BRIDAL WRESTLING — 6TH MESSAGE.....(THU AM 7/3/97)

TREES OF LIFE ("I AM") AND DEATH ("I")

(International Summer Convention). This lesson is a continuation of the study the unclean feminine spirits and the shade, sha-deem, devils that are part masculine, part feminine. Perverted means to be turning away from the Light, and it means going away from the Truth and the Light into darkness. Thus, perversion is not limited to the physical realm. If we have our minds in the wrong mental direction, we are controlled by these unclean spirits, and we obey them; then, we are joined to them just as people are in the natural realm, only in a different way.

These vexing spirits shut up the Spirit of God. They try to get on us to dirty up our hands so that we will be an unfit servant to do God’s Will.

The question is always who is going to be God in our life— our Big “I” or the Great “I AM.” Luke 13:1-9 shows God’s Mercy on the fig tree and how He came first to the Jews with the message of the Kingdom and, then, with the Gospel. The LORD has one message for sinners: repent or perish. When Israel sewed up the veil and put animal sacrifices on the Altar, they put the Blood of Christ under the Brazen Altar. We must look above the sacrifice of the Crucified Christ and see the invisible Resurrected Christ..
