Genesis Is the Seed Book

Genesis, the beginning, the genes of God

God’s purpose is to reproduce Himself. This is the foundation of all His works, and He has embedded this purpose in the “law of harvest,” the law He established from the beginning.

To grasp the magnitude of this, we must rise to a high vantage point—fifty thousand feet above the text—and see the pattern: God is love, therefore He sows love; God is the Seed, therefore He sows Himself. Yahweh came in human flesh as Yahshua, the Seed who “fell into the ground and died,” so that a harvest of many sons and daughters could come forth at the end of the age. This is not a peripheral doctrine; it is the beating heart of Scripture. (1 John 4:8; John 12:24; Galatians 6:7)

But to understand this purpose, we must return to Genesis, the seed book of God. Everything begins there. Genesis is not merely a record of ancient people; it is the divine nursery where God plants the first seeds of His plan. The men and women of Genesis are not random characters in an old story—they are seed bearers, prototypes, types and shadows of the spiritual realities that will come to full harvest in our day. (Genesis 1:11–12; Hebrews 10:1; Romans 15:4; I Cor. 10:11)

Their lives are the script for the great drama called His Life on Earth. Each life contains a seed truth destined to mature. For seeds are never ends in themselves; they exist for harvest. And the harvest, Christ tells us, is “the end of the world”—the end of this present age when God gathers what He has sown. (Ecclesiastes 3:2; Matthew 13:39)

Abraham’s Seed

Consider Abraham. God chose him from the line of Adam and planted in him the seed of faith. Abraham believed God and thus became the father of all who believe. Isaac, the son of promise, was conceived in a barren womb—because God’s seed always begins in human impossibility. The seed of faith was still working, still delivering the promises of God. (Genesis 12:1–3; Genesis 15:6; Genesis 17:19; Romans 4:19–21)

But Genesis reveals more. The next generation—Esau and Jacob—unfolds another layer of God’s secret. Again, the woman is barren. Rebecca conceives only because Isaac entreats Yahweh. And within her womb, the twins struggle. This is not incidental; it is prophetic. It is seed. (Genesis 25:21–22)

Rebecca asks, “Why is this happening to me?” Yahweh answers with a revelation that reaches far beyond her household: “Two nations are in your womb… the elder shall serve the younger.”  (Genesis 25:23)

These twins are not merely brothers; they are two nations, two destinies, two manners of people. Their conflict begins before birth and continues through history. Yahweh Himself declares, “Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.” Their lives are the seed of a struggle that will reach full harvest at the end of the age. The two nations fathered by Esau/Edom and Jacob/Israel today are struggling with each other to inherit the promises made to their forefathers. (Malachi 1:2–3; Romans 9:10–13)

Christ identifies the timing: “The harvest is the end of the world.” (Matthew 13:39)

Therefore, the seeds planted in Genesis—especially in the lives of Esau and Jacob—must come to harvest in the last days. These are not symbolic nations only; they are real peoples in the earth. Their identities today are veiled, intertwined, and difficult to trace, yet Scripture insists that understanding them is essential to understanding the end time harvest. (Genesis 27–36; Obadiah 1)

There are clues. Esau is called Edom, meaning “red.” Find Edom’s descendants and you find Esau. Jacob’s name is changed to Israel, “prince with God.” These two lines run through history, sometimes distinct, sometimes entangled, but always moving toward the final harvest. (Genesis 25:30; Genesis 32:28)

Half of Genesis is devoted to the story of these two men and their families. This is not accidental. Their lives are the physical and spiritual seeds of the final conflict and the final harvest. If one desires to know what will happen at the end of the age, one must study the seed beginnings in Genesis. For the end is always hidden in the beginning, and the harvest is always hidden in the seed. (Genesis 25–50; Ecclesiastes 3:2) Genesis is the seed book. We are living in the harvest. (Matthew 24:32–35)  Kenneth Wayne Hancock

When God Forgets: Living Without the Memory of Sin

No More Remembrance: Entering the Mind of Christ

The mind of Christ does not remember our sins and faults. But Satan does—and he casts them before us in a relentless barrage of scenes and images from our former life. He remembers, and he hurls these memories at our minds until we finally awaken to what is happening.

“For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more” (Heb. 10:17). Our Father is merciful; He does not remember our sins. Why, then, should we continue to remember them?

