ in me is not mature enough yet to shine like the Holy Spirit shines. The Holy Spirit, you get Him just like He is. Now we each have different gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit that everybody gets. Christ is at all different ages of maturity. So, apparently, Christ Jesus in me is not mature enough for the Spirit of Christ to be pouring out with the intensity that we see the Holy Spirit pouring out. But I believe, from everything that the Lord has taught me, that day is coming that the Spirit of Christ will arise out of these long years of study and work and hardship. All we need is that anointing, and all of the torment and pain goes away. Sometimes I am in torment in my mind from Satan's affliction.
If there was a local church that had that kind of an anointing that I experienced of the Holy Spirit in this area, if the Lord would let me, I would go. I was up for three days. Felt wonderful, but there is no church with that kind of an anointing in this area. So I have to wait until the Spirit of Christ pours forth in me, whenever that will be. So I am in the desert, and everyone who is studying in this ministry who does not have that opportunity to be under that tremendous anointing of the Holy Spirit, you are in the desert with me because you have chosen to obey the Lord and pursue this course of study.
Now, please understand that the Spirit of Christ, when He breaks forth, will be greater than the greatest manifestation you have ever experienced of the Holy Spirit. Can you imagine that? I cannot even imagine it, because in an outstanding outpouring of the Holy Spirit there are all kind of healings and miracles. The Spirit of Christ can do more. The Spirit of Christ does everything that the Holy Spirit does plus He imparts the Life of Christ which is our potential for immortality. So, it is coming, but we do not have it now. I am in the desert. I have been in the desert for a long time.
So we see the people who are devoted to Christ and resisting Satan's illegal power....and let me remind you that her illegal power is not just talking about Satanism or voodoo, Satan's illegal power includes envy, malice of all kinds, pride, malignant pride that will blame someone else to get one's self off of the hook, pride that will not take responsibility for wrong doing. This is all Satanic power, so when you resist these sins you are a camel that is walking in the desert. And I want to tell you that if you want to get delivered from this world, you are not getting delivered from the right side of the heart center which is flooded with Satan's waters where you are signified as a goat. It is only the camels that are getting delivered. A camel can go for a long time without spiritual water. A physical camel can go for a long time without physical water, and a spiritual camel can go for a long time without spiritual water. It is dry around here.
Even when a tremendous anointing pours out here, it is a different anointing than in the Holy Ghost. It is a totally different thing, and it feels good, it calms me, it has many good effects on me, but it rarely lasts more than 24 hours, if that. So there is more coming, there is more coming.
The woven fabric of the spiritual world is a tapestry, and the spiritual man is the image in the tapestry. We are a goat if we are yielding to Satan's influence, and we are a camel if we are resisting her. And you must be one or the other. There is nothing in the middle; although, it is possible that you are resisting overall, but in certain areas you are blind. The camel is getting out of this world. The goat is not. But the whole man cannot get out.
There is a whole element of the church that thinks they are taking this physical body with them. This physical body is in the image of Satan. It is not going out. Just the spirit is going out. The Spirit of Christ that is in the Mind of Christ can penetrate the orifice. Eye means orifice, opening. If you see a camera, if you read the specs on certain cameras they will talk about the orifice, the eye of the camera that you look through to focus the image to take the picture. It is an orifice. Well, when you have a woven garment, there are little orifices, you see. This is the warp going horizontally, and the woof going vertically, and the warp and the woof create little squares. Each one of these squares is an orifice that can be penetrated. That is how a needle goes through a piece of fabric. A piece of fabric is a woven garment with threads going horizontally and vertically, and when you penetrate it with a needle to sew, the needle finds it way through these little holes. Does anybody not understand that?
The linear Spirit of Christ is the needle that can pass through the fabric of the tapestry of this fallen world which is a prison house. The camel cannot get through. The King James translation got it backwards. I do not fault them, but the carnal mind always gets it backwards. It is not easier for a camel to go through. It is easier for the needle to go through. A camel cannot make it through. Jesus was saying....I have not done an Alternate Translation, but He was saying something like, it is not so easy for a camel to get through the openings in the fabric of the spiritual tapestry, but the needle can get through the opening. Not the eye of the needle, the needle can get through the opening. The needle can get through the eye, the needle can get through the orifice.
So, if you want to get out of here, you have to have the Mind of Christ grafted to you, and the Spirit of Christ must mature enough in you to ascend beyond this criminal world into the true time line of Christ Jesus, and if you follow along that path long enough, and you mature enough, eventually your whole spiritual man will penetrate out of this world, and your physical body will cease to exist. That is what happened to Jesus.
You see, in this fallen world, when we die, when someone dies, the spirit leaves the body, and the physical body falls limp and, eventually, deteriorates and turns to dust. Is that not so? OK. Spiritually speaking, when the spiritual man penetrates beyond the tapestry of this world up into this high place of the true time line in the manner that Jesus Christ did....it was so complete, where His emergence and His departure from this world was so complete, brethren, the atoms that formed this physical body dissolved. They dissolve, and there is no dust. It would be as if that physical body never existed when the spiritual man departs.
So, the camel is not going out, but the ram is going out. Christ Jesus, the ram, is going out, but the camel stays in the desert. So Christ Jesus, the strong tower is the spiritual male who penetrates the female earth. This is the needle. Christ Jesus, the strong tower, the spiritual male who penetrates the female earth, is the needle. The whole man which is the camel cannot go through the orifice. The openings where the warp and the woof interweave are too small for the whole camel or the whole man to go through. Why? Because the whole man, which is made of the earth, is made of spiralline patterns of molecules. If I have a piece of cloth, I cannot put a cup through it. I could put a needle through it, but I cannot put a cup through it, I cannot put a plate through it, I cannot put my foot through it. Why? Because they are all broad, but the needle, the linear needle passes through the openings in the fabric.
So, the King James translators did the best they could. They saw a Greek word that could be translated "eye," and they saw a Greek word that could be translated "needle," and they thought it was the eye of the needle. The needle goes through the orifice. The carnal mind always gets it backwards, always, always, always, always gets it backwards. Are there any questions about this drawing?
There was one other Scripture there. I think it was the one that you read that is a little different. Can you read that for us again?
COMMENT: Matthew 23, Verse 24, Ye blind guide would strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.
PASTOR VITALE: OK, I picked out this verse because it had to do with a camel. I will comment on it briefly.
Jesus is rebuking the Pharisees, calling them blind guides. Brethren, do you know that we have a spirit guide, that if you have Christ you have a spirit guide. We do not hear that expression used in the church. It is usually associated with the Occult, and it is usually a bad thing that you have got a spirit guide influencing you, but Christ is our spirit guide. And whoever Christ is manifesting through is a guide to whoever Christ sends that personality to. Whatever personality has Christ living in them and is controlled by Christ, whoever Christ sends that personality to, that personality is a guide to that person. Christ is the spirit guide, and the personality that Christ dwells in is a guide to the person that He is sent to. A guide for what? A guide to the Kingdom of God. Oh, I thought all you had to do was ask Him to come in? No, you need a guide to get to the Kingdom of God because if you try to do it yourself, unless you have a special dispensation from the Lord saying that He will take you directly, which is not typical, you are going to wind up in the kingdom of darkness, and you are going to think it is the Kingdom of God, but it is going to be the kingdom of darkness.
Well, you say, do not you think I could tell the difference between the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness? And my answer to you, can you tell the difference between the hell of your fantasy...
Do you know that this world is hell? You think this world is a good place because you have a fantasy idea in your mind of what the true hell is, and you do not recognize that this is hell. Well, if you have some fantasy idea of what the Kingdom of God is, you can be in the kingdom of darkness and think that you are in the Kingdom of God.
Jesus was calling the Pharisees guides because, at that time, Israel was the physical guide to the world to Jehovah. That is the truth. Israel was the guides to the world to the one, true, and living God. And in this hour, the church is in that role. We are supposed to be the guides to the peoples of the world who do not know Jesus Christ, and Jehovah through Jesus Christ. And the church has a false message.
So if you have Christ in you, you are a guide, and if you are delivering the false message you are a blind guide. You are a blind guide because the message you deliver will never get them into the Kingdom of God. So Jesus is rebuking the Pharisees, and this is what He is saying, Ye blind guides. What kind of guides are you? And in another place He says, If you are blind, you are going to lead the blind, and you are both going to fall into the ditch. And what is the ditch? Anybody know what the ditch is? The ditch is the lower centers. You are going to fall into the ditch, you are going to fall into the lower centers.
This physical world is hell, but there are different levels of hell. I am in this physical world, I am in hell, but my consciousness, much of the time is in the fourth and fifth centers. But I have been in the lower centers. I have been in the lower centers, and, let me tell you, it is hell.
So this is what you do, Jesus says. You are blind guides, you are guides that have no spiritual light, and you strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Well, what a strange thing to say. The Greek word translated "strain" means to strain out, and the word "gnat" actually comes from two Greek words; one of which means to sting, and the other means to gaze, voluntary observation. Who has the sting? Who has the stinger in the Scripture? Can anybody tell us that? Who has the stinger?
