So when I started having these experiences, I used to call them imaginary conversations. Sometimes I would see people. Sometimes it would be an experience like Lorraine [SP] just expressed that she would remember someone from her past and all the characteristics and qualities of these people. Sometimes it would be people that I knew, and I would have arguments with them, or I would rebuke them, and I used to call them imaginary conversations, and one day God told me, “When this happens to you, you’re – you have entered into a trance.”

 

He said there were three kinds of trances in the Bible. One is a trance with your eyes open, as we know Peter entered into, and the same as the trance with regard to the [?Shiite?]. And another trance is a trance with your eyes closed, and you might be in a sitting-up position, but your eyes are closed, and I don’t have the scripture on hand right now. And the third kind of trance is when you’re totally asleep. In the Book of Daniels, it’s called a night vision, and you know that it’s not really a dream, you know that something spiritual has happened.

 

So there’s three kinds of trances, and I want you to be aware because we’re entering into deep realms of the spirit. Whoever is receiving this ministry, the spiritual work is being developed in you. That if it’s not happening now in the near future, you’re probably going to be having these experiences.

 

And this is what it meant what happened to XXXXXXX. She saw in her trance -- she saw a vision of an old school teacher, who for all we know might even be dead. And she was a very mean, cruel schoolteacher, who had no love and who abused all of the children.

 

Is that correct? Did I leave anything out? OK.

 

And she intimidated everybody. Now this is what God is saying to her. We know that the language of God is symbols. And the Lord was trying to impart to -- and I believe, let me tell you this right now. When God speaks out of the realm of the spirit, he -- it was something that would be -- that would have effect on this ministry. He speaks to everybody that’s in this ministry. And she said everybody doesn’t hear him.

 

OK. I don’t want anyone getting rejected here. God is not a respecter of persons. It’s just that some of us have a -- are more developed spiritually than others. But this is a ministry that develops spirituality, so if you keep submitting yourself to this ministry -- if you desire this kind of ministry, I’m sure it will happen to you.

 

OK. And this is what God was saying to her. There is an attack of witchcraft coming against this ministry. And what is being sa- -- and the attack is directly against me. And this is what’s being said. It’s being said that I am a mean, unloving, unkind teacher, that I have no love for the spiritual children that are here, that I don’t care about them, that I’m not concerned about them and that I am very intimidating towards them. And because this is coming forth from a spirit of witchcraft, it’s really hurt me today. And the Lord wanted us to know what is being said by the enemies of God. And they’re not my enemies, and they’re not even the enemy of this ministry. Anyone who is saying something like this out of a witchcraft spirit is the enemy of Almighty God.

 

So this is how a trance works. God doesn’t come to you in an audible voice. I know He speaks to people in audible voices, but I’m convinced, that as you become more spiritual, you will hear less and less audible voices. The language of God is symbols. And He will come to you, and He will probe your memory, and He will bring to your memory somebody who fits all the qualities of what is being said about you. And He’ll -- and you’ll find yourself thinking about people that you haven’t seen in years. And this is God’s way of saying this -- these qualities are being spoken about somebody that you know. So who do you know that’s a teacher? Sheila’s a teacher in this ministry. This is what’s being spoken through witchcraft power against Sheila. And Lorraine [SP] started breaking the curse. And she thought it was over the teacher. Well I don’t know -- is that what you thought? Yeah, but, she thought it was towards the teacher. Well I’m the teacher. So XXXXXXX was breaking the curses over the teacher, but she didn’t realize that she was praying for me.

 

This is how it works. I’ve experienced it many, many times. Don’t get scared. Don’t get distressed. Just when something like this comes to your mind that you would think wouldn’t be there normally, under normal circumstances, just ask God what He’s trying to tell you.

 

Now I had a similar experience this afternoon. I was preparing the message. And I found thoughts entering into my mind, where it -- my -- the thought was about me, and in the vision I was involved in some [?harlotry?] behavior. And all of a sudden it was -- it just seeped into my mind, because I was working on a message, and I said where in the world did this come from? And [UNINTELLIGIBLE] will tell me that I’m being accused of being a spiritual harlot. Now what does that mean? I’m being accused of fornicating with the carnal mind.

 

Excuse me. What I’m being accused of is that I’m ministering by another spirit. If I’m a spiritual harlot, that means the words that I speak to you are not coming from the spirit of God in my mind, but that I’m fornicating with Satan and the words that I’m speaking to you are the words of the harlot. So there’s a real smear campaign going on. And that’s OK, because we go through that all the time in this ministry. Right? This is nothing new.

 

And that’s all right. And I believe that God has taken care of this. I believe that judgments were executed today. And they were not my judgments; they were the judgments of Almighty God. And we don’t attack anybody in this ministry unless God raises us up, and we all have been telling you this for two years now; we’ve all got to get an ability; if you don’t have it, pray for it. You’ve got to get an ability to discern whether someone is speaking or praying out of their own heart or whether -- I’ll use my name -- whether I’m praying out of my own heart or whether I’m praying prayers that are coming forth because the spirit of God in my mind has manifested and is using my mouth. You need spiritual discernment. If you don’t have it, you have to pray for it.

 

This is how people get into trouble. And it’s usually people that have a hard heart towards God, that don’t want to receive the word of ministry that He has for them, so they decide that the minister is not speaking the words of God; this is a pure outright manifestation of pride. They stand against you, the Pharisees did it to Jesus. Jesus said, “For what crime do you stone me? And the Pharisees said to Him, we don- -- for what good work. He said, “For what good work do you stone me?” And the Pharisees said, “We stone you for no good work, but we stone you, because you made yourself the Son of God.”

 

So I’m not being stoned for any good work that I’ve done, but I’m being stoned, because I’ve said some pretty hard things that the spirit of God has told me to say. That’s my job. I don’t want to say unfortunately -- unfortunately for my carnal man, but not unfortunately for my spiritual man, because God is glorified [?and?] -- I’ve said some pretty hard things to some people, and they are looking me head on, nose-to-nose, forehead-to-forehead, and declaring to me that God did not say these things, that it is the natural me. They’re calling me a harlot. They’re saying that I’m fornicating with Satan, that it’s a false word and that I am a harsh, unloving teacher without love.

