The Following Message Has Been Transcribed And Edited For

Clarity, Continuity Of Thought, And Punctuation By

The CCK Transcribing & Editing Team.

 

I have given you the notes for what most likely will be two messages. We are working on the Book of Mark now, and tonight I hope to conclude the exhortation on the critical verses and tomorrow night the exhortation on the secondary verses. I really had hoped to finish this series in Nigeria, but my ticket says I have to leave. Lord willing, we will finish the exhortation, and the actual Alternate Translation mark-up on the Book of John in New York, and we will send the messages to the brethren here.

 

We have two documents tonight. The first one is the Alternate Amplified Translation. I have integrated the Alternate Translations of the Book of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. I think I will just read that to you. Before I leave, I would like to bring the "guts" of the message into your heart, that you should know what the message is. I changed the message name to "Mary And Her Alabaster Statue."

 

I am going to start just reading the Alternate Amplified Translation at the time that I finish the work on the Book of John. I will integrate the Book of John into this document and send you all copies.

 

There was something I wanted to comment on. On the previous message, Margaret read onto the message some of her research on alabaster statues, and I did not make the point that not only alabaster statues, but alabaster boxes also have religious significance. Even if somebody reading this message has a problem with me modifying the word "alabaster" with the word "statue," that they choose to continue to say "alabaster box," the alabaster box still has religious significance.

 

I still suggest to you that by the Spirit of Revelation, Mary did not come to bless Jesus. She came to challenge Him as one witch challenges another witch. She came to challenge Him and to acquire His power. Whether she was carrying a statue or a box, she came for a spiritual brawl. That is what she came for.

 

Luke 7:30. I am just going to read through. I not only integrated the account of the alabaster statue and the three gospels, but when I do this kind of work, I frequently break up the actual verses. When you see, for example, Matthew 26a, that means that I split that verse, and somewhere further on you will come across a Matthew 26b. That is what the letters a and b mean.

 

In one or two verses, I actually split the verse four times. I am not going to read the names of the book or the version. I am just going to read this through like a story, and then we will start working up the critical verses in the Book of Mark.

 

Simon, one of the Pharisees, desired to interrogate Jesus to the end that he might acquire a knowledge of Jesus' spiritual philosophy. The Pharisee invited Jesus to his home for a meal, but Jesus went because He wanted to form a soul tie with Simon.

 

At the time that Jesus formed a soul tie with Simon, behold there was a woman who abode in spiritual Babylon, the sinner city, who had all of her needs provided for, because she burned incense to an alabaster statue that she held in high esteem.

 

Satan, the spiritual head of the woman, was controlling the woman through the alabaster statue. The woman knew that Jesus was eating in Simon, the Pharisee's, home. At the time that Jesus formed a soul tie with Simon, that prideful Pharisee who was lying down spiritually, the woman who was burning incense to the alabaster statue, appeared.

 

Satan, the unclean spirit that possessed the woman who was burning incense to the alabaster statue, which statue was joined to her in spiritual marriage, poured out of the woman's human spirit, and Satan, the unconscious part of the woman's carnal mind, was wailing loudly. Jesus' sinless soul shined upon the woman anyway, and Jesus shed tears of compassion, which stood against Satan and opposed Satan's spiritual moisture which permeated Leviathan, the scalp of the serpent, Satan's head.

 

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 acquire the Serpent's anointing. Jesus completely crushed Satan and broke up Satan's spiritual marriage to the woman.

 

There were some that were very grieved within themselves, and they said, "Is it possible that this frightened, used-up person, who was sold into spiritual slavery a long time ago is worth more than two cents? In addition, YKVK, Jehovah, has condemned this woman for burning incense which brings Satan into existence." This is how Simon and Judas criticized Jesus out of a spirit of envy.

 

Then Simon, the Pharisee, who had invited Jesus to teach him, answered his own question 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."

 

Then Jesus turned towards Simon and said, "Why are you looking at this woman with envy? The Spirit of Christ, my spiritual water or my spiritual sperm, entered into your spiritual household, entered into your mind also, into your soul also, but you would not deliver up your carnal mind to Me, the one who is from above. This woman, she joined herself to me continually, even though she was separated from the community of Israel that you were born into. I anointed this woman's carnal mind with the anointing oil of my Spirit. She did not anoint my head with olive oil but, you, Simon, would not deliver up your carnal mind to me. Simon, that is why the tears of my compassion squeezed Satan's moisture, or Satan's sperm, or Satan's seed 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 Simon and Judas Iscariot, Jesus' disciples, understood that Jesus had forgiven the woman's sins and restored her to right standing with YKVK, with Jehovah, Satan, the unconscious part of Simon and Judas's carnal mind, curved them back into the unrighteous motive and reasoning of the carnal mind, and they stumbled over the mercy that Jesus bestowed upon the woman, saying, "YKVK, Jehovah, is against this woman which the law of Moses condemns. Why would you, Jesus, even consider granting the forgiveness of sins to this cursed woman who was sold into slavery a long time ago?"

 

When Jesus perceived Simon's thoughts, He answered him saying, "YKVK, Jehovah, has forgiven this woman and cut her away from Satan, the spirit that was controlling her. I am engaged in the spiritual labor of guarding her spiritual virtue," and Jesus answered them further, saying, "YKVK, Jehovah, has cut the woman away from the spirit that was controlling her, and I am working with this spiritual labor that comes from the world above to guard her spiritual virtue, because I do not always control the frightened, spiritually enslaved, people of this world who are always dominated by the spiritual powers within themselves. You are able to do good whenever you are so inclined, because you have a soul tie with me, because the spiritually poor and wretched are always joined to the ungodly spiritual forces within themselves, but they are not always joined to Me.

 

This is the same woman who burned incense to that statue to acquire the power to bind Me to her mind to dominate Me but, on the contrary, Elohim is possessing that woman in anticipation of binding her body of sin together with My body of light, so that the anointing which prepares the body of sin to be buried under the body of light may be applied. I am telling you the truth, whenever the gospel of Christ is preached anywhere in the world, there will also be taught how I bound this woman's carnal mind, punished Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, put Leviathan, the subconscious part of the carnal mind into submission, and trained Cain, the conscious animal nature of the carnal mind, to submit to Abel."

 

I will not read the last paragraph because it is exactly the same as Matthew 26:13. I expect that when I translate the account in John, there will be other verses that will go in between. Praise the Lord. I hope that gives you a strong idea of what is happening here.

 

This is the message of the gospel of Christ, that we have two minds, and that the mind or the body of death must be brought into submission to the mind of Christ, and it must die for us to go on with God and for the Christ nature to be formed in us. In Christ Jesus is the power to do just that.

 

In Christ Jesus is the power to anoint us for the burial to be baptized into the death of Jesus. That is the death of our carnal mind. It is not physical death. We do not have to die to receive the blessings of God, but we must die to the death of our old man.