COMMENT: Satan, the sting of death, and then the scorpions on the Son of God.
PASTOR VITALE: OK, I guess there is a sting on both sides, but I believe that what Jesus is saying here is that you look, voluntary observation, you look into the spirit, and you see the stingers of the Sons of God. You see that it is painful to put down your carnal mind and transfer into your Christ mind. You see the judgment of God coming to sting your carnal mind, and you strain it out.
That is just another way of Jesus saying, By your traditions, you make the power of God of no effect. By saying that you have the choice of whether you take care of your parents, you make the blessings that the law would bring upon you for honoring your parents, of no effect. If you do everything necessary to take care of your parents, but your heart is saying, I am doing it, it is not the law, I have no obligation to do it, but I am doing it. This is pride. And I am exaggerating now to help you understand. I am this great one, look at me, I take care of my parents. You see, if you acknowledge that it is an obligation, I am honoring my parents, but by exalting yourself and saying, it is not an obligation and making yourself a great one for doing it, you are cutting off all of the blessings that you should receive for honoring your parents and taking care of them. You are not a great one. It is an obligation. You have to do it.
So Jesus is saying, You see the sting of the Sons of God, you see the judgment, but you strain it out. Your pride strains it out, and, instead of receiving the judgment that is going to bring in the Spirit of Christ into your life and all of the blessings when you accept the responsibility. What responsibility? Of judging your own carnal mind. Instead of doing that, you, the camels, and we have already said who the camels are. The camels are the personalities who are living out of the good side of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and denying or refusing to use Satan's power to accomplish their goals in this world. You, the camels, swallow down Satan. It does not say Satan there, but I am telling you that this is what the spirit of revelation has told me that this verse means.
You are the camels, you blind guides; you are the camels. You are in the desert. Why do not you go all the way? You have the law of God, you have the Word of God, you are doing the sacrifices, you are doing everything, but you will not judge your carnal mind. You are cutting off the judgment that is going to accomplish everything that all these others things that you are doing are leading to. You have the Word, you have the law, you have the priests, you have the prophets, but if you do not submit to the judgment you are not going to receive the fruit that brings eternal life. You are straining out the fruit that brings eternal life by refusing the judgment. How do you refuse the judgment? How were they refusing the judgment? They are saying, I am righteous. I am righteous because I am taking care of my parents. I am righteous because I am tithing. I am righteous because I keep the law. That is how you strain out the judgment. That is what we were talking about this morning. I cannot go off the message right now, but it is the same principle. Ask the Lord to help you to understand it.
This is how they killed themselves spiritually, by straining out the judgment. So, you, the camels, you the ones that are on the good side of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, who are resisting using Satan's power, when you resist the judgment, when you strain out the judgment, you swallow down Satan's waters.
Brethren, there is nothing in the middle. It is either one way or the other, you see. As soon as you resist the judgment, Satan floods in on you, and we had an exhortation on the flood at the beginning of this message on. This does not mean that if one day you are resisting the judgment, Satan floods in on you. This is talking about an overall attitude which is not true of you. If your overall attitude is that you refuse the judgment, you who are a camel, someone who is serving God in the desert, hoping for deliverance, you are cutting off all of your deliverance and all of your blessings by straining the judgment out, and that the next thing that happens after that is that Satan comes flooding in on you.
This is what Noah's flood was all about, with the beings that lived on the other side of the flood which were the descendants of Seth. I believe that, consistently, this is the problem with people who have served God. Some people are willing to put up with all kinds of persecution to serve God, all kinds of sacrifice and loss, financial loss, loss of a career, all kinds of loss, but when it comes to judging the hidden sins of the heart, when it comes to having Satan in their own unconscious mind exposed, they strain out the judgment. And the result is that somewhere along the line they swallow down Satan's power. Is there anybody here that did not understand what I just said?
We are having some very deep revelation today of what Jesus meant with these statements that seem to make no sense at all. But, of course, we do not really know what Jesus said. This is the King James translation of what He supposedly said. I do not believe Jesus said, you are going to swallow down a camel. How could you swallow down a camel? The camel is going to swallow down, but the word "Satan" is missing. And I have told you this many times, that there are words missing in the Scripture, there are words missing in the Hebrew, so this is not even a Greek situation. If you do not have the revelation of what the Scripture is talking about, you will not be able to put in the missing word, and you will never understand it.
See, this Scripture....come out of her, I rebuke you in the Name of Jesus....this Scripture, even the Hebrew Scripture which is much more accurate than the Greek Scripture, is abbreviated. It is a point of contact that is intended to be brought to life by the Spirit of Christ. To read this Word, even to read the Alternate Translation Bible which has come forth under the spirit of revelation, to read that without the Spirit of Christ operating in you it is a dead book. It is a point of contact that is designed to be used by the Spirit of Christ within you to bring forth revelation and enlightenment in your personal vessel. If you read it without the Spirit of Christ, it might hurt you if your carnal mind uses it against you, but I do not know. But I know that to do the work that it is designed to do, you, the reader, must be reading by the Spirit of Christ.
Now, if you do not have the Spirit of Christ, and the Lord directs you to this Alternate Translation, well, then you read it. I know when I first came to the Lord I could not bear reading the King James translation. I did not understand a word of it, especially the Old Testament. It was painful for me to read it, but I set myself a goal, and I read so many chapters a night. It was painful. I was squirming all over the place while I was reading it. It was less than a year, I think after about 8 months, I had a breakthrough. After I did that labor, after I performed that sacrifice, because I believed it was what God wanted me to do, after about 8 months, the spirit of revelation appeared in my mind, and I started to understand, and I have not stopped yet. And I pray the spirit of revelation never stops working in me.
Is there anyone who does not understand that the word "Satan" is missing? That it is a mystery that Jesus is saying, that you, the camel, will swallow down Satan if you strain out the judgment that will reveal Satan in your own heart. Look brethren, if you refuse to identify Satan in your own heart and our own mind and your own thoughts, that means that you are preferring her over Christ, and you, therefore, swallow her down. You see, you had to reject Satan to become a camel. Symbolically speaking, a camel, someone whose personality is living on the good side of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and living a life of abstinence of sin to the best of your ability, waiting for the Spirit of God to bring life to you, water in the desert, and when you come to that desert place just as the Hebrew children did it is the time to have Satan who you have restrained up until this point, you have restrained Satan, now the Lord wants you to recognize that she is not outside of you, but that she is within you, and He wants you to face the thoughts that she is generating in you that you have not restrained because you never knew they were from her. You know murder is from her, you know armed robbery is from her, you know homosexuality is from her, you know adultery is from her, but it is not so easy to recognize envy, manipulation, or pride in your every day thoughts.
So, you have come this far, the Lord is identifying you as a camel. You have resisted Satan's waters, and now you are at a cross road. Either you will recognize her in the nitty-gritty thoughts of your everyday conversation and continue to defeat her, or, if you do not do that, the measure of Satan that you have had under control all these years will rise up like a flood, and you will swallow her down, or she will swallow you up. I have not really studied this out. I guess she will swallow you up. Satan will swallow you, the camel up, and you will not be a camel any more. You will be a goat. Is that awesome? I think that is an awesome understanding. I really thank you, Lord, for that understanding.
Also, as I was drawing this morning, the Lord gave me a revelation on what happened when Moses struck the rock instead of speaking to the rock. I will remind you that the Hebrew children were in the wilderness which is the desert, and they were thirsty, and they were complaining, and they wanted water. I have told you many times that I do not know if the Hebrew children were in a physical desert or not. I would not argue with anyone over it. I know that the historians and the archeologists claim that Mount Sinai has never been located, and that the Sinai desert has been poured over by archeologists, and there has not been found any sign whatsoever of the Hebrew children crossing that desert.
Now, it could have happened in the physical, but I am a spiritual teacher, brethren, and I believe that the whole account of the Hebrew children in the wilderness was spiritual. It may have been physical also or not. It may have been physical also or not. I will not argue with you about it. If you want to believe it was physical, maybe it was. I do not know. But I know that it was also spiritual, and we did a whole series on Moses during which the Lord revealed that the Hebrew children had been enslaved by the mystery religion of the Egyptians, and that the spiritual definition of Pharaoh....does anybody remember the spiritual definition of Pharaoh? We had this in a recent message. You remember huh, good for you.
COMMENT: The name of somebody ascended to the 7th level of ascension in Satan's time line.
PASTOR VITALE: Well, you are close. Let us hear what she has to say.
COMMENT: I think it was Leviathan.
PASTOR VITALE: Well, if I put both your answers together, we have the answer.
