Each Time You Set Something of Your Self Alight‚ It Turns To Ashes, And Another Lily of My Spirit Grows
In Part 4, we followed Jesus from the tomb of Lazarus to the cross and beyond, seeing how His obedience to His Father’s instructions set in motion the cosmic prison break. But the power behind that victory did not come from Jesus acting in His own strength. It came through His complete dependence on His Father—listening, yielding, and obeying every step of the way.
And this brings us to an important question: What does it really mean to say that Jesus is enough? It is one thing to speak those words, but quite another to put skin on them and live them. Even Jesus, during His time on earth, had to learn obedience through the things He suffered. In this next part, we look more closely at what that meant for Him—and what it means for us.
Putting Skin on “Jesus Is Enough” – Part 5
Jesus speaking in prophecy: You’ve no doubt noticed that this GN is quickly becoming a book, but if it takes a book to help you see how this extra-special GN is applicable to your everyday life, then I’m very happy to oblige.
Millions of people have this misguided idea that I simply walked out of My life as a carpenter’s son and into My ministry as a full-blown miracle worker, just as easy as getting on a bus to go to work. Well, I’m here to tell you that there was no easy road for Me either, no magic bus ride, no shortcuts, except, of course, by way of obedience. And that is why I keep reminding you of the Scripture that says: I learned obedience through the things that I suffered.
Just as you must learn, I too had to learn that Jesus-the-man wasn’t enough. As a young man, in the days and years leading up to My going into full-time ministry, I was in school learning My “God Is Enough” lessons. Our vocation is full-time discipleship; we study the Word to find God’s approval—that’s His will and path for us. So many of My children read the Word but do nothing with it. They say within themselves that if they had been there at the Jordan or the lake that day I called Peter, James, and John to follow, they too would have followed.
Yet, as they read My written Word, they are beside the lake as Peter, James, and John, and I stand beside them, and the Holy Spirit whispers to them to follow, just as My Father was beside Me, whispering His instructions to follow. There was no question in My mind that I was to follow what I was hearing from behind the veil. However, My children today do not heed the whispers from My Word with the same surety of purpose as I did.
You can argue that that surety came because of Who I was, but I’m here to tell you that it was because of My relationship with My Father, not Who I was. Every day I had to push away the doubts, fight the enemy of My mind, just as you have to, too. I knew I was special, just as you know you are special—not better, but special. Everyone on earth is a special creation, but so few allow the Word to strengthen that knowledge.
I was no more privileged than you are. I had to put away the doubtful mind on a daily and, at times, hourly basis. I had to fight on with little or no sign that I was on the right track. Just like you, I grew into adulthood, living with My parents in a very normal, day-to-day family-life setting. I had to fight those doubts every time they came along and step out by faith, deciding whether or not I was going to follow what I knew in My heart to be right. It all comes down to obedience to the Word, the whispers from beyond the veil, and, of course, the written Word that I was hearing on a regular basis at the local synagogue.
Millions of My children never leave the Jordan and head out into the wilderness to take on the wild beasts and monsters that roam in those wastelands. They never forsake their system life-boat and its brimming catch of fishes to follow Me into all the world. They never apply the Word (PDF). So many of My children are like the Pharisees in My day who bid you observe, but do not.
Expect there to be pain (PDF) on your journey home. Know in your hearts that this Word that you are reading is truth and that you should follow it by doing it. Don’t be a seeker of gentle breezes and soft rain; seek the straight and narrow road of discipleship. The soft rain and gentle breezes are far more dangerous than the violent storms atop the mountain.
IQ: The purpose of this time, these present days, is to help you grow to possess pure, white, unshakable faith-—faith that will not be daunted; faith that will not flinch, nor tremble, nor waver, nor even consider the possibility of giving up. (ML 3316:5)
Let the dead bury the dead, beloved, and come follow Me. Fill your lives with the hot, radical Words written in this GN, and you will live a life that cannot be contained in all the books that should be written.
And as was said of Me in John 21:25, the same will be said of you: “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.”
That saying was certainly true of My life and will be of your life also, if you truly follow My Words (PDF) in the Bible and MO Letters. My life and our life stories will never be contained in a single book. So don’t allow your mind, “the enemy,” to tangle up what I am trying to do with this GN. I’m opening it up to show you how very down-to-earth and real-to-life the Words of David are.
That means your Word time should be not just a time of book learning, as that is what the church Christians do. They go to church, read their Bible, or listen to the pastor but never truly apply (PDF) the full counsel of God. They walk out of church or Bible study straight back into their system life. There’s no connective power. These same Christians who say they follow Me will participate in Halloween activities when that season of bewitchment rolls around, giving no heed to what they are participating in.
