Moses the Murderer: A Demonized Self-Identity

Even Moses – born of the Hebrew tribe of Levi, trained in all the wisdom of the royal palace, and called as a great servant of God – was gripped by the power of sin in his innermost being.


If he cannot discern that, the elite knowledge he gained in Pharaoh’s palace becomes demonized in the field, reducing him to nothing more than a murderer, a hypocrite, and a fugitive.


Wearing the mask of justice, Moses slew the Egyptian who oppressed a Hebrew, driven by rage and violence.


Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

But the deed was quickly exposed, and he was forced to flee into the wilderness of Midian.


Even if you act strong, ablaze with a sense of justice and elite knowledge, without the intervention of God, there is no applause or praise.


Instead, someone “stronger” appears one day to bite down upon your weakness, leaving you with rejection, betrayal, and not a single helper.


The coils of the power of Satan, the power of sin, and the power of darkness are entrenched within our innermost being.

Only when we engage in spiritual battle to crush them with the name of the Messiah Christ, the offspring of the woman of Genesis 3:15, can we be freed from the hypocritical religious ideology that disguises itself as an angel of light.


After forty years in the Midian wilderness, the fugitive Moses finally realized:

he had been deceived by Satan who appeared in Genesis 3, and instead of relying on God’s strength and method, he had wielded the sword of his own righteousness and anger and was ruined.


Even with royal wisdom and Hebrew genealogy, if one does not break down the power of Satan that demonizes in the field, one’s identity will remain violent, unstable, and insecure.

Moses discovered his true self, his inner identity, through spiritual battle against himself, the worldly environment, and Satan and finally became a great leader of his people.


Not only that, he also recorded Genesis and completely proclaimed the covenant of Genesis 3:15 that crushed Satan's head, and also wrote Exodus, exposing his own inner self – once disguised as an angel of light, wielding the sword of anger – and leaving behind a life testimony as his masterpiece.


If, like Moses, you have found your own inner being that has been demonized in the field, then look in the mirror and pray from today:


“In the name of Jesus Christ, I command that this fateful curse, entrenched in the depths of my soul, coiling within me so that I cannot escape my rage – be shattered to pieces within me!” Amen!

(Exodus 2:11–15; 2 Corinthians 11:14)

The Thoughts of Re-Creation, The Secret to Becoming Lovable Before God and People

Image
The twelve-year-old Jesus was not an ordinary boy. As prophesied by the prophet Isaiah, Jesus was a shoot came up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch bore fruit upon whom the Spirit of the LORD rested – the Spirit of the LORD, the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. He was the fulfiller of the covenant. Born from the bosom of God, the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. However, Mary and Joseph, after twelve years, lost hold of that faith and searched for Jesus for three days with worry, frustration, and irritation, captured by the thoughts of the flesh. Jesus, the remnant who grew in stature and wisdom and in favor with God, knew he must be in his Father God’s house, the place of grace. However, his parents, who had strayed from the place of the covenant and grace, could not enjoy the blessing even with Jesus the Messiah right beside them. The Virgin Mary, who once sa...

A Gospel Community of Worship Centered on the Covenant: 315 Nation

Image
The descendants of Jacob, who possessed the covenant, were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them. The genealogy of the covenant recorded by Moses is directly connected to God’s work of salvation. To be related to God’s work of salvation means to be headed toward the land of Canaan flowing with milk and honey, the land where the Messiah would come. Though Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died, the Israelites who stood within God’s work of salvation and timing were greatly blessed according to God's promise to make them as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand of the sea. When we worship centered on the covenant just as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob did, we will see evidence that we will increase and multiply by God’s method. This is the easiest way to overcome the world. We are not of the world, but are chosen by God. We are the remnants who carry God’s mission, the pilgrims who evang...

The Re-Creative Language that Transforms Our Thoughts Centered on the Gospel

Image
To love one another does not require much effort. If our thoughts are properly aligned with the gospel, we can love one another just as the Apostle John loved the elder Gaius. When we transform our thoughts centered on the gospel, we begin to speak the words of the gospel. The re-creative language Christians use brings prosperity to the soul, success in all things, and strength in health. "Beloved, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well." Elder Gaius, who walked in the truth, was a disciple of Christ with the image of one worthy to be called “Beloved,” and used the language of the gospel. The Apostle John’s record of Elder Gaius, Demetrius the witness of the truth, and Diotrephes the hinderer of the gospel was intended to show that the outcome of the walk of faith depends on whether we crush the serpent’s head in the name of Jesus Christ who came to destroy the devil's work. Elder Gaius walked in th...
