THIS BUSINESS OF HINGING YOUR FAITH ON THE ANSWER INSTEAD OF THE WORD IS LIKE A WORKS RELIGION
Submitted by Lisa
Note: I have been very questioning lately; I’ve been dwelling on thoughts, wondering if Jesus really expects us to not look at MSM news at all; to just pray and get directions and answers through prophecy only or be content to not even hear any answers to our prayers! He certainly has continued to remind us to stay in our cave, yet I am still finding it extremely hard to accept it. It seems too …extreme, besides being a frustration to fly blindly on instruments alone.. I had received a prophecy on the 9th of June, but it’s obvious I’ve been allowing my carnal mind to take the lead and as a result am struggling with the concept. This morning in my Cave time I was led to read ‘The Key of Iron’ blog and pulled out the following quote from the classic MO letter, “But if Not” #0313 (PDF). The letter number piqued my interest. The following discovery was received before class time this morning (19th) so I had no idea of what topic or content was going to be discussed. Before sharing this amazing event I have to say it is an amazing confirmation that Jesus does indeed want us to rely on prophecy alone and He gave it, as He said He would, as the “sign of Jonah” through signs in His wonderful word!
I’ll start with the excerpt I found in “But If Not”.
THIS BUSINESS OF HINGING YOUR FAITH ON THE ANSWER INSTEAD OF ON THE WORD IS LIKE A WORKS RELIGION! It’s like, “Show me!–I’ll believe it when I see it!–Seeing is believing!” But that’s not the way faith works: With faith, believing is seeing! Faith works on blind obedience no matter whether you ever get the answer or not!
-He says that “The trying of your faith is more precious than gold!”–The testing of it!-
-KEEP GOING FOR GOD! Keep believing and obeying no matter what happens! If you will just hang on a little longer like he did and not give up! (But If Not…! [#0313])
Now here is what Strong’s Greek says about the number 313:
MB: In using Strong’s numbers we are not advocating being led by Strong’s number system. If anything they are small lights on the runway of prophecy indicating that we are right on track. I have no doubt, that, with or without Strong’s numbers we can take off in the dark. That is because we are flying by prophecy. MB is all about flying by prophecy, not the seat of your pants. We advocate the gift of prophecy as outlined in the Maria letters. But it always fascinates us how Jesus often uses these numbers and indicators as encouragement that we are indeed on the path. We have found that right throughout Mystical Bible’s history Jesus has given us equations and numbers as small and at time big signs that we are going the right direction. Perhaps Jesus will use little signs or numbers in the Word to encourage your faith up until the point where you trust fully and completely in your prophecy channel. But knowing how Jesus has worked with us along on this journey of prophecy, I just know He will undoubtedly place a small jewel or gem on the path just to encourage you on your way.
Strong’s Greek 313 is used two times in the NT (1Peter 1:3, 23).
“The word means to produce again, to be born again, or to be born anew, to bring forth, conceive, to spring. Peter uses the word to denote the change God brings, through his Holy Spirit in Christians, that causes them to refocus their lives toward conforming to His will and obeying Him” Key words: conforming to His will and obeying Him (by blind faith alone no matter what happens)
Lisa: Very appropriate verse at this moment. We have to change, once and for all, if we choose to completely believe by faith, be made anew and ‘fly only by our instrument panel.’ Even if we hear nothing and don’t see any answers to our prayers, we will continue to go only by prophecy, ‘the sign of Jonah.’ We will stay in our cave; we will stand our ground. Okay, so I’m looking for confirmation to what Jesus has been showing the Warrior Band for quite some time now (since leaving the City back at the end of 2024) and I’m using the signpost marked 313.
Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Lisa: Wow! If I want to hit the mark, that is, cross the finish line as a winner, then I have to leave that carnal mind behind: dump the weight and sin of self and carnal mindedness.
James 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? Let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
Are we wise in ourselves? Are we full of knowledge? I must emphasize demonstrating faith through actions. I must believe in prophecy alone, grab a hold of the Key of Humility that hangs between the breasts of my blue angel and show out of a good conversation (prayer/prophecy) my works with meekness of wisdom. It is wise to obey what I’m being told from beyond the veil.
“The English word ‘pray’ occurs 313 times in the King James Bible.”
