Heaven and Hell
My God, my God, how did a people who sat so high come down so low? To become subjects in the world of his adversary.
“Hear o heavens, and give ear O earth: for the Lord hath spoken. I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
A sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
Why should ye be stricken anymore? Ye will revolt more and more; the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it, but wounds, and bruises and putrefying sores. They have not been closed neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.”
Isaiah 1:2-6
What seemed to be impossible did happen; the fall came. The Sons of God moved backward: a complete 180 degrees just as the prophet stated. In place of the “God Mind” there came a mind so wicked that it could be compared with a cancerous, running sore. Instead of Heaven, there was hell and in place of the surroundings that were paradise, there came the flaming fire of the ghetto. The beautiful flower had withered; the strength of the Sons had dried up, and all that passed by mocked and jeered; “Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” Thereby, the Sons of God fell away from their heavenly Father into the hands of lust, deception and iniquity. They lost sight of “inner beauty,” the beauty of the soul. The power of the spiritual sense and vision was taken away. They could only see with the carnal eye of the flesh. They were now like their new master satan, the great deceiver.
There was a time when the sons could see unto the heavens, for they were free to roam the high places of God. The Sons were not bound by the Spirit of Error. Their spiritual eye was open; they could see all things. After the fall of the Sons, their dominion was taken away, and in place of the collective “ God Mind,” there were left as a sign, only a few of those who could still manifest the former natural attributes of the Holy people.
There was always an ensign or reminder of the former greatness. There were enough signs to remind us that God had not forgotten us, although we had forgotten Him. The seers, the prophets, the judges and the great lawgivers were all a continuous reminder of former glory. Isaiah, the prophet, wrote: “I and the children whom thou hast given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts.” (Isaiah 8:18)
They reminded us through word and deed that we are now governed by those very forces which we once controlled. There was a time when no negative force could harm us, for we were the former of all things. But now in our low, hellish existence, the waters will drown us, the strong winds will destroy us, the earth will not yield her increase, the sun will scorch us, the animals will attack us, and the fowl of Heaven do fear us so they sing no pleasant tune unto us.
Your power and dominion have faded away and are all but forgotten. The memories of the power of your forefathers have purposely been destroyed. You can no longer recall that Noah brought the rain; that Moses commanded the dark to remain over Egypt, ordered the hail to fall, summoned the locusts and sent them away.
Before the invasion of the minds of Godly men by satan, these were common exploits by the Sons of God. You never consider that Moses stopped the flow of the Red Sea and divided the waters from the waters; that Joshua, his commander and successor performed the same feat at the River Jordon. The great fish could not consume Jonah. The ravens fed Elijah, who also held back the rain for three years; then, at his command, it came. Samson manifested the strength of a god; Solomon the wisdom of the Lord. Jesus walked on the water as on dry land, and stilled the tempest. What was the prophet and the Son of God, Jesus, controlling? He was controlling and inner element of his composition: wind, spirit, his very soul. He was, in essence, the wind! It was no great task for him; indeed it was small one, for he said, “These things and many more shall ye do if ye believe on me.” He was the Word spoken into the wind. He was the Son of the living God.
But fallen sons of God said he was a blasphemer and insane. Why? It was because they looked upon him with the natural eye. There satan hid, deceiving their minds, blinding them to the Will of God. They could only see a man, for the Spirit of Error possessed them. Jesus said,” “They know not what they do.” He knew that they were not their own, as also he knew that the will that they wrought was not the will of their own.
Space will not allow the detailing of the many exploits of the sons of God in their heavenly state. The point that must be made here is that these were not always isolated occurrences, miracles; these were the ordinary powers of the Sons of God. They became rare manifestations only because the people turned away from God, His authority and power. Now the Sons are trapped, helpless in hell, buried among the dead. They are weak before their enemies because they do not know the source of their strength, much less how to manifest it. The devil has invaded the high place, disguised himself as an angel of light and installed the Spirit of Error as the ruler. This spirit of error knows no limitations or bounds in its quest to bind and destroy the Saints and Elect of the Kingdom of the Most High God. We must, therefore, become as serious in our efforts to combat against evil and destruction.
Man has become unbalanced in his acceptance of such common statements as “No one is perfect,” or “Everyone has some good in them.” What is meant by these statements? To say that “everyone has some good in them” is to imply subtly that we accept the evil in them also; that “no one is perfect” is to insist upon the acceptance of imperfection. The prevailing thought in the world today is that on one can do what is right! Have you once considered why these thoughts prevail? It is simply that in the world of satan, no one is allowed to feel that he can meet the high standards of God. This mentality is the opposite of the Truth in God.
