Family of God / William J. Gaither
I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God,
I've been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His Blood!
Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod,
For I'm part of the family,
The Family of God
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read 2 Corinthians 4:
Treasures in Jars of ClayI also woke this morning from A DREAM: Everyone was given an assigned number to wear. My number was #35 or it contained the number 35. I had to gain weight until I got up to that number, which meant I would have to eat constantly, or continuously, until I got very huge, the thought of which was not very appealing to me. One of my concerns was that I would throw up, because I am not a big eater, and I have space limits in my body for food intake. Another concern was that I would become unattractive to someone who sat to my left. I pictured in my mind that I would have elephant-like legs.
Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Anyway, there were people who were adding what appeared to be miniature tables (round ones) to my back. The tables were yellow or gold in color. Somehow these were adding the needed weight to my body, yet I felt as though this was somehow cheating the system. I was concerned that I would get caught cheating or that they would realize that I had not really gained the required weight. END
My Understanding: I read several news stories, which I will reference below. The Lord used this dream, I believe, to reveal to me, his servant, what is really going on behind the scenes in these stories and also for the purpose of exposing the lies in these news stories. So, I will share with you the understanding of this dream, in relation to these news stories, the songs and the scripture, which I believe the Lord has given to me, his servant, today.
All through this reading of these news stories I kept wondering what was meant by the number “35.” It was not until the end of the last story that I learned its significance. The number 35 represents prisoners or people in general throughout the world considered by our government in the USA (in cooperation with the N.W.O.) to be “terrorists” who would inevitably face war crime charges against them. I believe, as well, that my body represents the USA and/or the church in the USA, and it is the church throughout the world that is being targeted as “terrorists” for imprisonment and for extinction. Having an assigned number to wear brought to mind Hitler’s regime where certain people groups were targeted for capture and extinction. This is coming to America, too, and I believe it is soon.
I was being forced to gain weight via consumption of food on a continuous basis. What I learned concerning this weight gain is that it has to do with the US/NATO/N.W.O. Alliance in Iraq and Afghanistan and throughout the world. The weight gain being forced upon me, which required continuous eating, is represented in these increasingly shameless attacks against innocent civilians as well as against NATO troops, in widespread and increased government corruption (worldwide), in war crimes committed by US/NATO/N.W.O. leaders and troops, in confiscating nations’ natural resources and lands, in the spread of insurgency at the hands of the US/NATO/N.W.O. Alliance, in human lives continuously being put in danger, in the alarming increase in the number of violent attacks against civilians and troops, and the increase of deaths of civilians and troops (6,200 US troops killed); in widespread fraud at the hands of the Alliance, and in our government’s HUGE budget deficit.
I was concerned about this assignment of the number, the forced weight gain, the constant eating (consuming; devouring of life) that would be required to gain the weight, and the cheating of the system to get to that required weight gain. I saw that this concern was equal to the length of time in these wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and to the loss of human life; to concern over government corruption, particularly in the US Government, and these increased attacks on civilians and soldiers alike; concern over the unprecedented pressure on the “enemies” of the N.W.O. who are against what they/we are doing worldwide; our government’s HUGE budget deficit and Obama’s jobs bill; concerns over detainee provisions and civil liberties being violated; concern over turning our military into judge, jury, and jail for “terrorist” suspects, i.e. for you and me; and concern over these “supplemental” police forces being added on (the tables), which partners local and federal police together with the military into secretive SS (Hitler’s) squads operating throughout the world and within the US, too. I was also concerned about “throwing up,” i.e. concern about a state of despair.
There were people who were adding tables (gold colored and round) to my back as a supplement to my eating and as a means of cheating the system. I believe this is represented primarily in the takeover of the world by the N.W.O. and in these private police (equal to Hitler’s SS) military units being placed throughout the world behind the backs of the people of these nations, in particular behind the backs of the people in the USA and behind the back of the church in the USA, which falls under the authority (the mouth and head doing all the eating) of the US government. This is also represented in these “thugs” on every street corner around the world and in every nation; in more regions throughout the world and the US coming under “Taliban,” i.e. N.W.O. control; in the N.W.O. (the Alliance) secretly arming once again (a reprise of Hitler’s regime, only worldwide); in the cheating of the system (our present form of government and laws); and in all money (the gold color of the tables) going into the hands of military leaders and government bureaucrats (this secret police and government taking place and control), i.e. our taxes are paying for this.
This adding of these round, gold-colored, tables to my back as a supplement to my eating is also represented in public support of the war, i.e. when we support our government and troops, we are supporting the takeover of the world by the “beast” and we are supporting the killing of innocents and the killing of believers in Jesus Christ. We, the American public, have little understanding of the problems that these wars have created, i.e. most Americans have no knowledge of what is really going on behind the scenes and what they are really supporting when they pledge allegiance to the USA flag and our government system and when they support our US troops and what we are doing in these wars. We, as Americans, are generally blinded to what all our government and troops are involved in with this takeover of the world, including inside the USA, but soon all will be in place and it will become a stark reality, and there will be much despair when the truth comes out.
