Receiving Immortality and Overcoming Death, Our “Last Enemy”

The saddest, darkest, and most hopeless day is to believe that when we and our loved ones die, then that’s it; there’s no tomorrow. Death is our “last enemy.” And Death stalks us, and our minds scurry away from it. Our mortal condition haunts us and causes us to at times run and hide from having to think about Death.

But God has made a promise–that all those who believe in the Savior will be rewarded in receiving immortality. This is our hope (1). Our day of adoption into this immortal realm is when we receive our immortal spiritual bodies in the future on a certain date (2).

Many of His followers will have to face the fact that their earthly bodies will expire before that glorious date comes (3). The encouraging part is that He has given a portion of His Spirit to them. They carry His Spirit within their mortal bodies. And with it, they not only “put to death” old deeds of the flesh, but also bear spiritual gifts to the unenlightened–to help them enter into the truth.

For His promise to us is that even if we die this earthly death before that certain date in the future, He will grant unto us a new immortal body and with it everlasting life. So whether we die or whether we live on till He come back, we are assured in our hearts, when we believe that He will do what He said He will do in granting us immortality.

He grants unto us His mortal believers His Spirit, which is a down payment, a kind of spiritual earnest “money,” if you will, until that day (4). We then wield the Spirit as a sword, cutting off every thought of minds that come against the truth. Every grudge, every insincere gesture, every fear do we deal a death blow. In so doing, we shall have an abundant door provided unto us to enter His Kingdom of the Immortals (5). Kenneth Wayne Hancock

In Him Was Life–The Light of Men

God, the creative Life Force, has now made it possible for His very Life essence to be placed into the human beings that He has created. He is Eternal Life, and “God is a Spirit.” And when He places Himself in a human being, that person has eternal life dwelling in him. The promise is unto us of immortality. But there is only one way to attain this most precious of gifts.

Only one way, and Christ is the way. He alone is the Road to Immortality. He said as much. “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The Father, who is that original Spirit Life Force, dwelt bodily and fully in the man known in the English speaking world as Jesus Christ. That is why Christ continued and said, “No man comes unto the Father, but by me” (John 14: 6).

His disciple Philip asked Him to show the Father to them. And He responded, He that has seen me has seen the Father…the Father that dwells in me, He does the works. Then Christ commands them to believe Him that the Father is in Him (John 14: 9-11). Those who can do this will go on to do greater works than what even Christ had done (v. 12).

Christ is the mediator between the Father and mankind. He alone was predestined to overcome all things and provide the way into the Most Holy Place of the Father’s Presence, which is the Spirit coming into us and us coming into Him.

So this notion that Christ Jesus, who actually was called by His Hebrew name Yahshua during the 1st and 2nd centuries–this notion that He was just another great teacher or enlightened sage must be discarded once and for all. Anyway, if He was such a great teacher, then why doesn’t everyone believe His teachings? If He was so enlightened, then why doesn’t everbody follow Him?

In Him Was Life

The scriptures of truth declare that “in Him was life.” Christ had and has eternal Life residing in Himself. And this Life Force, which is the Spirit/Father, is Light. “In Him was life; and the life was the light of men” (John 1: 4).

It is here that it gets sticky for the human race. For they are living their lives in the darkness of hidden sins and lies, and “the Light shines in the darkness,” and the darkness of men’s souls has never quenched, nor overcome, nor ever put the Light out. For the Light is the very Life Force of the Father, who is immortal.

How does the Light shine into the darkness of the human heart? It exposes the sin and evil that dwells therein. The Light shines into the heart of darkness and convicts it of sin and forces it to change, to repent. And it is here that most of the masses of humanity lose interest in Christ and His message of regeneration; they feel that they are okay and have no need to change.

Yet the Savior and His apostles’ message was, “Repent of your sins.” His forerunner, the prophet John the Baptist, witnessed to all at Christ’s appearance at the river, “Behold, the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world” (John 1: 8). He was saying that Christ has the Father in Him and He is the true Light that will search out the dark hidden recesses of your heart and soul. He will provide the way for you to not have sin plaguing you daily. He will take away your sin and anyone else’s that hears and obeys Him. He will literally “save His people from their sins,” which is exactly what His Hebrew name Yahshua means–“Yahweh is the Savior.” Yahweh, the Father, dwells fully in the Son, and He delivers us from sin and sinning.

