THY KINGDOM COME
by Franklin D Murdock
INTRODUCTION:
"For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct [Him] and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ, the Messiah, and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart."(1 Corinthians 2:16). In Mathew 6:33 Jesus directs us to first seek the Kingdom of God.
Luke 17:21 informs us not to look elsewhere for the Kingdom because the Kingdom of God is within us.
The key is to seek diligently and continually for by our seeking Jesus proclaimed in Mathew 7:7 that we would, or shall find what you seek. Isn’t it exciting to realize that we can hold the thoughts and feelings and purposes of God's very own heart in our heart? Isn't it thrilling to know the Creator of heaven and earth will be one spirit with us and transmit His thoughts to our mind? I Corinthians 6:17 says that when we were joined to the Lord we became one spirit with Him. He came into union with man so that He can talk to us heart to heart. God wants each of us in harmony with Him so that His thoughts can become our actions. He wants us to walk so closely with Him that we never lack power to overcome the evil of this world until we experience the rapture. He wants us to be so in tune with His Spirit that we are able to feel His heart of compassion toward those among us who are burdened with ignorance and lack of knowledge. He wants to be one with you and me, so He can reach out through our hands and fulfill His purposes in the earth. Make a fresh commitment today to walk in union with our God. Give your attention to His Spirit in your inner man. Determine to yield to His voice and not to the voices of the world or the flesh! Allow the mind of Christ to flow through you! And let not any temporary situation stress or master you for Jesus said whatever I have done you will also do but even more. I say to you do not allow any thought that does not edify the knowledge of God and Jesus, you, your heavenly family or your life with the life Jesus promised you abundantly.
It is written, that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. It also says the word is God, and the word was made flesh. That means the word is Jesus. And Jesus said His sheep would hear is voice, and know Him. Hearing by the word, what does that mean? We hear by the variations of the movement of air oscillating against our ear drums. What is different, and how do we hear by the word? I will explain what through the knowledge of Him has been revealed and shown to me.I am legally blind, yet today I see more clearly the Glory of God than I was able to see a few years ago, and I hear His voice speaking to my heart every day. The following is what He revealed to me in answer to my inquisitive questions while in prayer. AGE OF UTOPIATHE PROPHECIED MILLINNIAL AGE
It is written in God's Word but not clearly defined; In fact His Word clearly states that the description of this time should be sealed until the end of days is upon us, (Daniel 12:9) I highly recommend you read this very carefully, because I believe we are now experiencing this glorious time. Relating rightly with the written Word of our Lordis a very important matter and cannot be over emphasized. The writings of the Godly men influenced by the Holy Spirit were first penned in the ancient Hebrew language and later translated into the international Greek language. The Greek language is idiomatic in that they have so many different words having distinct and separate meanings that when translated into English they are the same word. Example is in John 20 verses 5 and 8 the word "saw". In verse 5 the Greek word is Blepo meaning to behold or look at. In verse 8the Greek word is Eldos meaning to perceive and comprehend. Study and understanding the Word is necessary for faith building.All world happenings indicate we are now there, the end of days and it is imperative by our seeking His Kingdom and Righteousness’ that by His Grace He removes the Vail from the windows of our mind that we apprehend and comprehend with understanding, the purity of the true knowledge of God and Jesus. Concerning the thousand year reign of or Lord as "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" as He establishes His everlasting Kingdom, and what part we might be called on to serve Him while He rules the nations. Read Revelation 20:6 very carefully.During this time that we have before the rapture, and the return of Jesus, "The Day of The Lord”, when that day is manifest, much is being preached, taught by pastors, bible teachers, and written which I acknowledge inspired me to search God’s Word. It is about this critical and glorious time in the history of man's total and complete redemption I write. We will hear and read about being assigned positions of responsibility, about awards, and about inheriting crowns of Glory. They all are biblical. Yet, if not expressively expounding the knowledge of God and of Jesus in truth, this can become very confusing and even stressful. At this point I would like you to comprehend the culture and legalisms prevailing as men of God penned words influenced by God's Holy Spirit, the inherent uncompromising Word. They were all defendants of Israel, and their law prohibited them from inter marriage or even fraternize with anyone not of their pure lineage. To avoid such stressful mental frustrations it is written that we should study God’s word of truth to show ourselves proven unto our heavenly Father, a co-worker that need not be ashamed, being able to rightly divide the word of truth.