LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD

I have set before you life and death, choose life, that both you and your children may live. — Deuteronomy 30:19

LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, the light and the darkness, the firmament and the animals. "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." (Genesis 2:7) The breath of God entered the lungs, traveled to the heart and eventually entered into the blood. Blood circulating throughout the body carried the breath of God—or rather, the breath of life. Blood then, is the carrier of life.

Anatomically, bones contain marrow, and the marrow churns out stem cells that form the tissue we call blood.

View of the Bone Marrow

Blood is the only tissue that has constant contact with every cell of the body. Apart from carrying the life of God—or as we so appropriately term it, oxygen—blood feeds the body with nutrients and assists in the process of extracting wastes. Yet another important function is maintaining a balanced environment so that the body may be comfortable to continue its normal functions. The red color of blood is attributed to little red cells suspended in the liquid; white cells are also found in the suspension, and they act in the capacity of defense. The liquid portion of blood has a clear, watery look if all these cells—red cells, white cells, and other particles—are removed. Often, blood cells are extracted and tested to identify blood type—sort of a label that marks the blood—while other blood tests can determine the state of health of the body.

The blastocyst of the developing fetus (the beginning stages of a baby in the womb) consists of dividing cells allocated to internal organs and external body structures. From these cells, just around the fifth week after conception, the heart, spinal cord and brain will develop. Shortly after, the major blood vessels form, and the heart begins to pump blood with its first red blood cells.

The Developing Fetus

Where does that breath come from in this developing embryo? Does God breathe again each time conception occurs? No. The sperm and the egg are alive. They carry life; they carry the breath of God. This life is ready for its existence on earth— ready to carry out the will of God, its creator.

The enemy has no legal right to the breath in man; man's breath belongs to God. Therefore, it is also true that the enemy has no legal ownership to man. Man belongs to God; man was created and made alive for God and His divine purpose.

Man belongs to God; man was created and

made alive for God and His divine purpose.

However, Satan has constantly lusted and connived for the glories of God—the lives of humans are now his chief priority. Life can then be redefined as serving the Creator, or on the other hand, being beguiled by him whose sole existence is to steal the life of God from mankind. If he has no legal right to the lives of humans, then every life that Satan adds to his coffers has been stolen. The master of deception negotiates his way into the heart of man through the promise to fulfill the needs and insatiable desires of the flesh; in the process, he works to bring devastation to the body or waste precious life through the spilling of blood, resulting in death.

Chapter 2

SMOOTH DECEPTION

I gave my heart to seek and search out wisdom concerning all things done under heaven: this sore travail has God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith. —Ecclesiastes 1:13

SMOOTH DECEPTION

Hell from beneath is moved for you to meet you at your coming: it stirs up the dead for you, even all the chief ones of the earth; it has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. All they shall speak and say unto you, "Are you also become weak as we? Are you become like unto us?" Your pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of your viols: the worm is spread under you, and the worms cover you. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!

They that see you shall narrowly look

upon you, and consider you, saying, ^uIs

this the man that made the earth to tremble,

that did shake kingdoms; that opened

not the house of his prisoners?"

How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the Nations! For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High. Yet you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see you shall narrowly look upon you, and consider you, saying, "Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; that made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?" (Isaiah 14:9–18).

The story above is told of an angel named Lucifer. The Son of the Morning was beautiful to look at, and was God's right hand. Lucifer, now referred to as Satan, coveted the throne of God; he along with one third of the angels in heaven, committed anarchy to displace God.

Lucifer's scheme has been to violate the

relationship between God and His children

by deceiving the children into rejecting their Father God.

The plot failed, and Satan was kicked out of heaven with the rebellious angels. However, he has not given up on the scheme to disrupt the plan of God. The turf has changed, and so has his strategy, but the plot continues. Since his fall from grace, Lucifer's scheme has been to violate the relationship between God and His children by deceiving the children into rejecting their Father God.

As a result of the fall, another kingdom was born, ruled by Lucifer and the fallen angels. Of course, the subjects of both kingdoms—the kingdom of Jehovah God and the kingdom of Lucifer—are not humans, but angels. They are referred to as supernatural beings, which means they are empowered beyond human abilities. The habitation of these beings is also beyond human comprehension, except that humans are given a glimpse into this spiritual realm from time to time.

The two spiritual kingdoms are distinctly set apart by right and wrong, good and evil. Hence, they are referred to as the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness, respectively.

