Jesus Revealed Quotes

If our Great Master Jesus is not taught properly, like many before him, he will become a myth and we would have failed humanity. Christianity is a way of doing certain things; it is a certain way of doing all things. This certain way must embody the body and spirit of Jesus. Anything contrary is the work of the Anti-Christ. The Ant-christ is not a person; it is whatever is done that is not in harmony with the three objectives for the descent of Jesus to earth. Study these materials. For each quote given, read the whole chapter so that you get the full story. Use your knowledge to help raise the consciousness of the world. If you love Jesus, then it is our collective duty to feed the sheep. John 21: 15-17. Ideally, get the book, “The Mission of Jesus Revealed”. You will find great explanations in it. Before Jesus In Egypt, in 3000 BC, there was Horus who was born on 25th December of a virgin Isis, out-doored by three kings from the East. At age 12 he was a child prodigy and teacher, was baptized at age 30, and had 12 disciples, performed miracles including walking on water. He was known as God’s son, the Light, the truth. He was betrayed by Typhoon and killed, and then resurrected. In Persia, there was Mithra who was also born of a virgin on 25th December1200 BC. He performed miracles, died, and resurrected In Greece, there was Attis, who was also born on 25th December of a virgin, performed miracles, died, and resurrected. Again, in Greece, in 500 BC there was another deity Dionysius, who performed miracles, died, and resurrected. In India there was Krishna, who was born of the virgin Divarki, performed miracles, died, and resurrected

How to Read the Bible

Read Genesis chapter 1. Thereafter, whatever you read, ask yourself, “Will this bring me back into the spiritual image and likeness of God?” Genesis 1:27, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” You are the spiritual embodiment of God. Genesis 2: 7 “the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” You are the breath of God in flesh. Jesus Declared His mission • At age 12 Jesus declared his mission saying, “I must be about my father’s business” (Luke 2:49) In John 4:34 “Jesus saith unto them, my meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work”. Jesus said in John 5: 30 “I can of mine own self do nothing; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” What is this will of God? We see it in the fundamental teachings of Jesus which in its entirety are based on these three objectives: 1. To teach the divinity of humanity, and its practice that gives us absolute empowerment. 2. To teach Oneness of life. Unite humanity as one family of God by dissolving all religious and political barriers and enforce the spiritual practice of having a single vision. 3. To teach respect for one’s self and culture.

You Are Divine

You will know the truth and the truth will make you free. (John 8: 32.) What is the truth? The Kingdom of God is at hand (Matthew 3:2), When and where is it coming? “The Kingdom of God is within you”, Luke 17:20-22

“You are also the light and salt of the world, you are a city that is set on a hill” Matthew 5:13-16 In John 1:1-4 we find the words, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” All things including you is made with the Word or Spirit of God. Also, And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul. Gen. 2: 7. This means, you are the very breath of God made flesh. 1. “Christ in you is the hope of all glory” (attainment) Colossians 1:27. 2. Jesus said “Ye are Gods”, John 10:30-34. 3. John 14:12. “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and ‘greater works than these shall he do; because ‘I go unto my Father.” 4. “Greater is he within you than he that is without you.” 1 John 4:4. 5. Ephesians 4:23-24. “And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” “You are made after God.” 6. “You are the first fruit of God.” James 1:17-18. 7. “You are wonderfully and fearfully made” You are marvellous! Psalms 139:14. 8. You have capabilities like Jesus – you only have to believe and apply his teachings. John 14:12. 9. You are the habitation of God: ‘Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?’ 1 Cor.3:16 10.You live, move and have your being in God; (Act 17:28) 11.“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48. 12.Psalms 139:14. says “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” 13.Jesus was killed for teaching that He and You are divine. Matt. 26: 63-66, “But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. 66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.”

Rebirth: The Science of Being Born Again ` In John 3: 2-8, is the recording: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born ? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth , and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh , and whither it goeth : so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Born of Water: The Jews have a tradition of ritual bath known as Mikvah, usually practiced with pure running water or rain water, so Jesus used water symbolically to mean purification. Born of Spirit: Immortality. Jesus was clearly teaching that you existed before birth and you go beyond your death and this is also established in Jeremiah 1: 5, which states: Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. “That which breathes me in and out is the immortal breath of God.” 14.It is the spiritual discipline of dying daily (1 Cor. 15:31 KJV

