GUILT FREE LIVING

Just as principalities and powers on earth are also in, or next to heaven; so does the righteousness Jesus won for us. We have been decreed righteous based on His righteousness. Our acceptance of Him as our savior and our righteousness; creates a filter. The completed work of Christ on the cross and His resurrection is that filter. We are saved by faith in Christ and in His redemptive work.

[Colossians 3:1-4] Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. [2] Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. [3] For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. [4] When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

All guilt and wretchedness Jesus absorbed along with the wrath of God, which falls on all evildoing from which come many problems. We have misinterpreted those problems attributing their cause to a second evil god. On one hand we behave like the lost in huge maze of deities pagans supposing that we please the Almighty when we blame the enemy for all evils. And on the other hand we exempt ourselves from all responsibility having nothing to repent for. If there were the third hand it would be this: as a result we drifted away from having a living relationship with God for we have made and embraced our own theology.   

What Jesus had done physically on earth it spiritually reflected on the heavenly side (next to us). All principalities and (governmental) powers on earth have their counterparts in the spiritual sphere (Romans 13:1). Hence, the kings of Persia were able to retain the man in linen in the Book of Daniel (Dan. 10:13). By understanding these facts we also understand that Christ’s done work on earth is being reflected in heaven. Therefore, both good and evil is being reflected, but only one is being covered—those who are IN Christ, His siblings.

Additionally, Jesus is our intercessor filtering anything displeasing to God, but why? – So that we might have grace, space during which time the Holy Spirit teaches and guides us into all truth. Once this knowledge is established we then gradually conform to the image of Christ who is God’s image also. In view of this understanding Jesus said in Matthew 5:48 that we ought to be perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect.

[2 Corinthians 4:4] in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

[Romans 8:29] For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren.       

[Ephesians 2:4-6] But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, [5] even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), [6] and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

It is better to be seated with Christ than be seated alone.

Christ is the Firstborn and not the only begotten Son. He is not God the Father, but the image, reflection, and to us He is the prefect representation of God’s glory (Hebrews 1:3) the exact representation of God’s nature. Since He is the First-born among many brothers; hence, sons also then quite naturally so we are His siblings. 

Jesus was born and brought forth. We were born and brought forth. We attain to His glory as Jesus had attained to the Father’s glory. The same equipment He came to earth with can be ours minus the cross, suffering and dying. When we die to self resurrection is for us also. 

[Matthew 16:25] For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

[Mark 10:31] But many who are first will be last, and the last, first.

[John 8:51] Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death.


GOD SEES YOUR BLOOD

The heart pumps blood containing the living soul. Therefore, the heart pumps emotions, feelings, strong and weak, good and evil. Whatever your habit may be in that habit you will find guilt emotions. Blood mans life. It contains earthly elements, minerals, metals, vitamins and nutrients; and spiritual elements: inspiration, gifts, spiritual thoughts with inventions, artistic abilities, love, altruism, peace and joy. But it also reflects their opposites: hate, condemnation, sin, perversions, evil imaginations, malice, envies etc., these emanate from human soul and pass through your blood. So what kind of blood does the Creator see?

Besides seeing it all as in a mirror of your blood; things may be are turn-offs or an attraction. Hence, He draws near to the humble; who makes room for Him and for His ways; and is repelled by the conceited and proud. 

[James 4:8] Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

[Numbers 14:24] But My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully...

FEAR & GUILT

God had the best plan, but fear of the unknown stole trust. We can deepen our trust by learning more, by digging deeper, by investigating, and not just by blind believing. If we don't, guilt lurks within the darkened with ignorance soul; ready to leap out at most unexpected moments. 

[Numbers 14:28] But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive out of those men who went to spy out the land.
 

All people had died except these two who had a different spirit. They did not give into their fears. They trusted God and their leader Moses who knew God and gave them His word. That takes self-discipline and some work. Today we know that it is the number one fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:23) and all the other fruits follow then. 

Joshua and Caleb chose well,the rest chose guilt in which they died. The ex-slaves remained slaves in their old unbroken psyche. They were unwilling to rise above ignorance, but remained in the old form of thinking. 

Today we have so many people who fear the fresh and the new God sends their way through different vessels. Due to competition and pride (only among hirelings) others label them as false. That's what the ex-slaves did with the NEW WORD of God given to them through Moses. In their eyes Moses was false and God's liberating Word was false. The result was a big turn-off, so big that although God dwelled among them, they did not possess the Promised Land. One by one they died; still wearing shoes and clothes that never got worn out. They died but not from a disease; for their bodies were healthy; they died from stubborn pride. So what was really blocking them? The answer is this: the inability to repent and change. Only the new can change something old. But when the old blocks anything new; death follows. Repetitious traditions and daily routine can make you rigid and stubborn. This is indeed a powerful force. Guilt can also be vindictive and it confuses true freedom with bondage. The old bondage wields the upper hand when allowed, but it contains death. 

