MILLENNIUM REIGN IMAGING

Jesus never intended to found a religion, but to bring a new way of spiritual connection with God for all people in all places. We are to live in a growing relationship with God, one in which He works in us developing growth, character, maturity and anointing — and discovering and using our God given gifts and talents and putting them to good use in our unique life purpose. That’s how the Kingdom advances. The Kingdom expands within us as our relationship with God deepens and it advances through us as we do the things God has created us to do.

 

Reimagening Faith Beyond Religious Structures

Spirituality is often a deeply personal and subjective experience that transcends traditional religious frameworks. For many people it represents a quest for meaning, connection, and understanding that does not necessarily align with established doctrines or rituals. This broader perspective on spirituality allows us to explore our beliefs and experiences in a way that feels authentic to us, often leading to a greater sense of freedom and individuality in our spiritual journeys. In this context, spirituality can be seen as a dynamic interplay between personal beliefs, experiences, and the search for a deeper connection with the divine, which may not fit neatly into conventional religious categories. This journey often involves seeking a direct and unmediated connection with the divine, free from the constraints of dogma or tradition. We may turn to various practices such as prayer, meditation, journaling, or spending time in nature to cultivate this relationship. These practices allow for a more intimate and personalized experience of spirituality, where we can explore our own beliefs and feelings about God without the influence of external authorities. The resulting relationship is often infused with authenticity and depth, reflecting the unique path each person takes on their spiritual journey. A personal relationship with God outside of organized religion can be a liberating experience. Such stories remind us that the spiritual journey is deeply personal and that each individual’s path, while unique, can resonate with others who are navigating their own conflicts between belief and belonging. Personal experiences play a crucial role in this transformation. We often encounter moments of profound insight or revelation that challenge the dogmas we were taught. These experiences might arise during times of crisis, joy, or even solitude, prompting a soul-searching journey that diverges from conventional teachings. The struggle of feeling out of place within the church can serve as a catalyst for deeper exploration. Many find that their spiritual journeys are enriched by embracing the questions and uncertainties that arise when traditional beliefs no longer fit.

It has nothing to do with a piece of real estate out there called heaven. It is about the ability to transform and transmute matter and time for the purpose of making known the unknown: create, experience, dissolve it, and create again. That is a godlike quality, and we can also call that growth. We have to know that it is not enough to simply understand  philosophy and theory. That is not enough. We have to learn to bring about and give birth to all that is latent in us, and there is a lot that is latent in us. If less than a tenth of our brain has been used this entire lifetime, then what is happening to the rest of it? Why is it still there, and why has it not deformed itself in evolution to be the size of a walnut? There is more for you to do, not in the sense of more work, but in the sense of adventure and discovery. You have all of the equipment and tools to bring about that manifested kingdom. Life is for experience, so a lover of God does not let the day happen. The Lover of God creates the day and guides it into an experience. Truth is taking the knowledge, the philosophy, and then applying it. Little by little you apply the teachings when you are happy because they are easy to apply, and it seems as if God has rained down a most amazing blessing and that nothing could ever go wrong. Then one day it does go wrong because you forgot to create that day, so you became subject to reality instead of being its administrator. Then when it goes wrong, you live in the wrong and you become trapped in a problematic existence. That is where depression comes from, and it becomes a habit. If you are depressed one day, then that sets the standard of existence for the next day. You wake up and the next day is rather gloomy because it was given birth by the day before. Then you live the gloom and only create more of it for the next day. That is its cycle. There is no reason why any cut on your finger cannot be healed in moments. There is no reason why you should have to beg or worry for your daily bread or your existence because you have learned how to change that. There is no reason for you to have to linger in depression, because you have experienced great joy, and it is only the re-remembering of how that came about that can change your reality.  There is no reason why we have to suffer, there is no reason why we should stay stagnated in our boring existence. There is no reason why our life should be mundane, but there is every reason why it should be changing every day. It is a shift in consciousness that brings a different hue to the day. The light shines differently and casts a different shadow, and the observation of the shadow gives dimensional perspective to the observer, which is you. It is growth happening every day of our life. There is no reason why we should be at war with our neighbors, and there is no reason why we shouldn’t love. We carry with us a certain arrogance, because as long as we have boundaries to our thinking we feel safe. It doesn’t matter how meanspirited we are or how unloving we are. It doesn’t matter how great a victim we are. At least we are a victim and we can count on that. Well, that is living inside the box. What happens one fine morning? One fine morning we have broken through the barrier of our own limitation, and we have walked the walk and lived it purely and simply. Here is the beautiful hand of God as consciousness and energy in full view, which brings about that miraculous healing.  So, never doubt.

Gaining The Heart

The way to reach people is to reach them through the heart. If a person were introduced to a true inward experience of Christ, you would see many more lovers of Christ walking in Spirit and in Truth and gaining a real inner knowledge of Christ. To learn the act of turning within, because after all that is the goal! When this act has been formed in us, it will express itself as a continual abiding in our spirit and a continuous exchange of love between ourselves and the Lord. Once this goal is attained, there is no longer any need to seek after it by outward acts. What a change and difference there would be in the lives of those resting in the presence of God.  All would become spiritual men and women with hearts set on knowing and experiencing Christ. Everybody needs to get touched by God, cry out for it, cry out for the baptism of fire. Without His power we are powerless and ineffective  in our efforts to love others in the way He loves us.  My own experiences have kept me walking closely with God. If it were not for those experiences and for those intimate times with Him, I don’t think I would have persevered. Christ’s way is the way of the heart, regardless of where we are going, or what we engage in, we start by entering the gate of the heart. The heart is always the starting point and the goal. Each is responsible for him or herself and the choices they make. Reality is relative, as long as it can be replaced at any given moment, by another one. That is why it matters which choices we make. Trust, patience, faith, intimacy, unselfish awareness and compassion lead to ultimate heavenly peace and freedom. He wants us to act and be mature and yet playful divine beings.  When we feel things the heart either opens or hardens. When the heart opens we take a step forward into a new liberating view of life, when it hardens a cold spirituality is developed that lacks contact with the heart. We need to know that Christ’s forgiveness in our lives requires us to understand that all that is lacking in life is simply everything we personally have failed to contribute to it.  Did you ever notice that people mostly listen to react, not to understand. Locked inside their own beliefs and closed hearts they will react to something they are not familiar with.  A new awareness and an intensified intimacy open the way for totally new relationships and for new possibilities in old relationships. ‘I make all things new,’ says Jesus as an encouragement to us to follow in His footsteps.  The person that lives according to God’s ways is always free, their work is called freedom. They have thrown away their blinkers and are engaged in honing their ability to be intimate. They honour their agreements, because they don’t arrange more than they can keep. They leave everything to their Inner guidance and higher self, for they know that if they don’t, they will be cut off from their heavenly state. They walk lightly on the earth and move gracefully through life. Their confidence is unlimited and they don’t try to understand that which cannot be understood. They are not afraid to let things be as they are, but offer help when it’s needed. By renouncing gossip and prejudice they have set themselves above the judgement of others, and their love and solicitude for them are unconditional.  Again and again we have to return to the starting point in order to see that the path one is on is the result of one’s own actions and choices. You can always choose another way if you realize that the direction you have chosen leads away from the light, because the path that doesn’t lead to the heart is an illusion.

