Is God the I AM, the I WAS, or the I WILL BE?
Greetings in the wonderful Name of our Lord Jesus Christ and welcome to Bible Believers. It's a privilege to worship with you and exciting to know there are still sincere souls hungering and thirsting after righteousness.
Today we'll examine what constitutes faith and what constitutes sin, then apply the lesson to our individual experience and attitude to the greatest revelation of all - the supreme deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. Too many church people imagine God is an easy-come, easy-go sort of Guy Who loves us all so much He's not too fussed how we understand Him, and whether our lives reflect the WORD or the world. According to the Bible He's a God of His WORD, a strict God Who from the beginning made clear He requires man to live by His Word, and EVERY Word. We need to be earnest in our desire to understand His requirements and to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.
Jesus commanded His Church to "Walk in the Light He is IN and keep watching for more Light to unfold." Spiritual Light is revelation of the Word or Will of God. Unless our lives are the manifestation of the Word God is fulfilling in THIS age, we are NOT "under the blood of Christ," NOT born again. God can't make "written epistles" today by the Word He fulfilled yesterday in the ages of the Luther, Wesley, and even the Pentecostals (so-called), any more than the press can sell yesterday's news (I John 1:7.)
Few Bible readers have any conception what God's Bible promises for today. It is later than most dare imagine. The faith God required of father or grandma will not place us into the Body of Christ today. This is another age, God is fulfilling a different part of His Word. We can't be born again by impersonating the Light of a day gone by and must search the Scriptures to ensure our lives are the manifestation of what His Word promised He would do NOW.
Let's cast our thoughts back to the first "Good Friday." As they had for 1,500 years, those Jewish ministers offered to God the morning sacrifice and oblation. This spoke of Messiah. I imagine He smiled upon them and thought, "That's My People, faithfully fulfilling My Commandments and the ordinances delivered by Moses My prophet." But in the EVENING TIME, at the END of that Message, when they offered another lamb, God's anger rose in His nostrils. He rejected the ministers with their offering, and all who offered the lamb thereafter were blotted from the Book of Life (Psalm 69:28.)
Those people were sincere, their ministers would be stoned for not obeying the ordinances to the letter. How could God refuse them? God's reason for rejecting their sincere worship is the same as His reason for rejecting sincere worshipers today. THEIR SINCERE WORSHIP WAS IN VAIN BECAUSE THEY WERE SINCERELY WRONG (Matthew 15:9; Revelation 3:17.) Without faith they were NOT walking in the light AS He was in It, they were impersonators and NOT His people (I John 1:7; John 10:5.)
WHAT WAS LIFE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE MORNING BECAME SIN THE SAME EVENING. They failed to recognize the Light of the hour, God was doing a new thing. They were walking with their hand in the hand of their minister, trusting their denomination instead of knowing God by faith in His Word.
Surely today, Israel are the most religious people. They love the One True God, read his Word, attend worship, obey the Law, and millions have died for their beliefs. But they failed to KEEP walking in the Light; and by impersonating a bygone age, have been APOSTATE for 2,000 years. THESE THINGS ARE FOR OUR EXAMPLE, AND WARNING THAT GOD ALSO CONCLUDES THE GENTILE CHURCHES IN APOSTASY. Like Israel, they fail to recognize THEIR day and ITS Message. Don't expect the great revivals predicted by today's blind leaders of the blind. The only revival is in the heart of the Bride. Look for apostasy! "For when they shall say, 'Peace and safety;' then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape" (I Thessalonians 4:13-5:14; Romans 11:32.) So let's examine ourselves, whether we are in the faith, or impersonating an age gone by.
During the Church Ages the Bible was sealed with Seven Seals. As a Mediator, Christ interceded for the saints' ignorance of the faith - lost when the saints of the Dark Ages were martyred. He overlooked their errors as the Protestant Reformation of the Roman Catholic system of worship progressed to greater Light. Yet to be born again the saints of each age had to walk in ALL the Light revealed to their age: Justification by grace through faith in the age of Luther; Sanctification ADDED to that in the age of Wesley; with the Baptism of the Spirit or restoration of the Gifts ADDED to them in Laodicea (or Pentecost). Denominations followed these moves of God, organized to preserve and foster the Light revealed to their founders. But faith and the Holy Spirit cannot be institutionalized. Without exception, these man-made systems have each refused to receive the further Light God revealed in succeeding ages.
