The Heart of the Father, the Mind of Christ

[From Chapters 6 and 7 of my book, The Additions to the Faith]

To contemplate Yahweh’s purpose is to seek the mind of Christ and the very heart of the Father. Such a pursuit stretches our small hearts and minds and enlarges them until we begin to see through God’s eyes. As He declares, “My thoughts are not your thoughts.” God has His own agenda and purpose. We, too, have plans and desires for our lives, but few possess the same purpose that fills the heart of our Heavenly Father. Herein lies humanity’s great dilemma. (Isa. 55:8-9)

From the beginning, God has worked according to a master design. Though mankind often wanders from that design, He patiently waits for His crowning creation to come into harmony with His purpose. His dealings with Israel reveal this patience. He took the twelve tribes as His wife, intending to bring forth sons and daughters through a spiritual union with them. Yet they pursued the gods of the nations around them. Through Jeremiah He lamented that faithless Israel had committed adultery and had been given a certificate of divorce. Nevertheless, His mercy remained, and He promised forgiveness and restoration if they would return to Him. (Jer. 3:6-14)

Behind all of God’s dealings stands a purpose that is both simple and profound: God is reproducing Himself through a chosen company of human beings. Certainly, He loves us and desires to save us from sin and self-destruction. The mind of Christ does not remember our sins and faults. Satan does and throws it up to us in a constant barrage of celluloid-like scenes from our sordid past. Satan remembers and hurls memories at our mind until we awaken to what is really going on. No, our father does not remember the sins of our past so, why should we remember them? But salvation is only one part of a much larger eternal plan. To understand that plan, we must consider what is contained within the very word “Father.” (Eph. 1:4-12; Rom. 8:29)

What Is in the Father’s Heart?

A father is one who begets life. The title itself implies offspring, reproduction, and inheritance. One cannot truly be a father apart from children. Thus, the desires of the Father’s heart are revealed in His name. His purpose is to bring forth sons and daughters who bear His likeness and share His nature. (Luke 3:38; Heb. 2:10; 2 Pet. 1:4)

Many claim God as their Father, yet often deny the spiritual law that He established from the beginning: every seed bears after its own kind. If God is truly our Father, then His purpose should become our purpose. His desires should become our desires. We should seek to know His mind and participate in the work that fills His heart. The Father’s great purpose is to reproduce His life, His character, and His love until He fills creation with the expression of Himself. Humanity was created to be the vessel through which this purpose would be accomplished. (Gen. 1:11-12, 26-28; Eph. 3:14-19)

Walking in Agreement with the Spirit

This understanding is essential if we are to walk in the Spirit. Scripture commands us to “walk in the Spirit” and to “abide” in Christ. Yet how can we walk with Someone if we do not know where He is going? As Amos asks, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” To walk in the Spirit requires agreement with the Spirit. We must understand not only where God is leading, but also why He is moving in that direction. (Gal. 5:16, 25; John 15:4-5; Amos 3:3)

Christ perfectly understood this. Throughout His life He was occupied with His Father’s business. He possessed the mind of the Father and devoted Himself to completing the Father’s work. And what was that work? The reproduction of God’s life through the Seed Son. (Luke 2:49; Phil. 2:5; John 4:34; John 17:4)

Creation itself testifies to this purpose. Everywhere we look, life seeks to reproduce itself. Plants bear seed. Animals multiply. Humanity is driven to seek companionship and family. These patterns are not accidental. They are witnesses embedded in creation that point to the Creator’s own purpose. God is reproducing His life and His love, and mankind is the spiritual soil in which this divine work is taking place. (Gen. 1:21-28; Rom. 1:20)

Only when we understand and embrace this purpose can we truly walk in the Spirit and abide in Christ. If our worship, ambitions, and prayers are centered upon a different objective, then we are no longer abiding in Him. To abide in Christ is to remain in fellowship with His purpose and to align ourselves with His plan. (John 15:4-8; 1 John 2:24-28)

From Servants to Friends

This is also the pathway from servanthood into friendship with God. Jesus told His disciples, “I call you not servants … but friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.” A servant obeys commands without understanding the larger purpose. A friend is entrusted with the secrets of the heart. What greater privilege could there be than to know what the Father is doing and to be invited into His counsels? (John 15:15; Ps. 25:14)

Nor was this privilege reserved only for the first disciples. In His prayer recorded in John 17, Christ expanded this promise to all who would believe through their testimony. He prayed that we might share in the same unity and glory that existed between Himself and the Father. This invitation extends to us today, if we have faith to receive it. (John 17:20-23)

The promise that whatever we ask in His name will be done is connected to this abiding relationship. When we are united with God’s purpose, our prayers become expressions of His purpose. We begin to ask for the things that advance His work, and those prayers find their answer in Him. (John 15:7, 16; 1 John 5:14-15)

