Spider Bites & Healing

We moved out to a cabin, which was located on a little island.  On that island, there were spiders that were toxic.  When they bit, the venom would cause the bite area to swell.  If bit on a finger, the finger would swell to about three times the size, and the swelling would travel from one finger to another.  The swelling would stay for days.  We were getting bit on the fingers a lot, which would be painful and we would lose the use of the finger until the swelling would go down.  The bites around the eyes were the worst.  The bite area would at times swell the eye shut, so as to not see.  This became very serious.  We turned to the source of all knowledge, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not!

As we prayed for enlightenment, the idea came; How did the indiginous peoples deal with this situation?

It was a good question.  And so began our research.  We may have taken a trip to a city, to visit a library, and also researched online to find information on indiginous healing practices and herbs in our location.

We discovered reference to a plant called Green Alder, the leaves of which were used to make a poultice to draw out the poisons, and reduce swelling.  This seemed to be exactly what we needed.  We found pictures of what this bush looked like, and again, we took our discovery to the Lord, and asked Him to lead us to this plant.

We did find the plant, it seemed to grow all over the shorelines and in wet areas.  We gathered some of the leaves and crushed them, mixing them in water to make a paste.  We applied this poultice to the swollen area, but nothing happened!

We went back to the Lord in prayer, asking for guidance.  It still seemed to be the correct plant, it was just that we were using it incorrectly.  Inspiration came to chew the leaves first, that the saliva was needed to activate the healing properties.  So we chewed the leaves, spit out the paste, and applied the poultice to the swollen area, ... nothing much happened!  Perhaps it worked a little one time, but not a different time.  This was very strange.

Once again, we went back to the Lord in prayer.  Asking the Lord; What was wrong?  We were very concerned, because the children were suffering worse than the adults.  We decided to do a little more research, and found that the Green Alder bush came in both a bush that would bear flowers, and those that would not seem to flower.  Perhaps like a male gender bush, and a female gender.  This was interesting!  We gathered leaves from both genders, created the poultice, and tried them both.  The leaves from the Green Alder bush which grew the long male flowers drew out the poison in a matter of minutes.  It was so fast, you could almost watch the swelling go down.  The swelling, pain, and bite area would cure in a matter of 10-20 minutes consistently!  It was amazing!  What took days to heal, now took minutes!!!  

Once again, we went to the Lord, prayed and gave thanks to such a loving Father!!!

Core Doctrine

God loves us, and wants us to be just like Him, even better!!!

God has found out how to have Eternal Joy, and wants to share the secret with us, so we may have Eternal Joy also, even Greater Joy than what He has, than what He experiences.

All He wants is, for us to experience greater joy than what He experiences, as any loving parents want for their children.  And to do this, he has devised a plan that will get us there.

He knows that the only way to achieve this Joy is to become completely selfless, as He is! 
To never hurt others, and to always help others!

The commandments teach us how to not hurt others, nor ourselves; and,
The higher law teaches us how to help others.

You are of this value to God.

If you are this value, then all of God's children are of this value.

Everyone is of this value to God.

So, God loves us with all His heart, might, mind, and strength.
We should love Him with all our heart, might, mind, and strength.

God loves each of us as Himself,
We need to love our neighbour as ourselves.

Let us be like our Father, let us emulate Him, let us be one with Him, thereby acquiring the same Eternal Joy He has!

Gifts Of God

In the previous post, I suggested that the rewards of following false doctrine were such things as: 
'worldly blessings, miracles, money, popularity,... signs and wonders, miracles, speaking in tongues, prophecy, revelation, fame, fortune, glory, power, etc.' 
I would like to explain some of these a little further.  The miraculous gifts of God are present with God's servants, yet they are ever present with the "Fruits of the Spirit", and this is the identifying key.  We must have the fruits of the Spirit along with the gifts of various miracles.  

Paul gives an insight into the fruits of the Spirit:  
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.   
~ Galatians 5:22-23 
This means that if anyone does a miracle in the name of God, that person will also have the gifts of the Holy Spirit to give God's signature to that miracle.  Those who do not bear the fruits of the Spirit, are not of God!  

