From Apostle Patricia A. Bradford, The Rising Above Ministry (RAM), Memphis pbradfordm@aol.com
There’s something about a crown, about being given a crown, one so real, so authentic, that in my flesh it’s to weigh me down mightily, the redeem of Christ Jesus, of bearing the Crown of Righteousness, mightily on the map 11/27/2010
Dear Brother Swaggart 11/29/2010
-I was watching a recorded episode of Easter camp meeting 2010 not too long ago, the young minister Bob Cornell was preaching, no make that teaching. Although this was actually a Sunday school class I’ve never seen a Sunday school class where the class itself isn’t to participate. Anyway he was teaching on what your ministry has made out to be the most important scripture in the bible, Roman’s 6:1, 2nd verses.
-It wasn’t long before he was jumping up and down rather sporadically screaming repeatedly, WE’RE DEAD, WE’RE DEAD, WE’RE DEAD! He spent an hour or more explaining to the class how we’re all dead from sin by Christ’s crucifixion, how the old man is therefore dead, yet it is also alive and subject to a life of sin. Justly it is as well dead, as Christ is dead and buried yet is it also alive, sin that is, it was very confusing.
-I kept waiting for him to elaborate on the point how on the road to Damascus Saul died, and after he died to the flesh and became spirit, he rose up Paul. This of course mean Saul, the old man, the old sin nature would never be seen or heard of again, as he would soon by Christ’s cross (Ananias) be just as buried as dead, for Jesus would show him what great things he was suffer for the Cross sake.
-This is the example of Jesus on the cross, when Jesus was crucified, being sin for us, and thus sin suffering the identical faith as this redemptive Christ. Surely when Jesus rose three days later the stain of sin for all believers was dead, and he was a new creature, the old Jesus who’d become sin for mankind was now risen anew and showing Himself in a newness of life and light, he’d in all that is divine been glorified.
-This is the same transformation that is supposed to happen to the repentant of Christ’s cross, that once they die, once they realize Christ as savior and Lord, the old disintegrate into a newness, not an inventiveness of flesh as its dead but a newness of spirit. I’ve been writing you this paper for weeks now, I made up my mind I would write you this morning, only just now finding the time, perfect timing I may add. Pretty soon passing by a viewing of your broadcast, The Message Of The Cross did I observed your teaching especially about the Apostle Paul and how it was yet very concerning. You and your panel have to realize brother Swaggart, this wasn’t Saul any more, it was rarely Paul, it was predominately the Holy Spirit, that at our repentance, and so on at our surrender they’ll to kill us off and make us not just Christ-like, but holy spirits.
-Ask yourself this question, does God want to put as much of Himself in each of us, as he did with Christ Jesus the Lord? Before you answer, remember Jesus alone was, is and shall for all eternity be God’s example of the form of righteousness this Supreme Father want us to be. When you say we can’t live a sinless life, are you in effect saying we can’t be like Jesus Christ? Jesus wasn’t simply a doer of the word of God, he became the word of God unto all those who would believe and receive, this living word, testament of God’s coming kingdom. Isn’t this why it is impressed upon the believer mightily to die, and when he’s done all to die, die, as in presenting himself as a living sacrifice. One holy and acceptable unto God which is his reasonable service, isn’t this why this apostle begged us to forsake, even abandon our worldly selves, as it’s the only way sinless flesh can be altered faithfully, mindfully and heartily into a hallowed Spirit?
-Is this not the transformation that was taking place as a now battered and no doubt confused Pharisee sat blind for days wondering what had become of his world? He loved God, and had done all he’d done in service to God, or was it himself and self righteousness he was to serve the more? Frightfully, yet gloriously how had he missed the very Lord he’d served most of his life, missed to the point he’d found himself fighting and warring against the very God he was to serve? Though now a new war was festering in his members, a war between life and life eternal, as so between law and spirit, as so Holy Spirit and sinful flesh. Evenly, that by a grace astronomical God himself had put on flesh, even the living word, the light of life and now dwelled among them in the person and personality of Jesus the Christ whom his religious order had crucified, persecuting His followers likewise.
