How the New World Order Is Counterfeiting the Kingdom of God

The real leaders of the people, the rich men behind the scenes who are pulling the strings, feeding the people news and information that benefit their plans for world dominance–these leaders have usurped the great God of heaven’s plan for peace on earth and are trying to bring in their own plan for peace.

Their promise of world peace is a latter day Pax Romana. As the Romans coerced a “peace” by the sword on the Roman world, even so the puppet masters today are pulling the strings on the heads of state on the world stage. They are subtly shaping a peace through a one world government.

But who or what is behind these rich puppet masters who control governments, economies, media, and the minds of men? Satan, “the god of this world,” is behind it all. Some will laugh at this–those who have been duped by their politically correct secular dogma.

Christ is called a great teacher and a good man, even a prophet by many secularists and agnostics. If Christ is such a great teacher, then why don’t they believe Christ’s teachings about Satan? He taught that Satan is the “prince of this world” (John 12: 31). “Prince” means “ruler” in the Greek and is used to describe the Pharisees (Luke 14: 1). Christ’s apostle Paul calls Satan “the prince (ruler) of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2).

So, Satan, is “the god of this world” that “has blinded the minds of them which believe not” (2 Cor. 4: 4). Satan is the evil spirit ruler of this world system, and he is working in and through those who are disobedient to the vision of Christ and His soon coming Kingdom of God.

Satan knows God’s plan of establishing “on earth peace, and good will toward men” (Luke 2: 14). He knows all about God’s plan to establish His Kingdom of God with the Prince of peace as its head. But because of pride and rebellion, Satan wants to bring “peace” to his world, to be this world’s savior, and not serve Christ. So Satan is counterfeiting Christ’s work in the earth, thus presenting a choice for mankind: Satan’s kingdom of false “peace” or the Kingdom of God ruled by the Prince of peace.

One sees this false hope of peace at the United Nations building in New York through “Beating the Sword into a Plowshare” sculpture there.

Beating Sword into Plowshare

I can hear the humanists now: “This looks so nice, so right. All of us citizens of the world should want peace on earth. My goodness, what kind of person are you that won’t back this world peace movement. It’s from the Bible even. ‘They shall beat their swords into plowshares…nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore’ (Isaiah 2: 4). Us we-are-the-world folks want this, and we are going to bring it in; it is up to us.”

This is how Satan is deceiving the whole world, for they have forgotten God and how it is his doing, and not ours. The world leaders will tell the peoples that a one world government and new world order will usher in a new era of peace and is the only way to peace, thus rejecting the Prince of peace.

When all nations have bought in fully into this one world concept, headed by a strong charismatic leader called the Anti-Christ or man of sin, then the stage will be set for Christ’s return to overthrow the counterfeit government and gather His faithful and set things right. Then will Christ get rid of the evil ones and set His children as the true princes and princesses in His kingdom.

For Christ is the Stone of the “Stone Kingdom” of Daniel 2. He will utterly smash the world empire into pieces and begin His reign. The choice lies before all of us as He cries to us, “Choose ye this day whom ye shall serve.” Kenneth Wayne Hancock

A Kingdom Divided Against Itself–Satan’s World Crumbling

Satan has a kingdom, and it is coming down, even as we write this. More banks are failing while more governments are borrowing trillions from central banker thieves, thus putting the people more in bondage.

Satan has a globally connected kingdom–actually many national governments who are enslaving their people through corrupt economic practices. For the very central bankers who were supposed to “prevent the people’s elected representatives” from making a mess of things, are now the very ones selling us all down the tubes.

But we sons and daughters of God must be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” We must know the “wiles of the devil” as we are admonished by the holy apostles of Christ.

So let us realize and believe what the Holy One Himself said about this present world system. The “wicked one” and destroyer of men is plotting now through certain rich men how to consolidate his power over all nations (see James 5: 1-6).

Satan has longed for the day when his “one world government” is realized. It has been many centuries in the making.

