God
is Thought.
Thought is the source of
all power; only Thought creates. Angels are the fruit of God’s
Thoughts; you were
originally the fruit of God’s Thoughts, but now you are
God’s defiled
(lower case) thoughts (foul fruit). The brightness (Glory) of
our
revelations (our corrected now Holy Thoughts of God) depends upon the
correctness of our doctrines, our building blocks, our Godly Thoughts
laid one upon another like the rungs (stairs) of a Jacob’s ladder
ascending
into the mind of Christ. Angels are the Thoughts of God created
as
Spirits, communicated as Words. You and I each are a corrupted
thought (a
spirit) of God, a criminal angel temporarily confined
(imprisoned) in a human
body. We all are fallen angels, fallen, mingled defiled
thoughts,
independently thinking spirits, members of the (lower case) spirit of
God, but a
willing few of us are being purged purified and restored,
reinstated, repaired (healed) back into Heaven and Fellowship
with
Father God.
EVERY
BELIEVER’S FUTURE
(John
7:37-39) In the last day, that great day of the feast [of
tabernacles (the ingathering of the fruit)], Jesus stood and
cried,
saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me [i.e.,
to the
Word of God: John 1:14], and drink. He that believeth
on me,
as the scripture hath said, out of his belly [Gk: fig.
heart]
[mind] shall flow rivers of living water
[“unlimited
power” Dake’s]. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which
they that
believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was
not yet
given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
1.
(John
14:12) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on
me, the
works [Gk: deeds] that I do shall he do also; and
greater
works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
THE
BEGINNING OF MIRACLES
THAT
EVERY BELIEVER WILL FIRST EXPERIENCE
(John
2:1,2) And the third day [“one day is with the Lord
as a
thousand years” 2 Pet 3:8] [1] there was a marriage in
Cana of
Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus
was
called, and his disciples [that’s us], to the
marriage [a
melding together, Dict: to blend; merge, unite].
1.
(Hos
6:1,2) Come, and let us [i.e., that’s us] return
[Heb: bring (again, back, home again), come again (back), go
again
(back, home), restore, (cause to, make to) return, back, back
again] unto
the LORD: for he hath torn [away our holiness, separated us
from our
holiness], and he will heal us [give us back our
holiness];
he hath smitten [Heb: wounded (us)], and he will bind
us up.
After two days [“one day is with the Lord as a thousand
years” 2
Pet 3:8] will he revive us [Heb:
quicken, recover, repair, restore (to life)]: in
the third
day he will raise us up [elevate us], and we
shall live
[Heb: quicken, recover, repair, restore (to life)] in
his
sight.
a.
Commentary:
you cannot go back to some place that you have
never
been.
2.
(Luke
15:32) It was meet [Gk: necessary (as binding)]
that we
should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother
[commonly
identified as the prodigal (Dict: exceedingly or recklessly wasteful)
son, but
correctly identified as a fallen angel (one of the sons of God)]
was
dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
3.
(Eccl
12:7) Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and
the
spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
a.
(Psa
104:4) [God] Who maketh his angels spirits;
his
ministers a flaming fire:
b.
(Heb
1:7) And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits,
and
his ministers a flame of fire.
A WHILE
AFTER THE MARRIAGE BANQUET BEGAN
(John
2:3-5) And [later in the banquet] when they wanted
[Gk:
lacked, suffered need] wine [symbolic of Old
Testament
Theology, and the lack of a “personalized” Holy Spirit; essentially, having
knowledge but no revelations, i.e., “knowing good and evil” (Gen
3:5) but not
discerning (understanding) the difference], the of mother Jesus
saith
unto him, They have no wine [1]. Jesus saith unto
her, Woman
[Mary = Heb: rebellious /// bitterness] [originally, Mary
was a
generic representative of all unsaved humanity; now she had
become
“imputed for righteousness” (saved) and birthed Jesus, as also
shall we do
in type (Judg 7:19,20; Rom 8:18; 2 Thes 1:7-12)], what have I to
do with
thee? mine hour [the hour of my death] is
not yet come
[2]. His mother saith unto the servants [us,
(excellent
advice)], Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
1.
wine
= Gk: effervesce; wine (as fermented); by implic. intoxication:
banqueting.
a.
effervescent
= Dict: 1. To rise and come out in bubbles, as gas in a liquid. 2. To
be lively
and high-spirited; vivavious.
b.
vivacious
= Dict: 1. Full of life and animation; spirited; lively. 2.
(obsolete)
Long-lived or hard to kill or destroy.
2.
(John
16:7)
Nevertheless I tell you
the truth; It is expedient [Gk:
be good, be profitable] for you that I go away [fig. die]: for if I go not away, the
Comforter [Gk: intercessor: advocate] [the Holy
Spirit] will not come unto you; but if I depart, I
will send him unto you [the Holy Spirit,
i.e., the wine].
(John
2:6-8) And there were set there six
[a symbolic number of man] waterpots
[hollowed out] of stone
[alluding to people as hard stones gradually softening and
ultimately
losing their hard hearts], after the
manner of [i.e., used for] the
purifying [Gk: a washing off, ceremonial cleansing] [remaking
holy] [1] of the Jews, containing
two or three firkins apiece [2]. Jesus
saith unto them [the saved servants (us)], Fill
the waterpots with water [i.e.,
fill the people with the word (logos) of God]. And
they filled them up to the brim [“Drink ye all of
it” Matt 26:27,28, spoken by Jesus Christ referring to the cup of wine,
i.e.,
“New Testament” Theology]. And he
saith unto them, Draw out now [take action, do
something, read
and speak] [3], and bear
[Gk: carry (support)] unto
the [unsaved] governor [Gk:
ruler] of the feast. And they bare
it [Dict: to open to view, uncover] [as we bare (syn:
expose,
show, uncover, disclose, reveal; expound, evangelize, explain, teach,
preach) the
Bible to others].
1.
(Eph 5:26) That he might sanctify [Gk: make
holy] and cleanse it [the
church (the chosen people)] with the washing [Gk: bath (fig. baptism)] [make whelmed
(fully wet)] of water [the logos] by the word [the rhema,
the meaning (fruit, revelations) of the word of God conveyed by the
Holy
Spirit],
2.
Commentary:
“six
waterpots of stone… containing two
or three firkins apiece” = further symbolizes men and women. One
firkin
weighs 60 pounds, so two firkins
weighs 120 pounds
which is about the weight of an
average woman, and three
firkins weighs 180 pounds
which is about the weight of an
average man.
3.
(James 1:22)
But be ye doers of the word, and not
hearers only, deceiving [Gk:
deluding] your own selves.
(John
2:9-11)
When the [unsaved generic] ruler
of the feast had tasted the
water [logos – knowledge, the
Bible] that was made wine
[rhema - revelations], and knew not [from] whence it was: (but
the [saved] servants which drew the
water knew;) the governor of the feast [who
got saved as evidenced by his
revelation] called the
bridegroom [now Jesus Christ in
type], And saith unto him, Every man
at the beginning doth set forth good wine [the seed, the Old Testament]; and
when men have well drunk [Gk: become drunken]
[not sober minded: 1
Pet 5:8], then that which is
worse [the false doctrines
of men creep in]: but
thou hast kept the good wine [the fruit, the New
Testament] until now. This beginning of
miracles did Jesus in Cana [Heb:
reediness] of Galilee [Gk: the heathen
circle], and manifested forth his glory; and
his disciples [Gk: learners,
pupils] believed on him.
Amen
