Beware of a Spiritual Cancer in the Body of Christ

A cancer is growing in the body of Christ, the church. It is a heresy that is spreading throughout the land. Many are being bewitched by a rather “righteous and holy” appearing doctrine. It is a false doctrine that seems true to the uninitiated and unlearned. It is the very same doctrine that was running wild throughout the era of the early church during the first and second century A.D.

This doctrine deceives people into thinking that by their own might and will they can keep the Ten Commandment Law–that by working to keep the law, they can be righteous in the Savior’s eyes. In fact, they are led to believe that by keeping the law, they will be justified by God; God will see that they are righteousness.

Someone will say, What’s wrong with that? Why are you putting them down? Keeping the Commandments is a good thing, isn’t it? Yes, the law is holy and good; it is the perfect law of liberty. The catch is that the old carnal nature cannot successfully keep it on its own strength. Only through the Spirit of God dwelling in us can we keep the law.

Paul writes about such matters. And because the apostle’s writings are diametrically opposed to this cancerous doctrine of trying-to-keep-the-law-on-our-own-strength-and-not-by-His-Spirit-dwelling-within, some people are rejecting Paul’s teachings! I have heard people say that Paul is in error! They reason that he could not be correct because he does not agree with their interpretation of scripture.

Well, God has news for them. Paul has a direct revelation from God, and the world would do well to take heed to what the Spirit through Paul is saying.

If You Throw Out Paul, You Must Throw Out the Rest of the NT Writings

If you get rid of his letters to us, then you will have to finally reject the rest of the New Testament. Peter will be the next one that the cancer consumes, for Peter believed that Paul was a prophet and an apostle of God (II Peter 3: 14-15). Peter said that Paul was a beloved brother, had wisdom from God, and that Paul was writing things that agreed with Peter’s thoughts. Peter did say that Paul wrote things that were hard to understand for the “unlearned and unstable,” who wrestle with his writings, “as they do the other scriptures.” Peter considered Paul’s writings of the same caliber and quality as the other inspired writings of the prophets and patriarchs.

Consequently, if you throw out Peter, you will eventually have to throw out James and John and Matthew and the other original disciples because they were all “in one mind and one accord” on the day of Pentecost in the upper room. They all saw eye to eye spiritually. And they all received the same immersion in the Holy Spirit and fire (Acts 2: 1-4).

The exploits of the early church are set forth in Luke’s book of the Acts of the Apostles. Luke, who had “perfect understanding of all things from the very first” (Luke 1: 3), vindicates Paul’s ministry, devoting 2/3 of Acts to it.

So let’s take an inventory. Those who throw out Paul must throw out also the gospels, Acts, Paul’s letters, James, the letters of Peter, John, Jude, and Revelation. Not much left of the Savior’s first coming and of His death, burial, and resurrection. All that is left is a looking forward to a first coming of the Messiah. This cancerous doctrine will leave you hopelessly wandering to the nearest synagogue in search of others who are hopelessly trying to keep the 10 Commandments on their own strength.

This cancer is devouring the faith of many who have discovered the Sacred Names of Yahweh and Yahshua. Since they are names in the Hebrew tongue, the unlearned think that all things Hebrew is the answer, including getting into the Law of the Old Testament. The cancerous teaching is called “the works of the law” being our way to be justified, as if we could keep them in our own strength. The law leads us to Christ and His Spirit. After receiving His Spirit, His Spirit keeps the commandments by faith in the Christ of the New Testament.

As you explore the beauty of the sacred names of the Father and Son, beware of this cancer that is a “cunningly devised fable” that would deceive the very elect if it were possible. Oh, by the way, Paul and Peter warned us of it. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Yahshua, the Savior’s Hebrew Name–Much Meaning Found Inside

The Savior’s Hebrew name is Yahshua. That name was spoken by the angel Gabriel. He was a heavenly being and would not have spoken a name that is the English rendition of the Latin Iesus nor the Greek Iesous.

The Son of God has a Hebrew name. And His Hebrew name has significant meaning. In fact, the very translation of His name confirms the fact that the Supreme Being–the same One who appeared to the patriarchs and prophets, came in human flesh to this earth some 2,000 years ago. The Father was in the Son doing the works and speaking the words, according to the Savior. “God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself” (II Cor. 5: 19).