The Fathers Love For Us

 It has always been easier to seek out priests and prophets and seers for guidance than to believe that we are wise enough to be the giver of it. As long as you look outside of yourself for reasons and answers, you will never hear the voice within you, the giver of all truth and the creator of all that is. You will always be at the hands of beliefs and reasonings that blind you to the awesome power and infinite understanding that you truly possess. I am a sovereign entity who can accept and create any truth I want. I can become the master of  my life or allow myself to be the slave, whichever I desire to experience. When we realize that each person is the true creator and controller of his life, the designer of his destiny, perhaps we will take that same realization and create for ourself a more unlimited life. And that will be a very good thing for our being. When you return to the Father and he contemplates the homecoming of himself, it will be a great day indeed, a great forever, for in your coming home you will have come to be as he is. And in being as he is, there always is a life of unlimited love, unlimited joy, and the foreverness of being. God the Father is lawless. Man is the law creator, not God. The Father has given man the freedom of will to be the sovereign lawgiver of his own kingdom, to create from thought whatever belief, truth, or attitude befits his kingdom in his evolving understanding of all life. Man has used that freedom to create laws that are deemed necessary in order to live in society. Unfortunately, most laws have been created ruthlessly for the purpose of intimidating and enslaving people. They have been created to limit freedom, not to exalt it.  Man — not God — judges man.   And man in his creativity has devised the balance of good and evil to take from his brothers their freedom of expression. The fear of punishment for not being in line with religious dogma or the laws of governments has been the sword that has ruled and controlled nations for ages. And if ever there was an evil thing, it is that which takes away the freedom of a person to express the God within him. And each time that is done to another, it is also being done to self and more profoundly so, for whatever judgment or limitation you place upon another, it becomes a law within your own consciousness.  And by that law so shall you be limited and so shall you judge yourself. You are a free soul and Spirit, you are free to create and experience in the moment whatever truth, whatever reality, whatever illusion you so choose. And in any moment you wish, you can re-create this dream, for you have the unlimited power to do so. You may see the slaughter of ten thousand innocents, and you may say, “Woe unto such a misery. Why don’t the angels weep for this atrocity? Why do they sing to the glory of God?” Because they have not limited themselves by believing that life ever ends. They know that those who are slaughtered are immediately caught up into heaven, for a greater learning and more experiences and adventures. And though you bury ten thousand bodies and you weep over them, God does not weep. That is why tomorrow always comes. Who do you think creates your destiny? Many believe it to be a sovereign God who manipulates everyone and causes all things to happen, because that takes the responsibility for their own lives off their backs. You control your own destiny. You are the creator of every moment of your life by what you think and feel in this moment. You only have to learn that this moment, this Now, is forever, ’tis ongoing.  That is the Father’s love for us: the freedom and the power that he has given us to create each moment anew.

A New Covenant  

There is only life in the words that the Holy Spirit quickens to us, and to hear Him, we have to be at a certain level of union with Him. This union or unity comes from constantly surrendering our will to His will and constantly staying connected to Him. Our own will and desires have to be submitted to the will of God, and this takes humility and meekness on our behalf. When we are one with God, nothing is impossible. The kingdom of God is within us. The beautiful thing is that He has given us the keys to that Kingdom! Heaven is in your heart. The two worlds exist in the same space; one is physical and has physical limitations; the other is spiritual and has no limitations. God Said, “I will put my laws in your minds, and I will write them on your hearts. I will be your God, and you will be my people. And you will not need to teach your neighbor, nor will you need to teach your relatives, saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already.  When God speaks of a “new” covenant, it means he has made the first one obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear. God’s plan has always been progressive.  The new covenant in which we now live is where God has affirmed His love in Jesus Christ based on His forgiveness and the promise to restore all things. We have been given a gift that will reorder the condition of our hearts and redefine our purpose for life. This can only happen if our primary focus is on God not on the issues of life. Within the body of Christ there are many issues.  None of these promises will happen because we all arrive on the same page about each issue in our culture and within the Church. They can only happen when we have faith in Jesus Christ, even when we are not in complete agreement on all things.  Failure is a reality only for those who believe it is. But no one truly fails at life — ever. In spite of each thing you have done — each horrible, secretive thing, you are still alive. A miraculous occurrence. To fail would mean to stop. Yet nothing can ever stop, for life is ongoing; it advances every moment. So you can never stand still or go backward in life, for each moment of life’s ongoing expansion always brings on greater and greater understanding. You have never failed; you have always learned. How do you know what happiness is until you have been unhappy? How do you know what your goal is until you have approached it and found it to be a different color than you had envisioned it? You have never made a mistake — ever. You have never done anything wrong. What is there to feel guilty for? All of your wrongs, your failings, your errors, are, what are called appropriate steps to God, step by step. And to know all that you now know, could only have been achieved by taking the steps. Never feel guilty about learning. Never feel guilty about wisdom. That is called being enlightened. You must understand that you have done what you needed to do; it was all necessary. And you made all the right choices, all of them. You are going to live tomorrow and indeed the blessed day thereafter.  Never desire to remove any of your past — not any of it — because the friction from all your experiences has produced within your soul the great and beautiful pearls of wisdom. Your life has been a wonderful example of the fire that lives within you. It should be reviewed in reverence, holiness, divineness, for no matter what you do, you are always in God. What is your path in life? To always follow your feelings, to listen to the feelings within your soul and embark upon the adventures that your soul urges you to experience. Your soul, if you listen to it, will tell you what you need to experience. If you are feeling bored or have no desire to do something, it means you have already experienced it and have collected the wisdom from that adventure.  Live the truth of what you feel inside and love who is feeling it. Understand that the feeling must be expressed and fulfilled. If you want to do any one thing, regardless of what it is, it would not be wise to go against that feeling, for there is an experience awaiting you and a  adventure that will make your life sweeter. If you listen to your feelings, you will always be doing the right thing for the evolution of self into profound wisdom. It is when you go against your feelings that you have sickness of the body. Follow your heart, your dreams, your desires. Do what your soul calls you to do, whatever it is, and allow it to be lived out. There will come a time when you have reached the point where you have no desire to do this or that but only to be. You will allow what you are, to be. When you love what you are, then you can say with grace, dignity, and humble strength, “The Father I love above all, for the Father and I are one.  Then we are in harmony with the flow of Life. We are then walking in the resurrection power of Christ, and we are a light to the world. Know that God loves you and always has. Know that you are not evil, nor are you good. Know that you are not perfect nor are you imperfect, you simply are that beautiful person God created. 

The Path of A Christ – (Risking everything for the sake of Truth.)

What is so beautiful about Yeshua ben Joseph is that even in myth he was exalted as being this great, powerful, wise, loving teacher. His message, thought to be original at that time, is an original message that did belong to him: “The kingdom of heaven is within and I am both the son of man and the son of God. As the son of man I am fragile, I am tempted, I am afraid, I am insecure, but as the son of God I belong to the ages. And there is nothing that you can do to me that my Father in heaven has not approved.” We love that, it makes us weep inside and we get closer to it because we think that if we worship him, somehow that greatness and that divine flawless life will rub off on us. That is why we weep when we invoke His Presence and hear his story. He was a great man who was the legal heir to the throne of Judea. He came from a royal house, and it was his job to transmute being the son of man into the son of God. It was his job to do that, he had a passion for it. Christ means the Christos, or “the chosen one” What that says is that he knew something. He knew it and he lived it. Many people can know things philosophically, theoretically, but they don’t live them. They somehow separate themselves from their knowingness. You will hear people say, “Inside of me I know better. I know what the truth is but I don’t live it.” Why? Is there some element to you that says that truth already is truth if it is realized and does not beg us to live by our own realization? Why do you know so much and live it so little? Is it then the action part of your life that is meaningful? The truth is, it is your image and your body that are meaningful to you, and then somehow over here in this little box you have got “the great knowingness” sitting that you sort of worship but never have to become. The reason that you love Jesus Christ is because Christ put it on the line. A man put it on the line and he was willing then to live his truth so that the idea of being the son of man became wretched to him because he realized that sons and daughters of men and women live life but the sons and daughters of God are inhibited from it. We love him because he was a brave man. We honor him because he does what we couldn’t do, what we would hope we could do but most people could never do because their greatest fear is death. Death is a fearful thing: the loss of youth, the loss of beauty, the loss of limbs. And if you take all of those and find what is the common denominator, it is loss, it is death. So how much greater could Christ have been than you? He was an entity that put it all on the line, everything. When someone says to you, “I will give you your life if you recant, you think about it. All I have to do is say I am sorry, all I have to do is plead as if I am ignorant, and if I do that then my life will be salvaged. But a great mind such as a Christ knows that once we prostitute truth for the subtleties of life, we are already dead. It could be as near as mastering this important part of your life, your image, your body, that a Christ could be as near as incorporating that beautiful truth into a living light. It could be that close. Well, it could be as close as to say what have I got to lose? Maybe I will gain everything. What have I got to lose by changing? What have I got to lose to give up my superficial ignorance? Maybe what I gain is knowledge and freedom. But then your mind goes to work and says, yes, but if you give that up, here are the consequences. Now we know why Christs were so rare, because they gave it all up. When you are willing to die for what you know, that is the moment you are truly the most alive. Jesus Christ is not to be worshiped as an idol but as an ideal to be loved and admired and inspired by. The greatest being that lives within you is the one that is the son or the daughter of the living God. Who is the living God? Your Holy Spirit. It is really the fundamental that holds your whole reality together. But we have a problem in mastery, we do, and the problem is that we think we are going to lose when we change, so now you are going to miss out on life. Maybe you have been missing it all along. So what do you say about that? Over here is your life, your friends, your enemies, your lovers, your husbands, wives, your children, your beliefs, your knowledge, your ignorance, your prejudices, your limitations, your accomplishments. And then right here is the message of God, the great life, the worthy life. How do we then merge the two together? Rarely are they ever merged because people want to worship philosophically, ideally, but they never want to live it. Why? I am going to ask you that question: Why would you want to?