 

So that’s the situation. We go through this every couple of months in this ministry. It’s not the last time -- it’s not the first time; it won’t be the last time, because wherever the spirit of God moves, that is where Jezebel manifests. And wherever the spirit of God moves, that is where witchcraft manifests. And wherever the spirit of God moves, that is where pride is revealed. And there’s no getting away from it. We’re moving on with God. Wherever Christ is manifesting, in the people who will not repent, their wickedness is manifesting.

 

And I personally am just looking forward to the day that God strengthens me in my body, because I feel sick when this happens to me. I -- at least now I feel that I can preach. A half an hour ago I didn’t even know if I was going to be able to get up and preach; I get hit physically.

 

So if this is what happens to you, it means if you could perceive something along these lines, it means that God is speaking to you about what’s happening in the ministry, and He’s asking you to pray. You ask Him how he wants you to pray, and you do it. This is a body ministry. There is only one pastor in this ministry. He is the spiritual Christ that is manifesting in every single person that has been woven into the fabric of this ministry. I am not your pastor. Jesus Christ is your pastor. He may be manifesting in me the majority of the time, because He has raised me up as a teacher. But He manifested in Lorraine [SP] today, and He manifests in every one of you in accordance with His will. And we are knitted together in the realm of the soul, and He will manifest wherever he wants. So, when He calls you to ministry, don’t be afraid; just ask Him how He wants you to pray.

 

Glory to God. The Angel of the Church at Port Jefferson, is the Lord Jesus Christ in whomever he chooses to manifest, and we have people associated with this ministry that live on the other side of the country. We have people in 18 states, and two countries outside of this country, and they are knitted together to the -- in the fabric, which is the soul realm of this ministry [?and?] [UNINTELLIGIBLE] there are a lot of people right here on Long Island that don’t come to the meeting that are knitted into the fabric of this ministry. And God will move upon any one of them that He wants to, and the more you respond to Him, the more He’s going to reveal Himself to you.

 

So, I just wanted to share that with you, did you wa- -- [INAUDIBLE].

 

PRAYER AND PROPHECY

 

And I shall bring you forth, sayeth the Lord, and My spirit shall appear in a [?greater measure?] sayeth God. And I shall bless, and I shall curse not, and many shall be blessed by the increased ministry coming forth from this ministry. Thank you, Lord.

 

I speak unto the fivefold ministry. Yea, sayeth the Lord, you who have refused My spirit. You who have denied My word. You who have blasphemed my ministers. You who have called them that they are of another spirit. You to whom I have witnessed but who have stumbled at the stumbling block.

 

I declare unto you the hour of your existence is nearing an end. For indeed I shall manifest my sons, and they shall stand up in the power of my imparted anointing. And I shall bring you down, sayeth God, yea, indeed.

 

Whatever vestige of my spirit exists in your [?ministry?ministries?], I shall withdraw it, sayeth God. And I shall lead your building. And I shall lead your vessels, as an empty shell, sayeth the Lord. And I say unto you this night, thou [?shalln’t?] see Me no more. Until thou sayeth, blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord.

 

Yea, sayeth the Lord, I shall appear in my Church. And I shall appear in my ministry. And you shall not rein me in, sayeth the Lord God, but indeed I shall put a bit in your mouth. And I shall rein you in, sayeth God. And I shall ride you. And you shall respond, sayeth the Lord. Whether you choose, or whether you refuse, I shall rule my creation, sayeth God, for the hour of my appearing is indeed at hand.

 

Yea, sayeth the Lord, unto  every man and woman holding elected and appointed office in this nation. Serve me, sayeth God, or indeed I shall cast thee down. Yea, I shall deliver the out from my office, sayeth God. I shall expose thy sins, sayeth the Lord. And I shall deliver the -- and I shall place me down. And indeed, I shall cause to be an elected men and woman of my choice. Yea, even men and women after My own heart, sayeth the Lord. I shall do this thing, for I remind you that all men in authority are placed thus because of My choice, sayeth the Lord.

 

Yea, sayeth God, I shall cause the elections to respond to My spirit. I raise up and I put down governments, sayeth the Lord. And indeed, I shall rule in this one, once again. Hallelujah

 

We rebuke the scourge across the land. We rebuke homosexuality in elected or appointed office. We rebuke moral repribu- -- reprobateness in elected and appointed office. All reprobate minds come down, sayeth the Lord. Either respond to Me or step down from your office, sayeth the living God.

 

Humanism across the land, we rebuke you. We tear you down to the ground. Abortion, we curse you. We call you what you are, you foul spirit of the worship of Moloch. You who would put your children through the fire, We expose you for what you are. We raise up, sayeth the Lord, speakers to go on TV to speak the truth. All of these people representing the pro-choice forth, you who have not told the truth, I shall take you down, and I shall raise up people that love Me after my own heart, and they shall go on TV, and they shall speak the truth. Abortion is sin, and it indeed brings down the judgment upon this nation. You kill babies, and you shall be killed. You have brought down the destruction, and the judgment of Almighty God on this nation.

 

I rebuke the Pablum. I rebuke the milk. I rebuke the weakness that’s being poured out of the people that call themselves My people. Abortion is murder. And a murder is responded to by murder. Yea, even a life for a life, sayeth the Lord God. I shall [?recompense?], sayeth God. Repent, sayeth the Lord, for indeed My wrath is upon this nation.

 

Reprobate mind that rules across this land, you who would call evil good, and good evil, We tear you down. You who would discredit the word of God, We discredit you. We command, that every word that has been lifted up against the credibility of the word of God should be proven false, should be exposed, should be destroyed, and that the word of the living God shall be restored to its position of high esteem in this nation. We tear through the darkness of the minds of the people. We tear through the selfishness, through the deceit, through the lies. We rebuke hedonism, We rebuke fornication, adultery, all the selfishness in this nation. We curse your roots, and We say, be restored, in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

You, in the government that I have raised up, who would stand up on public TV and say that you are doing all that you can do with regard to the drug program, We rebuke you, you who would not name the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. You who would stand up and lie to the people. You who would deny them the truth that their only hope is in Jesus Christ the Son of God. We put burning coals on your mouth, that it should be purified, that you should speak the truth unto the nation. Glory to God.