The subtle party unity spoken of in the article about Obama’s bill has to do with my body with these tables on and behind my back. These tables also represent a balanced way to guarantee everyone contributes their reasonable part, spoken about in this article, which includes this being done in secret, behind the backs of the American public and is supported through lies, deception, government corruption and the cheating of the system in order for the N.W.O. to take a firm hold in the USA. And, many of our leaders in Congress are behind this and are supporting this takeover of the USA by the N.W.O. and by force.
To The Word
Paul is speaking here, in 2 Corinthians 4, concerning the ministry of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is through God’s mercy that we, God’s true servants, have this ministry of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. We, as the Lord’s servants, do not or should not use deception, nor do we or should we distort the word of God. Rather, we have renounced or should renounce secret and shameful ways. We should set forth the truth plainly and in so doing, we should commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. We should not preach ourselves, i.e. we should not glorify our own selves but rather we should give all the glory, honor and praise to God, and we should do the work of servants of the Lord, i.e. we are merely the vessels through whom God does his work.
We must always have an honest picture of our own selves, i.e. that God has placed this ministry of sharing the gospel within clay vessels, i.e. we are human beings who are subject to failure and human weakness. God places his ministry within us to show that the power of the gospel to change human lives does not come from us and from our human wisdom and understanding, but it comes from God. I believe that is why God often gives believers tasks and spiritual gifts that are different and perhaps even opposite of their natural abilities, in order to show that the power of the gospel comes from God and not from us.
There will be people who will accept the message of the gospel, yet there will also be many who will reject the gospel message. Satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. They do not understand the truth of the gospel message because they have been blinded and thus they are perishing in their sins. And, there will be among these unbelievers those whom Satan will use as his instruments to come against the Lord’s servants to persecute, to pressure, to crush, to try to bring to despair, to strike down (kill) and to try to destroy God’s true church made up of his true servants who have not abandoned Christ or his gospel.
Yet, we are to be encouraged, and we are not to lose heart when these things take place, and they will take place because the Bible says they will. We are God’s children and thus Satan has no real power over us nor do his followers. They may be able to kill us in body, but they cannot destroy our souls or separate us from God’s love. We, as followers of Jesus Christ and we, as his servants, will always carry around with us, in our body, the death of Christ, which is what this dream is about, i.e. the persecution and killing of Christ’s followers, especially those who are sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, which stands as a direct affront and threat to Satan and to his kingdom here on this earth.
Yet, God allows this to take place just like he allowed his only Son to die on the cross, because when we are persecuted for our faith in Jesus Christ, the life of Christ is ever more revealed in our lives by how we respond to those persecutions. We have the hope of eternal life, so we should never despair even in the direst of circumstances. Though outwardly we may waste away, yet inwardly we can be renewed day by day via the Holy Spirit’s grace at work within us. Although Paul and his fellow servants went through great suffering for their faith and their witness for Jesus Christ, he described his present suffering as “light and momentary troubles” that were achieving for them an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So, this weight gain in this dream also represents these troubles that many are facing now and that we, in America, will soon be facing, too. Yet, we are always to keep the perspective of eternity and to realize that what we have awaiting us on the other side far outweighs the troubles we will go through in this life.
So, we fix our eyes not on what is seen, i.e. the troubles we will encounter in this life, but we fix our eyes on Jesus and on eternity. What we will face in this life, no matter how difficult, is temporary, but what we have awaiting us with Jesus in heaven is eternal, so we should never, ever give up to the enemy of our souls in despair, but we should remain strong in the Lord Jesus Christ and in his power within us to conquer our foe and to be victorious even in the greatest suffering we will ever experience in our lives.
Jesus, Rescue Me / An Original Work / September 18, 2011
Based off of Romans 7:7-8:39
Jesus, rescue me today.
Listen while I bow and pray.
I need Your help to obey You;
Live for You always.
Meet me in my hour of need, Lord,
As I pray to You.
Help me walk in fellowship, Lord,
Living in Your truth.
Jesus, how I long for You to
Change my heart anew.
Father, God, my heart’s desire
Is to live for You this hour
In Your Holy Spirit’s power
Living in me now.
Teach me to walk in Your love, Lord,
Guiding me each day.
Help me to show love and kindness
To the lost, I pray.
Father, teach me to love others
As You love always.
Holy Spirit come in pow’r.
Revive our hearts in this hour.
Change our hearts to be like You, Lord;
Live for You each day.
Help us to forsake our sins, Lord,
As we humbly pray.
Teach us how to live for You, Lord,
Obey You always.
Holy Spirit come in power,
Revive us today.
