Praise the Lord podcast. Yes, Praise the Lord. We're not
-
in a funeral, so thank God man. That's right, He's worthy.
-
This is Eternal Fire Ministries. Yes, a Holy Spirit ministry unextinguished.
-
Tonight we are into our Bible study the Book of
-
Genesis chapter one. We'll be finishing up. We're not doing
-
the whole chapter. We're doing.
-
Pieces of Genesis that are quite important.
-
I will go back later on in the year into
-
a more thorough study.
-
So this is.
-
Genesis chapter one. This would be part two. Amen. My
-
name is Jonathan Hardwick. The one and only my telephone
-
number is if you need to reach me of the
-
ministries eight six zero five zero zero eight three seven,
-
and my direct ministry emails Eternal Fire Ministries at gmail
-
dot com. I want to think everyone that is here tonight.
-
We have Lados Love Ministries and we have the Hearts
-
of Flame Ministries. Amen. Well, it seems like you have
-
the same old two people. That's all I need anyway.
-
One can chase one thousand, two, can chase ten thousand
-
and three, can chase one hundred thousand. They're just sitting
-
in until the rest of the house gets built up.
-
We got many pillars in our house, and they are
-
in different places, building upon themselves, and Lord willing doing
-
the Kingdom of God. I am so gracious to stand
-
here in the moment that I'm at.
-
I consider it.
-
A training opportunity. I'll say this and then I'll get started.
-
You know, nothing prepared me to be here except for
-
my testimony. I lived that testimony every single day, and
-
I'm grateful that God gave me the opportunity to stand
-
here and to minister and to teach His truth. Thank you, Lord, unindulterated,
-
not contaminated God, not contaminated with any bit of religion,
-
but spiritual revelation and understanding of His word. Now, listen,
-
I'm just gonna put out a clause. Now, if you
-
find anything that I say offensive or you don't agree,
-
I welcome you to call me.
-
You're not gonna get my voicemail. You're gonna get me.
-
Now. If you get my voicemail, that means I'm on another.
-
Phone, call.
-
Or text me, or comment on YouTube or friends and
-
say I don't understand what you meant. Listen, some people
-
consider me their pastor. Now I don't get it twisted.
-
Jesus is my pastor. So I'm not trying to micromanage
-
anybody's life. Lord, I'm just trying to show the agape
-
of Jesus Christ and to be a shepherd over people
-
if they consider that that I am. And so I
-
know a lot of you have pastors and you don't
-
have their phone number, or they don't even talk to
-
you at all. They just give you the word and
-
leave you out there to figure it out. I'm not
-
that person. I believe in discipleship. I believe in building
-
the body and making sure that people understand the word
-
because eventually you have to live it. Yes, I have
-
to live what I say now. I know there were
-
times when I don't totally live up to the standards
-
of other people and how they feel I should be
-
towards them. But I think then that God has mercy
-
and grace for me that I can also extend to
-
those that truly don't deserve it, because we're gonna really
-
be honest, none of us.
-
You know.
-
I was sitting in the car before I came here,
-
and I said, Lord, it's such a shame where people
-
are in the Kingdom, or i'll say in Christianity, that
-
they can't fellowship one to another that's in our vision statement, right,
-
you know, to fellowship one to another. You know, you
-
call people, you check on them. They don't want to
-
call you, they don't want to call you back. You
-
text them. They think you got an agenda. I said,
-
what is wrong with these Christians? What's wrong with them?
-
We've invited people to.
-
Come here in fellowship, and honey, let me tell you something.
-
We don't even get a call back. We've wanted to
-
have Bible study at their house. They never got back
-
to us. I said, Lord, you know what. You know,
-
people complain about you being the lone ranger. But I
-
mean when Jesus tried to come in and fellowship, they
-
didn't want Jesus. Matter of fact, they kicked him out
-
the synagogue. I guess the truth must have really got
-
too hot. But I want people to be aware that
-
when you come here, or you listen to our podcast,
-
or you call me on telephone or email me, you're
-
not gonna.
-
Get some person that's aggressive.
-
You're gonna get somebody that's real, that understands your position
-
or your question, and we're gonna fellowship on that discussion.
-
We're gonna have discourse. We're gonna have communication. I know
-
we'll have respect, but I don't want you to be
-
afraid of me as a person. You know, people see
-
men of God and they think, oh, I used to
-
be afraid of them. I mean I had reverence, but
-
I had fear as well, and I felt like I
-
could not approach them. Honey. I'm not that kind of
-
plastic doll.
-
Amen. Amen.
-
I don't have armor bearers, Honey. The only one bear
-
in my armor is Jesus and myself. Rightmen, we don't
-
do that sort of thing here, So you ain't got
-
to worry about it, honey. And you come here, you
-
can scream and shout. One of my sisters is supposed
-
to be coming next week. She said, can I bring
-
a tambourine? I said, you sure can. I said, we
-
got our own, honey, shot, I said. She said, I
-
got a microphone I haven't used in a honey, bring it.
-
Bring all of you. We know what to do, because
-
you know, religion can't do nothing with you. But I
-
want people to feel the agape when they come in here.
-
I want them to feel the presence of God when
-
they were here. I don't care about the room.
-
I don't care.
-
About who's not in the room and who is in
-
the room. What I care about is people being discipled
-
for Jesus Christ and going out there and proclaiming his name.
-
Now I know what God told me.
-
Well, you're gonna get to the teaching you. I'm gonna
-
get to this teaching. Just give me a second. Listen.
-
I know that I'm called to ministry.
-
Nobody has to validate that to me.
-
Even though people in their ugly mouths have ran for
-
the past couple of months, don't think I haven't heard. Now, Listen,
-
I could be very carnal and I could respond, but
-
I choose not to because everybody is in a state
-
of construction, everybody, and if I mark that person or
-
persons in their place of construction, I will never be
-
able to partake in them in their completion.
