    Beauty of Submission and Glory - David Eells - UBBS 10.14.2026

    Beauty of Submission and Glory (1) (audio) David Eells, 10/14/26 We are drawing near to the choosing of the bride. The Bride Is Submitted to the Word Debra Klein – Nov/Dec 2008 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was in a huge temple, which I knew was the heavenly temple. I was dressed in a wedding dress, and there were six other brides, besides myself, in this temple who also had their wedding dresses on. (This is a picture of the brides taken from the seven church types in Revelation 2 and 3.) Somehow, we all knew that we were only to wear the wedding dresses and that absolutely no veils were allowed to be worn at this rehearsal. (Since this is a rehearsal, the submission is not complete. The veil is a sign of submission to Jesus, the Word, which only the true bride will show herself to be - 1 Corinthians 11.) I was sitting in the very last pew, on the right side, in the back of the Temple, where Jesus and I sat together “as a married couple” (He, at the end of the pew closest to the wall, and me to His right) with an aisle in the middle and pews to the left. (The last shall be first and the first last. In this world, the least respected are those who seek not the admiration of the world but put themselves last and on the cross. They sit on the right, for they are the true sheep.) Suddenly, something took place in the Temple that caused us all to stand up. And as we stood up, I noticed there was a bride standing in the pew directly in front of me. As I looked at her, I was taken aback in shock. She was a “dark” woman who was wearing a beautiful, modern, white, slinky, sophisticated wedding dress. But to my surprise, the back of her dress had a see-through panel, through which I saw her naked body and an ugly tattoo on her right hip, which was an appalling sight! (This is a type of the Laodicean church whose nakedness was not revealed to her, for it was the back of her dress that was missing, but it was revealed to everyone else because of her walking in darkness. (Rev.3:17) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked: (18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. We must be dressed up with the works of Jesus to have on the wedding garment. (Rom.13:12) The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. (13) Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy. (14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].) I turned my head to the Lord and said, “Lord, why did you want me to see this?” He responded and said, “Keep looking”, and we all sat down. Then a woman walked through the double doors on the wall behind our pew and over toward the middle aisle at the end of the last pew where we sat, and somehow, I knew she was the coordinator of this dress rehearsal. As she stood in the aisle at the end of our pew, she motioned to a family sitting at that end to get my attention. As I turned to look toward her, she had draped across both arms the most beautiful veil I have ever seen, which I can't describe because it was not of this world, but of a “heavenly” nature. I was awestruck at the sight of this veil, so much so that I couldn't breathe or move, but could only feel my heart beating. (This Veil is truly not of this world and represents the manifestation of submission to the Lord and His Word, for He is our Husband who sows the seed of the Word in our hearts.) Suddenly, she pointed to me, indicating that the veil was mine! I was frozen and couldn't believe that the veil was for me! Then she motioned to me that she was going to come around the back of my pew, where the Lord Jesus and I were sitting, and place the veil on my head, which she did. (The Philadelphia Church is the type of the Bride to whom it was said: (Rev.3:10) Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, (This is like Esther being in the king's house didn't face Haman's wrath) that [hour] which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. (11) I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown. (12) He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name.) I was still motionless and awestruck, and sat there for some time, contemplating this veil that she placed on my head, holding the Lord's hand all the while. Then I found myself observing myself from behind, being drawn closer to observe the headpiece of the veil. I just had to see it! I was then lifted up in the Spirit high enough to hover over my head to get a good view of the headpiece. Upon careful inspection, to my surprise, the headpiece was a white crown of thorns, which was ever-so-delicately entwined all around with white baby's breath with a diamond at the end of each tiny flower. To my amazement, the thorns did not penetrate my scalp, my temples, or my eyelids, and the thorns were neatly folded under! Weeping, I turned and looked at the Lord and asked Him, “Why are the thorns folded under?” He so lovingly and so humbly hung His head a little and said, “I took the thorns so you wouldn't have to”. (Thorns represent the curse which Jesus bore. (Gal.3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (14) that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (1Pe.2:24) who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.) I can't begin to describe to you the understanding I received, at that moment, of His unfathomable, deep love He has for His Bride! All I could do was weep uncontrollably at the wonder of His love! Immediately, the organ began to play the song: “Here Comes the Bride!” and I