Listen to this interview LYRICAL BENJIE Idren in Yesus and Reggae

Jah used my wife to show me this. Uplifting, showing what Reggae is to InI without apology! I would say, do not underestimate this, whoever you (think you) are. This is why I do Reggae, why Reggae is in me. When other reasons would be there, they are only serving that one reason. That one reason is that Reggae is just the way to express the faith and the Message. I can loose track sometimes but Jah always puts me back right there. I never met Lyrical Benjie in flesh but I am sure in spirit we do even though I am not aware of that in my flesh which cqarries sin next to my soul and spirit.http://dubroom.yuku.com/topic/2757

Icon of Christ in His Kingly Character

ICON OF CHRIST IN HIS KINGLY CHARACTER
a spiritual meditation

WWW, February 2011 - Everyone who looks at the above picture (click for enlargement) will answer "Haile Selassie", when asked "who is this?". There's a little problem, though: this icon which was found in a church at Mnt Sinai was allegedly created in the 6th century. Is there a significance behind this fact?

Personally, I believe that the Ethiopian Emperor is an Icon of Christ in His Kingly Character. You could say, in short, a living Psalm talking about the coming reign of Yesus Kristos as He will end Babylon just like it is foretold. An icon is a reminder, a symbol of something or Someone. Just look to your own computer and it is very clear just what an ikon is.

Now, to this ancient painting...

It is evident that there is more than a similarity between the Ethiopian Emperor and this painting. Unless it turns out that this is abig hoax (which I doubt considering the fact that I came across this painting by means of a non-Rasta who posted it), it is a striking confirmation of the fact that yes indeed, the Ethiopian Emperor has this spiritual function of bein an ikon of Christ in His Kingly Character.

A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS

A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS
MESSIAN DREAD SPIRITUAL UPDATE APRIL 26 2010

WWW, April 26 2010 - In my previous spiritual update, I shared how I was proverbially crossing the Red Sea. Of course, crossing that sea gets you into the wilderness as you march forward to Zion.

A report from the wilderness...

It's the title of the first tune of my first album called "One": A Voice In The Wilderness. Those who read their Bibles know that the phrase comes out of the Book of Books and it refers to John the Baptizer, who was announcing the coming of Yesus Messiah.

Everybody who follows Yesus, who know themselves to be truly born again, will recognize themselves in the story of John the Baptizer: are we not all in the wilderness, trying to get the Message through to everyone that indeed Messiah is coming soon?

So sure, I recognize myself there, too.

In the wilderness, you will only meet other people who for some reason find themselves away from the urban areas, the areas where most people want to dwell because of the comfortable state.

The Rejected, you could say. The ones who are not accepted by the majority. But also the ones who themselves have rejected Babylon System and Culture will be found in that proverbial wilderness: the place where the Konformed will never trod.

I see this reflected in my own spiritual runnings, more and more and more as time goes by. I'm not trodding the road of the Konformed. If I would, I would have been in some kind of established industry releasing my censored "music" or something like that but instead I find myself with a small axe doing the works.

I'm happy with this situation, too, for I know just why I cannot konform. I know why I cannot do what most people do as they search for Komfort rather than Truth. It's like in that movie "The Matrix" where most people live in a dream world without realizing it, many of them refusing to wake up even when they realize that they do live in that Matrix.

The wilderness is too heavy for them...

But it's in that Wilderness that we hear the Voice. The Voice of Jah saying that He is coming soon. You will not hear this voice in the Komfort-Zone, or should I say Konform-Zone, you will only hear it after discovering that the Truth is hated and those who speak Truth are rejected.

Strangely enough, it is also in the wilderness that we know ourselves to be fed by Jah. In the Konform-Zone, the life-style without Jah laws written in the heart, the (spiritual) food doesn't come from Jah and therefore the (spiritual) growth is null and void.

And so, I find myself in that wilderness. I find myself being fed by Jah, I find myself reasoning with others who have been trodding the same way out of Babylon, I find myself being guided and guarded by Him.

I hope to see you soon.

"IN THE BEGINNING": 6000 YEARS AND 6 DAYS AGO?

"IN THE BEGINNING": 6000 YEARS AND 6 DAYS AGO?
MESSIAN DREAD SPIRITUAL MEDITATION

WWW, March 2009 - Is the King James Version 100% correct, when the translation seems to indicate that JAH created creation about 6000 years ago, in a state of desolation?

"Yes", say the Creationist. I beg to differ, however.

Creationism", unlike the popular idea, is not "just" the knowledge that creation was created by the Creator. If that would be the case, I could have been labeled a "Creationist" myself. However, I am not. And still, I believe that Jah created creation and no I do not believe that he did that through Darwin, so to speak. I do not believe mankind comes from the proverbial monkey.

A creationist believes, however, using slogans like "the Bible is the Whole Truth", that God created creation in 6 days, about 6000 years ago. A creationist believes in the traditional doctrines that came to us through Augustine, the Vatikan and it's "Reformers". A Creationist believes, that "in the beginning", the first words of the Bible, is also the "first day" of the week described in the first chapter of Genesis.

And I beg to differ, Sirs!

First of all, the Bible does not say at all that "In the beginning was the first day" at all. In fact, Genesis starts with the words:

"In The Beginning, God Created The Heaven And The Earth. And The Earth Was Without Form, And Void, And Darkness Was Upon The Face Of The Deep." (Genesis 1:1,2a)

When you read on, you see that Jah wipes the darkness of the earth and makes a difference between day and night. That wiping away of the darkness is the first act of the "creation week", which I would rather call a re-creation week.

First of all, the word "was" is not necessarily translated in the right way. The word could also be "became". Whether you use the word "was", or "became", therefore, requires more than literally translating the first lines of Genesis.

When you translate the word as "was", you make Genesis say, that Jah created the earth without "form and void", or, as the Hebrew phrase goes, "Tohu va Bohu". This phrase is used in the Bible only a couple of times, so let's take a look where they are used as well.

Let's go to Isaiah, where Jah speaks about His judgments:

"He shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness" (Isaiah 34:11b)

Obviously, since you cannot "create destruction" and Tohu va Bohu does indicate destruction rather than a creative act, it is not right to translate the first lines of Genesis using the word "was" to describe the original state of creation "in the beginning".

But there is more usage of the word Tohu va Bohu. This next usage, also Isaiah quoting JAH, says this:

"For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else." (Isaiah 45:18)

So here we have Jah Himself saying, that He did not create the earth "Tohu va Bohu". And since we already know, that the words describe a situation after the judgement of the Most High, we might get an indication as to what really happened, somewhere between "In The Beginning" and the first day of the week in Genesis.

Jeremiah helps us out. He was taken to that time, before mankind was created. He describes a situation that is in no way like the ones creationists describe when they make God in their image, a God that creates empty things. Take a look:

"I beheld the earth, and, lo, [it was] without form, and void; and the heavens, and they [had] no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, [there was] no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place [was] a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, [and] by his fierce anger. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end." (Jeremiah 4:23-27)

Obviously, we speak about a situation that is not the original creation, even though Jeremiah is taken to that time when the earth was Tohu va Bohu in Genesis 1:1. It is obvious, that the earth became Tohu va Bohu!

