In the stillness, this beautiful vision fills my being and touches all of creation.

Father of my true Self, you are my heart, you are the love I give. You are my mind, you are the divine thoughts I think. You are my vision, it’s your eye of Light and Truth by which I see. You are my voice, it’s your words of life I speak. You are my will, it’s your will as my own moving through me and creating. You are my eternal present moment, you fill all in all. You are my Source and your likeness emerges through me. We are One.

Father of Heaven joins with my waking soul, they are one. This oneness extends the vibration of life into all of creation like the sun touching all with its life-giving Spirit.

Contemplating the oneness of Truth while guided by the Voice of Truth produces the evolution or maturation of the soul, spirit and mind, so reality can begin to reflect Truth's immutable, divine attributes, which manifest the highest good for all. This blog reflects an ever-deepening understanding of the Truth a soul gains as its mind is renewed by Truth's pure Light.

  1. “And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things.” (Doctrine and Covenants 88:67) Light is the fundamental or spiritual element out of which all things are composed, all ideas are fashioned out of Light, all visions or dreams consist of Light, along with the substance or element of FAITH —- which is the ingredient of power necessary to form or fulfill any hope or desire. “FAITH IS TRULY THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR.” It is the element of things not seen. When God began to exert His faculties to form a world, He gave out that all-powerful command:“LET THERE BE LIGHT; AND THERE WAS LIGHT.” (see Genesis 1:3)

  2. With this knowledge, it is only necessary to turn the dial of one’s thinking a fraction of a turn and tune in on a higher station of thinking and the feeling or vibrational condition or sphere of exultation, and the new power will bring forth new programs of wondrous harmony or of lasting value…

  3. Passover is the beginning of being reawakened and released from the slavery of the carnal mind in leaving the mind set (Egypt) of this world. Pentecost is the season of accepting the indwelling spirit of unconditional love from God in His inpouring of His likeness into us. This “receiving” of unconditional love must be given in the same manner in which it is received….without conditions. This unconditional love is received into us while we are yet in our sins and oppose God, so in God’s likeness we must therefore give this same unconditional love in the same manner to others while they yet oppose us while in their sin and disrespect. Loving unconditionally is looking past all faults and having the fortitude and patience for the love of God to be formed in us as well as in others. Unconditional love is given with no thought of getting anything in return, no recognition, no praise, no adulation, no red carpet treatment, for these traits are from the ego of the carnal mind. Their can be no agenda when love is given without conditions.

    Paul tells us in first Corinthians 13:1-3, “If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging symbol. And if I had the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing and if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.”
     
    Jesus said in Matthew 5:43-48, “You have heard that it was said, you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, and praise for those who persecute you in order that you may be sons of your father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and send rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax gatherers do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Therefore, you are to be perfect, as your heavenly father is perfect.”
     
    Jesus knows we cannot accomplish this state of being on our own so we must accept His unconditional love in our Pentecostal experience of accepting His love. In order for the unconditional love of God to do its “complete” work in all we must participate in giving it out as we receive it in. Otherwise we oppose God in preventing His spirit from flowing through us, in reaching others. Unconditional love is the river of living water that flows through us. If we build a dam of disbelief and prevent it from reaching its source in others, we do all a disservice, mostly to ourselves. To be perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect we must come to love those who oppose us just as we are unconditionally loved by God as we reject, disobey and oppose Him. Same…same
     
    In 2 Corinthians 5:16 – 20 we read Paul’s words, “So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!  All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”

    We must Know and understand that we are under the dispensation of grace in order to be reconciled and for our sins to not be held against us. Grace is the act of forgiving sin until we gain the strength to defeat it. Grace will remain with us until sin is no more.

    Grace is a part of this unconditional love.
     
    Being redeemed is the breath of life being breathed into us, counting no man’s sins against them, for if sin is retained their is no reconciliation. It is therefore important to understand that if we are to be fully redeemed from our sinful nature,,,we must learn to forgive as we are forgiven. Our forgiving others is what completes our own redemption. We must give what we desire to have. In our resentfulness and unforgiving nature toward some who have offended us, we prevent our own blessing from materializing and taking root. We pray for a release from our anxieties and stresses of life, yet we do not receive it because we are unwilling to forgive and release others from the very same things we pray and ask God for. This is hypocritical and we wonder why peace does not come? Again, what flows in must flow out. We are forgiven as we forgive.

    The voice of God to accomplish reconciliation is in Christ and Christ is in us. Our identity has been redeemed in the resurrection in Christ. Christ reconciled the world to himself, counting no man’s sins, trespasses, or iniquities against them. He then sent the Holy Spirit to breathe the breath of Divine Life, Love, and Light into our hearts. It must work for one as it does for another, so if we want it to work for us….we must allow it to work for others exactly in the same manner. We reap what we sow. Do we retain our critical bad attitude toward those who offend us or do we release ourselves by releasing others of the same? Do we sow discord or so we sow peace? Again we do reap what we sow. Let us show tolerance to receive tolerance and to grow in love we must forgive the infractions against us to make room for more positive growth. An unforgiving nature takes up the space where love should dwell. To become one with God we must give up our duplicity of spirit and the only way to do this is to forgive just as we are forgiven.

