Trey Knowles: Risala 24 - To the Scattered Flock

You have heard, ‘Let us make man in our image and likeness,' and that ‘no one who has been born of God practices sin, because God's seed abides in him...

Jerusalem, you are the heart of my God, and Bethlehem is the brain, the House of bread of my lord Yeshua, that we eat and produce fruit. Jerusalem, lose your life to gain your life. The frequency of your channel has been changed.

Who took you out of your name and out of your character? Follow our Lord Yeshua and return towards the image and likeness of our Father Yahweh. So that the counterfeit imprint is removed from the House of Jacob.

Did I not command you, O Children of Adam, not to follow Satan, for he is truly your sworn enemy,

أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ مُّبِينٌۭ Surah Ya-Sin (36:60-61)

But to worship Yahweh alone? This is the Straight Path. Psalm 68:4 says, Sing to God,

sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, by His name Yah, and rejoice before Him.

O House of Jacob, why not be in God's likeness? You have become too comfortable, running wild and completely out of control; your Statue of Liberty has become your golden calf.

O House of Jacob, from slavery to enslaving yourself—you have not been delivered. You have returned to the house you left, but are worse off. The house is the person's inner life—their identity, habits, desires, worldview, and environment—yet it lacks spiritual nourishment. Hearts are dry, unrooted, and unanchored; minds are empty, yet not renewed.

The spirit seeks rest—meaning old patterns look for a place to reattach. Not because they have power, but because emptiness invites occupation. When an impure spirit comes out of a person, its influence loses its grip. The false identity is cast off; deception is exposed. The colonizer has been evicted, but the rightful King has not been enthroned. You can remove what is wrong without establishing what is right.

A person can be freed from what once controlled them, but if they do not fill that freedom with truth, purpose, and God's presence, the emptiness becomes an invitation. A clean house without a new occupant is still an abandoned house.

O House of Jacob, why not be in God's likeness? Come to my Lord Yeshua and be filled.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ كُلُوا۟ مِمَّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ حَلَـٰلًۭا طَيِّبًۭا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ مُّبِينٌ

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:168)
“O humanity! Eat from what is lawful and good on the earth, and do not follow Satan's footsteps. He is truly your sworn enemy.”

O House of Jacob, why does your colonizer put stumbling blocks in your way?

For it is written in Matthew 18:6:
“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”

O House of Jacob, now that you are aware of your enemy's tricks and schemes, be like God, developing moral perfection, righteousness, and holiness. O House of Jacob, therefore, be imitators of God, in His likeness. You must therefore be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, Yeshua.

You were indigenous before you entered the world. If they had loved my Lord, why did they change His likeness? If they knew His name, why did they change His name? So remember, O House of Jacob, if the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated our Lord first.

If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world. You were indigenous, but our Lord has chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what our lord told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted our Lord, they will persecute you also. O House of Jacob, why do your enemies mistreat you?

Look at that thief who gathers crops but mistreats the roots. He wants the fruit but has no regard for the source. He takes what benefits him and destroys what sustains life.

Whatever they did to you, they did to my Lord, because you, House of Jacob, belong to the Lord.

If they obey our Lord's teaching, they will obey yours also. Those who love Israel, my people, will be blessed. O Israel, House of Jacob, they treat you this way because of our Lord's image, likeness, and name, for they do not know the One who sent our Lord.

If my Lord had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. They have seen, and yet they have hated both our Lord and our Father. They have hated our Lord—and you, Israel, House of Jacob—without reason.

So, O House of Jacob, now cling to our Lord Yeshua and come to His Spirit, for He has not abandoned you.

Grace and peace,

Sincerely,
Trey Knowles