Satan, the “god of this world,” works tirelessly to drag us back into the old covenant mindset. Under that former agreement, “there is a remembrance again made of sins every year” (Heb. 10:3). The worshipers should have had “no more conscience of sins,” yet year after year their minds were plagued, and they relied on animal sacrifices to reset their standing before God.

But our Savior ended the old covenant with all its outward, carnal ordinances. Animal blood cannot remove sins—nor can it erase the memories of sins past (v. 4).

Here is what Christ has done for us: it is as though every despicable deed of our former life had never happened. He has freed us from guilt, shame, and the darkness in which we once hid our actions. In place of all that, He has given us grateful hearts toward the King who bestowed such undeserved favor—granting us His mercy and, with it, His power to walk sinless in Eden once again.

Sinless, because He has given us a new center of being—one composed of light. Our past, present, and future are now held in His sinless life. For which is easier for God: to erase from His mind all sins already committed, or to keep us from committing sins today and tomorrow? Would not the same faith in His incomprehensible power address our actions past, present, and future?

Our Savior has cut out the cancerous core of sin within us and replaced it with a “new heart” and a “new spirit” (Ezek. 36:26). In His kindness, He has secured forever our access into His fellowship and family.

And this miracle of transformation is received through belief—simple, flat‑out faith. It is believing that God has completed the change, exactly as He declared. He has spoken this new creation into existence and now waits with great patience for us to awaken from our slumber. He endures our stubbornness with long‑suffering, allowing us to share in His sufferings.

Through the trials woven into life, He teaches us to trust His word more deeply. We run to Him for solace in our need and temptation, and our belief strengthens.

We complicate what He has made simple. We need only believe this about Christ: “Now once in the end of the world has He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself” (Heb. 9:26).

Let Him speak again: “I will put my laws into their mind and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people…For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more” (Heb. 8:10, 12).

If God does not remember our sins, why are we remembering them? Even if we lament how our selfishness hurt someone, God does not remember that incident. Why should we? It is a clean slate. You want to walk by faith? Then this is a good place to begin. kwh

The Strong Tower of God’s Hebrew Name

There are seasons when the battlefield of the mind feels relentless. Thoughts rise like storm winds, swirling through our grey matter with a force that seems beyond our control. Scripture is clear that such mental assaults are not imagined; they are part of the enemy’s strategy. “The devil…walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet. 5:8). Paul warns believers that Satan launches “fiery darts” toward the mind (Eph. 6:16). These darts often take the form of recurring, self-accusing thoughts — memories of past failures, thinking about material things, shame from our former life, whispers of condemnation that loop again and again.

And this happens not only to the unsaved. Even Christians, redeemed and indwelt by the Spirit, experience days when the old mental tapes play loudly. Some days are quiet, peaceful, and clear. Other days feel like ambushes — the negative thoughts demand to be heard, and Christ seems absent from the loop. We do not always know which kind of day awaits us.

But God has not left His people defenseless. He has provided a place of refuge — a spiritual fortress into which the righteous may run. “The name of Yahweh is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and is safe” (Proverbs 18:10).

The Name as a Refuge

Scripture does not say merely that God is a strong tower, though that is true. It says His name is the tower. Yahweh revealed His name to His people as a memorial — something to remember Him by, something to cling to, something to run toward. His name is not a mere label; it is a revelation of His nature. Yahweh means “the self-existing One.” The One who depends on nothing, who changes not, who is eternally present.

And when Yah-come-in-human-form walked among us, He bore a name that carried Yahweh’s nature into our world: Yahshua — “Yahweh is salvation.” The angel declared, “You shall call His name Yahshua, for He will save His people from their sins” (Matt. 1:21).

His very name is a proclamation of deliverance. His name is the gospel in a single word.

Meditating on His Name Breaks the Loop

When negative thoughts rise like a flood, when the old life tries to speak again, when the self-criticizing loop begins its familiar cycle, the believer has a God-given escape route: run into the strong tower of His name.

To meditate on His name is to remember what His saving work accomplished. His name reminds us that:

  • We were purged from our old sins (2 Pet. 1:9).
  • We died with Christ, were buried with Him, and through faith in His resurrection, we were raised with Him (Rom. 6:1–12; Col. 2:11–13).
  • Our old life — the source of those condemning thoughts — is gone.
  • “He that is dead is freed from sin” (Rom. 6:7).