“The English word ‘thee’ appears 313 times in the KJV of Ezekiel. It first occurs in Ezekiel 2:1 during Ezekiel’s famous “wheel within a wheel” vision where he sees the glory of God and the spiritual beasts who serve him. God then calls him to serve as a prophet.
Ezekiel 2:1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
And the last word to be recorded 313 times is the English word ‘Lord’ in Leviticus, KJV. The word’s 313th appearance is in its last verse of the book.
Leviticus 27:34 These are the commandments (prophecy), which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
Lisa: Seems a message just for us ‘hidden’ in Scripture through the number 313.
I then began my ‘313’ search in MB blog pages 1.2.1 and found ML# 3130 ‘Believing Prophecy’! (Found in blog post OCT 28, 2024 “Trapped on a Mountain”)
If you have been studying your New New Wine, you will know that Trapped on the Mountain is all about flying in prophecy. This is the excerpt from that blog post, OCT 28, 2024 Trapped on a Mountain:-
SOMETHING THAT IS EASILY ATTAINED IS NEVER APPRECIATED AS A PRIZE WELL FOUGHT FOR
- (Dad speaking): God has always had His man, His voice, His mouthpiece, and His channel through which He gave His Words. God raised me up to be the man with a message for the Revolution for Jesus. I was His voice, His mouthpiece, His messenger. My job was simple: I just heard from the Lord and I passed it on. I gave His Words to His children. That was my job, my calling, my destiny.
- And now, Honey, you’re His voice, His mouthpiece, His (bride) with a message. You were created by God to give His message to His children and to the world. All your years of training were to prepare you for this time, to be His prophetess of the End, the one with a message–the message of love, of revolution, of warning, of repentance, of mercy, of Heaven, of the wonders of the spirit world.
- Honey, the message the Lord gives you will be more varied and even more radical than the message He gave me to give to His children and to the world. There is much, much more to be discovered and to be revealed, and you will be called upon by the Lord to carry a message to the people that will not always be popular and well received, but it is a message that must be given nonetheless. For you are a prophetess, and your job is not to please the people but to please the Lord. God will put His Words in your mouth and in your hand, and it is your obligation, your duty, your responsibility to give those Words, come what may, no matter what the cost.
- You must give His message and be a faithful messenger, a faithful voice, and let the chips fall where they may. Spare not the message due to the cries of the children and their doubts and their balking and their wonderment, but just give what the Lord gives you. Be faithful to give whatever He gives you, because only in your giving and your pouring forth will He be able to continue to give to you and to Peter, the faucet, and to your channels, the many Words that He has yet to give. You are His mouthpiece, His voice, His messenger, and whether He puts His Words in your mouth and you speak them yourself, or whether He puts His Words in your hands through your channels, it is the same; it is still His message, His Words, and it is still your responsibility to pass them on.
- Each Family member has a choice as to whether they will believe not only the Words that the Lord puts in your mouth, but also the Words that the Lord puts in your hands through your channels. They have a choice to believe the counsel that you give directly and the counsel that you pass on that the Lord gives directly through prophecy, through His living Word, the messages that He has for the Family for today. Each person must make a choice and a decision to believe and receive, and the Lord will bless each one individually according to their faith. (Believing Prophecy!#3130)
MB: Whilst thinking on what is being written here, it dawned on me that we are the fulfillment of the letter Peter and Maria sent out to TFI in 2010, “The Change Journey”. The way we are operating now in 2025 is a complete change of direction from the way The Family was operating back then. Jesus wasn’t asking the Children of David to go back to church or join the system. He wanted his wives, brides and lovers to have a complete metanoia. Not by throwing away the established foundation that the Endtime prophet David built (Builders Beware) but by using the foundation as a springboard or stairs to the next level up…the fourth floor.
