ARTS CAN CHANGE OUR DNA

Depending on the kind of music you like and listen to you are reflecting what is already inside. People who went through wars and all sorts of troubles they like peaceful music, for it calms their nerves. 

The entire living creation is made of genes, which do remember. Defensive instincts in animals do not come only from the brain, used to coordinate an animal's moves, but from DNA, which dictates that defensive behavior.  

The horrors and ravages of war have influenced human DNA; twisting and turning each molecule via nerves. Life threatening events cause fear. Soldiers involved in a direct combat act on a chemical called adrenaline, which the human system pumps into the bloodstream. This euphoric state, mixed with fear and bravado, blocks the sometimes paralyzing function of fear. In the adrenaline-induced state one can die, like a drug-addict overdosing.    

No matter how much one tries to suppress fear it is secreted in our DNA, but this can be changed. Arts help us cope with these adverse elements. Poetry, theater, symphonic music, piano concertos, films, especially comedies, do eliminate certain types of stress. But, that is God's provision for people who know nothing higher. There is a better way for people of a different caliber. 

Listen to music and Bible teachings. Let your mind immerse itself in another realm, a more peaceful realm, which, contrary to our predecessors' wild imaginations and ideas heaven is indeed one glorious realm of peace. - There was never any war nor ever will be. 

If heaven went through upheavals and some type of a war and God asks us to trust Him... to have His peace... to rely on Him... etc., than what sort of a realm should we think of? A realm where wars and upheavals are as common as those down below? If heaven is not different from our realm then we are doomed without any hope for something better. Yet, it is ingrained in our psyche to make a better world and to improve our lives; so where did this idea of heavenly wars come from?   

We can train our DNA; for anything living in the presently living person does remember; and when we practice this new knowledge and make ourselves aware of the better me, better you and the better tomorrow; then eventually we change the behavior of our genes

THE FOLK YOU KNOW
I know that many of you don't care either way, Satan, devil, fallen angels, etc., it does not concern you, but there are many a church folk who take it seriously and dogmatically. Yet, it is that fear, and spook that brings them to the point of choosing the life eternal, which Jesus offered, over the Hell, the church also preaches. Then, they close their eyes and fall asleep in peace hoping for the resurrection from the dead on the Last Day. And that's okay. They got only one part of the message and God will see to it that they won't be judged according to their ignorance. And that is the most glorious love of the Creator. 

Others have a much higher call. But are you one for them?

RETURN TO THE LIGHT OF TRUTH

In the New Jerusalem after the great judgment day, we shall enjoy only light and there shall be no need for moon and stars for darkness shall be no more. Without darkness time itself also ceases; for the night (with its darkness) is the actual measure of time.

Picture a lost traveler in the Sahara desert exhausted from heat, dehydrated and delirious who suddenly sees a mirage - an oasis: He runs toward it, but never finds what he thinks he beholds. Does that mean that an oasis is non-existent? – Of course not, for an oasis exists and is real, only not at that particular location and time. It is a play of mind that makes someone believe the imagined object was real, an illusion of sought-after substance.

Ignoring the Creator can be dangerous, especially when your ancestors carry genes marked by the everlasting covenant, like the one God made with Abraham. So many people, and quite unaware so, carry these genes. Even if there is one tiny DNA strand echoing that eternal covenant with Israel; that one DNA strand beckons you back to the One who created you. It is important to understand that the seeking and finding of the lost sheep of Israel has something to do with this.

Some desire to join this covenant, but only to extract the financial blessings from it, as if they had a choice. They pick and choose having no covenant with the real God, but rather with the god of their own choice, this is what the pagan nations have done this in the past and continue to do to this today.

When you carefully examine the scriptures, long before Abraham, God made a covenant with Adam. God even made a covenant with Cain and for that reason He appointed him a sign. Based on these covenants each DNA strand, or gene beckons one to return as it were. None of the pre-Abrahamic people returned except Noah. Nonetheless, has the Creator of all things lose His rights just because we embrace another god called Evolution or the Big Bang? Consider that the fulfilling of your inner peace may be dependent on the decision to return to God the Creator and stop picking what suits your natural man.

