Perfectly Perfect
Pt 4 - The Seed of Faith and Weakness of Flesh
By Lawrence DeMetrius
Within every born-again believer abides the Seed of Faith. The Seed of Faith is what initiates and maintains their familial relationship with Yahweh as SONS.
Apostle John writes,
He <Christ> came unto His Own, and His Own received Him not.
But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
[St Jn 1:11-13]
The Seed of Faith is what Yahweh perfects within each of HIS sons.
Apostle Paul writes,
For whom HE <Yahweh> did foreknow, HE also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of HIS Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brethren.
[Rm 8:29]
The Seed of Faith is the source of all divine insight. The Lord Jesus said,
I am the light of the world: he that followeth ME shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
[Jn 8:12, 31, 32, 36]
As exemplified in Job’s Wilderness Experience, no matter the challenges from satanic powers, DEVILS are NEVER permitted to TOUCH the SOUL of Yahweh’s sons.
The Old Testament notes,
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he <Job> hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD <with limited authority to challenge Job by diminishing his assets>.
And the LORD said unto Satan Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life <with limited authority to challenge Job by negatively affecting the health of his physical body>.
[Job 1:12; 2:6]
Regarding the limitations of satanic powers to challenge Yahweh’s Elect Apostle Paul writes,
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, WHO will NOT suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
[I Cor 10:13]
Regarding the limited authority of satanic powers to challenge the sons of God Apostle John writes,
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and the wicked one <Lucifer and his allies> toucheth him not.
[I Jn 5:18]
In light of insight provisioned regarding the limited authority of satanic powers to challenge Yahweh Worshipers, it is clearly evident that the Seed of Faith is purposed to remain securely in place, within the souls of all who remain wholeheartedly subject to Yahweh through Christ Who is the Seed of Faith, Who said,
If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and WE will come unto him, and make OUR abode with him.
He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings: and the word which ye hear is not Mine but the Father’s which sent Me.
[Jn 14: 23, 24]
I am the Vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in ME, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.
If a man abide NOT in Me, he IS cast forth as a branch, and IS withered <already condemned>; and men <angels of punishment> gather them, and cast them into the fire <the Second Death and everlasting lake of fire>, and they ARE burned <already condemned to the Second Death>.
Ye are My friends, IF ye do whatsoever I command you.
Ye have not chosen ME, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that, ye should go and bring forth much fruit, and that your fruit should remain:
[Jn 15: 5, 6, 14, 16a]
I pray for them: I pray NOT for the world, but for them which THOU hast given Me; for they are THINE.
and all Mine are THINE, and THINE are Mine; and I am glorified in them.
I pray NOT that THOU shouldest take them out of the world, but that THOU shouldest keep them from the evil <that rules the dark and condemned world>.
[Jn 17: 9, 10, 15]
Apostle John writes,
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin <as unregenerate sinners do>; for HIS <Yahweh’s> Seed <Christ> remaineth in him <the born-again believer>: and he cannot sin <be enslaved to sin>, because he is born of God.
[I Jn 3:9]
The Weakness of Flesh
Since satanic forces cannot confiscate Christ, Who is the Seed of Faith from one’s inner being, they have to somehow persuade them to doubt and disgard Him and His Strength abiding therein. In short, satanic powers are solely focused on seducing mortals into disobeying GOD’S directives, just as Lucifer did Eden.
As exemplified in Christ’s Wilderness Experience, they only come with temptations they believe will be most effective and at times when their prospects appear to be most vulnerable. Demonic powers come from a strategic order and know their time to rage against the children of earth is limited. Therefore, they only war against them with stratagem they believe will kill, steal, and destroy their holistic wellbeing.
This is the only reason why they engage mortals, which thing they are divinely tasked to do to some degree every day.
Thus, the Lord Jesus said,
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
[Mt 6:34]
In this world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
[Jn 16:33b]
Apostle John writes,
Ye are of God, little children, and HAVE <already> overcome them <satanic forces>: <Why?> BECAUSE greater is HE <Christ the Seed of Faith> that is in you, than he that is in the world.
[I Jn 4:4]
Apostle James writes,
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect <spiritually mature> and entire <whole in Christ>, wanting <lacking> nothing <Yahweh desires within your spirit>.
[Jam 1:2-4]
For many generations it has been known that EVIL SPIRITS are offspring of 200 Angelic Hosts who willingly left their heavenly estates to commit great violations with children of the earth. Enoch writes of these demons, their offspring and their divinely delegated purpose on earth.