The core of the matter and what I really desire is the hearts of My brides–each one’s personal love for Me, dedication to Me, and willingness to obey Me through whatever personal tests and choices they have to make, whatever weaknesses they personally have to overcome, and whatever cross they personally have to bear. Shooting Straight 8 #3512 (Broken promises (PDF))
Something that is easily attained is never appreciated as much as a prize well fought for. Do you desire the Spirit? Do you desire it, My loves? Then I want to see you fight for it and prove to Me that you mean what you say. I know that thou lovest Me. But just as I had to ask Peter this many times, so must I ask you. For the flesh can overcome even the most well-meaning Brides. Lovest thou Me? Lovest thou Me, even more than these? (The Wayside (PDF))
Celeste: The life of a true follower of the doctrine, a true disciple, is a life of sacrifice; it is a life of faith and constant danger; and not just from matrix bots trying to eliminate you, but the faith life is a life of not knowing where your daily sustenance is coming from. It is about striving to reach a goal that not too many others see. It believes in a dream that the heart knows will one day come true. These believers don’t eat system bread; their dream is sustained by the Word of God. They know that without this spiritual bread, their attempt to live a life outside the system/matrix will undoubtedly fail. They see others give up the fight, saying as they leave that it is not worth the fight, that it is an endless rotational dream. They give any number of reasonable and unreasonable excuses why it is impossible. The life of a disciple is a constant fight to stay free of the entanglements of the world. (The Wayside)
Key Promise…My brides, My lovers who have come to Me in the night season to listen to My whispers of love and claim the keys of iron, it is you who will hear the secrets that I have held in My treasure chests since the beginning of time. It is you to whom I am opening My Words. The time-release capsules of MO are opening in rapid succession because now it is time, now is the hour.
Lisa: That Key Promise made me think of the blog about night flying.

WE ARE NOT FLYING BY THE SEAT OF OUR PANTS OR BY GUT FEELINGS
Prophecy, Jesus speaking: You must understand this: you have left the City on a trajectory around the dark planet. The darkness around the planet has never been as murky as it is right now, and that is because this is the last time, the final lap, the last desperate hour immediately before Satan gains complete control over the planet. It is your prayers that are creating this atmosphere. I have shortened the time, and that means events will happen more quickly and with more force. Shocking events, unfathomable events, will unfold before your eyes; therefore, if you do not give full attention to your instruments, you will veer off course. This is night flying; this is what you were trained for. Don’t look out the cockpit window. Satan’s FACT gas covers the planet; stay above it by staying deep in the Word, honing the Seven Thunders. These are your instruments; you have to rely on them unquestionably. I tell you, My brides, things are not normal. This planet is on the brink of total collapse, and you have been sent back for such a time as this. (MAY 16, 2025 Sequel to 5 Minutes Before Midnight)
Lisa: And here is a quote followed by my prophecy from 9th June
Quote: “I want you to stop being one of those in the crowd looking for the obvious miracle and be one of My disciples who looks past the loaves and fishes.
The miracles of My Word are only found by My lovers. So look for the little things, the things I say in My Word that tell you I am answering those really big prayers even if you can’t see it. I am indeed moving the history of this world on the small pivot of your prayers and every now and then I prove it to you by dropping a little indicator in My Word.
If you are looking in all the right places, you will see that I am truly and surely answering your prayers to change this tired, sad world. Once you begin seeing those many Word miracles, you will not be surprised when I arrive for you just when I said I would. You will have been following Me very closely, so you will be expecting Me. You will know beyond a shadow of a doubt because you have been seeing the little signs and indicators in My Word all along” (MB blog post May 22, 2025)
Prophecy: That’s it dear bride, your spirit heart needs to be on the same frequency as your Husband, and if it is, then your spiritual sight will kick in too. You will see the little signs that have been strewn along the path as sweet love notes to you all along. If you missed them on the pathway, then it’s like your mind didn’t ‘see’ them because it was too preoccupied with worries and other cares. You just are not tuned in enough to His gentle sweet touches and perhaps are doubting His ways. Did you see Him give little clues that He is with you and trying to encourage you? Today you saw it, and it opened up your mind to many more little ‘coincidences’ He has coordinated for you—a date or word you read during your cave time is read in class and so many other little such things. It says the miracles of His Word are only found by His lovers. He is placing His presence all around you at different moments to ‘see’ so you will feel comfortable believing that He will come when He said He would, even if you don’t see or hear of any big events. The people of Noah’s day didn’t see any signs or have any indication of the greatest catastrophe on earth coming down on them…only His Word! Like only the sign of Jonah! It is in the Scriptures, yet ‘they’ just don’t get it, can’t comprehend it, have rejected it, compromised and gone into the world, and so because they are not His lovers, they are not privy to His secrets. You have to trust your Husband that He knows what He is doing. He is the head of your household, and it is His responsibility to care for all those under Him in His care. He may not be able to tell you all His burdens, but He will gently encourage His loved ones with sweet love gifts. He will tell you what you need to know, and as a lovely wife, you will leave in His hands the things you don’t need to necessarily know. It so pleases His heart when his wife follows without question because she has totally put her life into His capable hands! These are little tests He uses to find His most devoted, trusting wives. But yet He doesn’t leave you without leaving His loving Presence all throughout your day, on your path and through the lines of Word you read. Those sweet reminders just make you thrill and anticipate His soon coming all the more. His little love notes make you smile, for He is lovingly leading the way and making sure you are still following. Don’t give up the scent but keep smelling for His Presence, the wind of His spirit, the wafts of His breath!(End)
Lisa: I had a thought…….I wonder what date it is if I subtract 313 days from 4th April, 2026. So I did that on the internet with a date calculator and got 26th May, 2025. I then looked up the MB blog post for that date and here it is! Here’s the sign my Lover was waiting to give me! Jesus, You are wonderful!