Joining the Father’s Work

The tragedy is that many believers pursue purposes that differ from God’s own. When our ambitions, ministries, and religious activities are rooted primarily in human desires, we mistake our plans for God’s will. True worship is not merely offering God our ideas of what should be done. It is joining ourselves to what He is already doing. (Matt. 15:8-9; Prov. 14:12; Isa. 29:13)

When we understand His purpose and commit ourselves to its fulfillment, something changes within us. The power of the Spirit increases in our lives because we have become fellow workers with Christ in the Father’s business. Christ is finishing the work given to Him, and the members of His body are called to share in that same labor. (1 Cor. 3:9; Mark 16:20; John 14:12)

Our calling is to bear witness to the truth that God is reproducing Himself through the Seed Son. As Christ’s life grows within us, the reality of His resurrection becomes evident through transformed lives, spiritual power, and the works of God manifested through His people. The world is to see the life of Christ expressed through those in whom the Seed has come to maturity. (Gal. 2:20; Col. 1:27; Rom. 8:11; John 12:24)

Wisdom Before Power

Yet this journey begins with wisdom and knowledge. It begins with seeing what God is doing and understanding why He is doing it. Significantly, the first gifts of the Spirit listed by Paul are the word of wisdom and the word of knowledge. Before power comes understanding. Before effective service comes revelation. (1 Cor. 12:8; Prov. 4:7)

As we come into agreement with the Father’s purpose, the Spirit supplies the wisdom, knowledge, and gifts necessary for us to participate in His work. And that work, from beginning to end, is the desire that has always filled the Father’s heart: the reproduction of His own life and character in His sons and daughters until His purpose is fully accomplished. (Eph. 4:11-13; Rom. 8:29; Hab. 2:14; 1 Cor. 15:28)

In short, some humans will love God. They are “the called according to His purpose.” He knew them from before. He gave them a predestiny “to be conformed to the image of His Son. He predestinated them; He called and chose them; He justified them and glorified them. Having done all this for us, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. (Romans 8:28-37)

The Seed‑Son: The Mystery of God’s Reproduction

Every generation asks, Who is the Son of God? But few ever ask the deeper question: What is the Son of God? Scripture speaks of Him not only as a Person but as a Seed, a Word, a Logos—containing within Himself the entire destiny of God’s purpose. To understand Christ is to understand the mystery of God’s reproduction, the mystery of election, and the mystery of the sons and daughters who will bear His image in the final harvest.

The Son of God is the Seed‑Word in whom the fullness of God and the destiny of His elect are written; and those whom the Father reveals this Seed to are the very ones through whom He will reproduce Himself, manifest His life, and finish His work on earth.

The Son as the Seed‑Word

“In the beginning was the Word.” Yahweh declares Himself the First, the Beginning, the One who calls all generations from the start. Christ likewise says He is the Alpha, the Beginning, the First. The Father is the Word, and the Word is the Logos, and the Logos is the Seed. Christ Himself interprets the parable: “The seed is the word of God.” Therefore the Seed/Word/Logos “was made flesh and dwelt among us,” and this Seed was called both the Son of God and the Son of Man. Christ is the Seed‑Son, the grain of wheat that must fall into the ground and die to bring forth much fruit. (Isaiah 41:4; John 1:1,14; Revelation 1:8; Luke 8:11; John 12:24)

The Seed Contains the Fullness of God and the Names of His Elect

Just as a tiny garden seed contains the entire destiny of the plant—from germination to harvest—so the Seed‑Son contains “all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Inside this divine Seed is written the destiny of all whom He will reproduce Himself through. The Father’s business is the reproduction of Himself, and the Son declared, “I must be about My Father’s business.” The Seed is not merely Christ’s identity; it is the blueprint of God’s entire family, the encoded life of every son and daughter who will be conformed to His image. (Colossians 2:9; Luke 2:49; Romans 8:29)

The Son Reveals Himself Only to the Elect

Who is destined to see the Living Word? Scripture answers plainly: only those to whom He chooses to reveal Himself. “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.” It is not of him who wills nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. Jacob was loved; Esau was not chosen. This is not cruelty—it is the austere wisdom of God, who chooses vessels for His glory. Christ Himself prayed, “They were Yours, and You gave them to Me.” Those who receive His words, believe His sending, and keep His truth are the ones chosen to behold the Seed‑Son. (Romans 9:13–16; John 17:6–10)