Freed not only from sin’s penalty, but from sin’s mental tyranny — the self-incriminating loop that tries to drag us back into darkness.

When we think upon Savior’s name, we are not performing a mental trick. We are entering a spiritual reality. We are stepping into the tower God Himself built for our protection. His name is the place where the accusing voices cannot follow, where the past cannot condemn, where the enemy’s darts cannot penetrate.

Our birthright in becoming the offspring of God hinges upon us receiving Christ, the Light. That takes place when we believe in His name. “But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12). And how do we “believe in His name”? By believing in the meaning of His name. This shows Him that we have received Him. His name Yahshua means Yah is the Savior. [See Acts 3:16. The power is derived by having “faith in His name,” or believing in the meaning of His name] This kind of belief in His name is running into the tower.

Into the Tower

Running into the tower is not complicated. It is simply this:

Turn your mind toward His name. Speak His name. Meditate on the meaning of His name. Let His name interrupt the loop.

The moment we do, the spiritual architecture of Proverbs 18:10 becomes real. The righteous — not the perfect, not the strong, not the emotionally stable — the righteous run into His name and are lifted “securely on high,” out of reach of the swirling thoughts below.

His name is not only salvation from sin; it is salvation from the mental residue of sin.  His name is not only redemption; it is refuge. His name is not only a theological truth; it is a spiritual tower. And the believer who learns to run into that tower will find safety, stability, and peace — even on the days when the mind feels like a battlefield.    [If this has helped you, please subscribe, share, like and comment.

The Manifestation of the Sons of God–What the World Needs Now

This world has one major need right now at the beginning of the 21st Century.  The world doesn’t need another politician telling the people what they want to hear.  The world doesn’t need a steady robust economy to help it through the hard times that have been prophesied upon it.  No.  The world needs the sons of God to arrive on the scene.  They must come forth for these last days.

The whole creation, the apostle Paul wrote, (whether it knows it or not), is anxiously awaiting the sons of God to come upon the world stage.  For the sons of God will have something that all mortals walking the face of the earth must have.  They will have the key that will set the whole creation free from the chains of a certain physical death.  These children of the Most High are God’s elect, His sons made in His image, and they are what this world needs.  They are the ones who will have cut through all of the deception and vice in this world system.  They alone will see the Spirit and walk in the Spirit and be filled with the Spirit of the living Yahweh.  They will build the old waste places and build the spiritual walls to the heavenly city.

Why the World Needs the Sons of God

The creation has purposely been subjected to mortality by its Creator God. The impending gloom of a certain death is no accident or aberration of God’s  original  plan.  It  has  been  His  will  all  along  for  death  to  come to all living.  And then, a few mortals will be brought by Him to an awareness of the abiding power of His spiritual presence and will become His actual spiritual children. He will change them and will engulf them with immortality one day soon.   And it is through them that the whole creation will finally come to know this glorious liberty from a certain physical death. The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.  For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. Romans 8:19-21, NIV. 

     Every living thing on this planet will die; the whole creation will decay and go back to dust.  And we, this earthly creation, are “in bondage of corruption,” as it says in the King James Version.

The word “corruption” is translated from the Greek word phthora, #5356 in Strong’s.  It means “decay.”  Its root comes from #5351 phthio, to waste, shrivel, or wither.  We, the creation, are bound to become decaying matter someday.  And all of us, be we religious or not, are groaning under the impending physical doom that awaits us.

All of us have a built in desire to live forever.  Every ancient culture, without exception, was concerned with this impending gloom of an early exit from life.  All the ancient religions were concerned about how to secure immortality  for  the  mortal.   And  so  it  is  with religions today.  Man keeps on waiting, waiting, waiting for something real that will happen in order to deliver them from a certain death.

The creation is like the wife of the Creator, who is in the  deep  pains  of childbirth.  She is struggling to deliver her  children,  the  sons  of God.  For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.  And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Romans 8: 22-23, KJV.

The whole creation is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the sons of God because they are the first ones who will be released from mortality’s chains.  They will be the first ones who will not have to taste death.  And then after they are made known, the creation can look forward to its redemption.  That is how important the sons of God are.  When they are adopted or placed as sons, then a new era begins—an era where immortals will stride the earth, showing forth God’s way.

