4. I Am Conceived by a Living Word

Peter begins and ends this chapter with our being conceived of God. Everything in-between, the Fire, the agony, the Love, the Unveiling, and most of all this wondrous Grace carrying us, is sandwiched into the first and final reality that we are birthed out from God.

Yet all of this in-between is entirely Completion, the finalizing of God’s work inside of our lives. For this reason, we do not connect our present view of our genetic origins with our first experience of being born again, but with this mighty Completion as God’s Ark going forth.

The Layout of Our Page. I want to give the layout of our JS2 page first, because I have a whole lot inside I must say before we actually write any of the boxes. Then, we will write those quickly with little in-between. I will include the statements of faith before my “rant” so that we will know the larger meaning of this page.

The first box, then, is “Ask and Believe,” for we must respond to God. The largest box, half the page, will be “A Living Word,” inside of which will be five sub-headings, “Word,” “Living,” “Energeoing,” “Imperishable,” and “Abiding,” The final box will be “Conceived of God and Jerusalem.” Inside of “Jerusalem” will be found the line from Peter which I quote more frequently than any other, “Loving one another with pure hearts fervently.”

Statements of Faith. I have purified my soul. In all the words of my self-story, I know only Christ. I live under the hearing of the truth. I love my brothers and sisters with a pure heart fervently even as they love me in return. I am conceived from above. I am conceived out from an imperishable Seed. I am conceived through the living and abiding Word of God. I love my brothers and sisters with a pure heart fervently even as they love me the same. The speaking of the Lord in my mouth abides and continues into the age. I love my brothers and sisters with a pure heart fervently even as they love me in return.

Human Power. In my daily reading of news, I came across mention of a speaker, a man from whom great power came upon his hearers, causing a complete transformation of their lives. Yet there was nothing Christian about this man.

There is such a thing as great human power emanating from an individual. There are not many such humans, one in a million, maybe, who come even close. That strength of person is entirely a human quality, although, once in awhile, God can anoint such flesh for His purposes. The strength of person and the Spirit anointing upon are two separate things. In my own studies, for instance, Horatio Nelson was such a person whom, having met once, impacts the entire rest of one’s life. Paul was the same.

Two Very Different Things. Most humans have never been impacted by a personal encounter with that kind of a human form. I was, for that is a description of Sam Fife. Most who heard Sam Fife did not know the difference between the Anointing of the Spirit that truly was upon him and the great strength of power emanating from his own human persona. Those were two very different things. God anoints humans as they are, as God has made each one.

When considering such impactive human power, go to the far other side of that spectrum and you will find me, incapable of convincing anyone of anything by my human persona. Yet God made me as I am, and in designing me, He gave me a very particular gift and He has anointed that gift mightily.

The Words of My Bible. I want to MAGNIFY the Word. That is my gift, that is my job, that is what I have given myself to the Father to do.

Let me explain. My personal encounter with Sam Fife was from September of 1977 to February of 1979, a year-and-a-half. I sat under his preaching, praying, and prophesying in five conventions, and I saw him close-up for two weeks at Citra, speaking personally with him maybe four or five times. Before that time, God had spoken to me “My son,” entering into the agreement with me to bring His Word to me that I might believe that He is speaking the Truth. More than that, I received nothing through Sam Fife that I did not prove out from the words on the pages of my Bible, regardless.

Not Grounded in Bible Words. God used the power of Sam Fife’s person joined with the power of Spirit Anointing to speak directly into me out from the heavens, that I might know the power of His Word, yet ONLY that which I found clearly written in my Bible.

I cannot know the doings of God inside the heart of any other, yet I have observed this, that many who were part of that fellowship were not grounded in Bible words as I must be. I have seen some rid themselves of anything Sam Fife preached, even if it was God as written in their Bibles, and I have seen some who are influenced by whatever anointed leaders they find, regardless of what God actually says. I do not judge, but I cannot go with them. I will know God out from what He actually says; I can trust no other to save me.