    When we understand that the key into heaven is giving to others what we ourselves have received we are on our way to a life of peace and contentment. If we expect a full redemption and pardon from our problems, sins and faults, we must desire to give all the same.

    There is no knowledge that has my value unless it reveals the love of God..within. Let’s not complicate things.
     

  4. ALL WHAT YOU SAID HAS GREAT MERIT AND ABSOLUTE VALUE BUT IF THE LOVE OF GOD IS LEADING YOUR EVERY ACT TOWARDS ALL THINGS.. NOTHING IS COMPLICATED…..ONLY THE EGO HAS A PROBLEM WITH PURE TRUTH AND REVELATION WISDOM..LOVE YOU SONNY..

    • Exactly, it is simple when we exist in the degree of the substance we are granted. The complication comes from putting substance into words. Though we should not desire to live by the letter, but by the spirit we never the less learn things from studying the letter. The disciples that followed Jesus had trouble with interpreting the law into grace. They struggled with the transition from law to grace as we all do and have done, yet as looking thorough a glass darkly as we also see what we are allowed to see…in degrees. We pray…God let us grow into full maturity and be thankful our faults and sins are forgiven as we walk toward your light…and thank you for putting it in our hearts to encourage others to do the same without condescending language and actions. Let grace abound where we do not look for fault, however when we do see it let us cover it and deal with it secretly and do not expose it before all…in that the grace and kindness we give instead heals instead of wounds…The intellectual (carnal mind) puts knowing before “being” for the intellect within us is proud of “what it knows” whereas “being” in the spirit is being content without drawing attention to oneself. However having said this, some of us are required to step out of our comfort zone where we had rather be left alone in quietness and solitude, and instead speak as we are led.
      Are we perfect in all we say and do, hardly, however let our intentions be intentions of grace. Love you too…much.

  5. Let us remember that we await a NEW reality – which comes from the Source of Truth (Altar) within us. We, who have sought for truth, are called to CREATE this new reality, in oneness with the will of God. Our spoken words have no power to reveal truth because we can not share the source from which our words come. Instead, belief in the kingdom must come through POWER – even the limitless power of EMERGENCE.

    Our minds hold our reality together based on our accepted truth, which comprise the laws we believe. If we can not perceive the source of what we believe, then our beliefs are based in darkness. This means the laws and subsequent reality created from them have no source. This is why we have often said this reality is an illusion.

    Darkness is a symbol of the absence of a source for our beliefs, because ONLY LIGHT HAS A SOURCE. Saying this another way, if the source of our belief is simply that we believe it, we will experience an illusionary reality not sourced in truth. Why, for example, do we believe we will grow ugly and die with age? It is only because the past teaches us that everyone ages and dies. Our belief in death and aging has no source but its own existence in the past.

    Darkness is the absence of source, for it is the absence of light. Our belief in illusion, no matter how real it appears, is upheld only by laws demonstrated through past experience. Any law we uphold simply by our belief in its past existence, HAS NO SOURCE IN TRUTH. The awakening mind comes to understand that any law without a source in truth does not actually exist and therefore has no real power.

    But, in the light of the sacred looking glass, created by the Altar of Truth, we recognize that God is the SOURCE of our extension, for we become his Self and our extension becomes his extension. The extension of our Self is the God act of Emergence. Our LIFE, which is the endless proliferation of Truth, extends from God’s light, its source shining from the open altar. If the Spirit has prepared our minds through the teaching of ONENESS, TIMELESSNESS and TRUTH, we are then able to understand how God creates reality through us by EMERGENCE.

    In the light of this understanding, the mind opens to accept a new reality of divine laws. The source of these laws are clearly understood and the old laws of darkness revealed to be without a source. The mind integrates these new laws into its belief system because their source is fully illuminated in Truth, and replaces previously held laws with no source but past learning, no matter how real they appeared. Past learning is no longer a deceiver, and the kingdom can no longer remain hidden in darkness. Emergence is a shining light that reveals a new reality sourced in Truth.

    What is our purpose? What is our calling? It is to awaken those who cannot or will not seek for DIVINE LOVE, which is the SOURCE of Truth. We are given the ability to KNOW truth’s source – which is a very high calling. And we are to use our ability to allow this truth to flow through us and be established in reality. Through emergence, the lower laws of this reality, including death, will be consumed by the higher laws of TRUTH. The perceived reality created by these new laws will awaken those who did not seek, and they will give glory to God as the source of this truth, which they will recognize as DIVINE LOVE.