The Elect Are Given to the Son for Reproduction and Warfare

Because we are given to Christ, we are not our own. We were bought with a price—the ransom of His own life. The Father gave Him souls who would follow Him into the hundredfold harvest, souls who would not follow a stranger’s voice. These chosen ones are enlisted into Yahweh’s spiritual army. The Old Testament battles, tribes, and patriarchs serve as types and shadows of the warfare required to defeat Satan today. The New Testament saints are like knights conquering strongholds, answering the call of the Father’s army. If God is for us, who can be against us? (1 Corinthians 6:20; Matthew 13:23; John 10:4–5; Romans 8:31; Hebrews 11)

The Seed‑Son Reproduces Himself Through His Body

In Christ we are part of the Seed‑Son. He is sowing His people across the earth. Some say the Genesis Seed has already been harvested in Christ, but Scripture shows the harvest is not yet complete. Christ is the Seed planted at His death and raised at His resurrection; His body is the field in which He multiplies Himself. Therefore, we must do what Christ is doing: believe on Him whom the Father has sent, finish His work, and bear witness to the truth of God’s reproduction. When the Seed germinates in us, resurrection power will manifest through signs and wonders. And it all begins with wisdom and knowledge—the first gifts of the Spirit—given to equip us for His purpose. (John 6:29; John 4:34; Matthew 13:38; John 14:12; 1 Corinthians 12:8)

Conclusion The Son of God is the Seed‑Word—the divine Logos containing the fullness of God and the destiny of His elect. Those whom the Father chooses to reveal this Seed to are the ones given to Christ for reproduction, transformation, and spiritual warfare. As the Seed germinates within His people, they become the instruments through whom God finishes His work on earth. The harvest is coming. The sons and daughters are rising. And the Seed‑Son will multiply Himself until the Father’s purpose is complete.   Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Signal of the Abiding Remnant

A Manifesto for the Sons and Daughters of the End of the Age

There is a voice rising in the earth. It is not denominational. It is not institutional. It is not the voice of the religious machine.

It is the voice of those who abide.

Those who have remained in the fire. Those who have not fled the furnace of affliction. Those who have refused the escape narratives of men. Those who have waited for Yahweh Himself to reveal His government.

We are living in the time of the end—not as a slogan, not as a chart, but as the atmosphere of the age. The cauldron is heating. The nations tremble. The systems of men crack. The idols of religion fall.

And in the midst of this fire, Yahweh is preparing a people by burning out impurities, which are the false teachings.

He is preparing, not the ninety‑fold. Not the sixty‑fold. Not the thirty‑fold.

But the hundred‑fold—the sons and daughters who have yielded everything.

These are the ones creation has been groaning for. These are the ones the apostles foresaw. These are the ones who will stand when the masses fall. These are the ones who will rise from the ashes like the phoenix—not by myth, but by resurrection fire.

They are chosen. Not by merit. Not by pedigree. Not by denominational approval. But by Yahweh’s sovereign call.

And now, in this digital wilderness, the Spirit is gathering them.

Not into a brand. Not into a movement. Not into a hierarchy. But into a remnant fellowship—a communion of abiding ones who recognize the same flame in one another.

If you feel the pull of this voice… If you sense the fire in your bones… If you have been wandering, waiting, watching… If you have felt alone in your convictions… If you have seen the end approaching with clarity others cannot bear… If you have heard Yahweh whisper in the night seasons…

Then you are one of us.

This is your signal. This is your summons. This is your recognition.

The sons and daughters are awakening. The remnant is rising. The abiding ones are finding one another. And Yahweh is preparing His government.

Come forth. Speak. Write. Reveal. Abide.

The time is short. The fire is rising. The manifestation is near. The unveiling of 100-fold followers is at hand.

We are the abiding remnant. We are the sons and daughters of the end of the age. And Yahweh is gathering us now.

Awakening the Blind Church to Christ’s Last‑Day Vision

Recovering the eye salve that reveals God’s plan to multiply Himself

The greatest tragedy of the last days is not the darkness of the world, but the blindness of God’s own people to His astonishing purpose: the multiplication of Himself in His sons and daughters. “Each seed bears its own kind” comes to mind (Gen. 1:11-25). This is the divine intention woven through Scripture yet hidden from the natural eye. And in a mystery of sovereignty, God Himself has ordained this blindness until His children return to Him in repentance and spiritual sight.

Paul writes, “God has given them the spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear” (Romans 11:8). This condition is not merely ancient Israel’s; it is the condition of the church at the “time of the end.” We are living in the final church age—the Laodicean era, and the church has a spiritual sickness that Christ exposes with piercing clarity.

Christ says of His people, “You do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked” (Revelation 3:17). Yet His rebuke is not condemnation but invitation. He counsels us to receive from Him “gold tried in the fire,” the purified faith that reflects His nature; “white raiment,” the righteousness that clothes the saints; and “eye salve,” the anointing of truth that restores spiritual sight (Revelation 3:18).