First, the Bible. What do I mean when I say “the Word.” First, I mean the Bible. Notice the period. Other than the JSV, I prefer either the New King James or the Message translations. Yet God planted so much True Word in me out from the King James. Regardless of translation, it’s still God’s Word. I love having done the JSV because it has made me to be intimate with every particular thing God actually says. For instance, I imagined until just now that Peter said, “Sperma,” that is, human seed, as Paul and James did. But now I see that he said, “An imperishable spora,” that is, plant seed, as Luke did. Both Greek words impart their full meaning to us.

Yet if I say, “the Bible,” then I must, of necessity, receive everything the Bible says about the Bible and about Word.

The Bible Says. The Bible says that the Bible can kill you. The Bible says that the Bible cannot give you life. I take the Bible seriously.

Just briefly, then, the Bible says that Word is Jesus, my personal Savior. The Bible says that the Spirit gives life, that the words that are Jesus are Spirit and they are Life. The Bible says that Jesus as Word is written all through the pathways of my heart, that Jesus is every Word God speaks. The Bible says that the Pro-thesis of God is God’s thoughts concerning all created things spoken from the beginning as the Lord Jesus, sustaining all by Word. And the Bible says that I am conceived out from God my Father by every Gospel Word. I believe what the Bible says. I cannot comprehend anyone not taking God-Word seriously.

My Point Is This. You <–> Word <–> God. God <–> Word <–> You. Forehead to forehead. Eyeball to eyeball. Nothing and no one else. No human persona, strong or weak, is found in that equation.

God made my human persona not just weak, but eminently discountable. Yet He anoints with Spirit Anointing my knowing of His Word. The Spirit leads me into all Truth.

The issue for every individual person MUST BE the Word. Who do you say that I am? What do you do with My Word? – I have magnified My Word above ALL My name. Even God removes every part of His Divine POWER Persona (His name) from the equation and makes it ALL ABOUT Word.

Just the Word. Many assume that an incredible and True outpouring of Spirit anointing upon an individual already possessing a human persona of greatness means that God has sent them. That is not wrong. The problem is that such a one is well able to lead 10,000 people into confusion and eventually a dead-end canyon because he does not have a pure understanding of the Gospel.

God removes His own powerful Persona. Jesus said, “I judge no one, it’s just the Word I speak that judges all.” What do you do with Word, Spirit Gospel word, all by itself. Do you believe it, and declare it True concerning yourself against all? Or do you believe something, anything, else?

The one who believes against all is conceived of God.

Our Entire Genetic Origin. Again, Peter is taking all the big stuff, the Fire, the agony, the faith, the Love, the Carrying Grace, and even the UNVEILING of the present hour, and placing it all inside the definitive bracket of you and me being conceived of God. God-Word is the male side of our entire genetic origin.

And here’s the thing. That Church out there, looking like a harlot, that Church which we now see through eyes of Fire, enclothing her with the white-hot Fire of the Devotion of Jesus, that Church is our Jerusalem, the mother of us all. That Church is the female side of our entire genetic origin. And right now, we kick the chairs back, we leap to our feet, and we dance arm in arm in joyous CELEBRATION!

Conceived of God. I have delivered to you what God has entrusted to me, that your LIFE might be WORD, untainted by any strength of human or God persona. To complete that trust, I am giving you The Jesus Secret II: Being Made Like Jesus – inside of Fire.

Now we can talk about our genetic origins as we must know ourselves inside of the present Apocalypse. We are conceived of God, by an Imperishable Seed, the Living and Abiding Word of God. – The Word is Living and Energeoing, piercing through and splitting apart. – The Words that I speak into you are Spirit, and they are Life. Yet Peter begins his opening to us of our Salvation with these words. God… has conceived us again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ out from the dead.

A Personal Quality. “Resurrection out from the dead” means the One who carries you and me inside Himself all the way into Life. And “a living hope” means, according to John 3:3, that we become just like Him as we see Him as He is, “And we also.” This is the personal quality of our conception. But what do we mean by “conception” when speaking of God and Word?

