    Mr. Average Looking ChristianMitt Jeffords

    In this dream, I saw a man who appeared to be around 45 years of age. Hewas neither short nor tall; neither fat nor skinny. He had on a yellow knit shirtand nice blue jeans. He was clean shaven. He had a pleasant face and hehad such a humble countenance that he it would shock me to see him eitherboast of himself or enter into any kind of an argument. He had short hair andwas the kind of guy that you could pass on the street and never noticebecause he just looked so average. This dream seemed to last for at least 30minutes, and during the entire time of this dream, I found myself standinganywhere from 3 to 6 away from; and for the entire 30 minutes I just lookedover this man from head to toe. Not once did this man ever acknowledge my

    presence in his sight; it was as if I was allowed to clearly see him, but hecould not see me. Even so, I seemed to be to perceive that this man felt likesomeone was watching him.

    As soon as I woke up, I asked, Lord, what was this all about, and who wasthis man? And the Lord answered me and said, Antichrist. I then answered,Antichrist? What do you mean Lord? The Lord then said, I came into thisworld to reveal the nature and the character of my Fathers heart to all thosewho desire to become his sons; who desire to be changed into his likeness. Itis in this revelation that the hearts and the minds of the wise and faithful arechanged into my likeness by my Spirit; for it is as it is written, that whosoeversees the Son sees the Father also. But it is not so with this man, though Ihave called him into this destiny.

    1 John 2:18-20 Little children, it is the last time: and as you have heard thatantichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we knowthat it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for ifthey had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but theywent out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. Butyou have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.

    John 12:44-46 Then Jesus said, "He who believes in Me, believes not in Mebut in Him who sent Me. And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.

    Though I have called this man out of the world, he has allowed himself to bedeceived by all those things which he knows naturally; that is, he presumesthat the spiritual things of God are like unto the things that he knows naturally;so he does not seek nor ask for me to reveal myself unto him. He presumesthat the earnest of the Spirit given unto him is all of the Spirit that I desire togive unto him. He then presumes that the way that he sees and judges allthings is as the same way that his heavenly Father sees and judges all things;so he does not ask for me to open his eyes so that he can see and judge all

    things as Father does. He presumes that his natural wisdom is like unto thewisdom that comes from above; so he neither seeks for nor asks for the

    loves him. He presumes that the laws and rules that he observes are like untothe laws and rules that God observes; so he never comes to me asking for theSpirit of the Life. He presumes that the faith that stands in his own works, inhis own strengths, in his own abilities, and in his own wisdom is like unto thefaith that pleases God; so he never asks for me to increase his faith. This is

    he who refuses to know me because he has been deceived by his naturalpresumptions.

    Jeremiah 9:4-6 Take you heed every one of his neighbor, and trust you notin any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor willwalk with slanders. And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and willnot speak the truth (only their own interpretations of the scriptures):they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves tocommit iniquity.Your habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse toknow me, says the LORD.

    1 Corinthians 3:18-20 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among youseems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool so that he may be wise.For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, Hetakes the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knows thethoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

    Jeremiah 4:22 For my people are foolish; they have not known me. Theyare senseless children who have no understanding. They are wise to do eviland to do good they have no knowledge.

    II Thessalonians 1:9 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when theLord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flamingfire taking vengeance on them that do not know God, and that obey notthe gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall be punished with everlastingdestruction from the presence of the Lord (see above: II Pet.2:9-12), and fromthe glory of his power.

    There is nothing that is natural unto man that is like unto those things whichare of God. The thoughts of the natural mind are not as the thoughts of thespiritual mind. The things that naturally seem right in the sight of men are not

    right in the sight of God. The things that are naturally esteemed and honoredin the sight of men are abominations in the sight of God. The natural senseshave no agreement with the senses of the Spirit. Even so, this man stillpraises me with his lips and honors me with his mouth, but he never drawsnear to know my heart. I called this man, but he refused to let me correct himof the natural, always justifying his natural state so as to save his life. Heasked me to bless him, and I love to bless my people. He asks me for aministry, and ministry is given to him. He asks me for gifts, and I love to givegifts to my people. But he never asked me to reveal unto him the nature andthe character of my heart. He desired to make the natural be like Christ, buthe had no desire to in Christ, or for Christ to be in him.

    Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit againstthe flesh.

    Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; but the Lordponders the heart

    II Samuel 16:7 The Lord said to Samuel, Do not look on his appearance oron the height of his stature because I have refused him; for the Lord doesnot see as man sees.

    Luke 21:16 And Jesus said to them, You are they who justify yourselvesbefore men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemedamong men is abomination in the sight of God.

    Mark 7:6-7 Jesus answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy ofyou hypocrites, as it is written: This people honor Me with their lips,but their

    heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me,teaching as doctrines thecommandments of men.

    As Lucifer desired to be like God, so also does the spirit of antichrist desire tobe like Christ, always declaring, I want to be like Christ. How can flesh belike spirit? How can that which is natural be made like that which is spiritual?Herein are my people deceived by the works of their own hands; for as Satantransforms himself into an angel of light, making himself an imposter of thethings of God, so also does the spirit of antichrist work to make the naturalthings to be as an impersonation of Jesus Christ. Those who imitate me donot know me, for I am not an imitator, and neither are my children imitators. Iam real; my power is real; my wisdom is real; my goodness is real; myforgiveness really forgets; my healing is real; my truth is real; myrighteousness is real; and my love is real. I am reality; the natural is only atemporary illusion of the reality. Those who seek for me with their whole heartshall be changed into my heart; and my reality shall be their reality. As Christcame to reveal the unseen Father, so also does the spirit of antichristrelentlessly work to make his imitations of God to be acceptable to the naturalsenses of man.

    Romans 1:18-23 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all

    ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth inunrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest inthem; for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of him fromthe creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things thatare made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are withoutexcuse, because when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neitherwere thankful; but they became vain in their imaginations and their foolishheart was darkened; professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,and they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made liketo corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

    Jeremiah 29:13 And you shall seek me and find me when you shall searchfor me with all your heart.

    It is as it is written, that I have called each one of you into the same destiny, tobe conformed to the image of Jesus Christ through the working of the HolySpirit; for I am the Son who is well-pleasing in the sight of our heavenlyFather. I am the gift of God unto all those whose hearts truly desire to please

    Father. Do you not know that you cannot increase in me until you are firstwilling to decrease in the natural? You cannot have life as long as you lovedeath. So also is it written that you cannot live in the Spirit until you first die tothe natural; but many do not have this vision.

    John 3:30 He must increase and I must decrease.

    1 Corinthians 15:36 You fool, that which you sow is not made alive except itdie.....46 Howbeit that is not first that which is spiritual, but that which isnatural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

    Just as I typed the last word of the previous sentence, the Lord then gave tome a vision of this same man, and in this vision I saw him in the identical waythat I had seen him in my dream. As I began to examine him the Lord said tome, This is not antichrist but this is now Christ; for now he has taken up hiscross, to crucify the corruption of those things which he knows naturally. Hehas surrendered his heart and mind into my hands, which in turn has allowedfor my Spirit to mortify all that which he knew naturally. He has given me hisall, and now I am giving unto him my all. Now I am allowing for him to see thesecrets of my heart, my nature and my character; and I have now I make allthings new. Now he no longer walks in the evil of his own wisdom; and neitherdoes he walk in the iniquity of sins that seem right to his natural sensesbecause I have shown myself unto him; and he who sees me sees the Father.He who sees the Father then dies to all that which is natural. Now I dwell inhim and he dwells in me. Now we have become one. This is the revelation ofJesus Christ.

    Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, thatye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which isyour reasonable service; and be not conformed to this world, but be youtransformed by the renewing of your mind.

    Judges 13:22-23 And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely diebecause we have seen God. But his wife said unto him, If the LORD werepleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meatoffering at our hands neither would he have showed us all these things, norwould as at this time have told us such things as these.

    Colossians 3:9-10 Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off theold man with his deeds;and have put on the new man, which is renewed inknowledge after the image of him that created him.

    I Corinthians 1:18 Now the message of the cross (daily cross) is foolishness

    to those who are perishing, but unto us who are being saved, it is the power of

    God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring tonothing the understanding of the prudent.

    Proverbs 3:7 Be not wise in your own eyes (natural sight); fear the Lordand depart from evil

    III John 11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. Hethat does good is of God: but he that does evil has not seen God.

    I John 3:6 Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins has notseen him neither known him.

    Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God

    I John 3:2 Brethren, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appearwhat we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like

    him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that has this hope inhim purifies himself, even as he is pure.