stood up, as I knew it was my cue, and scurried through the pew and into the aisle, and up the aisle toward my Beloved. As I continued to walk, I noticed what I thought were five other brides scattered throughout the pews on the left side of the Temple and I looked back again at the Lord, Who was waiting for me at the altar, and I asked Him who these five were. He said, “Beloved, these are the five foolish virgins”. And I continued to walk toward Him, and then I woke up! (The foolish virgins were at the marriage feast of seven days (tribulation) but were not permitted to be in the midnight escort by the wise virgins to the Groom's home (which is in heaven) where the marriage supper is. [In Mat.25:10, the Greek word “Gamos” just means “marriage” and includes the whole marriage of the feast and the supper.] As we see in Esther, Song of Solomon, and Psalm 45, the corporate Bride body is chosen from among all the spiritual virgins of God’s people. The promises to the overcomers in their midst were given to them.) I didn't want to wake up and tried to go back to sleep to continue the dream, but nothing happened, and I lay there quietly and knew that the Lord was telling me that it was time for the wedding feast! (The Wedding Feast is the last seven days, representing the tribulation, before the Bride and Groom are escorted to the Groom's home (in heaven) by the wise virgins.) And so I asked Him, “Lord, the bride who was in front of me, was that the corrupt church?” And He said, “Yes”. (Most of the corrupt church are told that they are the bride. So many are selling their birthright instead of running after holiness.) Then I thought about the crown of thorns as the headpiece of the veil, and then I understood so clearly that He could only choose a bride who knew sorrow, suffering, and death to self in order for the two to become One. “How can the two walk together except they be agreed?” I just couldn't get over the fact that I was chosen to wear this veil and crown! But the Lord made me to understand that this vision was not about me, but the Bride as a whole, and that I was to share this vision with her to make her ready for His soon coming! He's at the door! It's time for the wedding feast! (The tribulation to prove who the Bride is will begin the seven day/years. At this time God is separating the tares.)   The Bride’s Transformation to Heavenly Submission Marie Kelton - 4/1/22 (David’s notes in red) (In this dream, Marie represents the Bride of Christ who is submitted to her heavenly Husband through obedience to His Word.) I dreamed I was in Chicago. (Chicago represents Babylon. Jesus said that we are in the world but not of it.) I was in the bathroom; I was dyeing my hair blueusing a white cream. (Spiritually speaking, the bathroom is where we rid ourselves, through repentance, of spiritual waste. A woman’s hair is a sign of submission to her husband. Blue represents heavenly. This text also explains the next few dreams, and I will explain these scriptures in more detail below. 1Co.11:3-15 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head. 5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled d

    End Time Saints - David Eells - UBBS 10.11.2026

    End Time Saints (1) (audio) David Eells, 10/11/26 New Leadership to Raise Up Saints Franklin Walden, Sr. "For the Lord would say unto His children ... Know now that which lies ahead. As I send My judgment upon the earth and into all the world, all they who seek My face and seek after My righteousness and seek to do My will and to be led by My Spirit shall not be overtaken. But they shall rise above and thou shalt be upon thee. "When the storms, the earthquakes, the pestilence, the diseases; when all these things come in the beginning of the days of sorrow; none shall come to thy house. I will preserve My children and My Spirit shall rest upon them. But they must seek My face. They must not be entertained by anything of this world nor give themselves to that which is unholy, for I am the Lord their God. Thou canst watch and thou shalt see. When thou seest this come to pass, thou shalt understand that what I have said in the Spirit bears out in the natural. For soon there shall come a shaking in all the kingdoms of the earth; for they are not of Me. Just before I am to set up My kingdom, there shall be a shaking of all the earthly kingdoms. Another great leader, as mankind looks at the greatness of man, shall be assassinated. (We know that a President Trump will be assassinated but JFK Jr. will take his place, who is a Christian and is the Vice-President of the Republic now. He is prepared to take over.) Thou shalt know that thou hast heard and it has not been spoken by man, but God has spoken through man and thou have no fear, for your trust is placed in Me. Thou must not be fretful, but thou must be content and at rest, for I am your rest. Other things shall happen in these last days; volcanoes shall continue to erupt. Earthquakes shall continue to come. Diseases that have not been known to man shall break out and many shall break out, and many shall be afflicted. For the plague of death is in the world today because My people have turned to follow the ways of man and not My ways. I would say to thee that thou must become sensitive to My Spirit. My angels that are encamped around about thee will guard over thee. They shall protect thee and thou will have no fear for thou knowest My voice. The plague that shall come, medical science will not have an answer for many shall die but unto you who are under My umbrella; it