The Self-Existent One Is the Savior

The name “Yahshua” is the same name of the Hebrew patriarch Joshua, who was a type of Christ as he led the people of God into the promised land. The name can be broken down into two sounds or two words. First, “Yah” means “the Self-Existent One.” Second, “shua” in the Hebrew means “the Savior.” Put together, the Savior’s name Yahshua means “The Self-Existent One Is the Savior.” Or, to put it another way, Yah Is Savior, which is the title of my first book ( https://immortalityroad.wordpress.com/book-yah-is-savior-the-road-to-immortality/ ). The doctrine of one God has actually been embedded inside of the Savior’s Hebrew name for all now to see.

God has left His name for us as a memorial, something to remember Him by. It not only helps us remember, but also helps us understand who He really is and what He has done for us–for His name’s sake.

The Savior commands us to “believe in His name.” This means to believe the message contained in His name–Yahshua. In fact, condemnation comes for not believing one thing. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3: 18).

How does one believe in His Hebrew name? One believes the message contained in the meaning of His name.

For some this will not make much sense at first glance. But we have to think outside the boxed-in concepts of traditional Christianity that has utterly come up short of providing what the prophets and apostles had. A good place to start is exploring the meaning of His Hebrew name. The spiritual wealth found there is beyond price. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Manifestation of the Sons of God–The Power Comes from Believing on His Name

With so many things screaming at us today–unemployment, recession, depression, the stock market collapse, mortgage crisis, layoffs, bills, family problems–no wonder it is difficult to keep the center of our thoughts on God’s plan and purpose.

Most do not know His eternal purpose, but even if they did, that knowledge would be drowned out by the “cares of this life” (Matt. 13: 22-23). And His vision for us on earth is choked out by fears.

But His eternal purpose remains steadfast. We must keep reminding the sheep of His pasture of their calling as His heirs–His sons and daughters. For His eternal purpose is that He is “bringing many sons unto glory.”

For if we keep His thoughts in mind, we shall never fall to the evil conspiracy that runs amok on every level of earthly existence.

You Shall Know the Truth

But our adversary, the devil, does not want us to glimpse the truth, for he knows it will make us free of the fear that is flung into every heart on this earth. Still Christ’s own promise is this: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8: 32).

What truth is He talking about? He said, “I am the truth.” So let’s examine Christ (the Truth) a moment so that we can know just what truth really is. Yes, He is the Son of God, but He promised that we, too, would be His sons and daughters. “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name (John 1: 12).

Two points here that we must keep in mind in order to overcome the negative onslaughts that undermine us. First, God will give power to those who receive Christ–power to become just like Him, a son and daughter of God. Second, these will believe on His name. Very important. His original Hebrew name is Yahshua (like the patriarch’s English name “Joshua”). And this name has a specific meaning–a meaning that we need to believe!

The Meaning of the Savior’s Hebrew Name

“Yahshua” means, “The Eternal Self-Existent One (YAH) is the Savior (SHUA). The “Truth” is this: Yahweh dwelt in and walked around in the man known as Jesus Christ of Nazareth. And He, Yahweh, is the Savior (II Cor. 5: 19; Isa 43: 11).

They are one. And that is exactly what Christ said. “I and my Father (Yahweh) are one.” The Father resided in the body of the Son. Now we are the Son’s body, and by the Spirit’s presence, the Father now resides in us.

This is how “The Truth,” Christ, is being multiplied in a body of many people. The apostle Paul said that we will be glorified, and that this whole earth is waiting for this very event–“the manifestation of the sons of God” (Romans 8: 18).

Heirs of God, Joint Heirs with Christ

The vision that we shall be His heirs in His kingdom, clothed with a new spiritual body like Christ’s–this is the great theme of Paul and the other apostles’ writings. Some will become like Christ! There–I said it.

