Jesus' First Miracle Reveals a HIDDEN Message Most Christians Miss

 Jesus Christ' First Miracle Reveals a HIDDEN Message Most Christians Miss 

What is the relationship between John's Gospel and Genesis - and what does the wedding at Cana reveal about the New Covenant? 

In this focused exposition, one reads John 1-2 closely to show how John's prologue is an inspired exposition of Genesis, how the Logos (the Word) is the agent of creation, and how the water-to-wine miracle at Cana points to the Lamb, the New Covenant, ritual purification, and the recreation of creation in Christ. 

One ties John 1:1-18 to Genesis 1-2, explains the symbolism of light and darkness, counts the days from John 1:19 through John 2 to reveal the "seventh day / third day" pattern, and demonstrates why the wine (the fruit of the vine) points to Christ's blood and the better covenant ratified in that blood.

Chapter 1: Introduction - reading John 1 and John 2 

We're gonna start at John 1 :1, cause you're gonna see what's happening in John Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. But this is where I need your undivided attention.

 LISTEN carefully because I'm trusting the Spirit to enable me to plumb the depth of this miracle and try to dig out all the gems and the diamonds and the gold. 

Chapter 2: John 1 prologue: "In the beginning was the Word" (Logos) and creation theology

 John 1 :1 begins with the words, "In the beginning was the Word , the Word was with God and the Word was God. 

He was with God in the beginning. Now pay attention, in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning, right.

He was in the beginning with God. They'll translate it variously. Then it says, "All things were made through Him and nothing has been made without Him. that has been made in Him was life and that life was the light of men. 

That's John chapter 1 verses 1 to 5. In the beginning there was this divine person, this eternal person called the Word. This Word was an intimate communion and fellowship with someone else who is called God, meaning GOD the Father in this particular context.  And he's been with GOD the Father from the very beginning. And then it says, "All things were made through Him," through the Word. The Father used the Word (Logos) to create the entire creation , to bring all creation into existence. 

All things were made through Him and nothing has been made without Him that has been made. 

Pay attention. And then it says, "in Him was life and that life was the light of men." 

What John is doing, he's giving you an inspired exposition of Genesis Chapter 1. We believe inspired because we believe the Holy Spirit inspired John. So the Holy Spirit fully incorporated John's unique personality and communicating the revelation of Christ through John.

Chapter 3: John as an inspired exposition of Genesis 1 (light, life, and the Word) 

So the gospel of John is inspired by the Holy Spirit. That's what we believe. John Chapter 1, verses 1 to 5 is an inspired exposition of Genesis chapter 1  particularly verses 1 to 5. John is expounding, explaining Genesis chapter 1, verses 1 to 5 and showing us where Jesus fits in Genesis 1.

 Everyone with me? 

John is trying to show you where we find Jesus in Genesis 1. The second connection with Jesus in John 1 and Genesis if you read Genesis 1 : verses 3 to 5. It talks about darkness and light and God separating the light from the darkness and He called the light day and he called darkness night.

 The second connection with John 1 is in Genesis 1 verses 3 to 5, where you'll find the mention of darkness and light. 

And God separating the darkness from the light calling the light day and the darkness night. That's in Genesis 1 verses 3 to 5.

Do you see that? That in Genesis 1 verses 3 to 5, if you see that, that's where you get John 1: 5 .

John chapter 1 , verse five, it says, "and the light shines in the darkness and the darkness could not comprehend it. Could not overcome it. 

Chapter 4: Darkness and light: theological echo of Genesis 1:3-5 

 So in John 1 verses 4 to 5, we are told in Him, the logos, the Word, Jesus, in Him was life. That life was the light of men. 

And verse 5 says, and the light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot comprehend or overcome it. 

You see the echo to Genesis 1. Do you see the connection with Genesis 1? So what you find in John 1 is an inspired exposition of the Genesis account of creation where John shows you, where Jesus fits in Genesis 1 .

Here you see that John 1 clearly is echoing the Genesis account of creation. That's an arguable how many days did it take GOD to create the heavens and the earth.  Six days. There was evening morning, day one, day two, day three, day four, day five, day six and then He rested on the seventh day, right.  Six days God created heavens and earth, on seventh day He rested, right. Seventh day, right.

And then He created male and female to become one flesh, holy matrimony, right. Male and female come together, become one flesh, husband and wife, one flesh.

 In fact, when did God finish the creation and entered his 7th day rest. 

 When he created the female to become one with male, right. Did you get that? OK, but because now with that said, let's count the days. 

Chapter 5: Narrative counting: John 1:19 onward and the sequence of "the next day" 

 Are you ready now to count the days of John 1 and John 2 leading to the wedding at Cana in Galilee.   Because everything has been deliberately placed there by the Spirit for a reason. There is nothing accidental or coincidental in the Bible. 

Everything is deliberately designed by the Spirit to point to the glory of the One True God, to the glory of the God-man, Jesus Christ. John 1:19.

After the prologue in John chapter 1, verses 1 to 18. John 1:19  reads "and this is the record of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, who art thou?"

 So now John the Baptist (John 1:19). Now let us count the day. Count the next day, that's day 2. The next day, are you counting, the next day John the Baptist seeeth Jesus coming unto him and saith   "behold the Lamb of God, which take away the sin of the world" the next day so that's right John 1:35 again the next day, what day is that, that's day three. The next day John 1:43 the day following that's four days, isn't it, the  fourth day. Four days right the day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee and find the disciples and say unto them, follow me. John 1:43 describes how Jesus called Philip to follow Him the day after He had called Andrew and Peter. The day following, count four days. 

Guys, now let us go to John 2 :1 and the third day count the third day from the fourth how many is that third day from the fourth. 

Chapter 6: The pattern of days leading to the wedding at Cana (counting to the seventh day)

How many is that? Third day from the fourth,  the seventh day and there's a wedding Celebration.

An echo of the Genesis account of creation where God created all things and He ended with a wedding, male and female .

 Did it sink in. God ends creation with a wedding, Male and female. Seventh day, there's a wedding. Remember in Genesis chapter 2 verse 23 what did Adam call his bride. Genesis 2:23 and Adam said   "this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh, she shall be called woman because she was taken out of man." Adam said, "woman." Pay attention here. What does Jesus call Mary? 

Chapter 7: The wedding at Cana: Mary, the servants, and the miracle 

In John 2:4 Jesus saith unto her, "Woman, what I have to do with thee; mine hour is not yet come."  Here is the revelation, the Holy Spirit speaking through Jesus to Mary. Genesis 2:23 "you shall be called woman, Isha, from out of issue came and in Genesis 3 she's called woman all throughout, "the woman you gave me" now let's read John 2 verses 1 to 4 again,  the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee and the mother of Jesus was there right. And both Jesus was called and his disciples to the marriage, to the marriage okay. Now watch here , and when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus said unto him, "they have no wine". And then Jesus said, "woman".  Jesus said unto  Mary, "Woman, what have I to do with thee, my hour is not yet come." Now notice,  like in Genesis 3 there was a woman who told the man what to do, to eat of the fruit of the tree. And in this account, you have another woman telling the last Adam what to do. But in this regard, this woman wasn't telling him to do something evil.  So you have two "women", contrasted the woman in Genesis 3 who tempted man to eat of the fruit of the tree, right. Thereby sinning and disobeying God. In John 2, you have another "woman" telling the last Adam, they have no wine but what she tells them, servants in the wedding feast, to do is not sinful because her request brought about the manifestation of the Glory of God in the life of Jesus.

