Jesus' Revelation to Amy Delphine

May 16, 2008

Although I only posted my story a little over one month ago, my little family and I have already grown by spiritual leaps and bounds. We have made the decision to pull the story until we can post a more mature and insightful one.

In the meantime, we wish you success on your spiritual journey, and would like to leave you with some insight...

Gnosticism is hard to define. It is about knowing one's Self and it is about knowing the absolute truth about Divinity.

A Gnostic friend of mine gave the very best description of the Knowers when he said this, "The ancient Gnostics could fit in anywhere, in a Christian Church, in a Pagan Temple, or burning incense to the Emperor, though some prefered the ascetic life. Why? Because they were mystics. They were beyond all petty religions and politics. They were beyond this world, it's insatiable desires, it's fears and it's hate. Because they knew, they had Knowledge. Not intellectual knowledge, 'the letter killeth but the spirit giveth life'. But a Knowledge of the Depth of the Father of Truth."

This knowledge crosses all religious "party lines". From Jacob's Ladder of the Old Testament to the letters of Revelation to the Gospels of Mary and Philip and Truth.

I recently heard a well known evangelist say that he'd still be preaching in heaven. First, I was shocked that I actually know God's Word better than he. Then I was appalled that he considered himself a teacher. God's word is clear. Not only will we not be preaching in heaven; we won't be preaching here on earth for very much longer. The bible actually says that God will teach us Himself!

Jeremiah 31:31 "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant which they broke, though I was their husband, says the Lord. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws within them and I will write them on their hearts; and I will be their God and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each man teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying 'Know the Lord,' for they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their sins and I will remember their iniquity no more."

Hebrews 8:8 *One can get very deep into this passage. Read the complete verse when you get a chance. "The days will come, says the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt; for they did not continue with my covenant, so I paid them no heed, says the Lord. This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, say the Lord; I will put my lws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach every one his fellow or every one his brother, saying 'Know the Lord', for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more."

Isaiah 59:21 "And as for me, this is my covenant with them, says the Lord: my spirit which is upon you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouth of your children, or out of the mouth of your children's children, says the Lord, from this time forth and for ever more." *How cool is this???.

And how will He teach us?

He'll lift the veil...

Isaiah 30:19-21 Yea, Oh people of Zion who dwell at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when he hears it, he will answer you. and though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself any more, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. And your ears shall hear a word behind you saying, "This is the way, walk in it," when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.

Isaiah 25:6-8 On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wine on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wine on the lees well refined. And he will destroy on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples. He will swallow up death forever and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of all his people he will take away from all the earth; for the Lord has spoken.

He'll speak with a voice...

Isaiah 48:66-8 "You have heard; now see all this; and will you not declare it? From this time forth I make you hear new things, hidden things which you have not known. They are created now, not long ago; before today you have never heard of them, lest you should say 'Behold, I knew them.' You have never heard, you have never known, from of old your ear has not been opened.

Isaiah 43:8-9 Bring forth the people who ae blind, yet have eyes, who are deaf, yet have ears! Let all natons gather together, and let the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and show us the former things? Let them bring their witnesses to justify them, and let them hear and say, It is true.

Isaah 50:4-5 Morning by morning he wakens, he wakens my ear to hear those who are taught. The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I turned not backward.

He'll give us a path...

Isaiah 35:8-10 And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Holy Way, the unclean shall not pass over it, and the fools shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; they shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there. and the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Isaiah 57:14 And it shall be said, "Build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every obstruction from my people's way."
