Documentation of John in the epistle of John reveals an encounter
which Jesus Christ had with a Samarian woman by a well. It goes
down as one of the most referenced scriptures in the Bible, because
it is rich with revelation knowledge of the truth.
After a long journey through the night, Jesus paused to rest by this
famous well in the Samarian city of Sychar. This famous well was dug
in the days of Jacob many hundreds years earlier on, yet it still
had water flowing out of it. This well had helped quench the thirst
of multitudes, not just the thirst of men but also cattle and
livestock. We know of wells that dry up within a matter of a few
years but this particular well was different. Obviously what made
the difference is the fact that, that particular well tapped its
water from a relatively endless spring or a river underneath the
ground; it was from a source which was constantly replenished with
water. These are things that people at times should pause, reflect
and meditate on because God is speaking as you behold these things.
Jesus triggered the famous conversation with the woman by asking her
for a cup of water from the well, so that he could drink. The Woman
was surprised at the fact that a Jew will descend so low to ask a
drink from a Samarian whom the Hebrews considered inferior and
unclean. Unknown to the woman she was having an encounter with the
one true Jew, one whose origin is from the Jerusalem above. Jesus
told the Lady of a particular gift of God unto all men; He told her,
only if she knew of this priceless gift. Jesus likened the gift to
water that will spring up as a well of water into eternal life which
will eternally quench the thirst in men. We have to listen carefully
and try to comprehend what this gift is all about, because for this
reason the son of God been revealed to the world.
On hearing of this gift the Samarian woman asked Jesus for this
water of life, but the response of Jesus sounded quite out of place but
He had a motive for this response. In response to the woman’s
request for this water springing up unto eternal life, Jesus asked the woman to
get her Husband, and together they should come and meet Him so that
he could give her this gift that springs up to eternal life. The
woman had been married FIVE TIMES and divorced and the SIXTH man she
was living with at that moment was not her Husband. Jesus knew fully
well that she had no husband, and in reality she had an adulterous
relation according to the Hebrew interpretation at that point in
time because she was joined to one who was not her husband. Knowing
fully well that His message will travel round the world and will be read by
innumerable generations to come, Jesus was using this occasion as
ordained by the Father to communicate to those who have ears to hear
what the spirit of truth is saying in this hour. There is no way the
Samarian woman could have understood the message that Jesus was
trying to transmit. She acknowledged Him as a prophet simply because
He was able to tell her about her secret life.
Jesus seized this opportunity to demonstrate to true seekers of His
glory that to receive of that water unto eternal life, they have to
present themselves before the Lord along with their true husband.
That Samarian woman today is a shadow of the Church of the living
God, who has been united in marriage with the lie before now. As
long as she (the Church) remains joined to the one who is not her
true husband, there is no way they can ever partake of that fountain
welling up into eternal life. I tell you a mystery unknown to many,
Christ is the seventh, true and last Husband which the woman
representing the Church will have. It is when she unites back in one
with Christ who is her true husband that she can once more see the
streams springing up unto eternal life. Note that the meeting with
Jesus took place during the sixth hour entering into the seventh
hour which corresponds spiritually to the sixth day and the
seventh day in which God created man and eventually rested. We
are about to find out, that man created in the beginning on the
sixth day is a product of marriage between Christ and the Church. We
discover also that the seventh day will come only after the sixth
day, meaning that the perfect day and rest of God is made manifest
only after the emergence of man in the image of the living God.
Like I normally do, I will make a reference to the Garden of Eden,
because it is very rich with truth about our origin and the end of
the faith. Many people are unaware of the fact that even Jesus made
many references to the creation account Genesis 1 and the account on
the Garden of Eden. He had read these scriptures along the years and
knew what they were talking about as He went about demonstrating the
mystery of godliness to men. The creation account in Genesis reveals
the many sided manifold wisdom of God; as you view it with the eyes
of the spirit you get to realize that there are many lessons to
learn from it, and it can never be of any one private
interpretation. Today we will view it in a slightly different way.
THE MARRIAGE THAT PRODUCED MAN IN THE BEGINNING
If we remember, God created man in His image and in His likeness,
He created them male and female. Unknown to many, that is the
true eternal marriage ordained of God from the beginning; It is the marriage
that God put together in the beginning. The marriages we see in this
temporal material world are shadows of that true original marriage
from the beginning.
