For the LayPerson on Meat: Righteousness by Faith

[Admin]

Greetings readers, we present to you a simple but long presentation of the topic Righteousness by Faith, and how genuine faith works in the Christian life. 70 page booklet

A Meeting. Righteousness by Faith. Reviving Genuine Faith.

On Thursday at 7:00pm 8th August 2024 at a local  SDA Church the Author had a meeting for one hour, about the revival of old light that was given to A. T Jones during the General Conference session in 1888 entitled Righteousness by Faith.

The Lord began this training with me from 2012, in which I slowly learned what “genuine faith” is, using self taught Bible studies and influence from Ellen White and with Ancient Hebrew studies from the Ancient Hebrew Research Center by Jeff Benner. I stumbled across Jeff Benner way back in 2010 when I was frustrated why the KJV Bible has so many word meanings for Hebrew and Greek words. I have since learned to distrust in principle, polysemous word “translations”, however I still greatly admire the purity and accuracy the the KJV as a “translation” albeit sometimes “fuzzy”. Over the years languages have devolved into multiple word meanings, but originally the Edenic picture based Hebrew would have been a pure single basic word meaning for every word context, especially the 2 letter words and the 3 letter words. Over time even God would have allowed confusion with His own Hebrew language after Moses times, who wrote the book of Genesis for example in Ancient Hebrew script.

A good friend of mine Dr Eric Livingstone ( now deceased) of Avondale College as a lecturer in Hebrew and Greek studies influenced me somewhat over the years, but we have very different in our views on Biblical language studies, however Eric did enjoy my passion for Hebrew and Greek studies. He told me to purchase a book by James Barr “Semantics of Biblical Language” in which I read the “child root Hebrew word fallacy chapter” and so I disagreed with everything written in the chapter. I pity scholars like James Barr because only recently in the past 20 years or so, has Ancient Hebrew research been undertaken in Biblical studies. It seems God has preserved Ancient Hebrew Pictographs inside the modern Hebrew letters. And only recently has this research began to filter through conservative and traditional thought.

The fact that Israel wrote using Ancient Hebrew script is evidence by the pictures Dr Kim Young took to confirm Ron Wyatt’s visit to Mt Sinai, a doctor for the Jordan Authorities many years ago.



Here is a picture take by Dr Kim Young around Mt Sinai showing dozens of rocks carved with things like this: three lines. Scratching three lines on rock is not some modern Hebrew word script, but an Ancient Hebrew word, called K. This is the Ancient Hebrew word meaning is “palm” of hand and “palm” of foot.

There is much more evidence that just this one sample, but it is recent research, that Moses wrote in Ancient Hebrew, not modern Hebrew square script, in fact so did the whole of Israel it seems. Such a language was a picture based system.

So Ancient Hebrew words are related, and there are child root and related root words in Ancient Hebrew, a language that is functional, broad and concrete, not as Greek is, a language that is very descriptive, imaginative and detailed.
Over the years pastors have become Hellenized rather than Hebraic in their Bible, affecting their understanding of God and His salvation.

During a recent 4 year battle with a Gnostic Christian, in which we both published on a public forum more than 2,000 posts, I learned that my theory of faith was just a theory and not confirmed, because nobody else had experienced it. I prayed about this and agreed, that unless I find somebody else to agree with this theory of faith, the matter would always be unconfirmed. Science requires confirmation of any theory, by somebody else doing the same experiments, before general acceptance is published.

So on a random day, during July in 2024, the Spirit leading and guiding, I stumbled across a Pastor Charles Mills from the His Vine Free SDA church and I watched a video about Faith, and so listened to Pastor Mills speak of the greatest man who wrote on the subject of faith, A. T Jones. I didn’t think much of the Pastor’s sermon, but he challenged me to investigate this man, whom I had heard of, as some pioneer along with Waggoner, during an event in 1888 called Righteousness by Faith. Like any typical SDA member, I was taught the only inspired writers was Scripture and Ellen White, nobody else.

So out of curiosity I downloaded and read all the personal publishing’s of A. T Jones myself.

Than the Lord showed me from a truly independent source, the confirmation of this theory of faith, trained from the Lord for over 12 years, was actually true. What surprised me was it was the same light presented to the Church over 136 years ago, to get the Church to enter the end of time and allow Jesus to come. But we did not embrace the light, this Righteousness by Faith, and so both Jones and Waggoner left the Church for various personal reasons, the the light brought to them was not developed or published further by them. How sad for our church, but how exciting to experience this new light about faith.

This training of “genuine faith” , as Mrs White calls the term, is not about absolute truth, for all truth is progressive and thus nobody is right or wrong regarding faith, for God saves us “as a firebrand plucked from the fire” ( Zec 3:2) a favourite “precious promise” of mine. What this light is about, is preparing a remnant people to enter the end of time with a practical understanding of the Righteousness by Faith, so we develop “genuine faith” for ourselves, as the Lord has trained me to experience so far.

For indeed it only takes a spark to get a fire going,
and soon all those around will warm up in it’s glowing
that’s how it is with God’s love
Once you have experienced it
You’ll spread His love like a dove
You’ll want to pass it on...

Now the easiest way to experience “practical genuine faith” is to “taste and see if the Lord is good” (Ps 34:8). I pose we teach in a series of lessons how “genuine faith” works in the Christian life, so that others will revive this old light, the Lord wanted our Church to experience since 1888, so we are ready to enter the last days, with a progressive more genuine faith, before the global lock downs begin during 2025.

Now while many of us perish from a lack of knowledge, the experience and learning of knowledge is deep and complex. However experience and self discovery is the only way we learn, being spoon fed by teachers is not learning. Not responding is not learning. Not asking questions is not learning. You can teach advice but never promote experience. Experience takes time and thus we have to develop this ourselves in the Lord by practising this genuine faith. This is why the propensities over our soul is removed slowly as we gain experience and confidence in the Lord Jesus, we learn to trust in His development of character in us ( Ex 23:21; Ex 23:30). This is why we often fail experimenting with “precious promises” because we lack experience, and experience is something learned by trust.


Most of us we drink milk all our lives and do not seek the Scriptures in an Ancient Hebrew context and understanding, nor do we understand the purpose of Ellen White messages, as our Ancient Hebrew translator into English.

So let us develop some knowledge about faith first....
Here is in the Bible New Testament (NT), is how we are saved:

Ro 10:1 ¶ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (KJV)

Coupled with this famous verse saying the same idea:

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (KJV)

So if we take the King James Version as it reads, we have underlined certain important words in these verses

1) Submitted
2) Faith
3) Believed

What do all these important words listed here mean? How does a layperson reading the Bible New Testament, learn correctly what these important words mean?

In the passage Israel did not “submit”, so sought to establish their own righteousness using traditions and precepts of men. They did what was right in their own eyes (Jg 17:6). We might call this righteousness by faith, legalism; and it means little to the Lord (Ro 10:3). God calls these sort of people lukewarm. Cain is an example of this method of faith and it has been common in the SDA Church too for years.

In the passage about “faith” we have no details of what “faith” means from the context given, nor from the OT where words are quoted.

In the word “believe” we also do not understand.

So if you are not learned, what do you do? Do you just trust some learned scholar to explain the important words to you? What is wrong with that idea? Don’t churches around the world do this sort of thing all the time? What does the Scriptures say about this ?

Isa 29:12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. (KJV)

What is the Bible result of humans asking other learned men to “translate”, for them, since I am not learned?

( Note: “translate” is a term we use in Hebrew thinking. It is a broad term to mean how we get understanding from words, this process is called translation, and the word specifically can also mean to “expound” to “learn deeply” to “interpret” ; scholars use fancy terms:

First used here Isa 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue - God is making a prophecy statement that the Hebrew is translated in another tongue such as Greek and English

And used in the NT as the Greek word “expound” or “interpret” here

Lu 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he “expounded” unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself

to find other verses using the same word, use a electronic Bible with interlinear such as I do for $20 for the software "Power BibleCD is Copyright 2003” simple easy to use, do not need anything more complex than this. Such software also makes all verses of a word easy to collect and publish or read - great for understanding what the word meaning might be .

On the following page the software is shown to readers. Some will find this hard to fathom, for it takes a long time using such Bible study to ascertain truth. Yes it does. But this is what stronger meat means, over say simpler milk (1Co 3:2 ) . Milk is wholesome food packaged for immediate assimilation for growing in the truth (Heb 5:12). Stronger meat like solid food is packaged in fibre and other words not so helpful, so the digestive system of the mind has to eat the truth more slowly and with greater care. But such strong meat promises greater experiences of growth (Heb 5:13, 14) , than just eating simple wholesome foods like simple sugars in milk. Learn to experience the similes God grants to us so we compare the earthly world of poetry to the spiritual domain of poetry (Rom 1:20). Such functions are similes of each other. And of course time is never an excuse in Bible study, “Call on me” ( Jer 33:3) is a precious promise that allows for time, and God promises to sustain you biologically on “precious promises” because “faith” is a “food” just as “manna” is (De 8:3 ) . We will prove all this soon.