-
Amen.
-
So I'm grateful that I'm up here. It's an opportunity.
-
I could be all over the country, I could be
-
around the world.
-
I could be anywhere at this time.
-
But guess what, my feet are planted where God wants
-
me to be. And sometimes I'm gonna say this to people,
-
sometimes to the voice of the little dull, you have
-
hard time hearing because I'm kind of in that place
-
right now, I hear the Lord. But sometimes when there's
-
so much stuff happening, when your flush is trying to
-
figure this thing out, sometimes the.
-
Reception gets a little dumb.
-
But see that's when what's on the inside has to
-
come out and remind you. Oh, I don't want to
-
get starting. Okay, let's get to the teaching. I just
-
wanted to say that to encourage somebody. So we're in
-
a book of Genesis, chapters one to two, part two,
-
and we're going to start back at Genesis one one. Now,
-
when we left off, we established from the last teaching
-
that the beginning took place in the genes of Jesus.
-
As he is the beginning and the ending. As it
-
says in Revelation, I believe one seventeen. He is the
-
first and the last. He's Alpha and Omega, the beginning
-
and the ending. He is the eternal aspect of God,
-
his eternal word. Oh come on, now, you don't get hot.
-
Nowt out, because we won't get no further. Before Jesus came,
-
the name pertained to the flesh name given. Now listen,
-
before Jesus got here, we're gonna take off the name Jesus,
-
and we're gonna get a naked without that name. You
-
ain't gonna talk about my God. His name is above
-
all names.
-
But Honey, before your name was named Cheryl, you were
-
something else. I hate to tell you.
-
Your mama, your mama, Pearl made you names named you.
-
She was named after after. I won't tell where her
-
middle name is. I don't want to bear. I think
-
that's a nice thing like to talk about it. So
-
she was named after her aunt named her this. You
-
know that wasn't anything spiritual. You have to be identified
-
when you're in this planet or this realm. Otherwise they
-
call you John Doe. You don't exist. Unfortunately, that's how
-
this realm operates. You have to identify with something, and
-
you have to have a purpose of your meaning of
-
your identity.
-
In Matthew one one, it says he was a son.
-
You're going to give birth to a son, Comma, And
-
the name of this son that was given to identify himself.
-
And we know that name comes with power, and it
-
comes with might, and it comes with authority that at
-
the name of Jesus, every niece shall bow, every tongue
-
will confess.
-
Listen.
-
I hate to tell you this, honey. You can have
-
a name and have no power. Right, That's true.
-
Yep.
-
So the name don't mean nothing. It's the power or
-
the identity that goes behind the name. That's why Jesus said, listen,
-
you don't gotta believe me. You ain't got to believe nothing.
-
I'm saying, you ain't got to believe in my name.
-
But let me tell you something. You don't have to
-
believe me, but you can believe the works that I
-
have done, according to my Father, under the weight of
-
this name. So creation deals with the dialect between the
-
word and God as.
-
It relates back to the.
-
As it relates to I'm sorry because might know it
-
says Hill, But that ain't it.
-
As it relates back to.
-
The illumination, or we said, illumination is the light that
-
God said to let there be. This is all taking
-
place in the mind of God. Created doesn't mean that
-
the material has come together and we're gonna go into
-
that definition. Doesn't mean anything has been formed yet. When
-
we talk about created thinking or creative writing. I took
-
in creative writing. I actually got a plus in it.
-
I'm not surprised. I probably get that talent from my father.
-
Who was a journal journalists. He liked the journal and.
-
Write poems and all kinds of My brother got that gift,
-
and my sister got that gift. She's a good poet.
-
And so creativity comes from things that are not formulated
-
or structured, just open thought. When I had them to
-
close their eyes last week and I said, what do
-
you see? They said, we see nothing. That's creative thought.
-
It just comes out of thin air. Amen. And so
-
this is what's going on in God. And sometimes creativity
-
can be messy. You never have organized creative thoughts. You're
-
putting things together to formulate something. Oh, that should help
-
somebody about beginning. Amen. First, John Ford says light was
-
the light of man. I'll sit in that life was
-
the light of man. Life was the illumination of man.
-
So life could only have identity. Life in its name,
-
doesn't have identity until something of life is movable.
-
Okay. It's just like light illumination.
-
Light cannot become existent unless it is illuminated through something
-
like For instance, when we see the lightning come, lightning strike,
-
that is illumination of light. It's taking on a physical
-
aspect and it is showing us in front of us
-
when we look at these light, these these, these these
-
are we got our little lights here in this room,
-
and we have the bulb on the inside. This is
-
showing you the illumination of light. But if I take
-
this away, if I take all the light out of
-
this world, how can I illuminate light? It doesn't exist.
-
And so this is what we're dealing with. In the beginning,
-
it says that.
-
The light refers to illumination, that man was created to
-
express his light, and that gives us synapsis of what
-
we talked about a little bit.
-
Now we're gonna go back to Genesis one one. You're ready,
-
I'm the one that's not ready. I'm the one that's
-
never ready. Let's see if would be kind to me.
-
Here we go.
-
Now listen, I just want to read you this disclosure.
-
You're gonna hear a lot of things you ain't never
-
heard before.
-
You're gonna hear a lot.
-
Of things that are probably gonna make you disagree with
-
what I'm saying. And I'm gonna give you a mode
-
of confidence. Turn the channel if you don't agree with
-
what's being said.
-
There are two things.
-
One study to show yourself approved. Go back in pray,
-
ask God what you've heard, and go back in and
-
he'll study it. Now, listen, God ain't gonna reveal everything
-
to me because.
-
We'll be here all night.
-
But He may reveal to you something a little bit
-
deeper that you want to call me and we want
-
to have a little bit of discourse about it because
-
I like to hear what God told you about it.
-
See, that's obmediacy. I'm not afraid of that.
-
I'm not some big booger knows person that knows everything.