So, now we have Jah Himself saying that He did not create the earth in this situation, we have two accounts that tell us Tohu va Bohu is a situation after a judgement of Jah, and we have Jeremiah who speaks about this time in more detail.

Jeremiah specifically says "there is no man", but he also speaks about "cities". He speaks about a civilization on this planet before mankind was ever created!

Creationists deny all of this. They obscured the translation in the King James Version in the very first sentence of the very first chapter of the very first book, and with that, they have created God in their image: a God that cannot create anything, for you cannot create emptiness.

Now, other than the fact that it is more than interesting to realize that there were civilizations before mankind was created, it is equally so that the God of the creationists is not the God that wrote the Bible in the original language. And not only because it is an oxymoron to "create emptiness".

A couple of months ago I wrote about Sodomy, which most people think is another word for homosexuality where the Bible uses the word heteros to describe what the Sodomites were doing. Here, too, do we see that very same God of the creationists at work. Their denial of the fact that there are more intelligent beings than just mankind, leads to their painting of a God Who makes people pay for His... mistakes!

We see the same God, who is sorry that He created mankind and since He seems to be unable to master time, He can do nothing but wiping out His creation with a flood. That is not the Almighty JAH that I know, that is not the perfect JAH that I know!

We can go on, for example, and look to the battles of Israel against the Canaanites as described in Exodus and so on. We can look at JAH telling the Israelites to kill other human beings, or we can look at the original text and read how these were not human beings at all but descendants of the Nephilim, unholy offspring of angelic beings with daughters of men.

All of this, however, is lost to the creationists who do not seem to be able to grasp that although mankind is created in the Image of JAH, this by no means means that (wo)man is the only intelligent being in creation and that human civilization is all that ever was in Jah's creation.

It is clear, that the KJV is not 100% correct. The mistranslations start already in the very first line. How important is it, to know Jah personally in order to understand just what is written in the Bible, especially when you consider these mistranslations? Asking this question is answering it.

RHYTHM OF THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR
A MEDITATION BY MESSIAN DREAD



WWW, November 2007 - When Saul was possessed by an evil spirit, David would come and play music to drive the duppy away. What is the role of music in spiritual war?

Just recently, I released a tune called "Rhythm of the Spiritual Warrior". It is a heavy Dub tune with lyrics identifying the spiritual warriors and more important: what they do.

It goes like this:

I come to chant down Babylon
I come to chant down the Serpent
I come to Dub Down De Dragon
Inna the Name of Yesus Kristos: JAH!

This is the Hardcore Dub
Heavy Heavy Hardcore DUB
This Is The Rhythm
Of The Spiritual Warrior

I come to chant down the Dragon
I come to chant down Babylon
I come to free up the souls of Jah Children
Once more, once more, once more...

It took me two weeks to create the tune, and it wasn't because of a lack of inspiration or something like that. I had to go through immense spiritual warfare. It seemed like no method was spared from the side of the enemy to keep me from working on the tune.

The theme of the tune isn't what it is for nothing, you know...

But why did the enemy take this tune so serious? How come, after all a musical tune is just a drum and bassline with some stuff on top of it, right?

Wrong.

Some years ago, I heard a remarkable story. Two people took LSD or a substance like that, and started to play my music. I don't know which tune or so, and it was a while back as well, but as soon as the music started to play they had a life-changing experience.

Expecting to have some kind of psychedelic experience because of the drugs and the music, the two sat down and waiting for what was to come. They did not expect what was about to follow: it was Yesus Kristos Himself Who appeared to them!

Obviously, there is a connection between spiritual things and music.

Just like music plays a part in the process of healing the soul, raising consciousness and providing energy for JAH Children to live another day, there is also the Rhythm Of The Spiritual Warrior.

It's not just that I can witness this myself, we can also see it for example when Rastafarians come together to play the Nyabinghy rhythm as a part of their spiritual warfare against Babylon Queendom.

The Bible is full of examples too wherein music plays a part in the spiritual warfare that takes place because Satan and his workers fight against JAH and His creation. One look to the Book of the Apocalypse reveals how seven musical instruments announce the coming judgement of JAH over the wicked ones, for example.

And what to say about David, a skilled musician and spiritual warrior who used his music as part of his warfare against evil spirits that tormented king Saul? Or the Israelites using music to break down the walls of Jericho?

Being the DUB musician that I am, I obviously use the rhythm of the drum and bassline in my spiritual warfare too. I have seen many times, how music broke down the power of evil strongholds in places where this music was played. Sometimes with a band, sometimes alone with a multi-track recorder, I have seen the "Saul effect" many times.

Recently, I witnessed how someone was delivered from a whole set of evil spirits in several hours. It happened in my studio, where also people come together to reason and pray.

We had been playing music all afternoon, praising Jah and doing spiritual warfare in the process. Playing music has an effect on the soul, which when it's controlled can be used for spiritual things and that is exactly what I was doing.

You see, some people might close their eyes or bow their knees to give their prayers strength. More power to them, I would say. For it is a way to use our body to get our soul in contact with the spirit.

When you are a spiritual warrior and a musician, it is obvious how music can play a very big role in the function of spiritual warfare as the soul of the spiritual warrior is very important in the process.

We are created in the Image of Jah, the Trinity. We are created body, soul and spirit. After we become born again, we get a new spirit and this spirit is perfect, because (s)he is born from Jah. Our bodies carry sin, and carry our individual souls as well.

Spiritual warfare, the word says it, takes place within the spirit realm. Our spirits are the active part of our little trinity of body soul and spirit. Because our spirit is connected with the Holy Spirit of JAH Who also dwells within our body, our spirits have no need to be taught and are in perfect communication with the Holy One, with JAH.

However, we are also soul and body. Our bodies carry sin and are what the evil ones call "containers" for our spirits and our souls. The spiritual battle is usually because of the soul, too.

And that is where the music enters!

For music is all about the soul. We see the workers of Satan's Queendom using music big time, enslaving billions and billions of souls throughout all times and spaces. Some even claim, that Satan himself (before he became Satan, that is) was an angel that had to do with music!

Music can take the soul to a lower level, but also to a higher one. Within Reggae and Rasta Culture, we called this "Ire Ites", or High Regions, Heights!

I can't really say when I first started to be aware of the spiritual elements of certain musical works. But I do know, that it was around 1994 that I learned how I myself was a part of this as well.

In that time, a few years before I would step my first steps in Cyberspace, I was basically doing nothing but making music and doing spiritual warfare. Every day, I would wake up to go to my little "Dub Room" as I called it, and would start to make music.

I would make a riddim, then run it through my mixing board where I would voice and dub in the same time. I have 100's and 100's of tunes on cassette that I will never release but they were done in that time.

I noticed, how I worked out certain spiritual knowledge and insight in the music itself. Not just in the lyrics, though. The whole musical work would be dealing with it!

I would for example make a tune about a specific situation. I would chant words in the microphone, but I also would use my hands on my mixing board just like a prayer warrior would hold her or his hands up high to Jah for the very same reason: to add power to the spiritual event that the warrior originates.

Sometimes, these words turned out to be prophetic. Sometimes, they would touch a person directly. A small circle of friends who I shared my musical works with, often told me about their experiences.