For example here is the Interlinear switched on and the Greek word for “expound” clicked on, and I can look for all verses using this word in a single mouse click. )

So what is the Bible result of humans asking other learned men to “translate”, for them, since I am not learned?

Isa 29:12 ..Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

Isa 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: (KJV)


Notice the Bible explains this kind of learning as dangerous...

Jesus quotes this OT verse explaining the verse this way:


Mt 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 ¶ And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. (KJV)


Notice Jesus says to leave them alone. Let the blind remain blind.

So who is this Jesus, who quotes the OT and gets inspired humans to write His messages in the NT? Is there a Bible verse linking a Divine Person to both holy writings?


Ho 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. (KJV)



So this YHWH-Lord is the Author of both the former rains (OT) and the latter rains (NT).


Where does Scripture speak of rain as sacred writings?


Ex 16:4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my “law”, or no. (KJV)

(Note: “law” means “teachings” but the KJV has done a great job using “law” to show how special and sacred the Father’s teachings really are.

2Ch 15:3 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

So obviously a priest cannot be teaching as a lawyer does with laws?
This has to mean a teaching priest with sacred teachings?

For those who consider “law” refers to only the first five books of Moses based on traditions and precepts of men:

Jos 24:26 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God,

So that makes Joshua a sixth book of the law?

Consider this verse which uses related words to “YRH, TWRH and YWRH” using Jeff Benner spelling of these Ancient Hebrew words.

De 11:14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

So this makes the Father’s active hands throwing down as “droplets of letters unto parchment as powers” for us to absorb His writings and grow by them using a process of faith which Ellen White terms “appropriating the precious promises unto thyself” )

So this same YHWH wrote the OT in Moses time and the NT for John's time. 

This means Jesus-YHWH is the Author of both the OT and the NT. How does this affect the layperson reading His words, the words of Jesus? It should tell you don’t just rely on the NT words of Jesus, read the older more foundation OT words first.

Where is this idea spelled out in the place where the Bible should be read, according to the Bible?

Isa 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

(Note: “believeth” is Hebrew “aman” a word meaning “affirming-faith” - so even here where the Bible teaches how the Bible should be studied, the word “affirming-faith” is also teaching FAITH is important. This will be proven to readers shortly as you read further)

Jesus was that foundation stone, first He told Moses to write the Father’s rain down as words onto parchment of sheep skin.

Now he tells us to read the Bible beginning from its foundation stone, the rock that followed Israel - using the principles of faith -


So where does the NT writers proclaim Jesus as YHWH?


1Co 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. (KJV)

( Note: the Cela rock of Jesus-YHWH sits on top of the flint foundation rock Father-YHWH, and is pictured here as the palms of the hand with all the fingers in three groupings, two to the left, two to the right and the thumb on it’s own. This picture was taken by Dr Kim Young, a doctor for Jordan rulers many years ago. Mt Sinai is in the country of Jordan. This rock is massive, about 5 stories high, a human is about the size of the letter “s in stones”.)

So if you want to make the NT more foundational to your doctrinal learning, you have to study first the OT, which is the oldest writings of the Jesus-YHWH. 

Than study His later writings in the light of the former light.

If you don't do this you will be like the "blind leading the blind".


But why Hebrew, what is wrong with English?


The Bible teaches you how the Bible should studied. We begin on milk.


Isa 28:9 ¶ Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. (KJV)

Milk is wholesome simple food easy to digest, for those who are babes in Christ. We all start on the milky doses of the Bible and begin to grow in our faith in Jesus.


How is this milky growing achieved?


Isa 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: (KJV)


This verse is poetry and difficult to fathom. When you find poetry that is not easily understood, ask a prophet, somebody you know to be inspired, or ask the Holy Spirit to tutor you directly from your own studies. (Do not consult the traditions and precepts of men)



The line upon line, refers to Bible lines, the scribes wrote the Bible words on lines etched into the clay or skin parchment, so the writings would be straight. So we are studying line upon lines of Bible verses, here a little and there a little all over the sacred writings, looking at many different passages.



Consider the simile to a baby? Would you feed a baby the simple foods , easy to digest over and over again? Or give the baby a variety of simple foods to make sure the baby gets all the best nutrition it can? Also what about solid foods that are not easy to digest, also full of fibre which intentionally slows down the passage of food digestion?


What is wrong with drinking milk your entire life ? Well if you are drinking milk to process faith in Jesus in milky doses all throughout you life, that is fine, because GOD only expects you to live up to the light you experience:


Ro 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another


But why would you be happy to grow a little on milk when eating stronger meat, promises are greater joy and experience in Jesus (Luke 7:47 )?


Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. (KJV)

So how was the latter rains processed according to a former rain prophecy regarding the New Testament writings?

Isa 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.



Notice the Hebrew OT makes a prophecy that with stammering lips the messages of Jesus in the latter rains, goes out in another tongue, that language was Kione Greek.

And we will soon see "in another tongue" means the message was translated.



But the language was a “translation” because the message went out with “stammering lips”, not as clear as it was in the Hebrew originally.


Isa 28:12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.



The Greek NT is refreshing, but the Gentiles still would not hear.


Isa 28:13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.



And the Bible says to study the Greek for truth in the same way as you study the Hebrew for truth, a little here and a little there, looking up all the lines across the whole passages on some theme. But notice the people fall backward and are broken and snared. The Greek NT is not as foundational for truth as the Hebrew OT is. You can go back to a Hebrew understanding of the NT, using the LXX as a guide or cross referencing to match Hebrew words to the Greek Words.


But why do this?


Isa 28:14 ¶ Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:



This passage suggests to me the Scribes which are rulers over men, where not always honourable and holy in their task as scribes.

Well how do you know if your translator is not deceiving you?

That the Bible words in your language is fuzzy at best, or lies of deception?

Our Hebrew English translator never comments upon translation problems because our Teacher tells us what to do in this matter:

Matthew 15: 14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. (KJV)

Hence Ellen White messages say nothing about this problem. Nor should we. However that did not stop the Divine Teacher from translating the Hebrew words using His own way, instead of the traditions and precepts of men.



Question: Why did Jesus have to “translate” the Scriptures in Hebrew to Hebrew reading disciples? 


Lu 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (KJV)


This word "expound" should be "translated", because here is the same Greek word in other verses:


Ac 9:36 ¶ Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by "interpretation" is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and alms deeds which she did.



Again, a different English word, the word should be "translated"


1Co 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all "interpret"?



Again the word "interpret" should be "translate" .



1Co 14:21 ¶ In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.



Notice Paul is quoting the OT verse



and than says



1Co 14:27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one "interpret".



Again the word "interpret" should be "translate" .

So the OT saying "speak in another tongue" was picked up by the Greek detailed language as meaning "translate".

Seems like even in Jesus day, the humans had trouble with reading even the Hebrew, because it was “translated” to them by the Scribes and Pharisees, with their own traditions and precepts of men.


Jesus speaks of this : Mt 5:21 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,


People were used to “hearing” the Scriptures, rather than “reading” the Scriptures for themselves, so the “translators translated” the Hebrew writings using traditions and precepts of men. What Jesus is doing in this verse, is speaking of the sacred writing in a renewed translation, that came with better wisdom and power.

So when people explain words to others in their own language, they are really "translating" or "expounding" or "interpreting" same idea, because Hebrew word meaning are broad, but Greek word meanings are more narrow.

(Note: What kind of translating Jesus did to His Hebrew reading disciples is hard to fathom, however we are invited by our Great Teacher to learn this process of a renewed translation:

The King James Version reads : Ge 49:18 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.

And using a renewed translation Jesus might we have said

Ge 49:18 I have waited for thy Yashah Yhwh. (Possible Jesus translation)

This confirms to me that Jesus-YHWH is actually a functional description of a Divine Son. Just as the Father-YHWH is. And this is how you would write it, Jesus-YHWH with a space between, it’s not a description as Greek is, a name, but as Hebrew is, a functional descriptor.

Where in Scripture are there two LORDS in Scripture at the same time?

Ge 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; (KJV)


Now let’s get our readers back to how the Scriptures tell us how to be saved:

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (KJV)

This word “believed” is also mentioned here in the NT:

Ro 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.(KJV)

This method of quoting the OT by the NT is important because it allows simple laypeople like myself to match word meanings in the NT to the foundational word meanings in the OT, the Hebrew.

Ge 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.


So what is this Hebrew word ?

Using a simple Interlinear Bible software program, you can read the Hebrew word is “aman”.

It is the word "aman" and most English people are familiar with this word even in English. We say aman on the end of our prayers. So what does Aman mean?

In order to answer this question we need to show readers two ways to confirm how a simple layperson like myself guarantees that the Bible study we do is in fact confirmed by at least two independent witnesses to any truth we wish to discover.

