We have been delving into Torah the last few days. What is Clean and Unclean, and Holy and Unholy? What changed with Jesus Christ? We will work towards understanding.
Prophet Ezekiel was a Seer. He saw the Spiritual like in Ezekiel 1. In Ezekiel 4, Prophet Ezekiel was asked to do some very specific things towards prophesying the Siege of Jerusalem. Why was he asked to do those very specific things? Man is made in the image of God. The Spiritual is a reflection. Towards understanding what Clean and Unclean was, someone may need to understand The Prophets, and have some concept of "Seeing," that is, seeing the Spiritual.
28 “If a bull gores a man or woman to death, the bull is to be stoned to death, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the bull will not be held responsible. 29 If, however, the bull has had the habit of goring and the owner has been warned but has not kept it penned up and it kills a man or woman, the bull is to be stoned and its owner also is to be put to death. (Exodus 21:28-29)
Certain spirits or demons, they may have manifested in particular ways. Moloch was a bullheaded false god. There was the Minotaur of Knossos. There may have been "A Something" there. Given a bull was to gore a man, said bull, he may have become susceptible to a particular spirit.
A man in the Old Testament, his body was a vessel. A vessel for what? Spirits effect motivations. Man has freedom of choice. Spirits effect motivations. Given a man had the motivation to lie, and gave into said motivation a lot, his soul may have formed in around something unclean.
A bull on its own, it may have been alright. A bull that killed a man, it may have been susceptible to an unclean spirit. Jesus cast out demons into pigs. We know demons can possess animals. Eating the an unclean animal, that may pass an unclean spirit to a man. Spirits effect motivations. Someone with unclean spirits would reject God, and/or shy away from particular religious symbolism.
When men are actively doing God's will, demons hate that. Given a Hebrew was fulfilling The Laws of Moses, in a Fear of God, and a love of God, any demons a man had may have been exorcised. This was part of being clean. The Laws of Moses may have become a false idol. What was in someone's heart?
Given a dad gave his son a lot of chores to do, and he had a bad attitude about it, in what spirit or heart was he doing the chores? He was resentful. Angry. Bitter. He may have done the chores, but in his heart, he was doing them for the wrong reasons.
In 2026, everyone, every man, he may have had demons in his subconscious at various points in time. A baptism by water, done right, it may have been an exorcism. Someone was choosing a new life in Christ.
This is a big topic. I am not going to overly explain it, at this time. It may be something someone learns to see with God.
Addendum -
Question: Can a Christian be possessed?
It depends on how someone defines Christian. Does standing in a garage make someone a car? A lot of Christian Churches fell away into "Academic Christianity" or Tradition. They were mostly going through the motions. In a Church like that, there may have been a Jezebel Spirit in some of the leadership. That is Jezebel, like Jezebel the Magazine, where people were flaunting a Jezebel spirit. Jezebel, she tends to be very "Spiritual." She hates anyone who would challenge her authority. A man may have also had a Jezebel Spirit.
A man is 25 years old. He was influenced by a pastor, and now believes in The Lord Jesus Christ. He is baptized. He starting a new life in Christ. He should be "Seeking." He is seeking God with all his heart and soul and strength and mind. He may have been fasting looking to come closer to God. He is looking to have God in his head. (2 Corinthians 10:5) The Holy Ghost is a teacher and a councilor. Found God? Faith is a journey. The man who found God, he would not be able to be possessed unless he turned away.
A prodigal son, someone who backslid, he possibly had a few "Things" in his subconscious. They may be exorcised by doing God's Will in Sanctification.
Question: After a baptism, shouldn't a man immediately be full of the Holy Spirit?
Yes.
Jesus Christ is the Suffering Servant. (Isaiah 53) God is long suffering. Our trials bring us closer to God. (James 1:2-4)
We live in a world built by The Baby Boomers. They grew up in an age of plenty. They knew of God. There were knowledgeable deceivers among them who actively did things to make it harder for a man to find God.
Every man starts at a different point. A homeless man from Mexico City or a IV League graduate with a silver spoon, we all started at a different points. We should be headed towards the same place on a journey of faith. The homeless man who chose God, and was baptized, his trials may have made it easier for him to find God. Does that hurt someone's feelings? Is he jealous or hurt? He needs to work through that. The world has set men up for failure with God. Reject the world.
Question: How many trials does a man need to endure?
Every man is a little different, and everyone started from a different point. It is not a gross competition to see who can hate life the most. God's way is really a middle way. It is good to be living hard at times, that is, good for a man. It is good to celebrate and thank God for the good things and blessings he has given us. It is good to rejoice. There are a lot of feast days in Christianity.
How many trials? It is whatever get a man "There." God tests the heart.
Question: Is it really all the Baby Boomers fault?
We also had "The Greatest Generation." The World War II generation. Some men, they didn't get to go to war. Their buddies and friends and brothers went. They received glory. Some men didn't get to go. Of those men, some of them ended up with big chips on their shoulders. They hated the military. When Vietnam came around, some of these men were professors. They worked to sabotage. In that sabotage, and draft dodging, there was a "New Masculinity," in a Counter Culture. There was something going on with The Greatest Generation.
There was something going on with the Greatest Generation between John Rawls and some men with chips on their shoulder.
Question: How much room is there here for correction?
I am often close. Some of this is like walking in artillery. Where a lot of people fail when I talk or write about these types of things, the Spiritual Seeing things, is people WANT to have an opinion. Opinions are like armpits. They stink. Having an opinion may make someone a false teacher.
