Programme: Anamnesis 2023 (Day 3 - Evening Session)
Date: Friday, 8th December, 2023
The activities of Jesus in His days on the earth were mostly centered around the fish. The symbol of the fish is a mystery. The fish has a shape similar to the number eight. The tail of a fish is a cup while the other part is a bigger cup. The tail and the neck that joins the body of the fish is a cup. When one finishes the first cup, such will be granted access to the larger cup. The smaller cup is Christ while the larger cup is the Father. Our Father is the living and the true God.
“And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matt. 4:19). We must eat the fish that Jesus gives to be able to fish men. The bread signifies His flesh. Bread is made from wheat turned into flour and then baked. Bread is made from plants which have life but do not move. Movement is a sign of life. Plants grow but do not move; our body also grows but does not move. However, our blood moves.
The sign of a fish is a sign of blood; it is also a sign of a cup. The structure of genes looks like the shape of a fish or an eye. Genes have to do with what is stored in the blood. All the information of a man is stored in his genes. What is in the blood are cups. The fish symbolizes the design of our gene or cup. The movement of fish in water is a sign of genes in the water. It was a fish that swallowed Jonah and Jesus said this is the sign He will show to us (Matt. 12:39-40).
The whale (a kind of fish) took Jonah into hell (which is the deep) while death took our Lord Jesus into hell. Our Lord Jesus was in the belly of death, but it was not possible for death to hold Him (Acts 2:24). A big fish (God) came to rescue Him. Death is a law; it is a spirit and also a cup. God had to loose our Lord Jesus from the pains of death. Every cup, whether of God or Satan, has death.
“But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.” (Matt. 26:29). The Father’s kingdom is far bigger and higher than the kingdom of Christ. What announces a dominion is wine. Wine or cup is the life of a kingdom. The celebration of wine shows the nature of a dominion. A dominion is known by the wine that is being served.
The first cup is the cup of Christ. The human blood type, which is the genetic structure, is a depiction of cups. After partaking of the cup of Christ, the next cup to partake of is the cup of the Father. The cup of the Father would remit sins that the cup of Christ could not remit. The cup of the Father is for the restitution of all things (Acts 3:21). The cup of Christ that remits sins, which is the New Testament cannot restitute all things (Luke 22:20). Restitution is only by the cup of the Father.
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord [20] And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you…” (Acts 3:19-20). Conversion here is not referring to the New Birth, so it had not yet happened to the church that Peter was speaking to. Jesus must have told the disciples this and prepared them ahead. Jesus will not be sent until He has first been preached. Many times, men want to display the human pride and intellect with the scriptures, which neither has spirit nor gives life. God will only show His prophets and apostles His secrets that He has kept in scriptures.
It will take repentance and conversion for sins to be blotted out. The reason for repentance and conversion is so that one can agree for his sins to go. If one only repents and is not converted, such will not agree for his sins to go. Before one can gain freedom from these sins, such must repent (turn) and be converted (changed).
“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” (Acts 26:1). Without repentance and conversion, there is no forgiveness of sins. This forgiveness has nothing to do with what we have done that is held against us; it is not pardon. If Jesus said we should forgive seventy times seven times (Matt. 18:21-22), it means that God cannot hold anything against us.
God is naturally a forgiver, but the issue is that we are permanently sinners. Thus, sins are present in us, but our eyes need to be opened and turning needs to take place for these sins to be taken away. If we repent, but are not converted, we will not receive the forgiveness of sins. When light shines and we see it, we are expected to turn from darkness to the light or from the power of Satan unto God.
Forgiveness is beyond pardon; it is remission or blotting out of sins. Repentance from dead works (Heb. 6:1) is good, but when one stays there and refuses to move into the Kingdom or New Testament, the holiness received from that preaching will go stale. This is because the holiness of God is beyond those teachings.
“That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.” (Mark 4:12). Our sins cannot go when there is no conversion, and conversion cannot come until we see. The essence of the opening of the eyes is for the heart to understand. Another word for healing is forgiveness of sins.
“For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest at any time they should see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And should understand with their heart, And should be converted, and I should heal them.” (Matt. 13:15). This forgiveness of sins is not pardon but healing of the soul. God does not hold anything against us, but He wants to heal the diseases of our souls that make us sin.
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits: [3] Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases…” (Psa. 103:2-3). Iniquity is as a result of diseases; it is also as a result of damages done in the soul. For healing to occur, the eyes of the soul must be opened. This means that these sins are there as a result of blindness; these sins are there because of diseases. The first key to healing the soul from these sins is to heal the eyes of the soul. When the eyes are opened, every other disease will be seen. The opening of the eyes deals with root of all the problems of the soul. When the eyes are opened, the gateway to healing the rest of the sicknesses has been opened.
