BOOK OF COLOSSIANS, AT (Chapter 3 & 4.1-6)

1 Christ-Centered Kabbalah Sheila R. Vitale Pastor, Teacher, Founder PO Box 562 Port Jefferson Station, NY USA TRANSCRIPT OF MESSAGE #917 - Part 3 BOOK OF COLOSSIANS, AT (Chapter 3 & 4.1-6) This Message Has Been Transcribed and Edited For Clarity, Continuity Of Thought, And Punctuation By The CCK Transcribing and Editing Team. Today's message is the Book of Colossians, Chapter 3, and I also included the first six verses of Colossians, Chapter 4, because everything after the sixth verse is Paul sending greetings to other people. This turned out to be a very interesting message. We have some review work to do at the beginning, but I would like to tell you what the Lord told me about us, about me as your teacher, and the people who follow this doctrine. The Lord is still enlightening me from two primary messages, The Gadarene Demoniac and Gilgamesh. He keeps going back to those messages, so today I am here to tell you that we are all spiritual male hogs. That is what we are in this ministry. We are spiritual male hogs, and I realized that when the Lord told me to start teaching from the New Testament, and how light the message of the New Testament is compared to what we have been doing for a very long time. The term spiritual male hog is not really an insulting term, although it sounds like it is. We are spiritual male hogs in that we cannot get enough of this esoteric doctrine. If you are reading this and you do not fall into that category, that is OK, but I think that to be studying with me on a regular basis you have to fall under that category, because no one in their right mind would put up with these deep studies, which are anywhere from six to eight hours a week of lecture, plus however many times you have to read the message to understand it. We are the spiritual male hogs, and the spiritual male hogs are saved from destruction by receiving the privilege of the Doctrine of Christ, the true doctrine. Some people are so hungry for spiritual truth that they will eat anything, although they may not realize that is what they are doing, but that is the crux of the matter. 1

2 When I first started teaching the epistles, the Lord told me there were people out there in the world who were spiritual black belts, and at least two people in this ministry have a testimony, the Lord told them that if He did not bring them here, they would have been drafted by Satan and gone into heresy. I do not know if it would have been doctrinal, but their spirituality would have gotten them into trouble. Now that we are in Christ-Centered Kabbalah, the Lord is telling us we are spiritual male hogs, which in and of itself is not a bad thing, because lusting after God and His doctrine is just about the only legitimate addiction in the universe. You can lust after God and after the things of God. You can lust after the Word of God and you will never, ever be satisfied. So, keep on lusting after the things of God and He will always have enough food to satisfy you, at least for the moment. There are no negative consequences for this lust, or this addiction, as long as you are in a congregation that is under the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ. The teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ requires you to deal with your sin nature coincidentally with swallowing down this esoteric doctrine. As long as you are in submission to the Lord Jesus, and in submission to the teacher, dealing adequately with your sin nature, and going forward in the process of refining that nature, there will be no negative consequences to being a spiritual male hog. It is the only safe addiction in the universe. The Lord is bringing the Scripture to life for us; He is bringing all the parables to life. Everything in the Scripture is about humanity; it is about us. The whole Bible is for us, when we are ready to receive it and to hear it. It is all about us, what our fallen condition is, what His plan is to solve the problem that has us trapped down here in this material world; and all about Him, that we should be able to understand Him, and acknowledge Him, and follow after Him. That is what the Bible is all about; it is for us. Out of all of humanity and the Church, we are a congregation of spiritual male hogs who are under the headship of the Lord Jesus Christ. I want to give you an example without naming any names; I do not even know if I should say they are members of this ministry. Let us first understand what makes you a member of the ministry. Does tithing make you a member of the ministry? I do not think so. I think your participation in the ministry makes you a member of the ministry. It is possible for you to tithe here and not be a member of the ministry. There is a very well-meaning woman who tithes here. At least, she sends in monthly donation. If it is an actual 10 percent of her income, I do not know, but I believe in her mind she thinks she is tithing here, but she does not study with us. I received an from her recently laying out confused esoteric doctrine that she picked up, a little bit from me, a little bit from here, and a little bit from there. I had to tell her that you cannot mix this doctrine with what you find on the internet because it produces an antichrist message in your mind. What I am trying to tell you is that she is a spiritual male hog, so she needs to be in this ministry. Sending money is not enough. Her soul needs to be in this ministry because she is a spiritual male hog. She cannot get enough of the doctrine of God, but for whatever reason, maybe she has not had time, or maybe she has been ill. I know she has had a lot of problems in her life, so I am not criticizing her, I am giving you an example. The reality is that she has this desire and 2