So the question then becomes this: Who of all the six billion on earth will answer this “holy calling” of sonship? Who will “lay their hands to the plow and not look back? Who will “sell all they have” in order to make their “calling and election sure”? Who will tell Him, “It is I, Lord, send me”? Who will “study to show themselves approved”? Who will be feeding His lambs and sheep the true spiritual food when He comes back to earth to establish His government? Who will “stand in the gap” and lay it on the line, unafraid of what man can do to them? Who will be found worthy in the end to do the “greater works” that Christ spoke of?

The future sons and daughters of God are in the earth today. The last question we need to answer is this: Am I going to be one of them? Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Father’s Name Guards Us from the Evil–Do We Know It?

In Christ’s prayer recorded in John 17, the Father’s name takes center stage as to our relationship with the Father.

He said, “I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world…” (v. 6). I have shown clearly thy name; I have made it apparent; I have made it known to them. And they have believed that You have sent Me; they have kept My word, and they believe that it is You, Father, who is doing the works. And they know that I came out of You, and that it is You who has sent Me (vs. 6-8).

Christ goes on to say that it is His followers that He is praying for and not the world because they are the Father’s, who has given them to Christ. And the time has come, He is saying, for Him to depart out of the earth, leaving His followers. So how will they remain in one mind and one accord with the Savior. How will God keep them spiritually safe and sound after Christ departs?

The answer is through the knowledge of the Father’s name. “Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given Me…” There is keeping power in the name of Yahweh. The Greek word for “keep” means “to attend to carefully, to attend, to guard,” and is translated in other places as “to preserve.” So, He is guarding us from the evil for this purpose—“that they may be one, as we are one” (vs. 9-11). One could then say that we are never be fully one with God without knowing His name.

He goes on to say that while He was walking with them here on earth, He “kept them in thy name,” and none of them is lost except Judas Iscariot. He “kept” them; He guarded them. How? By teaching them and showing them and revealing to them the Father’s name. For in His name is the whole plan of God (v. 12).

Christ goes on to ask the Father to not give them an escape hatch “out of the world,” but rather guard and keep them from the evil. “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one” (v. 15, NKJV) {Side note: That speaks against the rapture theory}.

Now some will say that this prayer is only for His twelve disciples, His followers of that era. But it is for all of us down through the ages. “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word” (v. 20). That’s us. He was praying for you and me, so we can take these concepts to heart.

Consequently, if Christ is going “keep” and guard you and me from the evil by manifesting the Father’s name to us that we all may be one with Him, then how can that happen when very few Christians know that the Father’s name is Yahweh?

Christ’s desire is that all of us His followers “would be with Me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which You have given Me” (vs. 24). He desires that we all “may be made perfect in one” (v. 23). But we have to ask ourselves, How can this happen if a Christian doesn’t know the Father’s name Yahweh, which God uses to guard us from the evil?

And lastly in this prayer in John 17, Christ repeats, “And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it…” For this specific reason: “That the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.” Let’s savor this. He is saying, I have made known, shown clearly, Your name, Father, and I will continue to make it known, for this reason: That the same love You have loved Me with may be in My followers. And that My very essence and Spirit of love may be in them!

Here the very love and presence of God is tied into the knowledge of God’s name. His name means “The Self-Existent One” and Yahweh is the Savior, which is what the Son of God’s Hebrew name means—Yahshua.

Inside, God’s name contains and reveals the very nature of Himself. God is Love. Him being the Savior of His creation reveals or unveils His essence, which is Love. For “greater love hath no man than this than to lay down his life for his friends.” This essence of the greatest love on earth, giving your life to save someone else is implicit in the name of the Savior. This is the reason that our hearts are touched and moved when we hear of someone giving up their own lives to save someone else. It touches us because it is the heart of God and shows us what He has done, whether we realize it or not.

He guards us from the selfishness of the evil one, when we think on His name and how He gave His life for us.

For the great invisible Spirit Yahweh poured Himself into a human form so that He could express fully the love that is His essence. It is through realizing this knowledge of His love contained in His name that we can receive that same love—that God, who is Love, may dwell in our hearts, and that He and His love would thrive and grow in our hearts, so that we could make known who God is by the love exhibited through us to others.

And thus fulfill Christ’s prayer. “I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.” Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Casting Our Pearls Before Swine–When to Share the Sacred Names

A fellow Christian asked me one time, “Why don’t people believe me when I share the sacred names of God with them?”

