THE BOOK OF MARK

CHRIST JESUS IS OUR PASSOVER - OUR LIVING WORD

Mark – Chapter 6

Mark 6:1 says, “And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.” Christ Jesus is once again in Galilee with all of His disciples.

Mark 6:2 says, “And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing [him] were astonished, saying, From whence hath this [man] these things? and what wisdom [is] this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?” Christ Jesus, the carpenter’s Son, was teaching in the family church. These people knew Christ Jesus and the family He grew up with. They could not believe His teachings, the miracles witnessed by many and the power and might of our Lord’s authority over mankind. The people did not know that Christ Jesus was “Emmanuel, which means God with us.” They did not know that our Lord was our “Living Word walking with mankind.”

Mark 6:3 says, “Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.” The congregation was “offended” which means “to put a stumbling block or impediment in the way, upon which another may trip and fall, metaph. to offend.” Here is Christ Jesus who grew up with them, there in the synagogue with His family, and He is teaching truths they have never heard before since none of them were endowed with the “Wisdom of Father God.” They just went through the motions as the pulpits gurus do today, spewing babble and confusion, congregations believing because it sounds holy. This is why truth offends and causes you to stumble when your religious beliefs are based on the doctrines and traditions of men.

Mark 6:4 says, “But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.” Christ Jesus is saying that it is hard to teach truth to your own family, friends, in the very place where you live since their responses would be very discouraging when seeds of truth are being planted. It is hard for people who know you to hear teachings they are not familiar with since they chose not to believe that all wisdom comes from Father God. They would rather believe they come from schools of theology and to teach Father's Word it is necessary to alphabet soup {PhD} following your name. Christ Jesus has shown through miracles and wondrous teachings the power of His might and these people, His own, still did not believe, having no faith. For the very elect today planting seeds of truth, remember, if they rejected Christ Jesus with all that He had done for His children, your gift of teaching will be rejected most often as well, especially by those who know you.

Mark 6:5 says, “And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed [them].” Christ Jesus healed only a few people here because only a few had faith in Him. There was little Christ Jesus could not do for the rest of these people because they had no faith in Him or His wondrous works, therefore our Lord did not give of “His amazing pearls, His mighty works”, as the very elect are taught in Matthew – Chapter 7 {Verse 6}. It is of no use to cast the pearls of Father Truths before swine. As we now live and ask anything of our Father, if you have no faith, you will receive no mighty works from our LORD.

Mark 6:6 says, “And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.” “Marvelled” means “to wonder.” Whether the truth of Father’s Word would be accepted or not, Christ Jesus continued to teach since it is to the detriment of the hearer if they do not accept Father’s Word. The very elect of this generation are commanded of Father God to continue in faithful study and plant seeds of truth, sharing that Good Gospel wherever they may be heard and it is the responsibility of the hearer to pray for the understanding only Father can give in the Name of Christ Jesus.

Mark 6:7 says, “And he called [unto him] the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;” “Two” means “union, division, witnessing.” Christ Jesus sent His disciples two together since the law requires a witness for and to all things. Christ Jesus had ordered six thousand evil spirits from the possessed man who resided at the tombs into the swine. He did not send those evil spirits back where they came from, allowing them to wonder the whole earth since He has given us authority and power over all of our enemies [Luke – Chapter 10 {Verses 18 & 19}] when we pray to Father God in the Name of Christ Jesus by faith. Our Lord is giving this same authority to His disciples at this time and it carries to mankind as we now live when you have faith in the “Power of Father God Almighty” to assert your authority over evil forces.

Mark 6:8 says, “And commanded them that they should take nothing for [their] journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in [their] purse:” “Staff” means “a walking stick, for protection as well.” “Scrip” means “a leathern sack, in which travellers and shepherds carried their provisions – today it is called a begging bag.” Christ Jesus is saying to His disciples that all they need to teach and heal is faith in “My Power and Might”, and our “LORD” knows what they have need of just as He knows what the very elect of this generation have need of. When you are working for Father God, He will at all times see to your requirements. It is necessary, having the blessings of Father, to work for those things required for your daily living and not take from those you are ministering to other than to give to the widows and the poor, and maintain the building where you gather. It is not the responsibility of the congregation to take care of the pulpit gurus and tithe to them so they are fat in luxury as they live large with ill-gotten gain.

Mark 6:9 says, “But [be] shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.” Christ Jesus is telling His disciples to travel light, wearing only that which is needed; faith eliminating any doubt for their well-being.

Mark 6:10 says, “And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.” Christ is saying to His disciples that while travelling and teaching the good gospel, stay at one house in the city they are in since there is a ceremony of greeting that is time consuming, as they are welcomed into a home. Our Lord does not want them moving from house to house, spending time with this ceremony continuously since that time spent takes away from the time of teaching, which is their purpose. For the very elect as we now live, this teaches us to avoid the ceremonies of churches and people and stay focused on the purpose, which is planting seeds of truth wherever they may be heard; as often as you can.

Mark 6:11 says, “And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.” “Sodom” means “burning.” “Gomorrah” means “submersion {going under}.” When a city or people are more sinful than perversion, this is a sad state for them to be in. To “shake off the dust from under your feet” is likened to dung in the crevices of your shoes; it is so bad you throw them away. With people who truly have no eyes to see or ears to hear, to continue to minister to them is fruitless. Seeds of truth will be planted and the hearer must receive and ask for the increase of knowledge only Father God can give in the Name of Christ Jesus. The seed having been planted, just pray for the hearer that at the appointed time, by the will of Father God, it may grow wherein they understand what “this saith our LORD.”

Mark 6:12 says, “And they went out, and preached that men should repent.” Flesh is sinful by nature and it necessary to confess those sins daily before Father God, seeking forgiveness with a pure heart, in the Blessed Name of Christ Jesus. Our Lord came to offer salvation, taking our stripes on that cross, renting that veil from top to bottom that all who wish to can now come before the Throne of Father God Almighty having no excuse.

Mark 6:13 says, “And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed [them].” Casting out devils is not beyond your scope when you have the truth of Father’s Word within your heart and mind, remembering that our Lord gave us power over all of our enemies. “Anointed” means “Christ, the Anointed One by Father God Almighty.” It is through Christ Jesus that the very elect ask Father God to bless that vial of olive oil since the oil in of itself has no power, rather love, faith, discipline and obedience to Father God, seeking a healing spiritually, physically, mentally or emotionally for yourself or one who asks, Father God extending the blessing because of His love. This is accomplished not by the act, rather by faith in Father God as the woman with the issue who touched Christ Jesus, healed by her faith. “Oil” means “elaion, el'-ah-yon – the sacred Name for Father God – el and ah.” James – Chapter 5 teaches of the anointing oil to heal and drive out evil spirits when asked in the Name of Christ Jesus in obedience to the Word of Father God Almighty.

Mark 6:14 says, “And king Herod heard [of him]; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.” Herod is speaking these words because at this time John was deceased; Herod responsible for his death. He had John murdered even though he knew that John the Baptist taught the truth of Father God’s Word.

Mark 6:15 says, “Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.” “Elias” means “my God is YAHOVAH.” Many, from those who sat in high places to those who barely made ends meet were trying to figure it out, know who this was, Christ Jesus, who was commanding many marvelous works and teaching truth.

Mark 6:16 says, “But when Herod heard [thereof], he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.” You can rest assured that Herod was feeling a lot of panic at this point having murdered John the Baptist, feeling guilt, and truly believing he had risen from the dead. Better said, the “fear of seeing Emmanuel {God with us}” put the fear {reverence} of Father God within him.

Mark 6:17 says, “For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.” With all Herod had done he was still living in the sin of marrying his brother’s wife which was against the law of Father God.

Mark 6:18 says, “For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.” John the Baptist was a minister of Father’s Word and he shed the light of truth whenever he could. This is the mission of the very elect even as we now live. Many will shun truth taught by the very elect, however the difference is that it is not the very elect who shall bow down and worship death who is the first/false christ [satan] when he is cast to the earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind. The deceived will be those as Herod who walk in ignorance of Father’s Word and will bow down and worship death, who is satan.

Mark 6:19 says, “Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:” Herodias had nothing but hate for John the Baptist because he told Herod the truth and she carried a serious issue against him, killing John herself had she had the authority to do so.

Mark 6:20 says, “For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.” Herod respected and loved to hear John teach Father’s Word, having no doubt he was sent by Almighty God to teach the gospel.

Mark 6:21 says, “And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief [estates] of Galilee;” Herod gave himself a birthday party and invited all the important people, being those who sit in high places of authority in terms of economics, education, politics and religion. The kenites were having a good time.

Mark 6:22 says, “And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give [it] thee.” The king was all excited over the surely erotic dancing of his step-daughter, his brother’s child. It is obvious that Herod enjoyed the finer things of the flesh as evidenced by the illegal act of marrying his brother’s wife, which kept him, although loving the teachings of John, from following those same teachings. So in a drunken, excited state, he offered her whatever she would have. Sounds just like ole slew footed satan who had the audacity to offer our Lord Jesus Christ all the power over the kingdoms of this world if our Lord would bow down and worship him. Father God has given satan power over economics, education, politics and religion of this world and our Father will not meddle with your choice to serve the world [satan] or to serve Him [Creator of your soul], if you are under free will. In other words, which would you rather have temporary power and authority in the flesh which shall surely die or be changed -or- everlasting life with our Father God Almighty in the Eternity. Only a fool would exchange a moment of fame and fortune for the eternal paradise and blessings promised by our Father God. Christ was born from above for the purpose of offering salvation [Hebrews - Chapter 10 {3 - 10] to all of humankind as He defeated death [satan] on that cross, crushing his head as it is taught in Genesis - Chapter 3.

Mark 6:23 says, “And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give [it] thee, unto the half of my kingdom.” Drunken Herod was certainly generous at this time, making this statement in the presence of all he had invited to party town. This is why our Father always wants His children to be of a sober mind since a drunken state, spiritually or physically, will surely get you into trouble every time. I Peter 5:8 & 9 says, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” “Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”

Mark 6:24 says, “And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.” Herodias did not even have to think about it, so hateful because her wicked ways were chastised by John the Baptist. She also showed no love for her own daughter whom she would tell to ask for the murder of John. It did not matter to Herodias because she surely knew this opportunity would never present itself again.

Mark 6:25 says, “And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.” The daughter told John that she immediately, right away, wanted John the Baptist murdered, beheaded and to place his head upon a platter {charger}.

Mark 6:26 says, “And the king was exceeding sorry; [yet] for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.” Herod sobered up with that request and was full of guilt for his stupid act, encouraged by drunkenness and governed by feelings of the flesh. Drunk or sober, a king cannot go back on his word and he had a palace full of witnesses as to what he offered the daughter of his wife and what her response was. This is why it is necessary to be faithful to studying our Father's Word. Truth keeps you out of trouble with the ways of this world which belong to satan and his entourage.