A Quality Of Being Progressive

In reality, the truth of God is known instinctively, for God has embedded this knowledge inside every human heart. Love what you are intently and listen to the God within you, which speaks in a very subtle tone. It is called feelings. The feelings, if you listen to them, will tell you of truth and your path too progression. To educate the whole of humanity, one has to utilize the different terms which have been used to describe God; that is, one has to refer to God in ways that everyone can relate too. Though God has been referred to as the Father and so thought of as a male gender, the Father is not a man; yet man in his gender is the Father. But so is woman, for the Father is both male and female.

The term God is sexless. It means supreme intelligence. Those who do not understand the term I AM need to know the word Father. Those who do not understand “supreme intelligence” need to know the word God. If one insists that God is a Father, that is his truth. If there are women who are outraged because someone has called God a male gender, then that is their truth. But God will always be the perception of what God is, and that will always be unique for each person. God is not a word. It is a feeling/presence that lives within each of us. And the more unlimited your perception of God, the grander and more joyful that feeling will be as it encompasses more of the emotion called God Almighty. God is movement and color, sound and light. God is passion. God is love. God is joy. God is sadness. That which is — all that is — is what we term God the Father, the totality of life, and the lover of all that it is. God is not a singular character who sits upon a throne and judges the whole of life. God is the whole of life, every pulsating moment. It is the on goingness and foreverness of everything that is.

To be God is to be unlimited knowingness, unlimited being. To be man is to be the limited creature who does not open his mind for greater knowledge, who accepts theory and does not practice living, who is the taught rather than be the teacher, the protected rather than the explorer. A person that is willing to let go of all of their past is on the path too progression/enlightenment. As a matter of fact, there is nothing from their past that beckons to them any longer. They have done it all. They accomplished all of their dreams. They had all their riches. They had all their poverty. They had everything. And there came a moment in their lives when they were ready for something else. They wanted it. They no longer yearned for their past, what does that have to say about the person? The person owns nothing and is owned by nothing . Here you are busy accumulating things and this is telling you it is about one who owns nothing. It means there is nothing from the past that they are holding on to, second, the person who is ready for illumination is a person that is willing to change their attitude about life. Attitude is a very powerful word because the old ways of thinking no longer are recognized in a new attitude.

An attitude that is brand-new is sort of like a brain born into this life that has had no programming done to it. It is an attitude that is mature, but virtuous. It means an attitude that is not filled up, one that is vacant — a nothing attitude. But when that person is no longer owned by yesterday, when there is nothing that beckons to them, there is no obligation, there is nothing owned and nothing owing — when that is accomplished that attitude then is ready for development. It is to be enlightened in the most profound sense of the word, being in knowledge of, and then experiencing that knowledge. This new attitude has room for a new consciousness to absorb knowledge and then with focus to create the knowledge in one’s daily life to engage in and to fulfill. This new consciousness is not judgmental, it is not biased, it is no longer devoted to idols. It is devoted to the sovereign God Almighty. This virgin attitude has no need to gossip. This attitude has no need to be a dictator, it has no need to be a victim. This new attitude has no need for further bodily sensations because this consciousness has become that way by the person owning their past.

Next is that life is forever. The mere fact they know that they are eternal — then no longer do they have fear. They realize they are eternal and hunger for that and visualize that their eternalness is behind some veil. When they are no longer afraid to die, then the concept of eternal life is ever-present. To be fearless is to no longer fear death, therefore no longer fearing changes into the unknown. Most people are very frightened of the unknown. That is a difficult quality and one of the reasons that they do not manifest very well. A person who engages eternal life no longer considers death and no longer considers age because they become ageless in the light of all eternity. They have no fear of public rejection. They have no fear of social rebuke. They have no fear of being either famous or unknown. And in most senses that person does not seek to be known because that had everything to do with yesterday. ( 1. Owning the past, 2. having a new attitude 3. life is forever). Those are the makings of a Christ. That is the reason why the enlightened ones are so rare, look at what they had to become, not forcibly but what is a natural evolution in them. When they speak a word they are absolute Now. They are not sitting around thinking about someone else. They are not sitting around thinking about how they look, what they are going to do tomorrow, what they did yesterday. They are not sitting around afraid of what will happen when they engage this word. They are not afraid of what people will think once they manifest it. They are absolute. If the person possesses these qualities, what would be the indicators of one who longs for knowledge and illumination but who has not quite gotten there?

They live in the past and are still fighting with their image. They have not learned that they have already been this image. They have not learned that it is enough, that time is over with being this identity. So they live not only in the past but they do so through the activity of their image. That has everything to do with yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It has everything to do with your relationship. It has everything to do with how you look and how you don’t look. It has everything to do with living to public approval. It has everything to do with running away from adversity. It has everything to do with being small-minded. The next one is an attitude of one who has not quite arrived – The attitudes of these people are still judgmental. These people judge people and as a result they are judged. These people always have a fear, of not doing the right thing. These people’s possessions have great worth, no matter how small or how large. It is all relative. And these people, above all, do not like to be alone. The fact is that they have not yet come to that epic point of cleansing, to that new consciousness of what is truly important in their life. Fear mirrors everything back to them so that the basis of everything in their life is from the motivation of fear. And love doesn’t rule their lives because they have not earned the right to have it. Only the progressive one possesses that golden thread called love. It is not the love between two people. It is the ultimate love of God, which is the whole of the All that is — everything.

The Last Days Before His Return

Walking in the Spirit is not an optional extra; it is an essential requirement if we are going to survive the next few years. The end-times are not going to be a picnic, as we see the maturing of evil, as well as good, begin to accelerate. The clash between light and darkness will become the battle of the ages, and even though we know the outcome, surviving it will depend on our walk with God. The way to really find our peace starts with absolute surrender and it involves giving God our time. Waiting on God is not an option if we want to go to the next level; it is mandatory. It is my prayer that some of you will find your way across the spiritual wilderness of mediocrity and find a place near to the heart of God where true reality lies. Learn to listen solely to the voice within you and to follow only the path of joy. You will learn how to feel profoundly so that you gain the truest treasure of this plane: emotion. You will come to love yourself, that no matter who stands before you, you will find God in them as you have found it in yourself, and you will love them as deeply as you have learned to love yourself. Then you who have taught yourself so eloquently will be a brilliant light to the world, only because you are a radiant example of the love of self. Religion is dogmatic, restrictive, and very judgmental. It has brought great division and great hurt to this world. This is simply knowledge. It is learning; it is experience; it is love. When you begin to remove yourself from the laws of religious dogma and belief and cease striving to be another’s truth, then you are free to express yourself and experience the things that your soul calls you to do, so you can be fulfilled in whatever knowledge and understanding you are lacking. Yes, even the soul is filled and owned by God. It takes strength and courage and an unlimited mind to create, the good earth and the sweetness of life will provide the moment you engage. The most courageous, esteemed, truly glorified saints that ever lived have never been recognized because they never sought notoriety. They suffered, they endured, for the sake of the glory of God manifesting in them, for the sake of illumination. And what courage was it in a Christ? What courage did it take to have nothing but to own it all? What courage did it take to be the only one in a hysterical mob that knew peace? What kind of courage does it take to be willing to die to show that life is forever? So what kind of courage does it take to meet adversity and to rejoice and see the splendor in even a lily? What kind of person who can walk alone and be alone in the midst of ten thousand strong, where does its comfort come from? From the glory of the Father within them, something they don’t teach but live. And all the steps of these great peoples lives were fraught with change, and they had it in them to embrace it and change and grow and bloom. They are where you can someday walk, because you have walked as one. To live simply for the reason of living is the greatest achievement in the understanding of life, for that is when you will know peace. That is when you will know joy. That is when, you become as God in your totality once again. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are Gods?