I related to them that first of all, this walk that we have been called to is a lonely pilgrimage. I have found that for the vast majority of people on the planet, their basic spiritual need is not the sacred names but the cross experience. The sacred names are wonderful revelations, but they are “meat” and not the “milk of the word.”

People need to be brought to the “cross.” For they cannot spiritually comprehend the deeper things of God without the “spiritual eyes” received by a true conversion to Christ. They must first die with Christ, be buried with Him, and by faith be “raised to walk in a newness of life” through faith in His resurrection. Then they will be ready to go deeper into the heavier spiritual food, the “meat of the word.”

That begs the question: How will we know when to share the deeper truths with someone? What is the characteristic sign that shows us who needs “the milk of the word” and who needs “meat”? The person who uses and needs milk are the babes in Christ, or children. They haven’t grown into spiritual adulthood yet. For they “are unskilful in the word of righteousness” (Heb. 5: 13-14). The word of righteousness is present in a Christian when they have the gift of the Spirit called the
word of knowledge.” This is the ability to explain and teach another how the righteousness of God is attained. They have experienced the cross and “have been raised to walk in a newness of life.”

In that same passage we see that “strong meat belongs to them that are of full age.” Through their many spiritual experiences, they with God’s help can “discern both good and evil.” They can discern what is true and what doctrine is false. A child of God is “dull of hearing” and lacks discernment.

We must “not cast our pearls before swine.” The Savior knew that if we give stronger truth to those without a new heart, that they would reject it out of hand. Paul, experiencing this very thing said that “he was determined to not share anything with them except Christ crucified”–or, the death, burial, and resurrection of their old selves with Christ.

I’ve done the same thing, sharing wonderful things of God to those who cannot receive it. But I know that some will. Those nurtured through the apostles’ doctrine–the first two being “repentance from dead works” [the aforementioned cross experience] and “faith toward God” (see Hebrews 6: 1-2).

We must first lay the “foundation of repentance from dead works and faith toward God.” In order for someone to be the spiritual temple of God, they must have a good foundation.

Those of us who have run into this experience should be encouraged that we are not alone in our spiritual trek, and that there is a reason why God has revealed Himself and His truth to us. And, of course, our first reaction is to share it all with everyone. We all have done this. But He does not want all of it shared with everyone. I know that is ironic, but it is true. Just look at the parables, which are the “dark sayings” that deliberately cloud the meaning of the mysteries of His kingdom for those who are not meant to receive it! Incredible.

We still need to witness the truth to others–but that part of the truth that really meets their true need, which usually is the cross experience. KWH

”John the Baptist–The Forerunner of Yahweh”–Chapter 14 of the book YAH IS SAVIOR: THE ROAD TO IMMORTALITY

The central revelation of scripture is that Yahweh of the old books came in human form as Yah-Is-Savior or Yahshua, known to the world as Jesus Christ. To further prove this, we need only go to the Messiah’s forerunner, John the Baptist. Everyone knows that John came in the spirit and power of Elijah and pointed the multitudes to the Messiah.

We learned earlier that the Spirit of the Messiah was in the prophets. His Spirit speaks through them. The voice of John was crying in the wilderness telling the people to prepare Yahweh’s way in the earth. “The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” Isaiah 40: 3. We definitely know that this is speaking of John the Baptist because Matthew quotes this passage in his gospel. “For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 3: 3.

Examining this we see that John was saying for them to prepare “the way of the LORD.” Matthew quotes Isaiah who wrote down the original prophecy that John would fulfill. We have already proven above that “the LORD” is the title that the translators chose to substitute for “Yahweh,” the Hebrew name of God. Yahweh is, in fact, the very name of the Creator, our Maker, the Ruler of heaven and earth (see above in Ex. 3: 15 where Moses was told that Yahweh was His “name forever and is my memorial unto all generations”). Now let us read this passage that John was fulfilling again: “Prepare ye the way of Yahweh (the LORD).