-
And you know, I'm working on a doctorate's degree. I
-
just want to put that out there. If doctor's degree
-
has nothing to do with you know, the teaching or
-
anything spiritual, but it's something of advancement that i'd like to,
-
you know, use for the ministry. But just because I
-
have a bunch of degrees don't mean I know everything.
-
I'm quite limited. Half of the stuff that He showed
-
me about this, I don't think a man's degree would.
-
Man.
-
The Bible says he counted everything. Everything that man knew
-
is dumb. It didn't serve any purpose. It only served
-
for a temporary position that man would have to use
-
that knowledge for a particular thing. But otherwise after that,
-
I mean, what is the point of learning temporal knowledge
-
when we serve an eternal God?
-
Yes, okay, all right, I.
-
Know, Sunny, you upset. Now, I know you're mad about it.
-
Now you get over it. Genesis chapter one, Verse one.
-
As I said before, you have to read things as
-
though they are Okay, I just want to say this.
-
We are not talking about the globe as of the X.
-
We are in the creative process. So we are in
-
the mind of God. We are far beyond the globe
-
that doesn't come till later, and they work. Both of
-
those things are happening simultaneously together.
-
Okay. So it says in verse.
-
One in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
-
Now I find it strange that there's nothing plural here.
-
Now I'm going to go into the second verse, and
-
I'm going to really make you think, because I know
-
a lot of you when you're in church and they're
-
going one hundred miles a minute, they don't really sit
-
there and read it. And then your mind starts to
-
think about this thing of course, where commas and periods
-
are and semicolons that don't think because they didn't read
-
that that that doesn't affect the meaning, but it does.
-
Because you know.
-
How we are we want to put our own illustration
-
in there and think that he's talking.
-
Listen, if God were.
-
Talking about the globe, he would have sat in the
-
beginning God, but that doesn't happen into the second chapter.
-
And of course, you know in a book we see
-
things as chapters, but we know spiritually, things in creation
-
take time.
-
There's processes.
-
Okay, we're seeing it in pages, but we have to think.
-
About process in seasons that take place.
-
Even in the planet that we live in. You know,
-
winter doesn't come in. You know, the next time that
-
we go out the door, winter doesn't come. It doesn't
-
come like that. There are seasons that come before winter.
-
So there's a process. And this is the process. We're
-
seeing the step by step process of how life began.
-
But again, like I said, life has a genesis.
-
It comes through the creative power and the creative thought
-
of God his mind. So let me read the first
-
verson and go into two. In the beginning sounds like
-
I'm going a lot times. In the beginning, God created
-
the heaven and the earth, and the earth was without
-
form and void, and darkness was upon the face of
-
the deep, and the spirit of God moved upon the
-
face of the waters. Now I want to make note
-
to something here. Now, if you notice, it doesn't say
-
the heavens and the earth where we're out form. It
-
only says the earth is without form and void, because
-
at this time we're not talking about the globe here.
-
God created the heaven and the earth. But this happened
-
in the beginning. It was created in the beginning. It
-
was created or it happened in the genes of Jesus,
-
which is the representation of his word. Now we're gonna
-
kind of get a little perspective here. He did not
-
create the physical heavens and the sphere, or what is
-
considered heaven as the firmament. But these represented two different
-
realms of thought, Heaven pertaining to the celestial realm, and
-
Earth pertaining to the terrestrial realm of thinking. As both
-
were created spontaneously, God had to think of a place
-
in the globe, or he had to think of a
-
place that would reflect tangibly what represented the realm of
-
the spirit, okay, and what would represent the realm of
-
his thoughts. This is why the earth is created. See
-
your faith, like Paul said, I hate to go to
-
the right, but I'm gonna have to. If Christ has
-
not been risen, your preaching is in vain. Now what
-
does he mean by that? If Christ's number one has
-
not been risen. It talks about the teaching of the
-
resurrection of Jesus, which is your belief. But remember when
-
Jesus died on the cross, he resurrected. Now, I know
-
you're gonna say, yeah, he went to the gates, he
-
went to rama hell, he beat up the devil, took
-
the keys of hell deaf in the grave, and then
-
he rose victoriously. But where did Jesus rise to. I
-
can tell you where he rose. He went, He rose
-
into heaven. But here's the problem I'm gonna tell I'm
-
gonna tell you where he rose. At that time, Jesus
-
took on a new body. As a matter of fact,
-
he rose and a lot of people.
-
He took out a lot of bodies. And so now.
-
The manifestation of Jesus is now taking up a different body,
-
a collective body of people. Now, let me not throw you,
-
but get you back. So Heaven pertaining to the celestionon
-
and Earth pertaining to the terrestrial realm of thinking. As
-
both were created spontaneously, God had to think of a
-
place that would reflect tangibly what represented the realm of
-
the spirit, of course, what would represent the realm of
-
his mind?
-
And so.
-
In Genesis one one in the beginning, or in Jesus,
-
God created heaven and Earth. Oh, I know it's gonna
-
get tight, but I understood it. He was creating, out
-
of his own thoughts, a representative of who would carry
-
both the realms of heaven and earth, demonstrating them in
-
bodily form. Because the Bible says that Jesus is the
-
Word made flesh. But see, Jesus comes from God's word,
-
his eternal word. But see that eternal word cannot be
-
manifested untill it takes up a body or a substance
-
of material to illuminate that it comes from creative power.
-
Now I'm to see it.
-
Are we just saying yes, yes, Gad, Glad share or.
-
So, so he literally manifest the things of the spirit
-
in the terrestrial correct, That's what I'm saying. Yes, Okay,
-
he used.
-
A representative.
-
Now we're gonna go into some stuff with that too,
-
because it's gonna make sense to you as I read it.
-
But God wanted a representation, a demonstration of a of
-
a i'll say, a person who would identify with both
-
of realms.
-
Yes, yes, I see, yes.