3 need for esoteric doctrine. She has not applied herself to the message of Living Epistles Ministries, and she is walking around with an antichrist message in her mind. She is a spiritual male hog that is in trouble. She has to come under the cover of this ministry and start applying herself to the message. I am here to help her. We will see what happens. For those of us here that are in submission and doing all we are supposed to do, we are a congregation of spiritual male hogs, and that is what the message of the Gadarene Demoniac is all about. It is about a category of people in the Church (maybe they are not in the Church, although, as far as the Gadarene Demoniac goes, they were Jews) that seek to satisfy their spiritual hunger through the Scripture, and amongst those people is a category that are spiritual male hogs. They cannot get enough of this word, and if they cannot get enough of the letter, eventually it should lead them to the esoteric word (I would think), although I know there are teachers of the letter that really know the Word of God, and they never seem to get beyond it. It seems to me that at some point you start going up, instead of around and around and around. Something very interesting happened after we did Chapter 2 of the Book of Colossians. In the beginning of Chapter 2, Paul is speaking to the Colossians, and he says, Make sure that this letter gets to the Laodiceans. I remember thinking at the time, Why the Laodiceans? What about the other churches of God? Why just the Laodiceans? It was just a fleeting thought, and why I did not pursue it, I do not know. Maybe I unconsciously thought, How would you check something like that out? I remember I did not address it; I just let it go. I was on the internet recently, and Google is always recommending videos for me, and what came up was a video by Chuck Missler. Normally I would have never clicked on Chuck Missler because most of the time, but not all the time, I do not have the patience to listen to the letter of the word. I am sorry if that sounds arrogant. I did find a preacher that I really enjoyed listening to the other day, but a lot of the time I do not have the patience for their preaching. Normally when I am on the internet I am not looking for other preachers, I am looking for current events and news, but I clicked on Chuck Missler, and would you believe it, he actually talked about the Laodicean Church and explained why the Laodicean Church is different from the other six churches. I was so amazed that the Lord would do that when the question just fleetingly passed in my mind, but it was not an issue where I asked the Lord specifically about the Laodicean Church; it was just a fleeting thought. This is the answer: The Laodicean Church, which is the seventh church, is different than the other six churches (there are a total of seven churches of God). In the first six churches, Jesus addresses the Church as a collective body, inasmuch as Jehovah would address National Israel as a collective body; as a nation. But in the seventh church, the Laodicean Church, He addresses the individual. He says, If you knock, I will come in, and I will sup with you. The offer of a personal relationship is given only to the seventh church. The seventh church of Laodicea is the end-time church. When He comes in, He is coming with esoteric doctrine, but Chuck Missler did not know that. I thank God that the man has an intense knowledge of the letter of the Word. I was thinking about him this morning because I think about the Church a lot, especially teachers that I believe are sincere, and I believe Chuck Missler 3

4 is a very sincere man. He has a sterling background as a human being. He is greatly accomplished in his profession; he was a military man and became this really great Bible teacher after he retired. It looks like he may be in his 80s; he is definitely on in years, and he has all this knowledge. I had this same thought when I was at a service in a local church. Actually, it was the church with the pastor that came against me so badly that he drove me out of his church because of the spiritual attack on me. I do not want to put his name on this message. This pastor (the last I heard) had a stroke and he could not teach anymore, but he was really an excellent teacher of the Word. These teachers go to Bible college and have all this information about the Word. They know there are seven churches of God, and that the seventh church is the only church that addresses the individual? That is how preachers that focus on the New Testament teach. It is all about the letter, and there are quite a bit of words in the New Testament, so they find all this information about the letter of the Word. Is that bad, Pastor Sheila? It is not bad, but it is called being in the wilderness. It is what they are taught in Bible college, and the Bible teachers that do that are doing the same thing that the Jews do. The Jews have acquired an incredible body of knowledge. Some of the greatest minds in the last 2,000 years have been rabbis, and they have racked up all this incredible knowledge. The teachers of the Church are doing the same thing. The question is, What good has all this knowledge done for you? What has it given you? It has affected you in this life; it has made you intelligent; maybe it has drawn you closer to the Lord. I honestly do not know if it has or not. It may have. And then what? These Bible teachers are all going round and round and round in the wilderness. Somebody has to start going up. Somebody has to start teaching a message that will reconnect humanity to Jehovah, that will reconnect humanity to life so that we stop dying. But they are not even praying along those lines because they have been fed a lie that tells them immortality is after death. This is how dangerous it is to make up your own answer when you do not have the answer. I have been talking to you about that for years. This is what the whole Church has done. The answer is not evident to them, so they make up the answer. The Church says that the reason we are still dying, the reason we are not appearing like Jesus appeared after physical death, is because it happens after death. Why, then, if it is after death, are they not appearing? I do not know, and the Church has just left it at that and taken it for truth, but it is a lie. We have the incredible privilege of teaching the message that goes up. It goes up, but not very many know we are here, and if they do know, they say we are not Christian or that we are not Jewish because we believe in Jesus. Those who look at us usually do not like the message, or they reject us for one reason or another, because Satan lies to them and has a roadblock in there somewhere. We will just continue to bring forth this Word, which just gets more and more incredible. The Lord has revealed to us who Melchizedek is, which was so overwhelming to me, I actually started to cry. The degree of the revelation, and what God is doing here, just keeps coming forth. At some point, it has to go public because God is not doing all this work for just me or you. He is doing it for the Church. He is doing it for the Israel of God, and He is doing it for all of humanity, so it cannot stay within these four walls. 4

