LIVING FROM THE ETERNAL MIND
The secret of never being deceived
Quite a few people have asked me: “How can you write so much?” “How can you remember so many details?” “Do you have a photographic memory?” “How can you hear from Father so much, when I don’t?” How do you retain so much of the Word?” “How can you journal so much of what He is teaching, but I can’t?”
I am an average older woman, so I find the questions strange. But, I’ve discovered that reasons for asking have ranged from gentle curiosity, which is sweet, to confusion of understanding yet still kind, from intellectual frustration, all the way to bitterness, hostility, jealousy, and hate-filled anger, followed by cruel revenge, that has included slander, lies, and attempt to totally destroy my work for Abba, and smear my name. I don’t mind the sweet, genuine questions.
I had very little money when I lived in Aqaba (Jordan), and for most of my eight years there I ate a diet of tuna salad and pasta with fresh tomato sauce. It wasn’t until about 2006 that I had enough to get a little chicken once a week. So, when people in Aqaba, Israel and America would ask me how all of a sudden I had a photographic memory and could read a book and remember details, and teach and remember so much Scripture without looking it up, I’d laugh and say: “It’s the tuna”. Tuna is supposed to be a “brain food”. Later I’d say “its all my studying of the Word”. But that always brought blank expressions, where as the “tuna” joke brought a laugh.
I got good grades in college. I studied hard. I didn’t do well on my IQ test my senior year of High School. According to it I had a “C”-level intelligence. I got A’s on tests in subjects I was interested in, like with most young people. But, I was a lazy kid too—so got B’s when I could have gotten A’s. In other words, my friends, Yedidah has an average mind of an average human. I’ve always had childlike faith, so I’ve lived a life of miracles, and I’ve had a passion to study the Word most of my life. I have been in the ministry since 1963, but was ordained twice, and then incorporated my ministry both around 1990.
But at the end of 1998 Abba instructed me to give away all that I had and move to Aqaba. I obeyed, and moved to Aqaba, Jordan, in April of 1999. It was there that I dissolved the ordination and ministry to just be led by the Spirit and learn from Him. I began studying the Word with the Spirit, as I had most of every day alone in my apartment there on the Red Sea. As I began studying, He taught me. He did the “cross referencing”. He brought me confirmation in His unique way. I read whole books, studied whole subject, went from Genesis to Revelation on every subject to learn what He said. I set aside what man taught. I would study, and then write and counsel those with questions, for 14-15 hours a day, 24/6. On Shabbat, I’d get before Him and learn from Him what He wanted to say to me. I kept up this routine up for most of the last eleven years. I started out
Page 1
with an address book of about 15. I am now reaching 10s of thousands. I just obeyed one day at a time, and He did it all!!! That’s all He asks—obedience as a
servant – one day at a time, and that we get out of the way and let Him do it!
For years I had taught in Bible Colleges in America and Africa—my courses were mainly the Tenach, and later in Revelation. In 1966, I graduated from a leading Bible College, now a major University. I thought I knew the Word then, but I found out that I had barely scratched the surface--for His Word has layer after layer of revelation knowledge that has to be dug out like diamonds from a mine. Only He has the equipment to do that kind of mining. He is the Teacher of Truth—unless one learns from Him, they stay tainted with error and ignorant of the overall picture.
John 6:44-45: “No one is able to come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. It has been written in the prophets: `And they shall all be taught by Yahuweh’. Everyone, then, who has heard from the Father and learned, comes to Me”. [Isaiah 54:13; Jeremiah 31:34, for examples]
Who are you a disciple (a “taught one”) of? -- a human teacher, or the Spirit of Yahuweh? No human teacher can bring you to the real Messiah. Only the Spirit of Yahuweh can do that?
Right now, human teachers are leading His people into apostasy at a major rate--“denying even the Master that bought them”. These are false prophets, deceivers, evil and wicked people, hiding behind a mask of religiosity and apparent knowledge of the Scriptures. Remember! Satan and his angels know Yahuweh and Yahushua, and know His Word very, very well, and thus Ya’cob 2:19: “…the devils believe and tremble”. II Corinthians 11:13-15: “…such are false emissaries, deceptive workers, masquerading as emissaries of light. It is not surprising then if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end shall be according to his works”.
I have been acquainted with Torah/Scripture teachers, some in Israel, who have an impressive knowledge of the Word. Their followers are totally enamored with their intelligence. “Have you heard so and so?” on their lips to everyone. Take note: These deceivers have a spirit of “seduction”--like a spider attracts a fly to its web, where the fly sticks tight, and then is slowly devoured by the spider. Yet, their own personal moral standards that they hide, are way below par, and their hidden agendas are well masked. “By their fruit you shall know them”.