His Spirit-Life-Love is Light insomuch as it exposes evil, selfish darkness. When a person in darkness rejects the Light, then condemnation follows. Christ and those He dwells in do not condemn anyone. They merely allow Him to live His righteous life in their daily walk and leave the judging to Him. A person is condemned when he rejects the Light by loving darkness and evil rather than drawing near to the Light. In fact, everyone who does evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light because they don’t want their evil deeds to be exposed. “Everyone that does evil hates the light, because their deeds are evil” (John 3: 17-21).

One must get past the veil of Christ’s flesh and see the Father in Him, and thereby allow the healing Light of truth cleanse our hearts and set us upon the right path. This takes humility–a commodity sorely lacking here on earth. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Christ in You–The Treasure in Earthen Vessels

Every stimulus that bombards our five senses works to prevent us from glimpsing the true Light. It is no accident that this happens; the great Creator made it this way so that His spiritual offspring would have spiritual struggles to overcome, thereby making them stronger. This is His doing and not ours; we would not do it this way. “His thoughts are not our thoughts.”

It is the overcoming of sin that lies at the heart of the Christian experience. Man’s thought says to us, No one can stop sinning in this life. This is pure self-projection, for the scriptures of truth speak otherwise. They speak of a deliverance from sin. “He that is dead is freed from sin” (1). And, “He shall save His people from their sins” (2). And “He that is born of God does not commit sin, for His seed remains in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God” (I John 3: 9).

This is what actually distinguishes the children of God from the children of darkness. I have written extensively about the “cross experience.” For it is there that one must come and surrender their old sinful selfish ways and just let them die with Christ, who bore them there; and be buried with Him, and be raised with Him. Or rather, through belief in the “operation of God” that raised Him up, we also can be “raised to walk in a newness of life” (3). This is “where old things are passed away,” where “all things are become new” (4). This is bottom line.

For it is His Life that counts. He doesn’t want a re-directed, re-furbished, re-cycled old selfish life. No. Our old life has to completely go, completely die out. He wants His life taking root and growing up in us. And finally, God wants His Spirit, the Spirit that is in Christ, to grow and flourish inside of us to the point that we become just like the Son of God. There it is. That is His plan and purpose. But only a few will have the faith to believe it and walk in it.

This is the secret kept from the foundation of the world–the secret that all seekers have wanted to know down through history. It is the treasure kept hidden in plain sight in this old world, a vast spiritual chest of knowledge much more precious than gold and diamonds. “And few there be that find it” (5).

Why? Because one cannot find this elusive spiritual treasure when moved by selfish motives. For one will not be given the map to find it if one seeks it selfishly. “Only the pure in heart shall see God” and His purpose and plan to reproduce Himself.

One can even read about this treasure in plain English, like you are reading this right now, and if their eyes have not been anointed with eyesalve, they can read the words, but the message will lay thud-like on leadened ears.

Here, then, is the secret of this “sacred mystery which up till now has been hidden in every age and every generation, but which is now as clear as daylight to those who love God. They are those to whom God has planned to give a vision of the full wonder and splendour of his secret plan for the nations. And the secret is simply this: Christ in you! Yes Christ in you bringing with him the hope of all the glorious things to come” (6). And those things include His government and righteousness filling this earth–precious things that we, His children, the overcomers will inherit. He is our Father; therefore, we are His heirs, heirs of all things!

But before all this happens, we have to get over ourselves and realize that we are nothing; it is all Him, all Christ. Once we receive that, we can find rest. KWH

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Obama and the One World Government

Well, not exactly love. A better word would be understand why they are being allowed by God to destroy America as we know it.

For America (and it hurts so deeply that it is difficult to pen these next words)–America, an Israelite nation in Biblical prophecy will fail. Our mighty nation that we grew up in–so full of liberty, promise and opportunity–is destined to go into a One World Government. I hate it on one hand, for I love this country, have fought in a foreign war for this country, and have enjoyed the benefits of our free society. But if we are to believe the prophecies in the book of Revelation, America’s federal government will become an integral part of a one world government.