We Who Have Some Truth Also Desperately Need the Sons of God

Just look around us.  What do we see in every corner?  We see lurid trash in political high places, filthy-minded  movies and TV.  There is no shame to the world system.  And it is not getting any better.  So we try to lock in on the word of God.  We endeavor to glimpse a truth here, a truth there.  Some of us are trying to lead a holy life, but we “see through a glass darkly.”  We know, or should know that we are not walking in all truth.  For if we were, we would be bearing the same spiritual fruit as the prophets and apostles of God.  And we can’t seem to get in agreement and one accord with other sincere followers of Christ.

As  a  large  body  of  people,  we  can’t  see  eye  to   eye enough to get together.  Divisions abound.  We, if we are blessed, have a place to meet with a few other people who share some of our own beliefs, but something is dras-tically missing.  The unity of the Spirit is only a dream, for one group does not see eye to eye with another.  We are to be in one mind and one accord, and yet, who is to say just what that one mind is?  Who has the authority to say for sure anything?  Who has a sure word? There are several thousand “Christian” denominations, and they are growing exponentially daily.  There is probably a different concept of God and His plan for every one of His professing followers.

And it appears that the enemy is gaining ground, and we, the body of Christ, because of our disagreements and lack of unity, are seemingly losing ground as far as any “great move of truth” is concerned.

So what is the answer to this dilemma?  It is as if Yahweh Himself is needed to come down and just flat appear to His select few, whoever they are!  That would clear up the dim vision of those He has chosen.  They would definitely “get on the same page” after that shared glorious experience.  In the light of His own countenance and glow filling the room each would be in, He would straighten out off-concepts, purge out old leaven, old hypocrisies, and false concepts of Himself.  There would be no self-delusion if the King Himself came down to a handful!

Then a fire would well up from out of their bones!  Then they would cry to His people in His stead.  They would be His voice with his word welling up and out as springs gush out making rivers where dry land once was.

That is what we all need.  We need a sure word.  We need the Captain of our faith Himself to get a cadre of His brothers to catch on fire and, in turn, ignite the world.  We need a group of people baptized with the Spirit and with fire.   We need them!   We groan within ourselves, longing for someone to stand in the gap between God and the world.

That is the only thing that will ever turn this world upside down—if the people of the world were ready and knew they had a need for God in human form, had a need for the sons of the living God.

This whole creation is crying and groaning looking for someone sincere and true to believe in.  The heroes are gone; the people run to their idols of music and movies.  Those are their gods—gods who cannot see or hear them and their longings and needs, for their gods can see no one but themselves.  The whole creation does not know it, but they are groaning and longing for the manifestation of the sons of God.  And these sons will walk with the Lamb wherever He goes, for they shall be like Him.  These are they who will do the greater works that the Master spoke of.

It All Hinges on the Sons, But Do They Know Who They Are?

Yes, the manifestation of the sons of God is of extreme importance in God’s plan, but do they know who they are?  Do they realize their calling that He has placed on them?   Do  they  know  that  He  knew  them  long  before their earthly sojourn began?  Do they at present realize that  He  has  already  given  them  a glorious destiny—a destiny that has them justified from sin, set apart for this special work, and also glorified from heaven?  Does God’s elect, His chosen ones, know these things?

Have they called on His name and restored their heart back to Him?  But if they haven’t believed on Him, then how are they to call on Him?  And how can they believe on this God if they have never heard Him, never heard His Spirit, never heard Him who is the Word?  They are going to have to hear Him being spoken out of the mouth of another son in order to believe on Him.  And how shall these prospective sons hear unless there be a preacher?  And who is really going to be effective as a preacher?  The world is full of preachers.  Anyone who thinks they have heard from God calls himself a preacher.  The future sons will be reached by those who proclaim the truth.  And these proclaimers will be sent.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of Yahweh shall be saved.  How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?  And how shall they preach, except they be sent?

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 Omnipresence of Yahweh as the Milieu of the Abiding

Yah’s Omnipresence: Ushers in the Abiding

The Scriptures present a God who is not distant, detached, or confined to sacred spaces, but One who permeates all reality. His omnipresence is not an abstract doctrine; it is the living environment in which His offspring dwell. When the heart perceives that Yahweh fills heaven and earth, surrounds His creation, and sustains every breath, then the mystery of abiding—He in us and we in Him—becomes intelligible. But unbelief in His nearness blinds the soul to the abiding life. This essay explores how the biblical witness to Yahweh’s omnipresence forms the very atmosphere in which His people remain, dwell, and live inside Him.