Sin is traceable to a disarrangement in the soul of a man, which was caused by Satan. Jesus is the only person that can heal or rearrange the soul of such a person. Conversion is a rearrangement of the soul.
“For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” (Matt. 26:28). Sins cannot go until they are remitted. The blood is the answer to healing the soul; it is the propitiation for removing sins. The blood is not the tool for conversion or repentance, rather, the purpose of the blood is to address sin. What makes one repent is the bread. The bread is a gift of light. The bread is the word of God; it is the word of the blood. The bread is what is taken first, and it opens the eyes (Luke 24:30-31).
The bread must have worked on a man before the cup is served. When the soul is now converted as a result of the bread, one is qualified to take the cup. Jesus first broke the bread and after a while, served the cup (Luke 22:20). As the bread is eaten, eyes are being opened and turning takes place until the process of conversion is completed. The soul is then qualified to partake of the cup of the Father that remits sin.
There is the spiritual meat and drink. The spiritual meat is the meat of the drink. When faith is mentioned, it can refer to either the faith which is bread and that which is drink. Both work hand in hand and both of them are not knowledge, but lines. The bread is a line, but another kind of line for the drink. This is because if the bread is spiritual, it means that it is a line.
“Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.” (Luke 22:20). Everything about the cup Jesus gave is the New Testament, which is for the remission of sins. When one partakes of it, such will have a part in the kingdom of Christ.
“The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. [6] The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.” (Psa. 16:5-6). The body of Christ (His flesh) is a portion, just as the blood (cup) is a portion. Both the flesh and blood of Jesus are needed. When the bread is divided, a portion is divided, and we take our part.
There is a law that still holds fast to us and the only way to refuse it is when one has the bread — the building. One may have the building but not have life in the building. In the administration of Jesus’ blood, two prophecies are needed: firstly, to the body — the bone, sinews and then flesh to cover it; and secondly, for the wind to bring breath (Ezek. 37:1-10). To bring breath is to put life in the body.
God formed man from the dust of the ground and gave him a breath or life. What God put in Adam that determined the kind of life that he woke up with was breath (which is the stature of man), not oxygen (Gen. 2:7). Oxygen is just to make the physical body work. Another word for breath is the spirit of life. The life God put into Adam was downloaded into his soul and this is what was responsible for the life Adam was living. The essence of dominion and interpretation was in that life.
Breath can be a rod and can also be a sword (Isa. 11:4). The rod of His mouth is a breath, and the breath of His lips is also a breath. The sword of the spirit is the word of God (Eph. 6:17). Just as the words that our Lord Jesus speaks are spirit and life (John 6:63), what Satan speaks is flesh. Satan’s rod comes from his mouth; he kills by his words. Satan’s words are his rods to smite man and reduce him to flesh.
Bread will open the eyes and cause one to turn. Bread will convert one, but it will not remove sins. It is blood that removes sins; blood remits sins. The Lord Jesus wants to unveil Himself to the Church and give the Church a gift of flesh (bread) and blood.
“Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.” (John 6:53). Flesh is not the bread that is broken physically but is a symbol of what is in the spirit. There is both a flesh and a cup in the spirit. Partaking of the communion table is a demonstration of a feast in the spirit. Many partake of the physical communion but do not go into the spirit to eat the real flesh and drink the real blood.
The communion table is not set before many believers because that happens in the spirit. A table cannot be set before us when we are not ready for remission of sins. The milk of the word prepares one to partake of the table of the Lord which is the table of communion in the spirit.
Jesus instituted the sacrament so it can be done until the communion table is open in the spirit. It became the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, breaking of bread and prayers. They kept doing that until the real experience started. If there are two cups (Christ and God), it means there will be two pieces of bread. This means that there will be two types of flesh. The body of Christ is different from the body of the Son of God. The different kinds of flesh refers to the different veils.
“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, [20] By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh…” (Heb. 10:19-20). The flesh here is within the veil, but there is also a flesh outside the veil. The glory of the body differs, and the difference is according to the blood that runs inside it. Every cup has a different flesh around it. It is not all flesh that has the same glory. Even in resurrection, all bodies will be different, even though they will be according to the glorious body of Christ. In resurrection, everyone in the body of Christ will wear bodies according to the testimony that is in them.
There is the flesh of Jesus and the blood of Jesus. Jesus used the bread to symbolize the ordination of the New Testament flesh. This meant that flesh (bread) for the remission of sins has ceased from being the body of animals, but is now the body of a Man. The body of this Man is a spiritual body. The physical body of Jesus will not be eaten, rather, it is a sign in the spirit. It means that there is a meal called the “body of Jesus”, which we must eat. This tells us that our Lord Jesus’ outward man is not ordinary.