What Is Truth?

These days it is almost impossible to keep up with what is being communicated. The truth is harder and harder to find because so many people today are claiming the truth. Our minds are being bombarded with what are different standards of morality, and what is considered to be acceptable, is confronting us everywhere we turn. How then can we know what truth is? “Truth is only what an individual perceives truth to be. Truth is an opinion, an attitude, a belief about something that has become an absolute in creative thought. Yet everyone’s opinion about any one thing will differ, often in a big way, for each has formulated that opinion based on his unique experiences and the understanding or misunderstanding that he has gained in his soul. There is truth in everything, but there is also refinement in all things, for each moment refines truth. That is why God is not in a state of perfection but rather a state of becoming. Each person continually progresses in his understanding to encompass more unlimited truth. And whatever his understanding is, moment to moment, it will be the truth as he sees it, as he knows it.” Truth is also a power and has a substance, when truth is heard and accepted, it brings light to areas of the mind, renewing one’s thinking. Only Jesus Christ knows all truth. He is the embodiment of all truth. This alone should bring us to a place of awe where we begin to realize that all truth is empowering and will set us free. When we walk in truth we walk in the light, darkness cannot and will not have a hold on us. There is nothing untrue, for all things are derived from thought, which is God. And God is not one formulated thought; he is the reality of all thoughts. God gives us a indelible mark when we come to Him and we give our lives to Him, and each of us that truly has done that, will know what that is. Someone might say to you “This is your truth but it isn’t mine!” they are right, because they have not yet experienced the embodiment of all truth “Jesus Christ.” They do not know Him, they have read about Him and they have sung songs about Him but they do not know Him! I remember the days when I didn’t yet know Him and what I thought was light was in fact very dark. We are the People of God that He knew before the foundations of this world we now live in, we are divine beings and we need to connect up with that divinity through Jesus Christ. A divinely-connected life progresses creatively, because to be “living” in the Divine sense means to be “alive”, to be creating, to be producing love. So therefore, a soul is always becoming more and more refined in spiritual growth which involves states beyond human comprehension, yet always remaining individual because individuality is a gift from and out of God. Your soul never forgets, it’s eternal. Your soul loves what it loves. Your soul will naturally align itself to a familiar vibration. One person will believe something to be true and another may not. The two cannot comprehend one another because they have not been one another and had the same collective experiences. Whose truth is correct? Both are. They are both truthfully right, for each is expressing the truth which his experience and understanding have allowed him to perceive. But if one’s truth is that his truth is the only one that is correct, he is limited in his understanding. So whatever you read or hear from a teacher is perceived truth: how he sees it, how he has learned it, how he has created it, how he is experiencing it. What you must decide is to what degree you wish to become a particular truth, for whatever truth you accept will become an experienced reality in your life. To say that anything is true indicates there is untruth. But in a greater understanding there is neither truth nor untruth; there is only the Isness of ongoing, evolving life. Everything passed on through religious people or spirits must be sifted for the Truth according to that laid down by Jesus the Christ.

I Am The Door

The experience of spiritual union with God is pure, tender, intense, unyielding love – the love which is truly Divine and which is unconditional. The only way you can become a true Christian is by meeting Jesus personally. He said, “I am the door, if any man enters in, he shall be saved.” You don’t meet Him in physical presence but you meet Him through the Holy Spirit and He breathes into you exactly the same kind of life that He breathed into the disciples in that upper room. Then you are born again and you receive within you a life that is undefeatable. The writer of Hebrews says that when we receive the Holy Spirit we’ve tasted the powers of the age to come. As I understand it, in the age to come our body will be spiritual, not soulish. Our spirit will control our body. We won’t have to bother with persuading our soul to do things. But in the meanwhile, you and I have got a foretaste, I know I have, and one reason God has given us a foretaste is to spoil our taste for the present age. I hope it’s had that effect with you. Some have said that God does not expect people to withdraw into silence but rather live amongst humanity to not only gain experience but to be of service to humanity. Never the less, it shouldn’t be forgotten that Christ often withdrew into solitude to pray, and He also said to pray in secret.We should be at peace, be still and know God, as well as be of service to others – that is what Christ exemplified. To truly understand the God in Christ and the Christ in God, we need to transcend the limitations of doctrine and dogma which appear to prevail in the mind of man today, and dismiss our concerns for our own salvation because we now have the knowledge that we are safe and spiritually liberated in Christ forever; this is because we have had Truth revealed to us and now understand – both in mind and spirit “the Way” He has laid down for man to follow, which leads into the Light that never fades. The Life which has no end. The everlasting life, and this is the Good News He brought.

Divine Love which enters into union with an individual spirit (which is itself Divine) in the form of tangible personal love, can come when the strong desire to know and experience the love of God is in our heart, although this union is not dependent upon conscious desire as it is received also by those who have not been consciously seeking it. The true lover of Christ will be desiring the love of God as his or her main goal, and working towards that end. By the grace and pleasure of God, the experience of this Divine Love can come to the person who is not following a similar path as the Lover of Jesus Christ, love does not restrict this personal and intimate union to those who follow similar paths. To experience that Divine Love throughout one’s life is rare and it does not require that the person was seeking it in the first place. It is not for man and his interpretation of scriptures to say how God works and how His Spirit can operate. Once this Divine love occurs within an individual soul, the human being of that soul undergoes powerful changes by nature because of this intimate contact with the Source of Life – Love. The person will be more conscious within himself or herself of spiritual qualities which emanate from Love such as humility, compassion, tenderness, kindness, selflessness and the desire to give without taking. However, receiving such a wonderful gift does not make a soul instantly prepared for the inconceivably powerful Realms of spiritual Perfection on departure from his/her earthly body; the pilgrim’s journey continues onwards and upwards through spiritual conditions of unimaginable and ever-increasing purity long after this life on Earth as a human being in the flesh. It is part of God’s Plan that some will have this experience while still here in a body of flesh, and that some who experience this can sometimes feel very sad because they cannot be with their Beloved. Also know that God does not interfere with the courageous desires of the individual spirit, and some spirits – out of love for God – choose a hard and difficult path while the opportunity for a physical body is theirs, and so they choose experiences which will test their faith in the most challenging way. This may involve choosing not to encounter the experience of Divine Love while walking in a body of flesh because the spirit knows that faith with “blindness” is so much more beneficial to the soul than faith with “proof”. These experiences are not as uncommon as people think it is just that most of the time such experiences are undocumented and remain as a personal and intimate relationship between the person and God, the individual would rather keep it that way. Some might call people having these experiences “mystics” but perhaps many of the people having the experience would call themselves just “ordinary” people like everyone else, each being a child of God. Others might term such people as saints but perhaps the people having the experience would be the first to claim that they are far removed from sainthood and would be fully aware that they are not perfect – they are simply overwhelmed with a spiritual and very real unity with the Divine where they are as one and yet remain individual in order to experience that unity.