Christ’s Rebuke, His Counsel, and the Throne‑room Promise to Overcomers

See what? See what He sees. See His vision for the earth. See how each of us dovetails into His plan, faithfully fulfilling our appointed part. The eye salve is truth—truth that removes the fog of false doctrine and reveals His prophetic ambition for His elect. Those who endure His rebuke and chastening are those who anoint their eyes with this truth (Revelation 3:19).

Therefore, Christ commands, “Be zealous therefore, and repent.” Those who obey receive a promise so staggering that it strains the imagination. In this age, it is not we knocking on His door—it is Christ knocking on ours: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock…” (Revelation 3:20). To those who open, He grants intimate fellowship and unimaginable authority.

To the overcomers He declares, “To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame and am set down with My Father in His throne” (Revelation 3:21). If you believe that this promise includes you, then you must prove it out–one way or another–by studying Revelation 3:14–22 with opened eyes and a yielded heart.

Christ concludes with the solemn refrain, “He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Revelation 3:22). His vision—His plan—is written plainly in Scripture, yet it remains a closed book to many (Isaiah 29:10–12). We sense that He is speaking of wonders, but finite minds struggle to grasp infinite purpose.

Paul reminds us that “the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong” (Ecclesiastes 9:11), and “it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy” (Romans 9:16). The winners are those to whom God grants favor—those He chooses to give ears that hear.

This is why Christ repeatedly said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear” (Matthew 11:15). The Spirit is speaking to His body, but only the elect—those chosen and called—possess ears capable of receiving the message.

These elect are the ones through whom God will reproduce Himself. They are His first fruits (James 1:18; Revelation 14:4), the first in these end time days in whom God will fully manifest His nature. Their destiny is royal: to become kings in God’s Kingdom, which Christ will establish upon the earth (Revelation 5:10).

This is the high calling of God’s elect. This is the multiplication of God. This is the vision Christ is unveiling to those with opened eyes.

The Cross Experience Comes Before the Abiding

The Spirit of truth does not dwell where sin still reigns

Sin must die on the cross with Christ before the Spirit of truth will dwell and abide in us. Yet sin is one of the most sensitive subjects—guilt, desperation, shame, and fear often accompany it. Few understand its scriptural definition: “Sin is the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4). Which law? The Ten Commandments. Everyone has broken this law, yet Scripture says it “is not meant for a righteous person, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful” (1 Tim. 1:9).

Breaking the Ten Commandments is sin. Sin is not merely shuffling one’s feet on a sawdust floor or failing to attend a Sunday service. The law consists of ten commandments, and “He added no more” (Deut. 5:22). Many born‑again Christians call faults sin, and this frustrates their walk. Impatience, irritability, or personal shortcomings are faults—things we are growing through—but they are not violations of the Ten Commandments. Sin is a heart condition. Righteousness is a heart condition as well.

We are delivered from the old sinful nature by being crucified with Christ, our sacrificial Lamb. When He died, our old nature died with Him.

The Cross Removes Sin’s Power

Believers must be able to explain salvation from sin as Paul taught: “Our old man is crucified with Christ, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin” (Rom. 6:6–7). Christ took all our sins upon Himself, and when He died, our old sinful selves died, were buried, and were raised with Him into newness of life. By believing in Christ’s cross experience, our own cross experience becomes real.

Why do so few teachers explain this? Either they do not know the apostle’s teachings, or they do not believe them. Yet believing them is how we are translated from darkness into light (Rom. 6:6–12).

A new heart must be received before deeper things can grow within. Christ spoke of sin and repentance repeatedly. Conviction of sin is universal. Concerning the Comforter, He said, “When the Spirit of truth is come, He will reprove [convict] the world of sin…” (John 16:8).

He also said, “If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak [excuse] for their sin” (John 15:22). His words removed every excuse. People must be confronted with their sin so they can recognize guilt and repent. Now we are to be like Him and speak of sin to the people. Christ promises, “The Spirit of truth… shall be in you” (John 14:17).

Throughout John 15 and 16, He warns that the world will hate and persecute His followers. Why? Because He commands us to let our light shine and reprove the world of sin. Man’s old nature does not want its darkness exposed by the light now in us.

Conclusion: The Cross Opens the Way to Abiding

The thesis is simple: the Abiding of the Spirit within us cannot begin until the Cross has done its work. Yahweh’s abiding presence is reserved for hearts cleansed of transgression and freed from the old nature. The Spirit of truth does not dwell where sin still reigns. But once the Cross destroys the “body of sin,” the believer becomes a vessel capable of receiving the abiding presence of Yahweh.