(2 Timothy 2:15)Recognize that some scripture relates only to nonbelievers, including Israelites who have not received Jesus as their Messiah while other scripture relates to all the born again believers that have received the Holy Spirit regardless of culture or religious affiliation. Example: 1 Thessalonians verses 9 & 10, and 1Thessalonians 3 verses 14-15 and 16. In Mathew 24 Jesus warns us be diligent not to be deceived, or as written in Ephesians 4:14, “tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine…”.This millennial age has a definite purpose and goal in God's overall plan. There is only one plan and it will come to pass. To all persons who have been given a new spirit, (born again) regardless of nationality, culture, religious affiliations, or intellectual training, they will become subjects of His Kingdom. In addition to having received a new spirit, there is one more thing that has to be embellished before man can enter into God’s perfected eternity. It is attaining full spiritual maturity with the glorious knowledge of God and Jesus, the final stage of our salvation, our edification, and fullness of God in every man, being completed to be an image of his likeness, character and nature becoming one in spirit with God and Jesus and with one another. As predicted, becoming perfected, as God has declared, and it is going to take 1,000 years to separate all goats from His sheep. Eternity will be man's new and permanent habitat on His new earth with new heavens. The alternative to this would be to have ones name blotted out from the book of life before the Great White Throne Judgment day. Although, I did find that for all who have become “overcomers”, they are assured their names would not be blotted out of the book of life, (Revelation 3;5). I ask, why did God put this notice in His word if it has no meaning? I did not find biblical record of anyone who had been redeemed and was justified by Grace, and their names written in the Lamb's book of life, and later having their names blotted out. However, to have a name "blotted” out of the book, their name must have first been recorded in the book of life.To the recipients of this message, I urgently pray you open your hearts to receive the treasure and wealth of its contents. Should at first you experience difficulty with any part of its presentation, be persistent (patient) with your studies and you will hear in your heart the voice of God for the Holy Spirit will reveal God's truths. He (The Holy Spirit) initiated the origin work to record and then manifest the written word, which is the inerrant God breathed and spoken word. A helpful hint from me personally based upon my meditating and listening for His direction via His Holy Spirit is; consider one basic truth, Jesus during his earthly ministry established a priority for the overall implementation of a plan to re-unite man with God. This plan is unchanged to this day and clearly establishes more than just believers, but alludes to the abolishment of mans denominational religions, churches, differences of ideologies and cultures. The Apostle Paul penned it perfectly in Romans 2 verses 6 through 11. Inheritance worthy of His special blessings will amplify the issue that the idol of God's eye is and always will be "His
People", the Jew first, then the born again gentile. Read also Romans 12:3, "Think not too highly of yourself" and know that being faithful and obedient to diligently be a doer of His word, you will be favored. NOTE: The Bible Scripture is a very personal and intimate letter from my, Heavenly Father. It is His inerrant, uncompromising and loving word to me, (and you), and must be apprehended by the renewed and refreshed spirit of my mind to capture and retain the truth of His message. While studying His word, I change the personal pronouns to the first person, me, I, my, and mine instead of the second or third person, you, yours, our, us, they, theirs, them and those. In this way I put myself into the text of the message and feel closer to my Abba Father, God. For an example Romans 8:29, first quoting it, "For those whom He foreknew of whom He was aware and loved beforehand--He also destined from the beginning...to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that he might become the firstborn among many brethern”. (Amplified Bible} I'll now read that verse this way, "Because He has known and loved me beforehand, He also destined from the very beginning that I be molded into the image of His Son and share inwardly His likeness so that I, (by choice and obedience) shall become His servant and thus become a victor (overcomer) over evil among my fellow man". Remember, you are reading a personal and intimate letter from your loving Father. This letter (the Bible is so majestically designed and expressly reveals His nature for all that have eyes to see, and have ears to hear. Jesus said "Take heed that no man deceive you" so with that in mind, search the scriptures and ask the Holy Spirit to either confirm the truth or expose an error in this exciting and challenging saga. It is interesting to note that the word "if" is used 1,595 times in 1,420 verses, and the word "then", meaning afterword or next, is used 2,168 times in 2115 verses. Each time they are used, it denotes that some action needs be taken by man and will require of me executing my free choice. Therefore it requires more than just reading the word.Bible References:Revelation 21:7. If I am an overcomer, (master and ruler of sin in my life through the blood of Jesus), Then I shall inherit all things, and Jesus will be my God and I shall be His son."II Corinthians 13:5.This is the only scripture that authorizes me to judge. I must examine, test and evaluate myself to judge whether I am holding to faith expecting and producing acceptable fruit for the Kingdom and pleasing God. At the same time humbly recognize that the Spirit of Jesus is within me, or am I weak or even void of faith relying on God to do everything for me?Matthew 7:21.First know that Heaven is the seat of all God's government, Judgment and origin of commands and declarations that created all. One other note is Heaven was never (and is not now) meant to be the permanent habitat for man, that has always been and is today the purpose of earth. Unfortunately God's adversary has been able to infiltrate into the body of believers with deceitful doctrine. It is imperative that I, (you,) not be deceived by any scripture other than that influenced by God's Holy Spirit who is the only source of true interpretation, (2 Peter 1:20) yet I must not judge others, but I am to continually search the Scripture for His truths.Revelation 3:21, 2:26 & 27: If I am an overcomer and have been obedient without wavering, faithfully