Page 57 - The Road from Babylon to Zion

Galatians 5:4
You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified
by law; you have fallen from grace.

Don’t fall from grace on your journey to Zion. Resist the Devil when he comes to you
with this subtle deception and he will flee from you. Remember, you are children of
the free woman, not the bondwoman, “only do not turn your freedom into an
opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another” (Galatians 5:13).

The last conversation I had with this lawyer, of whom I have been speaking in this
chapter, involved a very peculiar event that happened at that time in his life. This
man owned some goats, and he and his family milked the goats and they used the
milk for food. One morning this man drank some goat milk and then became deathly
sick. He broke out in a rash over his entire body and then he began getting a tingling
in his extremities. At the same time his esophagus began to swell which made
breathing difficult.

He got in his car to drive to the office of his family doctor. He phoned his wife using
his cell phone to tell her where he was going. He began getting worse and worse, and
breathing became more difficult. He feared that he would die in transit, and he
decided to go straight to the emergency room instead of to his doctor. He was able
to make it there and they took him right in.

By this time his fingers and toes were turning grey as blood was being rerouted from
his extremities to his vital organs to keep them from shutting down. The emergency
room staff immediately began administering drugs to counter what was occurring
in his body, and for a while it was a very narrow thing that he survived. This man
later determined that his goats had been eating poison ivy and that this had
contaminated their milk.

Now I know that NOTHING happens in the life of the saints by accident, so I began
asking the Father about this event and He showed me the following things which I
shared with this man. Remember, at the beginning of this chapter that I spoke of
food sacrificed to idols and the doctrines of demons. This symbolism was something
this man was very familiar with, and it was the topic of one of his first writings. God
uses illustrations in our lives that we can relate to.

Goats are often representative of evil. We are given an account in scripture of a great
judgment where the sheep are separated from the goats. Also, in Satanism today, a
horned goat head is used to symbolize Satan. The Father showed me that this event
in this man’s life was symbolic of spiritual truths relating to his walk.

This man drank tainted milk from a goat which is symbolic of feeding on doctrines