Pharaoh was the name of Leviathan when he is married to the Fiery Serpent who is ascended into the 7th energy center. Leviathan becomes Pharaoh. So we see that the Hebrew children that were dwelling in Egypt, and I am inclined to believe that they were physically dwelling in Egypt, I do not know where to draw the line with this physical/spiritual, but I believe they were physically dwelling in Egypt. They were overtaken, the Christ mind in them or Adam who was regenerated in them, was overtaken by the mystery religion of Egypt, and they were engaged in witchcraft practices. The Fiery Serpent was ascended all the way into the 7th energy center where she becomes the swine, and she marries Leviathan who becomes Pharaoh. And when Moses led them out of Egypt, physical or not, what happened to them spiritually was that the Fiery Serpent was cast down in them. How can you say that Sheila? Well, Pharaoh was defeated, and Pharaoh was killed in the Red Sea. Well, how was Pharaoh killed in the red sea? How did Leviathan cease to become Pharaoh?
Now remember, our definition of Pharaoh is Leviathan married to the Fiery Serpent ascended into the 7th energy center. So if the Fiery Serpent is cast down out of the 7th energy center, Pharaoh dies, and he becomes just Leviathan again. If you can hear it. And every time the Hebrew children departed from Egypt, Pharaoh let them go, the Fiery Serpent descended, and then the Scriptures say that Pharaoh went out after her again. Pharaoh descended down into the....I do not know how low down she goes into the 4th center or even the 3rd center looking to get the Fiery Serpent back and raise her back up to the 7th center again. Why? So that Leviathan can be Pharaoh.
Pharaoh was drown in the Red Sea. It probably means the Spirit of Christ. Pharaoh is not going to drown in Satan, not going to drown in Satan's sea. Leviathan is at home in Satan's sea. So, if he was drown in the Red Sea he had to be drown in the Spirit of Christ. Adam's color is red, and the Spirit of Christ is within Adam, or in the Old Testament we would see Elohim. Was in the regenerated Adam, so the Spirit of Christ typifies....I am sorry, the Red Sea typifies Elohim.
Well, you do not even have to believe this. If you are listening to this message or if you are sitting here in this room, you do not have to believe this revelation if you do not want to, but can I invite you to follow along with this line of thinking so that we can investigate what really happened when Moses smote the rock? I have never believed the parable that we read here, that Moses did not inherit because he hit the rock instead of talking to the rock. Do you really think he was to talk to a physical rock, and that because he hit a physical rock that he did not inherit? Come on now, I do not believe in Santa Claus any more either.
So, we see the Hebrew children are in a spiritual wilderness. They are in a spiritual desert, they have become camels. Pharaoh, the Fiery Serpent ascended into the 7th energy center, is the swine. When she marries Leviathan, Leviathan becomes Pharaoh, and the personality that is joined to Pharaoh is the goat, also known as the Devil. So when Moses came in he killed a man, you see. Personally, I believe he killed that goat. That is what I really think happened, but I cannot get into that right now because I have not studied it. He cast down the Fiery Serpent in a man. The man lost his spiritual power. That is why they were so angry with him, that is why the Hebrews were so angry at him, he stripped them of their spiritual power.
Well, we see that Jehovah sent him back to challenge Pharaoh in the minds of the Hebrew children, and that when Moses brought down Pharaoh the Hebrew children followed him. Brethren, the same thing is going to happen today in this world. The Lord is raising up a Moses company, Moses and Aaron, He is raising up a two-witness company, and when that company is ready He will send them to people who believe that they love Jesus Christ, but do not really understand what the love of Jesus Christ is. Love is total submission and obedience, and you cannot submit to Jesus Christ with your carnal mind. So the true love of God is a submission to the judgment that will destroy your carnal mind so that the Son of the glorified Jesus Christ can be reproduced in you. That is the true love of God. If you love Me, you are going to do what I say. If you do not do what I say, that means you do not love me, see.
So, when this Moses company is ready the glorified Jesus Christ is sending this Moses company to the people who have the Holy Spirit who think that they love Jesus, and really believe that they are serving Him with all of their strength. But they are in their carnal mind, and they have the Holy Spirit. And Jesus is sending this Moses company to these people, one at a time. This kind of ministry goes to a person, one at a time. One person at a time, and that Moses company is going to cast down that Fiery Serpent. I think it is going to take a whole group of us. Going to cast down that Fiery Serpent. We are going to kill Pharaoh, and she is going to become just plain Leviathan again which is bad enough. And when that Fiery Serpent is cast down, that person will believe the Word of the Lord about the Doctrine of Christ and about the truth of the judgment of the hidden sins of your heart.
So, Moses and Aaron were raised up to a high spiritual place, much higher than we are now, and they were sent to the children of Israel. How many people they were sent to, I tend to have my doubts that they were sent to thousands of people at one time. I know that tradition says there were a couple of million people that came out of Egypt. I am not convinced of that, simply because I know what is involved in casting down the Fiery Serpent in somebody and killing Pharaoh. I know what is involved. I know how hard it is, I know how long it takes. So I have a problem believing that Moses and Aaron did this for a couple of thousand people, if not a million people at once. There is something I am not understanding here, but probably the truth is that this account of Moses, at least in some measure of it, is a parable. It is just a parable that is giving the information about this great work that was done for the Hebrew children. Maybe Moses....well obviously was more powerful than I am at this time, maybe he raised up people more quickly, and then all the people spread out and helped others. I do not know, but I believe that the way the story is written, it is primarily written to impart this knowledge to those who have the spirit of revelation, to look past the parable of how Israel, and we are spiritual Israel today, will regain the land that we lost. How we will get back up into the brow (6th) energy center and retain the spiritual power that was lost, both to Judah and to Israel, and the power is through the death of your carnal mind. That is when the power comes.
So, Moses was in the desert with these people. They were all camels. He had cast down the Fiery Serpent in them, Pharaoh was killed, the people were no longer partaking of Satan's witchcraft power, and they were thirsty for the spiritual life. I want to tell you, I am thirsty for the spiritual life. I have experienced great glory in God. I have seen God do very exciting things through me, but only a few times over my about 21 years in God, and for these last 12 years my assignment has been to study. I spend hours in front of my computer studying and teaching and helping other people see the hidden sins of their heart. There has not been great miracles in this ministry. There have been miracles but not outstanding miracles. I am a miracle that I am still alive, that I am healthier every day. I am a miracle. We have had some healings here but nothing miraculous, nothing outstanding, no exciting outpouring of the spirit. I have been in the desert for a long time. I have been in the desert for about 15 years, 15-16 years. I was raised up in a church where it was raining all the time, and then it stopped raining in that church, and then the Lord pulled me out, and then He started this ministry, and I have been in the desert all of this time.
So we see that Moses and the people that he was ministering to were in the desert. He had cast down their Fiery Serpent, they were not partaking of Satan's spiritual power, and he was educating them. That was the manna. That was the hidden manna. I am telling you, and I told you this in the Moses series, they were hungry for spiritual things, and he gave them the hidden manna, and they called it light bread, and they despised it. Why did they despise it? It exposed their sin. It exposed their sin nature, and it took the focus away from the person outside of them and put the focus upon themselves.
Every evil in our life is a reaping of some evil that we have sown. Jesus said, the prince of this world cometh, and he has nothing in me. Jesus sowed no evil, and He reaped no evil; therefore, when evil men killed His physical body the spiritual man lived. The King James translation says that the Hebrew children in the desert lusted for the garlic and the leeks of Egypt, but I declare to you, brethren, that in another Scripture it says that Pharaoh, not only required his slaves to make bricks, but he required them to make bricks without straw. And do you really think Pharaoh really fed these slaves garlic and leeks? Wake up church, wake up, wake up, wake up!
So we see the Hebrew children complaining that they did not have meat. They did not have deep spiritual doctrine. They had to start out small. After the Fiery Serpent was knocked down in them, you have to start at the beginning. This Doctrine of Christ has been unfolding here, formally, for 12 years now. Some people can come in with these recent messages and gleam something from them. Some people can get enough out of these messages to be listening to the latest messages, but some people cannot understand a word that I am saying. If you are one of those people you have to start with message #1.
So, they did not want to start with message #1. They wanted the meat. They wanted to go out to ministry right away. They wanted to counsel people right away. They did not want to settle down and live the life that I, and you with me, well you are with me here almost 9 years, all of you, I have been in this ministry for 12 years. They did not want to settle down to this life, this dry life in the desert with no outpouring of the spirit, no dancing. So they wanted water. They wanted spiritual experiences, and they murmured and they complained to Moses, and Moses went before the Lord. He said the people are moaning and groaning for the spiritual waters. They are missing the spiritual life. And I want to tell you what Jehovah said to Moses. Let us take a look at Numbers, Chapter 20, Verse 11. We will start with Verse 2. And there was no water for the congregation, and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and the people contended with Moses and spake saying, would God that we had died when our brethren died before the Lord, and why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness that we and our cattle should die here, and wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt to bring us in unto this evil place. It is no place of seed or of figs or of vines or of pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink. And you think they ate like that in slavery in Egypt? Figs and vines, that means grape vines, and pomegranates? No way, brethren.
And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces, and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them, and the Lord spake unto Moses saying, take the rod and gather thou the assembly together, thou and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes, and it shall give forth his water, and thou shall bring forth to them water out of the rock. So thou shall give the congregation and their beasts to drink. And Moses took the rod from before the Lord and commanded him, and Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, hear now, ye rebels, must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice, and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank and their beasts also. And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron saying, because ye believed Me not to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel; therefore, ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. This was the water of Meribah, because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and He was sanctified in them.