The Scripture tell us that on the basis of two witnesses any truth can be established (De 17:6).

The first witness is the Ancient Hebrew pictures within the word itself, tells you clues to what the word meaning means.

Now to make this witness process simple for a layperson like myself, we went through each word meaning in Ancient Hebrew script finding a single basic function for each letter. These are the letters and the single basic functional meaning:

   A means strong. Divinely strong or human strong.

B means Home. Divine heavenly home or earthly family home.

C means walk. Divine walk or human walk.


D means door. Heavenly door or Human door to your mind.

E means “Behold the Person” Divine Being or Human being.


F means secure. Usually a reference to the Father who is secure.



G means twisting. Clockwise and counterclockwise twisting.

H means Outside. Protecting the inside from the outside.

( There seems no I word in Ancient Hebrew letters?)



J means authority. Divine authority or human authority.


  K means palms. Divine palms or human palms. Also palms of feet.


  L means active. Divine active hands or human active hands.


  M means flow. Divine flow or human flow.


N means “over the nations” to continue over usually “nations”.


  O means see. Divine seeing or human seeing.


  P means mouth. Divine speaking or human speaking.


  Q means unknown. The things like sun beyond the horizon.



   R means head. Divine head or human head.


S means press. Pressing hard to cut. Divine press or human press.


  T means “important mark” Usually a divine important mark



U means “basket of good things”

(There appears no W or V in Ancient Hebrew, maybe came from F ?)


X means outgrowth. Usually thorns.


    Y means travelling.


  Z means ploughing. Like a mattock that also ploughs.



Now that you know all of the letters of Ancient Hebrew, does it surprise you how they are the same as English letters? God is very clever indeed in getting His Hebrew into another tongue (Isa 28:11).


Here is a 3500 inscription on a rock, showing two letters, the bull and the shepherd staff. What meaning is this word spelled as “AL” ?

The word meaning is “Strong Authority”.


Ps 80:10 The hills were covered .. (with).. the goodly "'el" cedars ('erez).. (KJV)

The hills were covered (with) the strong authority of cedars

Ps 36:6 Thy righteousness is like the great "'el" mountains (harar).. (KJV)

Thy righteousness is like the strong authority of mountains

Isa 57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols "'el".. (KJV)

Enflaming yourselves with (other) strong authorities (idols)

Eze 32:21 The strong "'el" among the mighty (gibbowr).. (KJV)

The strong authority among the mighty humans..

Ps 5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. (KJV)

For thou are not a strong authority that hath pleasure in wickedness, neither shall dysfunction dwell with thee.

Notice how the Ancient Hebrew is the same basic word meaning for all verses that use “AL” while the King James Version struggled with making this word meaning a single basic meaning.



What about the word meaning for this word, written in both Ancient Hebrew pictures and modern Hebrew square script.

“The strong authority secure. Behold the Being!”

This can refer to our Heavenly Father or some other false powerful father figure pretending to be like the Most High.

It is spelt in Ancient Hebrew as ALFE or in modern Hebrew spelling as ELAH similar or Muslim as ALAH. We would never know the exact spelling or sounds as Ancient Hebrew is a dead language, so all the rules of grammar and spellings are lost, although we could make some good assumptions of things from existing languages.




Here is the Hebrew word “elohiym” Notice the pictures the Author has placed with the letters of this word. Also notice the Strong Authority secure of a Divine Being who powers flow, is meant as a single fountain of love, not three independent flows of love.


Here is the word for “the strong home”
Who is the “strong home” ?

Let’s do a little Bible study about Hebrew words. Take these two verses using the Hebrew word “AB”


Ps 22:4 Our fathers trusted in thee:
Song 6:11 I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley,

Now dear readers what English word means a father and a fruit, but cannot mean both? Meaning a father is never a fruit.

Ancient Hebrew words should always have a single basic meaning.

Try this broader meaning for AB

Ps 22:4 Our providers trusted in thee:
Song 6:11 I went down into the garden of nuts to see the providers of the valley,

And notice a father cannot be a fruit, but can be a provider
Fruits are also providers but can never be a father.

So AB really means a Provider, and can in the context of earthly things refer to a father. So the Most High Strong Authority functions as a heavenly provider.

Now that I have explained the process of our first witness to establish truth, let’s investigate the second witness, our Hebrew English translator.

Using legacy.egwritings.org we search for “heavenly provider”

The heavenly Provider of all foods will not leave His people in ignorance in regard to the preparation of the best foods for all times and occasions.—Testimonies for the Church 7:114, 1902 {CD 267.1

Wow my first time to do this, using Ellen White with this phrase

Next we try search “Father provider"~10 this searches for a string of words with Father and provider no more than 10 words apart from each other.

Those who profess to be the children of God dishonor their Heavenly Father when they manifest unbelief. The great Provider for man and beast opens his hand, and supplies all his creatures. ..{RH September 18, 1888, par. 2}

And so my friends our second witness confirms we are on the correct track.

You can expect this process, even make a hypothesis that this science of salvation is valid, because an important concept of science is that any idea can be falsified. But beware despite my child like simple process of using these tools, (with all it’s assumptions in an attempt to keep things child like and simple) many SDA scholarly mockers mock. So you can always doubt (Mt 13:34-35). There is always room for doubting.

Let’s try a more difficult but important one

Re 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

This Greek word is "tereo” which is the same equivalent word in Hebrew as “shamar”. Verses like this one

Ps 119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

shamar Strong’s 8104 The Ancient Hebrew pictures for this word are
“the pressed flowing head” and comes in two actions.

Now Jeff Benner has no clue for the reason for the noun word meaning. And I must confess I had to ask the Lord too. It’s hard.

So let’s look at a completed action of this function:

Isa 25:6 ¶ And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. (KJV)

Jer 48:11 Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees,

So I had to do some learning about wine making and what this sludge called lees is all about.

When you place grape juice into an earthen vessel, there is some processing that goes on over time, until the processing is completed and nothing is left but sludge or lees. (Note: this does not imply the ancients added yeast to the juice, yeast is naturally present in most juice situations)

So the meaning of this word, that comes in two different actions is
“processing/processed”

Let’s consider the verses now:

Isa 25:6 ¶ And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines (that are) processed, of fat things full of marrow, of wines ( with) processed (things) well refined. (KJV)

Jer 48:11 Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his “previous processing” or “processed (things)”,

Now what about the incomplete action of this word

Ps 119:44 So shall I process thy law continually for ever and ever.

Now this idea tells me something about the royal law, that processing the royal law is a process of faith.


This faith process principle can be found from the same prayer

Ps 119:86 All thy commandments are faithful.. (KJV)

So inside the ten commandments apart from the rules regarding transgression of law condemning wicked people, as also something deeper, the principles of faith, we as lukewarm people often miss (Jg 20:16). And thus are found missing, which is defined by Paul as breaking faith (Rom 14:23).



The fact we are processing faith principles for ever is important, because if the processing is ever completed, we would stop growing in the Lord and be found wanting on our lees. The word meaning of processing is better than obedience, because obedience is a term most understand as human based strength to over come the negative aspects of the ten commandments, whereas the idea of processing the faith principles of the ten commandments is about the idea of living fully under the continual powers of Jesus love.

Consider for a moment the Ancient Hebrew pictures of shamar

“The pressed flowing head” when you press into something like the dough bread, it is a simile of fighting. When the faith process begins you have to press firmly onto a precious promise and appropriate that power flow from Jesus unto yourself. Thus you support Jesus by using His words and His power, and Jesus supports you because you asked for this support.

The idea of a yoke is also a pressing of the head, so you learn to experience Jesus who carries the greater burden and you the easier burden (Mt 11:30).

There are so many pictures we could talk for hours on this poetry object lesson, where with “obedience” this is a nebulous Greek idea that is abstract and not based on Hebrew functional thinking.

It makes “keeping” the ten words of faith so easy, if you see yourself as a head being processed as a flow from the pressing of Divine Powers.

Now lets consider the second witness, our Hebrew English translator:

Let’s try searching for “process obedience”~10 yields no results
Try “process keep”~10


After we left Minneapolis, the battle had to be fought over and over again. Time was lost, souls lost, lives imperiled, all because men felt sufficient in themselves, and were not careful to keep the way of the Lord. The testing process is going on with every individual. Every movement is made before the whole heavenly universe. Whatever position men occupy, just as soon as they lift up their souls unto vanity they are left to make their own way without the help of God. He cannot co-operate with them. {1888 1230.1}

Here is some confirmation that “process” might be also a better meaning than “keep” ? Is this a simile? Or a parallel statement?

Let’s try "keep the commandments" process; one hit, not helpful.