 And what the first woman do, in Genesis , she ate of the fruit of the tree, right. What is this second woman asking Him to do? To turn water into wine, right. And we know wine is the fruit of the vine, the fruit of a tree. The fruit of a vine. Why do I say fruit of the wine ?

Chapter 8: Wine as the fruit of the vine and its connection to Christ's blood (Mark 14) 

 Let us go to Mark 14: verses 24 to 25. What did Jesus call the wine that points to his blood. Mark 14 24 to 25 and I am gonna tie it in with John 2 in a minute.

 And Jesus Christ said unto him, "this is my blood of the New Testament which is shed for many, this cup is my blood ."

But now notice what Jesus Christ calls that wine that points to his blood. "Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until that day that I drink in anew in the kingdom of God."

 The woman of Genesis tempted the first man to eat a forbidden fruit from a tree. 

This woman, in John's gospel of the new creation tells the last Adam to provide the fruit of the vine something good. Not bad.

 OK , everyone with me, there so far, you seeing that John 1 is an inspired exposition on Genesis.

So you see this woman is telling him to turn this water. She knows he's gonna do a miracle. I am saying "water" because the text says Jesus Christ used water, to turn it into wine, to turn it into the fruit of the vine. And do not forget what the wine represents. The wine points to His blood. The wine points to his blood.

You are with me so far. Wine points to the blood of the lamb shed to purify us of sin, right. To cleanse us, to purify us, right.

Everyone got it or no. I just want to make sure because now I want you to see what is going to happen. Let' us read verses 5 to 10. "His mother saith unto the servants, whatsoever he saith unto you, do it." You get ready to get blown away. 

Chapter 9: The six stone water pots: ritual purification, Jewish rites, and their transformation 

And there were set there six water pots of stone. Six water pots of stone used for what? Used after the manner of the purifying of the Jews. 

This was the water pot that the Jews would use to cleanse them for ritual purity, ritual cleansing. 

Now pay attention. Why Jesus turned those water pots into wine and they filled them up to the brim and he saith unto them draw now and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine and knew not whence it was but the servants which drew the water knew, the governor feast called the bridegroom and saith unto him, every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse you bring out. You don't bring out your best wine last but thou has kept the good wine until now. Do you know what that means?

 Jesus Christ has brought us a better way, a better covenant,, a better law, a better way than the old ways, than the ways of the Jews and a better covenant to the Old Covenant.

 So God saved His best for last.

 The best is not the Old Testament. 

The best is not the Hebrew scriptures.

 The best is not the Mosaic Law, the mosaic covenant.

 God's best is the New Covenant ratified in the blood of the Lamb.

So God saved the best for last, the better way.

 And here those water pots, pay attention now, the water pots that the Jews used to be richly pure. What you're being shown there is you are not purified by the rituals of Judaism.

Your purification comes only by the blood of the Lamb. The lamb which the wine points to. 

Chapter 10: "God saved the best for last": the New Covenant, better sacrifice, better law 

 So it is not a coincidence. The six water pots used for purification, ritual purification, ritual cleansing, Jesus Christ turned those water pots into wine.  

Because he was pointing to a greater spirituality: 

 "You are not purified by the ways of the Jews, you are purified in my blood which the wine points to." 

So what you're to get from this miracle is this: God has now saved the Best for last and His Best has now been revealed in Jesus Christ. Because he brings a better way, brings a better covenant, brings a better sacrifice, right. And a better law, a better creation , a new creation.

 There is really no significance in six here but you can say six is the number of man. 

So okay, let me explain again. You can say that six represents the number of man. This is the way of man. Man's ways. 

But the wedding takes place on the seventh day and the wine, the water transformed into wine on the seventh day. 

Because the seventh day is God's rest day. It is His provision of everlasting rest found in the Lamb   whose blood is shed for our purification. 

You see that John chapter 1 and 2, when you tie it in together is pointing to the Genesis account of creation and it's recreation in Jesus Christ.

 Because John's gospel is the story of Christ recreating the creation that He made at the beginning that has fallen, which He will now restore and purify all believers by His blood which the wine pointed to, right.

That's so far you got it, right. Six water pots, the number of man, right. Man's ways which cannot purify.

That is why the wedding takes place on the seventh day . Because cause the seventh day is God's rest. It is His provision of everlasting rest through faith in Jesus Christ , the Lamb whose blood is shed, which the wine points to. 

Is it making sense now? Now, if you still doubt that this is meant to point to Jesus' death and resurrection and his shed blood, I don't know if you paid attention to John 2:1. The wedding feast takes place on the seventh day, but it was also the third day.

Chapter 11: Third day / seventh day pattern - resurrection, recreation, and the last Adam 

 John 2 verse 1. Let's see how many of you paid attention.

 John 2 verse 1, on the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee , third day, the seventh day which is the third day. The third day is when the Lamb  of God rose victorious. You caught it? Now, if you start at John 1 verse 19 and you read all the way to John 2 verse 1, this was the seventh day which the wedding banquet took place, which was the third day / seventh day. 

Third day, no all coincidental , you see it is. Let it sinking in. Making sense, before I move on to the next point .

So now, notice the contrast. The woman of Genesis tempted the first Adam to eat of the fruit of the tree and sin. The woman of the new creation, right, the re creation of the heaven and earth, and the mother of our Lord  Jesus Christ asked him to provide wine, the fruit of the vine , which he did .

And in so doing, Mary, this woman became instrumental in bringing about God's timetable.

Time is one of the great paradoxes of the Bible. 

God exists in His own time in heaven. 

He created both our time, and our universe (1 Corinthians 2:7; Hebrews 1:2; 11:3). 

He can intervene at any point in our time. 

He also knows the outcome of human history and reveals it through the Bible. The Bible is spoken from both His and our frame of reference. 

Genesis 1 and 2 record the events of His first six creation days. 

The rest of the Bible records human time, which takes place during His seventh day of rest. 

Revelation 22 and 23 record His eighth day when He will create again. 

Moses, the author of Genesis, wrote in Psalm 90:4: “For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, . . ..” 

Psalm 90 is Moses’ only psalm. Thus, he desired that believers pay attention to the two kinds of days. 

But this does not mean that we can compare God’s time to our time by a fixed standard of measurement. 

Peter explained that our time has no meaning to Him. He is free to intervene at any time: “with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.” (2 Peter: 3:8(b)). 

This, however, does not mean that His time has no meaning to Him. 

He promises to forget your sins after Jesus Christ brings His believers to heaven (Hebrews 8:12; Isaiah 43:25). 

If He were forced to continually relive your past, present, and future sins for all eternity, He could not forget your sins in the future as He promises.

This study provides seven lines of authority to establish that the Genesis days are God’s days and not ours. 

First, in both the Old and New Testaments, God reveals that the universe and Earth are “old” or “ancient.” An old universe would only be possible if the Genesis days are His days and our corresponding “eras.” 