Now, that has been a mystery to me for years. I have not done an Interlinear work-up on this so my interpretation is going to be lacking, but I am going to basically show you what the Lord has shown me. Back in Verse 2, so there was no water for the congregation. There was no spirit, they were in the desert. The Fiery Serpent was cast down into the second energy center, and there was no spiritual activity. And they gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron. Brethren, to gather yourself together against your leaders cannot be done in the Mind of Christ. What this Scripture is saying is that all of the people were in agreement in their carnal mind that Moses and Aaron had evil motives and had done evil towards them. That is what it means, to gather yourself together. They were gathered together into one mind, as one man.
Verse 3, and the people contended with Moses and spake saying, would God that we had died when our brethren died before the Lord. What does it mean to die before the Lord? It means that the regenerated Adam died in them. I wonder if they were not talking about Korah. They were saying, who needs this walk with Christ? Or maybe they were talking about Korah or....I do not know exactly where this verse fits in, in the time table here or whether it came after some of the Israelites were bitten by Fiery Serpents and died. Remember that the Hebrews that were bitten by Fiery Serpents, what had happened to them was their Fiery Serpent had gotten loose from the control of the regenerated Adam, and they were stung with the sting of death. They agreed....the sting was that they agreed with the sin in their mind, and as soon as we agree with our carnal mind, Christ begins to die. So the thousands that died in the wilderness died to their spiritual life in Christ which was the regenerated Adam in them.
So, we see these people saying to Moses and Aaron, well, this is really a hard life here. Brethren, I am not going to lie to you, this is a hard life. As far as I am concerned, it is worth it, but I look forward to the day that springs of water flow forth in the desert, and that is one of the promises that the Spirit of Christ will flow forth in the desert, that we are going to live in this desert world, and we are going to resist Satan until the waters of Life flow forth. We are going to do without, we are going to fast until the true waters of Life flow forth. But these people were complaining, and they were saying, I do not like this life in the desert, I do not like working 15 hours a day, I do not like the grief of having someone's carnal mind oppose me and feeling the pressure in my heart. I do not like it. I want to go around saying, God is love, God is love, God is love, just open your heart, and He will come in, and we will dance together. I do not want this truth. I do not want to see the sin in your heart. Sin is ugly where ever you see it. I do not want this life. I should have died. Why did not the Fiery Serpent sting me? What did you save me for? You should have let the Fiery Serpent sting me, I would have gone back to Egypt, Pharaoh would have been raised up in me again, and I would have been enjoying the spiritual power of Egypt.
Verse 4, and why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness that we and our cattle should die here. The word cattle is referring to the personality and the physical body. Why have you brought us up, why have you brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness? So, we see that there was an ascension. After the Fiery Serpent was cast down to the second energy center, there was an ascension. Now remember, the left side of the heart (4th) energy center is dry land. The left side of the heart center is dry land. I believe that these Hebrews must have been in the left side of the heart center.
So, we have to get beyond the heart center if we want the outpouring of the spirit, but we have to work our way through, we have to pass through the land, we walk and we exist in the left side of the heart (4th) center which is dry land until we ascend into the brow (6th) center. The 5th center, the throat center, is spiritual power, but I believe the outpouring of the Spirit of Christ comes with the 6th center. We have to ascend into the 6th center, and how fast you get there depends on many factors. The most important factor is how strong your guide is. If you have a guide that is already in the 6th center, that has the power to step on your carnal mind, you will get there much faster than if your guide is only in the 4th or the 5th center himself.
So, we do not know how fast other believers are going to be able to enter into the Kingdom of God once the saviors that come forth from Mt. Zion are already in their brow energy center. I do not know how fast it will be. Maybe it will be in a couple of months. I do not know, I honestly do not know.
We see that these Hebrew children were complaining that Moses brought the congregation of the Lord into the wilderness, into the left side of the heart center, and they were saying that their personality and their physical body was going to die. Brethren, is that not a main issue in the church today? Large elements of the church do not want to believe that this physical body will die, and the whole church does not want to believe that the personality will die.
So, these Israelites were being instructed in the Doctrine of Christ, and they were being told that their physical body and their personality would die. And they did not like that doctrine. They said to Moses, this is what you delivered us from Egypt for? To give us this doctrine, that this body is going to die, and my personality is going to die, and I am not going to see my mother or my beloved wife who died 15 years ago? I do not want to hear this. I had rather believe the fantasy, that my body is going to be....that my bones are going to be dug up, and the physical flesh is going to come back on my bones, and then I am going to see my whole family that died when I get to heaven. I do not want to hear this doctrine, what are you telling me this for? That is what they were saying to Moses. This is what you delivered me from Egypt for?
Verse 5, and wherefore have you made us to come up out of Egypt to bring us unto this evil place. It is no place of seed or of figs or of vines or pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink. As I told you, I have not done an in-depth study, but I suggest what the Hebrew children are saying here is that it is a place of no spiritual experiences. There is no seed so they are denying that Christ is grafted to them, they are denying that Abel...this was after the covenant at Mt. Sinai, at which time Jehovah told them that the Tree of Life was imparted to them. I am sure that Moses instructed them about the promised seed, the seed that was promised to Abraham and manifested in Isaac and delivered to Jacob, and I am sure that Moses told them that this seed that was now in the children of Israel was about to manifest. There is no seed, there is no promised seed, they are saying, Christ is not here.
We know that Christ manifested in David who was to come generations later. They were saying, you lied to us, there is no promised seed, where is this Holy Seed? We gave up our spiritual power that was from Satan because you told us that story about the seed that Jehovah promised would manifest in the Tribes of Israel, but there is no seed. Where is the seed that will give us wisdom and pour forth the Spirit of Christ here in the desert? It is all a lie, it is not true. We are not willing to wait for the promise.
That is what they were saying to him. There is no seed, neither is there figs. Now you may remember that....does anyone remember what the fig tree signifies and why Jesus cursed the fig tree? The fig tree signifies Israel, and the reason Jesus cursed the fig tree....well first of all, the fig tree that Jesus cursed was not a physical tree in his back yard. Jesus did not wake up in the morning and decide that He wanted figs for breakfast, and went to some physical fig tree and killed the poor tree because there were no figs that season. That is not what happened.
The fig tree signifies the imputed Christ in Israel. It signifies the carnal mind under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Israel was signified by a fig tree, the carnal mind under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Christ is not divided, Christ is an olive tree, one solid pit. Figs have many seeds. Jesus woke up, well I do not know exactly what the Scripture says. I think it says that Jesus went out, and He looked at the fig trees in the minds of His disciples. He looked at the spiritual being of His disciples, and He saw that their mind was a fig tree, a carnal mind under the influence of the Holy Spirit, but that there was no fruit there. Christ had not come forth.
As a result of all of these thousands of years of Israel being under the influence of the Holy Spirit, Christ was not present in these men, and He, therefore, cursed that carnal mind, even that carnal mind which was under the influence of the Holy Spirit, and said, you will die, and the Tree of Life, the olive tree will come forth in your place. What Jesus was saying was, because of My sacrifices, Messiah, that was the whole purpose of manifesting Messiah to Israel. The fruit had not come forth, and why did the fruit not come forth because Israel, by and large, was straining out the judgment of the hidden sins of their heart. They kept the law, they had the Word, they did the rituals, but the fruit, Christ, did not come forth because they would not go in and see Satan in the very nitty-gritty thoughts of their everyday interchanges with other people.
So, Jesus cursed it. He said, you have had 5000 years of this, and you could not bring forth Christ. You cannot judge Satan in your own heart well enough to bring forth Christ. I know that you failed to destroy Satan in your own mind, to expose her and destroy her. How do I know? Because Christ is not there. Therefore, Jesus was saying, I know I am about to be glorified, and I will come back as a glorified spirit, and I will reproduce My perfect life which is the life of the regenerated Adam in you. You cannot do it by yourself, you, with your carnal mind, you will never judge the hidden sins of your heart, and you will never produce Christ; therefore, I am going to regenerate Adam in you, and with Adam comes the spirit of Adam which is the Spirit of Elijah for the Israelites or for the Jews, and that Christ child that is going to be born in you, that man child that I am going to impregnate you with, He will be your ability to overcome your carnal mind because you could not bring forth Christ of yourself; therefore, I will give you Christ. I am going to graft the Christ that is in Me to you. It is going to be in you. You do not have to start Him from seed because every time you try to start Him from seed, you failed, so I am going to give Him to you. And you will no longer be a fig tree, but you will be an olive tree.
When? The olive tree that I graft to you swallows up the fig tree within you. So Jesus cursed the fig tree before Christ was ever grafted to His disciples, saying, I have already started the process. I have pronounced death upon your carnal mind. So when Christ is grafted to you, you have already got the upper-hand, your carnal mind is already withering.