 

We all die in Adam. This is the world of the conscious dead. This is hell where we exist. It is hell. We died to Paradise, and we fell down to hell. Now, we must die to hell and be restored to Paradise, our first estate. The person who is not hurt by the second death is the person who has Christ Jesus formed in him, and has buried their body of sin under Christ Jesus. We will not be hurt by the second death. We will continue to exist. Our soul will be saved, and we will continue to exist.

 

To be hurt by the second death means that when the second death comes, you will cease to exist, because the people who do not have Christ formed in them when the second death comes...when people die physically in this world, they are hurt by the second death. They cease to exist. That is how you are hurt by the second death. To be not hurt by the second death means to survive the death of the physical body as Jesus did. That is what it means. Praise the Lord. Are there any questions before we start with Mark?

 

Mark Chapter 14, verses 1 and 2. These are the introductory verses. I am just going to read them.

 

After two days was the feast of the Passover and of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by craft, and put Him to death. That word "craft" means "trickery," but they said, "Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people." That was because the common people believed that Jesus was a prophet.

 

The critical verses in Mark, the verses which contain the concepts that we are comparing in the four gospels, appear in Mark 14, Verses 3 to 5 as follows. "And being in Bethany in the house of Simon, the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box and poured it on His head. There were some that had indignation within themselves and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence and have been given to the poor, and they murmured against her."

 

Alternate Translation mark-up starting with Verse 3, King James. "And being in Bethany in the house of Simon, the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious, and she brake the box and poured it on his head." The Greek word translated "being" is really the verb "to be," and it can be translated "to be brought into existence." The word "to be" can easily be translated, "to be brought into existence." It also can be translated "to be formed."

 

For the purpose of this verse, we are going to use that Greek word which means "to be, to be formed, to come into existence." When you are formed, you come into existence. We then have a word in the Greek that is not translated. It is a word that is a reflective pronoun. It goes back on the person speaking. When this reflective pronoun is present, we know that the person is not talking about someone else. It is talking about himself because the reflective pronoun points us back to the speaker.

 

The phrase, "the house in Bethany," we are translating that as "soul tie." We explained that in the earlier messages.

 

We have more information about Simon. We are told that he is a leper. I looked it up in the Bible dictionary. Some Bible dictionary writers say Simon must have been healed by Jesus, because a leper in Bible days had to be separated from the congregation. He had to put a sign on him that said "Leper," and he had to walk down the street saying, "Unclean, unclean. Anyone, do not come near me."

 

We certainly would not see someone with an active leprosy sitting at meat with the disciples and with Jesus. Of course, the man might have been a spiritual leper. All through the Bible dictionary, I am just drawing a conclusion, a legitimate conclusion, but not a fact. A legitimate conclusion, that if the Bible says Simon was a leper, he must have been healed by Jesus because he was active in polite society. That is their opinion, and it is a valid opinion.

 

I do not know which is the truth, but I see another opinion that Simon was a spiritual leper. We know that there is a spiritual leprosy in the Scripture. We know that the Scripture talks about the house having leprosy. I guess in those days it was possible for the bricks of the house to develop a leprosy, but I know that spiritually speaking, the house is my material body, the body of this flesh.

 

Simon might have had leprosy in his house, in his flesh, or he might have had leprosy in his mind. We do not know whether Simon had leprosy in his flesh, but we know that he had leprosy in his mind. What is leprosy a type of? It is a type of sin, and Jesus is rebuking Simon through this whole account.

 

I did not make it clear, because I did not want to start preaching out of the Alternate Translation, but in the verse, Jesus said, "This woman came, and I anointed her with the oil of my Spirit. She did not anoint me with oil." The suggestion there is that Simon wanted to anoint Jesus with oil. The suggestion is that the student wanted to teach the teacher, and that is exactly the condition of Simon's mind.

 

That is the condition of a mind that the Scripture calls a Pharisaical mind, a mind that exalts itself over the teacher. That mind exalts itself over the teacher, and the next step is to judge the teacher, then to criticize the teacher. Then, if you succeed in destroying the teacher, the person that did not know anything in the first place is now without a teacher. That is not the way things work in the Kingdom of God.

 

The way of finding a teacher in the Kingdom of God is by asking the Lord to direct you to a teacher, and praying to make sure that you have found the teacher that the Lord has sent you to. Then you pray for the teacher, and you pray for yourself continuously that we should all abide in the truth. If there is something that you do not understand, or there is something that you are convinced is wrong, the procedure is to go before the Lord and say, "Lord, I want to be respectful, but I am convinced what the teacher just taught is wrong. Please help me. If I am wrong, show it to me and help me to understand."

 

There is a chance the student is not understanding, but the teacher could be wrong. If you are sure that your heart is right, and you are willing and really want the Lord to explain it to you, then you can continue praying.

 

In the event that the teacher is wrong, please help the whole fellowship by straightening this problem out. If you do not come before the Lord, believing that in the first instance, most likely you, the student, does not understand. If you do not come with that level of humility, the Lord will never receive your prayer if, in fact, the teacher is wrong.

 

That is how you deal with a teacher, especially in a ministry like this where there is so much revelation coming forth. Some things are hard to understand initially. Simon did not have that revelation. He was judging the teacher, and we have that a lot in the Church in the United States. I guess we have it here, too. We judge the teacher, especially when Christians hear a teaching, things that they have never heard before, the first reaction is to judge the teacher. That is a Pharisaical mind. That is your carnal mind.

 

Back to Simon, the leper. The Greek word translated "leper" actually means "scaly or scaled," signifying Leviathan, who has all of those scales we read about in the Book of Job. I am going to assume that Simon was a spiritual leper. That is the conclusion this translator is drawing. I am translating the phrase, "Simon, the scaly one," or "Simon, the prideful one." Then we have the phrase, "sat down at meat."

 

This verb, "to sit," in the Hebrew is frequently translated to signify marriage. The suggestion is that when a man gets married, he sits down, and he sits down with the woman. We are going to take that Hebraism and translate it, "he sat at meat," because the word "meat" is not in the Scripture. It just says, "he sat."

 

If you say, "he sat on the chair," we can take the idiom and say, "he was eating, lying down, or he was married." What I just told you about being married is correct, but I see that the translation is not correct for this verse. Apparently, this verse "to sit down," means "to eat in a reclining position." We are going to translate it "to lie down." It must be a different word that is translated, "sat at meat."

 

There appeared a woman to possess an alabaster statue to burn incense. To burn incense is a translation of the Greek word translated "ointment." The word "spikenard" means "to break up and shine through." It means both of those things. For the translation of this verse, we are going to use both translations. To use two translations, it is called an "amplification."

 

In order to make my point of what I think the verse is saying, I am taking two translations to hit home the meaning. Then we have an untranslated word. This amazes me, sometimes the King James translators leave out insignificant words, but sometimes they leave out significant words, because they just do not know how to translate them.