WORKING WITH THE CARNAL MIND OR THE MIND OF THE SPIRIT…HEAVENLY THOUGHT POWER
January 06, 2025…Prophecy
It’s your choice, of course, whether you continue to operate in the workshop of your carnal mind (white magic) or move to the workshop of your spiritual mind (gold magic). But those that work with the tools of the spirit produce products of far superior quality. The majority of us have two shops going at the same time, and this method produces mediocre products. Why don’t you close the shop of the carnal mind and work solely and wholly in the spiritual mind? Surely by now you can see the difference in the products you’re producing?
Besides, all the things you are producing in the carnal fitting shop can be produced in the spirit shop and the quality is always guaranteed. You can cook in the spirit, you can clean in the spirit, and you can look after baby in the spirit. But just try and take some of those tools from your carnal workshop and see if you can produce something with them in the spirit shop? Like for example a prophecy, or witnessing, or living by faith, or a really cool song about Heaven, or overcoming a sickness that no medicines are able to heal. It makes sense to close down that second-rate carnal shop and move. You don’t need to move lock, stock and barrel either; those tools at the old shop, as I told you, are useless to the spirit. Aren’t you tired of working it all up in the flesh? Look at the junk the world produces; it is almost always corrupt, just plastic scrap. They’ve turned the earth into a scrap heap with their carnal-minded ways. You’d be wise to move shop now because very soon everyone is going to be required to close down those ineffective, carnal-minded methods of production and go spiritual. There will be nothing like lucre-fuel to excite their ambitious ways; just the pure, clean, pollution-free Word of God to motivate and drive the engines of progress when those carnal workshops start getting refitted. It starts in the mind with a good scrub down and spring cleaning, all old sketches and blueprints are burned, all old carnal machinery tossed and the empty space refitted with new machines of the spirit; a totally different type of industrial revolution. You really should make a push on this and beat the crowd. If you don’t know where to start, then go to the office, sit down at the drawing board and get a prophecy. Once the first step is complete, go out into the workshop and follow the instructions laid down on the sketch; it really isn’t any different to what Noah did.
Here’s a good one. Go into your carnal-minded workshop with this sketch of the latest eagle wings’ design; get your very best machines to work and try fitting the wings to your carnal carcass. No wonder the word “impossible” has become a catch word in the world of carnality. Now with the sketch, go over to your well-fitted, but not yet well-utilized spirit shop and start working on fitting those wings to your spirit body… Please leave all old shop machinery behind…Ahh…ha! Now it all starts to make sense. It was the atmosphere in that old shop; every spirit sketch you looked at seemed upside down and in some strange language. Be wise and don’t think you know more about boat building than Noah. The Ark you are trying to build is just as difficult to construct but no less impossible to complete. Every time Noah came to a difficult-to-understand angle, perpendicular or curve, he made a beeline for the drawing board and conferred with the Draftsman who was always happy to give him more details on how to proceed.
Perhaps your motivation is a little off beam; perhaps you’re thinking the big refitting project won’t happen and the worldliness will continue on for eternity. Wow, not even the most carnal-minded workshop owners believe that. In the back of their workshops, they are drawing a sketch for habitation on a new planet, because they know that resources for their life of materialism are running out. Well I’m glad, and the Designer has a big surprise for them, and you too if you continue on in that vein of thinking. Again it’s that silly carnal mind producing silly thoughts and ideas that will be a total waste of time in the day of refitting.