Many are “big names”, but all are revered, honored, even “canonized” by their followers. Yet their fruit is that of Lucifer, and they are teaching, along with truth, lies that will send their hearers into the lake of fire if they embrace what they teach. Yet, the Greco/Roman mind is obsessed with obtaining “knowledge” – and Lucifer is giving it to them – masked in truth.
I John 2:26-28: “I have written this to you concerning those who would lead you astray, but the anointing (Yahuweh’s Presence within you that you receive
Page 2
when you are filled with the Spirit)) that you have received from Him stays in you, and you have no need for any man to teach you. But, as the same
anointing teaches you concerning all, and is true and is no falsehood, and even as He has taught you, you stay in Him. And now little children stay in Him that when He appears we may have boldness and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.” (Italics mine)
John 15:26-27: “And when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth who comes from the Father, He will bear witness of Me…”
The great falling away, apostasy, in now in full progress—the battle for the minds of men--to prepare the minds of people for the lies of the coming “Beast”, who has the spirit of the “anti-messiah”. I John 2:18; 4:1-3—the only usage of “anti-messiah” in Scripture—says that “anti-messiah means to deny the Father/Son relationship of Elohim. [Refer to: “Exposing the Lies of Monotheism”]
John 16:13: “And when He comes--the Spirit of Truth--He will guide you into all truth…He will announce to you what is to come”.
For the most part I have written about hearing from the Spirit as a major part of each article—to learn Abba’s nature, ways and thinking, by letting the Spirit of Truth teach. I’ve exhorted people to stop running to man and his “opinions” and get it straight from the Source.
Would you like to drink water from its source—pure, and filtered through rock, cool and delicious? Or would you rather drink water that comes from a sewer that has had chemicals added to it to make it appear good? That is the difference between learning from the Spirit who teaches all of His taught ones (disciples) the same, and learning from man who has not been taught by the Spirit, but from the teachers who taught him, and conclusions of his mind.
The soul (mind with its reasoning, logic ad intellect, its emotions, and will that decides based on the input of the reasoning) is earth bound. It contacts the world through the five senses. It is limited by emotions, by the availability of good input, and fleshly feelings, which stem from the seat of its sin-prone nature. The soul works through the brain and fleshly desires to satisfy “self”. We need it to function in this world, but need to keep it bridled by the spirit.
The spirit, on the other hand, in the center of us—stomach, reproductive, bowels area--if re-born by the Spirit into a “new creation”, is a portal to the realm of the eternal. Then it has a “the mind of Messiah”--the mind of Elohim. It is there that He speaks to us--comforts us, instructs us, teaches us, and leads us. It is through this portal that we enter another dimension--His dimension--where we “sit with Him in heavenly places”, where we “abide under the shadow of the Almighty”.
But, I find that the western mind, programmed by the Illuminati evil ones from birth to death in Greek and Roman thinking, is almost incapable to understanding the simple principle of hearing from Him in their spirit. I have talked about and
Page 3
written about living out of the spirit by the Spirit for at least 20 years, but almost no one understands this simplicity in the western world. In the world of the east,
yes--it is basic understanding. I marvel as I meet those who actually do live in His Presence--no religious spirits, no mysticism, no unreality, no charismatic weirdness, just living in His Presence. Yet most quote Psalm 91 like it was a piece of garlic to ward off the devil.
We choose at some point to either live as the world, controlled by our fleshly desires to promote and satisfy the flesh, or we choose to deny the flesh and enter into His realm. There is a point of no return for those who choose life in the flesh. There is no fear of Yahuweh in the heart of most!
Ya’cob warns us not to be “double minded”. Yes, we have two minds—one of the flesh and one of the spirit: Ya’cob 1:18: “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Ya’cob 4:8: “Draw near to Elohim and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands you sinners, and purify your hearts you double minded”.
One day I was teaching with all my heart to a group in Tanzania. As I was speaking, the Spirit began speaking in my spirit, giving me revelation to give to the people. While my voice kept giving Scripture and teaching from my mind, I was carrying on a conversation in my spirit with the Spirit. When He finished, I stopped, and said to the people: “Father has just given me a revelation to give to you”. I gave it, and they jumped up shouting and rejoicing!
When I had the malaria and almost died in Tanzania in 1997, and could not remember my own name, nor could I sit up for even a few seconds, yet I was able to preach, propped up with pillows, to a large congregation. I heard the Spirit speaking in my spirit and I repeated what He said, the translator translating. I went on like that for 2 hours in 3 different meetings. I didn’t know what I was saying, for my mind was gone, but my spirit was alive.