In the flood the Lord did not destroy illusion, but its missionaries, the wicked people. No wonder that we shall be judged separately from God's angels. No wonder that Ananias and Sapphira fell dead at the feet of Peter. No wonder that the unclean spirits and souls of the dead with their evil images and seducing lusts were transferred from the possessed man into the herd of swine, and again, as in Noah's time were destroyed in water.

MY STORY

I grew up in Poland in a city of Łódź. My mother worked as a nurse and my father was a tailor.  He did most of his work from home and it was him who attended to the needs of us children (one daughter and three sons). I was a somewhat troubled child, often encountering nightmares and it was my dad who would come into my room, calm me down and put me back to sleep after I had been awakened by another disturbing dream. My oldest half brother, the son of my father’s first wife, was miraculously saved during the Siberian exile where his mother died when he was a baby. Stalin, in his paranoia, was ‘cleansing the mother Russia’ by killing and exiling millions of people. The frozen wastelands of Siberia were used to house the criminals and all those deemed as ‘enemies of the state’—the rich and the prominent. Most of these people died from disease whilst the younger ones were put through the communist ideological brainwashing program.

My brother was found at the age of seven, seemingly by accident, he was no longer normal, for not only was he brainwashed to the point of calling Stalin his actual father, but he was also abused and often intoxicated with ‘Samogon’—the Russian home-brew vodka, which in many cases proved to be poisonous.

As is often the case between siblings, my older brother liked to antagonize me with his many pranks. I guess both his weak nerves and my own fragile nature created an atmosphere that had a somewhat negative effect on my nightly rest. The stories of WW II and how my parents managed to survive, the secret police spying on my father’s activities etc., were too much for me to bear. Nightmares and restless nights were the result.

During my puberty years I lacked the guidance of someone to educate and instill within me a positive understanding that it was God Himself who made me function the way I did. Actually anything to do with sexuality I perceived as bad, unclean, and downright demonic. Slowly this mixture of false ideas and mental imaginations turned into an emotional nitroglycerin and I was afraid to fall asleep.

I saw snakes, scorpions and demons and one day I had a most dreadful dream; I found myself falling into an abyss hearing screams like “there is no God!” “There is no salvation!” “No heaven!” I was being dragged down into flames and dense smoke by most horrifying creatures. Sometimes when I slept in a cot I perplexedly fell to the ground and the bed flipped over and landed on top of me. Drenched in sweat, trembling and greatly terrified I remained on the floor.

I remember one distressed night I imagined that ‘Lucifer’ himself entered my room. It felt as if I was awake, yet what was taking place could not be rationally explained. Standing in the doorway this creature was talking to me in an audible voice. He wore a sombrero type of hat, a long black raincoat and in his hand he held a cane. Back in Poland we call such a cane ‘shpitzroot’. With a gargling voice he said, “sing and play ‘rock ‘n roll’ for me.” I shouted, ‘NEVER!’ and threw a table at him chasing him until he passed through a bolted door. As I hurriedly tried to open the locks I heard his footsteps on the other side. Once I finally managed to open the door; I realized that I had been dreaming again.

As time passed by I experienced very little change in my life. All that I had been told about the ‘devil’ alongside my parents’ awful discomforting stories of war had a profound effect on my life to the point where I decided to search for the truth on my own. From that point on I spent a lot of time in prayer and became an avid student of the Bible. I was desperate for any information that might bring not only liberation, but also a real true peace. All the doctrines I had heard about demons, Satan, the devil and such as the casting down of a third of his angels had greatly influenced my conscious and subconscious thinking and had gripped me with fear.

In all of this the Bible remained my comfort. I found it easy to identify myself with King David and the Book of Psalms. But I was yet to learn that David’s enemies weren’t demons or some nightmarish creatures (as they had been for me), but flesh-and-blood people.

After I saturated my soul with God’s comfort, one night I said; “Lord I come under your wings of mercy.” - All of a sudden a flash of revelation penetrated my mind - like a beam of light illuminating a dark room. Bible verses started to come alive: You will not be afraid of the terror by night, or of the arrow that flies by day (Psalms 91:5). Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Thy wings (Psalms 17:8). Let me dwell in Thy tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Thy wings (Psalms 61:4).

