Crucified Life Brings Purity (7) (Audio) David Eells - 9/28/22 Father Chastens Every Son That He Receives Eve Brast - 8/17/22 (David’s notes in red)   I had a vision of an angel in some brethren’s house. His name, “Tobias” was spoken. This name means, “God is good.” He had ear length, dark brown hair and was dressed similar to the UBM angel Baruch in a sleeveless, knee length tunic with a brown leather belt and braided headband that tied in the back. He wore leather sandals that criss crossed up his calves and tied at the top. He held a long, stout, grey, metallic rod that was octagonal around in shape in his left hand and he cradled a leather bound book in the crook of his right arm to record acts of obedience and progresses. His eyebrows were furrowed but not deeply as Baruch’s. My attention was brought in closer to the rod and I saw the word, “Love” engraved around it, near the top. He looked a little intimidating but was actually more personable and engaging. As I was wondering what Tobias’ purpose was there, and especially about the curious rod he was holding. Then he spoke to me a message, “I am a buffeting angel… Keep your hearts pure. Continue to rid yourselves of all that defiles. Strive for unadulterated obedience to God’s Word and surrender yourselves onto your Father’s altar of sacrifice and things will go well with you. Otherwise, I am assigned to coordinate your Father’s chastenings. But always remember that our God and your loving Father, “chastens every son that He receives.” For so my name testifies to God’s goodness, He loves you very much. (Here is the scripture reference: Heb. 12:4-11 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.” 7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. 11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have  been trained by it.) Here is a confirmation dream:   The Rod of Correction Anonymous - 9/15/22 (David’s notes in red) (This person is representing the corporate body of God’s elect. I believe Father gave this dream to confirm Eve’s vision of the Buffeting Angel.) I dreamed I was in a well lit room, that had white walls with wood door and trim. (Representing, Jesus, the narrow Door of the cross.) (The white walls represent separation or sanctification. The well lit room represents discernment of truth. The narrow door or cross conforms us to His Image.) I was screaming for help to get out. (We can pray and complain to the Lord to get out from under the pain of our cross but, not until we repent, will we be set free. Our flesh doesn’t like being crucified or being burnt up in the fiery trials. The sooner we stop running from our cross and let it do its work the quicker we will come into the image of Jesus.) Then this man with some kind of authority came into the room and was going to beat me with a thick, solid, three inch, diameter piece of metal. (Representing those the Father uses to administer the rod of correction. Pro 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child; For if thou beat him with the rod, he will not die. 14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, And shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.) I was fearful of the pain of being beaten and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” (This represents repentance. The Lord had recently permitted the enemy to use pain and inflammation in my joints to get my attention about criticism, judgment and unforgiveness. Thank you Father for your mercy and grace to teach me forgiveness!) I was then surprised that the man didn’t beat me as he turned to walk away. (When we repent we will find mercy.) End of dream. I asked for verses by faith at random for the dream and received Isa. 60:14, (in context 10,14), my finger was on despised in verse 14. Isa.60:10 And foreigners shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, in my favor have I had mercy on thee.  ... 14 And the sons of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; (Notice that this comes after the Lord is done using them to crucify our flesh) they shall call thee The city of Jehovah, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. (We will be holy after the crucifixion through our enemies is finished.) Also, Ecc 4:4 (In context 4-6) Then I saw all labor and every skillful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind. 5 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh. (I.e. destroys himself) 6 Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and striving after wind. (We need to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling and not compare ourselves with others. We all have different gifts and callings of the Lord.) This dream really threw me for a loop at first and I wasn’t sure if the Lord was correcting me or encouraging me. It really made me examine my heart. So after examining my heart I asked the Lord if this was a correction and He gave me Luk 15:12. My finger was on the word, "thy substance", (In context 11-32)  11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of thy substance that falleth to me.. (When I first read this I thought for a moment and said this isn’t me but it used to be me. The Father welcomed me back with open arms and forgave me when I repented! Thank you Father for your love, grace, mercy, long-suffering and forgiveness!) Luk 15:11-32 11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of thy substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living. (We are running a race to finish the crucified life; there is no time to waste feeding the flesh.) (I took the Lord’s salvation he had given to me for granted. Jesus is salvation when we abide in him.) 