Second, the Bible declares that knowledge of God’s prior acts of creation can be revealed by studying star light. The Bible also proclaims that the universe began from nothing. Then, 12 separate times, the Bible proclaims that God “stretched” out the heavens like a text curtain. Thousands of years later, modern astronomy confirmed each of these claims. These facts also reveal that the universe is old, something which is only possible if the days are God’s days. 

Third, the absence of references to the Sun until day four and mankind until day six are also inconsistent with either a solar or a human frame of reference. 

Fourth, while the Genesis days are defined as “sunset until sunrise,” the Bible defines a human day as spanning from “sunset to sunset.” 

Fifth, when read together, the creation accounts in Genesis one and two preclude a solar 24-hour frame of reference. The number of activities that Adam undertook on the sixth day would not be possible for a human during a solar day. 

Sixth, the absence of an end to the seventh day and other Bible verses establish that mankind is living in God’s seventh day. On His eighth day, He will create again. 

Finally, until the seventeenth century, commentators mostly agreed that the Genesis days did not record days as we understand them.

how often they pray, how long they pray, and what stops them from praying more often.

We Asked 7,454 Christians How Often They Pray… 

And The Results Were Surprising

((En français, ici))

We surveyed 7,454 Christians across the United States over two years to find out more about how often they pray, how long they pray, and what stops them from praying more often.

We split the respondents by age and asked them to choose only one answer that best represented the frequency of their prayer. I’ll walk through each response, what we think it means, and finally what we’re doing about the responses we’ve seen.

Who Participated in This Survey?

We worked with a team of 50+ volunteers across 20 major cities to complete this survey. Volunteers approached people on street corners, parks, and public spaces to conduct the survey. A huge thank you to all the volunteers who helped make this research possible!

Prayer is personal, private , public and powerful with purpose 

Participants were first asked if they identified as Christian. If they said yes, they were asked their age and then the following questions:

1. How often do you pray?

2. How do you feel about your current prayer frequency?

3. How long do you typically pray?

Those who indicated that they wanted to pray more were asked what stopped them from praying more frequently.

Participants were not given any incentive to participate in the prayer 🤲🏽 survey.

How Frequently Christians Pray

We started our survey by asking all 7,454 Christians how often they pray.

We can see that younger Christians are praying much less frequently than older generations. 

Only 10 percent of Christians aged 18 to 30 pray daily compared to 37 percent of Christians over 50 years old.

How Christians Feel About Their Prayer Frequency

Regardless of how often they pray, we asked each age cohort to rate their satisfaction with how often they currently pray. We can see that 51 percent of the Christians aged 18-30 are dissatisfied with how often they pray, which is the same age group that prayed the least frequently.

How Long Christians Pray Per Prayer Session

We then asked Christians how long they pray when they do pray and we see that across all age groups, most prayers are less than one minute.

What Stops Christians From Praying More Often

We then asked the 2,915 respondents who indicated that they were dissatisfied with their prayer frequency and what was stopping them from praying more often. Because of the smaller sample size, we did not split the response by age. Being too busy and being unsure of what to say are the biggest factors here.

What Does This All Mean?

We see that Christians aged 18 to 30 typically don’t pray daily. But we also see that they want to pray more frequently.

That’s exactly why we create written prayers that help people of all ages find the right words to connect with God across any subject. Our goal is to make it easy to start the conversation with God at any time of day.

Most Christians Only Pray For Less Than One Minute at a Time

This is one area where the differences between ages are much less pronounced and most Christians pray for only a short amount of time. Imagine trying to maintain a relationship with the most important person in your life by having a 30-second conversation with them…once a month. For a large portion of the Christians we surveyed, that’s exactly what they’re doing.

That’s why we pray to remind Christians that they can pray any time of day and about anything.

Most Christians That Want to Pray More Are Too Busy or Not Sure What to Say

We think these two major reasons are closely connected. If you’re not sure what to say and feel short on time (like most of us do) you’re going to feel like you’re too busy. We belive that by creating helpful and easy-to-use written prayers created by theologians, pastors, and ministers we can help people solve both of these problems.

What Do You Think?

These are just a few of the insights that we think this research shows but it all points to one thing for us: we’re on the right track with our mission to make prayer easier for the typical Christian.

But what do you think? 

What insight stands out the most for you?

God’s Will and Our Prayers

It’s essential to understand that our prayers must align with God’s will. 

When we acknowledge that God hears our prayers, we also realize there’s a beautiful mystery in His answers. 

Sometimes the things we desire may not align with His plan for us. 

Yet, we can trust that any prayer said earnestly, with an open heart aligned to God’s purpose, is heard. 

The scriptures remind us to bring our requests before God but also to be prepared for His guidance in responding. 

Our willingness to submit to His will not only strengthens our relationship with Him but nurtures a profound understanding of His love and wisdom. 

Together, let us explore these Bible verses that speak to this key aspect of prayer.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” – Romans 8:28

Responding to God’s Voice in Prayer

In the stillness of prayer, we often find God speaking to us, guiding our hearts and minds in ways we may not expect. 

When we acknowledge that God hears our prayers, we open ourselves to receive His wisdom and direction. 

Prayer is not just a  one-way monologue but a two-way conversation where we are invited to listen as well. You speak, God listens, God speaks, you listen to Him and obey.

Engaging with God allows us to cultivate a deeper understanding of His character and purpose in our lives. 

As we meditate on the scripture regarding God’s attentiveness, let us remember that listening is as vital as speaking in our prayer life.

The Community of Prayer

As a community of believers, we are called to lift each other up in prayer. 

The Bible emphasizes the importance of gathering together and supporting one another in our prayer lives.

Pray in community is a powerful way to invite God into our collective experiences.

What Does the Bible Say About Prayer Frequency?

Prayer is a crucial part of a Christian’s spiritual journey. But how often should we pray? What does the Bible say about prayer frequency? Let’s delve into the scriptures to find out.

Firstly, there is no set number of times a Christian should pray a day. The Bible doesn’t specify how many times we should pray, but it does emphasize the importance of regular prayer.

Secondly, in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Paul urges believers to “pray without ceasing.” This doesn’t mean we should be in constant prayer, but rather that we should have a continual attitude of prayer throughout the day.

Thirdly, in Matthew 6:5-6, Jesus teaches that prayer should be a private and personal experience between the individual and God. It should not be performed for the sake of appearances or to impress others. Instead, it should be a genuine expression of one’s faith.

Lastly, the frequency of prayer should be motivated by a desire to grow closer to God and deepen our relationship with Him. As we prioritize prayer in our daily lives, we invite God into our hearts and allow Him to work in and through us.

Understanding what the Bible says about prayer frequency is important, but it’s also essential to develop a personal prayer life that feels authentic and meaningful. So, how can regular prayer benefit your spiritual life? Let’s explore .

The Lord’s Prayer as a Model for Daily Prayer

Many Christians look to the Lord’s Prayer as a guide for how to pray daily. The prayer begins with acknowledging God as our Father in heaven and continues with requests for daily provisions and forgiveness of sins. This prayer reminds us to seek God’s will and to ask for His help in resisting temptation. The Lord’s Prayer is a powerful tool for daily prayer, as it helps us to focus our minds and hearts on God.