“And the great dragon…Satan, which deceives the whole world was cast out into the earth…and all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (1). “And he causes all…to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads and that no man might buy or sell…” (2). The “miracles” of technology for this is already in place. Just google “rfid chip” or “microchip implant” (3).

Why This Is Happening

All this is being allowed by God to happen because we as a people have “grown fat” in this prosperous environment. We are “increased with goods and have need of nothing” and don’t realize that spiritually we are “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked” (4). We as a nation say that we have need of nothing–especially God, the God of our ancestors, the Hebrew God of the Bible. President Obama just declared to the world, “We are no longer a Christian nation,” even though the vast majority of Americans still say they are Christian. Does he know something we don’t?

Into the Greatest Depression

This dive into the greatest depression is happening to America and Western Europe just like it happened to the 12 tribes of Israel back in Moses’ and the prophets’ days. In fact, the LORD (Yahweh) through Moses warned the people what would happen after they entered the Promised Land.

He said that if you fear God and keep His commandments that He “will set you on high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come on thee…” And He lists every conceivable blessing that a nation could enjoy. The United States of America is the only nation in the history of the world that has fulfilled this prophecy! “High above all nations of the earth…” (5).

But He goes on to warn them that if they do not obey His commandments and forget Him and dishonor Him, then all these curses will come upon us. Why? “If you will not hearken unto the voice of the LORD…the LORD (YAHWEH) shall send upon you cursing…[because] you have forsaken Me” (6).

It will get so bad that “the fruit of thy land, and all thy labors, a nation which you know not shall eat up” (7). This is happening to us right now! Our income taxes are being given to other nations who have loaned our government money by the trillions—China, Japan, Saudi Arabia. All our tax dollars go to them to cover the interest on the national debt!

What happened to the Twelve Tribes of Israel is happening to us right now. When we feared God as a nation, we grew into a prosperous superpower. But now we have forgotten God and we are being brought low by Him–just like He promised.

Deja Vu

And it is all happening again as it did in the days of old. We now are enslaved by our own selfish appetites and are allowing our representatives to sign over our children’s future to the international bankers who control all three branches of the federal government.

We are letting them take our freedoms and responsibilities away–just as long as they give us our “bread and circus” the way the Romans did to the masses. As long as we can eat and drink and play our games, we think we are okay. The children of Israel, barely out of Egypt, “sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play (I Cor. 10: 7). God called this idolatry, putting fleshly appetites before God. That generation fell in the wilderness and did not make it to the Promised Land. It was all written down as an object lesson for us “upon whom the ends of the world are come” (v. 11).

A Government of, by, and for the People? Please…

Ultimately it is we the people who are to blame for what is happening to our country. During the past 100 years, we have become complacent and have allowed our dumb, spineless representatives in Congress to be bought by the rich oligarchy, and thus, they have enslaved us into paying income taxes, a key plank of the Communist Manifesto.

They have illegally bailed out their greedy Wall Street banker buddies who helped them get into office. They have exported most of our good paying manufacturing jobs overseas. They brought in NAFTA and other harmful international trade agreements that have killed our jobs. Remember Ross Perot warning us about the “sucking sound” of jobs going south if we go down that road?

It is our fault. Our founding fathers warned us of foreign entanglements and central banks. But we the people did not hearkened to them. The torches and pitchforks should have been gotten out long ago. Our great-grandfathers sat idly by in 1913 as they ramrodded the Federal Reserve Act through Congress, creating a private central bank. Our Congress shirked their duty in handling our economy, giving it over to greedy private bankers who have been pillaging America ever since. For the Fed’s policies since then has led us into ruinous world wars, depressions, and burst bubbles–not prevented them! And we have not thrown them out yet!

All These Things Must Come to Pass

But our decline into mediocrity has to take place; I’m sad to have to say it. It has to happen to humble us. It will take the debasement and final collapse of the dollar to start to wake us up. Yet most will blindly be herded into a one world currency, which leads directly into the one world government.

