Restoring the Apostate Church - UBM [David Eells]

Lot and his daughters, natural Israel and the Church, the temple being cleansed, work of the Man-child ministry and the Two Witnesses for eight days, and the work being done the Gospel out to all nations during that time; persecution for the witnesses and those who endure to the end will be saved.

1) Lot and His Daughters (A parable of God's people falling into apostasy)

If one sees only natural incest here, they will get a lesson but there is a far-reaching greater lesson in the Spirit that we must see. "The letter killeth but the Spirit giveth life". I don't know what translation Dave is using here. {Gen.19:30} Now Lot went up from Zoar, and lived in the mountain together with his two daughters, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar; and he lived in a cave with his two daughters. {31} The firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is aging, and there is not a man on earth to be intimate with us in the customary way (meaning: so that we may have children). {32} Come, let us make our father drunk with wine, and we will lie with him so that we may preserve our family through our father". {33} So they gave their father wine that night, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father; and he did not know when she lay down or when she got up (because he was completely intoxicated). {34} Then the next day, the firstborn said to the younger, "Behold, I lay with my father last night; let us make him drunk with wine tonight also, and then you go in and lie with him, so that we may preserve our family through our father". {35} So they gave their father wine that night also, and the younger got up and lay with him; and again he did not know when she lay down or when she got up.

{Gen.19:36} Thus both the daughters of Lot conceived by their father. The relationship of Lot to his daughters is a parable of his lineage falling into apostasy. Lot was said to be a righteous man, who represents OUR Father and the Husband who sows the seed of His Word in His people, both old and new testaments. {37} The firstborn gave birth to a son, and named him Moab (meaning: from her father); he is the father of the Moabites to this day. Representing God's firstborn, Israel, who fell into apostasy and idolatry, just as Moab did. {38} The younger also gave birth to a son and named him Ben-ammi (meaning: son of my people); he is the father of the Ammonites to this day. Representing God's second born, the Church, who received the double portion, anointing and gift, but fell into apostasy and idolatry, just as Ammon did. The Church is also the "son of my people" Israel because they were the first to bring the Gospel to the Gentile Church. What comes next in this revelation is the cleansing of God's apostate people.)

2) Hezekiah Cleanses the Temple (A parable of the Man-child restoring God's people from apostasy)

{2Ch.29:3} In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he (Hezekiah) opened the doors of the house of the LORD (which his father had closed) and repaired them (and he placed the gold overlay: 2Kings 18:16). {4} He brought in the priests and Levites and gathered them into the square on the east. {5} Then he said to them, "Levites, listen to me! Now consecrate (sanctify) yourselves and consecrate the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and get the filth (of idol worship) out of the Holy Place. This consecration of the Levites represents the consecration of the priests of God's Kingdom. {Exo.19:5} Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be mine own possession from among all peoples: for all the earth is mine: {6} and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. As we have seen, Hezekiah was a reformer and type of the coming Man-child ministry which will consecrate and sanctify the people of God who are a Kingdom of priests or Levites.

{Mal.3:2} But who can abide the day of his coming? (Jesus manifested in the Man-child body) and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap: {3} and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer unto Jehovah offerings in righteousness. {4} Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto Jehovah, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years. Reformed by Jesus in the Man-child body, just as Jesus did in His day in the son of David. Swift judgment will then come on the sinners. {5} And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the sojourner from his right, and fear not me, saith Jehovah of hosts.

{2Ch.29:6} For our fathers have been unfaithful and have done evil in the sight of the LORD our God, and they have abandoned Him and have turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the LORD, and have turned their backs (to Him) . Then we see a spiritual description of abandoning God that applies to many feigning religion. {7} They have also closed the doors of the (temple) porch and put out the lamps, and they have not burned incense (prayer) nor offered burnt offerings (taken up their cross by sacrificing their flesh) in the Holy Place to the God of Israel (2Kings 16:10-16). {8} Therefore the wrath of the LORD has been against Judah and Jerusalem, and He has made them an object of terror, of horror, and of hissing, just as you see with your own eyes. {9} For behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity because of this. So repairing the temple is repairing the body of God's people who were in captivity and under the curse because they had departed from God's presence, but not necessarily from the church buildings.