Yahweh Near at Hand

Paul declares that humanity is meant to “feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us” (Acts 17:27). Yahweh is not remote; He is near. Paul continues, “For in Him we live, and move, and have our being” (Acts 17:28). The preposition en (“in”) carries the sense of inside of. As chairs are in the kitchen—inside its space—so we exist inside God, who is Spirit (John 4:24). His omnipresence is not metaphor but milieu.

Because He is near, the kingdom of heaven is “at hand”—close enough to touch. The King is present, and His realm surrounds us.

The Promise of His Perpetual Presence

Yahweh’s nearness is not merely spatial; it is covenantal. “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:5). His abiding presence is His promise.

This promise echoes through the patriarchal narratives. To Jacob Yahweh says, “I am with thee… I will not leave thee” (Genesis 28:15). Jacob’s seed would spread to the four winds, yet Yahweh would accompany them in every place. Likewise, Yahweh appears to Isaac, saying, “I am with thee” (Genesis 26:24) and “I will be with thee” (v. 3). His presence is not limited by geography; wherever His people go, He is already there.

If Yahweh vows never to leave His offspring, then His presence must be here—now—surrounding and sustaining us.

The Spirit Who Encompasses All

Job affirms, “In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind” (Job 12:10). Our breath is held within His grasp; our existence is enveloped by His Spirit. We live in God. We move in God. We have our being inside His omnipresent Spirit.

John writes, “We are in Him that is true” (1 John 5:20). This is the language of abiding. Abiding is not a mystical achievement; it is the conscious recognition of omnipresence.

Yahweh Himself declares, “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” (Jeremiah 23:24). The One who fills all dimensions surrounds us on every side. We inhale His nearness with every breath.

He dwells in a spiritual dimension not detected by the five senses, yet He is nearer than our own thoughts. His kingdom is at hand because the King is everywhere present.

Solomon confessed, “The heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee” (1 Kings 8:27). Modern astronomy only magnifies this truth: billions of galaxies cannot contain Him. Reverence is the only fitting response.

Omnipresence as the Atmosphere of Abiding

Abiding in Him—and He in us—is a multifaceted mystery. This essay highlights one facet: the omnipresence of Yahweh makes abiding possible. If He fills heaven and earth, then His indwelling is not an intrusion but a revelation. Other facets of abiding include eating His flesh and drinking His blood (John 6:56), and doing the will of God (1 John 2:17). Together these illuminate the mystery Paul names “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).

To abide is to awaken to the God who already surrounds us, sustains us, and indwells us. Omnipresence is the atmosphere of communion.

When we believe in His omnipresence, then we become one with His Spirit that is everywhere. We have broken through the maze of the world’s material matrix. We then are called to walk in God’s spiritual dimension. This is the walk of faith/belief. “All things have become new.” Parameters of the old world crumble, making way for believers to walk in a “newness of life.” Kenneth Wayne Hancock

A Book of Remembrance—For Those Who Think Upon His Name

God’s Last‑Day “Special Treasure”

He has a special treasure hidden in the earth. They are a chosen people whom He watches with keen attention as they walk through this world. He takes special note of them.

O, that God would remember us! There is a way for these special ones to be in God’s memory. Yahweh notices these characteristics about them:

(1) They fear Him. They stand in awe of Him. They know who He truly is, what He has done, and they hold a reverential awe toward His majesty.

(2) They speak often one to another. They find each other. And when they do, they “click.” God directs their steps until their paths meet.

(3) God listens to their conversations. He hearkens to their speech as they encourage one another.

(4) And then He remembers them. When they fear Him, He not only takes notice—He commands His angels to write “a book of remembrance…for them that feared Yahweh, and that thought upon His name” (Malachi 3:16–17). He remembers the humble as they remember Him. For His name is a memorial, that we would not forget Him and what He has done for us.

What were they speaking about? We know that whatever we think about, that is what we speak about. These chosen ones were speaking to each other about God’s Name—His Hebrew Name.

This moves God. How can we—little old us—ever touch God’s heart so that He would take notice of us? First, we fear Him; that is wisdom. Wisdom is reverential awe. And then we think on His Name. We ponder His Name, peruse it, explore it, understand the message contained in His Name, and then believe that message.