-
That would be lodged inside of this person, even though
-
there's a physical demonstration. Now, I'm going to create the
-
place where this representative of both of my realms of
-
thinking can dwell and illuminate to a people that I am.
-
God.
-
Isn't that powerful?
-
Oh?
-
Man? We sinking, Man, we're sinking.
-
We sinking.
-
In the beginning, God created heaven and Earth. He was creating,
-
out of his own thoughts, a representative who could carry
-
both the realm of Heaven and Earth, demonstrating this in
-
bodily form.
-
Listen, let me just help you.
-
Jesus was part spirit, part flesh.
-
Sorry, I mean he was. He really was.
-
He was the representation of the thought processes of God,
-
both heavenly and spiritually, lots in a body of flesh.
-
God creating a globe or a or the or i'll say,
-
the cosmos, the earth realm in which this representative of
-
his word could illuminate itself, in a realm that allows
-
you to see that there is, say, Heaven.
-
And that there is in earth.
-
Yes, Lord, that there are two realms of thoughts. But
-
guess what, Both of those realms.
-
Of thoughts are perfected. Yes, yes, because they come.
-
Out of the creative mind of God. Hebrews eleven three.
-
I'll use as a reference, so we'll go there. So
-
you understand.
-
They're flipping, y'all. They're flipping mmm, because the.
-
Lord, I ain't never heard nothing like this, nor have I.
-
I just studied another week ago, and I said, God,
-
this makes perfect sense that you would put heaven in
-
earth in a person. But then you formulate a place
-
where things that are unseen by the Spirit can manifest
-
in a natural globe to testify of Him creating heaven
-
and earth. See, they think heaven and earth is the firmament. Well,
-
the firmament is the testimony that there is a spirit realm.
-
It is the physical demonstration that there is a spirit realm.
-
It says things that come from the unseen realm, everything
-
that is material, everything that is substance, comes from the spirit.
-
It comes from creative thought Hebrews eleven, verse three. Through faith,
-
we understand.
-
That the worlds were framed by the word of God,
-
so that things which are seen were not made up
-
things which do appear.
-
What's it be?
-
What it's saying, listen, Faith is an attribute of creative power.
-
It's an attribute of the spirit, perfect word, perfect thought.
-
But that perfect thought cannot be manifested until a material
-
substance performs what is being said through that creative spoken word.
-
In other words, words, Jesus said he learned suffering, or
-
he learned obedience by the things he suffered. He didn't
-
learn obedience until he physically went through some things to
-
learn about obedience. So what it's saying here is I
-
want you to understand that through the spirit, we understand
-
that the worlds were framed, not made. Because frame speaks
-
to the structure by the word of God. That same
-
faith that you have believe in emanated from the word
-
of God, from the realm of the celestial or the
-
realm of the spirit in which God resides. That perfect
-
word of creative power came from the world of God,
-
which therefore stirred up our faith.
-
The attribute that says, I believe in that word.
-
And so it says that the things which were which
-
are seen were not made of the things which do appear,
-
meaning that the things that you see here didn't just
-
exist here. No, they emanated from the realm of faith,
-
from the realm of creative power, from the realm from
-
the word of God. They didn't just show up here.
-
They have a beginning, they have a genesis. All right,
-
share whatch you God?
-
It's a crazy it's a crazy statement. Just the thought
-
that I was thinking, yess, when I.
-
Was studying that when God spoke his word and things
-
came into existence, the power and there it probably has.
-
Didn't he have faith in his words?
-
Oh that's a good question.
-
Oh we got some scholars up in here.
-
Boy.
-
Didn't he have to have faith to believe that his
-
word will be manifested?
-
Of course he did, which we're going to go into
-
because when we start talking about light and illumination, God said,
-
let there, he had.
-
To believe that.
-
Okay, you don't.
-
Oh we know, we got some scholars up in here. Boy,
-
That's what I'm talking about. So the world was framed,
-
meaning perfectly joined together through God's word.
-
But God's word manifests.
-
That's why I said, your faith is so important because
-
your faith is the demonstration of God's word. God's word
-
cannot be manifested until you walk in faith honey.
-
See, God's word comes back void when you don't walk
-
in faith.
-
Honey, That's what I'm talking about. So when God speaks
-
a word, that word of creative Timothy or creative word
-
of power cannot be demonstrated until you walk it out.
-
You are the faith tabernac. Oh God, don't get me said.
-
You are the structure of faith that God desires to
-
emunate or emulate his word tru Because, like I said,
-
with illumination, look at the light here. This is the
-
illumination that light exists. That's why the world don't believe
-
half the stuff Christians are talking about.
-
Because they don't live what they say. Living it means
-
it becomes a testament.
-
It means that it is a testament, meaning that it's
-
evidence that God is real. Oh yeah, I missed, Yes, yes, yes,
-
let's go to Colossians one sixteen.
-
Mm.
-
We're gonna talk about Jesus for a minute. Colossians one sixteen. Well,
-
we're gonna go back a little bit to verse nine
-
because I want to put some context in there so
-
we know where we're going. So first Colossians nine, for
-
this cause we also, since the day we heard it,
-
do not cease to pray for you, and to desire
-
that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His
-
will and all wisdom spiritual understanding, that ye might walk
-
worthy of the Lord, onto all pleasing, being.
-
Fruitful in every good.
-
Work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with
-
all his might according to his glorious power, onto all
-
patience and long suffering and joyfulness. Giving thanks unto the
-
Father which hath made us meet, to be partakers of
-
the inheritance of the saints in light, interesting, who have
-
delivered us from the power of darkness, and have translated
-
us into the kingdom of His dear son.
-
Oh, did not confirm something in whom we.
-
Have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness.
-
Of sins, Who is the image of the invisible God,
-
the first born of every creature.
-
For by Him all things were.
-
Created that are in heaven, that are in earth visible invisible.