Genesis 1:26-28
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl
of the air,
and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God
created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over
every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
The fruit or the seed of that marriage is the man created in the
image and likeness of God; this is the one flesh (or one body) that
the bible refers to.
This is the great mystery Paul was talking about.
Ephesians 5:30-33 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and
of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and
mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one
flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ
and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular
so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she
reverence her husband.
Without the male that man (The Christ) in the image and likeness of
God does not exist and without the female that man (The Christ) does
not exist, in other words the male without the female is incomplete
and vice versa. They must coexist together for the mystery of God to
be made manifest.
1Corinthians 11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the
woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. 1Co 11:12
For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man
also by the woman; but all things of God.
Paul called this a mystery; It is a mystery simply because in man's descent into mortality,
He lost all conscious knowledge of this truth. It goes beyond the normal
comprehension arising from the human intellectual faculty, which is
why the wise of this age never get to understand this mystery and
indeed other mysteries that relate to God’s kingdom. I shared on
this marriage from the beginning in a church gathering some time
back and the people were filled with rage because they felt I was
speaking out of context; they actually gathered to hear a summon on
their earthly marriages. I told them to make a search and see if
there is any place where Jesus talked about earthly marriages. It is only to be expected that what I was
preaching on the marriage from the beginning sounded like
foolishness and thrash in their sight because the things that
pertain to God’s eternal invisible kingdom are foolishness and
madness to the carnally minded man whose mind is fixed on the things
that pertain to men and their false, temporary and imaginary world.
1Corithians 2:12-14 Now we have received, not the spirit of the
world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things
that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak,
not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy
Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But
the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for
they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.
Yes the spirit of God is given to us to understand the things that
relate to God. As the voice of truth goes forth, bear in mind that
there is nothing hidden from our sight in the fall that will not be
revealed; as the great prince (Christ) stands in the midst of His
people to deliver them from the jaws of death, all lies that have
darkened the understanding of men will be dispersed. As the truth
flows forth, the kingdoms of men founded on falsehood will dissolve
into that original model that is from the beginning.
Going back to that marriage in the beginning, the male aspect
represents the spirit of Christ, while the female aspect represents
the souls/spirits of just men or the universal gathering called the
church. So what we see in the beginning when man was created in the
image and in the likeness of God is a union of the spirit (Christ)
and the church. This union brings about the body of Christ or that
man that is from the beginning. That man created in the beginning
contains an innumerable number of spirits of just men fused together
in one; it is a spiritual body with many members.
THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LIVING GOD, OUR COVER
That union in the beginning is the union blessed of God throughout
all eternity; the seed of this union rules over all and has all
things freely given to Him by the Father for His enjoyment. Adam in
the Garden of Eden before the fall is a parable or allegory showing
the prosperous state and glory of the man created in the beginning
who is in the image and likeness of God. The Garden of Eden or the
paradise of God as it is called is the place of life to the
fullness.
In this place a river sprang out and went out to water the garden
and flowed out also to the four corners of the earth. The four
corners of the earth refer to every major compartment of our being;
it could be seen as the mind, will, desire and the heart. That water
actually flowed as an endless font from a well in heart or depths of
God. As that water flowed, it brought forth a conscious knowledge of
the Father and the son. As long as these major compartments of man
are influenced by that flow from the depths in God we are kept in
perfect peace, joy and satisfaction. The water of life that
gushes forth is knowledge of the true and living God so that those
who live in the blessings of God are saturated in the knowledge of
His presence and His love. This is the true eternal life that
Christ came to reveal; that we should know the true God and the
Christ and our part in this union (John 17:3). When we know
Him and are so encompassed in His knowledge that we seize to exist
as an entity apart and away from Him.
The envelopment in the knowledge of the knowledge and love of God is
the one thing that can keep us in perfect peace because in that
covering we know all things are working for our good; we know that
nothing can separate us from the love of Christ so that death seizes
o exist. The cover in the knowledge of God comes as the infinite
flow of His knowledge typified by the river springing out of Eden
encompasses us. In this knowledge then we witness the spiritual
signs mention in Isaiah 11 and in Habakkuk 2.