As I was saying yesterday, all these sketches and designs are Mine; some are already being used up here in Heaven, but most will be used down on earth very soon to help refit the millions of workshops that I’m expecting to go into operation just as soon as I get My full team down there and into place. So don’t throw those sketches away, keep them well stored in those intimate chambers of your mind. I’ve stored them there just for that reason. And just in case you were wondering why it seems so difficult to operate those spirit machines; well, it’s because I deliberately made it that way. And the reason for that is because I love seeing you at My door needing an adjustment or to asking about how this fits into that, or how that wraps around this. My sketches are designed in such a way that in order to make good products, you need to spend a lot of time with Me in My office working over the designs. I know your carnal shop mentality thinks that is such a silly waste of time, but keep telling your carnal mind it’s the one being silly. I assure you, in time your carnal mind will stop bothering you as your desire for being with Me increases. In fact you may even get to a point where you don’t even want to work in the workshop anymore, but prefer working with Me at the draft board. (End)
P.S. Another interesting 313 number I found when searching on the internet was that 313 A.D. was an important year in Christian Church history. Constantine’s famous Edict of Milan, in 313, officially ended the severe persecution of Christians since 303 A.D. by the Roman state. And here’s what Dad had to say about that from 7000 years of World History Part III!
POWER POPULARITY AND PLENTY!
- If God hadn’t hardened Rome against the Christians in those early days, they never would have scattered so far and so fast as they did, and would have become part of the establishment even sooner than they did-about 200 years later.”Power popularity and plenty are dangerous, so watch out! “When the Early Church became numerous big rich and powerful and no longer needed God she lost Him!” “Within two or three generations they had slowed down spiritually stopped evangelising the world cooled off in their ardor grown cold in their love and frozen together into the same Roman system from which they had dropped out.”
“They got to the point where they thought they had arrived and overthrown the temporal power of Rome and it now rested in their own hands they became the Roman Catholic Church and the Church ruled Rome and it became the Holy Roman Empire! The Church had arrived and they were satisfied! They had power wealth glory! They had taken over the world…or all of Europe and what they thought was the only advanced civilized part of the world that was important to them. Then they more or less sat down and were satisfied and they quit really progressing. But they hadn’t…conquered India nor China nor Russia nor Africa nor Asia the Americas nor the islands of the sea. But they slowed virtually to a standstill.” “Christianity became accepted recognised popular powerful wealthy and dictatorial and became Rome itself!
- [In 311 A.D.Galerius recognised Christianity. In 313 A.D. the Edict of Milan proclaimed religious toleration and in 324 A.D., Constantine the Great becomes the first Christian Emperor! The next major persecution against the rule followers of Christ were done some years later by the established Church itself-the Church and State had become the same.] “The Church had become the Empire and continued to persecute and continued to persecute and attempt to destroy the tiny little bands of genuine Christians who lived on in spite of it even in the Catacombs beneath the city itself and in far-off lands free from the long arm of Rome! For a thousand years of the Dark Ages the true Church had to go underground ….because the Roman Empire was revived in the new so-called Holy Roman Empire of the Roman Catholic Church whose dominions power wealth and expansion far outreached the former boundaries of Rome and outlived the decadent Empire.” (End of article)
P.P.S. I was remembering the post I mentioned above that I took a quote from May 22, 2025 (There’s a link to that whole blog post) that the number was very special…a 22 number as well as 522 being mirrored 2025 or 225. So I decided to look up Strong’s #522 and when I opened my phone, guess what time it was…5:22 am! Ha!
In Hebrew it is used once and is the name of a hill in Palestine. It means ‘cubit’ All I can think of here is that the important buildings like Temples and Palaces used the Royal cubit which was a hands breadth longer than the common cubit. The Temples were built using the Royal cubit. Seeing as we, our bodies are the Temple now we are made with the Royal cubit as well, and our hands of prayer/prophecy are the extra hand width??
In Greek it occurs three times and is a variation of the same verse. It means: to take away, to remove, to lift off or carry away. (Sounds like “Flying”)
Matthew 9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bride chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
Mark 2:20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
Luke 5:35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
Here again, just thinking, because we, Children of David, have been taught Loving Jesus intimately, the Bridegroom is always with us, so we never need to be apart. [Podcast of this blog (Audio)]