 

And yea I say unto the descendants of the natural Jew, that live in this hour, yea, the fullness of the gentiles is indeed about to come in. And I am reaching forth for these, sayeth the Lord. Come unto me my peoples, sayeth God, for indeed, I have the ability to graft you back into the tree.

 

Yea, even now, sayeth the Lord, the hour of My appearing is at hand. And I shall restore all things, sayeth the Lord. Yea, I shall even reconcile all things into Me. And there shall be wailing, and gnashing of teeth.

 

Yea, indeed, I shall put down all rule and principality and power. And I shall even put the last enemy under My feet, sayeth God. Yea, even death I shall put under my feet. And I shall grant life to My wife, even the living soul, sayeth the Lord God.

 

Yea, sayeth the Lord, I saw a mighty angel. And he had one foot on the land, and he had one foot on the sea, sayeth the Lord. And he raised his hand unto heaven, and he swore unto heaven, sayeth God, that the time shall be no longer.

 

But that the Lord’s Christ should appear on the earth. Hallelujah. That righteousness shall be restored to mankind, sayeth the Lord.

 

And yea, he sent forth his sons to preach.

 

Revelation Chapter 12, Verses 10-12, “And I heard a very authoritative voice in the spiritual realm of the soul preaching, rescue from Satan, sin and death, and the miracle working power that is in the life of Jesus Christ. And the spiritual power base that the Father dwells in, and the ability of his Christ to resist evil and be righteous, has become available to the members of the living soul at this very moment. Because the accuser of the members is thrown down under the Soul of Jesus Christ, even Satan, the one who was accusing of sin, the members that Christ is appearing in and the members that Christ is not appearing in, during the season that Satan is God’s [garment. And the members of the living soul brought Satan under control.” Why? Because the Soul of Jesus Christ layered over him. "Even the glorified soul of the one who gave up his rich spiritual life so that they could come into existence. And they curbed Satan’s wicked activities."

 

Where? In their minds, because the life of Jesus Christ dwells within their minds. And that life was witnessed to by the righteousness of their motives. And they acknowledged the immoral condition of their own souls, until they separated from them and transferred into the soul of Jesus Christ. Therefore the spiritual realm of God and the spiritual realm of the soul of Jesus Christ, and the spiritual life of the Father that is tabernacleing there is very glad. But the members of the living soul who live out of their carnal minds, and never manifest Christ are experiencing great grief and calamity as a result of the uncontrolled raging passions of their satanic mind and the violent criminal behavior he is causing, because Satan understands that the season of his appearing is almost over.

 

I’d like to remind you that through chapter 11 of the Book of Revelation, we are entering into John’s vision, which is being ministered to him through the spiritual realm of God. Excuse me.

 

Starting with chapter 12, we see the program of God as it is seen from the Earth, or from the spiritual realm of the soul.

 

And we are continuing in Chapter 12, Verse 13, “And when the dragons saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the manchild.” And I call your attention to the fact that that word child is in italics, which means it does not appear in the original Greek. It really should read, he persecuted the woman, which brought forth the man, which brought forth the man. Glory to God. And when the dragons saw that he was cast unto the earth, this word unto is Strong’s 1519. It can also be translated into.

 

And I’m suggested to you that the unconscious mind of man was cast down into the soul life of Jesus Christ. The earth being the soul, and we’ve learned, in the -- as we go through the Book of Revelation, that God does not distinguish between the soul of Jesus Christ and the soul of Adam. He just calls them both the earth. Whenever God talks about the earth, He’s talking about the soul. And you have to read the surrounding scriptures and implement the revelation that you already have to determine whether He’s talking about the earth of the Adamic soul, or the earth of the soul of the Lord Jesus Christ, because if you are a believer, you now have two souls. You now have two souls, the soul of the Lord Jesus Christ and the soul of Adam. And they are at war with one another. Glory to God.

 

And when your warfare is accomplished, the Christ in you shall have placed the Soul of Adam underneath his feet, and you can express that in several ways. You could say Adam will go down under the feet of Christ. But sometimes the Scripture says that he’s going into Christ. And I remind you that the devil and his angels are being cast into the Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire is Christ. The Adamic soul in every part of him, including the satanic mind, is going to be utterly consumed and overtaken by the Christ that is growing in us in this hour. Glory to God, Hallelujah.

 

So when the dragons saw that he was cast into the earth, the satanic mind of the Adamic soul realized that he was being overtaken by Christ. He had been cast down into the earth of Jesus Christ that previously had been underneath his feet. And I remind you that when Christ is conceived in you, He is conceived in seed form, and in His initial stage, He is underneath the feet of the Adamic soul, including Satan. Does everybody here know somebody that has conceived Christ and is not living out of Him? He’s still living a carnal life, just as wicked as he lived in the world. Why? Christ is present, but He’s down underneath the feet of the Adamic soul. That’s the place where He’s -- He comes forth, and He stands up in the power of his Father, and wages war against the Adamic soul, and the ultimate result of it is that the situation is reversed, whereas Christ was underfoot, Christ goes on top, and whereas Adam ruled by Satan was on top, he goes underfoot.

 

That’s one way to express it, and another way to express it is that the Adamic soul will be cast into the soul of Jesus Christ, which is an all-consuming fire. Our Father -- our God is an all-consuming fire, and the Father God is within His Christ. And we did a study in the first chapter of the Book of Ezekiel, and we found out that in the glorified condition, the fire of Almighty God, that’s ruling in glorified man, will extend down to the depths of hell and as high up to the heavens of God. It will prevail in every element of the mind of man, and it will burn, and it will keep it purified.

