Dear Diary

The Temple Chapter Twenty Four

Rachel spent much of her time seeking Adon in the Holy Book. She really wanted to firm up her foundation. She didn't want to come across as incompetent in the knowledge of The Most Holy One. She also didn't want to go outside the will of Adon in her life, or in this temple. Rachel was sitting there furrowing her brow with deep concentration flipping through the pages of her journal, all her handwritten notes on taken from The Holy Book regarding what the ecclesiasties group stood for, what they believed in, what their foundation was.

Rachel and Berry constantly communicated via WhatsApp messaging. He too had been spending time within the pages of The Holy Book. So far nothing new to report. Ecclesiasties was the same. Rachel closed the books finally and decided to go outside for a walk. It was sunny now, and despite the weather being quite cold, being under the sun had charming mental and physical wellbeing that she clearly needed a boost in. Rachel wrapped herself up in a warm cream fila branded hoodie and a mountain warehouse hiking jacket and went out.

Stepping outside felt like a breath of fresh air. Rachel filled her lungs with the cold air and felt invigorated by it. She inhaled deeply again and stepped outside of her front steps and began walking around her neighbourhood. Rachel pictured everything like a movie screen of clips of everything that had happened, over everything that had been written by both sides, including checking herself to see what she was feeling right about now, and what she was feeling back then. Was they really in the will of God? The more she meditated about it, the more the result surprised her. They were right. The Temple should have never segregated people into groups, banning different groups from socialising was like telling the whole entire world to stay apart, to quarantine themselves from each other, to isolate themselves from each others differences in order to keep the peace. When in reality, Adon wanted to unite them all despite despite differences, despite the differences in their posture with the Lord, despite being on different walks of path in life. One might be higher than the other, in terms of their relationship with Adon, but that didn't mean you cannot socialise with someone of a different kind.

Rachel reached a coffee shop, should she she in? She could really do with a 'pick me up.' So rachel picked up almond hot chocolate and a massive croissant bigger than the size of her hand and sat down by the windowsill. She could have eaten in the park, but she really didn't want to travel the distance. Rachel sipped her hot chocolate and thought some more.

Being different doesn't mean you have to distance yourselves from the other people in order to keep the peace. Just like being coloured, a person with a darker skin and darker hair didn't mean that your value, your worth and your talent was worth less than those who were lighter in skin, lighter in hair and belonging to a unique set of different people groups. Adon had called the world to unite, not to divide.

Rachel remembered the story of The Tower of Babel in The Holy Book. Adon was so upset with the pride of man and their reliance on their flesh to glorify themselves in order for themselves to be worshipped, that He had separated their languages and made them each different to the other, separating them to the point where they could no longer understand each other as panic and mayhem ensued. In contrast to that rachel also remembered how in the new testament Adon had United both Jews and gentiles and giving them one language, the heavenly language of the angels (also known as tongues) as a gift of the new covenant of grace and of peace. A unifying factor to keep the peace, to let each one know that they belonged to Him. Rachel had this language, she had not been using it much, but it didn't mean she didn't have it anymore.

The more rachel thought about it, the more she came to the conclusion that having boundaries within a large organisational structure was wise, but there was a fine line between proclaiming someone is different to yourself, to treating them as lesser versions of yourself, or rather lesser versions of the image of Adon, since we are all made in the image and likness of Adon.

Rachels phone pinged and it was Berry alerting her that the elitists and leaders qnd dazzlers all wanted to meet, now. A bit sudden, rachel thought to herself, but then The Temple always had a flair for the dramatics. Rachel picked up her leftover bread and rushed home to get her journals and Holy Book. She was ready to end this thing.

Berry arrived at The Temple first, he wanted to check the atmosphere of within the leadership. He could discern a strand of fear in the air, clearly they were nervous, they knew they were in the wrong and they wanted to cover it up. Like Adam and Eve in Genesis in the Holy Book, they wanted to run and hide. Clearly the ecclesiastes group carried the presence of Adon and this frightened them most. Rachel soon arrived, she looked calm and steady as if she had been battling this type of fight all of her life, being part of the voiceless meant that maybe she did, just like David before he was king in the Holy Book of adon, a shepherd boy fighting lions and bears to protect his flock of sheep. Ecclesiastes and some of the others arrived and they congregated in the foyer and soon an elder came out to usher them inside.

Rachel felt like she had waited long enough. The Holy Book of adon states that those who wait on the Lord will rise with wings like eagles. Rachel had been waiting her whole life, now she felt like she was rising with wings like eagles. Berry saw that determined look on her face which passed onto him. They were a power couple after all, what's yours is mine, even the spiritual side of things. They held hands as the group entered the main hall. They all sat down and looked up at the leadership on the platform. They were given one moments time to say whatever they needed to say before the elders voiced their conclusion. At this point Rachel stood up:

"My fellow men and women, we are not here to pick a fight with you". At which point eyebrows were raised. "We are here to show you Adon himself." At this point Adon showed up.

How does an unseen entity from high above show up? How does he show himself? Like a violent rushing wind with tongues of fire (acts 2 in the Holy book). The tongues of fire landed on each of the ecclesiasties heads and rachels. The wind blew so strong, but then an angel of the Lord actually appeared. He was shining as bright as lightning (revelation in the holy book). All the elders fell flat on their faces as if they had died or fainted (book of Daniel in the Holy book of Adon). The angel had a flaming sword made of fire (book of revelation) and he spoke gently and touched the elders to give them the strength to stand before him (book of daniel). Just like the talking donkey in the book of adon in the old testament, rachel herself spoke "the Lord is God" and all the ecclesiastes group bowed down on their knees (1 Kings elijah in the Holy book). With some strength the elders stood before the angel of the Lord and he spoke saying:

“Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy. “Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times. “And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined. Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”

Daniel 9:24‭-‬27 NKJV

The elders in trembling responded by also getting down on their knees as the ecclesiasties gang was still face down upon their knees upon the presence of the Lord speak in the heavenly language given to man as a gift by Adon himself to unify the people, to unite a nation (acts 2 In the Holy book). This is the elders response to the angel of the Lord:

And I prayed to the Lord my God, and made confession, and said, “O Lord, great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love Him, and with those who keep His commandments, we have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments. Neither have we heeded Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings and our princes, to our fathers and all the people of the land. O Lord, righteousness belongs to You, but to us shame of face, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those near and those far off in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of the unfaithfulness which they have committed against You. “O Lord, to us belongs shame of face, to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, because we have sinned against You. To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him. We have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets. Yes, all Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him. And He has confirmed His words, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; for under the whole heaven such has never been done as what has been done to Jerusalem. “As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; yet we have not made our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand Your truth. Therefore the Lord has kept the disaster in mind, and brought it upon us; for the Lord our God is righteous in all the works which He does, though we have not obeyed His voice. And now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and made Yourself a name, as it is this day—we have sinned, we have done wickedly! “O Lord, according to all Your righteousness, I pray, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people are a reproach to all those around us. Now therefore, our God, hear the prayer of Your servant, and his supplications, and for the Lord’s sake cause Your face to shine on Your sanctuary, which is desolate. O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations, and the city which is called by Your name; for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great mercies. O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”

Daniel 9:4‭-‬19 NKJV

At this point Rachel and the gang stood up. The power couple Berry and rachel held hands again and they then clasped the hands of their other fellow brothers and sisters and all united with one voice began to shout down with praise the 'spiritual walls of Jericho' (book of Joshua in the Holy book).

The battle belongs to the Lord. 1 Samuel 17:47

Vengeance is mine saith the Lord Romans 12:19

Concluding

Then Joshua charged them at that time, saying, “Cursed be the man before the Lord who rises up and builds this city Jericho; he shall lay its foundation with his firstborn, and with his youngest he shall set up its gates.” So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout all the country.

Joshua 6:26‭-‬27 NKJV

And so was rachel and berry's fame spread throughout the temple, they both represented the voiceless aka the rejects and the elitists aka the favoured ones. Both United, both together, in romantic love (song of songs in the Holy book). This encouraged everyone Everywhere to unite, all the different groups disintegrated and formed one family, one body of christ. Nobody dared to rebuild the old, but everyone worked hard together learning from each other and the Holy book to rebuild according to the word of the Lord.

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:11 NKJV

Writer: rachel leynes

I might follow up with why this particular series was written.

For all those who want to know the real Adon aka ADONAI in Hebrew you can watch this video on Billy Graham regarding the gospel message:

Rachel felt a heavy weight of relief surge through her entire body she and the gang walked out of the temple. It was like all this pressure that was on her to be perfect and on point, plus the nerves and the stresses and strains of having to face all of this. Rachel let out her breath, as if she was holding onto it all this time. This was one of the hardest things that she had to Do. Waiting around for an answer was another hard thing that she had to Do. Berry held her in his arms when they got outside in the park and the wind blew around them. As her dark hair whipped around in the mind, Rachel leant her head on berrys shoulder and felt the warmth of his embrace. This was where she belonged, this was who she was. Rachel couldn't believe it, as she continued to meditate upon all the changes that had happened so far. Joining the ecclesiastes gang, finding her voice, training the younger eagles, praying for berry for a year, training berry for another year and now facing the elitists head on and the Dazzlers, the religious system that was in place. Now here, her and berry a couple, a team, a couple for the glory of the lord. Rachel inhaled and exhaled deeply.

Berry wrapped Rachel up In his arms tighter. He had learned to love her, he had learned to respect her, he had learned to honour her above his own body, just as it is written in the holy book of Adon. Berry felt ready to fight for his love. He felt he had the fiery armour now to stand up for what they now both believed in. Rachel had gone through so much in her life, it was time for her to rest, and resting in his warm embrace was only just the start.

Berry took a strand of Rachel's hair away from her face and kissed her right there on the lips. The wind ceased as he did so. The Voiceless were never known to find true love, forever destined to be alone, unless they found someone within the Voiceless themselves, which was rare. Rachel herself had never felt anything for anybody there other than brotherly and sisterly love. Berry was her first kiss, and right now she knew that he would be her last.