The kingdom of God operates on the premise of truth with unaltered foundational standards. The children of God's kingdom have bargained, reasoned and deliberately written amendments to the laws of God, but all have failed in the light of the purity and stability of the Word of God, which is firmly unchangeable. Psalm 12:6 tells us that the Words of the Lord are pure words; like silver is tried in a furnace of earth, so the Word is purified seven times.

The clause 'dominion' included the

wholesomeness of enjoyment and

complete delight in the beauty of all

that was created.

The kingdom of darkness began its existence in treason. Satan exalted himself to take God's throne, and along with the angels that joined in the botched overthrow, he was cast out of God's domain into the lake of everlasting fire. The goal of the satanic kingdom is to accomplish evil at any cost. With deception at its helm, the regulations are tailored specifically to bring death to the soul of man.

When God created Adam in the Garden of Eden, He gave Adam the unique gift of authority over all that was created. The Lord God specifically referred to the gift as dominion—subdue and rule the earth. The clause 'dominion' included the wholesomeness of enjoyment and complete delight in the beauty of all that was created.

God came down in the cool of the day to fellowship with Adam and Eve. He gave them liberty to enjoy the garden in which they lived, except one tree from which they were told not to eat. One day, when God was not around, Satan visited Eve and had an interesting conversation with her. In this conversation, he accomplished a most sinister plot. The Devil caused the woman to look beyond her capacity and conceive of the notion that her environment could be enhanced by simply bending an unimportant rule. As soon as he was satisfied that she was sufficiently duped, he dropped out of site. The Devil tricked Eve into disobeying God. (Genesis 3:19).

"I will offer you the ability to be like god;

just do as I say." This may have been the

sweetest lie to land on the ear of mankind.

Amazingly, the same line is used today

to beguile many.

Eve trusted the words she heard from God's enemy. To demonstrate her belief, she followed through on the words she heard. Eve perhaps had no desire to taste of the fruit of the forbidden tree. God, whom she and Adam loved, did not want her eating of the tree, and that was enough. However, another opinion caused her to think twice. I wonder how long it was after the conversation with Satan that Eve became convinced to do that which she had never done before?

The Devil's words were, "You will become like gods." (Genesis 3:5) What an exciting proposition. Is there any higher achievement? All that Eve possessed paled in the light of this offer. "I will offer you the ability to be like god; just do as I say." This may have been the sweetest lie to land on the ear of mankind. Amazingly, the same line is used today to beguile many. But look again— has anyone achieved the status, or even come close to being god?

Interestingly, an unholy exchange took place. There were fine prints—or rather, in this case, an undertone to the Devil's words. If Eve obeyed his words, she would become his servant. As a servant, all she possessed would be turned over to him for ownership. What did Eve own? Land—lots of it. This is an understatement; sorry! Eve owned all of it. Let's not forget the intrinsic value to the land—dominion. There is a difference between owning and possessing. Adam and Eve possessed the land, the earth.

Two became one, melded in thought

and mind, allowing the exchange of

fellowship to flow homogeneously without

words, yet with potent understanding,

intense joy, and an unlimited exchange of ideas,

like swift currents of light...

Another point to consider is the knowledge of God. Adam and Eve possessed infinite knowledge that was stolen in a moment of trickery. Holy, undefiled humans who fellowshipped with God daily, and were filled with the knowledge of God (talk about holy communion), became void of God's glory in a moment and instead were filled with fear.

It is safe to say, then, that fear is a product of sin—of disobedience to truth—and at the root of fear is shame. From that point forward, Adam and Eve conducted their lives in shame. How could they return to the state of purity, the safety of the perfect love of God? Notably, after sin was accomplished, it created the rift that separated Adam and Eve from all they had enjoyed and possessed, and they did not know how to re-inherit or re-establish the bond needed to save them from this dreadful state.

God sent His Son, Jesus, to earth to

become the bearer (or the Christ) for

the sins of Adam and his descendants

through a sacrificial death by crucifixion.

Before the beguilement, Adam and Eve communicated daily with God on subjects of creation and the holiness of God's being—the questions we crave answers for. Who is God? Where does He come from? My granddaughter asked, "When is God's birthday?" She wanted to give Him birthday presents. This and more generated the serenity and sweetness that oozed from both parties as they enjoyed the delicacy and purity of worship.

Those moments ruptured the infinity of time as man became lost in indescribable pleasure, serenading Love as He was designed to be reverenced, and Love reciprocating with the infilling of His Spirit. So the two became one, melded in thought and mind, allowing the exchange of fellowship to flow homogeneously without words, yet with potent understanding, intense joy, and an unlimited exchange of ideas, like swift currents of light; they were loaded.

It is hard to imagine that the master of trickery and deception won the rights to Adam and Eve's minds, actions and future—and he took it all. Not just from Adam and Eve, but from all their descendants. Psalm 51:5 says, "Surely, I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me" (NIV). He took the knowledge, the land, the dominion and the fellowship, and left man deprived and in a stupor.

Satan is still hunting prey. He has never

stopped, and the snake charm of his

subtle, lying offers need eyes of the spirit

to decipher.

The theory, "you will become like God" was long forgotten in a tangled mess of abandonment. See, Satan did not reveal the whole truth; he never does. His bill of goods is sold on false promises, and when he does not deliver, there is no reclaim of lost value or clobbering the monster over the head for robbing us blind. We are left entirely on our own to sort out a godless existence and pending doom.

It may be a good time to ask what was God's response to all this. Well, God sent His Son, Jesus, to earth to become the bearer (or the Christ) for the sins of Adam and his descendants through a sacrificial death by crucifixion. And in like manner, Satan offered Jesus a deal. Luke 4:5–7 captures it in this way: "Jesus, son of God, bow down and worship me, reverence me, obey me, and I will give You all the kingdoms of this world and the glory of them, for they have been delivered to me and I give it to whomever I wish." If Jesus accepted this offer, He would not have had to die for the sins of mankind.

The exchange would have been the reclaim of that which Lucifer stole from Adam and Eve—dominion, possession, et cetera. However, the rest of the deceptive clause would read, "Jesus never became Christ (Savior of the world), because He entered into an unholy alliance with Satan when He bowed and worshiped the enemy of God. He got the world and its glory, but He never reclaimed the lost souls of humanity. As a result, He was not able to go back to His Father, God. Of course He was ashamed, but the most damning result was that God lost complete fellowship with His children, and they are all subject to grotesque evils in their lives on earth, and after death, they enter the flames of eternal hell." But Jesus was not swayed by the cunning lies of Satan. Jesus knew Satan could not deliver on any promise. He is just a liar; in fact, he is the father of lies.

Everyone who flees the camp of Satan

to serve the living God will come face-to-face

with the decision to accept the subtle offer

of selling his or her soul, to receive the

passionate desires of the heart.

Should we belabor the point that the plot continues? Everyone who flees the camp of Satan to serve the living God will come face-to-face with the decision to accept the subtle offer of selling his or her soul, to accept the ease and pleasure of that which the eye can see and the heart passionately desires but has not yet attained. The offer to sell is never for the salvation of man's soul. (Of course, the enemy will lie, but any fool will know he does not have salvation.) The offer is only for the limitations of fleshy indulgence, and the limits are multiplied to gain trust, but the Devil cannot deliver. The bottom line is that Satan is still hunting prey. He has never stopped, and the snake charm of his subtle, lying offers need eyes of the spirit to decipher.

The offer is only for the limitations

of fleshy indulgence, and the limits

Devil cannot deliver.

It does bring up the question, with the intensity of fellowship experienced between Adam, Eve, and God, and their subsequent failure, who then can qualify for an undefiled relationship with this holy God? I am glad you asked. Let's sigh with relief for the pure and precious blood of Jesus Christ, Son of the living God.

Chapter 3

RELIGION THROUGH VARIOUS EYES

Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death. —Psalm 13:3

RELIGION THROUGH VARIOUS EYES

Man has ran the gamut on religion. If it is out there, someone is going to find it. If it does not exist and someone envisions it, bet your bottom dollar it will be created. Why? Man was created to worship.

Some of us have accepted the concept that if there is a God out there somewhere, He must be bigger and greater than our minds would allow us to perceive. Therefore, our faith rests in the revelation He has handed to us. The mystery that surrounds His omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence will suffice, because anything less reduces Him to our limitations. Our search is diligent and unstoppable. Our reverence is deep. Our explanation is beyond words, so we humbly express ourselves in steadfast faith.

The mystery that surrounds God’s omniscience,

omnipresence, and omnipotence will suffice,

because anything less reduces

Him to our limitations.