Mark 6:27 says, “And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,” Not listening to Father God, keeping a sober mind, Herod allowed himself to be “caught up” and now a murderer because of disobedience. It is very easy as we now live to be “caught up” with the doctrines and traditions of pulpit gurus if you are full of playing church, drunk on the hallelujah corner. This makes you ripe for the deception of satan because your mind is not sober wherein you have the “Seal of Father God Almighty”, which is understanding of His Word.

Mark 6:28 says, “And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.” John the Baptist beheaded by the command of Herod, his remains are brought to the daughter who danced for him, a high price paid for that temporary moment of ecstasy, and she handed the head of beloved John to her mother, the wicked one, who asked her daughter to request such a horrible act as a gift. When you love Father God, His Word should never offend you as Herodias was. Father’s Word is true christianity and if anyone around you cannot accept that as they play church, too bad since you never want to be captivated by foolishness of the world, wherein they rule over you. There is one “Ruler and His Name is “YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty.” Continue in the ways of our LORD and when you come up against those too stupid to accept Father’s Truths while it may be had to cause them to act as Herodias, shake the dust from your feet and do not cast your pearls before swine.

Mark 6:29 says, “And when his disciples heard [of it], they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.” Father God loved John the Baptist very much as He gave His child a purpose as is taught in Luke – Chapter 1 {Verse 17} that he would come in the spirit of the prophet Elias if the people would received him. The children of satan are a destructive, hate-filled force as they beheaded John and crucified our Lord Jesus Christ. John the Baptist had prepared the way for the coming of our Messiah, Christ Jesus {the Greatest love of all}, and now while his body was laid in a tomb, his spirit is at rest, at peace with Father God Almighty.

Mark 6:30 says, “And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.” The twelve sent out by Christ Jesus to teach that good gospel our Lord had taught to them, are now reporting those things they witnessed on their journey.

Mark 6:31 says, “And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.” There was no rest or time to eat because every where they went were many people who wanted to hear truth and be healed by their faith in those same truths, and now our Lord wants His very elect to take some time to take care of themselves as they "rest" in our Lord Jesus Christ. Father has taught us we are to worship Him each day since the "Sabbath" means "Rest", seven days a week. "Christ Jesus is our Rest [Hebrews - Chapter 4]" and we should be of His Spirit, studying and meditating within His love each and every day of our lives, coming into the understanding of truth which brings you spiritual peace.

Mark 6:32 says, “And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.” They put some distance between themselves and the people in order to follow the instructions of Christ Jesus.

Mark 6:33 says, “And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.” The people recognized Christ Jesus and His disciples as they were departing and they traveled by foot around the boundary of the sea and made it to the other side before Christ and his disciples arrived. When you hear the truth of Father’s Word, you cannot get enough as it awakens your spirit and there is a desire to learn and understand more and more truth. Understanding truth awakens pure love for Father and you want to know of His promises, know what our LORD expects from His children, understanding His grace, mercy and love, and wanting to be a part of His Perfect Plan.

Mark 6:34 says, “And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.” The people knew our Lord who is our “Shepherd” and when you are of His flock, “His sheep”, you always know who your Master is. The people having faith in our Lord to heal and teach them caused our Lord to have “a heart of mercy” for His children and He did not rest His physical self, He taught them. Christ Jesus shall always be our “Shepherd, our Living Word” and when you seek understanding of the good gospel by the blessings of the Holy Spirit, Father will have compassion as He grants the increase of understanding only He can give. For those who are not the sheep, students of Father’s Word, Christ taught of them in John – Chapter 10 {Verses 24 – 30}.

Mark 6:35 says, “And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time [is] far passed:” Night has come and Christ Jesus, the disciples and all the many people are at a place that is a wilderness. There are no provisions for them to sustain their physical self.

Mark 6:36 says, “Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.” The people did not prepare for their day since they saw Christ Jesus, stopped what they were doing, and immediately met Him on the other side of the sea. The disciples are speaking of their physical bodies receiving nourishment. However, they were receiving spiritual nourishment since Christ Jesus is our "Spiritual Bread of Life." The purpose of our Lord being born from above was to offer eternal life, becoming our “Perfect Sacrifice” upon that cross wherein salvation would be opened to all as that veil would be rent from top to bottom. Now all people can come before the “Throne of Father God Almighty” to repent and receive forgiveness of sins upon belief in our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the reason you participate in "Holy Communion" which is symbolic of the "Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Mark 6:37 says, “He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?” All people need those things required to sustain the flesh, however the greatest nourishment is for the spiritual body, which is the truth of our Father’s Word. Christ Jesus instructed His disciples to feed the people and they asked if they were to spend all they had in order to buy the provisions.

Mark 6:38 says, “He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.” Christ instructed the disciples to go and see how many loaves of bread may be amongst the people. They came back and reported to our Lord five {grace of God’s goodness, unmerited favor} loaves of bread and two {union, division, witnesses} fish, which is seven {spiritual completeness}. “Loaves” means “Christ Jesus, His Body being the Bread of Life.” “Fish” is symbolic of “christianity since it means in the Greek, Jesus {YAHOVAH’S Savior} Christ {the Anointed One}, Son of God, Savior {offers salvation to all of mankind}.” Father extends His grace upon His children who have accepted Christ Jesus as our Savior and repent of sins in His Precious Name, understanding that we can now approach Father’s Throne because our Lord sacrificed His Perfect Self on that cross at Calvary.

Mark 6:39 says, “And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.” Our Lord Jesus Christ is instructing all the people to sit down in a disciplined and orderly manner. He did not say engage in hallelujah corners.

Mark 6:40 says, “And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.” “Hundred” means “God’s election of grace, children of promise.” “Fifty” means “Holy Spirit.” Our Lord is establishing perfect order and this is an example of how christians are to behave when they are a being fed the truth of Father’s Word. Our LORD commands and expects all things pertaining to Him to be done with love, discipline, obedience and order.

Mark 6:41 says, “And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave [them] to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.” Christ Jesus had the people to sit down right and in order, and He blessed the five loaves of bread and two fish before Father God Almighty who multiplied the offering many times over, and gave the food to the disciples to feed the multitude. This is the manner in which the very elect, who are as the disciples {students of the Word of Father God}, are to teach the truth of the good gospel. Christ Jesus did not feed the multitude, He provided the Word {spiritual food} and the disciples as the very elect of this generation are instructed to, did so. Christ Jesus gave us the Word of Father God and it is the duty of the very elect to feed all those starving for truth [Amos – Chapter 8] with eyes to see and ears to hear, right and in order by the blessings of Father God who grants the increase {multiplies} of understanding.

Mark 6:42 says, “And they did all eat, and were filled.” Studying and understanding Father’s Word causes your spirit to be at peace, satisfied.

Mark 6:43 says, “And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.” “Twelve” means “governmental perfection.” Christ Jesus had fed a great multitude of people and even after they were satisfied, there was plenty of truth left to be planted into the hearts and minds of Father’s children who are lost, hungry, starving to death for understanding of what “thus saith our LORD.” Hold on to the fragments of truth and stay away from those who partake of the scraps {doctrines and traditions of men} of the world since they are void of Biblical knowledge, and keep your spiritual self nourished with the truth of Father’s Word so you are receiving and teaching “what saith our LORD.”

Mark 6:44 says, “And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.” Father’s “grace {five}” is sufficient to satisfy your spiritual self when you partake of “His Living Word” and it is never-ending nourishment.

Mark 6:45 says, “And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.” “Bethsaida” means “house of fish.” Christ Jesus instructing His disciples and the people as well as His ministry continues. “Our Lord” is the “Way, to the Path for the Truth that leads to Eternal Life when you are obedient to His Word.”

Mark 6:46 says, “And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.” Christ Jesus, wanting to meditate with His Father, separated Himself from the disciples who were traveling by ship over to Bethsaida. Our Lord was also preparing His disciples since soon He would not physically be with them, however in Spirit, as our Lord is now, He would and is with His children. Christ is teaching us that we should separate ourselves from all things often and come before Father God alone to speak with Him, pray to our LORD, loving and thanking Him from a pure heart, no audience required. This is taught in Mathew - Chapter 6; your "closet" a private place where you are with Father God.

Mark 6:47 says, “And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.” Christ Jesus was on the shore of the sea and the disciples were on the ship which was on the waters. “Waters” as taught in Revelation 17:15 means “people, multitudes, nations and tongues [languages].” The disciples would be feeding the word of truth to many people, for this is the responsibility of the very elect.

Mark 6:48 says, “And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.” The disciples were being tossed about in the boat by the waves and Christ Jesus knew this and since they were to meet on the other side at Bethsaida, our Lord was walking right pass them. Christ Jesus walking upon the water is symbolic of the fact that soon He would not be with them in the Flesh, in the Spirit only, however our Lord is always there. If you want to toil as you live in this Flesh or Second Earth Age, simply leave Christ out of your life and no matter how much you have or do not have, one thing is for sure, you will have no peace, no "Rest."

Mark 6:49 says, “But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:” The disciples did not understand what they were seeing. Father God is letting us know, as we now live, that just as Christ Jesus walked with and was with His disciples, He is forever present with each one of His children in like manner, only in the Spirit. Christ walks with His children {sea}.

Mark 6:50 says, “For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.” There is nothing to fear as we live in the flesh since our LORD promised that “He would never leave or forsake His children [Hebrews 13:5], and it is by faith that you believe this confidently and have comfort in that love.

Mark 6:51 says, “And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.” This is the second time Christ Jesus had calmed the waters as the disciples were in a ship and they still questioned even after having seen all the wondrous miracles, healings and hearing the teachings of our Lord. Father God always takes care of His own and when your christianity is upon the ship of our Living Word who is Christ Jesus, there is no fear of sinking and you will never be unsure of His wondrous love and protection if you stay grounded spiritually in these truths.

Mark 6:52 says, “For they considered not [the miracle] of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.” “Hardened” means “to make the heart dull – falling short of the expectation even though it is proven over and over.” Liken it to eating a meal because you are hungry, once your belly is full, not hungry anymore, you do not think about it again until those hunger pangs return. “The loaves” is “the bread” taught of in Matthew – Chapter 16 {Verses 11 & 12 }. When you fail to understand and remember the spiritual implications of the miracles of Christ Jesus who brings about the life of your flesh and eternal soul, you leave yourself open to allow the leaven [false teachings] of doctrines and traditions of men, which looks so holy in its deception, to slip in and impede your true christianity.

Mark 6:53 says, “And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.” The disciples made it over the wavy seas and have tied down their ship in this beautiful place “Gennesaret” which means “a harp.” The beautiful harps as taught in Revelation – Chapter 15 as our Lord returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords” to this earth as the Seventh Trumpet sounds and all those who never bowed before satan who is death, will be singing the “Song of the Lamb and the Song of Moses.”

Mark 6:54 says, “And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,” The disciples did not realize until they had docked the ship that it was Christ Jesus who was with them. Their minds were dull as to who our Lord was walking on the water while battling the sea. All they knew at that time was there was "Someone" with them "Spiritually", not realizing it was our Lord, however coming to that realization at this time. They woke up. Just as our Lord was with them always at that time, He is with us always as we now live, only in Spirit; another dimension. Loving our Father God and Christ Jesus, you always feel the comfort and peace of His sweet, sweet Spirit, which lets you know you are never alone. There are no waves, no sorrows, no pains, no struggles you cannot overcome when you walk in the "Light of Christ Jesus, our Loving Word."