shall not come nigh thy door. Be not afraid but trust in Me, saith the Lord. I am going to place a heavy anointing upon all of My servants. (Jesus will come as the latter rain anointing on the Man-child reformers.) This anointing that comes upon My servants shall flow to those sheep that I have set them over. (Just as Jesus breathed on the Apostles.) They shall know that it is a work that I am doing. The gifts shall be manifested in the lives of the believers. No longer shall thou be as thou was for that which was inside thee that thou longed to have an outlet for; I am going to open up the doors. Thou art going to be filled with My joy. My joy is going to give thee strength in every battle that thou fightest in. Prepare thyself to read My Word. Study it. Meditate on it. Hide it in thine heart. Pray and seek My face. Seek after My righteousness, for I am going to fill all My servants, that I have set over My flock, with My wisdom and My knowledge and they will not walk in darkness but will understand every move of Satan. I will reveal all the strategies of Satan and give them the strategy of God so My people can pull down the strongholds and cause the kingdom of Satan to crumble. Behold! I am coming soon, saith the Lord. There is a spirit of error in the land today that is saying, 'Go there in the desert and you will find Jesus', or "Go there to the mountains for that is where He is.” Do not be misled. This same spirit of error is saying that Jesus does not exist today and that there is no second coming. it is even trying to convince my people that I do not exist. The spirit of error is pulling and teaching to go back under the law and denying the grace of God. Beware of the spirit of error because it is a great spirit of deception. Do not let this spirit of deception cause you to turn from My ways. For if thou turn away from that which I have given thee, thou shalt surely stand before me in want and when thou art weighted in the balances thou wilt come up wanting. There is a spirit of error in the land that comes as in My name, saith the Lord, that causes you to have respect of persons. It causes you not to love all of My creation. This spirit will bring a barrier between the races. Know that this spirit is not of me, saith the Lord. It is a wrong spirit, for I am the Creator of all things and all things that I have created, I have loved. Any spirit that comes into thy midst and causes you to hate any of My creation is not of Me. Any spirit that causes you not to be able to fellowship with all My people; that spirit is not of Me. For there are many spirits in the land today, but there is only one true Spirit - the Spirit of the Holy Ghost. Your eyes shall be opened to understanding and not be blinded in error when thou totally trust in Me, thus saith the Lord. I would speak and say now... though the spirit is a religious spirit, it does not testify of Me. It exalts the flesh and the man and not Me. It draws attention to those who have made themselves apostles who are not apostles, those who have made themselves prophets who are not prophets, who have gone and said I sent them when I did not. But I have not sent them to cause My people to be in confusion. Confusion is Not of me but is from Satan. Know that even this year thou shalt see great changes. One change shall be in My people who have cause to humble themselves and seek My face. I am the Lord thy God. My eyes are upon the righteous but the wicked shall come to a bitter end. All the false prophets and those who have denied My name shall perish. A spirit of confusion shall come upon them and they shall go from one error to another until they will be destroyed through their own ungodly ways. Now, My children, let he that hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith. For what the Spirit saith. For what lies ahead of us is victory. It is not a time to draw back, but it is a time to press forward. It is not a time to say 'What's the use?' but it is a time to say 'We must do it'. It is a time we must put our minds together, all having the mind of Christ, that we might make up the hedge and stand in the gap in this evil generation. Soon thou shalt see a manifestation of My Spirit such as thou hast not seen in this generation. It shall be a full impact of My power and everything that can be shaken will be shaken. But My children shall stand sure on that Rock and the revelation which I have given them. They shall not be shaken. Know that I am in the midst of thee - and all that happened... has been of Me, saith the Lord. Thou shalt see greater things in the Body of Christ. Walls shall crumble, differences shall be dissolved, peace shall reign from the bosom of my children. My love shall flow among them, and they shall have compassion for one another. They shall stand together and never be defeated because their faith standeth not in man but in Me, saith the Word of the Lord". (At this point, the Lord showed me the following vision which I feel compelled to share.) In the Spirit, the Lord showed me a great crack coming into the earth. It opened up and many people were destroyed through this tragedy. The crack was so big that automobiles were sinking into the earth. The voice of the Lord said, "Know that when thou hearest about this that it will bring your mind back to what I have said. But fear not, My children, for I am with you always".   