The Following Message Has Been Transcribed And Edited For
Clarity, Continuity Of Thought, And Punctuation By
The CCK Transcribing & Editing Team.
When I am working on a translation of a series of Scriptures, I try very hard not to translate just one Scripture per message, because every Scripture is modified by all of the Scriptures before it and around it and after it. I usually translate three Scriptures to one message, and that is pretty much what I have been doing here. What I find when I go into the next three Scriptures, frequently modifies what I learned the night before.
Even yesterday as I was preaching, the Lord was speaking to me concerning the alabaster statue so I have modified the alternate translation verses. I do not think Mary came with a statue; I think the spirit in the statue sent her on an assignment to curse Jesus, and that is what the loud wailing was. She was wailing the curse.
The Lord has given me a ministry to bring forth the spiritual understanding of the Scriptures and I really want to explain to you the way He moves upon me with this very unique ministry that He has given me. As I translate additional verses of a passage the understanding of the subsequent paragraphs modify my translations of the earlier paragraphs. Ideally I would like to translate a whole chapter at a time but I cannot always do that.
Tonight, I have translated Luke 7, verses, 44-47. (I think that starts on page eleven. You will see where it says, alternate translation work up, and these are three verses under the section identified as secondary verses).
Let me just remind you of what we are doing. We are taking a look at the account of the woman with the alabaster box. We are looking at the four accounts of that situation in Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, and we are going to synchronize the Scriptures and try to put all of the information together as to what happened concerning this alabaster box and this woman. We are going to try to discover who was present at the Pharisee’s house. We already know that the Pharisee’s name is Simon, and that Simon was a leper.
I have identified certain passages of each account of the woman with the alabaster box that seem to have counterparts in each of the four gospels. I have done that, and I have made a color coded chart which you should have. But then when I started to look at it, I felt that we needed to look in each case of the four gospels. I decided that we really need to look at the Scriptures and at the passage to really understand what is going on here.
The first night we wound up translating verses that had nothing to do with the woman with the alabaster box, but we got some interesting translations and understanding about John the Baptist and who he is and what Jesus was talking about when He said to the crowd, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see?”
At the last meeting, we actually took a look at and translated the verses of this account of the woman with the alabaster statue in Luke 7, and we now know it is a statue and not a box.
Tonight I am going to do an exhortation on the subsequent verses. I have only translated three of them, but we are going to do an exhortation on all of the subsequent verses through the end of Luke chapter 7, and the first three verses in Luke chapter 8. We are going to have a whole well rounded idea of what is going on in Luke 7 concerning this issue.
What I would like to do before I start is read you the revised alternate translation. This is my usual practice, as it gives you some ammunition to know where I am coming from when I start pulling the Greek words apart. We have an alternate translation of Luke 7:36-39, and then 44-46. The asterisks at the bottom of page 1, after verse 39, show it is the end of the first passage; we then move on to verse 44.
Luke 7, Verses 36-39, Alternate Translation
36 And Simon, one of the Pharisees, desired to interrogate Jesus to the end that he might acquire a knowledge of Jesus’ spiritual philosophy. So the Pharisee invited Jesus to his home for a meal, but Jesus went to join Himself to Simon’s spiritual household.
37 And behold, a woman who abode in spiritual Babylon, the sinner’s city, knew that Jesus was eating at Simon the Pharisee’s home, and the spirit in the alabaster statue that she burned incense to, brought her there to curse Jesus.
38 And Satan, the unconscious part of the woman’s carnal mind, was causing her to wail loudly, but Jesus stood against Satan, and Jesus’ tears of compassion opposed Satan’s spiritual moisture which permeated Leviathan, the scalp/Keter of the serpent, Satan’s head, and the spiritual power of Jesus’ tears of compassion squeezed Satan out of Leviathan, the scalp of the Serpent, the head of the carnal mind that the woman became attached to, when she burnt incense to Satan to acquire the Serpent’s anointing.
39 Now Simon the Pharisee which had invited Jesus to teach him, answered his own question rather than ask Jesus, his teacher, saying if this man, Jesus, were a true prophet, he would have recognized by Jehovah’s Spirit, what kind of woman he was joining Himself to, because she is a sinner, steeped in witchcraft.
I shall now make my comments. Let us begin with verse 36, And Simon, one of the Pharisees, desired to interrogate Jesus to the end that he might acquire a knowledge of Jesus’ spiritual philosophy. So the Pharisee invited Jesus to his home for a meal, but Jesus went to join Himself to Simon’s spiritual household.
Jesus accepted the invitation to Simon’s home for a different reason than the reason for which he was invited. Jesus was out there looking to join himself to spiritual people who the Lord was apprehending for the kingdom of God, and that is what we are supposed to be doing if we are spiritual Christians.
Spiritual Christians do not necessarily go out looking to introduce people to Christ so that they can feel self-satisfied. This is pride, which is immaturity. I am never condemning anybody when I point out problems or conditions or situations in the Church. Jesus said that the truth would set us free. The Church, at least the fundamental Church, is filled with pride, which is immaturity, and they think what they are supposed to do is give tracts to everybody and get them to answer an altar call because they are afraid of going to hell. If that is what they are doing at this time, we are to leave them alone.
I am talking about us, spiritual Christians, what we should not be doing. I believe that Jesus taught by contrasts, so I am telling you what we are not supposed to be doing. If the Lord tells you to give somebody a tract, by all means you should do it, but it should not be your driving force. When you are a spiritual Christian and Christ is grafted to you or in the process of being grafted to you, you become a minister to Christ. Your primary spiritual focus in life is to minister to the Christ that is growing in you. The scriptural name for you, whether you are a physical man or a physical woman, is midwife.
We become the personalities, the human beings that are helping Christ to be born in us. Christ is the spiritual child, the man-child that will save our soul when He is born, but we have to bear Him. We have to give birth to a spiritual man. When he is born in us, He will not leave us as in human birth, but He will abide within us forever, and impart immortality to us. When the servant is in the house, the house does not last forever, but when the Son is in the house, the house enters into immortality, and that is what Jesus was talking about in John 8:35, And the servant abideth not in the house forever; but the Son abideth ever, if you can understand what He was talking about. That is what He meant.
Salvation is accomplished in us when the spiritual man, Christ, is regenerated in us, and His immortality extends to our soul, which is our personality. That is what salvation is. Christians who do not have Christ do whatever they can do, and I am sure that giving out tracts helps a lot of people. There are many important activities that Christians who have not formed Christ can do. I am not in any way criticizing them.
However, I am telling you, or whoever is listening to this tape, that if Christ is being formed in you, it is time to stop doing that. When I was a child, I did what a child did, but now that I am a grown spiritual man, I do what a spiritual man does. A spiritual man ministers to the rising Christ within the personality.
Christ Jesus fully intends to appear in a people that will not die. He wants a permanent manifestation of Himself in the earth. He does not want to see His people whom He has trained for 20, 40, 70, years into obedience, die, and then He has to start again with some young person. That is not an ideal situation and it is not the will of God.
I did not expect to exhort you on this, but I guess that is what I am going to be doing. We see that Jesus accepted Simon’s invitation, but He had an ulterior motive. I was trained to think that having ulterior motives was ungodly. Now I know that Christ Jesus has a lot of ulterior motives, but the root of His ulterior motive is righteousness. Therefore, no matter what it looks like on the outside, it is not sin.
The Lord has sent me to a lot of places where I have not told anybody who I am or where I am from. Sometimes you just have to learn to be quiet. You cannot tell everybody everything; some people get offended. I have gone there for motives unknown to the other people. I have been invited, and have gone there knowing that the only reason I was going was because I felt that the Lord was sending me. I have accepted invitations to people’s homes and have gone because I was on a mission; otherwise I would have never gone.
If you do not understand what I am doing, you might say I was using that person, but I was not. I was there for a reason, whatever that reason might have been. Jesus accepted Simon’s invitation but not for the reason that Simon thought he was accepting it. This might be hurtful to someone who does not understand; to think that the person you invited to dinner just said yes because they thought they were on assignment from God, and they really would not be going to your house for dinner otherwise. Personally I do not think that it is an insult, but most people would be offended by that, simply because we are thinking on two different levels. Our mind is in two different worlds.
I go on such assignments frequently. From there, because I am on assignment, then the Lord may bless you, or He wants to bless your house or somebody in your family or somebody else that will be at your home. It is a great honor to be called to this ministry, and when I say ministry, I do not really mean Living Epistles, I mean this level of spiritual ministry that we are all being initiated into.
Verse 37, And behold, a woman who abode in spiritual Babylon, that is, across the river from the Holy Jerusalem, that is the city or the person who is in their carnal mind, a woman who abode in spiritual Babylon, it means spiritual idolatry, the sinner’s city, knew that Jesus was eating at Simon the Pharisee’s home, and the spirit in the alabaster statue that she burned incense to, brought her there to curse Jesus.