5 Our job is to keep on working. You are a part of what I do, because when I preach the message, it is a whole different method than when I study alone, and both are necessary. You are as important as I am, from that point of view, to listen to it and believe it. If you can hear this, the arrangement that we have is according to the blueprint in the Mount. We see this arrangement throughout the structure of the whole creation. We see the Lord Jesus Christ relating to the Church; we see the Shekinah, the Mother, relating to her Son; we see Ancient Adam relating to the God World of Atzilut. There is always a head and a body. As far as this ministry goes, I am the head and you are the body. As long as everybody knows who they are, we are in good shape. This lady that I just mentioned to you does not understand that yet, that I am the head and she is the body. She has to find out, and I pray that I can help her to find out because that is my job. We are the spiritual male hogs of Port Jefferson, not really, but the spiritual male hogs of the Church today, because we are way beyond Port Jefferson. I have to tell you that I thought the Book of Colossians was so weak. I was very unhappy about preaching this message today because I had leafed through it and I did not see anything that would lead to esoteric doctrine. It seemed that the whole epistle was advice on how to behave, so I put it before the Lord because I am a spiritual male hog, and I did not really want to preach it. I said, OK, Lord, I will preach it, because I understand that not only is dealing with our sin nature absolutely a pre-requisite for going forward with this message, but living the Christian life is very important. The reason we deal with our sins is to equip us to live the Christian life, so I really do have to preach about the Christian life. That is the way I resolved it in my mind: that I had to do this for any of the New Testament books (which may be quite a few) that the Lord wants us to take a look at, and preach on. I started doing the Alternate Translation; it was very mild. I did see some Kabbalah in it, which we will talk a little bit about, the Microprosopus. The first few verses were a little interesting, and those last few verses where Paul is naming the sins and saying, Do not do this, do not be angry, and do not do that, and then saying, Instead, be filled with love: I want you to know that I was in pain translating those verses. I was actually telling the Lord, Translating these verses is killing me. Not that I am against being in love, and not that I am against showing you your sins, I am a spiritual male hog, and I was just so bored, it was killing me. I had it in my heart that I would do Chapters 3 & 4 in one message, and then when I got to Verse 25, the last verse of Chapter 3, I said, It is too much to do both Chapters, but let me take a look at Chapter 4. I realized Chapter 4 had only the first six verses that could be translated, and everything after that it was Paul sending his regards, at which point I had a very interesting experience of understanding. When I first came to the Church, I had no spiritual or church background at all. I was raised up in an unusual church: it was a deliverance ministry, and not many Christians did deliverance ministry, although there were deliverance ministries all over the United States (I do not know the rest of the world). My point was that I was in the Church world. My understanding of the New Testament, which is mostly what was taught, was a Church world understanding. Then the Lord started me on Kabbalah, and in the last 10 years I have been so immersed in the Jewish mindset (Kabbalah is the Jewish mindset) that now that I am back in the New Testament, I am like a 5

6 stranger. In my mind and my understanding of the Word, I am not a church person anymore. If there is anyone out there listening to me preach, aside from the understanding of the revelation, I am just not a copy of the mindset of the Church world. I lost that somewhere in these last 10 years. I do not know if you can relate to what I am saying or not, but there is a way that Christians think about things. There are favored Scriptures that they all use, that have been beaten into your brain, that the evangelists and the pastors of the day have made an issue out of, and all that got swallowed up in the last 10 years, so now when I come back to the New Testament, I am looking at it like a stranger. So I looked at Chapter 4 of the Book of Colossians, and said, This is just a letter. It is like a teaching that I have been sending out. I have been sending out teaching s for years that have been lost because I did not have the staff to process them. Just recently, with Xxxx and Xxxx, we have been getting these teaching s up on the blog, but I have been teaching for 30 years and sending out teaching s to the brethren for at least 20 years. They are all lost somewhere. God only knows if they will ever show up. Maybe 100 years from now they will turn up in a cave somewhere. Instead of the Deep Sea Scrolls, it will be the Deep Port Jefferson Scrolls, or something like that. All of these profound teaching letters ( s) that I sent out; I knew they were being wasted, and I just did not know what to do with them. I said, It is just a letter. I do not mean that to diminish it in any way, but I found that my mind was liberated from the mold that the mind of the Church people is in. Their mind is in a mold; they cannot hear, see, think, recognize or taste anything that is different than the way they have been taught in the Church. They are in a box and cannot get out. Anything that is not familiar to them, they reject. That is my whole point. I looked at this epistle; I know that epistle means letter, but somehow, I never put two and two together. These are just letters that Paul wrote to the local churches. It