John the Baptist, when he fulfilled this prophecy in Isaiah, knew perfectly well who was arriving on the scene. He certainly knew who he was announcing. I was none other than Yahshua, the Anointed One, the Messiah. He was saying, Prepare the way of Yahweh. He is coming in human form–in a human flesh body. Yahweh is come to save His people from their sins. Yah-in-human-form is Yahweh’s way to give man hope in the resurrection. The appearance of Yah in a human flesh body, is the way Yahweh makes Himself known to His creation (“I and my Father are one…If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father”).

John the Baptist was that voice of one, the forerunner of Yahweh and His coming in human flesh. “Prepare the way of Yahweh. Make His paths straight.” Those are Yahweh’s paths, where He would be walking literally in human form. Jesus/Yahshua (Yah-Is-Savior is what it means in Hebrew) is His way; He is the way, the path, the course leading us from death to life, from mortality to immortality. Yahshua/Yah-Is-Savior is The Road to Immortality, which happens to be the title of this book.

John was the forerunner of Yahweh. He was the last of the old testament prophets, for he announced the blessed appearance of Yahweh in human form. He was the herald of the fulfilling of all the prophecies of all the other prophets of olden times. He was more than a prophet, for it was John who bore witness to Yahweh’s coming as the Messiah.

Everyone will tell you that Isaiah 9: 6 speaks of the Messiah, the one they call Jesus Christ. “Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.” The Everlasting Father? The Christ child would grow up to become the “Everlasting Father”?

Everyone will tell you that John was the forerunner of Christ the Messiah. And all will tell you that Isaiah 9: 6 speaks of Christ. Therefore, John was the herald of “The Everlasting Father,” Yahweh Himself–in human form!

“God Is a Spirit”–Chapter 13 of YAH IS SAVIOR: The Father is Spirit Dwelling in Human Form (the Son)

Chapter 13 The Father Is Spirit Dwelling in Human Form (the Son)

Step Three that we are taking is obtaining the knowledge of what the essence of the Godhead truly is. We absolutely must know in a fuller way just who the true Supreme being is. We may think that we already know who He is, yet Paul says that godliness is a great mystery. If “few there be that find this way of truth,” then where does that leave the countless hundreds of millions of professing Christians who can’t agree on anything? Which “few” amongst the hundreds of millions are right?

We can sit tight thinking we have a pat hand when it comes to the knowledge of who He is, or we can remain open to further revelation. The former is truly dangerous, for if we think we have arrived and have not, and seek no further, we just may come up short. If we remain open, however, then even if we have all knowledge of Him, we cannot be hurt.

The Savior Yahshua said in John 7:37: “He that believes upon Me, as the scripture has said (the way that the written word really portrays the Savior), out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” The next verse states that He was talking about the Spirit that believers would receive after He was glorified. The Spirit just doesn’t come and manifest Himself if we have not believed on Yahshua the way the scripture has said that He really is. Then the Spirit will make Himself known, flowing and gushing out from within our innermost being like a mighty river. But we must know Him as He is truly portrayed in the scriptures. Those of us who do not come to the full truth of what He is like, who He is, and how He operates, will not have the privilege of the Spirit streaming out of our mouths, pouring out salvation unto this troubled world. We must seek to find out who He really is.

We look to Yahshua to tell us truthfully about the Father, for grace and truth came by Him. He shared some major truth about the true nature and worship of the Father in John 4 to the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. He asked her for a drink. When she hesitated because He was not from those parts, He said that if you knew who was asking you for a drink, you would have been asking Him for the rivers of living water, the Spirit. You would have asked…v. 10. He thought that she should have known that one needs to ask, and it shall be given. He modeled that behavior of “asking” by requesting a drink of her. He was thinking that if she really knew God, how He operates, then she would have asked of Him, and she would have received the Spirit, the living water. And once having drunk of the Spirit, it would have grown into “a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life” (v. 14). It would have eventually led to immortality.

She then gives fleshly, conventional, non-spiritual wisdom as to the way man worships God. She says that her family has always been _________________ (you fill in the denomination, religion, organization, or affiliation). And we’ve always worshipped this way. Our fathers worshipped on this mountain. V. 20. “Mountain” denotes a physical location, place, or situation. You say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Again, we see a division into two camps, two traditions, two physical locations, two dogmas. Both are utterly devoid of spiritual truth; both are looking on the temporary fleshly things of man’s concept of worshipping and not His true way of worshipping Him.