Jesus rebuked those who loved traditions with which they altered God's commandments. The traditions of the elders were more important then the always fresh, living and moving Word Of God.

The glorious exit from Egypt became old.  The entry into Canaan was new. 

The glory of exodus faded away and the miracles. The people fell back into the old sentiments of guilt, which only slaves carry. 

Guilt is put on us since babyhood. We hear it from fairytales, and from religion with its original sin (in Christianity; in Judaism there is no original sin doctrine). Each slave-master's crack of whip creates guilt. A girl gets raped and she feels guilty. Victims feel guilty although they should not, yet they do. It is in the oppressor's interest to keep guilt alive with which he or she binds another human being. God sees it all and turns His face away in disgust. I feel His heart and He feels mine. I am pleasing to Him and this witness I already have inside me.

[John 5:39-42] You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; [40] and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. [41] I do not receive glory from men; [42] but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

[John 8:36] So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. 
 


Moses came to make the slaves free, Elijah and all the prophets. Finally Yeshua came to proclaim liberty and open prison doors and make you truly free. Together with My elder brother Yeshua I say the same. You may search for sources assuming that I draw from those sources, that you might draw from them all by yourself; and are unwilling to come to me. Yet, I am the one sent to you to make you free.

Against the old canvas the new seems false, but such declarations come from insecurity. Peter walked on water when he obeyed the word of Jesus "come", but when he shifted his attention to wind and the threatening waves he sunk. Fear and guilt go hand in hand. 

To the disciples Jesus' walking on water was brand new. They never saw it before. All they knew was boat, nets and fish. Yet Peter was hungry for the new and asked the master to to tell him to come. No problem. "come" Jesus said, and on that single word Peter walked. It was all too new and too fresh, not well established by a stale repetitious religion. 

I was challenged too and I knew that I will be accused of falsehood, yet I trusted and stepped out of the wobbly boat of man's traditions. I am still walking on that one single word "come."

Guilt arises when your routine thinking is broken and you have to do something different from that which you are used to. Your thinking pattern orders behavior.

All of us were born in respective countries, which were formed by history. Nationalism plays a large role in the way our psyche is formed. Our parents pass on to us their mentality through language, paternal and maternal behavior, which they have also inherited.   

Breaking out from these configurations is like breaking out from any confines. This we often see in the nonconformist behaviors of teenagers. They broadcast to us that there must be something new, progressive and better than the old beaten paths. We call it rebellion because we do not like it, but we were once quite the same way; only that we have conformed and became set in our ways. Teenagers are about to either choose something dying or something newly born. Every new generation carries the seeds of innovation in every sector of human life.

The older we get the closer to the sunset of our days we come. Teenagers just entered the world of the rising sun. We see their behavior as being wrong and reckless, disorderly and troublesome for we have always sought peace. We assume that the traditional way carries peace, while the new way is volatile and therefore unwelcome. That is the basic psychology. But is that true or false? It is false because it is an artificial sense of peace, which can be easily abolished.

We are admonished to make peace and seek peace. It is God’s Word to us; hence, His kind of peace (John 14:27). We make peace after we receive peace. Imagine yourself standing under a rock from which water drops on your hands and splashes off to the person standing in front of you. You have received water from the rock you stand under; and you give it to the one standing next to you. This water is God’s peace. You receive it first and then you give it to others. You are a peacemaker.

The same is with faith. You receive it for someone else and thus you pass on the gift of faith. Just as it is in growing economy the exchange of money makes it expend; God’s gift of faith fills every open vessel and so the overall economy grows. God’s Kingdom expands this way.

The world possesses not, nor can ever give us this kind of peace. Therefore most of our set ways are embraced in the name of peace of our own imagination. Guilt comes when this artificial peace is disturbed; and all sorts of dislikes surface. This Golden Cow or Dagon has been disturbed, but who disturbed it? The answer is—God, but through whom? Again, the answer is—through your children. All idols must totter and eventually fall and the sooner we let them fall the better.      

Guilt also arises when nationalistic sentiments are being touched in any way. E.g., enlarging your views beyond those of your own language and country.

1.     Repeatedly getting angry over the same thing
2.     Repeatedly having the same argument over the same things
3.     Routinely eating and drinking the same thing, wearing the same clothes
4.     Going to sleep at the same time with the same habit of eating or drinking
5.     Praying the same prayers with the same expressions
6.     Hearing the same repetitious sermons
7.     Not being open for anything new because of the love of tradition

Religious stagnation stops spiritual progress and the deeper knowledge of God, His ways and therefore the transforming power.

