The Pilgrim "Matthew"

                                 The Pilgrim  "Matthew"







Just in case you missed it yesterday, here is our Thanksgiving video from our pilgrimage to Plymouth. If this holiday does anything for you I would suggest reading the pilgrims writings for yourself as most of what we were taught in school are just a rewriting of history. These people had to stay in faith for God to bless each step they made. Several were relatively well off in England, however to sell and leave their homeland for Holland meant selling off their homes, their businesses, and their farms. The one thing that I've read that I have yet to get an original source on is that William Bradford's family wasn't supportive of his "extremist" Christian views. Around every turn in the bible is seemingly the concept of sin and sickness.  It is written that the wages of sin is death.  Even if you aren't the one sinning you can become sick as a result of others sinning against you.  At age 12, already orphaned by both his parents and grandparents, young and sickly William began searching for answers. He started pouring through the bible and received his salvation through the true Word of God.  Early on he became acquainted with the ministry of Richard Clyfton and John Smith who went on to form separatist churches.  

Now living with his Uncle, less than ideal you can be sure, at age 18 he took that first step of faith and left for Leiden Holland.  Though he had inherited the family farm from his father, he was eventually able to recover some of it as a means of provision for himself and his new bride.  Despite this sure, successful livelihood, he chose to work as a virtual slave for a company in Holland to pay the bills. Why did they all move? God told them to, as bibles were illegal in England. We preach a lot on getting alone with God and not letting outside influences pull you away from the anointing. Nowhere do you see letters or diary entries from William Bradford toward his evil uncle. 

The pilgrims, not having had the bible for very long were in Holland trying to get set free from the brainwashing from their government, and their society. England was so tyrannical that they sailed over to destroy their bible printing press, throwing them in jail. Can you imagine that? 
The pilgrims thought their livelihood in Gods new world would be fishing. However a leaky boat left them one short. They were quickly learning that you can't trust sinful people and questioned whether their boat was intentionally over loaded and had too heavy sails put on deliberately, thus the leaking. They were so close to God and had such complete faith in their deliverance that they didn't worry about it anymore. They thought it would be far better to possibly die in an unknown land with no boat or means of return but obedient to God.

At the start of the voyage one sailor started saying absolutely filthy things to them. Who knows what all perverted things were said to their women and children. He said he would probably throw half of them overboard before they got there. Well the good Lord saw fit to make him sick, and he was the first one thrown overboard. God paved the way for these people. We hear a lot about the white man referring to Indians as savages, but they were friends. I contend that if you walk through any mall or public place, the ones without Christ are in virtual stages of nudity. When you see their ways they are savage. The average Abercrombie or Holister customer looks savage. Who would pay $100 for a pair of jeans already ripped or a blouse that doesn't cover anything? No daughter of mine will be allowed out of the house dressed like that. The only one who will see them that way will be their ever loving, God given husbands.

That is why the disciples went around showing people the love of Jesus which is a love they had never known. Just like there are evil people they left in England (Bradford sure never meantioned writing his family) or their anti-Christ government, or Church of England, the Indians had their own natives they were open to being set free from. These were people who they were in constant fear of. These were Indians clearly not interested in living peacefully. One by one our Indian friends got saved as the pilgrims were as close to God as the biblical prophets.  Like Elisha, when someone was sick or prayers were needed for favorable weather for crops God answered.  They said wow, when we pray to our god nothing happens. I like your God, he saved us from sure death.  The ones who had visions of Jesus on a cross must have said, "see, I told you I knew what I was talking about!" They were as anyone humble and open are, ready willing and able to cling to any real answers they are finally given.

A king cannot own land just because he says he does. Only God can give land. So when you read about the pilgrims wanting profits it is about finally being free. They were living independently, yet as indentured servants or slaves to the crown and evil English business people. Not only did they do the honorable thing in paying off their debts, which I don't believe they had to under God, they bought the land from the Indians as well. They were lied to and cheated every step of the way, in England and still owned up and paid the Indians for the land they were using. To pay twice for land is nothing short of a class act. Do you know what? The stories you hear about Indians having their land stolen well, if you aren't open to God He will move someone else in there, it is just that simple.

At their arrival there were hundreds of Indian languages. This goes back to the tower of Babel, and God broke up the languages as to prevent sinful people from building blasphemous cities. If you look to the east every small island group it seems has a different language. As for Americans, the pilgrims paid their way. They paid for it through their blood, sweat, tears, and many deaths early on. In of Plymouth Plantation, William Bradford wrote of praying that the dutch wouldn't follow them to America when the time came. Well, they did come, and the atheists and sinful people ultimately did steal the Indians land, and founded New York City among other blasphemous places. Going out we drove well around New York City as it is extremely sinful to this day.