is like me writing to the church at McGregor or the church in Lagos, and it was very liberating to me to understand that. Not to diminish it in any way though, but the epistles are almost the whole New Testament. We are not talking about the gospels, but the part of the New Testament written by the apostles are almost all letters that they wrote to the churches that were not local. We have churches associated with us that are not local, as well as local fellowships that are part of this ministry. We are doing the same thing, and whatever you want to say or think about me, I think you cannot deny it anymore that we are doing what Paul did, and the most incredible message is coming forth here. You all need to understand that, even when nobody recognizes it, what an incredible privilege it is. I really like those YouTube videos; I do not listen very long, I just get the latest news and I click off. I am as bad as the millennials, but I am not a millennial. I listen for two minutes and I click off, and recently I saw a prophecy by Kim Clement (normally I do not listen, and I am sorry if I sound arrogant. I do not think that I am arrogant; I do not want to be arrogant). Pentecostal prophecy is interesting, but usually it is just too general for me. The Scripture says, Do not despise prophesying. I have to be careful to not despise prophesying because I do not like anything general. If I cannot understand what it means, I do not want to spend my time on it, and that goes for esoteric literature that I am reading. I have been reading the Book of Enoch again, and some of it blessed me, but the last few paragraphs that I read, I said to the Lord, It is all a parable. I have no idea what it means. I do not want to be reading something that I do not know what it means. I 6

7 warned you all about reading passages of esoteric doctrine, and reading the Zohar, when the Lord is not revealing the Doctrine of Christ to you. Because when you do not know what it means, your carnal mind, knowingly or unknowingly, starts filling in the answers to what it means, and that is very dangerous. I was telling you about Kim Clement. I do not usually listen to Pentecostal prophecy. I do think it is of God and it is edifying; we are told prophecy is for the edifying of the saints. If it edifies you, you should listen to it. It is fine, but for me, that is who I am. My mind is like a vice. I just cannot get enough of the esoteric doctrine. I am a spiritual male hog, and I do not want to waste my time reading or listening to things that do not mean anything to me, and yet I clicked on Kim Clement. I clicked it open, and there he is: he is giving forth that prophecy about the woman who is going to appear coincidentally with the President that he is prophesying about. When I first heard this prophecy a couple of months ago about the woman that is going to bring oil to the Church and to the whole population, I sort of blew it off, saying, The woman is the Shekinah, because he is talking about big eyes, meaning the eyes of the understanding. That is what was in my heart when he was talking about big eyes; not physically big eyes, but he was describing the understanding that the woman would have. I said, It is the Shekinah, and I pushed it off. But the Lord said to me, in the preparation of this message, It is not the Shekinah. It is a human person. Kim Clement was prophesying about a human person whose ministry would be characterized by oil, which is different than the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is likened to water, and water dries up. It is very, very hard to dry up oil. I do not know if it is even possible to dry it up completely. It might be, but we definitely have the oil of the Word here. I was talking to the Lord the other day about the anointing here, how it is different than the Pentecostal anointing. It is like oil, it is just so smooth; it is silky. Can you relate to that at all? It is like oil. I think the woman in this prophecy is me, and I cannot throw it off anymore because he is talking about a human woman, not a Spirit. The Shekinah is a Spirit. Let us see what Kim Clement is saying. He is talking about the President (that everybody now knows is President Trump), and the woman with a ministry characterized by oil. First, they are going to hate her, and then they are going to love her, and it will be spread over the world. It went beyond the Church, if I remember correctly. I should listen to it again. This will happen in the middle of this President's presidency. If he has a four-year presidency, it would be in two years; if he has an eight-year presidency, it would be in four years. The thought that came to my mind was, In the middle of his presidency does not have to be exactly in the middle, but that is when the ministry will become public. It will go public in the middle of his presidency, which is probably going to be an eight-year presidency. About four years in, it will be publicly recognized. He said they will hate her, and then they will love her. First, they have to hate her, but before they can hate her, they have to know about her, so there is great persecution coming when this message goes public. The Lord will make this message public in the very near future, but it will not be largely accepted until halfway through President Trump's presidency. I had no intention of telling you that this morning, but I guess the Lord wanted me to tell you. That is my introductory exhortation. The Lord is saying we all need to walk worthily of this call of which we are a part. We are all part of an incredible move of God. It is so incredible that I 7

