CHAPTER
2
BY
OUR HANDS, THE HAT OF THE WIZARD
Deut.
8:17 “And thou say in thine heart, “My power and the might of mine hand hath
gotten me this wealth. But thou shalt
remember the Lord thy God, for it is He
that giveth thee power to get wealth; that He may establish His
covenant which He sware unto thy Fathers, as it is this day.”
It is written and
expressed in many ways throughout scriptures that in order for us to win we
must lose. This isn’t the approach that
you see and are taught of the world; a world that stresses self effort without
the assistance of God. We hear that an
individual is a “self-made” man. To the
world this sounds great and is understood that this man is a successful man; is
he? Know this, NO ONE gains success in
this way! No matter how it may appear or
what the world might say, this isn’t the way that it is. All power has been given to the Son of God,
and to who He so desires to give this power and the intent of giving this power
is never to the glory of man. It was
Pilate who had to learn this prior to the crucifixion of Jesus. He had said to Jesus, “Don’t you know that I
have POWER to crucify you or let you go?”
Jesus’ reply to him was, “You have no power unless my Father gives it to
you.” Well, we know that now all power
has been given to the Son; if there appears to be power in our times, that
power cannot be unless the Son so degrees it.
I know that there will be those who do not see this and will come up
with many illustrations and extreme examples to shoot this down. Most of what they might say or you the reader
might be thinking as you read this, most of these extreme illustrations will be
missing my point here. I am not saying
that the powers we see around us aren’t, but are only power through what the
scriptures call vessels of destruction or honor. God through His Son now releases power to the
world; what they do with this power may very well be evil, yet understand, the
power isn’t from Evil, it is from the Son of God; EVIL HAS NO POWER; if it did have power, it
then could not be said that the Son has “ALL” power. To my mind all is all; it is not some, most
or a thing shared; it is ALL POWER. As
to who or what gets this power now is in the hands of the Son of God. If you believe anything other than this, you
will have problems. I know, some might
think that I will have problems taking the stance I am now taking and have just
expressed. I at first thought the same
and questioned these thoughts I now share with you.
You hear the complaint
that it appears that evil today has more power then God. They are only right in that it “appears” this
way. Do you think for one moment that
God has lost control? An Evil might want
you to think this; but believe me, there has never been a moment in human
history that God didn’t have control of matters no matter how it may have
appeared to men of the world. God’s
original intent still stands, He started this ball rolling, He sustains its
rolling and one day He will consummate it; and you can, as they say, take that
to the bank. Now if you get caught up in
the moment of any present panic attack you might not believe that; yet that
doesn’t mean it isn’t so. It comes down
to from where you are viewing things.
In my opening paragraph
I mentioned that we have to lose to win; again there are those who will say
that it appears that mankind is losing more than winning. Now with that I would have to agree.
What? You agree with this? Yes; let me explain. The further we see a people get away from God
the more you will see them lose; that is if God had any love for them, this
would have to be the case. Now they
might not see it as love, but believe me this is real love; a love in reality
that is a harsh and dreadful thing compared to our idea of love in dreams. If God allowed humanity to continue on in its
self destructive way and did nothing to get their attention; this would be an
act of hate. God’s intervention by the withdrawing of His hand is
also an act of love, believe it or not. In order for Him to give us His
strength and power, once again, as the theme of this book is about, He must
allow our weakness to be exposed. How far do we have to go to admit to our
human frailty? How far does
humanity have to go before they realize how weak we truly are and thus need Him
and His power? The lie we have been fed
is an act of hate and purely evil; a lie that will lead to our total
destruction. God has promised to not
allow the total destruction of humanity to ever occur again. Local and national tragedies are nothing in
comparison to a worldwide annihilation.
It is never God’s will that any perish.
Taking this further;
looking at just the power expressed in nature.
We see destructive storms and some call them acts of God and put it into
insurance clauses. Are they acts of
God? I am sure there are those who are
reading this book up to this point that would throw it back into my face this
idea, “You have said that “ALL” power has been given to the Son of God. Well, what about the power of these
destructive storms; does the power of these storms come from the Son of God? Sounds like the Son needs some discipline of
His Father. It appears that He is like a
child with a new chemistry set?”
