The True Exodus

From now he’s ages it is all over. He celebrated this weekend the resurrection and the passover, and then we closed the book for a year, and that is not the story of the bible. Mysteries of god are mysterious in character, yet they are proclaimed to all who can understand them. In his letter to the corinthians, the first one, we’ll read this in the second chapter of first corinthians, he is telling the story that their faith may not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of god.1227 ¶1

Now he speaks of a different wisdom altogether. He said, yet among the mature we teach wisdom. It is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, for they are doomed to pass away. He speaks of an entirely different wisdom which he claims to be the secret, the hidden secret of god, which god decreed before the ages for our glorifications. Then he says, for what person knows the thoughts of a man and not of himself carrying that which is his Brew to be posso. In other words, we are long gone. Man except the spirit of the man which dwells in him, so also no one comprehends the thoughts of god except the spirit.1227 ¶2

Now we are told after the resurrection those who were closest to it still did not understand it. For when he appeared they said, lord will you now at this time restore the kingdom to israel. And he said to them, it is not for you to know time and seasons which the father has fixed by his own authority, but you wait until you receive the power which will come upon you when the holy spirit comes upon you. That is the power of which i speak. When the holy spirit comes upon you, then with that power you will be my witnesses, witnessing in jerusalem and in all judea and samaria to the ends of the earth, but not until it comes upon you. When it comes upon you, you’re told the holy spirit is one remembrance. He’ll bring to your remembrance all the things that i have told you. The whole will come back, and then you will actually reproduce with the holy spirit and in yourself my story. That’s what he’s telling you.1227 ¶3

He now disappears, is now revealed to them the true excellence, that the exodus of the old testament was an adumbration, a foreshadowing. Resurrection followed by the birth from above is the true exodus from this world of tears, this world of body. June celebrated the exodus, and they’re still in bondage, and the christians celebrated the resurrection, and they haven’t yet been resurrected. That whole thing is the drama. The spirit comes upon you, which is the spirit of power. Then he will bring to your remembrance all that i have told you, which i have received from my father. So within the individual upon whom this power comes, which is the holy spirit, the whole thing will unfold within him.1227 ¶4

They completely misunderstood, and they thought the restoration of a national theocracy was what was intended with the coming of messiah. They did not realize that the truest coming of jesus was the manifest power of the holy spirit. But when this power comes, it lifts you up from within yourself, and then you actually are the being that the world yesterday celebrated and about his resurrection. You are that was spoken of in scripture, but you will not know it and be a witness to this until the power comes upon you, and that power is the power of the holy spirit, and the whole thing unfolds within you.1227 ¶5

Now you’ve heard of the story. You all know the story. Did you ever dwell upon the character called judas? And today we speak of a man who is a betrayal of a trust. He is a jewish. He simply betrayed the trust, any kind of a trust. A man just died in new york city, in christian, who betrayed the trust of the mafia. He was one of the leaders in the mafia, and he gave to the fbi the true name our king casanos. No one planes his body. There he was. He died in prison because there was a price on his head, a fabulous prize to kill him. And so he was protected while he was in prison because he had revealed the secrets of this thing that wormed its way into society called our king, where they made billions. If you could not put a finger on it, therefore it wasn’t taxable, but he betrayed it, so he was a judas.1227 ¶6

Well, that is not the judas. Oh, but who is this judas? We are told at the last supper, he said, the one to whom i will give for my time has come. Everything was done on order in the gospel of john. He never moved. He resisted all action until the right moment. My time has not yet come. Beginning with the second chapter, he said to the brothers in the seventh chapter, my hour has not yet come. And he goes through the entire book stating that time has not yet come. He is following a divine plan. So here we find predestination in one, and we find free will both joined together in man. He teaches man to exercise free will and shows them how to change the pattern of life, but he is under compulsion to fulfill the father’s will. Everything must be done on time. So that told me later the Damit the moment of betrayal has come empty. So that in the oriental custom, two would sit on a comer of couch. The honored guest was always the one to whom the host gave the sock. He would take the sock, he would prep it to the dish, and then handed to the honoured guests. So the one to whom i give it, he will be gaining. He turns and in gives it to the one to whom i give it lo Channelring or Coup 개 stitch if either you are changing it now to judas, and judas goes out quickly. And he said to him, what you have to do too quickly is perfectly told.1227 ¶7

