Ben Wokk Farr - The Ancient Hebrew Warrior Priest

It would seem that old habits die hard; that the acceptance of knowledge is a battle that some fight against. Yet, if we are to return to the face of God, we must learn, we must obtain knowledge and pray for wisdom that knowledge be applied to His glory. The bottom line is there is nothing too hard for God, even though it may be hard for man. Learn, grow and glorify God - in all things!

Very often, during those rare moment of my unscripted remarks to the congregation, generally known as testimony, I ask two questions, both of which have the same verbal answer. The first question is who is God? The second question is who is the son of God? The answer to both questions, although there is a difference in emphasis, are two simple words - I AM!

There are those with whom I have had conversations concerning God that identify me as being a New Age spiritualist. My response is that the exact opposite is the course. I'm truly of the old school religion that embraces and holds dear the God of creation; the God who, in Exodus, third chapter gave His name as I AM THAT I AM (generally referred to in modern society as the Great I AM), and who told the world such was His name forever!

God, in general terms implies a divine being possessed of supernatural powers and abilities; a being whose knowledge, mission and purpose supersedes out limited ability to fathom (contemplate and/or understand); an entity unencumbered by the limitations of time, space and the physical realm; yet who is unrestricted in His unique ability to make His omnipresence known (felt) in our lives.

What the seeker of truth soon comes to realize is that God, the eternal essence, core, and source of life - all life, is singular. There is no truth, no foundation to the dogmatic insistence that God serves as a trinity - Father, Son and Holy Ghost, as a means to manifest Himself, His knowledge, His instruction, or His will in our lives. Those who are the Children of God (man) understand (1) the teaching that has been with us from days of old, [Deuteronomy 6:4] Hear O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD..." (2) As the essence of life, God has not, nor will He die. [Psalms 139:7,8] "Whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou are there: If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou are there." (3) The physical manifestation of Jesus as God contradicts the assertion that God is not a mere man, [Numbers 23:19] "God is not a man that He should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent." (4) We have been taught that God's kingdom is not beyond the sun, moon and stars, but is infinitely more accessible. As our brother Yeshua (Jesus) spoke [Luke 17:21] "...behold the kingdom of God is within you." Thus, we are inextricably linked to and by the very essence of God. He is the core of our being, the very foundation of our physical and spiritual existence. Is there any doubt (question) in your mind that God is the very air that you breathe, every sound that you hear, each sensation that you touch, the aroma that you smell, the clouds, earth and water that you see - and, the warmth of emotion - love, that emanates from your heart for those with whom you share precious moments? (5) God is eternal and unchanging that we might recognize His presence from generation to generation, that we might acknowledge His sovereignty, and teach our children. [Malachi 3:6] "For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed."

We have been taught that we are made in His image and likeness, have been given dominion, and are His chosen people. Why then do we suffer torment, confusion, chaos and oppression? It is because we have forgotten, in truth, the answer to the second question. It is because we have turned from His face, His instruction, and His guidance in our lives. We have forgotten His word. [Malachi 3:7] "...Return unto me, and I will return unto you..."

There are those who will not understand, and those who will, when I speak that God is not the head of my life. Rather, He is the very core of my life. For without God, my body would have no life. The essence of God is life; therefore, God is the very essence of my awareness and existence. It is to God that I extend my eternal gratitude for having seen fit to endow my body with mobility, with purpose and with a reasonable measure of health and ability. It is because God is that I am able to speak, as did my brother Yeshua (Jesus) in his time that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me. Thus, who is God? "I AM!" Who is His son? "I Am."