Did she hear a voice in her head saying, “Jesus is there, I want you to go there and curse Him”? I do not think so, I do not think so. I think that she was moved by the spirit. Maybe it was the spirit in her that knew He was there. Maybe she had some inkling of it, but I think that she was moved by the spirit. Even if she knew that He was there, I do not think that she went there with a word in her head saying, “I want you to go there and curse that man,” although it is possible. We discussed this yesterday.
We said that the old man in her was very spiritually high. She was as high as where Moses had been, so I guess that is a possibility. We do not know, and unless the Lord tells us, we will not know. I know that it is not at all uncommon for highly demonized people to gravitate towards me.
I was in Boca Raton in Florida, not too long ago, and when I go there I just really enjoy sitting in an outdoor café having a bagel. Two mornings in a row, this highly demonized woman approached me. She looked strange and she smelled so bad you could smell her when she was down the block. She came over the first day and asked if I wanted a newspaper that she had. I would not touch it; I was not about to touch anything that she had her hands on, so I said, “No, thank you.”
The second day she walked by again. I had been praying when she walked by and she asked me if I was okay. When I see a door open, I usually walk through, so I said, “No, I am fine. I was just praying.” I said, ”Do you know Jesus?” The terror that came into that woman’s eyes, I have seen it before. She was terrified, she drew back, and said, “Well, I pray to God,” and she walked away and never came back again.
Some spirit drew her to me, maybe it was the Spirit of Christ wanting to give her an opportunity for salvation, I do not know, but she was definitely drawn to me. Did she hear a voice in her head saying, “Go to that woman sitting there eating a bagel”? In this case, I do not think so.
In the case of the woman with the alabaster statue, either way is possible, because as Jesus speaks to us and sends us on assignment, Satan speaks to the people that she rules over and controls and sends on assignment. It could have been either way, it could have been either way, we just do not know.
Verse 38, And Satan, the unconscious part of the woman’s Carnal mind, was causing her to wail loudly, but Jesus stood against Satan, and Jesus’ tears of compassion opposed Satan’s spiritual moisture which permeated Leviathan, the scalp/Keter of the serpent,
I am going to leave it as scalp, flesh. We talked about that last night. When I put it in the alternate translation book I am going to take the Keter out.
….which permeated Leviathan, the scalp of the Serpent, Satan’s head, and the spiritual power of Jesus’ tears of compassion squeezed Satan out of Leviathan, the scalp of the Serpent, the head of the carnal mind that the woman became attached to, when she burnt incense to Satan to acquire the Serpent’s anointing.
That is a mouthful, there are several spiritual principles here that I would like to point out to you. And Satan the unconscious part of the woman’s carnal mind, was causing her to wail loudly, but Jesus stood against Satan, and Jesus’ tears of compassion opposed Satan’s spiritual moisture….
First of all, as I showed you on the board yesterday, Kabbalistically, the spiritual level that Jesus was at in the days of His flesh, was Binah. Binah is the lowest Sefirah of the upper triad. She is permanently attached to the other two Sefirot above her, and she is the spokesperson for them. The grades of God higher than Binah do not communicate with human beings. Binah is also known as Imma, mother. She is the spokesperson for the two higher grades above her.
The two higher grades above her do not communicate with human beings. Binah is the female, and above her is her husband, Chokmah, who she is permanently joined to. Chokmah is wisdom, and Binah is understanding. Binah is permanently joined to Chokmah and Chokmah is permanently joined to the Keter which is called the crown, the highest place.
The Ayn Sof, Almighty God, is so high that we cannot even identify Him, we do not even know who He is. His power flows into Keter, and we start with Keter to see some attributes with which we might describe God. Jesus was on the level of Binah, He was as high as a man could go in the flesh. Satan is in that position on the other side. There is God’s side and there is the other side. I usually call it the good and evil side. The Kabbalists just call it the other side. Maybe they are smarter than I am. Sometimes I get all confused on my own names, but I am trying to do it the way that the Lord wants me to do it.
We see that Jesus stood against Satan. Jesus met His match. The anointing on this woman was on the same level that Jesus was, but as I explained yesterday, Jesus also had the Father with Him. Jesus had the double portion. If Jesus did not have the double portion, it would have been an equal fight. This was not an equal fight. I mentioned this yesterday, we are not supposed to be fighting with anybody unless God sends us, then we have the double portion (if you do not have Christ, you should not be fighting with anybody). We only go when God sends us, then we have the double portion, and when He sends us, it is not a contest.
The boat may rock a little bit, and you may have some tough moments, but you have to go into the battle. If you are sure that the Lord has sent you, you must go into the battle knowing that you have the victory. It may not be right away, and the boat may rock a little, but the Lord sent you, and when the Lord sends you, as long as you continue to seek Him for instructions, you cannot fail. That is the mindset you are to go in with.
Even though this woman was on the same spiritual level as Jesus, she really was not on the same level as Jesus because His Father was with Him. He had the double portion.
This alternate translation says, Jesus’ tears of compassion opposed Satan’s spiritual moisture…. What this says to me at this point (and I really learn from these alternate translations), is that Jesus may not have cried physical tears. I really doubt that Jesus cried physical tears. I think it was in the meeting last night that I told you I did not know whether he did cry physical tears, but when I see something like this, Jesus’ spiritual tears stood strongly against Satan’s moisture, my opinion right now is that we are talking about a level of spiritual power.
The Holy Spirit is signified as water. I explained to you last night that Jesus did not have the Holy Spirit; He had the Spirit of Christ. He was anointed with the Holy Ghost. He was not baptized with the Holy Ghost. Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost. Jesus received the Holy Ghost in a higher form than the apostles did. The King James calls it the Holy Ghost; you can say Holy Ghost on a higher form if you want to. I try to make things as simple as I can, so I call the anointing on Jesus, the Spirit of Christ.
As long as you understand that His anointing was higher than the anointing on the apostles, it is okay. The anointing on the apostles is signified by water, and the anointing on Jesus is signified by oil that cannot flow off of you. Even if the oil pours down, you have a residue on you, you never dry out completely. It is impossible to need a refreshing when you have the anointing oil, when you have the Spirit of Christ.
As long as you understand that, it is okay. God is not rigid; you can understand it any way with any words that help you to understand the spiritual principle. We should not be bound by words; we should understand spiritual principles. I myself can say the same thing in three or four ways. Anything you need to do to understand it is okay, as long as you understand the principle from God. Do not get hung up on words.
I have learnt from working up this translation, and I am now forming the opinion that Jesus did not cry physical tears. The tears that are spoken about in the New Testament refer to the anointing. It is called the Holy Ghost. It says that the tears stood against the moisture. It is not talking about oil; it is talking about water, or water vapor. As I explained to you yesterday, when someone who has the oil anointing, the Spirit of Christ, preaches, it goes forth from that person and when it touches that other person that does not have Christ, it becomes the water of the Holy Spirit, because the Spirit of Christ only abides in Christ.
If the Spirit of Christ emanates from someone that has Christ and hits somebody that does not have Christ, when that anointing hits that person, it becomes the Holy Spirit. It is really no different than saying water vapor condenses to water. It is just a different level. Praise the Lord.
Jesus opposed Satan’s spiritual moisture which permeated Leviathan…., now this is very interesting because the teaching of the doctrine of Christ for years has been that Satan’s symbol is the sea, and Leviathan plays in Satan’s sea, and not only does Leviathan play in the sea, but Leviathan is completely penetrated and permeated by Satan’s power in the same manner that a human being is completely penetrated and permeated in every cell of our body, by our blood. I mentioned this last night too.
We have rivers of blood flowing through the main arteries and veins, but we also have blood in every cell of our tissues, and that is Satan. She is the moisture that completely penetrates and permeates Leviathan, and who is Leviathan? Leviathan is basically our old man, or the foundation of our old man, our spiritual being. Jesus did not have any blood; He just was flesh and bones. Praise the Lord.
Also, as I mentioned yesterday, the eagle that flies represents the Binah level. That level of Binah (understanding), the third sefirah down from the top, is symbolized by an eagle, and there is judgment that comes out of that level. Judgment comes out of Binah, judgment comes out of Gevurah, judgment comes out of Malkhut, and they are all different grades and levels of judgment. The eagle that flies out of Binah drops fiery brands, it just drops bombs, fiery brands on Satan’s sea. That eagle is very high, that level is so far above Satan that when judgment comes out of that level, the person that, that judgment is emanating from, is not likely to get hurt.
The lower down you are when you minister judgment, the more likely you are to get hurt, by the carnal mind of the person that are you judging. That is why Paul said, ”Do not judge before the time.” You can get hurt, I guess you can hurt the other person, but in my opinion it is much more likely that you will get hurt. If you tell somebody their sins and that person does not appreciate you telling them, they could get mad at you. If that person has spiritual power and they get mad at you, you are going to have a problem. If they do not know they have spiritual power, they are much more dangerous than the people who know they have spiritual power.
What kind of a problem are you going to have? I am going to tell you about an experience that I had. I do not think that I was out of order telling this person their sins because they asked me. If someone asks you, you should tell them. I was ministering to someone on the telephone, someone that I knew and had gone to church with for years. She had asked for prayer so I rebuked pride in her, and all of a sudden I could not breathe, I was choking.