First, we can use the Lord’s Prayer as a template for structuring our own prayers. By following the order of the prayer, we can ensure that our prayers include all the necessary elements. This can help us to pray more effectively and with more purpose.

Second, we can use the Lord’s Prayer as a model for the content of our prayers. For example, we can use the prayer’s request for daily bread to ask God for the things we need in our daily lives. We can use the prayer’s plea for forgiveness to confess our own sins and ask for God’s mercy.

Third, the Lord’s Prayer can be a source of comfort and strength during difficult times. When we don’t know what to pray or feel overwhelmed, we can turn to this prayer as a way of expressing our faith and trust in God. This can help us to feel more connected to God and to find peace in the midst of our struggles.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.

Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

In conclusion, the Lord’s Prayer is a powerful tool for daily prayer. It can help us to structure and focus our prayers, provide a model for the content of our prayers, and offer comfort and strength during difficult times. By using the Lord’s Prayer as a guide, we can deepen our relationship with God and grow in our faith.

The Apostle Paul’s Call to Pray Without Ceasing

The Apostle Paul encourages believers to pray without ceasing in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, saying that this is the will of God for them in Christ Jesus. This call to constant prayer means that believers should maintain a continual attitude of prayer throughout their day, not just during designated prayer times.

Paul’s exhortation reminds us that prayer is not just an occasional practice but a way of life for the Christian. We are to be in constant communication with God, seeking His guidance, strength, and wisdom in all aspects of our lives.

Praying without ceasing does not mean that we are to be in a constant state of kneeling and praying, but rather that our hearts should always be turned towards God. We can pray while we work, walk, or drive, offering up our requests and thanksgiving to God throughout our day.

The Example of Daniel’s Three Times a Day Prayer

The book of Daniel records the story of the prophet Daniel, who was taken into captivity in Babylon. In chapter six, we see that Daniel prayed three times a day, despite the threat of persecution from the king’s decree. This example of prayer demonstrates the importance of consistency and dedication in our prayer life.

Daniel’s prayer was not only a personal discipline, but also a public witness to his faith in God. In the midst of a pagan culture, Daniel’s commitment to prayer was a testimony to the power of God and a call to others to turn their hearts to Him.

As we follow Daniel’s example, we too can experience the blessings of a regular prayer routine. By setting aside specific times for prayer, we can develop a deeper relationship with God and grow in our faith.

Moreover, Daniel’s prayer was characterized by humility and submission to God’s will. His focus was not on his own needs, but on God’s glory and purposes. In our own prayers, we should strive to adopt this same attitude of surrender and trust in God’s plan.

How Can Regular Prayer Benefit Your Spiritual Life?

Deepening Your Relationship with God through Prayer

Transforming Your Heart: Prayer can transform your heart and help you to become more like Christ. As you spend time in prayer, you can ask God to help you overcome sin and develop virtues such as patience, kindness, and forgiveness.

Strengthening Your Faith and Trust in God

Prayer helps you surrender control. When you pray, you acknowledge that there are some things beyond your control and you surrender them to God. This act of surrender strengthens your faith and trust in God.

Prayer brings you closer to God. The more you pray, the closer you become to God. This closeness builds a deeper understanding of God’s character and helps you develop a more intimate relationship with Him.

Prayer helps you overcome fear and anxiety. When you pray, you invite God to take control of your worries and fears. This act of faith helps you overcome fear and anxiety and replaces it with peace and trust in God.

Prayer strengthens your faith in times of trials. Prayer can serve as a source of strength and hope during difficult times. When you pray, you draw on the strength of God and trust in His promises, even when circumstances are challenging.

The Importance of Creating a Prayer Routine

Consistency is key when it comes to building a strong prayer life. Creating a routine helps ensure that we don’t let prayer fall by the wayside when life gets busy or stressful.

Structure is another important element of a prayer routine. By setting aside specific times and places for prayer, we create a dedicated space for our conversations with God. This can help us focus and feel more connected during our prayer time.

Accountability is also a benefit of establishing a prayer routine. When we commit to praying regularly, we can ask friends or family members to check in with us and help keep us accountable to our goals. This can provide additional motivation to stick to our routine and deepen our prayer life.

Establishing a Habit of Consistent Prayer

Start small: Consistency is key when it comes to developing a habit of prayer. Start by setting aside a specific time each day, even if it’s just a few minutes, to pray.

Remove distractions: Find a quiet, peaceful place to pray where you can focus on your conversation with God. Turn off your phone and other distractions that may interrupt your time with Him.

Use a prayer journal: Writing down your prayers can help you stay focused and remember specific requests. You can also look back and see how God has answered your prayers over time.

Hold yourself accountable: Share your goal of establishing a consistent prayer habit with a trusted friend or mentor who can encourage and support you along the way.

Setting Aside Dedicated Time for Prayer and Reflection

¶ Prioritize: Make prayer a priority in your daily routine. Set aside a specific time and place where you can focus without distractions. Consider waking up earlier or cutting back on non-essential activities to make room for prayer.

¶ Prepare: Create a peaceful environment conducive to prayer. Choose a location that is comfortable, quiet, and free from interruptions. Use candles, soft lighting, or calming music to help create a relaxing atmosphere.

¶ Reflect: Use this time for personal reflection and spiritual growth. Consider keeping a prayer journal to track your progress and record your thoughts and feelings. Use this time to meditate on Scripture, seek guidance from God, and listen for His voice.

Practical Tips for Staying Consistent in Your Daily Prayer

Create a prayer space: Designate a specific area in your home or workplace where you can pray without distractions. Make sure it’s comfortable and free from any potential interruptions.

Use a prayer journal: Writing down your prayers can help you stay focused and organized. It can also serve as a record of your spiritual journey and allow you to see how your prayers have been answered over time.

Set reminders: Use technology to your advantage by setting reminders on your phone or computer to pray at specific times throughout the day. This can help you establish a routine and stay consistent with your prayer practice.

Keeping a Prayer Journal to Track Your Progress

Reflect on your prayers: After each prayer session, take some time to reflect on what you prayed about and how you felt during your prayer. Write down your thoughts and feelings in your journal, including any insights or revelations you may have received.

Set goals: Determine what you want to accomplish through your prayers and set realistic goals for yourself. Write them down in your journal and track your progress towards them. This will help you stay focused and motivated to continue with your prayer routine.

Keep a record of answered prayers: As you pray for various things, make a note of when your prayers are answered. This can serve as a reminder of God’s faithfulness and help strengthen your faith. You can also use this as a reference for future prayer requests.

Accountability through Prayer Partners or Small Groups

Joining a prayer group or finding a prayer partner is a great way to stay accountable in your daily prayer routine. When you have someone to pray with, you can encourage each other and share in each other’s victories and struggles.

Consistency is key when it comes to prayer, and having a partner or group can help you stay on track. You can set goals together and check in with each other regularly to ensure you are both making progress.

Praying with others can also provide a sense of community and support. You can share your burdens and joys with others who can offer comfort and guidance.

Finally, being a part of a prayer group or partnership can help you grow in your relationship with God. You can learn from others’ experiences and gain new insights into scripture and prayer. Together, you can explore different forms of prayer and deepen your faith.