The Abiding is not an isolated spiritual experience; it is the fruit of crucifixion with Christ. When sin is removed, the Spirit enters. When the old nature dies, the new life begins. When the Cross is believed, the Abiding becomes possible. Thus, the Cross experience is not merely preparation, it is the doorway into the abiding life. Only those freed from sin can truly dwell in Him, and He in them. [For much more go here:  sin | Search Results | Immortality Road ]  Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Spirit of Christ and the Spirit of Antichrist

A Study on the Identity of God and the Discernment of Spirits

The true Spirit of God is identified by one central confession: that Yahweh—the eternal Father and Creator—has come in the flesh as Yahshua the Messiah. Anyone who denies that the Father Yahweh dwelt in the Son is operating under the spirit of antichrist, which means “instead of Christ” from the Greek.

The apostle John teaches that the ultimate test of spiritual discernment is not emotion, religious activity, or outward appearance, but confession—specifically, the confession of who God is and how He came among us. To discern the Spirit of God from the spirit of antichrist, we must begin where Scripture begins: with the name and identity of God Himself.

The Name of God and the Incarnation of Yahweh

The first step in spiritual discernment is to get the name of God right. Scripture reveals that Yahshua is the name of the incarnate Yahweh—Yah in human form. Yahweh is the Father, and Christ Himself testified that the Father dwelling within Him performed the miracles (John 14:10).

Yahweh declares plainly: “For I am the LORD [YAHWEH] your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior… and beside Me there is no savior.” (Isaiah 43:3, 11) Therefore, the one who confesses that Yahweh is the Savior, and that He has come in the flesh as the Anointed One, is confessing the truth revealed by the Spirit of God.

The Spirit of God vs. the Spirit of Antichrist

John gives the test: “Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. This is the spirit of the antichrist…” (1 John 4:2–3). To “confess Christ come in the flesh” is not merely to acknowledge that a man named Jesus once lived. It is to confess who came in that flesh: Yahweh Himself—the Father—dwelling in the Son.

John later calls this “the Spirit of truth.” The “spirit of error” denies that Yahweh has come in the flesh of Christ. He sharpens the point: “Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son” (1 John 2:22). To deny the Son is to deny the Father, because the Father was in the Son. To deny the Father in the Son is to deny the Son Himself. This is the essence of the antichrist spirit.

The Witness of the Spirit

John also teaches that eternal life is in the Son (1 John 5:11). Paul calls this the “Spirit of life” (Romans 8:2), and John says, “the Spirit is truth” (1 John 5:6). This Spirit bears witness with our spirit (Romans 8:16), testifying to the truth of God’s identity.

What truth does the Spirit testify? That Yahweh, the great Creator Spirit, poured Himself into a human vessel—the Son Yahshua—whose very name means “Yahweh is the Savior.” This is the witness the Spirit gives inside every believer.

Believing in the Name of the Son

John concludes his first epistle with this assurance: “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life…” (1 John 5:13)

To “believe in the name of the Son of God” is to believe that the Father was in the Son, and that through this union Yahweh saves His people from their sins. “He who believes in the Son has the witness in himself” (1 John 5:10). That person has the Spirit. That person has eternal life.

John echoes this in his Gospel: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12). To receive Him is to believe in His name—Yahshua, the same name as Joshua of old, meaning “Savior.”

Conclusion: The Foundation of Spiritual Growth

Spiritual growth begins with getting the identity of God right. Everything in the life of faith flows from this revelation: Yahweh the Father has come in the flesh as Yahshua the Messiah.

This is the Spirit of truth. This is the confession of the Spirit of God. This is the foundation of eternal life. To deny this is to embrace the spirit of antichrist. To confess it is to walk in the light, to receive the witness of the Spirit, and to enter into the life of the sons of God.

Christ: From the Lamb to the Warrior-King

“Arm yourselves with the same mind”

Intro: To know Christ and the power of his resurrection, to know Him as He is, we must cease to look at him after the flesh. In other words, though we have known Him in his fleshly encounter with the cross, which is indeed important, we should not continue to look at Him from that perspective.  

Us dying with Him is the beginning of growing spiritually. But Christ has moved on, and He desires us to move on with Him. “Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we Him no more” (II Cor. 5:16).

Christ’s duty some 2,000 years ago was to serve as the Lamb of God that “takes away the sins of the world.” But now, He is the Warrior-King in exile, and He is coming back with a vengeance. For He has said, “Vengeance is mine, sayeth the LORD.” We cannot truly grow to full maturity in being His manifested 100-fold fruit-bearing sons and daughters unless we see Him as He now is.  We must begin to see Him, not only as our King, but also the mighty Commander of all heavenly forces who will purge this earth of evil during the glorious days of His return.

The New Testament presents Jesus Christ/Yahshua, not only as the sacrificial Lamb who redeems humanity, but also as the Divine Warrior‑King who fulfills and intensifies the Old Testament portrait of Yahweh as the God of war, the Commander of heavenly armies, and the One who fights to reclaim His creation. The Lamb who was slain rises as the Warrior/King who conquers, waging holy war to take back the earth from the powers of darkness.