Leviathan had reached out and grabbed my throat. I did not know what it was at the time, but it was a totally bizarre experience. I dropped the phone, and I was bouncing off of the walls. That happened to me subsequently several times, and I do not know why I would have that kind of reaction when I am choking. I do not know why I do not just stand still and choke, instead I bounce off of the walls. Either I was bouncing or Leviathan was bouncing me off of the walls, I do not know.
At that time I was living with another sister. I had dropped the phone (it was hanging there, I did not hang it up), and made my way into the bedroom where she was sleeping. I woke her up. I was waving like this. I could not breathe. She was startled, she jumped up and she did not know what to do. I said call 911 (our emergency number).
She picked up the phone and it was off the hook in the other room, so she thinks she is talking to the operator but she is talking to the sister who I prayed for. The sister told me later on that she was really upset at what happened and she was breaking every curse of death and premature death that she could think of.
This is the perfect example of how someone’s unconscious mind can attack you, even when the personality would never ever agree to it. We really have to know this, that somebody down on their knees swearing to you they would never hurt you does not mean a hill of beans when you are in this kind of spiritual activity.
I was crying out to God in my mind, and I just indicated to the sister living with me to put her hand on my back, and when she put her hand on my back, everything broke. It was a very distressing experience. My whole body was traumatized, and that continued to happen to me, over a period of years. Suddenly I would start to choke. It was very upsetting.
When it first happened there were other people around and I knew the day would come that it would happen when nobody else was around, so I had instruction from the Lord. This is a general instruction, no matter what happens in your life, anything that is traumatic or bad, the first thing that you would do is say, “Jesus”.
If you cannot talk, you think it in your mind. I was prepared if it happened when I was alone, and I would even do that when other people were around. It happened when I was alone, and I just cried out, “Jesus, help me,” and it lifted. The Lord gave me further instructions. He said, Just as I would pray, “Jesus,” I am supposed to rebuke Leviathan, and tell her to get her hands off of my throat.
It happened several times and I just put my hand on my throat. I could not talk, so I am saying in my mind, “Let go of my throat, I break your hands off of my throat.” First I said, “Jesus help me.” I do not want to be doing anything on my prayers alone. “Jesus, help me.” I would then say, “Get your hands off of my throat.”
Then the ultimate happened and it has not happened since. I was busy, and when I get busy, it is really something else. I do not even eat. In those days I was managing to get to the gym at least six nights a week and I had to be there by ten o’clock or they lock the door and I cannot get in. If you got in by ten, you could stay till eleven. I was running late. I had worked up until the very last second, and now if I did not leave the house immediately, I was not going to make it to the gym.
I am in this rushed state, and the Lord said to me, “Humble yourself before me,” and I knew He wanted me to get down on my knees. It is unbelievable but I said, “Sorry Lord, I am on my way to the gym.” I cannot even believe that I said that, and I never made it to the gym because that thing got a hold of my throat and it was the strongest clutch it ever had, compared to all of the other times.
I almost checked out that night. Even the sounds that I was making were much more severe, and I was doing everything that the Lord was telling me to do in my mind. I was saying, “Jesus!” I was telling Leviathan to get its hands off of my throat and breaking her hands, and nothing was happening. It got to the point that I said in my mind, “Lord where are you? I am going to die here!” At which point everything started to release.
He told me to do something else. He told me to put my hands on my throat and command my winds pipes to open, and I was saying, “Open, open.” Then I felt that they were releasing. That experience really got me scared. Of course I should have done something about this a long time ago, a long time before that final horrible moment. I am so focused on the work that I do, that, I do not do a lot of things that I should do.
This time I seriously sought the Lord about what to do to prevent it and it has not happened since. What He told me to do is to pray over my wind pipe, and pray over my esophagus. I pray over both of them. They are right in there together, and I pack them with warrior angels. At first I was praying warrior angels on the outside, thinking I would protect myself from the attack coming in, but the Lord said, “No, you have to put them on the inside. The wind pipe is collapsing, so fill your wind pipe with warrior angels so that it cannot collapse, no matter what kind of pressure comes from the outside, it will not collapse.”
So that is how I prayed, and I still pray that way. I have not had a problem since, and every once in a while, I still pray that way. I really would not want to experience that again, I do not want anybody to experience it, but that is what happened to me, and it started with a very good friend of mine asking me to pray for them about pride. I prayed against that thing and it rose up, it bit me and it bit me bad.
I dropped this in passing, either last night or the night before, and do not know if you picked it up. Paul was not bitten by a serpent. No physical serpent came out of the fire and bit Paul. He did not throw any serpent off and it was not because he did not die from the poisonous snake bite that the natives then thought he was a god. No, no!
Paul was a highly spiritual man, very powerful. He stopped off at this island where the natives were into spiritual works. They were probably deep into witchcraft and they knew who he was. They knew that he was a man with a powerful anointing. They probably did not know it was Christ. They probably thought that he was another witch, but they knew that he was a spiritually powerful man, and they wanted to get him before he got them.
We all have the serpent in us. It is called the Fiery Serpent. Everybody has a Serpent in them. The Hindus call it Kundalini, and it goes up and down our spine. These natives thought they were being attacked and they bit Paul in the spirit. He threw it off and they could not kill him. They tried to kill him, brethren, and they could not do it, so they decided he was a god.
This is so accurate. This testimony is about an evangelist who had a ministry in Connecticut, but he was in Africa a lot. I do not think he was in Nigeria very much, but he went to Congo and Zaire, and he was in a lot of places. He would go into the jungles, to the cannibals and the head hunters. He was not sitting in a room like this preaching. He went to, I think it was, a cannibal village. He knew they were cannibals, but the Lord sent him and he went.
He was a heavyset man, so when they saw him, they thought he would make a good meal. This was his testimony. They thought he would make a good meal, but they were not sure about him. They thought he might be a god because he was white. They were not sure, so they were going to test him to find out whether he was a god or their next meal. This is what they did. This is a true story.
They gave him a bow and arrow (this man never shot a bow and arrow in his life) .They gave him a bow and arrow, and they put a target on the tree, and they sent him back twice as far as their best marksmen would ever stand trying to hit it. It was virtually impossible to hit the target. He never had a bow and arrow in his hands in his life, so he pulled the bow back and closed his eyes. He did not even try; he closed his eyes, pulled the bow back, and got it right in the middle of the target! He converted the whole village. The whole village converted. He had some interesting testimonies. Unfortunately he is dead.
We are talking about the spiritual principle in verse 38 ….but Jesus stood against Satan, and Jesus’ tears of compassion opposed Satan’s spiritual moisture which permeated Leviathan…. Satan’s moisture was spiritual power on the level of Jesus’ tears; Jesus’ tears signified spiritual power. However, it was not an even contest, because in addition to Jesus’ tears was the anointing of the Father.
Then I told you it permeated Leviathan. Satan is the spiritual blood. Satan’s blood existed in a spiritual body. We have a spiritual body that looks just like this. Our soul actually, is our spiritual body, and it looks just like this, except that it is translucent or transparent, I am not sure which, but you could see through it, and you could put your hands through it.
It exists on the spiritual realm next to this one. That spiritual blood exists in our soul, but the physical blood in this physical body is a physical manifestation of Satan’s spiritual blood. Every disease known to man flows in the blood. It is my understanding that we have everything, either it is turned on or it is turned off. Not every disease in the world is turned on in us, but the potential for every disease comes through the blood, it is unclean. The life of this flesh is in the blood. It is not God’s blood; it is the Serpent’s blood.
We talked about the fact that Leviathan is our old man, our outer man, or at least the foundation of the outer man. Leviathan plus our personality is actually the Devil. When our personality agrees with our satanic side, Satan and Leviathan, we become the Devil. When our personality agrees with Christ and the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, we become an angel. The personality goes both ways right now, but the day will come that she will no longer go both ways.
Right now, one minute I am sitting here preaching like this and the next minute I could walk out of here and lose my temper, and become a Devil. We go back and forth right now, but that is only temporary, it will not continue. It does not glorify God, so the power is being imparted to us to be an angel all of the time. Jesus was an angel in the flesh.
Leviathan plays or swims in the sea which is Satan. Leviathan is the male spiritual sexual organ of the Serpent. The Serpent which is a spiritual being is penetrating this world. Everything that happens in this world happens on two sides. This is the divided age. If Paul can tell us that we have the ability to, and are exhorted to bear a spiritual child, through a spiritual union of Christ with our personality, then the same thing is happening on the other side.
James talks about that when he talks about the conception of sin. That is what he was talking about. Just as we become impregnated with the Christ child and actually bear that child as a full grown man, which condition imparts life to our soul and our physical body as long as we are in the physical body, the same thing can happen on the other side. Leviathan is across from Christ. If you are looking for an analogy, if you want to understand how it happens on the other side, look at Christ.