Isaiah 11:6-9 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the
leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion
and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. 7 And
the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down
together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 And the
sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned
child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the
earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters
cover the sea.
Habakkuk 2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of
the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
The wolf dwelling with the lamb, the leopard lying down with the
kid, the lion eating straw like an ox etc. all point to the state of
those who found themselves back in God’s paradise on mount Zion.
This signs occurs within each and everyone as we are totally
encompassed with the knowledge of the Lord, flowing from the depth
of God by His spirit within us. In His knowledge, every aspect of
our being become completely harmonized in one with God, so that all
duality within seizes; all double mindedness and sense of separation
and enmity with God seizes because we see Him as He is and are
completely enveloped into one with Him. If we have this flow and
covering of His knowledge this is what will sustain us throughout
all eternity. The worries and fears for tomorrow and survival seizes
because we are in Him, emotional torments and desires that run wild
seize and boldness is at it fullness so that we command things into
being. That wild beastly tendency to fight for survival like is seen
in the animal world seizes because man goes to rest in the glory of
God.
The knowledge of the Lord covering the whole earth is a sign that
happens within us, not an event that happens outwardly like some end
time preachers and religious sects preach. There is no such thing as
this physical material world getting to the place where it can
experience that peace mention is Isaiah 11. That sign is a spiritual
signs that is fulfilled only as we ascend up in our consciousness
into the pinnacle of creation upon Mount Zion. As long as men remain
on the earth, living a life after a consciousness that is earth
bound, they can never experience that sign of perfect knowledge and
peace of God. So let us stop looking outwardly expecting some form
of change in this world system when wars, famines, droughts etc will
seize, but let us look into the invisible realm of God’s presence
and ascend into it. Jesus confirms that His peace he gives to us is
not the same type of peace that this world offers [John 14:27].
THE LOSS OF THE COVERING
Adam as we know lost that covering of God consciousness and a sense
of nakedness was unfolded before His eyes. Now we must understand
that this was when Adam began to hear the voice of God from without,
before then it was all a sweet flow of the knowledge of God gushing
from within Him and encompassing Him so that He never existed as a
separate entity from God. As a result of the fall from grace, that
eternal well in the midst of the garden of Eden from which flows
water springing up into eternal life was blocked and hidden from the
site of man so that man lost a knowledge of the true God and He also
lost His inheritance in light. The sense of lack, poverty
consciousness, thirst etc has become man’s portion because He finds
Himself in a wilderness situation. As long as the water from that
well within seizes to flow everything withers up and the garden like
state of the soul of men is converted into a desert place where
there is no life or mirth.
Now if you look closely, the thing that happened in Eden was a
putting asunder of that marriage that God joined together in the
beginning; this is the cause of the curse today. The blessing which
man was generated into in the beginning, as typified in the Garden
of Eden, is simply as a result of the union that God instituted in
the beginning. All that blessing is lost as the union between the
man and woman is put asunder.
Mark 10:6-9 But from the beginning of the creation God made them
male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and
mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one
flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put
asunder.
Now we are talking about that true spiritual marriage that was from
the beginning between the Christ (the spirit) and the Church (The
souls of men). The woman was never supposed to function outside of
the man. She was appointed to sit in silence not talking; she is
not to usurp the authority of the man. Paul confirms this in a
letter to Timothy his spiritual son.
1Timothy 2:11-15 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 but I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over
the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then
Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was
in the transgression. 15 notwithstanding she shall be saved in
childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness
with sobriety.
Before we go on let me use this occasion to cancel some of the lies
that the Devil has propagated through these letters of Paul. The
devil working through men and religious organizations have used
these letters to Timothy to keep brethren in female vessels in
bondage so that they do not contribute their quota to the
edification of the Church. Some churches and sects forbid women to
preach or flow as the spirit leads them, but they fail to remember
that this same Paul that wrote the letters to Timothy also added
elsewhere that there is neither male nor female in Christ, He also
said we do not move by sight but according to the truth. The letters
of Paul to Timothy were generally spiritual letters which Timothy
was able to comprehend being skilled in the heavenly spiritual
language, in other words Paul wrote some of those letters using
allegories.