The Old Testament Foundation: Yahweh the Divine Warrior

The Old Testament consistently portrays Yahweh as a God who fights for His people and wages war against evil. After the Red Sea deliverance, Moses sings, “The LORD [Yahweh] is a man of war” (Exodus 15:3). This is not metaphor but identity. Yahweh marches before Israel (Judges 5:4), thunders from Sinai (Psalm 68:7–8), and rides with “chariots… twenty thousand, even thousands of angels” (Psalm 68:17). He trains His people for battle (Psalm 144:1) and personally dons armor: “He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head” (Isaiah 59:17).

Yahweh is also the “LORD of hosts”—YHWH Sabaoth—the Commander of angelic armies (1 Samuel 17:45). Several translations render “LORD of hosts” as “LORD of armies.” His heavenly forces appear as “horses and chariots of fire” surrounding Elisha (2 Kings 6:17). The prophets envision Him going forth to battle: “Then shall the LORD/Yahweh go forth, and fight against those nations” (Zechariah 14:3).

This Divine Warrior theme is not peripheral; it is central to God’s identity as King. The question is: How does the New Testament apply this imagery to Christ?

The Lamb Who Conquers: Christ as the Fulfillment of the Warrior‑King

The New Testament does not diminish the Divine Warrior motif—it heightens it. The same God who fought for Israel now fights in and through His Messiah. The Lamb is not passive; He is slain and standing (Revelation 5:6), and His sacrifice becomes the very weapon by which He conquers.

1. Christ as the Captain of the Lord’s Armies

The mysterious “Captain of the host of the LORD” who appears to Joshua (Joshua 5:13–15) receives worship and speaks with divine authority. The New Testament reveals that Christ is the One who commands the angels: “the Son of Man shall come… with his angels” (Matthew 16:27). He will “send his angels” to gather His elect (Matthew 24:31). He is “revealed from heaven with his mighty angels” (2 Thessalonians 1:7). The Commander of the heavenly host in the Old Testament is the same One who leads the armies of heaven in Revelation.

2. Christ Wearing Yahweh’s Own Armor

Isaiah 59:17 describes Yahweh putting on a breastplate and helmet. Paul explicitly identifies this armor as belonging to Christ and shared with His people: “Put on the whole armor of God” (Ephesians 6:11). The “helmet of salvation” and “breastplate of righteousness” are not Roman metaphors—they are Yahweh’s own battle gear, now given to the saints because they fight under Christ’s command. Christ is the Divine Warrior who equips His soldiers with His own armor.

3. Christ Making War to Reclaim the Earth

Revelation 19 is the New Testament’s clearest Divine Warrior scene. John sees heaven opened and Christ riding forth:

  • “In righteousness he judges and makes war” (19:11).
  • “His eyes were as a flame of fire” (19:12).
  • “Out of his mouth goes a sharp sword” (19:15).
  • “The armies which were in heaven followed him” (19:14).
  • His title: “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” (19:16).

This is Yahweh the Warrior of Exodus 15 and Isaiah 59 revealed in the person of Jesus/Yahshua. The Lamb who was slain now rides as the Warrior‑King to reclaim the earth from the dragon, the beast, and the kings of the nations.

4. Christ’s War in the Heavenly Realm

Revelation 12 describes a cosmic conflict: “There was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon” (12:7). Though Michael leads the battle, the victory is explicitly attributed to Christ: “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb” (12:11). The Lamb’s blood is a weapon. The cross is not defeat—it is the decisive strike in the war to reclaim creation.

5. Christ as the Stronger Man Who Overthrows the Enemy

Christ describes His mission in warrior terms: “If I cast out devils… then the kingdom of God is come” (Matthew 12:28). He speaks of binding “the strong man” (12:29) to plunder his house. This is conquest language. Christ invades Satan’s territory and liberates captives.

6. Christ’s People as Soldiers in His War

Believers are not spectators. They are enlisted. “Endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ” (2 Timothy 2:3). They fight “principalities… powers… rulers of the darkness” (Ephesians 6:12). They overcome “by the blood of the Lamb” (Revelation 12:11). His shed blood that has put our feet on the glory road is now being used in the full spiritual war that He is waging. The church participates in Christ’s ongoing campaign to reclaim the earth.