Days passed and nothing was heard from the elitists and Dazzlers. Rachel began wondering if they even remembered them. They did have a reputation for 'creating amnesia' towards negative events, as if they had never happened. Then one day a letter arrived to Ecclesiastes, he brought the letter to their ground meeting and he read it out loud. This is what he read "just because you oppose what you think is bad, does not mean that you are right". Rachel furrowed her brow, what did they mean by that? Were they implying that they were also in the wrong? On what grounds? What scriptural basis did they base that on? They based it in the book of James, and this is what they wrote:

You do well when you complete the Royal Rule of the Scriptures: “Love others as you love yourself.” But if you play up to these so-called important people, you go against the Rule and stand convicted by it. You can’t pick and choose in these things, specializing in keeping one or two things in God’s law and ignoring others. The same God who said, “Don’t commit adultery,” also said, “Don’t murder.” If you don’t commit adultery but go ahead and murder, do you think your non-adultery will cancel out your murder? No, you’re a murderer, period. Talk and act like a person expecting to be judged by the Rule that sets us free. For if you refuse to act kindly, you can hardly expect to be treated kindly. Kind mercy wins over harsh judgment every time. Dear friends, do you think you’ll get anywhere in this if you learn all the right words but never do anything? Does merely talking about faith indicate that a person really has it? For instance, you come upon an old friend dressed in rags and half-starved and say, “Good morning, friend! Be clothed in Christ! Be filled with the Holy Spirit!” and walk off without providing so much as a coat or a cup of soup—where does that get you? Isn’t it obvious that God-talk without God-acts is outrageous nonsense? I can already hear one of you agreeing by saying, “Sounds good. You take care of the faith department, I’ll handle the works department.” Not so fast. You can no more show me your works apart from your faith than I can show you my faith apart from my works. Faith and works, works and faith, fit together hand in glove. Do I hear you professing to believe in the one and only God, but then observe you complacently sitting back as if you had done something wonderful? That’s just great. Demons do that, but what good does it do them? Use your heads! Do you suppose for a minute that you can cut faith and works in two and not end up with a corpse on your hands? Wasn’t our ancestor Abraham “made right with God by works” when he placed his son Isaac on the sacrificial altar? Isn’t it obvious that faith and works are yoked partners, that faith expresses itself in works? That the works are “works of faith”? The full meaning of “believe” in the Scripture sentence, “Abraham believed God and was set right with God,” includes his action. It’s that mesh of believing and acting that got Abraham named “God’s friend.” Is it not evident that a person is made right with God not by a barren faith but by faith fruitful in works? The same with Rahab, the Jericho harlot. Wasn’t her action in hiding God’s spies and helping them escape—that seamless unity of believing and doing—what counted with God? The very moment you separate body and spirit, you end up with a corpse. Separate faith and works and you get the same thing: a corpse.

James 2:8‭-‬26 MSG

Rachel gasped sharply. She was not expecting them to be so prudent in the knowledge of the holy book Adon. They were hardly seen to be reading it, even in the public place. The group was silent for a moment. Ecclesiastes read the conclusion "rules are there for a reason, to 'keep us safe' from any possible 'global pandemic' that could 'destroy lives' by 'things unseen'.

The silence in the group was followed by two squirrels quarreling atop the branches of the trees in the park, and swans fluffing their feathers. Rachel knew they had more work to Do. She knew that the way the temple was run was wrong, no mistake, but now, their foundation was being attacked and they needed to search the scriptures themselves to hear what Adon truly had to say about both sides of the equation.

Rachel was scared. Rachel felt terrified. Here she was trying to do the one thing she knew Adon wanted her to do, but all she could feel was that she couldn't do it. She might have appeared to be bold, strong and courageous in front of the others, but deep inside she was frightened, worried and scared. She was scared that things wouldn't pan out the way they had planned, or she had heard the Lord tell her. She was worried that the Elitists and Dazzlers would throw them out onto the curb. She was frightened that she would be thrown out of the community that she had been born in and belonged in all of her life, despite being The Voiceless. The Voiceless was still accepted. It was the outsiders who no longer belonged, who were no longer remembered, who no longer mattered. According to this community the outsiders no longer existed.

Rachel looked at Berry as they trudged along the corridor and into the main hall. The elitists and Dazzlers were all stationed on the platform and ready. Rachel and the Ecclesiastes gang were down below, below the stage sitting down on blue carpeted chairs. Rachel wasn't sure if she should tell him how she was truly feeling. For so long now he had looked up to her, how could she let him down now by telling her she was beginning to have doubts? Yet doubts was something that was normal to the human nature, being doubtful was being logical, trying to work things out in your own intellect. Gideon was one example, he didn't believe that God was no longer around hence the israelites was suffering and struggling under the hand of their oppressors. Stealing their food, taking everything they had. Gideon was somebody who didn't believe, who didn't look like a leader or a warrior. Gideon was someone who didn't even think much of himself, let alone anyone else. Then there was also doubting Thomas, he didn't believe that The Messiah had risen from the dead and had said that His rising had to be proven with the nails in his hands and feet. Yet when The Messiah had proven himself to him, and had then ascended into heaven right in the middle of their conversations regarding the end times and what was to come, The Messiah never actually condemned Thomas for not believing, for many of the other disciples of the king of kings didn't believe either.

Rachel pondered all these things as she sat down with the others. They had to face the consequences of their actions today, they had to confront the darkness that was there just beyond them. They had to separate the wheat from the chaff. The devourer was not making it easy. The devourer was Lucifer the enemy, parading around as an angel of light, decieving all the nations with his wicked schemes. Religion was one of them.

Rachel tried to console herself, she tried to encourage herself in the Lord, but there are times we need encouragement from others. She whispered to Berry about all that she was feeling and she had to let him know. Berry squeezed her hand and this was soon frowned upon by the Elitists and Dazzlers as they saw this warm hearted gesture. Berry handed her his bible. There was a bookmark right in the middle of the book. As Rachel proceeded to open the holy book as the leaders rustled their papers before them on the table as they sat down on the stage and the Ecclesiastes gang shifted uncomfortably in their seats. In the middle of the holy book was a note, it was like Berry had been anticipating that Rachel would have doubts, have second thoughts. It was written on pretty decorated paper that had embossed flowers all around the corner on one side. In Berry's handwriting was written: what the enemy meant for evil God can turn around for good (genesis 50:19-21) followed by all things work out together for God to those who are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28) Rachel breathed in deeply and practiced being still for a moment. Deeply inhaling and acknowledging the present moment. Adon knew what he was doing. He was sovereign over all. What was she worrying about? Rachel slipped the note out of the holy book and put it in her pocket. She would need that. Trust Berry to always have the word of Adon at hand. That's just how he was. Always prepared, always having a word in season.

Soon a silence filled the room. The tension Rachel felt in her body melted and she sat up straighter. Berry always seemed to have that anointed ability, as if he was gifted above from Adon to battle her inner demons that sometimes she knew nothing about. The elitists began to ask them what they thought they were doing, that what they were doing broke the rules of their denominated community. Rachel snorted, religious devil's, they couldn't even see it. The work of the enemy, taking away their relationship with Adon all for the name of rituals and sacrifice, laws, the devil really had his grip on these ones. Where was ruach elohim in all of these community endeavours? If ruach elohim was here these laws and discriminations wouldn't he in this place. Rachel requested to speak, surprised the Elitists decided to let her speak. Her outfit and hair colour told them she was from The Voiceless. Rachel stood up, she cleared her throat and flung her curly black hair strands back away from her face. Rachel began to speak " Then fourteen years later I went back to Jerusalem again, this time with Barnabas; and Titus came along, too. I went there because God revealed to me that I should go. While I was there I met privately with those considered to be leaders of the church and shared with them the message I had been preaching to the Gentiles. I wanted to make sure that we were in agreement, for fear that all my efforts had been wasted and I was running the race for nothing. And they supported me and did not even demand that my companion Titus be circumcised, though he was a Gentile. Even that question came up only because of some so-called believers there—false ones, really—who were secretly brought in. They sneaked in to spy on us and take away the freedom we have in Christ Jesus. They wanted to enslave us and force us to follow their Jewish regulations. But we refused to give in to them for a single moment. We wanted to preserve the truth of the gospel message for you. And the leaders of the church had nothing to add to what I was preaching. (By the way, their reputation as great leaders made no difference to me, for God has no favorites.) Instead, they saw that God had given me the responsibility of preaching the gospel to the Gentiles, just as he had given Peter the responsibility of preaching to the Jews. For the same God who worked through Peter as the apostle to the Jews also worked through me as the apostle to the Gentiles. In fact, James, Peter, and John, who were known as pillars of the church, recognized the gift God had given me, and they accepted Barnabas and me as their co-workers. They encouraged us to keep preaching to the Gentiles, while they continued their work with the Jews. Their only suggestion was that we keep on helping the poor, which I have always been eager to do.

(Galatians 2:1‭-‬10 NLT)

Berry then got up and he too began to speak. The Elitists knew he was one of them, well he used to be and this is what he said "But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong. When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile believers, who were not circumcised. But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn’t eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision. As a result, other Jewish believers followed Peter’s hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. When I saw that they were not following the truth of the gospel message, I said to Peter in front of all the others, “Since you, a Jew by birth, have discarded the Jewish laws and are living like a Gentile, why are you now trying to make these Gentiles follow the Jewish traditions? “You and I are Jews by birth, not ‘sinners’ like the Gentiles. Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.” But suppose we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ and then we are found guilty because we have abandoned the law. Would that mean Christ has led us into sin? Absolutely not! Rather, I am a sinner if I rebuild the old system of law I already tore down. For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God. My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.

(Galatians 2:11‭-‬21 NLT)

One of the elitists responded by asking "what are you trying to say?" Rachel continued by replying "what we're trying to say is that segregrating people into factions by race, breed, colour and rank is not biblical." Berry continued where Rachel left off "you have taken our freedom in Christ away from us with all these laws...Oh, foolish Galatians! Who has cast an evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ’s death was made as clear to you as if you had seen a picture of his death on the cross. Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ. How foolish can you be? After starting your new lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort? Have you experienced so much for nothing? Surely it was not in vain, was it? I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ. In the same way, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.” The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God. What’s more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would make the Gentiles right in his sight because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, “All nations will be blessed through you.” So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith. But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.” So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.” This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.” But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith.

(Galatians 3:1‭-‬14 NLT)

The elitists silenced them and spoke among themselves a moment. One of the elitists said "are you trying to imply that we should not be enforcing any rules and regulations? Do you know the chaos that would ensue if we just let people be themselves?" Ecclesiastes himself stood up and said "we are not saying for there to be no rules. Think of it this way. If a father dies and leaves an inheritance for his young children, those children are not much better off than slaves until they grow up, even though they actually own everything their father had. They have to obey their guardians until they reach whatever age their father set. And that’s the way it was with us before Christ came. We were like children; we were slaves to the basic spiritual principles of this world. But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children. And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.

(Galatians 4:1‭-‬7 NLT)

Berry continued "So now that you know God (or should I say, now that God knows you), why do you want to go back again and become slaves once more to the weak and useless spiritual principles of this world? You are trying to earn favor with God by observing certain days or months or seasons or years. I fear for you. Perhaps all my hard work with you was for nothing. Dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to live as I do in freedom from these things, for I have become like you Gentiles—free from those laws. You did not mistreat me when I first preached to you. Surely you remember that I was sick when I first brought you the Good News. But even though my condition tempted you to reject me, you did not despise me or turn me away. No, you took me in and cared for me as though I were an angel from God or even Christ Jesus himself. Where is that joyful and grateful spirit you felt then? I am sure you would have taken out your own eyes and given them to me if it had been possible. Have I now become your enemy because I am telling you the truth?