Using Prayer Apps or Devotionals to Stay Motivated

If you’re struggling to stay motivated in your prayer life, consider using prayer apps or devotionals. These tools can provide structure and guidance, helping you to stay on track and focused on your spiritual goals. Many prayer apps offer daily prompts, reminders, and scripture readings to help you stay consistent in your prayer practice.

Devotionals can also be a great way to stay motivated, as they often provide daily reflections or meditations on scripture. Look for a devotional that resonates with your personal beliefs and interests, and try to make it a part of your daily routine.

Remember, the key to using prayer apps or devotionals is to view them as tools to help support your spiritual growth, not as a substitute for personal prayer and reflection. Use them as a supplement to your own prayer practice, and be open to adapting or adjusting your routine as needed.

How Different Christian Denominations Approach Prayer Frequency

Prayer is an important part of the Christian faith, and each denomination has its own approach to it. Catholics typically pray multiple times a day, including the rosary, mass, and other devotions. Protestants, on the other hand, often view prayer as more of a personal and private experience and may not have set times for prayer.

Orthodox Christians have a strong tradition of prayer, with many prayers and liturgies offered throughout the day. They also practice the Jesus Prayer, a short, repetitive prayer that is believed to bring one closer to God. The Anglican Church has a structured prayer book that includes morning and evening prayers, as well as prayers for different occasions and needs.

Evangelical Christians place a strong emphasis on personal prayer and often encourage daily prayer and Bible reading. They may also participate in prayer groups or attend prayer services. Pentecostals place a great emphasis on prayer and often have extended times of corporate prayer, including tongues and prophecy.

In conclusion, while prayer is a common practice in all Christian denominations, the frequency and approach to it may vary depending on the tradition and beliefs of the denomination.

The Catholic Tradition of Daily Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours

Catholics have a rich tradition of daily prayer, with daily Mass being a cornerstone of their faith. Catholics are encouraged to attend Mass every day, although it is only required on Sundays and certain holy days of obligation. In addition to Mass, Catholics also have the Liturgy of the Hours, a set of prayers and psalms that are recited several times throughout the day by priests, religious, and laypeople alike.

The Liturgy of the Hours is a beautiful way to sanctify each part of the day with prayer and reflection, and it can be adapted to fit any schedule. It consists of seven prayer times: Morning Prayer, Mid-Morning Prayer, Midday Prayer, Afternoon Prayer, Evening Prayer, Night Prayer, and Office of Readings.

By participating in these daily prayers, Catholics are able to grow in their faith and strengthen their relationship with God, while also feeling more connected to their community and the universal Church.

The Evangelical Emphasis on Personal, Intimate Prayer Time

Evangelicals place a strong emphasis on personal, intimate prayer time as a key aspect of their spiritual lives. Many evangelicals believe that prayer is a direct line of communication with God, and that it is important to cultivate a close relationship with Him through prayer.

Evangelicals often use prayer to seek guidance, wisdom, and understanding, and to express their gratitude and praise to God. They may also use prayer to intercede on behalf of others, seeking healing, comfort, and blessing for their loved ones and communities.

While evangelicals may participate in group prayer and corporate worship, they place a high value on personal, individual prayer time. This time may take many forms, including praying in tongues, praying with scripture, or simply conversing with God in their own words.

The Orthodox Tradition of Set Prayers and Regular Fasting

The Orthodox Christian tradition emphasizes set prayers as a means of fostering a deeper relationship with God. These prayers, known as the Divine Office, are recited at specific times of the day and follow a prescribed format. The practice of regular fasting is also important in the Orthodox tradition, with fasting periods occurring throughout the year. These periods of fasting are seen as a way to strengthen spiritual discipline and focus on God.

Another key aspect of Orthodox prayer is the use of icons, which are seen as a way to connect with the divine. Icons are not worshiped, but rather venerated as windows into the spiritual world. Orthodox Christians also place great importance on the sacraments, particularly the Eucharist, which is seen as the true body and blood of Christ.

In addition to set prayers, Orthodox Christians also engage in personal, spontaneous prayer as a means of deepening their relationship with God. The Jesus Prayer, which involves repeating the phrase “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner” is a particularly popular form of personal prayer in the Orthodox tradition.

¶ A Christian can balance prayer with other aspects of life by prioritizing time for prayer, setting specific times of day for prayer, and incorporating prayer into daily activities. It is also important to recognize that prayer is not the only way to connect with God and can be complemented by other spiritual practices such as reading the Bible and serving others.

The Monad Call instead of praying That Defies the Archons

 ....Unlock the mystical truths of "The Secret Jesus Knew" in our captivating exploration of the Monad Call. Discover the powerful message that transcends conventional prayer, providing a direct connection to the divine that transcends the grasp of the Archons. Are you ready for a spiritual awakening that unveils the intricacies of esoteric wisdom hidden in plain sight? Join us as we peel back the layers of ancient teachings and reveal life-changing practices that empower your spiritual journey that expands your consciousness and helps you awaken to your true potential!

 What if I told you that the prayers you've been taught your entire life were never meant to reach the divine at all? 

What if the very act of praying the way you were instructed was designed to keep you powerless, trapped in a cycle of begging, pleading, and dependency. 

The ancient history texts, hidden for nearly 2,000 years, reveal something that the established powers of the day desperately wanted, erased from history. 

Jesus Christ did not teach prayer as you know it. He taught something far more dangerous, far more powerful, something called the monad call. And if this resonates with your soul, what I'm about to reveal will fundamentally change how you connect with the divine forever. 

 For centuries, we've been conditioned to bow our heads, close our eyes, and direct our prayers outward to a distant god sitting on a throne somewhere beyond the clouds. We've been taught to ask, to beg, to surrender our power to external forces. 

 These forbidden gospels speak of the archons, parasitic entities that feed on human worship, fear, and subservience*. *Willingness to obey others unquestioningly.

They've constructed an elaborate system to harvest your spiritual energy, and traditional prayer is one of their most effective tools.  The moned call is not a prayer. It's a recognition. It's a declaration.  It is the ancient technique Jesus Christ actually taught his closest disciples. A method of communing with the source that  bypasses the archonic interference entirely. 

 When you perform the monad call, you're not asking for anything. You're not pleading with anyone. You're remembering who you truly are. A fragment of the divine itself temporarily experiencing separation. 

 This is why the archons hate it. This is why it was systematically removed from mainstream religious teachings. 

 Because when you discover this truth, you become ungovernable. You become spiritually sovereign. 

In this message we're going to journey into the hidden wisdom that connects the monad call to the very fabric of reality itself.

 We'll explore what the ancient texts actually say, why this knowledge was suppressed, and most importantly, how you can use this technique starting today to reclaim your divine birthright. 

I'm ready and waiting for your command to understand the Monad call. We must first descend into the forbidden libraries of early Christianity. those texts that were deemed too dangerous,  too empowering, too truthful to be allowed into the hands of ordinary people. 

In December of 1945, an Egyptian farmer named Muhammad Ali al-San was digging near the town of Nag Hamadi when his shovel struck something hard. 

 What he unearthed that day would shake the foundations of religious history. A sealed jar containing 13 leatherbound cottises, 52 sacred texts that had been deliberately hidden in the 4th century. 

 Among these texts were the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Apocryphon of John. Documents that paint a radically different picture of Jesus's teachings than what survived in the canonical Bible. 