Like their predecessors who protested, "We are Moses' disciples," ALL denominations love the historical Jesus, but they hate Christ, the revealed Word of the hour, because It condemns them. To refuse the revealed Truth is sin. During the Church Ages Christ interceded for ignorance of a faith which had been lost, NOT for iniquity and unbelief in the revealed Word.
The "Reformation" was NOT the promised restoration. The reformers sought a return only to the beliefs of the Roman Catholic church summarized in the FALSE "Apostles' Creed" which was written after the First Nicea Council in AD 325. These teachings cannot be found in your Bible! God's ORIGINAL Church with the ORIGINAL faith was founded at Pentecost and is the only pattern God can restore. The Protestant churches all came out of Rome, and truly are her daughters as the Bible says. They were called "Protestant" because historically they protested the evil teachings of Romanism. Today they protest nothing and are all hand-in-glove with mother Rome.
When the Seven Seals were revealed at the END of the Church Ages, and "the mystery of God was finished," the denominations rejected the Fullness of the Word. All seven Church Ages are over. The denominations cannot be restored and are NOT under the blood. Naked, wretched, miserable, and blind: like Israel they're APOSTATE and don't know it (I Corinthians 13:10; Revelation 3:14-20; 4 & 5; 10:1-7; 18:1-4.) Christ IS the Mystery of God revealed. The Church is the Mystery of Christ revealed. Christ is the beginning of the creation of God. The true Church is the continuation of the SAME Creation.
The Bible is the story of God changing His FORM or unfolding Himself, from the Eternal Spirit alone with His thoughts, through the spoken Word, to the flesh of those thoughts in the FORM OF HIS FAMILY. In other words, It is the story of God the Creator unfolding Himself into Creation. Jesus Christ is the beginning of the creation of God.
Before there was any time, before there were atoms or molecules, planets or stars; light, dark, angels or beings of any description .... before God was God ... sounds strange ... but the word "god" means "object of worship" and until creation, there was nothing to worship Him... He was just the Eternal Spirit alone with His thoughts.
God's thoughts are not like your thoughts or my thoughts. We might have great plans for tomorrow, but if we forget about them until the day after, they were just a fantasy. God's thoughts are Eternal. They are real and will come to pass in their designated decreed season and time. Unlike man God is not now learning or even taking counsel with Himself. His ideas He has always had. Being omniscient He cannot add to His knowledge, and will never have a new idea. That's straight Bible Truth, isn't it?
A Christian needs to understand these things. There is only ONE Eternal - the Great Creator God. As His thoughts are Eternal and real, they are the attributes of What He IS. God IS His THOUGHTS.
In Him were attributes to be a Father, but how would it ever be known until He had His first son, Adam? In God were attributes to be a Savior, but He could not display these attributes until first there was a "fall" and a people requiring salvation.
His attribute of justice would not allow Him to cause His children to fall or force them, like puppets, to obey His Will. So He placed them in the Garden on free moral agency, to make their own choices: to reflect His attributes of love and trust by obedient faith, or MIX the Word with Lucifer's reason.
In God were attributes to be `Healer', but He could not display them until there was sickness and hurt. How God loves to display His attributes to us and through us, to His own glory!
Like Adam and Eve, we are to reflect the Nature and Character of God by identifying with His attributes. True worship is a life lived under preeminence to the Word. He gathers glory to Himself when His glorious attributes are reproduced in the lives of His Children. Like Father, like son, a chip off the old Block.
No one is born with character. Character is a victory gained by overcoming in the trials of this ungodly world through faith in the Word of God and prayer. Our goal in this life is to gain a Christ-like character through trial. No matter how successful we are on earth, the only thing we can take with us is our character. Death in the flesh only changes your geography. The type of person you are HERE is the type of person you will be over "There," or will it be over.... "there." Have you ever considered that one of the most remarkable differences between man and animals is man's ability to reason, and to communicate our thoughts through language. Any word is a thought expressed. Before I can pronounce the word "cat", I must first think of the animal, cat. We have fellowship and know one another chiefly through expressing our thoughts in WORD form. Without communication there is no meaningful relationship.