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. (Wasting time feeding the flesh will cause us to miss out on the high calling.) 17 But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: 19 I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. (Now he must regain time lost or fall behind in the race. Eph 5:16  redeeming the time, because the days are evil.) 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son. (Still the time was useful for humbling) 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23 and bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry: 24 for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. (Living after the flesh is considered time dead)    Vision of My Cross and Triumph Samuel M. - 9/2/22 (David’s notes in red) I was lying down and thinking on the Lord. I was deliberately thinking and meditating on Him and wondering whether or not I would be closer to the Lord and trying to overcome my shortcomings and to really manifest Christ. I was sorrowful that I have so much to learn to really be like our Lord Jesus. Then I had a series of visions. I saw a very large cross appear before me. I knew it was a type of our Lords because I felt it was the time period just before He was about to go up the hill and be crucified. This cross was like the Roman's crosses that they used for all the crucifixions. I then knew, this cross was for me and was in my own timeline. I was in terror and had a deep feeling of being separate from everyone else. There was no one to call out to in the physical and all I could see was myself, and this very certain fate. The weather was dark and gloomy and the enemy was accusing me in the background. Then I started to see scenes, one after another, of the spitting, punches, whips, slashes, and horrendous pain that our Lord Jesus took. Each time I heard God say to me, ‘Will you do this for me?’ and I was in shock and I said, ‘I don’t know if I can bare the pain’. The scenes stopped. I then felt the Lord embrace me and say, ‘If you didn’t feel the pain, would you do this for me?’ I immediately said, ‘Yes. Of course!’. Then Jesus spoke deeply to the feelings and terror I felt about the journey to the crucifixion. He said, ‘If you will do this without pain, why not with the pain?’. I was convicted. Am I doing this just to appear to be taking up my cross or am I truly going the whole extent and giving my all for Him? I then saw myself getting thrown down and about to be nailed to the cross. I was scared as I was getting my feet nailed. Seriously, this was something of a pure nightmare of pain. But something truly gave me peace. I felt that even though it was painful, it was only for a moment and then it would all be finished. After I felt the nails going into me, the scene changed to our current time. There were so many people there that I recognized but we weren’t communicating with each other. There were brethren from UBM, my friends who believe in Jesus - even people I've seen online who have a strong faith and walk in the Lord. All of us were being led through streets towards a square. The crowds were violent and shouting vile words. They tried to shackle us and bind us, but nothing could hold us at all. All the chains just broke! They attacked us with everything from spitting at us to throwing spears at us. The crowds were totally against who we were representing. I had the sense that this was something to do with the persecution of our faith. We were all getting led together but I felt it was an individual battle. In my mind I didn’t think to talk to or call out to the others with me but instead just carry on with this journey. Strangely and what eventually made sense later, was that none of the attacks hurt me or caused any pain. It was as if I knew it would hurt but it did no damage nor inflicted any pain at all. Along the way I felt that those in the crowds would just come over to our side and join us. It was sad to see them act that way and I just wanted them to be with Jesus. I then felt that the crowds were separated from us and God and there was nothing more that could be done for them or the world in general. We got to the square and everyone was crying and in their own struggles, but I was at peace. It was as if no matter what would happen to me (and all of us) it wouldn’t be a bother at all! I remembered the scripture, “It’s not I that live but Christ that lives in me”. I was basically countering all that I saw and would have felt in these attacks, with scripture and nothing could harm me. Then the crowds were preparing for a final blow. I heard a loud voice say, ‘Triumph!’