Satan’s Kingdom Is the “One World Government” and the “New World Order”

Christ taught us that Satan has his own kingdom. “If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?” (Luke 11: 18). Earlier we see during the temptations of Christ, Satan saying, “All this power will I give you…for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.” We see by this statement that the power of this present world system is Satanic and the power thereof is given to men from the wicked one.

Satan is the “god of this world.” He is in control, for now, of all the power of the governments of men.

But Satan’s kingdom is a divided kingdom. For instance, the West is at war with the Middle East; Christendom is at war with Islamic fundamentalism; capitalism is at war with communism/socialism; Hindu India vs. Muslim Pakistan; tribe against tribe; culture against culture, ad infinitum.

The United States is going into the One World Government. Both Republican and Democratic Parties are taking us there through very similar policies. Ever notice how neither decries the Federal Reserve System’s stranglehold on our economy. Remember George Bush I’s speech gloating about the “New World Order”? What sheer audacity. And what do the sheeple do? Nothing. Not a whimper, not a word.

The Difference in Our Two Parties

Here’s the difference in the two parties. The conservatives want the USA to be the leading voice in the One World Government. The Liberals want to weaken her, redistribute her wealth, and strip her of her power and make the USA just another third rate power, like a middle of the road European state.

And it is all heading that way–the way that biblical prophecy has proclaimed it to be. The world will fall under the spell of a charismatic ruler, the Anti-Christ. For seven years he will hold sway. But the phony peace, held together by grey duct tape of lies, will fracture because of all the evil selfish egos, and Satan’s kingdom will disintegrate about the time of Christ’s return to set up His kingdom.

He’ll set it all aright here on earth, establishing a 1,000 year reign of peace. And He will be using His sons and daughters as His administrators and ambassadors sent to the far-flung corners of the globe, spreading His love, hope, and righteousness. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Not Many Mighty, Not Many Noble Are Called

This world system, Babylon the Great, is sick and evil. Let’s call a spade a spade. The vision put forth in the Holy Bible lines out the fall and demise of Satan’s kingdom–our present, corrupt world system. It then is replaced with the Kingdom of God, headed by the King Himself, Jesus (Yahshua in Hebrew).

Before the world system falls and before Christ comes back to set up His Kingdom and 1,000 year Reign, there will be great move of God. He has always come down, literally to this earth and visited somone and called them out to deliver His people.

He did not use mega-church pastors that preach “get all that you can get from God” or “Be a better you!” No. He chose out, as the apostle Paul said, people who knew they were weak and God was strong–people who were in awe of Him and His righteousness and glory. “Not many mighty are called, not many noble” (I Cor. 1- 26). He gives grace to the humble. He will reveal Himself to those that are in awe of Him.

“That which has been is now…The things that happened to the tribes of Israel are written for our admonition upon whom the ends of the world are come…” We read the Old Testament stories to see how God will work in our day. “Past is prologue…” “God requires the past…”

Take Gideon in the book of Judges. Here was a young man, the youngest son in his family. Yahweh appeared unto him and spoke to him and told him that God would deliver His people who were enslaved by the Midianites. He addressed Gideon, “Thou mighty man of valour.” While almost all of Israel worshiped Baal in the groves, he remained faithful, and then Yahweh appeared to him. And the “army” that God allowed for the deliverance were 300 of His own choosing, not the 32,000 initial volunteers. It was a small group doing it God’s way, which is not how man imagines God to work. To see it today, just turn on religious programs; they are full of preachers and how they imagine God will work in our day.

Take David as a young boy. He was zealous for Yahweh when no one else believed that they could defeat the Philistines. He alone of all the armies of God’s people believed that Yahweh would deliver them. And did He ever. Later God would commune with David and called him to be king over His people.