May i tell you, i know from experience what you have to do too quickly, and judas goes out. Yet they do not understand who it is. Who will be praying, lord, is it i? Lord, is it i? Lord, is it i? Well, it’s obvious: the one to whom he gave it. But who then is judas? He betrays the messianic secret. Now no one knows the thoughts of god but the spirit of god. Is he not then the spirit of god? If he betrays god, only the spirit of god could betray god. For no man knows the thoughts of a man but the spirit of man which dwells in him, and no one knows or comprehends the thoughts of god but the spirit of god. Then is he not the spirit of god? For no one could betray me but the spirit of myself. Only the one that i would call friend and then devour myself secret could betray me. And so he calls him now, my friend. It’s his own spirit.1227 ¶8

Now we are told there are two traditions as to his death in scripture. Matthew tells us the 27th chapter, that he went out and hanged himself. In the word, he committed suicide. Jesus has made to say, no one takes away my life. I laid down myself, and i was a lay down and the power to take it up again. So here we find the suicide, the parallel. But in the book of acts it is said he swelled up, and swelling up he burst in the middle. Then all of his bowels came gushing out. Two entirely different traditions, one given us by luke, for luke wrote the book of acts, and then we have the one in matthew.1227 ¶9

Now a friend of mine in is here tonight. He said, this happened to me a year ago. i didn’t tell it because i didn’t know. It seemed so strange to me. But this weekend i was reading the 13th chapter of the book of john, reading with the last supper, reading all about the song, reading all these things, and i wondered what nonsense this software he gave himself to whom he gave it. Why ask all these questions: is it i? Is it i? And then one christ would ask him who it is. The one, the honored death could not be across the street. The honored death be right next to him, the one whose head was on his bosom, the soft one gave him. And so, what you have to do, you could now. He said, a year ago i had a vision, and in my vision i saw you dead. You were dead. You were dressed in white, radiant white, and your bowels were completely out. That was your death. Not understanding it, i hesitated to mention it because it’s probably at the time that would be judas. And so i saw you dressed in white, radiant white, and you were dead, and your death was caused by the swelling up and the bursting in your middle, and out came all of your bowels out. And here was neville, and he would think he saw the perfect vision.1227 ¶10

I tell you, when it happens, everything in you, all that you behold though it appears without, it is within, in your own wonderful human imagination, of which this world of mortality is but a shadow. So all these characters are within himself, and the nearest to him is the spirit of himself, which is judas. The word judas is the same as judah, the one mentioned in the genealogy. So when it comes to and speaking of the genealogy, and jacob was the father of judah and his brother, he didn’t mention the first three brothers. They could have mentioned the first three. He jumps over the three and goes to the fourth one, judah. Judah means the hand, but it’s the hand of god. The power of god is the creative power of god, the directive power of god that can fulfill his purpose, and his purpose is to give himself to man. The story of jesus is the biography of god. That’s god. Now when that unfolds itself in man, god has succeeded in giving himself to man. That man then tells him. So today here we single out an individual as though this thing happened on earth. It didn’t happen on earth. This is god’s plan. It’s all written in scripture. When it happens in you, you re-script it to find the parallel. The whole thing is taking place in a supernatural world, all within you. He speaks to man through the medium of dream, but he reveals himself in vision. It is god unveiling himself.1227 ¶11

So one who comes into my world, and no one comes unless the father within me calls him, he has a vision. He hesitated for quite a while to tell me because of the tradition concerning judas. For he was the one whose power, as he swelled up, he burst in the middle, and all of his bowels got down. He was the one who betrayed the secret, as i betrayed every time i take this platform. i am telling you the secret of god every time i take this platform. i am played a part of judas every monday and friday night. i played every time i talked to a friend when they called me on the phone. i am betraying the secret. i have come not to abolish the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them.1227 ¶12

So i tell you the law. I reinterpret the law psychologically, and tell you that in assumptions or thoughts, if persisted in, will harden into better. Two thousand years ago you heard that same statement told in this manner: whatever you desire, believe that you have received it, and your will is the identical thing told in a more modern form. Same thing. If you dare to assume this, that, or the other, and persist in your assumption, it will harden fact and project itself on the screen of space. That is the law. It’s psychological.1227 ¶13

Now the prophets, they’re predicted the sufferings of the coming one. I’m told of the glory that would be his. He first, he was chosen in him before the foundation of the world. Those who he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son, and those whom he predestined, he also called, and those whom he called, he also justified, and those who be justified, he also glorified. But you can take these five terms and come to any other conclusion than predestination? That is the spirit in man fulfilling the will of God, leading that man up to God Himself. For the story of the gospel is God’s biography. When that story unfolds itself in the individual, in the first person singular and present tense experience, he is now, it’s his biography. And if it’s God’s biography, and it is his experience, then who is he? He is that power. When that power comes upon him, he is power. And who is the power of God? Jesus Christ: Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God.1227 ¶14