 

And all of the wickedness in the creation, yea, God even creates evil and forms the light. And the light is formed by having it wrapped around with darkness. But that darkness will no longer be performing its wickedness, it will be burning in the fire of Almighty God, giving form to the creation, and serving the Lord God, and doing no harm. But it is by the means of the wickedness in the earth that the living God shall appear. He is the garment that God is wearing, and He is the elements that are giving form to the spirit of God, which has no formal shape, He is a spirit.

 

And when the dragon saw that he was cast into the soul of Jesus Christ, and was forced to serve him, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man. This word persecuted is Strong’s 1377. And it means to put to flight, to harass, to trouble, to molest. And the word woman, we’ve had this before, it’s 1135, it can be translated woman or wife. And I remind you that the woman is the living soul, and she is the wife of Almighty God. And in this hour she is running away from him. She does not want to get married, nor does she want to consummate the marriage. Even in the church world you find it filled with believers that say they’re waiting for the wedding, but they do not want to consummate the marriage, because the consummation of the marriage means giving up every vestige of our own will, and running our own life, as we now have it. Glory to God. So we find the Lord Jesus Christ faced with a rebellious bride, she doesn’t want to marry, nor does she want to consummate the marriage.

 

Glory to God. But in this case we see that the woma- -- the woman, the living soul, the wife of God, she is -- she has brought forth the man despite her rebelliousness. Glory to God. This word brought forth is Strong’s 5088, and it means to produce from seed. Now, we studied this in our studies in the sun-clad woman. And this expression brought forth is Strong’s 5088. It means to produce from seed.

 

Now, I just put this in here to review yo- -- to review, and to remind you, that offspring can be brought forth from sources other than seeds. And our example is plants. You can take a cutting from a plant and put it in water and grow roots and have a whole new plant. And that plant has not come forth from seed, it’s come forth from a cutting. And the condition of the human race in this hour is that every human being alive is a leaf in the plant known as Adam. God created one living soul, and it has divided. It has multiplied through cell division, and every human being on the face of the Earth is just another leaf in the plant known as Adam. He has multiplied through putting forth new leaves. But the onl- -- he has not brought forth any human being that has existence as a result of the living soul being fertilized by Almighty God with the exception of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

 

And I know I’ve taught this here. Jesus said, “I am the Son of man, and I am the Son of God.” Jesus was not double-minded, He did not have trouble making up his mind. The man, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, was the creation of God. He was the only man that ever walked the face of the Earth, who in His mind, was the offspring of the living soul, and the spirit of Almighty God. You and I and everyone else that we know are of the offspring of Adam, and Adam reproduced in his own image and in his own likeness. But Jesus Christ of Nazareth was brought forth from the seed of the Father. And he was in the image and the likeness of Almighty God. And this is what we can look forward to in this hour. Hallelujah.

 

So the woman brought forth the man. And this man was brought forth from seed. The living soul had been fertilized by the spirit of Almighty God. And she brought forth the creation of God who was the image of Almighty God. Where? In His mind. Glory to God.

 

And I will remind you, I took this from an old message, the Greek word translated brought forth is used only to describe the birth of Jesus Christ in the Scripture. If you studied that out, that's the only time it's used to describe the birth of Jesus Christ. No one here has been brought forth from seed. There is a Christ in us. If Christ has been conceived in you, there is a Christ in you that has been brought forth from the seed of the Father.

 

Anybody here remember how the Christ that was brought forth from the seed of the Father is in us? Anybody rememember? When Jesus Christ of Nazareth was fertilized, we know that while He was in Mary’s womb, the Holy Spirit hovered over Him, and brought forth a man that was in the image of the Father God. He was brought forth from seed.

 

Well, if you have conceived the Christ, there is a Christ in you that is being brought forth from the seed. Does anybody rem- -- from the seed of Almighty God. Does anybody remember how we were fertilized? Anybody remember? How were we fertilized, yes? No, the Holy Spirit did not hover over our mothers when we were in the womb. How did we get fertilized?

 

            [INAUDIBLE]

 

OK. By the Holy Spirit, amen. The man -- the male element of the creation is the Holy Spirit. When you receive the Holy Spirit, His job is to join with your human spirit and cause Christ to be conceived in you. The Holy Spirit is not Christ, brethren. He is the male element of the creation that is to join with the female element of the creation, your human spirit, and the exact image of Almighty God is to appear in your human spirit. You need the male and the female element.

 

The Holy Spirit is defensive Christ -- I’m sorry the Holy Spirit is curative. If you have a demon or an illness, it can heal you. But it is not defensive, it does not stop you from getting the demon, and it does not stop you from getting the disease. You must conceive Christ. He is defensive when he stands up in full stature, He will stop the witchcraft attack from coming against you. He will stop you from getting sick, and He will be a wall of fire within you and a wall of fire around you, and you shall be a defense city. And nothing, by any means, shall harm you. The Holy Spirit cannot do that for you, brethren, you must conceive Christ. There’s another step. Glory to God.

 

OK. And when the dragons saw -- and we know the dragon is Satan, we’ve had a lot of teaching on that -- when the dragon saw that he was cast into the soul of Jesus Christ, he put to fight, he arrest, he troubled and he molested the living soul, which brought forth the man, the sons of God. Hallelujah.

 

And that word man is Strong’s 730. It just means male. Now I want to give you a brief review on part 3 of the sun-clad woman, so that you can follow me here. In Revelation 12:4, the word child -- I’ll read a few -- 12:4, towards the end of that verse, it says, "and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered for it to devour her child as soon as it was born." That word child is the Greek word that means born from seed. The living soul was not bringing forth just another member of the living soul, she was bringing forth Christ. It was the dragon that was standing there ready to destroy the Christ that’s within you. Not just another human being that was born, but the Christ that’s coming forth in men.

 

And in Revelation 12:5, it says, “And she brought forth a manchild.” Now in 12:4, it’s just child. In 12:5, it’s manchild, and this is a different word. The word man is Strong’s 730, and the word child is a different word than the word child in Verse 4. And we found out that this word child means merely a human offspring without the image of Christ. And what the Scripture is telling us is that she brought forth a human child in Verse 4. In Verse 5 it tells us that that human child was male, and we know that every member of the living soul without Christ is female. So the fact that the Scripture says that the human child was male indicates that that child had the image of Christ in it. Glory to God.