So when I think of savages I think as much about the greedy white atheists raping and pillaging as I do native americans taking scalps. Less than 150 years later in the late 1700s John Adams writes about how the Lord established this country for the peaceable living of farming. He said God created Massachusetts perfect for it, yet no one is farming there anymore. He was making a call then for what we are saying now. The world's system is brainwashing and it is insanity to have all our money stolen for tyrants to use for unprofitable ventures. Hmmm, I just read a Thomas Jefferson quote on that. As for Adams, he would say as I am now to say a prayer and dig into all those wonderful Thanksgiving dishes. Now realize that it is our own God given duty to provide that from our own homes, even city ones with small yards.

It was such a dream to be able to take that trip to Plymouth with such wonderful people: my God given family. Leah and Michelle have been living for this their whole lives, so I was in awe of their anointed commentary. As for jc, I can't say enough about her. Everyday such utter brilliance and eloquence just Spirit flows from her to anyone blessed enough to be in ear shot. I just need to humbly apologize for any time I was out of the anointing and said the wrong thing, or was cold in any way. She deserves far more than I am able to deliver on a daily basis. I throw out starting a sawmill periodically as means to provide for this wonderful family, and be the God fearing man that they have never had. I am one man and I can afford that. Just think of all those

pilgrims selling everything to merely get a one way ticket over to America. Later on in Plymouth at one point a carpenter and his crew of 3 or 4 sailed in. He said hey, this thing is full of extra wood if you need a boat. According to Bradford many men said I want to help, count me in! Just think about that.  All they needed was a sawmill. If they could have started one of those in Holland, allowed Jesus to provide the carpenter training, and boom, free Mayflower. They could have brought it over, set it up on the God given "Town Brook" to cut trees for their homes. These hundred however many people would have given anything for one sawmill. Yet I can afford one. It is a real humble and uplifting thing. The world would say that I cannot afford a farm or ranch in Ohio. However if he brought me here then He will provide. If you have read this far then God bless you. Oh yea, and send me a message if you know of any cheap farm acreage that could be my promised land.

Adults Only: Sperm Spermicide Who's your Baby Daddy?

Isaiah 58 Ministries                                                                               November, 2013

                                                              Theme



       November is the month of the year that we give thanks to God.  Thanksgiving.  Jesus died on the cross for us is the most important thing to give thanks for 24/7/365. Because  Jesus died for us, restoring our minds to be sound,  we can know that the most important thing, the most valuable gift we can receive from God is a Child.


         

       This blog isn't about Thanksgiving or having children.  It is about a man's sperm, his seed, what it produces and how to kill it. Follow along with us as we see how to use sperm wisely and how to use spermicide to kill bad sperm.



            I have to admit I am a woman, not a man therefore I have no personal experience with putting a sperm into another human being. God created  a man Adam, he called a man Abraham and gave him 12 sons, Jesus called twelve men to be the very foundation of heaven. Men are called by God to be leaders because men understand God in a way a woman never can

       A man is equipped, enabled by God in his spirit, in his emotions and in his body to plant sperm, seeds. I hope and pray a man takes this knowledge and adds to it "The man's" perspective.  Men are called by God to be leaders. Men and women have different responsibilities but are equal.
A man  "knows" how to put a sperm, "seed" into the womb, earth.

1Pe 3:7  In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God’s gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.


                                                               Sermon

       
God decided one day that he wanted children.  His children would be an extension of himself, they would look like him, talk like him and walk like him.  So he created the earth  and everything in it to meet the needs of his celestial children. God's children would be clothed in human bodies having spiritual, physical, and emotional needs.   God's children need God's presence, God's spirit, God's ever present love and God to provide them a with home to live in. The Garden of Eden.

                

 God did not plant his sperm into man until Jesus, the son of Mary and Joseph of Nazareth.  Jesus is the   first born son of God.  




  Adam is a son of God but he was created by God.  Jesus was conceived, carried in his mother's womb, and born from the womb.





Mark 1:1  The beginning of the gospel, (good news), about Jesus the Messiah,  the Son of God.

Jesus, himself, in personification is the seed of God, the sperm of God. Jesus is "the Gospel". It is hearing and preaching the gospel that men receive faith to believe in God and be born of God.


John 3:3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.  ”
 1 Peter 1:23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 
Romans 10: 15“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, 
Who bring glad tidings of good things!” 
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “LORD, who has believed our report?”  17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

*******You can find scriptures for everything at the bottom of this blog************


       


When I was growing up it was common knowledge that women were a lot more religious than men. Women prayed more, attended church more, volunteered more, were kinder, gentle, etc.   Why?  






 They are built spiritually, emotionally, and physically to receive sperm, seed. When hearing about God most women know that God is planting or placing his seed in them and gladly receive it. 





Men are not by nature built that way so they do not just receive God's sperm, seed. Men being by nature, dominion driven, fight off anything that would come into their lives planting sperm, seed to conceive in them.






