Take Off The Fig Leaf




 

                           TAKE OFF THE FIG LEAF.                12/2009

 

MUCH of the bible is symbolic, in our language. It takes Spirit that we are, to decipher the symbolic words.

 

As many of you know, when the bible talks of "trees", it is talking about mankind. There are many kinds of trees, in this realm of illusion that we have been residing in. But, in acutality, there is only ONE Tree. That tree is the Tree of Life. We have read about the "withered tree", "the tree that produced no fruit", etc. These trees are trees of illusion. They are describing the state of being that most are in, right now.

 

With trees, comes leaves. In the Book of Genesis, we are told that the Lord God made coats of skins and clothed man. Here, man became human. We see in another verse where the man and the woman sewed fig leaves together and made aprons to hide their nakedness. Fig trees are the vegatation of the tree of the EARTH or GROUND. This is what mankind was COVERED with, things of the earthen realm. Let me give you an example:

 

IF you are a preacher and you go to a Baptist Church and ask to speak there, you are asked, first thing, ARE YOU A BAPTIST?

IF you are a preacher and you go to a Catholic Church and ask to speak there, you are asked, first thing, ARE YOU A CATHOLIC?

And all the rest of the ORGANIZED INSTITUTIONS OF RELIGION. This is called a COVERING. Evangelists are COVERED by their home church. Are you getting the picture? RELIGION IS A COVERING. And it is MANMADE, NOT GODMADE.

 

The "fig leaf" is the illusion. But, as a tree was created to shed its leaves and reproduce, so are we. Some have removed their leaves. Some are ONLY seeing and reproducing leaves that are spoken of in the Book of Revelation. "The leaves will be a healing to the nations". "NATIONS", speak of people. Country speaks of a geographical location. But the leaves that are being produced are healing the minds of some. All will not open themselves up to this healing, so they remain in and under their COVERING.

 

What does "removing the covering" mean? Here are some examples:

 

1. Where you are told, "as he is in this world, so are you". BELIVE IT, KNOW IT.

2. Where you are told, "of his fullness have all receivED", BELIEVE IT, KNOW IT.

3. Where you are told, "in his image, you are created", BELIEVE IT, KNOW IT.

4. Where you are told, "ye are gods", BELIEVE IT, KNOW IT. (in this verse, "gods" means ELOHIM, or PLURAL GOD.)

5. Where you are told, " it is not robbery to be equal to God", BELIEVE IT, KNOW IT.

6. Where you are told, "you can do all things through Christ", BELIEVE IT, KNOW IT.

7. Where you are told, "it is GOD who works in you both to will and to do His good pleasrue", BELIEVE IT, KNOW IT.

 

I love the way it is explained in the Book of The Gospel of Thomas:

Didymus Judas Thomas wrote down 114 Saying of Jesus (The Gospel of Thomas) and those were found in the Nag Hammadi in 1945. In the 2nd verse we read, "Jesus said: The seeker should not stop until he finds, when he does find, he will be disturbed. After having been disturbed, he will be astonished. Then he will reign over everything."

 

Haven't you ever searched so hard for something that you have never seen before, but you know that it exists? Then you find that thing, you don't give up on finding it, and that search finally pays off? It isn't at all like you thought it would be. First someone told you that it would be blue. Then someome else told you it would be red. Then another told you that it would be black. You didn't know what color it would be, for sure, but you did know that it is in existance, and you kept on searching for it. Then you find it!! As it turns out, it has no color, and you are disturbed. After studying it, looking it over really good, you pass being disturbed and are astonished at what you found. Then it causes you to know all about it and you then reign over all that it is about. Well it's the same with secrets that have been locked deep within us for all the ages. At first we are disturbed at any new (to us) revelation. Then as we ponder it, we lose the disturbance and are astonished. We think, why didn't I see this before!!! All the signs were there. And as we allow this secret or revelation to begin working in us, we start reigning!! What do we reign over?