Serious followers in this Way should pray for a move from God and prepare ourselves by worshiping Him in Spirit and in truth. Just being a sensitive spiritual type person is not enough. We must have the truth. We must know Him, “as the scriptures has said”–not the tainted knowledge of some mega-evangelist who imagines God wants a new you. God wants the sinful heart to die on the cross with Christ bringing repentance from sin and become a totally new creation in Christ, where it is no longer you that lives, but Christ that lives in you.

“Who Is This Son of Man?”

“Who is this Son of man?” the people asked Christ.

His response was curious at first glance. “Walk while you have the light…Believe in the light that you may be the children of light.” He is saying that the Son of man is the Light, and if we believe in Him, then we can be the children of light (John 12: 34-36).

We understand the phrase “Son of God,” for we see Him walking on water, raising the dead, healing the sick, and doing the mighty works of God. God’s Son will do what the Father does. But “Son of man”? Does it mean the same as “Son of God”? Why both?

A son is by definition the male offspring of human beings. But we are not talking about just any son here; we are talking about the glorified offspring of mankind—not just a male offspring of natural sinful man, but a glorified male offspring. It is a man who has traveled and matured completely in the life cycle God has made for man.

“Man is the glory of God.” That is the purpose. Man is to be converted from his fallen state and restored to the original calling God has for him—to be the temple that holds the shekinah glory of God. This entity—God-fully-manifested-in-human-form—is the Son, the Son of God, yes, for He is God’s offspring, but He also is the Son of man, for He sprang forth from just being a mortal man to being an immortal man—full of the presence of the Spirit of his Creator, living in an immortal spiritual body by the resurrection of the dead (I Cor. 15: 42-49; II Cor. 5: 1-5).

And this is where He wants to take us! To be just like Him, the Son of man, the Light. That is the true calling and life cycle of a few chosen ones called “the elect” by the prophets and apostles. They are the ones who will journey at God’s bequest to make the full circle from His throne room to the destitution of earthly flesh, and back to the throne, where they will sit with Him, restored to their rightful seat with Him. “Thou turnest man to destruction and then say, Return.”

These elect will make the round trip back to Him. They will be accounted worthy to walk with Him in white and will be of one mind and one accord with their Savior and Maker. In fact, they will be accounted by God as actually a part of His body; they are His body. They are a part of the “Son” and will be called as well, the “Son of man,” for they will have made the journey of maturity, growing up into Him—God in human form.

This is what His eternal purpose is all about. This is the vision for the wrap up, for the end time. They are God’s battle axe, the apple of His eye. They are His crowning creation, the “kings” with a little “k” of the phrase, “The King of kings.” They are the ones, and yet, they are one with Him. For there is one God and one body of that great Deity, and they are the limbs, and the Pattern Son, Yahshua of Nazareth, is the head of that great body, called by His prophets, God’s temple.

That is the Son of man. He is the Light, and they are the “light” as well after they receive and retain the fullness of His Spirit in their spiritual bodies. The sons and daughters of man will comprise the spiritual body of the Son of man. They are one and yet many—many men and women who have grown up into spiritual maturity and have left their human fleshly prison for the greater dimension of the kingdom of heaven. These elect will know what I’m talking about, for it will quicken in their spirit.

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT–Explained

“MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT” is referred to as the woman, which is a symbol of a false religious system. This mother church system has an identifier in the scriptures. This is a tag that tells us about her. She has a “name written in her forehead.” Names in scripture tell what the person or thing is—what its roots are, what its core values are. A name in scripture tells us its origin, its reason to be, and its destiny. This name written in her forehead means that her mind is full of what her name implies. Her heart and mind is full of what her name means. And her name was “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” (Rev. 17:5). Her name is given all in capital letters to signify its great importance to us.

First, this church’s name is a “MYSTERY.” The masses who wonder after the world system are in the dark. The origin of the political and religious systems of the earth is a mystery to them. A mystery is a “who done it?” The passive masses are in the dark about the characters and their roles in the drama happening on the world stage.