Because His thoughts are Eternal and cannot change or fail, God is known as "the Word," or "Logos," which is Greek meaning, "thought in speech," or concept.
God expresses His Will and the attributes of His character to man in WORD form by vision, dream, or inspired understanding of the Word we read and hear preached from the Bible. We only experience a relationship with God as we understand His Word and no true believer is any stronger and spiritually healthy and alive than their knowledge of and adherence to the pure Word of God.
A WORD is a THOUGHT EXPRESSED and Jesus of Nazareth is the Word manifest in flesh, GOD with us, as prophesied (I Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 7:14.) Good people frequently misinterpret John 1:1,14. They think it reads, "In the beginning was Jesus of Nazareth, and Jesus was with God, and Jesus was God, and Jesus was made flesh..."
In fact it says, "In the beginning was the Word," or, "God had FINISHED all of His thinking BEFORE "time," or "in the beginning." A Word is FIRST a COMPLETED thought: as His thoughts are Eternal and UNCHANGING, He was "the Word" or "Logos" when He was READY to commence expressing them in Creation.
"And the Word was with God and the Word was God." That is, the Word, Logos or concept was ALWAYS with God in the FORM of His ETERNAL THOUGHTS, and His thoughts, which are Word in another FORM is what God IS." John 6:63 says "My Word is Spirit, It is Life" - Word and Spirit are the SAME thing in a different FORM.
"And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us" - "without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness for the Word or Logos was manifest in the FORM of the flesh of Jesus, our KINSMAN Redeemer, and is the beginning of God creating Himself into material form ... LESS than 2,000 years ago, when He physically dwelled among His early disciples" (I Timothy 3:16.)
In Jesus the fullness of God's nature and character, the perfect balance of His attributes of love, patience, justice, judgment, righteousness or anger, are expressed in one Man Who is the beginning of the creation of God (Revelation 3:14.) He's NOT the beginning of God's creation - which would make Him less than God. God's creation is His `handiwork' - the sun, moon, stars, rivers and trees. Jesus is the BEGINNING, less than 2,000 years ago, of God changing HIMSELF from the Eternal Spirit alone with His thoughts, through the Word or expression of those thoughts, to the material flesh of His Family, God's `hands'.
The New Testament saints are the CONTINUATION of the SAME Creation. Jesus is the Word made flesh and the true or Elect Church is the flesh becoming Word. In the new heavens and new earth, the saved will worship God through Eternity in the form of His Family - Jesus of Nazareth and His Brothers and Sisters, the New Testament saints. When they are glorified, all of them is God manifest in flesh. Like our natural parents, God's PURPOSE was to REPRODUCE Himself in the glorified flesh of His Family.
Three is the number of perfection, and God fulfills His purpose in a three-fold manner. The Fullness of His Life was reproduced in Jesus Christ; the Fullness of Christ is being reproduced in His Bride, and together they will return to a restored Eden in the fullness of perfect joy and purity.
Jesus prayed for ONENESS through faith or AGREEMENT in the Word for Eternal fellowship (John 17:20-26; Amos 3:3.) Once God was alone with His thoughts ... now He'll never be lonely any more.
How is God bringing His PURPOSE to pass? Through FAITH which is communion with Him by receiving His thoughts or Word. Communion is an exchange of intimate talk and requires AGREEMENT between the parties. (The Lord's Supper symbolizes the communicant is born again and consequently in ONENESS through their Marriage Union with the Word. We must discern whether we are truly Married, or just flirting with God. That's why Paul said it's death to observe the Lord's Supper incorrectly, and it's death not to take it.) Often our communion with God is all one way: prayer, where man does all the talking. With Faith, man also listens and understands what God is saying.
FAITH IS A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE REVEALED WORD OF GOD.
Let's take a look at what the Bible says about faith. May God bless each of you with grace for understanding and humility to obey what He reveals to you is my prayer.