 

Now the interlinear reason, "She brought forth a child, a male." The Greek word translated child here indicates an animal body, the implication being that her child was human. Revelation 12:4 says, "To devour her child as soon as it was born." And the second word child in Revelation 12:5 says, "and her child was caught up into God." And the Greek word translated child in both those places means born from seed. So we see in Revelation 12:4 she has a child. In Revelation 12:5 she has a manchild, and in Revelation 12:13, it just says man. There’s no more word child there. The King Jame’s translators added that word child in. It’s not there. First she brought forth a child, then she brought forth a man child, and in Verse 13 it says she brought forth a man. Let’s find out what’s going on in here. Glory to God. Hallelujah.

 

I just lost my place, bear with me for a second. OK. What I’m suggesting to you is that in this Verse 13, we’re being told that the Christ is standing in full stature in the first fruits company. In Verse -- in 12 -- in Chapter 12, Verse 4, and Chapter 12, Verse 5, we’re being told that she brought forth a child. She conceived. Christ was conceived in her. He wasn’t in full stature. But in Verse 13, He’s in full stature. He’s no longer called a child, He’s just a man. She brought forth the man. Glory to God.

 

OK, I just want to read you Verse 13 again, “And when the dragon saw that he was cast into the earth, he persecuted the woman, which brought forth the man.” Now the Scripture's reference to a manchild describes the whole creation. In other words, in the earlier verses when it says child or manchild, it’s the living -- it’s typifying the living soul, whose mind has been entwined with the mind of God. It’s typifying a person, like you or me, or like Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whose mind has been completely entwined with Christ.

 

This expression child, child brought forth from seed or child -- or human child that was -- that has -- that is a male -- I’m sorry I don’t seem to be doing this too well, I’m going to try again. In the earlier verses, we see a description of human beings, the whole creation, a man, in whose mind the spirit of God has been woven together with him. That’s what’s being described in Verse 4 and Verse 5, someone whose begotten of seed, someone whose in a human body, and also is male, which means entwined together with God in their mind. And what I’m suggesting to you is that the reason it doesn’t say manchild in Verse 13, the reason it just says man, is that God is separating the spiritual Christ, known as Christ Jesus, from the man.

 

Does anybody here not know that there’s a man inside of you? There’s another man. His name is Christ Jesus. And at the marriage, we shall be joined to him, and we shall be forever with the Lord. But in this hour there is a separation. There’s a spiritual man in of us, and there’s a carnal man in us. So let’s find out why the Scripture separates that in Verse 13. We’ll continue. Glory to God.

 

"And when the dragon saw that he was cast into the soul of Christ, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man." Well doesn’t that -- that doesn’t make any sense. When the dragons saw that he was cast into the soul of Christ, which means he should become powerless, he persecuted the woman, which brought forth the manchild. That doesn’t make any sense at all. Well let’s find out what the Scripture's talking about.

 

And we found out in prophecy, especially in the Book of Revelation, there’s no way you’re going to understand these scriptures unless by revelation from the living God. There is just no way, because that is a direct contradiction. The dragon was cast down under the soul of Jesus christ, but yet he still had the power to persecute the woman, which brought forth the spiritual man Christ Jesus. And carnal man would go screaming down the streets saying, those Scriptures, they were just written by men, they contradict themselves, they make no sense, we’ll invalidate them.

 

And as I’ve been preaching in this ministry for 2 years, if there’s a contradiction [UNINTELLIGIBLE] -- or if there is what appears to be a contradiction in the Scripture your problem is your carnal mind. God is not contradicted. God is not confused. God does not have any problem with his holy Scripture. Your carnal mind has a problem understanding what God is saying. So let’s find out what God is saying.

 

I have an Alternate Translation here for you on Revelation 12:13, and then I’ll talk about it some more. “And when the unconscious mind of man” -- that’s the dragon, or Satan -- “perceived that he was brought into submission to the soul of Jesus Christ, he troubled the living souls, which gave birth to the male” -- or to Christ Jesus.

 

Well, what I’m suggesting to you, brethren, is that it was only a few members of the living soul in whom the male appeared. It was only the first fruits company, in the minds of the first fruits company that Satan was put underfoot of the Christ. And Satan, who was reigning in the mind’s of the remaining members of the living soul, persecuted those remaining members.

 

God does not separate his wife into two people. She is His wife. But she is a many-membered wife. She is a many-membered living soul. So in the first fruits company of the living soul, Satan was cast into the fire of Almighty God. And Satan saw that he was cast to the Earth. And what did he do when he saw that the first fruits company had put him underfoot. Where? In their minds. He knew that it was only a matter of time until this would happen in every member of the living soul. And he went ahead, and he started persecuting every member of God’s wife that did not have the power to deal with him.

 

Does anybody not understand this? There’s only one woman in God’s mind, but she’s a many-membered woman. And Satan saw that he was cast to the earth. Where? In the minds of the first fruits company. And what did he do? He went and he persecuted the living soul, but he -- in the living soul -- in the members of the living soul in which he was not put underfoot.

 

OK. Does anybody -- is anybody having a problem with this? I understand its confusing. God makes no separation. He does not say, My wife is in two parts. He says, and when Satan saw that he was cast into the life of Jesus Christ, Satan rose up. After he was put underfoot, he rose up, and he pursued the woman, which brought forth the man.

 

Brethren, it’s clarified further on down. But we’re not going to get to that today, in Verse 17, where it says and the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed.

 

If you are a member of the first fruits company and you enter into this condition, will you place Satan under your feet by the power of Almighty God? He’s not persecuting you. But there are other members of the living soul that he’s going after like crazy, because he knows that his time is short. Glory to God.

 

I have an Alternate Alternate Translation of Revelation 12:13.