Per Yahweh’s instructions to Enoch regarding he writes,
Fear not, Enoch, thou RIGHTEOUS MAN and SCRIBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:
approach hither and hear My voice. And go, say to the Watchers of heaven, who have sent thee to intercede for them: You should intercede for men, and not men for you:
Wherefore have ye left the high, holy, and eternal heaven, and lain with women, and defiled yourselves with the daughters of men and taken to yourselves wives, and done like the children of earth, and begotten giants as your sons.
And though ye were holy, spiritual, living the eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, and have begotten children with the blood of flesh, and, as the children of men, have lusted after flesh and blood as those also do who die and perish. Therefore have I given them wives also that they might impregnate them, and beget children by them, that thus nothing might be wanting to them on earth.
But you were formerly spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world. And therefore I have not appointed wives for you; for as for the spiritual ones of the heaven, in heaven is their dwelling.
And now, the giants who are produced from the SPIRITS <angelic beings> and FLESH <mortal beings>, shall be called EVIL SPIRITS upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling.
EVIL SPIRITS have proceeded from THEIR bodies <parents of the giants/evil spirits>; because they are born from men and from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; THEY <the mutant offspring> shall be EVIL SPIRITS on earth, and EVIL SPIRITS shall THEY be called.
As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born <or generated> upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling. And the SPIRITS OF THE GIANTS afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, but nevertheless hunger and thirst, and cause offences. AND THESE SPIRITS shall rise up against the children of men and against the women <the 200 women who copulated with the fallen angels, now called sirens> because they have proceeded from them.
[Eno 15]
From the day of the slaughter and destruction and death of the <first> giants from THE SOULS of whose flesh THE SPIRITS <evil spirits>, having gone forth, shall destroy without incurring judgment, thus shall THEY destroy until the day of the consummation, the great judgment in which the age shall be consummated <The Final Day of Judgment>.
[Eno 16:1, 2]
And Uriel said to me: Here shall stand the angels who have connected themselves with women, and THEIR SPIRITS <which are those of their slain giant offspring> assuming many different forms are defiling mankind and shall lead them astray into sacrificing to DEMONS <their fallen fathers> as gods…here they shall stand, till the day of the great judgment in which they shall be judged till they are made an end of. And the women also of the angels who went astray shall become SIRENS.
And I, Enoch, alone saw the vision, the ends of all things: and NO MAN shall see AS I HAVE SEEN.
[Eno 19]
Per The Book of Jasher, Lucifer is known as MASTEMA who requested and was granted of Yahweh to rule over 10% OF EVIL SPIRITS generated by the 200 angelic hosts, who willing left their heavenly estates to commit great violations of divine order. Of these Jasher writes,
And in the third week of this Jubilee the unclean DEMONS began to lead astray the children of the sons of Noah; and to make to err and destroy them.
And the sons of Noah came to Noah their father, and they told him concerning the DEMONS which were, leading astray and blinding and slaying his sons’ sons.
And he prayed before THE LORD his God, and said: God of the spirits of all flesh, WHO hast shown mercy unto me, and hast saved me and my sons from the water of the flood, and hast not caused me to perish as THOU didst the sons of perdition;
For THY grace hath been great towards me, and great hath been THY mercy to my soul; let THY grace be lift up upon my sons, and let not WICKED SPIRITS rule over them lest they should destroy them from the earth.
But do THOU bless me and my sons, that we may increase and multiply and replenish the earth.
And THOU knowest how THY WATCHERS, THE FATHERS OF THESE SPIRITS acted in my day: and as for THESE SPIRITS WHICH ARE LIVING, imprison them and hold them fast in the place of condemnation, and let them not bring destruction on the sons of THY servant, my God; for THESE <evil spirits> ARE MALIGNANT, and CREATED IN ORDER TO DESTROY.
And let THEM not rule over the spirits of the living; for THOU ALONE canst exercise dominion over THEM. And let THEM not have power over THE SONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS from henceforth and forevermore.
And the LORD our God bade us to bind all.
And the chief of the <evil> SPIRITS, Mastema, came and said: “LORD, CREATOR, let some of THEM remain before me, and let THEM hearken to my voice, and do all that I shall say unto THEM; for if some of THEM are not left to me, I shall not be able to execute the power of MY WILL on the sons of men; FOR THESE ARE FOR CORRUPTION AND LEADING ASTRAY BEFORE MY JUDGMENT, for great is the wickedness of the sons of men.”
And HE <Yahweh> said: LET THE TENTH PART OF THEM REMAIN BEFORE HIM <Lucifer>, AND LET NINE PARTS DESCEND INTO THE PLACE OF CONDEMNATION.”
[Jash 10: 1-9]