(Galatians 4:9‭-‬16 NLT)

Rachel finished with "Oh, my dear children! I feel as if I’m going through labor pains for you again, and they will continue until Christ is fully developed in your lives. Tell me, you who want to live under the law, do you know what the law actually says? The Scriptures say that Abraham had two sons, one from his slave wife and one from his freeborn wife. The son of the slave wife was born in a human attempt to bring about the fulfillment of God’s promise. But the son of the freeborn wife was born as God’s own fulfillment of his promise. These two women serve as an illustration of God’s two covenants. The first woman, Hagar, represents Mount Sinai where people received the law that enslaved them. And now Jerusalem is just like Mount Sinai in Arabia, because she and her children live in slavery to the law. But the other woman, Sarah, represents the heavenly Jerusalem. She is the free woman, and she is our mother. And you, dear brothers and sisters, are children of the promise, just like Isaac. But you are now being persecuted by those who want you to keep the law, just as Ishmael, the child born by human effort, persecuted Isaac, the child born by the power of the Spirit. But what do the Scriptures say about that? “Get rid of the slave and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not share the inheritance with the free woman’s son.” So, dear brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman; we are children of the free woman.

(Galatians 4:19‭, ‬21‭-‬26‭, ‬28‭-‬31 NLT)

The Elitists were silenced by all these biblical words, they could clearly see the work of Adon amongst these people. Rachel surprised them the most. Bold, courageous, confident and beautiful, she was nothing like what The Voiceless was expected to be like. Her dark skin and dark hair made her stand out more, but in a good way, like a statement piece of true beauty, royalty. Rachel felt them staring and felt slightly uncomfortable. Then there was Berry, one of them, clearly he was enamoured with Rachel, the union between these two was highly forbidden by their laws, yet true love could not be denied. Then Ecclesiastes, the supposed traitor amongst their midst. He had a long history with the Elitists that could be told in another story perspective to this one. Just know that he was the one who finished proverbs. The Elitists dismissed them and said that they would discuss the matter further. Unknown to them was the inner workings of ruach elohim in the unseen invisible realm, the work of Adon backing The Gospel message of The Messiah because that is what everything, what He was about. So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law. Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you. I’ll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation in the whole law of Moses. For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace. But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us. For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love.

(Galatians 5:1‭-‬6 NLT)

Now was the waiting of the verdict to come. If God didn't move, Rachel thought to herself as the Ecclesiastes gang trudged out of The Temple, they would be thrown out of the camp, much like the Israelites who had leprosy back in biblical days, destined to die outside the camp of Adon forever and ever. Unclean.

This was the start of a new beginning, Rachel thought to herself. Her and Berry stood together with the Ecclesiastes gang, there gatherings had been found out by Walter. He was the senior leader, leader of leaders in this temple community. It was now or never Ecclesiastes had said to them the night before. They had to fight for what they believed in. They had to pray for what they believed God wanted to happen. They had fasted as well, all of them. Rachel squeezed Berry's hand as they stood together in the temples parking lot as the strong bitter cold wind whipped her hair around like a lasso around her face. Berry squeezed her hand back as a form of encouragement as if to remind her of his very words to her the night before 'the battle is the Lords'. Rachel couldnt help but feel the feelings of fear rising up within her. She didn't know if she had what it takes to stand up for what she knows to be right. She didn't know if she had enough faith in the prophecy of a power couple similar to her and Berry to shake down the religious institution to bring up salvation by faith that had been discovered by Martin Luther all those years ago. Rachel remembered Martin's story, his 95 thesis to the Catholic church back in the day, another religious institution of man made doctrines that destroyed people's lives.

Rachel and Berry had spent the night praying rather than sleeping, although they did have an early morning doze for physical strength. It was NOT OKAY that people like Rachel were LABELLED and put within The Voiceless. It was NOT OKAY that The Elitists got whatever they wanted and led the church when they clearly had no heart and no power. Their only authority had come from only within themselves. There was no RUACH ELOHIM aka spirit of Adonai upon them, giving them the authority to do what it is that they were doing. Segregating the temple into factions and labelling people WAS NOT OKAY. The Messiah didn't die on the cross for them to do that, to man handle people's lives, to control their very wellbeing based on their segregated groups or which families and friends you came from. The poor in spirit always remaining poor in spirit, the proud never learning the humility of their dying King of Kings, The Messiah Mashiac Yeshua. The arrogant forever remaining in charge just because they could, the helpless and the Voiceless dying like still borns within a very dead community.

Berry let go of Rachel's hand to quickly take out his notebook that was in a brown leather satchel on his shoulder. This notebook contained all the prophecies over the temple, all the warning signs that were about to occur as they stood their ground, the promises that God had in mind for their very lives. Berry had learned to love Rachel, she was everything he had never imagined a woman from the voiceless to be, strong in spirit, strong in faith, strong in the written word of Adonai, Yaweh The God of Israel, the one true living God. He had seen her fire, her passion for the gospel grow over these past few months. He had even felt her hearts cry for the lost within the temple itself. The very people she should have hated, she had shown nothing but love and compassion. She had the greatest heart and care for the temple. It mattered to her, all the people who got hurt and all the people who hurt other people. She said she couldn't just stand by and do nothing. She wasn't that type of person. She believed God's calling on her life to the point where she knew that she could not leave the temple in the state she had found it in when she became one of them. Berry read over the prophecies and promises of Adon over the temple to remind him of why they were doing this. It had taken him a long time to get out of that religious institution mindset, and when he had learned that Rachel had spent a whole year praying for him when she didn't know him and he didn't know her, broke his heart into a million pieces. He couldn't believe that someone so low within the community would have the biggest heart of gold and hold the most loyal fiercest loyal character he had ever known. He just knew from then that she was the one. She was the one who had battled for him in prayer on her knees and that was the making of a true wife, encourager, supporter, loyalist, friend and partner for better or for worse.

Silently the Ecclesiastes gang trudged up the steps and into the temple, they had a meeting with The Elitists and the Dazzlers now, and they moved together with great silence, as the street around them also became silence. Drops of snow soon started falling from the sky, it was December after all. Christmas was coming, and now was the perfect timing for the temple to be re-born again, like Christ being born as a babe to save the world.

Sometimes you feel like an avenger, the only one with the power, the only one with the grace, the only one that can end a war, the only one that can break up a fight, the only one that can begin again. This is how Rachel always felt when she was with the Ecclesiastes gang. She always carried herself as if she was walking in one of those avenger movies in slow motion with epic background music, hair flowing in the imaginary wind and an outfit that screamed power and glory. In reality, life was anything like that. In real life you cannot be tumbling out of a plane and landing on your feet like Scarlett Johansson does in black widow. In real life you don't get hit a thousand times and survive and have enough energy and muscles to finish off the enemy. In real life you didn't always win, nobody ever knew who you are, nobody ever understood you and the battle we fight is always on our own. The real battle we fight is always within ourselves. Our own selfishness, our own pride, our own fears, our own doubts, our own worries, our own prejudices, our own hard heartedness. Our own ego, our own concerns, our own mistakes, our own pride, our own lusts of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the our own pride of our lives.

Rachel got up, she had to meet Berry soon 6am in Kensington palace, the royal gardens. They were going there for a walk with the lord, together, as a couple, because they belonged to Adon first, before they were each others. Rachel showered and felt the hot water cascading over her naked body. Rachel clambered out of the shower and creamed herself and picked an outfit that would keep her warm. Rachel put cream and scrunched her curly black hair. She ha tanned skin, she was a Filipino, she wasn't white, she wasn't black, she was tanned. She wasn't even Chinese, they were in a different league all of their own, even the arabs were a different kind of tanned skin. Each to their own. Yet the temple carried over 119 nationalities and somehow they had found a way to fit. Rachel did her makeup and put the finishing touches of lipstick on. Rachel smiled at herself, thank God she had gotten out of the system of the world's mindset, in the world and not of it.

Rachel made her way to the park after putting on a fluffy jacket and carrying her backpack, her body was sensitive to the cold, she needed all the clothing she could wear. She loved hoodies, it's like an emergency umbrella. Rachel saw berry sprinting on the stop already breaking out a sweat, a runner at best. She loved that about him, but in reality she envied that about him. She wished she could run, she wished she could love it. She hated it. Running was tiring, exhausting and always left you out of breath or with a stitch in your stomach. Rachel approached Berry and he nodded in her direction. They held hands as they strolled around the park at first, casually in sync, no words were spoken. Soon the picked up the pace so Rachel felt her heart beat rising within the confines of her chest. Soon they came to a stand still around this pond like collosum within the park. Ducks waddling about and a white swan in one of the ponds. They stood motionless in the silence taking in everything around them. It was at this moment they began to pray. Berry led the prayer, he was a prayer warrior, an intercessor behind closed doors and Rachel agreed with his prayer Matthew 18:19

“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for you." They spent an hour praying. They prayed for the temple, their mission to spread the gospel, change peoples hearts, to tearing down idols and binding and casting out the strong man aka religious spirit. They worshipped Adon together and soon peace flooded their hearts, tears ran down both their cheeks. They still had not uttered a word to each other. You see, their relationship was above human kind, their relationship was Adon ordained, with a mission and a purpose, and their purpose was to 'build up the church so that the gates of Hades will not prevail against it' (Matthew 16:18).

The prayer of a righteous man availeth much (James 5:16) and Adon was the God who answered by fire (1 kings 18:24).

It was on their slow stroll back together to the temple that they began to commune within themselves, they shared their night, their day, their daily devotionals, their feelings, their excitement, any blessings and answered prayers. Berry had a surprise for Rachel, he had a picnic of breakfast for her waiting just near the temple gate. It held the common British goods like croissant 🥐 muffins boiled egg salad and coffee in a thermos. Ecclesiastes had secretly delivered it. Rachel blushed and kissed him lightly on the cheek. Her soft lips brushed against his white skin, berry was British after all and an elitists, all elitists were white. They sat down at a bench and enjoyed a hearty breakfast together before parting to enter the temple, to serve at their given posts, berry an elitist, a leader of the tribes, Rachel a voiceless, the one that nobody cared about neither listened to, the ones the temple leaders beleived to hold nothing special. How very wrong they was.