So the Hebrew children are telling Moses in the desert that there is no seed, you lied to us about that, neither is there a fig tree, I do not see the Holy Spirit anywhere. So there is no Christ, and there is no Holy Spirit, neither is there a vine. Jesus said, I am the true vine. They are saying, I do not see the life of God in me at all. I gave up my spiritual life in Satan, and I am starving to death and dying of thirst, no spiritual experiences, everything you told us is a lie. Neither do we see any pomegranates. Now, at the moment I am not sure what that means. I know a pomegranate is sometimes called a Chinese apple. It is a red fruit with many, many seeds, and the flesh around the seed is all red. It probably means the body of Christ, but I am not sure.
Neither is there any water to drink, they say. No Holy Spirit, no fig tree, no carnal mind completely drenched with the Holy Spirit and neither any Holy Spirit. And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces, and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them, and the Lord spake unto Moses saying, take the rod and gather thou the assembly together.
Does anybody remember what it means to gather the assembly together? We had this in the on-line meetings recently. An assembly is a congregation, and we found out that the true definition of congregation or assembly is first of all to have a leader through whom Christ Jesus or in the Old Testament, it would be the regenerated Adam and Elohim, is speaking. You have to have a physical leader, and you have to have the Mind of God in that leader. You have a group of people, and Christ Jesus in that leader is drawing forth the spirit and mind of those people, gathering them, assembling them, unto himself. Christ Jesus in the leader is drawing the spirit from all of the people so that a temporary body of Christ forms, a cloud, a great cloud of witnesses. Who is the witness? Who is the faithful witness? Christ is the faithful witness.
So all of the spirits of the group of people are gathered unto that strong leadership that is coming forth from Christ Jesus within a man so that you have one collective mind, one collective Mind of God called the body of Christ.
And the Lord, that is Jehovah, spake unto Moses saying, take the rod. The rod means your tongue, and your tongue signifies your mind. Jehovah said to Moses, get into your Mind of Christ and gather the whole assembly unto you because they are all in their carnal mind. The Christ mind would never be saying this junk to you. Take your Christ mind, take up your Christ mind and gather the assembly together unto you, bring them into their Christ mind.
And Aaron, thy brother, speak ye unto the rock before their eyes. The rock signifies Christ or the regenerated Adam in the Old Testament. And speak to the rock before their eyes. I do not remember what that word "eyes" means. I just looked at the Interlinear Text briefly, but, basically, what this is saying is that Jehovah said to Moses, they want all of these things, they do not have them because they are in their carnal mind, and they have not yet received the Mind of Christ because it was not really going to manifest....well, I am not going to say that right now. They were in their carnal minds. They had the potential to receive all of these things through spiritual union with Moses and Aaron, but they were all thinking that they were going to get it individually while they were in their carnal minds, and Jehovah is saying to Moses, these promises for this group of people at this time will manifest through a collective anointing with you, Moses and Aaron as the head. You, Moses and Aaron, as the physical men through which the regenerated Adam and Elohim will manifest themselves to these people. They have to get it through you. It is not going to fall on them in the wilderness. It is coming through the headship at this time.
So, Jehovah said, gather all the people unto yourself, and I am going to show them the spiritual world of Christ, and that is the Hebrew word translated eye. It can be translated the visible world or the mental and spiritual facilities of Christ. Jehovah said, I am going to show it to them. I am going to give them a taste of the promises, but they have to get it through spiritual union with you. They have to take communion with you to get it. Take the rod and gather the assembly together, you and Aaron, your brother, and speak unto the rock before their eyes and let Christ Jesus speak. Manifest Christ Jesus, and let them see the visible world of Christ. When you gather the spirits of all of these people in Israel unto yourself, and the collective body of Christ is formed it shall give forth His water. The anointing will fall when they submit to you, when they give up their carnal minds. When they yield to you, the regenerated Adam and the Spirit of Elohim will manifest the kingdom of God to them.
So, we see that the Hebrew children had wrong thinking. They were thinking they were going to get this experience individually from the Lord, and they were resisting Moses and Aaron all along, resisting his authority. It is manifesting today. Resisting coming together in a group because everybody is a Lone Ranger, and nobody wants to submit to the authority of the church today.
And He shall give forth His waters; that is the Spirit of Christ. And you shall bring forth to them, water out of the rock, the Spirit of Christ. So thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts to drink. The word beasts is talking about their personality. The congregation is the cloud, the collective Adam, or in this dispensation the collective Mind of Christ Jesus, the collective Christ Jesus, that is the congregation, and the beasts are the personalities. This is where the promises are at this time, Jehovah said, in the collective anointing with you and Aaron as head. And it is not going to be any place else.
And Moses took the rod from before the Lord as He commanded him. Moses laid hold of the Mind of Christ that the Lord had given him. And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock. The rock is the regenerated Adam. So they had a meeting, probably he was preaching. How do you gather the spirits of the whole congregation unto yourself? He must have been preaching. He must have been preaching the Doctrine of Christ.
When I sit here, and I preach the Doctrine of Christ, either the spirit in you is going to respond to me or another spirit is going to rise up, and we have a rule in this congregation that if you are not in a spiritual place where your human spirit responds to the Spirit of Christ and comes forth when I call Him by preaching the Doctrine of Christ, you are not mature enough to be in this meeting because we cannot have someone sitting here without their wedding garment on. Because, you see, this is a marriage here tonight, and every time we get together we take communion, we have intimacy with Christ Jesus, we take communion, and we experience a measure of the wedding. The person that is sitting in here that cannot flow, that is not willing to yield up their spirit to me, you are sitting here without a wedding garment on. It means you are not in the Christ mind, you are in your carnal mind, and you cannot deprive this local fellowship and all of the other people who get the messages and who read the transcripts on the Internet from what Christ Jesus is doing here because you want to come in without a wedding garment.
And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, Moses took the Mind of Christ or the regenerated Adam from Jehovah as Jehovah had commanded him, and Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock. What that means is they gathered together the body of Christ or the regenerated Adam, and He said unto them, well it does not say who said it, you see. So I bet you that is the regenerated Adam or Christ Jesus saying that. I do not think Moses said that. And He said unto them, here now you rebels. Christ showed them their sins.
The regenerated Adam manifested, and the first thing he did was expose rebellion. You see, when you want to have a relationship with Christ or with a man who is given over to service in Christ, your sins are going to be exposed very quickly because there is no way that you can have a relationship with Christ Jesus or with a man who is manifesting Christ Jesus when you are in a wrong spirit towards them. There is no way that you can have a relationship with someone who is walking with Christ when your heart is carnal towards them. Because a personality or a man who is literally living for Christ is in the Mind of Christ most of the time, and what fellowship does the Mind of Christ have with the carnal mind? So, if you want a relationship with me you have to have some measure of your Christ mind working, and if your carnal mind works I bring a correction.
You cannot relate to me here with your carnal mind. You have to be willing to take the correction, and taking that correction forces your Christ mind to the surface. I will not have a relationship with your carnal mind. You are all disciples of Christ. I have a relationship with Christ in you. I do not accept your carnal mind, I reject her in our personal relationship; therefore, if you relate to me in a wrong way I must tell you because when I show you that you related to me in a wrong way, it pushes your carnal mind down and Christ comes up.
Well, Adam manifested, a collective manifestation of Adam, and the first word that He said was the revelation that they were in rebellion. Now if they would have repented, if the Hebrew children would have repented, their carnal mind would have gone down and Christ would have come up in them and glory would have poured out.
Hear now, ye rebels, must we fetch you water out of this rock? I do not believe that was a question. I looked at it briefly in the Interlinear Text. You are in rebellion, and there is water in this rock. What you want is in this rock, but you are in rebellion. You are in the wrong spirit. You cannot get this water with violence. You have to humble yourself and confess your sins and receive it as a gift. You have no power to receive this grace from God. Now remember, these Hebrew children had been high in witchcraft, and witchcraft is an aggressive discipline. Witchcraft takes whatever it wants by the spirit in a secret place. Takes someone's husband if it wants it, takes a woman that is not interested in that man even though she does not want you, takes a job away from another person. Witchcraft is an aggressive discipline, and the regenerated, collective, Adam said to them, you are rebels, and you cannot steal this water of Christ. You cannot force this water of Christ, you cannot attain it with violence. You must confess your sins and repent to receive it.
Verse 11 says, and Moses lifted up his hand and with his rod he smote the rock twice. Can anyone tell us what the hand signifies in the Scripture?
COMMENT: The subconscious mind.
PASTOR VITALE: The subconscious part of the mind, that is right.
Once again, I have not done an in-depth study in the Interlinear Text. And Moses lifted up his....and who is the subconscious mind. It is the Fiery Serpent. And the Fiery Serpent ascended. I guess I really should take a look at this in the Interlinear Text before I go any further. Let me do that.