As Christians, there is an equality. A group of Christian men, who have proven to be abiding in Christ, they should be able to talk about these things, pray, and come to a consensus. A lot of Christians were self-important, and not there. They would like to have their opinion. That gets into "Smarty Pants Christianity."
A Christian may be a "Seer," and not a prophet. (Matthew 13:15-17) There haven't been any unless they have been humble here. There have been any for decades now.
I can work to explain and help someone make sense of spiritual things. Given he would like his opinion, and was self-important, he is going to get in trouble. It is a life and death thing. You are wrong? Death. You are blind. You are going influence others and make them blind. How many generations of men will be lead into darkness due to someone's ego and WANT to have an opinion? It is life and death.
Question: What may be a sign that someone was Abiding in Christ that differentiates from your average pastor?
Matthew 10:34-37. What happens behind closed doors? Given someone is seeing, like Matthew 13:15-17, a man may have become aware. Aware of sin and un-repentance. Given there was dirt in his families closet, he became aware.
Are there Freemasons in a man's Church? What do Freemasons actually do? A man may have become aware. There is a danger there. A danger to the pastor. A danger to the flock. Awareness is part of Seeing.
Ephesians 5:8. What happens in the dark? What happens behind closed doors? Given there was something that was hurting a man, and hurting his congregation, he became aware.
God's plan is God's Kingdom. God's Kingdom has particular values. Pastors tend to like to put people into their pews. They tend to be people pleasers. The Truth hurts. Knowledge brings sorrow. Ignorance is bliss. This is not a popularity contest.
Question: Are there any pastors that would actually agree with you?
Fr Ripperger, an exorcist, he helped me qualify a few things I was seeing. Fr Ripperger has had experiences with demons. I had experiences with demons. We had things in common.
Question: What is the biggest pitfall here for someone potentially?
They have an image of how things "Should be" in their mind. They had a false perception. A false ideal. They may want to say "MY ideal is Biblical." He was Bible only. Understanding Spiritual things is between the lines, and observed in creation, and men living God.
Given a pastor was wrong, in his "Ideal," he made the Bible abstract. He has doctrine. With his abstract doctrine, he is not 1:1 showing people how concepts in the Bible actually work. He was esoteric. Given he is that wrong, he may have had "Spirits not God." Given a pastor was esoteric and abstract in his thinking......there may have been Freemasons in his Church, and influencing how he thought. They may have been there for decades or a few hundred years.
To Occult - To Hide Away Understanding.
Given a Theologian or Philosopher was talking about The Soul and/or Spirits, he was in a Mysticism. Given we are getting it more right, someone may be close to the reality of God, and the reality of exorcism.
Let us back up a little. If you look at a woman lustfully, you had adultery in your heart. Learning to look at women right, that is part of Sanctification. Women are pretty. They smell nice. They are nice to look at. How does a man look at them? The Song of Songs in a Book in the Bible. Given this was convicting someone, they should take their opinions here, and crumple them up like a piece of paper, and throw them away. There were Spirit not God in his system.
Question: How does someone get past lust?
Men compete. Men compete in sports. Men compete in school and at work. Men compete in love. When a man was in Middle or High School, were his buddies coming to school with stories of their exploits? Did he watch TV? He learned to look at women wrong, and the competition was off.
A man could have been married for a decade, and still been in competition with his buddies from school. He had wondering eye or something. Did he have a past girlfriend or old crush in his heart? These are things that are dealt with in Sanctification.
A man may have "Needed to know he could," or "He needed to get his." He believed he was missing out?
Marriage is supposed to be a once in a life time thing. The bridal bed may have been a time of excitement. Did someone gain their excitement in sin? That may have been a number of things, to include, looking at porn.
A man lets go. He lets go of the competition. Say "I don't care." He lets go of the competition, and he is working to be a better man in Christ. He is in competition with himself. How far can he go?
Gabriel, he stands in the presence of God. (Luke 1:19) To stand in the presence of God, that would mean "No Sin."
Question: Can someone learn to "Feel Spirits?"
I don't 100% know.
God is love. (1 John 4:8) A lot of Christians will tell you this.
The Lord is a Man of War. (Exodus 15:3)(Isaiah 42:13)
How does that make you feel? Given someone shied away from it, that may have been a spirit. An opinionated man, he may just run his mouth, and spout opinions about it. How did it make you feel? Just talking about it, that was pride and ego, and they may have been detrimental towards discernment.
A man has two ears and one mouth. In working to develop The Power of the Tongue, a man is working to not say anything false. He found God. He is learning to discern. He feels. It is intuitive. What spirit was someone listening to? God has a character.
Question: Was this blog written intuitively?
Talking to God fall 2013, it started out that way. Sitting around my apartment, my mind may have been linked here. Given someone was reading, or about to be reading, God may have given me things.
In general, I woke up in the morning, and something "came to mind" for me to write about. I rolled with what God gave me.
Question: How do you tell God from "Things not God?"
God is love.
God's love is fatherly.
God has good plans.
The sheep know the voice of the shepherd.
The character of God is important. Given there was something of "Some other character," that would be "Not God."
Question: Are some demons "altruistic?"
The road to hell was paved with "Good intentions." It wasn't really altruistic. A man may be push-pulled by "Things." Walk the line.
Question: What would keep a Jewish man from developing what you have if he accepted Christ?
A generational curse. Certain families, that you don't have the family tree for anymore, they were "Jeremiad." On the forehead, right below the forehead, there may have been a demon. An Ultra Orthodox Jew who was hanging out at the King's Guard in Britain, and seemed really angry or rude......that was the demon. It hates "The Nations." I mention the King's Guard in Britain because it is easy to look up. I don't care to post a video or link one.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