 

“And when the unconscious mind of man perceived that some of the members of the living soul of Jesus Christ within their own mind” -- oh, I read it wrong. Father, I just pray for help, I’m really being attacked tonight.

 

"And when the unconscious mind of man perceived that some of the members of the living soul had brought him into submission to the soul of Jesus Christ within their own minds, he, Satan, troubled those members of the living soul which had not yet birthed the spiritual man, which would defeat Satan in their minds also, even Christ Jesus."

 

"And when the unconscious mind of man perceived that some of the members of the living soul had brought him into submission to the Soul of Jesus Christ within their own minds, Satan troubled those members of the living soul, which had not yet birthed the spiritual man, which would do the same thing for them." Glory to God.

 

Now I have a little something extra besides this. The Greek word translated persecuted has another translation. It can also mean to pursue earnestly. And it’s used to describe one who seeks after the promises of God. Philippians 3, Verse 12 says, “Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect, but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which I am apprehended of Christ." That word follow after is the same word that’s translated persecuted. So what am I saying? I’m saying that Satan goes crazy because he’s put underfoot in the mind’s of the first fruit’s company, and he pursues after the balance of the members of the living soul. But his pursuing of them drives them to seek the deliverance of Jesus Christ. He pressures them to pursue after the deliverance of Almighty God. And as Paul said -- Paul put it -- Glory to God -- “not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect, but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which I am apprehended in Christ."

 

So Satan’s violence towards the members of the living soul in whom Christ has not been conceived is serving the purposes of Almighty God. He’s pressuring them to pursue the promise of God in their own life. So the persecution of Satan is to your good. Satan is the servant of Almighty God. I’ve been preaching this a lot. If you’re not repenting, his job is to bring you to repentance. If you are repenting, his job is to bring trials and tribulations into your life that will drive you to seek Almighty God and ultimately enter into a place in Christ where you put Satan under your feet through the power that has been imparted to you. Glory to God.

 

Satan, I know he can be vicious, and I know he can hurt, but let’s get a realistic vision of him. He’s not a monster with a tail and horns. He is the servant of Almighty God, and he can go no further than the Lord permits him to go. And if he’s on your tail and he’s giving you more trouble than you want, brethren, you get down on your face and seek God for deliverance, and ask him if there isn’t anything that you have to do, repent of, learn, anything to get through this trial.

 

You are undefeatable. You can be cast down but you can never be destroyed. For Satan is just doing the work of his master, and it’s ultimately for your good. Verse 14, “And to the woman were given two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness into her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time from the face of the serpent.” To the woman, to the wife of God, was given two wings. and the number two in Bible numerology typifies the Father and the Son, and the word wings is Strong’s 4420. The word literally means feathers but in the Scripture its used to describe the protection of God.

 

Matthew 23:37 says, “O, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou has killed the prophets and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered Thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not.”

 

Jesus wanted to gather the believers in Jerusalem under the protection of His wings. So the woman, the wife of God, was given two wings. She was given the protection of even the Father and the Son, Glory to God, of a great eagle. And that word great is Strong’s 3173. And it means mighty and great.

 

We’re told in the King James that she was given the wings of a great eagle, but if you look that up in the interlinear, she was given the wings of the great eagle. And I declare to you she was given the protection of the Father and Son, even the great eagle, the spirit of Almighty God, and His Son in the realm of appearance. Hallelujah.

 

And I just want to give you some information about the eagle. I took this from our study in Ezekiel, under God’s throne, which was chapter 4, I think. The eagle, Webster says, is any of various large birds of prey, which are active in the day time rather than night. And we know that if you’re living out of the living soul you’re dwelling in the night.

 

So the -- if you enter into the eagle -- she was given two wings of an eagle -- it means that she entered into the spiritual realm of God. In some measure she started to manifest and to live out of the day. And eagles are noted for their strength.  She received spiritual strength. And they're noted for their size, their graceful figure, their keenness of vision. She was given discernment and all of the gifts by which she needed to function in the realm of the spirit, and she was given power of flight. She was given the power to function in the realm of the spirit.

 

Now the word eagle is Strong’s 5404. And I think that’s the Hebrew word eagle. And we’re told in the lexicon that the eagle often changes its feathers just like a serpent changes its skin. And I mention this to you -- I think it was a year ago, I don’t know whether you recall it or not -- but we found out that the snakes -- the snake typifies man in his fallen condition. And the snake sheds his skin continuously several times a year. And we declared to you that the spiritual life of the living soul sheds the skins that he lives in frequently. And whenever a human being dies, that is the serpent shedding that particular skin, and he has a new skin in the baby that was born, the offspring of that man before he died. If he had a child. The serpant’s new skin is in the offspring of the man. The spiritual entity that is known as the living soul is continuously shedding his skin. When people die and leave this realm that’s what’s happening.

 

And we’re told that the eagle sheds his feathers just like the serpent sheds his skin. And I’m suggesting to you that this eagle is an in-between stage. It’s before the complete glorification. It’s talking about people in human bodies that are manifesting the spirit of God, and it’s describing the body of Christ in its in-between stage where people are still dying. And the feathers are still being shed. The feathers of this great bird, typifying the Father and the Son in the realm of appearance, people are still dying. The creation has not been glorified yet. And so the creation is now -- was typified as a serpent, and it is now typified as an eagle. And it’s in the process of reaching the point where it will not die again, and there will be no more shedding, even of the feathers.

 

And in Exodus 19:4, we see God saying unto the Hebrews, “Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bear you on eagle’s wings, and brought you unto myself.” So that’s one more witness that to be born on eagle’s wings is God’s way of saying His --God’s way of describing His spiritual deliverance.

 

So this woman, she was given two wings of a great eagle, and that is typifying the deliverance of God that was manifested in her being called up to a higher spiritual realm, where she was given some power in the realm of the spirit.

 

And Matthew 24:28 says, “For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.” And that’s a very controversial Scripture. So many people have their opinion about it, and it’s so simple, brethren. For wheresoever the carcass" -- the dead body is -- "there will the eagles be gathered together."