I have taken out our Interlinear Text here. I am looking in Verse 10, and I see that the Interlinear Text does support what I said by revelation, that it was the rock who spoke. And Moses and Aaron gathered together the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, and I said to you that it must have been Adam within Moses speaking, and the Interlinear Text does support that, that it was the regenerated Adam that spoke unto them. And what Adam said was, he showed them their sins. The word hear means understand. He said, understand now that you are rebels. He was asking them to confess their sins and repent so that he could bless them. He said, I want you to understand that this whole attack on Moses and Aaron was rebellion. Repent so that I can bless you and meet your needs. Then, the next few words are, we must fetch water out of this rock? Now I want to suggest to you that, that is a new sentence and a new subject. That the regenerated Adam spoke through Moses and said, now look I want you to understand that what you just did, the way that you just talked to Moses was rebellion, and the response of the congregation was, this is the rock that is going to give us water? He is showing us our sins? He is telling me I have rebellion? We are starving to death, we are dying of thirst, Moses promised to meet our needs, and he is telling us that we have rebellion? This is the one who is going to meet our needs?
So, there was no repentance, but there was arrogance and a denial that God was even present in Moses. I think they were saying that about Moses. I thought you were going to give us water, and you are standing up telling us we are in rebellion. I have been through this with the people here many times. I will tell you something, we will have a little controversy, and you will just want to go on with it, and I will say, no, I cannot go on. The spirit of reconciliation has not flowed, Christ is not satisfied, there is no true repentance in your heart, you are lifted up in pride against me, and I cannot go on until you back down. Everyone of you here have heard me say that to you at one time or another. Christ in me will not let me go on until that carnal mind of yours backs down, and I feel it in my heart when your spirit is right.
So, Christ manifested in Moses, the regenerated Adam manifested in Moses, and the first thing he did was tell them their sins. The way you just talked to me was rebellion, but the Israelites could not tell that it was the regenerated Adam speaking through Moses. They thought it was still Moses, and they said to him, well, I thought you were going to give us spiritual water, you were going to give us an outpouring of spiritual power, but you are not doing that. You are telling us that we are rebels? You are judging our sins? Where is the power? That is what happened.
In response to this arrogance, the Fiery Serpent, Moses' hand, raised up. See Moses got angry. Here he is, he did not even want to help these people, but the Lord called him, and he went. He is helping these people out of service to Jehovah, they are criticizing him, they are complaining about him, they are calling him a liar, and they are telling him that what he has preached to them is not coming to pass. Then he goes before the Lord as an intercessor, and says, Lord the people really need some spiritual experiences. And he comes back, and he tells them, Jehovah is going to give them these spiritual experiences, but first they have to face their sins, and they rise up and attack him again. And I want to tell you from personal experience that this is more than a verbal attack. When the carnal mind rises up to attack Christ in a preacher, it is witchcraft power that comes against that preacher.
So, Moses was already under pressure from their original attack. He held on to his Christ mind, he did the right thing, he did not get angry at them. He put their petition before the Lord, the Lord promised to meet their needs, and he comes before them manifesting the regenerated Adam, and they say to him, who do you think you are, judging my sins? Moses lost it, brethren. He came down under the pressure, but you have to understand that this was witchcraft, that when these Israelites spoke to him this way, the verbal speech was just the end result or the visible expression of Satan rising up within them to try to destroy Moses. Why? Because Moses was trying to destroy Satan.
Brethren, to raise up the Christ mind in a man or to regenerate Adam in a man, you have to put down Satan and Leviathan. So Satan rose up in the thoughts of the men of Israel, and said to Moses, who do you think you are judging my sins? I thought you were going to give us water. So it is true that Moses "lost it," but you have to understand that Moses did not just "lose it" because he lost his patience with the people with their complaining and their murmuring, and their denial that he was Christ, and their ignorance, and their lack of enlightenment. He did not just lose his patience. It was Satan in these people that rose up, that with these words punched Moses, hurt him, wounded him, and Moses did not take the victory. He did not stay in Christ. The Fiery Serpent, his hand, his subconscious mind, rose up, his pride rose up, and as soon as that happened, as soon as his pride rose up, Christ went down, the regenerated Adam in Moses went down. Moses was overtaken by the witchcraft in the people he was trying to help.
And Moses lifted up his hand and smote the rock with his rod. Now, look, when the Fiery Serpent rises up in witchcraft, Christ is smitten. I have told you many times that when we choose the carnal mind, it kills Christ. Christ dies daily. Christ in us dies daily. Every time we sin, Christ dies. It is the glorified Jesus Christ that raises Him from the dead, and only one mind can be fully manifested at a time. Now remember, Moses has gone before the Holy tabernacle of the Lord and been given permission to pick up his rod, to take on the Mind of Christ, and to bring forth the collective manifestation of Christ with these people. When his Fiery Serpent rose up, Christ was knocked down. Christ was killed. The Fiery Serpent in Moses could not have risen up without killing Christ.
So, when these men of Israel said this to Moses, what are you talking about? This is how you are going to give us spiritual experiences by telling us we are rebels? Satan was behind those words, attacked Christ in Moses, Christ went down, and the Fiery Serpent rose up. Now remember, for Moses to be preaching out of the Christ mind, Adam had to be regenerated in him, rise above the Fiery Serpent, cover the Fiery Serpent and press her down. So when Satan manifested through the people, Moses was trying to help. It attacked Christ, Christ in Moses or the regenerated Adam in Moses lost control of the Fiery Serpent, she got out from under Christ, rose above Christ and knocked him down.
I am going to say it again. First, Satan, in the minds of the people Moses was trying to help, attacked Christ so that Christ lost His grip on the Fiery Serpent that was bound underneath him or harnessed underneath Him. Christ was wounded, and He sort of let go. The Fiery Serpent seized the moment, got out from under the regenerated Adam in Moses, rose above him, and put that Christ mind underneath her. That is what happened. Moses was killed by the people he was trying to help.
So, the Fiery Serpent rose up and smote the rock. The rock was the regenerated Adam in Moses. The Fiery Serpent in Moses smote the rock. She wounded the Christ mind in Moses. It says, with his rod. I want to tell you that the Fiery Serpent had a rod too. The Fiery Serpent has a rod too. Rod means authority. The Fiery Serpent manifesting whose authority? Satan's authority rose up and smote the regenerated Adam in Moses that Jehovah had raised up in specific response to Moses prayer which was in specific response to the needs of the people, and the very people he was trying to help rose up and killed him. It happens all the time. You are all going to....to whatever degree you are experiencing it now, you will have more experiences. The people you are sent to help kill you all the time so you have to have leadership training. You have to know how to deal with this. You cannot retaliate, but neither can you deal with what they do with the good side of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil because if you deal with what they do, if you deal with the hurts that they render you out of the good side of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil their sins are not covered. If you say, oh, that is OK, I know you did not mean it, I forgive you, I know you did not mean it, that is OK, their sins are not covered.
So you must, it is essential that you learn to distinguish between the thoughts and the mechanisms of Christ as opposed to the thoughts and mechanisms and the ways of dealing with problems of the good side of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Because if you do not cover the people you are sent to, they are subject to the destructive sowing and reaping judgment. You are supposed to cover the people you are sent to. Why? Because if you do not cover them, if it is not truly Christ in you forgiving their sins, then Satan has legal ground to execute judgment upon them. When Satan comes to execute judgment upon them, he is going to kill Christ in them.
So it is the goal of Christ Jesus to expose your sins to you, to reveal your sins to you, without killing the Christ in you. When Satan executes judgment on you, she kills everything. Just like antibiotics. You take antibiotics, they kill all the bacteria in your intestines, the bad bacteria and the good bacteria. Then you get diarrhea because the good bacteria are gone. That is what Satan does. She wipes out the sin and she wipes out Christ with the sin.
Do you know that verse in Revelation Chapter 4, and hurt not the oil and the wine. The Lord just gave me that Scripture. It is Revelation Chapter 6, Verse 6, and this is the third seal. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a measure of wheat for a penney and three measures of barley for a penney and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. The Lord gave me this Scripture so I have to believe that the purchasing of barley and wheat is the purchasing back, is the redemption of the people, and the instruction is that when you purchase back the spirits of the people, be sure that you do it without destroying the oil which is the Christ and the wine which is the spirit of Christ. There is a lot of revelation coming forth this weekend or today anyway. It is a revelation day, a lot of revelation coming forth.
So if you are in the ministry of reconciliation which is in Christ Jesus, and you are sent to disciples to help raise Christ in them, and you are showing your people their sins because will not rise unless their sins are exposed, and your people attack you, it is to be expected. Just like if you put a baby on your lap without a diaper, you know what you can expect. It is to be expected. You must forgive them in Christ Jesus because if you forgive them out of the good side of your carnal mind they are not covered, and Satan will come in to execute the sowing and reaping judgment which will kill the Christ that you are trying to raise up. And this is exactly what happened with Moses.
Let us go on. And the Fiery Serpent rose up in Moses and he smote Christ in Moses with the authority of Satan. We have the word twice here. Strong's #6471, that is what it says in my Interlinear Text, Strong's #6471, paam, paamah, and the word has nothing to do with twice. It means a stroke. It can be translated a footstep, a corner. Let me see what Thayer's says, a stroke, a beat, a foot, a step, an anvil, an occurrence, a hoof beat, a fall, a footstep, an occurrence of time. Here it says, a beat, one time, once, twice, thrice, time on time or in repetition. It could mean repetition, it could mean that. And the Fiery Serpent rose up and smote the rock with the authority of Satan repeatedly. I guess it could mean repeatedly. Or it could mean that the men that Moses were trying to help were the reflections or the footsteps of Satan.