God Himself is a Story of Words inside of a Spirit Self-Awareness. We are made like God in the same way. Yet that initial “likeness” is created only, not procreated. “Conceived again” means procreated, not created. Here’s the thing. God cannot be static or momentary. God is all here now, continuous. God is dynamic action inside perfect rest and perfect rest inside dynamic action.

Word Is Genetics. When we were conceived in our mother’s womb, that was a one-time happening, as in something now created. To be pro-created, conceived a second time, means to exist moment by moment in a dynamic and energeoing connection with God through PERSONAL Word, the Lord Jesus, as every Word God speaks.

Word is the essence of God; word is the essence of our humanity. Jesus, the One connecting, must be Personal to both in order for that connection to be God-Life. Word is genetics. The Gospel Word we receive is alive; it is the genetic material constituting God our Father. It’s entrance into us, made personal as us by the connection of a personal Jesus, then becomes God-Life inside of us, Symmorphy.

Christ in Our Hearts. Without a Personal Jesus in our hearts, written there as every Word God speaks, then the words of the Bible remain nothing more than ideas of the mind. They cannot save anyone.

Peter says that Word is “living, abiding, and imperishable.” Hebrews says that Word is “living and energeoing.” One who considers the Gospel Words found on the pages of their Bibles and calls them, “just words” as ideas from which to form theologies, cannot see Jesus or the Salvation of God. We see them as Jesus Himself, bringing the very fabric of God our Father into us and forming us by that fabric, living, energeoing, and continuous. “Christ lives inside of your heart through faith,” then, is what makes our procreation completely different from creation.

God Made Personal. But that is only one-half of our genetic origin. God is our Father, literally and continuously, but a very human Church is our mother, the Jerusalem from above. This is the meaning of Symmorphy. We would be useless to God if we were not humans, made entirely of both sides of creation, spirit and physic, heaven and earth.

God Himself in Person is able to pass through our procreated genetic origin, every Living Gospel Word which He speaks as Christ Jesus, into our human genetic origin, mixing His genes with ours, and thus through us into creation. This is the ONLY way Love can be known by any created thing. For Love is only God made Personal, God manifest in the flesh.

Our Human Story. God means us to be humans, in everything humans are. And He means there to be a direct and living connection between His divinity and our humanity through Jesus. Yet when we see “our humanity” as an essential part of our new genetic origin, we are still talking about word, our own story of words inside our own spirit self-awareness.

Our human story of words is made of three different things. I suspect all three are equal in importance to that humanity mixed with Word to become a son birthed out from God. The first is our own human personality, who and what we are, our likes and dislikes, abilities and inabilities, but with ALL pretending gone. The second is the impact of other people on us, and the third is our responses to other people.

Into Wondrous Harmony. Put those three aspects of our story together AND with other believers, and you have the Church, many together as one. The Bible is a very human book, with each writer distinct from all others in style, personality, and viewpoint, yet woven together by one Spirit shared by all. This is Symmorphy, God sharing form with us.

Thus every expression of the River of Life flowing into all creation forever contains our own personalities symmorphosed with Christ Jesus, Spirit and Word together, and Word and Spirit together symmorphosed with our humanity, personally and corporately. And it is Personal Living Spirit Word that brings it all into wondrous harmony.

Ask and Believe. Lord Jesus, You say that I am conceived of imperishable Word, the living and abiding Word of God, which is You, written all through My heart. You say that God is my Father, and that I live out from every Word He speaks, that God’s Words, His Sperm, His genetic Source, mix with Your faith inside all my human soul to become the new son of God that I am. Lord Jesus, this is beyond my ability to comprehend, yet I believe You with all my heart and without reservation. Jesus, You are telling me the Truth. I believe into You.

