There seems to be an increase in the doubt of Elohim’s existence; simply because of the false apostles, deceitful workers, Satan ministers transforming themselves as the ministers of righteousness; who walk according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience, that are holding His truth in unrighteousness. As there were false prophets among His people Israel then, even so there are false teachers among us today, who secretly bringing in damnable heresies against the holy name, and the holy faith. And many have followed their destructive ways; by reason of whom the way of truth is always evil spoken of. But we have chosen not to be as many which corrupt the word of Elshaddi: but as of sincerity, but as of Him, in His sight speak we in the Messiah. We are ready not only to propagate this gospel, but also to defend it: even unto death; because it is the truth of the true and living Elohim: even our Father Yahweh. Please take heed, and do not allow Matt.13:11-16; Acts.13:37-41, 28:24-27 to be fulfilled on you. For in Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our sins according to the riches of His grace. What is Redemption? And why do we need to be Redeemed? To be redeemed from what? By whom? With what? Back to whom? The word “Redemption” is a commercial word, that means to buy back that which was sold. But not about the redeeming of a sold land, or of the poor, or of a servant in Israel’s time according to Lev.25:35-55; or the redeeming of an inheritance, or the right to occupy the wife of the dead in Ruth.4:1-12; although they are typology and shadows pointing to the redemption of man’s soul from eternal damnation, which is seperation (the second death) from Yahweh. Wherefore should a man fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of his heels shall compass him about? They that trust in their wealth and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; none of them can by no means redeem his brother, nor give to Elohim a ransom for him Duet.32:39-42; Is.43:11-13. Wherewith shall he come before Yahweh, and bow himself before the high Elohim? What shall he give Him in exchange of his soul? Shall he come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall he give his firstborn for his transgression, the fruit of his body for the sin of his soul? What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? THE REDEMPTION OF THE SOUL IS COSTLY, AND IT CEASETH FOREVER: that he should live forever and not see corruption.
Why do man need to be redeemed? Man because of sin is sepereted from His Maker. Paul in Roms.7:14, said, that the law is spiritual: but we are carnal, sold under sin 1kg.21:25; 2kg.16:17; Roms.6:16. Sin is the principal spiritual enemy of man by successfully seperating him from, and making him the enemy of his Maker Roms.5:6-10; Col.1:21,22. Yahweh speaking to Israel in Is.50:1, which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? But you say I have sold you for nothing, and does not increase my wealth by your price. Behold, for your iniquities have you sold yourselves. How should one chased a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had shut them up Judg.2:14. You have sold yourselves for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money Jer.15:13,14. Man has sold himself to sin, and became a slave (servant) to sin Jn.8:33,34; and THE DEBT TO SIN IS DEATH; and the WORK OF SIN IS SERVITUDE. Man therefore need to be redeemed back from Sin. But who is qualified to buy back the slave from THE SLAVE MASTER (Sin,) and set the servant free? Job shouted! I know my redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh I shall see Elshaddi: Whom I shall see for myself, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. 1Jn.3:4-6. If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed Gal.5:1. For I have raised Him up in righteousness, and I will direct all His ways: He shall build my city, and shall let go my captives, NOT FOR PRICE, nor REWARD, says Yahweh of hosts. Therefore, let the redeemed of Yahweh say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy (Sin). The redeemer of man is known as the Redeemer! And He did it by being put to death in the flesh, but quickened in the Spirit: that He might bring us unto the Father Jn.14:6; Heb.2:9-15. Our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. FOR HE THAT IS DEAD IS FREED FROM SIN Roms.6:10,11, 8:10; 2Cor.5:17; 1Jn.3:8-10. Therefore we know that we were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from our vain conversation received by tradition from our fathers; who inherited lies and vanities, and things wherein there is no profit Jer.16:19-21; but with the precious blood of the Messiah, as of a lamb without blamish, and without spot; who verily was fordained before the foundation of the world Rev.13:8, but was in these last times manifested for us 2Tim.9,10, who by Him do believe in the Father, who raised Him from the dead, and gave Him glory that our faith and hope might be in the true and living Elohim Roms.8:9-11.