The awesome Purity of God is known in It’s absolute fullness by none except God.

Embracing The Process

The Return Of The Ark

Now lets open our Minds and let it sink in. It has always been about Global and Human control and never, ever about your benefit, health, spirit, soul, family, talent or world peace. You and I were puppets on strings, in a world were evil exists on a level you cannot imagine. Prepare yourselves for some challenging times ahead of us, practically but also spiritually. Know that God is in control.

I have had this strong unction to write about surviving these very critical times we find ourselves in from a spiritual point of view. We need a personal and global revival so that we will be able to cope with what is about to expire in this totally “gone crazy” world we live in today. Revival is God bringing the church back to His established norm; Our problem is that we lose this place very quickly. The return of the Ark (His Presence) on the wheels of promotion and revival meetings won’t bring back the Ark. That might work in building a successful business but it won’t build the Kingdom of God. We need a church that resides in Power and Glory. A presence of God that lives there permanently or for an extended period of time. It’s time the people of God start honoring the divinity that resides within them, then they will no longer be immature like children who are tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. Also, a people who will not be influenced when others try to trick them with lies so clever they sound like the truth. God is determined to remove the flesh of man from the church and to bring us into absolute dependence upon Himself. Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord. There are no churches, no denominations, and there is no disunity in heaven. We are the church! Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. How do we measure up to this prayer in our church meetings today? I don’t believe God is against having buildings to meet in – the problem lies in our concept of the church and this fortress mentality, that says keep the people in “our church.” I do believe that God calls bodies of people together with similar destinies, in order to achieve the desired end in the will of God. The church in China is the fasted growing church in the world today, but there is no visible church structure apart from the “state-controlled so-called churches”. The nature and magnitude of the coming harvest requires unity among God’s people; we have to work together as one church, each with their own giftings and abilities working as a whole. It has to no longer be “my church” but “the Church” on earth as it is in heaven. Much of what God is doing today is to get us ready for that great manifestation of God’s presence. It is a time of grace during which our hearts are purified so that we will not hinder, oppose or put our hand on the Ark when it returns. He is building a church that He will not only visit, but also dwell in, and His glory will abide there. He is doing this now, and we can be a part of it. This will not happen in one place, or among one organization or network, but it will happen among some of the most remarkable people who have ever walked this earth and who will be bonded together in a work that is far beyond any earthly organization or management.

Now there was a long war between the house of Saul
and the house of David: but David waxed stronger
and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and
weaker (2 Samuel)

Awakening Destiny

In times of brokenness our hearts are vulnerable and open, and so pliable in His hands to be molded according to His nature. When we call upon His name it is the resurrection power of Christ that floods through us to make us whole again and to give us a chance to start again.  It’s that very beautiful vulnerable place that we should treasure and hold on too.  Intimacy is born out of that….

Each one of us is on a different spiritual level and maturity; As we awaken to our destiny we will be clothed in power and anointing which takes our journey to a whole new level. This is a necessary awakening so that we can rise up to a new level of understanding. God is raising up an army of warriors whose main weapon is TRUTH. We need the structure and the capacity to contain the new wine. A lot of people can not go where the Lord is leading, they can’t contain the new wine. Truer yet, they choose not to. Religion will tell us what to do and what not to do. True Christianity tells us what to become and how to become it. This places religion and true Christianity poles apart; however, the church continues to tell us what not to do, and conversely, what to do, placing an ideal of behavior before us which most find impossible to conform to. To rise above this religious spirit, we need to see what God requires of us from a different perspective. Many Christians know the word of God, but do not know Him. They do not know what He is like. Jesus was saying, “You study the Scriptures, but you do not come to Me that you may have life.” If we are to become like Jesus, we need to know what He is like. We have to know and understand how He transforms us. God is a being of light and that light is the power source of the entire universe; that light is the creative power of God, the healing power, the power that imparts revelation and understanding. Jesus is the light of the world and by Him and His light, all things continue to exist. God is love; this describes His nature. Everything God does is always and forever motivated by love because that’s who He is. God first requires us to become love in order to qualify for Kingdom power. If we live and walk in love we fulfill all the requirements of the Law and the Prophets. The problem we have in coming into union with the Lord is that of incompatibility. We have to become like Him in order to enter into union with Him. God is love and we must become love to be compatible with Him. All Jesus requires of us is to love the Lord with all our heart and love mankind as we would love ourselves. Now, this seems extremely simple, but it is not. The church has often taught just the opposite, and we see the destructive results that it has produced. Depressed, defeated Christians are everywhere. As we simply follow the way of Jesus, which is the way of love, this transformation begins in our lives. It happens simply, yet profoundly, as by His grace, we begin to change. So, If we have the desire to change to become more like Him and we begin to become love, the change will occur by two processes; By becoming love, and by exposure to the manifest presence of God. As we lose our own lives to express Him who is love, the change will occur within us. When our mind and lips lose the power to hurt, the light coming through us will be so brilliant and powerful that it will transform us. So, it’s up to us; how are we going to live and what are we manifesting?

The Stream Of Experiential Christianity

When our hunger for what we are seeing becomes so strong that God lets us have something in our day that was reserved for another day, then that should be the day of our awakening. The error of our ways is in the fact that what is believed requires little or no faith at all to get what most of the Church is waiting for, for the world to get worse and the Church to get rescued. What an irresponsible way of responding to such great promise! In the book of John Jesus says “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world. ”This is the promise” of overcoming, Jesus is saying, “I have overcome the world.” With that, He is implying that in Him, we also overcome the world. Overcoming the world does not only mean that you overcome the external challenges of life, but it also means that you overcome the internal struggles of your thought-life, your emotions, jealousy, pride resentment, anger, unforgiveness etc. Our personal experience of overcoming certain things in our lives gives us the qualification to help others with their problems. A life without personal experience is void of power, denies the opportunity for risk, and resists emotional expression and passion. It’s just mental knowledge… God always uses circumstances to push us to abandon ourselves to trust the intuitive sense-knowing and ‘the Word’…. which brings us to know something more of Christ and our new life in union with Christ ”experientially”. When we have experienced the resurrected Jesus, we can’t help but talk about Him, we have now tapped into the joy that fills the entire universe and so naturally you want others to meet this God. This is a God worth telling people about. Knowing Christ is knowing Him personally by direct, personal participation; we need to have an experiential knowledge of Christ by knowing and enjoying Him, He is the Shepherd of our soul. When we testify of such an experience, the Body will know that this is real to us. For example; when I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ, everything changed for me in such a beautiful way that it could never be erased or forgotten. I called upon His name and He answered in an instant, not at all knowing what would follow. What followed was costly, but the experience of that purification fire changed my life. Our lives become easier through abiding in Him and then our focus changes, we know what needs to be placed first. We grow strong in the Spirit and are no longer influenced by worldly distractions. Yet we are still in the world but not of it.

May we not only have a mental knowledge of all that Christ is but open our whole being to Him and enjoy Him, experience Him, be one with Him, and have Him live and walk with us.

Body, Soul, Spirit: Simply Explained By David Diga Hernandez

I am a spirit, who has a soul, that lives in a body. You are a spirit, who has a soul, that lives in a body.

Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again (1 Thessalonians 5:23, NLT)

BODY

Your body is your “earth suit.” Your body is your connection with this world. Your body is the vehicle through which you experience the natural realm. Every single interaction that you share with others is through your body. With the body, you speak and communicate. With your physical being, you see, hear, and touch the world around you. Contrary to what some religious ideologies have led us to believe, the body itself is not a sinful, corrupt thing. Sure, the body is decaying and dying. And, yes, your physical body can be trained to become an instrument of the sin nature, but that doesn’t mean that your body is itself sinful. Your body can be used for either sin or holiness. The choice is yours. In fact, your body can be a carrier of the glory of God. 

Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself (1 Corinthians 6:19, NLT) 

Your body can be a holy host of the Holy Spirit’s presence. You can be the Holy Spirit’s physical connection with this world.