Gods power brings something fresh and unprecedented, otherwise the power does not need to come.

Guilt emotions are the worst, for they pack and clot the arteries of your soul and of your entire psyche.

DID YOU KNOW?

, by brightlight

Do you know that the new wine is poured into a new wineskin, which is you. The Holy Spirit brings always the new and fresh.

Man binds God frees.

Did you know that: “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” - Jesus.

Why?

Because established man's dogmas become old and then die. Anyone brooding in them dies also. Only the fresh and moving lives.

"In Him we LIVE and MOVE and exist" (Acts 17:28).

Do you know heaven's geographical place? Which heaven are you planning to go to; that same place where Lucifer plotted and was kicked out, where rebellions and wars are possible? And if God makes new heaven and new earth then what guarantee do you have that yet another 'accidental' thing won't happen again?

Did you know that salvation is of the Jews - Jesus said (John 4:22). "You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews." If you pull Jesus out of the greater body of His people then your salvation may be incomplete?

And if you exclude Jews from your salvation then you stand on a wobbly foundation too.

What does it all mean?

“May God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem" (Genesis 9:27). What is Shem's Tent? Who is Japheth (look it up) Javan - Greece, Europeans - Christians. In whose tent they should dwell and not in their own?

Did you know that God sacrificed His people Israel the Jew for you?

He bought the Filed (the world) for in it He found the hidden treasure.

God's Firstborn Son Yeshua (Jesus) laid His life down of His own will in obedience to the Father's commandment (Read John 10:16-17); He brings the other sheep to no other place but the same Jewish fold, which is a fulfillment of many prophecies.

"Did you know that it is the Jew the root that supports the Gentile Christian?"

Speaking of the Jew (Romans 11:16) "If the first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too."

Read further: "But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you." 

The church is arrogant by selfishly and very proudly interpreting the Jewish Bible by sending the Jew into tribulation as if brewing another Holocaust for him while Christians plan to go up in rapture, on the cloud... such are already on it.

Then fools teach you garbage about chief demons you must supposedly vigilant about etc. - It is then so easy to manipulate, give phony prophecies and bathe in man-made cesspool of vain imaginations.  Blind guides of the blind. Lost in their own tent of utter foolishness and nonsense giving you blind beliefs in something they know nothing about.

Did you know that there are three classes or types of people on this earth. The good seed, the field and the tares. The field can also be religious. The world's masses will perish and will be burned up instantly with the tares.

This Jew can enlarge your knowledge if you step into his tent. Your salvation will be sure. You will know where heaven is and who you really are.

Did you know that God has hired people for the harvest and calls them either hirelings or laborers, but He also has sons.

Which one are you?

Did you know that there are five steps leading to a complete freedom from man's nonsense and arrogance in which most Christians dwell, but do not know it?

Man always binds. God always frees. God's children do sense that there is something wrong and would like to be free, but their brains have been hijacked and taken for a spin. It's been so for quite a long time now so it hard to know the Truth, which is under wraps; lost in man's theology - vain imaginations.

If heaven is not pure and perfect then where is the perfect heaven with perfect God in it?

We tell the world that they will be really happy by accepting Jesus. The freshly cooked Christians then join a camp in which the hear about wrestling, fighting, spiritual upheavals, fear and doubts, Lucifers, Satans, devils, hell, Armageddon, heavenly wars, Apocalypse, death and then 'they' (those merciless ignorant idiots) tell you that by then you will be with Jesus on the cloud.

Where is the promised peace of John 14:27 - not of THIS world, then of which world? Where fallen angels had fallen from, so if they fell then it must be up somewhere in the sky, but fell down to where? So God wants you to war with the fallen ones and forget God because there is no time left for the study of God and His kingdom within us and amongst us down here on earth. 

What is one-third from an innumerable myriad? What idiot(s) do you follow?

Do the fallen angels sit on your shoulder?

DO YOU WANT TO BE FREE FROM THIS TRASH?

The Holy Spirit of Truth explains same Bible and brings liberty. Freedom from what? From mans proud confusion and speculations just to bind and control.

Take five steps to freedom:
1. Believe in the Truth. 2. Continue. 3. Become disciple. 4. Know the Truth. 5. Be made totally free (John 8:31-32).

Are you hungry for more? There is much more.

Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death (John 8:51). Any kind of death.

The Lost truths reveled today, not yesterday nor tomorrow, but now.  

IF YOU DO NOT SEEK YOU WILL NEVER FIND.

WHAT EXCITES GOD

, by brightlight


Was Gott Begeistert 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 50th 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.
