Excerpt of:

THEIR EYES WERE OPENED,
AND THEY KNEW...

(Part 3)

Behold, All Ye That Kindle A Fire

devilation:

Humanity's first communion, as far as it is recorded, was between the serpent and the woman, and it sent mankind on a long journey, one filled with delusion, heartbreak, futility, death. The woman was the honored guest at the Serpent's Supper. She communed with the most cunning beast in the field of her mind, she died, and the serpent lived. She was inspired by it, or we could say -- she was inspirited; for that is what an inspiration is. It is to be stirred by or to receive the spirit from whatever it is that is doing the inspiring. She was inSPIRITed, and her eyes were opened and she saw. Think about it -- humanity's first inspiration brought the first ⁽⁶⁾communion, and that communion brought the first revelation, and that revelation brought the first death.

We might add, due to the type of revelation she had, I believe it would be appropriate to call it a DEVILation; for that is exactly what she and the man had. They had a DEVILation. The serpent is a type of the devil, as we know, and it was that twisted spirit by which the woman was inspired, and in turn it had opened her eyes to see the fruit was pleasant to the eyes. We also know the Greek word from which devil was translated is diabolos, and Strong's Exhaustive Concordance defines the word as being "a traducer." I have mentioned this word many times before, and I surely do not want to belabor the point, but once again, it is necessary to touch upon it to bring clarity.

Traduce is not a word we often use these days; but it does tell us something about this inspiring, serpentine spirit. It simply means: to transfer from one order to another, as you would transfer from one order of reasoning to another order of reasoning. The traducer (the devil) twists and transfers the word of God in such a manner that the carnal mind can grasp it. The traducer lowers spiritual revelation to natural understanding, i.e. making it a devilation. And devilations open men's eyes to see themselves.

The spirit which inspires the carnal mind is the lying traducer, and the Spirit which inspires the spiritual mind is the Holy Spirit of Truth. Either can open one's eyes to see. Either can bring a person to revelations beyond the scope of common vision. Moreover, both inspirations and revelations are sweeping through the ranks of the Kingdom. The old one is causing people to rise up in swelling pride of knowing themselves. The new one is also causing people to know themselves; but it is first to know Him and then with humble thanksgiving to know who we are in Him. Which inspiration is opening our eyes? Is it the one from taking stolen fruit which causes us to know ourselves, or the one from receiving, which opens our eyes to know Him?