do what is pleasing to God, He will grant me (or allow me) to sit with him on His throne in the same manner that He did on the throne of His Father, but I am reminded, the servant is not grater than his master even though He may assign to me much responsibility to assist Him in His rule over all nations to accomplish the purpose of the millennial age. (Romans 12:3) "I must not think of myself more highly than I ought." (Egoism)Hebrew 1:8. This bares witness to the absolute righteousness of His rule over His Kingdom for ages upon ages, and the scepter, (rod of iron) His authority is absolute and established and according to….2 Timothy 4:8, if I am declared an overcomer, to receive a crown of righteousness for being faithful and obedient to the good works of Jesus, I may be assigned (inherit) a definite responsibility serving the King. Think of the scepter (rod of iron) not as a weapon, or a tool for punishment, it is spiritually similar to 'the rod of Moses', it being the Holy Spirit's release point of power. I will comment on only three other scripture references, not necessarily in the order in which they appear.Psalm 8:5 & 6:"For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowed him with glory and honor. "Thou made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet:" (King James Version) The previous verse starts out with the question, "What is man?" According to I Corinthians 3:6, and II Corinthians 6:1, we are to be co-workers, or co-laborers with Jesus. This is really provocative, for even the angels in God's Heavenly Kingdom did not know what God was doing. Lucifer was one of them and when he heard the blessing given to Adam, jealousy griped him, and he then put into action his diabolic scheme to steal that blessing and he succeeded. I believe it was the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back" that sealed his doom and a patient, loving and forgiving God had him, and all power of evil expelled from His Kingdom in Heaven and cast into the earth. It matters not when but that he was expelled and become the god of this world until Jesus stripped him of all power and retrieved the blessing.Genesis3:23 & 24; After the success of Lucifer to steal God's Blessing, God removed Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden. He also blocked the entrance to the garden so they could not re-enter it. Some have considered this a punishment and the wrath of God, but it was in truth His compassionate love to keep them from taking of the fruit of the tree of life. Since by their disobedience, they had allowed Satan the right and means to afflict them with all or any of the contaminations of sin. Therefore, had they taken andeaten the fruit from the tree of life, they would have never died and had to have lived a living hell being afflicted with perpetual disease or affliction. Just think, some time in our future we will have the opportunity to meet Adam and Eve in the millennium Kingdom to come, if not before.Revelation 21:7. Read it as a personal prophecy concerning you. If or when I am victorious, (an overcomer) then I shall inherit all these things, meaning taking possession of, or be assigned a portion for which I will be responsible to produce good works, and Jesus will be my God and I will be His servant and co-worker throughout the 1,000 years of utopia. There is yet is a lot we must learn and understand and much to do. Pray that all blinded minds that are prevalent today be cleared so as to enable all men to understand God's truths in the scripture. My researching the meaning of the words, "all things" as used by John when he penned this verse revealed that they include all the forms of DECLENION. This word, according to Webster, means a trend of a downward bending or slope. Also, falling away from or falling off. This means that all that inherits rewards will have to work assisting Jesus during His reign in the millennial age by counseling and teaching with compassionate love to manifest the fullness of God in every soul before the final judgment day, and before entering into God's perfected eternity. Will we become a teacher, a servant of the King or a student? I pray you let the Holy Spirit witness to you as to the validity of my words. Remember, Jesus is Lord and To God is the Glory.I write all this to inform you to believe Jesus and be diligent for your salvation is nigh, and all they that think they are saved, unless they be born of the spirit, born again, they are in for a tragic surprise. It is not too late.

My journal part II
It is Christmas time 2009, and I find myself living in a senior living establishment that two years ago I reviewed via the internet and determined it was too rich for my pocketbook.
Why am I here, and what transpired that made it possible for me to be here? Trying to use my carnal reasoning power, I find that it is beyond my ability to comprehend, and understand. It did not just happen, but has been orchestrated by a power becoming more familiar with each Breath I take, and as I pondered on this subject, I heard the voice of God speak to my spirit and heard in my heart many things related to the longevity of life and the business of providing for “senior” living. I observe a number of my fellow residents that suffer with disabling infirmities all needing assistance to enable them to navigate through the mysteries, both physical and spiritual encountered each day.
It is so humbling to see the glorious love of God manifested in our lives, as I observe the compassionate care afforded each resident by the staff of this establishment. They truly fulfill their Moto: “Enhancing the lives of those we serve with compassion, respect, excellence and integrity.”
As much as I would like to lay my hands on them as Jesus would, and see each of them made whole and well, I can only rejoice and praise our Lord Jesus for making all this possible. I realize His love for them is no more or less than He has ever had for each of us. He sacrificially volunteered His mortal life while nailed to a wooden cross. I am a witness, and make myself available as His co-laborer, or worker for accomplishing His will, not mine.