Rachel and Berry and the Ecclesiastes gang was what the business world would call an innovative destruction to the system. They were something new, See, I am doing a new thing!(A)

    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the wilderness(B)

    and streams in the wasteland.' (Isaiah 43:19) Rachel, feeling content felt Berry's arms wrap around her as she stood in front of him with her back to him as they both faced Ecclesiastes teaching. They had become a couple in the last few months, something serious. They were close, but they honoured their biblical culture of 'no sex before marriage' that was just their way. Rachel closed her eyes and listened intently to the wind blowing her hair and rustling the big massive berch trees in the park and listened to the floating voice of Ecclesiastes as he spoke about their new innovative destructive plan that they would be putting into motion some time soon. Innovative disruption is what the business world would call it. Something new that utterly destroy the old. A new thing, Adon was doing a new thing and she was excited! New leaderships, new teams and a new way of doing things. Who ever said that life was stagnant? Adon was never stagnant. He was the one who innovately disrupted the law for the new covenant of grace. From law obedience to the death, to salvation by faith, to one man leaderships, to everyone a leader, to one man filled leader such as Moses to all people leaders like the Apostles of mashaic Yeshua.

On top of that was her relationship with Berry, something unexpected. She never wanted to be alone, she didn't do well alone, she had always wanted a partner in the kingdom of Yaweh, but she didn't expect it to be so soon. Rachel felt berry pull her closer to him, Rachel inhaled his scent and leaned back, she trusted him. She had trained him well and he had turned into something she had never expected, a warrior to the nth degree. A supernatural warrior of grace, the humblest of heart, not seeking fame, not seeking glory, but willing obedience for mashiac Yeshua. A prayer warrior out in the field and behind closed doors, a man full of the revelations of Adon, like John in the book of revelation in the holy book. Rachel was just as surprised as everybody else. Course nobody in the temple knew about their relationship, now wasn't the time to tell them. It was forbidden. A high ranking member to a low ranking member was totally forbidden, that was the rule, but Adon was doing a new thing, innovative disruption.

Ecclesiastes was talking about living your life for mashiac Yeshua, seeking Adon more than anything else, being wholehearted for Yah. Ecclesiastes gave the example if Adon had given you a ministry that was not famous and rejected by others, would you still pursue him then? Innovative disruption, Adon was doing a new thing, reviving the gospel of mashiac Yeshua.

People nowadays, especially in the temple, and many others like them, had lost their way. They had become havens for clubs for the elitists, social clubs for the pre-destined, hubs for the called and anointed. Always in reaching, never out reaching, being self focused, being of the world and not of the kingdom of Adon. Rachel had become the appointed Esther of this moment in time, also known as 'called for such a time as this' (Esther 4:14). There were many TED like sermons for the day, but no real heart wrenching changes within the hearts of the people. The people had become complacent, which wasn't necessarily their fault, for as the holy book states For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.' (Ephesians 6:12) and they, their little group of Ecclesiastes were the ones called to lead the people of Adon to the biggest repentance known to man, like the time of Jonah when Nineveh had been called to do (Jonah Holy Bible). They were preparing and seeking God's presence at all times and at all costs, while fellowshipping daily as much as they could.

Rachel and Berry were known as a couple and everyone had blessed them about it, they were not married yet, but they were definitely a team and a good one at that. Ecclesiastes could see the prophecies being fulfilled through them and he was excited just like everybody else. Berry was the one that was nervous, he was to be the head of their relationship and she had been the one that had trained him and done this longer than he. He wasn't sure how he felt about being that head. He needed his discernment to be perfect, he would hate to lead her astray, as he knew Rachel was obedient and submissive and trustworthy and fiercely loyal. Rachel was everything he had every wanted in a woman, except for the looks, she wasn't that super slim super sexy or dress in a way he had imagined his heart throb would ever be, yet there she was. If they remained longer than expected, if they lasted, then he had to learn to lead, learn to know where to go, what to do, what was what, understand things, be a prayer warrior, be a worship leader, be a pastor, a teacher and a friend. This is what Rachel had wanted in her future husband, she had told him this and he had felt the pressure. It stressed him out a little, it was pressure. He couldn't do that or be those things on his own without ruach elohim the spirit of Yaweh. He had to sacrifice a lot of his free time just to seek the presence of God to get on that high discernment level with Adon. Berry had spent many a night deep in prayer asking Adon for guidance in their relationship and searching scriptures for promises for hard times ahead. He had to take care of Rachel, his job, according to the holy book of Adon was to love her more than he loved his own body. Berry used to be quite a large man and he knew the self control he had been able to wield with the help of the holy spirit fruit of self control, if he could do that to his own body, he should be able to help Rachel with that and so much more. Berry wrapped his arms around Rachel harder, feeling the breeze around his ears he inhaled the scent of her big massive curly dark hair. She was precious to him, how much more was she the apple of Adon's eye as it is written? He had to respect that, he had to treasure her like Adon did, which meant a lot of compromise on his part, a lot of love and selfless sacrifice, like mashiac Yeshua for the bride of Christ aka the church. Berry opened his eyes and whispered to Rachel 'called for such a time as this' and they both smiled, they had a mission, they had a vision and they had a purpose, that's why they were together, for as the holy book of Adon says when God puts a man and woman together no man can part. (Mark 10:9)

Rachel was walking in the park alone, the park near the temple. She had grown accustomed to these trees and the pathways of her hiking trail. Rachel reflected back on the time that she was struggling internally and externally. Her walk here was the most profound and most therapeutic thing that she had ever done. Rachel remembered the first time, she had walked her certain trail in Kensington palace gardens with anger and vengeance as an attitude, that's how she started out. The many times she wanted to leave the temple, the many times she ended up at the same conclusion, she had nowhere else to go. She had been invited to other places, but they were a step back in comparison to the temple and did she really want to step back? Rachel also walked back then with an air of defiance, she didn't need to be in the temple all day on the designated Sunday that they told her that each temple Citizen had to be. The hike would take her, the first time, 2 hours. It was quite a trek after all, she was unsure of the areas as well. She would be seen taking photos of the trees or the people or the animals or the clouds. After a few months of doing this the hike hours was cut down to 1hr, same route, same person, but physically stronger. Still walking with some anger left in her at everything going on. Rachel also had befriended many swans, met a black swan, and the new family of swans that had many ugly baby ducklings. Rachel soon began to wonder why she and the temple felt the need to be stuck indoors in a temple building for an entire day when there was such a lovely beautiful world out here? Vibrant, full of life and people, supposedly not Christian because they were not in any temples on a Sunday..but you could never tell, you could only presume.

Rachel remembered the time she saw a baby tree being planted, this was when she was new to the whole hiking trail thing. Every Sunday she would walk past this tree and watch it grow and it seemed to coincide with her spiritual growth too. She found great joy in seeing fruits growing, not eatable yet but clearly present. She prayed then for her own fruits too. As Rachel's physical hiking stamina grew, her spiritual took a sudden turn and change as well. She realized she had been walking in defiance to the temple, but in reality she was hiking with this big heavy weight on her shoulders, like a dark cloud following her around, of unbelief. She was affected by what the temple people labelled her as and treated her as because she didn't truly believe that Adon had forgiven her. She was still working to get Yah's approval even though there was a mashiac Yeshua already in place for that. When she had realized that, she changed, her walk changed, becoming less frequent and shortened because she just didn't need it anymore.

This reminded Rachel of that book called Wild, about a woman who went on the Pacific Crest Trail that healed her as she battled against all odds, without any experience, alone. This book became a great novel, a best seller and was made into an epic movie that was soon to be incorporated and referenced into many other movies and storylines in order to make a valid point, or witty remark. Rachel knew she had walked her own Pacific Crest Trail, with a Christian twist on things, with Adon in the mix.

Rachel smiled as she began her walk today, she wasn't doing this for anything else but pleasure now. Nature has this way of healing you, and Rachel knew that the garden was like a symbolic reminder to humankind of Adon's Garden of Eden, their once close fellowship before their departure from there. That's why every human Heals in nature, because Adon created everything for us and creation speaks of him. Yes Rachel enjoyed walking with Berry along these paths at times, it was good to have a partner, but she never could forget that the best times she could hear Adon perfectly was when she was alone with him in nature, on a hiking trail or just going for a walk. Berry understood this, he was a runner, he enjoyed running and he ran to clear his head. Rachel wasn't really much of a runner, although she did try once, foolishly, to outrun him and failed when they had to run up the stairs. She had argued her case saying that he had a headstart so that wasn't fair, to which he just laughed.

Rachel and Berry, she never saw that coming. He was everything she never expected and she never expected to care so much for the man, but she did. She had trained him to the best that she could, with the guidance of the holy spirit and he had now started recruiting outsiders to join him in quest for saving those who had lost their way and had turned everything into a religion, like a Pharisee in the holy book back in the day. Much like Adon, who ignored his own people the Jews to make room for the gentiles in order to save all, it was Adon's signature move and Rachel knew Berry always copied The king of kings and lord of Lords. That's just how he was. She on the other hand was training more students in the sharing of the gospel, plus grinding in their salvation too. In reaching as well as outreaching. So, as Rachel strolled along her old hiking trail that she hadn't done so in a while, she reflected upon her own personal journey with Adon, and the difficulty this trail used to be for her, the old mindset she was in at the beginning and the renewed mindset she was in right now. She knew the time was coming for them to hold a one week prayer meeting and fasting before meeting with the temple leaders to confront them about things and they needed that giant of people to hold out their sceptor of favour to listen, they needed grace and Rachel wasnt afraid of asking for that anymore.

Rachel had her own battles to fight. Despite fighting to share the gospel to awaken the sleeping giant of the body of Christ, Rachel had to fight her own inward battles. You see, what people didn't know about her was that despite having grown up in the temple, she did go through a very dark period as a teenager. She had been led astray by the evil one and had even formed a wedding ring with him. A blood ring. She had formed an allegiance to him because this evil one had the ability to pleasure her sexually without actually touching her. Rihanna sings about it in one of her songs. Sex with air or a spirit. Rachel had to get major deliverance from that and that required speciality help because the temple could not handle that. So Rachel spent some time staying in Ellel Grange. Their location was very far and their house was much like a castle. Their grounds was all farm and woods and trees. Rachel had spent a long time just being alone with Adon there, including three ellel Grange ministers who had been appointed to service her. They had a lot of trough to get through and Rachel had become a changed person afterwards. Her aura had changed. She now had a light about her that she didn't have before. She now sat down in the temple without fidgeting. She now was lady like and graceful in her movements, not jerky, not placid. Only some of the temple people could see this change. Only some of them had 'eyes to see and ears to hear' (proverbs 20:12). Rachel was happy to be free of the evil one and his sexual hold on her. Their relationship was toxic and binding. Rachel could no longer fathom why she believed in his lies. He had told her 'no one can satisfy you like this' as he satisfied her sexual frustrations. He had even told her that even Adon couldn't meet that need because of his strict rules against sex before marriage. Adon wouldn't do that to her. Rachel fell for it.