They have been assimilated into the system. They work and play in that world; they never fully separate themselves in spirit and flesh like My true Mountain Maids do. They are one of the trees in the forest and therefore do not see anything odd or unusual about their antics. The enemy has them completely eating out of his hand… Why? Well, it is because they don’t follow Me from the Jordan, they don’t forsake those loaves and fishes and cross the lake through that terrible storm; therefore, they never get to see Me walking on the waves, beckoning them to do the same.
My parables and word pictures, like, for example, the vine and branches story, are based on real-to-life chapters taken from My book’s life story, which I then share with you in an attempt to get you to apply those chapters to your life, where they are applicable. I truly had to cling to the branch throughout My life on earth. My Father used suffering in My life to help Me cling as tightly to Him as was possible.
The suffering He sent wasn’t to punish Me but to help Me cling as tightly as possible to the branch. The times of suffering were to help Me stay true to My calling in those times of light wind and gentle rain. Those were times when I could have entertained Myself in some worldly activity, just to ease the pain for a day—instead, I chose to bypass that path and keep climbing and shouting in the darkness.
Hell’s Portal – The Ox Goad
That factory next door is a perfect example of Me allowing the grinding mental torture that spews out of hell’s hole to keep you clinging to the branch in the light breezes that often come your way. You have heard yourselves say it: “Jesus has allowed that dark portal next door to remind us of what hell our brothers and sisters in the world are going through under the hand of the wicked one, and of why we are here in the first place.”
By faith, you have given your lives into My hands and are allowing Me to dictate your circumstances, whether good or seemingly bad. You go to My Word to find the strength you need to make it through those good times. This is the good thing, and you have chosen well.
Yes, you may think those difficult trials are what threaten to undo you, but I tell you again, it’s those gentle breezes and light rains of enticements that are much more dangerous to your discipleship life than any storm that is sent your way. Remember the adage: “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.” It was My blood that defeated Satan, and what is good for the Master, is it not good for His servant?
You’ve been made fully aware through prophecy that that factory is but one of millions of portals to Hell. Its screeching machines belch forth the horrors of hell’s machinations, a noisome pestilence straight from the Fowler’s pit. The concept was well illustrated in the movie portraying Tolkien’s land of orcs, trolls, and goblins. A bird’s-eye view of the open pit of Isengard was meant as an illustrated warning to the people of this world of what has come upon the earth in these last days.
Yet My children in the world are blind to what is all around them. They swim in it every day, telling themselves that they are wiser than their parents, more knowledgeable than the ancients themselves. Oh foolish generation, who has bewitched thee?
Their behavior and My warnings (PDF) through the Endtime prophet David are well documented in the MO Letters. My Word was given then, and the whisperers were busy then. In the pouring forth of My Word from the Heavenly realm, things have not changed. Beware of the slow seeping, the gentle breezes that waft through the open window and take the mind away to more pleasant pastures.
The Cesspool (PDF) MO Letter #664
- BUT ALL THE TOURISTS (Lifestylers) LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE BORED STIFF and they didn’t want to hear about the Devil, so they began drifting away. So I thought, “Well, nobody wants to listen to me, so I’ll leave too!”—and I just climbed into the ark and drove off!—End of Dream!
- THE SEWAGE OF COURSE COULD REPRESENT SIN, the sins of the people, or the lies of the Devil—his shit! And the reason their places were overflowing with sin was because the Devil down below had everything messed up, pipes tied in knots and the cesspool plugged up etc.
- BUT INSTEAD OF REALLY BEING HORRIFIED by it all, these people were just swimming around in it and enjoying it and out sunning themselves by it, and they didn’t even like to be told about it!
- THEY DIDN’T LIKE TO BE WARNED about their sins and the Devil’s lies and they didn’t like to be warned about their sunburn even though some of them were already getting sick from it all. So then when I went to preaching to them on the subject, they didn’t even want to listen.
- SO I JUST CLIMBED IN THE ARK AND DROVE OFF! I guess the Ark represents the Revolution (The Words are the Revolution), because all these systemites didn’t want to listen, and some of our own kids too! I guess that’s a pretty clear picture of people in general who don’t want to be told about their sins or that their sins are what’s causing them all their troubles.
- FURTHERMORE, THEY DON’T WANT TO BE TOLD IT’S THE DEVIL that’s behind it stopping up all the drainpipes so they can’t get rid of their problems. So when I started preaching how to fight the Devil they all got bored. They weren’t a bit interested in how to fight the Devil.
- SO I JUST CLIMBED IN THE REVOLUTION AND DROVE OFF AND WENT ON! If people won’t listen, you just keep on going. (Climbing and shouting in the the darkness)You really don’t have any responsibility to them more than once.
- THAT PREACHER was kind of significant too: He wasn’t telling them what was wrong at all, he was just ministering to the sick, not telling them how to get rid of it or what was wrong. (A typical CTP program approach)
- SO IF THE PEOPLE WON’T LISTEN and don’t want to fight the Devil and get rid of their sins, then they don’t want to be healed, and even if some of our own kids won’t listen, we still have to go on.