Christ is over here, and Leviathan is over there (we are talking about Sefirah, levels or grades of spiritual power). They are on the same level; the only difference is that Christ has help from above. Actually Leviathan has help from above too, but the source of Christ’s help is higher than the source of Leviathan’s help. Nobody is up in the highest heaven where God is. No aspect of the Serpent’s kingdom is that high. There is no corresponding level to Almighty God. The highest level of the Serpent is underneath God. I am glad to be able to tell you that.
We discovered the secret of Jesus’ tears. It is talking about the spiritual power that emanates from Him when He has compassion. We are also talking about the scalp of the Serpent, which is at the level of Keter, very high. Leviathan is the male spiritual sexual organ. Leviathan, which is pride, impregnates us. James gives us the whole plan. Leviathan interacts with our mind and impregnates us with evil destructive thoughts. Mortal humanity has no power over this. It has no way to dry up the continuous unending ungodly thoughts that emanate from our carnal mind, or from the unconscious part of our carnal mind. We have no way to dry it up, and that is why we die.
Even if we behave perfectly, (although that is impossible, this is just an example), and never sin in our behavior for our entire life, we will still die, because we have a sin nature in our spiritual root. Satan and Leviathan are our mortal foundation and they are always devising evil. Some people yield to that evil and agree with it and do it, and other people do not yield to that evil, but the evil is in there in the deepest part of our being.
Every second of every minute of every day, it is trying to get us to engage in behavior or thoughts that we know to be sin. Why? Because when we sin, Satan has the legal ground to come in and take our energy, and when Satan takes our energy we get sick and ultimately we die. The entities in other realms are feeding off of us. They are feeding off of us.
Leviathan is pretty high up. He is the extension of the Serpent that penetrates into this world. I guess we pretty much covered this verse. Does anybody have a question about what I just said? I have covered a lot of issues, does anybody have a question?
Verse 39, Now Simon the Pharisee which had invited Jesus to teach him, answered his own question rather than ask Jesus, his teacher, saying, if this man Jesus were a true prophet, he would have recognized, by Jehovah’s Spirit, what kind of woman he was joining himself to, because she is a sinner, steeped in witchcraft.
I told you yesterday that I bet you that Pharisee was jealous, he was jealous.
These are the three verses that I did for today.
Luke 7, Verses 44-46, Alternate Translation
44 And Jesus turned towards Simon and said, Why are you looking at this woman with envy?, The Spirit of Christ, my spiritual water/sperm, entered into your spiritual household also, but you did not deliver up your carnal mind to the one who is from above. Therefore, the tears of compassion squeezed Satan’s moisture out of Leviathan, the Keter/scalp of the Serpent, the head of this woman’s carnal mind.
45 You, Simon, would not deliver up your carnal mind to me, but his woman joined herself to me continually, even though she was separated from what you were born into.
46 This woman did not anoint my head with physical olive oil; but on the contrary, I anointed her carnal mind with the anointing oil of my Spirit.
Verse 44, And Jesus turned towards Simon and said, Why are you looking at this woman with envy? The Spirit of Christ my spiritual water…. the term water in the Scripture can mean urine, or it can mean sperm. Jesus had spiritual water in the anointing that comes out of Him. Jesus had the male anointing, the Greek word is sperma. It is His spiritual seed and it capable of impregnating a human being that has spiritual eggs. Every human being does not have spiritual female parts. That is what the Holy Spirit is all about. For the people who come into this world without spiritual female parts, the Holy Spirit becomes their spiritual female parts. When the seed of Christ enters into that person’s spiritual being, Christ joins with that Holy Spirit, and Christ begins to be formed.
Jesus looked at Simon and asked him what he was envious of this woman for. ….The Spirit of Christ, my spiritual water/sperm, or my anointing, entered into your spiritual household also, but you did not deliver up your carnal mind to the one who is from above, therefore the tears of compassion squeezed Satan’s moisture out of Leviathan, the Keter/scalp of the Serpent, the head of this woman’s carnal mind. “She got delivered but you did not. It did not happen to you because you would not submit to me.”
We are not talking about a carnal exercise that says, “Now look, you just have to submit.” That is not what Jesus is talking about. There is deliverance in submission. If you want Christ to be formed in you, if you want to go forward with God, there are certain behaviors that will promote that. Refusal to submit, which is pride, will hinder you. When you will not give up your pride, the Christ mind cannot ascend above it. Jesus was saying this Pharisee would not give up his pride.
I have told you over the last couple of days, that the kingdom of heaven is the two minds. First of all you have to have the Christ mind imparted to you, and then the Christ mind has to ascend above the carnal mind and mount it so that the two minds begin to function as one mind under the dominion or auspices of Christ. That is what the kingdom of heaven is.
The kingdom of God is Christ alone. Christ alone is the kingdom of God. When Christ begins to be formed in you, He enters into your spiritual being as a seed, and that seed enters into one of your lower energy centers. It is not really possible for that seed to graft to your higher energy centers. Satan does not want that seed there, so she is going to do everything she can to kill it, drown it, murder it, chop it, break it, anything she can, so it is not really possible for that seed to graft to your higher energy centers.
It starts in your lower realms, the third energy center more specifically, although the Scripture says it enters into your heart, that is the fourth energy center, and Satan’s spiritual sea covers your heart center, your unregenerate man. The heart center is under water, under Satan’s dominion. Christ is grafted under Satan’s dominion.
I saw a documentary once on the impregnation of a woman, and I was amazed to find out that there are thousands of sperms that are trying to impregnate or pierce through one egg. There are thousands of sperms and sometimes the egg is not even pierced. For the woman to become impregnated, one sperm out of thousands has to break through the exterior of that egg. If two make it, she has twins. Each human being is a spiritual egg; we each have the potential to bear the Christ child or the Serpent’s child. Some of us are more fertile than others. Jesus’ sperm goes forth through the foolishness of preaching. If I am truly preaching by the Spirit of Christ, your spiritual being is being bombarded with spiritual seed.
Jesus said to Simon, “You did not offer up your carnal mind.” When that carnal mind will not submit to that young Christ, you can have a spontaneous abortion. You can have a spiritual miscarriage, there is such a thing as a spiritual miscarriage. That is why the things I am teaching you are so important, because the personality, which is the midwife, must be trained to know what it has to do to promote the growth and the life of the Christ child rather than kill it.
Without this education, we tend to default to our carnal mind. The carnal mind knows that you are pregnant with Christ, and the carnal mind is going to convince you to do everything possible to abort that child. If you do not understand what she is telling you, you might think it is harmless. Satan is not going to say to you, “I want you to abort the child,” because you are not going to do it. The most important thing that you have to learn is to recognize the sound of your carnal mind. Your carnal mind can sound just like God. It is my job and whoever teaches what I teach, to help you to learn how to be exercised to discern between good and evil, because they both sound the same.
There is just so much to learn. That is what this level of ministry is about, to equip you to recognize Satan’s devices so that you can have the choice. Her devices are more and more refined and subtle. I believe that anybody that chooses that they do not want God, the Lord will let them go (a lot of the time, but not all of the time), but He wants you to be educated so that you can make an educated choice because Satan is subtle. However on the other hand, if you are a person who is called to a high spiritual office or a high place in God’s plan, He is not letting you walk away. You will have some difficult times if you walk away from God if you are really called.
Simon was jealous and Simon was rebuked. The Lord said, “What are you jealous for? You had the same opportunity, but you wanted to be the boss. You wanted to teach me, you wanted to show me how much you knew. You wanted my philosophy without giving me credit of being a teacher. You judged me as ignorant that I did not even recognize the woman was a witch.”
“I know everything that you were thinking. You thought you were better than me; you thought you were smarter than me. All that you wanted from me was that philosophy. Well I have a flash for you. The spiritual philosophy of the doctrine of Christ cannot be separated from humility, willingness to submit to God, and from a willingness to have your own sin nature revealed and to judge it. You cannot separate the two.” Simon was rebuked.
Verse 45, You, Simon would not deliver up your carnal mind to me, but this woman joined herself to me continually, even though she was separated from what you were born into.
He said, “Simon you were born into a knowledge of what you need to do to arise in Christ. You were taught since you were three years old (they start them right away, Israelite boys were put in school at three years old, I do not know about the girls). Your spiritual education in God was there from the beginning. You were born into a home where your parents kept the law, so the home was spiritually clean. You had every opportunity. This woman did not have what you had. She was not born into a household like that. She did not have Godly parents; she did not know what you knew.”
Paul says in the book of Romans, there are those that have the law of God written in their heart. Her heart was humble. As soon as Jesus stood up and opposed Satan, and she came into her right mind, she chose Christ. That is the purpose of deliverance. That is the purpose of Jesus delivering people against their will. We as mortals cannot do this. Your motive has to be perfect, and only Christ has that ability to deliver somebody against their will.
Paul did it, he cast out a demon out of that woman that was following the group saying, “These men are great men of God,” but she was working under a spirit of divination, and the Scripture says that one day Paul just got tired of it and he turned around and said, “Would you just come out of her!” And the demon came out.