Why Blood? And why His own Blood? All souls are His, to Him that made it. For He formed man from the dust, and breathed into his nostrils, and man became a living soul Job.34:14,15; Is.42:5. All soul are His; as the soul of the father, so also is the soul of the children are His: the soul that sinned, it shall die. In His hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. By one man Adam sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, FOR THAT SINGLE ACT, ALL SOUL HAVE SINNED Roms.5:17-19. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without the shedding of blood is no forgiveness. The life of every flesh is in the blood: and HE THAT MADE MAN, HAS GIVEN BLOOD TO MAN UPON THE ALTER TO MAKE RECONCILIATION (ATONEMENT) FOR HIS SOUL: FOR IT IS THE BLOOD THAT MAKES RECONCILIATION FOR THE SOUL. All we like sheep had gone astray, the Father laid upon the Son the iniquities of us all. It pleased the Father to bruise Him; He did put Him to grief, AND MADE His SOUL AN OFFERING FOR SIN; and the Son willingly in obedience, and accordance to the Father’s will poured out His soul unto death, even to the death of the curse of the cross. When the Father saw the travail of His soul, He was well pleased for His righteousness sake: for He has magnified the law and made it honorable. By His knowledge shall the righteous servant justify us because He has borne our iniquities. The rightful right to redeem is of three basics requirements. 1). He must be the nearest kinsman Ruth.3:12. Though He being in the form of El Elyon, thought it not robbery to be equal with Him: but made Himself of no reputation, and was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: crowned with glory and honour; and being found in the fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross, which became the LAST ALTAR. That He by the grace of the Father should taste death for every man. 2). He must be in the capacity to redeem Lev.22:17-24; Ruth.3:13, 4:5,6. He was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin: THE SINLESS PERFECT LAMB OF ELOHIM THAT TOOK AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD 2Cor.5:21. 3). He must love and have compassion for the sinner Ruth.4:10-15. For the Father commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners and without strength in due time, the Messiah died for us. Hereby perceive we the love of the Father, because He laid down His life for us. The Messiah loved us, and gave Himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to the Father for a sweet smelling savour Jn.3:16; Gal. 2:20,21; 1Jn.3:1,2.
The misunderstanding of the word “DELIVERANCE” by most men, is the cause of the greastest abuse to the great plan and purpose of man’s SALVATION. The word deliverance is ambiguous, and must be carefully examined in interpretation and application. When they that are ignorant of the present truth speak of deliverance, their thoughts are limited on the type mentioned in Scriptures like Ps.107; Jonah; and similar Scriptures that talk of deliverance from temporary challenges that confront men in their temporary existence here on earth. Yahweh most times delivered His people Israel UNTO their enemies, into captivity Judg.2:14,15; 2Kg.13:3, 17:20. And when they humbled themselves, and realised their sins, and confesses them, He then will deliver them FROM the same enemies He delivered them UNTO Judg.2:16-18; 2Chr.6:24,25; Ps.106:43; Dan.9:1-19. Paul said I deliver UNTO you first that which I also received. So when we speak of deliverance, we must understand there is deliverance UNTO, and deliverance FROM. The deliverance FROM, can only be accomplished when HIM that delivered UNTO is acknowledged in purpose and will Roms.7:24,25; Heb.2:14,15. Because whom Elohim delivered UNTO, who can deliver FROM Is.46:9,10? I, even I, Am He, and there is no diety with me: I kill, and make alive; I wound, and I heel: neither is there any that can DELIVER out of my hand. For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live forever 1Sam.2:6-9. So when one says, I am a deliverance minister, the question should be, delivering UNTO? OR delivering FROM? In this dispensation of grace, the Messiah was sold (DELIVERED UNTO) DEATH FOR OUR OFFENCES, that MAN SHOULD BE REDEEMED THROUGH HIS BLOOD, (the death of the Messiah) Is.43:14-21; Roms.3:24, 6:3, and He was RAISED (DELIVERED FROM) THE DEAD BY THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION Roms.4:25, 6:4-11, 8:11; 1Cor.6:14. The Messiah became the penal subtitutionary vicarious sacrifice UNTO sin; and the Holy Spirit bacame the Deliverance power FROM death BACK TO THE FATHER as His Spiritual sons and daughters, being the children of resurrection 1Jn.3:1,2; the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness Roms. 6:10,11; 1Cor.6:17; 2Cor.5:16,17; Phil.3:3. Without redemption, there can never be deliverance. He gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of Elohim and our Father Col.1:13.
There is nothing like family deliverance. Other foundation can no man lay than that which has been laid. Having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it Col.2:8-15. Salvation is an individualistic issue: for all sinned in Adam, who is the fedral, seminal head; and condemned unto death Ezek.18:18-33. That which was written is now fulfilled; no more occasion to use the proverb, the fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge; but the soul that sinned shall die. The son shall not bear the inquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteousness shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him Jer.31:29,30; Roms.6:16,17. To whom Elshaddi would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: the Messiah in “YOU”, the hope of glory; Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in the Messiah. Shalom! 2Cor.13:8, 2:17, 4:1-7.