The second part of her name is “BABYLON THE GREAT.” This term is a mystery also. The first thing that comes to mind is the ancient city of Babylon, the capital of the Babylonian Empire in what is today Iraq. This great city, described by the Greek historian Herodotus, was so grand in its day that its Hanging Gardens was known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

But what’s the old city of Babylon’s connection to the name of the woman riding the beast in Revelation 17:5? Why is this old city’s name a part of the name of the false religious system that persecutes the true followers in the last days?

The answer lies in the fact that the religious system of the ancient city of Babylon has passed itself on down through the centuries to our day. History teaches us that the Near East’s fertile crescent spawned a mystery religion with its birthplace in Babylon. It was there that Nimrod became prominent. He was the son of Cush, the grandson of Ham, and the great grandson of Noah. “He began to be a mighty one in the earth. “He was a mighty hunter before YHWH: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before YHWH. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel {Gr. Babylon}” (Genesis 10: 8-10). This religion was passed on down to pagan Rome. {Even the Catholic Bible admits in a footnote on Rev. 17: 5 that “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT” is pagan Rome! Read it here http://www.newadvent.org/bible/rev017.htm }

And one of these ancient pagan traditions that not only has survived, but has thrived today is Christmas. People all over the world celebrate this holiday, not knowing of its tainted origin and of its pagan roots.

This brings us to the whorish woman’s name: “MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” This false church is a mother church. Who did she give birth to? The law of harvest states, Each seed bears its own kind. Those organizations who practice and adhere to the mother’s doctrines and traditions are by nature her offspring—daughters of the mother church. And one of pagan Babylon’s strongest traditions is the winter solstice season’s Saturnalia/Christmas. And yet, the whole world wonders after it, believing that it is the greatest time of year, not know at what they marvel.

Yet I do not condemn anyone who celebrates it. I once did, too. But I wanted the truth at all costs, and when this part of the truth came, I had to make a stand to forego the holiday. It makes waves in the family, for they will not understand at first. All my kids are grown now, and they do understand the stand I made. And all those who are pressing “on for the high calling” of sonship and daughtership of God–they will make a stand for truth. The princes and princesses of God will realize that the truth is Him. He, the Son of God is the Truth. That realization will put every thing else into perspective. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

“Christmas Unwrapped” and “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT”

Ots9y_xcaX8

I am astounded as I look out over the earth on this time of year and see people of every race, nationality and gender, embracing and reveling in this winter holiday season. I don’t condemn anyone for doing so; I’m just amazed to see people caught up into a spiritual vortex with seemingly no power to refuse.They are not just lured to the stores to buy anymore; they are told that if you don’t go and spend money, even money that you don’t really have, you are going to contribute to the downfall of our economy. It is not even subtle anymore.

It is like in Revelation when “the whole world wondered after the beast.” The people are caught up into something with a pull they can’t rationally fight. I see people practicing traditions handed down to them from ancestors who had no idea where it all came from. They follow on not knowing why, and frankly, not caring why.

Like you, I am interested in the Time of the End as described in the book of Revelation. How will the masses be? How will they act during this time? What type of world system will be in power? And I find that it is called a “beast with seven heads and ten horns” and has a woman riding it. And this woman is a symbol of a religious system, a church system.

And this church “was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand” (Rev. 17:4). This shows a system that is rich and luxurious. This is not a church system that the ancient Hebrew prophets adhered to—the ones who were of the true faith, who “wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (of whom the world was not worthy) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth” (Hebrews 11: 37-38). No, the true prophets of God did not array themselves like this religious system.

In fact, this false religious system has in the scriptures an identifier, a tag that tells us about her. She has a “name written in her forehead.” Names in scripture tell what the person or thing is—what its roots are, what its core values are. A name in scripture tells us its origin, its reason to be, and its destiny. This name written in her forehead means that her mind is full of what her name implies. Her heart and mind are full of what her name means. And her name was “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” (Rev. 17:5). Her name is given all in capital letters to signify its great importance to us.