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, For by it the elders obtained a good report" (Hebrews 11:1-2.) In chapter eleven of his letter to the Hebrew Christians, Paul's reference to faith as the characteristic of the true people of God, leads him to confirm in detail how that in every age, God's purpose was framed by faith. Recalling the general law of God's dealings in the victorious lives of notable saints of past dispensations, he traces the spiritual history of the world through the righteous line from Abel across the flood to Abraham, Israel and the Maccabees, declaring how these victorious saints could not be made perfect until their Kinsman Redeemer had died for His Bride.
Contrary to popular understanding, Hebrews 11:1 is NOT meant as a definition of faith but to affirm the reality of faith and bring out two specific characteristics of faith which bear upon his argument: (a) its OBJECT, and (b) its OFFICE.
(a) The OBJECT of faith is essentially the future and the unseen which cannot be contacted by physical experience - "things hoped for," and "objects not seen" - which includes all that belongs to redemption, and the present government of God.
(b) The office of faith is described by coordinating "substance" and "evidence," or "test" - it is proof, a genuine revelation from God which establishes the reality of the unseen.
It is in virtue of faith that things hoped for are now, so faith is their essence or substance in regard to he actual experience of the believer. By faith the future and the unseen can be made real for men. Things unseen are not mere arbitrary fancies: faith tries them, tests them, and brings conviction as to their being. The spiritual history of man is taken as proof of the power faith possesses to test and realize the unseen. By realizing the future and apprehending the unseen in the atmosphere of faith the inspired lives of the elders bore witness to their faith.
FAITH IS A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE REVEALED WORD OF GOD. For example: The certainty of Abel's faith consisted in a CLEAR UNDERSTANDING of the original sin which caused man to be separated from Eternity, and require an atonement to enable redemption and renewed fellowship with God. Abel knew life had to be given for Life. Eve's relationship with the Serpent brought death in the bastard Cain, for whom there was NO atonement. By REVELATION, Abel knew he was a son of God, and offered the substitutionary life of an innocent lamb which spoke of the coming Messiah, Who through the virgin birth, could not have original sin imputed to him. Thus He was a sacrifice, without spot or blemish, and acceptable to God.
Abel's sacrifice was the evidence of his righteousness, the true connection to God is our faith. God bore witness to Adam by receiving his faith. The divine vindication is further seen in that God rejected Cain's sacrifice and instructed him to enquire of his prophet stepbrother. If he received and obeyed, he too would be accepted. With reluctance, Abel acceded to his persistent demands, sharing the revelation. Cain recognized he was neither Adam's first-born nor in the genealogy. Realizing that the lamb represented a Kinsman for Adam's race, that he was without an atonement, and therefore not redeemable, Cain sought to gain the WORLD, Abel's NATURAL inheritance, by slaying his step-brother, thus forcing God's hand.
Abel's sacrifice was vindicated by God testifying of his faith, whereby he still speaks, his works bearing witness of him. Works is faith expressed.
In a corrupt age, Enoch maintained fellowship with God. Through agreement with Him, in the "ONENESS" of faith, he "walked with God." Faith was the ground of his translation - and faith will be the sole basis upon which the living saints will be translated at the end of this corrupt age (Amos 3:3; Genesis 5:22,24.)
Jesus prayed in Gethsemane that His Church would be one with God by faith - or in agreement by understanding His Word. In the end-time, when Christ's mediatorial office was fulfilled, after all of the saints predestinated to the Church Age part of the Body were redeemed, Jesus promised to restore "the" faith delivered to the apostolic fathers. Thus like Enoch, WITHOUT a Mediator, a Word-Bride would come into the unity of the faith in answer to his prayer, for the manifestation of the sons of God and the translation (John 17:20-26; 10:1-5; I Corinthians 1:10; 13:10; Matthew 17:11; Malachi 4:5-6; Ephesians 4:13-16.)
We need to recognize there is only ONE Lord. And there can only ever be ONE faith, or understanding of His Word, for God is not author of confusion. He guides into ALL Truth and establishes peace in the heart of His Bride by revealing beforehand, the things He will bring to pass in their generation. He reserved a space of time AFTER the Church Ages, it is just prior to the translation, in which His Children would unite. Not in a man-made union of organizations, but by supernatural faith in the Body of Christ which is not divided. (Genesis 49:10; I Thessalonians 4:13-17; II Thessalonians 2:1-12; Revelation 18:1-4.)