As for me being here, circumstances suddenly changed. The first thing was that my son retired after too many years of laboring to exist in the carnality of this world, and be able to prioritize learning the true purpose, and meaning of life. He and his lovely wife, a God given help meet, (not mate) decided to travel first before settling somewhere and at this time they know not where. The next thing, my granddaughter living in California began looking for a home for me that would provide her and others an ability to visit me more readily.
Because of changes in this world’s economic posture, and its affect on both personal and business policies, what was once impossible now is possible. The rest is history. I can now apply myself more earnestly to enhance my limited knowledge of Jesus, who over the last twenty-eight years has become my first love, and to portray the purpose and will of God to restore the lost key to the knowledge of Him. The knowledge that sets us free and the truth that divinely reveals the power of His will, “My Father’s Wondrous Love”. Experiencing all of this in my waning years, I seek no personal accolades, but seek divine discernment to rightly divide the word of truth as I ask, is this a blessing, or my presumption? I do know one thing, to Him belongs all the Glory.

In God I Trust
MAKING A TRANSISION
JOURNAL
I write this to all seniors and especially those of you who have been widowed. I also offer this to the younger generation who might feel responsible for a parent or related senior citizen. Be aware, it is a traumatic experience to acknowledge you have become so dependent on others for your safety that you should not live alone. Also, put credence in what you have been taught, that is Jesus is real and He will never leave you, trust Him. It is written “My sheep hear my voice”, and since He sent us “A comforter”, you should ask and listen.
It was June 2007 the first anniversary of what I thought was the beginnings of the end of my happiness. It was the culmination of events that led to the loss of my beautiful wife Phyllis. Widowed again, the third time, it seems almost unreal the speed at which my life changed. Phyllis and I, living in mobile home park in the high desert of southern California were happy as we battled the adversities of everyday life while we talked about, and thought about our future. It happened on July 2, 2006 she went to be with the Lord, and I awoke the next morning alone again. She had been my eyes as well as my protective and loving wife as I was experiencing dimming of sight from what the doctors call macular degeneration along with a cardiovascular problem. Listening to my doctors and immediate family, and although I never had given thought of spending my waning years in, of all places the south.
After much prayer and meditation I answered the invitation from my son and daughter-in-law to let them move me to live with them in Alabama. I did and they so graciously made room for me in their home, and I moved four months after the death of my Phyllis. It took me about three months to realize the impact my living with them would have on their beautiful relationship. I let my fingers walk through the yellow pages of their phone book and found an establishment offering affordable senior and assisted living within twenty miles of their home. Again, depending on God to guide my steps, I moved into that establishment on the tenth day of February 2007. My thought process went wild. What happened? Why am I still alive, and what am I doing in Alabama living among total strangers? I even had difficulty understanding their peculiar structure of the English language. Yet, I soon understood they were all there for the same reason I was. They all needed some level of care or assistance. I soon realized I was among friends and I learned to love each of them and to pray with and for them. This all had a positive effect on my attitude toward life while in this carnal world and body.
Having zero ambitions for personal gain or for any self satisfying pleasures, I resigned all by relinquishing selfness including my arrogance, self exaltation and any egoism to my Lord Jesus and to trust Him implicitly. In actuality I have never had a more positive attitude concerning life. I realized that I had to let go of all my past, and not drag it all behind me but look diligently to the predicted and promised future. I still have wonderful memories, and will always cherish them. Strangely, I began comprehending the true meaning in God’s sovereign plan and purpose for my living. I was now afforded time to prioritize God. This meant to seek the Excellency of the knowledge of Him and my Lord Jesus. Having revealed to me, and given me possession of the priceless privilege of knowing His unwavering truth. As it is written, (Luke 11:52) by man’s legalism and adopted political philosophy, we have lost, or had stolen the key to this knowledge for generations. It was not coincidence that brought me to this place, but by the influence of God’s Holy Spirit that knew exactly what He was doing. He first led me to many places in his intimate and loving letter, the Holy Bible, where I now realize is in total one integrated message from my heavenly daddy. Throughout its entirety I first apprehended then comprehended with understanding His message. He assured me I had a mission and a purpose as His co-worker for which He would form me and lead me by His hand to be His servant and witness. I was then influenced to write a poem and I did five months after moving into that facility. I had it published in my book titled< “My Life in Poetry”, and is as follows.
LIVING WITH PURPOSE
After writing about everyone else I decided to write something about me.
At a very young age my mother taught me of a Jesus who would, if I asked him, supply all my needs.
By so doing she planted a seed of faith, then she said he would do more; he would my every hunger feed.
I was told he was Almighty and spiritual but where might I find him? I thought, with such a God I would really like to develop a personal and intimate amity
During my adolescent years I tried finding him going from church to church but I gave up after finding no one matching his identity.
I tried to read mom's book, the Bible it availed nothing, for all the 'thou's, and thee's and begat's I did not understand, so I gave up trying.