-
Why says.
-
Whether they be thrones or dominions, or principalities or powers,
-
all things were created by Him and for him, And
-
He is above all things, and by him all things consist.
-
This is the creative power of the mind of God.
-
All of his collective thoughts emanate from the place of creativity,
-
from the realm of the unseen. Even the powers and principalities,
-
the dominions.
-
He had to put all those thoughts in place.
-
How did he put all of those thoughts in place?
-
He had to battle with them in.
-
His own uncreative thought process.
-
Oh y'all gonna lie no sing here in a line
-
of me. He had to identify what dominions and principalities are,
-
what powers are.
-
Because he had to see this thing before it could be.
-
Manifested, bluetooth disconnected, lost power.
-
He had to experience this in his own creative mind.
-
Amen. Man, it says all things were created by him
-
and for him. See, it all started in his head.
-
Maybe God had to go crazy first. Oh, you ain't
-
gonna talk about my God like that. My God is perfect. Yes,
-
he's perfectly crazy because in creativity everything is not in aura.
-
I'm sorry, but it isn't. So. Were you saying that
-
God wasn't in order? No, his thoughts weren't in order.
-
That's what Jesus was for. Jesus had to get his
-
creative thoughts in order. He had to come in line
-
and bring that perfect word of faith, that perfect word
-
of created creativity to him. He had to organize God's thoughts.
-
It didn't say that God wasn't perfect.
-
God is perfect.
-
But I'm sorry, but you know, when you start craft
-
in a house, you gotta try to figure this thing out.
-
Amen.
-
Amen, Amen.
-
God was talking to himself. Y'all thought God was crazy
-
like some of y'all you start. He said, I ain't
-
going down to Virginia and do what And I'm supposed
-
to How am I supposed to do that?
-
And the thought says, take out all the money out
-
of your bank account? You see how quick created tivioty.
-
That was.
-
That's Jesus m and that's what was going on with God.
-
And we're gonna go back to this.
-
Jesus is the image of the imdies of God, image likeliness.
-
That is literally in Jesus. God created the heaven and
-
the earth. God created the heaven and.
-
Earth through the expression of Jesus, one that carried both aspects,
-
as I said before, of life through his word. He
-
was the spoken word when he came into the earth realm.
-
Now we're gonna get into the definition of created. Oh,
-
it's gonna get it's gonna get tied up in here. Boy,
-
God created in the Hebrew means ball raw qualified to
-
cut down wood a selective process, chows cut down.
-
Now, we're gonna get into who's gonna get who's gonna
-
be good? Now?
-
In Jesus, he chose to expect or to express both
-
aspects of thought. He selected him to be the ultimate
-
example of his illumination.
-
He was first, He was the first created thought.
-
He is the one of God's selective thoughts.
-
Oh, that should have.
-
Got you right there. Let me explain this to you.
-
Let me give you understanding. I'm gonna say a strong statement.
-
I think a lot of people they're really I know
-
the listeners will really go up a lot higher. Since
-
we've started this three years ago. God could have chosen
-
anybody on the face of the planet to be his representation.
-
Anybody but out of the thought process of where we
-
emanated from. So you said, God's thoughts, Uh yeah, mm hmmm, Yes,
-
he created.
-
Doesn't he know that?
-
Every the Bible says he even knows the hairs that
-
are on your head. He knows the number of hairs
-
that are on your head. That he said in the beginning,
-
before before you entered into your mother's womb, I knew you.
-
I predestinated you before the fact. What do you think
-
predestinated means? It means that we were with him in
-
the beginning. Something coming on, Hallelujah.
-
We were with him in the beginning.
-
Amen, I don't know where you were.
-
I was with my father.
-
It says a selective process. It means a thought that
-
he selected. He selected that Jesus would be the representation
-
of his thought process. God had many thoughts swimming in
-
his mind. Many people were his thoughts. I could use shit, you.
-
Know, I don't want to.
-
No, I may not use that.
-
I'll use her later on.
-
You know that April girl. You know, I gotta maybe
-
she'd go maybe, you know, sometime in a couple of
-
centuries when she comes along. But I gotta find somebody,
-
you know what. I'll pick him. I'll choose him. That's
-
why the Bible says many our call, few are chosen. Well,
-
what does that mean?
-
Listen? I can call you to be a part of
-
the team, but that doesn't mean that I'm ready to
-
use you right now. But you still hold the calling.
-
You are still conducting yourself through the process of coming
-
into the place where you will be identified or given
-
a purpose.
-
What does that mean? There are some seasons.
-
Where some of us aren't doing anything, but then there
-
are some seasons where God is chosen you to do
-
a particular thing.
-
Yes, yes, but see we're still all called yes, but
-
not everybody's chosen to do a specific task, right.
-
M But does that mean that God loves me? He does,
-
but He has to prepare us to be able to
-
take on a certain particular assignment. God.
-
One thing I know about God, God is not foolish.
-
God will train you and equip you before he sends
-
you out.
-
That's the truth.
-
And even when he sends you out and you seem
-
like you're not equipped, let me tell you something.
-
Sometimes he sent me out and I thought I was
-
unequipped and found out.
-
I was equipped. My process helped me become equipped. That's
-
why some of you, you know, I.
-
Say it, she's some of you are trying to run
-
from the process.
-
You don't want to deal with a certain thing in
-
your process, and you think by going around it that
-
you escaped it.
-
But I got news for some of you.
-
Listen on podcasts.
-
Yes, Lord, let's speak Father.
-
Refinement doesn't look at the surface.
-
Yeah, refinement just looks at the material and how it
-
can rub it until it's smooth, so you don't escape anything, you.
-
Know that will you know? And we would play the
-
video you know, me and.