 

Brethren, you are not going to fly in the heavenlies until your soul dies. If you want to fly in the realm -- the heavenly realm of God’s spirit with power and authority, your soul has to be dead or as good as dead. You have to have your heel on His neck, brethren. I’m telling you, God’s not going to give you power if He manifests his will in you. He's not. He might let you cast a demon out here or there, and He might let you heal somebody. But if you want to really enter into authority in God, as we see people doing in this ministry, you’re not going to enter in when Satan manifests at will, in your mind and through your mouth and through your behavior. You’re just not. Where the carcass is, where your soul has died, you shall see people flying in the heavenly realm of the spirit.

 

And God gave me a dream about 3 and a half years ago. I had a -- He offered -- He granted me a great growth spurt, a spiritual growth spurt, and I wasn’t really aware of what had happened for a while. And he gave me a dream. I was in a black leather jacket riding on a motorcycle. And in case you don’t know, God sees every human being in this realm as a criminal. Unless you’ve got your soul under control, you’re a criminal. You are a spiritual criminal.

 

And I was on this bicycle, and there was this big mountain, and I just shot my bicycle -- motorcycle -- shot it all the way up. It was almost straight up, and I went up about two-thirds of the way to the top of the way to the mountain, and then I started circling te mountain at this great height. And I thought -- said, oh, isn’t this wonderful. But I looked down, and there was the motorcycle person that I thought was me, and he was lying dead down at the bottom, down on the ground. And I couldn’t figure out what happened. And the second I hit it up to two-thirds of the way on top of the mountain all the alarms started ringing, and there were sirens and police came out. They came out in cars and motorcycles and in tanks, and they wanted to throw me out of the realm of the heavenlies.

 

And a voice came out of heaven and it said, no, it’s all right, she’s dead. And the policemen went down to the ground and they saw me in the form of this motorcycle person, the criminal me, was lying dead at the base of the mountain. And they said all right, she can stay in the realm of the heavenlies, she died.

 

And I didn’t get the interpretation to that dream for quite a few months. But the Lord has empowered me to put enough of my soul underfoot that I entered in two-thirds of the way up into the realm of the heavenlies. I didn’t go all the way up. Glory to God.

 

OK. Alternate Translation --

 

So what I’m saying is that eagles typify the spiritual life of God that is given to men.

 

Alternate Translation, the first third of Revelation 12:14, “And the Father and the Son were given to the living soul, even the soul life of Jesus Christ, and she became a spiritual being under the protection of Christ." Continuing with, "that she might fly into the wilderness into her place.” The word fly is Strong’s 4072. It merely means fly, and it indicates that she’s functioning in the realm of the spirit. She’s not getting there by carnal means. She’s getting there by the power of God. And we know that there are men that try to enter into the realm of the spirit -- excuse me -- by using carnal means, and we call that witchcraft.

 

You cannot enter into the realm of the spirit by your own carnal mind, because if you do, you’re guilty of witchcraft. And we have a lot of people in the church that want to be spiritual so badly. A lot of them don’t understand this, that they try to enter in through the power of their own soul. And we find people manifesting false prophecy, and manifesting false gifts and getting into all kinds of witchcraft and all kinds of problems, because they’re not willing to wait for God.

 

Wait for God, brethren, He’ll get you there. He’ll get you there.

 

"That she might fly into the wilderness into her place." And the wilderness, we had this a few messages back, when we studied Verse 5, of Chapter 12, so I’m just going to repeat it for you. The word wilderness is Strong’s 2048, and it means a desert, an uncultivated area, and it's used to describe a woman neglected by her husband, one who withholds himself from her. And we have a Scripture for you, which, it’s the wrong Scripture written down, so I’ll just read it for you. I think it’s in Isaiah. I have Galatians written down but it’s got to be Isaiah.

 

Rejoice -- oh, I see -- in Galatians 4:27 they were quoting Isaiah. “Rejoice thou barren, that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travail is not: for the desolate” -- that’s the word translated wilderness -- “has many more children than she which hath a husband.”

 

So what am I suggesting to you? That the wilderness describes that in-between spiritual condition of the soul that has shunned her husband Satan but is not yet married to Jesus. We know that we have to start resisting our husband Satan. We have to start denying his instructions. We have to start breaking his power over us. And we can be in that condition for a long time before we’re joined to the Lord Jesus Christ. And the Scripture calls that spiritual condition the wilderness. And it can be very painful, brethren, but we have no choice. It’s certainly worth it, but we have no choice. There’s no way we’re getting into heaven without resisting hell. And hell is marriage to Satan. We’ve got to be separated from him. Glory to God.

 

So she flew into the wilderness into her place. And this word place is Strong’s 5117. And it’s any portion of space marked off from surrounding space. It means an inhabited space, a city, a village, or a district. And I’m suggesting to you that she entered into the soul of Christ in some measure. She isn’t married to Jesus yet, but she had to fly away to a place. As she’s flying away from the living soul, as she’s shunning Satan, she has to have some toehold in the soul of Christ.

 

Alternate Translation, second third Revelation 12:14, “So that she could” -- so that the living soul could -- “by the power of Christ, which has been conceived in her mind, enter into that spiritual state of being, where she resists and wages war against Satan, her -- and wages war against her husband Satan but is not yet joined to Jesus Christ.”

 

So the wilderness, the place that’s been prepared for her is that in-between stage where she’s no longer totally subject to Satan, but she’s neither yet joined to Jesus Christ. And that’s where I am and I’ve been there for years. And I know a lot of people that have been there. It’s tough, and it’s really hard, because Satan, your husband, still has a lot of authority over you. But your new protector, Christ, He’s imparting power to you to resist, and the divorce is coming forth. But we must wage war with the power that Christ imparts to us. We must separate ourselves from Satan and from our carnal minds.

 

And as we’ve been finding out as we go through this Book of Revelation, that that is the way that we shall enter into the soul life of Jesus Christ and heaven, if you will, by waging war against the satanic mind which is within our very own mind, by the power that has been imparted to us by the new kingdom in the earth, even the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.