When someone now puts his or her hand to the plow, and turning back, he unfits himself for the kingdom of heaven. But the one who called him will not allow him or allow her to unfit himself or herself for that kingdom and so he appears to her or to him as sheer power it is for a purpose as we are told if one will not believe having been called and having been spoken to as told us in the story of gabriel and gabriel came into the presence of zachariah and told zachariah that the lord had sent him and then told zachariah of the coming of the birth of john and he said how will i know this i am an old man and my wife is advanced in the angel replied i am gabriel i stand in the presence of god that is wherever the mess is and the word gabriel means either the power of god or the man of god you can translate it in either way so now you want a sign but this shall be your sign you shall be silent and unable to speak until that day when this thing is fulfilled when he said , he came out of the temple he could not speak and those who waited on the outside in prayer while he lit the incense on the inside were dumb hungry because they knew something had happened when they saw him he couldn’t speak he was dumb and then when the child was born and then on the eighth day which was the day now to be circumcised they wanted to know what to name the child and they thought certainly zachariah after his father and he made signs for he could not speak to bring him a tablet that he could write and he wrote on the tablet his name is john and as he wrote his name is john and the whole thing was fulfilled his mouth opened his tongue was loose and then he spoke that was sheer power christ is the power of god and the wisdom of god1227 ¶15

but in this world of ours when i am put into the place of playing such a part in his infinite mercy he takes from my conscious reasoning mind that individual act that i am not left with that i will play in the depths of my own being i will play anything that my father who is one with myself commands me to play that they who would now stray from the past will be brought back into it if that little thing was only for one moment that you are done unable to speak i’m here for one moment there was no speech but i tell you this play is the eternal play it didn’t close yesterday when the bowl overflowed and all of a sudden they came out when they reinterpreted the entire story and called it positive thinking positive decisions and all this nonsense this is the eternal story wait until you receive power from on high for the power will come and you will be overcome with the spirit the holy spirit and when the holy spirit comes upon you he will bring to your remembrance all that i have told him and what have i told you my life i have told you exactly what happened to me supernaturally that will then happen to you individually and you will know that i told you the truth that is the eternal story of the gospel1227 ¶16

so when he said among the mature i too impart a wisdom it is not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age for they are doomed to pass away i impart a secret and hidden wisdom of god which god decreed before the ages for our nullification that’s what he imparted then he tells us in that same chapter the second chapter of first corinthians how it’s impossible for any person to know a man’s thoughts except the spirit of that man which dwells in him and therefore no one knows or comprehends the thoughts of god except the spirit of god and so he sends the spirit upon him so the real coming of jesus the return of jesus in the truest sense is simply the manifested power of the holy spirit that is coming he can’t come in any other way he becomes invisible he departs this world and then sings the holy spirit for the holy spirit comes like the wind i tell you just like the wind and when you hear it is the most unearthly sum you have ever heard but it’s weak it’s like a storm it possesses you and then you wait and you wait to find yourself in tune and then you come out of that tomb where you’ve been buried and then everything the entire story now unfolds within you scene after scene without any deviation and that’s the being that you are and when it happens and comes to the very end you know who you are you are god himself you are the power of god for that is jesus christ is the power of god and the wisdom of god and now you know the true exodus from bondage that what you read about in the old testament was only an admiration a foreshadowing but when it happens to you this is the true exodus when you are set free set free because you found the son and if the son sets you free you are free and the sun stands before you and you know exactly who he is and he knows who you are1227 ¶17

so don’t close the book and wait for a year set your hope fully upon the grace that is coming to you as the unveiling in the revelation of christ in you for that’s where he is he’s all buried within you in the meanwhile use the law psychologically external observation means nothing all the outside ceremonies mean nothing absolutely nothing just well that was my commandment that i was saying down with the blue blood all church protocol that’s what it means done with it completely pay no attention to it even with a little simple thing which is a very pleasant thing and you sit down to die and someone calls upon you to say grace say grace don’t be a useful about it say but you know it means nothing but do it if you’re called the one to do it we do not have it at home we sit down and i’m certainly enjoying my meal that my wife prepared and i thank her for preparing it but if one calls what you’re doing do it but all outside ceremony means absolutely nothing that was my command when i was saying down with the blue bloods done with all church protocol1227 ¶18