But as all this takes place, some will cry out to God as our ancestors did, and it is precisely this chastening from the LORD (Yahweh) that will humble us. And through our humility, God will be touched, and He will then grant us grace, and favor us again. He’ll hear the prayers of a broken people enslaved by a foreign world government, and we will remember how great it was to be living in the “land of the free and the home of the brave.” We’ll be broken-hearted and contrite and ashamed of our prideful and careless ways.

And we’ll be ashamed that we let our federal government take away school prayer to the Great God of Heaven–taken away by a Supreme Court who has the Ten Commandments carved into the front doors of the Supreme Court Building! What a bunch of hypocrites! And we will be ashamed that we let them give permission for the wholesale slaughter of the innocent unborn. We the people did not demand that our representatives and state legislatures amend the Constitution of the United States to prohibit such atrocities. It was in our power, but we did not have the will to do it as a nation.

So this is how I am learning to stop fussing and fuming every night during the evening news, as I see America being looted and hoodwinked. They say that ignorance is bliss and being blind to all of this is easier. Maybe they are right, for it is very difficult to see all of this come down. But I am learning to understand that America and Western Europe have sown to their own demise by not seeking God. And He is letting the likes of Obama and the other radical socialists strip us of our freedoms as we slide into a corporatist fascist state.

The strings on the puppet Obama are obvious to me. I even see the hands of the puppet master as he choreographs Obama’s every movement. And the puppet masters don’t even seem to care that they are spoiling the illusion of reality by coming out from behind the Bilderburg curtains. I guess they realize that we the audience have been put asleep by the dope piped in by the mainstream media and will awaken just enough to be herded into another line for the next government handout.

Manifested Sons of God Dig Deep and Lay Foundation on the Rock

The sons and daughters of God will grow up spiritually. They will have “overcome the wicked one” and all his tricks. Their eye will be single, seeing only the eternal purpose of their Father and His desire to reproduce Himself through “Christ in us.”

They are “born from above,” of “that incorruptible seed, the word of God.” They will [dig] deep and [lay] the foundation on a rock,” so that when persecution, harassment, troubles, and others’ unbelief come against them, they will remain unshaken (1).

The depth of their search for truth and their commitment to do what the truth commands–this is what distinguishes them from those who “also ran.” They not only hear Christ’s sayings, but do them. This is laying the foundation on the Rock and not the sand.

Concerning the way of truth, Christ said, “Few there be that find it” (2). But He also said, “For many be called, but few chosen” (3). So that opens the door for you and I.

So these elect for these last days will “go deep” and fully answer the call, making their “election sure”. They will do this by adding virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and agape love to their faith. This is how they will become “partakers of the divine nature” (4).

In their spiritual journey, they will receive a new heart that contains the Spirit of God. They will be led by the Spirit, which is a prerequisite of being one of His elect (5).

It’s All About What He Wants

God has an eternal purpose in reproducing Himself, and these chosen ones are at the very core of it. All of us professing Christians need to put our own personal aspirations and dreams for our lives into perspective. We need to see things from the King’s point of view. See what His priorities are, see what He wants done, see what He desires for His creation, and then, put Him and His vision first.

You Would Do This for a New Boss

To be a valuable employee at your new job, would not you be wise to learn what your boss is trying to accomplish and then, keeping that purpose in mind, spend your work day diligently endeavoring to help him do it?

So it is with God and His purpose. I am trying to get the word out about God’s purpose in “bringing many sons unto glory” (Hebrews 2: 10). This is what this blog is about–to raise awareness as to what the scriptures say is in God’s heart and what His purpose for us is.

I do not have personal designs on being one of the manifested sons who will walk in 100 fold glory as seen in Revelation 14. I will be quite content to be used to teach them and nurture them, helping them to grow up into Him. Everyone must be taught.

The apostle Paul, in fact, laments that there are not more teachers of the truth. “For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God…” (Heb. 5:12).

