Witnessing by the Kingdom Children , exposing the Mark

Let's pause here for a moment and just think a bit how we could even have the right to take on this job of being witnesses of the LIVING Word, we being mere flesh persons.

The main reason we must be witnesses is because Yashua has told us that is what He expects of Children of His Kingdom. We see the witnesses in Rev 11, as they face the seat of Satan, allowing the Holy Spirit to do His Work, through their hands and mind. They, as mere flesh men have earned the right to help conquer Satan, by their total Faith. How did they get it? The same way we can. By listening and acting in faith solely on what Father has given us, HIS understanding of HIS WORD, and working against everthing else.


We can ONLY succeed if we increase our Faith, by UNDERSTANDING.
Now to make this thought plain, and the experience real, let's look at the falsity of a current teaching, which discernment-ignorant sheeple accept.

Namely that the "mark of the beast", is a chip, a bar code or a 666 stamped on you.

The understanding of Father’s Word is our DUTY, as children of the Kingdom. We cannot be the effective witnesses for Him without such understanding. This is how Faith must be increased, and His Kingdom come.

We have most certain surety that a proper understanding is available to us in His written Word. We have but to believe the clear statement that this promise is indeed given to us. Yashua has clearly said:

Luke 8:
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. (KJV)

This promise is a means to both give us confidence that we CAN understand, but also a warning that we MUST hear only His truth, or we as individuals will LOSE what we think we have of understanding. Again, as with the simplicity of directing this concept to a small child, which we are in His Word, we are admonished in the letters of Paul and others that even though we as believers are granted the possibility of having the “mind of Christ”, remember that:

1 Cor 2:14 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.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. (KJV)

Thus Paul says the same thing as Yashua said, but places the warnings in the form of admonishments throughout his letters. This admonishment by Paul is basically to ‘be not carried away with every wind of doctrine’, but ‘prove those things we hear by the Scriptures’.

So what is this “MEANS” for understanding the scriptures? Well, for children of the Kingdom it had better be your MIND, your thinking processes, or you will surely become an orphan, as many do daily become orphans of the Kingdom, primarily due to laziness.

See, as children, lacking confidence, we are too often “peer pressed” into accepting what happens to be false doctrine, which of course has no Truth in the clear WORDS and INTENT of the ‘mind of Christ’, which He has given to us in the Written Word and that only.

This discernment, if you will, can come to us only one way. We must have the sure KNOWLEDGE that our minds, our thinking processes, are not darkened by “words without Wisdom”, and the CONFIDENCE, or FAITH that we can DISCERN the difference as necessary between mans thoughts and Christ’s thoughts.

As He has said, ’my sheep know my voice, and another they will not follow’. Thus children of the Kingdom will not accept lies.

The simplicity of this statement best not mislead you, for Christ taught us as little children. We have but to heed His words and believe them. To do this we first must have confidence and ask, as did David:, and Solomon for UNDERSTANDING. Understanding is what most young children cannot properly use, it’s their THINKING process, is it not?

Ps 119:73
73 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. (KJV)

Prov 2:2
2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; (KJV)

Prov 4:7
7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. (KJV)

Eph 1:18
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, (KJV)

I Jn 5:20
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. (KJV)

But, in spite of this vast storehouse of knowledge we have for the asking, many LAZY children who will not Study to become approved of God, listen instead to the ignorance hatched in the MIND of some man, putting confidence where it must not be for a child of the Kingdom. In doing so, they lose the ability to properly discern, and their status as Children of the Kingdom.

As Paul says:

Eph 4:18
18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: (KJV)

Again, now, what is understanding? Simply put, your thinking process.

Test and exercise your own “thinking process” or understanding now, on this passage:

Rev 13:16-18
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. (KJV)

Do you have understanding? Do you have a mind? Can you read and comprehend?

Lets look in the Word. The very fact that we cannot find a second witness to what the ‘mark of the beast’ in words that are pleasing to us, has resulted in the certain lie. That is, somehow, something physical and mysterious can defile you so that you become unacceptable to God.

We CAN prove from the WORD, however, what this ‘mark’ IS NOT, so lets see what Yashua said about physical things, to the “learned TV preachers of the day“, the Pharisees:.

Mark 7:13-16
13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. (KJV)

Now hear this. Do you have understanding? What comes out of a man but his thoughts, and their product in the physical world, his works?

Further reading will show the obvious. The mark is the mark of a man. See that ?
The mark of a man.
Rev 13:
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. (KJV)

Thus whether the mark is or is not physical is of no consequence to the children of the Kingdom, either way, for we know the truth.

We need to continually mature in the Word of God, as Children of the Kingdom, because a prime duty we presently have is to show the falsity of the words of man. Do you need more understanding? Then keep studying with your mind, really its OK, not only that, its required to enter the Kingdom. Use your 'forehead'. God Gave it to us to use, not to bang it against a wall.

The "Mark of the beast" therefore is to put the words of man, any man in the place of the will of Father.   Study, and do not be fooled by the man of sin, Satan himself, when he comes, for he surely will.
