will find root in Mary’s womb, grow in stature,
wisdom and anointing from an early age.” “Lord,”
Gabriel speaks, “so, from your Heart, even Your
Spirit, you take this seed.
This seed will become flesh with voice, and He, even your Son, will reveal Your heart my Lord.” “You have spoken truly Gabriel. I have one message to deliver.” “Yes, Lord,
what will the message be?”
This is too intense even for God, Gabriel sees,
as tears start rolling from His eyes. Now the Father
speaks, “I love mankind. Look, Gabriel, I will
establish my covenant with man, even Abram. This
Seed will be passed down for generations to come,
even unto Mary. My Spirit will water this Seed only
when the time has come, but not before the
appointed time. For indeed, He is Son of man, even
David. For the appearing of the Messiah will be in a
way and means not expected of man, for even as
Abram will await his son, so it shall be, in like
manner, my Son will come in a time when man least
expects it. Hear me now, Gabriel. Is anything too
hard for me?” “No, my Lord,” Gabriel responds.
“Lord,” Gabriel speaks, “so, this Seed will be passed
down generations even unto Mary and in due season
the Spirit will water this Seed?” “You have spoken
truly, Gabriel. The time is now! Go, Gabriel. For I
will speak to Abram in days to come.”
Abram is in the field, shepherding his flock. He
says in his heart, “Surely the gods have certainly blessed
me this year.” As he stares across all his father’s
land he hears a soft and gentle voice: "Abram." Not
sure of it’s origin, looks to the left, then to the right. The Father speaks again, “Abram.” Abram thinks in his heart: Could it be that the gods are speaking to me? Finally, God says: “Take yourself and all you own and go to a land I will show you.
I have given this land to you, Abram. It
will stand as a testament to all men. I am The One
True God. Before the beginning, I AM.” Abram
takes hold of his staff and runs to Sarai. “Sarai, the
One True God has spoken to me that I am to take all
I own to a land that He will show unto me.” Sarai
thinks to herself: who is this One True God?
“Abram, look at all your own. You are of age, is it likely that the gods have sent you this word, that you are to leave everything and go to a country not known to us?
Could it be that this God expects us to abandon everything and by His Word go to another land?” “Sarai, this is the Word of the Lord, we must obey.
Later that evening, as his servants gather around the
fire, a discussion rises amongst them. “Could it be
true, that Abram heard the Voice of God, a God no
eye has seen? We have had all these idols all these
years; now we are to follow the God of Abram.” An
old man who knows his master, silences the debate.
“You will remain faithful to your master.
I know Abram. He has lived purely and is just in all his
ways. If God has spoken to him, then this is what we
will do. Have we not prospered in the house of
Abram all these years? Therefore, let there not be a
quarrel amongst yourselves. Tomorrow we will
depart.”
CHAPTER 10
It is the next day. Abram, his wife Sarai and his
brother Lot with all their possessions, take course to
the land of Canaan. This place has much water and
the pastures are green and good for cattle. As Abram
waters his livestock he hears the same voice as
before. “Abram, I have given this land to you and
your lineage. I will make of you a great nation, I will
bless them that bless you, and curse them that curse
you. In you Abram, all the families of the earth shall
be blessed. Abram, look to the north, east, south and
west. As far as your eye can see I have given unto
you. I will make of you a great nation; out of your
loins kings shall surely come. Count the grains of sand
in the earth, Abram, for I tell you, in such number
will your Seed be.”
“Lord, how can this be since you have not given
me any Seed?” “Do not fear, Abram, for I am your
shield and exceedingly great reward. Abram, look at
the stars; count them. In such number will your Seed
be.” “Lord, how can this be since I am of an old age,
even Sarai is barren, how can she bear a child in her
old age?” “Abram, is anything too difficult for me?
Take faith in these words. Indeed, I will give you a
seed. Every nation will bow at His feet, and confess
that He is Lord, the Son of Promise.” Abram speaks,
“Lord, I believe.” “You are my faithful servant,
Abram. Through you I will establish my covenant,
therefore, live purely and be blameless. From now
on, you will be called Abraham, for I will make you
the father of many nations. No longer will your wife
be known as Sarai, but you shall call her Sarah, and
she will be the mother of many nations. From your
loins and the womb of Sarah will be born a child. I
will bless Him and His Seed after him.”