There was the night of my breakthrough; once more I was awakened and disturbed in my sleep, but the Psalms took hold of my spirit and I was able to quote them. I placed my trust in the All-Mighty One and His words just rolled over and I went to sleep in total peace. This was the beginning of my awakening to the truth. Illusion gradually disappeared and only truth remained.

Today I cannot substantiate any of my claims to my former visions. I cannot confirm the particular hell which I saw, neither do I want you to believe in those snakes and scorpions that I saw crawling all over me. For instance, I cannot claim that Lucifer is real just because I saw his image and believed that it was the figure which we have come to understand as Lucifer in our modern Christian thinking, in fact, I am convinced that Lucifer—as we understand him nowadays—does not even exist.

What I saw was the result of mind-seducing stories, passed on from mouth to mouth, as well as fantasies of heavenly struggles, which originated in the pagan world from Egypt to Assyria, Babylon, Greece and Rome. This mixture of pagan plurality and Jewish duality was reprocessed through the Gnostic movement. Consequently, fantasies of heavenly wars landed in the New Testament and Christian theology recycled them again until they finished up in all-night prayer battles called ‘spiritual warfare’.

Since knowledge is always increasing, its newly formed frame can no longer hold the old picture. The old frame, painted by means of symbols and metaphors of the ancient mind, is far too small to contain the big futuristic picture. The human mind is too frail to comprehend God’s full, direct and sudden revelation therefore He graciously gives us gradual revelation.

Daniel, when he saw the future - although just a fragment - had gotten sick and stayed in bed for days, simply because it was too much to bear. On Mount Sinai, while still receiving God’s commandments, Moses was slowly being changed by the brightness of Gods glory; and had he stayed a little longer he would have most likely turned into that very light which he was absorbing. When Moses came down from the mountain his body was literally shining.

The determination of a person’s physical state depends on the type of information one receives. If the information is spiritually uplifting the receptor is also uplifted, just as Moses was. But, if it is negative and frightening, it can make one mentally and physically sick.

The condition of our health depends on the type of information that passes through our mind and soul and the inspiration we derive therefrom. Judging from my current activities I am convinced that God in His Sovereignty prepared me for this present-day revelation. Now I know that for the sake of clarity and understanding I had to go through a shaping process to be liberated from the seducing arm of the flesh.

This book aims to take pagan beliefs out of your mind—as seducing and frightening as they can be—and replace them with God’s peace, perfect confidence by trusting in His absolute sovereignty. I pray that God, through this book, provides you with clarity and the opportunity to have your faith in Him strengthened.

Something new is often hard to swallow, for often outdated theological structures become strongholds in people’s minds; obstacles that prevent many from coming directly to the Father. "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from men; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in” (Matthew 23:13).

Only the spiritual principality has changed: instead of the Jewish Pharisaic spirit we have the Christian equivalent today. The controlling instrument this spirit of religion exercises over timid folk must be challenged so that we may become as brand-new wineskins (Matthew 9:16-17).

TRUTH FOUND IN GENES

TRUTH & ILLUSION THE LAST REFORMATION 
BOOK EXCERPTS

As we will later explain in greater detail, Cain lied to God after he killed Abel; therefore, he is the first liar the first devil. The beginning of which Jesus spoke in John 8:44 is none other than the Book of Genesis for this is the subject of His discussion with the Judeans. And that is the honest and plain truth that can’t be twisted in any way.  
[John 8:44] The devil (…) was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies (and of liars).
Jesus spoke of Abraham. Denoting the fact that those who had claimed to be of the patrimonial line of Abraham were actually of another line—from Cain. (The tribe of Kenites joined Judah [Judges 1:16] helping Judah survive.) As a reminder, Abraham’s genealogical line comes from Seth who was called Abel’s replacement son. The discussion is not about spirits, flames and winds, but the flesh-and-blood devil, which is Cain and his angels (figure of speech) or followers.
 