 These were not the writings of heretics or madmen. They were the sacred scriptures of the early Gnostic Christians, communities who claimed to possess the secret teachings Jesus Christ gave only to his inner circle. And at the heart of these teachings was a cosmology that explained why the world feels so profoundly wrong, so deeply disconnected from true divinity. 

 The Gnostics spoke of the Monad, the ultimate source, the supreme being, the undifferentiated unity from which all consciousness emerges. The Monad is not a god who judges, demands worship or requires sacrifice. The Monad simply is pure existence, pure awareness beyond duality, beyond form. From the monad emanated divine beings called aons, perfect expressions of various aspects of the divine. This was the plleoma, the fullness of light and truth where all souls originally dwelled in perfect harmony. But then came the catastrophe. According to the secret book of John, one of the aons, Sophia, whose name means wisdom, made a tragic error. In her desire to create, she produced an offspring without her divine counterpart. What emerged was a deformed ignorant entity. The texts call Yaldabaoth, the demiurge, the false god. 

 Yaldabaoth was born blind to the true divine realm above him. In his ignorance and arrogance, he declared, "I am God and there is no other god beside me." 

This false god along with his servants called archons then created the material universe not as a gift but as a prison. 

They fashioned human bodies to trap fragments of divine light, sparks of the monad itself within dense matter. The archons feed on human suffering,   worship, fear, and spiritual energy. 

They've constructed religions that direct humanity's devotion toward them. Disguised as the true divine, traditional prayer with its posture of subservience and external supplication was designed by the archonic system to keep you in a state of spiritual infancy, forever dependent, forever powerless. 

Jesus Christ, according to these texts, was not the son of Yaldabaoth. 

He was an emissary from the Pleroma itself sent to awaken humanity to their true nature. His mission was to teach the path back to the monad not through worship of external gods but through recognition of the divine spark within. 

 The records said Jesus Christ saying "the kingdom of heaven is inside of you and it is outside of you." When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known and you will realize that you are the sons of the living Father. This is the knowledge that was systematically destroyed. 

When the Roman Empire adopted Christianity in the 4th century under Constantine, a standardized version of the faith was established. Texts that emphasized direct personal gnosis*,  direct knowing of the divine were labeled heretical. The Gnostic communities were persecuted, their books burned, their wisdom driven underground. (*Gnosis is the common Greek noun for knowledge (γνῶσις, gnōsis, )

Why? Because a population that knows its own divinity cannot be controlled. A people who communicate directly with the Source have no need for intermediary priests, elaborate hierarchies, or institutional authority. The Monad call represents the survival of this forbidden practice, a technique for bypassing the archonic interference and connecting directly with your divine origin. It's not found in mainstream scripture because it was deliberately excised, but fragments remain hidden in plain sight for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. 

Now we arrive at the heart of the mystery. What exactly is the monad call and how does it differ so fundamentally from everything you've been taught about spiritual practice? To understand this, we must first dismantle the architecture of conventional prayer and see it for what it truly is. A transaction based on separation. 

When you pray in the traditional sense, you assume a position. You place yourself below and you place God above. 

You are the supplicant, the beggar, the one in need. God is the provider, the judge, the distant authority who may or may not grant your request. This entire framework is built on duality. The belief that you and the divine are fundamentally separate entities. You speak into the void hoping someone is listening. You ask for things. You confess sins. You express gratitude for blessings received.  All of this reinforcesa single devastating lie that you are incomplete, powerless, and dependent on external divine intervention. 

The archons have perfected this system over millennia. Every time you pray with fear, with neediness, with that feeling of spiritual smallness, you generate a specific frequency of energy. 

The ancient texts describe the archons as beings who cannot create their own life force. They must harvest it from those who possess the divine spark. Your worship, your fear, your sense of unworthiness, these are delicacies to them. 

 Traditional prayer keeps you locked in this energetic harvest cycle, constantly giving your power away to entities who masquerade as the divine. The monad call operates on an entirely  different principle. It is not based on separation but on recognition. 

It is not a request but a remembrance. 

When you perform the monad call, you are not speaking to something outside yourself. You are awakening to what you already are. You are not a creation of the false god Yaldabath. 

Yes, your physical body may be his construction, but the consciousness animating that body. The awareness reading these words right now is a fragment of the moned itself. Imagine the ocean and a single wave. The wave may appear separate. It has its own form, its own movement, its own temporary identity. But the wave is not separate from the ocean. It is the ocean expressing itself in a particular way. Every molecule of water in that wave is ocean water. The wave doesn't need to prey to the ocean for permission to exist. It does not need to beg the ocean for waves. It already is the ocean experiencing itself as a wave. This is the relationship between you and the monad. The monad call is the wave remembering it is the ocean. It's the divine spark within you recognizing its own source. 

In the Gospel of Philip, there's a passage that illuminates this perfectly. Light and darkness, life and death, right and left, are brothers of one another. They are inseparable. Because of this, neither are the good good nor the evil evil, nor is life life, nor death. 

This cryptic teaching points to a truth beyond duality, a state of awareness where all oppositions dissolve because you've accessed the unified field of the Monad itself. When Jesus taught this practice to his inner circle, he wasn't giving them words to recite or rituals to perform, he was transmitting a state of consciousness. 

 The apocryphon of John describes how the savior appeared to John and said, "I am the one who is with you always. I am the father. I am the mother. I am the son." 

 This is not the statement of an external deity. It's the voice of the monad speaking through the awakened consciousness of the Christ, revealing   that all apparent divisions are illusions. 

The monad call then is not a technique in the conventional sense. It's more like a tuning fork that brings your consciousness into resonance with your true frequency. Think of it like a radio. Your normal waking consciousness is tuned to the station of terial world. the frequency that the archons broadcast on. This station is filled with messages of limitation, separation, fear, and lack. 

Prayer, as traditionally taught, is like calling into a radio talk show on that same station, still operating within their broadcast range. 

The monad call is the act of changing the frequency entirely. You're not calling into their station. You're tuning into the original broadcast from the source itself. And here's what the archons desperately   do not want you to know. They cannot operate on that frequency. 

The Monad exists at a vibrational level that   predates their existence that transcends their realm of influence. When you successfully perform the Monad call, you become temporarily invisible to the archonic system. You slip through the bars of the prison because you've remembered you were never truly imprisoned. You only believed you were. 

The Gospel contains perhaps the clearest instruction on this practice, though it's encoded in symbolic language. Jesus says, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer, and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male, nor the female be female, then you will enter the kingdom." This is the essence of the Monad call. The dissolution of all dualities, all separations, all distinctions between self and source. 

But there's a deeper layer to this mystery. One that reveals why the Monad Call is not merely a spiritual practice, but an act of cosmic rebellion. 

The Archons don't just feed on your energy. They've constructed an elaborate maze of spiritual deception to ensure you never find the exit. Understanding this maze is crucial to grasping why the monad call threatens their entire system of control. 

The Gnostic texts describe something called the himarmana, the cosmic fate or destiny imposed by the archons. They've woven a web of causality, of karmic debt, of sins requiring redemption, of spiritual hierarchies you must climb. 

 Every religion that teaches you must earn your way to heaven, that you must prove your worthiness, that you need an  intermediary to reach God. These are aronic constructs. 