. I knew that now was a time to celebrate and proclaim in full completeness of everything I am, to rejoice and I looked upward. As soon as I did, an amazing fanfare broke out! Like Psalm 150, every instrument played, with streamers and balloons and fireworks and everything you would have for a massive party all came down over all of us! It was so amazing. It even felt as if the Third Heaven was right there with all of us joining and we all sang an amazing song. It was so joyous! There was a bright light that shown on all of us like a giant spotlight and nothing else around us could be seen as all the light was on us. I was then brought back to that cross that the Lord Jesus instructed me to carry. I was then shown myself getting put on the cross and reminded of the Lord Jesus saying, ‘Embrace your cross’. I was so pleased to finally piece things together. It’s not us that lives but Christ. We die to self. Take up your cross and follow Him. Death cannot hold Him. It is finished. Victory is His. I praise You Father for accepting all of us, let us triumph with You now no matter what. Glory to You in Jesus Name. AMEN! See My Son in the Mirror Angelica Garza - 9/17/22 (David’s notes in red) I wanted to share what I believe the Lord spoke to me as I was struggling and praying. My struggle has been to overcome the guilt, shame, and condemnation of who I was. The enemy has repeatedly come into my dreams to destroy my confidence in being forgiven and righteous before God by faith. The emotions and feelings at times are so overwhelming. (Justification because of what Jesus did is the foundation of our faith. If we leave justification by faith we lose the battle.) This has been a tough trial for me, to overcome deferring to my feeling to tell me who I am instead of the Word. The Lord has seemingly been silent. I believe he wants me (and us all) to only believe his word, even if darkness is all you see. (We must walk by faith and not by sight. We must see Jesus in the mirror by faith so that we can come into His image. 2Co 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.) I was reading Proverbs 1:30-33  They would none of my counsel, They despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own devices. 32 For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them. 33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely, And shall be quiet without fear of evil. I have been praying for God to give me the gift to submit to His word, and to hear Him and any cost. I have come to the point that I don't care what it costs me so that I can continue with Him. I prayed after reading vs 33, Father, please speak to my heart. This is what I believe He spoke. I asked if I should share and got a yes. It's probably a very obvious, simple message for many, but I believe it's the answer for every trial we face. Father said, “See my Son in the mirror. No matter what you see, what you feel, know of a truth that my words are true. They are life, they are powerful. The enemy is losing ground, so he is trying to entice you at your weak points. Submit to the Word of promise, resist him, and he will be defeated in your life. The Word tells you who you are. Believe me, don't believe him, he is a liar. He seeks to destroy the image of Christ in you. Fight him! He will accuse you of who you were, but it's not who you are. He will tell you I AM not with you. He lies! I AM with you, even to the end of the world. Hold fast to that which you have, don't sell your birthright for one mess of meat. I love you. I will not give you up so easily as you think. I will fight for you, you are mine.”   How Do We Carry Our Cross? David Eells The crucified life is probably one of the most hated and denied doctrines and, yet, one of the most important doctrines, if a person wants to bear fruit and walk in the steps of Jesus. This is the death-to-self as we repent day-by-day, that comes as we read the Word of God and realize what the Will of God is for us. “Repentance” means “to change your mind.” When we read and ingest the Word, the “old man” dies and the “new man” comes to life, because the new man is the Word bearing fruit in our soul.   It says in (Zec.13:7) Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn my hand upon the little ones. Jesus quoted this in Matthew 26, speaking about Himself being the Shepherd, and the scattering of His disciples being at least the beginning of God turning His “hand upon the little ones.” It sounds very much like the Lord is out to kill us all. The Lord Jesus was the first, the Example, the Sacrifice, and without Him nothing else would be possible. He made it possible for us to die. Is God really out to kill us all, to “turn” His “hand upon the little ones,” just as He turned the sword against His Son? God took credit for crucifying Jesus Christ. He used wicked men to do it. But now, He says, He is turning His Hand upon the little ones, too. So, what is it about us that has to go to death, that has to be crucified? (Gal.5:17) For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would. There’s a war going on because the flesh and the spirit are enemies. The flesh, representing the old man, must die. (1Co.15:50) Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. So, yes, the Lord’s Hand is against the old man, to put him to death. It doesn’t necessarily mean the death of the body. It means the death of the flesh which, of course, includes the mind of the flesh and speaks of the unregenerate soul of man. We’re told that the flesh is contrary to God's way and His