(Men could learn a lot from women about having a intimate relationship with God.  How to conceive children and patiently carry, love, and nurture the sperm/ seed of God within them.)


Women open to receive sperm/seed also means that are open to receive sperm, seed from everyone.  We need spermicide to kill off the bad sperm trying to implant itself in us and conceive children of death. 


Matthew 13:37   “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil.


Evil men and women have implanted their sperm in us, Their seed that has caused us to become the child of the seed.  They forced their sperm into us when they raped our souls with their lies, perversions, pride, lust.

James 1:15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death....................18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of "first fruits" of all he created

I could give example after example of things we believe in America that are as dumb as the earth being flat.  Like, "How can I believe in a God I cannot see?" But we breathe every day without "seeing" the air.  We cannot see "emotions" but they are there. You can see tears, anger.  But the lack of tears and anger doesn't mean it isn't there.  Hatred, love etc.






I saw a movie this week where the enemy was invisible.   The people were vulnerable to attack at anytime because they could not see their enemies.   We cannot see the lies in our minds, we are blinded by them.  We have all heard the expression "love is blind"? When you are in love you don't see anything else.  This is what sin and sinners do to us. Sin blinds us. 



Revelations 3:17  You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18  I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.19I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

The spermicide for sin, lies, blindness?  "The Gospel"


Think just on the word: "Gospel",

 dwell on it, focus, meditate on it. Why?

The spirit of God sets us free, the truth sets us free, All the power and authority in heaven is in the word "Gospel". The Holy spirit draws us to the gospel. The Gospel is the truth.  When you say a swear word, (cuss), there are actually a multitude of other words you are expressing.  When you say the word 'gospel' you are expressing a lot more than just one word;  "Jesus died for me!", "My sins are forgiven", "Because Jesus sacrificed for me I don't have to suffer he suffered for me", "His pure spotless, sinless blood cleanses me and protects me like the Passover lamb from the spirit of death".  "The spirit of death must go back on the enemies of my soul. etc."

      All of us are either impregnating others or being impregnated.  It isn't pretty. Just look at all the mental health issues every where, the sickness, illnesses, cancers, diabetes, pain and suffering.  If we are going to impregnate others let it be God's sperm, his seed we sow.  Paul said that he determined in himself not to say anything to people except: "Jesus the Christ and him crucified." (I'll translate that for you.)    ["You know we have been waiting for God's son to come down to the earth and deliver us from pain, suffering, oppression, etc.  We have been waiting for the "Messiah".  Jesus is the Son of God, he is the Messiah and he died for us so we can be forgiven. God has opened up an entrance through the Blood of Jesus Christ so we can share with God and live in the Kingdom of His son on the earth. We can, and now we do, have heaven on earth!]

Now that I have come to know the power of God, which is; "the gospel" and "Jesus blood": I know that it protects me from the spirit of death that is in the world like the Passover lamb protected the Israelites enslaved to pharaoh, I use this knowledge every second, with every thought I have.  





                         My recovery from the abuses of this world's system have been engaged at warp speed! 


Why not?  God is the invisible force all around us, like the alien ship in Thor.  God is always there, but you cannot see him or enter God's "mother ship" (the kingdom of God on this earth) unless you are invisibly lit up with the light of Jesus shining out of you. You must become an alien, born of God, clothed, shielded, cloaked with the Gospel and the Blood of Jesus Christ which cleanses you of all "earthy human thoughts, wants and desires."  God impregnating you with the bread and wine, blood, and body of Jesus Christ, this turns you into an alien on the earth, with God's special powers and weapons!
Matthew 5:8
   8                       Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.

                                                 Conclusion

The Resurrection Body

Celestial Bodies
35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” 36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. 39 Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. 40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the celestial bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly, terrestrial, bodies is another.41 The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
Terrestrial Bodies
42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”  ; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we  bear the image of the heavenly man.
50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” 
55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?” 
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.


The Father Revealed in the Son

Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
27  “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28  “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.29  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

1 Peter 1:23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 



1 John 3:4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.

7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.
Luke 8:1 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. 12  Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

More on Love and Hatred

1 john 3:11 For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters,  if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. 15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.


James 1:15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death....................18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created

1 Corinthians 2:1 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.  2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.


The Birth of Jesus Foretold

Luke 1:26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called [fn2] the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”

38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

    John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
 
 Psalms 127:3 Children are a heritage from the LORD,
offspring a reward from him.
       4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one’s youth.
       5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their opponents in court.

Dueteronomy 7:12 If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the LORD your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your ancestors.13 He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and olive oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you. 14 You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor will any of your livestock be without young. 15 The LORDwill keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.

Hosea 9:16 
Ephraim is blighted,
their root is withered,
they yield no fruit.
Even if they bear children,
I will slay their cherished offspring.”


Matthew 13:37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40  “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41  The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42  They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43  Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.