Yes, I understand;
again it is something that “appears” to be yet isn’t the case if you really
look at it from a different view or perspective. The Son of God passed any needed test of
being trust worthy with great power, the power of God the Father; the Son of
God is worthy and I won’t in this chapter go into how this is so and why, but
will in a later chapter. For now just
believe me, He is trust worthy with such power more so then the totality of all
humanity and their “COLLECTIVE MIND.” I
want you, the reader of this book, after you have put it down, pay close attend
to the use of this thing of the “Collective Mind” used in every aspect of
conversation in this modern age. It is
an expression that was once used of a generation of people who suffered a
worldwide destruction. It was phrased
differently, yet is means the same thing if you get by any religious idea or
use of it. Here is how it was once
expressed of them, “And every imagination of their hearts was evil
continually.” The total collective mind,
consciousness of that generation, minus 8 individuals, had gotten to the point
that they were using powers independent from a God of great power who had given
their natural father, Adam, the rights to such power. Power in the hands of man, cut off from God
resulted in the total annihilation of the human race, that without God’s
intervention the eight individuals that were saved would not have
occurred.
I at this point asked
the Father for more insights on this.
Here is what He had to offer:
You
have become like Mickey Mouse in the movie “Fantasia” using the Magician’s hat…things
get out of control with your use of its power.
You, being evil unaware, think to use the hat for a good as Mickey did
when he got the broom to do his work carrying buckets of water from the well.
When you see things are getting out of control, you again try using your powers
to stop it but only increase the problem as Mickey did trying to chop up the
broom; he only produced more brooms and creating now a uncontrollable flood. You learn why I, God, barred you from the
tree of life once you ate at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. You gained the hat! This was Satan’s trick…knowing this hat on your
head (mind) would destroy you; Satan seeks to gain it with demonic possession,
and then absolute destruction is assured. Not until the wizard returns and you surrender
the hat (your mind) are thing once again brought under control. I had said that
I would send strong delusion in the end; you have questioned why “I” would send
this strong delusion, thinking I must be evil doing this. You now know what this strong delusion is,
POWER. Power has been given by me to
humanity; the strong delusion is you in your evil state taking it and using it
for what you had thought to be well intended ways. Any true Son of God would
have given back the hat to the One I pronounce as trust worthy with such power,
My Son in whom is ALL POWER. This hat on
the head of my Son works my good purposes.
It was He who gave you power, what have you done with it? The wizard will soon return, surrender the
hat now, and let Him correct the mess you have created with the misuse of the
hat.
Reading this as I type
it now gives me chills. Think with me
for a moment in light of what the Lord said to me. Many would cry “injustice” if they ever
discovered that what Adam & Eve did not only separated them from God, but
also all of us; thus we are born under the wrath of God. I have addressed this in another book, but
briefly here, in light of the above word from the Lord to me, let me share some
of that writing. God has corrected that
which we have called an injustice by offering “justification” through what
Jesus Christ gained for us, through His sacrifice, “RESTORING WHAT ADAM HAD
LOST.” Now we are given power as Adam
once had. The question is, “WHAT HAVE
YOU DONE WITH THAT POWER MICKEY? All
that I can say is, “Whatever you think you have done with it, you would have
been better giving it back, until this life was over, and you “watched” His
Spirit doing for you what you couldn’t do for yourself. Then, when you returned with Him at His
second coming as an Army, you would have known what you should do with the
power you definitely will have reigning with Him. Got it!!
This next section of this chapter gives what
was a rather long research with a lot of isolated thoughts that is summed up in
the above short paragraph you just read.
You may not be able to follow my line of thought; not everything I found
is in these notes. I would have to read
between the lines; lines that expanded over days of research, that was summed
up in a single paragraph. You don’t have
to read this long drawn out research; I just offer it to give you all some idea
of the labor that we sometimes get into and how after all this labor God
answers in a paragraph what took days. The
Holy Spirit gives us a good work out. So
gleam from my isolated thoughts what you can, then move on to the next chapter
of this book. Some of these thought
assisted me in putting this book together.
NOTES OF THIS RESEARCH
Focus on “knowledge”
the lie. With mankind just developing
knowledge; intrinsic knowledge is lost and he learns to depend on accumulated
knowledge. Every imagination of his
heart was evil. What’s the most evil
thing we could do? Answer, “think we are
God” based on our accumulated knowledge.