Let’s try “lees”

Consider this long context

All his life long, Moab has lain undisturbed like wine settled on its lees, not emptied from vessel to vessel; he has not gone into exile. Therefore the taste of him is unaltered, and the flavour stays unchanged. Jeremiah 48:11, N.E.B. {UL 170.1}

Moab did not know anything of the process of unsettling, and the people made but little moral and spiritual progress. “His taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed” (Jeremiah 48:11). {UL 170.2}
A life of monotony is not the most conducive to spiritual growth. Some can reach the highest standard of spirituality only through the breaking up of the regular order of things.... {UL 170.3}

God desires human beings to be more closely associated with Him. Therefore He takes them away from their friends and acquaintances. When God was preparing Elijah for translation, He moved him from place to place, that he might leave behind the methods and customs he had previously followed, that he might not settle down on his lees, and thus fail of obtaining moral greatness and spiritual soundness. It was God’s design that Elijah’s influence should be a power to help many souls to a more perfect experience. {UL 170.4}

Let those who are not permitted to rest in quietude, who must be constantly on the move, pitching their tent tonight in one place and tomorrow night in another place, remember that the Lord is leading them, and that this is His way of helping them to form perfect characters. In all the changes we are required to make, God is to be recognized as our Companion, our Guide, our Stronghold, and our Dependence. We are to ever be moving, advancing in knowledge, and thus it will be [that] they follow on to know the Lord. The light of His leading He will prepare as the morning. {UL 170.5}

The Lord has various ways of testing and proving His people. Again and again He has brought about changes to see whether His human agents will keep His commandments. When in His providence He sees that changes are essential for character building, He breaks up the smooth current of the life. He orders that changes shall be made, so that His worker shall not stagnate by following the regular order. {UL 170.6}

Let me ask readers from this passage, should we become fully processed like sludge or lees, or be always agitated and processing ourselves, on the go like a nomad, upward and onward every learning and processing the precious promises of the Lord by faith?

In your Bible studies there is always room to doubt and mock. What is the probability that Ellen White messages are about Hebrew thinking converted into English word meaning as a refreshing for us lay people to learn?

Time is short, and what is done must be done quickly. This is a world-wide message and we have not time to rest upon our lees. We must awake to action and duty. Is the world to be tested upon this message? It is then a worldwide message, and is not to be confined to a corner. It must be agitated, agitated. The work does not depend alone upon the ministers. The church—the lay members—must feel their individual responsibility and be working members.—Letter 25, 1874, p. 3. (To Brother and Sister Smith, May 6, 1874.) {5MR 315.2

If something is to be agitated, it is undergoing lots of processing.



Ps 16:1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust (KJV)

Is this not a fuzzy translation, does it match the Hebrew English translator, or is this better


Ps 16:1 Process me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust

Here is the idea that GOD is agitating us, processing us and making us into some tasty wine.

Ps 25:20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. (KJV)

Notice a different word meaning for shamar, keep.

What does this mean ?

Ps 25:20 Process my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

Now we have the idea that GOD is using faith on us, supporting us, using faith principles and we as humans are asking for the supportive process of faith.

Ps 39:1 ...I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. (KJV)

What does this mean to a Christian with secular people before him?

Well if we stick to the single basic meaning of this word with two forms of function we have

Ps 39:1 ...I will process my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

Here we have the Christian person praying to the Lord a precious promise, “Lord your words I speak, not mine” (Jas 3:8) while before the secular man, saying divine words, not human powered words.
On the outside we see little difference, but inside where it counts there is a good fight of faith ( 1Ti 6:12 ), and the power of Jesus is being processed by the Christian man because he is asking for power to be appropriated to himself.


So now we have a beginning like feel for the way this simple layperson understands the translation process of the sacred words using the first witness: the Ancient Hebrew pictures and the second witness: the messages from our Hebrew English translator, we can now investigate the verse we so need to understand

That word is “believe” the Hebrew word is “aman”.

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (KJV)

Ge 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

So both of these verses use “believe” in the OT and NT are based on the Hebrew word “aman” but what does this word mean?


Strong's 539 "aman" is a useful way to number the Hebrew word, as Mr Strong was the first person to number all Hebrew words, though he did a fuzzy job of numbering as explaining the word meanings. (Never trust the traditions and precepts of men)



Ancient Hebrew is our first witness for truth, and offers us clues to the word meaning:-



Aman has these pictures "The strong flow over the nations"



It is the word "aman" and most English people are familiar with this word even in English. We say aman on the end of our prayers. So what does Aman mean?

Hmm? wow where does this strong flow come from?

Well let's find the smallest word with 2 letters describing this flow:

  The Hebrew word "man" is written in Greek as "manna" and in Ancient Hebrew pictures is "flow over the nations" a thing Israel called "what is it"? they did not know, nor could they describe. It tasted like honey.

The Author believes this two letter word is the first root word for a family of words meaning faith. Jeff Benner would not agree with this idea.
Now let’s prove this idea to readers

Ex 16:4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

Notice the best poetry picture there is for faith (my two pennies) "Rain Bread"


Rain is a fluid, a flow, a simile of the Holy Spirit and a simile of the sacred writings of Scripture.
Bread is a solid, a flow, a simile of Jesus, a simile of the support of power He gives us when we eat this support by faith.

Does the Scripture support these ideas?

Ne 9:15 And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock "cela"  for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them

Let us quote Jesus-YHWH speaking in His latter rains, the NT, and to help readers, we quote the Greek word "pisteuo" as the Hebrew word "aman" , the word meaning "has faith in" or "affirming faith"

Joh 6:31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, "affirming faith", "affirming faith", I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that "has faith" on me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and "have faith" not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

Does this help readers to fathom that "man" or "manna" is the first simile of faith, the support of Jesus with our biological living.

Now to confirm this idea, using our second witness: our Hebrew English translator:

The morning meetings have been most precious. To me they have been a continual feast,—like heavenly manna to my soul. We have met Jesus in the assembly of his people. We have learned of him, and of his willingness to receive all who come to him in humble faith, taking God at his word. We have learned that if we would receive the dew of divine grace, we must allow nothing to come between God and our souls. We have seen many obtaining such a knowledge as they never had before of the true Source of spiritual strength, of moral power. {GW92 464.3}

Rob: There is this suggestion here

In the three-fold miracle of the manna, a double quantity on the sixth day, and none upon the seventh, and its keeping fresh through the Sabbath, while upon other days it would become unfit for use, was designed to impress them with the sacredness of the Sabbath. After they were abundantly supplied with food, they were ashamed of their unbelief and murmurings, and promised to trust the Lord for the future. But they soon forgot their promise, and failed at the first trial of their faith. ... {3SG 255.1}


We should live by faith on the Son of God, as the Son lived by faith in the Father. Says Christ, “As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.” Are you doing it, brethren? We read again, “This is the bread that came down from heaven; not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead; he that eateth of this bread shall live forever...RH June 11, 1889, par. 10}

Rob: Ellen White is making a parallel statement here, which poetry is both simile pictures and parallel pictures. Jeff Benner says half of the Scriptures are poetry. So these parallels, including whole parallel stories all build pictures of the Divine Themes.

Here we have wise counsel. Will we heed it? Here is healed what is the sustenance of the soul in pursuit of immortality. Will we hearken unto God? The Word of His grace is the manna from heaven to all who will eat of it in faith. In Christ Jesus is fulness of joy. “They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house: thou shalt make them to drink of the rivers of thy pleasure.” [Psalm 36:8.] {Ms10a-1898.}

ROB: Wow, thank you O Lord for confirmation from our Hebrew English translator.

So we have confirmation that indeed we are on the right track.

Faith is a simile of food.

Just as biological food supports our cells to live forever.
Faith food also supports our behaviour so we live forever.


This support has to be continual and eternal.

This explains why Jesus demonstrated the faith process on earth, appropriating to Himself the precious promises of His Father words.

This is the same as our behaviour is credited as straight when we
have faith in Jesus, appropriating the precious promises of the Father, via the Son and through the Holy Spirit to ourselves.

This process is termed the second birth and is based on the faith process.

So this “what is it:? ( Ex 16:15) is an unknown power substance we hope for (Heb 11:1).

In simple terms Faith is an flow over the nations, Israel did not know what it was. In Greek it is called manna.

The word “believe” is “A strong flow over the nations” and thus the person is “Affirming-faith”.

That is why we add “aman” to the end of our prayers because we wish to affirm our faith in Jesus.

Now notice the reading of John 3:16

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever “affirms-faith” in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (Ancient Hebrew)

Wow, suddenly the verse makes much more powerful sense.

Faith is not based on mental assent.

Notice Mrs White comments upon the idea of "assent"


Our faith at this time must not stop with an assent to, or belief in, the theory of the third angel’s message. We must have the oil of the grace of Christ that will feed the lamp, and cause the light of life to shine forth, showing the way to those who are in darkness.—Testimonies for the Church 9:155.


Ellen White "mental assent" is not enough for faith, we need the oil of His grace...