SOUL

The soul is the realm of decision. In the soul lives your mind, will, emotions, and personality. Your mind—what you imagine. Your will—what you want. Your emotions—what you feel. The soul is the neutral ground between the body and the spirit. It is the place where free will is exercised. 

The soul is eternal, and everyone has a soul—redeemed and unredeemed alike. The wicked have souls. 

The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes (Proverbs 21:10, KJV). 

The godly have souls. 

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth (3 John 1:2, KJV). 

Every human being has a soul. 

In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind (Job 12:10, KJV). 

The breath of life is in the soul. The soul gives animation, consciousness. The soul is where your free will is exercised.

SPIRIT

Your spirit is your connection with God. It is the innermost part of your being, the center of you, the source of your identity. Your spirit is the deepest part of you, and your spirit knows perfect fellowship with God. 

But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets. No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us (1 Corinthians 2:10-12, NLT)

No one knows your thoughts like your spirit does. The same is true of God. The Holy Spirit knows God’s thoughts. The Holy Spirit, who is God’s Spirit, searches out the deep things of God. The Holy Spirit knows God’s secrets, intentions, and desires. The Holy Spirit knows God’s will. The Holy Spirit perfectly and completely understands God’s nature and power. Everything there is to know about our infinitely intricate God, the Holy Spirit knows. The Holy Spirit is not learning about God. The Holy Spirit knows God. He knows Himself fully. 

The Holy Spirit communicates what He knows of God with your spirit. God’s Spirit shares revelations with your spirit. God’s innermost Being shares mysteries with your innermost being. In that place of inner oneness, divine secrets are being imparted. By the Holy Spirit, every believer has this privilege of internal, eternal connection with God Himself. 

No matter how you feel in body or soul, your connection in the spirit remains. You live, not to connect with God, but from connection with God.

Your body belongs to God. (1 Corinthians 6:19, NLT)

Your Spirit is one with God. (1 Corinthians 6:17, NLT)

And, yes, even your soul is filled and owned by God. (Ephesians 1:14, AMP)

You are a Spirit, who has a soul, that exists in a body.

The Journey Home

Entering the Kingdom of God doesn’t mean waiting for Jesus to come and rescue His church, that sounds more like the Kingdom of comfort. At least not for me. The Kingdom of God is the world of spirit, where everything that applies in the material world is turned on it’s head. It is an internal event here and now activated by entering into His presence on a daily basis by which our human nature turns into something higher. The Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew is aimed at a transformed world depending upon each individual’s following Jesus’s guidance. Keep in mind that Jesus wasn’t a pastor of a church, so this “sermon” was different than the kind of religious messages we hear today. Jesus attracted a large group of followers even early in His ministry — sometimes numbering several thousand people. He also had a smaller group of dedicated disciples who remained with Him all the time and were committed to learning and applying His teaching. Jesus taught us to shift our perception, to see things in a different way, God’s reality is the reverse of material reality. That’s why the meek shall inherit the earth, why evil shouldn’t be resisted and why we should love our enemies. It takes a shift in perception to see this, the same shift that Jesus himself made to arrive at unity with the Father. Jesus also taught us that God’s providence is given to all, when He said that the first shall be last, He isn’t referring to the material world, but to the action of Grace. Like the rain, mercy falls upon the just and the unjust alike. The birds of the air and the Lilies of the field are not human, but they benefit from Providence, and if we think we have to struggle to survive, we don’t know God. God being everywhere, God makes himself felt everywhere. Jesus taught us to Go beyond appearances, your enemy appears to be your enemy, but in God’s eyes the two of you are bound by love. To realize this divine equality, we must see beyond appearances. To live in a new way, we have to grasp the opportunities for change. If we are still attached to what we know or knew, rather than possessing the wonder of Christ and discovering the limitless realms of the Kingdom of God we will be intimidated by truths held in mysteries that have been unknown to us. Seeing the world through old expectations and beliefs only reinforces untruth. Because Jesus’s eyes were open to the source, Jesus saw reality for what it is: a constant manifestation of God. Why is anything true or beautiful or powerful? Because God contains truth, beauty and power. It does little good to know this intellectually. Experience is everything, so therefore Jesus keeps giving us experiences of miracles, signs and wonders over and over again. Truth is multidimensional and some truths are superior to others. So much division takes place in the body of Christ (among believers) when we are devoted to a different level of truth. We tend to prefer static rules and boundaries and not the things that flex and change. Preset boundaries are what keep us focused on obedience instead of relationship. Obedience is set on memorized rules and regulations, relationship is set on His voice and Presence. The rules and regulations sit at a different level of truth. The challenge here is, can we hear what He is saying now, for now? Can we accept that He may speak differently to each of us?

Living In A Parallel World

I remember the day when I left the big city about 37 years ago following a very strong unction I got in my spirit to move to the high desert in Arizona, to a beautiful small town in the mountains where it snows in the winter and everything turns magically white.  People from big cities moved there to live a different life style, a more authentic and down to earth existence where you get to reinvent your life and hopefully meet the real you, away from all the superficial garbage. It was a very different world from what I was used to, a parallel world perhaps? It was a world that welcomed me as if to say ”you belong here”. A friend of mine in America sent me an article recently named; “What Does A Parallel Society Look Like?” which inspired me to write this article about the times we are living in today. We are now living in the ”end times” or the last days of a world we were once quite comfortable in, but which is rapidly changing to a world of discomfort for those who cannot and will not comply with herd mentality and gross injustices. The extent of the lies that people are believing in is enormous and so undeniably destructive in it’s application. Where does one draw the line when it comes to being threatened to lose one’s job when a so called vaccine is being forced on you and leaves you no choice but to take it. People are afraid of losing their jobs while they have families to support, understandably so, and end up choosing the way of compromise and  placing themselves and their families at risk. I have great admiration for all the people that have taken a stand against the shot in spite of loosing their jobs. They stood up for what they believed. There is now clearly a spirit of division rising up between the people that have taken the vaccine and those that have not. What is more criminal, they are promoting that our children take the shots as well. This is a planned global homicide upon humanity and it’s unacceptable. Doesn’t it seem strange that the vaccinated need another 2nd shot and then to top it off with a booster shot? Why do you still have to wear a mask, are those three shots not protecting you? Why worry about the people that have not taken the vaccine, after taking all the shots, you are now protected, right? Why do the protected need to be protected from the unprotected, by forcing the unprotected to use the protection, that didn’t protect the protected in the first place! Does any of this make sense to you? Wake Up!  Each person on this earth has the right to live in peace under the best of conditions humanly possible. To take away a man’s freedom of choice, even his freedom to make the wrong choice, is to manipulate him as though he were a puppet and not a person.” If you were forced to take the COVID-19 vaccine by coercion from your employer, local, state or federal government agency, school, hospital, airline, or law enforcement agency, your rights have been violated. If you have not been vaccinated you are also a victim of discrimination and unlawful stress and oppression.  More and more people are now leaving the big cities to create a ”parallel world” for themselves where they can build a life that is sustainable and free. Where they do not need to wear masks and can breathe fresh air, and where their resourcefulness will be put to good use. We are now in those times that were spoken about years ago by the prophets. Prepare yourself and stop living with your head buried in the sand as if nothing is wrong, hoping that everything will turn back to the way it used to be. In 2014 Neville Johnson a wonderful man of God said that he had a visitation and that God spoke to him about a number of things. He spoke to him about the coming seven years. He said that there would be seven years left before it would become difficult to buy or sell or do any of those things. 2014 plus seven years brings us to 2021 and look what is happening already with the vaccine mandates all over the world. Some people are already unable to buy food or travel without a vaccine passport. There is also going to be exposure. People in high places are going to be exposed. People in ministry who are not really walking with God are going to be exposed. God is going to clean up the church. He is going to shake everything that can be shaken. Eventually worldwide Military Coups will begin, but first: Martial law. The Military in many countries will activate Martial Law against riots, food shortage, gas shortage, vaccine mandates, forced lockdowns. Citizens of the World will rise against the Deep State Plandemic. The good news is that there is also going to be a transfer of wealth to those in the kingdom of God who can righteously handle it. We can’t give hope to a fearful, confused and distressed world by focusing on doom and gloom which also sends out a negative message about God’s goodness. Especially when He clearly tells us in the word that He is a God of hope, redemption and light that triumphs over darkness. Only the ones that look to God and overcome this tribulation time will enter what Revelation Chapter 20 discusses as the Kingdom Age of the Millennium. The Kingdom will be an earthly existence. The Millennium is the length of time that the Kingdom, or Kingdom Age, will last.