Saints Enter Wilderness; U.N. Swallows World Jonathan (David’s notes in red) In this dream, I saw an image of the world as it appeared to suck into itself. A voice said, "It is using itself to support itself". The voice also said, "The U.N. will suck everything into itself, including the U.S., taking every source and resource to support itself in the order to come". (A revival of the old UN?) A feeling of dread and painful sacrifice came over me. I thought that I had already sacrificed a lot for the Lord, but not as much as they were looking for. I was taken to a scene in a desert (The Wilderness Tribulation), and the voice was telling me about a strategy that this desert served. I heard the voice say, "This is a training ground for a select group of people and those whose hearts and minds are ready will go through it and have life. However, one will lose his life in this desert area". (We must lose our life in this world to have His life. Mat.16:24-26 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?) I experienced the feeling of suffocation and excruciating pain in this desert area. Again, one will die going through it. I started heading toward it, and death started to overwhelm me. A force came, trying to pull me back, but at the same time letting me go, which added to the suffering. It also seemed to be tickling my arm at the same time. I could hear the voice say, "One cannot go through this preparation and death without their mind and heart solely on the Lord. You will die if you don't have your mind on Christ as the One who will see you through". (Many of the Israelites fell in the wilderness through unbelief.) Php.2:1-5 If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions, 2 make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the sa

    The Deceived Fall Away - David Eells - UBBS 10.7.2026

    The Deceived Fall Away David Eells, 10/7/26 (audio) Cleansing By Delusion Let me begin by saying that the Lord has been cleansing the Body of Christ of leaven and many have fallen away because they were not obedient to the Scriptures in their testing. They proved that they do not love the Word, Who is Jesus. Joh.6:66 Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 2Th.2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him; 2 to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand; 3 let no man beguile you in any wise: for [it will not be,] except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition(previously known as Judas). 4 he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, Temple here is the Greek word Naos used 9 times by Paul as the temple of God’s people, but never as the physical temple, which was called Hieron. … …setting himself forth as God  This will be like Judas revealing “himself” as his own god by falling away. Verse 6 And now ye know that which restraineth (the falling away), to the end that he may be revealed in his own season. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one (falling away) that restraineth now, until he (Judas) be taken out of the way (Numeric: “Be come out of the midst”). 8 And then shall be revealed the lawless one (They refuse to obey scripture), whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming; 9 even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Here we see that we are not to be deceived and that the coming of the Lord in and for His church will not be except the “falling away come first and the man of sin be revealed”. This falling away is the tares being gathered together to be burned. Like Judas, this corporate son of perdition sits in the temple of God's people, in verse 4, “setting himself forth as god” and deceives those who do not love the truth (verse 10) with his lying signs and wonders (verse 9), who will be destroyed at the coming of the Lord. Many will be beguiled by this corporate false Christian (verse 3). Before the coming of the Lord, God is sending a delusion (verse 11) to cleanse His church of those apostates who do not love truth. He is gathering the tares “in bundles to burn them” even now, but also in the day of the Lord. In the tribulation, the mark of the beast will gather the tares in bundles to burn them. They will be “gathered out of His Kingdom” but not yet out of the earth: that happens when they die, but in a major way in the day/year of the Lord that follows. In 70 A.D., the true disciples had fled to the mountains (The high places of God) as Jesus commanded, but the apostates were “gathered” into the city to be destroyed by the Roman Beast. The church will be prepared to meet the Lord, but the falling away of the man of sin must happen first to purge the leavened. Mat.13:41-43 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, (This is happening) 42 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine (no spots and blemishes) forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear. First, God will “gather out of his kingdom all that cause stumbling and they that do iniquity and shall cast them into the furnace of fire” (the Day of the Lord). “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” Mat.13:49-50 So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous, 50 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. First, “he will sever the wicked from among the righteous” (verse 49); then He will come for His saints and destroy the wicked (2 Thessalonians 2:8). Now let me share some revelations of these deceptions and delusions that have already caused, and will further cause, the unrighteous to fall away from the Truth.   