Greetings. A certain part of the American culture seems to be fascinated with movies about human beings with superpowers. 1Kings 18:46And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Abab [king Ahab rode in a chariot]to the entrance of Jerreel. Here we have a man of God outrunning a chariot, D.C. Comic book Magazine had a character who is also petty fast on his feet: THE FLASH! In the next verse we have a man calling down fire from heaven, think how handy that would come in? 2 King 1:12 And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. We will come back to the Spiritual meaning of these verses and others a little later. Most of these Superhero movies seem to be targeted at a younger audience that might already feel perhaps inadequate. In one of these movies: the superhero had powers that made her invisible to those around them. Perhaps the writer got the idea from the next verses? 1Timothy1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. Luke 4 :29 And rose up, and thrust Him out of the city, and led Him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast Him down headlong. 30 But He passing throught the midst of them went His way. Wow, I remember reading these verse years ago thinking, did Jesus turn invisible, how He pass through midst of them and they could see Him? Spiritually God's word are hidden or invisible to the carnal mind of men. When God starts to show you His invisible immortal words, you are witnessing the words from Heaven: you will never feel inadequate again. We whom the few that God has put His Spirit into those that obey him, can began to witnesses these things. Acts 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.Matthew 13:17For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Now I do not have to be able to leap over tall building or swing from a web to see God’s glory, all I must do is love him. 2 Timothy 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Love his appearing? 1Timothy 6:14That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. God's commandment must not be spotted by our flesh as we Spiritually [Jude 1:12] eat of them. This a Spiritual appearing is His written word and is nothing physical. When we put our fleshly thoughts on any of the commandments or scriptures, we did not wait on the Lord to reveal what’s hidden: His word has been spotted by the flesh. The appearing is the reveal word of God. Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. We are commanded to wait, but none of the mockers I have known in twenty-five years; had no idea of what they were waiting on and neither did I. We are to wait on the God to make what is hidden known. Proverbs 20:22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee. The Lord says in the above verse: states that you will go unpunished for putting evil: our thoughts on His word, because we did it in[1 Timothy 1:13] ignorance. Jeremiah 16:18And first I will recompense[ Reward] their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.When we defile God’s words we just defile God’s land.Psalm 106:24Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word. THE PROMISE LAND IS GOD'S REVEALED WORD, AND WE ALL DESPISED IT! Personally, I would like to be able to defile and despised the physical grass on my property, so I would not have to cut it every two weeks. I used the above in jest, to show the Bible is a book of judgment of men’s thoughts and nothing physical. Even worse men mock God and say there is no hidden meaning to the scripture; these are the mockers. Jude 17But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;18 how that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. When you have God’s Spirit you are given the power to call down Spiritual fire on the minds of men. Very few people want to talk to people the have God's Spirit, such people will always try to steer the conversation to something about their gods. Their gods being sports stars, movie stars, comic book hero's and such like. A relative rebukes me saying I am always talking about the things of God when he calls me on the phone, I reminded him that he called me: very few people call me. Jeremiah 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire? Now this power is given to a few of us is for your edification, to those that can stand the heat. 2 Corinthians 13:10Therefore, I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction. I have learned by being obedient to God Spirit to hate any fleshly spot or thoughts against God’s word. We are save by fire. Jeremiah 23:29Is not my word like as a fire? 2 King 1:12 And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. People want to see a man of God with perfect teeth, tailored suit, elegant voice and a red cape completing the attire. But if he speaking the words of wisdom of man and not fire from heaven it’s not of God’s Spirit.Jude 1:19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. Were it an individual or thousands they all have one thing in common; they come in their own name or thoughts about the Bible. John 5:43I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.1 Kings 18:46 And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Abab to the entrance of Jerreel. Elijah, the man of God who girded up his loins and out-ran a chariot. What does it mean to girded up one Ioins? By God’s Spirit let’s find out, because I feel his grace is sufficient. Matthew 3:4And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. Ioins: the region of the sexual organs, especially when regarded as the source of erotic or procreative power. The above is man’s wisdom as to the meaning of Ioins. Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness. My loins has to do with my thinking which must be girted with God’s truth if I’m going to stand against the persecution of the carnal mind. 1 Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. When we are waiting on the revelation of Jesus Christ, which is the revealing of God’s word’s: we are to be sober minded. His grace is when he shows you the mystery of His word, you are no longer imagining the meaning of a verse or drunk off your own wisdom. Deuteronomy 29:19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst. What’s coming out of the carnal men mouths or gates is the song of a men with no spiritual understanding. Psalm 69:12They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards. The spiritual drunkard refuses to be sober minded, because he will not grid himself with the truth. Psalm 18:39For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. When you are not girded with God’s truth you are Spiritually naked and your spiritually buttock is showing.2 Samuel 10:4 Wherefore Hanum took David servants , and shaved off the half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away. Do you have any of God’s wisdom which is his meat? John 21:5Then Jesus saith unto them,Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.John 21:7Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. Why did Peter cast himself into the sea? I will speak on the subject when I have the prefect revelation of the above verse. God’s Spirit will subdue those carnal thoughts that arise in our own heart or mind. Luke 24:38 And he said unto them, why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? But first you’re got to realize you are in a battle. King David saw the battle was against his own thinking about: his many thoughts against the character of God. Psalm 55:18He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.As a kid my twenty-five cents was spent on reading which super hero would defeat his arch enemy. So, if I received two dollars for a allowance, I could go on a comic buying frenzy. Much later these groups of super heroes would run out of bad guys to beat up on and fight against one another. The Spirit versus the flesh. Romans 8:5For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. A conflict fought in the mind: for your soul. Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Now the word: soul, is mentioned almost 500 times in the Bible. I wrote a letter concerning the soul in another book; but I will always come back to the subject because I know so little of God’s word. God reveals more to me about His word daily, that way the flesh is being destroyed daily. Psalm 68:19Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. What are his benefits? The salvation of the soul which are His words: the soul is not a physical thing but an understanding. The way I study the Bible is studying scriptures with the same word in them or by comparing them. 1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. Stop judging God’s word with a carnal mind. John 7:24Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. The above verse is the correct way and the only way to receive the wisdom from above. Matthew 7:2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged. If you study the Bible by comparing it with your earthly wisdom you are not wise and God judges you a fool. Others think they can study the Bible by comparing the Bible with the physical world events, you cannot! 2 Corinthians 10:12For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. Do not be in the carnally minded number mentioned in the above verse, who on any given Sunday commend each other. They measure their wisdom based on other men wisdom and measure up to nothing. Some of these super heroes use a physical shield to hide behind when the villains try to shoot them in the heart or head: if I was a villain I would aim for their feet. Ephesians 6:16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Now most of these comic book writers probably have read the Bible, but with no spiritual revelation. To their ungodly credit they found time to read it. Most Church goer just cannot find time to do even that. But will expose themselves to trauma-based news stories and mind-numbing television programs for hours. God’s Spiritual shield must guard my heart or mind. Psalm 119:11Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. God’s words must be stronger than my carnal thoughts which would lead an spiritual insurrection against God’s thoughts or words. Psalm 64:2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity.Romans 14:22Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. When you believe there’s no hidden greater wisdom about God’s word than your own; you have no faith. Your own thoughts have condemned you, because you allowed it. It’s said that some of these super hero’s shields have a special armor plating. What kind of plating does your spiritual shield have? Isaiah 21:5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield. Your wicked heart will condemn you to spiritual death unless your shield is anointed with God’s truth. 2 Samuel 1:21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offering. fot there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil. 1 John 3:21Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. None of the fiery darts of the carnal mind can get to my heart and never lead an insurrection against my Lord, and the God becomes my shield. Man does not know what is in his heart and thinks he is a good person, because of some physical act he does, we are not a good people! Jeremiah 17:9The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? God knows own heart and He is not impressed with none of us. Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. I’m never shocked at the physical level of brutality men will afflict on other men; only grieved at the Spiritual violence men do to God’s word on any given Sunday. Jeremiah 5:23But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. Revolted and gone away after their own wicked heart. God proves us by showing what we are really all about: our own glory. Psalm 26:2Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. Once God starts to show us ourselves; we can be changed into His true image. Psalm 5:12For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. King David’s son: Absalom, led an insurrection against his father; because he thought he was wiser than his father on earth. 