{10} Now it is in my (Hezekiah) heart to make a covenant (which is a solemn agreement) with the LORD God of Israel, so that His burning anger will turn away from us. Keep the covenant so the wrath is not upon you or the body. {11} My sons, do not be negligent and careless now, for the LORD has chosen you to stand in His presence, to attend to His service, and to be His ministers and burn incense". Pray for yourself, the body, the country, so wrath doesn't come. {12} Then the Levites arose: Mahath the son of Amasai and Joel the son of Azariah, from the sons of the Kohathites; from the sons of Merari: Kish the son of Abdi, Azariah the son of Jehallelel; from the Gershonites: Joah the son of Zimmah and Eden the son of Joah; {13} from the sons of Elizaphan: Shimri and Jeiel; from the sons of Asaph: Zechariah, and Mattaniah; {14} from the sons of Heman: Jehiel and Shimei; and from the sons of Jeduthun: Shemaiah and Uzziel. {15} They gathered their brothers (their fellow Levites) together, consecrated (sanctified) themselves (from sin), and went in to cleanse the house of the LORD, as the king had commanded by the words of the LORD.

{16} The priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD to cleanse it, and every unclean thing they found in the temple of the LORD they brought out to the courtyard of the LORD'S house. Then the Levites received it to take out to the Kidron Valley (for disposal). {17} Now they began the consecration (sanctification) on the first (day) of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of the LORD. Then for eight days they consecrated (sanctified) the house of the LORD, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished. {18} Then they went inside to King Hezekiah and said, "We have cleansed the entire house (temple) of the LORD, the altar of burnt offering with all of its utensils, and the table of showbread with all its utensils. {19} Moreover, we have prepared and consecrated all the utensils which King Ahaz had discarded during his reign in his unfaithfulness; and behold, they are in front of the altar of the LORD".

3) Gospel Preached to All Nations (A parable of the restored body bringing in the harvest)

{Mar.13:10} The gospel (that is, the good news regarding the way of salvation) must first be preached to all the nations (as in Colossians 1:6,23). {11} When they take you and turn you over (to the court), do not worry beforehand about what to say, but say whatever is given to you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit (who will speak through you). {12} Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up and take a stand against parents and have them put to death. {13} You will be hated by everyone because of (your association with) My name, but the one who (patiently perseveres empowered by the Holy Spirit and) endures to the end, he will be saved.

How Will This Restoration Come to a Proud and Independent, Egotistical People?

There is NO Ego in the Body of Christ
Eve Brast - 10/22/2016
(David's notes in red)

While everyone was sharing last night, Father brought a scripture to mind: {1Pe.4:18} And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear? {19} Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator. I thought that this is a very weighty and impacting statement and makes me tremble with Godly fear at its implications. And then I thought about the next verse, 19, that when we are bitter and unforgiving, critical or judgmental, we are actually being unwilling to "suffer according to the will of God". Later I thought about what Jesus said in {Joh.13:16} Verily, verily, I say unto you, a servant is not greater than his lord; neither one that is sent greater than he that sent him. Jesus suffered injustice and wrongful treatment at the hands of evil people His whole life: "A man of many sorrows and acquainted with grief". Should we expect, as His disciples, not to endure the same? I pray for myself and us all that Father will fill us with the same grace to endure the suffering according to His will and recognize that ultimately it comes from Him. If we fight against it, we only delay our progress.

While driving to that Friday night meeting, I asked Father for a confirmation during our meeting if I was to share the word He gave me on Thursday, 10/20/16. So while David was speaking to us about pride and humbling ourselves, he used the term "ego" which seemed to be the main theme of the word Father had given me. I knew then that it was the confirmation that I had asked for and I knew He wanted me to share it with the brethren.