Defining Word. Our next task is to define Word as God means it, Word that enters us to make us sons of the Living God, in completion and in one paragraph. Our final result must be inadequate.
Word, Gospel Word, is (1) the genetic makeup of God Himself in His entire Being, (2) God’s thoughts concerning each one of us forever, (3) spoken as the Person of the Lord Jesus through whom all things become, (4) the words sitting silently on the pages of our Bibles. Word is (5) Spirit and Life, (6) the Sperm of God entering us to procreate us as sons, (7) Jesus in Person alive inside our hearts, (8) Jesus as every Word God speaks written all through our hearts of flesh. And Word is (9) the Life of God our Father mixed with our human story and personality to become us as we are right now, our very souls.

Word. Word begins for me as my Bible. The Gospel Words of my Bible enter me through the Spirit to become Christ Jesus as every Word spoken by God and written upon my heart. Then, as I know such Word sent into me, so I know that God my Father is Word and that I am conceived of Him by His Word in me. Gospel Word is my genetic Source.

A Living Word. Our first adjective is that Word by which we are conceived is LIVING; it is alive. Living means movement within to sustain, both itself and us, and movement without to accomplish purpose, both of itself and out from us. The Word in our hearts lives itself, that is, sustains itself as Life. That means that sustaining us is just the obvious result of a Jesus in us already alive. This is His power-filled Word.

Yet that power-filled Word, a Living Word, also carries us. That means that Jesus Himself acts with purpose, accomplishing the Father’s business, and thus His action becomes our every next step. It is because we are conceived of God by a Living Word that we can then say that Jesus lives as us.

An Energeoing Word. Next, the Word by which we are conceived is Energeoing. “Energeoing” is an expansion of “Living.” It includes the meaning that a Living Word inside of us “works effectively.” Energeia is much more than “energy,” however. You can get energy from a battery, but not energeia. The Energeia of God is pictured to us by the Pillar of Fire touching down upon the Mercy Seat inside the Devoted of Devotions.

It is that mighty Energeia, energeoing us as seated upon Mercy, upon the Blood, then, that “works effectively.” Yet that mighty Energia, that Pillar of Fire, continues to enter us in all effectiveness as Word. Here is another way by which we say “an energeoing Word,” – God does what He speaks inside of and through us.

Living and Energeoing. Living: The Word inside me is living and personal. It is Jesus alive in my heart. This living Word always sustains my life, causing me to exist out from His good-speaking. And this living Word carries me in every next step, causing me to be about my Father’s business. Gospel Word is my Way with God.

Energeoing: This Word in me is energeoing, it works all that God means effectively inside all completion. Word is the tip point of the Pillar of Fire that is God entering through me into my world. Word is the passageway of God in my heart. God’s Word energeoes me, and by it I share all fellowship with my brethren. Word is the Truth of my life, defining my soul and my love for others.

A Pure Word. The words “imperishable” and “incorruptible” are just another way to say, unmixed, or – pure. Pure is the positive meaning, but the reason for the NOT- (im-, in-) is to exclude, even with violent determination, all word that contradicts. This is the great dilemma of the Christian life, for we have indeed received into us a mixed word. We have received Jesus by Gospel Word and we have received that which is anti-Christ through lies that sound theological.

Now, Jesus is Savior, and He carries us, but purity of Word is vital to our LIFE! This is why I write, including writing The Jesus Secret II, so that I might think only by the Words that are God Himself, given so carefully to me. The Word by which we are conceived is not-mixed, it is utterly Pure. The Word written in our hearts is Pure.

An Abiding Word. Finally, the Word by which we are conceived abides forever, Jesus at Home in our hearts, Father at Home in our hearts. To abide is to make one’s home in a certain place, first, and then to remain in that home forever.

I am an adventurous wanderer who always wants to come home. Yet “home” in this world has always vanished for me. I think Jesus has been the same. Jesus is at Home in my heart when He is utterly welcome here. The meaning of an abiding Word is hospitality. An abiding Word must become the Church. An abiding Word must become believers in Jesus loving one another with pure hearts fervently. For it is there that God our Father abides – forever.

Imperishable and Abiding. Imperishable: Gospel Word inside of me is the very Life of my Father, God-Life now given to me. This Word is utterly pure, without mixture or contradiction. These Words shaping my soul endure forever; they always prevail. Word is the vital Life that is God, filling me full with all purity.