 “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
 See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and His glory appears over you.” (Isaiah 60:1-2)

Going Beyond Being “In Love“

Jesus invites us, in this life, in this broken beautiful world, to experience the life of heaven now. He insisted over and over again that God’s peace, joy, and love are currently available to us, exactly as we are. A love that surpasses the limits of ordinary experience, the kind of love that no longer limits our ability to be our self or takes away our sense of self. This kind of love allows us to be ourself, it strengthens our identity. God wants to give us that kind of love, a love that is generous, not jealous and selfish but allows us to grow as we should, and not be held back because of being misjudged. People struggle with their identity which has to be be in Christ alone and not in what they do or don’t do. Falling in love or being in love in the old sense should no longer reign in our lives. Love demands freedom. It always has, and it always will, but remember this; We are free to resist, reject, and rebel against God’s ways for us. We can have all the hell we want. Ask yourself the obvious question: how could anyone choose a different way with a universe of love and joy and peace right before them, if all they have to do is leave behind the old ways and receive the new life of the new city in the new world. Love demands freedom, and freedom provides that possibility. In the last chapters of Revelation we read that the gates of that city in that new world “never shut” so if the gates are never shut then people are free to come and go. That is how love works, it cannot be forced or manipulated and it always leaves room for the other to decide. Removing the props allows us to see who we really are, and who others really are so that we can finally be of use to each other and to God. It’s amazing what can happen if we’ll live “seated with Christ” in His realm, and will not allow our lives to be governed by the seen world. We are practicing an ascended lifestyle. We are living from heaven to earth. We live above the enemy not under his power. Try it! We have nothing, except the world, to lose. Without the capacity to see life from God’s perspective we will perish. Without seeing our present circumstances through God’s eyes, we will spiritually die. We need to ask Him to help us, to see everything through His eyes.

Here are some reminders for all of us to remember;

1 None of us have cornered the market on Jesus Christ, and none of us ever will.

2 Remember this; people come to Jesus Christ in all sorts of ways

3 Don’t stop someone from exercising their gifts: His disciples want to shut down a man healing in His name in Luke 9, but Jesus says sharply, do not stop him, for whoever is not against me is for me.

4 The last thing we should do is discourage or disregard an honest, authentic encounter with the living Christ. He is the rock, and there is water for the thirsty there.

5 It is very important that we don’t become afraid of someone who thinks differently from us and stumble over something that is meant for our good, fear comes from the enemy and he doesn’t want us to experience God.

6 If we are always worried about being deceived, then our “God is to small and the devil to big.”

7 Lose your life and find it, He says. That’s how the world works, that’s how the soul works. That’s how life works when you are dying to live.

Protection for God’s people;

  Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.”

 Surely he will save you
    from the fowler’s snare
    and from the deadly pestilence.
 He will cover you with his feathers,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
  You will not fear the terror of night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
    nor the plague that destroys at midday.
 A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
 You will only observe with your eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.

 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
    and you make the Most High your dwelling,
 no harm will overtake you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
 For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;
 they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;

I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble,
    I will deliver him and honor him.
 With long life I will satisfy him
    and show him my salvation.”

Psalm 91

Out Of The Shallow Into Wisdom

If you constantly turn people against you, you are not walking in wisdom. If you constantly get bad reactions, again, you are not walking in wisdom. We are learning how Wisdom is a person – Jesus; and true wisdom is seeing things through the eyes of Jesus. True wisdom requires an intimate relationship with the Lord. To qualify or receive real wisdom, we must have certain aspects of the nature of the Lord in place in our lives. To establish an intimate relationship with the Lord and be able to see through His eyes, we have to be established in certain qualities of the nature of Jesus. Frustration, tension, and stress can occur for several reasons, but a primary reason is striving for something that is not ours in God, something that He does not require of us. This can be many things – it can be your purpose in life, or what you think your calling is. Some people are in the position of a pastor or other ministry/vocation because it is what other people want for them or what they wanted for themselves, not because it was their calling. When you are doing something that is not what the Lord wants for you, you will have to strive to fulfill it, and striving leads to jealousy, envy, and often a controlling spirit. Don’t take on someone else’s yoke; what does the Lord require of you? When we finally make it to heaven, what God will look for is how much of His Son Jesus He can find in us, how much have we learned to love. The prime purpose in coming to this earth is to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ and the conditions here on Planet Earth are hard enough, difficult enough, for this work to be done in us. There are many things we can’t change in life, there are circumstances beyond our control, there are mistakes we have made which often we have to live with. Take responsibility for this life you are living – no one owes us anything; stop blaming other people for the circumstances you are in. There are many things we can’t change; we have to live with them. I am not talking about compromising truth; rather, I am talking of being wise and seeing the spirit of a matter instead of just the letter. Some will never see your point of view; don’t try to force your round peg into their square hole – it’s not wise. After all, you could be wrong. One of the requirements that has to be in place to receive wisdom is: purity of heart. Heart purity has to do with motives, why we do what we do, and why we say what we say. We look at what a person does. God is not that shallow; He looks at why they did it. God’s wisdom is insight into the true nature of things, the wisdom that comes from above comes through a vessel that has died to self, one that is not going to insist on what they want. Only by pride, the inability to give in and let go, does contention continue, but to the well advised it is true wisdom to let it go.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. James 3-17.

Faith Grace Love

Grace is the free, unearned gift of the life, work and message of the Word made flesh. Grace is what makes life worthwhile, for it comes in and through a person called Jesus and so is personal, and is relational. Grace is love in action always protecting, always trusting, always hoping, always persevering. Love never fails. Grace reaches out to the greatest of sinners, to the least deserving, and welcomes them, and forgives them. Grace is love in action toward the prodigal, the promiscuous, the disabled, the ill, the dangerous, the corrupt, the controlling, the anxious, and the dying. Now faith in the life of a believer runs on the wheels of grace, so it is grace working through faith, faith expressing itself through love, and love fulfils the commandments. And so, without faith, it is impossible to please God.