Other times, I would simply be fighting down demonic presences in and around the house I was living in at the time. I would make music with a prayerful heart, I would fight spiritual battles too.

Around 1994, I even developed my own style of Reggae and DUB that has to do with spiritual warfare, and I call it the "Hardcore Dub" or sometimes "Last Iwa Steppers" (Iwa= Hour). The music is intense because of an unorthodox combination of chords, the drum and basslines are very militant.

The music takes my soul into a state of spiritual warfare in such a way, that I can not do it without music as fast as that. Of course, I don't need anything to do spiritual warfare, because my weapon is Yesus Kristos Himself, but this is the way He works with me.

Or, to put it more precisely: the way He lets me work!

The battles and experiences I am currently involved in, are much harder than what I was doing back in 1994. In retro-spective, I can see that I was still somehow in a "school of musical spiritual warriors", if you will.

It only had been like 4 or 5 years before that, that I was delivered from demonic possession myself. I was possessed from a very young age, and even though I became born again in august 1985, it would still take like 5-7 years before I would be completely free.

After being completely delivered, after I had to cut my dreadlocks somewhere in 1989 because of sins, after realizing I was -and still am- a Separated One or Nazarite, Jah told me that it was time to get serious.

I got serious, back then. Of course I grew my dreads again, because I am a dread and the fact that Jah told me to cut them before did not mean He did not want me to have dreads. He "just" wanted to teach me that I have to be myself, I have to walk in accordance to my calling.

My calling is to be a Separated One or Nazarite, and in my case this means I am a spiritual warrior who listens only to JAH and only does what HE tells me to do, so you can not hire me to do spiritual things for you.

This is what I was working out in the days when I started to learn about the deep connection between spiritual warfare and music. Especially when this music is created by a spiritual warrior and destined to be a tool in spiritual warfare.

Back then, I knew I was fighting against demonic presences and I also had supernatural manifestations going on (they seem to follow me throughout my life), but little did I know of what I know now.

I didn't know about flying serpents, for example. Now I see them "all the time", around people and simply flying their ways. Flying Serpents are a sign of the times, and they seem to be first filmed near Roswell New Mexico, somewhere in... 1994!

But I did know, that I was developing a way of spiritual warfare when I was developing my "Last Iwa Steppers" or "Hardcore DUB" style.

I know, especially in retrospective, that I introduced myself on the spiritual battlefield as I was -in my music- talking directly to spiritual entities, and they would listen!

In the meantime, over 13 years have passed and in that time I obviously grew. I am much more conscious of the power that I have in my hands so to speak, when I produce music.

The enemy is aware of this, too.

That is why it took me two weeks to produce the tune "Rhythm Of The Spiritual Warrior".

As soon as I would start on the riddim, an enormous "cloud" would cover my house. A cloud with spiritual poison gas, if you will. It would have an effect that make me very, very tired. I had to fight down the effect of the cloud (I have no other word for it) and fighting it would absorb all my energy too.

However, all of this is spiritual warfare and so I was doing spiritual warfare. It was obvious, that the enemy and his workers did not want this tune to be published. And it was obvious, that Jah had given me the order to fight them down while I was producing the tune.

The tune is also made as a tool in spiritual warfare. No, don't think that you can put the tune on and the demons will flee. No way. Don't even try to experiment with it, because when you play with fire without knowing what you do, you will surely get burned.

Don't think you can manipulate the power in the tune in anyway. Being a spiritual warrior in the Kingdom of JAH is something completely different than being a Warlock in the Queendom of Satan, and the Weapon of the spiritual warriors in Jah Kingdom is Yesus Kristos Himself.

Yesus Kristos will not have Himself be manipulated in any way. So it is HE, Who decides just what will happen with the tune, spiritually spoken. You cannot manipulate Yesus and make Him do what you want Him to do just by playing a tune, oh no!

On the other hand, I do know that Jah uses the tune. You see, there is a specific reason why I produced this tune and why it is named "Rhythm of the Spiritual Warrior". And when you come so far in this article, I think that you really want/need to know.

The tune is my direct answer to a number of spiritual warriors who are fighting on the side of the Queendom of Satan or Babylon. They are cursing my brothers and sisters, putting spells on them so that they will not be able to move forward.

I am talking about serious spiritual warfare here. It involves spells, and even covens of witches and warlocks. Some pretend to be "Christian", maybe some even think they are "Christian". Some attack me, others attack my brothers and sisters who I know to be involved in spiritual war too.

I knew, that the "cloud" I spoke of earlier in this article was a cloud sent to me to keep me from fighting this battle. You see, my major assignment in this spiritual war is to free up the souls of Jah Children. Additionally, I have to assist other warriors in their battles, as they assist me in my battles. For we are all fighting the same war and fighting on the same side, too!

It happens all the time, and it is caused by the fact that we are living in occupied territory, spiritually spoken. When you are Jah child, doing Jah works, whatever you do will expose Babylon and Satan for what they really are. And they feel it BIGTIME, especially the spiritual warriors.

Yes: Babylon and Satan have their musical spiritual warriors, too.

One of them even boldly uses the Dubroom Midifiles and gives them satanic titles, without permission of course, as true sons of Satan will do, in a desperate attempt to curse Jah Works.

Another one will use her coven to put spells over us. We saw this, too. It was the "cloud" that I witnessed and it was also over the heads of some of my fellow spiritual warriors.

The "cloud" would cause fatigue, but would also come with supernatural manifestations in the lifes of my fellow spiritual warriors and myself. Even stronger: sometimes there was even a mention of natural manifestations as "useful idiots" (to use the jargon of Satan's spiritual warriors) were indeed used.

I knew I had to make a statement. A statement that could be heard in the natural and felt in the natural, too. The reason for that is, that the spiritual warriors of Satan are not able to see spiritually in the way that Jah Warriors can do.

Satan's warriors think differently than Jah Warriors and this has everything to do with the level of consciousness. For a spiritual warrior on Satan's side, all (s)he can do is carnal things even when it is done in the spiritual realms.

A spiritual warrior on Satan's side usually deals with her or his soul-consciousness. when they do have a consciousness in their soul of their spirit, they will use their spirits to satisfy the needs of their souls. To them, it is very much a game of survival.

Satan's warriors fight, basically, for themselves. They have given their soul to Satan in exchange for some carnal pleasure, whatever that pleasure may be, and they wish to keep their pleasure going on which cannot be done when there are too much of Jah Warriors around.

On the other hand, they do need Jah Children too. Satan's spiritual warriors are usually vampires who fight to survive... Just like this spiritual warrior on Satan's Side needs my music in order to exist!

So that is why Satan's warriors will localize a few of Jah Warriors, and will try to feed of them. They will try to suck the energy that Jah gives His warriors, but not so much that they will die.

All of this is currently going on BIGTIME in the lifes of some fellow spiritual warriors and myself.

As said, I needed to make a statement. A statement, wherein I identify myself, and also clearly tell what I am doing.

Being a spiritual warrior on the side of JAH has nothing to do with doing spiritual ritual to feed my carnal pleasures. It has nothing to do with showing some macho-strength either.