Conclusion: The Warrior‑King Reclaims His World

The New Testament does not present two Christs—a gentle Lamb and a fierce Warrior. It presents one Christ whose sacrificial death is the opening act of His cosmic war. The Lamb conquers by dying, rises to lead the armies of heaven, and returns to overthrow every rival power. The Divine Warrior of the Old Testament is revealed in the New as Christ, who fights not with earthly weapons but with truth, righteousness, judgment, and the power of His indestructible life. The war is not metaphorical. It is the real conflict for the dominion of the earth, and you and I are in the big middle of it—if we make our calling and election sure by forsaking childlike desires. Knowing this: It is now Christ the Warrior‑King in us, “the hope of glory.”

Christ Is Not Sent to Everyone

I know. I know. That statement may upset some people. But let’s go by every word of God. For we all have said it: “We go by every word.”

The Spirit of Christ through the prophet Isaiah said this: “The LORD [Yahweh] has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,” and free those who are bound (Isa. 61:1).

Christ limits whom He is sent to, and to whom He will be sent to. He is sent to the “meek” and “brokenhearted.” If a person is not in a meek and brokenhearted condition and attitude, then God is not sent to them at that time.

What does “meek” mean, anyway?

“Meek” is translated from the Hebrew word meaning “lowly” (H6035 and H6041 in Strong’s). As in Proverbs 3:34: “…He gives grace unto the lowly.” He favors the meek and lowly. “Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud” (Prov. 16:19). A humble attitude joins you to the meek and lowly of the earth. Their brokenness touches God. He is sent to those. The same word [H6041] appears showing our Savior “lowly and riding upon an ass” (Zec. 9:9). This is a symbol of humility—no grand entrances.

This is why the anointed ones—Christ and his body believers—will reach only the meek, the humble, and the lowly of mind. Christ is not sent to everyone.

How do we walk in humility?

What do You want me to do,” I recently asked Yahweh. At the speed of light this thought answered back: “Tell them who I am.” The words I peck out now are my attempt to obey Him.

It is a bit overwhelming, but I realize that to be a part of this grand calling and election, one must break up the fallow ground of the heart. But how do we do that? We must turn from pride and embrace Him and ask Him to grant us wisdom.

Wisdom is reverential awe of Yahweh (Job 28:28; Psm. 111:10). We must desperately take that knowledge to the prayer closet. Ask Him. Implore Him, not for physical things for yourself, but for the spiritual things—wisdom, knowledge, and heartbreak. And He will show you things, things that “eyes have not seen, nor ears heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him (I Cor. 2:9)

Yahshua is Love Incarnate. He is the Almighty, the Doer of inexplicable exploits! Think about the heavens and earth and the perfection that they display. Then thank Him for changing us from  sin-infected clods of dirt to co-heirs with Christ, who will reign with Him in His Kingdom! These are His thoughts. Have we thought them today? This is “seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.” He loves you, and I love you. Great Yahweh, thank you for your breath within us. Would You answer the meek and lowly among us? Would You answer our longings to be close to you?     kwh

The Unveiling of God’s Sons: Love’s Final Act

God’s final act of love for this world is the unveiling of His children during these latter days. These sons and daughters are not the average church-going Christians. They will know that everything that has ever taken place on earth is prerequisite to this final revealing.

All the apostles spoke of their existence in His plan. The apostle John said that we are the sons (children) of God and that we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is” (I John 3:2). Being like him is not just being saved and going to church. No, He’s promising to do the same things in the earth, the same miracle working power continuing.

John also said that when we receive the Spirit of Christ, God will give us “power to become the sons of God, even to them who believe on his name.” Christ’s Hebrew name is Yahshua. It means Yah is the Savior (John 1:12).

The central theme of Paul’s writings was God revealing His sons to the world. He said that the entire creation “groans and travails in pain waiting for the adoption, waiting for the “manifestation of the sons of God” (Romans 8:19-22). He said that Christ was the first-born son, “the first born among many brothers” (8: 29).

Peter Confirms It

Peter calls the sons of God “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people… the people of God” (I Peter 2 :9). He also says that God has given us promises wherein we are “partakers of the divine nature” (II Pet. 1:4). We now take part in God’s sinless nature, growing up in Him.

Not Many Mighty, Not Many Noble Are Called and Chosen

God has deliberately chosen people who are not powerful. In fact, these future 100-fold sons and daughters of God are taken from a lower state on the earth, so that when God effects great spiritual changes in their lives, and they begin to do the “greater works,” then they will know who is doing it–God and not them. “That no flesh should glory in His presence” (I Cor.1:29).

They are new recruits in Gideon’s army; they are very few; they are without weapons for earthly combat. These future manifested sons will be despised like Goliath despised David, but God has chosen them, and they will surrender to His call. And they will help bring an end to Satan’s government. This is the revelation that the stories from the Old Testament tell us.

The offspring of God, who once were dead in their sins, have now been made alive by his faith in Christ’s resurrection. God, “declaring the end from the beginning,” sees the end product of God’s spiritual life cycle within them and “calls those things that be not [Christ fully in them] as though they were.” (Romans 4:17).