You have to be in a very high spiritual place to do that, because generally speaking you cannot cast demons out of people that want to keep them. When you are in that high spiritual place that Jesus and Paul did it, you will have an awareness, a knowledge of the person’s true condition. I believe that Jesus and Paul did this only because they knew by spiritual knowledge that these two women would have chosen God if they had the choice, but they were still so bound that they could not choose God.
In both incidences, the demons were cast out without repentance from the women, and as soon as the women were free enough to choose, they chose God. In our present spiritual condition, we do not have the ability to recognize whether a particular person will repent if they had the opportunity, and that is why we cannot do that.
Jesus is coming as a thief in the night, and when He appears in the earth at this level of spiritual power that He was at in the days of His flesh (Paul was not as high as Jesus but Paul had that authority to do it too), He will be setting free the people that right now are cursing Him. People that are steeped in witchcraft and cursing Jesus today, will be set free, because Jesus knows the hearts of men. They will be set free and are going to be serving Jesus.
Verse 46, This woman did not anoint my head with olive oil; but on the contrary, I anointed her carnal mind with the anointing oil of my Spirit.
The Greek word indicates that Jesus was talking about the physical, material, olive oil. This woman did not anoint my head with olive oil…. she did not come in and try to minister to me, which is interesting because the King James translation says that she came in to minister to Him, right? Jesus said, “She did not come in to minister to me, she recognized that I was higher than she was. She recognized that I could help her. She recognized that she wanted something from me. She did not come in and try to show herself to be a big shot. She did not try to anoint me with olive oil” ….but on the contrary I anointed her carnal mind with the anointing oil of my Spirit. I would guess that Simon tried to pray for Jesus and anoint Him with oil. That is what it sounds like; either that or it was just a parable.
As is my practice sometimes when I translate these verses in their form of the spiritual mysteries, I find sentences out of place, and I will move the sentences around. I call this interspersion. I intersperse the verses, and here is an example of it. I interspersed verse 44 and 46. Sometimes I break up a verse and what I do when I break up a verse is I make it an a and a b. So you see that verse 44 is broken down into a and b, and I use these different positions, and this is what it sounds like.
44a And Jesus turned towards Simon and said, Why are you looking at this woman with envy, the Spirit of Christ, my spiritual sperm entered into your spiritual household, but you did not deliver up your carnal mind to the one who is from above.
45 You, Simon, would not deliver up your carnal mind to me, but his woman joined herself to me continually, even though she was separated from what you were born into.
46 This woman did not anoint my head with physical olive oil, but on the contrary I anointed her carnal mind with the anointing oil of my Spirit.
44b So, Simon, that is why the tears of compassion squeezed Satan’s moisture out of Leviathan, the scalp of the Serpent, the head of this woman’s carnal mind, and did not squeeze Satan out of your carnal mind.
When we see people in the church that do not get delivered, we know that the chances are excellent that they are in pride. This is not true all of the time, but when you see somebody that is critical, when you see somebody that wants to minister to the teacher, when you see somebody that wants to teach the teacher, those are signs of pride, and it is not likely they are going to be delivered.
Sometimes you are in a right spirit, but you have to wait for your deliverance. I waited thirteen years before my healing even started, and I was two weeks away from death when I went into the hospital. They kept me there for three months, and nobody thought I would come out. The Lord told me from the beginning of my walk with Him that He would heal me; I did not know why I was not healed. I did not know why thirteen years had elapsed and I was not healed. I knew that I was about to die so I just told the Lord, “I do not know why you did not heal me, but that is okay. Whatever you want is okay. I just have one last request, please make it fast.”
I went into the hospital the next day, and I woke up every morning, opened one eye, and I said, “Oh no, I am still alive, I do not believe this, I am still alive.” I came out of the hospital alive. The nurses did not expect me to come out of the hospital, the doctors did not expect me to come out of the hospital, nobody expected me to come out of the hospital, but here I am today, because I have a job to do.
If you have any kind of problem that you think might be taking your life, the safest place to be, is in the service of the Lord. Even if you do not have a problem, the safest place to be is in the service of the Lord. If He has given you an assignment, and you have not completed it yet, He is very inclined to save your life if you are faithful in pursuing that assignment. That is the place to be.
I will read the whole thing.
Luke 7:37-39, and 44-46, Alternate Translation, amplified and interspersed
36 And Simon, one of the Pharisees, desired to interrogate Jesus, to the end that he might acquire a knowledge of Jesus’ spiritual philosophy. So the Pharisee invited Jesus to him home for a meal, but Jesus went to join Himself to Simon’s spiritual household.
37 And behold, a woman who abode in spiritual Babylon, the sinner’s city, knew that Jesus was eating at Simon the Pharisee’s home, and the spirit in the alabaster statue that she burned incense to brought her there to curse Jesus.
38 And Satan, the unconscious part of the woman’s mind, was causing her to wail loudly, but Jesus stood against Satan, and Jesus’ tears of compassion opposed Satan’s spiritual moisture which permeated Leviathan, the scalp of the Serpent, Satan’s head, and the spiritual power of Jesus’ tears of compassion squeezed Satan out of Leviathan, the scalp of the Serpent, the head of the carnal mind that the woman became attached to when she burned incense to Satan to acquire the Serpent’s anointing.
39 Now, Simon, the Pharisee, which had invited Jesus to teach him, answered his own question rather than ask Jesus his teacher, saying, If this man Jesus were a true prophet, he would have recognized by Jehovah’s Spirit what kind of woman He was joining Himself to, because she is a sinner, steeped in witchcraft.
44a And Jesus turned towards Simon and said, Why are you looking at this woman with envy? The Spirit of Christ, my spiritual sperm, entered into you, into your spiritual household, but you did not deliver up your carnal mind to the one who is from above,
45 You, Simon, would not deliver up your carnal mind to me, but this woman joined herself to me continually, even though she was separated from what you were born into.
46 This woman did not anoint my head with physical olive oil; but on contrary, I anointed her carnal mind with the anointing oil of my Spirit.
44b So, Simon, that is why the tears of my compassion squeezed Satan’s moisture out of Leviathan, the scalp of the Serpent, the head of this woman’s carnal mind, and did not squeeze Satan out of your carnal mind.
I would like to point out to you that I do not particularly think that this Pharisee wanted deliverance; he was just envious that this woman had Jesus’ attention and that she received something from Jesus. He did not want deliverance or he would have repented. We will check out the other gospels but I do not, at the moment, have anything in mind that would tell me that he repented. It is very hard for a Pharisee to repent, it takes a real miracle.
I was surprised to find out that God considers pride the most serious sin. I would have thought that murder was the most serious sin, but pride is the most serious sin because it separates you from God. You have the opportunity to repent of any other sin. When you murder somebody, or if you are engaged in some ungodly practices, there is always that opportunity to repent, but pride tells you that you have not done anything wrong, and that is a real problem. It takes a miracle to save a Pharisee. Sinners come to the Lord much more quickly.
Before we restart on my notes, are there any questions on anything that I said today at all?
Luke 7:40-50 are secondary verses. These are the verses that appear in the Scripture in the book of Luke after the account of the woman with the alabaster statue. We are going through the end of chapter 7 and the first three verses of chapter 8.
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have something to say unto you, and he saith, Master say on.
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors, the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore which of them will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And He said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
We see that Simon was putting up a good front, he was acting like he wanted to hear what Jesus had to say, but the truth is that he was judging Jesus the whole time. You cannot receive spiritual ministry from someone whom you are judging all of the time. The whole idea of a teacher-disciple relationship should be that the disciple wants to acquire every good thing, everything that is of God, that that teacher has.
You should want everything that I have that is of God. But if your state of mind is one of criticism or if you think that you know more than the teacher, it blocks you from receiving that anointing. You may gain some knowledge if you sit under these meetings (not just here, in any ministry), you could gain knowledge if you are an intelligent person, you could gain knowledge, but you are not going to get that teacher’s anointing if you are not in submission, and that is a big mystery. You could sit under a teacher for twenty years and if your heart is lifted up in pride, you could know the book backward and forwards, but you are not going to get that teacher’s anointing.
It is the intention of God to reproduce the anointing of God that is in the called teachers, in each and every one of the disciples. You are supposed to be getting what I have, or at least the seeds of it. Every seed does not prosper equally, but if you have been under a teacher, any teacher, whether it is a teacher of God or it is a teacher that is not of God, you should expect that what is in that teacher’s spiritual being will be reproduced in you.
Simon said all of the right things. He said, “Say on Master, I want to hear what you have to say, sure I want to hear it,” but did he change? He may have listened to the teacher, but did he change? What did he say?
In the early years of my ministry, I found out that some of the people that I was bringing a correction to were leaving the meeting thinking, “Poor Pastor Vitale, she had a bad day today.” They made my rebuke and judgment of no affect, because instead of examining themselves and going before the Lord and saying, “Lord, I do not think I did anything wrong, but did she have a point? Correct me, teach me.” Instead of doing that, they just assumed that they were okay and I was having a bad day, and there was no deliverance.