Here are some thoughts on love and the heart. If we are centered, we are living from the heart in a balanced state of love and trust that is in sync with the natural flow of God. Our perspective is one of balance and we tend to listen to the “muttering” of our own heart when faced with decisions. I think that a heart disorder is the manifestation of the opposite mindset. If we are having heart trouble we probably tend to take everything to heart, or take things far too seriously. We are not allowing the flow of God in our lives and fighting the current to the point of physical and emotional exhaustion. We tend to deny our own needs and fulfil other people’s needs in order to be loved. We seek love through what we do for others…Jesus tells us to love others as we love ourselves. Do we love ourselves enough so that we can love others with an open handed unconditional love. Something to meditate on and place before God. This has been something that I have had to deal with on my journey with Jesus. This morning during my quiet time I reflected on my past and everything that I have gone through, I have no regrets, it made me the person I am today. I now realize that my faith played a big part in my past and without it, I would not have come to the place I am today…standing in faith for God to do what seems to be impossible in the eyes of others. Hannah, in the book of Samuel, wept because she knew there was a purpose of God within her, which was yet to be fulfilled and manifested. She knew that she was not on earth for anything less then what God had called her to do and to be. Within her there was a dissatisfaction because she knew that there was a purpose from God for her. We know that God has a purpose that is deeper and better and greater for our lives and we will not be satisfied until that purpose is accomplished and it doesn’t happen by accident. God does not call us to do what we can do in our own strength, He does not give us a destiny that we do not have to walk by faith to believe Him for. There is nothing that He calls us to do, that we have the ability to do without Him. Everything He calls us to do, takes His ability, His anointing, His grace and His provision. Think of Abraham and Sarah, who were not able to bring about His word, they were too old. Why did He not pick a younger couple? Why did He have to promise what is beyond our reach, and why does He have to declare what is beyond our ability to accomplish. Because it takes faith to be the doorway for God’s will into the planet! It takes faith to receive for this earth what God has for her. God needs faith! Our purpose and our successes and victories in life are not about us, they are about what God wants to accomplish through our life. Faith does not receive what we need, faith receives what God’s will is for the planet. Hannah needed to believe God, Hannah was already loved, Hannah was already excepted by God but the people around her were a nuisance to her. People that would talk about what God hasn’t done because of this or that, when you are busy believing God for what He said He will do! There is always somebody that wants to talk about the ”what if’s and what about’s” to sow doubt and unbelief into your calling and who God has ordained you to be. Hannah was willing to believe God beyond her own ability so that this earth could receive the benefits of faith and the outcome of what God had designed for it. Something within her was not satisfied, something within her knew that God had more for her. God inspired the faith within her, there is no faith that is not inspired by God. We think faith is about us, about our house, our car and our bills being paid. Faith is not about that, faith is an open door from the realm of Gods promises into the realm of the seen, from the invisible into the visible. Don’t ever let your circumstances make your faith barren. If your faith is not fruitless than your life will never be fruitless. If your faith is not hopeless, your life will never be hopeless. Your trust is in God.

I now also realize how faith and love are connected and that we cannot have one without the other. God puts us right with Him by the power of His spirit working through our faith. So what really matters is faith that works through love! Galations 5:6 says; all that matters now is living in the faith that is activated and brought to perfection by love. When faith and love are brought together our entire outlook will begin to change and we will begin to view the world through God’s eyes. So it is grace working through faith, faith expressing itself through love and love fulfills the commandments. God wants us to walk in love, because His love never fails.

In It – Not Of It

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.  –  Romans 12

To live in a fallen world means we struggle with sin on a daily basis. We experience heartache and pain. We witness natural disasters and staggering losses.  Injustice, inhumanity and falsehood is what surrounds us each day.  Discord and trouble are commonplace. None of this was God’s original plan for humanity. We fell from our original position in the Garden of Eden.  We now live in a fallen world, and all creation “groans” under the consequences of our sins.  We are still in this world but we are no longer of it, we are still surrounded by all the horrors and tragedy of this life, but this is not our life.  In God’s word it says to not be conformed to this world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.  A great awakening is starting to happen, for all that is secret will be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all.  We are now living in the days of the exposure of all things hidden and the revealing of gross injustices.  Did you know that one of the the biggest money making industries today is child sex trafficking run by the global elite, among other abominable practices I will not even mention here.  As I am writing this, tunnels are discovered and thousands of little ones all over the world are being rescued and set free from years of sexual abuse and satanic practices. See the film “Sound of Freedom”  based on a true story about the fight against international child sex trafficking. More than 2 million children a year have been trafficked and sold. It has been all about the children! If you have wondered why Capitol Hill and the White House in America have been fenced off, it isn’t because of protecting the goverment officials from rioters. We now read from different sources that the truth is, that there have been tunnels discovered underneath these two buildings and children have been rescued from out of there. If this is true, it’s hard to believe isn’t it, all of this is going on under our noses and people don’t have a clue. Yes, we are not of this world but we do need to know what is going on in this world! For too long the people have been brainwashed and made to believe things that are just not right, like globalism (a one world order) to take away our individuality and religious freedom among many other things. The truth needs to be exposed and is now in the process of being exposed because people are waking up to all  that is going on at the moment, there is a payday coming. So many believers today are still afraid and live in this bubble of ignorant bliss where reality is encroaching on their doorsteps ready to shock and devastate them. Pretending it’s not there is not being a Christian, have you been churched for too long or have you been taught spiritual warfare? I hope the latter. We need more watchman on the walls, prayer warriors that see things coming and sound the alarm. Thank God there are many of them out there already, people that are doers, shakers and truth sayers, that are not afraid to stick their necks out for righteousness sake.  How ready are you to stand up for what is right and not to let fear control your life.  This is such an exciting time we are living in, we are privileged to be alive and to watch it turn for the good for all who love God.  Take heart people, there is a new world coming!

Jesus said that if you tenderly care for this little one on my behalf, you are tenderly caring for me.  But if anyone abuses one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for him to have a heavy boulder tied around his neck and be hurled into the deepest sea than to face the punishment he deserves! 

Holding On To Everything That Is True And Real

God has called us to a place of tenderness, where nobody is looking, and there are no great decisions to make. Where it’s just Him and you, with no one to pray for, no one to preach to. That’s where you learn His heartbeat. That’s where you learn His voice. It’s in the moments when nobody is watching, nobody is evaluating how good you’re doing. When it is just you and Him.   –   Bill Johnson

Let’s imagine that heaven is not up in the sky, but rather in the invisible, spiritual realm which is all around us but beyond our perception. If our eyes were really opened to see the fullness of reality, it would suddenly cause us to see colors, lights, beings, wonder, glory, hear sounds and music, that can only emanate from the presence of God. Not a world a million miles away, but only a thin veil away.  A veil that hides this material dimension from that glorious one. I don’t see this as two separated and isolated realities at odds with each other in some way. Not at all.  They are one  –  “Behold, the dwelling of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them and be their God and they shall be his people” (Rev. 21:3).  When I was living alone for ten years in a small Adobie house in the mountains of Arizona, I experienced the reality of Heaven being all around me, just like it says in the Word of God, a “great cloud of witnesses” are all around us; heavenly beings are all around us, lights, colors, and glory that radiates from God’s unconditionally loving, joyfully peaceful presence. Never did I experience any fear living there on my own. Only His warming peaceful presence, we just don’t see it. We are not ready to see it. Our eyes are not fully open.  I felt it, because our universe is alive and impregnated with the presence of the life of God. Sometimes, we get glimpses of it. We can have moments of revelation as a glimpse of that other world which is all around us, it suddenly breaks in, and God touches our heart and mind in a transformative way.  How does that happen? Well, He knows our heart, our desires and our longing, and He doesn’t need our permission to do what He wants to do, to bring about that transformation we so need and long for. Just make yourself available! That first night alone in that small adobe house, it happened to me, heaven suddenly broke in without a warning. Lying down for the first time that day and looking out the window up into the sky, I saw the milky way as clear as crystal and there must have been a billion stars welcoming me into my new venture. Everything was alive and vibrating, suddenly the sounds that I started hearing were other worldly almost to loud, as if I was being cheered on by a heavenly host. Even though I did not fully understand what was happening I surrendered to this extraordinary event, sleeping was impossible until early hours in the morning. These experiences I will never forget, they have made a mark on me that can never be erased. We need to remember this though, that there is no breakthrough without follow- through; if we do not turn encounter into an ongoing experience then we have met God but not been transformed by Him. His Presence precedes process, embrace the process. It might also be something you are invited to, be openminded and place your fears and judgements aside. Even if it doesn’t look or seem familiar to you “be open”, listening to things you have not heard of doesn’t mean they don’t exist, you might learn something. Extraordinary things seldom happen when we are stuck in a rut and to afraid to make a change. You know that there is so much we miss out on in this life we have created for ourselves, so filled with distractions and unnecessary chaos and confusion (holy confusion of course:) which seems to be something most people thrive on. My thoughts on that are, that it makes people feel secure, its familiar, it makes us feel that we belong but it never brings that divine connection that we so long for and seek after to bring about that transformation we need. That… takes going deeper, much deeper then what most people are willing to sacrifice. The fear of being alone is an illusion because we are never alone, but only experiential knowledge can convince us of that. When we take the time to think about the purpose of God toward us, we can step into a new, more powerful place of beholding and becoming.