In his letter John speaks again of the same kind of beginning. (No one knows when God created the angels. Just as no one knows God’s beginnings. He has none. But the Book of Genesis we do know for it is the beginning of the Bible, therefore also of any knowledge about God.)
[1 John 3:8] the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.
The truth is not only detected here, but it stands on the hill with wide-open arms. Why embracing mystery and the seductive play of a corrupt mind when a straightforward truth is given?
 
When the initial stages of reformation are complete other stages will follow. After the third stage; and after all things are clear; and any remaining superstitious elements are removed; one then rests. In that rest one begins to redirect one’s thoughts and emotions. After those two factors are established one begins to better understand God and His kingdom, which results in spiritual growth and real experiences with God, just as those great biblical figures did.
 
Unhindered calm, and sound mind helps us reach the heights of God’s holiness and to overcome any obstacle. Eventually one will part with any sin-consciousness, and then stops hurting self and others. Pride melts, and the earthly self-identity with all its material and passing attachments fades away. One receives a clear mind and a pure heart. One then is born of the Spirit and begins to move like wind. No one can control such, or define with any standardized or organized formats, religious or other kinds. Those who are born of God sin no more for they are not even able to sin (1 John 5:18). The one of whom they were conceived and brought forth, as God’s sons and daughters, He (the Spirit) keeps them. 

We become like angels again, but triumphant and glorious because we have overcome many, if not all obstacles, which are our physical bodies and the material in which we live

TRUE and FALSE PERCEPTIONS

[1 John 3:21] But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.

God's perception is TRUE. Anything we do to impress, does not affect Him at all for these are reflections of immaturity, empty, fading away images and self-made illusions.

The world is the way we perceive it therefore it can change according to the knowledge our intellect can grasp, be it true or false, filled with suffering or well-being.  Also our visions - the way we view things - can be of God or of our own selves: they are either true or a mere illusion. It is important to learn to differentiate between truth and illusion, to lay the foundation for further knowledge. Foe example a vision can be self-made or God-made, or God given, like the one God gave to Peter in Joppa, one is true the other may be illusion. One represents something true, which God tries to make us aware of, while the other self-induced only to satisfy the cravings of self and ego. I know about it because I went through it. I have learned to distinguish between anything self-made and God-made. But before we go any further we must differentiate between truth and illusion.

1. Truth is eternal, real, tangible and perceivable. It will never pass away.

2. Whatever remains is true, therefore as real as life itself.

3. Whatever passes away and disappears is an illusion.

4. Truth is the light and is always triumphant; it stands firm and does not need to hide for it is THE positive force. A lie seeks to hide in darkness for it is always insecure.

5. Light remains forever while darkness is temporary and its mission is to emphasize, or sharpen the light.

6. Truth is eternal and it alone is THE REALITY.

7. Truth never fails.

7. A lie puts on garments of truth in order to mislead.

8. It is the Spirit of truth that recognizes darkness disguised as light or anything that appears to be true on the surface whose inner content is false.

9. Illusion is also created for entertainment and never to be taken seriously. It is there for those with a sense of humor and with the ability to think abstractly.

10. Children play with illusion in their imaginations until they mature; that is when the true or real appearance or character of things replaces the figments of their imagination. Therefore illusion is there for a purpose.

Truth can never be bent to suit an ego or satisfy vain ambitions; hence, God does not answer many people’s prayers - for the fulfillment of one’s desires might only be detrimental. God is love, which means He cares and knows better. We must worship in the Spirit of Truth, but our tendency is to worship in places and then we tend to venerate those places above other places, which results in vain competitions (John 4:22-24). Such competitions are never of the Truth, but rather self and ego. God knows all distances and time plays no role in His mind. He sees it all at once. Sometimes He allows even little children to die for an inexplicable reason; He knows the future; we don’t. Jesus said in John 18:37b, “Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Many people are so filled with denials, craftiness and scheming that they don’t even know themselves; they indeed grope in darkness; they are not of the truth, but of illusion, one might call them habitual liars. Those who are of the truth and walk in the truth walk in light, for they have nothing to hide.  The question then arises: Am I of the truth?