The Savior then straightens her out and tells her that the Father is not worshipped in either geographical location. In fact, “you worship what you do not know,” but we know what we worship, for the truth was delivered to Jacob/Israel (v. 21-22; Psm. 149:19). “True worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father also does seek such to worship Him (23).” The Father, we now find out, is the one to worship (“We know what we worship…true worshippers shall worship the Father…”). The Father is seeking and searching for someone to worship Him in spirit and in truth. He is aching for someone to cut through all the garbage of false concepts and truly know who He is.

God is Spirit

In His very next breath Yahshua lets us know more fully who the Father is. God (Elohim) is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth. 4:24, NEB. Wait a minute. In verse 23 it is the Father who is worthy of worship and is seeking true spiritual worshippers. Now in this verse Yahshua tells us that God is Spirit and we need to worship this Spirit in a true spiritual manner. Therefore, the One who we should worship is the Father, who is God the Supreme Being, who is Spirit. THE FATHER=GOD=SPIRIT.

Now we have established that the Father is God and that He is Spirit. Yahshua the Messiah is the image, the likeness of the invisible Spirit/God, who is the Father. And all fullness and all completeness of the Spirit (God) dwelt bodily in Yahshua. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell. Col. 1:19. Fullness and completeness is all there is. Therefore, all of the Godhead resided in the Messiah. All the fullness of Deity was there inside of him. God (the Spirit), who is the Father, dwelt bodily in Yahshua. For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Col. 2:9.

“Fullness” is defined as the state of being complete or full. The fullness of a gallon of milk is exactly 128 ounces. If the fullness of that gallon is poured into another container, then all of that gallon is in the other container. There is not any more anywhere else. All of the Godhead was in the Messiah. Yahweh, the Spirit/God of the Hebrews was in the Messiah. That is what made Yahshua the Messiah—all the Godhead/Spirit/Father—dwelling bodily within.

“For there is one God,” who is invisible, who is our Savior, and one mediator between this invisible Spirit-Father-God and men: Yahshua the Messiah. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen…For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour…For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Yahshua Messiah. I Tim. 1:17; 2:3, 5.

And this God, the Spirit-Father, “was in Messiah, reconciling the world unto Himself.” II Cor. 5:19. Yahshua is the mediator [#3316, mesites, a go between, a mediator = one who stands between two sides, who is the medium for conciliation between the two]. The two here are Spirit and man. That is why God (Elohim), who is the Father and Spirit, poured Himself fully into a human vessel, and that Lamb “through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God” and thus cleansed our consciences so that we could serve and worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Moses Wrote about Christ–How “He Opened to Us the Scriptures”–Chapter 12 of the Book, YAH IS SAVIOR

Let’s take a little quiz at this time. Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible, the torah. He penned down many proper nouns, which are names of particular persons, places and things. Now the question: Which proper noun did he write down over 1,700 times in the first five books of the Bible?

Answer: Yahweh. He wrote the proper noun Yahweh down hundreds and hundreds of times. Yahweh in the Garden of Eden. Yahweh at the Tower of Babel. Yahweh communing with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Yahweh face to face with Moses himself. And many more appearances.

And we learned in Chapter 11 that the Pharisees were searching the scriptures, which included the law and the prophets, or Moses’ writings and the writings of the prophets. The Messiah continues on confronting their unbelief. He tells them that they are hinging all their hopes onto the sayings and writings of Moses, and they are rejecting Him. And the irony is that Moses wrote about Yahweh, the Savior. He wrote about the very One that the Phar-isees had written off. “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?” John 5:45-47.

He was telling them, You believe what Moses wrote when you believe what I say. Just that simple, for He wrote about Me! Every type and shadow points to Me, Yahweh-in-human-form! The Master is speaking about the hardest unbelief there is—not believing that it is Yahweh dwelling within His human form. They did not believe Moses; they said they did, but they had deceived themselves in their own concepts of what Moses was saying in the torah. Moses wrote of me. Moses wrote down Yahweh’s name 1,700 times! That’s how much Moses wrote of the Savior. The revelation is this: Moses wrote about Yahweh, who is the same Spirit that dwelt fully in Yahshua, the Messiah.