I do the best I can to put everything before the Lord, and I even ask for correction when nobody is saying anything to me, because I want to be made in His image. It is my greatest desire that I should manifest the nature of Christ, and I know that to do that, the thoughts of my mind that are from my carnal mind have to be revealed. That is exactly how you have the nature of Christ imparted to you. First you recognize your carnal mind.
We recognize the nature of Christ by contrast. If you are not willing to look at your own carnal mind, if you are not willing to be instructed as to what kind of seemingly harmless thoughts are the thoughts of your carnal mind, you will never recognize the thoughts of the Christ mind. If you cannot distinguish between the two, the Christ mind will wind up dying, because in its initial stages of gestation, the Christ mind is much weaker than the carnal mind.
We have to protect that child. When Moses’ mother put him in a boat that looked like a cradle that went down the river, his sister watched to see what happened to the child. That is how we have to watch after that Christ child, until the royalty of God picks it up. What is the royalty of God? At some point in the maturation of the Christ within you, the glorified Jesus Christ will be able to reach it, and take it from there.
When the glorified Jesus Christ reaches the Christ in you, there is an interaction, and the result of that interaction is a different form of Christ than the Christ that grew out of the seed, and that different form of Christ which is now integrating with the glory of the glorified Father, is called Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus is the Lamb that sits on the throne. Christ does not sit on your throne.
Once you have Christ grafted to you, He has to survive. He has to start overcoming, and He has to ascend. He is grafted in your lower parts; He has to rise to a place where the glorified Jesus Christ can reach Him. He has to rise to a place above Satan, a certain degree above Satan, so that the glorified Jesus Christ can come down and touch Him. Christ in you is the throne that God sits upon, or the Lamb sits upon. Christ in you is the throne. The glorified Jesus Christ interacts with Christ and Christ Jesus, the Lamb of God, is born and sits on the throne. Christ Jesus is much more powerful than Christ alone.
Then Christ Jesus joins with the glorified Jesus Christ. Our spiritual being is created from a series of joining of the different elements of God, and He gets stronger and stronger and stronger, and stronger in us. That union between Christ in you and the glorified Jesus Christ is essential because that is our re-connection to the eternal realm.
Simon said, “Master say on.” We see that Simon was very educated in the letter of the law, he knew all of the right answers but his heart was hard towards God, he was uncircumcised in heart, and he was lifted up in pride.
The next verse, verse 44, we did an alternate translation on, so I will just read the verse to you, and briefly go over how I got the alternate word.
Luke 7:44
44 And He turned to the woman and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. KJV
Alternate Translation work up
And [Jesus] turned towards (to) Simon, and said, do you look (see) this woman? My (untranslated word=3427) [spiritual] water, [the Spirit of Christ], entered into your (thine) [spiritual] house[hold] above (for) [your] carnal mind (feet) [but] you did not deliver (gavest) to [you me]; tears [of compassion] moisten/moisture (hath washed) my carnal mind (feet) and scalp(hairs) [there is no Greek word translated head] squeeze out (wiped)
Basically the understanding of the critical words such as hairs of her head, we have worked up in previous verses. The words in brackets [] are amplifications, they do not appear anywhere in the Greek. The words in parentheses () are the words that appear in the King James translation. So you see the words turn towards in And Jesus turned towards, and then the words here in parentheses, (to), that means that the Greek word translated to really means turn towards.
Sometimes you can see how the King James translators could have chosen that translation, but sometimes the choices make no sense at all. I am convinced that the answer is that the translators just did not know what to do with the Greek word, so they made something up. I know that sounds terrible, but it is really not. It is called translator’s license. They did the best they could. When you translate something, you work on the concept of the whole verse. So they looked at it, they looked at the verb, the major word, they conceptualized their understanding of the verse, and then they put all of the little words in, wherever they could make them fit.
In this case, the word does not mean to, it means turn towards, which is a significant word. Jesus turned towards Simon and said, seest…. That Greek word translated see can also be translated look. So instead of saying Do you see this woman? Jesus is saying, Why are you looking at her like that? It seems like a slight difference but it changes the whole meaning of the verse, however, both translations are perfectly legitimate. Do you see this woman? and Why are you looking at this woman? are both perfectly legitimate translation of that Greek phrase.
Sometimes we have a word in the Greek that is not translated at all. In the Interlinear Text, you see a word there, Strong’s #3427, and there is no translation for it. Why would the King James translators not translate a word? The reason is because they could not fit it into their translation. To them, the word my is a very simple word, so they left it out. Sometimes you leave little words out, sometimes you put little words in.
The bottom line is, you look at the verb, you look at the important adjectives or the important nouns, you conceptualize the idea of how you are going to translate this verse, and you just make everything work. That is how the King James translators did it, and it is okay.
Then you have the word water. I amplified the word water by adding spiritual, making it Jesus’ sperma. The Greek word translated into the English word thine means your. I amplified the word house into spiritual household which is something I do frequently. We know that we are the household of Jesus; we are a part of the household of God. It is very common for me to do that.
Here is an interesting one. The Greek word translated for means above. To me for is a very simple word, it can easily be added on, but that word above is very important. Jesus said, “You refuse to submit to the one who came from above.” Jesus was telling Simon, “I come from above, you are from below.” Jesus was telling Simon off because Simon was not acknowledging that Jesus came from above.
If you recall, in one of the verses that we translated yesterday, Simon, when thinking about Jesus, used the word houtos, meaning any person, any man, not even a whole man. The Greek word anthropos, a man faced creature was not used, indicating that Simon did not realize or did not acknowledge that Jesus was the Son of God, or even a spiritually mature man. Simon really thought that he was higher than Jesus. He just wanted this one thing that Jesus had, His doctrine, His philosophy, but he did not want anything else from Him because he thought he was higher than Jesus was.
We have been translating the English word feet as carnal mind for a long time. We talked about that yesterday. We said the people in the flesh are the foot company. I translated the Greek word gavest, as deliver, you did not deliver it up. I think that is much stronger than using the word give.
We amplified tears to tears of compassion because there are so many Scriptures that talk about Jesus crying tears and being filled with compassion. Then the Greek word translated wash we are translating moisture, which is really what the Lord means. Wash is something the King James translators just used to make it fit. It means moisture, and again we have the word feet which we are translating carnal mind. Again the Greek word translated hair means scalp. I established that yesterday. The Greek word translated wiped means squeezed out, so we are using it that way again.
Once again the alternate translation of verse 44 is
And Jesus turned towards Simon and said, Why are you looking at this woman with envy? The Spirit of Christ my spiritual sperm entered into your spiritual household also but you did not deliver up your carnal mind to the one who was from above. Therefore the tears of my compassion squeezed Satan’s moisture out of Leviathan, the scalp of the Serpent, the head of this woman’s carnal mind, and it did not happen to you.
There is another aspect here, this is very important. We have a lot of people in the church today teaching and believing that all that you need to ascend is to have Christ formed in you. This is not true. Christ can be formed in you and be very mature in you, but if there is no warfare going on, He is not ruling over your life. He is not your Lord. Why do I say that? Because Satan will do everything she can to stop Christ from being your Lord, because Satan wants to be your Lord.
If you are not engaged in a spiritual warfare of mind, if you are not praying down all of the thoughts of your mind (I am not putting you in bondage), if you are not praying about the thoughts of your mind to discern whether it is Christ talking to you or Leviathan or Satan in your carnal mind, then most likely Christ is not there. If He is there, He is not functioning. He is lying in the bottom of your boat.
If Christ in you is lying in the bottom of your boat (our boat is our spiritual man, this whole world is under spiritual water), that means when a spiritual crisis comes into your life, you are going to have to wake Him up before you get any help, and that might be too late. It might be too late to help you if you first have to wake Him up and get Him up from the bottom of the boat when you are in trouble.
When Jesus is on top, and He is on the deck, and you have a problem, for example, Leviathan is choking you and about to kill you, all you have to do is think in your mind, “Jesus!” and He is right there. I will follow through on that thought.
In the account in the Scripture where Jesus was sleeping in the bottom of the boat and there was a storm, and the disciples were crying, “Lord do you not care?” the Scripture says Christ was sleeping. It does not say Jesus was sleeping in the bottom of the boat. It just says Christ was sleeping in the bottom of the boat. There is a difference between Jesus and Christ. Jesus of Nazareth is the man. The disciples were crying out, saying, “Do you not care about us Lord, where are you? The storm is raging, and we are about to be destroyed, why will you not help us?”
Why did Jesus of Nazareth not do anything? Because in that particular incident Jesus of Nazareth decided, based on the mind of His Father, that Christ in the disciples was supposed to be handling that problem.
Sometimes your children have problems and you, as the parents, just sit back and say, “It is time for you to solve this problem yourself.” A parent that solves every problem for their children is not helping them. A parent that is solving every problem for a thirty year old man has a crippled thirty year old son on their hands. Spiritual teachers (in Christ or out of Christ) are here to help you only when they discern that you cannot help yourself, when the problem is over your head. If the problem is within your grasp to solve, you are supposed to be solving it yourself.