This Jesus remained a mystery to me for over half my life, yet I now recognize his closeness to me was, and is still faithfully untiring.
For some reason my prayers were awesomely answered even though having a lack of knowledge I was living in Adamic sin.
I had to lose the subject of my adoration, selfness, before my Shepherd could find and redeem me, and when He did I surrendered all to Him.
It took fifty-three years after first learning about him before the shades began to fall away from my eyes.
By revelation knowledge I become conscious of the devious consequences for accepting Satan's lies.
God's truths have always been visible before, but have been cleverly concealed.
As an everlasting monolithic fellowship with Him developed, they are being liberally revealed.
Receiving and accepting His promise of living eternally with Him is an experience of a monumental kind,
It is a continuous phenomena and a mystery as through His Holy Spirit He progressively renews my mind.
I humbly give thanks to my Almighty Aba Father, in your name Jesus, for your never failing faithfulness.
For in all my years you never left me nor forsook me and I now recognize the magnitude of my blessedness.
You have awesomely manifested yourself to me and I find that I'm fraught with the desire to understand the inadequacy of man.
I dedicate the rest of my life to magnify God's Glory by being obedient to your word; I know that with "The" blessing I can.
Unconsciously hidden from man's earthly intellect is the truth of your majestic power that works supernaturally.
We hold the 'rod of Moses' to use in obedience to your command so your Holy Spirit will performs your promised works miraculously.
Unexpectedly I find myself living in a home among strangers, all needing assistance; all are struggling against some handicap and have only memories of limited worldly felicity.
In accordance with your word and by your anointed authority, I am moved to release the awesome power of the faith provided each of us to overcome our personal frailty.
The challenges before me I confess are intimidating, but I fear not and vow to you O! God, I will
By submission be the point for the release of your power thus you, your purposeful loving mercies fulfill.
It is now December, 2009, and after three years and three months living in Alabama, I find myself back living in California. By the wondrous love I heard in my heart His voice confirming it was His desire that I return to from whence I came. I was able, with the loving Grace of God and help of a granddaughter; transfer my residence within the corporate identity for senior living. At this time I know only one thing. Jesus and God are real. Jesus born of a virgin, voluntarily submitted his mortal body as a sacrifice by allowing Himself to be crucified, transformed into sin, carried it all to the depths of hell to dump it all in the lap of Satan and take from him what he had stolen, thus redeeming with the priceless value of His blood all sin in the world from which includes death and cursing, thus making available to all mankind the blessing of Abraham. He then was raised from the grave and commissioned believing man with all authority over the now powerless sin when becoming victors by the oneness with Him. (Born again)
This posting will be continued.

During my adolescent years I tried finding him going from church to church but I gave up after finding no one matching his identity.
I tried to read mom's book, the Bible it availed nothing, for all the 'thou's, and thee's and begat's I did not understand, so I gave up trying.
This Jesus remained a mystery to me for over half my life, yet I now recognize his closeness to me was, and is still faithfully untiring.
For some reason my prayers were awesomely answered even though having a lack of knowledge I was living in Adamic sin.
I had to lose the subject of my adoration, selfness, before my Shepherd could find and redeem me, and when He did I surrendered all to Him.
It took fifty-three years after first learning about him before the shades began to fall away from my eyes.
By revelation knowledge I become conscious of the devious consequences for accepting Satan's lies.
God's truths have always been visible before, but have been cleverly concealed.
As an everlasting monolithic fellowship with Him developed, they are being liberally revealed.
Receiving and accepting His promise of living eternally with Him is an experience of a monumental kind,
It is a continuous phenomena and a mystery as through His Holy Spirit He progressively renews my mind.
I humbly give thanks to my Almighty Aba Father, in your name Jesus, for your never failing faithfulness.
For in all my years you never left me nor forsook me and I now recognize the magnitude of my blessedness.
You have awesomely manifested yourself to me and I find that I'm fraught with the desire to understand the inadequacy of man.
I dedicate the rest of my life to magnify God's Glory by being obedient to your word; I know that with "The" blessing I can.
Unconsciously hidden from man's earthly intellect is the truth of your majestic power that works supernaturally.
We hold the 'rod of Moses' to use in obedience to your command so your Holy Spirit will performs your promised works miraculously.
Unexpectedly I find myself living in a home among strangers, all needing assistance; all are struggling against some handicap and have only memories of limited worldly felicity.
In accordance with your word and by your anointed authority, I am moved to release the awesome power of the faith provided each of us to overcome our personal frailty.
The challenges before me I confess are intimidating, but I fear not and vow to you O! God, I will
By submission be the point for the release of your power thus you, your purposeful loving mercies fulfill.