8 do not deal with it very much, because it overwhelms me, and I think that I am not up to the job. And I am not up to the job. No one that God calls is up to the job; everybody is inadequate. When God called Saul, Saul said, Me? I am from the smallest tribe, and the least prominent family in the tribe. That is God's M.O. So I am not up to it, but He and I together, we will be up to it, and you also, whatever your part is in it, because I need other people around me too. We and He will be up to it. It is coming, and we should walk worthily in this call. We will be talking today about the Book of Colossians, Chapters 3 & 4; about how the Lord expects us to relate to each other and to other people, and other New Testament epistles that will be talking about the same thing. Let us put our voracious appetite for esoteric doctrine on hold when we talk about these issues. Then, at the very, very end, the sixth verse of Chapter 4 (I am telling you, I was in pain translating these verses, I was so bored); because those six verses should really have been a part of Chapter 3, the Lord just blew up with this incredible Kabbalistic understanding that resulted in the revelation of who Melchizedek is, which just blew me away. We have a mixture today of Pentecostal doctrine and Kabbalistic doctrine, and that is just a sign of things to come, because the Kabbalists (we spiritual male hogs) have to mix with the Church. We are about to publish (for the third time) 1 Corinthians, Chapter 11. I keep making changes to it, and it is all about mixing with the Church. We are the teachers in the Church. The Church cannot rise up to where we are, so we have to humble ourselves and suffer the loss. This woman that I just told you about, I sent her a godly, loving, humble explaining to her that she is supposed to be following me and not going out on the internet and getting information and bringing it back to me, asking me what I think about it. It is one of the best letters, ( s) I ever wrote, and she sent an back. She was enraged. How do I know she was enraged? I had to get into bed and start praying because I was having heart palpitations, and I knew it was her. I started my with, Please understand, and her started with, I completely understand. You do not want to be bothered with me or make time for me. You are very busy; You do not want to answer my questions, and you are this, you are that; it was not very nice. The old me would have said, So long (or whatever I would have said; I was not the subtlest person 30 years ago). That is not what the Lord requires of us. I had to humble myself. I answered her , saying, I do have time for you. I will be happy to answer your questions, but you did not ask me any questions. You told me what you believe. What do you want me to do? I got a positive response from her. I saved her by humbling myself. The Lord wants to save her. I said, You have all this understanding in your mind. You have to get this straight. You cannot be walking around with this antichrist message in your mind. You are called of God. Why are you not listening to the messages here? Her answer was, They are not clear. They have an echo. Maybe one message had an echo, so I think that she could not understand what I was saying. I used to tell people that years ago. Someone would call me with an issue, and I would point them to one of the messages and say, Read that transcript or listen to that message. No, they needed a verbal answer right away. When someone has an issue on their heart, they are not going 8

9 to listen to a whole message or read a whole transcript. They need a verbal answer from Christ in you, right now, face-to-face. There are going to be people coming here to me, and to you, and they are going to need that answer. It happened for the first time a couple of weeks ago with the lady who was called to this ministry, but she got here and she left. She lives in this condominium complex. She is the one who went to the synagogue with me on the holiday, and we opened the prayer books of one of the prophets, and she said, That is Jesus. I said, That is not Jesus. Jesus was only born 2,000 years ago. She said, Well, who is it? Brethren, do you know how many people would have never said, Well, who is it? They do not ask the question. It is not Jesus. He was born 2,000 years ago. He is dead. But this woman asked the question, Well, who is it? I had to ask her to wait until we left the synagogue, because she kept saying, It is Jesus, and I am telling her, They are going to throw us out of the synagogue. When we got out of the synagogue, she said, Well, who is it? I said, Adam. That was all she could handle at the moment, and she was supposed to come back, I saved her. I talked to her about what I am talking to you about right now, that I understand there will be people like her that will not come to the meetings, will not listen to the messages, will not read the transcripts, but will come with a question as God puts it in their heart. That is what they need at the moment for their spiritual development, which could be working in them for the next six months. Can you believe an answer like that, which is a living seed, spoken by a believer that has Christ, could be working in that person for six months? Some people are not capable of keeping up with the messages. This woman I was talking about has a lot of problems in her life right now. She cannot do what you are doing. You are the teachers, and you are the ones who are eligible to be of the Melchizedek priesthood. Jesus is the High Priest, but there is a priesthood. Jesus is parallel to Aaron in the Aaronic priesthood. Aaron was the High Priest, and then there were all the other Levitical priests. Jesus is the High Priest. The Scripture says we are kings and priests. You are not a priest because you read it in the Bible. When you read it in the Bible, it means it is a possibility for you. Everything you read in the Scripture, you can say, Lord, I read it in the Bible, so I know it is possible; I know that You have done it before. Will you do it for me? It does not mean that you have it because you read it in the Bible. There will be a priesthood. Right now, there is a High Priest. The Lord told me years ago that I was a priest. He gave a dream to Xxxx before she died, and in the dream, the Lord said, There is a priest in your life doing blah, blah, blah. I said, Xxxx, that is me. Can you not see that that is what I do for you? That is how I found out I was a priest. To be a priest, you have to perform the functions of a priest. To be a Son of God, you have to have the Spirit of the Son. If you have the Spirit of the Son but you do not function as a Son of God, what good is the Spirit? You cannot be a king unless you have a kingdom. You could call yourself a pastor, but you are not a functioning pastor if you do not have a congregation. You have to act, perform; you have to live in the function to be what the name says you are. And to be a priest, you have to be in a particular spiritual condition to be a priest after the order of Melchizedek. The spiritual condition you have to be in comes as a result of everything we are studying here. 9