Enoch is a type of the Church in the end-time who will not see death. One man separated out of the seventh generation from the first Adam, under such preeminence to the revealed Word, he passed beyond this dimension. Out of Laodicea, the seventh generation from the second Adam, Christ is separating a Word Bride Who will be under such preeminence what She speaks God will do in the manifestation of the sons of God (John 5:19.) Glory!
We shall paraphrase Matthew 16:13-20 and apply it to our faith:
"Jesus asked His disciples, 'Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?' 'Some say You're John the Baptist with his head back on; some (misinterpret Malachi 4) and imagine you to be the Elijah promised before the Tribulation and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets returned from the grave.'
But this was all guesswork and not faith, so Jesus asked His disciples, 'Whom do YOU say that I Am?'
Simon Peter answered and said, 'You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.'
Jesus answered and said, 'Bless you Simon, son of Jonah: because flesh and blood - books, Bible school, learning - man has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in heaven has revealed it to you and on this rock of REVELATION OF THE WORD I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against spiritual revelation of the Word, or faith. Furthermore, Peter, you have the keys (or faith) which open the kingdom of heaven, which is the new birth...'"
On the day of Pentecost the Church or Kingdom of Heaven was inaugurated and Peter addressed Jews who had gathered from throughout the Roman Empire to observe the Passover and Feast of Pentecost in Jerusalem. He proved by the Scripture God had made that same Jesus whom Israel had crucified both Lord and Messiah. Catching the revelation, they cried in desperation, "Men and brethren, what must we do to be saved?" Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized every one of you, whosoever the Lord has called, in the Name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST for the remission of your sins and you shall be born again" - and unlocked the Kingdom to those Jews.
IF you and I are called, It will by the SAME Command. God will unlock the Kingdom to us by a strange baptism in Titles. If that's what you imagine, you've never been called to at all.
Peter had the revelation LORD JESUS CHRIST is the NAME (singular) of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. God has only one compound redemptive Name - there is no other name given among men whereby we must be saved. There is no scripture commanding baptism for remission of past sins in three Titles.
But in Matthew's account Jesus says to "baptize in the Name of the Father, and of the son, and of the Holy Ghost?" True, and the NAME of the Father IS Lord Jesus Christ (John 5:43,) the NAME of the Holy Ghost is Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:15-26), and if you are not baptized in the NAME of the Lord Jesus Christ you have not been baptized in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Isaiah 9:6 said, His Name shall be CALLED "Wonderful Counselor (the HOLY GHOST, the Everlasting FATHER, the Prince of Peace (or SON)," and the Name (singular) to which these three Titles pertain is Lord Jesus Christ. In Luke's account Jesus says, "that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations..." (Luke 24:49.) Jesus' Name is not Father, Son, or Holy Ghost.
Nowhere in the pages of the Bible was anyone ever baptized in these three Titles - or in any historical record - until the organization of the Roman Catholic church at the First Nicea Council in AD 325. According to history, the few Christian ministers who traveled to Nicea left before it started, when they were unable to persuade the followers of the heretics, Athanasius and Arius, to repent and return to the Word. It was the Word Which bled and died for me on Calvary, not a Roman creed. Remission of sins is through FAITH in the Word: Who Jesus IS. What God the Bible says, NOT speculations by church organizations (Acts 2:38-39; 4:12; Romans 3:4; Galatians 1:8-9; Colossians 3:17; I Peter 3:21.)
Jesus thanked God "the faith" was hidden from the wise and prudent and revealed unto babes as will learn. If God were known by learning the dead letter of the written Word, the wealthy and better educated would have a monopoly on the Kingdom. He'd have to remit the sins of theologians, and the privileged on the basis of learning (or WORKS), and convert them. But "not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called" (Matthew 11:25-29; 13:10-17; I Corinthians 1:26-29.)