Every human being is a reflection or a footstep or an imprint of the mind that lives through them. If Christ is living through you, and, of course, this can go back and forth. We have two minds these days. When Christ is speaking through you, you are the reflection or the footprint of Christ. When Satan is speaking through you, you are the reflection or the footprint of Satan. And, although, "repeatedly" fits into this translation I would be more inclined to say that the footsteps or the reflections of Satan, meaning the men that were attacking Moses, beat him with Satan's authority. Did you understand what I said?
The Hebrew word translated "twice" really means footsteps or reflections. It means the men that Moses was trying to help, which were the reflections of Satan, beat on Christ in Moses with Satan's authority. And came out the water abundantly. What does that mean? When the men that Moses was trying to help attacked and killed Christ in Moses, the waters, Satan, flowed forth abundantly. Now, this runs right up with the Scripture in Matthew 22:24 where we talked about the King James translation of swallowing up a camel, and the revelation that came forth on that verse was, when you are a camel, when you have been abstaining from Satan's power, and you are in the wilderness which means you are eligible to have the Spirit of Christ poured out on you if you do not faint, the Spirit of Christ will eventually be poured out on you. But if you give it up, if you turn bitter in your heart and you turn back towards your carnal mind, Satan will break through your desert experience and swallow up the earthen part of your spiritual being and irrigate you, and will become wet clay again, and she will engrave you with her nature. And this is exactly what happened to Moses.
It never ceases to amaze me and bless me how God puts a message together. None of this was planned. First He led me to Matthew 23:24, now we are in Numbers 30, and it is the same message. This was all spontaneous today.
So, we see that Satan, through the men that Moses was trying to help, rose up and killed Christ, Moses' authority, and because of that....and remember this is the same thing that happened with the mortal men of Judah in the case of Samson and Delilah. It is the same message, you see. And the water poured out abundantly. Satan broke through into their desert experience. They were living this dry life because, as I explained to you earlier in this message this morning, the Holy Spirit, once the Holy Spirit points you to Christ, once Christ is grafted to you, the Holy Spirit tends to dry up and you have to wait for that seed, that Holy seed to manifest into maturity, when that Holy seed is mature enough to pour out the Spirit of Christ upon you.
So you have a desert experience. You lose all that glory that you experience in the Holy Spirit, and you have this desert experience until Christ is mature enough to pour out again, and this time He is the Spirit of Christ, not only has all the blessings of the Holy Spirit but also He brings eternal life with Him. So you are between the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Christ, and there is this desert between these two spiritual experiences. If you cannot wait, if you faint, and you turn towards your carnal mind, Satan will come rushing into that desert experience, and you will lose all the ground that you have gained. And this is what happened to the children of Israel in the desert. When they became the reflections of Satan and smote and killed the Christ mind in Moses, Satan, the water, same pouring out abundantly and drank the congregation.
This is very interesting because the word drank is preceded by the prefix teth which means Serpent. And also by the prefix vav which means nailed to. And the congregation was nailed to the Serpent. Now remember, when we started this exhortation the congregation was gathered into Moses. They were gathered into a collective manifestation of the regenerated Adam, but when they would not confess their sins, but instead attacked the preacher that was exhorting them to confess their sins, Satan came flooding in and, they were nailed to the Serpent. So before they could be nailed to the Serpent they had to be separated from Moses. They were gathered into Moses. Moses and Aaron were the head. They were gathered into or nailed unto Moses and Aaron. So when they rebelled against Moses they broke their connection from him and lost his cover, and Satan nailed them to herself and to her mind which is the Fiery Serpent which is an extension of Leviathan. And their beasts also. So Satan nailed their personalities and their spirits.
Verse 12, and the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron saying, because you believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel; therefore, you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. Now in the King James this makes no sense. In the King James translation, it says that Moses lifted up his hand, he smote the rock twice, the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank. So why would the Lord be rebuking Moses? What I have heard over the years in the church was that Moses smote the rock instead of speaking to the rock and, therefore, he was punished severely. Well, now we see that there is much more to this story. That it was the rock who spoke, and when he spoke he showed the people of Israel their sins, and the people of Israel, in response to having their sins revealed, smote the rock, and it was Satan's water that poured out abundantly.
Let us see what Verse 12 is saying now. And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron saying, because you believed me not, let us see what that is saying here. And spake Jehovah unto Moses and Aaron. The Hebrew word translated believed can also actually, even more than....it really does not mean to believe. It means to build up, to support; to foster as a parent or to nurse. And that is the function of Adam. Everyone that is manifesting Adam or Christ Jesus is a spiritual nursemaid to the Christ within the disciples. Christ within the disciples has a nursemaid, the more mature Christ Jesus in the teacher that the Lord has raised up. Why does the Christ that you are carrying need a nursemaid outside of you? Because the average personality that is carrying the young Christ does not have enough experience to keep that spiritual life alive.
If your sins are not exposed, and you do not take the victory, if you strain out the judgment, Satan is going to come flooding in, and that Christ child will be destroyed. So the person who is in the role of Christ Jesus to you is exposing your sins to keep the Christ in you alive. Because to expose the sins of your carnal mind weakens your carnal mind, and if you do not weaken your carnal mind she is going to rise up and kill that baby in you. It is really so simple once you can understand it, but you cannot understand it with your carnal mind, you see.
So this word believe means to be a nursemaid. It means to cover the sins of the people. Who spake the Lord unto Moses and said, because you did not cover the sins of the people. And this word "not" can be translated "the Serpent, or the Fiery Serpent." Because you did not cover the Fiery Serpent. The Fiery Serpent got out from under Christ in Moses, and Jehovah said....now this is not a punishment, this is the truth, this is the same spirit that Jehovah went to Adam, the woman and the Serpent with. He did not curse them. He instructed them. He said, look, this is what you have done, and these are the consequences of what you have done. Serpent, you are going to crawl on your belly. Adam you are going to sweat in labor. It was not a curse. It was an instruction. This is the fruit of your behavior. This is the fruit of your choices. The law is already written.
So, Jehovah came to Moses, and He said to him, Moses, you failed the. No condemnation. You were attacked by witchcraft in the mind of your own disciples, and your Fiery Serpent shot up, and you did not keep her covered. She got out from under your cover, and there is a consequence. It is not a punishment, but there is a consequence. This has happened to me many times. What is the consequence when I am ministering to you, and my Fiery Serpent gets out from under Christ in me? Well, there are several consequences. First of all, I have not done my job so your sins are not covered. I have not covered you, and you are now subject to Satan who has the legal ground to come in and damage the Christ in you. I have damaged our relationship, I have damaged your confidence in me, and I have damaged your confidence in the whole ministry and the work that Jesus is doing here because I acted like a fool. And on the surface, what it looks like is that you are just sitting there not doing anything wrong. The truth is that Satan in you was attacking me, but you do not know it, you see, and if I get mad and start yelling or raise my voice at you, you are looking at me and saying, and you are supposed to be in Christ?
So, it gives an opportunity to your carnal mind to even deny my office so there is damage done to me. Personally, there is damage done to you because you are now subject to Satan, and in this particular area where you cannot see your own sin, and I failed to convince you, or even get you to pray about it, there is damage to Christ in you, there is damage to Christ in me, there is damage to our personal relationship, and depending on how mature you are, there could be damage to the ministry and the whole work that God is doing here.
So, it is our responsibility to hold on to our Fiery Serpent. We have to be toilet trained. I was saying that off of the message, and if the only way that you can control your Fiery Serpent is to know when to retreat, then you must know when to retreat, and I have done that. If I feel that I am losing it, I will tell you that is the end of this conversation. I will not continue it. I am not making it today, and rather than lose my position in Christ, we will discuss this at another time. That is wisdom.
But Moses lost it, brethren. His Fiery Serpent got out from under him after he was attacked. So he is guilty with an explanation. Yes, he was attacked, but that is the way it is. You always get attacked when you are a son of God. Does the Lord condemn him? Does the Lord condemn me? Does the Lord condemn you? No, but there is a consequence for your failure. Now it is not a permanent failure. You can lose the battle, but you are not going to lose the war. But you must recognize that you failed to hold your Fiery Serpent down.
Now, in my case, when I lose it, you will know that I lost it because my mouth will manifest that I have lost it, but there are some personalities that do not manifest through their mouth when they lose it. They just lose it in their heart, you see. And you all need to know, all of you here who do not have a tendency like I do to raise your voice when you are losing it, that if in your heart you lose it, the consequences are the same. You may not say one word. In the day that you are ministering to someone who is giving you a hard time, in the day that you lose it you might not say a word, but silently and subtly the carnal mind will rise up and cover Christ in you, and all of the consequences that I named are still yours. You may not damage the relationship, but the person is not covered.