 

This is Strong's #4101, and it means "genuine, trustworthy, moral conviction." That is an important word in the verse, and they just did not translate it. We are going to use it and translate it, "sinless soul." It is talking about sinlessness, genuine, trustworthy, moral conviction. We are going to translate it "sinless soul." Then we have the Greek word translated, "very precious."

 

That word means "superlative of the point in-depth." When I read that, "superlative of the point in-depth," what came to mind was the definition of sin. The definition of sin is "to miss the mark." This word says, "superlative of the point in-depth." To me that means sinless. That is how I got the word, that coupled with genuine, trustworthy, and moral conviction. I am translating those two words, "sinless soul."

 

The Greek word translated "break" means "to crush completely." The Greek word translated "box" is simply "alabaster," which we are translating "alabaster statue." The Greek word translated "poured," when you see "poured on head," we are going to translate just that, "to pour on one's head."

 

This is the Alternate Translation of Mark 14:3; "At the time that Jesus formed the soul tie with Simon, the prideful Pharisee, who was lying down spiritually, a woman appeared who was burning incense to an alabaster statue. And Satan, the spiritual head of the woman, was controlling the woman through the alabaster statue when Jesus' sinless soul shined upon the woman, completely crushing Satan, and breaking up Satan's spiritual marriage to the woman."

 

We all know there is a marriage coming in the Church. Christ Jesus, the bridegroom, is marrying the personality. The woman is the personality. Praise the Lord. It should not be any surprise to us that a Satanic spirit was married to the woman, because everything that Jesus does is counterfeited by Satan. It is called a spirit guide or a spiritual husband.

 

A physical man can have a spiritual husband too because, spiritually speaking, all human beings are spiritually female. Anyone, male or female, can be controlled by an unclean spirit. In that event, the Scripture says that you are married to that unclean spirit.

 

We are hoping to have Christ Jesus control our lives. I am hoping to have Christ Jesus control my life. Do you know that the Greek word translated "Lord" means "controller"?

 

In the Book of Acts, we have the apostles teaching that He is God, and He is Lord. He is God. The Glorified Jesus Christ, and Christ Jesus controls my life. Christ Jesus, in the midst of me, controls my life. Sometimes it is hard for people to see that every human being is controlled. Either we are controlled by our carnal mind, our old man, or we are controlled by Christ Jesus. The personality cannot exist by itself. The personality cannot exist by itself. It must be married to a mind.

 

The personality joined to a mind creates either a man or a woman, a spiritual person. The personality joined or married to the carnal mind is really a spiritual female. The personality married to Christ Jesus, which contains the mind of Christ, that personality becomes Christ.

 

Actually, the definition of devil is "the personality joined to or in agreement with the carnal mind." That is who the devil is. Satan is the unconscious part of the carnal mind. Satan usually manifests as evil, envy, spiritual evil. Leviathan is the subconscious part of the carnal mind. Leviathan usually manifests as pride. The conscious part of the carnal mind is Cain. When the personality agrees with the carnal mind, that is a manifestation of the devil.

 

When the Scripture says that the devil came to Jesus, it was Jesus' carnal mind. Initially it says, "Satan drove Jesus into the wilderness." That was the unconscious part of the carnal mind of Jesus of Nazareth that was opposing the power that was pouring out upon Jesus to catch Him up to full stature.

 

If you study the account of the temptation, sometimes Satan speaks to Jesus, and sometimes the devil speaks to Jesus. In accordance with my definition, when the Scripture says the devil spoke to Jesus, and then for that brief moment Jesus was in agreement with His carnal mind. I hear all the Pharisees screaming, but the only thing that matters is that He took the victory. He overcame.

 

I have been saying for years, all you religious people, "How is it an encouragement to us if a man was born fully perfect with nothing to overcome, and He grew up in a human form, and He was crucified?" How does that show us a way to escape? How does that encourage us that we have the hope of the same form of deliverance? It does not. He was born a human being. He did have a bit of "a leg up" more than we do because He did not have the sperm of a natural father.

 

I believe that the lack of that natural father diminished, to what degree I do not know, the level of testosterone, the male hormone in His flesh, so He was able to be a eunuch. He succeeded at being a eunuch, but aside from that, He had a carnal mind that He inherited from His mother, from the mother of the man, Jesus of Nazareth, not the mother of God.

 

He had to overcome that carnal mind just like we have to overcome it. He grew in wisdom and grace, and He overcame that body of sin within Him. That body of sin was tempting Him right up to the last minute when the devil spoke to Him during that temptation, but He took the victory. He bounced back, and He took the victory.

 

That vacillation is the double-minded man that James talks about. I even think the word "vacillate" appears in our translations here, this vacillation between the mind of Christ and the carnal mind. Moses went through this great stress in the Scriptures in the Book of Deuteronomy and in the Book of Exodus, according to the King James Translation.

 

Just picture this, Moses, a mortal man, arguing with Almighty God, saying, "Do not wipe out the people." Jehovah was saying to Moses, "I am going to wipe them out, and I am going to make a new people, and they are all going to be your people. They are going to come out of your seed, and I am going to get rid of all these people, because they are worthless." That was God, and this mortal man was saying, "Do not do that Jehovah, do not do that." Jehovah then says, "Oh, all right, I will not do that."

 

I want to tell you that if you investigate those scriptures, the name Jehovah or any other name of God does not appear. I want to suggest to you that was the inner conflict in the man, Moses, between his carnal mind and his Christ mind. He was saying, "These people are killing me, Lord. Wipe them out."

 

Then Christ would rise in him and say, "No, no, forgive them, do not wipe them out." It was Moses' two sides. It was not Moses and Jehovah. It was Moses, the carnal man, and Moses, the Christ man, trying to bring forth the reaction of Christ within himself and he failed. That is why he did not enter into the Promised Land. That was the reason.

 

The Scripture says, "He hit the rock." What does that mean? He hit a rock and God punished him for hitting a rock? No, we have just got to read these Scriptures spiritually. What happened? The people in the wilderness were killing him. They were rebellious. They were arrogant. They were ungrateful, and Moses was spiritually sensitive, a psychic man. The rage of the people was tormenting him and hurting him. The rage was so great that it knocked him out of Christ.

 

The body of Christ was sitting on Moses' carnal mind, and he was great in God, but the rage of the people brought him down. It is the same thing that happened to Elijah. The rage of the people strengthened his carnal mind, and the carnal mind threw Christ off. Moses was vacillating back and forth saying, "Kill them Lord, they do not deserve to live." Then, "No, I intercede for them, Lord, let them live." That was what was happening.

 

It was not Jehovah, it was not any name of God that was saying, "Let us get them." No, not a chance.

 

Verse 4 in the King James. There was some that had indignation within themselves and said, "Why was this waste of the ointment made?" The Greek word translated "indignation," we are translating "grieved." I think there is a big difference between being grieved and being indignant. At least in the United States, the word indignant is a manifestation of pride. If somebody does something that offends me, I am indignant that you would dare to do that. That is a manifestation of pride.