-
My brother, he said, you know, we played a lot
-
of video games, and we thought we were slick. I know,
-
like some of y'all think, you know, I know, I'm
-
going through it right now. I asked God this of
-
me over thirty years ago, being foolish, I said, God,
-
I want to know what patience is like. He said, oh,
-
you want to know patients, Honah, don't worry. I'll show
-
you what patience is. You want lung suffering, I'll give
-
it to you. And now I see that I made
-
a terrible Yeah, but we thought.
-
We were slick.
-
My brother said, hey, I found the cheat code of
-
how to get to the next level. And see, some
-
of you don't realize religion has cheated some of y'all.
-
Yes, sir, see, I'm right where I'm at. I'm supposed
-
to be. You know, sometimes I question where I'm at.
-
But God said, don't despise the damn small beginnings. Your
-
validation don't come from the pastor your validation don't come
-
from the prophet. Your validation don't come from the minister.
-
It comes from these shepherds.
-
Thank you God, Thank you Lord Jesus.
-
See, I ain't worried about it. I ain't worried about
-
the prophecy.
-
Listen. I sat under a pastor and guess what.
-
I learned.
-
I tutored. I heard the word and guess what Now.
-
I have to apply it.
-
You can't just be a hero of the word. You
-
have to be a doer. And even in doing, you
-
still have to.
-
Apply it to your own life before you can give
-
it to somebody else.
-
But we thought we were slipt. I found a way
-
to cheat to go to the next level.
-
Let me tell you something. People think that just because
-
you got it fast means it will last. But I
-
guarantee you persistence pays off. I'll take it from you
-
because my grandmother used to say something good things come
-
to those who wait, because waiting gives you wisdom. Oh God,
-
I know Valentine's Days on Saturday, and I was trying
-
to go back and forth into whether or not I
-
should do a sermon on Saturday, and one of the
-
titles that came to was fatal Attraction. And then I said, well, Lord,
-
I don't want to take somebody's movie, so he gave
-
me something else.
-
But anyway, we thought we were.
-
Slick, and we said, my brother said, I found a
-
way to cheat to the next level, and so we
-
thought we were slicking. We would use the code and
-
cheat and go around the process. But watch this, see, y'all.
-
I know somebody better be listening to me, and I
-
know you on podcasts and you listen, and I know
-
people in this room, y'all need to listen very carefully. See,
-
the thing that you want to avoid is the very
-
thing that's gonna get you across to the next level. Yes,
-
god see, because anybody that's got sense knows about schooling
-
that when you're in the fifth grade, they're preparing you
-
not only for the fifth grade, but also to challenge
-
you for the next level. And so we thought we
-
were slicking. So yeah, you know, we gotta Yeah, we
-
got all the codes of the ammunition, and we got
-
the codes of everything.
-
But when it came time to deal with the boss,
-
we lost. But why did you lose? Because you underestimated.
-
What you were fighting, Because you thought because you had
-
all the supply and because you had all now we
-
got a total life line. Now we got a cheat
-
code for living eternally through a video game, but the
-
enemy still took you out because you underestimated the power
-
of what your enemy holds, because you didn't learn the
-
strategies of kind of Oh, I don't even know how
-
I got here, learning the strategies of how every enemy fights,
-
because every enemy leads to a legion. An allegion learned
-
leads to a principality. They're all training you on how
-
to fight the principality because guess what, you're learning every
-
facet of every section of that principality and how to
-
fight it on different angles onside. Okay, to say, when
-
I'm teaching teaching something else, Okay, let me get that this.
-
To go that side.
-
Rah. You know the when you see the yield sign
-
and it's say go right, or that that sign that
-
say construction work, the laying flows. We gotta have her
-
outroot you around.
-
Amen. Amen.
-
So God chose Jesus out of the selective process of
-
his thinking his thoughts. In Jesus, he chose express both
-
aspects of thought. He selected him to be the ultimate
-
example of his illumination.
-
He was the.
-
First created thought because he's the first fruit.
-
He is one of God's selective thoughts. So are you?
-
I wonder how he thought you up? What purpose did
-
he give you?
-
Do you not believe that your own thoughts speak to
-
you and tell you to do things?
-
I'm sorry?
-
Do you not believe that your own thoughts speak to
-
you and tell you things to do and not to do?
-
You can choose a thought.
-
Oh, come on, you know how your thought comes and says,
-
eat up all that cake? You can choose that thought.
-
That's what was going on in God. There were so
-
many words happening at once. Okay, Genesis one two. Now
-
we're still dealing with the word creates. Genesis one two
-
says I get there, and the earth was without form
-
and void and darkness. Now that should tell you right
-
there that we're not talking about the globe. It's without
-
form because form is now material, so we're taking all
-
that away. And darkness was upon the face of the deep.
-
Now we're still dealing with the word create. When he
-
says the earth is without form, Now notice it again.
-
It doesn't say that heavens are not without form, but
-
only the earth, Because as I already said, we are
-
dealing with the creative realnds of God's own thinking. Now
-
he is thinking about what he can create to express
-
his creative thinking. So when you closed your eyes, you
-
saw nothing but darkness.
-
That's what's going on here.
-
God for a moment is in a realm of darkness.
-
Oh y'all, don't I told you now? Listen. If you
-
don't like it, you can turn the channel. Told you.
-
Church ain't gonna tell you this.
-
God himself wasn't a place of darkness, and the earth
-
was without form and void.
-
Listen, listen to me.
-
He's not talking about the globe. He is talking about
-
God's creative mind. It is void and without form. Because
-
when you're a void and without form, that is a
-
type of structureless thought, meaning that the thought process without
-
structure becomes chaotic.
-
Not to say God is chaotic. His thoughts are key, Kate,
-
are chaos based upon.
-
Creativity, formulating the thoughts together, selecting the right run.
-
To put in place, to step it. Mm mm hmm.
-
What earth is he talking about?
-
It says to lie, waste, desolate, a worthless thing. Confusion.
-
Void means to be empty. It was an empty thought.