-Apparently, the more we forget those things which are behind us, the old way, thoughts, works of the flesh, (fleshly mind, heart), the more we surrender our members over to the spirit, the more we die to self seeking, the more we die to the flesh. Just as so as we explain to the people the old man is dead because of Christ’s Cross, we need to explain how the believer is then greatly removed by the empowerment of the Holy Ghost on to spirit, even a sacred essence of truth and grace. This is what Jesus was explaining to the religious leader Nicodemus, think about what Jesus was saying, he was in no way describing a human being. No, he was describing a holy spirit, ‘the wind bloweth where you listeth and no man can tell from whence it come or to where it goes, so is everyone born again (overtaken, taken over of the Holy Spirit.
-This Father Swaggart is why there’s so much fumbling and bumbling about, the repentant reconcile themselves along Christs’ cross back to the Supreme Father. This admission alone begin such the divine research after those with just as sincere hearts and faithfulness that the Holy Spirit is to then possess our, their spirits yielded flesh transforming them into a wonderful artistry of Jesus Christ. Herein the believer just don’t get this, as those who’re to act as their teachers, their instructor and earth bound embodiment, as so just don’t get it. They’re spirits trying to control the flesh, instead of those having loosed themselves from the grip o f the world, of the flesh they’re now heaven bound Holy Spirits. You are no longer yourself, you haven’t just lost your mind, but your heart, your way of thinking, this present world train of thought and reasoning and comprehension, you as the Christ Lord is bound for a glory above and beyond any description.
-I brother Swaggart left the world long before I found Jesus Christ, again my spouse as my witness, not being able to understand what, why? From then on knowing my life just wasn’t right, did I abandoned the world long before I came into the knowledge of my Lord, now to rid this condemned life, this lineage of sin breaking after the salvation of all people God’s heart. This mean the Holy Spirits were working in my life, on my behalf and of the souls of men long before I comprehended the righteousness of God. Being blind of spiritual things as well, the man I would later marry, my manner of (Ananias) brought me the truth of Christ’s gospel, and I out right refused it.
-I knew I lived a virtually worthless life, that all people, from every walk of life on this planet not acknowledging Jesus as Lord live such valueless lives. I even knew they, even I was on my way to hell, how I knew this without knowing Jesus was yet evidence Holy Spirits were already rearranging my mind, even my heart/soul into that of God’s will. That by Psalm 66:18, this messenger quoted to me, my most important scripture passage, I knew, and fully understood if I continue to honor, to obey, to safeguard sin (the lineage of the first Adam) in my heart, in my life, the Lord Father God, (Jesus, the celestial espousal) could not, and thus would not hear me, nor know me and this revelation alone converted me to Christ’s Cross.”
Jesus Christ Of Nazareth (JCON)
-That which is born of the flesh is flesh, that which is born (born-again) of the spirit is spirit, marvel not that I said unto thee you must me born-again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth; so is everyone that is born of the spirit JCON
-Don’t you see? Telling the believer they’re crucified with Christ and dead to sin without explaining how they’re to go on and become holy spirits only leave them in some type of spiritual limbo at a convenient occasion to continue in sin. This si why at explaining to my sister, a fifty year old how intercourse out of marriage is sin, her response was and I quote, yeah, but everybody does it, and I said, yeah, but I can't, it's not of God. Do you know how many supposedly Christian find me strange because I take the things, the word of God literally and thus seriously, again they think me strange and actually hate me for it, this was the oddity Nicodemus found in Christ's Jesus, it wasn't so much his gifts, but his holiness and sanctification.
-Of course this curious leader then asked, how can a man be re-born, can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born? No, but he can of his own free will, unto Christ’s bloody cross, die to self, to sin and rise again a sacred spirit, that the Holy Spirit is to then shape him and mold him into a divine being of the Heavenly Host. If you keep telling people only that the old man of sin is more than dead, that it’s as well buried, they’re going to keep asking wherein am I dead, when I’m very much alive, when my flesh is? Little do they realize self modification is in their knees, their tongues and confessions of reconciliation by Christ's Cross, they must live only to by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, die daily, See. Gal. 2:20, 21
I do not frustrate (grieve) the grace (righteousness) of God: for if righteousness come by the law (condemned flesh), the Christ (Jesus) the sinless substitute is dead in vain, (of dead works). Gal. 2:21
-They have to know once they’re dead to sin, there’s only one purpose for the flesh, the heart is to be a temple of God yes, but more so to be a tool unto this Heavenly Father manner of faithfulness. All with divine purpose that we all become seeds of righteousness that is sown into the hearts and mind of the unbelievers unto repentance and salvation. Although to truly comprehend this order we’re brought to a very stinging, even worrisome reality, how the middle wall of partition Jesus tore down with or by his cross, hath build itself up an even more detriment to Christ’s people. A very shrewd illusionist at bruising this Holy one’s heel, I know those who say they’re apostles (they’re Jesus the Christ’s, even his church) and they are not.
