Sermon Notes

Isaiah 55:1-3 tells us to buy the Truth and sell it not. We buy the Truth with our poverty. We begin our spiritual journey with theoretical Knowledge; then, we go on to the experiential Knowledge. But in the Father’s realm, we receive experiential Knowledge first; then we move to the theory side of the scales. Experience comes by the Spirit of God, and God’s Word is Spirit and Truth; it is also theory, so there are two sides.

Ephesians 2:8-10 says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them,”  The Hebrew word for work-manship, mah-as-eh, means actions. It means work, good deeds, labor, skill. It means cunning, wise, a work. The word mah-as-eh comes from the root word aw-saw, which means to do, to finish, to complete, to dress.

The Hebrew word for groan, aw-nakh, means to be filled with anguish. Groaning is a depth of prayer that has to do with the depths and the heights of the LORD’s tetragrammaton, His Holy Name. There are vessels of mercy and vessels of wrath (Romans 8:22,23). The cup of Mercy is almost full, and the cup of wrath is almost full. When these two cups fill up, the cup of Mercy is going up, and the cup of wrath is going down. So the vessels of wrath’s full cup will demonstrate itself in their allegiance and service and idolatrous worship of the Antichrist.

(Mexico Retreat ). Roman 8:26 says: “[T]he Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” The Unbegotten Spirit of God groans and repents for all our offenses against the depth, the height, the length, and the breadth of His Infinite Name. When we get through the whole matter of Time, Eternity, Creation, we are back to the LORD’s Name. The LORD God started with Himself, His Name. He owed a debt to make His Name known. Consequently, He begot His Purposive Will and His Master Plan.

(International Convention) Four miraculous crossings of Jordan are recorded in God’s Word. The first two crossings were made by Jacob, who went across with his staff or rod that had the LORD’s Name on it. It was God’s Purposive Will for Jacob to be the firstborn and to have the blessing of the birthright. The blessing in the Old Testament consisted of the firstborn being the king, the priest, and the prophet of the family. That was their inherited right. But when they were in the womb, Esau struggled with Jacob and pushed him out of the way, thus being born first.

Matthew 11:28-30 mentions two kinds of rest. There is rest that we receive by gift, and there is rest that we find by growth or work. To find rest means that we are looking for something. To find something means that we have to work for it. The rest that Jesus gives is the rest of a worm. It is the crawling rest of an infant, a baby. An infant is a child that cannot walk. If we think we can walk up and down the Cross, we are wrong. The only ones who get on the Cross are the crawlers. The Psalmist said, “[I] am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people” (Psalm 22:6). He was speaking prophetically of how the Son of God felt when he was hanging on the Cross. Jesus Christ crawled with all Humility up to the Cross.

(Independence Day, International Convention) The Philadelphia Church, mentioned in the third chapter of Revelation, is the Spouse Church. This is the Church that kept His Word, did not deny His Name, and kept the Word of His  patience. To the overcomers in this Church, Jesus said, “[I] will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name” (Revelation 3:12). So if we are overcomers, our new Name in Glory will be the New Name of Jesus.

Our say-kel mind was our dominion mind that was fought over in the Garden of Eden. It is so ingrained in us to be domineering because God gave Adam the First dominion over all creation; everything was under Adam-male and Adam-female’s dominion. That is why Leviathan went immediately for the say-kel mind. He wove a veil of deceit over Adam-female’s say-kel mind, making her think she did not have one. When she believed his falsehood, Leviathan became the controller of her say-kel mind; then she and Adam-male lost their power to dominate.

In the Son’s realm, in Time, everything moves one step at a time. The Father’s realm is called Eternity or Space without form, and in the Father’s world, everything happens instantly and simultaneously. When everything is rolling and spinning at one time, we have a hard time understanding this principle. So when we encounter the fierce, mad shad-eem devils around the noonday Brightness of the Sun of Righteousness, we become confused. Matthew 24:7-9 tells us that there will be wars and famines and pestilences and earthquakes in the last days. These are the beginning of sorrows. The Hebrew word for earthquake means vibrations, shaking, uproar, commotion, confusion.

Ephesians 4:22 says: “That ye put off concerning the former conversation [or behaviour] the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts.” The Hebrew word for old here is keh-dem. So the old man has been around a long time. When we were in keh-dem Eternity, God showed us Leviathan and showed us his veil of deceit and asked us if we would be willing to go down in Time and put on this veil so that He could prove His Name as Saviour and as Redeemer. We chose that old man, that old breath, that old veil of deceit, so that we could prove that nothing, in the long run, is going to separate us and the LORD Jesus Christ, not even an old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts.

When the Angel appeared to the Virgin Mary in Luke 1:29,30, he said, “[F]ear not, Mary.” Corrupt fear is true fear or reverence of God flowing backward. When fear is flowing backward, it becomes scorn. It becomes irreverence. It becomes ingratitude. We have to stop scorning in order to have a spiritual conception. But the Bible says: “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear…”(I John 4:18). God is love. Love is His Name. Love is His Nature. Love is His Word. Love is His Will. Love is His goal and objective. The love of God is perfected in us by the Word of God. “But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected…”(IJohn 2:5).

Romans 8:19-22 says that the Creation was made subject to vanity; it was reduced to a nothing, an empty thing, a vain thing, but not willingly. It did not want to leave the Father or the Son or the Holy Ghost, but the inhabitants on Earth have always pulled the Creation down when they have rebelled against the LORD’s Tetragrammaton Name and put the Name down. It is all God’s Creation. God’s Name and Word and Voice created it and brought it into existence. So His foursquare Name is there.

God, the Unbegotten Father, is the Source of all things, and He always starts at  the top and comes down. But we cannot start where God starts. We have to grow up in the Spiritual Stature of Son of God. Then, when we come down to the Throne of Grace, we come to the LORD’s foursquare Name, which was personified by the four horns of the Brazen Altar.

Darkness has to do with the Father. There are three different kinds of Darkness. There is ar-aw-fel Darkness,  kho-shek Darkness, and o-fel Darkness. These are houses in which God lives in order to hide the great Light from the LORD's Holy Tetragrammaton Name.