so the so-called kissing of the feet and you saw this picture the other day and the washing of the feet of these 12 elderly men and kissing of the feet that’s out has nothing to do with real real christianity i tell you what it is some experience take within you and then you will know every one of those disciples what aspect of your own being he represents and that one who was closest to him the one who was his friend the one to whom he gave the honored peace that was duty the hand of god the directive hand that could fulfill his purpose i betrayed the secret as i do every time i talk to you i betray the secret of christ i can’t betray if i don’t know it no one can betray what he doesn’t know and so one must first know it to be great1227 ¶19

well i’m betraying i’m saying exactly how it happens it happens in the way that i have told you it will come suddenly upon you the holy spirit it will come like a storm ring and when it comes you will awake to find yourself in tune and then you will have the innate wisdom for christ is also the wisdom of god not only the power of god to move that stone where it will end up in your life then you will not be able to command that stone it was that was the seal break it by putting it from within and you will come out and you will find surrounding the witnesses to the great event that god succeeded in his purpose which was awaiting you as god for this is the birth of god not born of blood or the will of the flesh or the will of man but of god and you come out and the sign of your birth is presently and here is the sign wrapped as you’re told in swaddling clothes and you pick it up and in the most endearing manner you say how is my sleep and the whole thing vanishes including the three witnesses who witnessed the birth1227 ¶20

then comes the second great event when he stands before 89 so i and this relationship is forever it’s a returning memory for you do not have the feeling that it happens now is simply that your memory has returned just as though you had suffered from total amnesia it’s not something that’s part of you you’ve always known about your son i that’s the feeling that i had so all of a sudden he comes back what comes back well the holy spirit is on me well who is the holy spirit he who brings to your remembrance all that i have killed you and did not david in the spirit call me my lord when he calls you my lord which is the name of my father for all sons called their father and spoke of their father as my lord so david in the spirit called me my lord he does it in spirit not here on earth1227 ¶21

and things comes the grand severance of your body from top to bottom and you’re a saint separating the event called resurrection from the ascension and you can come from it’s not only 40 days you can come to holding up it’s between my within the 30th of july 15 a fory. 14 a.m. and the Ascent took place on the 8th day of April of 1960. And that’s when one ascends, ascends into heaven. And the whole thing as you are told reverberates like thunder. And then comes the seal of approval on the 1260th day. And that is the Ascent of the Holy Spirit in bodily form as a doubt. And here he rests upon you, you bring him and he is mowing you with kisses. You come and you tell him.1227 ¶22

And so the story of Judas, when he does betray, he does it quickly. May I tell you? You are seated on the floor explaining the word of God to those who are seated before you. And he is one of them. And suddenly he jumps. And you know exactly what he is going to do. He is going to tell. We don’t use the word betray. He is going to tell exactly what he heard you say. For you are speaking of the Kingdom of God. And he is going to tell that you are speaking of the Kingdom. And that you are the King. And he is going to tell the authorities concerning what you said. He has to betray the King. And he goes on and he tells it. Then comes the authority in and he unveils your arm. And his name who went out is the arm of God, the hand of God. He unveils it. And you see the relationship between the one who went out and yourself. Now you are completely unveiled. When he nails into your shoulder that peg, that wooden peg, and hammers it in. And then takes off the sleeve and puts the arm and it is bare. And then you know the 53rd chapter of Isaiah. Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? And if everything is placed upon that knee. He has then to bear the burden. For he will see the travail of his efforts. Of his labor. And he will rejoice. He will be satisfied. When he knows that he got through.1227 ¶23

So you can say to anyone. If they see me in any role. It seems a harsh role. Then know I consciously am not aware of it. While I play that part I have to play. For this is a supernatural world of which I speak. It is a supernatural being of which I speak. It is a supernatural part that I am playing. When I play those parts at night. And certain parts I am relieved of the memory of them. For they have to be done. To jack one up. Having put his hand to the plow. And turning back. Unpicks himself for the kingdom of heaven. Calls him to turn back. Doubt. They question. And so when Zechariah said. How will I know this? I am an old man. And my wife is advanced. In years. How can she conceive and bear a son? He said. And in the presence of God. In other words. I am speaking for the one who sent me. And he never left me. Therefore he stands with me. Now sheer power is going to make you dumb. And so he said to her. To him. You will be silent. Unable to speak. Until that which I have foretold has come to pass. Because you did not believe. My words. That he who gave me to speak. And I spoke them. You did not believe my words. You see me in many roles. Many of you see me in different roles. Yet. My conscious reasoning mind. Has always been removed. On my return. From certain. Thoughts that I had to play. For I am under compulsion to play those thoughts.1227 ¶24