And this church has blessed this holiday that falls on the winter solstice, that is built upon a flimsy, secular, and pagan foundation. “If the root be holy, so are the branches” (Romans 11: 16). What if the root be unholy? So, are the branches? If we are a branch of the latter or are partaking of an unholy branch, are we not a partaker of the tainted spiritual fruit?

We, who are the called to be His princes and princesses of His soon-coming kingdom must examine ourselves in this light, for we are admonished to “come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins” (Rev. 18: 4). We are rather to be “partakers of the divine nature” (II Peter 1: 4). Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Parable of the Net–The Immortal Kingdom and Its Counterfeit

Parables Are Not Nice Little Stories

First, parables are not nice little stories to help us understand the things of God. They, on the contrary, conceal hidden mysteries concerning the kingdom (government) of the Creator (Yahweh). What this parable reveals about His governance has been “kept secret from the foundations of the world” (Matt. 13:35). To the masses He speaks in parables so that only those who are suppose to receive the secrets will get them, leaving the others blinded (13:13-16).

“The Parable of the Net” is the seventh and last parable that Christ spoke in Matthew 13. “The kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth” (13: 47-50).

The Key to the Parable of the Net

The key to understanding this parable and its rich secrets is found in the phrase “end of the world.” This speaks of the demise of all the current kingdoms and governments of man as seen in the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Daniel 2: 36-45). All of man’s governments will be crushed by the “stone kingdom” which is the “kingdom of heaven” headed by the Son of man Himself, known to the world as Jesus Christ, but known to a few by His Hebrew name, Yahshua. He is the “stone that the builders {of governments} rejected.”

His government “is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him” (Dan. 7: 27). His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom for two reasons: The King is immortal, and His children who rule with Him will be immortal as well. That’s what the Good Book is about–the taking of His chosen ones to Immortality, the conquering of our final enemy, Death. That’s it in a nutshell–the doing of His will and purpose. Any other endeavor enshrouds man in pale, lifeless vanity, soon to be forgotten by the Living.

His kingdom that replaces the world system at the end of this age will be populated by immortals–those with “eternal life” or “everlasting life” {Oh, we say those words and read and quote those scriptures that contain them, but have we really believed them?}. He is, after all, the “God of the living and not the dead.” They have told us about “going to heaven” but this “kingdom of heaven” headed by Christ will be established right here on earth. There will be a few mortals who will believe this and walk with Him here.

Satan Presents the Counterfeit to the Kingdom of God

God’s designated enemy is Satan, and he knows about Yahweh’s plan to establish His kingdom in the earth. Satan’s mission is to counterfeit it–to present to mankind alternative ways to “get to heaven,” or achieve immortality.

History is strewn with discarded teachings that promise immortality. Almost every culture had it as its focus. The ancient Egyptians had their mummification rituals; the Hindus their nirvana; the Aztecs their bloody human sacrifices buying a ticket to the afterlife; the Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, and on down to the promise of heaven and paradise of Christendom and Islam.

The Net Catches All Who Shoot for Immortality

So then, in the parable of the net, we see that God’s kingdom operates as a net that catches all “comers”–all who would attain immortality the lawful way and “some other way.” We see two camps: those few in history seeking eternal life in Yahweh’s kingdom and those endeavoring to live forever by some other means.

This idea of achieving immortality is ancient and has been adrift in the “sea of mankind” since the beginning of humanity. “Sea” is the symbol in scripture for the masses of humanity. The kingdom of heaven’s essence is the promise of immortality and, like a net, it has been cast out there into everyone’s heart and mind–the desire to live on. Like a net, every one is caught with this idea in mind–the desire to live forever.

There is a time in the near future when God will deem the net to be full. This will be the “end of the world,” or the end of life as we know it to be. Christ will return to assume His literal throne right here on earth. Those things that offend His little ones He will root out and destroy. This will usher in a thousand year reign of peace and love in the earth. No more war, no more tears, no more heartache and pain. The Prince of Peace will send His representatives into every corner of this ravished earth, teaching all about His glorious reign (See my book here http://yahwehisthesavior.com/epilogue1.htm ).