CHAPTER 11
Once again there is a gathering in the heavens.
God calls for Michael. “Yes, my Lord, I am at your
service.” “Michael, behold, I have sealed my
covenant with Abraham and Sarah. Remember in
the beginning I gave you Word that you are to
guard Adam and Eve. Now I tell you, you will guard
Abraham, his wife and their whole house.”
“Michael, remember that Adam was the father
of all the earth, and Eve the mother. Now, this title
and position has been handed over to Abraham and
Sarah, for I have assuredly blessed them. For in
Abraham all the families of the earth shall be
blessed. Abraham believed and it was accounted to
him for righteousness. So it is. I am the rewarder of
the righteous. If one’s honour is for oneself, then
this is not true. If one's honour is for another, then
this is true and acceptable. Hear me now, Michael,
no greater honour exists than giving one's life for
another. For I tell you. The Son cannot receive
honour of Himself, but the Son honours the Father
and the Spirit the Son. Therefore, when honour is
received from another, this is not to be refused. My
Son receives honour, because it is given to Him. For
this cause he will enter the world, to lay down his
life, since this sacrifice is acceptable and pleasing to
the Father. The Son shall be born from the Seed of Abraham. This is the One I will bless. For I tell you, even Abraham saw His day and was glad. He will be named Emmanuel, for indeed, God will be with them.”
Without Michael’ sknowing, God has just revealed a significant insight into the revelation and manifestation of the Seed.
“Michael, sin entered the world through one named
Adam. And so the seed and offspring of Adam
results in death. As sin entered the world thou
gh a
seed, so sin will be removed by One, the Seed. The
life is in the blood Michael. Without the life of the
blood, this world cannot be saved. There is no
greater love than this: giving up one's life for
another.
The blood speaks for itself, it requires no
interpretation, for by itself it makes a proclamation
and cries out the ultimate gift of love. For all men
have sinned and fallen short of my good will and
intent. Sin is real, Michael, and will follow its
course to the end, even death. This is the blood, a
life-giving force beyond human understanding.
Men will die having not received the life it gives. For His
blood cures every disease, vindicates the lost. As the
great physician, He enters a dying world. Only this
blood has the power to restore, to heal, to cleanse, to
deliver, to restore sight, to make whole, the power to
cure the sin-infected soul. This is the life-giving
blood. This blood cries out. It sums up the totality of
the deepness of my love for mankind. Love,
Michael, is not love without sufficient tangible
proof. Something as complicated as love cannot be
contained in the recesses of the heart. It will break
free, move to new frontiers, find the destitute, find
the cast out and rejected. It will elevate, produce
compassion, set free.”
Michael responds, “Lord, how is this possible
that love is not love without tangibility?” “Michael,
for I so love the world, that I will send my Son to
die, that whosoever believe in Him will not perish
but have everlasting life.” “I see, Lord, even though
you love mankind in his sinful state, you will send
your Son to lay down his life, and even though they
were sinners, yet your Son loved them to the point that
He would lay down his life of His own accord. This
is proof sufficient? Truly you have spoken, Michael.
So it is, as He lays down his life, he has the power to
raise it up again.”
CHAPTER 12
Not long after God visited the house of
Abraham, Sarah conceived a child and they named
him Isaac. While Abraham stands in his field, he
hears the voice of the Lord again: “Abraham.” “Yes,
my Lord, here I am,” Abraham responds. “Take
your son Isaac, whom I have given you, to Mount
Moria, where I want you to offer a sacrifice to me;
your son Isaac.” “Lord, even in this will I obey, for
you are faithful and your Word is true, that even
should I sacrifice my son, you, my Lord, have the
power to raise him up again. So be it. According to
your Word, my Lord, your faithful servant
believes.”
The next morning Abraham awakes Isaac. “Be
prepared, my son, for today we will honour God. Let
us depart for Moria, for there we will offer a
sacrifice to the Lord our God.” “Yes, Father.” Isaac responds.
In the third day of the journey, Isaac prompts
his father. “Father, look, we have all we need to
offer this sacrifice. How is it then that there is no
lamb?” Abraham puts his right hand on Isaac, his
only begotten son. “Do not fear, my son.”