The Dragon Show - A Great Deception Amber Arney - 4/14/21 (David’s notes in red) I dreamed that I was headed into the enemy's camp to gather information or to stop some plan or something similar. (The Lord warns us through dreams and visions about what is to come and what we need to pray for and do spiritual warfare against. Amo.3:6-7 Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah hath not done it? 7 Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets.) Their camp was in a bowl at the bottom of a dark mountain. (The dark mountain represents the current ruling Beast kingdom of our day. Jer.13:16, Give glory to Jehovah your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. i.e. repent while you still can.) There was a great show going on and a huge group of people were gathered to watch the performance. It was a live show like a Broadway musical. It was colorful and bright and gay, with dragons flying in the air, like a Disney production. It seemed so magical, like a cartoon, only it was really happening. (There are multitudes of people who are still under great deception by apostate leaders, the MSM, and all their witchcraft, lies, and propaganda. Only God’s elect will awaken to the deceptions of the Dragon and then the Beast in these last days.) 2Pe:2:17-20 These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved. 18 For, uttering great swelling words of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error; 19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage. 20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first.) Something seemed very special about the air around the outside stage. It seemed as if the light was reflecting off “fairy dust” suspended in the air, so that everything sparkled magically. (Representing the attractions of the lusts of the flesh.) Everything else surrounding the stage was dark, and the sun was almost gone. (We are living in very dark times, and many people are being affected by this “fairy dust” that dumbs down the population and fogs up their minds, taking away any desire to fervently seek after God, by the many distractions of the internet, social media, and the FunVax or Fundamental Vaccine. Eph.4:17-19 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart; 19 who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness (meaning, a license to excess), to work all uncleanness with greediness.) I didn’t get a good look at the show because I was intent on making my way down one of the aisles toward the dark mountain that filled my view. (God’s elect who have sanctified themselves from the world will be keeping their eyes on the straight and narrow road represented by the aisle. Our mission is to destroy the works of the enemy and of darkness through faith, spiritual warfare and intercession for the elect.) I went into the mountain and into a shop to get something fixed, like maybe a watch. (Indicating a timing). (This could mean that we need to get our timing fixed, representing that we are hearing and seeing much disinformation about the timing for certain events to occur? Or maybe it is that God is going to supernaturally fix the times we are living in through the Man-child anointing and the “Great Awakening revival”. Or both.) There were two workers in this dark, cave-like workshop. There was a dim, dusty light filtering through a small, high window. The small ray of light also seemed to have this same “Fairy dust” in it, but it didn’t seem so magical in the dark room. The shadows were a dark blue color. (Mat.6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness.) I waited while one of the workers tried to fix the watch or item I had brought in. The workers seemed intelligent, but something wasn’t quite right about them. (There are many false leaders preaching the rapture now instead of the falling away first. People in the alternative media realm are doing much slander and even putting out false timings for things, people, and events. 2Co.11:13-15 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light. 15 It is no gr

    God Empowers the Weak (8) - David Eells - UBBS 10.4.2026

    God Empowers the Weak (8) (audio)  David Eells, 10/4/26 God works all things together for our good if we love and obey Him. God hasn’t failed. God hasn’t missed. He hasn’t fallen off the throne. Everything He’s doing is to bring to pass the purpose that He had before the foundation of the world, when He chose you in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). If Adam had never fallen, would God ever have had to choose you to be in Christ? No. You mean, God knew that the fall was going to happen and He went ahead anyway? Yes. The Scripture teaches that very clearly. So we’re not here by accident. This is not Plan B. We were each put here like a seed sown in the earth. But then, among those seeds, the evil one came and sowed another seed, the tares (Matthew 13:25). We’ve been sown in the earth to bring forth fruit. When you take a seed and you shove it down in the earth, there’s dirt all around it. Don’t be surprised when you see dirt all around your soul. The dirt is your carnal or fleshly man. That’s God’s plan. It’s quite natural for a seed to grow in dirt, but it doesn’t grow very well if you leave it sticking out on top of the ground, or put it in the rocky places, or put it in the highways and byways (Matthew 13:4-8). A seed only grows well in the dirt. We don’t like the dirt, but take heart and rejoice because we’ve been put here to bear fruit to the seed of the Word. Where God has you is the most natural place for you to bear fruit. You just have to learn to agree with God in the process and not fight against Him. He has a process and a method. His method is going to be manifested