 

He is the king that has given us a choice. When Christ is conceived in you, you now have a choice. You are no longer subject to Satan without recourse. If you do not have Christ conceived in you, you have no power over this evil mind that is bent on destroying you. When Christ is conceived in you, you receive the power to make a choice, to say, I don’t want to live like that anymore. I don’t want to think like that anymore. I don’t want to behave like that anymore. I don’t want to feel like that anymore. Lord Jesus, give me Your thoughts, Your thinking, Your feeling, Your mind, Your way, and you can’t do that. You can’t reject everything that Satan’s giving you all your life unless you have someone else to turn to. So if you have conceived Christ, you have received the ability to choose another way. Glory to God.

 

OK. Continuing with, “Where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time from the face of the serpent.” This word nourished is Strong’s 5142. And it’s the same word that was translated feed in revelation 12:5 -- I’m sorry revelation 12:6. "And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had the place prepared of God, that they should feed her there, 1,203 score days." And I remind you that when we did that verse we found out that the living soul fled into the wilderness. She was given the ability to shun Satan to the place where she was going to be preached to and judged by the sons of God.

 

And there are these two ministrys that are going to bring the living soul into the image of Christ, the preaching of the true word and judgement upon the sin that is within our own minds. You’re not going to enter in because you believe this word, brethren. We have a lot of ministries in this country today that are preaching that if you just believe you enter in. But I declare to you that if you believe that you are deceived. The sin in your mind must be judged. It must be judged. You’re not going to get this thing because you believe it. It doesn’t work like that. Hallelujah.

 

OK. So she was nourished there for a time and times and half a time. And the word time in those three cases, time, times, and half a time, it’s all the same word, and it’s 24- -- it’s 2540 -- it means an occasion, a set or proper time, a season. And as we found out in the -- just the last message, where at the end of Verse 12 it says, “Because Satan knoweth that he has but a short time.” We found out that that meant a season, and it could mean a lifetime.

 

The season of your appearing in the earth is your lifetime. And I’m suggesting to you that the living soul is made up of many members that have many lifetimes. Each member has a lifetime. So what does this say? She was fed or she was supported, or, as we established when we did the sun-clad woman, Verse 6 of Chapter 12, we found out that that word means to -- to feed means to turn around and to change one’s mind from evil to good. That was what we discovered when we did Verse 6 of Chapter 12.

 

So she was nourished. She was receiving the ministry of the word, and the ministry of judgement. For how long? For a time, amd times, and half a time. And this word time. I’m suggesting to you. could mean a lifetime. I’m going to translate it that way here. And the word half is 2255, through the idea of partition.

 

And what I’m suggesting to you is that some members of the living soul will experience this spiritual condition of being in this in-between place where you’re resisting Satan, receiving the word of God and having your soul judged. Some of them will experience that for a whole lifetime. And their bodies will die, and their souls will die, and their spiritual substance will go on with God. That even though they’re partaking of this ministry, Christ will not appear in them in this particular lifetime. So some members of the living soul will be nourished, fed the word of God and judged, for one lifetime. And that lifetime will come to an end.

 

Others will experience this for more than one lifetime. And Christ will still not appear in them. And yet others will be joined to Christ after experiencing this condition for only one half a lifetime. Well, why would someone experience it for only one half a life time? Because in the midst of that lifetime, Glory to God, Jesus Christ stood up in them in full stature and cut off their carnal life. He cut it off in righteousness. Glory to God. Jesus Christ stood up in full stature in the midst of the lifetime of this category of the members of the living soul. And He appeared in them, and their natural life was cut off in righteousness. Glory to God. Hallelujah.

 

Where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time from the face of a serpent. And this word from, it can be translated away from. And the word face is Strong’s 4383, and it means to bring -- it means the front as being towards view. It means appearance, visage, presence or person. And I’m suggesting to you that she was going through this teaching and this judgement through these lifetimes for the many members of the living soul, that Satan was appearing in them.

 

Alternate Translation, third third of Revelation 12:14, “Where her mind is being turned away from the image of the unconscious minds of man, even Satan, and converted from evil to righteousness, a condition which will manifest in one lifetime for some members of the living soul, but will take more than one lifetime in other members of the living soul, and in yet other members of the living soul will manifest half way through one lifetime.”

 

She’s flying away into the wilderness where she is going to be ministered to by the sons of God, and there are many members of the living soul, and some of them it will take much longer -- it will take a much longer period of time of receiving this ministry before Christ stands up in them than others. Why? I don’t know. God hasn’t told me. Hallelujah.

 

Alternate Translation, the whole of Revelation 12:14, “And the Father and the Son were given to the living soul, even the soul life of Jesus Christ, and she became a spiritual being under the protection of Christ, so that she could by the power of the Christ, which has been conceived in her mind, enter into that spiritual state of being where she resists and wages war against her husband, Satan, but is not yet joined to Jesus. That place where her mind is being turned away from the image of the unconscious mind of man, even Satan, and converted from evil to righteousness. A condition which will manifest in one lifetime for some members of the living soul, but will take more than one lifetime in other members of the living soul, and in yet other members of the living soul will manifest half way through one lifetime.”

 

Recap, Revelation 12:13-14, “And when the unconscious mind of man perceived that some of the members of the living soul have brought him into submission to the soul of Jesus Christ within their own minds, he troubled those members of the living soul, which have not yet birthed the spiritual man, which would defeat Satan in their minds also, even Jesus Christ. And the Father and the Son were given to the living soul, even the soul life of Jesus Christ. And she became a spiritual being under the protection of Christ so that she could, by the power of the Christ, which has been conceived in her mind, enter into the spiritual state of being, where she resists and wages war against her husband, Satan, but is not yet joined to Jesus. That place, where her mind is being turned away from the image of the unconscious mind of man, even Satan, and converted from evil to righteousness. A condition which will manifest in one lifetime for some members of the living soul but will take more than one lifetime in other members of the living soul, and in yet other members of the living soul will manifest halfway through one lifetime.” Glory to God.

 

Any questions on tonight’s message? Hallelujah. Anybody? OK. You can’t think of any?