As he says this Abraham points into the distance to
mount Moria, “God will provide a lamb.”
As Abraham and Isaac arrive at the top of the
mount, they begin to construct an altar. As they lay
one stone on top of another, Abraham sits down
with Isaac. “Isaac, my son, I have received this
Word from the Lord, that He requires a sacrifice, even the dearest possession I own, you my son.” Isaac just
remains silent; he does not say a word. He prostrates
himself on the altar and awaits the offering. As
Abraham lifts his knife, the angel of the Lord takes
hold of his arm. “Abraham, even now you remain
faithful, that you would not refrain from even this,
that you are willing to offer your only son's life.
Look to the thicket of thorny bush. What do you see,
Abraham?” “I see a ram, Lord.” “So it is.”
At this, Abraham sees the heavens open. He is
swept away in an open vision. As he looks around
him, he does not see an altar anymore, but rather a
cross. As he gazes upon the ram, it takes on the form
as of the only begotten Son of God, crowned in
thorns of sin, led like a lamb to the slaughter.
Willingly He becomes one with the cross, awaiting
the fall of the hammer: the instrument of death
strikes until He is put to shame. Suddenly a hand
from heaven reaches for the cross; the cross
becomes like a seed, even an olive seed.
This Seed is then planted in the belly of the deep for three days. Then, without warning, the sun rises and the
darkness is expelled. Abraham beholds the seedling
as it grows into a young tree, with nine fruits on
seven stems; this tree's branches reach to every
corner of the earth; and every bird under the sun
finds shelter in its branches.
CHAPTER 13
It has been decades, even fifty since man was born from the seed of Abraham.
With a few words the Father summons all in the
heavenly realms to gather in Abraham’s bosom, for
now, the Word will address His creation. That which
is to unfold will be one of the most profound
sermons ever preached. The Son Himself will now
speak. The crowd is in a state of ecstatic praise.
Angels soar about, giving praise unto God;
everything that has breath is praising God. The
Seraphim, the Cherubim, Gabriel the great messenger and The Arch Angel Michael. The crowd sings in unison as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit appears before them. Now the Father speaks. As the Father points
to the Son, He cries out, “Behold, the Lamb that
takes away the sins of the World. He, My only
begotten, will be buried for three days and rise as a
soft tender seedling, nations will bow at His feet,
yes, every knee shall bow and confess that He, my
Son is Lord. The atmosphere is building and
building, angels are flapping their wings in a state of
absolute exultation and worship. Even, yes, the sons
and daughters of men are altered in a state of
absolute delirium.
With this, the Father takes the Son’s hand and
presents Him to the crowd. With every step that the
Son takes, praise rises and rises; the atmosphere is
electric. The Son builds His hand a fist, and
with every step He gives, He shouts out: “We are
going to save your sons, your daughters, your family
and loved ones. The Son holds out his palms.
Behold, these hands will bear the mark of love, and
from my side will flow mercy. Then it will be finished,
and we will be united in heaven forever.”
CHAPTER 14
The sermon continues… surprisingly, the Son
takes a seated position a
mongst the crowd. Without
word or command, the sons and daughters of men
bows before the King, for a moment unknown to
others, the Holy Spirit senses the Father’s joy.
With this the Word continues: “If you men,
being evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much the more will your Heavenly Father
give you the Holy Spirit if you ask Him. For I will
not leave anyone comfortless or in distress. For there
was a man bound to go on a long journey. Along the
way, waves beat against the ship,
tossing it to and fro. As some of you would say: “ Shall I steer north, east, south or west.” But this man was wise and steered towards the brightness of the Son; and see,
this man reached his destination. For others, you are
already shipwrecked. Floating about, hoping that by
some miracle God will save you from your distress.
Look at the mighty winds of the sea, do not even
they drive a strong mast to its destination, but I say
unto you, a ship off course by a few metres will
surely not reach its destination. You are the seed of
your father Abraham. You should know, little ones,
that as he was to offer his son's life, the Father sent
Word and he was delivered. For Abraham was
faithful in so doing and I have promised to make his
lineage a formidable and mighty people.”