Abiding: The Word that causes me abides in me forever. I am the dwelling place of Jesus Sent, connecting me with God my Father at Home in my heart. God makes His Home in me through His Word. God is always welcome with me even as I also welcome all who love Jesus. As we love one another with pure hearts fervently, so Gospel Word shapes our lives together as Father’s Completion.

A Pure Story of Self. Although the Word itself must be unmixed, yet it is a Pure Word that mixes utterly with our redeemed human souls, the story we tell ourselves about ourselves, the thoughts of our minds flavored by our emotions and directed by our desires.

Yet there is a purity required of our own human story of self. That is the incredible thing I have learned recently. Almost all of our self story is our real humanity, redeemed by Jesus. There is only a small portion that is false. It happens this way. First, a demon lies to us about God. Second, we believe that lie. And third, out from our false “faith,” we spin an untrue byline in our story, a tale of pretending. Lying and pretending are SO unnecessary, meaning and giving nothing. Let God remove them, with all eagerness.

The True Jerusalem. Receiving one another in the same way Jesus receives us creates God’s True Jerusalem. The fellowship we enjoy together inside such receiving is the Soul and the Life of the Mother of us all. The True Jerusalem, the City of God, our home and God’s Home forever, is believers in Jesus, loving one another with pure hearts fervently.

God has promised me to take me Home, and I have no other Home but Jerusalem, wherever she is found. I will be traveling adventurously and coming Home every day forever. And you will be coming Home to me and those with me, where you will always be welcome with joy.

The Church of Jesus Christ is our Home, our True mother.

Conceived of God and Jerusalem. God is my Father, the Source of my genetic origin, and the Church is my mother, the pure humanity among whom I dwell and the womb in which I am shaped. I have purified my story of self inside my relationships with all my Christian brethren, even as I receive them as Jesus receives me, even as we dwell together as God’s Home, the Father’s abode, loving one another with pure hearts fervently, hearts filled with Jesus as a shared and personal, living Spirit Word. As God’s Home together, we receive Seed from God, every Word that is Jesus, and we know the Father, bringing forth age-unfolding Life through every next step forever.

Our Home. Are we willing to believe such a word, even the simple words of the Gospel sitting quietly on the pages of our Bibles? Are we ready to refuse all lesser word?

Our being conceived of God and Father at Home are two sides of the same thing. As every Word God speaks becomes the pure story of our souls, so Father is welcome inside our hearts and among us as our fervent Love together. And as Father is welcome at Home in our hearts and among all our interaction together, so every Word He speaks becomes the very fabric of our souls, the fabric of all our thinking, all our emotions, and all our desires.

The Church is God’s dwelling place forever, the City we call Home.

Reading for Next Time. The next lesson is titled “Faith and My Soul.” This will also be a Jesus Secret page. Read all of 1 Peter 1 again in the JSV, but consider as you read all that has been written into the JS2 boxes for Chapter 1 thus far (JS2-1 Peter 1 ). Click on “download now.”

The Salvation of our souls has two distinct parts, two distinct time periods separated by that moment when we fully turn around, seated upon the Blood as the Mercy Seat of God. The first part is our entrance into the personal knowledge of the Salvation of God, and the second is the entrance of the Salvation of God through us into creation. The first is Jesus offering His Soul to us, and the second is the offering of our souls to God, that He might possess all that we are as His own, in every part of the drama and poignancy of our humanity.

Let’s Pray Together. “God, our Father, let Your Gospel Word be our Life, the entire fabric of our souls, that we might know You with us, at Home in our hearts. Father, let Your Gospel Word flow out from us as Rivers of Life, bringing this same knowing of You whom we love to all our brothers and sisters in every land on earth.

“Cause us to know Your Word, oh God, and cause all who believe into Jesus in this hour to know Your Word, that You might dwell among us in all Victory. Come Home, Oh Father, to Your Church, for You are welcome here with us. Be all that You speak, a God who always answers us. We thank You Father, inside of Jesus.”