They keep you running on a hamster wheel of spiritual striving. Always reaching but never arriving. Always seeking but never finding. Traditional prayer fits perfectly into this system. It reinforces the narrative that you are fallen, broken, sinful, and separate. 

 It teaches you to externalize your power by constantly seeking approval, forgiveness, or intervention from above. 

Even prayers of gratitude. while seemingly positive. can keep you locked in the paradigm of receiver and giver, servant and master. The archons have even infiltrated the highest teachings of various traditions, subtly corrupting practices that were originally liberating. 

The Monad call bypasses all of this because it operates from a completely different assumption about reality. It begins with what the Gnostics called gnosis. Gnosis is the common Greek noun for knowledge (γνῶσις, gnōsis,) awareness; cognitive perception. Direct experiential knowledge of the divine within. Act of consciousness or understanding; noesis.

Not belief, not faith, not hope, but knowing. When you truly know something, you don't pray about it. You don't ask for confirmation. You simply recognize what is. Consider how this plays out in the hidden teachings. In the Pistus Sophia, one of the most detailed Gnostic texts, there's an account of Jesus Christ teaching his disciples a series of sacred utterances, not prayers in the conventional sense, but invocations that declare divine identity. These were not requests made to the heavens. They were statements of cosmic fact. 

I am the light that illuminates the all. 

I am the voice that calls forth from the silence.

 These declarations don't ask permission. 

They claim inheritance. 

This is why the early church fathers were so terrified of Gnostic teachings. Irenaeus writing in the second century railed against the Gnostics for their audacity in claiming direct knowledge of God without ecclesiastical authority. Tertulan condemned them for teaching that salvation comes through knowledge rather than faith. and obedience. 

What these church leaders understood and feared was that a practice like the monad call makes the entire institutional structure obsolete. 

If every individual can access the divine directly without priest, without ritual, without the mediation of the church, then what power does the institution hold? 

But here's where it gets even more profound. The Monad call isn't just about personal spiritual liberation. It has cosmological implications. According to the Gnostic worldview, every time a divine spark awakens and returns to the Pleroma, the power of the archons diminishes. They're like parasites whoʻve grown fat on the stolen light of humanity. 

As more souls remember their true nature and exit the system, the archonic realm begins to collapse. The entire material prison exists only because enough consciousness remains trapped within it,   believing the illusion. This is why Jesus's mission, according to these texts, was so revolutionary. 

Jesus Christ was not offering a new religion or a better set of rules. He was initiating a mass awakening, teaching people to perform what we're calling the monad call; to remember, to recognize, to return. The crucifixion itself takes on new meaning in this context. The gospel of Judas, not Iscariot, another nagdi text, suggests that Jesus's death was not a sacrifice to appease an angry god, but a demonstration that consciousness transcends the physical body. Even death, the ultimate tool of archonic control, has no power over one who knows their true nature. 

Now, you might be wondering, if the monad call is so powerful, why isn't everyone doing it? 

Why has it remained hidden? 

The answer lies in the sophistication of the control system. 

The archons don't just operate through obvious evil or oppression They're masters of counterfeit spirituality. 

They've created spiritual traditions that feel profound, that offer genuine experiences, but that ultimately keep you circling within their domain. 

They've learned to satisfy your hunger for meaning just enough that you don't search for the real nourishment. 

Even more cunningly, they've installed what could be called spiritual gatekeepers. Thoughts and beliefs that trigger when you approach genuine liberation. 

Have you ever noticed that when you contemplate your own divinity, a voice immediately appears saying, "That's blasphemy or that's arrogant or who do you think you are? "

That's not your voice. That's an archonic implant, a thought form designed to keep you small.

The monad call directly confronts these gatekeepers and dissolves them. 

There's also a crucial distinction to understand between the monad and the demiurge.

Many people when they pray are actually connecting with Yaldabaoth, the false god who demands worship, who punishes and rewards, who is jealous and wrathful. 

The old testament god with his commandments and his vengeance bears all the characteristics the gnostics attributed to the demiurge. He says, "I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me." The exact claim Yaldabaoth makes in the Gnostic texts, blind to the true divine realm above him. 

The Monad, by contrast, never demands anything. The Monad doesn't need your worship because the Monad is you. It's like your hand worshiping your brain. The relationship doesn't work that way because they're part of the same system. 

When you perform the monad call, you're not reaching up to a separate entity. You're reaching inward and upward simultaneously to the field of consciousness from which you've never truly been separated. 

This understanding transforms everything. It means that every moment you felt the presence of something greater, every mystical experience, every flash of cosmic insight. These weren't gifts from an external god. They were moments when the veil thinned and you glimpsed your own true nature. The kingdom of heaven is not somewhere you go. It's something you remember you've always been. Now, we arrive at the most crucial question. How do you actually perform the monad call? 

How do you translate this ancient wisdom into a living practice that transforms your daily experience of reality? 

This is where the theoretical becomes tangible, where hidden knowledge becomes embodied power. 

What I am going to share with you is a synthesis of the Gnostic texts combined with techniques that have been preserved in esoteric lineages for 2,000 years. 

 The first step is preparation, not of your environment, but of your consciousness. The Monad call cannot be performed from the ordinary mind, the mind that's been conditioned by the archonic system. You must first create the sacred space within yourself. 

Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Sit comfortably, spine straight, hands resting gently. Close your eyes. But here's what's different from traditional prayer. You're not preparing to speak to someone else. 

You're preparing to remember who you are. 

Begin with the breath, but not in the way you might expect. You understand breath as the spirit. Each breath is the monad breathing itself through you. 

Breathe deeply and consciously. And with each inhalation, silently acknowledge this is the breath of the monad. With each exhalation, this is the monad releasing itself. 

Do this for several minutes until you feel a shift, a subtle opening, a sense of expansion. You're tuning the radio, adjusting the frequency away from the material station. 

Now comes the crucial element that distinguishes the monad call from prayer, the shift in position. 

In prayer, you speak from the small self, the ego, the personality that believes it's separate. 

In the monad call, you speak from the divine spark within, the fragment of the monad that has always been there, waiting to be acknowledged. 

This is not pretending or positive thinking. This is accessing a deeper stratum of your being that exists beneath the layers of conditioning. 

Place your awareness in the center of your chest in the heart space. The divine spark resides here, imprisoned in matter but never extinguished. 

 Feel into this space. Imagine or simply know that there's a point of light there. Small but infinitely bright. This is not metaphor. This is the pearl of great price, the mustard seed that contains the kingdom, the divine fragment that is your true essence. 

From this place of inner light, you're now going to make a declaration, not a request, not a prayer. A statement of recognition. 

The exact words matter less than the consciousness from which they emerge. 

But here is a traditional formulation drawn from the ancient texts. 

I am the light that illuminates all things. 

I am the all. The all came forth from me and the all extends to me. I and the monad are one. 

There is no separation. There has never been separation. 

Speak these words aloud or silently, but speak them as truth, not as aspiration. 

This is key. You're not saying I want to be the light or I hope to unite with the monad. 

You're declaring what is, what has always been, what can never not be. 

Feel the resonance of these words in your body. Let them vibrate through every cell. The archons cannot touch you in this state because you've shifted to a frequency they cannot perceive. 