10 We have a mixture in this message today. The message is going to clarify, make very clear, what the Lord expects from our behavior, how we relate to each other, and how we relate to people that are not in the kingdom. No matter what they do, we are not to be angry out of our emotions. There is an anger against sin. You want the Lord to forgive you for the things you do wrong. Brethren, we sin every day, at least in our thoughts. If you tell me you do not, you are a liar. Everybody sins every day. You want the Lord to forgive you? You have to forgive others. That does not mean you let them abuse you; it means you do not condemn them, nor hold it against them. If they want to rob you, you do not let them into the house. You say, God bless you, and you close the door and call the police, but you do not rail against them, retaliate against them, or hate them. We have to stop the behavior. We have the power to stop the behavior. We have to stop the verbiage, what comes out of our mouth. When we do that, Jesus will ultimately stop Satan from giving us those thoughts in the first place, which come from the unconscious part of our mind. We can only do what we can do. We must stop acting on it, and say and do the right thing. My introductory exhortation is going to end with this last testimony. At the point I could not take it anymore with those verses, I stopped to take a break and watched a Netflix movie. Again, I usually do not watch Christian movies because they usually bore me, but I tried a Christian movie. It was really, really, really good. Production-wise, it was the best Christian movie I have ever watched. It was good enough to be an A-movie for me. The name of it is Victor, and it took place in the 60s. There was a big move of God in the 60s; a lot of drug addicts and hippies were saved. Victor is the story of one of those hippies. He was a hopeless heroin addict that the Lord saved and gave a ministry to, and he is still alive and ministering today. It showed how the ministry the Lord saved him through was functioning. There was this rough neighborhood with all these gangs with their Sig guns. They were shooting each other and killing each other, and this preacher came into town and started up a storefront church. There were a couple of scenes of the church where he was preaching to people off the streets, and one verse from the Book of Colossians was his message. I said, Lord, how does a spiritual hog, who needs all this spiritual food for themselves, and all the studying that goes into it, find time? How do we go from this to helping people? Because, brethren, we have to help people. What we are doing here eventually must come forth in a form that will help people that know absolutely nothing, that are desperately in need of help from God. It has to be refined at some point. How do we go from this to a church where you preach on one verse? How would I ever be able to do it? I can see myself helping these people, and by the grace of God, finding a way to say what they need to hear simply. I said, Lord, how could You ever put me in a church like that? How could I do it? How could I live without all this studying, and all this food and opportunity to talk to you all like this. How could I ever do it? He did not answer me, but I am telling you this to emphasize (one more time) the radical divide that exists between us and the traditional Pentecostal Church, which has a very simple message, which is there to help drug addicts. That is how it was when I came into the Church in the 70s. I am not exactly sure how it is going to play out, but we need to know that this anointing, if not this message, has to go to the poor, and not just the materially or the financially poor, but the poor of heart. It is a terrible world out there with hurting people that have given up on God or have never heard of Him. 10

11 There is one more thing that the Lord wants me to say, which is probably not going to be appreciated. Going back to our roles in life: our roles are supposed to line up with our bodies. You have heard me say many times that what we have in many families today is two men, and that the women of this generation are largely rejecting the female role. Many are biologically having children but they are going out and behaving like men in the world and turning the children over to nannies, if they have nannies for them at all. This movie, Victor, which took place in the 60s, was the story of a traditional Puerto Rican family that moved to New York. The father worked; the mother lived for the children. I am not telling anybody what to do; I am telling you what has happened to the culture. The children are being sacrificed on the altar of careers for the women. I am not telling you not to have a career, but you have to go before God and find out what He has for you. Maybe you can have a career and still be a mother. Maybe there are people that just need their consciousness raised. I am trying to raise your consciousness by telling you, Have a career, but do not forget that you are a mother, that you are a woman, and women have different potentials than men. Women have emotional potentials that most men do not have and they do not want to have because those emotional potentials would destroy their manhood. The traditional role of mother is that she lives for the children and the family. She is the stay, the foundation of the family. In this movie, the whole family revolves around the mother, and she saved this boy's life. Both the mother and the father loved him. They were heartbroken to see that he had become a heroin addict. But it was his mother, that would not give up on her son, that prayed, that believed the pastor, that believed God. The father was stoically silent and sad, but it was that mother's love, that female softness which is really hard to find today, that would not give up on that boy. She would not let go of God until He saved her son. That is the female role in culture. Can you have a career and still fulfill that role? I do not know. I am just telling you the way God set it up. The man's primary goal is