Finally, this divine unveiling is not a distant hope but a present reality unfolding in the hearts of those who believe. The Spirit of Christ empowers His children to walk in the fullness of their identity—not merely as followers, but as manifest sons carrying His likeness and authority. As creation groans in anticipation, the sons of God arise, revealing Yahweh’s glory through lives transformed and miracles continued. This is the culmination of all history: the revelation of a people who reflect Him, move in Him, and fulfill His purpose on earth.   kwh [If this has stirred your heart, tell His people about it by commenting.

Two Promises from God—Conditional, but Powerful (Part 1)

Christ made two great promises. But they are conditional. If the condition is met, then we are catapulted into the 60-fold and 100-fold spiritual growth (Matt. 13:3-23). This is the growth that Christ and His apostles walked in. Yes, this is the ticket for entry into His inner circle, the Round Table, if you will. {Please take a moment and hit the “Subscribe” button.}

Some of you may not believe me about being like Christ and attaining Christlike growth. Yet it was the King Himself who said, “He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do because I go to the Father” (John 14:12). What “greater works”? The miracles! This is the spiritual growth that the early apostles had: The power to raise the dead and heal the impossibly and terribly sick.

[This is what you have prayed and asked God for. You’ve asked Him for a great move, that He would fill you with His Holy Spirit, that His church would awaken. He is showing us how He is doing it. He is coming back for “a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish” (Eph. 5:27). To be ready for His coming, we must stand faultless, cleansed of all spiritual spots and moral blemishes. We must be holy and worthy to be immersed into the Holy Ghost and fire (Acts 2:1-4).

The First “If…”

Christ said, “If a man love me, he will keep my words, and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him” (John 14:23). “If a man love Me…” Here is the first condition. The person that loves Christ will “keep His words.” If we love Christ by keeping His words, then the Father will love us. And the godhead will come and stay and dwell within us. This is the abiding!

This is a powerful promise. The Father Himself has promised to live in us—if we keep Christ’s words! We want this relationship, to have the Father living in us and doing His works (Acts 2:33).

So, how do we “keep Christ’s words”? As we have seen before, the word “keep” is translated from the Greek word meaning “to guard, to preserve, to protect.” And the word “words” comes from the Greek word logos, which is the plan and purpose of God spelled out from the beginning. We know that Christ is the Logos, the Word “made flesh” that dwelt among us and still does in the Spirit. Christ is the Purpose enacted for us all to see. [For more on this, see links at the end of this article.]

A Higher Love

Someone will say, “The Father already loves us.” Yes, He does. But now He is talking about a higher love. The depth of this love for us comes after we love Christ by keeping His words.

For, you see, the Father loves us in our spiritual infancy. But the Father’s love for us in this context is a deeper kind of love. It is like in the natural world. Our love for an infant is on a certain beginning level. Our love for a baby is not based on the same criteria as for a mature human being walking in the Spirit, making their “calling and election sure.”

The Father’s love for us as seen in John 14:23 is deeper, based on our hunger for His knowledge and our performance of His desires. God’s love at this stage of growth is a profound appreciation of our walk of faith, trusting Him, even though the trials are daunting. We are spiritually talking about young men and women in spiritual growth.

John wrote to “young men because you are strong and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one” (I John 2:14). John is not writing to a “babe in Christ.” He is writing to the spiritually strong, to those with the word of God dwelling in them, having overcome Satan’s tricky ploys. This is 60-fold fruit bearing. They know God’s plan and purpose of reproducing Himself in a body of sons and daughters. They are strong with the Spirit abiding in them. They have overcome the devil.

The trouble is this: Most children of God want to remain spiritual baby Christians. They are content to bask in the Father’s love. They are mostly alive for what they can receive from the Father. But He wants them to grow in wisdom and understanding that they might learn how to love Him like He loves them. But most really don’t want to grow; they want to be happy and not face any trials and problems. God sees this as being “lukewarm.”

To show that we love Him more deeply, He tells us to guard, protect, cherish, and preserve His words, the Logos. We are to watch and guard His eternal purpose, which was with God in the beginning. And His purpose is this: God is reproducing Himself in us. When we guard the Logos, the Father will love us, and God will feel welcome to abide, stay, and remain in us. This process brings the abiding.

Why isn’t this happening much more often in the world? Because before you can guard and preserve His eternal plan and purpose, you must know what His plan and purpose is. We are talking about “knowledge of the holy.” Those that love Christ will learn of the Logos (November | 2024 | Immortality Road; Guarding the Logos | Immortality Road).

God loves those who guard, cherish, and protect the logos, the mind of Christ. He promised that He would dwell and abide in us! A wonderful promise!     Kenneth Wayne Hancock