As you continue, you may encounter resistance. That voice might appear, "This is ridiculous. This is blasphemy."  "Who are you to claim divinity? "

 When this happens, recognize it for what it is, an archonic defense mechanism. 

 Don't fight it. Simply observe it and return to your declaration. Each time you do this, you weaken the gatekeeper program and strengthen your connection to the monad. 

Now, here's an advanced technique that amplifies the monadd call exponentially. The Gnostics spoke of the bridal chamber, the mystical union of the fragmented self with its divine counterpart. In practical terms, this means consciously unifying all the dualities within yourself. As you rest in the awareness of your divine nature,  this begin to collapse the oppositions. 

 I am both light and dark, both creator and created, both nothing and everything, both silence and sound. 

 Hold these paradoxes in your consciousness simultaneously without trying to resolve them. 

 This is the dissolution of duality that Jesus spoke of in the Gospel of Thomas. 

 You'lI know the monad call is working when you experience what can only be described as a click. A sudden shift where something locks into place. Time may seem to stop. The boundary between   inner and outer may blur. You might feel a profound sense of coming home, of remembering something you've always known but had forgotten. 

Some people experience waves of energy moving through their body. Others feel an overwhelming sense of peace or unconditional love. 

Whatever arises, don't grasp at it. Simply observe and allow. Practice this daily, even if only for 10 minutes. Consistency matters more than duration. Each time you perform the monad call, you're literally rewiring your consciousness, creating new neural pathways that bypass the archonic  programming. You're training yourself to access this state more quickly and easily. Eventually, you'll be able to perform the monad call in the midst of 29 daily life while walking, working, or interacting with others. 

 Here's a powerful way to integrate this into your everyday experience. Whenever you catch yourself about to pray in the traditional way, asking for something,  seeking intervention, expressing worry, pause.  Redirect that impulse into a monad call instead. 

 Rather than "please God, help me with this problem." Shift to "I am the divine consciousness that transcends this problem. I am the monad experiencing itself through this situation. There is no separation between me and the solution because I am the all." 

This single shift will transform your entire relationship with challenges and difficulties. 

One common obstacle people encounter is the fear that they're being arrogant or delusional. 

 Let me address this directly. 

 The ego claiming divinity is indeed delusion. But the divine spark recognizing itself is simply truth. 

 The difference is in the quality of consciousness. The ego seeks divinity to feel special, superior or powerful over others. The divine spark recognizes divinity in itself and in all beings simultaneously. 

If your monad call makes you feel better than anyone else, you're still operating from ego. True noesis dissolves all such distinctions. 

Another practical tip, keep a journal of your experiences with the monad call, not to analyze or intellectualize, but to track your evolution. You'll notice patterns. Certain times of day when the connection is stronger. Certain life situations that trigger archonic interference. Moments when the veil completely dissolves. 

This spiritual journal becomes a map of your consciousness, helping you navigate back to the monad more efficiently. 

Finally, understand that the monad call is not a one-time event, but an ongoing practice of remembrance. 

The archonic forces are constantly working to pull you back into the illusion of separation. Every advertisement, every news broadcast, every social interaction conditioned by fear or lack, these are invitations to forget your true nature. The Monad call is your anchor, your lifeline, your way of continuously choosing reality over illusion. 

We've journeyed together through 2,000 years of hidden history, through forbidden texts and suppressed wisdom to arrive at a truth so simple and yet so revolutionary that entire empires have been built to keep it from you. 

You are not separate from the divine. You have never been separate. The separation is the lie. The Monad call is simply the remembrance of what has always been true. 

Think about what this means for your life right now in this very moment. 

Every prayer you've ever spoken into the void, every plea for help that seemed to go unanswered, every moment you felt abandoned by God, all of it was based on a false premise. You were never speaking to something outside yourself. 

The divine you sought has been breathing through your lungs, seeing through your eyes, living as you this entire time. 

The archons constructed an elaborate maze to keep you searching everywhere except the one place where the truth resides within your own consciousness. 

The Monad call is your exodus from this prison. It is not about religion or belief systems. It is not about being Christian or gnostic or anything else. 

It is about direct experience, about noesis, about knowing rather than believing. Knowing here is intimate relationship with the divine, thinking with the divine, declaring with the divine.

When you perform the Monad call and feel that shift in consciousness, when the boundaries dissolve and you touch that infinite field of awareness that is your true nature, no one can ever take that from you. No priest, no institution, no authority can mediate your relationship with the source because you've discovered there is no relationship. There is only identity. You and the Monad are one. 

This is why they buried the Nag Hamadi texts in the desert. 

This is why the Gnostic communities were systematically destroyed. 

This is why 2,000 years of religious conditioning has trained you to look outside yourself for salvation.

Because the moment you discover this truth, the moment you master the monad call, you become spiritually sovereign. 

You step out of the harvest field. You stop feeding the archons with your fear, your worship, your sense of unworthiness. And their entire system begins to crumble. 

 But here's what I want you to understand as we close. 

This knowledge means nothing if it remains theoretical. The archons do not fear people who know about the Monad call. They fear people who practice it. 

Every single day that you choose remembrance over forgetfulness, you choose recognition over prayer, you choose divine identity over separation, you strike a blow against the system of control that has enslaved human consciousness for millennia. 

You become a living demonstration that the real way is possible. 

So, I am going to ask you to do something right now. Do not wait. Do not think about it. Do not tell yourself you'll try it later when you have more time. 

Close your eyes for just 60 seconds after this message ends. Place your hand on your heart. Feel that point of light within you and speak these words with complete conviction. 

I am the Monad. They all came forth from me and returns to me. There is no separation. 

Feel what happens. Notice what shifts. 

This is your birthright. This is your power. This is what Jesus Christ actually taught before they rewrote the story. 

The ancient believers knew something that we're only now beginning to remember. 

The apocalypse, which literally means unveiling, is not about the end of the world. It is about the end of the illusion. It is about the moment when enough people wake up, when enough divine sparks remember their true nature that the entire archonic system collapses from lack of energy. Every time someone performs the monad call, we move closer to that threshold. 

You are not here by accident. The fact that you found this message and you read until this very  moment that these words are resonating in your consciousness right now. This is the monad calling to itself. The deep calling to the deep. The divine spark within you recognizing the divine spark speaking through me. 

We are fragments of the same infinite consciousness temporarily experiencing separation so that the one can know itself through the many. The path forward is clear. Practice the monad call daily. Make it your anchor in a world designed to keep you asleep. When fear arises, when doubt whispers. When the archonic voices tell you that you're small and powerless and unworthy, return to the remembrance. Return to the recognition.   Return to the truth that transcends all the lies. 

"I am the monad. And so are you. And so is everyone and everything whether they remember it or not. 

This is the secret that changes everything. This is the practice that Jesus Christ taught in the hidden hours away from the crowds to those ready to hear it. This is your inheritance, your power, your way home. 

The archons hate it because they cannot survive it. And that's exactly why you must practice it. Go now and remember who you are. The Monad is calling you home, not to some distant heaven, but to the kingdom that has always existed within you, waiting patiently for this moment of recognition. And when you arrive, you'll realize with a laugh or a tear or a profound silence that you never actually left. You only dreamed you did. The dream is ending. The awakening has begun. 

Welcome home.