Will. (Rom.8:7) Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be: (8) and they that are in the flesh cannot please God. The mind of the lower nature, the mind of the fallen man, the mind of the old man, is the enemy of God. What we have to do is cooperate with God in this process of the crucifixion of the old man. Our Lord Jesus gave us a perfect example of that in (Joh.10:17) Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. Does the Father love all of those who are willing to lay down their life? Of course He does. Jesus said the Father loves those who obey the Son: (Joh.14:21) He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him. ... (23) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. Of course, obeying the Son is obeying the Word and obeying the Son is laying down your life to take up His life. The Father loved Jesus because He laid down His life so that He might “take it again.” (Joh.10:18) No one taketh it away from me…. Jesus is our example. He wants us to be willing to take up His life. No one else can take the life of the self, the old man, from us, either. People can kill you, but they can’t take that self-life from you. We have to give that up. (Joh. 10:18) No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power (literally, the word here is exousia, meaning “authority”) to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. “I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again.” We have authority! When we were baptized, we reckoned ourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Rom.6:11. We reckoned that the old man was dead, that we were crucified with Christ and we don’t live anymore. It’s now Christ Who lives in us. We received authority to lay down that old life and we can say no to self; we can say no to the devil. We received authority and, likewise, anybody who loses their life will gain their life. If we lay it down, we have authority to take it up. ... Jesus, as our Example, cooperated with this process. He said, “I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. … This commandment received I from my Father.” Of course, we have received the same commandment and we do have power because of what Jesus did at the cross. We have power, or authority, which is the correct word here – dunamis. This authority is the right to use power. We use God’s power to lay down the old life and to take up the new. Whether we will or not is a decision we have to make, individually. Not everyone will be a disciple of Jesus Christ, For many are called, but few chosen (Mat.22:14). So, although we have this command of the Lord to lay down our life, He said that it’s quite conditional upon us. Some people think it’s all over; well, it is, by faith. We see the end from the beginning but we have to cooperate with God in this process of laying down our self-life.   It’s all about denying self in (Mat.16:24) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. “Follow me” indicates that this person is a disciple, which is a learner and a follower. Denying self and taking up the cross are synonymous. We are not permitting self to live through this body. We deny self, take up our cross and follow Him. Of course, that is to the death. (Mat.16:25) For whosoever would save his life shall lose it. Many seek to save the life of self. They seek to justify self and, when they do, they are giving up the opportunity to have the life of Christ and bear fruit. (25) For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. The word used here for “life” is psuche, and it's talking about your soul life, or self. We lay down the old self in order to take up the new. We lay down our old soul, our own mind, will and emotions, in order to take up Jesus’ mind, Will, and emotions. This is our cross. We have this opportunity to advance in this every day, if we’ll lay down our life to have the life of Christ. This is a condition and it should make many people tremble because this is a condition that’s given to all Christians. Those who don’t bear fruit in this area of losing our old life will not have eternal life. It doesn’t matter what they have by faith; it matters what they manifest before they leave this life 30, 60, or 100 fold. We do not have to reach 100 fold to be accepted for we are justified by faith. Those who walk by faith will receive power from God to walk the crucified life and they will love, they will embrace the cross! They will embrace death-to-self. (26) For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? Again, the word psuche is translated here as “life,” but there’s still another way it’s translated: (Luk.9:24) For whosoever would save his life (psuche) shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life (psuche) for my sake, the same shall save it. (25) For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self (psuche)? That’s the same word, psuche, translated as “life,” “soul” and “own self.” It is a person’s mind, will and emotions. We will have His life if we’re willing to give up our mind, our will and our emotions for His. The renewed mind of Christ comes from submitting to the Word of God. Besides just knowing the Word and submitting to it, there are some very important things we can do to cooperate with God in bringing this to