providing. His worry is getting a job and providing for the family. The mother worries for the children. That is the traditional role. Where are all the mothers? Where are the mothers? Ladies, if you work and have a career, I hope that I have raised your consciousness. Do not forget your biological role is to be the nurturer. Do not become a man. Have a career, but do not become a man. Your children need you. Even your adult children need you. Even your married children need you. Do you know that your married children need you? Just because they are married does not mean they have all the wisdom and experience you have learned over the years. Your married children need you. Your grandchildren need you, and they need you in a way that the males in the family cannot meet those needs. The women are capable of meeting those needs if they decide to be women. If you can be a male at work and be a woman at home, praise the Lord. I am trying to raise your consciousness of what the tendency is to happen to women that have a career. Do not let it happen to you. I am not telling you not to work. I am reminding you of your God-given role in your life, in your family, and to your husband. A woman supports a man in a different way than a man supports a woman. Seek God. Men, if there are males out there reading this that are not fulfilling the male biological role: if you are letting your wife support you, if you are letting your wife rule the family, if you are letting your wife rule you, you need to seek God, and you need to have a conversation and a dialogue with your wife about fulfilling biological and natural roles through Jesus Christ in your family. The Lord wants to save this country. He wants to save the Church. He wants to save 11

12 humanity. He wants to save the world, and that is where it starts, with the individual fulfilling their proper role in the family. I have just told you the truth. I hope you are not mad at me. In Jesus' Name. What about you, Pastor Sheila? I am just like you. I have a daughter and two grandchildren. We are estranged right now. It would be my great pleasure to try to mother them if the Lord would give me that opportunity again. I believe that I can do it in Christ Jesus. Beginning with our message today, we have two introductory exhortations. The first one was a question from Xxxx which did not get to my ears, so I did not answer it. This will just take a minute. Her question is, Would observing the Jewish holidays and all of their laws that say, 'Do not eat this or touch that,' be included in what Paul is referring to; things we should not be doing if we are living out of Christ? If I understand Xxxx's question correctly, she is asking me, Is it wrong to be doing that? Every year I usually go to a Seder at the synagogue, or if somebody invites me to a Seder, I would go. I think that is what she is asking, Would it be wrong to do that? Xxxx, the answer is always the same, it has to do with your motive. Why do I go to the Seder at the synagogue? Because I am planted in this synagogue, and I have given the rabbi a couple of my books, or for whatever God wants to do with my being there. You know what I am? I am a stent. Unfortunately, when you get chemotherapy, or something like that, they will put a stent in your arm so that every time the doctor has to give you your medication, they do not have to go looking for a vein. They just have to connect to that port. That is why I go to that synagogue. I am God's connector in that synagogue, and I do not try to preach to them, or to control them, or influence them. I am not in any kind of deep prayer about them. I just fellowship there in the same manner that the rabbi, the leader of that group, has sent out missionaries to open Chabad houses all over the world. What is a Chabad house doing in Nigeria, practically down the street practically from Xxxx? I do not remember seeing one white person in the whole area (not that they cannot minister to black people, but basically they are a white organization). The people that call themselves Jews today, are white. Right? They are white. So, what is a Chabad house doing down the street from Xxxx in Nigeria? They are there just in case, for whatever the plan of Chabad is. I am not going to start talking about their plan today. I am there, in the Synagogue, just in case. I may be used, or I may never be used. I am just there. I am a missionary. I am just enjoying the people. I do not have any agenda in their midst. If God gives me an opportunity to say something or to give them a book, I am excited to do it. But when I go there, I go for the day because I am a part of that fellowship. I am going to be spending the day with the rabbi's wife. Why? Because I like her, and she suggested it. We are going to the Bronx Zoo. I like her, and I am going because I am a part of that fellowship. I have no agenda, that something has to happen when I am there. That does not exist. I am not a phony. If you ask one of them why is there a Chabad house in such-and-such a place, they will say, The rabbi sent them. That is why the Chabad is there. Why am I there? The Lord sent me, and whatever happens, happens. 12

13 It is not wrong for me to go to Seder, but if someone is going to Seder because they think it is required by God, that if they do not go they will be in wrong standing with God, or that going there will be a factor in their salvation, then they should not be doing it, because it is idolatry. I think that is pretty clear. I had a problem reviewing a Kabbalistic principle with you in Part 2 of this message about Adam's structure. I have it all written out, but I would like to tell you (without reading it) what my problem was and why I was getting stuck. This is really important. This is what happened: I read about the spiritual principle that I have been teaching you about, of the unification of the names of God (that is the name of the principle) in an article that used different terminology, and that was what confused me. I read about it in an excerpt from a book by MacGregor Mathers (if you are in the Kabbalistic community, it is a well-known book called The Kabbalah Unveiled). MacGregor Mathers wrote what we call Christian Kabbalah. The author is dead now. He wrote what we call Christian Kabbalah. The book is rooted largely