The storm was raging. I suggest to you it was a spiritual storm. I suggest to you Satan was raging. I suggest to you that the disciples had ascended spiritually and when we ascend, the first territory that we ascend into is Satan’s territory. It is the spiritual realm right next to this physical realm that we live in, and it is Satan’s territory. Some people call it the astral plane. The Kabbalists call it Yetzirah, the world of formation. I was teaching somebody once, and she was having some problems so she called me up and I said to her, “You are pressing into Satan’s realm, you should expect these things.” She got all upset and she said, “Satan’s realm? I am pressing into the kingdom of God. What are you talking about?” I said, “The kingdom of God is on the other side of Satan’s realm. You have to go through, just like the Hebrew children coming out of Egypt had to go through enemy territory.”
I use to wonder when I would read the book of Exodus, why all of those kings would not let the Hebrew children through. They said to the inhabitants of these lands,”We will pay you; we will not take anything from your land at all. We just want to pass through, so just leave us alone, and just let us pass through,” and not one king let them pass through. Why? It was because these journeys typified the ascension through the spiritual realms.
There are five foundational worlds, and there are an infinite number of subdivisions within these five worlds. Spiritual ascension is ascension of mind. When we ascend spiritually, it is ascension of mind, and we ascend into these five levels. Each of these five levels and all of their subdivisions are occupied by spiritual beings that are indigent to that spiritual realm. They cannot ascend to the realm above and they cannot descend to the realm below. They can only abide in the realm that they are assigned to.
All of these spiritual beings were created in the first five days. On the sixth day Adam was formed, and God said to Adam, “Have dominion over everything else that has already been formed.” The outplaying of that, the practical manifestation of that, or the expression of that, is that Adam, which we are (we are the descendants of the fallen Adam), has the potential to occupy and be conscious upon and rule over every one of the five realms.
Adam, before he fell, was fully conscious over all realms, and these other realms are all inside of us. We are the outer darkness, our physical body and this consciousness is the outer darkness, but our mind and our spiritual being is supposed to be able to penetrate this conscious realm into the other realms that we are not conscious of, and rule over. The key word is to rule over them. That is the key word, rule over, and dominate them, dominate every realm, every spiritual realm within us with the kindness of God, and be a king to every entity and every species in all of these realms.
The kings would not let the Hebrew children through, because they (the kings) were types of the leaders of all of these worlds that understand that when Adam ascends to the highest world, he will then rule over all of the worlds from that high place.
I was talking to you about Christ sleeping in the bottom of the boat. That was Christ in the disciples. Jesus was not going to help these disciples that had ascended into the next spiritual realm. We all have to learn how to deal with the storms of the next spiritual realm and those storms can be very destructive. We have to learn how to deal with them. I would get hit with these spiritual storms (it has not happened to me in a while), and I would not leave the house. I can recognize when I am in a spiritual storm and it is not safe to be driving my car. It is not that I will not work, I work in the house and I usually will try to do some spiritual work that will raise up the anointing, but I have seen some really bad storms and I have seen people get hurt.
There have been times that I have sent out emails to people in the ministry saying, “The angel of death is flying, batten down the hatches. You better make sure that you do not have any unconfessed sin. Ask the Lord if you have any unconfessed sin, because when the angel of death flies, it is a blanket judgment.”
You can be completely innocent, but if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, the Lord is not going to intervene, you will be hurt. If the angel of death is flying, you have to contact your savior in the midst of you and find out what the plan for your life is, for your safety and for your family’s safety. If the plan is, “Do not go to the world trade center on 9-11,” and you did not listen to the Lord, you are dead. Have you got it? Praise the Lord.
Maybe I have to explain that further, because I did have somebody tell me that the Lord will protect them anyway. I think there was a big hurricane going to Oklahoma City, and I called this friend of mine that lives in the suburbs of Oklahoma and said to her, “You know the angel of death is flying and there is a big hurricane, I hope that you are staying away from the city.” Her answer to me was, “I am not going but if I have something to do, I would go anyway and the Lord would protect me.”
No He would not. You need to know this. He would not protect you when he has told you not to go. Yes, some people survive when there is a hurricane or an earthquake or a volcano or a huge tidal wave, people that could not get out of there, people that were trapped there, people that had no way out. But if you are outside of it, and you are heading right into it because you think God is going to protect you, you are in for a surprise.
That reminds, when I was a wild twenty year old, I had a police sticker on the windshield of my car because my brother-in-law was a police officer, and I thought nobody would give me a ticket. I had gotten away with not getting a ticket a few times, so I drove my car right into the heart of Manhattan and parked it right in front of a movie theater, and I came out of the movie and I had a ticket. I pushed it too far. Do not push God too far, do not be stupid.
Luke 7:45
45 Thou gavest me no kiss; but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. KJV
Alternate Translation work up
joined (kiss) she me not deliver up (gavest) this woman, but she was separated from (since) what (the time) you (I) was born into (I came in) [but] has joined (kiss) her carnal mind (feet) to me continually (hath ceased)
The Greek word translated kiss we are translating join. Again the Greek word translated gave, to give up we are translating, separated from, the woman was separated from. The word since we are translating from. The phrase the time does not mean that at all. The Greek word that is translated time does not mean that at all. It means what or who, and that is how we are translating it. The word, the pronoun I, I changed to you.
I have no problem believing that it is supposed to be you. As I told you, in order to fit the translator’s conceptualization, or the understanding of the verse, they will change the person of the verb, and I just do not see how the first person is appropriate in this verse, so I changed the pronoun to you.
Also, the phrase, I came in I changed it to, to be born into. That is really the verb; I do not know whether that was a verb. I do not know whether I took translator’s license there or that was what the word meant, but I changed it to, to be born into, to enter into. I think that is a legitimate amplification of that word.
The word kiss is joined, and the word feet, the carnal mind. The English words, hath not ceased mean to continue. That is pretty much what it means, this was an easy verse.
Luke 7:45 Alternate translation
You, Simon, would not deliver up your carnal mind to me, but this woman joined herself to me continually, even though she was separated from what you were born into.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. KJV
This one was pretty simple too. This is almost the way it is, just feet to carnal mind. It was no big deal.
Luke 7:46, alternate translation,
This woman did not anoint my head with physical material olive oil, but on the contrary, I anointed her carnal mind with the anointing oil of my Spirit.
“You have got it backwards Simon, you are not here to tell me what to do or to minister to me, or teach me.” I do not know whether you have seen it here or not, but it is very common in the United States. The younger the new convert is, the more knowledge they have to teach the preacher. They have got all of this information, and they just want to teach you everything they know.
Maybe they do have knowledge, but usually the teacher knows what they want to tell them. But even if they do not, even if the new convert has knowledge that the teacher does not have, do you not want to learn? What did you get converted for? You are around somebody that has years of experience, do you not want to hear what they have to say? It is just a spirit of pride and pride is foolishness.
47, Wherefore, I say unto you thee, her sins which are many are forgiven, for she loved much, but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. KJV
Jesus is telling Simon that he loves little. I did not check out the Greek. There are three Greek words translated love. I did not check that word out. Obviously it is not the God love, so it must be phileo love. Phileo love is brotherly love, so in other words, Jesus is saying to Simon, “Obviously you have not loved me very much. You have loved yourself more. You think you know more, you think you are smarter than me. You think that I did not know what I was doing with this woman. You have not loved me very much, but this woman, she did not take any time criticizing me, she was grateful for what I did for her, and she got it and you did not.”
48, And He said unto the woman, Your sins are forgiven. KJV
I maintain that if this woman was just there to bless Jesus and for no other reason, as the King James says, why would Jesus be telling her “Your sins are forgiven”? It is just not appropriate at that time.
49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?” KJV
The Greek word translated they could easily be translated he. I think it was just Simon saying, “Who is this man that He can forgive sins?” I do not think it was the others at the table. We have another Scripture, another verse, that witnesses to the fact that Simon did not have a clue as to who Jesus was. Some people just have itchy ears. They just want the philosophy, the doctrine; that is all that they want. Why do they want it? So that they could teach it to others, that is their motive, not to learn, but so that they could teach it to others and be a big shot.
I think it is totally inappropriate for Jesus to be telling this woman that her sins were forgiven after she did this good deed (in accordance with the King James translation), to him. It almost sounds like it is saying that if you want your sins forgiven, grow your hair long, and find the Son of God, and cry, kiss and wipe his feet with your hair. That is how you get your sins forgiven. It is totally inappropriate, which to me is another witness to the spiritual translation.
Some of the surface translations are much more acceptable than others. The more bizarre the translation is, the more it is a clue that the true meaning is highly spiritual. The higher the spiritual meaning, the more difficult it is to couch it in carnal terms that make any kind of sense at all.
50 And He said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee, Go in peace. KJV
Not only were her sins forgiven, but she got saved. Was it because she grew her hair long and cried on His feet? That makes no sense at all, so I will read you my comment.
