Media

 The media of God is like a tree. It goes into the world. When it arrives in the world it hits the tee and the tee is the golf. The golf of men isn’t like the gulf which God had to deal with. It is the gulf of the abyss which was a place like Pandora’s Box.

Now imagine Pandora was a writer and she wanted to find a way of spreading the news. She saw there were three other boxes but each was headed by a dog. Now in our age we would laugh and say “Of course. Dog news. News Hound.”

And then we might add “Dog days of news” when nothing seems to be happening.

So imagine God gave me a dream and showed me that there were four boxes but three were dogs. One good box was just a box. It didn’t have anything special about it. But lets say it was the truth and like Pandora’s box it was one they said to men “Never open.” So if Pandora’s box was like the truth then there would have to be something in the heart that would be hope. So if Hope said “Let me out” then we would listen and wonder who she was.

So lets say tonight as I was in prayer God showed me that Pandora was like Hope. She was the red box which we see not just for the news but for the postal box. Now imagine this that you’ve been waiting for years for some bit of good news. You keep hoping and believing but it never seems to arrive. So one day you cry and weep and can’t get an answer. So she who is Hope says “Let me pay one day of suffering” only she doesn’t know what suffering is. She pays one day and says “It was bad but I can do two” and so she bears two days. And soon she begins to pray and she begins to pay for the price of a man who can’t find freedom. And then others pay a price and others and others until finally there is no one left in all the world who won’t pay a price. That is because the man, like the Spirit of God, gives without asking. He doesn’t ask anyone to help. He just prays and prays and prays until finally evil ceases. That is it ceases to be evil.

So God knows that one day men would understand what evil is. They would know what evil does. They would comprehend it. Not because of things that were of Hope or men but because there was a man named God who had to help bear the price of it. And He did and He did and He did and He did. And all we could do was watch because God carried the price. He carried the bond and the bond was called a Fungible Bond. It carried over from a previous bond where that people, those previous men, had also failed. And if there were others God hasn’t said anything but I do hope there isn’t more.

Now the media was of Pandora. Pandora opened up the box and suddenly all the troubles of the world escaped. Only imagine this; imagine the box she opened was the daily news. And imagine the dogs of news kept the news to us of only good stuff. Imagine they kept us from seeing the full truth. So by the time we knew the truth we could not overcome what was yet to arrive.

So God said “Try to think outside the box” and so I fought to think. What does it mean if we had the truth on our side? It would mean that people would have to chose truth over other things. Over people who wanted you to believe their version was right. Because if we believed their version then they could write it into law. And so if we were to change the world back we had to control the media. And controlling media isn’t as easy as it sounds. It requires we become wiser then serpents and harmless as doves.

It also requires that we have a mediator. A media tor is a media law. Media needs force to bring out the truth. It needs force to bring men to their knees and it needs force based on power of God. And so if we are to obey the law of God we must first know why. And knowing why is like knowing truth. It requires that men recognize truth for what it is. And it means that we can then present truth to men.

Once we present the box we then have to convince them to open it and take out hope. Hope then becomes part of the box and we then present to them the truth. That there are ways to earn money will scams. That there are ways to earn money without lies. That there are ways to learn more about truth then by listening to the news of the dog. And so we who are part of this force can become a force for good. We become the voice of honor. We become the voice of those who know the truth. And we know if we can discern it we can preach it. If we can’t preach the truth then why do we try?

The answer is we think we have all the truth. But we don’t. We have part of the truth and that means if we have part we need all. Otherwise we would have answers for the world which would satisfy. Now some do. Some men have opened the box and it proved them right. They sought deeper truth and it was based on hope. And hope was there in the box of Pandora.

Yet others saw her as a threat and crushed Hope in the church. They cast off Hope for Faith and said “We have faith. Why do we also need hope?” And the answer was simple. Like the daily truth the daily hope renews the relationship we have with faith. For God holds faith and it is granted to us on a need to know basis. And we then grow in knowledge and in truth. But we are only there in part. We must overcome the evil one first and then the media becomes part of the story.

 Until then remember the tor is like the Tora. It becomes the law of the people of Israel but it also became part of the subject of Christ. He came to bring the law to men. He came to bring a media law but so far we never achieved it. We threw out too much truth in the past and we have to be careful for we are now doing the same. For when we allow people in the church who disparage food and say “It is unclean” then we are allowing in false teachers. They are not the word God wants us to give. For men who fake knowledge are those who say plants created by God are evil. So if we use it for evil doesn’t mean God uses it that way. So if we condemn the poppy we throw out Remembrance Day. And if we condemn Hemp we throw out the rope that one day might save us from drowning.

 So be careful if you throw out things you don’t like. Remember God is with us and will be with us in all things. It will take time and God will restore to us what the canker worm has eaten. And that goes for the viruses and other nasty bugs that tend to crawl around inside of the Net.