It has everything to do with chanting down Babylon and the Serpent, and with liberating the soul of Jah Children.... once more!

I truly don't know what plans JAH has with the tune. Really, I don't. I just know a little bit. I know that tune is and will be used to free people, mystically. Who, what, when? I don't know. I just know that it is dangerous to experiment with it, but if you love JAH and want to get to know Him, the tune might just help you getting into a state of prayer.

Music touches the soul, it comes from the soul. When our soul is conscious of our spirit, when our soul is conscious of who we really are in Yesus Kristos, this music we play active or passive may just make that connection kind of clear on the soul level.

JAH IS MY BIBLE!

JAH IS MY BIBLE!



A MEDITATION BY MESSIAN DREAD

WWW, September 2007 - When Jah says that mankind has changed worship of Creator into worship of creation, did He also refer to the "bible-believing" Christians?

In the first verse of the Gospel according to John we can read: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with JAH, and the Word was JAH". Reading on just a little bit more will reveal without the shadow of a doubt, that John refers to Yesus Kristos when he speaks about the "Word of Jah".

It's a deep, profound teaching that John gives there. A teaching of which the implications unfortunately have gone lost to a large portion within what is generally kown as "Christianity" For they will identify the Word of Jah as... The Bible!

People can debate without end about topics, putting scripture against scripture in attempts to "convince" their opponents. People will "expose" "false teachings" just by quoting a few Bible scriptures. People will even study the Bible in order to get themselves some name and fame and power over others!

Never mind the fact, that there is no original manuscript left. Never mind the fact, that the (per)versions contradict each other and themselves. Never mind the fact, that the canon itself isn't even mentioned in the Bible and nobody can really explain just why "the Bible" is "right".

People who criticize "Christianity" will often refer to the fact that with a little bit of intelligence, you can make the Bible say just about anything you want the Bible to say. And it's true, especially when you realize that there are countless of (per)versions that will help everyone to read what they want to read.

But even if we would have the original scrolls, it would not better. The apostle Petrus wrote, that people were twisting the writings of Paulus as well as the other scriptures, and he was referring to the original manuscripts there.

We are give a wonderful example within this very same scripture. We all know about the Pharisees, how they knew their Bibles inside-out and how they loved to use that knowledge to get power over other people. How they even fooled themselves!

When Yesus faced the Pharisees, he told them: "You study the scriptures because you think there is eternal life in there, and you don't recognize Me and don't want to come to Me" (John 5:38 ).

We see this very same mentality within what is commonly known as Christianity. It can be recognized in the phrase: "The Word Of God says...", followed by some quote. A quote from a (per)version, that is. For the original manuscripts are lost.

We see, how many try to put Jah in a book, subsequently study that book, and somehow think that this the key to eternal life, the key to God, yes... God!

We see, that when John writes how the Word is Jah and became flesh, many will de facto believe that this is about the Bible rather than about Yesus Kristos Himself.

Now, why is that?

Why do people need a book, even if it is a translation or (per)version of a manuscript, of which the originals have long been lost? Why do people... need something in this creation and treat it as if this is God Himself?

Indeed.

Asking the question, is answering it.

Oh yes, we all know about the critique from the "bible-believing Christians" about the believe of many of my Rasta brothers and sisters that the Ethiopian Emperor is JAH. But they themselves believe in a book and call it the Word of Jah, Which we know is JAH Himself!

So why do people need that book? Why do people use that book as their Gateway to God? Yes: as God?

Obviously, it has everything to do that we are -in our natural state- unable to reach Jah. Since the fall, we are cut from direct contact with our Creator and all we had left was our place within Creation.

Still, the Creator maintains His Creation. He reveals Himself through Creation too. Jah even steps in His Creation and shows Himself to us many times.

He does so, through the Bible and through the Ethiopian emperor. He does so, by revealing Himself all over creation!

In the last verse of the gospel according to John, the apostle states that Yesus did so many things that if they would all have to be described, the world itself could not contain the books.

So we know, yes, the Creator has really done a lot of things to reveal Himself. But as soon as Jah reveals Himself, a particular law of nature comes into action.

It is the law of decay, that came into place when Adam and Eve ate from the fruit and became initiated in the mystery of iniquity. It is the law that dictates, how nothing in this creation is eternal. How nothing in this creation can last forever. How nothing in this creation is perfect.

It is, if you will: the law of sin.

It is, if you will: to have the knowledge of good and evil, which means nothing else than to have only a partial knowledge of good rather to have something on top of "knowledge of good". (SEE: "TO KNOW GOOD AND EVIL")

Our partial (dis)ability to "see good", which obviously means nothing else but to "see JAH", requires us to initially be confronted with some thing in creation which will refer us to the Creator Himself, Yesus Kristos!

We need something in this creation to show us The Way.

We need a witness.

We need a tangible witness.

We need a tangible witness in this creation in order to find the Way to the Creator. And as a matter of fact, we have a multitude of witnesses around us. From the Bible to the Ethiopian Emperor, from Spirit People to -in fact- the whole of Creation itself.

And this is exactly where many, many people stop. They hear the voice of the Creator clearly through the mouths of His many witnesses. Tangible, audible, visible, you name it. There is no speech or language where His voice is not heard!

Creation itself is a witness. Creation itself is a messenger.

But in some sick variation on the theme, many people are tricked and believe that the messenger is in fact the sender. Many people are tricked into believing, how creation is in fact the Creator.

The mere fact that we need something in this creation to point us out to the Creator, has been transformed by the forces of evil into the very worship of that creation itself!

Our partial disability to see Jah, to "know good", makes us worship that which we do see as if it is JAH!

It makes us worship creation rather than the Creator, even if that creation itself is conscious witness of the Creator and points out to the fact that it is only a witness.

For example: The Bible.

For example: The Ethiopian Emperor

But none of these witnesses are perfect, none of these witnesses in themselves are able to bring us in contact with the Creator.

None of these witnesses ARE Jah!

They can only... show us the Way!

So, then, what is that Way?

Obviously, here we have another question which has the Answer contained in itself. Obviously, there can not be a Way to the Creator if this Way is not the Creator Himself.

Obviously, that Way is Yesus Kristos, JAH manifested in the Flesh.

HE is perfect. HE is without sin. Whether you know it or not, Yesus Kristos is (the Way to) JAH. Whether you know it or not, you can only be in contact with your Creator though (the Door, that Door Which is) the Creator Himself!

Let us therefore know, that we live in a fallen creation. We need a witness, Jah uses witness to speak through, but a witness is a witness.

The Bible is such a witness. It's an imperfect witness, and can also be used to teach false doctrines. It can be used, to manipulate people and is used by Babylon System as the ultimate propaganda tool in what is called the "Judeo-Christian Civilization".

The Bible points out to Yesus Kristos, quite specific. The Bible says of itself, that there is no eternal life in it. The Bible witnesses of itself, that it contains only a description of an aspect of what Yesus Kristos really is doing.

It's not the Bible, that teaches me anything. It's not the Bible, that saved me. It's not the Bible that dictates what is true or not. This is all reserved for the Word of God Himself, and:

The Bible... is not the Word of God!

Yesus Kristos is the Word Of God!

This simple truth opens up the whole Bible, all of a sudden.