The great deceiver has many agents ready to present any and every kind of error to ensnare souls—heresies prepared to suit the varied tastes and capacities of those whom he would ruin. It is his plan to bring into the church insincere, unregenerate elements that will encourage doubt and unbelief, and hinder all who desire to see the work of God advance and to advance with it. Many who have no real faith in God or in His word assent to some principles of truth and pass as Christians, and thus they are enabled to introduce their errors as Scriptural doctrines. {DD 6.4}



There are many in our Church who make errors as Scripture doctrines. These people have no genuine faith in God.


To talk of religion in a casual way, to pray without soul hunger and living faith, avails nothing. A nominal faith in Christ, which accepts Him merely as the Saviour of the world, can never bring healing to the soul. The faith that is unto salvation is not a mere intellectual assent to the truth. He who waits for entire knowledge before he will exercise faith, cannot receive blessing from God. It is not enough to believe about Christ; we must believe in Him. The only faith that will benefit us is that which embraces Him as a personal Saviour; which appropriates His merits to ourselves. Many hold faith as an opinion. Saving faith is a transaction by which those who receive Christ join themselves in covenant relation with God. Genuine faith is life. A living faith means an increase of vigor, a confiding trust, by which the soul becomes a conquering power. {DA 347.1}



This passage explains it clearly.


Faith is not just mental assent, as many claim.


Now to the grand question before all of us, What is genuine faith and how do I get this faith every day from Jesus?

First let us show readers the confirmation show to this servant when challenged by a Pastor Charles Mills to read the published works of a A. T. Jones.

A.T. Jones: "Anyone who seeks in the word of God for the specific things which God has provided and then bows upon that specific word for that thing, is asking according to the plainly expressed will of God, and knows that his prayer is heard and that he has the thing for which he prayed. So doing, the prayers will be always certain, the life will be filled with the direct gifts of God, and the faith will be sure and strong and will be ever increasing in strength ( www.1888mpm.org/files/Lessons%20on%20Faith-AT%20Jones.pdf ) (This writing is NOT published by EGW writings.org; not found on this website.)

Can anybody out there explain what A. T. Jones is talking about here?


In 1888 A. T. Jones wrote this passage above, is the clearest confirmation that our views of faith developed from January 2012 until 2024, as a gradual enlightenment from the Lord Jesus, is totally independent from the light given to A.T. Jones, yet we both agree exactly.

Further Mrs White also writes about this “saving-faith” which was really only discovered when the Author studied her messages more and more, and the Lord enlightened me over time since 2024, but the learning started way back in 2012. Notice A. T. Jones wrote his messages from the Lord over 136 years ago.


Question: Why doesn’t A.T.Jones write of “precious-promises” and talk of “saving-faith” in more sentences of his experience? This suggests to me A. T. Jones lost the experience gained from training in the “saving-faith” he proclaimed? He sadly left the Church years later, along with Waggoner who also left the Church for personal reasons.
So the light required for the Church to get ready for the Second Coming of Jesus faded and went out.


The "the specific things which God has provided" Ellen White calls "precious promises". Notice another second confirmation statement:

A.T. Jones: "This is justification by faith alone. This is justification by faith, without works. For the faith being the gift of God, coming by the word of God, and itself working in man the works of God, needs none of the work of sinful man to make it good and acceptable to God. The faith itself works in man that which is good, and is sufficient of itself to fill all the life with the goodness of God, and needs not the imperfect effort of sinful man to make it meritorious. This faith gives to man good works, instead of being itself dependent upon man for “good works.” It is not expressed by “faith and works;” but by “faith which works,” “for in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love” (Gal. 5:6). “Seest thou how faith wrought?” (Jas. 2:22). “Remembering without ceasing, your work of faith;” “and the work of faith with power” (1 Thess. 1:3; 2 Thess. 1:11). And, “This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent” (John 6:29). This is “the faith of God” which Jesus exhorts us to have (Mark 11:22, margin); which was manifested in him; and which by his grace is a free gift to every soul on earth."

Rob: I love the way Jones writes this: yes the faith power comes with it's own works, that as Ellen White says is "appropriated to us" by the Creative Power of God.


This is the second confirmation in writings by A. T Jones, that is totally in agreement to our understanding of genuine faith. This is a fantastic discovery.

Science requires the validation of theories of faith, before they are confirmed. We have this confirmation in a pioneer SDA leader of our Church over 136 years ago. However I am not sure Jones lived by the light he received, as there are no practical examples written of this light illuminating his experiences in Christ.



Thank you Lord for this light of understanding, now I pray others will enjoy the experience of genuine faith and become revived under the powers of Jesus. Shalom


Now that we have confidence we are on the right track, let’s ask readers a very basic question:

What is the functional purpose of Bible study?
(Bible verse answer only please, not traditions and precepts of men)

What is the functional purpose of prayer?
(Bible verse answer only please, not traditions and precepts of men)

Can readers show a single Bible verse putting these two ideas into a single theme, the Science of Salvation based on faith?

If you ask an Adventist, what is faith, he or she will tell you:


Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Wow, that is a really good definition, I might reply, but How do you get faith?

The Adventist will typically reply, faith is a gift from God. And they would say:

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Ro 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Well done I reply, so how do you get more and more of this gift of faith, say from Jesus?

The Adventist will reply, you get more and more faith, by trusting in Jesus, and reading more and more about Jesus and what he did for us, so that is why we have Sabbath School classes so all around the world we learn more knowledge about Jesus, by hearing His words of God.

I see. So faith increases as we hear more and more about His Words of God. And Jesus was the Word of God demonstrating faith on earth, leaving us an example to do as Jesus did.


Da 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Here we see in the last days a prophecy that knowledge shall increase. The Hebrew word behind this English word is this:

Knowledge: Strong’s 1847, in Ancient Hebrew the letters of this word reads “Through the door the eye sees an important mark”

The important marks were typically written by hand as a cross shape, so through the door of heaven’s home, we look at the cross and the important truths shown to us through this door.

This word also refers to scientists looking through the doors of the organisms to understand the important marks of cellular organization. Some scientists have looked through the doors of our universe to understand more about the physical math marks and other marks we might see through our telescopes.

So yes indeed mankind has increased in knowledge, as we see into the doors of mysteries trying to fathom the important marks we see there.

Does this allow our faith to increase, learning more about the important marks of Jesus? What does the Bible teach about this idea?

Lu 18:8 ... Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?


And this prophecy

Am 8:11 ¶ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

Sounds to me that faith is given by God to less and less people in the end of time? But why?

Isa 10:19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.

And this is what Ellen White wrote:

EGW: “The young want just what they have not; namely, religion. Nothing can take the place of this. Profession alone is nothing. Names are registered upon the church-books upon earth, but not in the book of life. I saw that there is not one in twenty of the youth who knows what experimental religion is. ..—Testimonies for the Church 1:503-505. {MYP 383.3}


Not one in twenty of those who have a good standing with Seventh-day Adventists is living out the self-sacrificing principles of the word of God.{1T 632.2}

There are lessons of the highest importance that not one in twenty of those who claim to be children of God have yet learned. .... That which individuals need is practical godliness. {RH June 28, 1887, par. 2}

I saw that there is not one in twenty that knows what experimental religion is. {T12 1.1}


There is not one in twenty who knows the beauty, the real essence, of Christ’s ministry. They are to find it out. Then they will become partakers of the rich fruit of His teachings. Ms 104, 1898, par. 16

There is in the Hebrew scriptures another word also meaning knowledge:

Know: Strong’s 3045, “The active hands through the door sees”

When you look at verses with this word you see things like

Ge 3:22 ¶ And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil:

Ge 4:1 ¶ And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived,

so the best English word meaning for all contexts, is to be “intimate”

Here is a good example of this word “yada” in the NT teachings Jesus spoke

Mt 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

So just looking through the door to learn about important truths of Jesus, is not enough.

We have to have "active hands through the door of heaven and truly look " at Jesus with faith.

We have to become intimate with Him. Notice how this intimacy is achieved in the parable of the foolish virgins:

Mt 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

Verily is a word meaning faith. It is written in Greek using Hebrew spelling. So the word is actually the Hebrew word “aman”.

Here is the same word used many times:

Ps 89:52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

And through this prayer we find

Ps 89:37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven.

So the use of this word is somebody being a faithful witness to things said or spoken.

Strong’s 539 also 540, “The strong flow over the nations” meaning in English “affirming faith”

So is there a simpler meaning for faith ?

Ex 16:15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

Notice the manna is Greek word, the Hebrew word is man,

Strong’s 4478: “The flow over the nations” meaning “what is it?”

So Faith is a “flow over the nations” that Israel said “what is it”? They didn’t know. It was called the bread of heaven. It was eaten as food and cooked like cake.

Ex 16:4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

Here is the poetry simile “rain bread” referring to the teachings of the Bible.

Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (KJV)

Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Affirming faith, Affirming faith, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (Ancient Hebrew)

So faith begins when man is born again.

The physical similes of faith, is the raining of bread from heaven, that Israel called “what is it” that was heavenly food and could be cooked as cakes and tasted sweet.