in Catholicism, and I do not recommend that you read it. It is Catholic Kabbalah. I found an excerpt of it online, and it was talking about Arik Anpin, and that threw me off to the point that I could not even remember the name of Atik. Xxxx had to help me remember the name of Atik, and I got all confused with the Atik and the Arik and trying to relate it to what I had taught, and I got stumped, so I would like to deal with that right now. This is where I got stumped. The Lord Jesus Christ is the name of God. He is the one name of all of the Sefirot. For Jewish Kabbalah, each of the Sefirah has a name associated with it. It is either Chesed, Gevurah or Tiferet, etc. Every Sefirah has a name, and every Sefirah has an angel associated with it, an angel being an aspect of God that is capable of manifesting through that Sefirah alone. And when we have a manifestation of a particular aspect of God, take Jehovah for example, when it is not Jehovah Himself who comes down, He will send His angel. Say that it is me, I have authority, but I cannot go, so I send Xxxx, who calls up on the phone and says, This is Xxxx, and I am calling for Pastor Vitale. So Jehovah, or any of the names of God associated with the Sefirot, can send forth an angel of themselves to accomplish the goal. It is not Jehovah Himself, but His angel. The Scripture calls it the Angel of the Lord. You cannot say it is Jehovah, because it is not Jehovah. It is like His finger goes forth, an angel with a particular function to accomplish. Ever since Jesus was glorified, there are no longer 10 names of God associated with the Sefirot, there are no longer 10 angels associated with the Sefirot, and there are no longer 10 attributes associated with the Sefirot. Jesus is all of those things, and that is how I got confused. When the Supernal Mother manifests in the New Testament, she goes as Jesus, but Jesus has different manifestations of Himself. We now know that the Mother is the Spirit of Grace. If you read the New Testament, any Christian will tell you that all these spirits are a part of Jesus; they all come from Jesus. Jesus is the one name for all of the 10 Sefirot, but He also has attributes. The glorified Jesus will go as the Mother; He will go as the Father; He will go as loving kindness; He will go as judgment, etc. He is all 10 Sefirot, and that is what was confusing me. Who joins with Christ in us? For people that are spiritual male hogs that need all these details, it is not adequate to say that Jesus joins with Christ in us, because if Jesus joins with Christ in us, then who is going to come down and join with Jesus? That was exactly where I got stuck. We 13

14 spiritual male hogs cannot say it is Jesus that comes down and joins with Christ in us. We have to say it is Ze'ir Anpin. It is not all 10 Sefirot coming down. It is the six Sefirot of the Son within the name Jesus, and the name of the Son in the God World of Atzilut is Ze'ir Anpin. The Sefirot from Chesed through Yesod is the Son. That is what is coming down. But if I am speaking to a Christian who does not know anything about what I am talking about, I have to say, That is right. Jesus joins with Christ, and the average person would never ask another question. They would be satisfied. Jesus joins with Christ in me, and that makes Christ in me, Christ Jesus. Most people would never ask another question. But the next question is, Who is going to join with Christ Jesus? I mean, Jesus just joined with Christ in me to make me Christ Jesus, so now who is going to join with Jesus? Spiritual male hogs cannot think in those terms. They have to say Ze'ir Anpin joined with Christ in me, and then we have to say that Chesed of Ze'ir Anpin joins with Jesus, the Supernal Mother. We are actually dealing with an inner dimension of the name Jesus. When you want to get as technical as we are getting, if you say Jesus, Jesus is everything. Well, Jesus joins with Christ, then how can Christ join with the Mother? Confusion. So, we need to deal with the inner dimension, the names of the Sefirot. Jesus can appear to us as a single Sefirah, or any combination of the Sefirot that He wants to, and every time He does it, we have to say, it was Jesus Chesed that just did this, or, it was Jesus Gevurah that just did that. It is sort of the same principle that we find in the Old Testament, and most people would never mention it, but I mention it all the time, that the word Lord is usually Jehovah. But you will find in some instances that Lord is a translation of Adonai. It will say LORD Jehovah or something like that. I may not have that exactly right, but the Hebrew word Jehovah appears along with the Hebrew word Adonai: Jehovah Adonai. It means that Jehovah, the name of God associated with the third degree of power, is in unification with Adonai, which is the name of God associated with Malkhut. It is a unification of an aspect of Jehovah (the third degree of power) with Malkhut to produce a particular degree of power, to accomplish the will of God through that person, in that instance. Adonai is the name of God associated with Malkhut. It is always associated with a person. It is the power of God being revealed through a person. It is an aspect, a finger, an angel name of Jehovah coming out and joining with Adonai, which is Christ in me. It is another way of saying, The Lord Jesus joins with Christ in me. It is Old Testament language. PASTOR VITALE: Did I answer that for you? That is good. COMMENT: Yes, Amen. It is very good that you let me know. I will never forget the day I was talking about Elijah, and five of you jumped on me, but I thank God for it, because whenever I ask the Lord, we all learn something. I was one of those people that never asked, How come? The Lord said it to me, I wrote it down and preached it you, and I never asked, How come? But you all asked, How come? We are supposed to be asking questions. That is what they used to teach in college, to have an inquiring mind. Now they just indoctrinate you. Very sad. So, I just told you about the second issue. I will read you what I have written down here, just to make sure I got everything. The problem I had in explaining this in Part 1 of this message arose out of my failure to apply the following understanding about the spiritual function of the Lord 14