And this is the message contained in the Son’s Name Yahshua: Yahweh is the Savior (Isaiah 43:11).

He goes on to say that Yahweh will remember His elect “in that day when I make up my jewels” (“special treasure” in Hebrew). And these special ones He will spare.

Spare them from what? Spare them from the tribulation coming upon the earth. He will take care of His own—but not through a rapture. The humble who are in awe of Yahshua’s Name will make it through to the other side of earth’s destruction.

“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Yahweh… But unto you that fear my Name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings…” (Mal. 4:1–2).

His “special treasure” is His elect—those who fear Him and think upon His Name. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Believing on the Name Brings Answered Prayer and the Abiding

The Way to Answered Prayer and the Indwelling Presence of Yahweh

There are commandments in Scripture that stand like doors. They do not merely instruct; they open into realms of divine experience. One such commandment appears in the writings of the apostle John: “This is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Yahshua the Messiah, and love one another” (1 John 3:23). This is not a suggestion, nor a theological footnote. It is the central requirement for those who desire answered prayer and the abiding presence of God.

John declares that “whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments” (1 John 3:22). And the first of these commandments is to believe on His Name. The Name Yahshua is not a mere label; it is a revelation. It means “Yahweh is the Savior.” To believe on His Name is to believe the message contained within it—that the invisible Yahweh has come in human form to save, that the Father was in the Son reconciling the world unto Himself, and that salvation is the work of Yahweh alone.

Yahweh confirms in many places that He is the Saviour. “I, even I, am the LORD (Yahweh), and beside Me there is no Savior” (Isaiah 43:11). [Compare Isa. 45:15, 21; 49:26; 60:16; Hosea 13:4]

This belief is not intellectual assent. It is the doorway into answered prayer, the gateway into divine indwelling, and the foundation of the abiding life. All of this hinges on faith: believing having not seen as yet.

The Name Yahshua: The Revelation We Are Commanded to Believe

The commandment to “believe on the name of His Son Yahshua” is rooted in the meaning of the Name itself. Yahshua is the Hebrew form of Joshua, meaning “Yahweh is salvation.” The Name is a declaration of identity. It proclaims that the One walking among men in flesh is none other than Yahweh Himself, the eternal Spirit clothed in humanity.

This is why John writes with such gravity: “He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:18). Condemnation does not come from failing to pronounce the Name correctly, but from rejecting the truth embedded within it. To deny that Yahweh is the Savior is to deny the Father who dwelt in the Son.

Thus, believing on His Name is the first act of obedience. It is the acceptance of heaven’s witness concerning Yahshua. It is the foundation upon which all spiritual experience rests.

Believing on His Name and Answered Prayer

John ties answered prayer directly to obedience: “Whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments” (1 John 3:22). And the first of these commandments is to believe on His Name.

Why is this the condition for answered prayer? Because to believe on His Name is to believe:

  • that Yahweh is the Savior
  • that Yahweh dwells in the Son
  • that Yahweh now dwells in us by the Spirit
  • that prayer is the communion of Yahweh-within speaking to Yahweh-above

Prayer is not a human reaching upward; it is Yahweh-in-us reaching toward Yahweh-in-heaven. This is why Yahshua said:

“If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:14) To ask “in His Name” is not to attach a formula to the end of a prayer. It is to pray according to the truth of His identity—Yahweh revealed in the Son, now abiding in the believer. When we pray from this place of union, our petitions align with His will, and He delights to answer. Thus, believing on His Name is the doorway into effective prayer.

Believing on His Name and the Abiding Presence

John continues: “He that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him” (1 John 3:24). The commandment is to believe on His Name. Therefore: He that believes on His Name dwells in Yahweh, and Yahweh dwells in him.

This is the abiding life Yahshua described in John 15:

  • “Abide in me, and I in you.”
  • “He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit.”
  • “Without me ye can do nothing.”

Abiding is not mystical passivity. It is the result of believing the heavenly testimony concerning Yahshua. When we believe that Yahweh is the Savior, that Yahweh was in the Son, and that Yahweh now dwells in us by the Spirit, we enter into the abiding union that produces fruit. This is the earthly witness of the heavenly truth. This is the Spirit, the water, and the blood agreeing in one. This is the life of Yahweh flowing through the believer.