How the scriptures will open

The Master mentions Moses’ writings again. After His resurrection He joins two of His followers walking dejectedly down the road to a village named Emmaus. They were prevented from recognizing Him as they spoke. He asked them what they were so down about. And they basically said that the prophet they had been following had been killed by the chief priests and rulers. And besides, it had been three days now and they had not seen hide nor hair of him.

And then He said this unto them. How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory? And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. Luke 24:25-27. He has just said that all of the writings of Moses and the prophets were writings about Himself. And we know that they wrote of Yahweh.

What Moses and all the prophets were writing about was Yahweh’s glorious coming to this earth in a flesh body to become the Savior of His creation. That’s what the scriptures are about! That is what the Master just said.

The Master, to finish the story, went on to the next village with them. Still not recognizing Him, they encouraged Him to stay with them and eat. During the meal they finally recognized Him, and then He disappeared. Then they asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24:32. The scriptures open when we realize that they speak of Yahweh coming in human form!

Many do not understand and therefore do not read the Bible because it is closed to them. He will open the scriptures to us just like He did to those two on the road to Emmaus, when we believe that Yahweh of the “Old Testament” is clothed in human flesh and is really the Messiah of the “New Testament.” {The previous sentence will only be revealed to us if He opens the scriptures to us—if He shows us who He really is.}

For Those Weaned from the Milk of the Word and Want the Meat

God’s great eternal plan is this: He is bringing many sons and daughters unto Himself. They will do the ‘greater works’ that Christ promised some of His followers would do.

That is His purpose and plan, to multiply Himself. After all, He is the Seed, the Word, made flesh, and falling into the ground and dying, and thereby bringing forth much fruit. That is what the Son {the Father/Spirit Yahweh clothed in a human form} said, and He is the Seed.

Two things stand out on this quest for the truth. First: Oneness, not a Trinitarian concept. There is Father, yes, Son, yes, and Holy Spirit, but they are not three distinct persons. In other words, there are not three of them sitting up there in the throneroom. The Father is the Holy Spirit, and He is invisible, and He dwells now in the glorified heavenly body [I Cor 15: 35-50], which is our destiny upon His return to earth.

Second: Knowing His true name unlocks the door to answered prayer. But just knowing that the God of the ancient Hebrew partriarchs was Yah or Yahweh and the Son Yahshua is not enough. We must know what the names mean. Utmost importance.

Beware of this one thing: Most who are finding out about the sacred names of God are being led away into “Hebrew roots movement.” This is a trap because they are seduced away from the oneness of God; they are taught that there is a ‘twinity’ and not a trinity. They are also led away by teachers of the law. Now this sounds noble and good, but we humans cannot work real hard to ‘keep the law’ and thereby be more accepted by God. No. We must die with Christ, receive a new heart and the Spirit, grow in grace, walk in His word, and grow up into the sons and daughters of God who will do the ‘greater works’ that the Savior Yahshua did! This will not be done by very meticulous sincere people trying in their own strength to keep the laws of God. The Law [10 commandments] ‘are not made for a righteous man, but the unrighteous.’ His Spirit in us is quite capable of keeping the law by us believing He can. Faith. It is elemental to our walk with Him…Just a heads up on your walk. Kenneth Wayne Hancock….[for more read my books found here at the top of my blog].

Chapter 10 “Miracles, Protection, and Love–Lessons in His Name–YAH IS SAVIOR: THE ROAD TO IMMORTALITY

Knowing His Hebrew name opens up many wonderful realms to us. The power to perform miracles and do mighty works, the ability to show forth His astounding love, the unifying factor for the whole body of true believers–all these things and more open to us with the key of the knowledge of His name.

In John 10: 22-39, Yahshua said that the works (the miracles) that He was doing in His Father’s name testify as to His Messiahship. The Jews approached Him in winter during Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication. The Messiah was walking in Solomon’s porch. They were accusing Him of making them to doubt as to whether He was the Messiah or not. “If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”

He then said that He had already told them, and they had not believed him. “My deeds done in my Father’s name are my credentials” (NEB). The miracles that I do in My Father’s name, He was saying, speak for Me, testify on My behalf that I am the Messiah.