 

Think back when we thought that there was a devil. How frightened we were as we ran to our pastor. He would pray over us and we were fine, FOR A WHILE. Then we started EXPECTING that devil to keep on bothering us, because we were Christians. Sure enough, here he would come, dragging us down; making us sick, taking others in death. Oh, how we dreaded him. We BELIEVED in him more than we did the scriptures. I know, you are saying, "I believe what the bible says". And if that is true, then you know that we are told, "as a man thinketh, so is he". What we think on, meditate on, worry about, is what manifests in our lives. Then we learn that the devil was DESTROYED!! Along with him, went sickness, worry, and yes, DEATH. Did you know that it was the devil, not God, that had the power of death? Read it for yourself in your bible. (Heb.2:14-15) So if all these things still operate in your lives, it is because you believe it, and still believe in the devil.

 

The devil is the carnal mind. But, we are told that NOW we HAVE the mind of Christ. Doesn't it say that? Then we either believe what the old mind says to us, OR we believe what the Christ Mind tells us. Remember, we are told that flesh and blood CANNOT enter heaven. Heaven, remember is a state of mind, not a geographical place. We CHOOSE which mind we will listen to. The Christ mind is not about riches and goods and all that stuff. The Christ Mind is God's Life flowing through us. Speaking of flesh and blood, it time to wake up about something else.

 

God/Elohim was and is Spirit. Jesus was a flesh and blood man. And we do not KNOW a fraction of all that could be told about him, because the book wouldn't hold it all. BUT, Flesh and blood CANNOT enter that state of being that we call heaven. God COULD NOT DIE, so He took on the DISGUISE of a flesh and blood man. Just like us. That flesh and blood man, Jesus, did not have more than we were given or that we have. Not one morsel more. I know, we have been taught differently, but you say you believe the bible, doesn't it tell us that God is NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS? Well that includes the man, Jesus. Jesus did not have anymore in himself, than we have within us. One thing we must REALIZE, is that the bible was written by MAN. It was dictated as to what COULD and what COULD NOT be put in it. Study it out for yourselves, you will see that this is true. IF you want Truth, search for it. I am not saying that EVERYTHING in the bible is of man. It says that "all scripture inspired by God is good for......". It does NOT say "all scripture IS inspired by God'. The word "IS" was added. So that tells me that everything in the bible was not ispired by God, but that some was inspired by MAN.

 

When God put on the disguise of mankind, He was called Jesus, "God with us". The disguise could and did die, after leaving us a pattern to follow. The disguise was God in reality, and returned to that same reality. Jesus was part of the illusion. I know that you do not like to hear that, but it is the Truth. But, was not Jesus flesh and blood? God covered Himself with a leaf and that leaf was removed when when He had laid a pattern for us. We are not sons of Jesus. We are not created in the image of Jesus. It is not Jesus who lives within us. It is not Jesus that we are to be equal with. It is not the fullness of Jesus that all have received. It is not Jesus who we are as he is IN THIS WORLD. IT IS GOD!! IT IS GOD!!! We have been worshipping TWO GODS, Jesus and God the Father. And that is not correct. We are told that THERE IS ONE GOD!! THERE IS ONE SPIRIT!! And THERE IS ONE BODY!! It is NOT us, God and Jesus. It is GOD.

 

I am going to write out ONE scripture for you to see the Truth of this, IF YOU WILL LET YOUR MIND OPEN UP:

1 Timothy 3:16, "And WITHOUT CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH , GOD was justified in the Spirit, GOD was seen of angels, GOD preached unto the Gentiles, GOD was believed on in the world, GOD was received up into glory."

 

Allow this to sink in. YES, He was seen as the flesh man, Jesus. NOW, He is seen as YOU AND ME!! We are now the disguise that GOD stepped into. But, He is stepping out of the disguise and is being seen as Who WE truely are. We. LIKE GOD or as GOD, laid aside our power and glory when we agreed to come to this realm.

 

You say, "well this body of mine is flesh and blood". That too, is an illusion. And the illlusion will fade and the body will change to a incorruptable temple. You see, God and the Lord God are two different works, and yet one of the same. (if you have not received my REVISED Study of Genesis, email me for it. It is not on the Sigler website).

 

We have gone through the disturbing part, some won't even consider it, but now we are in the astonished part. As we journey through this astonishing Truth part, we begin to reign, as Who we are, God.

 

I am calling forth awakening in this New Year. I know many will see it, ponder on it and come to KNOW it. We are ONE.

 

Blessings, Light and Love, Linda

 

It is understandable for a child to be afraid of the dark; but, why would an adult be afraid of the LIGHT?