Now Jesus is speaking of another real thing that must be spiritually understood. He is going to explain what the bread from heaven is:


Joh 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

Obviously Nicodemus did not understand faith.

Joh 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? (KJV)

Sadly the word “believe” is a fuzzy word meaning...

Joh 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye have no faith, how shall ye have faith if I tell you of heavenly things? (Ancient Hebrew)

Obviously Nicodemus had no faith. Like a typical Jew he saw only the earthly things and took the words at an earthly level, he did not understand heavenly things and words that GOD understands and uses, that are beyond mere matter.

Joh 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (KJV)

Now lets write this passage using Hebrew words

Joh 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the “burning” (saraph) in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: {who is also a “burning” (saraph)}
15 That whosoever has faith in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever has faith in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Dear readers have you ever considered love is a “burning” ? But the Opposer who now lacks this love function has changed his burning into something else, that sadly was given as a needle injection during 2020 to millions across the world, deceiving many ? So thousands now die because their heart is burning from snake venom - a forked fake love, unlike the burning love that comes from the Saraph Son of God.

Saraph: Strong’s 8314 “The outgrowth from the Head of the Mouth” comes in both verb and noun actions, the idea of “burning/burning-one” We see the outgrowth from the head of the serpent’s mouth, are fangs that make false doctrines of lust, passion and burning. While the Divine Burning Son of God makes an outgrowth from his mouth, to speak and do in human form, for GOD came down on the earth to demonstrate faith as an outgrowth of His mouth, in human form.

Question: How is the second birth, based on faith; achieved?

Jesus does not answer this question, because it is sufficiently answered already in the former teachings. Where in the OT is there a Bible verse about the second birth process, based on faith?



Ps 51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: (KJV)

Hear David prays for “truth” in the inward parts of his body, he knows sin and sin-offerings for his sins, have spoiled his body, his heart and mind.

Truth: Strong’s 571 : “Strong flow over the nations (towards) an important mark” has this meaning in English “truth affirms faith”

Ps 51:6 Behold, thou desirest “truth affirming faith” in the inward parts: (Ancient Hebrew)

David recognizes his inward parts lack something, and asks for a second birth based on faith as a gift from God.

Ge 24:27 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his “truth affirming faith”: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.


Here Abraham’s master is using the faith of Abraham to be passed unto himself, thus affirming the faith of Abraham as his own faith. This is a principle how we can affirm the faith of Jesus, so we can use the same faith Jesus has, as our own... Another way to say this is the master was supporting Abraham, just as the human supports Jesus using faith. 


Faith is a concept about supporting a Divine Being. Secular uses of faith, like soldiers under a Centurion, here faith is a concept of supporting a Superior Authority (same idea).



So how did the animals of creation come into existence?

Ps 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

The Adventist may not investigate the Hebrew behind these words, but there is a three fold process in getting the animals of Creation into existence, the WORD is first spoken by a Creator, than the Ruwach - the Holy Spirit does what the WORD asks for, and finally carries the flow of the PROVIDER FATHER, so that asked for becomes a reality.

(Note: I would disagree with many SDA preachers like Pastor Skeete and Waggoner [both of whom I dearly respect] that speaking of faith, claim that the “word” is an agent of creative power by itself. The Hebrew verses do not teach this idea. Love is a community process, not a power in and of itself alone.)

Notice the same process of creation happens with the second birth:

Ps 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God “Family power of elohiym” ; and renew a right spirit “medium” within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit “holy grand medium” from me.




Summary so far: 


So faith is a gift of GOD, the “strong flow over the nations of humans”. 


What is it? Nobody knew. It is a creative flow from GOD.

Question: How does this faith flow function?

(see next page)

[Admin]

Notice the poetry parallel of the first use of this faith word in the OT?

Ex 17:12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

We see here three human beings in masculine form, one acting as a Provider of Power and the other two Responding to the Provider, by supporting His arms.

Notice our Hebrew English Translator says, the only inspired human who ever wrote correctly about the process of genuine faith:

EGW: "Happy the minister who has a faithful Aaron and Hur to strengthen his hands when they become weary and to hold them up by faith and prayer. Such a support is a powerful aid to the servant of Christ in his work and will often make the cause of truth to triumph gloriously. {4T 531.2

Notice the word in Ancient Hebrew:

Strong’s 529, “The strong flow, secure; over the nations”

“The strong flow” is the Hebrew word for “mother” or more correctly as a function, the Responder.
The Hebrew tent-peg letter meaning secure, is the meaning of the Father, or correctly as a function, the Provider.

So in our parallel poetry picture of Moses, Aaron and Hur, we have one provider and two responders. Notice they are pictured as masculine responders.

When the translators translate the Hebrew into English, they write about the two divine agents of GOD, as angels. So we have two responders, both as angels, one with his wings and the other with her wings.

Here is some typical verses in Scripture:

Jer 48:40 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;

Ge 16:7 ¶ And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

Notice the parallel

Joh 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

Jesus-YHWH is referenced in the OT as an “angel of the LORD” with “His wings”

Ex 3:2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush...

So the angel of the Lord is not a cherub, but the YHWH also termed God, and God called unto Moses out of the midst of the bush... (Note: Hebrew is about function - not Greek ideas of description)

Where is this two angel parallel presented with a YHWH on earth?

Ge 18:2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

Here “ABraham” sees three men walking who are later like angels, but one is the YHWH, with two cherubim with Him. So we have one provider and two responders.

Now the verses of an angel with her wings:

Ho 4:19 The wind hath bound her up in her wings,

And

De 32:11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings,


But isn’t the eagle a simile of Jesus and his wings, as a responder? Yes

But there is also this verse

Ge 1:2 And the Spirit of God “fluttered” upon the face of the waters.

And there is this verse where both comforters or responders are referenced together by name

Isa 63:9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. 10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit:

Which angel is the angel of his presence? The angel with his wings, or the angel with her wings, or both? They both respond to Israel with responding love.

Where else is the Divine members of Elohiym written together with wings?

Ps 91:1 ¶ He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

We need to consider the Hebrew under these words:

The “Father” Provider is often written as the Most High.
The “Mother” Responder is written as the Shadday.

The term shadow tells you that there must be two Divine Beings here because you cannot make a shadow from one Light Source. You require two Beings, one is functioning as the light source and the other Being partially “filters or blocks” the light source making a shadow. (Actually there are two shadows made this way but that is another story)

Notice what happens to humans under the shadow of the Most High.

Ps 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his “truth affirming faith” shall be thy shield and buckler.

Notice the process of faith is written here. Does the Most High have wings? Not that I know of, but the Shadday does. So why is this written as “his wings”? Two reasons, first the grammar case of Shadday is masculine, and second the power making the shadow comes from providing love, the Shadday is only responding, so as the hymn sings “under his wings I am safely abiding... “

The same can be said of “help-meet” the OT word for “comforter” in the NT. The word is masculine in grammar case. Does this mean GOD gave a help-meet to Adam who was a provider of love? No! She was a responder of love, but her responding comes from his providing of love. Confused?

Try to understand this poetry snippet simile I wrote as a 16 year old person, inspired just a little I feel from God, who inspires all of us, if we allow this ( Numbers 11:29).

"Love is a river, And to this young wife, It flows feverishly through her life”.

“Love is a river, a dam fed you some. Clear was it’s water, traditionally done.”


Notice the similes of the wife and the husband. The wife is a simile of the water, the husband a simile of the dam. Love is a simile of a river.


Question: What function is the husband as a dam?
Answer: To control, store and release so there is a constant flow of love for the wife.

The poem is suggesting his love functions to store and control and release his love, so that she responds to his love, with a love of responding.

That is why the breast, the comforter and the Shadday are written as masculine grammar case words. It also explains why the word “ruwach” meaning “medium” is a feminine grammar case word, because the medium responds, in other words carries the powers of providers. ( Note: The definition of a medium is to carry things)

How many women today would agree with this model of providers providing and responders responding? Can’t women also be providers? Well they can be, but can this lead to dysfunction within the home? Do we understand the balance of functions?



Summary so far: -

1) We have learned faith is a “flow over the nations”

2) What is it? Nobody knows. Faith is difficult to fathom. Faith is a created flow.

3) This flow is a flow of responding love and providing love over the nations.

4) This flow of faith is typified as two Comforters supporting the Grand Provider.

Finally, how do we get this faith, as steps of a process? Does the Bible teachings teach this?


Here we will show you the most important verse in all of Scripture because it defines the science of salvation as a faith process, without using those words, because it is written for simple child like people like me who cannot stand fancy complex words. So let’s keep things simple and child like.

We asked readers

1) What is the function of Bible study?
2) What is the function of Prayer?

The single verse that answers both of this questions, is both of these functions are functions of FAITH.