Funny how this very medium is called “The NET.” This inter-Net is right on time to be used as a net to catch all kinds who would live forever, for every conceiveable philosophical thought thrives here. Funny how the ancient parable of the net is being enacted by high tech means in these latter days. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Bearing the Fruit of the Spirit–Being the Children of Light

The apostle Paul says that we are light, and we are to “walk as children of light” (Eph 5:8). Then, in the very next breath he says, “For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness…” This thus signifying that “light” is equal to bearing the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance (Gal 5:22-23).

We become the children of light when we have His Spirit abiding in us, bearing the fruit of the Spirit. Light is what makes something known; therefore, God will be manifest in us when others see and experience His love, joy, and peace coming through us. We are the light of God when we have the fruit of the Spirit because others will see God in us.

We bear this spiritual produce when we abide in the Savior Christ. We are commanded by the Savior to “abide in me,” and let me abide in you. Let my Spirit live and flow through you. Then you will bear much fruit (John 15: 4-5). Much love from above, joy, and peace will flow down from Him by His Spirit within us and out to others.

How Does His Spirit Abide in Us?

Yes, we are told by the Savior to let the Spirit of God come and flow through us. But how does this happen? Is there something that we, His children, need to do to effect this? How will His abiding presence come into us so that we can bear this fruit of His Spirit?

The Savior Jesus (Yahshua) makes a conditional promise to us concerning this. “If a man love me, he will keep my words…” (John 14:23). Good things will come to the man who loves the Son of God. Loving Him will mean he will obey his words and what He tells us to do. “If you love Me, keep my commandments”. If we do this, then He will give us the Spirit! And the Father “shall give your another Comforter; that He may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth…for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you” (John 14: 15-17). This is the Spirit of God coming down into us!

He just said, those that love Him will keep His commandments. “He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loves Me” (John 14:21). The person that loves the Son of God understands just what He requires of him, just what He wants him to do. This person that loves the Son of God will comprehend what this pre-requisite is before we can receive the in-dwelling Spirit.

What exactly are these commandments that Christ wants us to keep?

The first new thing that He commands us to do is, “Believe Me.” Real simple. Not complicated. Even a child can comprehend this. He is saying, Believe Me when I tell you about my relationship with the Father. “Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me.” That is a command. Those of us who take this to heart and do it will receive His Spirit in a reality and bear much fruit of the Spirit.

He did not request mythic gargantuan tasks to prove that we love Him. He merely gives us a simple command: “Believe me that I am in the Father and believe me that the Father is in Me” (John 14:11). We are to believe that He was in the Father’s will, heart and mind, soul and body. And we are to believe that the great Spirit Father, Yahweh Himself, was walking around doing the great miraculous works through Christ!

That’s it in a nutshell. That is what the book says. This is worshiping God in spirit and in truth. This is the truth: The Father dwelt bodily in the man Christ Jesus (Yahshua) of Nazareth. “For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” (Col 2: 9)…”He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father…I and my Father are one…God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself…”

There is so much riding on this. If we get this one, then the gates of heaven will open, and we shall be the recipients of His very Being in our bodies! He goes on, “He that believes on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works shall he do!” (John 14: 12). Because the Father will be abiding in us, too! HalleluYah! This is how we get the Father to come down and live in us: we must first believe that the Father was dwelling fully in the Son of God.

We get this right and great joy, great peace, and great love will come down through us and on out unto the world. Believing that the Father walked around in the Son of God and did the works is the first step in us receiving the Father and having Him walk around in our bodies here on the the earth. It will be He loving others through us. He will be touching others with peace and joy.

Christ goes on and confirms it again: “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” (Jn 14:23). This is how the Spirit will come down and abide in us.