When you read stuff like: "Your Word Is A Lamp For My Foot", this really means "Yesus Is The Light".

When you read stuff like: "The Word Of God Is A Two-Edged Sword", and "The Sword Of The Spirit Is The Word Of God", this really means that "Yesus is a two-edged Sword", that "Yesus is the Sword of the Spirit".

Yes, some people really claim that the Sword of the Spirit is the bible. They claim that the Bible is a two-edged sword and a light for our foot. They really think that the devil is afraid for a few Bible Scriptures and that reading the Bible will give us eternal life.

Therefore, when you would use the words "Word of God" and "Bible" interchangeably, I would say that my Bible is JAH.

It is JAH, Who teaches me. He teaches me through the Bible, through creation, through revelation and experience. It is JAH, Yesus Kristos, Who is my Weapon. It is JAH, Yesus Kristos, Who is the Lamp for my foot. It is JAH, Yesus Kristos, Whose teachings are written in my heart.

Sela.

TO "KNOW GOOD AND EVIL"...

TO "KNOW GOOD AND EVIL"...



A MEDITATION BY MESSIAN DREAD

When JAH is good, did He "create evil"? And is there something as "knowledge of evil"? Did Satan and the wicked Watchers really create beings, and how can he appear as an angel of light anyway?

A deep meditation about good and evil.

On our planet, we deal with daytime and nighttime. We deal with the Sun as the source of light during the day, which we call Sunlight. In the night, we usually deal with the moon. When we are romantic, we would speak about having a nice time in the Moonlight, for example.

However, not to spoil the fun here, but there is something wrong with this. No, nothing wrong with being romantic, at least not when you do it in a righteous way, but there something wrong, let's say, physics-wise...

Sometimes, when there are no romantic couples around, I will say: "There is no such thing as Moon light". After an initial chuckle, most will agree. For it is a matter of fact, that the Moon doesn't have any light, as it only reflects the light of the Sun.

Usually, we will see this "Moon Light" when we live in the dark, that is: in the night. The source of light itself will not be visible for us, while at best we will see a reflection of that light within the Moon.

As long as our side of the planet is faced towards the Sun, we will be in the light. We will be able to see what we do, we will be kept warm, as we absorb it's energy: Day.

When we move further away from the Sun along the day, we will see less and less. It will get dark: Night.

Darkness, in itself, is literally nothing.

Darkness is rather the absence, than the presence of something.

That "something" obviously being light. When the light disappears, we will see nothing. We will see, that nothing can grow. Nothing can exist, even. For the light is the source of life.

This is true on our planet, where we are being put to learn about the Creator. This is equally true in the Spiritual and especially the Eternal realms.

When we look to the physical nature of light and darkness, we will see a truth about good and evil that will help us to understand that evil is really nothing, but rather the absence of something.

Let's take a look and see...

Spiritually, our creation lives in a "State of Night". We live in a State of Night. We have moved from Daylight to Night-darkness. We have moved ourselves away from the "Sun", from the Source of Life, our Creator.

In this night, we do have some light, because otherwise we would not be able to see anything at all. Most light is artificial though, and is only taking energy that really could not have been there if there would never have been light in the first place!

In this night, everybody knows about light and darkness. For everybody knows they have to turn on the light in order to chase the darkness away, if they want to do anything at all in the night. Even Moonlight, if you will, is artificial.

Because we are in this night for such a long time, people try to make sense out of the fact that the light is never really there. They think, that darkness and light must co-exist together, as they would think that the light is not as strong as the darkness.

Others would point out to the Moon and call it the Sun. How would they know, as they never saw the Sun in the first place but they definitely saw the Moon!

Yes, there is a "Moon", too. A Shining One, A Reptillian or Nagash, who calls himself the Light Bearer or Lucifer. As this damned lizard is in the Presence of the Most High, accusing the righteous, he will "absorb" the Light of Jah and reflect it to the world in darkness. And that world in darkness is amazed by this Angel of Light, who is a deceiver and has no light in himself.

Ever wondered why he is called "the Shining One"? This is why!

Obviously, this analogy can go on very deep and so it should. It is not for nothing, that good and light are similar concepts within Jah Teachings, and that evil and darkness and are kind of similar too.

Darkness, is really nothing. It is the absence of light.

Evil, is really nothing. It is the absence of good.

How did we get into this night? Why, when and how did we move away from the Source of Life, and what did we think we would gain by turning off the Light?

Did we really believe that there was such a thing as turning on the darkness? Did we really try to fill up a glass with emptiness?

Yes, we did and it worked like this.

Just before He created Adam and Eve, Jah had wiped away darkness with His Presence. This is why, as some people wonder, there was light before Jah (re)created the Sun. We were created in the Light, in Stricktly Goodness. When Jah created us, He said: "it is good", it is "light", it is "positive", it is "constructive"!

We were created with the knowledge of good. We knew Jah, we were in His Presence. We were In The Light!

We had nothing to gain, but everything to lose. And we lost it when we thought we would gain, we turned off the light when we thought we could just turn on a little bit of darkness...

Yes, there was a tree in the Garden of Eden, called: "The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil".

Yes, there was a serpent, or Nagash, meaning "Shining One", who tempted Eve and Adam into taking from the fruit. And nuff can and must be said about this fruit, but not here.

And so, many people think that there is such a thing as "knowledge of evil". Especially because it seems like there truly is a knowledge of evil: the "art" or "torture", for example...

But the actual truth is a little bit different.

Taking from the tree did not somehow "add" "knowledge of evil" to us at all! It only removed a lot of knowledge of good! The light went out for a large degree. It became evening, and night...

The first thing they did, was to cover themselves. Cover themselves, as darkness had covered them for an certain degree. Cover themselves, as darkness covered them!

They didn't gain anything at all.

The same thing happened, when Lucifer became the Devil or Satan.

He was created, full of light. He was even appointed to a high position within Jah Creation, A creation full of light, full of goodness. But according to the ancient books, there was a time in which "iniquity" was "found" in him.

Iniquity is another word for a growing pile of unrighteousness. Sins. Not doing what we are supposed to do. The absence of being good.

Lucifer turned off the light and "became" the devil.

But actually, he didn't become anything at all. He lost what he had to a large degree, and the only light that is in him, is not really in him at all. It is only a reflection of Jah Light.

He is a "shiney one", a nagash, a reptillian, and we know why reptiles "shine", don't we...

The things and beings he "created", are not "created" at all either. For evil is not a creation. Evil is a corruption of creation.

We know from ancient times, that there is such a thing as the "Serpent Seed". We know about the nephilim, the beings that came into existence after the wicked watchers made it with the daughters of men.

But look closer and see: all these beings are only there, because Satan or another evil one will take something from creation and corrupt it. Satan can't create nything at all, he can only take what is not his' and corrupt it.

Much can, and must, be said about the nephilim and the "seed of the serpent", as some of these beings are called in the ancient book of Genes-is.

Today, we know a lot about it as we research the many abduction stories concerning the UFO's and how the evil ones are buisy with genetic modification in order to "create" themselves another perversion, another abomination, another corruption.