KNOWING GOD IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH

There is no way that we would ever become independent from God. Whether we like it or not, we exist because of Him (Acts 17:28). No matter how much we want to believe that we are completely self-determined creatures, the fact remains: we are wholly dependent on Him. We must study Him and see Him as He really is, we must start to recognize the truth about Him.

Most people entertain ludicrous ideas about God. They view God as some cosmic being, cold and distant therefore often placed in a category of unfamiliar power. Too often people’s approach to God is sci-fi like (Science-Fiction), or ritualistic, because religion taught them so.  In their mind God is distant, angry and constantly busy punishing us. God has been portrayed as the one who expects or even demands our bowing, fasting, kneeling, candles, incense, special incantations, somber singing, serious faces etc. The worshiper cannot approach God except with some special prayer book and only with some specifically formulated words.  Every religion of the world deals with such habits and rituals.

True knowledge about God liberates. He who truly KNOWS has no fear at all for he knows that he is accepted and free to commune with God the Father. Only duality, even pluralities of ideas separate us from the one God; and these ideas indeed create a cold distance between God and man.

Is God so mysterious and so far from us that we must guess who He might be? As far as I’m concerned I was not born to speculate. Guessing is an acceptable strategy before being familiar with more complex mathematics but once your understanding of mathematics matures, guessing then becomes dispensable. You will not pass a math exam by guessing.                                                     

As you can see we are approaching a verification of knowledge and the demonstration of its power, without which it is all a put-on religious show. This kind of illusion loses steam these days anyway. People have already started to think for themselves and stand on their own two feet, they seek the truth they have discovered the desire to learn the truth and many seek it. They find it in the God-given logic. Any blind beliefs begin to fall off as our spiritual IQ rises.

IN SPIRIT & TRUTH

False beliefs and suppositions came to us in a beautiful package of religious indoctrination. Anything well organized tends to organize some more, like a noose around our neck; it becomes tighter and tighter until it cuts off the heavenly flow of blood to our brains. Our hearts grow cold and then the spiritual man dies. Here you have the answer. Ritual religion kills personal and affectionate relationship with our heavenly Father. A cold and fearful heart is not fit to accept the new knowledge; first it must be broken like a stone, and then a new heart out of flesh must be created. I pray that a new heart, new knowledge and fresh revelation would captivate your imagination to the point that any other 'image' you might have made, or still are busy making, would become a true one; that any notion about God would proceed from the actual knowing.

It has been God's way allowing us to accept the mixture of both the false and true and of the imperfect in order to replace it with the absolute Truth later on. This day has finally arrived.

    [John 4:24] “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”


Truth will never change or disappear simply because it dwells in the unchangeable realm. Unlike the time oriented things on earth the Truth is not subject to changes, modifications or alterations. Water and air does not rut it. Time does not crumble nor makes it rot. God changes not, therefore His truth remains unchanged. It is to the Truth we must cling to and subject ourselves; otherwise we will be tossed like a dead leaf by every wind of doctrine.

The knowledge of truth produces freedom. What follows is true liberty, which is provided by no one else, but the Spirit of Truth the Holy Spirit.

    [John 16:13] “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.”


Truth will never change nor disappear simply because it dwells in the unchangeable realm. Unlike time-oriented things on earth the Truth is not subject to changes, modifications or alterations; it does not crumble with time. God changes not, therefore His truth remains unchanged. It is to the Truth we must cling to and subject ourselves; otherwise we will be tossed like a dead leaf by every wind of doctrine.

    [John 16:13] “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.”


THE SEAL OF TRUTH

Once you take hold of the truth you will never let go, for you shall be sealed with the seal of God Himself. The angels see the Seal of Truth and respect it. Angels cannot respect confusion or mixtures; they are appointed by God to look for the “sealed with the truth ones” in order to guard them from harm, for these are truly God’s emissaries.

Truth liberates us from falsehood (John 8:32). Truth convicts us of sin and righteousness (John 16:8). Truth sanctifies us and sets us apart (John 17:17). Truth is given to us in pledge and seals us for the day of the final redemption (Ephesians 1:13-14). There are two redemptions, the payment and possession. Jesus paid for us already, and soon He will come again to possess that for which He already paid.