Mark 6:55 says, “And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.” All the people knew who Christ Jesus was and surely came to meet Him carrying their sick to be healed, knowing of His wondrous miracles. You live when you have truth within your heart, mind and soul. This is what the "Eternity" is all about; having "everlasting life through our Lord Jesus Christ with our Father God Almighty, who is Faithful and True."

Mark 6:56 says, “And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.” These people were healed because of their faith having seen or heard of the wondrous miracles of Christ Jesus who heals spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally when you believe and remember “Christ Jesus is our Living Word.” Let your light so shine according to your faith, knowing Father God is always with us, that is His promise, when you seek truth through belief in His Beloved Son, blessed by the comfort of our LORD’S sweet, sweet Spirit {Holy Spirit}.

THE BOOK OF MARK

CHRIST JESUS IS OUR PASSOVER - OUR LIVING WORD

Mark – Chapter 5

Mark 5:1 says, “And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.” “Gadarenes” means “reward at the end.”

Mark 5:2 says, “And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,” This is a man possessed by satan's spirit and he was residing where those who had passed away were laid out. “Tombs” means “any visible object for preserving or recalling the memory of any person or thing deceased.”

Mark 5:3 says, “Who had [his] dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:” This man was at the place of the dead [satan is death], the burial place, and he was free to roam since there is nothing earthly that can bound satan himself, however it was his spirit that was within this man. Only Father God can bound satan as he and the fallen angels are at this time chained in Heaven by authority of our Father, Michael the archangel seeing to it they remain in chains until Revelation 12:7 - 9 comes to pass. Christ Jesus sent satan to that bondage, Matthew 4:10 saying, "Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." It is the spirit of satan that roams this earth seeking to house his evil spirit in the spirit of any person who will allow him to abode within them. After satan is cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind, he will be bound once again during the Millennial Kingdom teaching {one thousand years} as he taught in Revelation 20:1 - 3.

Mark 5:4 says, “Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any [man] tame him.” There is no earthly thing or person that can chain or bind satan, however if your spirit is possessed by his evil spirit, Christ Jesus can free you from this evil. Our Lord taught in Luke 10:19, "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." This power Christ has given is based on your faith in the "Power of Almighty God" when you pray in the "Name of Christ Jesus."

Mark 5:5 says, “And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.” This man was possessed so that evil emanated from him to the point of even causing harm to himself as his tormented spirit howled.

Mark 5:6 says, “But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,” The evil spirit knew who our Messiah Christ Jesus was from the Spiritual or First Earth Age. Father God said “let us make man in ‘our’ image, including Himself [Genesis – Chapter 1]” and Christ Jesus, being Father God in the Flesh, said “He that have seen Me have seen the Father [John – Chapter 12].” Knowing who Christ Jesus was, the evil spirit ran to and worshipped our Lord, knowing of His power and might.

Mark 5:7 says, “And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, [thou] Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.” The evil spirit wanted Christ Jesus to leave him alone since it knew He had the power and might to send him back to where it belonged, death. This evil spirit is acknowledging Christ and begging Him to leave him be, possessing the man. Therefore, it was not the man who was speaking, rather the evil spirit that dwelt within him.

Mark 5:8 says, “For he said unto him, Come out of the man, [thou] unclean spirit.” Christ Jesus is our “King” and when He speaks, commands, as He did with this evil spirit, there are no choices.

Mark 5:9 says, “And he asked him, What [is] thy name? And he answered, saying, My name [is] Legion: for we are many.” “Legion” means “a body of soldiers whose number averages out to be about 6,000 [the number for satan] soldiers.” The number for satan is “666” and he is cast to this earth with all of his evil deception at the “Sixth Trumpet, Seal and Vial.”

Mark 5:10 says, “And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.” In order for an evil spirit to exist, it must have a body to live in. The flesh body is their home. Therefore, they were begging Christ to let them be since they were being returned from whence they came; where they belonged.

Mark 5:11 says, “Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.” “Swine” which is a “a pig, a hog”, is the lowest form of carnal flesh that you are not to partake of as is taught in Leviticus – Chapter 11 and Deuteronomy – Chapter 14.

Mark 5:12 says, “And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.” The evil spirits not caring where they resided, wanted to be sent into the lowest of carnal flesh in existence because they did not want to be sent back to the abyss.

Mark 5:13 says, “And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.” The swine as filthy as they are killed themselves rather than to be possessed with evil spirits. The evil spirits may not have been particular where they resided, however the swine were since they were not welcomed to live within them. Therefore, once the swine died, the evil spirits would leave them and look for flesh bodies to reside in. Christ Jesus did not send them back because He knew the swine would kill themselves, the evil spirits would search for new bodies and if mankind had the Holy Spirit within them, those evil spirits should not be able to find residence since our Lord has given us power over all of our enemies as is taught in Luke – Chapter 10.

Mark 5:14 says, “And they that fed the swine fled, and told [it] in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.” You can be sure those who owned the swine were not happy since two thousand of their herd was dead. That is a whole lot of pork chop sandwiches washed away. All of a sudden here you have concern since while the man was tormented; it truly did not bother anyone else until there was a loss of wages and profit because of him. This surely does not demonstrate the love Christ Jesus has for all of His children as He is preparing to be sacrificed on that cross at Calvary for our sins.

Mark 5:15 says, “And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.” These people did not have a problem or care about this man who was possessed by evil spirits, howling and hurting himself as he resided amongst the dead bodies. Question what kind of minds would have seen or come to know of this miracle of our Lord wherein this man who had been possessed was now cleansed, having his right mind, clothed, looking good, having a peaceful spirit within himself, sitting with our Lord Jesus Christ, and the people are fearful. The greater fear you can rest assured is the fact that their pork chop franchise was just wiped off the books.

Mark 5:16 says, “And they that saw [it] told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and [also] concerning the swine.” Those who witnessed this miracle of Christ Jesus told how the evil spirits worshipped and begged our Lord to leave them be, finally asking Christ to send them into the pigs, and watching them rush to their deaths. This was a pretty good financial lost. As we live today, pulpit gurus will keep their congregations entertained, void of Father’s Truths, since wisdom of the Word of Almighty God would surely deplete their tides and offerings.

Mark 5:17 says, “And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.” They were praying Christ right up out of there. They did not care about the miracle, that the man they could not even bind was cleansed, they cared that they had lost a herd. They did not have a mind or heart to bless Father God and take with understanding the teachings of Christ Jesus because those seeds of truth are dormant within their minds. They live, as so many do in this generation we now live in, for that which they can attain carnally, for their flesh joy, not for their spiritual joy.

Mark 5:18 says, “And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.” The man cleansed, loving our Lord so very grateful for the healing, wanted to be with our Lord and not with those who wanted Christ to depart from their midst. Father is a "Mighty God" and when you have His Spirit within you, there is joy, peace and Rest, who is Christ Jesus.

Mark 5:19 says, “Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.” Christ Jesus commanded this one who had previously lived among the dead, possessed with evil spirits, now healed, to stay where he is and teach those who have no eyes to see or ears to hear. This man is now a seed planter of the truth of Father God’s Word since all things are possible through Christ Jesus and all the people there knew what this man previously was and had witnessed the miracle of his healing. There is no greater witness for Father God then one who has received a healing, a blessing; being touched by the Holy Spirit.

Mark 5:20 says, “And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all [men] did marvel.” “Decapolis” means “ten {ten/testimony, law and responsibility} cities.” This man taught of the glory of Father God and His Beloved Son Christ Jesus. He taught of the power and might of our LORD and how He will use whomever He so chooses to do and be a part of His mighty plan. The people knew from whence this man came and seeing him rejuvenated, they most certainly were in awe. This man once feared, possessed of demons, is now a faithful follower of Christ Jesus, spreading the gospel of our Father God Almighty.

Mark 5:21 says, “And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.” Everywhere Christ Jesus went there were many people ready to receive Him, wanting to hear teachings never taught before. As it was, so it is today as people are starving to hear the truth of Father’s Word and pulpit gurus throughout the whole earth play church and their congregations accept their theatrics, not accepting seeds of truth planted because most are too lazy to study for themselves. Truth convicts and brings about a conscious awareness of Father God wherein you are responsible and held accountable when you fail to give our LORD all praise and glory, loving Him with a pure heart and living a life dedicated to true christianity, who is our Living Word, Christ Jesus.

Mark 5:22 says, “And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,” “Jarius” means “whom God enlightens.” This one Jarius fell at the feet of Christ Jesus because of love and faith, knowing that our Lord was endowed by our Heavenly Father, understanding His power and might.

Mark 5:23 says, “And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: [I pray thee], come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.” This ruler of the synagogue, Jarius, had no doubt that his daughter just being in the presence of Christ Jesus would be healed.

Mark 5:24 says, “And [Jesus] went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.” All the people knew of the marvelous works of Christ Jesus as He healed the sick and possessed and taught the truth of Father’s Word.

Mark 5:25 says, “And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,” “Twelve” means “governmental perfection by Divine appointment.” Christ Jesus was twelve years old when He entered into the temple and taught [Luke - Chapter 2]. Our Lord said as He sacrificed Himself on that cross for all of humankind that at His request His Father would send twelve legions of angels if He so desired. Look up the number twelve and see the marvelous works associated with this number. There were twelve disciples/apostles, twelve tribes, twelve stones in the breastplate of the High Priest and the woman in the "Book of Revelation" had a crown of twelve stars, as well as the Tree of Life which bares twelve manners of fruit revealed in that same "Book."

Mark 5:26 says, “And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,” There was no physician who could cure her and she had spent all the money she had over these many years and there was no healing. The physicians took her money yet they did nothing to help her and each day she grew sicker. Most of the people of this world are as this woman, spiritually sick and their pulpits gurus, led by the kenites, take their money, provide them no spiritual understanding for what they pay and the congregation’s just get sicker by the day as they fall further and further away from Father God Almighty.

Mark 5:27 says, “When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.” Mark 5:28 says, “For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.” This woman had faith so strong in our Lord Jesus Christ that she knew, from all the miracles our Lord had blessed His children with; she needed only to touch Him to be made whole. It is impossible to serve Father God or receive His blessings if you do not have pure faith that is a marriage to your works as taught by our Lord Jesus Christ, knowing and believing the love and compassion our Father has for all of His children who love and believe in Him.

Mark 5:29 says, “And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in [her] body that she was healed of that plague.” “Felt” means “to learn to know, come to know, get a knowledge of perceive, feel.” This woman could feel; she knew within her spiritual self that she had been healed by only He who had the power and the might, Christ Jesus.

Mark 5:30 says, “And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?” “Virtue” means “inherent power, power residing by virtue of its nature.” Christ Jesus felt that faith of the woman who had been healed when she reached out and touched Him.

