WHAT EXCITES GOD

Deutsch
-----------------------------------------------------------
This unusual heading may sound strange to you, but perhaps when you dig deeper it will cease to sound peculiar. God gets excited. This excitement is spiritual, and it is called FULLNESS OF JOY. Jesus was thus exited when He said: [John 15:11] “These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.” 

It was not a natural excitement of just the physical senses, but highly spiritual. Biology rules life on earth, but is there life without enclosures (Hebrew, Kleepoth, shells)? This life is God the Spirit, which He passed through only one people – the Jew. No other nation upon the face of the earth knows anything about it, just as no one knows what NESHAMAH is. I have been shielding this great secret most of my life and God delights in these veils within veils and curtains within curtains just as REHAM (Hebrew for womb) is; for its root word is RAHAM (Hebr., tender mercies), which has no end. Yes, these tender mercies are endless for they are indeed eternal.

[John 4:20-24] “Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Let’s dissect these words piece by piece and extract only the spiritual vitamins and minerals that are essential to our spiritual wellbeing. 

1.     The woman talks about places of worship. Samaritans worshipped God on Mt. Gerizim and Jews on Mt. Moriah, which is Jerusalem. EXTERNAL PLACES.

2.     Jesus replies to her by saying that places have never excited God nor ever will for these God allowed in His permissive will and not the perfect will for us. These are only imperfect religious centers of man’s devotion to God, which too often only obscure the living, vibrant and true. NO EXTERNAL PLACES CAN TRULY WORSHIP THE FATHER. (Christians created their own theology according to which they worship Jesus, but Jews worship only the Father.)

3.     Samaritans worshiped something they (still) do not know, but (here is the core of it all); Jews worship that which they DO KNOW for salvation comes from the Jews, and Jesus was a Jew. When you single out Jesus out of the greater body of His people you make your own theology in which you can easily get lost, and many are. The salvation package is Jewish.

4.     The Father does not seek (get excited about or rejoices in) religion (external places; often in competition with other religious places), but in spirit, or spiritually and according to the heaven-sent truth and never according to a self-made theology, interpretations of one religious camp or another.

5.     God is Spirit. [Numbers 4:15-16] “So watch yourselves carefully, since you did not see any form on the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire, so that you do not act corruptly and make a graven image for yourselves in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female.” The moment we employ images, processions and elaborate forms of worship we drift away from the true worship of God. External show is unnecessary, but if one needs it or wants it God will permit it as long as that show points to the inner worship of God.

The inner worship, surrender and adoration with thanksgiving truly arouse God the Spirit. This is the true inner fire sparked by God’s Holy Spirit.    

Two words are very important here: SEEKS and MUST. The Father seeks such worshipers. He seeks you my dear friend when you switch from the permitted by Him external foolishness into the inner spiritual ecstasy.  If you want to blend with your Father then there is no other way but you MUST worship Him in your inner spirit of life, which vivifies your entire being.

[Acts 17:28] “In Him we live, move, and exist.” 

How long? – Forever.

Originally, Israel and the Jew in particular, deals with NESHAMAH a word that remains untranslatable to this day.

[Isaiah 57:15] “For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would grow faint before Me, and the NESHAMAH (breath) of those whom I have made.”

When Moses received the Torah on SHAVUOT (Pentecost) in form of two stone tablets with them also came the extra soul (NESHAMAH). The sixth commandment - to keep the Sabbath day holy, different and separate from all other days is actually the seventh (reading from the last first like Jacob’s ladder).

Those who have NESHAMAH also receive the Holy Spirit, which came to us on the 50^th day after the Passover, crucifixion and resurrection of Christ.  The attendants were all Jews, from all over the world, and not Samaritans, Greeks, Germans or Slavs. These men—now full of the Holy Spirit—returned to their respective countries of residence. These were the same men that later had welcomed the apostles into their homes the people of peace.

[Matthew 10:5-8] These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: “Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.

I do the same today.  But the tricky thing is that I found a lot of pretenders wearing only a religious garb of a peacemaker. Those who fell in love with religion and its outward often misleading works of indoctrination, are the same ones Jesus addressed: [Matthew 23:27-8] “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

   

[Luke 10:3-9] “(…) Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’ If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.”

How important it is to find a man of peace first for such makes room for the divine.

“Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house. Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you; and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’”

I did find people of peace (the peacemakers) and I stayed in their houses, I preached, and taught, healed the sick and even raised the dead. But I also found these:

[Luke 10:10-12] “But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, ‘Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’ I say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.”

To some places I will not return and judgment falls on many. Those that started to work with me, appeared to love me then went away and even opposed me; are sick today, went bankrupt and died from strange diseases. A gentile is afraid of such a vessel of God deeming him as being of the devil. They have what they believe in. They have whatever they say. They have touched God’s anointed and die from their own ignorance, for superstition stole from them the true knowledge of God; their place of divine inspiration is lacking—the NESHAMAH. If they want someone sent by the devil then they have the devil and so they rejoice in their doomed-to-fall self-righteousness.

There is not just one day of judgment, but many and they start on Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New year) and they continue until Passover.