It is now December, 2009, and after three years and three months living in Alabama, I find myself back living in California. By the wondrous love I heard in my heart His voice confirming it was His desire that I return to from whence I came. I was able, with the loving Grace of God and help of a granddaughter; transfer my residence within the corporate identity for senior living. At this time I know only one thing. Jesus and God are real. Jesus born of a virgin, voluntarily submitted his mortal body as a sacrifice by allowing Himself to be crucified, transformed into sin, carried it all to the depths of hell to dump it all in the lap of Satan and take from him what he had stolen, thus redeeming with the priceless value of His blood all sin in the world from which includes death and cursing, thus making available to all mankind the blessing of Abraham. He then was raised from the grave and commissioned believing man with all authority over the now powerless sin when becoming victors by the oneness with Him. (Born again)

ASKING IN VAIN AND USING THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN
Most people including some born-again Christians seem to think this refers only to using the names, God or Jesus with some expletive as a cuss word. Yes that is using His name in vain and totally void of any reverence to life. However, there is a more frequently used way, and we all have been, or are presently guilty, but are not aware of it due to ignorance or false religious teaching. It is when we ask God to do something, or provide something that He has already given or made available to all believers. Let us review the situation.
In order to re-establish the channel of communication and His intimate relationship with man and earth He, God produced, that is He created an embryo of Himself and placed it in the womb of a virgin named Mary, thus in actuality come to earth as His own son, Jesus, fulfilling the scripture in John 1:14, ‘The Word (God) was made flesh and lived among us”, to fulfill His predestined plan of salvation and redemption. Jesus was the visible image of our invisible God according to scripture Colossians 1 verse 3 . He voluntarily submitted Himself to the religious leaders of His people to be tortured and scourged by the Roman occupiers of the land. The punishing soldiers pulled out by hand His beard, they then spit in His face. He was then stripped to His waist and forced to kneel while they whipped him thirty-nine times with a cat of nine tails having bits of glass and rock that tore the flesh off His back. (Modern medical science identifies all pestilence illnesses and maladies can be traced to only 39 root causes.) They then placed a woven crown of thorns on His head piercing His brow. He was then forced to carry the wooden cross to the top of a hill known as Golgotha. There He was then crucified being nailed to that cross the nails piercing His outstretched hands and not crossed feet. He did all this without one cry of pain or did He offer any defense. He was then made over by taking upon Himself every sin past, present or future. He was literally transformed into sin, not just a figure representing sin, but the sum total of the product of evil. This had to happen in order for Him to take upon Himself all the wrath of God against Satan, the spirit of evil that steels to destroy the souls of those who choose death and curses rather than choosing life and blessing. (Deuteronomy 30:19) He then carrying all this carnal world’s sufferings and pains, (sin) He delivered them in the depths of hell and dropped them all in the lap of Satan and took from him the keys of death and hell which he had obtained from Adam. God then raised Him from that death intended for all not believing and being saved. By the accomplishing this He became the first over-comer of the evil rudiments of this world to become for us the Resurrection. For us first to apprehend then to comprehend the magnitude of love, (God) that He displayed fulfills what He declared in John 10 verses 15 through 18. Now we, in order that we who are born of the Spirit and thus our being born again, (The first time we were born of the flesh and with a dead spirit) can now live and have all the spiritual blessings (gifts) in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 1:3) By His Grace and Loving kindness He has given to us through our faith in His son Jesus the privilege to use His name in order we can master, or rule over all the works of the now powerless enemy, but who continually ploys his deceitful tactics to influence us and steal the purity of a Grace impowerd , Spirit led life. Know and understand we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
God’s Grace, the product of His Love, is already available, so using the name of God or Jesus for something already provided is using His name in vain. It is likened unto trying to live in a home wherein there is plumbing that provides water furnished by a water company becomes so plugged that when one turns a water faucet to get water he gets nothing. Understand, the water is there in the pipe but because of the plugged system it cannot be received. This is analogous to the spiritual channels through which God provides His Grace, Spiritual Gifts and answers to our petitions and prayers. If those channels are stopped-up with unbelief or doubt and hardening of our heart, or any junk which we have allowed to infiltrate our carnal minds, it will either hinder or completely block the Holy Spirit from delivering God’s blessings. If this is the situation in your life even though you are a born again believer, you must take action to clear all obstructive elements from your carnal mind and personal channel of communication with our Heavenly Father. Asking Him in the name of Jesus, He will help you. Asking Him in the name of Jesus to do, or provide that which has already been done and is available for His children is using His name in vain, but it is not too late in this age of man to correct the situation. Asking Jesus to be you’re Lord you are asking Him to be your master and teacher. In so doing you must relinquish all selfness to Him and not only believe in Him, but believe His written and spoken words , trusingt Him to provide all your needs. You will hear his voice speak to you through His implanted spirit with your spirit. You will know His voice, and to God be all the Glory.

