Was Jesus ever ill? It is written, that 'I was sick and you visited Me.' And it is hard to imagine that He could be scourged and crucified but never suffered a migraine. Provided that Jesus was ill as we are, then this would undo all the teaching on health and wealth and prosperity that infects the minds of the materialistic audience of such teachers.
That is what I USED to wonder about ... but not any more thanks to this ...
6/26/07 From Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ -
A Letter Given to Timothy, For Trent and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
Whatsoever You Have Done to the Least of These, My Children, Assuredly I Tell You, You Have Done It, Even Unto Me, Their Father, Says the Lord Your Redeemer
Question asked by Timothy, for Trent. Trent asks, "Was Jesus ever ill? It is written, that 'I was sick and you visited Me.' And it is hard to imagine that He could be scourged and crucified but never suffered a migraine. Provided that Jesus was ill as we are, then this would undo all the teaching on health and wealth and prosperity that infects the minds of the materialistic audience of such teachers."
This is what the Lord says to His servant:
Trent, My beloved, you seek Me, and this is very good. Continue in Me, with all zealousness, and in the times to come shall I bring you riches of the kind you have not known, of the kind that shall bring a multitude into My joy. Seek on, and serve Me in all patience and steadfastness of faith, with all long-suffering for those who know not Me and resist My Word. For I am not in them, for they do stifle My Spirit and have yet to receive of My fullness, though they have spoken in My name and confessed a good confession before men. Yet in their heart, of which I know, they have not confessed; neither have they let go of offenses; neither have they forgiven even everyone their sins, which have been wrought against them; neither have they given up that which I require; neither, in their weakness, has My strength been made perfect in them. For they go their own way, and closely adhere to all doctrines of men and the churches, endeavoring to teach others on My behalf, where in they go astray and do greatly err. For that which they have wrought in the Word, according to the traditions of men, is a rewriting of the Word spoken in Truth, of which none shall change. And so, they have endeavored to teach Me and not others. For if they taught others, according to that doctrine which is true, then, by this, they would know that the teacher, who has received of Me and of those gifts given by My own Spirit, teaches not by speaking, but by listening and by example, walking beside Me, holding My hand. And then, when those with sincere hearts come inquiring of Me, then, those who are given to teach, shall only speak that which I, Myself, have spoken to them. And those who are not given to hear, and wish to teach others of Me, even these, if they be wise in the Word, by the reading, and have received understanding, say only that which is written in the Scriptures of Truth, and search the Scriptures according to how I lead them in the edification of those who came before them in the asking. I am the Master, having never ceased from being with My beloved...yea, I am with them always, even to the end of this age.
Here is wisdom: Apart from Me, one can do nothing...human power is of use at all. A faithful, humble servant is what I require...one who listens to all I teach Him, and then teaches it to another. Only those, who have ears to hear, are given to teach. To the rest, it is not given, for they do strive in vain, walking not next to Me, holding My hand, laying upon My breast. Rather, these men of vanities, of which you have spoken, walk among men and the earthly churches, built up by human power, seeking after human praise, elevated and uplifted in their own egos...they shall be brought VERY low, abased in the sight of others, and by this, alone, shall they come into glory. By no other means shall these high-minded come to know Me as I truly am, according to the true grace and truth I offer them...yet they will not come, for they have made Me in their own image, and have forgotten their Maker and His Law, and all that I have commanded them.
Beloved, the churches have all gone out of the way, and do wander wheresoever the world leads them. This has become enmity with God, for they no longer have ears to hear, and refuse the Father's correction and will not obey His commandments, and have forgotten even all His decrees, of which He has said they should keep, making my sacrifice into a perversion of faces, using My name and glory as a proverb of which I despise, even unto the proliferation of sin, excused in My own name...desecration!
Trent, My beloved, I have called unto you, and you have harkened. For you have endeavored to become completely virgin, as I have called Timothy, who was virgin according to doctrine, an empty vessel, meet for the Master's use. And in like manner, are you also becoming, even very quickly now. And you also will come to hear Me as Timothy hears, for you hear Me already from within, even deep within the recesses of your heart, where I have come to dwell.
I have made you and continue in your formation, until the Day comes when you are united to Me, and we become one, just as the Father and I are One. In that Day, no longer will you ask anything of Me at all, for you will be where I am, and I will be perfected in you and you in Me. And when you call to Me, I will answer before you have finished speaking, and your knowledge of Me will fill you as your blood fills your veins, wherein is life, of which I am.
You ask of Me questions, of which others think not of, even questions from deep within your conscious. Beloved, you know the answers already. Yet of this question, you think too deeply. Look simply and in faith, Trent, My son, and what do you see? ...
I have come to minister and not to be ministered unto. I came to heal the sick, even to all those who were in need of the Physician...beloved, I bore their infirmities. By no means did I, Myself, become sick, for the Father allowed nothing to keep Me from My mission, in the fulfillment of all that was written. I came as you, in flesh, to live as you, and to be fully tempted as you, yet I did not suffer illness of the body. For men do not realize that the Father made the body and mind to be one; and in this, He made them to not suffer illness but to abide in health. So as I came from the Father, and the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father, so also was My body in like manner, the body of which even Adam owned and would have kept to this Day, if he had not transgressed. All those, without sin, live forever and suffer not. And so I was without sin and abide forever, and came to carry the infirmities of those who came to Me in faith, asking that I should heal them. In the same way, I carried their sin, though I had no part in sin Myself. How can one, who is in need of a physician, heal others? Or one, who has sinned, bear and forgive the sins of another? Trent, I was completely clean, so by this, you and all those who seek Me, might also be clean. Remember and understand My words, spoken and written down in the Scriptures of Truth: No man takes My life from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of My Father...