“He that abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit…” Much love, joy, peace and all the rest, coming down and through us to the love-starved world. This is how we glorify the Father–that we bear much fruit of the Spirit (John 15: 8). These fruit-bearers will be His disciples.

Once the belief has begun–belief that the Father is in Christ fully–then “whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” We now have confidence to ask for more of His presence, more of His Spirit, so that it can be channeled out to others who need to know that God is real.

In this way the light of God’s Spirit will shine so that all men can be drawn to God. “If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me.” We are then to “let your light so shine that others may see your good works and glorify your Father (which is walking inside of you, doing the works).

Why is this so difficult for us to comprehend? It is because of the old leaven, the old teachings about the Father and Christ taught by the false prophets and teachers throughout the centuries. They have made it mysterious and difficult to understand God through subtilty, lest our “minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ” (II Cor 11: 3). Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Conversations With the Seer–“I Am the Vine; Ye Are the Branches”

(Formerly in Israel, if a man went to inquire of God, he would say, “Come, let us go to the Seer,” because the prophet of today used to be called a Seer. I Samuel 9: 9)

“How can we tell a false prophet?” I asked the Seer. We were all sitting around the wood stove, enjoying a cup of hot tea.

He opened the door to the cast iron box heater and threw in another log. “This I can tell you; the Master said that they will end up like this log, ‘hewn down and cast into the fire.’ This is how you can tell them from the true man of God: Christ said, You shall know them by their fruits. A false prophet or a false teacher will not bear good fruit; they will bring forth evil fruit. A good tree will bring forth good fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit (1).

“What is the fruit that He is talking about?”

“The words that Christ spoke were spirit, so it is spiritual fruit that a person brings forth, be it good or bad. The good fruit is ‘the fruit of the Spirit,’ which is ‘love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance’ (2). ”

“How do we bear this good fruit of the Spirit?”

“It’s a walk with Him. It takes time to learn to walk with Him. After our death, burial, and resurrection experience with Him, He gives us a small portion of His Spirit as a down payment towards the purchased possession–us. He urges us to grow, or rather, allow His Spirit to grow in our mortal bodies by means of prayer and study and putting into practice His way of life. He frees us from sin and sinning; this is what allows us to grow. This is when He tells us to abide in Him.”

“How do we abide in Him?”

“Christ likens Himself as being the true grape vine. The Father is the Spirit, the invisible Sap that flows up through the vine Christ, and on into us the branches. Christ commands us, Abide in me, and I in you. He says that those of us who do this will bring forth much fruit–much love from above, much joy, and much peace, and much of all the rest. We do this by being channels of His love, joy and peace. We are not the objects. That is the key (3).

“What’s the first step?”

“We must first reach out to Him and abide and remain in Him. How? In our thoughts. We match our thoughts to His. Remember: In the beginning was the Word, the Logos. And the Logos is the Thought or the Concept that the Father had in the beginning. And that Word/Logos/Concept/ Thought is Spirit. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt amoung us. Christ is the living Thought and Plan of God. We must make His Eternal Thoughts ours. That’s the secret. That’s the Truth. He is the Truth, and we can handle the Truth because He has ordained us that we should bear this fruit of His Spirit. And His Thought made flesh is the the Light of the world. When we have His mind, then we are the light of the world, too, because His Spirit will be abiding and remaining in us for all to see (4).”

“Christ really wants this for us, doesn’t He?’

“He’s all about multiplying Himself throughout a body of people whom He has chosen and elected for this honor. That’s grace. But we’ve got to get a hold of what He’s offered to His followers. We need to abide in Him by thinking on the Word/Logos/Thought of God, which is contemplating His love for us and the whole world. We can start here: He forgave all of us our sins, so now we need to forgive those who have sinned against us. This is how we continue in His love. Christ gave His life, so now we give up our selfish old life and take on His life within our hearts. He gave us another commandment: Love each other as I have love you (John 15: 12). You cannot love someone with His agape love without forgiving them first. Forgive everyone everything. It is possible with His Spirit helping us.”