When we study all of this closer, we will see how the evil ones have to modify what is already there and are unable to produce anything out of themselves. Like the moon, they have to take some light of the Sun (creation of Jah) and reflect it, shine what is left back to earth (us!) in the hope that some will be fooled into thinking that there is such a thing as Moonlight!

Lucifer will only reflect Jah Light and make some people believe that he really is the light. He will take something from creation and somehow corrupt it in order to make himself a thing to exist, and make some people believe that Lucifer really has a creative power.

Make people believe, that "evil" can be "created" in the first place.

But evil isn't created. Evil is the absence of goodness.

But wait a minute...

Does the Bible not say that "God created evil"?

Well...

Often, the word "destruction" is translated in the Bible for "evil", and this is how people think that Jah "created" "evil", where Jah "only" says that He also destroys things. Puts them out of His Presence, out of the light, in utter darkness.

In the utter darkness, meaning, in the absolute nothing.

If you want to call that "creating evil", well, I guess you can also speak about "putting on the darkness" rather than turning off the light, or speak about "creating ruines" rather than "destroying a building"!

In the darkness, in utter darkness, the ultimate nothing, there is nothing but decay. Nothing will come in existence, but rather everything that is will perish, will be as if it never was.

Yes, we live in the night.

We have artificial light, that is light which is being transformed into light but really is a taking from creation. We have the moonlight, that is the devil himself coming as an angel of light.

We have artificial religion, that is "truth" which is really transformed into "truth" but is de facto a taking from the truth.

Examples?

Sure!

More than we like...

We have fake "Christians", who when you check them out are nothing but Satanists who need to dress up as a Christian in order to exist but are de facto something really different.

They take what is created by Jah, and pervert it into their own abomination. Just shed a little light on them, and you will see.

We have fake "Rasta's", who when you check them out are nothing but hippies who need to dress up as a Rasta in order to exist but are de facto something really different.

They take what is created by Jah, and pervert it into their own abomination. Just shed a little light on them, and you will see.

We have the "creatures of the night": the "nephilim", the "serpent seed", who when you check them out are really not created but rather genetically modified beings, and they need to dress up as a genuine creation of Jah in order to exist.

De facto, they are abominations. They were never created by Jah. They are not "creatures of the day". Just shed a little light on them, and you well see.

They cannot exist when the Sun comes up.

When the New Day comes.

And yes, thank you JAH, this New Day will come!

Haile Selassie's life symbolically and prophetically pointed out to it. The ancient prophets foretold it too. Even Yesus Kristos, Who is JAH HIMSELF predicted it.

JAH will come Personally. The New Day will come, and the Sun Will Shine, the creatures of the night will melt away like wax before the fire.

Sela!

FACING TRIBULATION

FACING TRIBULATION

When Jesus came to earth, He had to face tribulation. Everyone who walks in His footsteps, is guaranteed to have to face the same thing.

When we came to realize that we were sinners, and in need for salvation, we accepted the Good Message of Jesus Christ with thankfulness. Our hearts were filled with joy now that we found eternal security, completely undeserved.

But pretty soon, we would find that not everyone would appreciate our newly found faith. We would find fellow human beings, and even spiritual entities, on our way trying to fight us down.

In the Bible, we can read how Jesus Christ has told us how we would be treated in exactly the same way as He was treated: with scorn, persecution, hatred and ultimately... with deadly torture.

We all have to face this in some way or another. It can be, that you're rejected for "intolerance" because you happen to know that Jesus is the only Way. It can be, that you are put in prison or put to death by antichrist forces because you don't follow wicked laws that say you cannot evangelize.

It's a guarantee: when you are born again, you will have to face tribulation.

Just like Jesus.

And when such tribulation comes, it will never be a joyous thing in the beginning. Every time you're rejected because you happen to love your Creator, is another scarf on your soul.

But still there is much joy, a very deep joy to be found within tribulation. Because when you are persecuted for His Name's sake, it's not about you at all. You are persecuted because in some mystical way, Jesus lives through us and He is the One they are actually persecuting.

But since they can't reach Him where He is now, they turn on His disciples. And knowing that the time is short, we can all expect tribulation to increase on a global scale.

Realizing this -true- nature of persecution and tribulation can therefore be a source of joy. It is a confirmation, that indeed we are the sheep of His pasture. And with that, we're blessed with eternal security that nobody can take away from us.

I PREACH THE GOSPEL

I PREACH THE GOSPEL
BY MESSIAN DREAD



Most Christians would think, "preaching the gospel" means to talk about Yesus to lost sinners. But "preaching the Gospel" goes much further...


I preach the Gospel to satan. I tell him the good news that YESUS is the CONQUERING LION OF JUDAH WHO HAS CONQUERED OVER DEATH AND EVIL, but to him it is bad news...

I preach the Gospel to the demons and fallen angels. I tell them the good news that YESUS is the POWER OF THE TRINITY and that THEY HAVE LOST ALREADY BEFORE THEY EVEN BEGIN, but to them it is bad news...

I preach the Gospel to the Satanists, including those Satanists that speak of their god as "Jesus Christ". I tell them the good news that YESUS is THE ONE AND ONLY TEACHER AND PASTOR, and that THEY HAVE CHANGED THE WORSHIP OF CREATOR INTO THE WORSHIP OF CREATION, but to them it is bad news...

I preach the Gospel to Babylon. I tell her the good news that she is BOUND TO FALL, as YESUS KRISTOS WILL SOON COME IN THIS DIMENSIONAL REALM TO REVEAL THE TRUTH FOR ALL TO SEE, but to her it is bad news...

I preach the Gospel to the seekers of redemption. The ones that desperatly try to seek JAH. For Yesus is Jah and Yesus is the Way. Jah is the Way.

Most of the time, I preach the Gospel to the enemies of JAH. But still I preach the Gospel. It is not about making them repent. Not at all. The Leopards cannot change their spot.

The Ethiopian cannot change his skin. Whether Spiritual or Carnal or Both. I am who I am.

When I am created to be with Jah forever, I will become born again in this life. I might even become born again at the end of this life like the sinner on the cross with Yesus.

When I am not created by Jah, I will not become born again. I might go to church and thing and think I am born again but I am not born again at all.

It is not up to us.

What is up to us is to preach the Gospel.

When I do spiritual warfare I preach the Gospel. When I reason with people I preach the Gospel. When I write a review I preach the Gospel. When I breath I preach the Gospel.

And I will give thanks for everyone that has eyes to see and ears to hear.

SPIRITUAL WARRIORS

SPIRITUAL WARRIORS
BY MESSIAN DREAD



In the Kingdom of JAH, there are Spiritual Warriors. Some of them are known, others are not. But who are they, and what are they doing?

A spiritual meditation...


Spiritual Warriors of JAH, you know who you are. This is a meditation from the Ites of I...

Some of us are known and others are not known. Some of us are still waking up to who we are, others are growing into a deeper knowledge where they were aware of themselves.

Spiritual Warriors fight the good fight. Like all Spirit People, it has to do with our own trod in Christ as we fight down the sin in our flesh from our spirit by the means of our soul. Sure thing there. Yes, that is the good fight.

But there is more to Spiritual Warfare and it has to do with let's say the bigger picture. The picture that goes beyond our own lifes.