2 Samuel 15:2And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man had a controversy came to the King for judgment. Absalom thought he could judge God's people ,while think we can judge God's words better than Him. Isaiah 14:14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Man’s thinks he’s wiser than then the most high in heaven and leads a spiritual insurrection against God’s word the Bible. 2 Samuel 18:14Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak. Midst of the oak? Now that really got my attention; I will spiritually fast on that for now. Psalm 119:114Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. I hope in the revealed words of God and as a specter my life is hid from thoughts of man. 1 Corinthians 2:15But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. With God's Spirit we are given the power separate our carnal thoughts from His immortal thoughts. Your judgment has to be the same witness as Jesus had from above. Some of these comic book heroes have flaming eyes of fire. Hebrews 1:7And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. As ministers of God’s word, we no longer interpret the Bible in darkness and call it light. Flames illuminate the scriptures; otherwise they are but dark saying to the carnal mind. Proverbs 1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. Hebrews 10:32But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions. When our Spiritual eyes are illuminated: It’s the Lord’s day. Joel 2:2A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness. The above verse represents all the carnal man can see spiritually; but he imagined he is walking in the light until the: Lord’s Day, shows him different. Job 17:12 They change the night into day.Matthew 6:23But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! This must be our prayer: Psalm 119:18 Open thou mine eyes,that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. When we behold the wondrous reveal word of the Bible, we are taking on his nature. Revelation 19:12His eyes were as a flame of fire. After we suffered the great fight against our own carnal understanding; then God’s starts to illuminate His hidden words and takes fiery judgment against our own former carnal thoughts. Star Wars, war in the heavens: the mind. Luke 10:18 And he said unto them,I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. This Satan, in the above verse, only represents your thoughts you have exalted in your mind. Your thoughts never reached up to heaven; you just thought they did. Isaiah 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Now I would never trust a spider web to hold me up neither would I hope in any spiritual understanding the carnal mind can give. Job 8:14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web. Many young people feel the physical world is growing worse every day. Really? Perhaps it’s seem that way thanks to the cell phone given to new born infants at birth. You no longer must wait to hear tragic news, it serviced up instantly by your cell phone, fees included. People find the Bible boring because God has never shown them anything Spiritual. 1 Corinthian 2:9But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. I marvel when I hear young people say they’re bored. That never was the case growing up as a kid; there was always something to do or explore. But if you got real bored your parents found something for you to do. Once God’s start revealing what’s hidden in his word; you’re taking on immortality. God can speak to your Spirit at any time while doing the most mundane thing. 2 Timothy 1:10But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. More on the Spiritual meaning of the above verse at a another time. Now mortal man can’t comprehend your new secret identity: it’s hidden. Colossians 3:3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. In a lot of these movies the hero to be is a 90 pound weakly who can’t get the girl. Now if man could just feel inadequate in Spiritual things he could be taught by the Holy Ghost. The power of God would rest upon him. 2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, my grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Saint Paul was a very educated man but put no confidence in his former earthly wisdom in spiritual matters, only then could God’s power rest on him. 1 Corinthians 2:4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. We can receive the enticing wisdom of men in a million different Churches on any given Sunday and think it God's wisdom. Problem being we have to be taught by God's Spirit to discern the different. Ezekiel 44:23 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and clean. We cannot discern our own unclean thoughts unless God's expose us for devils we all are. Galatians 1:14 And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. We will speak on the traditions of the fathers, when the Holy Spirit reveals more. Point is: Saint Paul was well educated. We must all be taught by the Spirit of truth or we’ll believe a lie: our own wisdom and be damned. 2 Thessalonians 2:11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. A carnally minded person after a while exalts himself and cloak flowing in the wind and huge Bible under his arm he's ready with all the confidence of his earthly wisdom. 2 Thessalonians 2:3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. He sits in a spiritual temple which is his mind and exalts his wisdom above God, thus making himself God. God created us and gave us a temple or body to dwell in. Man is deceived by a man: himself. This Son of perdition, is any man or woman that refuse correction of the mind and is drawn back into his own carnally minded thinking. This next verse proves this: Hebrews 10:39But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. When you draw back from the truth you cannot be saved and when you physically died you return to the dust. Michael Rudolph Hodges 1/16/2018/ amended 2/8/2021/amended 10/27/2021 7/23/2022