What Paul is saying in the letters to Timothy is that we should not
speak from ourselves (our human knowledge) but only from the Christ
within us. We should be subject to the spiritual mate which is the
Christ. We should always have His covering in all things that we do
otherwise we bring shame exactly the way Eve did in the Garden of
Eden. The woman violated this principal by acting by herself outside
of Adam; she was the one who went outside and got tempted into
eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and Evil and gave to her
husband. Read the passage in Genesis 3:9 carefully.
Genesis 3:6 And when
the woman saw
that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the
eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise,
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat;
and
she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
It was the woman who was deceived not the man like Paul adds in "I
Timothy 2:14". She was deceived sinned by joined herself to the
serpent and therefore violated that marriage bond with Adam. You can
look at the serpent in the garden from different dimensions, in this case
we will refer to it as the spirit of carnal mortal man (the flesh) which
is the spirit of this world. This is the spirit that works in the
children of disobedience today; it works according to the carnal
senses and does not know God. Eve got joined in marriage to the
spirit of this world. Somebody might say but Adam took of the fruit
too, yes He took of it only out of love for her so that He is with
her always sharing in her suffering but he was never deceived
because he is the truth (The Christ within) and he can not lie
against Himself.
This union with the spirit of the world is the thing which makes men
walk in a false identity according to the flesh. This means that the
soul which is supposed to be one body with the spirit is now one
flesh with the spirit of mortal man to bring forth the flesh and
blood identity we bear in this material world. It is the adulterous
union that has caused man in the fall, to sin against His own true
body which is the body of Christ from the beginning.
1Corinthians 6:15.-18 Know ye not that your bodies are the members
of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them
the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he
which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall
be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the
body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own
body.
In reality that union or fellowship of darkness in the flesh is the
false husband which we have to divorce ourselves from on this sixth
hour or sixth day. We have to cut of from that union and be reunited
once more with our true soul mate and husband who is the Christ
within; the moment has come when we all have to release ourselves
from that consciousness that ties us with this material world
through the man of the flesh and be consciously fused back to the
true one. It is only as we are fused back into one with the spirit
that we can once again feel the gushing current of the knowledge of
the living God flowing from within us.
So Christ met the Samaritan woman during the sixth hour and
tells her to come with her true Husband so that the same creation of
the man as seen on the sixth day is fulfilled once more. It
is only then, that fruitfulness and dominion can be restored, it is
only then we can become aware of the unlimited spiritual blessing we
have in Christ. It is only then that we can drink of that water of
life and never suffer thirst again, because he crowns us with
everlasting joy and immortality.
In
1 Timothy 2:15 Paul mentions that the woman who was deceived
and transgressed against the Lord, shall be saved in child bearing
as she continues in faith and charity and holiness and sobriety.
Definitely Paul was not saying that women should go on having
children after the flesh in order to get saved. He was simply saying
that she is saved as she continues in the faith by uniting herself
back to the spirit of Christ so that she brings forth anew after the
likeness of God. It is in the generation of the seed of Christ that
the salvation and blessings of God becomes ours. If we are joined to
the spirit of Christ it means we patiently learn to submit every
aspect of our lives to Him. It also means we see things the way He
sees things, we talk or prophesy only through him. It means we are
spiritually sober in Him not being carried away with the wine of the
spirit of carnality but always filled with the spirit.
Ephesians 5:22-24 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands,
as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even
as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the
body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let
the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Then we begin to taste once more of those everlasting streams and
the desert like situation is converted back into a garden of God
where songs of salvation and joy will be heard. The well within us
is opened up and the rivers of life within flows once more. The
unhindered current flowing of the depths of God within us begins to
gush once more so that we become encompassed by His knowledge. In
that day we discover ourselves in Him, the one and only true God and
eternal life.
Now is the hour to unite with the Lord and receive of that drink
that heals every aspect our lives and causes us to abide in His
wonderful presence now and forevermore. As Jesus spoke to the
Samarian woman, it was actually the voice of the Alpha and Omega the
one who is from age to age inviting His people back into union with
Him
Revelations
21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the
fountain of the water of life freely.
Be blessed