If you could chose
between intrinsic knowledge verses accumulated knowledge, which would you
chose?
In me, that is in my
flesh, there dwells no good thing.
Good/bad was only a tool to qualify this experience. It had to be this way to make this a true
experience.
Think with me, the
world has its idea of good. You see it
in this statement asked of Jesus by a young rich man, “Good master what must I
do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus then
replies to him, “Why do you call me good; there is none good but God.” (Remember,
Jesus’ reply was when he was in the mode of a servant, the son of man…stress
this in your writings.
All good gifts come
down from God.
They have become as us,
knowing good and evil. (grabbing the
wizard’s hat)
If you try to find a
balance in this experience using the tree of the knowledge of good and evil;
you will never find it! Why? In time they will call evil good and good
evil. Cut off from God in this
experience will never find the balance.
The true sense of right
and wrong comes from this statement, “It is wrong to go to the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, it is right to go to the tree of life. One offers death, the other only gives
life. To do good apart from the tree of
Life is no good.
Why do you do
good? One does it motivated by law, the
other by grace. The difference, one
seeks to please God by human effort, the other out of gratitude for what has
been done for him or her that they could not have done for themselves, please
God. Without faith (hearing from God) it
is impossible to please Him.
Which came first the
promise or law? We know the answer is
promise, God doing for us what we could not have done for ourselves. Then why was law given? The answer is, to bring us back to the
promise, those who had left it and tried to do what God had already done.
The intent and purpose
of the law was to expose those who had eaten of the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil and had thought they knew the difference or could articulate the
difference, when it wasn’t a matter of good or evil, right or wrong. It was the eating of what was forbidden thus
a matter of life or death.
We project our
nakedness on to God:
1. We strip God of His
righteousness and turn it into self-righteousness.
2. We strip God of His power and call it the
universe.
3. We strip God of His being a “Personified
Being” and lose ours. The impersonal,
plus time, plus chance (evolution).
4. We strip God of His goodness and flip a coin,
each doing what is right in their own eyes.
“We
know enough about everything to know nothing.”
To begin, know this as
a fact: Christ was slain before the
foundations of the world. If you do not
catch this, everything will run amuck.
Why is that? Ask yourself these
questions:
1. Why would God slay His Son before the
foundations of the world; before what we call the crucifixion?
2. Which event was more real, Christ slain
before the foundations of the world, or the time, space, material event we call
the crucifixion of Jesus? To our senses and view of reality, that we have grown
accustom to, we would say that it was the historical event 2,000 years
ago. We would be wrong!
3. When did history truly begin? Was it in “the beginning” or before “in the
beginning”?
It’s our view and
perspective of history that many times leads us astray. We do know that Satan was already fallen in
the Garden scene. Also throughout the
Bible you can read of this fall of Satan, yet…
4. What historical event in human history can we
point to, as we do with the crucifixion 2,000 years ago, and say there is the
fall of Satan?
The Biblical accounts
of this fall definitely points to a pre-historical event before in the
beginning, yet as I pointed out, we can’t point to a pacific time in human
history and say, “There in the year so-in-so it occurred.” We look around us and can say as a book once
written said, “Satan is alive and well on planet earth.” He has yet to fall. Are you sure?
Again, it is from where you view matters; your perspective of things.
You read the Bible and it appears that Satan did fall, is falling, and will
fall. NOW this is the way to see it, in
the NOW.
5. What is RIGHT? Answer, The Tree of Life.
6. What is Wrong? Answer, The tree of the knowledge of good
and evil.
7. How does one eat of these trees?
The physical tree and
its fruit isn’t the real focus. That’s
where we go wrong. Who we turn to in a
moment of crises reveals what fruit we eat.
Remember, all good gifts come down from the Father. “Lean not unto your
own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your
path.”
(TREE OF LIFE) --à
PROMISE à
LIFE Upside down tree, rooted in the
eternal.
(Tree of the knowledge
of good and evilà LAW
à Death…Tree
planted in the carnal world.
The world grafts its
ideas into this tree of the knowledge of good and evil seeking to change its
fruit. Here is what it produces:
SECULAR WORLDà
Right becomes wrong, wrong become right.
