Cain murdered first, so much we know, but the Bible does not explain those other people, which Cain joined himself with in Ashur the land of Nod. Ashur is the head of the Assyrian pantheon. The Assyrians did not require conquered peoples to take up the worship of Ashur; instead, Assyrian imperial propaganda declared that their gods had abandoned the conquered peoples.)

The point is that the conquered people had conquered other people and the warmongering was in their blood; and their DNA has finally landed in us. If we accept it or we deal with the truth of the matter then we might change our DNA. A little of the bipedal animal, Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons and Cain resides in all of us. But we can change that. Let me tell you how.

We know that thoughts travel and any creative thought must be infused with an emotion. There is the wrathful, hateful and deadly emotion, or an altruistic, benevolent and loving emotion. These two types of the emotion-infused thoughts move through our bodies through our nervous system. Nerves are like electrodes of sorts carrying neutrons and electrons; they pass not only through our wrinkled brains, but also throughout our beings, which means through blood, bones, skin, soul, mind and spirit. Negative disposition establishes itself and the offspring or such person will definitely have those predispositions. Just as there are genetic weaknesses and hereditary proneness to illness there are character and temperament traits commonly found in each family tree.

Watch this. In the book of Nehemiah 9 the Jewish exiles kept confessing their sins, but also their fathers’ sins. They even separated themselves from the foreign genetic pool of Babylon and Persia, for they did not know yet then that repeated returns to the Lord; and cleaving to His ways, actually does change our DNA. This stubborn adherence to our Maker manifests the fruit of love for our God. The nervous system picks up the signals; creates new creases in our brain; changes our way of thinking and the overall dispositions. The nerves pick up that inner joy and the gift of peace also and then distribute those precious properties throughout our system. One begins to walk with God. It’s inevitable. Sooner or later one must be transformed by this amazing power. Why is it so difficult for people to imagine it? If you pollute your mind with pornography and feed on it; then only flesh and more flesh is on your mind and then normal sexual cohabitation with your spouse may not be enough. The flesh will ask for a kinky sex or orgies, pedophilia, homosexuality, masochism, sadism, etc. In the same way, when one is cleaving to God and spiritual things and finds spiritual pleasure in it; one longs for more and more of the uplifting knowledge, which in fact pushes out the old knowledge like the old wineskins. One finds the new wineskin better; and the new wine spiritually intoxicating. A person is being transformed as the nervous system is being (positive) bombarded with this new glorious information. It begins to distribute spiritual properties establishing new (positive) strongholds. (Jacob experimented with those desires on his sheep and it worked; Jacob actually changed the genetic makeup of his flocks.) One then quite easily parts with any old associations if they do not make for peace. One easily lays aside vindictiveness, animosities, or jealousy. Any desire for vengeance or the ill feelings of envy and strife. It is easy to part with these because one is in that euphoric state of God’s glorious freedom.

After the nervous system has done its job then the DNA data strands also acquire new in-formation about you. That information is being stored not only for any future generations—if you started to feed your DNA later on in life—but also for you as an individual. You can see your old person in your children, but your children do not see that old mom and dad anymore. Hey, you can look like a stranger to them.

At sixty-five Enoch produced an offspring (Genesis 5:21-24) and then he walked with God for 300 years. Again (V. 22) AFTER he fathered Methuselah with other sons and daughters Enoch kept walking with God as if to say, he fulfilled his natural mission of procreation first. His children matured and had their own families while their father walked with God and then they saw him no more, which means they were not at their old father’s funeral. That old dad was no longer there. Imagine.

Indeed. Blessed are sons of God the peacemakers.

Today we know, that there have been civilizations dating 100,000’s of years back. I am absolutely certain of that. (Perhaps later on I will explain it at length.) Those people lived from subjugation of other peoples and so on; civilization rose upon another civilization and all were involved in warfare of sorts; from the hunters to stalkers of animals and of humans and murderers etc. That’s the reason why God clearly stated (Genesis 6:3) that Adam has ALSO become like all the other peoples. Flesh. The limit of years to only 120 speaks more than a thousand words.

Let me site just a few key points here:

1. It speaks of the fact that once a limit is imposed then the prior truth was that there was no limit.

2. That Adam has ALSO become flesh speaks of the fact that he was not just flesh-and-blood like all the rest.

3. If war-makers carry the death curse then the peacemakers are blessed for they carry the blessing of perpetual life.

4. If the earth longs for our manifestation, for the earth actually responds to man’s violence with violence, then the creation has the record of all violence.

Take Romans 8:13-22 at its face value and understand.

“If you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are put-ting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.”

Now, a war like person will fight against his or her own flesh, but still fight. “Putting to death the deeds of the body”—like in the dark ages through mortification and self-flagellation is not what the apostle means here. That does not look like a person at peace with his or her being and certainly not a peacemaker.

The teachings that our bodies are our enemies came from celibate priests and monks. Once you understand your body and its natural needs you will be at peace with your body. So Paul is not speaking about mortifying your body, but rather infusing it with peace, which is shown in the next verse.

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!”

Our heavenly Father is perfect and Jesus told us that we could become as perfect as our Father. Why not? For even the creation longs for peace for it has enough of bloodshed and wars.

5. Peace that transcends all understanding is not a normal peace, or the peace after a war, or just a state of quiet, but rather something supernatural beyond our grasp. Jesus said, “My peace I give to you and not the kind of peace this world offers, but My kind of peace.” Go figure. What’s that peace? I’m getting closer.
Bear with me.

6. Hospitals are filled with wounded people, and dying people. War outside and war inside. The war outside, which comes from strife, or gang battles, is one. The war inside attacks the organs and causes cancers, unrest and often a body attacks itself like the heart attacks, which is nothing else, but a war inside the body and it comes against the pomp. A heart turns on itself and implodes. The immune system sometimes turns on itself weakening its defenses as if on purpose; and as if it wants the body to succumb to illness and quickly die. A destructive behavior of the inner organs is not normal for it looks as if they do want to die, but in fact they cry for help. They need peace and not stress, worry, insecurity, Godlessness… lack of peace.

7. Finally, peace heals, while war divides. While peace brings healing unrest brings sickness.

[Isaiah 26:3] “The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace because he trusts in You.” (NASB) “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: be-cause he trusteth in thee.” (KJV)

Perfect peace is God’s peace. Perfect love is God’s love and this kind of love banishes all fear, worry, unrest and insecurity from its presence. That is exactly what Jesus was teaching us by telling us to not worry about tomorrow, (Matthew 6:30-34) or what we would eat or clothe ourselves with, etc. Today, He still keeps on addressing those sayings to the peace-makers. But the peacemaker must get the message and eat it like bread until it sustains his being with new strength.

The word steadfast or stayed in Hebrew (סמך, samak) means: to lean on, to rest in, as in being supported and sustained. In other wards one actually draws from God’s sustenance not war, but peace, which Paul touched on:

[Philippians 4:6-7] “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

There is a place of never being anxious for nothing. It may sound strange, but right there resides the seed of immortality; for one resides in the PERFECT PEACE and the PERFECT LOVE; that surpasses all comprehension and casts out all fear. That means: our mind can no longer interpret it in any way, one stops even speaking about it for it is a state of being. One IS.

…Just pause here and meditate on these words for a while. Say something to the Lord and feel the surge of that wondrous flow of His love toward you…

All of my life I have been in the business of healing people through peace, not even excitement, which comes from the sensational realm of the fleshly senses. Peace is health. Peace is heaven. Peace is God.