“And the bad trees won’t be able to do this?”

“A bad tree won’t be able in the end to forgive, for they will not truly have Christ’s Spirit. They will come on in sheep’s clothing, looking very righteous, but they are still being motivated from their sinful, selfish hearts–hearts that do not have His Spirit. Your powers of discernment will grow as you abide more in Him and He in you. Just remember that we are the branches; He is the vine through which we receive His Spirit, and it’s His Spirit that makes it all possible to grow up into Him.” Kenneth Wayne Hancock {For more on this, check out my books here: https://immortalityroad.com/donate/ }

“I Will Remember Him That Way”–An Elegy for My Mentor

I thought of my spiritual mentor who passed away some nine years ago now. Without him and his love and patience, I would not have come out of the depraved selfish existence I led in my old life. I wrote this elegy upon hearing of his death. I want to share it with you.

I Will Remember Him That Way

I will remember him, but not for his last days on earth.

I will recall three decades ago, when the world was mad

and senseless and cruel,

When a young man and woman so in need of love

and patience

And so full of fear and loss and alienation, with cynicism

in full rotten bloom—

I’ll remember him that day, that warm April East Texas

spring day

When the joy emanating from his countenance hit me right

in the chest

As I strutted in with a smirk that said,

Okay, show me what you got,

Because I’ve just about given up the search for truth,

although I talk about it all the time,

And I know that my old self is my nemesis, my master, my

ruin,

And I can’t get rid of it by myself, because my self is my

very problem,

And I know that it has to die, and I’ve looked three years in

books from India,

And books from China, and books from Persia,

And none of the sages of the East could tell me how to put

my self to death,

And live to tell about it,

And I knew that I would waste my time

In looking to the christian buildings which cannot hold

moms and dads together in love—

So as a last futile foray for the truth before I give up

And sink into the numbness of nothingness,

I was thinking, Okay, show me what you got.

And he did, as I remember the joy and the love that swept

down on me,

As he spoke of a certain writer named Paul who spoke of

an old man Adam

Who was now put to death with the Lamb in a Roman 6

finality

And who could be raised to walk in a newness of life.

“You mean that my old self, my old ego, can die?”

I asked out loud that April morning in the cedar cabin in the

East Texas woods.

“That’s exactly what Paul is saying.”

And so I had finally found my sign that I had searched for.

I’ll remember him that way,

As the joyous messenger of my joy in God.

I’ll remember how he let me keep sleeping till noon the first

time we spent the night,

Under his breakfast table in the tarpaper shack,

For I was bidden to come and rest, and he let me rest.

I’ll recall the joy and deliverance from tobacco, drugs, alcohol,

and cursing.

I’ll remember him that way.

I’ll remember the countless times I robbed him of his rest,

And he would smile,

Knowing I was special in the hands of God.

I’ll remember him that way.

I’ll remember a man who believed in me like no one had done

before.

I’ll remember the days of Pepsi and popcorn,

And winter mornings, wood burning stove, kettle on top,

Cool mornings full of hot tea and scriptures,

When riches meant nothing and material possessions held no

power over us,

As we sat laughing into the gentle breezy piney woods evenings,

Secure at last that, yes, there is a God with a plan and purpose,

And all was as it should be here on earth at this moment.

I’ll remember him that way.

I’ll remember Tom as the mentor of my youth,

Who awakened me to greater things than my old self,

Who showed me how to speak to tens of thousands

about the Kingdom.

I’ll remember him as the one who helped me

along the road to God,

Who patiently in those early days,

taught me all the Truth he knew.

And so I ask, What more can any one man do?

I’ll remember him that way.

I’ll not let those early days be blotted out of my memory

By judging him on his last days on earth—

No matter how much it hurt—

I’ll leave all judgements of him to God and to bitter little hearts

Who can’t remember him in the early days.

But I’ll remember him that way.