-So has thou them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, (controlling spirits), which thing I hate. That even as God’s people assembly themselves in and throughout these various worship houses, if Jesus the Christ is picture knocking on the church doors, then the Holy Spirit is very well feature knocking on the windows of Sunday and bible school classes. Truly as organized Christianity and mourning benches has taken the place of alters of repentance and reconciliation, of Jesus Christ, surely bible schools have as well replaced the purpose of the Holy Spirit, the anointed thereof word of God, to lead us into all truth.
-A few years ago escaping my memory it was shockingly brought to my attention how I’d had a meeting with God, I found the evidence of it tucked away in my prophecy links. Remember this is Apostle Bradford, that like brethren prophets and Apostles before me, I’ve been loan many visitations to heaven. In this vision it was as though I was mingling around in heaven, like I was one of its many associates when one approached and declared, He want to see you, and I said, who? When not before long I found myself standing before a brightness in likeness of the sun moving from behind a mountain that spoke and declared “let My People Go.” It is now my brother and sisters in Christ I realize this Supreme One wasn’t taking about Egypt the world, but Nicolaitan, Jezebel, organized Christianity where many sincere leaders of Christ are guilty.
-Maybe this is the problem brother Swaggart, we talk to the redeem as though they’re flesh, when we ought to speak of them, even minister unto them as though they’re becoming holy spirits. Truly how miraculously the Holy Ghost is to have the Supreme Father perfect work in us and through us, though its all according to how generous we are with the submission of ourselves. Of course we teach people often how they’re to be like Christ, little do we as well remind them, they’re to be holy spirit, that the only way Jesus lived a sinless life, tempted at all points as we are was by becoming Holy Spirit. As such, never giving way to the flesh, he filled himself to the brim with forgiveness, (unconditional love) and everything Holy and divine the heavenly host had to offer with one primary focus, to sacrifice Himself a sinless sort for the souls of men.
-He saving his life losing it, but he losing his life for the redemption of mankind’s souls is to gain life forever more, for to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is joy and peace in the Holy Ghost. It’s here I’m beginning to realize we don’t brother Swaggart acquaint ourselves enough to Jesus Christ the man, we quote the scripture he had no sin, but was tempted at all points, how he was all God,( filled up of the Holy Spirit) and all man. Though how many sincerely believe they can be like Jesus Christ and even greater works Jesus himself claimed, his followers would be able to do as he ascend and the Holy Spirit descended. This blessed One isn’t just to work a form of Holiness through us, He’s to work with our redeemed spirit to instead make it a profound holiness unto the Lord Father, as we’re to become as they are.
-Thus I just feel brother the only way people are to understand this is to understand Jesus the man, the flesh, blood, sin, who by becoming Holy Spirit regardless of his debt of sin tempting the flesh, who by a single choice overcame sin long before he went to the cross. Herein we’re to know for a certainty there’s only one way man’s spirit can again be made holy and acceptable unto God, and that’s by the shed blood of Christ and this man being completely conformed, submerged by the Holy Spirit therein. This is the lesson taught of the crying God, that his people where being stripped of everything his Christ hath brought them. How He, God would in turn strip their evil, bias leaders, then the five fold ministering gifts of Ephesians 4, began to display themselves before my eyes. Indeed brother I say it again, we’ve taken too much of what is suppose to be the Living word and Holy Spirit’s vocation unto the repentant unto our selves.
-We’re to plant yes, we’re then to water, but only God (God the Holy Spirit), can bring an increase upon the believer that they’re to emerge upon a dying world Holy and acceptable unto God. So the question is, was the righteousness that God created in Jesus Christ meant to be practiced without sin? Did Jesus Christ walk in a holiness unto God that we who’re to seek to be as bit as righteous as he is, was and shall forever be are fooling ourselves? When you say we can’t live a sinless life are you saying we can’t be as Jesus Christ? Are we to better understand Jesus by separating the God in him from the man, was it the man Jesus or the God that walked on water? Was it the man Jesus or Jesus the God when he turn water into wine? What about when all the sick and lame came to him and were all made whole, was this Jesus the man or Jesus the God.