The Name as the Convergence Point of Heaven’s Witness and Earth’s Witness

In the previous chapter, we saw that 1 John 5:7–8 presents two witnesses:

  • Heaven’s witness: the Father, the Word, and the Spirit
  • Earth’s witness: the Spirit, the water, and the blood

These two testimonies converge in the believer through the Name Yahshua.

  • Heaven declares who Yahshua is.
  • Earth reveals what Yahshua does in us.
  • The Name is the bridge between the two.

To believe on His Name is to accept heaven’s witness. To receive the Spirit is to receive earth’s witness. To abide is to experience the agreement of water and blood. To bear fruit is to manifest the life of Yahweh. Thus, the Name Yahshua is not merely a theological concept. It is the meeting place of revelation and experience, of identity and indwelling, of heaven’s testimony and earth’s testimony.

The Unified Thesis: The Name Unlocks Prayer and Presence

The commandment is simple: believe on His Name. The promise is profound:

  • Answered prayer — “Whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him.”
  • Abiding presence — “He dwelleth in him, and he in Him.”
  • Fruit-bearing life — “The same bringeth forth much fruit.”

The Name Yahshua holds precious blessings and powers for the followers of Christ. It is the revelation of Yahweh as Savior. It is the key to prayer. It is the doorway to abiding. It is the foundation of fruitfulness. It is the center of the believer’s life. To believe on His Name is to enter into the fullness of what Yahweh has given in His Son. kwh

The Two Witnesses of Yahshua

Heaven’s Testimony and Earth’s Testimony in the Believer

There are passages of Scripture that do not merely inform; they unveil. They open like a door into the architecture of divine revelation. I John 5:7–8 is such a passage. In two brief verses, the apostle John presents a pattern of testimony—one in heaven and one on earth—each bearing witness to the identity and work of Yahshua the Messiah. These two testimonies are not parallel lines running independently of one another. They are two halves of a single revelation, converging in the life of every true believer.

The text reads:

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” (1 John 5:7–8)

John is not offering a doctrinal aside. He is unveiling the structure of how God reveals Himself and how that revelation enters, transforms, and bears fruit within the believer. When this heavenly and earthly testimony is placed beside the teachings of Yahshua in the Gospel of John—His Name, His Spirit, and the abiding life—the pattern becomes unmistakable. The two witnesses form one unified testimony of Yahweh’s salvation.

Heaven’s Witness: The Revelation of Who Yahshua Is

John begins with the heavenly witness: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. These three bear record in heaven, and “these three are one.” Heaven’s testimony concerns identity. It reveals who Yahshua truly is.

The Father is the invisible, eternal Spirit—the One whom no man hath seen at any time. The Word is Yahweh expressed, Yahweh made visible, Yahweh speaking Himself into flesh. The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of truth proceeding from the Father, the same Spirit who overshadowed Mary, the same Spirit who descended upon Yahshua at the Jordan, the same Spirit who raised Him from the dead.

These three are one. This is heaven’s declaration: Yahshua is Yahweh revealed.

This is why His Name is not incidental. The Name Yahshua means “Yahweh is the Savior.” To believe in His Name is to believe the heavenly witness—that the Father was in the Son, reconciling the world unto Himself. Condemnation, John says, comes upon those who “believe not in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:18). The Name itself carries the message of who He is. Heaven testifies that Yahweh has come in the flesh, and the Name Yahshua is the banner of that revelation.

Earth’s Witness: The Revelation of What Yahshua Does in Us

John then turns to the earthly witness: the Spirit, the water, and the blood. These three “agree in one.” Earth’s testimony concerns experience. It reveals what Yahshua accomplishes within the believer.

The first earthly witness is the Spirit. This is the same Spirit the Father sends in the Son’s Name (John 14:26). The Spirit enters those who believe the heavenly testimony. He is the inward confirmation that Yahshua is Yahweh. He is the Comforter, the Teacher, the One who brings all things to remembrance. He is the abiding presence of God within the believer.

The second earthly witness is the water. Yahshua said, “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you” (John 15:3). The water represents the cleansing, sanctifying, pruning work of the Word. It is the washing that prepares the branch to bear fruit. It is the continual purification that accompanies abiding.