-
I'm not I want you to separate God from his thoughts.
-
We serve a perfected God, but during the beginning we're
-
dealing with his thoughts. His thoughts only were in a
-
place I know a lot of you ain't gonna receive it.
-
I'm not going to receive it because God knew what
-
he was doing.
-
If well, if God knew what he was.
-
Doing, the earth wouldn't be void, darkness wouldn't be on
-
the face of the deep, and the spirit of God
-
wouldn't have to move on the face of the waters.
-
He says darkness was upon the face of the deep.
-
It means it was a pawn and darkness meaning wicked, death, destruction,
-
and ignorance. With holding lights, withholding illumination listen, transitivity and
-
transitively to darkness refers to the action of a subject
-
causing an object, a place, a person, or thing to
-
become dark, gloomy, obscured, direct force, reducing light, or reducing illumination.
-
I cannot see or make out what this thought is.
-
In this sense, it would be a case of their
-
being a lack of illumination.
-
But this is happening in God's mind because at this
-
moment he is.
-
Entertaining ideas that are in need of being illuminated.
-
Big difference.
-
I'm not saying God was dark, even though there are
-
dark parts of God's personality that work perfectedly in his plan.
-
But you've got to get into the mind of a
-
creative person. God still has to sort out these thoughts
-
that he's having, And there was a place in God
-
where he was He lacked under not lacked understanding, but
-
he lacked where he needed to place it. It didn't
-
mean he was imperfect. It just means I'm organizing my
-
thoughts and the spirit of God moved upon the face
-
darkness withholding light or lack of illumination in the face.
-
It means the part that turns it even includes the neck.
-
Now listen, I'm gonna break all this down.
-
Of the deep.
-
An abyss, a surging mass of water, subterranean water supply
-
whom to agitate great to make an uproar, make a noise.
-
It is in the mind. This is happening in the mind. Well,
-
what about the abyss. Think about the abyss. It set
-
a surging mass of water to make uproar, to make
-
a noise. But all of this is happening in God's mind.
-
It is in the mind that moves with the face,
-
as the neck is connected to the head, which moves
-
the mind. So this is happening simultaneously with what God
-
is creating in his mind. So he's seeing this earth
-
and he's seeing the waters. Now it's starting to come together.
-
I can see this thing coming together. But I'm a
-
little confused that what I'm seeing here. I don't really
-
I can't make out what I'm seeing. Oh my God,
-
my mind is just Oh.
-
I'm telling you, that's what's going on. I'm the guys,
-
I'm illustrating it to you. In Verse two says.
-
And the spirit of God, which is who the spirit
-
of God, God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
-
The Holy Ghost is the spirit of truth. The spirit
-
of God is Jesus moved upon that face.
-
He moved upon the.
-
Mind because water, the thinking of the water, water means watercourse.
-
He isn't talking about real water. He's talking about thank you,
-
the conscious mind, and he moved uponm the thinking. So
-
we're not talking about anything physical here. The Spirit of
-
God moving. Now listen, we couldn't be talking about waters.
-
So if the spirit, the Spirit of God is gonna
-
move on the beach, you know you're not talking about waters.
-
He's talking about we talk about the mass of waters,
-
you gotta think that mass speaks to the bodies of waters.
-
Now we start talking about bodies of waters, we're referring
-
to people's nations and tongues. The spirit of God moved
-
upon the faces of water. If we're talking about bodies
-
of people that are reflective of waters, then we have
-
to refer that those waters come from God's thought process
-
So the spirit of God, which was Jesus, moved upon
-
the thought processes of God. Now here comes verse three,
-
and God said, let there be meaning he gave light permission,
-
But where did that light come from? The spirit of
-
God illumination getting his thoughts in aura. He gave way
-
for illumination because he had to get out of the
-
place of his own darkness, darkness meaning the unorganization of
-
putting this thing together, of how this place was going
-
to be formed, formulated in the spirit and formulated by
-
the demonstration.
-
Of the natural.
-
God said, let there be light to come, or to
-
come to pass, to exist. He said, let there be
-
an existence of illumination. But this illumination couldn't come until
-
the spirit of God moved upon the face of the
-
waters or the multitudes because people artists are the light
-
expression of God, but they.
-
Are also his thoughts. If God had.
-
To say let there be light, that means that his
-
in his own mind, he.
-
Was in a place that was dark. He could not
-
see or illuminate or make out what this was that
-
he was seeing.
-
In the spirit of God, which is Jesus, the illumination
-
of his word came in and perfected his thought process and.
-
Brought things into order. Because when it says God's said,
-
let there be light, let me look at verse three.
-
And God said, let there be light, Let there be illumination,
-
And there was illumination. He gave it permission to illuminate,
-
or for light to be manifested. And God saw the light.
-
Wait a minute, uh uh what.
-
Who saw the light? God saw the light? Oh, I
-
know we missed up. Now they don't really think we're crazy.
-
Now recognized.
-
That it was good, and God divided the light from
-
the darkness.
-
And then here is the globe.
-
And God called the light day to identify itself as illumination.
-
Right in darkness, he called night and evening and morning
-
were the first day.
-
Spotify heart rate.
-
It's been a pleasure.
-
I had to cut you off right there.
-
Because now we're gonna we're gonna next week, we're.
-
Gonna go into it.
-
But I think you have a firm understanding of what
-
happened in the beginning with the illumination of light, creative power,
-
why man was created.
-
M hm.
-
We are the life, the illumination.
-
Of life. And so.
-
God said, let there be.
-
And it was like he gave permission for the spirit.
-
Of God, the illumination, to come forth, to express his
-
light through his thoughts, to bring God in order not
-
to say God was out of order. His thoughts were
-
in a creative place, and to express this, he created
-
a place physically that could demonstrate light and darkness.
-
That's why in the.
-
Fifth verse he said, God called the light day and
-
the darkness he caught night, and he established the boundaries.