The adversary of God has succeeded in convincing the world that righteousness is full of unwarranted hardships. The deceived generation is as determined to serve satan as they are to disobey God. The deceived are the prey; they suffer continuously. Satan has fooled the “inner man” within the potential saints of the Most High God, causing them to even overrule the spirit within them which was subject unto the Will of God.
The Holy Spirit, which is from the Most High, will not dwell in an unclean house. The house is the soul. When the mind is dedicated to the Spirit of Error or evil, the Holy Spirit then leaves that body because it will not remain in the habitation of evil. If the brain is unclean and cluttered from the educational and intellectual doctrines of the world and its institutions (which is, consequently, the dogma of the devil), then the Holy Spirit, which controls all spiritual matter, will find no resting place in that body or mind. In order for mind and body to be occupied by the Holy Spirit you would first have to undergo a cleansing process.
Neither do men put new wine into old bottle: else the bottle break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottle perish: but they put new wine into new bottle, and both are preserved.
Mathew 9:17
Satan and all of his dogmatic doctrines have to be cast from the minds of the Sons of God. The everlasting light of God and His Truth must be put there instead, which will expose all of the dark doctrines of the devil. Consequently, we have come to know there is a war that has to be fought in the high, elevated place – the “God Mind,” or in heaven.
Satan also had inner vision of great proportions, and was able to understand prophecy; but satan was disguised as truth, ignorance disguised as wisdom, and regression disguised as progress. His success depended upon the existence of no comparisons or alternatives. Therefore, even greater than the physical bondage of the Sons of God, is the mental bondage.
Before satan can capture a soul, he must first conquer the mind and then the body. Thus, he deceived the people of God and caused them to commit iniquity within their temples, “the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit” whose throne is the high, elevated place of the mind. Heaven, little children, is not the place beyond the clouds as taught by slave-oriented Christianity. The Heaven beyond the clouds where you go after death, complete with pearly gates and everlasting life, originated in Roman doctrine and Greek mythology. These false concepts of Heaven, sadly enough, are deeply rooted in the minds of the Holy people.
The old dragon, called Lucifer, made you ignorant of God. Lucifer taught that you would die and go to Heaven, although in all your scriptural reading, death has never been connected with ascension. In death you always descend. You don’t go up; you go down. No one dies and goes to Heaven; you die and go to hell or to the grave, and if you are not resurrected, that is where you remain! Everything in God’s plan is about life. Jesus said, “God is the God of the living, and not the dead.” To what God are you referring when you state that all of the dead people go to Him? Furthermore, who is it that has bequeathed all of the graveyards unto the Almighty? Is it so hard to discern that this concept of dying and going to Heaven is an unholy lie?
When Israel was cast away from God, it was because they had become engulfed in iniquity. Their sins had become so great that a total moral rebirth was required. Only then would their iniquity be purged. Being cast away was their death in God. Their reconciliation would be a rising from the graves that lie among the wicked nations that worship no the Living God. Upon their return to God, they would accept a high and Holy way of life; it will be a life pertaining to Heaven- a heavenly life. When Jesus of Nazareth said, “You must be born again,” he meant Nicodemus had to die in the world, that he might live in God. Nicodemus had to actually die, (reject the old teachings or mentality), in order that he might, afterward, receive the spirit of God.
I must, in God’s name, lay bare your minds expose your thoughts and show forth their origins in order that you may understand. Those separated from the Truth of God are either knowingly or unknowingly linked to the mind of satan. Those who worship the devil are spiritually dead in God. The influence of devil worship is everywhere. Satan has so blinded the minds of the Sons of God that now the message of God and the messengers of God appear strange and foolish in this spiritually darkened world. Jesus spoke and said “The prince of this world (devil) cometh and I have nothing with him” Again, he said “he was in the world and the world knew him not How could one be in the world and the world not know him? Surely, Jesus would have to have been physically different or have borne a great spiritual unlikeness to the other inhabitants of the world in order to rate such description. He spoke further, saying: “I came unto my own, but they rejected me.” Who were his own and why did they reject him? The Sons of God had fallen unto such a low state until they did not even recognize one of their own nor did they understand Jesus’ simple testimony.