1) What is the function of Bible study? increase your faith
2) What is the function of Prayer? increase your faith

Here is the verse

Yashah 14:2 Take/takings with you (as) words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the “mouth head” of our lips. (Ancient Hebrew)

When you “take taking as words”, you are seeking for “precious promises” you can claim, “faith foods” you can eat, “prayer promises” you can speak to Jesus for His power specific to your need.

When you say these “precious promises” to Him, you are praying in your mind. Often Jesus will speak to you, ask formally, so you ask on bended knee. Why do this? As a witness against the Opposer you are processing a faith food so the Opposer sees your support of Jesus. Jesus requires of us to be His witnesses. ( Isa 43:10 ) . The Opposer cannot read prayers within the mind, so sometimes Jesus will ask you to formally pray to Him. (Note: the Opposer will get really angry because of this, always pray for God to hedge you and protect you. Read the book of Job for the end of time).

What is Jesus as a Hebrew function ?


Mt 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Yashah: for he shall yasha his people from their sins. (Ancient Hebrew)

Where is this idea in the former rains?

Isa 63:8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour “yasha”.

Saviour: Strong’s 3467, “the active hands pressing the eye” comes in two forms both verb and noun meaning in English as “saving/Saviour”.

Why is the active hand ready pressing unto the eyes? Because He is ready watching and looking for opportunities to rescue those in trouble, seeking help, like a Lifesaver does at the beach with swimmers in the ocean. Like a Shepherd would build a shelter and with keen eyes watch over His sheep on the pastures looking for sheep in need of help, with active hands ready to rescue.

This function is also required for a sinless heaven, because of this verse in the Scroll of Yasha written as a message of Yashah about salvation:


Dear readers, we are now going to show you from one example, how to find “precious promises” in the Ten Words:


Ho 13:4 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.

Here the first of the ten words is repeated with an added word “yasha”.

Question: what is there in a sinless domain, do we need to claim the precious promise for a Yasha every day? What are we rescued from in a sinless domain?

First are the ten words really based on faith?

Ps 119:86 All thy commandments are faithful...

OK, so are the commandments of faith really eternal ?

Ps 119:142 ¶ Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the “truth affirming faith”.

Ps 119:152 ¶ Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

Ps 119:151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are “truth affirming faith”.

Wow! So what are the steps of getting this faith as a gift, creating in me the renewal of my second birth, so I may become like Jesus and walk in faith as He walked? Where does Yashah explain the steps of this process?

The entire scroll of Yasha is about “taking” a wife of whoredom and making a marriage out of us in the salvational process. How can I give up on you, Yashah says, I am God not man (Hosea 11:9 ), my love is more gracious. At the end of the scroll comes the simple words of this process: (Note: confusion over spelling “Hosea is also spelt as Yasha)

Yasha 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

First we must “take takings with us as words”

First we must understand the Hebrew word comes in two forms of action meaning “take/taking”.

Strong’s 3947, “The Authority Unknown Outside” comes in two actions meaning in English as “take/taking”.

Let’s try some verses for this word:

Ge 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden

Ps 18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

Ps 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me

De 32:2 My doctrine “takings” shall drop as the rain,

Pr 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning “takings”;

Pr 9:9 ...teach a just man, and he will increase in learning “takings”.

Isa 29:24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, ...shall learn doctrine “takings”.

So these things that are unknown to us, outside of us, we take and increase in our takings, as words, perhaps we become more wise, to read into the Bible, words we wish to take?

Now lets ask our Hebrew English translator for help:

EGW” God means we shall trust in Him and enjoy His goodness. He lays out day by day before us and we must have eyes and perceptive powers to take these things in. However great and glorious the full and perfect deliverance from evil we shall realize in heaven, it is not all to be kept for the time of final deliverance. God brings it into our present life. We need daily to cultivate faith in a present Saviour. Trusting in a power out of and above ourselves, exercising faith in unseen support and power which is waiting the demand of the needy and dependent, we can trust amid clouds as well as sunshine, singing of present deliverance and present enjoyment of His love. The life we now live must be by faith in the Son of God. {TDG 62.2}


Notice the messages of Ellen White "Trusting in a power out of and above ourselves, exercising faith in unseen support and power.

She is explaining what “take/takings” mean! “The Authority Unknown Outside” So we are trusting in a power outside of ourselves, exercising faith in unseen support and power. Wow.

What does Ellen White term these “take/takings as words” ?


EGW” Just so has God given us the precious promises throughout his word. The Scriptures are open to us as the garden of God, and their promises are as fragrant flowers blooming all over that garden. God especially calls our attention to the very ones that are appropriate for us. In these promises we may discern the character of God, and read his love to us. They are the ground upon which our faith rests, the support and strength of our faith and hope; and through these we are to delight our souls in God, and breathe in the fragrance of heaven. Through the precious promises he withdraws the veil from the future, and gives us glimpses of the things which he has prepared for those who love him. And yet “eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” {RH October 11, 1887, par. 8}

Mrs White calls the “take/takings as words” as “precious promises” or what the Author terms “faith promises”.


EGW” Hold fast to the hand of Him who can bless and heal if He sees that it is for your present and eternal good. And now, my brother and sister, while you are both alive, take this precious time to appropriate by faith to yourselves the precious promises of the Word of God. I am thankful that you are both presenting yourselves as humble seekers for the pardon of all sin. This is your privilege. Do not disbelieve. {2SM 255.2

Here she uses the term “precious promises”. But she introduces as very difficult English word, “appropriate by faith to yourselves the precious promises”

What does ‘appropriate by faith’ mean?


EGW” Our faith in God’s precious promises should grow every day. If we hold the victory over the powers of darkness it must be by constant, persevering watchfulness and almost unceasing prayer. It must be an every day work. If we grow in grace and in knowledge of the truth, we must have the words of our mouth select, and seasoned with grace. God will help in our efforts. Angels will watch over us, and our soul will be like a watered garden. {RH January 10, 1856, par. 14}

Notice the amazing language and Hebrew English context she writes “the words of our mouth select” ? This is explaining the “take takings as words” , we are to select certain words in the teachings as precious promises.

EGW” The most precious promises of God are to be claimed, and held fast, by the exercise of faith. .... Take God’s promises as your own, plead them before him as his own words; and you will receive fullness of joy. {RH September 11, 1888, par. 11}

This is explaining the “take takings as words” , we are to select certain words in the teachings as precious promises.

EGW: "“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” This prayer is appropriate for every soul, and at any time and in every place may be offered to God in the name and through the merit of Christ. The thought that God can take a poor, sinful, sorrowful human being, and so transform him by grace that he may become an heir of God and joint heir with Jesus, is almost too great for our comprehension. If the sinner comes to God confessing his sin, and believing in Christ as his personal Saviour, he will be accepted; for the word of God is sure. It is yea and amen. ... {YI January 19, 1893, par. 1}

Mrs White does not explain the process of “appropriate by faith” nor does the Scripture. She does however write the term near the prayer of David in Psalm 51. Wow!! Why does she do this?

The term refers to the creative functions of the Holy Spirit (Ps 51:10), as the second birth process is the redevelopment of the character of the human in the compassion-centre of the Holy Spirit.

( Note: there is no Hebrew word for womb, hence why KJV sometimes translate the word as matrix. The word comes in two actions meaning “compassion-centre and compassion”. This also explains the Hebrew function of Holy Spirit with feminine love is about Responding Love, not Greek descriptions of shape. Nobody has seen the shape of the Father or the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:22 and John 5:37) , for these members of Elohiym power live beyond the confines of matter, however man was made in our Elohiym’s image, so the functions are similar, a Hebrew theme. Stay away from Greek thinking of description. )

So we have tried to explain the “Authority unknown outside”, what is the next step of faith as a process?

Ho 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him,...

We speak those words in our mouth select by praying or speaking to Jesus... ( Note: mouth select, a term Our Hebrew English translator uses to explain the process of selecting precious promises from Bible verses, something you are free to do)

and wait for the “mouth head” of lips to bear the fruits of the power you asked for...

(Note: “mouth head” refers to calves that mouth off and humans that also mouth off (Ps 22:12). Sometimes getting Hebrew words into English is too hard, so we decide to leave the word in it’s Ancient Hebrew pictures.)

Now, let me give readers some examples of practical godliness of faith, hope in the unknown powers of God flowing over the nations of humans. Examples of genuine faith in practice:-

(1)

Mr 5:31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

What precious promise did this woman claim, by touching his wings?

Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; (KJV)

The Saviour walked with a garment that had blue ribbons attached to them looking like little wings. She she claimed the takings from the teachings, that the Saviour would come with healing in His wings. So she pressed outwards with her finger (an act of surrender) and touched His wings, and immediately received by faith a flow of the power from God.



Note: Faith is a doing word, not based on mental assent.


(2)

Mt 9:27 ¶ And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Do you have faith that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

So the blind men were able to be healed because of their faith in the precious promise that spoke or to Jesus, supporting His words that have power...

What “precious promises” did the blind speak?

Isa 42:7 To open the blind eyes,....

or

Isa 61:1 ¶ The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

We are all bound in the prison house, our bodies trap us with our fallen nature because of sin.