Oneness of Life, Celebrating the One Family of God

Christianity has about 30% of the world’s population. The rest are of other faiths and convictions. If God is only for Christians, what happens to all the rest for all ages and whose fault would that be? 1. In the beginning God……Genesis 1:1. Everything came out from God. In God there is no distinction of race, creed or colour. The world is a spiritual universe and we are all spiritual children of a spiritual Father–God. 2. Differences in religion are like differences in schools. What matters most is not so much the school you attend than the subject studied and passed at the school. Religions are institutions where we study the subject of life itself. 3. One message runs through all religions and that is truth, love and morality. For example Christianity is based on love; Islam is based on peace; Hinduism is

based on self-realisation as God. At the core each religion compliments each other. 4. Jesus had a mission to teach the divinity of man and to unite all religious sects. Anyone who works to divide people by false religious propaganda is an antiChrist. 5. Love your enemies’ (Matt. 5:44), 6. Love God with all your might and your neighbour as yourself. (Matt. 22:37) 7. In his classic teaching on love as recorded in Luke 10:30-33, Jesus taught that the Jew, Levite and the Samaritan are all one. 8. “Do not call anyone on earth your Father; for one is your Father, He who is in heaven” Matthew 23:6 Christians, Moslems, Hindus and the African religion practioners are all of one Father-God, even the father of Jesus. 9. And I saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts creeping things, and birds of the air. 13 And a voice came to him “Rise, Peter; kill and eat” 14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.” 15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.” Acts 10:11-15. All are children of God. We dare not call anything that has come from God unholy. 10. Unto the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but even their mind and conscience are defiled – Titus 1.15. Pure minds see the purity of God’s presence in everyone. Impure minds keep condemning others as evil. The Christ eye sees the Christ in all. The truth is people condemn in others the evil that hides in their own souls. 11.There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Ephesians 4:4-6. There is only one kingdom of God and it remains indivisible. Anyone who works to divide it is working against the kingdom of God and will not succeed. The one spirit of God is in all people irrespective of their race or religion. 12.He answered and said to them, “Well, did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: These people honour Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worshipped Me. Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. “For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.” And He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God that you may keep your own tradition. Mark 7:6-9. Culture and tradition must be differentiated from pure religious principles. The religious principles of all people is truth and love. Traditions vary. What people quarrel about as religious differences are the traditions they uphold.

13.….. Then the woman of Samaria said to Him “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans…… Jesus said to her. “Woman believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. “You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. “But the hour is coming, and now is when true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. “God is spirit and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. John 4:4-14;and 21-24. Jesus by this, teaches that any religious tradition that is not opposed to the basic truth that he teaches is one with him and all. 14.1Corinthians 12:12-18 and 27. “For as the body is one and hath man member and all members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one spirit are we all baptised into one body whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one spirit For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But not hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” 15.For by one Spirit are we all baptised unto one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free and have been all made to drink into one spirit. (Gentiles here refer to all nations and people that were not of Jewish origin and faith – refer to Acts 13:45-46 and Isaiah 49:6) Today, you may refer to Gentiles as non-Christians, but Paul is telling us that they have been all made to drink of one spirit. 13 “

If the foot shall say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?……………. 17 And if the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing where were the smelling?” 1 Cor. 12:15. [if Christians are the only children of God what about the Hindus?] 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them as it hath pleased him.

16.‘For he that is not against us is on our part’ (Matt 9:40 17.“Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God” (Matt 5:9). 18.Act 10:34. Then Peter opened his mouth and said, “Of a truth, I perceive that God, is no respecter of persons.” God is no respecter of which country or religion or sect you belong to, “But in every nation, he that feareth him and worketh righteousness is accepted with him.

19.Romans 2:13-14. goes to confirm the same truth that God is not a partial God; He loves all his children equally be they Moslems, Hindus or Christians. “For not the hearer of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Romans 2:13 Leave the gifts at the altar, go and make peace and return to your spiritual obligations (Matt. 5: 23 -24). The emphasis is on reconciliation and Oneness. The Greatness of Jesus is not in miracles: He taught it, he demonstrated it, died for it and in it. He treated friends and “enemies” as the same. 49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? 50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. Luke 22: 49-51 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do (Luke 23:34). Must Christians yoke with non-Christians? Some Christians will want to support their position for segregation with this quote from the Bible: “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” (2 Cor. 6: 14.) Unbelievers are those who do not go with the Christ teaching of Oneness. Have Single Vision – Be God-Focused Proverbs 3:6 that “In all thy ways acknowledge God.” In good or bad ways see the hand of God in your situation. According to scripture, in Genesis 1:26-31, you are, indeed, the very excellent creation of God. Matthew 10: 29-30 Jesus taught “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father knowing? But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.” 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” This means that any teaching that instils fear is not of God. Matthew 5, 43 “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth

rain on the just and on the unjust.” Binding of enemies is not of God. It breeds anger, fear and hatred and weakens you. In Gen 50: 16-21 as he put it “...But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.” Job: “Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.” (Job 1:21). Job: “And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God” (Job 19:26). In Exodus 20: 3 God commands, “Thou shall have no other gods besides me.” Matthew 6:22, Jesus taught, “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” Jesus: “Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above.” (John 19:11). Rom 8: 38-39 affirms “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Jesus said, “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?” (Matthew 7:11).