Thus, in the fallen Sons of God are the words of Isaiah the prophet fulfilled. They have eyes, but they are carnal so they see not the vision or the Plan of God. They have ears, but they hear not the doctrine of salvation. The Sons of God now are like our forefathers in the days of the advent of Jesus. They have fallen to a very low state. They then, as now, were looking for a great physical deliverer to come riding in to crush the Romans. They did not understand that the problem was spiritual. The first war to be fought is a mental war, a war in the High, Holy Heaven of their minds. Know ye not that there has to be thought before substance? Right minds will bring about right conclusions. Your wrong, devil-oriented thought patterns have kept you a prisoner to your adversary. You are trying to use the adversary’s mind against himself. The adversary has not equipped you to defeat him; neither has he given you the sense needed to outsmart him.
When Jesus came, the Word of God had been abused misused and Hellenized (made Greek in character) to such an extent that even basic truth was seen and taken out of context. I recall that Jesus said, “Ye worship ye know not what. We know what we worship; for salvation is of (with) the Jews (Israelites).” There is so much in those words that must be understood. What Jesus was actually saying is that salvation is to be found within the framework of the teachings and instructions given to the Children of Israel. Jesus believed and taught that and only that. He gave credence only to those teachings. From the beginning he stated, “I have not come to destroy the law and prophecies but to fulfill.” When he saw the many factions and doctrines, he was amazed that something so simple could be made so complicated. Thus he stated, “You don’t know what you’re worshipping.” The same thing exists at this time among the Holy people of God who are trapped in the dispensation of the captivity in North America (Babylon). The resurrected Sons of God, the African Hebrew Israelites, have come to the world, but the world does not recognize them, for they come not with the accepted plan of salvation and freedom. Moreover, they were not friends with the prince of this world (satan).
The foremost problem in the time of Jesus was not the physical presence of the Romans, as now the foremost problem is not the physical presence of the Europeans. The apex of the problem is the spiritual presence of satan, who possesses the minds of the Holy people. It sounded strange when Jesus continued to attack, first of all the people’s understanding of God’s doctrine. The first fight was with their captive, demon-possessed minds. These minds had to be taught to “seek ye first the Kingdom (God Mind) and its righteousness, and then all other things shall be added unto you.” Before we can envision any spiritual matters there has to be a vision which brings into focus truth, justice, mercy, peace, love, compassion and a kingdom wherein there is wisdom and understanding of all matters. Total love, submission and obedience to the Will of God Almighty ties a knot and seals the bond that interlocks and interweaves spirit to spirit and God Almighty to His Sons.
A comprehensive study of anything cannot be done without discipline of the mind. Discipline of the mind cannot be attained without inner vision. The coming of the Kingdom of God manifests the tools which allow you to take apart and investigate every faculty of your mind. This investigation could not be made with a carnal mind possessed by satan – a mind investigating itself with itself. This investigation could only be carried out upon the return of the “God Mind.” Only the living know the dead; only the destroyer knows the destruction. Initially, the (fallen) Sons of God neither recognized nor understood the doctrine taught by Jesus of Nazareth, because the faculties of god were inactive in their minds. God commanded them to follow Him by faith, give Him a chance, the understanding would come. God would resurrect the “God Mind” causing a new birth and a new way of life. Their resurrection would be their coming out of the world. The world would not recognize the resurrected Saints of God, because they would no longer be serving the interests of the world, automatically making the Saints outcasts, as are all seekers of another place, in this case seeker of another world whose builder and maker is God.
As the Sons of God were sent to gather His sheep and to make war with the dragon, they were admonished to keep the vision of the Kingdom of God before them, and keep their inner spiritual senses attuned to God; for if it were possible, the devil would deceive even the very elect. The Plan of Redemption calls for a redefining of all things instituted during the captivity, with the understanding that these things were given to perpetuate our captivity. We must bring all things to be judged, evaluated, maintained or discarded. Where people have been living a lie, it is understandable that only the Truth shall set them free. The minds of the Holy People must be washed, rinsed and disinfected of the impurities of sin and thousands of years of adverse thoughts and action imposed upon them by satan, the arch enemy of God, in order for them to ascend from the hellish world of their adversary and re-enter the High, Holy and lofty mountain of the Most High God.
You must come down from the mythical Heaven in order that you may ascend again to the Heaven of Truth. The Old Deceiver has ploughed up the way that leadeth back unto our God, but has left broad the way that leadeth unto destruction. He has deceived the whole world.