(3)

Ac 14:8 ¶ And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

What precious promises were going inside the head of this cripple?

Ac 14:7 And there they preached the gospel.

We are not told explicitly, but the gospel was preached with power by Paul.

(4)

Mt 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

What precious promise did the Centurion claim ?

Ps 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. (KJV)

Faith is the process of supporting the words of some superior power greater than yourself. The Roman centurion had soldiers under him that lived and did according to his very words, and the soldiers supported him implicitly. The centurion asked Jesus to speak the word only, and the flow of power would come. He understood the process of support in a superior power.



Now let’s show readers some of my own personal examples:-

(5) If I walk into a food place and say “Lord lead me not into things dysfunctional, I will avoid the cake with sugar, the GMO foods and such nasty foods, but if I don’t speak the words, I will choose what my stomach desires, which is not of faith.


(6) If I say a prayer supporting His precious promises “Lord your words, not mine I speak” I will immediately speak words of God unto others, but if I don’t speak these words, I will simply speak what my human powers of self will speak, making myself miss the flow of wisdom from God, and thus sin - breaking faith, with missing His divine flow for that present time.

When you “take taking as words”, those words do not have to be the exact entire Bible verse, or the Hebrew word meanings, they are “your takings as words”, you are familiar with the words of God and have studied them before, and now you support God by speaking of these words, and hoping the unknown powers of God will empower you as you have asked it to do, and you will do His doings in you, so you will become a witness that God is flowing in you daily because you asked.

Now go and do faith with child like doings. Learn to develop your asking and reach for deeper and deeper requests of God. As you learn more faith, there is a time for prayer and fasting, so there is much to learn and be trained by our Comforters.

Do not get discouraged if your speaking of precious promises does not deliver the Divine powers you asked for in prayer straight away. There should be in most cases, an immediate power flowing, empowering you to do whatever you ask. Be persistent. Repent previous sins, if you feel God is asking you to do this, for repentance is a gift from God as well. Maybe you have too many weeds in your life, or your soil is too shallow, or the tribulations too hot. Learn to speak to God and hear God as a small voice talk back to you.

See the parable of the sower who sows faith into 4 kinds of human soil, in Matthew 13. The poetry is all about the faith process.

If you don’t hear God talking to you, claim this precious promise:

Isa 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it,

Try “Lord let my conscience speak to me” Ro 2:15

1Ki 19:12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

Try” Lord be my still small voice”

Hear is some advice from James about those experimenting with faith:

Jas 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

It is necessary to read and know Bible verses, and memorize certain words as precious promises. Do not doubt what you ask will not come to pass. Do not be unstable with God. He knows what you need before you ask. Also be careful what you ask for.

Ga 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Try “Lord show me what Bible promise I need today” Close your eyes and with your finger open the Bible to a passage God will guide you to memorize as a precious promise.

Remember to ask first, do not seek God with a human finger only, otherwise the Opposer will guide you to some worthless promise. When you ask in faith, the finger is guided immediately by an “unknown authority outside” of yourself.

Here is a common precious promise God showed me for many years, I never liked as a child learning to have faith in Him:

Jer 31:18 ¶ I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. (KJV)

Or in the NIV

"I have surely heard Ephraim's moaning: `You disciplined me like an unruly calf, and I have been disciplined. Restore me, and I will return, because you are the LORD my God. After I strayed, I repented; after I came to understand, I beat my breast. I was ashamed and humiliated because I bore the disgrace of my youth.

This precious promise is about GOD wanting us to be yoked to Jesus so we learn how to walk in faith correctly meeting each need with the correct precious promise. Often we are unruly as a calf, head strong and head mouthed. We bear the disgrace of our youth, meaning we lack experience and sin because we fail to understand things about ourselves.

In my first Christian marriage, how does a gender male deal with orgone energy that builds up naturally and your wife is too tired, or makes excuses because you embarrassed her socially, so you lack the sexual release you need and so your biological energy becomes dysfunctional and so you find masturbation the only way to deal with emotional and physical problems from your wife who does not love you correctly with responding love?

Recently I found this precious promise in the ten words of faith. “No adultery” is the negative command. What is the precious promise for this moral law? (Read Jer 2:24 through to Jer 3:8 , a very large passage)

naph Strong’s 5003 Pictured as “Over the nations, the strong mouth”

God directed me to understand this is about “no biological urge”. So by claiming this precious promise “no urges”, the whole problem of biological urges and building of energy simply vanishes as your speak this precious promise to God. Wow, are all our problems so simple and so immediate? This faith principle is broadly about “building relationships”. Yes that is true, but the most important relationships we must build first is between you and God. So yes there is a precious promise for that too.

Some may consider the moral law are written like that in heaven throughout countless ages?

Ex 20:2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage

The first of the ten words, has “Egypt” and “house of bondage” both of these concepts did not exist in the eternal sinless domain of heaven. So one has to discover what the precious promises of faith are in the ten words, using the principles already shown to readers.

Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. (KJV)

The chief cherub was in charge to walk up and down among these stones of fire and guard the foundation principles of faith. His mind began to doubt, why are we all required to support these faith promises of God, what would happen if we don’t support them?

We also are free to develop as unique beings because we may not all ask for power flows in the same way. We are different with different talents and needs and wants. So our character development based on faith promises of love will be different.

Pr 16:9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

So plan your course, seek precious promises you like , and say them to God supporting His power, so that you develop in the way you want to. The LORD directs your steps because you ask specifically for different power for different needs. Thus it is important to learn as much Scripture as possible, to memorise precious promises you need in your life. There may be much more than 7000 precious promises in the Bible, as Glen Coons ‘ABC of Bible prayer’ claims as 3000, he never lists. If you have not read Glen’s book, I would highly recommend this book as a baby beginning understanding of faith. While he does not fully expound on the understanding of genuine faith, as Pastor Skeete also does in his videos on faith, it is important we gather as much as possible the experiences of our pioneers who have have important skills and experiences to share, we can learn from. Sharing is an important Bible principle, the reason for Sabbath.

If you can’t get out of bed early to read His words, try this precious promise “Jer 33:3 Call on me and I will answer you.” Ask God to wake you at any time you specify.

The best time for storing the waters of the Holy Spirit before the Sun’s (Sons) tribulation makes you wilt from the burning of His love, is found in Scripture:

Ec 11:6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

“Dear Lord call on me at 4:30 am.” See if the miracle comes to pass. Getting out of bed is a precious promise I have yet to find, so your free will to choose is never violated by the Lord.

If your eye has trouble with eye candy, ask this precious promise “Lord keep my eye single” or “lead me not into temptation” or “resist the Devil and He will flee from you”

Your mind is busy fighting the good fight of faith, supporting Jesus and His words. You can never see a plant growing on faith on the outside, both the wheat and tare look the same, on the inside there is a different process of faith functioning in both that only becomes obvious when they make heads of fruit. Fight the good fight of faith.

Beware of presumption, the opposite of faith, where you are speaking from self, rather than from the humble meek heart. When you begin as a child on milky doses of faith, learn to speak simple requests to God and build on your experiences, so that you grow in your faith. Experience develops trust.

As you get more successful with private miracles of His grace, expand your faith to include helping others and praying for others who do not understand the faith process of God. Not all will accept you because their world view does not see God, it is foolishness to them. No amount of evidence or miracles of faith will sway their minds, so ask God to send you only those who are ready for His faith. Fervent prayer and fasting trains you to focus intently upon God and develop true meekness, so your faith becomes stronger publicly for Jesus.

For those seeking a public private miracle try this one we found- (possibly the only private public miracle during the training phase)

De 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

Fasting alone with GOD, living on His words is the same process as biologically living on food. Therefore during an “Alone experience” there will be a small drop in weight and a normal complexion of living, while fasting is painful and taxing, it is also a precious promise where you live implicitly on His words. So spend time reading them and memorising them during your fasting. Also learn to pray more listening to God speak to you, not you speaking to God, and when you do speak in prayer learn to speak His words so you are supporting Him and His powers in you. If you succeed in your genuine faith experience you will develop a private public miracle others will see, and praise the Jesus whom you serve.

I am yet to experience this fasting training experience myself, nor do we have all the answers, so as a child we remain ever onward always learning and growing in His grace, under the genuine faith process. Shalom

How does this work in our daily lives?

[Admin]

Isa 28:9 ¶ Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

So when one is given food from others, we receive the truth at a certain level, as a baby from mothers milk.

If we become mature enough to eat food ourselves, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who functions as a mother, we can begin to digest deeper and more mature understanding of truth, by ourselves.

1Co 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

Milk is best for beginners and only later can one feed a church with meat.

Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

Some who are Pastors and ought to be Teachers are required to drink milk again and not strong meat, because they fail to understand greater experiences in the Lord.

Heb 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

This principle would apply to all of us for we all are learning and growing in the mysteries of Christ.

Shalom