by your obedience to Scriptures your flesh or dirt  doesn’t like. Our flesh fights against it, but it’s the most important commandment of Jesus to crucify the flesh. It will put to death the old man, to bring to life the new man. (Mat.10:16) Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. A dove is a pretty harmless critter. So is a sheep. Sheep are really pretty stupid, too. I’ve been around them a little bit, but I understand that when a wolf goes after them, they just hunker down and die. There’s no biting, there’s no kicking, there’s none of that. No fight at all in them. They just hunker down and die like it’s what they were created to do. Well, that’s the way we’re supposed to be. (Mat.10:16) Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (17) But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you; (18) yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake…. “For my sake.” This is what He’s talking about. For Christ to live in us, we have to obey His command here. You have to be like sheep in the midst of wolves. It’s for His sake that we’re delivered up. (Rev.13:10) If any man [is] for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. The real saints will patiently resist not the evil in others. .  The violent people who lift themselves up are going to die a quick death because God has an enemy coming against them that’s not going to lose. Even if they fall on their own sword, they’re not going to be wounded because God’s sending them. They’re coming to accomplish their purpose, and that is to destroy Babylon in us; to crucify the flesh in us. The people of God are going to be set free through the destruction of Babylon. But there’s also a little Babylon in each of us that has to be destroyed, too, and that’s why we’re going to go through this experience. Not only Babylon corporately, but Babylon individually. And God’s sending an enemy that’s fully qualified to take care of that. But He says it’s going to take patience, and it’s going to take faith for you not to take the sword because when you take the sword, your spirit man loses ground. My wife had a dream about this: a younger brother who was out of his mind with getting vengeance on the world. God was showing us that there is a young brother out here in the world, a young Christian brother, corporately speaking, that’s going to rise up against this country and think to take things into their own hands. People don’t understand this because their teachers didn’t teach them this, and their lives will be cut short because the enemy who’s coming against them is not going to lose. God has a purpose in everything. God is Sovereign and everything He does is right; even if He does it through a wicked vessel, it’s right. When He crucified the Lord, He used wicked vessels to do it (Acts 2:23) and it was right. Today, there are these militant anti-abortionists who are trying to get abortion outlawed by force. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m against abortion. It’s murder and there’s no way you can call it right. But God is so Sovereign that He will use abortion to take babies out of this world because if those same babies were to grow up in this world, raised by this wicked generation, they’d be hell-bound. He’s taking them out of this world through this wicked device so they can go to be with Him.  God is no fool; everything He does is right. When you look at circumstances, just remember God’s in them. He’s doing everything after the counsel of His Own Will (Ephesians 1:11). He doesn’t ask the devil anything, and He doesn’t back away from him. The devil just happens to be a vessel of dishonor who is, believe it or not, doing God’s Will. He’s wicked, he’s evil, he’s wrong, and the people who follow him are wicked, evil, and wrong, but he will fulfill the Will of God. The devil is here for people to make a choice. He’s here to bring judgment upon the sons of God who do wrong. As a matter of fact, the devil is here to give them an opportunity to do wrong. They have a choice in whom they obey and serve. This is part of our creation. We need an opportunity to do wrong. We’re going to find out through this process who the sons of God are. There are many who claim to be the sons of God, but before it’s over, we’re going to find out who they really are because the creation is awaiting the manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:19) and we will see that. They’re going to look just like the first Son of God, Jesus.  God says there’s no power but of Him (Romans 13:1). If a power is raised up, God put it there, and He wants you to submit to it as Jesus did, even when it’s evil. Remember, Paul wrote Romans 13 in a day when all the rulers over God’s people were evil. (Rom.13:2) Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. (3) For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same: (4) for he is a minister of God to thee for good…. Actually, the word “minister” there is the Greek word diakonos, meaning “deacon,” so these wicked worldly rulers are deacons. … But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister (“deacon”) of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. (5) Wherefore [ye] must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.  (6) For this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers (“deacons”) of God’s service, attending continually upon this very thing. (7) Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due;] custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. The Bible says, be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake. And, yes, there will come a time when they will say to you, “Deny Christ.” They will want you to trust in the arm of the flesh and submit to the authority of the Beast. But in this case we have a higher authority, Jesus. God says we should submit and obey as Jesus did when He was being crucified. The reason is that He put them in there to do this. Remember whom He put in authority when this was written. It was wicked rulers. Daniel was in the same situation, but he said that God raises up over the kingdom the basest of men (Daniel 4:17). He puts them there on purpose, and He puts them there to crucify us, if we will permit it. But God gives us His Word so that we learn to cooperate with Him in the process.  We must cooperate with God in the process of crucifixion, and the way to crucifixion, as we just read, is weakness. A person who will not resist evil is a weak person, but the power of God to give them life will be there for people who are weak in the flesh. (Jer.17:5) Thus saith the Lord: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm…. If your strength is physical and not spiritual, then you’re cursed. Any part of God’s salvation works that way. Any place where you trust in the arm of the flesh, or run to the help of man, there’s a curse in it somewhere. It will be there. You can’t escape it because God’s Word is never wrong. God didn’t design for Christians to trust in the arm of the flesh for healing. That wasn’t His plan. God always heals. Did you ever see anybody come to Jesus whom He didn’t heal? He always heals. Apostate Christians say He doesn’t, but they’re wrong. It’s because they don’t believe. We must believe the Scriptures. There’s always a curse when you trust in the arm of the flesh. My momma and daddy had a good revelation of that. I shared how my momma had been taking some kind of medicine for years and one day she looked in Reader’s Digest side effects of medicine. It said the side effects of her medicine were breast cancer and glaucoma, and she had them both

    God Empowers the Weak (7) - David Eells - UBBS 9.30.2026

    God Empowers the Weak (7)  (audio) David Eells, 9/30/26 We all want to manifest the fruit of the Spirit, but first there must be the crucifixion of the lusts. Jesus taught us and He’s our example. Many people think He was an example so that we wouldn’t have to die. No, Jesus didn’t die so that we wouldn’t have to die. Jesus died so that we could die. I’m talking about dying spiritually; dying to self. He died to make it possible for us to die to self.  Those who refuse to take up their cross and follow Him, and refuse to obey His commands, are refusing to be disciples. Even if they call themselves Christians. I want to show you that Jesus turned the other cheek, but He did it as an example to us. When Jesus was before Pilate and the Sanhedrin (Matthew 27:12-14), He resisted not the evil. He did turn the other cheek. He had the power to say “No.” He had more power than the disciples understood He had because they thought they were going to save Him with the sword. (Mat.26:52) Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. He said, “Don’t you know I could call more than 12 legions of angels?” (Matthew 26:53) Look, Jesus had power they didn’t know of to keep from going to the cross. He didn’t have to resort to man’s arm of the flesh. One angel in the Old Testament killed 185,000 men (2 Kings 19:35) and Jesus is talking about calling 72,000 angels here. That’s power! Christians need to realize that their power is not in the arm of the flesh; it’s in the Kingdom of Heaven. That power should be used to fulfill God’s Will. In the very next verse after Jesus said, “Don’t you know I could call more than 12 legions of angels?” He said, “how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?” (Mat.26:54) We want the Scriptures to be fulfilled in us, which is the manifestation of Christ; however, they won’t be fulfilled if you refuse to go to your cross. Just as Jesus had a free will and He could have called the 12 legions of angels, we have a free will, and we could, in many cases, walk away from our cross. But that doesn’t mean we won’t be faced with it again. We will be faced with it again and again because God is merciful. And we’ll be faced with it until we get it right or just run out of time because we are running out of time. We’ve been put here to bear fruit, and we’ve been given a certain amount of time to do that. There’s a door closing on the other end of this life. I’ve shared before the vision my wife had about being on a treadmill. The door ahead was closing. We had to run faster and faster to get through the door before it closed. The treadmill was imperceptibly picking up speed going in the opposite direction, and we had to run faster and faster. That’s the way the world is; it's picking up speed in the opposite direction, and the door is closing. We’re running a race but it’s not a race against one another; this is a race against time. There’s a door closing. You have to bear fruit or else you’ll be called what Scripture and Jesus called an “unprofitable servant,” cast forth into outer darkness (Matthew 25:30). There’s no such thing as bearing fruit without the cross. I’m going to point out just a few of Jesus’ commands and show you that when you obey them, they put you in a position of weakness. You cannot defend yourself. You cannot hit back. You won’t be able to do the things that your flesh wants because, if you do, your flesh will live and it will get stronger. (Rom.8:13) For