The third earthly witness is the blood. The blood is the sacrificial life of Yahshua, the life that flows into the believer. “Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you” (John 6:53). The blood is union. It is participation in His life, His death, and His resurrection. It is the life of the Vine flowing into the branch.

Together, the Spirit, the water, and the blood testify that Yahweh now dwells in His people. Earth’s witness is the manifestation of heaven’s truth within human vessels.

The Convergence of the Two Witnesses in the Believer

Heaven declares who Yahshua is. Earth declares what Yahshua does. Heaven’s witness—Father, Word, Spirit—reveals the identity of the Savior. Earth’s witness—Spirit, water, blood—reveals the indwelling of that Savior.

The believer stands at the intersection of these two testimonies. To believe the Name Yahshua is to receive the heavenly witness. To receive the Spirit is to receive the earthly witness. To abide in Him is to experience the agreement of water and blood. To bear fruit is to manifest the life of Yahweh within.

This is why Yahshua said: “He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit.” (John 15:5) Fruit is not human achievement. It is the earthly witness of the heavenly truth. It is the visible evidence that the Spirit, the water, and the blood are at work within the believer. It is the manifestation of Yahweh’s life in a human soul.

The Unified Testimony: Yahweh Revealed and Yahweh Indwelling

When the heavenly witness is believed, the earthly witness begins its work. The Name reveals Yahweh as Savior. The Spirit enters to confirm that Name. The water cleanses the branch. The blood supplies the life. The abiding produces fruit.

This is the agreement of the two witnesses. This is the testimony God has placed in the believer. This is the life of Yahshua made manifest in His people.

Heaven testifies to His identity. Earth testifies to His indwelling. Together they declare one truth:Yahweh has come, Yahweh abides, and Yahweh bears fruit in those who believe His Name.

The Father’s Will: None Lost, All Raised

 What, exactly, is the Father’s will for His people?

Christ Himself answered it—not with riddles, but with a promise so staggering that it redefines the entire purpose of our existence. According to Christ’s own words, the Father’s will is this: All whom He has given to the Son shall believe; they shall not be lost, and shall be raised up at the last day. Our resurrection is not a possibility—it is the guaranteed outcome of the Father’s eternal desire, which is His will.

Christ declared that His flesh—His real, physical body—would be offered as the one sacrifice that takes away the sin of the world. To believe this is to “eat the true bread from heaven” (John 6:32). He said plainly, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world” (John 6:51).

But Christ did not stop at explaining the sacrifice. He revealed the very heartbeat of the Father: “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me” (John 6:38). And then He defined that will with precision: “This is the Father’s will… that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day” (v. 39).

Two truths stand out. First, the Father gives certain people to the Son. These are not random souls drifting toward belief. They are the elect—those foreknown, chosen, and destined to behold the mystery—that Yahweh Himself dwelt in the Son and offered that body on Calvary. Second, the Father’s will cannot fail. Christ will “lose nothing.” Every son and daughter given to Him will be raised incorruptible (1 Corinthians 15:52).

For two thousand years, these chosen ones have carried the testimony of Christ. And in the final generation, Scripture hints at a company who will walk in unprecedented power—those who will “do greater works” (John 14:12). Revelation speaks of 144,000 sealed servants who follow the Lamb and proclaim His Kingdom with authority. Their works will not surpass Christ in essence, but in scope—because He will be working through a multiplied body.

Christ repeated the Father’s will again for emphasis: “Everyone which sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:40). To “see” the Son is to perceive Him as Scripture reveals Him—Yahweh manifested in flesh, the fullness of the Godhead dwelling bodily (Colossians 2:9).

Our part is simple, yet profound: believe. Believe that Yahweh came in human form. Believe that His name—Yahshua, “Yahweh is salvation”—contains the promise of eternal life. Believe that His sacrifice is sufficient. When we believe, He performs the Father’s will through us.

Christ said, “My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work” (John 4:34). That work is the gathering, preserving, and resurrecting of every soul the Father has given Him. He will finish it. He will lose none. He will raise them up.

And we—His body—are called to eat that same heavenly purpose. To align with His mission. To walk as vessels through whom He completes the Father’s will in the earth. The Father’s will is not vague, hidden, or uncertain. It is resurrection. It is transformation. It is the raising up of a people conformed to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). And Christ Himself guarantees the outcome: “I should lose nothing.”     Kenneth Wayne Hancock