    [Revelations 9:3-4] Then out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were told not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.


Truth is the reality because it is not subject to change or corruption. Being sealed with the truth is to walk with a mind dipped in the heavenly realm.

Illusion is temporary and it functions only in this domain of time. Outside of this physical and time-restricted realm illusion is nonexistent. Therefore, those that walk according to the flesh carry illusory properties, which can be easily taken advantage of. Those that walk according to the Spirit, not only do not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, they sin not and carry no illusory properties, but rather God’s truth.

LANGUAGES and ILLUSION

ILLUSION, LANGUAGES & NIGHTMARES

If God’s sons were the fallen angels that supposedly taught us how to sin and play with witchcraft then heaven succumbs to evil and uncleanness and is not pure, peaceful, but as evil as the earth is. Unfortunately – to those who have first polluted their own thoughts – and fortunately to those who have received this wonderful grace to recognize the source of these pollutants. Anyone who is serious about God and the way He made all things would not settle for any alternatives. Thank God that these are only vain human imaginations, which are so far withdrawn from the Truth as the sun is from the earth or even farther. I, for one, am a very privileged man, although since childhood I suffered from nightmares until my 30’s. Many nightmares were brought on by the faulty, careless and senseless yet common expressions, like “Who the devil you are? Get the hell out of here. The devil himself only knows…” Fairy tales told to children seduce the imaginations quite early in life; and they did mine. Fools fell prey to it and our literature is filled with this unexplained quicksand.  

I have seen serpents and scorpions crawling all over me. I often was falling into an abyss and hell, screaming, trembling, unable to get up in the morning. I was an exhausted young man. The moment I fully repented I received special grace and then the purging of my conscious and subconscious mind had started. Ten years later, after my 40-day fast on water only I received the revelation of self-nullification, which first ushered me into a place of many questions about the split universe, light and darkness. I went further searching for the complete truth.

It happened during my preaching in Rotterdam – the Netherlands. I stopped in the middle of my speech and asked my attendant to bring me a concordance. In front of many people I made the first key discovery, key, because it opened a new door. I went through the door, but what I found in that brand new room was only an enormous task, which God put me in charge of. I resisted, because I knew that the realm of illusion dwells in all of us, and we love it, even though it can cause sicknesses and death. Eventually I buckled and then yielded to God’s will. Immediately the heavenly waterfalls started to pound on me with the most incredible enormity. I was stunned; I still can’t manage my proper equilibrium.

I wish that I would not need words to express all that I actually see. I do think, speak and write in English, which is not my native language, yet I no longer know how to express myself in the language of my birth, which was Polish, (second was Russian, some Spanish, some Hebrew, German and Dutch. Now I’m learning French). A people’s spirit is found in their language. The bilingual manifestation of the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Truth) on the day of Pentecost speaks about international communications, which the Gospel message influenced.

That’s what the Holy Spirit’s ministry is all about. The apostles knew Greek and Latin and quoted the Hebrew Scriptures in their original form, Hebrew and in Aramaic. The mind of the Hebrew people—before Israel’s Assyrian dispersion and before Judah’s exile to Babylon—was shaped by the Hebrew biblical language, which has no tenses. God speaks to us the suspended in time people from His timeless reality. However, over time new words and new concepts have also altered the original timeless thought. Translations don’t always help; therefore it must not be the letter, which kills, but the Spirit who gives life (2 Cor. 3:6).

CULTURES & LANGUAGES

When it comes to the disciples of Jesus they had to accommodate the local folklore into their sermons and bible teachings otherwise they could not break through those cultural barriers. Judging from the many letters Paul wrote he was probably most successful; and his birthplace and upbringing had something to do with it. Paul was born in Tarsus (Galatia of Asia Minor. Borrowing from Josephus Flavius, I believe that Tarsus and Jonah’s Tarshish [Jonah 1:3] is one and the same). The proximity to cities like Corinth, Ephesus or Antioch, with which the ancient world heavily transacted, influenced Paul’s upbringing.    