Mark 5:31 says, “And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?” Crowds of people were all around Christ Jesus and the disciples and they had no clue as to who it was that touched our Lord Jesus Christ. You could say they were flabbergasted at the question Christ Jesus asked under the circumstances.

Mark 5:32 says, “And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.” Our Lord knew exactly who it was that had touched Him, just as He knew of her illness. Father God knows everything about each and every one of His children. There are no secrets; there are no undisclosed things we can do since Father knows all and sees all.

Mark 5:33 says, “But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.” The woman fell at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ and confessed that she had touched Him and was giving our Lord all praise and glory because she was healed. Imagine how happy our Father God is when His children, according to their faith, receive that spiritual healing only He can provide and come to the knowledge of His Truths, becoming a part of the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus.

Mark 5:34 says, “And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.” “Faith” means “the conviction that God exists and is the creator and ruler of all things, the provider and bestower of eternal salvation through Christ our Messiah, through whom we obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom of God.” Hebrews – Chapter 1 teaches of the faith of Father God’s very elect and what He continues to expect from His election as we now live. How one can live in this world today without faith in “YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty and Yeshua, Christ Jesus” is a marvel to me. Faith comes from within and is takes root through studying the very Word of Father God because your spiritual eyes and ears open to the pure love of our LORD. Father loves all of His children so much that He took the flesh through Christ Jesus to sacrifice Himself on that cross at Calvary, renting that veil from top to bottom, that all may come before His Throne, declaring belief in Christ Jesus and seeking forgiveness for sins in the blessed name of our Lord. The Holy Spirit brings that spiritual peace when you love, know and understand through faith the power and might of our “Father God Almighty, who is Faithful and True” and dedicate yourself to understanding His Truths so you are a part of our LORD’S plan that shall bring about the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age.

Mark 5:35 says, “While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's [house certain] which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?” The family of Jarius came to tell him there was no need to bother Christ Jesus regarding his daughter since she had passed away. Absent from the body is present with our LORD.

Mark 5:36 says, “As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.” The words Christ Jesus spoke, “Be not afraid, only believe” is what separates children of the “Light who is our Lord” from the darkness that is of satan. You either believe in our Lord or you do not. This is not a game of chance. Belief is what sustains you while walking in the flesh and that faith comes from studying the very “Word of Father God”, knowing through Christ Jesus, that your eyes will open and your ears will hear by the blessing of the Holy Spirit when you seek understanding only our LORD can give.

Mark 5:37 says, “And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.” Christ Jesus is taking these three with him because there was no doubt of their faith. When you are seeking spiritual guidance, a healing, understanding or blessings, be sure that you are in the midst of those who have complete love, faith and trust in Father God. It will be these same three disciples Christ Jesus will take with Him to the high mountain where He is transfigured [Matthew – Chapter 17].

Mark 5:38 says, “And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.” This was more of an uproar for the public than pure grief for the daughter they said was deceased.

Mark 5:39 says, “And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.” This is our Lord Jesus Christ speaking who is Father God Almighty Himself personified in the flesh.

Mark 5:40 says, “And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.” You can see how grieved they were as those tears quickly turned to ignorant laughter and you see what our Lord did. He put all the fakers out of the house of Jarius. That is what you do with your play-acting pulpit gurus, put them out of your spiritual life because they are fakers being paid to fool their congregations. Christ Jesus entered the house with those who had faith, “five {grace, God’s mercy, unmerited favor}” in number {the father, mother, Peter, James, John}, and wherever grace and mercy is, surely Christ Jesus is there. Also never forget once again that absent from the body is present with our LORD.

Mark 5:41 says, “And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.” Christ Jesus spoke the language the daughter understood for the land in which she lived which is Aramaic, the language of captivity.

Mark 5:42 says, “And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was [of the age] of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.” Those who played grief and those truly grieved were amazed because our Lord has shown again the power of His might. This child of twelve years of age, as the woman with the issue of twelve years, by faith lives and was healed because He who has the power to give life and take it away was with them. For the woman and this child, it was faith that made them whole. Father God is teaching us that it is He and He alone who has the power to bestow eternal life on all those who have the faith to love and trust Him as we walk in this flesh, standing and confronting the casting of satan to this earth as the first/false christ according to His will, abiding in the Millennial Kingdom with an immortal soul, and rejoicing in Father's great love through all of eternity.

Mark 5:43 says, “And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.” “Straitly” means “firmly.” Luke taught this in Luke 8:55 which says, “And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.” Christ Jesus is not speaking about food to sustain the flesh, He is speaking about the meat, that strong meat which is the teaching of what “thus saith our LORD” which is that spiritual food {truth} that nourishes your soul to everlasting life. Once you have accepted Christ Jesus as Savior, it is time to grow away from that milk bottle of the salvation message and grow up and be a part of the Perfect Plan of Father God. It is time to study and meditate on the strong meat of Father’s Word wherein you become as one of the very elect and our LORD can use you according to His good will. Hebrews 5:12 – 14 says, “For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which [be] the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.” “For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.” “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” This knowledge keeps you from being bound by satan since our Lord has given those with eyes to see and ears to hear power over all enemies, including slew-footed satan, when you have the “Seal of Truth within your mind which is the Word of Father God Almighty Himself, Faithful and True.” There is a great deception soon to be upon this earth and if you are not versed within the Word of Father God, satan is going to make you his whore {spiritually speaking}. Time is a prime factor of Father’s Word and just as Christ Jesus commanded those who witnessed the miracle of this child to keep their mouths closed since it was not yet time for the people to know our Lord would be sacrificed on that cross at Calvary, “now it is time” for all to know that our Lord is soon to return to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords” and the commandment is for all to understand the season of His return.

THE BOOK OF MARK

CHRIST JESUS IS OUR PASSOVER - OUR LIVING WORD

Mark – Chapter 4

Mark 4:1 says, “And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.” Christ Jesus was in a boat pushed away from the land where the people were gathered to hear His teachings, yet by the Sprit of Father God, having no microphone as we do today, our Lord’s voice carried to the ears of the multitude as a natural amphitheater {pitch}. When our Lord speaks, His “voice is as the sound of many waters, mighty and powerful [Revelation 1:5].” The "sea" as is taught in the "Book of Revelation" is symbolic of "people." Revelation 17:15 says, " And he saith unto me, the waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multiples, and nations, and tongues."

Mark 4:2 says, “And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,” “Parables” means “an earthly story with a heavenly or spiritual meaning.” Luke 810 says, "And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand." If you are one of the very elect of Father God, chosen before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age, it is for you to understand when hearing the teachings of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Almighty God. Christ is saying that His Parables are taught for those with spiritual eyes and ears that are open by the Spirit of Father God to receive His Truths. If you are receiving Father's Word carnally and not spiritually, truth becomes a stumbling block for you, however if you seek that understanding through Father God, studying to show yourself approved in the Name of Christ Jesus, our Father will grant you that increase of understanding by the blessing of His Holy Spirit [Matthew 13:13 - 16 / Isaiah 6:9 & 10].

Mark 4:3 says, “Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:” This is an analogy of one who has seeds in a bag that is around the neck, hanging down to the side of the body. The ground was ready to receive the seed and the sower would take a handful of seeds and scatter the seeds with a side to side swing of the arm so the seeds would disperse into the field having no control over exactly where the seeds would fall. Therefore some of the seeds may land where there is no fertile ground to receive it, meaning by the wayside wherein nothing will grow from it. So this method of planting seeds thrown from the hand with a swinging motion is likened spiritually to broadcasting {via television, radio, computer, etc.} the Word of Father God and the seeds of truth will be heard by many minds in different places throughout the whole earth {field}.

Mark 4:4 says, “And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.” “Way side” means “road or path.” The seeds that did not fall into the ground prepared to receive the seeds would be picked up from the hard road and eaten by the birds. That seed is likened to the Word of Father God that lands in a mind having a brick wall which means there is no spiritual depth, being a hard head steeped in carnality or doctrines and traditions of men.

Mark 4:5 says, “And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:” “Stony” means “ground full of rocks.” If the ground is full of rocks or stones, there is nothing there fertile to receive the seeds since the stones are covering the fertile ground. This is likened to Father’s Word that is planted in the mind of one who claims to comprehend however does not because they have no understanding of the spiritual meaning of truth. They have accepted it carnally because there is no spiritual depth to their understanding.

Mark 4:6 says, “But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.” When a seed sprouts, it has roots deep within the soil that holds moisture so it can live even when the hot sun beats down on it. Spiritually, when the seed planted is the Word of Father God it must have a root also to understand the depths of truth so that opposition, obstacles in your path cannot sway you from trusting and having faith in our LORD continuously.

Mark 4:7 says, “And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.” “Thorns” means “bush or a thorny plant – like weeds clustered.” The weeds kept the seeds from landing in fertile ground, swarming them up so they could receive no moisture. Spiritually, when Father’s Word is planted into the mind of one full of confusion, the doctrines and traditions of men as weeds all clustered up, having no direction, when they hear truth it is unable to penetrate through the teachings of the Biblically illiterate and take root in their spiritual senses which are of Father God.

Mark 4:8 says, “And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.” The seed that was planted in fertile ground grew up and depending on how much seed was spewed in that area, is how much fruit flourished there, however be it a small crop or large crop it is ripe and hearty; pleasing. Spiritually, when people hear truth and understand the depth of its meaning their mind is that “good ground” since they have accepted what “thus saith our LORD.” Some people can quickly accept and understand truth and others take it in slowly. One way or the other, when you study to show yourself approved, Father God will grant that knowledge you seek according to what you are able to handle; this is a gift from our Father wherein He will not put more on you than you are able to bear. Just keep studying which lets Father know how much you love Him and He surely responds to that love with greater love for you as your spiritual mind {fertile ground} keeps absorbing truth and yielding fruits of the Spirit, which is understanding and sharing the Word of our LORD with others, nurturing spiritual bodies.

Mark 4:9 says, “And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Father God wants His children to listen to the teachings of His Beloved Son and all those of His Holy Word, the very elect. Father loves each and every one of His children and wants all to come to the knowledge of spiritual truth since this is the only way to please our LORD and be a part of “His Perfect Plan.” Mankind was created for Father’s pleasure as is taught in Revelation – Chapter 4. You cannot please Father if you do not accept His Truths spiritually since it is your soul that will inherit Eternal Life by doing so.

Mark 4:10 says, “And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.” Once the multitude had dispersed and the disciples were alone with Christ Jesus, they asked our Lord to explain exactly what the Parable just taught meant. When you hear truth, you cannot help praying for understanding as you sink deeper into study, which is pleasing to our Father.

Mark 4:11 says, “And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all [these] things are done in parables:” “The kingdom of God” means “the King, Christ Jesus and His dominion, the people of this earth.” Once you come to understand the Parables as taught by Christ Jesus you become accountable for your spiritual acts and deeds according to these truths since you are a part of the very elect of Father God. This means that knowing the Truth of Father’s Word, Verse 29 of Chapter 3 is a teaching you want to have clear understanding of since it teaches of the “only unforgivable sin” and the fact that it can only be committed by one who is of the very elect of Father God.