I do not know how old the sons and daughters are. They could be 20, 30, 40, or 60 years old at present. They may be 10 or 12 years old right now. But one thing I do know. We who have this knowledge must, by His Spirit, publish it for them and help them grow up spiritually to become what God wants them to be.

All Christians from all walks of life need to be working with this purpose in mind: to be of service to the King and His desires. If we do this, He will be pleased and will help us help Him accomplish it all. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Manifested Sons of God–Overcoming the Law of Sin and Death

The scriptures speak of a special destiny for certain human beings who overcome the pitfalls of their carnal mind. And the world is waiting breathlessly, waiting for these rare individuals to appear on the scene (1).

They are called the sons and daughters of God, for God is their spiritual Father–not in word only, but in power. For they will have changed at their core; “old things are passed away” in their new shining life. They will have picked up The Book and just believed it and walked in it, and they will change history.

The End of the Carnal Mind

The apostle Paul saw their day, which all signs tell us is our day–the latter days. He saw a group of individuals who through faith would walk the way Christ walked this earth–in purity of purpose, in honor and integrity. The way they would do this is by receiving a new spirit–God’s Spirit into their hearts. God’s Spirit will lead and guide them. Consequently, they will be called the true children of God, for those “who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” (2).

These offspring of the Most High, who dwell on earth today, will overcome being carnally minded, which is death. For “the wages of sin is death” (3). Therefore, the carnal mind stems from a heart that sins.

The Old Heart

This old heart is the spiritual condition that a person is born with. It is the core center of natural man Adam and all his earthly offspring. This old heart is the well from which the mind draws up evil selfish thoughts by the bucket fulls.

Without a spiritual heart transplant, one will continue sinning. Temptation arises, and like a bull led by a nose ring, the natural carnal minded man and woman succumbs to the temptation.

The Law of Sin and Death

And hereby hangs a law, as inexorable as the law of gravity. It is called “the law of sin and death.” It is quite simple to understand. If you continue in sin and sinning, you will die.

But someone will say, “Well, we are all going to die eventually anyway, so what is the difference?”

Yes, “it is appointed unto man once to die.” The first death will come for the vast majority–the death of our physical bodies (unless we are alive in Christ when He returns and we are changed). But it is the “second death” that we need to be concerned with. For it is the snuffing out of any memory of us and the hope of life in the next dimension–the era of the immortal ones walking on this earth.

So natural man is strapped with his old sinful nature, and try as he might, he cannot rid himself of it in his own strength.

But God has provided a way to escape this hellish condition–a way to be freed from the inevitability of this “law of sin and death” (4).

There is another Law that negates the sin and death law. It is called “The Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.” Receiving His Spirit “makes us free from the law of sin and death” (5).

The children of God will go through the “cross experience” whereby the old heart we are born with will be surrendered up. A spiritual death will occur as they identify their old self with Christ, who was sent “in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,” through which God “condemned sin in the flesh” (6).

And all this is done in us when we just believe it. This spiritual state of being “right with God” is when He dwells in us and keeps His own laws in us. When we walk in accordance with His Spirit, we do not break His Ten Commandment Law (7).

A chosen few, the future manifested sons and daughters of God, called the elect, will experience the above. They will go deep and answer the “high calling” and make their election sure (8).

These are the sons of God, shining as lights in a dark and “crooked and perverse nation.” Again, we must ask ourselves, Are we one of them? Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Sons of God–What They Are and Are Not

The sons and daughters of God are not just once a week church-pew-occupiers. They are the offspring of the King of the Universe. That makes them princes and princesses in the Court of the Creator. They are not lukewarm Christians who seldom if ever study His word or pray.

They are not just the tag “Christian,” to distinguish themselves from a Muslim or Hindu. They are “born from above.” Their origin is from a special heavenly realm, and they know it.

They know that their lives have been touched and changed by the mighty hand of God. They are not doubtful and fearing, but rather confident in God. They are not “tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine.” Their soul is anchored in Him.

They live their life as if God really does see them and their actions. For they know that their actions have their source in Him because “it is no longer [them] that lives, but Christ that lives in [them]” (1). They are no longer merely “holding a form of godliness, but denying the power” (2). For they know that “God has not given [them] the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (3).