After being awakened. And my friend had to see me. In that role. To know who. Judas really is. And I am Judas. Every time I’d betray. The Messianic secret. And I am the one. Who told him. That scene I recall vividly. What you have to do. Do quickly. He certainly did it quickly. There was no time between his departure. And the arrival of the authority. Who came in. And severed my. And hammered into my shoulder. That wooden vein. On which he then placed. The burden. So I tell you. This play. Is an eternal play. It goes on. Forever. And forever. Forever. And each one. Makes his exit. Which is the exodus. From this world. Of tears. Into a blissful. But only in that way. Does he ever. Make the exodus.1227 ¶25

So when they sing the hymns. Of how they were led out. Of bondage in Egypt. Into a world. Of freedom. I tell you. That is the only way. That is the only way. That is the only way. That is the only way. That is the only way. That is the only way. Where they are free. Where they are in freedom. And yet. All are still as enslaved. As they were. Thousands of years ago. Then what are they commemorating? So when the real leader. The new Moses comes. They would not recognize him. A new Moses came. He was called Jesus. Which means Jehovah. God himself came this time. In the form of man. And that’s the new Moses. And his life. that man will one day imitate actually experience and therefore it’s his matter it is his and it’s the only way you will ever make an exit from this world death will not take you out of this world you will die and you’ll be stored to life just as you are now in a world just like this it’s terrestrial and you will still be making your effort as you do it right now no transforming power whatsoever in the thing called death there is no transformation in death find yourself the same thing young yes but that’s not transformation the same identity that of which i speak is a complete transfiguration a complete transformation of form you’re no longer this little garment you are glorified and you wear a glorified body that doesn’t have the needs of this body at all and wherever you go close in that body everything is perfect there’s no place you would go walk through hell it will become heaven and someone clothed in these garments walking through heaven will turn it into hell so i tell you you are in for the most glorious thing in the world and what i have told you i tell you from my own personal experience i am not theorizing i am not speculating1227 ¶26

i knew that someone had to see me in that role and he had this vision a year ago but because of custom and his association with the idea of judas as the one whose bowels first of all he swelled up and swelling up he burst in the middle and all of his bowels came rushing out and lovingly as he does and believingly as he does he didn’t know how to associate that with the one that he sold out and trust to tell the truth but i can tell you they are the same being for he is the spirit of the one the other guest to whom he gave the song that is the honored position not around the table as we have it here in the vinci’s picture there was no table not in the oriental world you sat on a diamond not more than two at any one moment and diamonds were around if you ever dipped it you could take a piece of meat and dip it and the one to whom he gave the meat oh be so brave that was the soft the one whom he gave it that was the other guest as we today sitting around the table he said the honored guest to our life and here we that’s the honor of Satan the one whose head was on his breast and he just simply who is it who is nearest to you but your spirit so that no one knows or comprehends the thoughts of God but the spirit of God if God was ever betrayed it could only be betrayed by the spirit of God it had to be revealed it could not be discovered by any philosophical reason no man in this world as you’re told in scripture man could not find God all the wisdom of man could not find God God had to reveal himself and the revealing is the betrayal unveiling himself is a story as it’s written and told us1227 ¶27

you set your hope fully upon that moment in time when it comes to you the revelation of Jesus Christ while grace is simply an unearned unmerited blessing and that gift so you’re raised from the level of being a son to the level of being the father now let us go into the silence to weigh my life1227 ¶28

so if no man ever took his life on how can we blame anyone or any race of people for his death it’s stated so clearly in the tenth chapter of the gospel of John no man in fact the three earliest manuscripts uses the saints no man has taken away as though he’s not speaking on this level at all no man has taken and scholars can quite understand how these three earliest and oldest manuscripts could have it written in that manner that’s exactly what it should be said because the drama isn’t taking place here at all but if he took his own life then he’s a suicide isn’t he or then you’re told in Matthew to make it perfectly clear that he went out and hanged himself meaning Judas for the word Judas is taken from the root of the word is Yod the first letter in the name of God Yod He Vav He Yod He Vav He Yod He Vav He Vav He Vav He Vav He Vav Yod Yod Yod Yod Yod Yod Yod Yod Yod Yod Yod Yod Yod Yod Yod1227 ¶29