And then He explained why they did not believe Him. “But you do not believe because you are not of my sheep, as I said to you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (v. 26-27, NKJV). They were not the people “whom He foreknew and had predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son.” It was not given to them from heaven to believe in the Messiah. Their names were not written in heaven–(“Rejoice not that the devils are subject to you, but rather rejoice that your names are written in heaven…”). The Pharisees could not believe Him, for they were not of His sheepfold. But his sheep believe Him and He gives them “eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one” (v. 28-30, NKJV). Messiah’s hand was the Father’s hand, for they are one.

That did it for the Jews. They just could not see it that the Messiah and the Father are one. They picked up stones to kill Him. Messiah said to them, “I’ve done many miracles in you midst. Which one are you stoning Me for?”

“We are not stoning you for any of these,” replied the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.” They just could not see that God was inside of the man, the mortal shell, and was doing the miracles.

Under great stress Yahshua continued to rain love upon the unjust. Look, He was saying, “is not it written in your law, in the book of Psalms, ‘I have said, You are gods.’ If He called them gods unto whom the word of God came, what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you me of blasphemy because I said, I am God’s Son? Don’t believe Me unless I do what my Father does. But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father” (v. 34-38, NIV). By believing the miracles, we may know and understand that the Father is in the Son doing those miracles. The Son can only do what He sees the Father do.

His Name brings unity

In the Son of God’s prayer of intercession in John 17, He stresses the importance of the name of His Father. He says in v. 6: “I have revealed You Name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have guarded Your Word.” He made known the name of His Father, Yahweh, to His called-out ones. And in verse 11, the Messiah asks that the Father “guard them in Your Name which You have given Me, so that they might be one, as We are.” We see that the name of Yahweh is a shield and protection needed so that they, the disciples, the children of God, might be one, as the Father and Son are one! Guard them in Your Name. His name has protective powers for us. Us being under the banner of the name of Yahweh preserves us until we all are one as the Father and Son are one–“till we all come to the unity of the faith, unto a perfect man.”

And in verse 26, Christ says, “And I have made Your name known to them, and shall make it known, so that the love with which You love Me might be in them, and I in them.” At least three major points are made here. First, the Son reveals the Father to whomsoever He will by revealing the Father’s name to them. He told them that Yahweh was the name of the Father.

He then said, “And shall make it known…” He is giving prophecy here. He will make the Father’s name known once again to His followers–to a select people to whom it is given in these last days.

Third point: I have made your name known “so that the love with which You love Me might be in them, and I in them.” The revealing of the Father’s true name is so important that it is a pre-requisite; it is a necessary thing that must take place before that same love with which the Father had loved the Son might be in us. Making His name known is necessary to others so that the Spirit of the Son will come down and be in His followers! “So that the love with which You love Me might be in them, and I in them.” That is why knowing and declaring His name Yahweh is so important! [And yet, no preacher stands in the tens of thousands of pulpits across this world and teaches this! Why?]

What we have here then is the key to the Father’s love that He loved the Son with! He’ll make his Father’s name known to His disciples and show them how it is a “strong tower” and a keeper and a guard for us, allowing us to eventually tap into the Father’s unfathomable love. “Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.”

All this then would indicate that our Father’s name Yahweh is our unifying attribute. Our Father’s name is now our name; children are given their father’s surname. We then look forward to the time when we by the thousands walk with Him in white and He in us and we in Him, and the Father in you all. The Holy Spirit will someday fill us, His temple, when we have no sensation that we are there anymore, and He will dwell in us fully. All of our ego foibles and mortal earthly thoughts will be at last swept from His temple, which is our bodies, and something greater than the temple will be here, and we will no longer glory in that we are the temple of God. We will not think and strive as a blade of grass and as the potsherd we are today. We will sit still and know that He is the great Yahweh of old, and He will move mightily through His temple. And many will look on us and think that we have done something grand, and we will say, “Someone much greater that I is here.”

How were the miracles done? How will the unity come? In the Father’s name, Yahweh.