if ye live after the flesh (in other words, if you walk in obedience to the flesh), ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. We want the new man to live and there’s only one way that can happen – the old man has to die. They live in the same house. The spiritual man was supposed to go into the Promised Land and kill the old man and live in his house, and we are, in one parallel, that promised land. That spiritual man is Christ in us and He’s the spiritual man in every one of us, Who seeks to take over our vessel. (1Pe.2:18) Servants, [be] in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. (19) For this is acceptable (the literal translation is actually “grace”), For this is grace, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully. Grace? That’s right. God sends us through grace down here on this earth. Sometimes we don’t look on it as grace, but it’s fleshly suffering. He calls it grace. That’s the original word there. We have to go through suffering. (Act.14:22) … Through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. We must go through suffering because the flesh doesn’t die without suffering. If you’re not suffering, then you’re not ceasing from sin. Peter said, He that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin (1Pe.4:1). That’s because when you’re suffering, when the flesh is suffering – and I’m talking about that entity of the old man in you, the mind of the flesh in you – when that old man is suffering, it means that he’s not getting his way and he’s dying. This is not about the physical flesh suffering, you understand. I’m talking about that entity that lives in you that wants to gratify “self.” If the old man is not suffering, you’re not bearing the cross; you’re not obeying the commands of Jesus to lose your life. So Peter called it “grace” here. (1Pe.2:20) For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it,] ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it,] ye shall take it patiently, this is grace with God. The last thing we want is to do right and to have wrong done to us in return. We want justice and our rights. The flesh demands its rights, but the flesh is a dead man. We reckon the old man to be dead unto sin (Romans 6:11) and dead men don’t demand rights. You can slap the dead man on one cheek and they’ll turn the other one, too. That’s the way Jesus commanded us. If you want that old man to die, then don’t feed him. Just don’t obey him and he’ll die. This is grace with God. (1Pe.2:21) For hereunto were ye called…. We were called to suffer in what the world would call “wrongfully.” In other words, we’re called to suffer when we do right. (1Pe.2:21) For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps: (22) who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: (23) who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously. In other words, Jesus left judgment, wrath and payback in the hands of God. Peter said Jesus left this example to us so that we should follow in His steps. Every day we’re going to have an opportunity to do this. There’s just no way you could live this life without having an opportunity to deny our self life. Don’t waste your time. Redeem the time (Ephesians 5:16), the Scripture says. This is what we’re here for. Suffering is one of God’s greatest methods to put to death your flesh so that Christ can live in you.  (1Pe.3:13) And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good? (14) But even if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, blessed [are ye:] and fear not their fear, neither be troubled; (15) but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear: (16) having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ. (17) For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing. (18) Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit. We can see a spiritual type there in the life of Christ. When He resisted not the evil, He was put to death in the flesh, but He was made alive in the spirit. This is a spiritual type for us because, if we want to be made alive in the spirit, we must accept our death in the fleshly self-life daily.  (1Pe.4:14) If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed [are ye;] because the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you. (15) For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men’s matters: but if [a man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name. (17) For the time [is come] for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if [it begin] first at us, what [shall be] the end of them that obey not the gospel of God? (18) And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear? (19) Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God (That doesn’t fit the prosperity doctrine very well, does it?) commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator. Commit your soul unto a faithful Creator. Jesus obeyed His own command in Matthew 5:39 and He was crucified for it. I can imagine several places where He could have interjected just a little bit of truth and totally turned the situation around, such as when He talked about, “destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up” (Joh.2:19). Of course, he spake of the temple of his body (21), but that’s not what was brought out at the trial by the Sanhedrin and I never saw Him even objecting to it, though He knew what He meant. He didn’t bother to stick up for Himself. There’s one person from the Old Testament who really impressed me with his understanding of not resisting him that is