 

Is that how the word is used here? To me that is not "grieved." "Oh, Jesus is joining Himself to that witch. How could He do that? That is just terrible." To me that is not the same word, so we are translating that Greek word as "grieved." The English words, "and said" are not in the Greek. This is interesting. This is the second time that I see the word "why" translated as "YKVK," the word that signifies Jehovah is really "who." I did it in another verse also. I am just going to assume that the Lord overshadowed me. If I did not have the word "why" there, I would have just amplified it in Jehovah. I am just going to go for it.

 

The Greek word translated "wait," we are translating "has condemned." The word means "to condemn." I would never think the English word "waste" would mean "condemn." That is what the Greek word means. The word "ointment," we are translating "to burn incense." The Greek word translated "made" is Strong's #1096, and we are translating it "existence." "To bring into existence."

 

Alternate Translation of Mark 14:4; "And there were some that were very grieved within themselves and they said, YKVK, Jehovah, has condemned this woman for burning incense which brings Satan into existence." I had changed that. I guess I just missed this one spot here.

 

Burning incense brings Satan into existence. What does existence mean? Existence means manifestation. Satan exists always in the unconscious part of the mind but, technically, if we do not see her, she does not exist, but this woman was manifesting the spirit of Satan. She was thinking, speaking, and engaging in behavior that was Satanic. That is what it means to bring Satan into existence, to bring Satan into this visible physical world. She brought Satan into the matrix.

 

Did you all see the movie The Matrix? Satan came into the matrix. She appeared. Satan only appears through people. Spirits come out of people's minds. I do believe that on some very high spiritual level, that there are some very high principalities that would have the ability to self-incarnate. In other words, they could materialize in this world. It takes a lot of energy to materialize in this world. It takes a continuous source of energy to maintain your form once you incarnate.

 

Your babies are born with a measure of energy, and that energy is designed to last them a lifetime of existence in this world. The energy is taken, at least partially, from the mother's body, from the mother's blood, from the mother's cells, from the mother's nutrients and all the parts of the mother's body. It is given to the baby, and that baby is given a "write in" that says you can live this long on the earth, you have that much energy to keep you.

 

When you have a high principality that self-incarnates, it just materializes in this world. How long they can keep it up, I honestly do not know.

 

Did anybody here see the movie called Beloved? That is what the story is about. Actually, I did a commentary on it. It is supposed to be a true story. I am sure it was fictionalized. It took place in the South in the early 1900's. I may have the year wrong. Apparently, some spiritual being, not a spirit now, but a spiritual being, a whole entity, self-incarnated, appeared as a human woman, worked her way into this family, and did great damage in the family. I could send you the book.

 

I did a commentary on it, and you all know Oprah Winfrey, right? She has a book of the month club, this was one of her books of the month, and she made a movie out of it. It was a production of one of her companies that made the movie. I sent her that commentary several times, but she did not want any part of it. Please send an e-mail to Living Epistles so we will remember to send you the book. The book, the movie, and my commentary are called Beloved.

 

The principle is that once the entity self-incarnates, it has to gain energy to stay in existence. It gains energy by doing evil and by seducing people to do evil. That was what the woman was after. She went in and destroyed the family. I will send you the book anyway.

 

This is Verse 4. "And there were some that were very grieved within themselves and they said, YKVK, Jehovah, has condemned this woman for burning incense, which activity brings Satan into existence." That is the problem with burning incense. That is why it is a crime to burn incense because it brings Satan into existence. When the Levitical priests burn incense, it invokes Jehovah. At least, it did before Jesus was on the scene. It invoked Jehovah.

 

When you go into a Pentecostal service, or a Baptist service, or any service where there is a manifestation of the Spirit of God, or when you go into church you anticipate a manifestation of the Spirit of God, and people start praising and praying and singing. Actually, what you are doing is invoking the Holy Spirit.

 

You are invoking Him, you are calling Him down, you are drawing Him down, you are calling out to Him, and He is responding to you. Actually, I should not be saying "Him" because the Holy Spirit is a female manifestation of God. I have explained that to you here. That is how we attract the Holy Spirit.

 

We constitute a Shekinah. We call her down to ourselves by praising, by praying intercessory-type prayers, singing, and calling out to her, but we do not call the male that way. That is not how we call down Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus is called down by these deep studies. Christ Jesus is the intellect of God. He responds to our questions. Any question, even if you just look at this translation and say, "Lord, I do not understand a word of it. Would you teach me?" That is going to draw Him down. That draws down Christ Jesus, the male. He wants us to talk to Him.

 

Verse 5: "For it might have been sold for more than 300 pence and have been given to the poor, and they murmured against her." That was the King James Translation. The Greek word translated, "might have been," it is just the word, "to be," so we are translating it as, "is it."

 

The word "poor," now this Greek word translated poor, it could be translated "beggar, frightened." I think I mentioned this last night. The suggestion is the person that is not joined to Christ Jesus to a degree of faith for his safety in this world is a very frightened person. One of the goals the Lord has for us is to cast out all fear. We are told that perfect love cast out all fear, but we do not have perfect love. I do not know anybody that has love perfected.

 

What does it mean, "love perfected?" God is love. Is Christ in me perfected? Is Christ in me fully married to the Glorified Jesus Christ? Is Christ Jesus totally covering over my carnal mind? No, so sometimes I have fear, but I also have Christ, so when I am afraid I rebuke it. I take Christ as a weapon, and I fight the thoughts of my carnal mind. I rebuke it.

 

I do my best to find out what God wants me to do, and I do my best to do it. I ask Him to help me, and I try not to tolerate fear. If I get sick, I hope I never get sick again in my life, but if I do, I do the best I can to stay calm and I say, "Lord, what do you want me to do?" At least this is my relationship with the Lord.

 

Everybody may not have this relationship at this time. "Do I need a doctor? Do you want me to go to a doctor or should I not go?" He answers me. I know one time I knew I had pneumonia. I knew that I had pneumonia. I had a bad cold, and I had gone out to a shop. I was fine when I walked in there. By the time I left, I knew I had pneumonia. I said, "Lord, what do you want me to do?"

 

XXXXX is probably not going to be happy with this advice from a medical point of view, but He said to me, "Get into bed and put a heating pad on your chest." That is not how you treat pneumonia, right XXXXX? I got into bed, I put a heating pad on my chest, I fell asleep, and when I woke up I did not have pneumonia. You see, the issue is obedience.

 

Did the heating pad heal pneumonia? Anybody listening to this message, do not use a heating pad if you know you have pneumonia. Go to a doctor, okay. My relationship with the Lord is such that He is the God of my health. That is one of the places that I am very strong in Him. I am not equally strong in all areas of faith, but that is the deal He gave me. I could take that chance because of the relationship in this area. Anybody else, if you have pneumonia, please go to the doctor.

 

First you say, "Jesus, what should I do?" Then you go to the doctor, okay. Everybody got that straight? God bless you.