Rachel sighed inwardly as she and Berry stood in Kensington palace, walking the grounds talking about the sharing of the gospel, talking about the radical change of the temple from holy spiritual to fleshly and inward looking. Rachel wasn't sure how he would handle such information about her. If he ever found out what she had had with the evil one, if anyone ever found out..wouldn't they all just avoid her like the plague? She was already an outcast as it is, wouldn't she be an outcast now even more? Yet Rachel didn't realize that once you have been set free from something, you are then free and have authority and power of Yeshua to free others who live in that same bondage. This bondage was a big one, not everyone had been through this one, it wasn't a common one. All of this would involve people who had been in love with darkness, those who had been fascinated by the evil one, those who loved the darkness more than they loved the light. This was her strength and this is where she held the power and the authority. Including those with idols within the new age movement and the occultic movement.

Rachel looked over at Berry and as she always did, contemplated whether or not to tell him about her past. Didn't he have the right to know? This had been a big part of her life, it practically defined a part of her freedom and authority that she had now in the spiritual heavenly realm. Rachel was afraid to do so, what if he freaked out or backed out of the Ecclesiastes movement? He had begun to believe in the Ecclesiastes movement. Rachel watched him as he trudged along beside her. Rachel was afraid, afraid that these new feelings she had been getting regarding him would lead to a broken heart and she didn't have time for that, not now, not ever. Rachel was never good at relationships, she never really knew how to handle them. So Rachel succumbed to her inner fears and remained silent. Surely she must have been the darkest person in the temple who ever lived or stayed? The only one with a secret that she couldn't tell? Not even her family knew. Nobody knew. Only her and Adon. Maybe it was better this way. Rachel had worked hard to fight for her current freedoms in the temple and she didn't want to digress.

Berry felt Rachel's cold and distant nature and wasn't sure what to make of it. Usually so vibrant, full of life, excited. Right now she was quiet, placid, like when being in the temple. Berry was hoping be didn't do or say something wrong. Maybe something was bothering her. He wanted to ask but he didn't know to broach the subject and didn't feel that their relationship was at that level yet. So he remained quiet too. They both walked in silence to the temple gathering and they knew they had to separate ways soon. It wouldn't be good being seen together within the temple at all for the elitists and the voiceless were forbidden to mix.

The author has had a very exhaustive week, so only now writing the next chapter. Enjoy!

Rachel was a very gullible person. She didn’t like being gullible, but she was such a nice person, she easily trusted people, her reasoning was why would people feel the need to lie for no reason? That was one of Rachel’s weaknesses, trusting too easily, believing too easily, a bit like a child. Yet what did Adon (Adonai) say about being like a child? “ 2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children,(A) you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.(B) 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:2-4 in other words, Rachel has the ability to BECOME one of God’s Generals (Roberts Liardon terminology) because if one had the the ability to ‘believe like a child’ exactly what Adon has written in his Holy Book, then one can enter into His Kingdom and perform signs, wonders and miracles, much like the apostles of Christ back in the New Testament. As the Holy Book clearly says “Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” Luke 18:27 (all NIV) There is nothing Adon could not do. What was it that The famous Smith Wigglesworth had said? Just Believe (reference smith wigglesworth the complete collection of his life’s teachings, endorsed by the smith wigglesworth family, roberts liardon).

It was always our unbelief that sometimes limited the power of Adon, most especially when we held back out of fear or lack of faith or lack of spiritual insight. Adon had used Smith to heal so many people that he had become legendary across many nations, a global phenomenon of Adon’s goodness, kindness, and miraculous glory and power. What lies dormant in each and every one of Adon’s children through The Messiah was the supernatural miraculous power of Yahweh that yet to be unboxed, believed in, revealed. Rachel had that deep inside of her, and yet The Temple community had lost its way so much that they did not realise that they had hidden her lamp under a bowl (Matthew 5:15) with their ‘community segregation’s’ and ‘labels.’ It wasn’t only Rachel that felt like she was suffering under the weight of labels and segregation, there were many others just like her and yet none had taken the stance that Rachel had.

Rachel had a purpose and a calling in her life, much like Joseph. Despite being in what seemed like a prison right now, there was a season and a time for everything (book of Ecclesiastes holy Bible) and right now that was training, learning, education, practice, recruiting and saving. Berry and Rachel were not exactly a couple, they were a team first, they didn’t realise that they were the prophesied couple of evangelists who would shake the very foundations of The Temple, to wake the sleeping giant (RT Kendall prophecy based on romans 8) and they were to be used by Adon for the lighting of lamps and provision of Holy Oil to prepare the Bride for Christ (Matthew 25). There was a prophecy over The Temple since the 1800s that had said members would be entering the temple and hear the word and seen leaving the temple as doers of the word (book of James 1:22-25) as well as the latter house being greater than the former “‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.””

‭‭Haggai‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Rachel read that part again, as she was reading the holy book in the temple, Adon will give peace. Well, right now there wasn’t any peace, so this would definitely be a walking by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). Rachel always spent some time in the week meditating on the prophecies of the temple. She wanted to remain focused on the task at hand, not get lost in activities that led them nowhere. Rachel wanted to keep her passion aflame, her light burning, her salt salty. For what use is salt if it loses its saltiness? How will it get salty again? (Matthew 5:13). She had instructed Berry to do the same. He had forgotten about them too because he spent so much time preparing sermons, he was one of the new funky leaders of the temple and he could only see so far ahead of him. He had forgotten to walk by faith and not by sight. Rachel was glad to remind him of that.

Rachel may be behind in the life the world would say is the timeline of life, but she was always just right on time because she was on Adon’s timeline, as the holy book says she was in the world and not of this world, she was chosen by Adon that’s why the world hated her, that’s also why her mind was different from that of the world. That’s why one of the many struggles of Adon’s children was to abolish every love of things in this world to embrace and make room for the love of Adon. That’s why Rachel had to set her affection on things above and not on things beneath and Rachel’s fruits were about to grow for all the world to see (reference John 15:19, Romans 12:2, 1 John 2:15, Colossians 3:2 and Matthew 7:16-20). Berry was the same, they did the same things together, they happened to do a lot of things together. They were not a couple yet, but they were a team. They were preparing to wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12) for that is what it means to be a born again Christian. Harry Potter has no mark on this type of life because as The Messiah had said “I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.”

‭‭John‬ ‭14:30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The Fire

Rachel was a luxurious kind of woman. Despite not being cut from the same cloth as most of the Elitists, Rachel enjoyed luxury services, especially ones that offered her healing and therapeutic services, such as spa’s and massages and everything pleasurable. She may not have the greatest income, but she splurged just as expensively as the rich and famous. She believed that she deserved it because she had earned it with all the trouble that she had experienced in her life. She was still young, in her 30s so life basically had just begun for Rachel, but life was already tough, if she could have the pleasures along the way then maybe it might be bearable.

Rachel had spent a good amount of time with Berry and right now there she was on speakers corner saying something to the Ecclesiastes gang and Berry was watching “for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now. So it is right that I should feel as I do about all of you, for you have a special place in my heart. You share with me the special favor of God, both in my imprisonment and in defending and confirming the truth of the Good News. God knows how much I love you and long for you with the tender compassion of Christ Jesus. I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:5, 7-11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Berry understood their life, they were a family, because they shared the gospel of Christ Jesus. That’s what United them, in their suffering in the name of christ. Berry liked this. He wanted to be part of this new movement of God. New movements of God always took time before catching on and being accepted by everyone. Right now the majority of the children of God had become stuck and lethargic in religious associations and cliques. They would say their events were about sharing the gospel, but if you actually went to these events the only thing you would see and hear were the celebrity gospel singers, or celebrity preachers. A lot of them had turned into TED like motivational speakers proclaiming to be speaking for Christ, or business presentations proclaiming to be gospel sharing. When you picked away at it you wouldn’t find any gospel sharing in it at all, except maybe for the invitation at the end of the meeting for people to give their life to Christ. How could people truly understand what they were giving their life to, apart from getting a fleshly desire to join a community or a group of people standing together, doing activities for some specified purpose? Berry understood because he had been a long time in this system, always about events, never about people, always about the music, never about the heart of worship. Always about the strengths of people, never about the ‘power of Yah.’ Berry watched Rachel speaking and felt something stirring within his spirit. A stirring to share to share the gospel, a stirring to rely on Adon’s spirit rather than his own strength and abilities. A stirring of fire deep within his bones, like a message was coming, similar to that of Jeremiah when he received messages from God to share to the Jews. It was like a fire burning within his bones that he could not contain. Berry heard Adon’s voice quite clearly now and this is what he heard:

“The Lord gave me this message: “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” “O Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!” The Lord replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!” Then the Lord reached out and touched my mouth and said, “Look, I have put my words in your mouth! Today I appoint you to stand up against nations and kingdoms. Some you must uproot and tear down, destroy and overthrow. Others you must build up and plant.””

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭1:4-10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

God was wanting to do some demolishing and rebuilding huh? Obviously before you could rebuild you had to demolish the old for the new to be rebuilt. Berry felt the fire within his own bones and felt the excitement coursing through his veins. Rachel got off the platform on speakers corner and approached him asking him what he thought. He shared with Rachel exactly what Adonai had told him. Rachel felt that fire within the bones transfer onto her. Partners for Christ. Forever and always, little did they know it, that they would be The Couple of Christ.

Rachel felt that fire within her bones and this is the message she heard Adonai giving her personally to share:

“The Lord gave me another message. He said, “Go and shout this message to Jerusalem. This is what the Lord says: “I remember how eager you were to please me as a young bride long ago, how you loved me and followed me even through the barren wilderness. In those days Israel was holy to the Lord, the first of his children. All who harmed his people were declared guilty, and disaster fell on them. I, the Lord, have spoken!” This is what the Lord says: “What did your ancestors find wrong with me that led them to stray so far from me? They worshiped worthless idols, only to become worthless themselves. They did not ask, ‘Where is the Lord who brought us safely out of Egypt and led us through the barren wilderness— a land of deserts and pits, a land of drought and death, where no one lives or even travels?’ “And when I brought you into a fruitful land to enjoy its bounty and goodness, you defiled my land and corrupted the possession I had promised you. The priests did not ask, ‘Where is the Lord?’ Those who taught my word ignored me, the rulers turned against me, and the prophets spoke in the name of Baal, wasting their time on worthless idols. Therefore, I will bring my case against you,” says the Lord. “I will even bring charges against your children’s children in the years to come. “For my people have done two evil things: They have abandoned me— the fountain of living water. And they have dug for themselves cracked cisterns that can hold no water at all! “Why has Israel become a slave? Why has he been carried away as plunder? Strong lions have roared against him, and the land has been destroyed. The towns are now in ruins, and no one lives in them anymore. Egyptians, marching from their cities of Memphis and Tahpanhes, have destroyed Israel’s glory and power. And you have brought this upon yourselves by rebelling against the Lord your God, even though he was leading you on the way! But I was the one who planted you, choosing a vine of the purest stock—the very best. How did you grow into this corrupt wild vine? No amount of soap or lye can make you clean. I still see the stain of your guilt. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken! “Israel is like a thief who feels shame only when he gets caught. They, their kings, officials, priests, and prophets— all are alike in this.”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭2:1-3, 5-9, 13-17, 21-22, 26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Together, Berry and Rachel plus Ecclesiastes gang would be the ones bringing the ‘new fire’ to Christ’ temple and reigniting the fire that was once lost to the ‘lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life.’