A Tragic Story
When God created life he gave to man complete dominion over all the food chain including all the fish of the sea.(Genesis 1:28) Fish has always been primary source of food from the very beginning of the age of man. When, Where and How did man go wrong and allow Satan’s evil action to contaminate this vital life supporting product e by invading it’s eatable flesh with a toxic poison. It has happened, but so far is limited but devastating .One such case is ciguatera which is a toxic poisoning which modern medical science has no cure and effects at least eight species of popular seafood that inhabit tropical waters. This popular seafood prepared in any restaurant could be dangerous to your health. I have a precious granddaughter who has been stricken with this devastating malady, and her story follows:
To everyone in attendance at the Wall-Toten wedding on June 2, 2007, the event seemed like a wonderful new beginning. The bride, Tandi, a devoted mom of four, had moved her family in search of a "new" life. It was no accident or vain chance that, she took a job as a teacher's aide at an elementary school where she chose to settle, and one of her second-grade students, Sarah Wall, fell in love with her and somehow was able to introduced her to her father. His name was Glade, a widower with three children .He had tragically lost his wife in a car accident three years prior. Tandi and Glade instantly fell in love, and it wasn’t long before they celebrated the joining of these two families. It was truly a day of great celebration. They were on "cloud-nine" and very much in love. The happy couple left the following day for their Fiji island honeymoon. Glade had made reservations to stay in an advertized resort village. When they arrived at their destination they found that it was a small and very primitive island village. While in Fiji, They ate some barracuda that some locals prepared for them, and within 12 hours Tandi becomes violently ill. There weren’t any medical facilities available on the island, and thinking it was a temporal condition they returned home. Her initial flu-like symptoms persisted and were soon accompanied by peeling skin, rashes, numbness and "pins and needles" in the lips and extremities, severe headaches, loss of coordination and fainting, muscle and joint aches, metallic taste in her mouth, depression, hallucinations and reversal of hot and cold sensation. Ciguatera fish poisoning is a common marine seafood toxin disease worldwide. It is largely under diagnosed and under reported in the world. Symptoms include gastrointestinal and neurological effects, as well as cardiovascular symptoms. Symptoms include headaches, muscular aches, numbness, pins and needles in the lips and extremities, muscle and joint pain, metallic taste in mouth, reversal of hot and cold sensation, hallucinations, depression and much more. My skin always feels like its burning says Tandi. Doctors are often at a loss to explain these symptoms and Ciguatera poisoning is frequently misdiagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis. There is NO known medical treatment or medicine which provides effective treatment or antidote for Ciguatera poisoning. The mainstay of treatment is supportive care. After countless doctor visits, Tandi was finally diagnosed with Ciguatera poisoning, a toxic reaction from eating fish contaminated with ciguatoxin. Ciguatera transformed Tandi, a once vibrant, active and fun-loving woman into someone bedridden and suffering from agonizing pain each and every day. Her days of hiking, gardening, biking, jogging, teaching and laughing were now spent in chronic pain. After getting home to Heber City, Utah and visiting medical professional doctors could not diagnose my sickness for weeks. As I became sicker and sicker, we saw an Infectious Disease Doctor and that is how I found out I have Ciguatera.
In an attempt to relieve the unbearable pain, a doctor prescribed Methadone, an opiod medication used to treat chronic pain. While some of her Ciguatera symptoms were eased by the medication, life did not return to normal. Many times Methadone put Tandi into a "zombie-like" state.
It wasn't until months later that Tandi and those around her became aware of the dangers of the drug Methadone, especially the large doses prescribed she take every day. Tandi made the decision to get
off the potentially lethal drug. However, as she quickly learned, getting off Methadone is not an easy task. She began weaning herself from the drug slowly (with doctor's assistance); but as she did, the withdrawal and Ciguatera symptoms began attacking her body with a vengeance. It is well documented that Methadone is the hardest drug to detoxify from and Tandi is currently struggling with this. More than ever her body is riddled with pain. She vomits daily, she can't sleep, and she hurts in ALL muscles and joints.
Tandi desperately wants her life back. She wants to care for and enjoy her supportive and caring husband and their seven beautiful children, but she needs support to make that happen. In order to get through the Methadone detoxify process and for hopeful relief from the Ciguatera symptoms, Tandi needs continued professional help; help that she simply cannot financially afford at this time. Family and close friends of the Wall's are asking for the public's support to raise aid by donated funds needed to get Tandi well. The Tandi M. Wall account has been established at "U.S. Bank". Any donations will be greatly appreciated. We know with Tandi's giving nature that she will make it her personal prioritized mission to reach out and help others which number is estimated to be from 10,000 to 50,000 effected consumers of this toxic poisoned fish per year are about the hazards and symptoms of Ciguatera Toxin (which symptoms are commonly mistaken for Multiple Sclerosis) and the dangers of prescription Methadone.
To make donations for the cause of Tandi, you can walk into any U.S. Bank or mail donations to: U.S. Bank (Tandi M. Wall Donation Account) 550 North Main Street, Heber City Utah 84032.