What really excites God is the walking with Him rather than the taking. [Genesis 5:24] “Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” It is the walking WITH GOD THE SPIRIT upon this physical earth that really excites the heavens. Once you are taken your walking has also stopped. To put it in another way: it is not so much what one fax machine transmits and what the other machine receives, but the transmission itself. The filled with information space is what God is after. All that passes passes with the excitement of life, which makes the Creator extremely happy. Just for that alone God will prolong your days… indefinitely. 

Apostle Peter could only poetically express this state by saying, 

[1Peter 1:12] “(…) Now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look.” (Greek: which things the angels EPIQUMOUSIN, DESIRE, ARE-ON-FEELING or YEARNING to look into.) 

Angels do not yearn and have no desires because they are created spiritual beings having no free will. In order to have free-will one must be physically/biologically born and belong to either masculine or feminine gender.  

EPIQUMOUSIN is a desire, exhilaration or delight, which God has and which is so powerful that only His sons on earth can experience and not angels. This holy elation comes to us for the Sabbath day also; therefore it is Jewish or Judean to be more precise. 

[Isaiah 5:7] “For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel and the men of Judah His delightful plant.”

Jesus said, “Go and seek the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel,” which have been lost for almost 3000 years now. Judah survived to this very day from which the word Jew is derived. The Greek empire impaired the monotheistic Jewish thought and severely compromised. It is our duty to revive the original spark of NESHAMAH a conduit between God and man. This transmission is awesome and it carries super delightful things, which are mine; and they are now passing on to you although in part. It all depends on how well you activate your NESHAMAH. It is you first who make it elated for your Heavenly Father.

[Malachi 4:7] “Return to Me (first), and I will return to you, (second)” says the LORD of hosts. “But you say, ‘How shall we return?’”

When you read the Ten Commandments from the last to the first you will stumble upon the Sabbath day as the seventh commandment. Isaiah knew of this delight well and so he said:

[Isaiah 58: 13-14] “If because of the Sabbath, you turn your foot from doing your own pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy day of the LORD honorable, and honor it, desisting from your own ways, from seeking your own pleasure and speaking your own word, then you will take delight in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

This riding upon high places are not physical at all, God causes them via the neshamah. But first one must decide to activate the delight in the Lord.

Encyclopedia Judaica

NESHAMAH YETERAH (Heb. נְשָׁמָה יְתֵרָה, "additional soul - Neshamah"), a popular belief that every Jew is given an additional soul from the entrance of each Sabbath until its termination. This belief originated with the story in the Talmud (Beẓah 16a): "Resh Lakish said, 'On the eve of the Sabbath, God gives man an additional (or enlarged) soul, and at the close of the Sabbath He withdraws it from him, for it says; "He ceased from work and rested," i.e., va-yinnafash (Ex. 31:17): once it (the Sabbath) ceased, the additional soul is lost.'"

I disagree with Talmud’s Resh Lakish. The Neshamah is never withdrawn, but goes to rest as it were, for by then it ceases transmitting, inspiring and communicating because by then a mundane living takes preeminence. One does not mix common things with holy/precious things. 

[Jeremiah 15:19] “(…) If you extract the precious from the worthless, you will become as My Mouth (spokesman).” 

The external things will eventually stop influencing us when we finally grasp the fact that the Father seeks worshipers who would worship Him spiritually and truthfully also; constantly; and not only on Sabbath. The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Truth. We live because of the vivifying Spirit of Life. When our spirit and neshamah work together the holy elation is constant. You can fall into a deep sleep and yet this delightful elation goes on within. You experience it at night and upon waking up in the morning. (At least this is the case with me).  

God does not delight in your death or even being taken like Enoch or Elijah, but above all the transmission and the spreading of God’s Kingdom. Philip traveled ‘super fast’ because the task was great but a Philip-like people were too few, that is why God lavished on his family the spirit of prophecy, which passes through the neshamah.

[Acts 21:8-9] (…) Entering the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him. Now this man had four virgin daughters who were prophetesses.

[Psalms 37:4]  Delight yourself in the LORD; and He will give you the desires of your heart.

No one else can speak of these delights to you but a Jew. God loves to uncover the hidden and then He hides it again, back and forth, but each time the vision becomes newer and clearer. This back and forth delights Him. To hide a Jew among goys was also His plan. Discovering the Neshamah in you is a discovery worthy of your fullest attention for you might be a lost sheep of the House of Israel but now found.

Finally. Self-nullification is of utmost importance. Your biological flesh clings to the same and seeks a self-definition. All matter perishes, but that happens because only the biological being attaches itself to. But if the spiritual contents take the lead in everything then biology or natural must conform to the Spirit. This willful detachment and translation of emotions into sublime thoughts divine transforms you into another being. Neshamah begins to tick like a clock and then transmutation begins to augment your perceptions. You actually begin to change.

Many of you are undergoing this transmutation already since we have met. It took a while, but the joy you have is undeniable and by this you know that the Father is in me and I in you for gradually the self ceases to play any role. This high elation will continue, for I am His disciple, you are mine, and we are led of the Spirit of God of whom we shall be born and become like wind. By then no one can place a finger on you, or drag you to some outdated religious cage of fools and idiots, and thus define you. You have the inner church going 24/7.

This was a free wisdom for today.