- THE KIDS SWIMMING IN THE CESSPOOL WERE BLIND TO THE FILTH OF IT ALL, and apparently it also shuts their mouths so they can’t really witness like they should or tell it like it is! They said, “Oh, that’s okay.—We’re keeping our eyes and mouths shut!”
MB: This is the precise reason why, post-Reboot, Jesus had to call us all the way out of the system. A complete and total forsake-all this time around. Besides fulfilling that line in paragraph 25, “If people won’t listen, you just keep on going. You really don’t have any responsibility to them more than once,” we have also been called to be an example of it being possible to live by faith in His Word alone.
If the New Wine is telling you to go into your wilderness cave (Audio), and there He’ll support you, then that is what you are supposed to believe and do. If the whisperers are telling you that the days of street witnessing are over because the days have grown dark, and that from this given point the warfare has shifted completely into the spirit, then it is your responsibility to believe and do.
If Jesus sees you are going to follow the New Wine for today, then He’ll make sure the Keys are fully activated (Audio) on your behalf.
On the other hand, if you think you can continue the way it was done in the past, He’s not going to stop you. But I assure you, because you chose to ignore the Word for today, you will have to carry a bigger load. It is the same principle as the Keys and prayer counsel we were given many years ago: “You can continue praying without the Keys and your prayers will be answered, somewhat. But if you use the Keys in conjunction with your prayers, then you are going to see a very marked difference in the answers you receive.”
It is simply a question of whether you believe that Jesus is still speaking to us post-Reboot, and that the “revolution” hasn’t died, no matter what the leaders of yesteryear said then or are saying now. Those who continued to follow Dad, no matter what revolution was brought along, were taken all the way up to the “Maria Shall Shine” years. Likewise, those who followed Maria, no matter what revolutions came along, were taken all the way up to the “Change Journey.” That is when the flesh departed and the Spirit took full control. We are still following Maria, but in spirit—the spirit of the Word and not the flesh.
The revolutions continue, as they must, because we have to be continually pushed toward the branch. Because if we aren’t, then we drift away. This fact has been proven over and over again. (End)
- YOU NOTICE THAT I DIDN’T TRY TO SHOOT OR KILL THE DEMON or destroy him: It seemed like as long as he stayed down there where he belonged, I was just trying to keep him in his place, because even the Devil has his duties. But he can sure fritz up the plumbing if the people let him!
- I GUESS THE END OF THE STORY WAS THAT YOU CAN’T LET THE OLD BOTTLES HOLD YOU BACK just because they don’t want to listen and they don’t care and they don’t want you to fix their plumbing and they don’t want to fight the Devil and they’re not interested in hearing about their sins nor his lies.
- SO THE REVOLUTION JUST HAS TO KEEP ROLLING ALONG! Well, apparently you have an obligation to tell the people and warn them of their wicked ways at least once, but you don’t have to stay around in all that muck and filth with those reluctant people once you warn them and see that they don’t want to do anything about it!
- YOU JUST TAKE OFF AND GO ON! The Revolution’s got to keep rolling. I guess I must have even left our own kids behind that were swimming in the cesspool! (And he did, and we did too)
- BY THE WAY, THAT HOTEL and all these people and that cesspool sort of reminds me of a blob, a great big stinking blob at that! The stench was so horrible with all those toilets running over!
- ARE YOU A STINKING TOILET THAT WON’T FLUSH OUT ALL THE CRAP?—Are you so screwed up by the lies of the Devil you can’t get rid of all that filth?—Are you even enjoying swimming around in it while you keep you eyes and mouth shut about it, as some have about Family corruption?
- ARE YOU SO DECEIVED BY THE DEVIL YOU EVEN THINK HIS SHIT IS GREAT?—The way some have believed his lies against my Letters?—Like those who say “they don’t mean what they say”?—Like those who “interpret” them to the contrary and “explain” them all away? (Oh dear, haven’t those Words of David been fulfilled to the “T”.)
- MAY GOD REMOVE THE FALSE PROPHETS FROM OUR MIDST who contradict, oppose and disobey the words of God and lead others astray also!—Read the stories of the Evil Magician “and the Magic Garden” and “”, and the evil Witch —and beware! God help us not to listen to them!
- ARE YOU OBEYING THE LETTERS AND THE LORD?—OR THE “LEADERS”!
MB: So you clearly see that Jesus was delivering His post-Reboot message through the mouth of the Endtime prophet right there in this MO Letter called “The Cesspool.” Listen, if you just can’t accept that Jesus is pouring out the New Wine for today, and you just can’t bring yourself around to believe what is being said in these posts and podcasts, then the solution is simple: go back to MO and hear it from him instead. But if you are truly honest with yourself and truly want to move on up the mountain, MO is going to tell you that the Leaders are the Letters. Therefore, you will find yourself right back here, having come full circle once more. Then again, if you just can’t stomach MO, then go back to the Bible. But you will find this same reality there, too… and that is that the Words in the Bible point to the New Wine of MO… once again, there’s that circle analogy.