RELIGIOUS WORLDà
Self-righteousness
Matt. 3:10 “And now
also THE AX is laid unto the root of
the trees (trees meaning those who eat at it), therefore every tree
(person) which brings not forth
GOOD FRUIT is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
James 1:17 Every GOOD GIFT and every perfect gift is
from ABOVE, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness,
neither shadow of turning. Of His own
will beget He us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of FIRST
FRUIT of His Creation. (not self created, self produced fruit).
Proverbs 15:24 “The way
of LIFE is ABOVE to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.”
Isa. 5:20-21 “Woe into them that call evil good
and good evil, that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put
bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own
sight.
Isa. 45: 7 “I form the light, and create darkness; I
made peace, and create evil; I the Lord do all these things.” (He created this matrix?)
Jer. 17:9-10 “The heart
is deceitful above all things , and desperately wicked; who can know it? I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins,
even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his
doings
(Now, here is how I
have come to see this Isa. 45 text):
God speaking, “I created this experience you are in, not to
be known till it was to come to an end.
To know ahead of time would ruin it and distort it.” Evil has some knowledge of God’s original
intent or it could not have made the comment of good & evil and our
becoming gods when we would come to know this good & evil. In the hands of
Evil and the occult world this has gotten distorted.
Paul the Apostle began
this revealing of what he was told to call, “The Mystery” something there yet
hidden until a time of revealing. For
Paul, that time came. And today, that revealing
got distorted.
Now catch this, this
knowing would have come sometime AFTER an individual’s experience, a time
designated of the Father. (Gal. 4:2) An
Evil sought from the get-go to ruin the surprise party, so to speak. I personally didn’t come to know certain
things until I was over 50 years of age.
I know now what I know, and only give it out to those the Father leads
me to; things I hesitate to put into a book, one that I have mentioned. It would not be for the general public until
a time only the Father knows. The true
ministry was intended to be a One on one base.
Let’s call this tree,
of the knowledge of good and evil, GOD’S ORIGINAL INTENT of this experience;
yet not to be known by us till some point in this experience, when it would be revealed. Revealing this prematurely would have ruined
this needed experience. (Don’t let the left hand know what the right hand is
doing.. Matt. 6:3).
READ THE FOLLOWING
STORY:
Acts 13: 6-12
“Sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus, “perverting the
RIGHT WAYS of the Lord.
“And when they had gone
through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a
Jew, whose name was Barjesus; which was with the Deputy of the country, Sergius
Paulus, a prudent man; and desired to hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name
by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the Deputy from the
faith. Then Saul, (who also is called
Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, and said, “O full of
all subtlety and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all
righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the righteousness of the
Lord? And now behold, the hand of the
Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season,
and immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about
seeking some to lead him by the hand.
Then the Deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished
at the doctrine of the Lord.
Hear the words of
Merlin Cruthers:
“Our
understanding gets us into trouble when we try to figure out why and how God
brings certain circumstances into our lives.
We can never understand why and how God does something, but He wants us
to accept with our understanding the He does it. This is the basis of our praise. God wants us to understand the He loves us
and that He has a plan for us.”
“True love cast out
fear, fear has torment.”
“We need have no fear
of someone who loves us perfectly; His perfect love for us eliminates all dread
of what He might do to us. If we are
afraid, it is for fear of what He might do to us, and shows that we are not
fully convinced that He really loves us.
So you see, our love for Him comes as a result of His loving us
first.” I John 4: 18-19 (Living Bible)
Genesis 3:22 “And the
Lord God said, “Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil;
and now lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat,
and live forever;”
“They have BECOME as
one of US knowing good and evil”….what was meant by this text? How did we become as one of this “ US”…the
trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit?
I answered this in the above paragraph. “I created this experience
you are in, not to be known till it was to come to an end. To know ahead of time would ruin it and
distort it.” Evil has some knowledge of
God’s original intent or it could not have made the comment of good & evil
and our becoming gods when we would come to know this good & evil. In the
hands of Evil and the occult world this has gotten distorted.
Well, you might be
thinking after reading all these jotted down and now typed up notes, “How did
you come to the conclusions you come to in the chapters in this book and others
from all those isolated thoughts?”
That would take even
more chapters to reveal; which will come out in this book and other books I am
presently working on. The “Hat of the
Wizard” paragraph is only the tip of this iceberg yet to be seen; we must enter
into the shadowy waters below this iceberg to go on; and we will.