The world today is perishing in its sins, because God is bringing every work into judgment. Why has it been so important to change the Truth of God? Why turn your minds away from your surroundings? Your mind has been made your enemy, because it no longer discerns Truth. You are under the total influence of the Spirit of Error; your ears are dull; your heart is as a stone with no feeling or desire to search out the World of God and follow His messengers. You are swift to understand evil, but slow to comprehend what is right. These are the reasons why this “war in heaven” has to be fought.
It seems rather ironic that supposedly religious people could believe so many things that simply have no Biblical or prophetic origin. Yet, they simultaneously reject as being false, the true written word of the Law and the prophecies of God which were worshipped by their Saviour. There is no Biblical basis for the belief of the “die-and-go-to-Heaven” lie.
We must know the origin and author of these doctrines of lies: he who has established himself as the definer of the Word of God, who dresses himself in the sheep’s clothing of religion, saying daily “God, God, God,” but whose every work is continuously evil. We were to know satan by his works: “by their fruits we shall know them.”
What should we call the tree which produced an economic system which keeps agricultural produce at a stable, yet exorbitant price by destroying tons of excess food while people starve? What should we call the tree which has produced the atomic bomb, the hydrogen bomb, the nitrogen bomb, the neutron bomb, and has accumulated enough weapons to destroy the entire planet many times over yet still manufactures more?
Someone continues to bring forth evil fruit, saying that it is alright when it is all wrong; saying it is edible when it is poisonous; saying that it is God when it is the devil. How do we know? By his fruits you shall know him! The Sons of God have been deceived, yet they continue to cling unto those things that are wicked and not of the Spirit of the Most High God.
The natural eye, without spiritual sense, is very deceptive! If you allow yourselves to become subject to the natural eye, given unto the desires of it, or further be absorbed by the sights which you see, then, verily ye shall be destroyed, for the inner mind is for salvation. Insight means to look further than that which is observed and understood by the carnal mind under the influence of Error. In God’s Plan of Redemption, vision is a prerequisite; for the Most High, working by signs and standards, shall bring into fullness the salvation of His chosen people .
There are always two immutable things: a thought or vision (the spiritual) which is soon followed by the substance of that thought or vision (the physical). The first destruction of America is the spiritual destruction which is seen with the spiritual senses of the “God Mind.” This destruction must be seen in a spiritual vision in order that men might be saved by coming out of that world. It has to be preached and acted upon just as if the event was actually taking place. You recall that Noah moved by faith to build the ark many years prior to the sighting of the first rain. Yet, his spiritual vision (coupled with his faith and works), enabled him to escape the coming destruction.
The angel of God comes heralding, with a loud voice (a voice of authority), “Babylon the Great (America) has fallen, has fallen”—that is to say, has been destroyed. (Revelation 18:1-2) The angel then describes the land after the utter destruction as being a place of only evil – “the habitation of devils and foul spirits and all unclean contaminated) things” – meaning clearly and emphatically that after the physical destruction, there will be nothing or no one to save. Those seeking salvation will be saved during the first destruction – the spiritual destruction. How could you possibly think, that as the planes are roaring overhead and nuclear weapons are raining down, that a plan of salvation could be activated? What could be said or done at the time? You must believe by faith: you must see things even before they appear.
God makes known His plans to His servants, who then warn the people of the apparent danger and give instructions as to what they must do to escape the wrath of God Almighty.
What is it that has signaled the imminent destruction of America? The revelator states quite clearly, “Her sins have reached unto Heaven” – a continuous, multiplicity of sins against God, His creation and His people. At the time when the angel is preaching that the kingdom of this worlds order has been destroyed, the people are still there. Therefore he states, “Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues (or physical destruction).” Every great destruction is preceded by the warnings of the prophets or angel (messengers) of God. As it is written, the choice of life and death has been put before the people in order that they may decide. If the wrong choice is made, consequently, that price has to be paid. He that has ears to hear let him hear.
The source of the great damage which has been done to the people of God is in the mind. It is here that all things begin or end. It is here that men die and it is here that the resurrection must take place.
Let us now journey back to the days of the prophets to receive and understand the scriptural references to Heaven. In Heaven, you would expect to find the people in possession of his mind of God. You will know that they possess the mind of God by the fruits of their thought continuously showing forth the attributes of God as they love and live in harmony with His Creation.
(Excerpts from “God, the Blackman and Truth” by Ben Ammi)
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;)
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”
II Corinthians 10:3-6