And as far as the Lord Jesus is concerned, you have not done your job, and if you want to go on with the Lord Jesus you have to confess that you were attacked by Satan in your disciple, and that Christ Jesus in you was overcome, and that you said something to them or you felt something in your heart towards them that was not out of Christ, and that they were not covered. And if you cannot confess that, your ministry is going to start to go down, and your walk with the Lord will start to go down. We must see our mistakes, and we must make changes if we hope to go on with the Lord.
So, the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron saying, because you did not cover the Fiery Serpent....we are translating the word "not," the Hebrew word translated "not," we are translating Fiery Serpent, and the Hebrew word translated "believe," Strong's #539 means to be a parent or a nursemaid or to be firm or faithful or to be morally true. Your Christ mind did not endure.
Because your Christ mind did not endure, therefore, you did not sanctify me. The word "sanctify" means to be pronounced clean. I do not know what that word "me" is doing in there. The Interlinear Text is saying here, me. If I had more time I would tell you where the "me" goes, but it does not even have to mean "me." It could mean, according, among, at, because, towards, when, or within.
Listen, you Christ mind did not endure within me. Remember the word sanctify means your morality. That is the Christ mind. To pronounced ceremonially clean. The regenerated Adam in you who pronounced you ceremonially clean did not endure in you. The Christ mind, the nursemaid to your Fiery Serpent and to all those people out there that pronounced you ceremonially clean, did not endure in the eyes, did not endure in the visible spiritual world, in the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God did not endure in the children of Israel. So you did not do your job. You did not cover the Fiery Serpent...well your Fiery Serpent was covered, but he did not endure, and because he did not endure, because the Mind of Christ in you came down, you did not cover the children of Israel; therefore, you shall not bring....now, this is interesting because the Hebrew word translated "you shall not bring" is the same Hebrew word translated "you believed" which means nursemaid.
Is not that interesting? I am sorry. It is not the same word. It is a different word. It is the same numbers in a different relationship. It does mean to bring....OK, so because the Christ mind in you did not endure, you did not take the victory, therefore, you were not a nursemaid to the children of Israel. The Christ mind did not endure in them; therefore, you shall not go out the congregation into this land. That is what it appears to be saying. Jehovah said, the Mind of Christ did not endure in you, you did not cover the children of Israel, and, therefore, they shall not go into the land that I have given them.
This congregation, this assemblage, which did not even exist anymore because Satan wrecked it, shall not go into the land. What land? The spiritual land, the Kingdom of God. It does not mean forever. It means for that moment. There has to be a recovery.
Verse 13, This is the water of Meribah because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and He was sanctified in them. This is the water of Meribah, and Meribah means the desert. Well, the word "is" is not in the Hebrew. So let us see what it is saying. And the word "this" is masculine plural. So if the Hebrew says "this water," and the Hebrew word translated 'this" is the masculine plural, we know that it is talking about the Spirit of Christ because Satan is feminine.
So, Jehovah is saying, this water of the desert strove the children of Israel. To strive means to toss, to grapple, to wrangle, to hold a controversy, to defend themselves against. So the children of Israel defended themselves against the waters of the desert which is the Spirit of Christ. And He was sanctified in them. The Hebrew word translated "sanctified" is preceded by the prefixes which mean Adam, the vav, and the yod. And the word sanctified means to pronounce ceremonially clean.
Again, I am doing this rather quickly, but what Verse 13 seems to be saying is that this Spirit of Christ, the masculine waters of the desert, strove with the children of Israel because He desired to make them morally clean. See, when you have this ministry of reconciliation, and you have disciples, and you are sent to people to show them their sins, if you are truly in Christ Jesus your motive for doing this is to make them morally clean. And the way we become morally clean is by destroying our carnal mind and living out of Christ, and the way we destroy our carnal mind is to expose her because she is lying to us, and she is telling us that the thoughts of our mind which seem innocent to us are the thoughts of Christ. And there is no life in the good side of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. And she is also lying to us about the subtle sins that arise into our mind which we have trouble believing our sin; therefore, the Spirit of Christ, the waters of the desert strive with the children of Israel, the ones who are near to the Lord. The Hebrew word translated "with" can mean near to.
See, the Spirit of Christ in me strives with you who are near to the Lord to make you morally clean by exposing your carnal mind in the thoughts that she is convincing you are OK, and I am telling you that they are not Christ. And if I am truly a teacher in Christ, which I believe I am, you will have to get your answer from the Lord. I guess you all believe that or you would not be here.
My motive for striving with you is to make you morally clean, and moral cleanness results in eternal life. And you have to get into Christ to be morally clean and receive eternal life, and you cannot get into Christ without covering your carnal mind. And you are never going to cover your carnal mind if the truth of her thoughts in you are not exposed. If the truth of her motives, what she is thinking through you on the unconscious and subconscious levels, if you do not face that you are never going to cover her, and you are never going to be morally clean, and you are never going to enter into eternal life; therefore, because the Lord loves you with an everlasting love, He has set up a teacher who is willing to strive with you so that you should enter into eternal life and be morally clean. That is the message.
In this hour, I cannot do it without your help. I do not think it will ever be any different. I do not think the teacher in Christ Jesus or the Savior from Mt. Zion, however you want to describe the people who will come forth and do this great work for the people of God, I do not think they will ever be able to cover that person's carnal mind without the agreement of the disciple. What the Lord Jesus is doing against the will of the people is that He will be grafted....I believe that when the group of people that are in full stature stand up, the Lord Jesus will be grafting the seed of Christ to the people without their permission. And then, once Christ starts to mature He will need the agreement of the personality to expose the carnal mind. The Lord has corrected me. He has already grafting the seed of Christ to people without their permission, but we cannot judge their sins without their permission.
But once Christ is in the person and growing in them, if they will not submit to the Judgment Seat of Christ, they will definitely reap what they have sown for rejecting the righteous judgment of Christ. And Satan is going to enter in, and their will be some manifestations in their life which, hopefully, will turn them towards the Lord.
Are there any questions or comments on this message?
COMMENT: When you originally said nursemaid, I heard Lilith and Molech with a nursemaid used to kill the Christ child.
PASTOR VITALE: OK, they were the nursemaids that protect the Fiery Serpent.
You see the Fiery Serpent is our spiritual potential. The Fiery Serpent is the immortal seed within us, and she has nursemaids that ascend by Satan to make sure that she grows in Satan's image. And Adam and the Spirit of Christ ascend to make sure that the Fiery Serpent matures into Jehovah's image. So there are two sets of nursemaids. I had never heard of that before, but I have no problem believing that, there are two sets of nursemaids.
I do not know much about those names. Lilith and who else was named?
COMMENT: Molech
PASTOR VITALE: Well, Molech I am familiar with because that god is in the Scripture, and that is interesting because the Scripture says that the Hebrew children sacrificed their children to Molech by putting their children through the fire. And that revelation came down a while ago that this was their spiritual children.
I had a relationship with a ? Rabbi for two years, and one of the things that he told me was that, we do not really know what that means, but what Jewish family is going to put their children through the fire? And I did not know what to say to him, but I believe that the Lord had told me that, that was not a physical manifestation. It was a spiritual manifestation, and the children that the Hebrews put through the fire was the Christ child that was regenerated in them. And the fire that they put Him through was the fires that destroyed Christ. Apparently, Molech is a god that manifests fire. I guess it is the Fiery Serpent. I cannot go into all of these details without studying it which I am not doing right now.
Generally, speaking that is what it is. They put their spiritual children through the fire. So I know that is true of Molech, and I have heard of the term Lilith, but I do not believe she is in the Scripture. I do not believe she is in the King James translation, and I am not familiar with her being in the Scripture. So perhaps someday the Lord will explain that to me further. I do not know much about Lilith.
Well, xxxxx just told us, that Lilith is associated with crib death. I knew that this was a name that we hear in deliverance, especially from xxxxxxx. He names all of these demons, but I did not know what Lilith meant. Now, Lilith being associated with crib death, once again the spirit is associated with the death of children. So we see Molech is associated with the death of children, and Lilith is associated with the death of children. So I think that xxxxx may have very well have heard from the Lord, and that these two names are associated with the death of the Christ child.
Now if you are hearing this message, and you are having trouble, that Molech and Lilith are active in your mind, I definitely recommend ,if you are willing to do it, that you put this before the Lord, and that you pray against Molech and Lilith, and ask the Lord if they are active in you and to destroy them or to help you to see them and destroy them. I believe that was a Word of Knowledge, very possibly for you, because this whole message seems to have been....my whole message was canceled this morning. So it seems to me that after the counseling that came forth this morning that the Lord has given you this whole message to support you and help you to go forward with recognizing these hidden sins in you, and now He is exposed the names of two demonic entities. Personally, I believe that word was for you. I will just pray for you right now.
In the name of Jesus, I just curse those spirits in you, and I burn them with fire and utterly destroy them, but I also pray that they should be exposed to you, and that everything hindering God's purposes in your life should be burned up and removed, that His purposes can be fully manifested in you. In the name of Jesus, I pray that. Amen.