What is that big picture?

Well, in short: it is the story of the Creator with his creation. The Story of the Eternal One, seen from within the timely realms where we speak about a present, a past and a future. The Story of the Eternal One, in an understanding that JAH deals with things from HIS Perspective, not ours.

It is the story of mankind, fallen in sin. Creation, fallen in sin. It is the story of all kinds of beings, all kinds of warfare, as darkness is desperatly trying to find a different way to hide for the light than just to dissapear.

JAH uses angels, warrior angels even, in this war. No, not that He needs anyone to fight for Him. That would be foolishness to think. After all, He is the Creator. But He chooses to use created beings like warrior angels.

Jah also uses Spirit People in this. Spirit People, born again in Yesus Kristos and therefore born of JAH. Higher than the angels when it comes to their spirits, lower than the angels when it comes to their bodies. And within their soul there is always a lot of things going on as well.

Spiritual Warriors are ones who have learned by JAH, not in a book and not in anything other than the teaching of Yesus Kristos Himself, to connect between their soul and their spirit.

The spirits of the born again spiritual warrior, namely, is born of Jah and knows excactly what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. Even why it should be done.

So there is no problem there at all.

When John speaks about that what is born of Jah cannot sin, does not need to be taught et cetera, John speaks about our spirits.

In our soul there is a different story.

Our souls are kind of like the nerve-center for everything. Even though our spirits and our bodies are self-aware, our main consciousness is our soul consciousness and therefore we do not always know in our soul who we are in spirit.

Jah teaches people to use their soul to listen to their spirits rather than the sin in their flesh, rather than their flesh even. We call this spiritual growth but actually it is a growth in the soul as it connects more and more with our spirits.

Spiritual Warriors are also involved in this process. Their souls and their spirits connect as their spirits, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit of Jah, do spiritual warfare.

This warfare is manifold. But most of the time, it has to do with setting captives free. It has to do with chanting down strongholds which are like fortresses in the spiritual realms but they have also their localities here in this world.

The warfare also has to do with breaking down Babylon. Yes, that is right. The Queendom of Lucifer in all her facets, is falling. To many of us it seems like Babylon and the New World Order are like building things, and even reaching to their purpose and goal, but in fact Babylon is heading for her own downstruction.

Spiritual Warriors fight in the spirit. They will free souls that are held captive. Souls of possessed people, for example. Souls of slaves held in bondage by their slavemasters, under trauma based mind control.

Spiritual Warriors will also be on the offense. They will agressively chant down Lucifer and his soldiers, they will fight against beings that some call "aliens", or "spirits", or "duppies", these are all the same.

Spiritual Warriors will not fight flesh and blood. But this means, the flesh and blood of humans. Like the sons and daughters of Eve, the seed of the woman if you will.

When David slew Goliath, David was NOT fighting flesh and blood. He was fighting the nephilim BIGTIME.

But the difference between David and I and I in this dispensation is that our weapons are not carnal. We will never touch the body of a demon possessed individual, a Satanist, et cetera. We will not need a physical slinger to kill Goliath. But we will fight their spirits.

Our weapons?

Well, even the Bible speaks about it. The Bible speaks about "The Sword Of The Spirit Which Is The Word Of JAH". YESUS.

I and I only have one weapon. And it is the Power of the Trinity. The NAME of YESUS. As He guides our spirits in this battle, we simply use one weapon.

Yes the weapon may look like a sword, spiritually. In the spiritual realms. But it can also look like a lasergun, or whatever. Just a beam of light. That's not important.

Our Weapon is YESUS KRISTOS Himself!

THREE LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

THREE LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
BY MESSIAN DREAD



As we trod forward in what is usually called "Spiritual Growth", there is one thing that is kind of really important to know about ourselves. Or maybe I should say: three things.


In debates about the Trinity, I usually refer to the fact that we as humans are little trinities ourselves. I find the fact that we are created in His Image kind of relevant here, too.

How can it be, that we have the Father, the Son, the Spirit, all having a Self-consciousness and still One Person? Pages, pages, pages of debate...

As usual, we only have to look within to find many answers. We only have to look to ourselves in order to see how this "can" be...

Well, simple.

We are Body, Soul, Spirit, and all these three "aspects" of us have a self-consciousness.

Our bodies have a self-consciousness. We can find this out by simply realizing that our brains will tell our hearts to keep beating, for example. This is a self-consciousness of our bodies, that "we" are not always aware of.

"we"? Yes. Usually, when we talk about "me, we", we talk about that second aspect of us: our souls. In our souls we feel, we meditate, et cetera. In our soul, our personality can be found and every artist as well as music lover knows that the soul is very, very real.

We are not aware of the self-consciousness of our bodies. At least, not to the fullness. We would become crazy if we would have to keep our bodies alive on a soul-conscious level.

Now, watch this.

This very same principal applies to our spirits, too.

Let me just speak about the situation as it applies to ones who are born of Spirit.

Our souls are not always, not fully, aware of what our spirits are doing. Our spirits, born of JAH, can not sin, will not stop praying, will work for JAH, will not have to learn anything.

When we talk about "we", when we talk about "consciousness", all of the above is very relevant to take into consideration.

For what do we mean with "consciousness"?

Which level are we speaking about?

Usually, we will be conscious on the soul level. Our souls will be conscious of the self-consciousness of our bodies, too, but only to a certain degree.

Just try to breath consciously in your soul, use your soul to make your body breathe, and you will know what I talk about here: there really is a self-consciousness of the body that we do not always have in our souls.

And this goes for our spirits, too!

I believe, that what we call "growth" is not as much that our spirits grow, but it is more that our souls become more and more aware of our spirits.

However, most people will not reach this level. And the reason for that is, that they are not able to discern between what is their soul and what is their spirit.

And I have seen this too many times.

People getting in total confusion because they do not know that what they think is their spirit in reality is their soul.

That's why I started explaining to people, how we have these three levels of consciousness.

there is much more to say about this, I hope that I could give your soul a little bit food for thought, I hope that Jah will use this meditation too...

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPIRITUAL AND SUPERNATURAL

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPIRITUAL AND SUPERNATURAL
BY MESSIAN DREAD



More often than not, the word "spiritual" somehow refers to the supernatural. But is this a one-on-one comparance?
A meditation.

Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Gal/Gal005.html#19

Just this year, Jah told me to be more open in a certain part of what I do for Jah, which has to do with spiritual warfare. Demonic things, supernatural things.

And we often think, how the supernatural and the spiritual are interchangeable concepts.

But, looking at this scripture from the Book of Galatians, witchcraft -a thing we often see as supernatural and rightly so- is called a "work of the flesh".

There's much more scriptures that say the same thing. Somewhere in Collosensians Paulus says that all these things are just for the satisfaction of the flesh!

We can hardly call the flesh "spiritual", so what's going on here?

I will not pretend I know what's going on, but I do think I tasted a little bit from what is going on.

When you are spiritually dead, not yet born again, you can be involved in all kinds of supernatural things. Witchcraft, whatever.

But it is just to satisfy the flesh.

Using supernatural stuff in order to get yourself some revenge over some stupid carnal fuss-or fight, for example. Brag about being able to see UFO's all the time, is another thing. Just to be sensational, for it sure..... FEELS good.