pass: (1Pe.2:19) For this is acceptable, it for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully. Obviously, we suffer wrongfully at the hands of the world, at the hands of the wicked and at the hands of the curse. We suffer wrongfully and, if we do it because of “conscience toward God,” this is okay. (20) For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it,] ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it,] ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. The word “acceptable” here is actually the word “grace” and may be read, “this is grace with God.” When we do what we’re called to do, what the Scripture commands us to do, and we suffer for it, this is grace with God. The Lord says, My grace is sufficient for thee (2Co.12:9)…. So, we’re called to a cross and we’re going to suffer if we do what’s right. (2Ti.3:12) Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. The world is going to come against us if we bear our cross. If we’re willing to accept exactly what the Word of God says and if we’re willing to submit, in circumstances, to God’s commands, we’re going to suffer death to self. And it’s good because it’s the only way to bear fruit. (1Pe.2:21) For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps: (22) who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: (23) who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously. When Jesus was reviled or threatened, He turned the other cheek; He resisted not the evil (Matthew 5:39). He knew that this was God’s method to bring Him to His cross and the next two verses speak of exactly that: (24) Who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed. So, by not defending self, we come to our cross, just as when Jesus refused to defend Himself, He came to the cross.   There is a well-known chapter in Isaiah concerning the cross and what Jesus bore there: (Isa.53:7) He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. We know this is true when He was before Pilate and when He was before Herod. He didn’t defend Himself. He knew that this was the Father’s Will for Him to go to the cross, so He denied Himself and went to the cross. He could have said quite a few things that probably would have served to defend Him, but He didn’t. When we defend self, we’re proving that we want to save this life, rather than lose this life. (Mat.16:25) For whosoever would save his life shall lose it…. Many people, during the coming Tribulation, for instance, will seek to save their life, but they’re going to lose it anyway because, in the great and terrible Day of the Lord, those who have proven themselves to be the Harlot are going to be destroyed by the Beast. They could have accepted their cross during the Tribulation. They could have accepted their deliverance from this world by the crucifixion of self, but since they cast it down, they will lose everything during the great and terrible Day of the Lord. We don’t have any choice about losing our life – it’s lose it now or lose it later. The point is, if we lose it now, we don’t have to endure the Day of the Lord. Jesus was our example here because “he opened not his mouth” and did not defend self. He went to the cross. ... We have many people around us whose only purpose in life is to help us to go to this cross. This is God creating His sons. ... He said He would turn His “hand upon the little ones” (Zec.13:7). However, we still have to cooperate with God. He gave us a decision to make: either lose our life to gain our life or save our life and lose our life. ...We are here to lose our life, our psuche, our fallen, soulish life. Not every Christian will die, but every Christian will lose their life or they won’t be Christian. ... There is no eternal life without the cross. No cross, no crown. People are deceived by the devil into thinking that they can justify themselves, that they can defend themselves in the presence of the Word of God, instead of embracing the truth there and letting it put to death their old life. ... Jesus’ commands demanded that we do this but we have to make that decision.   Select Language Afrikaans Albanian Amharic Arabic Armenian Assamese Aymara Azerbaijani Bambara Basque Belarusian Bengali Bhojpuri Bosnian Bulgarian Catalan Cebuano Chichewa Chinese (Simplified) Chinese (Traditional) Corsican Croatian Czech Danish Dhivehi Dogri Dutch Esperanto Estonian Ewe Filipino Finnish French Frisian Galician Georgian German Greek Guarani Gujarati Haitian Creole Hausa Hawaiian Hebrew Hindi Hmong Hungarian Icelandic Igbo Ilocano Indonesian Irish Italian Japanese Javanese Kannada Kazakh Khmer Kinyarwanda Konkani Korean Krio Kurdish (Kurmanji) Kurdish (Sorani) Kyrgyz Lao Latin Latvian Lingala Lithuanian Luganda Luxembourgish Macedonian Maithili Malagasy Malay Malayalam Maltese Maori Marathi Meiteilon (Manipuri) Mizo Mongolian Myanmar (Burmese) Nepali Norwegian Odia (Oriya) Oromo Pashto Persian Polish Portuguese Punjabi Quechua Romanian Russian Samoan Sanskrit Scots Gaelic Sepedi Serbian Sesotho Shona Sindhi Sinhala Slovak Slovenian Somali Spanish Sundanese Swahili Swedish Tajik Tamil Tatar Telugu Thai Tigrinya Tsonga Turkish Turkmen Twi Ukrainian Urdu Uyghur Uzbek Vietnamese Welsh Xhosa Yiddish Yoruba Zulu Powered by Translate Printer-friendly version