The last and final choice is to toss them all away. And I need not explain where that will lead you. (End)
Focus on the Power [#3374]
(Prophecy) Why do people get so easily trapped and stay connected to comfort zones? Why do they choose confinement and regulations to real freedom? It’s addiction to self-pleasure. But what did I say to real freedom followers, fighters for the faith? “In the world ye shall have tribulation”. So if you aren’t having that, aren’t having “tribulation” and things seem very calm and relaxing, and easy to get along with, are you still fighting for the faith and freedom of others any longer?
If you are to focus on the power of the keys, if you are to allow the words I speak to you to dictate your life, you must rid yourselves of all that stands in the way of this. Detach yourselves from other things that clutter your life—the cares of the world, the pride of life, anything that opposes My Word. You must choose Me over all every time. You must shed the weights and sins that would hold you back. (Focus on the Power! [#3374] (PDF) (End)
(Back to Jesus is Enough)
- But even your best efforts will fail and fall, and something will be overlooked or not seen. And this is where I will help you, give you another chance to be purged, to be chastened‚ to bring forth more sweet honey through another time of squeezing.
- This is why you shouldn’t look for a time when the pain of battles and breakings will end, but rather you should embrace them.—From the deepest‚ darkest lows of your life when everything is stripped away from you‚ to the smaller breakings of continually saying yes to Me.
- To reach that point of purity of love for Me, you must willingly surrender those things that I would have required of you later. But this is so hard for My children to do; there is so much fear and doubt and reservation. But it is the only path to truly being free to serve Me without hesitation‚ without thought of self‚ and it is where true power in My Spirit lies.
- You must taste and see that I am good. You must surrender that which is dearest to you again and again, turning not to other crutches and desires‚ but only to Me, and let Me prove to you that with each thing you give up, I am enough to see you through. As you do this again and again—some through your own offerings, some through what I require of you—slowly you will come to that place of having so little of yourself and so much of Me instead.
- Each time you set something of your self alight‚ it turns to ashes, and another lily of My Spirit grows. Your goal is to burn away as much as you can of yourself and your own desires so that your heart is filled with very few weeds, and instead My lilies of dedication, yieldedness, and perfect love have sprouted everywhere in their place.
- (Dad:) Basically‚ it’s the life of faith that helps us to reach that place where Jesus is enough. It’s the trials and battles; the things we lose and sacrifice; the things we forsake—and learn that we don’t need; the times when we see Him supply for us, satisfy us, and make us happy despite our not having the things we may think we need. It’s the forsaking, the hardships, the fulfillment, the abounding and abasing, all our experiences lumped together that take us step by step–and in reality almost forces us–to the place where we truly feel and know that Jesus is enough; He’s everything to us, and compared to Him, nothing else matters.
- The way it works is that‚ on the one hand, breakings, battles and forsaking drive us to Him in desperation and in need. On the other hand, they remove the props and the crutches that keep us from being more spiritual and leaning more on Him, from really discovering that He can be the beginning and the end of our satisfaction.
MB: But the way the people of the world work is that they are always trying to fill the holes that breaking, forsaking, and battles create with things of the world, like drugs, alcohol, food, work, spending money, boyfriends or girlfriends, whatever. They try, unsuccessfully, to fill the hole or gap in their lives that Jesus is trying to make for Himself. And, of course, the Devil and his demons’ business is to rush to the aid of these poor, struggling souls by encouraging them to do what their minds and flesh are telling them to do—that is, to find solace in these crutches. Here is a small excerpt of the powers we are up against.
Bacchus
Demon of addiction ML#3365:65. Jesus: As for Bacchus, his jurisdiction is over the principality and stronghold of addiction, of which there are many forms. His mission is to separate My children from Me, to cause them to turn to their addictions—any number of physical or fleshly crutches and excesses—instead of turning to Me and leaning upon Me. His mission is to cause dependency, a dependency which hinders them from leaning and depending fully upon Me, thus stifling their growth and connection with Me.
Jesus: This is the haughty, proud prince of addiction, Bacchus. His strength, his hold, and his tentacles are multiple and strong, but they melt as butter when cut with the power of the keys! ML#3402:38.
Jesus: Remember that, if you’re ever trying to break a habit (PDF) in your own strength: He is an arch-demon and you are but a puny human. Without the powers that I have given you, he will beat you every time. But greater am I in you than Pan or Bacchus or any other puny demons! I will beat them down every time, and you can beat them down with the power of the keys and the new weapons. (Follow this link for more information on Who’s Who in the spirit world) (End)