The Training

The Chosen One, was Berry the chosen one? That was the question Rachel was battling with that question for some time and she knew that Ecclesiastes had set up a meeting with her and him some time this coming week. The Chosen One was the guy who was prophesied to be ““I’m thunder in the desert: ‘Make the road straight for God!’ I’m doing what the prophet Isaiah preached.””

‭‭John‬ ‭1:23‬ ‭MSG‬‬

The Chosen One was the one prophesied to be the one to shake the very foundations of The Temple, breaking down the strongholds of the religious minds within the house of Adon. Rachel felt excited to be training him, if he was The Chosen One. Rachel was also quite nervous because she had prayed for him for One whole year and had began to get quite fond of him with uncontrollable bubbling joy within her whenever she saw him, like a wellspring of fresh new living water bursting out of her soul. Rachel had to ask Holy Spirit to help her to conceal everything she was feeling inside. She couldn’t show any emotion, or rather she didn’t want to because then he might notice and realise what she had done and realise that the most likely conclusion for him breaking away was because of her prayers for him. Rachel put her hair up in a warrior style high ponytail. Clearly she had to be strong. She had to keep her wits about her. As Rachel made her way there she did her best to keep her composure. Meeting Berry was one of the most frightening things she had to do.

She saw him standing there in the park waiting for her. He wasn’t particularly handsome, but then again she never did notice him before until the revelation that he was to be what he was now at the temple which led to her praying for him. He was always invisible to her before that. If he was the chosen one then this would one of those critical points in the story of ones life where everything could curtail to success or failure. That added pressure was a bit much but Rachel handled it well. Rachel approached Berry and felt her pulse quicken, she smiled at him and welcomed him and took him to the bench near the river where the swans were swimming. The whole atmosphere and scenery made for a very therapeutic moment for both of them. They both needed that break. The temple management had done them both some damage so they both had a lot to get through.

Rachel soon began to explain that the people in the temple should not be divided the way it was, that the voiceless were not completely voiceless. Didn’t God say that he would use the weak to shame the strong and the fools to shame the wise? Rachel went on to explain that arguments Between the people regarding who was the better preacher was also not biblical, it was idloatry. “But for right now, friends, I’m completely frustrated by your unspiritual dealings with each other and with God. You’re acting like infants in relation to Christ, capable of nothing much more than nursing at the breast. Well, then, I’ll nurse you since you don’t seem capable of anything more. As long as you grab for what makes you feel good or makes you look important, are you really much different than a babe at the breast, content only when everything’s going your way? When one of you says, “I’m on Paul’s side,” and another says, “I’m for Apollos,” aren’t you being totally infantile? Who do you think Paul is, anyway? Or Apollos, for that matter? Servants, both of us—servants who waited on you as you gradually learned to entrust your lives to our mutual Master. We each carried out our servant assignment. I planted the seed, Apollos watered the plants, but God made you grow. It’s not the one who plants or the one who waters who is at the center of this process but God, who makes things grow. Planting and watering are menial servant jobs at minimum wages. What makes them worth doing is the God we are serving. You happen to be God’s field in which we are working. Or, to put it another way, you are God’s house. Using the gift God gave me as a good architect, I designed blueprints; Apollos is putting up the walls. Let each carpenter who comes on the job take care to build on the foundation! Remember, there is only one foundation, the one already laid: Jesus Christ. Take particular care in picking out your building materials. Eventually there is going to be an inspection. If you use cheap or inferior materials, you’ll be found out. The inspection will be thorough and rigorous. You won’t get by with a thing. If your work passes inspection, fine; if it doesn’t, your part of the building will be torn out and started over. But you won’t be torn out; you’ll survive—but just barely. You realize, don’t you, that you are the temple of God, and God himself is present in you? No one will get by with vandalizing God’s temple, you can be sure of that. God’s temple is sacred—and you, remember, are the temple. Don’t fool yourself. Don’t think that you can be wise merely by being up-to-date with the times. Be God’s fool—that’s the path to true wisdom. What the world calls smart, God calls stupid. It’s written in Scripture, He exposes the chicanery of the chic. The Master sees through the smoke screens of the know-it-alls. I don’t want to hear any of you bragging about yourself or anyone else. Everything is already yours as a gift—Paul, Apollos, Peter, the world, life, death, the present, the future—all of it is yours, and you are privileged to be in union with Christ, who is in union with God.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭3:1-9, 16-23‬ ‭MSG‬

Rachel went on to explain that the foundation should be Christ, the gospel needed to be preached to the ends of the earth, like the original prophecy over the temple in the 1800s “Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:18-20‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Berry understood what Rachel meant, he knew that the temple was more focused on numbers within the groups, statuses of the groups, which people belonged to what groups, events and routines within the house, finances coming in for the payment of all those events and everything utilised within. Everything was about self reputation and self establishment rather than gospel sharing the message of Christ. He soon began to see Rachel completely differently, knowing her to be in The Voiceless, she had to have been trained to be quiet and submissive, but seeing her like this with that fiery burning passion of sharing the gospel message, she looked different, strong, efficient, knowledgeable, full of the Spirit of Adon and full of His Word. He had never met such a fiery woman before and that was something he was definitely interested in, although he said nothing. He didn’t want to disturb that fire within her, a distraction she didn’t need right now. Rachel noticed him checking her out and she felt embarrassed slightly, no one had ever paid her any attention like that before, it wasn’t something she was used to. Rachel was used to being ignored, being on the fringe of society, invisible, unseen. Rachel didn’t know what to make of this, yet her mind kept floating back to the idea that He could be The Chosen One and she was so looking forward to Adon using him and maybe even her to break down that stronghold of the religious spirit.

A New Strategy

Rachel tried to play it safe but she couldn’t. She tried to be the one to make things right, but she didn’t. Instead what happened with Pin was Pin taking her own game and using it against her. You see Rachel knew Pin was a gossip because all the time she would come to her to gossip because she was quiet. So Rachel tried being the opposite and being more vocal, sharing some of her private moments with her, only to find that Pin was ‘as wise as a serpent’ (Matthew 10:16). Pin had outmanoeuvred her on all accounts and instead of Rachel exposing the truth about Pin the tables had turned and Pin had spread lies about her instead, especially to Kai. Now Kai was upset with her and some of the others within The Elitists and she didn’t even know what to do. Who would have thought anyone would have paid her any attention, and yet they had. Rachel knew she had to spend time in prayer with Adon about it. Rachel felt like running to Ecclesiastes for help, but she couldn’t be running to him all the time something bad happened. So what was that bad thing that happened? Rachel had ignored the voice of Adon’s spirit when he had told her ‘love covers a multitude of sins’ and instead divulged information to Pin about Kai who she had been talking to using Anonymous Eyes on Social media. The conversation was about Pin, what Kai thought of Pin and he was warning his fans on social media about this stalker of his. Rachel had accidentally shared this somewhat private conversation thinking that maybe it would help things along, bring her and Pin closer, but instead it had backfired because she couldn’t divulge further information about things she had shared with Pastor Martin. She had told Pin that Pastor Martin knew everything about her in every way and how she felt guilty for the Anonymous Eyes account. The things Rachel had shared with him had nothing to do with Pin at all, in fact Pin was never mentioned. Pin didn’t understand this and got very upset thinking that Rachel may have been saying things to pastor Martin about her, which she didn’t when she kept refusing to share screenshots of her conversation with him.

Rachel sighed, those conversations were private, how could she share them? It was very personal, the things she shared, and some of them were of a sexual nature that only a pastor could truly handle, including something dark and foreboding in her past and some trickling of it in the present. Rachel didn’t know what to do how. Kai was paying her no mind now and she felt bad, she didn’t cover him with Pin, she should have listened to the voice of Adon’s spirit rather than trying to come to a logical conclusion all of her own making. Rachel decided to scrap Anonymous Eyes, she was now compromised and she had to start again. Coming up with a new name and what kind of content she wanted to share was difficult. Anonymity..maybe, a little too similar maybe. Clash of the Titans, that sounded perfect, they were all clashing right now, poetic. Rachel started her new account and decided her content would be out of this world content, something completely out there. Something relatable to the world, but something completely biblical too. Everyone on this earth was looking for ways to escape it. Everyone on this earth was always looking for a way out, somewhere to go because life here on planet earth was hard and difficult. Making money wasn’t easy, relationships were even more difficult, passions where harder to pursue when nobody believed in you and reputations were harder to keep when you had everyone believing in you. No one was safe from this mindset of escaping. Everyone was struggling with something. From the plastic surgeon nurse or doctor, to the CD musical album maker to the classical piano player, to the dancer, the actor, rapper, wedding designer etc. Everyone had something they wanted to escape from, there was no denying that. Rachel set up the account and had to choose what was her first post to be. It had to be something relatable to all those kinds of people even though they were all different. After a few minutes Rachel made a choice, fantasy worlds. Rachel knew this was bordering on being what the temple could label ‘worldly’ but her fantasy worlds photographs would have a written hidden message of biblical standards in there, so the word of Adon would be read and liked but people outside of this temple and many others would not realise that those words belonged to Adon.

Weeks later Rachel’s Clash of the Titans account was getting a lot of likes, she was happy about that, she found it quite soothing to have an anonymous account. No one could label her The Voiceless there, they couldn’t see her or any part of her. She had a voice here, she was sharing Adon creatively, people were understanding Biblical context without realising it was actually biblical context. Oh, if only she could break forth and proclaim the gospel of Mashiac Yeshua! That would destroy the work Adon’s word had already begun, she had to use wisdom here and introduce him slowly. There were times to be quiet, there were times to be soft spoken and slow and times of fast and loud. This was the softly spoken slow times. Rachel even added Kai, she smiled as she saw his smiling face on social media, then she had to check herself, she had to be professional now, this as a business account after all, practically. She couldn’t pretend to be some mushy fan.

Ecclesiastes rang Rachel waking her out of her slumber of social media and brought her back to reality, they were to have some more training tonight in the temple after Charles would lock up. She had asked what training was happening but he didn’t say, other than a special guest. Someone new was joining their group, and they came from the temple, one of the Leaders had broken free from this religious spiritual hold the devil had. Rachel felt astounded and excited all at the same time. Who on earth could it be? Rachel packed up her gadgets, Kai stalking would have to wait till later, she had things to do now.