FAITH IS A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE REVEALED WORD. So what is SIN? To start with, Sin is NOT smoking, drinking, adultery, murder, lying, theft, etc., any more than FAITH is love, joy, goodness, kindness, etc., These are the attributes or product of a life of sin or faith. People lie, cheat and steal because they ARE sinners. SIN is one thing and one thing only. SIN IS UNBELIEF IN THE REVEALED WORD OF GOD.
It is possible to follow the "letter" of the Bible and be as lost in SIN or UNBELIEF IN THE REVEALED WORD today as it was in Israel. For the Word is a stumbling stone, condemning those who are religious but not spiritual, just as it condemns outright rejecters. The carnally minded are enmity with God. Caiaphas and the ministers of Jesus' day crucified the very God they claimed to serve because they said He was breaking His Own Word (John 7:23; Romans 8:7; 9:32.) Imagine a minister LOST in SIN! Those same spirits are behind the pulpit today, crucifying unto themselves the Son of God afresh, rejecting Him because He disagrees with their carnal man-made theology. IF they repent, their organization would kick them out, they'd lose their superannuation and popularity with their sin-loving congregation (II Corinthians 11:13-15.)
That's true, and you know it is. The Bible and church history declare it, and you can prove it by applying the Word test - first to yourself! It sure cuts like a sharp twoedged Sword.
In Hebrews 3:12 - 4:11, both Moses and Paul define sin as unbelief in the revealed Word. The wages of sin is eternal separation from the Presence of God, for although nearly three million Israelites followed Moses out of Egypt, only two of the adults entered the Promised land. They were ALL justified by faith and baptized in the Red Sea, sanctified in the Wilderness, partook of the miracles and tasted the fruit of the Land. Yet Jesus said, "every one of them is LOST!" (I Corinthians 10; John 6:45.)
Paul said, "TODAY if you will hear His Voice and recognize your error, harden not your hearts, as in the Wilderness." If YOU recognize you have been worshiping falsely and baptized with a FALSE baptism don't harden your heart. Don't think He will let you go in on your terms or imagine you are a Christian, (or born again), because of church ritual, if you refuse to be rebaptized in His Name. "... he that believeth not is condemned already because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God" (John 3:18; James 4:17.) Jesus said those who refuse correction by the Word are bastards, like Cain. So did Paul. No matter how loudly they protest their Christianity, their actions prove their Father is NOT God (John 8:41; Hebrews 12:5-8.)
If YOU have studied carefully and prayerfully you will see what Jesus meant when He instructed us to walk in the Light as He is in the Light. Moses, Paul, Luther, Wesley, Spurgeon, Knox - all great servants of the Lord did just that. He's the I Am, NOT the I Was or the I Will Be. What was Light and Life for the saints of one age is carnal impersonation, even death in subsequent ages. Jesus expressly stated the Life in the Word is purposely hidden from those without a personal relationship - faith. As God sent natural Israel fresh Manna EVERY day; nothing is to be carried over of the Spiritual Food for one Church Age to the next Age.
The Word of God is not a thing to play with or take lightly. These things are preached in love and by the Authority of the LORD JESUS CHRIST to those who can receive them. We've touched many important revelations I trust God will unfold personally to you through subsequent services and in your study and prayer. Today we've sought chiefly to declare what FAITH and SIN are according to God's Word, and the true Oneness of the Godhead - away from Trinitarian, Unitarian, and "Jesus only" doctrines.
We will do well to remember God's Word comes only through His vindicated prophets and no prophet of God could ever teach such error. So much of our religious teaching can be traced to the First Nicea Council and the Dark Ages it presaged. This is just contrary to God's Bible which cannot contradict Itself and is of no private interpretation. Faith is ABSOLUTE and can never change, and runs in continuity from Genesis to Revelation. May God richly Bless you all as you obey His Word. Please confirm these things with your Bible, not with your husband, your wife, your minister or the lady next door. Once YOU have the REVELATION be sure to transmit, fax, or pass a printout to someone else (Acts 17:11; I Thessalonians 5:21.) I admonish all who have caught the revelation Who the Lord Jesus IS, to repent and be rebaptized by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, expecting the Promise of the Holy Spirit or New Birth. bb920108.htm