They Know that God Is Leading Them

They know that all along life’s journey, God is leading them on a definite spiritual path of growth, whose end product is that they “all come to the unity of the faith…unto a perfect man..till Christ be formed in [them]” (4).

They sense that God is guiding them, though He stays hidden in the background, unobtrusive, never loud and pushy, always quietly pulling the strings of their hearts, touching them, tenderizing them, steering them into yet another way-station where they might rest from the rigors of their spiritual sojourn.

He is invisible there, helping their faith, stretching them, trying them, proving them, seeing if they are made of the right stuff needed to become a ruler in His kingdom.

They will come to realize all this. This high calling will dawn on them, as the “day star [arises] in their hearts.” This is when they will cease to be “babes in Christ” and begin to grow up into Him. God’s vision for His earth will crystallize for them and they will be changed into His image at the end of this age. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Rise of the Sons and Daughters of God–The Last Shall Be First, and the First Shall Be Last

During the destruction of the Satanic One World Government coming soon to this earth, God shall debut His crowning creation–His sons and daughters (See “Time of the End…” posted June 13, 2009).

The prophets of old and all the apostles spoke of their time, which now is our time in the earth. They are the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose in reproducing Himself in the laboratory called earth. They saw into our time, when God would bestow immortality to a select few (1).

Seeing into the Future

They saw into the future and saw the chosen ones destined for completeness in Christ, perfected because of His Spirit dwelling fully in them. The apostle Paul said that, aware of it or not, the entire created realm here on earth is “waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God” (2). The world is groaning for heroes to arrive on the scene. You can see it in popular culture, books, and movies. We all want someone to look up to, to lead us out of the political confusion and economic morass we find ourselves in.

All the prophets and apostles saw our day, saw our era when our Father would end the evil reign of our adversay and usher in the return of the King Jesus (Yahshua) along with the princes and princesses of God. For we must remember that He has promised us that we will sit on thrones as judges in His kingdom. The overcomers “will sit with Him on His throne” (3).

These overcomers will stride forth, rising like a phoenix out of the ashes of what is left after the Great Tribulation and bring glad tidings of real peace to the remaining inhabitants of the earth after tribulation.

“The Last Shall Be First” and “The First Shall Be Last”

God has saved the best for last. “The first shall be last,” said the Master. And these sons and daughters are the first who were in the Father’s heart before the worlds were ever created. They were in His heart before the Play ever started here on earth and are the end product of His plan to reproduce Himself. They will come forth during the last act of The Play. Their entrance onto the world stage has been reserved for our present time–the “last” days. These also will be the first to “not taste of death”–mortal death. For their bodies will be changed “in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trump” (4).

And “the last shall be first.” These glorious offspring of God will be the last on the present scene here on earth. They will come forth during our present era of time. They shall be the first to “not taste of death.” They’ll be the first to be fully manifested, fully matured with the Spirit of God dwelling in them in its fullness.

We now must all pull together to nurture each other, for who knows? Your brother or sister in Christ just may be one of these future princes or princesses of God. I should be our goal in life to be yoke-fellows with Christ to help implement God’s plan in the earth. For these sons and daughters of God will be called out of their present sinful condition, and thr0ugh many growing pains, they shall walk with Him in white.

Be Still, Be Patient–Waiting for God in the Telecommunication Age

Tweets, tiny phones, and instant electronic mail producing photos of friends’ faces in vibrant color–friends you’ve been longing to see and couldn’t until the seeming miracle of telecommunications in the 21st Century happens upon you. It’s intoxicating to ride this speeding bullet we now call our life, careening now down through time at the speed of light.

The Still Small Voice

But for many of us there’s that “still, small voice” inside that whispers to us, “Be still, and know that I am God” (1).

And we begin to realize that there comes a time when we need to take stock, when we need to get up early in the morning while the stars are still out, a cup of something hot in hand, and look out at the endless blanket of star dust thrown over us, and ponder the One who put it there.

Somebody must leave “the cares of this life” for a moment and think deeply on why we are here, on His purpose for us on the planet, and on what is actually happening on earth.