There is a spiritual element called “flesh” in the spirit. If God says that He will give us a heart of flesh (Ezek 36:26), it means that there is something called “flesh” in the spirit. The outward body of Jesus is an explanation of something called “flesh” in the spirit. Jesus was made in the likeness of sinful flesh (Rom. 8:3), but He did not have a sinful body. The body of Adam was designed by God; it was God that brought out the wisdom of flesh, not Satan.
Flesh means a covering, house, temple or tabernacle. When God came into the earth, He designed the physical flesh for us to see, but there is also flesh in the spirit. Flesh and blood are one; they cannot do without each other.
“I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” (John 6:51). When Jesus refers to “my flesh”, He is not referring to His physical body. This is not also to say that Jesus did not come in the flesh. The coming of Jesus in the flesh is of a high significance. However, the flesh Jesus wants us to eat is not His physical body but a meal that the Father will give to us.
God has a body where His life and testament are. His law is hidden in the Father's tabernacle. God is a Spirit (John 4:24), but He has a form. It means that He is a house and temple. God and the Lamb are the temple of the city (Rev. 21:23), which means they both are a house. The Lamb was a temple before He became the Lamb.
Blood is not the red pigment but speaks of a type of life that exists in the Godhead. The physical body of man was created to show us the invisible aspect of God. God is a house, and He has life running in Him. The flesh of Jesus is the physical flesh of God. The body of Jesus is man’s physical representation of God’s body.
There is a veil that God wears as a temple, which is spirit. The body of God is purely an eternal spirit, and His blood is an eternal blood. God created man as an example to read in order to know Him. The outward man of our Lord Jesus, His soul and spirit were framed by a Being called ‘Word’. The Word is a Spirit like the Holy Ghost, and the Father is a Spirit like Word. These Three are of different essence; the Holy Ghost and the Father could not become flesh, but the Word became flesh.
There is something in the Word that differentiates Him in the Godhead. Only Jesus was made flesh. There is also a kind of nature in the Holy Ghost, such that He can reduce Himself and fill a newborn believer so that he experiences a dimension of the measure of the Holy Ghost. At Jordan, Jesus was given the spirit that the Father would wear. The Godhead have different essences, but they are all one (1 John 5:7). They are one God and they have one life, which is Eternal Life. They are one by the reason of Their life and the record They bear (1 John 5:7).
“Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.” (Acts 20:28). The flow of human blood that Jesus carried was from heaven. It is the spiritual that becomes a physical flow in the flesh. Jesus did not get the outward body from Mary, rather, it was a manifestation that turned the Word into body, soul and spirit. This is an eternal power, not an everlasting one. It was the eternal Spirit that turned the Word into flesh. The Holy Ghost broke the gene of Logos until it became human. However, God needed that kind of human form to give Him a gateway to access our redemption and claim it for mankind.
In the spirit, what God sent was a conversion of Himself. He raised it up to the highest, where it came from. The body of Jesus is the house of the eternal God. As such, the Godhead can now boast of a physical body that looks like the body of man. What we eat at communion is not just partaking of a physical body.
The purpose of the flesh of God is to access the secret of the inner life. What Jesus brought to earth was not ordinary. The practice of bread and wine had been, it was brought to Abraham, and he was blessed. Bread and wine are the power of priesthood; it is to render service that is intangible when compared to gold. A natural man will rather take gold and leave bread. When bread is being broken, it is meant for life.
It is until we have partaken of the flesh and blood that we can have life. The flesh gives a sense of covering; it gives a sense of abode. The flesh blesses with a sense to hide in God and the cup remits sin. The blood imparts one to move away from his former abode and break into another covering.
“For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” (2 Cor. 5:1). The house is stored in bread. When one begins to eat the bread, such has to be found naked to wear the building of God.
“For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.” (2 Cor. 5:2-3). Eating the flesh of Jesus gives us life. There are two types of life: outward life and inner life. We are eating into our house as we hear and eat.
The house is programmed inside the corn. Before one can be a planted corn, such must have been well fed. When such falls, the body will be raised up at the sound of the last trumpet. It means that even those who are standing have their house in them, but they need to experience death. Our feeding right now is for our souls and bodies.
The purpose of the trumpet is to awaken the program of resurrection. Some will be physically alive at the sound of the last trumpet, so while the bodies of those that are dead are changing, such would also be changing. It means that what raised those that are dead will change those who are alive. It means those standing will also experience death, even while alive, because there must be a death before a new body can start in the twinkling of an eye. God can put our body inside us and keep feeding and blessing us. Our body at resurrection is according to the food we have eaten and the spiritual journey that we have made.
Blessings!