Mark 4:12 says, “That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and [their] sins should be forgiven them.” This is why Father has placed some of His children in “the spirit of slumber” which means “the spirit of stupor” as is taught in Romans – Chapter 11 {Isaiah 29:10}. When you chose to believe the doctrines and traditions of the pulpit gurus over the Truth of Father’s Word, He will let you believe the lies and be deceived by satan as the anti-christ when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ. You cannot deny the Holy Spirit from speaking through you if you do not know the truth, which means you are not one of the very elect, therefore your soul is not in jeopardy of committing the unforgivable sin since your faith is based on lies and you are not accountable, having not been converted to Father’s Truths. You are however in the path of Father’s cup of wrath that shall be poured upon all those who bow down and worship satan when our True Christ returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Mark 4:13 says, “And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?” Christ Jesus answered His disciples and told them that if they did not understand the Parable He just taught, the “Parable of the Sower”, they will not understand any of His Parables. This same truth applies to all of mankind as we now live because as you claim to be a christian, if you do not understand this Parable, you will not understand any of the Parables as Christ teaches them, and “Parables are the Word of Father God Almighty and His Truths must be understood from The Beginning {Genesis} to The End {Revelation}.”

Mark 4:14 says, “The sower soweth the word.” The “seed” Christ Jesus is teaching about is the “Word of Father God Almighty.”

Mark 4:15 says, “And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.” This is teaching of those people who will hear Father’s Truths and accept it, and then reject it or let it lay sleeping within their minds. The “way side, a path” is hard and packed and this is likened to the minds of people who are hard and packed with doctrines and traditions of men; it is very difficult to get a seed of truth to penetrate and grow spiritually. This is why satan can easily upset their spiritual walk in life when he throws obstacles in their path. Whenever you say for example, “why did God let this happen?”, satan is attempting to push you from your true christian walk and you are allowing him to.

Mark 4:16 says, “And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;” These people receive seeds planted by the very elect, Father’s Truths, and become excited as they claim understanding and joy in hearing it.

Mark 4:17 says, “And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.” These same people who get all excited when hearing Father’s Word, lacking a spiritual root to hold on to these truths, when sharing or planting seeds that are rejected by their pulpit guru or any other hearer, becoming discouraged they immediately back away from truth and revert back to the doctrines and traditions of men. They give up rather than seek strength from continuing to study Father’s Word wherein there are blessings as you stand upon our “Rock, our Living Word who is Christ Jesus.”

Mark 4:18 says, “And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,” This is speaking of people who have minds that are too full, spiritually and carnally.

Mark 4:19 says, “And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” This is speaking of people who become very involved with carnal things within their life and being so caught up, fail to take time daily to study the Word of Father God. This can happen even to the very elect if we are not careful, having accepted truth, believing it is no longer necessary to study. Life has to have proportion wherein your family, job, activities, even attending church have to be kept in perspective since Father wants His children to enjoy their daily living and attend to all positive and negative happenings responsibly; however always remembering to show Father God love and bless Him the only way possible, and that is by studying His Word daily. It is necessary to never become so busy with life that you do not study {unfruitful} and meditate on the Truth of Father’s Word. This is the only way to become rooted in understanding with blessings from Father God for that increase of knowledge; this being our LORD’s promise to remind Him [Isaiah 43:26] when you ask, seek and knock.

Mark 4:20 says, “And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive [it], and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.” This is speaking of the very elect of Almighty God who when they hear truth, immediately receive and accept it, continuing to seek knowledge through faithful study so they can serve our LORD with great joy. Father knows what each of His children are able to manage and to some He gives small spiritual tasks and to others larger spiritual tasks as seeds of truth are planted. To those whom Father gives much, He expects much, however the rewards Father extends are equal because our LORD is fair and just. It takes many hands of responsibility to be a part of Father’s Perfect Plan and the measurement of your offering is based on what Father feels you can handle; however when you put all things together for the good works of our LORD, there is no partiality shown, all receiving a just reward. What is essential is that seeds of truth continue to be planted for any to receive who have eyes to see and ears to hear, be it one person or one hundred people who come to the knowledge of truth.

Mark 4:21 says, “And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?” A candle's purpose is to give off light so you can see. Christ Jesus is the “Light of the world, our Living Word” and when you have the “seal of truth within your mind”, as the candle, when you plant seeds of truth that “Light” is reflected which brings people who have eyes to see and ears to hear from the darkness [satan/kenites] of doctrines and traditions, babble and confusion to the “Light” of what “thus saith our LORD.” Therefore the very elect are not to keep truth to themselves, which is hiding it under a bushel or bed; rather it is to be shared.

Mark 4:22 says, “For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.” “Manifested” means “visible or known what has been hidden or unknown, to manifest, whether by words, or deeds, or in any other way.” Father God has foretold us all things within His Word and just as it is written it comes to pass and shall continue to come to pass exactly as it is scripted, faithful study unfolding the “secrets of the Kingdom of Father God.” We are a generation of faith and it is choice as to what people will believe or not believe. It is the responsibility of the very elect to continue in faithful study, planting seeds of truth, sharing Father’s Word and praying for people to receive it because they are accountable as to whether they want to walk in “Light {Christ Jesus}” or stumble in darkness [satan] and be a part of the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind when satan is cast to this earth as the first/false christ.

Mark 4:23 says, “If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.” This is a blessing from Father God when you put in the work through study, seeking that increase of understanding only Father can give so once you have knowledge, those secrets having unfolded, you become a worker for our LORD, broadcasting those same truths to any who will receive.

Mark 4:24 says, “And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.” As you come to understand Father’s Truths and share, planting seeds to others, continuing always in faithful study, Father will see to it that you continue to grow in spiritual knowledge. The more of Father’s Word you absorb with spiritual understanding, the more He will open to you, all the mysteries unfolding by the blessing of the Holy Spirit.

Mark 4:25 says, “For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.” When you study, accept, praise Father God and share truth, our LORD through Christ Jesus, our Living Word, will continue to reveal His truths to you by the blessing of His Holy Spirit. Proverbs 1:7 teaches that the beginning of knowledge is the love of Father God. For those who hear a truth and chose not to let it grow within their minds seeking more understanding, that same truth will die and depart from you since it is not being spiritually nourished.

Mark 4:26 says, “And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;” This is how all are or can be spiritually awakened to be a part of the dominion, “Christ Jesus our King.”

Mark 4:27 says, “And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.” Just as a farmer plants seeds for his crop, once that is accomplished, he goes about his daily routine. Nature {sunshine and rain} will cause those seeds to grow. The same is true when seeds of truth are planted within the minds of those with ears to hear and eyes to see. Once those seeds have been planted by the very elect, they go on their way, continuing about their daily duties to Father God. It is now the responsibility of the hearer to seek understanding {sunshine and rain} from Father God who will cause those seeds of truth to grow when you study Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, meditating and praying.

Mark 4:28 says, “For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.” Here is the stage of growth, nature, from a seed planted to a full, hearty ear of corn. This is an analogy of the hearer having seeds of truth planted within their fertile minds. Just as Father God causes that corn to grow from seeds planted, so shall He grant understanding of His Word to produce good fruit when those seeking wisdom of His Word ask, seek and knock for that full fruit of spiritual knowledge.

Mark 4:29 says, “But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.” The very elect plant seeds of truth, the hearer prepares their minds for those seeds to spiritually root, seeking the increase of understanding only Father God can give. At the time of harvest the mysteries of the Kingdom of Father God having unfolded, all shall be a part of the gathering to receive rewards or chastisements, based on choices made.

Mark 4:30 says, “And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?” Christ Jesus is asking what the “Kingdom of God” can be likened or compared to.

Mark 4:31 says, “[It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:” The mustard seed is the tiniest of seeds planted. This is likened to the twelve disciples, the tiniest group amongst the religious community who understands and teaches the truth of Father’s Word. The very elect have a large charge of duty since most of the people of this world find joy in playing church, which means the very elect are few in number. This is documented within Father's Word as is taught in Revelation - Chapter 13 as most of the world will bow a knee to satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ, in their ignorance of Father's Word, believing he is our True Christ here to rapture them away.

Mark 4:32 says, “But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.” That tiny mustard seed germinates and becomes the largest of all the herb plants. This is what the “Kingdom of Father God is likened to.” The twelve disciples, the very elect of this generation, Biblically literate, as compared to most religious people who are Biblically illiterate, will stretch throughout the whole earth and plant seeds of truth according to Father’s Word and true christianity is going to become greater than the false teachings of doctrines and traditions of men. As times goes on the very elect will multiply as seeds of truth are planted and Father’s Truths will continue to spread and produce good fruit. Father’s Word is the greatest love of all.

Mark 4:33 says, “And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear [it].” The “Word of Almighty God” is there for all who have eyes to see and ears to hear and our LORD will see to you understanding His Truths when you study and show yourself approved.

Mark 4:34 says, But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.” This is why it is so important to study all the “Books of the Bible” as they were written, Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Precept upon Precept. Father God’s Word is only hidden to those who fail for whatever reason to study His Truths. Christ Jesus went on to “expound” which means “to unloose, untie, to make clear, explain” the “seeds” which are the “Truths of Father God's Word”; the “field” is the “world {people}”; He that sowed the “good seed is Christ Jesus {His children the very elect}”, and he that “choked the good seed is satan [his children the kenites].”

Mark 4:35 says, “And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.” “Christ Jesus is our Passover” and at the appointed time all shall “pass over” from these flesh bodies to our spiritual bodies when our Lord returns to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Mark 4:36 says, “And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.” Christ Jesus is the Word of Father God Almighty. The very elect are christians of the many-membered Body of our Lord and all who come to the knowledge of the truth are as the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia and will continue to follow the teachings of Christ until He returns at the Seventh Trump.

Mark 4:37 says, “And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.” A great storm consisting of doctrines and traditions of men with the kenites at the helm while the Biblically illiterate rush with them against the Truth of Father's Word with their outpouring of lies and false teachings.

Mark 4:38 says, “And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?” Christ Jesus had said to the disciples, “Let us pass over unto the other side.” There was nothing to fear since our Lord had already declared that they would reach their destination. Do not doubt that which is spoken by our Father who is "Faithful and True."

Mark 4:39 says, “And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” Christ Jesus commanded the peace and it was. This was a test of faith, hearing and understanding. When your life is sailing a course with Christ Jesus at the helm, there is nothing to fear. There are no obstacles that you will not overcome when your faith and works are a marriage by the blessings of the Holy Spirit.

Mark 4:40 says, “And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?” Christ Jesus was God Himself walking with His children. All of these things are occurring as a teaching for us as we now live. Knowledge strengths faith and when you have understanding of Father’s Word, knowing those things that shall consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age gives you the courage and trust to continue studying, planting seeds of truth and extending pure love for Father God and Christ Jesus, always thankful for the Holy Spirit which brings you peace in the love of Father God and His protection. Faith will give you the courage to stand at the appointed time.