Respect for Culture

Jesus came honouring his culture which is a way to unite the past with the present and the future. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.”(Matt. 5:17) Jesus celebrated the Jewish cultural practices, such as the Passover (see Matt. 26: 1-29). “And saith unto him, see thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.” (Mark 1: 40). The ritual that Jesus recommended will be found in Leviticus 14:1-7

“And Jacob rose up early in the morning and took the stone that he had put for his pillows and set it up for a pillar and poured oil upon it. And he called the name of that place Bethel but the name of that city was called Luz at the first” (Gen. 28:1819). Libation of oil. “And Jacob set a pillar in the place where he talked with him (God), even a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering thereon and he poured oil thereon.” (Gen. 35:14). Libation is also called Drink Offering in the Bible. “When they had gathered at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out on the ground before the Lord”(1 Sam 7:6) This classic command from God sums it all affirming that libation is holy unto God. Malachi 3:6 reads, “For I am the LORD, I change not”. If True Living God does not change then He/She has not changed his mind about libation. God commands: “And drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: In the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the Lord for a drink offering.” (Num. 28:7).

Is Jesus God?

Many references of Jesus teaching that shows himself and God as two entities. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 14: 28 “The Father who sent me is greater than I”. This speaks of two people. In John 17:1, before his crucifixion, Jesus prayed to God the Father saying, “...Father, the hour is come ; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:” Jeremiah 1:5, which states, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations..” And in Mark 14:36, he also prayed saying, “And he said , Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will , but what thou wilt.” Matt. 23: 9, “And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.” . In Mark 10: 17-18, “as Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal

life?" 18 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered, "No one is good except God alone.” Phase 1: Jesus who could of his own self do nothing except the Father or the Christ within him (see John 5:19- 30). Phase 2: Jesus who had meat supply that the world knew not of (see John 4:32). Phase 3: Jesus who was ‘the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man cometh unto the father but by Him’. (John 14:6). Before the claim that ‘I am the way, the truth and the life, Jesus had also taught that you are “the Light of the world – a city built on a wall cannot be hid.” (Matt. 5:14-15). You are a “Child of God and Joint heirs with Christ Jesus” (Rom. 8:16).

The Second Coming of Jesus

In Matt 16:28, he said, “Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” It is over 2000 years since Jesus shared this and no man is that old. The Kingdom might have already come or it has a spiritual meaning. Paul who persecuted the followers of Jesus, on his way to Damascus, came to the God experience and became Saul who preached the gospel far and wide; Peter came to the great revelation and faced death like it did not matter; and the writings of St. John speak of a man who woke up from the dream of mortality and sin into his divinity.

How to follow Jesus

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Romans 14:17. It requires serious discipline. Luke 2:52, Jesus was increasing in wisdom, strength in favour with God and Men. He initiated disciplines to add virtue to his states. Not those who say ‘Lord, Lord’ but those who do the will of the Father (Matt. 7:21). And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. Matthew 19:16-17 16

17

Anyone who comes after me must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. Mark 8:34. To Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life... John 6:56. This simply means you must be like Jesus in flesh and in spirit. Not those who perform miracles or go seeking for miracles. (Matt. 7:22-23). “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Doing miracles is not a sign of enlightenment and has nothing to do with salvation. Salvation is not transportation from earth to heaven; it is the transformation of your human consciousness into God consciousness. In Matthew 16:4, Jesus described those who go after miracles as “A wicked and adulterous generation... Stop confessing your sins. Confess the good that God does through you and it will empower you to do more good. God did not see the sins of the prodigal son when he confessed it. Luke 15:21-24. Love all irrespective of their race, religion or culture, “that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust”. (Mt 5:45).

Myth of the Devil

The light is real and the darkness is not. So you can take light into the darkness but cannot take darkness into the light. Mirage is a name but is not real. Romans 3:23 tells us that “for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” This means we have missed the mark that we are of the glory of God. The goal is to return to it. Proverb 23:7. “..for as a man thinketh in his heart so is he.” Titus 1:15 “Unto the pure all things are pure.” God is pure then he must certainly be too pure to behold the little iniquities of man Habakkuk 1:13 “Do not deceive yourself, God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth , that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7 Work out your own salvation - Philippians 2:12

Our God is good, in him there is no darkness at all, (1John 1:5) 1. James 1:12-18 reads “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been proved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him. 13Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 18 Of His own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of His creatures”. 2. "From within, out of the heart of man, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornication, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness – Mark 7:21-22. So the devil is not outside you – it is nothing but your evil thoughts and desires. Luke 11:34 “The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is single, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is double, your body is also full of darkness.” Job 3:25 “The thing I feared most has happened to me” Jesus taught. “Resist not evil.” Matthew 5:39. If evil were real Jesus would prescribe heavy weapons to fight it. 3. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:37-39) Man is more than a conqueror. No power, be it of the devil or otherwise can separate man from God. “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:12. Romans 12:20 advises us to feed our enemies when hungry and to give them drink when thirsty. Ghana Contact: Etherean Mission Int. P. O Box AN 8562 Accra-North Ghana Tel 0302 32 67 02 U.K. Contact:
