Response To Initiation Part 1

The ladder of deception......

The ultimate expression/embodiment in the earth of Response to Initiation is the Bride/Body of Christ/Assembly of God. She has no character of her own, but is merely to be a reflector/responder of the Master's character in the earth. Before she can be a true reflector/responder there is another thing which must occur in God's program which affects her, which I call the "Ladder of Deception".

At present she is reflecting/responding the things of earth, because she is still earthly minded. She is conforming to this world. She has dirtied herself by mixing with and believing in and reflecting the character of this world. She is not listening to what HE sends her.

What He sends her is His Voice-His Word-as life circumstances, in the form of adversity, which she cannot/will not "read". She doesn't make the connection that all of life is spiritual and therefore, whatever happens to her in this life IS A LESSON TO BE LEARNED and an OPPORTUNITY TO OVERCOME.

Jesus does not "participate" in the life of someone ("sup with them"-Rev.3:20;and "know" them: Math.7:23;25:12; Lk.6:46;13:25,27) unless THEY LISTEN TO HIS VOICE AND DO WHAT HE SAYS, and because in this condition she is "less than a baby", she is not going to hear the True voice of the spirit within her, as she is ignoring the outward Word in her life circumstances. (By "less than a baby" I mean her condition is like the earliest stages of pregnancy when the future baby is still "without form and void", as Gen 1:1 described the earth). As long as she remains in this condition, Jesus does not "know" her; she can say Lord!Lord! all she wants.

1Kings18:21"And Elijah drew near unto all the people and said-How long are you limping as though on unequal legs, between two divided opinions? If Yahweh be God follow Him, but if Baal, follow him. But the people answered him not a word."

How long is this woman going to continue in doublemindedness/double vision/two natures philosophy? How long is she going to live in schizophrenia?......Until the indignation is exhausted.......

She professes Jesus and says she has faith in Him, but still lives and is led by her senses. She insists on grasping tight to her bosom the ancient heathen, paganistic, demon worshipping practices from antiquity: "christmas", "easter", "halloween", "patron saints", "beads", "icons", "relics", etc. She thinks by slapping the title "christian" on it, that makes it ok. She has no conception of "whatsoever is not of faith is sin" , Rom. 14:23.

Her conversations are full of surmisings and speculations which lead to questionings, and when continued in, lead to questionings of the written Word-"has God said?", and we know where that comes from. Here is where high minded educationalism enters the fray and begins to explain away and lead many followers astray into full blown deception.

2Tim3:6-7"For these are they who enter into the houses and captivate silly women, women laden with sins, led on by manifold covetings, ever learning and never unto a personal knowledge of truth able to come."

This passage is not just referring to the "female of the species", but ALL those-male and female-who are led by senses as described by Eve in Gen.3. The word "captivate" means easily deceived. They readily listen to that which appeals to the emotions; "How can a loving God do such and such?" "That scripture must not mean that; it must mean something else.", etc.

Now they have come to the place where they will only listen to those who "tickle their ears"; who teach "around" truth so as to pamper flesh. The "non offending gospel". "Must not hurt someone's emotions by offending them", for that would be committing the great sin of present day culture.