Why would Jesus say, “Thy faith has saved thee, go in peace?” The woman was saved from Jehovah’s righteous Sowing and Reaping Judgment, which would have destroyed her because she tried to destroy the Son of God. He was not even talking about the salvation of her soul. He was saying, “You are saved because you could die trying to kill the Son of God.” Do you not understand that when you try to kill someone with spiritual power that is as high as Jesus’ that you could be killed by spiritual power?
“You were saved from death. That spirit of witchcraft sent you here, brought you in here, told you to curse me, and it would have been the end of you, but I had mercy on you, and I did not fight back. I delivered you, and now in my delivering you, and in my ministry to you, I also was able to impart Christ to you. Jesus said, “go in peace, your faith has saved you,” meaning, He had imparted the seed of Christ to her, which is her faith (Christ is our faith), so her faith had saved her.
“Christ is now in you and you are saved from that destruction, because Christ is the White Throne Judgment, and if it was not for the White Throne judgment, if it was not for the mercy that I ministered to you, you would have surely died from Jehovah’s righteous wrath because you tried to kill the Son of God. And now, Go in peace, I have no fight with you; you are not even a practicing witch anymore, so there is no contest. I have cast out the Satanic anointing that sent you to me, so there is now no reason for us to fight. We are now on the same side.”
Do you know how Jesus makes peace with all men? He defeats them, that is how He makes peace with you. That is how we have peace with God. He breaks our witchcraft power. He breaks our rebellion, He breaks our pride. He breaks everything that opposed Him and then we have peace.
Jesus does not compromise. He said to the woman, “You are saved from the Sowing and Reaping Judgment which would have destroyed you and you are delivered, so there is no more reason to fight. You have peace with me, and now you have peace with God.” That is pretty much what I said in the next comment.
We have three more verses, Luke 8:1-3, and this will wind up our exhortation and our translation and our whole work up of the account in Luke of the woman and the alabaster statue. We have three gospels to go, and I hope to finish it before I leave Nigeria.
Luke 8:1-3 KJV [Follow-up verses]
8:1 And it came to pass afterward, that He went through every city and village preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him.
2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
I suggest to you that all of the disciples were at the dinner. At this point, I think that all of Jesus’ disciples were there. The disciples and Mary Magdalene were at Simon’s house, and went with him from there to minister. I might change my mind after we work up the account in the other three gospels.
We know that Martha was there, and that Lazarus was there, and that all of the disciples were invited (that is just my feeling right now), because this Pharisee wanted to build himself up. He wanted famous people in his house. Do you know anybody like that? They invite people to dinner because they want famous people in their house; they want rich people in their house. They want to make good contacts. That was this Pharisee’s motives. He was not looking to learn, or to be taught anything.
I have had people like that, though it has not happened in a long time. When I first started preaching, I had people come to me and say, “I want that doctrine so I can preach it.” I knew they would not last.
In those days I let anybody into my meetings. I do not let anybody into my meetings anymore. It was a big surprise to me to find out that if I had ten people or even fifteen people in my meeting, and there was one person who was in their carnal mind, there was one person who was criticizing me, there was one person who could not flow with me, it would pull me down. You do not have to agree with everything I say, but you have to be able to flow with me.
If there was one person that could not flow with me it would pull me down. Of course I am much stronger today than I was then, but it reached the point that I had to lock the doors and you could only come into the meetings by invitation. The people that come to my meetings in New York are like you, they want to be taught. They do not want the whole meeting to go because someone is challenging me with a Pharisitical challenge (a pharisitical challenge means there is nothing that you could say that will satisfy them, their questions are not legitimate questions).
Therefore, I closed the door on my meetings in New York a long time ago and then people stopped asking to come, until recently. I got a phone call from someone that found my Kabbalah website on the internet, and this woman called me up and told me she was married to a Methodist or some main-line pastor, I will say Methodist. She was also a psychologist and she had meetings where she helped people meditate and all of that, and she thought we had something in common.
I told her that we are really into Jesus and she said, “I am too.” Well, people have different definitions of being into Jesus, so we left it that she would call me the next time she was in my area. She lives about an hour’s ride away. I immediately went into prayer and I said, “Lord, if you do not have anything for this woman, make her forget about me.”
I just do not have time to be fellowshipping with people that are all filled up with pride. I am available to anybody that really wants to learn, or that I can help. If I can help you in anyway, I will bend over backwards to see you, or to talk to you on the phone. I will do anything if I feel that your request is legitimate.
I am not saying this woman was a bad woman, but to me it was like she was playing games. “Oh, I found you on the website and I just love that author that you did a commentary on his book.” She never called anyway. This is very deep spiritual walk and people cannot recognize it, they do not understand what it is.
Praise the Lord. I did not take her up on her invitation for dinner, I guess she was Simon. I told her, “No.” I am sure she was a really nice lady; she just had no idea what she was getting herself into with me. It is dangerous to be around me, if you are not deep in God. Seriously, all kinds of things happen to you.
The pastor that I trained under, he was pretty deep himself, and he used to say that it is dangerous being on the front lines. If you want to be around people that are on the front lines, you better be close to God or you are going to get hurt. You could get shot.
Luke 8:3
3 And Joanne the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna and many others which ministered unto them of their substance. KJV
I do not believe it was money they ministered to Jesus. I know I talked about that recently too. I believe they gave him their spiritual substance. We have read in all these verses about people being joined to Jesus or Jesus joining Himself to the spiritual household of that person.
Jesus’ assignment and the assignment of the body of Christ, or at least one of the assignments of the body of Christ, is to gather together all of the spirits that have fallen down into this low physical realm, and restore them to their first estate. The way we get back up to our first estate (which was in the highest world, and from where we will rule over the whole creation), is by joining ourselves to the spirit that can legally enter in there, and that is the Spirit of Christ.
We are saved through union with the Spirit of Christ. We have no way of getting back up there except by marrying the Lord Jesus Christ. That way, we have citizenship in His country. It is the only way to get back up there.
They gave Jesus of their spiritual substance. They willingly gave to Him, He did not have to come as a thief in the night. The spiritual foundation of this creation which is fallen Adam right now, belongs to God. The Serpent stole the living substance and formed it in her own image, which resulted in our being cut off from Jehovah. We die because we were cut off from our source of eternal sustenance. We are malformed, but we belong to God. Sometimes what happens is that when God comes to retrieve what is His own, the personality, which is a manifestation of Satan in the individual, will not let it go.
Even more often than that, some people who love God will not let their spirit go, because of a lack of understanding, because they were taught something wrong. Nobody has the whole truth at this time, but we have to be open to change if the Lord tells us that something is wrong. If he tells us that something we are doing is holding back the release of that spirit to its source, we have to be open to changing.
From what I can see, the Church world today is closed. Their doctrine is written, they know it all, and they are not open to anything new. Therefore, Jesus is coming as a thief in the night because this creation belongs to Him, and He clearly told us this in a parable, that the owner came or the master came and the people that were renting the land would not give it up.
There are people that say this concept of warfare is not true, that God is not divided and the warfare is totally an illusion. They say Satan is an illusion, all negativity is an illusion. Some preachers have said that. That use to really upset me until I found out what an illusion really was. The word illusion means temporary, so it is true this world is an illusion. It is not permanent, it changes all of the time. We get older, our body changes, the room changes.
I was in XXX’s home twelve years ago, and it did not look like this, her home changed. It is even in a different location. This world is indeed an illusion. Unfortunately, it is our reality; it is the only reality we have. It is true that it is an illusion, but our whole reality is an illusion because if we knew who we were, we would not be here.
It is our carnal mind that is stopping us from rising. The way back, the way of escape, was made available two thousand years ago. The door opened or became available to be opened if we would knock, two thousand years ago, and what happened? The carnal mind will not let us go.
Let us close this meeting out. That was the last verse. I have a comment here that says that the disciples and Mary Magdalene were at the dinner at Simon’s house. That is my opinion. I do not have any proof of it at this time. Praise the Lord. Are there any questions?
I do not know what I am going to preach or teach on tomorrow. It is all up to the Lord. I am prepared to start studying when I go home tonight or to get up at five o’clock tomorrow morning and do what I have to do. However, I do not know whether the Lord will continue on with this message at tomorrow’s meeting. You are a very special group here. There are only two groups that I do original research for (this is all original research) and that is the group in New York and this group. Every other place that I go, I preach out of what I already know.
I do not know who is coming tomorrow for the meeting but the Lord knows who is coming. He may decide to have me continue on with this, or He may have me preach out of what I know, for the purpose of bringing other people up to where you are. You have been listening to my messages for twelve years, so I do not know what He will do tomorrow, but I am sure that I will have a blessing for you, whichever way He goes.
If I do not continue on with this tomorrow, Saturday, I will do so when we come back from Jalingo. As I am sure you all know, we are going to Jalingo on Sunday. When are we returning?
COMMENT: On Friday.
PASTOR VITALE: Will we be having a meeting here on Saturday or the next week?
COMMENT: Sunday.
PASTOR VITALE: Okay. I will be here at least another two weeks. We will definitely, Lord willing, finish this before I leave. Does anybody have anything to say? Are there any testimonies, questions, anything? Okay, God bless you all.