-It is written He took five loaves of bread and three fish and fed 5,000 men, not including women and children, was this Jesus the God or Jesus the man? Why are we encouraged to be like this sin substitute who was tempted at all points as we are yet without sin if it’s not possible? Great is the mystery of godliness, He is the Supreme God, that became as sinful man, as the believer (once sinful) is the man, that became a god, holy Spirit, isn’t this the truth of Christ’s gospel, the the truth behind the sole purpose of Christ’s Bloody Cross?
-If this isn’t possible why are we taught of the living word, the living spirit and the living righteousness to be like Christ, to be dead of sin as He died, to rise again anew as He rose anew, to put Him on, to set our thoughts, treasures above where Christ sit on the throne, even to be heir to the Supreme’s throne even as He. This is why brother Swaggart every time you give God’s people an excuse to falter by telling them there’s no way possible to live a sinless life. It grieves the Holy Spirit so because this is the explicit example he set through our Christ Lord Jesus, why would God give us a righteousness that we’re to be conformed therein yet we’re incapable even by the power of the Holy Ghost to walk, live and minister therein? Isn’t this why we’re born again, there’s no taking of the old and making it new.
-No, we’re empty from this new birth onto a spiritual journey where we’re given a new mind, a new heart and a new spirit of life, grace and truth, we are Christ, (Christian) and He, The Lamb Of God, He is ours. This is what Jesus was telling Nicodemus without actually telling him, he was going to have to die, flesh, mind, spirit, all that wasn't like God, would have to die. As I was exiting a certain room recently the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, the things they can do through us according to the righteousness of God is above and beyond anything we’re to ever, ever imagine. Just as so he wanted me to know that if we could believe, and live, walk and work according to it, that as long as it’s in line with God’s Kingdom the things they can do through us is beyond comprehension.
-How did Jesus, the human being walk on water? Beyond doubt his faith and his mind and his heart was so at rest, at peace in the Supreme Father until there wasn’t no thing he couldn’t do. He didn’t stand on the other side of that shore wondering how would he ever join the others, he simply kept walking in their direction possibly without even realizing the earth had left his feet until Peter asked to do even as he.
He was by his dedication to the Father, and this Supremes’ people more Holy Spirit than man remember? This is why all who are to hear the Supreme’s beckon call are all admonished to get to alters of Jesus Christ, (alters, ministers and messages of repentance and reconciliation), it is there a transformation of spirit, of heart and mind materializes into a grandeur of divinity everlasting. That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of spirit is spirit.
-Meaningfully there is no middle ground, you’re holy spirit or you’re none of Christ’s as flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. This evidence, this truth is why Jesus was able to turn away so many meaninglessly calling him Lord but whose sin remain, how they testified of astronomical gifts (holy Spirits) but they perish, transforming not. No, being on our own Damascus road are we to find ourselves blind to the world and the things of the world unto divine clarity, even revelation of truth, godliness and sanctity of Holy Spirits most miraculous, we once where blind but now praise to the lamb of God, Jesus Christ, we see, even as he, we see. We must be sincere about his miraculous sanctification, the one thing supposedly saints discount the more unto hating those who are every bit as holy as the Holy Spirit will allow.
That you be aware, that you be born again, that you know an Apostle of Jesus Christ is among you. As to pluck Ambers from the burning, take heed that no man deceive you, Apb, The Rising Above Ministry (RAM). pbradfordm@aol.com
Prophetically On The Map
-Just last night, well this morning, I awaken from a dream whereas in the dream I was sitting in a church, it seem to be a Jimmy Swaggart church when suddenly people became panic. They became panic and started exiting the building, they where exiting the building because of a bomb threat. We're not talking about deadly incidents in the away yonder where people are repeatedly dying in our stead but we're talking about American soil. 05/25/2010
-I looked into dreams whereas cities of America where making it like cities of Iraq. I saw a Wal-Mart in flames. People in total panic, I even saw people taken hostage; my spouse was one of them, as so was there was something about bomb threats. This is where I pulled from the sinks where I was washing dishes a long length of hair that was to act as a measuring stick, like the horses bridle mention in Revelation, which is six feet long. 05/22/2010