 

That was the translation of the word "beggar." This is the significance of the word "poor," and it is also the significance of the word "beggar." The person does not have to be financially poor, although he might be financially poor. In the United States we have the expression "the poor little rich girl." Do you have that expression here? It is someone who is very rich, but they are very lonely, and unloved, and nothing goes right in their life, but they have a lot of money. To be poor does not have to mean financial poor, but it can.

 

Then we have an untranslated word. This is another important word that was not translated, Strong's #3646, and it means "a wholly consumed sacrifice." We are translating it, "a used up person." We have that expression in the United States too, someone who is used up. All their energy is gone. They are just broken by life. They just cannot stand on their feet. They are sick, they have no money, they are divorced or widowed, just utterly consumed.

 

They are really like the beggar in the account of Lazarus and the rich man. He was just ready to check out. The energy that he came into the world with was used up. That is how we are translating it, "a used up person."

 

The Greek word translated "sold" can be translated "sold into slavery," so we are using it like that.

 

I prayed about this concept of three hundred pence, and I could not find anything significant in the number three hundred. I think what the verse is really saying is that the woman was not worth anything. In the United States we say, "You are not worth two cents," so that is how I translated it with the U. S. idiom. I am convinced that is what it means.

 

They murmured against Him. This word "murmur" signifies witchcraft because the Serpent murmurs. The witch doctors murmur, or the witches murmur in incantations. The word "murmur" suggests witchcraft prayers. At the very least, we could say they criticized Jesus, but there was a hatred behind the criticism. It was really designed to destroy Him. That is the word used, "witchcraft." They used witchcraft against Him.

 

It was not so much the words that they said, but the hatred and the intent to destroy that was coming from their heart. I just have a reference for you here. 1 John 4:18; "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear has torment, and he that feareth is not made perfect in love." That is not a one point judgment. From minute to minute, from second to second, from challenge to challenge, from crisis to crisis, we are either made perfect in love, or we are not made perfect in love. We can overcome fear in one area for one day and not overcome it another day.

 

At this point nobody is in perfection, but fear does suggest a lack of Jehovah's perfection. As soon as we entertain the fear, and we do not resist it, the carnal mind comes up, the Christ mind goes under, and we have cut ourselves off from the protection of the Lord, because we have entertained the fear. We have agreed with it. We have to fight it. You have to fight that fear. You have to rebuke it and command it to leave you.

 

In my case, to get it to leave me, I have to get into a deep study like this. I found that I could rebuke it all day long, and it does not go away, but when I get into my Christ mind it just disappears, because fear is only in the carnal mind. Whatever you do to get in the Christ mind, do it. I know June plays an instrument. Sometimes you can do it with just deep concentration on your work.

 

Fear is in your emotions, and it can be controlled if your mind is strong enough. You can force it to go away. Sometimes, even physical exercise helps. You have just got to get your mind someplace else, but it is very important that we do not tolerate it, because Christ cannot move in fear.

 

Alternate Translation of Mark 14:5. "Is it possible that this frightened used up person who was sold into spiritual slavery a long time ago is worth more than two cents?" This is how Simon and Judas criticized Jesus, out of a spirit of envy. A spirit of envy is a spirit of witchcraft. Envy arises out of Satan. Some sins arise out of Leviathan, which is pride, but other sins arise out of Satan. It is difficult to distinguish them, but envy is one sin that comes out of Satan. We know that the Scripture says that envy is rottenness to the bones. Envy destroys. Envy kills.

 

Alternate Amplified Translation of Mark 14, Verses 4 and 5. I interspersed them. "And there were some that were very grieved within themselves, and they said, is it possible that this frightened used up person who was sold into spiritual slavery a long time ago is worth more than two cents? In addition YKVK, Jehovah, has condemned this woman for burning incense which brings Satan into existence." This is how Simon and Judas criticized Jesus, out of a spirit of envy.

 

I would like to read you all three verses now, Mark 14, Verses 3 to 5. Then if you still want to stay until 9:00 P.M. I will start on the secondary verses. If nobody says anything, I am going to keep on going.

 

The Alternate Amplified Translation of Mark 14, Verses 3 through 5. "And at the time that Jesus formed a soul tie with Simon, that prideful Pharisee, who was lying down spiritually, a woman appeared who was burning incense to an alabaster statue. Satan, the spiritual head of the woman, was controlling the woman through the alabaster statue."

 

When Jesus' sinless soul shined upon the woman, completely crushing Satan and breaking up Satan's spiritual marriage to the woman, there were some that were very grieved within themselves, and they said, "Is it possible that this frightened used up person who was sold into spiritual slavery a long time ago is worth more than two cents?"

 

In addition, YKVK, Jehovah, has condemned this woman for burning incense which brings Satan into existence. This is how Simon and Judas criticized Jesus, out of a spirit of envy.

 

Secondary verses of Mark 14, Verses 6 through 9, King James. Jesus said, "Let her alone; why trouble ye her? She hath wrought a good work on me. For ye have the poor with you always and whensoever you will, you may do them good, but me, ye have not always. She has done what she could. She has come aforehand to anoint my body for the burying. Verily, I say unto you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her." That was the King James.

 

Starting with Verse 6, And Jesus said, "Let her alone; why trouble ye her? She hath wrought a good work on me." The Greek word translated "let alone" can also be translated, "to forgive or to send forth." In other words, to send your sins away. We are going to translate it "liberate" in this verse.

 

I have another case word translated "Why, YKVK," and I just have to believe that is the way the Lord wants it. This English phrase "trouble ye" is a translation of two Greek words. The first Greek word is Strong's #2873 and it means "to cut." The second Greek word is Strong's #3930 which means "to hold near, or to keep, or to guard."

 

The Greek word translated "good" means "beautiful." Beautiful is one of the names for the sefirot Tiferet. That is the perfectly balanced sefirot. That signifies Jehovah, the perfect balance of all the negative and positive human aspects. Jesus, in His perfection was a manifestation of Tiferet, perfect balance. Not only the perfect balance, but the permanently integrated perfect balance. He never pulled apart, the integration never separated. The left and the right columns never separated. His sefirot was perfectly formed. This is what we have in Christ Jesus.

 

I do not know if you know that the Hebrew Kabbalists meditate. The Hebrew Kabbalists have meditated for years. I teach philosophical Kabbalah. I do not do any meditation, or numerology, or anything like that. The Jewish Kabbalists mediate and there are Christian Kabbalists, and most of them meditate. The purpose in their meditation is to control their mind and to pull the elements of their mind together in tune. Actually, what is the sefirot? In that integrated state, it is their hope that they will receive revelation from God.

 

Whenever I talk about this, my heart burns for them, because in Christ Jesus it is done for us. These Kabbalists struggle, and they have to do mental exercises and sit silently in a chair. It is a whole ritual that they go through to put themselves in a trance to get to a spiritual place where, hopefully, they will get revelation from God.

 

All someone has to do today is pick up one of our messages. Actually, there are a lot of preachers today that have revelation in the Word. Of course, it is not on this level. I do not know anybody else that has it on this level.