To know a nation you must also know its people’s common expressions then you can successfully address anything in need of correcting, but that’s only regarding the Creator and His Kingdom. And as far as just the physical mundane existence is concerned there is no need to revive anything.

Individual cultures carry seeds of illusion and seeds of the Truth, but in some cases the seed of illusion has blossomed and even bore fruit, which when consumed produces delusion. This delusion is a blind religious or even scientific indoctrination that binds. Why people do that is hard to explain. Insufficient and incomplete knowledge too quickly puffs up some types and then obstructs the passage of truth to their imaginations. Hence, predominantly our imaginations have much more to do with illusion rather than the Truth. People are too quick to settle things in their mind and it indeed restrains the passage of any new revelation. Those who remain neutral and inconclusive are better off than those that jump the gun.

Fragmented information, in spite of its source remains fragmented and no one has the final answer on any matter in life. For example: the Polish people use an expression (Polish: “nie ma na to rady” – “there is no help, no solution and no advice”) sounds authoritative and final. That’s the handicap, because with words and expressions we can heal, restore and make peace.

Peace heals and gentleness endears people. Quarrels, rows and endless arguing take words, so humans have invented too many angry words, but not enough of calming healing words. Anger and hatred close the door to the supernatural. This sort of speaking in final terms is something deeply seated, which somehow tends to believe the worst for another and that comes from an uncaring sentiment; a warlike sentiment. And, when this sentiment became part of the language it remains in the subconscious psyche. By not paying attention to those common nuances of the language eventually it will affect the entire nation and in many ways adversely shape its mind. Everything can be helped. Everything can be fixed. There is nothing terminal, despite of what anyone has told you, flippantly or authoritatively.

OPEN MIND & THE SUPERNATURAL

There was a lady paralyzed on one side of her body, not able to move and properly speak. People have seen such cases as being incurably permanent. As a child I cherished the wise and kind dame who loved God and His word. As a 15-year old teenager I could not stand her being struck down like that and everybody’s resigned attitudes. No help meant no help, final. I just don’t like it. The medical science sold the lady out to the inevitable and to the permanency of her paralysis. Some took but a small lick of the medical knowledge and all too quickly doom people excluding even the probability of the miraculous. The medical science often foresees even worst things like the probability of a second stroke and death; just because people have seen that on others.

Well, I had enough of this utter hopelessness and people’s agreement with this hopelessness and helplessness. I knew the Bible, and I knew about the healer Jesus. On behalf of this precious older lady, alone in her house, I decided to seek God. In my prayer I felt the Lord telling me to fast for her for seven days and pray. I decided to do that, even if nothing would have happened in terms of divine healing; nonetheless, I wanted to find out if God really spoke to me or I have just imagined it. After seven days of fast I asked the Lord to give me boldness. No one has even seen this before, a young boy laying hands on the sick? I dared to be the only ‘fool’ that dares.

I visited the lady and asked her if she believes that Jesus can heal her (she was of the Jewish extraction, but a believer in Jesus), she said, “If the Lord leads you to pray for me, I am open and would like that very much.” I hardly tapped her arm with my fingers and said, “Be healed in Jesus’ name” and nervously ran out of her house. As I made my way home, I looked back… Lo and behold, the lady ran out of her house stood on the street and waved her hand toward me. Miracle. She was completely healed and lived in perfect health thereafter.

PROPERTIES IN A LANGUAGE

So, the language can contain many hindrances which either we have poured into the language; or because we were born under its influence we have adapted that language’s mentality. The same is with Russian, German, French, Dutch, Spanish or English. I know these lingual expressions and the seed of falsehood, truth, pretense, illusion, deadlock, hopelessness even revulsion they carry.      

We have inherited many illusions from our predecessors, which sooner or later we must part with, either willingly or unwillingly. When we choose willingly then it must be through a better knowledge and a wise choice. But if we are not willing to choose, for one reason or another (a list of excuses can be long), then we must perish thus permanently be silenced. But this sort of peace is not what God had planned for us. Therefore, choose this day (Deuteronomy. 30:19).
