Greeting. ​​​Jeremiah 6:28  They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters. He stamped his alligator shoes on the stage, with bible in hand he proclaimed in a loud voice, ''this is good ground, plant your seed here’’. In other words  give me your money and God we double it back to you.  In the early 1980’s the corrupt wind of doctrine called Seed Faith, was being preached.  Ephesians 4:14  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.  And like children millions were carried away by this cunning doctrine or wind; that if you plant your money or seed and it will grow. So is your seed money? No! It’s God revealed word. Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Pretty simple verse huh? No! The carnally simple minded, can read this verse a thousand times and not spiritually see it because we are void of understanding. Psalms 119:130   The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. Deuteronomy 32:28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. Years ago, this seed thing seen strange to me, but to my wife at that time,thought it was a clever idea to give more of my money to the man wearing the alligator shoes. Thus, in return God would give us more money and I would be able to afford Avventura Shoes. Churches were becoming spiritual slot machine by the sleight of men.Ephesians 4:14  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive . Remember nothing in the  Bible is physical; God uses the physical to teach us the spiritual. Now who are those waiting to do the deceiving? The Preachers, Church members or both.  2 Samuel 19:25  And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth? In this story king David asked his servant, Mephibosheth why he did not flee with him when the King’s son Absalom, rebelled against his father David. Why do we rebelled against God and his word? 2 Samuel 19:26  And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me.When we fail to follow our God we are than deceived and fail to walk spiritually in the word because we are spiritually lame. Our way of seeing the Bible must be equal to as God sees His word or we are seeing His word in our own foolish wisdom. Proverbs 26:7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. ​Fools of all economical and every educational level love to quote parables or scriptures.  Who deceived the lame Mephibosheth? His servant and who deceives us? Our servants: because our servants here symbolize our thoughts. Romans 6:16  Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Our carnal thoughts are not God’s thoughts nor His ways. Isaiah 55:8  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. Our thoughts are members of a house or temple our minds. When we take our carnal thoughts and put them on God’s word they can only bring spiritual death. Romans 6:19  I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. My thoughts are my servants, who am I going to yield them to? If I cannot spiritually interpret a verse or even a word. It's wise not to take thought without waiting on the  interpreter the, HOLY GHOST. 2 Corinthians 10:5  Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. God’s word which is his seed can never produce precious seed if I cast my carnal thoughts on it and corrupt it. Malachi 2:3  Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces. It’s possible for man with all his earthly wisdom taught at any Bible Theological Seminary not to yield anything spiritual from the Bible. Sure, you will receive honor from men but not from God and die in your sin. John 3:37  John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given from heaven. And sometime that’s all the Theological men or women want and get earthly devilish wisdom. John 5: 43  How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh for God only? Some years before God began to make his hidden word known unto me; a Pastor of a local Church made it clear. That he had the power to make me an Ordain Minister if I would pledge money to help him get a bigger Church.  Leviticus 26:20   And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. A corrupt seed of  God's word cannot produce fruit, only yield thorn and briers. God's reveal word is also the promise land or pleasant land which the carnal mind despised.Psalm 106: 24  Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word. Now those carnal servants or thoughts have power to deceive.  2 Samuel 19:26  And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame. I was lame once, spiritually just as Meshibosheth was lame. Proverbs 26:7  The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. I used to have this strange dream all the time were one leg was shorter than the other. Ezekiel 18:29  Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? I no longer have that dream, God in His mercy was telling even back than my ways, my thoughts were unequal to his. Is that why I refused that Pastor invitation to let him ordain me, not knowing even back why I refused his offer. This wicked man wanted to exalt vile carnally minded Michael for money. Psalms 12: 8The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.  But God back then would not allow me to become a professional corrupter of His word.  I was not ready to be a shepherd over His holy words.  Jeremiah 6:28  They are all corrupters.  But now I'm no longer a corrupter but a shepherd over a few sheep or His word. Psalm 78:70  He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds. The corrupters that teach the God's word is money, are slanders of his word or GOD'S SHEEP.  Now there’s nothing wrong with ALLIGATOR SHOES; If the feet that wear them are clean. Samuel 119:101   I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. When a man or women speaks God’s Holy word without waiting on the God’s spirit, they have proclaimed they are Gods. Psalm 82:6  I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. Psalm 82:7  But ye shall die like men.   Michael Rudolph Hodges  8/18/2016/ amended 5/12/2021/ amended 5/20/2022