Romans 8:5-9: “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit mind the things of the Spirit. For the mind of the flesh is death. But, the mind of the Spirit is life and peace. The mind of the flesh is at enmity against Elohim, for it does not subject itself to the teachings (Torah) of Elohim, neither indeed is able. And those who are in the flesh are unable to please Elohim”.
We know throughout the Tenach that the judgment of Yahuweh was most furious on the sons of Ya’cob, whether they did the outward works of the Torah or not. We must obey the Word as it is stated and taught by the Spirit, but being a religious Pharisee does not guarantee eternal life. Yahuweh’s anger burned against the teachers of Torah, for “they do not know Me!” You can be totally perfect in guarding the Torah, and know the Tenach by memory, but if you do not walk in the fruit of the nature of Yahuweh, and live the spirit of the Torah, you will know His fury. He has nothing to do with the religions of man!
We all make choices in life as to how we prioritize our days. What we get done in
Page 4
a day is our priority! We all choose to follow the dictates of our culture, or break loose and follow what is in our heart. I worked secular jobs for years--teaching school, and teaching music in other schools, office work, secretarial, retail sales, radio and advertisement sales, etc. etc. Then I taught private piano lessons for
25 years, directed church choirs, directed plays for school students, and also raised four children, all while going through my own private mental and emotional hell for over 30 years. Yet, for most of my life since 1962, I continued to minister almost daily in some form of work for the Kingdom. From age four my priority was work for Abba and for my Savior. I began going to the nations around 1992. He ground me to powder and then reconstructed me … now there is nothing in me left except to love Him, obey Him, and prepare for His coming!
In Jordan, I spent 12-14 hours a day in study of the Word and let Him teach. I retained all that knowledge because it went into my spirit, not into my puny head!
This morning I just sitting, savoring one of those awesome little fried pies that the Jewish bakeries in Israel make on Friday mornings, and thinking about people looking at me with puzzled looks on their faces and asking how I can write so much, remember so much, and know so much. Abba spoke to me a revelation of something I had never thought of before--so simple, yet so profound—so profound the mind has a hard time understanding it. It’s just been my lifestyle all my life, but without this clear understanding:
He said: “The mind of the spirit has no limits of the flesh. It has direct contact with the eternal realm. It taps into the mind of Yahuweh. Its capacity to retain is limitless. The natural mind has limits—it has an “IQ”—Intelligence Quota--it can be measured. The mind of the spirit has no such limits, nor can its ability to learn from the Spirit be measured. The spirit is a portal into the eternal realm. It is as unlimited as the Creator Himself desires.
He further instructed: This is why: “…those who have will be given more”. As we learn and obey, He expands the mind of the spirit. As we obey, we learn more, and are led by Him. Thus, in our intimae relationship that does not make Him jealous, we can know His nature and ways and thinking, and eagerly do His will. He shares His mind and heart with those He trusts. He is always speaking in a myriad of ways. Yet, He has to have a pure channel that will receive what He says, and act on it. The re-born spirit of His faithful servant hears and obeys.
I opened the eternal portal when I was four. At six I was well aware of a true new birth. By age nine I was ministering His Word to others. [Refer to: “The True New Birth” and “Forty Ways Elohim Speaks to His People”]

As I began relinquishing my will (soul) to Him, He has poured more and more of His mind, understanding and wisdom into my spirit, as I have laid down “self”.
Those that stay in the realm of the five senses can have a religious head belief
system but can never tap into His realm. Thus they stay spiritually ignorant, deceived, earth bound, and worldly. They have knowledge without Him.
There is no fear of Yahuweh. There is no re-born spirit. Thus, they cannot hear from Him. No one who lives in the “flesh’ can please Him. Those who stay “earth-bound” in a matrix of their own run here and there to hear teachers and rabbis whom they consider smarter than they, to learn what they have to say, and yet with all of their notebooks full of notes on what they’ve heard, they have totally unchanged lives. They have a head full of knowledge, good or wrong, and that’s all. They have no relationship with the Creators. Thus, when Messiah comes, they will not be prepared to meet Him, and He will say: “Depart from Me; I never knew you”.
Only those taught by the Spirit can know the nature, ways and thinking of Abba Yahuweh and really know Messiah Yahushua, the Son. Only those who are truly taught of the Spirit will not be deceived!Having unlimited access, unlimited capacity to know what He is saying is the awesome privilege of His servants!