So here is that word:

"You were created for My purposes and Mine alone. You were created to serve Me, My Kingdom, and your fellow servants. Your sole purpose is to glorify the name in all you think or do. The body is one. There is no ego in the body (which isHis body), no separateness, no fleshly individualism, which is factious and divisive, no independence. There is one Spirit and all who abide in Me and My Son will have the same Spirit. They will have My desire for the life I've given them and for others. There is only one personality, one character in the Body. Ego and individualism are rebellion and Jezebel. (Unforgiveness, offense, anger, self-justification, faction, criticism, slander, backbiting, railing, is all part of this witchcraft spirit.) The life I gave you is not your own. I ransomed you. You belong to Me. Your allegiance is to Me, not to man and the flesh. Serve me with unwavering loyalty. Understand that this is your sole purpose. There is no other life or reason to exist. Those who live for themselves don't consider My will and they are choosing death. They are choosing separateness, individualism and separation from Me". (And, I would say, separation from His character [and his body].)

I posted a word from Father: "Let My Spirit have free course in you". In which He said, " Get rid of the "I's" and let there be only Me". Here it is:

(I've been hearing this phrase for about two weeks now: "Let My Spirit have free course in you". So on Wednesday I asked Father what He wanted to share about this. I really felt the heart of His Spirit pouring out to me while He spoke. I hope it will bless y'all, too. :0)
He said, "Come away with Me, My love! Come away with Me, My Bride. I desire to be your only love. I desire to be the only one reflected back to Me in the eyes of my dove. Let My Spirit have free course in you. Surrender to Me. Yield your control to Me. Be still and hear the voice of My Spirit. Let My Holy Spirit lead and guide you into all obedience. I long to be in sweet communion with you, undistracted and unhindered".
"Do you trust Me, My love? Do you truly trust Me? Allow Me to have free course in you. Trust Me to live and move through you as a vessel of honor for My people and My Kingdom. For this purpose I created you. Get rid of the "I's" and let there be only Me! There is no other fulfillment; no other satisfaction; no other completion outside of sweet communion with Me".
I looked up the word Ego and this was one of the things that was mentioned: Ego is the Latin word for "I". So if a person seems to begin every sentence with "I", it's sometimes a sign of a big ego.
Thank you, Father, for giving us Your grace and Your humility. Help us to rid ourselves of pride and ego, self-centeredness or self-importance. By faith we believe that You are perfecting Christ's character in us. Help us to have the desire and strength to commit ourselves to You and to well-doing, in Jesus' name. Amen. Love to you all, Eve.

Pride, Independence and Egotism is not of the Body
David Eells
(Notes in red)

Proud and independent people do not control their tongue so they destroy the unity of the body and are not part of the body. {Jas.3:5} So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire! {6} And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell. Those whose tongues do not conform to the confines of scripture destroy the body of Christ and are guilty of its blood. {7} For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind. {8} But the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison. Which comes from the evil heart: "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh". {9} Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: {10} out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. {11} Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter?

{12} Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? Neither can salt water yield sweet. {13} Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom. {14} But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth. Faction always lies because it is a demon spirit and speaks in order to deceive and take captive even the innocent. Faction is causing division for selfish ambition to make disciples, so there is lying and jealousy involved. Faction is separation and independence from the body and its leadership.

{15} This wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. {16} For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed. Every vile deed describes well the independence from the body the faction have and create in others. Unforgiveness, offense, anger, self-justification, faction, criticism, slander, backbiting, railing, lying, theft, deception, witchcraft, graft, extortion, is all brought in by the faction spirit. On the other side of this Beast, the election has revealed this same nature in our government. Ever wonder why they can justify killing Christians all over the world and are ready to do it here? So don't feed on that or you can receive that spirit. Those Christians who receive this spirit also murder the brethren through slander, introducing them to faction unawares. I have seen faction demons take over brethren who had a lust to rule over the body. I have seen them side with and even become homosexuals under this spirit several times. I have seen brethren taken over by lust after receiving this spirit. I have seen them try to bring convicted unrepentant pedophiles and womanizers into the church and get angry and leave when I forbade it. I have seen them go into grand theft many times. One man stole 300 silver coins that were to be given to the poor brethren and then a sound system from the church. Another stole a commercial lawnmower. Another stole tractor equipment. I have seen them steal money from the brethren many times when this spirit come upon them.