This is why there will be so many led astray by the false prophets:  
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; 
~ Revelation 13:13-14
There are many who travel the earth today, who perform miracles and yet promote the doctrine of the Beast, along with the fruits of the Beast: 
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.    
~ Galatians 5:19-21 
Their sermons preach against most heresies, but those preachers seem to emulate those worldly desires in their person.  

In contrast, the servants of God may perform a miracle, but that miracle will always be accompanied by the fruits of the Spirit of God!  

So, 'let us not be desirous of vain glory!'  Those who actually are followers of the Messiah, have crucified their selfishness and their worldly desires.  

So let us always live in the ways of the Holy Spirit, and when we are called upon to exercise the gifts of God, let us walk in the Holy Spirit, producing love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, etc.

Doctrine Of The Beast

I am going to try to explain just an outline of the three-fold doctrine of the beast, 666.  This is just an outline, and the reader can take it further and explore the doctrine deeper.  To understand this doctrine clearly, we need to understand the meaning of the Dragon, the Beast, the Horned Lamb/False Prophet, the Woman upon the Beast, etc., but, to keep this post short, I will leave those for the reader.

This doctrine began from the false doctrine surrounding the Saviour, it is the number of a man.  The number of man is 6.  This number also applied to Yeshua when he was a man upon the earth.  The beast is the world, the desires of life here upon the earth, and Yeshua broke the false doctrine that we are lost, that this life is all there is.  That we cannot reach our full potential, and enter back into the presence of the Tree of Life.  So the dragon had to change this doctrine.

The doctrine was changed.  They started to tell lies about the Saviour, that He was a demi-god while He was alive on the earth.  This lie makes everything He does out of our reach.  Which gives rise to the false belief that we must put someone between us and God, like a pope, prophet, president, etc., which breaks the first commandment, 'Have nothing between you and God.'  It is a false doctrine, that we cannot be perfect, because Yeshua told us we could be, and He showed us how.

Then they continued with that lie, that we can do nothing, and we are only His minions and His slaves, doomed to grovel at His feet for eternity, only saved because we brag on Him, inflating His ego.  This is false, we can progress and reach our full potential, and grow up to become Gods, just like our Father!  We do not have to be content to have weaknesses, thanks to Messiah, we can overcome!

They took this lie even further, that the rewards of God are worldly blessings, miracles, money, popularity, etc., etc., this way people would only seek the rewards of this world, the Image of the Beast.

Looking at this 666 doctrine, we can easily see what John, Daniel, Jeremiah, and the other prophets were talking about.  We can easily see many churches who use this 3-fold doctrine to control and scare the masses.  So we see that they applied the number of man to God, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.  They made all three into the Son.  Or made the Son into all three, hence, 666.

False Doctrine:  
Dragon - God is beyond us, born a superhero, which is why he can overcome, and why we cannot. 
Beast - Son of God forgives everyone for nothing, no repentance.   
False Prophet - God rewards us with signs and wonders, miracles, speaking in tongues, prophecy, revelation, fame, fortune, glory, power, etc.

True Doctrine:   
Father - God came to earth as 100% human, to show us that it is possible for the children of God to walk the path back into the Light.  
Son - Grace of God applies only to those who repent, and follow what He did.  We are not lost, we can repent, overcome, and progress.  
Holy Ghost - Fruits of the Spirit (the gifts of God) are; Love, joy, peace, brotherly kindness, temperance, charity, humility, diligence, etc.  

It is so difficult to express things in English, so that people will understand, instead of pick things apart, but here it is.  The folks who are looking for Hope, that Hope is found in the Son of God, in His doctrines, which are the Doctrines of the Father, and the Holy Ghost bears witness to that doctrine.  Please believe the truth; You can repent, you can overcome, you can reach your full potential of Godhood!!!   Just follow the example of the Saviour.  Walk the path He walked.  Trust His promise that as you follow His example, you will overcome and be welcomed back into the presence of the Fathers, to take up your place among them.

May God bless you all.