 

My point is, the spirit of revelation is in the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ is the perfectly integrated sefirot. It can never unravel. It can never unravel. If we have Christ, we have the perfect integration of mind to hear from God in whatever way He wants to speak to us.

 

The Kabbalists today still sit in their chairs, struggling to control their mind and bring the forces, the left and the right forces together in their mind, and integrate them by a conscious will of mental effort when it is already done for us. What a shame, what a complete shame. I want to tell you though, when I discovered this, it gave me an appreciation for Christ that I never had before. I never really understood that, that was what Christ had done for me.

 

I knew that He was my Savior. I knew that He saved my life. I almost died three times. I know all that. I know that He talks to me, and I know that I have the mind of Christ, and I know that He always talked to me face-to-face. I am a very blessed person, but I never understood what a marvelous, marvelous thing this is that God talks to us.

 

It is amazing that the Jewish Kabbalists do not believe that God talks to us. Even when they get revelation they think it is from an angel. I had a conversation with a rabbi once, and I told him that I prophesy, and he said to me, "Go on and prophesy." It really touched me, because that was exactly what they said to Jesus, the same exact thing. The rabbi said to me, "Go on and prophesy," because he did not believe it was possible that God could speak to me, or that I could have prophecy.

 

I am just so grateful that today, at least, I have a better understanding of what an incredible thing Jesus has done, that you could pray and get an answer like you got. We pray, and we get answers. I never appreciated it to this degree, how blessed we absolutely are. It is really something very special that Jesus has done. He has permanently integrated the left and the right column and given the product of the two to us. Everyone who seeks Him with an honest heart can receive it. That is just marvelous.

 

The Greek word translated "good" means "beautiful," which means "to feel," which we are translating "virtue." The only way we can be virtuous is if the middle column appears in us. When the middle column appears in us, we become virtuous. The Greek word translated "work," we are translating "labor." The Greek word translated "me" can mean either "me or I." We are translating it as "I." The Greek word translated "wrought" also means "to be engaged in labor." The Greek word translated "work" means "labor," the noun, and the word "wrought" means "to be engaged," action verb, "to be engaged in labor."

 

Here is the Alternate Translation of Verse 5. Actually, I do not have an Alternate Translation yet. Here is my comment: "YKVK, Jehovah, brought forth Tiferet, signifying the spiritually bound, this middle column, was in the woman, thus migrating her from a manifestation of the daughter of Babylon to a manifestation of the virtuous wife, as revealed to us in Proverbs."

 

Proverbs 31:10, Ecclesiastes 1:1, is just the Scriptural definition of the person who follows Christ. I guess you could take it for a human woman if you want, but I have always felt this was a spiritual description of the person whose heart is right towards God. I am just going to read you these scriptures. Proverbs 31:10; "Who can find a virtuous woman. Her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband (now this is the Lord) doth safely trust in her so that he shall have no need of spoil. She does not have to be afraid. The Lord trusts us, those of us that are virgins who follow Him everywhere. He does not worry about us turning ourselves over to our carnal mind. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool and flax and worketh willingly with her hands." That is also behavior in the ministry given free of charge.

 

We have a lot of volunteers in the ministry. People work very hard transcribing, editing and mailing. All kinds of people are working for no financial recompense at all, for years.

 

"She is like the merchant ships. She bringeth her food from afar. She rises also while it is yet night and giveth meat to her household and a portion to her maiden." She is serving God even when she is still in her carnal mind. That is what night signifies. "She considers a field and buys it. With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard." She is reading the Scriptures. She is doing whatever she has to do to get Christ planted in her. "She girdeth her loins with strength and strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good. Her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle." That means when the carnal mind comes or reveals itself, her Christ spirit does not disappear.

 

Sometimes we just have to engage in carnal activity. We have to mop the floor, or go to work, or fix your car. This is saying that her candle does not go out. Christ does not disappear when we start concentrating on carnal things. "She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy."

 

Just for your information, I guess people can do that on their own, but if you do not have any opportunity, or the Lord has not directed you to any outlet as how to bless the poor, you should know that when you tithe, that you partake of all of the donations that the ministry gives to the poor. We usually donate up to twenty or more percent of the ministry income to ministries that feed the poor and give medical relief, etc., because we do not do that. We are a small ministry and we teach, so we just support other ministries that do that kind of work. If you want to be prosperous in the Lord, you have to do something for people that have less than you do. As I said, you can do it personally, or you can count your tithe as being the fulfillment of your obligation in that area, unless the Lord specifically tells you otherwise.

 

"She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. (This is all work for the ministry.) Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come." Of course, that is the strength and honor of Christ.

 

"She openeth her mouth with wisdom." That is the man, Christ Jesus. "In her tongue is the law of kindness." That is interesting. I never saw that before. "In her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household." That is the household of God. "She eateth not the bread of idleness." There is always work in the Lord. There is no retirement in God. "Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates."

 

Of course, both physical men and physical women are female to the Lord. For the woman that feareth the Lord could be either a physical man or a physical woman. This whole account is telling us that we do all of these things when we fear the Lord, when we honor the Lord and respect His word. The result is that His nature is born in us, and when His nature is born in us, we do all these things. We become faithful, and manifest the nature of God.

 

Alternate Translation of Mark 14:6. "And Jesus said, YKVK, Jehovah, has forgiven this woman, and cut her away from Satan, the spirit that was controlling her. I am engaged in the spiritual labor of guarding her spiritual virtue." Of course, that spiritual labor is the exposure of her sin nature. Exposing sins whenever they appear is how you guard someone's spiritual virginity. You show them when their mind is going off into the carnal mind.

 

You know, that is what Ham did. That was what Ham was doing for Noah. This concept in the Church that he looked on Noah's physical nakedness, I just do not believe for a second.

 

He looked on Noah's spiritual nakedness. He took one look at Noah, and he saw that Noah's carnal mind had been born again in Noah. He looked at his spiritual nakedness, and he saw that Noah was uncovered, that the imputed Christ was no longer covering Noah. Why? Satan had appeared in Noah's mind, and Noah had agreed with that manifestation, and now Noah was a manifestation of the devil, because the personality that agrees with Satan is the devil.

 

Ham saw it and sounded the alarm, I believe in an attempt to help him. He was calling to his brothers saying, "Look at what happened to dad. Satan overthrew him," but when he looked he saw that Shem and Japheth had been overthrown also. Satan rose up in Noah and cast Ham down and all of his descendants with a powerful curse.

 

Verse 7, King James. "For ye have the poor with you always and whensoever you will you may do them good, but Me you have not always." "Always," we are translating "at all times." "Poor," we are translating "frightened." "To have," we are translating "possess." "To will" is to be "so inclined." The word "may" can be translated "to be able."

 

Alternate Translation of Mark 14:7; "Because I do not always control the frightened, spiritually enslaved peoples of this world who are always dominated by the spiritual powers within themselves, but you are able to do good whenever you are so inclined, because you have a soul tie with Me."