One man who was hiding his sin among us had spent many years in federal prison for theft and when he came to us he was sued because he forged a check sent to his ex-wife for around $22,000 and the judge threw him in jail until he would give the money back to his ex. His new wife told me he still had the money, so I convinced him to give up his stolen money to get out of jail. When faction totally consumed him, he told everyone I stole the money from him. This is the kind of perversion these spirits do. And these cannot be convicted of any sin. They are no longer moved or constrained by scriptures. I have seen them join religions that were not Christian or go under the law as a Jew to try to be justified because they never have faith for grace anymore when that spirit enters them. As David Wilkerson witnessed, their main target is the true leadership of the church, just like Satan. None of these people would have considered these "vile deeds" before receiving the faction spirit. They were turned over to this because they were hiding a sin or had one of the forms of unforgiveness. So fear God and avoid like the plague anyone who wants to whisper in your ear against others. These people have lost many years that they could have been bearing fruit and some are lost eternally. As one man told us when he partially repented and came to us, "The Lord told me that this is my last chance", and even knowing this he didn't take it. I pray for all of these people that, like Nebuchadnezzar, they would be granted grace to snap out of this demon possession.

Continuing with our James 3 text: {17} But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy. {18} And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.

{Jas.4:1} Whence come wars and whence come fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your pleasures that war in your members? {2} Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not. {3} Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures. {4} Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God. {5} Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying? Envy and jealousy come from ego. The Bible codes says "Ego IS the antichrist".) {6} But he giveth more grace. Wherefore the scripture saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.

{7} Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. {8} Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded. {9} Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. {10} Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you. {11} Speak not one against another, brethren. He that speaketh against a brother (Slander and blaspheme means to speak against another.), or judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. {12} One only is the lawgiver and judge, even he who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou that judgest thy neighbor?

The independent are proud, unforgiving, and judgmental. They are their own God.

{Mat.6:9} After this manner therefore pray ye. Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. {10} Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. {11} Give us this day our daily bread. {12} And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. {13} And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. {14} For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. {15} But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. The unforgiving person is under the curse of Deuteronomy 28 because they are not forgiven. The independent person does not have to "obey them that have the rule over you", for they make themselves elders, prophets, pastors, apostles, etc. They judge others unworthy of grace and therefore have no grace from God to avoid judgment. {18:34} And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. {35} So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts. The tormenting demons then take this person to show them what it is to have God's unforgiveness with no grace and if they still do not repent they are reprobated.)

{Jas.2:7} Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called? {8} Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well: {9} but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. {10} For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is become guilty of all. {11} For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law. {12} So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty. {13} For judgment is without mercy to him that hath showed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment. We will be judged by grace if we give grace; we will be judged by the law if we judge others according to law.

{Mat.7:1} Judge not, that ye be not judged. If you are being judged, you are likely judging others. This judging is manifested in separation, unforgiveness, anger, wrath, etc. {2} For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. As much as you judge is how much you will be judged. {3} And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? {4} Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? {5} Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

{Rom.2:1} Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judges another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things. When a person has demons, they are the grossest hypocrites, for they accuse others of doing exactly what they do. {2} And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise such things. {3} And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

{Rom.14:4} Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand.... (This is where our faith must be: that God will save them through their afflictions.) {10} But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God. {11} For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God. {12} So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God. {13} Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother's way, or an occasion of falling.

{Rom.12:16} Be of the same mind one toward another. Set not your mind on high things, but condescend to things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits. {17} Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men. {18} If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men.

{Mat.12:36} And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. {37} For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