-
The evening and the morning were the first day. Spotify,
-
come back, We're gonna go further down into verse fourteen,
-
where it talks about the lights and the firmament of
-
the heaven to divide the day from the night. We're
-
gonna talk about the lesser lights. Oh wait, that's not
-
on the syllabus. Well, I thought i'd throw that in
-
because I know you probably want to know about that
-
what the lesser light is. Yes, Lord, that light would
-
rule in the day and the darkness or the night,
-
or the darkness ruling the night. And then we're gonna
-
go into.
-
The image God created man.
-
In his own en image, and then we will conclude
-
chapter one. Well, I hope you enjoyed this teaching. Any
-
questions that anyone would have right now, I will open
-
the floor.
-
Don't be shy. According to your notes, it's almost.
-
Like he had in his mind. He had a blank hand.
-
This and all the thoughts that he had he was
-
trying to put in order. You know, it's just like us.
-
It's just an idea, but you got everything is jumbled.
-
Then the Bible say that life and death are in
-
the power of the tongue. Yes, why do you think
-
life and death are there?
-
Because we have creative power?
-
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
-
We get it from him. Mm hm we come from him,
-
We come from his thoughts.
-
You see it.
-
You see the creative power even in nature.
-
Now, your mother used to say, step back from the window.
-
God's mad when the thunder would come. Sit in the
-
chair down when you do something, when when nature goes
-
against man's order, they say it was an act of God.
-
Now they want to give God something bad now, but
-
it all comes from God anyway, so maybe it was
-
an act. Mm hmmm, April has a question, everybody, Okay.
-
Regarding verse five, this is what I got out of it. Now,
-
he correct me if I'm if I'm wrong.
-
But it felt like I was starting to go down
-
into alice in wonder Man's rabbit hole, and I couldn't
-
come back up because I was still talking and thinking
-
about God's mind. Now verse five, and this is God
-
called the light day in the darkness he called night.
-
Now I'm wondering if day, as pertaining to the mind
-
meant consciousness and night unconsciousness.
-
That's a possibility. And in his spiritual sense, yes, because
-
remember when we were in the world, we were in darkness. Yes, yes,
-
but see, darkness has nothing to do with what's outside.
-
That's just the illumination of that darkness for us to see.
-
And the unconscious uh in the night I had down
-
here is representative of ignorance, destitute of knowledge, unenlightened, yes, untaught, yes,
-
unacquainted yes, unacquainted.
-
With unaware or undis. Now I'm gonna say something comparison.
-
I'm gonna say something, and because she's pulling something out,
-
now I gotta say it.
-
And so I was. I was afraid that I was
-
going down this rabbit.
-
Hold and you need to go in it, okay, because
-
now I'm gonna say something that I know. Now we're
-
supposed to be closing, but I'm gonna say something. You know,
-
you know when they always say isay, you're fourteen the
-
fall of Satan, because we're gonna get into some of
-
that too. Now I wanna bring some understanding because I
-
don't believe that God is that crazy enough to allow
-
I'll say an entity of himself. Oh did I say something? Uh,
-
the devil came from God too?
-
He said he'd work crazy.
-
That's right.
-
Everything that.
-
The devil came from him too, That's right. Isaiah forty
-
five seven.
-
Read it. Listen. You have to believe.
-
That when you read Isaiah fourteen, which we're gonna go
-
to right now, because she opened up a can of worms.
-
I wasn't gonna talk about this, but something was tugging
-
me to do this. Isaiah fourteen twelve. Oh, we're going somewhere.
-
You gotta keep going down that rabbit hole. A lot.
-
You'll find a lot in a rabbit hole. That it
-
would make sense. Because I saw this today. When I
-
was thinking about it, I said, Lord, you know what,
-
that makes a lot of sense. So Isaiah fourteen twelve, Okay,
-
I believe this is King Tyris. Let's go back and
-
see it.
-
I believe the King.
-
Of Babylon, King of Babylon is operating out of a
-
I'll see a Luciferian spirit. It's a principality. But verse twelve,
-
he's speaking. The Lord is speaking to the principality. Isaiah,
-
the prophet speaking to the principality. It says, how art
-
thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer.
-
Son of the Morning?
-
How art thou cut down to the ground which didth
-
weaken the nations. I'm gonna stop right there. I want
-
you to ponder a question. When we talked about the Abyss,
-
we talked about ignoranceness.
-
We associate Lucifer or Satan as the king of darkness.
-
But if we put this in context of God's thoughts,
-
could it be that Lucifer is a fallen thought of God.
-
It was a thought that fell out of place. Spotify
-
heart rate. I'll leave you with that question.
-
To think about.
-
I'm not going to go any deeper into that because
-
it's not a part of our discussion. But I'll let
-
you ponder on that question and come up with your
-
own theory or come up with something that the Lord
-
revealed to you.
-
So next week we'll be back again.
-
Lord knows we're not going anywhere, so prayerfully I might
-
be back on on Saturday, to which I would address
-
our Valentine listeners. And you know how I do love.
-
I give it all I got. So until I hear
-
from you again or see you again, I encourage you
-
to go on all our twenty seven platform including Pandora.
-
You are not gonna see me visually. Like I said,
-
sometimes it's better the word is heard than seen. This
-
is not a broadcast you have paid for. I pay
-
for it free a charge. But until I hear or
-
see from you again, it was a pleasure felling shipping
-
with you, and tune in again next week same time.
-
I believe we start at We moved our Bible study
-
to Thursday, so it's Thursday. We'll come on at about
-
maybe six thirty to eight thirty pm. That's us in person,
-
and then we upload so you guys should hear our
-
uploaded podcasts around nine o'clock m We are working.
-
On things to try to get people in.
-
Who would like to connect live with us, and we'll
-
be working on that as the months come. But again,
-
until I hear from you again, I pray that you're
-
a blessed rest of your week and God bless you