I am, and will always be, the perfect Lamb without spot or blemish
given up for many...
sacrificed...
I am the restoration of all things.

Trent's Comment:
Tim and readers,
There is so much I want to say in response, but I'll gear this message to those who may have doubt as to the authenticity, and for those among them that would like to hear validation from someone to which at least one letter is addressed.
Before I begin, let me first say that my name is mentioned and I was the one that asked the question, but the response is written to all those that have ears to hear ... so I am not the only recipient. If your heart leaps and is softened and welcomes the truth of this letter, as well as the other letters, then it is written to you and for you. And you along with all others that have ears are the true recipients of the letters, not merely any person that is called by name within the letter.
I imagine that parts of the letter seem specially worded to impact you, as this is true for me of many letters. I often ask, "how can such sweet expression be written, so familiar and special and meaningful to me?" and that is true of a great number of these letters ... and even more true of certain letters such as this one. Let me explain what I mean, by commenting about certain expressions in this letter ... but by no means can I fully talk about all the parts of this letter that is meaningful to me ... just the highlights.
1) it is written: "... in the times to come shall I bring you riches of the kind you have not known, of the kind that shall bring a multitude into My joy."
My wife and I are preoccupied in this stage in our life to move from consumers of goods to financiers of the Lord's work. We are concluding a long negotiation to sell intellectual property so that we can take in payments of royalties. We have gone into debt to survive the negotiation process and have negative net-worth ... yet in our lack ... we have heard the whispers of hope from the Lord and have peace that passes understanding that it will work out and a new future awaits us where we can begin giving away the wealth that could come with the inventions that we want to market. Indeed the inventions popped into our heads and we view them as a gift that belongs to The Lord Jesus anyway, so we are glad to see what may come from them.
2) it is also written: "Seek on, and serve Me in all patience and steadfastness of faith, with all long-suffering for those who know not Me and resist My Word."
I am given the patience to seek and serve alongside those that want nothing to do with the Letters ... because of their own prejudice and corruption of beliefs ... and this instruction is a timely reminder to continue with patience for them ...and for the sake of their willing spirits that will turn to the Lord in His timing.
3) it is also written: "For they go their own way, and closely adhere to all doctrines of men and the churches, endeavoring to teach others on My behalf, where in they go astray and do greatly err. For that which they have wrought in the Word, according to the traditions of men, is a rewriting of the Word spoken in Truth, of which none shall change."
I'll just say that I am nearly positive that I know the person (a friend) that this is about.
4) it is also written: "For if they taught others, according to that doctrine which is true, then, by this, they would know that the teacher, who has received of Me and of those gifts given by My own Spirit, teaches not by speaking, but by listening and by example, walking beside Me, holding My hand. And then, when those with sincere hearts come inquiring of Me, then, those who are given to teach, shall only speak that which I, Myself, have spoken to them."
It has been a recent meditation of mine how one can walk with sincerity and quietly live an example, rather than take a platform and set one's self up as an authority of teaching to be heard. And this explains how God's plan of influence is the reverse of the churches ... which has no power, and only man made authority. Those that quietly walk the walk, have seekers sent to them to bring them along, by speaking what the Spirit would have them say. While those that take the initutive to set themselves up as speakers are worthless to God ... having the frustration of nobody sent to them ... so they go out and find an audience that isn't seeking and only listens with dull ears. May their dullness protect them from such a message, as such a wayward sheep would only make a disciple twice-fit for hell anyway.
5) it is also written: "A faithful, humble servant is what I require...one who listens to all I teach Him, and then teaches it to another. Only those, who have ears to hear, are given to teach. To the rest, it is not given, for they do strive in vain, walking not next to Me, holding My hand, laying upon My breast."
I addressed much of this above, but the last part about "laying upon My breast" may seem strange to many readers. To me, it is a personal thing. One of the most touching passages to me personal, in the Gospels is found in John's 13th chapter: verse 23 """Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved."""
I have often read this verse in astonishment and glee ... and made a silent and heartfelt prayer to the Lord that I could be as this disciple, and just enjoy the Lord in such a tender way ... laying upon Him, reclined and at peace ... even at the last supper. It has been something I dare not say, because I didn't think anybody would understand what I was talking about, and yet here it is in the letter, in black and white.
6) for brevity ... skipping down a bit ... it is written: "And when you call to Me, I will answer before you have finished speaking, and your knowledge of Me will fill you as your blood fills your veins, wherein is life, of which I am."
Anyone familiar with my writing at GraceHead.com ... will recognize this statement as something I would often write, when inspired by Him. Even beyond that, is subtleties that I could not put to words quite so elegantly as it is written here, so beautifully.
7) it is written: "Trent, I was completely clean, so by this, you and all those who seek Me, might also be clean."
As the question gets addressed, I am amazed at how simple and elegant the answer flows and effaces my question that I have kept with me and pondered for so long. And as I read the answer, there is nothing left to ponder, and I see clear as day ... clear as these eyes can see in a mid-day sunlight. Ah-Ha! Amen! I see know. And I believe!
Thank you Lord Jesus!
Well, I hope this abbreviated reply is of assistance to all who read this letter and are blessed by it. And may Timothy be likewise encouraged that He has wrought the Lord's message to me and to others that may not have had the opportunity to say so.
Ripening for the harvest,
Trent