Rachel arrived at the temple and watched Charles lock up like always and they all clambered in shaking with excitement at who it could be. Soon they would find out. It was Berry! The temple’s secretary, one of the highest ranking officials there. He was the one in charge of all the groupings and small groupings in the temple. Berry stood on the platform sharing only part of his story of how he had broken free from this religous spirit, and how he was ready to become the warrior for Christ to bring people back to the one true God, to the good news of Christ, to the gospel that saves, to the mind of Christ.

Rachel was astounded, she had spent a year praying for this man once, she had a vision of him before he had become an official high ranking leader in the temple, a vision that he would be what he was now. In that year of interceding for him and his calling she had grown quite fond of him and felt alarmed at herself. Now she was just confused, where her feelings for Kai, her kryptonite Lust? Or was her new ‘deep inner joy bubbling within her like a new spring’ for Berry Love from Adon? Was Berry The Chosen One? Rachel couldn’t decide. You see the distinction between love and lust may be difficult to discern without Adon’s revelation. So Rachel had a lot of praying to do. Praying, waiting and listening. On top of that she knew that now that Berry had got out, it was her duty as second in command to this group to remind and train him in the new language of Gospel sharing.

The interview

I wish I could feel better, Rachel had thought to herself. Her life was hard, everything was always a fight. She always had to defend herself, stand up for herself, stand up for what she believed in. A lot of the time nobody cared, nor paid any attention. Rachel had to work extra hard just to be seen and heard sometimes, which did mean becoming a nuisance to many members of the temple, to which they never could understood. They couldn’t see beyond past their own annoyances. Right now Rachel stood with the Ecclesiastes gang. Ecclesiastes was going to interview Rachel in front of the gang, just some questions to get to know her better, understand her better. It was about learning to trust your leaders and to prevent them from being seen as idols that could topple and fall at any given moment. So Rachel sat in the armchair and Ecclesiastes sat in the opposite armchair and he informed her that he would ask her a series of questions and all she had to do was answer straight from the heart. Being honest and being real was more important than being right than wrong. What mattered was Rachel showing her humanity as well as her spirituality, in order for the eaglettes to have a balanced view of her. Rachel confirmed that she understood and braced herself for the coming questions. Ecclesiastes had warned her last night that these questions was not something you could study for, or plan answers in advance to. All she had to do was share herself with the team for a stronger and firmer bonding time.

Ecclesiastes began the interview:

1. How did you meet the Lord? A relatively easy question. Rachel answered: I met the Lord when I was 8 years old. I was in Catholic Church and I was in the Sunday school and we was colouring in Jesus on the boat with his disciples. I remember being transported both physically and mentally, in every sense of the word, all of my senses and physical sensations to being in that boat with Jesus and his disciples fishing. I felt the greatest peace and joy that could never be experienced on planet earth (true story, reference my book on Amazon Rachel Leynes The Power and The Glory). This was very important to me, being raised in an abusive home and an abusive school, I didn’t want to leave. Mum came to pick me up from Sunday school and she wouldn’t let me finish my colouring in of Jesus in the boat. I got very upset with her. After we left the meeting, she pinched me walking down the road and that just made me all the more determined to get back to that place as soon as possible. I loved Jesus then.

Ecclesiastes continued:

2. When did you next encounter Jesus and did you give your life to Christ then?

Rachel answered: no, I didn’t know about those things yet. I next encountered Jesus in another Sunday school setting, I was older by then, don’t remember the age. The Sunday school teacher was reading the Bible story about Jesus on the boat fishing, again, and then she had this big massive net on the wall and we each had a fish and we wrote our names on the fish and put it in Jesus net. After that I ran around school shouting how I belonged to Jesus, I was his child, Mary was my mother and Adonai was my father.

Ecclesiastes and the crowd was like ‘wow, so amazing’ (true story, reference my book Rachel Leynes, the power and the glory Amazon kindle only). So Ecclesiastes continued:

3. When exactly did you give your life to Jesus and accept Christ as your lord and saviour?

Rachel answered: when I was 13 years of age, my mother was invited to a bible study, but she didn’t want to attend. I so badly wanted to attend because one day when I was left to fend for myself at home (illegally) at 10 years old, I watched this cartoon on tv about a little girl searching the entire world for a scarce bible. It was shown to be as precious. So, without knowing about prayer I asked God for one, and so the bible study invitation was I knew my answer, God giving me one. So I went to the bible study and was amazed and ‘happy’ to be around people who loved the holy book like I did. Who had a passion as much as myself. I was then allowed to go to their church service and when the evangelical pastor called for anyone who wants to give their life to Christ, I did and I literally saw in my minds eye a door of my heart and Jesus knocking and me opening and sunshine ray of light coming, bursting through the doors into my darkness, or the darkness.

Everyone was silent, nobody had really taken the time to get to know Rachel like this, they all thought they knew her, but clearly they underestimated her relationship with Adon short for Adonai.

Ecclesiastes continued further:

4. Have you ever been persecuted for the faith?

Rachel sighed, yes she had. Rachel recalled the time in high school, year 7, she had just given her life to Christ at 13 years of age and so excited she proclaimed it to all the students of a Catholic school. How they mocked at her. Most especially Margaret. In class, and she didn’t mock Rachel per se, but she mocked Adam and Eve, Gods creation creative beginning and the bible itself. Rachel cried, she loved mashiac yeshua, Hebrew for jesus saviour of the world. People laughed at her crying because they said she wasn’t being mocked, her God was, the bible was. What they didn’t understand was, when they mocked her God, they mocked her, because Yah was her God and they were one. Two weeks later Margaret’s mother died and the whole class came to the conclusion it was her God that took her mother’s life. They soon became afraid of Rachel’s God. This led up to the point that all bullying against her stopped, plus when someone shouted at her a year later and she cried, that girl named Khadesha fell down the stairs, unharmed, in school. The whole class cornered khadesha and begged her to apologise to Rachel in case Rachel’s God got angry again, they said it was better to be safe than sorry. She didn’t understand their fears but feeling the weight of their peer pressure she did and Rachel only knew this because she heard them talking and she pretended she didn’t hear at all.

This also included the time Ruth in her older teenager days laughing again at Rachel’s faith and she bowed knelt on the ground in front of Rachel in mockery and proclaimed she worshipped Satan. Rachel didn’t know what to say, but just walked away. Nothing she could do about that, obviously.

On top of that was the persecution at home as well. Her parents were unbelievers and when she was still in primary school Rachel loved the holy book and Yah so much that she sprayed the bible with perfume and her mum came in and took the bible and hit her with it and said in a very stern yet also threatening voice “do you really think God is happy with you?” Rachel’s mother also tried drowning her in the bathtub shouting at her ‘you want Jesus! This is Jesus!’ Rachel shed a few tears (true story guys, this is all my true story, reference again my book on Amazon kindle only Rachel Leynes the power and the glory! Yes it’s been and still is a hard knock life, #loveshouldnothurt by Fabio d’andrea against domestic violence!)

The crowd was on the verge of tears unsure as how Rachel got through all of this, alone. She wasn’t in any church yet, she didn’t know about being born again yet!

Ecclesiastes continued:

5) do you struggle with any flaws? What are your weaknesses and strengths?

To which Rachel replied that her strength was in her God. Adonai covered for all of her weaknesses and she quoted the bible “when I am weak then I am strong” and how “God’s strength works best in my weakness.” She acknowledged before how she couldn’t pray and how she desperately wanted to be a good prayer warrior, so she asked Adon for strength in this, his strength in this and that he did, her prayers within the prayer teams only got stronger. Her strength was only in worship, in the talent that the temple never knew she had because of being labelled as The Voiceless, she was a worshipper of Yah, a singer, a musician, someone who always went back to the heart of worship rather than showcasing a performance. She didn’t want to mention Kai but she did, he was a platform performer outside of the temple and that always clouded his judgment in terms of leading worship because it always led to performances and shows, great for evangelistic drawing crowds, but not really from the heart. She then continued to say that she is not stating that Kai didn’t have a heart of worship, neither the elitists, it was just the way things were, for now.

Ecclesiastes decided to end the interview with one final question:

6) what’s next for you Rachel?

Rachel thought a minute and replied that she was considering writing a novel, many novels in fact, ones that showcase the true glory of Yahushua, something that no Harry Potter book could ever outshine.

Rachel stepped outside after the interview and breathed in the fresh winter breeze, she was glad that was over, being questioned like that in front of a crowd, nerve wrecking, but she was glad to show that Adonai was exactly who he said he was, most especially in her life.

Family

Rachel heard the most funniest thing she could ever hear of by one of the temple’s members. When Rachel mentioned that ‘gossip’ was not okay this member replied back “what if Jesus made this bad thing happen so that this woman would blurt out all of her problems, therefore Jesus is the one gossiping to me?” Rachel had the hardest fitting laughter of her life! She hadn’t laughed in a long time, because of all her none-sensical problems. Yes, maybe Jesus made this woman share these stories with her so she could say just that and make her laugh? 🤷‍♀️ whatever, it was funny and Rachel had a good laugh. Gosh, it’s been so long, Rachel had thought to herself, she hadn’t been able to laugh for such a long time, it felt like such a relief. Rachel remembered that bible verse that talked about laughing, what was it again? Oh right, “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” No wonder Rachel felt so dried up of late. It had been a long time since her last laugh. Her entire life was always so serious, she needed to learn to loosen up and just chill.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭17:22‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Rachel had walked away from that conversation having a laugh. Everyone was eyeing her up in the temple as she left one of their many meetings laughing like a hyena! Clearly that was one disaster of a conversation, but a hilarious one at that. Rachel even remembered one of the Korean elderly man in there who owned a shop, when Rachel tried to bring up the topic of gay and gay parade and asking him whether or not as a business owner and as a born again Christian would he be taking part by displaying gay posters advertising the parade walking by their store or just close up, would there be discounts or anything to celebrate the passing gay parade. The elderly Korean man had said “why the gay needs to make parade? I’m Korean, we don’t make a parade and shout ‘we are Korean!’” Rachel had another laughing fit at that one. Rachel was only interested in this because she knew the revelation prophesies of the End Times. This included persecution for being a believer of Christ Jesus and if any Christian took a stand against what the world was doing because of their faith in Christ, they would get reprimanded for it, it was deadly serious. Yet, you had to laugh at this old man, he was an old man so you could never expect him to fully understand things the way they were, plus his English wasn’t very good either. Rachel needed more laughter and fun in her life, her life was by far, far too serious. Problems faced her left right and centre, sometimes she just needed to escape and have a little fun, although sometimes she would forget about that and end up feeling heavy with all of her burdens. Yet God always reminded her to take a time out whenever she needed, and sometimes, what was meant to be a ‘serious conversation’ turned into a comedy type of conversation, just like that conversation about gossip. Rachel looked at her smiling face on her phone, rarely did a smile ever play on her lips, yet there it was, and she looked beautiful. Rachel wished she could look like that all the time. You see, Rachel found it difficult to hand over her problems to Adon, why? Because she was so used to fending for herself, sticking up for herself, fighting for herself. Being brave, putting on a brave face, being strong, yet all that did was destroy the beauty God made her to be, the beauty of rest.