But these feelings are all carnal.

Even the eastern mystics who completely deny themselves carnal lusts (and some of them actually manage to come very far there) are -by trying to save themselves- serving yet other carnal lusts.

The feeling to be enlightened, for example...

So, I'm not saying I know it all or so. I don't. But I do know there's a difference between supernatural and spiritual and even though there are overlaps and thing, I think that for those who are born of spirit -you know who you are- this is a relevant piece of information.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE - A MEDITATION

SPIRITUAL WARFARE - A MEDITATION




WWW, July 25 2007 - Every (wo)man is born Body Soul Spirit. A body with sin, a soul that is fragile and will get hurt, and a dead spirit.

When we are born again, we are born is spirit. This means, born of the Holy Spirit! That is something which we can not really understand, but it means in practice that we have been given a new spirit.

This spirit is self-conscious, but we are not always aware of that, for our perception is usually only in the soul and the body. Our spirits will communicate with the Holy Spirit of the Living Jah, also called the Spirit of Yesus Kristos Who Is Jah In The Flesh anyway.

Our spirits are, the word says it, in the spiritual dimensions. These are connected with, yet totally different from our 4 Dimensional world, also called the "physical" or the "natural".

We are also set within this spiritual world, and most of the time we will not realize this on the conscious level as our bodies are not made for such things on a long term scale.

Our spirits know what to do, when to pray what to pray, when to fight, which weapons to use, where to be. Our spirits are born of Jah and what is born of Jah cannot sin.

For there is a war.

Jah people, spirit people, do not fight flesh and blood. But I and I will fight down strongholds, false doctrines as well as spiritual "fortresses" of evil, will set the captives free who are being held captive by these forces of darkness.

But how?

As said, we already know.

We don't have to learn, we have to learn what we know. We don't "have to be", for we ARE.

Jah Warriors, are spiritual warriors. Some of them do not know who they are yet, but this doesn't mean they are not soldiers fighting for their spirit is fighting.

Gradually, the Lord is showing us more and more about our spirits. Gradually, at HIS initiative (not our's, never look for a fight if you are not led to do so), we will be led towards levels of consciousness within our souls, too...

As our souls get more and more connected with our spirits and less and less with the sin in our flesh (not: our flesh), we will gradually learn to fight on a soul-conscious level too...

Still, we don't fight flesh and blood.

But the enemy definitely fights against our flesh and blood!

He will come with temptations. And temptations can be many things! He might tempt us with proposals to cool it down with that Burning Fire Within. He might tempt us with our trauma's, try and trigger them to make us commit sin or become a mindless slave.

And the reason the enemy will attack us in our soul, is because he cannot find us in the spirit. Our spirits, born of Jah, are with Jah in Eternity. And this means, that our spirits have always been with Jah even though we might think we are only born again for such-and-such time. That is how solid our spiritual position is.

The more we fight against temptations to make us obey the sins in our flesh, the more we will fight the good fight, the spiritual fight of Go(o)d over (d)evil, the more we will be revealed things on our soul-level, the level in which I write this piece of meditation.

It's nothing personal, though...

The enemy might use weapons against us that seem to be aimed at us personally, and as a matter of fact they really are, but they are directed at us because we are being positioned strategically by the Most High Himself.

The battle we fight on a personal level, namely, is not just related to the sins in our flesh and overcoming it. That is just what we have to do, the reason why we have to do that is much more interesting to check out as it will greatly motivate us to not deal with the sins in our flesh.

Jah Jah uses us in a very big war, that has many different battles. And we are led from battle to battle.

This is why, sometimes, "out of nothing" we can receive a temptation. A temptation to listen to a lie, for example. A feeling of depression. People start yelling at us for no reason.

The enemy will always tell us that the temptations, the battle we are in, are related to us not being good enough and all that BS from the pit of hell.

But it has nothing to do with that.

One reason why the enemy tempts us, is because we are in his ways. The Lord JAH has put us in a place, often without us knowing it ourselves, where there is a battle for a specific reason.

Another reason why the enemy tempts us, is because the enemy is evil and darkness is his covering. Darkness being the absence of light. Evil being the absence of good.

You could say, even that darkness and evil are an illusion, they really are nothing at all, they are the absence of something. You don't "turn on the darkness", you don't "build a ruine".

Because these things are so, that is why the evil one has to deal with the light still. This is why the evil one has to deal with good, too. Because the enemy is also a parasite.

The enemy cannot come up with his own energy, for example. He needs I and I to suck dry. That's why he wants to tempt people sexually, for example. For the sexual energy is life energy, and that is what the enemy must have too.

Or that is why he imitates our Culture and our Art.

The enemy must feed on us, for Jah doesn't feed him.

But Jah does feed us!

And that is why we must be carefull. We must be carefull for the enemy wants to steal the blessing that Jah gives us. Jah will surely not bless the enemy, and that is why he has to try and steal it from us.

I can give many examples how these things go...

But they are all related to the fact that we are newborn creations in Jah, nothing else.

So let us fight the spiritual fight, against the temptations, let us carry the fruits of JAH Spirit, Yesus Kristos in us.

JAH is good.

BIBLE MEDITATION: SIGNS AND SIGHTS

BIBLE MEDITATION: SIGNS AND SIGHTS

Those who know a little bit about the runnings in the world today, know a little bit about it's alarming situation.

Or should I say: situations? After all: wars, pestilences, earthquakes and tsunami's are just four situations...

Watching the news for five minutes and realizing the implications of it, is enough to drive someone completely insane.


Add to that, the ancient prophecies. It doesn't take a life-long of studying the book of the Apocalypse to realize how everything is being described in a rather realistic way. Even the New Agers have their doomsday, set around December 2012.

Many people who know themselves to be saved by Yesus Kristos are very much afraid, too. They know, that the signs-of-the-times are in full effect and one of these signs is a persecution as never before seen on the face of the earth. Our Lord also referred to a return of "the days of Noah", of which research has unearthed some very disturbing things too.

And while we have to suffer persecution on a global scale as part of our direct future, the ones who will persecute us will have to endure an even greater judgement as the angels of JAH pour out expressions of His wrath on Babylon system and the wicked one(s).

Reasons to be disturbed? You bet!

And so, many are disturbed indeed...

But let's look a little further.

How do we know about all these things? Or even better: Who told us all these things? Why do we know them to be true? Is it not because we are convinced by the Holy Spirit of Jah Himself?

And so, when we listen to His Voice, we must listen to His complete voice. And please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this as some kind of critique. I'm saying it as an encouragement.

Let's quote our good Lord God and Saviour Yesus Kristos:

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet. (Matthew 24:6)

What we are beholding, are the signs and fulfillments of prophecy. Like a woman giving birth to her child, everything will intensify until this point in time called "the end".

So what we are looking at, is the last of this time wherein injustice and Babylon system seem to run things. When everything is fulfilled, we will behold a New Heaven and a New Earth. That's where everything leads to.

So let us see that we are not troubled. We will suffer, but this sufferation will not be as much as the ones who will endure Jah Wrath. And we will behold a New Heaven and a New Earth.

One Love,
Messian Dread