About one week ago I was awakened from a sound sleep and was led by the Holy Spirit to look-up and given to understand the following scriptures related to Tandi’s and others, unanswered prayers. It is due to the hardening of our hearts and our unbelief. I am aware that some of you will choose not to believe me, but I am not writing what I think, but what God has had written for our edification. He led me to Mark chapter 16 verses 16, 17 and 18. Where He divulged that He first gave to us the authority working with Him by using His name baptize believers into the Holy Ghost, and when it was manifest those baptized would speak with other tongues (for it is written, we know not what to pray for, but the spirit residing within us does), and during their sojourn through this mortal life, should any consume any poisonous substance, it would not harm them. This is why we ask God to bless our food when giving thanks. At this time I was referred to Mathew chapter 3 verse 11 where John the Baptist declared that he indeed baptized with water signifying acknowledgment of repentance, but Jesus would baptize believers with the Holy Ghost and with fire. (Power) The problem is with us, not believing and trusting God, for it is all done and finished through His blood sacrificed for us on the cross. We must obtain the true knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord and by faith put the devil to flight, and not ask, or expect our Father to do again what He has already done.

PRESCRIBED COURSE FOR VICTORY
Jesus, (John 10:14-16, and John 14:6)
Object of Faith: The Cross (Romans 6:3-5)
Power Source Gods Holy Spirit (Romans 8:2, 11)
Results: Victory (Ephesians 2:8, and Romans 6:14)
Please take notice, salvation is a free gift from our Father, but requires from us faith, trusting him. This before it is activated and we have dominion over sin. Then, and only then, Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over us.
God has made known that He wants now to unveil to all believers and non-believers a mystery which has been concealed from man since the beginning of time. It is truly a mystery and is something that can only be known by the revelation work of God. The mysteries of the scriptures cannot be discovered or comprehended by intellectual learning or personal experience, God Himself must make them known through the Grace-empowered, Spirit led proclamation of His concealed message within His written Word. The great mystery God wants to unfold is "Christ in you, the hope of glory." It is not an eternal home in Heaven, but a Heavenly home in a new world wherein which is spiritually founded, not carnally founded as this world is. It is this earth made new after the great white throne judgment to become our permanent home everlasting. Yet as we mature in the knowledge and wisdom of God in preparation for this glorious transformation we should have inquisitive wonderment and questions. For instance, why did God reveal the book and story of Job, and who are the sons of God? Ancient writings refer to them as fallen Angels, but could they include all angels. The story of Job portrays the horror and affect of sin when unaltered even though Job believed and feared God. I question how this might concern us today. Because Job had matured spiritually, believing and trusting in God even though his wife and friends abandoned God he was an overcome the evil of sin. Today, in this perplexed and evil world while all society and even most Christian churches and religious followers are adopting a philosophy of apostasy and a fear of physical terrorism they become unaware of a silent and more sinister attack from Satan. An act that is aimed at dividing be leaving people intellectually into alienation with Him, and the absolute truth, His Word, Jesus. Be not deceived, the Gospel is unchangeable and though we live in the 21st century, it will not and cannot be “modernized”. Remember If you have united yourself to God by receiving Jesus as Lord, and relinquishing selfness, everywhere you go....God goes with you!

HIS WORD IS WORKING
For some reason this day, October 9, 2009, my spirit is being stirred into action to write this message. Somewhere, someone's well being is being threatened and persecuted badly and needs comforting and assurance from God. You are under His wings and He will never fail you for He has grafted you into His family and His
Love for you is absolute. Because of the situation you allowed to engulf you, He has allowed Satan, the spirit of evil to use your frailty of spiritual knowledge to try your trust and faith. Don’t be deceived. If Peter had not allowed evident situations to divert his attention when he stepped out of the boat and onto the water, he would not have required Jesus to save him. I am led to a scripture that may not seem to be relevant, but all scripture is living word, and as we read it we hear God talking to us. The scripture is Isaiah 49:5 and verse 8. For you it says that He has formed you for a purpose and mission, and in verse 8 He assures you that in His acceptable time He will help you and preserve you. This means if you need anything, it will be done, and you along with many others will know that He provides. To Him is all the Glory. For some reason you need to know that God is on your side and wants to hear from you as well as talk with you if you will only listen. Right this moment Jesus is in intercession for you and He wants to bless you, right now be you made whole.
This messaged concludes with my prayer for you to believe and trust in the goodness of God.

For you it says that He has formed you for a purpose and mission, and in verse 8 He assures you that in His acceptable time He will help you and preserve you. This means if you need anything, it will be done, and you along with many others will know that He provides. To Him is all the Glory. For some reason you need to know that God is on your side and wants to hear from you as well as talk with you if you will only listen. Right this moment Jesus is in intercession for you and He wants to bless you, right now be you made whole.
This messaged concludes with my prayer for you to believe and trust in the goodness of God.