 

That is the same way as I have heard it preached so many times, and I am sure you have heard it. People in the world do not have choices. There are a lot of people that smoke, for example, who say they can stop whenever they want. They cannot stop. They are bound. Things that we are doing that are destructive to us, we think we can stop, but usually we cannot, but in Christ we have the power to stop. That was what Jesus was telling Simon. He said, "You are condemning this woman. She was doing great evil. She was manifesting witchcraft, calling forth Satan, and she wanted to destroy Me."

 

Jesus looked into her heart, and when He looked into her heart, He saw a woman that was completely bound and incapable of doing otherwise. She was so controlled by this spirit. When He broke the power of that spirit over her, she served Jesus. She served God through Jesus.

 

Jesus was saying to Simon, "You do not have that problem. You have a soul tie with me. That means you have power over all the power of the enemy if you just exercise your will in Christ. Why are you condemning this woman who was completely overtaken and could not do anything to help herself, and you are jealous that I have a soul tie with her? You had the opportunity to overcome, but you did not. She made it and you did not. She got the miracle, but you already had a miracle every day of your life. You have a soul tie with Me, but you did not use your miracle. You did not use that soul tie as a weapon to overcome your pride. Why?"

 

Simon did not even know he had pride. Simon's pride was so high that he was judging Jesus. How would he know he had pride when he is judging Jesus? That is the problem with pride. God hates pride above all sins, because pride blinds you and you cannot see your sin.

 

Someone who commits murder is more easily forgiven, or someone that did this kind of witchcraft is more easily forgiven than someone who manifests pride. That is the problem of the Pharisee. They do not believe they have sin. They think they are okay. They think they are in right standing with God.

 

That is why God hates pride, because it kills people. Pride destroys God's people. Pride is the most serious spiritual crime we can commit, the most serious spiritual problem you can have. If a man can find some humility, he can get before God and cry out to God, and the Lord will meet his need if his heart is pure. The Lord will meet your need, but a man that is bound by pride cannot do that. He cannot cry out to God, and they die in their sin.

 

Alternate Translation of Mark 14:7; "Because I do not always control the frightened, spiritually enslaved people of this world who are always dominated by the spiritual powers within themselves but you, Simon, you are not always dominated by the spiritual powers within yourself. You are able to do good whenever you are so inclined. Just exercise the power that you have in your soul tie with Me. Exercise, wield the power of Christ Jesus, and you can do good whenever you want."

 

This woman was not capable of doing good, and Jesus tried the spirit on her and recognized that. This is where the Church fails, brethren. This is where they fail. The Church, in general, judges people by their outward appearance, but God does not judge people by their outward appearance. He judges the intent of the hearts of men. He judges the motives of people, and looks into their heart, and He sees their potential.

 

If He sees someone with a heart that He can work with, He chooses them. Whenever we see somebody in God that may not have a good job, may not be dressed properly, and maybe they are even dirty, be very careful before you condemn them, because you do not know where they came from. You do not know how long God has been working with them, and you do not know what their potential is.

 

You had better be very careful before you condemn anybody. You should not be condemning anybody. We really should not judge unless the Spirit of the Lord is upon us with a corrective judgment or a judgment to protect our families. If you choose some poor soul over there, be very careful.

 

I know when the Lord first started teaching me this. I was working in Manhattan. I had a secular job at the time and was having lunch on a park bench in the middle of the city. I saw someone who obviously did not work and was homeless. His clothes were dirty and shabby. He was begging. We call them derelicts in New York.

 

The Lord spoke to me and said, "That is a son of God." I could not get it. I really could not get it. I went back to my office, and I said, "Lord, I do not get it. Look at that man. How are you telling me he is a son of God?" I never saw the man after that. I think, today, what the Lord meant was, "That man has the potential to be a son of God. Do not look at his outward appearance. You do not know what happened to him to put him in that condition."

 

People are not usually born homeless. Sometimes they are born homeless, but in New York they are not usually born homeless. It usually happens to you after you are born. Something happened to that man to put him in that condition. The Lord is saying, "Stand neutral."

 

If you see somebody that is in that condition, say a prayer for them and keep on walking, but do not condemn them because one year from now that man could be in a high place. I do not know where he is today. We have to be very careful not to judge people.

 

Verse 7, King James; "For ye have the poor with you always and whensoever you will you may do them good, but me you have not always." "Always," we are translating, "at all times." "Poor," we are translating "frightened." "Have," we are translating "possess."

 

Alternate Translation of Mark 14:7; "Because I do not always control the frightened, spiritually unsaved peoples of this world who are always dominated by the spiritual powers within themselves, but you are able to do good whenever you are so inclined because you have a soul tie with Me."

 

Verse 8 King James; "She has done what she could. She has come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying." The word "what" is a symbol for Elohim. The Greek word translated "could," we are translating "possessing." The Greek word translated, "hath done," means "together." The Greek word translated, "come aforehand," can be translated "in anticipation of." Elohim is possessing her. The Greek word, "hath done," can be translated "to bind together." This is a very important verse, because it is talking about the binding together of the woman's body of sin with Jesus' body of light. This is where we get the words, "bind together." It is another translation of the Greek word translated, "hath done."

 

Elohim is possessing the woman in anticipation of binding her body of sin together with His body of light so that the anointing which prepares the body of sin to be buried under the body of light may be applied. In anticipation of binding, I refer you to Psalms 118:27; "God is the Lord which hath showed us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords even unto the horns of the altar." The sacrifice is our carnal mind, pride is a part of our carnal mind, and Jesus is our altar. We are talking about binding the carnal mind to the Christ mind within us. Praise the Lord.

 

Major aspects of Jesus' doctrine, the binding of the body of sin to the body of light unto the death of the body of sin. Romans 7:24 is a reference to the body of light. "Oh wretched man, that I am! Who shall deliver me from this body of death?" That in us which dies and causes our physical body to die is our mortal foundation which is our carnal mind, our old man. That is the body of death. Before it can be killed, we have to have the body of light built into us, and then that body of death has to die for us to go into immortality. We will be immortal when our immortal foundation sustains our physical life.

 

Then we have the body of sin. That is our reference here. Romans 6 thru 11. "Knowing that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin." The body of sin must be destroyed. Paul was not kidding. It has to be destroyed. That is the only way we are going to stop serving sin, or stop being influenced by sin, or stop being seduced by sin. It has to die.

 

"Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him." This is not a physical death, and we can live with Christ here in the flesh. This is talking about here in the flesh. "Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more, death has no more dominion over him." That is not talking about the Lord Jesus Christ. This is talking about Christ in you and Christ in me, the hope of glory. "Knowing that Christ in you is raised from the dead. He cannot die anymore. Death has no more dominion over Him." I guess he is talking about Christ in the man Jesus.