But that takes a seeking heart, a humble spirit, a hungry soul. And He will take that heart and create a gnawing need to know the truth–the truth as to why we are here. And since there is a Creator (just look up at those stars), He must have a specific purpose for all the human vessels that He has created. I mean, He’s even got a specific purpose for the tiny digestive tract of a flatworm. How much more for our existence–us whose lives He redeemed when He gave Himself for us.

No. This is no accident–our lives here on this terrestrial globe, floating serenely as it were through the late spring air.

Waiting for God

The truth as to our destiny to be His actual immortal sons and daughters–the truth as to the evil forces hindering His plan for us–the truth about how we enter into this new walk of awareness–there’s so much to learn.

But we must stop and get off this speed-of-light train long enough to contemplate and savor the things God has for us. For “blessed are all they that wait for Him” (2).

We have to wait for Him. “God is light,” but He does not necessarily travel at the speed of light. We have to wait for Him, for He will check us out to see if we are fit to be a ruler in His new government He’s bringing to earth shortly. He will prove us and try us to see if we are of the right stuff to be His princes and princesses. We are children of the King, aren’t we?

And this checking us out involves sufferings and trials and tribulations both in our personal lives and on a worldwide arena. So it takes patience.

The Crux of the Matter

So the question is this: Are we one of those He calls to love Him enough to endure to the end with Him and His glorious purpose for our lives? That’s the question we need to ponder under the stars or under the green universe of that giant oak tree, teeming with ring-necked doves and inquisitive squirrels who wonder when we are going to wake up and become what we are supposed to be.

Will we stride forth in the power of the Spirit, or will we strut our stuff, hoping our shaky little world holds up? Are we a contender or a pretender? A conqueror or a slave?

So this is what this website is about. Click on a “Category” of interest to you in the right hand column and read and ponder and, yes, electronically send it to someone you love who needs these words–words that are a distillment of four decades of study and life.

And those who patiently wait for Him have the Father’s promise: “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you” (3). Kenneth Wayne Hancock

“He Who Commits Sin Is a Slave to Sin”–Part II, or How to Be Free from Sin

Man comes into existence with the old nature, the old self, and he is a slave to sin and its carnal fleshly lustful desires. God bids us to come to the cross to let that old sinful spirit within us die a sacrificial death with the Savior. This is our repentance from sin and the washing of regeneration in which our old sinful self dies and we are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb and given a new spirit from the heart of God.

Then we will desire to come to the light so that the world will know that the good clean deeds we do now are actions derived from His spirit within us. We will know that He is the one actually doing this miracle of change within us. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth comes to the light that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God (John 3: 19-21).

Condemnation Comes by Not Believing in His Name

The truth is that God has provided a way for man to change his ways, and that way is Jesus (Yahshua), the Son of God. When one persists in living in the darkness of sin, then that person is “condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

A person is condemned because he hasn’t believed in His name? Yes, for they have not believed in the meaning of His name. And His Hebrew name Yahshua means “Yah, the Self-Existent One, is the Savior.” His name says it all in the Hebrew.

How He Saves

He saves His people by first coming down in human flesh and being Emmanuel, God with us. Then He takes that Lamb to the sacrificial altar (the cross) where all of our sin was placed, and when He died on the cross, then our sin died. When He was buried, our old nature was buried. And when He was resurrected, then we were also raised to walk in a newness of life.

From the very beginning of God being with us in human form, it was all about Him saving us from our sins. Yah says that He alone is the Savior many times in the prophets. “You shall call His name Yahshua, for He shall save His people from their sins” (Matt. 1: 21).

The word about this is the truth that makes us free from sin and sinning. He says that He will save us from our sins. He says it by His word and His word is truth. And this is the light that shines into the darkness. This light is His Life that He desires to give His people. He plans to give His Life to them. It is His Life coming into us through faith in His resurrection in us that dispels the darkness of sin in one’s life.

When someone shrieks away from this light, they are denying His name and what it means: Yah is the Savior. “I, even I, am Yahweh; and beside me there is no savior” (Isaiah 43: 11). Kenneth Wayne Hancock