Mark 4:41 says, “And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” They had seen the many miracles of Christ Jesus and should not even have had to ask this question even though it was the first time they had seen nature succumb to the commandment of our Lord. “This Man” is “Emmanuel” which means “God with us.” Our Lord would soon be crucified on that cross at Calvary and the disciples as the very elect of this generation we now live in will continue to sail on ships knowing as Christ said, “Let us pass over unto the other side.” The ride will be rough at times as seeds of truth are planted, however there will be victory as our Lord sits on His Throne at the “Right Hand of Father God Almighty”, the comfort of His Holy Spirit with us always. So if you do not want your ship to fill with the doctrines and traditions of men and sink, have your life raft in place which is the Word of Father God Almighty Himself.

THE BOOK OF MARK

CHRIST JESUS IS OUR PASSOVER - OUR LIVING WORD

Mark – Chapter 3

Mark 3:1 says, “And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.” This is a man who had a handicap of the flesh, a paralyzed hand. Take note that Christ has entered into a church that is supposed to be the "House of Father God" where His children come to hear truth that heals spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally.

Mark 3:2 says, “And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.” Christ Jesus has entered into what is supposed to be a house of Father God, yet you have those congregated there, the religious community, waiting to see if our Lord honors His Father and blesses this man with a healing. Think about it; if you cannot go into a church and receive healing, spiritually and physically, through Father God; why are you there? The fear of those calling themselves christians who are not, is that when you come to the knowledge of Truth, you no longer need to warm their benches which means a loss for their ill-gotten gain from your pockets being depleted. Just as these hypocrites watching Christ Jesus know, have witnessed His Power and Might, so do those standing in their pulpits today know of the Magnificence of Father God that is established through plant seeding by the very elect, however the love of money is greater for them than loving Father God and teaching truth that will set you free. “Accuse” means “to make an unfounded accusation – Accuser is also one of the names of satan.”

Mark 3:3 says, “And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.” Christ Jesus commanded the man with the paralyzed hand to remove himself from the crowd and stand before our Lord so everyone can see what is about to take place. Christ Jesus is the Light of the world and does nothing in darkness. Father God’s Word is not to be hidden or kept secret. It is necessary for you to understand that your rest or Sabbath is not a day of the week as the heathen teach; “your rest and Sabbath is Christ Jesus who is with you every day” when you live your life according to His teachings [Colossians – Chapter 2].

Mark 3:4 says, “And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.” Christ Jesus is now speaking to the religious hypocrites [kenites/Biblically illiterate], those who play church and is asking them about the laws of Father God. The scribes and Pharisees here are seeking a reason to accuse and murder Christ Jesus and our Lord is teaching those with eyes to see and ears to hear how to recognize the fakes calling themselves christians. This is accomplished just as Christ is showing us, by questioning their knowledge of Father’s Word. You will find that just as these scribes and Pharisees had no answer, most of the pulpit gurus of today will have no answer either. It is necessary to know, understand and keep the laws of our Father God and not the laws instituted by the doctrines and traditions of men that keep you Biblically illiterate.

Mark 3:5 says, “And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched [it] out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.” “Anger” means “wrath, indignation.” “Hardness” means “dulled perception – stupid/blind.” Christ Jesus was angry at these religious hypocrites calling themselves heads of the church because they were stupid and blind to truth, having no wisdom of Almighty God’s Word. When you follow satan, that is what your life consists of, darkness, babble and confusion. They had no right to be in the pulpit because they had minds and hearts far from Father God, teaching their lies, doctrines and traditions which does not and will never please our Father. Christ Jesus healed this man in the presence of the religious hypocrites [kenites] and all who were assembled there. It is necessary to know and understand that Father God Himself took the flesh, born from above through Christ Jesus, who was sacrificed for the sins of mankind on that cross at Calvary because our “Lord is Perfect.” If you dare to be so “stupid” as to think that Father God will not be “angry” if you bow a knee to the first/false christ [satan] to be cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind, you are in for a rude awakening. The cup of wrath Christ Jesus prayed about in Matthew – Chapter 26 {37 – 46} was not for Himself as the Biblically illiterate teach. Our Lord was praying for all of mankind who are Biblically illiterate and do not know that satan will be cast to this earth before our Lord returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords – the Second Advent.” Our Lord was praying for all of mankind who do not study for themselves and believe in the rapture, the any moment, fly away doctrines that the Biblically illiterate teach to keep you in darkness which is of satan. Father God will not be happy when you dance with the devil because you thought he was our True Christ here to rapture you away. Father God has a right to be very angry when He has given to His children the "greatest love of all", He, Himself born from above through Christ Jesus to sacrifice Himself on the cross for children He created for His pleasure [Revelation - Chapter 4].

Mark 3:6 says, “And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.” “Herodians” means “Herod and partisans, followers - governmental, politics, heroic – brave in war, suspicious and cruel.” The four hidden dynasties of satan are religion, politics, economics and education. Here you clearly see the marriage between religion and politics as heads get together to begin plotting the murder of our Lord Jesus Christ, and on their Sabbath day doing evil, because Christ was depleting their economics and educating Father’s children as to what “thus saith our LORD.” Christ Jesus taught about who these are that are taking counsel against Him in John – Chapter 8; kenites, the children of satan.

Mark 3:7 says, “But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,” “Galilee” means “circuit/city.” “Judaea” means “he shall be praised.” This is the very reason why the religious community plotting to murder our Lord was so upset. The people were following “Truth who is Christ Jesus our Living Word” and deserting the doctrines, lies and traditions of the hypocrites calling themselves christians. Christ Jesus was stripping their playground which means once again, their pockets were going to feel the effect of what occurs when people stop playing church and love Father God enough to show themselves approved studying Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Precept upon Precept, seeking that understanding only our LORD can give when you seek wisdom in the name of Christ Jesus, by the blessing of His Holy Spirit. The kenites, children of satan, want to keep you in babble and confusion so that when satan is cast to this earth as the first/false christ, deceiving most of the world into believing he is our true christ, he is in a position to steal your soul unto the same death Father has judged him to, becoming ashes from within, which is death of the soul.

Mark 3:8 says, “And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and [from] beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.” “Jerusalem” means “set ye double peace – teaching of peace.” “Idumaea” means “to cause to show red/Edom – descendants of Esau.” “Jordan” means “the descender – to send down/to take down.” “Tyre” means “a rock.” “Sidon” means “hunting.” The people, the good and the bad, were coming from all parts of the earth to be with and listen to the teachings of Christ Jesus. Unlike today, there were no cars, buses, planes, trains, etc. These people walked most often and nothing, nothing at all stood in their way because truth will do that for you when you seek it with a pure heart. Father’s Word eases the burdens of life as it gives you the strength to endure whatever obstacles come into your path because wisdom sets you free and gives you power over all enemies. Nothing, no obstacle will keep you from the love of our Father God if you seek, ask and knock.

Mark 3:9 says, “And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.” “Throng” means “to press hard upon.” There were so many people, Christ Jesus had to protect His disciples and Himself since our Lord was on a mission commissioned by Father God and by being on the small ship there was distance between He and the people. You see here how the true word of Father God draws those with eyes to see and ears to hear as they scuttled to be near our Lord to hear every word that came forth from His mouth. As we now live, these buildings called churches are spilling over with people who are starved to hear the truth of Father’s Word as the pulpit gurus play church and steal from these poor souls who are either too lazy or lack the confidence to study for themselves so they can judge the tree by its fruit, receiving blessings from Father God wherein comes wisdom of His Word. The very elect plant seeds of truth for any who will receive them, however it takes work for that seed to grow and that growth will never, ever come from these religious whore houses [spiritually speaking] calling themselves churches. If you want to play church with your hallelujah corners, stay where you are or are not. If you want to be pleasing to Father, a part of the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus, a servant to our Father, under and doing His will so you are able to stand on that dreadful day, seek our Father's Word while it may be found.

Mark 3:10 says, “For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.” “Pressed” means “to fall upon, to rush.” Those sick wanted to touch Christ Jesus, having faith that they would be healed by touching even the hem of His garment. We are a generation of faith and believing makes you whole; that same faith shown by the woman who touched the hem of the garment of Christ Jesus and was made whole [Matthew - Chapter - 9].

Mark 3:11 says, “And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.” The evil spirits that had possession of people knew Christ was the Son of Father God Almighty as is taught in Isaiah 7:14 which says, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel {means God with us}.

Mark 3:12 says, “And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.” Christ Jesus commanded these evil spirits to be silent since it was not yet time for mankind to know that Christ Jesus was Father God Almighty Himself personified within the flesh. Father God had a perfect plan which was to be the crucifixion of Christ Jesus as our “Perfect Sacrificial Lamb, defeating death [satan]” for mankind for one and all times. It was necessary for these evil spirits to be quiet so that all prophecy could come to be exactly as it was written, death, who is satan, being defeated {destroyed - ashes from within - death of his soul} when our Lord was crucified upon that cross at Calvary.

Mark 3:13 says, “And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth [unto him] whom he would: and they came unto him.” At this time Christ Jesus is calling those He had commanded to “follow me”, which are the very elect even to this day, all having been chosen before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age [Ephesians – Chapter 1]. Our Lord did not hold a revival; He chose a select few to come unto Him. Matthew 22:14 says, “For many are called, but few [are] chosen.”

Mark 3:14 says, “And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,” “Twelve” means “governmental perfection.” The very elect are seed planters who teach and share the truths of Father’s Word with all who have eyes to see and ears to hear. “Ordained” means “to make one ready, appointed, to cause, bring about.” While the disciples had our “Living Word, Christ Jesus” walking with and teaching them, the very elect as we now live have this same “Living Word {Christ Jesus}, the Holy Bible” who is our teacher when you study Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse {disciple, disciplined to learn truth}, in the “Name of Christ Jesus”, receiving the increase of understanding {apostle, one sent forth to teach} “only Father God can give” by the blessing of His “Holy Spirit.” These are the credentials required to teach the Word of Father God Almighty, not the alphabet soup provided by man with their PhD’s of nothingness.

Mark 3:15 says, “And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:” Christ Jesus gave His disciples power through His Holy Spirit since no person can heal sickness or cast out devils, only Father God can in the Name of Christ Jesus, when the one seeking that healing has “faith.” The very elect as we now live have this same power through the Holy Spirit, understanding they are vessels used and “all power and might is from Father God Almighty, and He alone in the Precious Name of Christ Jesus, our intercessor to Father’s Throne of grace and mercy.” Love for Father and Christ Jesus, salvation, faith, repentance of sins are the path that leads all to a spiritual healing when you study and understand the meat of Father's Word [Hebrews - Chapter 5].

Mark 3:16 says, “And Simon he surnamed Peter;” “Peter” means “rock.” “Christ Jesus if the solid Rock upon which Father’s church stands; is built upon.” When the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus, the true church {christians} has a foundation that is solid, built on our “Living Word who is our Lord Jesus Christ”, there is no evil that satan can perpetrate because your faith cannot be shaken or moved.