 

"Christ is raised from the dead, and He dieth no more." Death does not have dominion over him, but if we are pregnant with Christ and our physical body dies, that fetus of Christ does die. Maybe the Scripture is talking about the Lord Jesus because He is the one who cannot die anymore.

 

The Lord Jesus is the one that death has no more dominion over. I have to say that Verse 9 is talking about the Lord Jesus. "For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God." I told you before that Jesus died to death. He died to the existence of death and now He liveth unto God. "Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord."

 

We can only have that experience if Christ is grafted to us. We have to reject the thoughts of our carnal mind and not respond to the evil of our carnal mind. That is how you die to sin. "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof." That is not talking, necessarily, about your physical body. Your mortal body is your mortal mind or your mortal soul. "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal soul that you should obey it in the lusts thereof."

 

Brethren, everything we feel in our body starts in our mind. Any kind of lust is an action of mind that eventually manifests itself through the body. He is saying, "Do not even let the thoughts reign in your mind. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God as those that are alive from the dead and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God."

 

For all of these years I read these scriptures so many times, but it did not hit me until I printed them out for you tonight that what Paul is saying here is what I have been preaching, that your members is talking about your personality. It is the mind that the personality chooses to align herself with. The mind determines whether or not that person will be an expression of the devil or an expression of Christ. The personality chooses the mind. When the personality chooses the mind of Christ, you are on your way to becoming Christ. When the personality chooses to agree with the carnal mind, you are the devil, either for that thought or for that instant or as long as you agree to continue to agree with your carnal mind.

 

That is what Paul is talking about here; "Neither yield your member." He is talking about your personality. "Neither yield your personality as an instrument of unrighteousness unto the sin of your carnal mind, but yield your personality unto God as if you rose from the dead, as if it had already happened to you, as if you are already a live person, and you rose from the dead, and your members or your personality use them as instruments of righteousness unto God, and your carnal mind will begin to atrophy." Then the actual kill will be easier.

 

"For sin shall not have dominion over you, for ye are not under the law, but you are under grace." That Scripture is so misused in the Church, brethren. What it means is that you are under grace, and the sowing and reaping judgment is held in abeyance in the areas in which you are willing to confess your sins after they are revealed to you. The sin has to be revealed to you.

 

If you confess your sin and ask the Lord to remove it, Satan can no longer enforce the sowing and reaping judgment upon you in that area. That is what it means. Sin shall have no dominion over you. Satan shall lose her right to enforce the sowing and reaping judgment upon you in the areas where you are not under the law, but under grace. Those areas are where your sin has been revealed, and you have confessed it. You can be under the law in some areas and under grace in other areas.

 

To think that we are one hundred percent under grace, and we can sin at any time and then just repent is a big mistake. That is what they do in the Catholic Church. They sin, and they go and confess to the priest, and then they go and do it again. That does not work with the Lord. True repentance means a change of heart, a change of nature. True repentance is a heart that really wants to stop doing that sin.

 

They are asking the Lord to change their heart like Jesus changed the heart of the adulterous woman so that she could not do it anymore. That is true repentance. If you are going to repent and go out and do it again tomorrow, you have not truly repented. You may have confessed that the sin is wrong, that what you are doing is wrong, but you have not repented unless you really want to stop and you are crying out to God to help you to stop.

 

"What then, shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace?" "What then, shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace, God forbid." That was what I was just talking to you about. "Know ye not that the longer ye yield yourself servants to obey his servant ye are to whom you obey." That is what I have been preaching.

 

The personality, the mind that you obey, that is the mind that you become a servant to. If you obey Christ, you become His servant and you prosper. If you obey your carnal mind, you become the devil, and Satan is after you as the enforcer of the sowing and reaping judgment. "Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourself servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness."

 

I never knew that Paul was talking about your personality in those verses. "But God be thanked that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart, that form of doctrine which has delivered you." What doctrine? That in Christ Jesus, we have the opportunity to reject the thoughts of the carnal mind and cleave to the thoughts of the Christ mind and the ability to be instructed as to how to distinguish between the two. That is the doctrine that is going to deliver us.

 

He then made free from sin. You became the servants of righteousness, being free from your sin nature, by faith, through cleaving with the will of your mind through what you have been taught is the righteous thought process of Christ. You have to be taught to distinguish. You must be taught to distinguish between the thoughts of the Christ mind and the thoughts of the carnal mind so that we can have the choice. When we choose Christ over the carnal mind, we become servants of righteousness.

 

Alternate Amplified Translation, Mark 14 Verse 8; "Elohim is possessing the woman in anticipation of binding her body of sin together with My body of light, so that the anointing which prepares the body of sin to be buried under the body of light may be applied." All I could think about when I read that was the notes that you dug up on Egypt and the preparation of the physical body for death. I said, "What a perversion that is of this spiritual reality, that the body of sin has to be prepared for death by the anointing of the body of light or as the ancient Egyptians anointed the physical body with oils and herbs and they tried to preserve it."

 

I know that everything Satan does is a counterfeit of something that the Lord does. When I read this translation, I said, "This is what the Egyptian mystery religion is mimicking. They are trying to bury the physical body so that the soul can resurrect." That is very interesting.

 

Verse 9; "Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her." I compared this verse to the corresponding verse in Matthew. I compared it in the Interlinear Text, and it is exactly the same. I am just repeating that. Verse 9. "I am telling you the truth, wherever this gospel of Christ is preached anywhere in the world, it will also be taught how I bound the woman's carnal mind, punished Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, brought Leviathan, the subconscious part of the carnal mind into submission and trained Cain, the conscious animal nature of the carnal mind to submit to Abel."

 

Alternate Translation of Mark 14 Verses 6 thru 9. "And Jesus answered them saying, YKVK, Jehovah, has forgiven this woman and cut her away from Satan, the spirit that was controlling her. And I am engaged in the spiritual labor of guarding her spiritual virtue because I do not always control the frightened, spiritually enslaved people of this world, who are always dominated by the spiritual powers within themselves. But you are able to do good whenever you are so inclined because you have a soul tie with me."

 

That is a powerful statement. Jesus is saying this to the whole Church, "You can do good whenever you are so inclined. You have the power to resist any evil thought that comes into your mind and rebuke it and chase it. Therefore, there is no excuse." That is a heavy word. "Elohim is possessing the woman in anticipation of binding her body of sin together with My body of light so that the anointing which prepares the body of sin to be buried under the body of light may be applied. I am telling you the truth. Whenever this gospel of Christ is preached anywhere in the world, it will also be taught how I bound this woman's carnal mind, punished Satan, the unconscious part of the carnal mind, put Leviathan, the subconscious part of the carnal mind into submission and trained Cain, the conscious animal nature of the carnal mind, to submit to Abel.

 

The follow up Verse 10 says, "And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve went unto the chief priest to betray him unto them." The Book of John tells us that Judas was present. After Jesus told him off, he went out to betray Him.

 

We finished all of Mark, and it is exactly 9:00 P.M. Praise the Lord. Are there any questions or comments before we shut off the message?