Rest, it seemed like such a dirty word to the surrounding world outside of the Temple, but Adon loved rest, in fact He invented it. Rest in his love for you, unconditional love at that, rest in his mercy and his forgiveness, rest in his grace and rest in his perfect love that casts out every fear. Rest. That was what Rachel needed to learn and she was struggling with that. It was even worse when she was in a panic, worried or anxious or angry. She had the tendency to make rash decisions out of the futility of her emotions and that had never served her well. Rachel well remembered the many times she had been angry with Kai in the past, when he had wronged her, or she felt he had wronged her, some of the times she had felt or heard he was gossiping about her or said hateful or teasing things to her that hit a nerve. Rachel remembered the many times she had gone into a fit of rage and responded with the greatest anger known to man, the most epic showdown of vengefulness. None of this was on Adon’s agenda for her, but she was human and she was new to the faith, new to being social, new to life. Rachel did not react well at rejection. Rachel did not react well to rudeness, or blatant prideful and mean abruptness. This was another one of the many planks in her eyes. This all the more was a great reminder to her that she couldn’t throw stones at anyone within the temple, even if they did everything wrong. She had to have faith that somehow a child of Yah lived there, and that conviction was necessary, not condemnation. A chance at redemption, a chance at confession and owning up and taking responsibility for your failures. Yet, a lot of them refused to take responsibility for their mistakes, and that’s where a lot of the problems were.

Rachel had spent most of her life in the temple praying against all these things, the way everything was run, how they made her feel, the hurtful rejecting things they did to her, and guess what? Adon had heard. Adon had most recently removed 90% of its leadership, and right now they were in a transition of change and hiring new leadership. The Elitists had changed so much that only a few were recognisable. Rachel was sure that was because she had given to God all the little and big injustices that happened in that house to Adon and He was shaking things up. This is what Adon had said “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:19‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Rachel was looking forward to this change, maybe then something good might happen for a change. Maybe the segregation, isolation, labels and masks and would finally disappear, maybe for once they could be the ‘family’ that Adon had created them to be. As Jesus had said “For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12:50‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Family, that was all she wanted. Family.

Side note, the author is writing this under much difficult circumstances.

Rachel had no idea, she had no idea that Andro was Coopers equal partner in the Elitists. Rachel had seen Cooper post something about recording or producing one of her music videos and songs and since Rachel had been a long time fan, Rachel decided to check out who this person was that she was working with. She had liked a video of his regarding opening a wine bottle with a drill and she found it to be really funny and tagged some of her family and friends who were outsiders to this community. Rachel’s friend responded and so she replied back, of course. Then, out of the blue, Andro had direct messaged her and threatened her by saying he will ‘report her for harassment.’ Rachel found this to be very confusing, what and who and how exactly was she harassing? So she enquired further in order to understand, but instead things had escalated. So Rachel having had enough drama within The Temple already she told Andro that he was rude and mean and he called himself a disciple of Mashiac Yeshua? Then Andro said something she never expected him to say because she didn’t know him and neither he her, he had said ‘I am NOT KAI’..rachel was shocked, surprised, aghast. How did he know about her and Kai? These people were Yeshua’s people but they were gossiping about her, otherwise how else would he have known about her and Kai? He then blocked her, but Rachel had already taken screenshots of their conversation. Then Rachel opened up her Anonymous Eyes Instagram account and found him and her on there and checked out all their many posts together, it didn’t click to her that they were an item, she just thought that maybe he was some producer that Cooper had hired and since Rachel was one of those who supported her financially Rachel was interested in how she went about producing her products and services. Rachel finally realised they were an item when she noticed ‘how many’ times they were together ‘intimately’ eating and drinking, dining together in restaurants and taking photos together. Rachel sighed as she noticed they were an item. Of course they were an item, that explained how he knew about her and Kai. Obviously Cooper had a big mouth and was being a brat about it. This left Rachel with having to explain to outsiders what happened to their now, None-existent dialogue. They were surprised to find such ghastly behaviour within the confines of a Temple and what kind of witness was that? Rachel got hurt, of course she did. She cried, but Rachel was also very very angry. What they did was wrong, and she really felt like she needed to prove that. She contacted the people in charge, she knew the leaders didn’t care about her nor listen to her, but she still sent it in anyways, that was her prerogative. Rachel allowed herself to ‘wallow’ for a few days. She has this tendency to seek vengeance or wreak havoc upon a persons personal life, why? Because she was created a ‘warrior woman’ and warrior women always fight for what they believe in, fight for the voiceless. Yet Rachel had to practice self control, which was hard, but she had to do it. There was nothing else she could do other than give her pains to Adon and worship Him as her Yah and ask for His Shalom. That’s how His kingdom worked, so that’s what Rachel did. She had been trained well by His Spirit, no thanks to the Temple leaders who paid her no mind.

Rachel had other problems going on as well right now, she was looking after some young eagles within the group of Ecclesiastes and she was responsible for their training now. Rachel had to plan what to do with them later on, what was she going to say and do with them? What did the Holy Spirit want her to do? It was then the Holy Spirit spoke quietly into her spirit about teaching the young eagles to ‘be real with Him.’ So far the Eagles had mastered much of the arts of religious pious activities of how to behave as Disciples of Christ, but their was no ‘relationship’ in their ‘religion.’ Holy Spirit informed rachel that she needed to help them break that barrier of being super formal and to ‘just be’ with Adon. To turn to him and call to him for help as they are, even if they were all broken and battered. Rachel was led to “I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night. The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭121:1-8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Rachel had to teach them the art of turning to Yah for help, and not just declaring things they didn’t mean neither truly believed in. They had to ‘be real’ with their Yah. So Rachel began preparing for the lesson along these lines. At least it was something she could do.

Identity

If there was one thing about The Voiceless that could somehow prove that The Temple didn’t treat or think of them as anything they themselves thought of themselves it was this. The Voiceless had become accustomed to the labels the leaders and some of the people had put on them. Whenever there was social gatherings they never attended. After every service they wouldn’t mingle because they didn’t think they belonged. They ‘allowed’ others to label them and place them in boxes that they felt imprisoned by, that they themselves couldn’t get out of. Whenever anyone said hello them they would either run and hide or pretend they had a really important meeting to go to, or a very important phone call, email, or text message. They would cower in fear every time people from other groups were around them, not only because they didn’t pay them attention, but because they ‘allowed others to make themselves feel inadequate about themselves.’ They ‘believed’ in the opinion of others that’s why they held so much power over them.

Rachel remembered the first time she had encountered Kai, their first meeting she paid no attention to him. She thought ‘elitist’ so he should be like everybody else. She didn’t look at him, she never looked at his face. Until one day she had found a photo of him and felt attracted to his face. So the next time they encountered each other in The Temple she plucked up the courage to look at his face and she was gobsmacked because he looked ‘exactly’ like his picture, no filter added because this was real life. Rachel was so astounded that she stared at him for quite some time, his eyes pouring into hers..until she realised he was no longer a photograph and that he could ‘see her’ and so she had run away from him, only to be followed by him because he then ran after and she ran into a crowd of Elitists going home from rehearsal and so she walked amongst the crowd, invisible and he couldn’t touch her, he couldn’t come near. There she felt safe, ‘invisible’ ‘unseen.’ So it was there she remained, for as long as she could. Rachel then kept up the art of hiding, the art of pretending, the art of lying, another one of her ‘planks in her eyes’ that sometimes she failed to see. She lied pretending she hated him, when in fact it was the complete opposite. She pretended she had no heart, she didn’t care, but she did. Rachel feigned ignoring him, paying him no mind, but she spent a lot of time looking at him through ‘anonymous eyes.’ This was an Instagram account that was anonymous, in no way was associated with her and that’s where she kept her tabs on him. Rachel just couldn’t give it up and she wasn’t willing to.

There was one community to which Rachel belonged and wasn’t treated as The Voiceless. Rachel was part of the Pinoy Community, people from the Philippines with natural tanned skin. They welcomed her because ‘she belonged’ ‘she was a part of them and ‘they understood each other.’ Rachel had prayer meetings with them, feast days and just hanging out days. For this Rachel was grateful. Filipinos were known for their first class hospitality, as a nation they were number one and Rachel was proud to be a part of that, even if she wasn’t always volunteering. Over the years Rachel had to learn ‘who she was in Mashiac Yeshua’ and ‘what she meant to Adon’ and ‘how He really thought of her.’ She had changed, unlike some of the others within The Voiceless. Ecclesiastes and the gang had helped her to see the truth as well. Rachel had to battle on a daily basis the weak mentalities of people within The Temple who liked to remind her of her place within the community, someone who had no say, someone who had no rights, someone who was voiceless. She refused to accept that Adon made her voiceless. He had given her a voice, he had given her an identity, he had given her his unconditional love. Rachel had to fight for what she believed in. She believed in The Gospel and that’s what she was fighting for. She was fighting for every voiceless person within the community, every shunned member of the community, every person who ever felt ‘isolated,’ ‘masked’ and ‘quarantined’ in their own filth, loneliness, sorrow, depression, hatred, bitterness, even the vengeful ones. That’s who Rachel was fighting for. That’s why she was so passionate. It was more than just about herself. It was much about them as it was about her. Adon would never treat them or think of them they were thought of and treated as. Rachel had holy anger passion and ‘that’ came from Adon himself.

Rachel recalled everything she had read in Adon’s Holy Book about this, from what she could remember “It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone. It’s in Christ that you, once you heard the truth and believed it (this Message of your salvation), found yourselves home free—signed, sealed, and delivered by the Holy Spirit. This signet from God is the first installment on what’s coming, a reminder that we’ll get everything God has planned for us, a praising and glorious life.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:11-14‬ ‭MSG‬‬

As well as “Christ brought us together through his death on the cross. The Cross got us to embrace, and that was the end of the hostility. Christ came and preached peace to you outsiders and peace to us insiders. He treated us as equals, and so made us equals. Through him we both share the same Spirit and have equal access to the Father. That’s plain enough, isn’t it? You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He’s using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he’s using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:16-22‬ ‭MSG‬

For Adon had promised them as a prophecy over The Voiceless that Rachel had been praying over with the gang ““Fear not; you will no longer live in shame. Don’t be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you. You will no longer remember the shame of your youth and the sorrows of widowhood.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54:4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Rachel stood tall and confident as she was approaching The Temple on a Sunday as finally recalled “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:31-39‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Rachel knew that overwhelming victory would be hers in the end, theirs, The Voiceless, even if it didn’t look like that right now because she was ‘walking by faith not by sight’ 2 Corinthians 5:7