Mark 3:17 says, “And James the [son] of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:” “James” means “supplanter” and “John” means “YAHOVAH is a gracious giver.” “Boanerges” means “sons of thunder - seems to denote fiery zeal that may be likened to a thunder storm when they brought forth truth.”

Mark 3:18 says, “And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,” “Andrew” means “manly.” “Philip” means “lover of horses.” “Bartholomew” means “son of Tolmai {furrowed}.” “Matthew” means “gift of YAHOVAH.” “Thomas” means “a twin.” “James” means “supplanter.” “Thaddaeus” means “large hearted, courageous.” “Simon” means “rock.” Christ Jesus knew, from the Spirit or First Earth Age, all that He has chosen to “follow Him.”

Mark 3:19 says, “And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.” “Judas” means “he shall be praised.” The disciples having been “chosen”, Christ Jesus returned home once again. Judas was chosen since Father had a plan that had to happen exactly as it was written and there was to be a betrayal from one chosen by Christ Jesus that all things may be fulfilled exactly as they were foretold. Judas repented of His sins as is taught in [Matthew - Chapter 27].

Mark 3:20 says, “And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.” There were so many people coming to Christ Jesus and the disciples for a healing based on their faith, spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally that our Lord and His chosen children could not even separate from them long enough to replenish themselves with food and drink. Thank our Father God Almighty that "Christ Jesus" is our "Bread of Life"; partaking of the same sustaining your spiritual body.

Mark 3:21 says, “And when his friends heard [of it], they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.” “Friends” means “kinsmen, relatives.” The earthly family of Christ Jesus {His mother and relatives} were concerned that our Lord had lost His senses since He was teaching against the false religious beliefs being taught, which means once again, the religious community was suffering financially, and they were saying this to protect our Lord from the evil-doers. The people were gathering to hear Christ who was teaching truth, healing the sick and afflicted, casting out demons before their very eyes, and challenging the religious hypocrites who were the children of satan, sitting in the seat of Moses. Naturally, the family of Christ; not knowing He is Father God Himself in the flesh, were afraid that someone would hurt Him since most assuredly the religious hypocrites were plotting to murder our Lord. They did not understand that all things were occurring just as Father God intended.

Mark 3:22 says, “And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.” “Beelzebub [Beelzeboul]” means “lord of the flies, their house, dunghill – another name for satan (the prince of evil spirits/demons).” The scribes are the big guns of the religious community called in to help out since the Pharisees were failing miserably to stand against Christ Jesus. Here you have those with the spirit of satan accusing our Lord Jesus Christ of their daily living which is perpetrating evil, babble and confusion, and this is a serious charge against our Lord. They are trying to cause the people following Christ to question His power and might which is impossible if you have the Seal of Father’s Truth within your mind, meaning you have eyes to see and ears to hear what “thus saith our LORD.” Pulpit gurus, those religious hypocrites, act in this same manner today when the very elect plant seeds of truth that cause their congregations to leave churches full of darkness, Biblical illiteracy, babble and confusion. Truth removes that veil of of emotional highs perpetrated by play-acting the hypocrites perform very well because they have no truth in them. Remember earlier Christ Jesus called them “stupid.”

Mark 3:23 says, “And he called them [unto him], and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?” Christ Jesus is asking these stupid ones making a charge against Him of why would satan try or want to cast out himself. It is not natural under any circumstance for anyone to work against themselves. The children of satan, the kenites, are so very stupid. They are so stupid that they continue to this very day to follow satan who has been judged and condemned to death of the soul by Father God. They walk in darkness and speak only babble that keeps confusion alive.

Mark 3:24 says, “And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.” A kingdom can only stand if the dominion is positioned stable under the “King.” Christ Jesus is our "King" and all who follow Him are "His dominion."

Mark 3:25 says, “And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” This is why it is necessary to rid a home {your spiritual body} of anything that brings trouble and do so immediately since it will otherwise surely bring about separation problems; sure unrest. Surround yourself with those who "stand" on our "Rock who is Christ Jesus" and separate yourself, never casting your pearls {truth} before swine, from those who stand on their false rock who is satan.

Mark 3:26 says, “And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.” Christ is teaching these stupid ones that if satan stands up against himself, he would naturally destroy himself. This is an analogy our Lord is using since satan, as vain and stupid as he is, would never stand against himself to his own destruction since he is the destroyer, which means he destroys not himself, rather everyone who lets him into their life.

Mark 3:27 says, “No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.” Christ is telling these kenites that He must first bound and destroy death who is satan [the strong man] in his own house [satan’s entity], before taking over those possessed [satan’s goods] with satan’s evil spirit [spoiled goods] to make them whole in the Spirit of Father God. This is why the kenites, even if it were possible for them to cast out evil spirits could never do so since if they had that power, they would be casting out their own father who is satan. Christ Jesus binds satan before evil spirits are cast out.

Mark 3:28 says, “Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:” When you repent with a pure heart, and be assured Father God knows this truth, your sins against Father and Christ Jesus, our LORD will forgive you when you do so before His Throne in the Name of Christ Jesus.

Mark 3:29 says, “But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:” This is the unpardonable sin and it can only be committed by the very elect of Father God Almighty. The unforgivable sin is to “blaspheme” the Holy Spirit and this can only be committed by the very elect of our Father as is taught in Luke - Chapter 12 {10 – 12} when they are handed up before the synagogues of satan, that strong man, and refuse to allow the Holy Spirit to speak the truth of Father's Word through them. The very elect, at the appointed time, shall not premeditate what shall be spoken since Father God through His Holy Spirit will place within their hearts and minds that Word that should be delivered during the hour of temptation when satan as the anti-christ has been cast to this earth as the first/false christ. Therefore, if the very elect refuse to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through them at that time, it is unforgivable. Christ Jesus is teaching this Parable and the scribes and Pharisees have no understanding of what our Lord is even saying because they have spirits that are evil and have murder on their minds.

Mark 3:30 says, “Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.” The fact that the scribes made this accusation against Christ Jesus who is Perfect and Pure is why our Lord taught this Parable.

Mark 3:31 says, “There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.” They are calling for Christ Jesus because they are His family and loving Him so much, are naturally concerned about our Lord’s safety and want Him to be with them.

Mark 3:32 says, “And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.” Knowing the family of our Lord was there seeking Him, the people let Christ Jesus know this while He was yet teaching. This is family love and they heard the plots of murdering their Loved One and naturally wanted to do all within their power to protect our Lord. Christ is on a mission for Father God and there is nothing or no one who will stand in the way of Father's prophecy being fulfilled. Their love for Christ Jesus is beautiful, however the love Father has for His children is the "greatest love of all."

Mark 3:33 says, “And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?” Christ often teaches with a question and is asking the people, “who are the members of My family?”

Mark 3:34 says, “And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!” Christ Jesus observed all the many people who were there listening to His teachings and proclaimed all of these people to be His mother and His brethren; His family. All of these people loved and believed in Christ Jesus and make up the many-membered Body of our Lord which makes all believers of the family of Christ Jesus. Our Lord shed His blood on that cross at Calvary for His family who are all of Father’s children as He opens that door for any who will to walk in. Christ knew His mother and brethren were there and He loved them and by no means were insulting them. However our Lord was fulfilling the plan of Almighty God and there is no earthly matter that can stand in the way of Father’s plan of salvation for all of His children.

Mark 3:35 says, “For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.” Being one Body in Christ Jesus makes all of mankind who serve Father God a part of His family. In order for the plan of Father God to be fulfilled there has to be one Body in Christ Jesus and each part of that body must adhere to what Father directs it to do so that all things work according to His good will. Father God gives all according to what they are able to handle, some much, others little, however all of it together are the ingredients that make up the family of Christ Jesus since He was born from above to offer salvation for all of mankind, including those who had passed away before our Lord walked upon the earth. So if you are under the will of Father God, you are a member of the family of Christ Jesus.

THE BOOK OF MARK

CHRIST JESUS IS OUR PASSOVER - OUR LIVING WORD

Mark – Chapter 2

Mark 2:1 says, “And again he entered into Capernaum after [some] days; and it was noised that he was in the house.” Earlier, Christ Jesus had left Capernaum and now He has returned with His disciples and the people were immediately aware of our Lord’s presence. You feel the presence of Father God within your spiritual self when you speak with Him in prayer {communicating} through Christ Jesus.

Mark 2:2 says, “And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive [them], no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.” Christ Jesus is our Living Word, the truth of the Holy Bible. When you listen to, share and teach those truths, just as people flooded this house of God where our Lord was teaching “thus saith our LORD”, so will those of this generation who have eyes to see and ears to hear flood those church's teaching truth. There will be no need to act as the pulpit gurus do within their churches with theatrics and drama to keep a congregation involved in their hallelujah assemblies that create emotional highs and lows for those calling themselves christians, never hearing real truth; playing church.

Mark 2:3 says, “And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.” The “one {unity}” who lay sick {paralyzed} was carried by “four {creation, world}” other people, which means there were five in total, the number “five” meaning “grace or Father God’s goodness, unmerited favor.”

Mark 2:4 says, “And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken [it] up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.” They could not get close to Christ Jesus with this one who was paralyzed because there were so many people between them and our Lord. Here we see true faith in our Father God as these four actually climbed to the top of the house and removed the roof from the home where Christ was teaching from, and lowered the one sick before the presence of our Lord. They did not let anything or anyone stand between them and Christ Jesus, overcoming a difficult task because they knew, their faith was that strong, that our Lord Jesus Christ based on their faith, would heal this paralyzed man. Their actions surely captured the attention of Christ Jesus as He loves faithful children. We are a generation who now lives by faith and not by sight. Bless Father God as you show Him how faithful you are to Him; study our Father's Word and walk the path of a Christ-like child of Almighty God.

Mark 2:5 says, “When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.” Christ Jesus did not say this paralyzed man was healed, He said, “Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.” There is only “One” who can forgive sins and that is “Father God Almighty.” Here our Lord Jesus Christ has taught us just who He is declaring “when you have seen the Son, you have seen the Father [John 14:9]”, which means “Christ Jesus is Father God Almighty Himself” within the flesh, having been born from above. Our Lord has just declared this fact as He forgave this one sick of all sins committed. Love Father God, believe in Christ Jesus, repent from a pure heart, receive Father's forgiveness and do your best to live according to the Word of Almighty God which you have to study to know.

Mark 2:6 says, “But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,” These scribes are the same pulpit gurus we have today with their big fancy churches and even the small church buildings on every corner. Just as these scribes [kenites] are listening to and watching all that Christ Jesus is doing as He teaches, saves and heals His children, the pulpit gurus of today watch the very elect who share and plant seeds of truth. The reason they listen and watch is because they are not ordained with wisdom of Father’s Word and they are not only jealous, also fearful of pulling people away from their whore houses {spiritually speaking} which means their ill-gotten gain will be depleted. They let the kenites [children of satan] sit at the helm of their church buildings and serve the devil, who is satan. So this is where the plotting against our Lord Jesus Christ begins, again, the kenites at the helm of this murderous conspiracy.