Still, others have placed their faith in God through humans or objects. This faith seeks its connection not directly but rather through a sincere trust in the ability of someone or something else to communicate with the God in whom he or she trusts but has not connected. Then, there are religions that have conferred sanctity upon gods they see with physical eyes. This makes absolute sense to the physical man, whose intellect is trained to maneuver and conquer his world. Therefore, if one cannot see it, taste it, touch it, smell it, or feel it, the limited mind says it cannot exist. Other religious forms trust in self to analyze the maze of life and connect to inner peace or the lack of it. Again, this belief carries the idea that if the concept cannot be explained in its fullness—if it leaves gaps of unanswered questions or unsuitable definitions—then it lacks the qualifications to satisfy complete submission and worship. The worshiper here creates a god rooted in self. Uniquely, the inadequacies are so endless that this religion leads to the endless search for more, and eventually skews rights and wrongs, truths and lies. Grasping for solutions, it creates ambiguous answers to define the unexplainable, and with the eventual control of those in its grasp, it cries out, "This is power, and I am god."

Other religious forms trust in self to analyze

the maze of life and connect to inner peace

or the lack of it.

There is more. Some have formulated rituals and rites that confer upon them qualifications to increase and rise above the status quo and achieve the unthinkable. In these notions lie the belief that one has tapped into the realms of higher powers that rule and activate that which tantalizes the senses and bestows a sort of greatness above peers. This then becomes the milestone, the marker that ushers him or her beyond; greatness becomes godliness.

Please forgive my ignorance, because it is hard to fathom each man's notion of God; for even those who congregate to honor the lord of a common faith differ in understanding and knowledge of the god they serve. But we must explore this last facet of another type of religion. There are those who worship Lucifer as god. Fascinating information exists on the doctrine and the rituals performed by these followers, but most intriguing were the depth of trust and the passion expressed by them.

At its foundation, all religion obligates its followers to some form of worship where the god being served requires due diligence in return for the conferral of that which its subjects seek. The exchange between god and man, and the requirements of the exchange, take matters to levels unimaginable. A newspaper of the Congolese reported a father who was required to cohabit with his two-year-old infant and bring the blood to the witchdoctor. In exchange, he and his family would no longer be poor. Okay, this is bizarre. Where did this father place his heart when he went to commit this blood sacrifice? What kind of poverty could reduce a father to that level of cruelty?

All religion obligates its followers to

being sewed requires due diligence

which its subjects seek.

Of course, there are ritualistic practices requiring the burning of bodies—animal or human; practices that require gruesome piercings and markings on the body; practices that require babies to be offered by fire to the gods in exchange for what is considered a great life here on earth; and we cannot forget the ultimate sacrifice of one's own life to a god or in the name of religion in exchange for a better life hereafter.

And you shall not let any of your children pass through the fire to Molech, neither shall you profane the Name of thy God: I am the LORD. (Leviticus 18:2)

And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger. (2 Kings 17:17)

And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger. (2 Kings 21:6)

The measures humans have gone to attain

the dream of life as we know it has

left the planet in mourning.

My point is that some religions and their requirements are strange. Okay, I have once again understated a major point. The measures humans have gone to attain the dream of life as we know it has left the planet in mourning. Beyond the devastation wreaked are the lies, cover-ups, hatred, wars and division that have been generated; yet the promise was to attain greater and better things. Is this a revelatory moment to ask, "If my achievement was indeed better, then why is my soul in such agony and shame?"

Perhaps for those of us who have not been rendered calloused by the deeds and promises of an unfulfilling religion, the soul may still wait for truth. Perhaps somewhere out there exists a God who can rectify and restore, who can truly make crooked places straight, who can restore the breach, who can make all things work together for my good if I choose to love Him, who has a way that is right and the end is not destruction. Perhaps that which I need is truly beyond what my mind can perceive.

The secrets of life are hidden to those

who are proud in spirit, but a broken

and contrite heart, God will not refuse.

Is it possible to believe in simple trust that the Almighty God must be beyond my explanation? Could the reality be that a childlike faith bears the solution to true peace and prosperity? But how can I truly know who God is? Was it not my belief that led me to the place I am? How can I trust my knowledge to yield righteousness?

The secrets of life are hidden to those who are proud in spirit, but a broken and contrite heart, God will not refuse.

Chapter 4

A TIME OF MEDITATION

When wisdom enters into your heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto your soul; discretion will preserve you, understanding will keep you. –Proverbs 2:10

A TIME OF MEDITATION

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: When as His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had told him, and took unto him his wife. (Matthew 1:18–24)

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and

shall bring forth a son, and they shall call

His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted

is, God with us.