Mark 2:7 says, “Why doth this [man] thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?” Recognize that these kenites [children of satan deceiving the ignorant people into believing they are ordained of Father God], are speaking to each other, whispering as cowards do. What they are saying is this One calling Himself Christ Jesus is a fake because only Almighty God can forgive sins, therefore our Lord is blasphemous or demonstrating disrespect against our Father God. They knew who Christ Jesus is just as they do in this generation, however they do the deeds of their father satan, which is to keep people of this world off-balance, walking in babble and confusion, which draws them away from the love of our Father God.

Mark 2:8 says, “And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?” In an instant, before they could even put their thoughts together within their devious minds, Christ Jesus asked them straight up why they were thinking as they were against Him. “In His spirit” is the “Holy Spirit.” It is through the Holy Spirit that you communicate with our Father, who knows all of your thoughts, in the Name of Christ Jesus.

Mark 2:9 says, “Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?” Christ Jesus so often taught by asking questions, and here our Lord is asking these pathetic, wicked, ignorant souls which would be most important to say, “thy sins be forgiven thee or Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?” Simply stated, which would be the most logical to express. Christ Jesus is challenging them. This is why it is so important to have understanding of Father’s Word because these same types of so-called religious leaders are sitting as heads of churches throughout the whole earth.

Mark 2:10 says, “But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)” Christ Jesus is now speaking directly to the man who is sick with the palsy {paralyzed} so that all present will now come to know and understand just who Christ Jesus is and that He has all Power and Authority in Heaven and on earth, for “Christ Jesus and Father God are One.”

Mark 2:11 says, “I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.” Christ Jesus, having healed this man, has commanded him to get up by his own strength, pick up the bed he was laying upon and being healed by his faith, according to his own vigor, return to his home. When you walk a Christ-like path as you now live within your flesh body, pleasing Father God, your home with be forever in the Third or Eternal Earth Age.

Mark 2:12 says, “And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.” The man did exactly as Christ Jesus had commanded and all the people, in awe, proclaimed Father God’s Power and Might because they had never seen anything such as this before. Naturally they would not have seen this glory of Father God before this time because Christ Jesus was not with mankind until He was born from above as our Savior, “Emmanuel which means God with us.” So our Lord has forgiven this man’s spiritual body of his sins and healed his physical body as well.

Mark 2:13 says, “And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.” Truth is what keeps away the famine caused by Biblical illiteracy. Just as those people followed and listened as Christ Jesus taught the Word of Father God Almighty, nourishing their souls, as we now live, many, many people flock to church buildings seeking these same truths. Problem is, they will find no truth there because those standing in the pulpits were not ordained by Father God and the greatest of them are kenites, children of satan. They have no knowledge of His Word because they are too busy stealing your money so they have stolen blessings, convincing you to receive blessings you have to give to their cause, and people fall for that ignorance. Christ Jesus paid the price on that cross at Calvary for all who want to have wisdom of Father’s Word to receive it without paying for it according to the flesh. Father’s Word is spiritual and our LORD will not deprive anyone who seeks truth with a pure, longing heart, and studying faithfully to show yourself approved.

Mark 2:14 says, “And as he passed by, he saw Levi the [son] of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.” “Levi” means “joined.” “Alphaeus” means “changing.” Levi was a tax collector. Notice once again, Christ Jesus did not ask Levi who is “Matthew {gift of Father God}” if he wanted to follow Him. Our Lord said, “Follow me” and Matthew did so without question, immediately. This again was because Christ Jesus knew him from the Spiritual or First Earth Age. Father God knows who is very elect are as is taught in Ephesians – Chapter 1 {4}. Our LORD knows He can trust and count on His very elect to do according to His good will and be a part of His Plan without question because they are endowed with the Holy Spirit and study, standing on our “Rock” who is Christ Jesus, our Living Word.

Mark 2:15 says, “And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.” Many of these people who followed Christ Jesus at this time were doing so because of the miracles our Lord blessed them with, and while they listened to the teachings of Christ Jesus; they were in awe of the power our Lord expressed through healings. In other words they were in admiration of those things they could see, feel and touch over those teachings that were spiritual.

Mark 2:16 says, “And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?” As it was then, so it is now. These self-righteous hypocrites are bothered by the fact that Christ Jesus was with those people the religious community threw to the wayside. You hear this in churches all the time as those standing in the pulpits condemn people of the world who most likely have more pure love from their hearts for Father God than those claiming religion and love with their lips and have hearts far from our LORD. The very elect of Father God know it is their responsibility to plant seeds of truth to those who are lost in the ways of the world so they come to accept and believe in Christ Jesus, repenting of their sins in His Holy Name before the Throne of Father God Almighty as they declare pure love for Him.

Mark 2:17 says, “When Jesus heard [it], he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” So now you see the difference between those who are righteous and those who are self-righteous hypocrites. If you are endowed with Father’s Spirit, you know that there is no need to share seeds of truth of salvation to those who claim to be saved, rather to those who need to hear and understand the salvation message so they can come to repentance. The cure for those spiritually sick is being taught truth so they have understanding of the Word of Father God Almighty since He loves all of His children. Christ Jesus is showing His election what they are expected to do so they are pleasing to our Father.

Mark 2:18 says, “And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?” The religious community wanted to know why it was necessary for them to fast as those in mourning while the disciples of Christ Jesus did not.

Mark 2:19 says, “And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.” Christ Jesus is the Word of Father God Almighty and He was walking with His disciples; therefore there was no need for them to fast since they were full of joy being with our Lord. The disciples were happy as they walked with Christ, our Bridegroom, and making preparation for the wedding feast that shall come when Christ Jesus returns to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords.” The very elect of Father God as we now live share this same joy as our Lord left His Holy Spirit to abide with us as preparation is being made for the wedding feast when our Lord returns to this earth for the marriage; seeds of truth being planted until that time.

Mark 2:20 says, “But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.” When Christ Jesus was crucified upon that cross at Calvary, it was necessary for the disciples {very elect, bride of Christ}, to fast since it would be “fifty {Holy Spirit}” days after our Lord ascended to sit at the right hand of our Father in Heaven, that the Holy Spirit, which comforts hearts and minds, bringing spiritual peace even to this day, would abide with mankind. Acts – Chapter 2 teaches of the Holy Spirit residing with mankind on “Pentecost Day.” “Pentecost” means “the fiftieth day.”

Mark 2:21 says, “No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.” This is an analogy wherein if you have an old garment worn and washed many times, having gone from a size 12 to a size 8 {shrinkage} as a result of wash and wear, and you take a new piece of fabric to cover a place worn, when washed the new mended fabric would bulk and cause that apparel to look even worse since it will not shrink to match the old cloth, rather puckering. Spiritually speaking, using this analogy, Christ Jesus is saying you cannot take new truth and put it into a self-righteous hypocrite for them to understand because it will just cause them to bulk up with attitude since they cannot accept the real Word of Father God, that Good Gospel. They love their doctrines and traditions of men and the kenites [children of satan, male and female] see to it that those lies continue to spread through the congregations so they are ripe for the deception of satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ.

Mark 2:22 says, “And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.” This is an analogy to say once again, that just as a wine skin becomes hard with aged wine within it, not fit to put new one into because it has lost the ability to be flexible, so are the hardened hearts of those calling themselves christians, and are not, who will not give up their false teachings or beliefs to accept the Truth of Father’s Word, that new wine with a new flexible spirit, rather being as a hard piece of clay that can no longer be shaped or molded. Therefore, people who have minds that have not been polluted with the doctrines and traditions of the religious community are far more receiving to hear Father’s Truth because their eyes will open and their ears will hear what “thus saith our LORD” with joy as He molds and shapes them with sought after understanding, and not what has become traditionally taught. It is impossible to understand Father’s Word if you are not “studying Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Precept upon Precept.” It is impossible to understand Father’s Word if you are heart-hearted and not pliable by the blessings of the Holy Spirit, understanding the teachings of Christ Jesus, studying to show yourself approved, receiving the increase of understanding only Father God can give.

Mark 2:23 says, “And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.” The disciples were hungry and picked the corn as they went through the field to sustain their flesh bodies. Spiritually, "the corn fields" means "fit for sowing, to sow, scatter seed" being the teachings of the very elect who plant seeds of truth, which is Father's Word for all who will receive it. "To pluck" means "to raise up, elevate, lift up - to draw up, a fish {true christianity}." "The ears of corn" means "to stand." You seek the truth of our Father's Word, wherein you are walking a Christ-like path and with understanding and the blessings of our Father, you are able to stand against satan when he is cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind. Father God cannot choose you to stand if you have no knowledge of His Word.

Mark 2:24 says, “And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?” Here go the Pharisees [kenites] with their false doctrines and traditions of men speaking about what is unlawful to our “Living Word Himself, Christ Jesus.” Christ did not say this was an unlawful act, the Pharisees did. Our Lord did not say it was unlawful for them to pluck and eat of the corn from the field on the sabbath day. As it was, so it is today as the pulpit gurus try to discredit the seeds of truth planted by the very elect which is not possible if you have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Mark 2:25 says, “And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?” This is that time when David with his following was being chased by Saul and he, as well as all with him, did eat when his flesh was hungry, with the blessings of Father God, who always provides and takes care of His own “abundantly.”

Mark 2:26 says, “How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?” “Abiathar” means “Father of abundance.” David went right into the synagogue taking all that was with him and they did eat [I Samuel – Chapter 21] because he was a priest, his following as well, of Father God, just as the very elect of this generation we now live in are, as they plant seeds of truth for all who will accept and seek the increase of understanding only Father God can give. “Christ Jesus is our Sabbath” and when you are a seed planter of His Word, the “Sabbath is every day” and the very elect work, teaching and sharing truth while those listening are resting and want to be fed. It is necessary to use the physical analogies to understand spiritual truth.

Mark 2:27 says, “And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:” “Sabbath” means “rest {Christ Jesus is our Rest/Sabbath [Hebrews – Chapter 4]}.” Father God gave us rest, the Sabbath, which is resting, refreshing yourself in the “Word of Father God Almighty, who is Christ Jesus, our Living Word.” It is a time to spend with Father praying and studying “thus saith our LORD” and this should be a feeding you do for your spiritual body every day.

Mark 2:28 says, “Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.” “Christ Jesus is our Lord; our Rest, our Sabbath.” This is where your peace of mind comes from and you can be sure if you do not have a spirit which communicates with Father God through Christ Jesus, there is upheaval within your spirit, within your life. As is taught in I Thessalonians – Chapter 5, when you follow Christ Jesus, you are children of the day {light}. Understanding truth grafts you to a part of the very elect of Father God, wherein you are a true christian, being a follower of Christ Jesus who is our Passover [I Corinthians – Chapter 5]. Our “Lord” is our “Highest Sabbath {having shed His blood on that cross at Calvary, defeating death [satan]}, for all of mankind.” This is why the “Sabbath {Christ Jesus}” was made for mankind and is not a particular time or day of the week [Colossians – Chapter 2] as the heathens teach; it is every day when you “abide with Father God Almighty through Christ Jesus, by the blessings of His Holy Spirit.”