    • “DECK THYSELF NOW WITH MAJESTY AND EXCELLENCY: AND ARRAY THYSELF WITH GLORY AND BEAUTY.” (Job 40:10) ….“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” (Ephesians 3:20)

  6. Amen. Giving is Receiving. And as we transition, by Grace (as you said), we practice seeing all in forgiveness until at last we are fully in the truth, leaving forgiveness behind because all now appears in the holiness by which is created.

  7. What is our purpose? What is our calling? It is to awaken those who cannot or will not seek for DIVINE LOVE, which is the SOURCE of Truth. We are given the ability to KNOW truth’s source – which is a very high calling. And we are to use our ability to allow this truth to flow through us and be established in reality. Through emergence, the lower laws of this reality, including death, will be consumed by the higher laws of TRUTH. The perceived reality created by these new laws will awaken those who did not seek, and they will give glory to God as the source of this truth, which they will recognize as DIVINE LOVE…..NEW JERUSALEM [or Zion —- the pure in heart!], WHICH COMETH DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN FROM MY GOD: AND I WILL WRITE UPON HIM MY NEW NAME.” (Revelation 3:12) (Emphasis added)
    To be a pillar in the temple of God will be the glorious assignment of being ordained and called to help uphold or hold-up the eternal, glorious radiance of eternal LIGHT AND TRUTH in all their breathtaking power. And on that individual will the Holy Name of God be forever established or written in the living, everlasting vibrations of his own earned power and glory.

  8. LET ME JUST SAY THIS PLZ……..IF YOU ARE STILL WAITING A TIME TO BE (RAPTURED) ITS NOT GOING TO EVER HAPPEN…I AM VERY SORRY…….ITS DEVIL DOCTRINE AND ONLY THOSE WHO BELIEVE THAT HAVE FAILED TO GO TO GOD FOR REVELATION TRUTH.THERE STILL TRUSTING THERE RELIGIOUS INTELLECT…

    • We will be “taken” up but not with the natural eye, but with the spirit..and the taking up will be in our hearts and minds…and it will not come by external observation but in the quietness of love for the other…so yes…we see.

      • THE RAPTURE IS THE VERY BIRTH OF CHRIST IN MAN..OR WOMAN…THE DIVINE METAMORPHOSIS OF THE DIVINE LOVE CREATION..I AM THAT I AM..

  9. The “rapture” happens in our heart.

  10. The book of Revelation is THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST. Revelation is a book that teaches who and what Jesus Christ is. It reveals Him in all of His glory, unveils Him in all of His fullness. You will find Jesus the Christ in every chapter of the book, for it is the revelation of Himself. When we read the message of the Revelation with a heart that seeks after Christ, we see in every page His face and hear from every line His voice. If we do not see Christ in the pages of the Revelation, then all we see is vanity. By drawing near to this book in the power of the Holy Spirit, we draw near to Christ. How beautiful that is! May the elect of God receive much grace to see more and more of Christ in the pages of this book….

  11. THERE IS NO RAPTURE! The church systems are literally filled today with carnal, earthly-minded Christians who sit back in ease and self-complacency and await a future rapture that will translate them out of the midst of earth’s Great Tribulation at the beginning of the Day of the Lord. To this generation of Lukewarm Laodiceans the Spirit speaks in certain tones of warning: “Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light” (Amos 5:18). In the vast majority of evangelical circles we are taught that at any moment Jesus will come and secretly, silently snatch away His elect to a heaven in the far-flung skies – to escape the Great Tribulation which shall soon visit the earth. It is not true. The saints shall be “caught up” all right; but it is not speaking of distance in terms of miles or light years, but to glorious reality in the Spirit. When Christ comes to lift our inner-man nature UP into the fullness of UNION IN HIM we certainly know the reality of being raised up and made to sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus. This is not a place in the sky, but a spiritual position of eminence, glory and authority…..AMEN

  12. . Men not unfrequently forget that they are dependent upon heaven for every blessing which they are permitted to enjoy, and that for every opportunity granted them they are to give an account. You know, brethren, that when the Master in the Savior’s parable of the stewards called his servants before him he gave them several talents to improve on while he should tarry abroad for a little season, and at the end of it He will call each to render an account; and where the five talents were bestowed, ten will be required; and he that has made no improvement will be cast out as an unprofitable servant, while the faithful will enjoy everlasting honors. Therefore we earnestly implore the grace of our Father to rest upon you, through Jesus Christ His Son, that you may not faint in the hour of temptation, nor be overcome in the time of persecution.”

    • This is untrue and should not be taught. Those who are unable or unwilling to seek for truth comprise the very reason for our calling to shine God’s light upon them. These are the ones who call out for help. None are EVER cast out – and all are forgiven in the the sight of our own forgiveness. We are all of one self – and what we judge in others is how we judge ourself.

      If you teach, share only the words given you by the Spirit and you will learn what you have been given to teach.

      • .YOUR TEACHING IS TOTALY INCOMPLETE AND FROM YOUR OWN REASONING LOGIC…NOT BASED ON THE HOLYGHOST OF JESUS CHRIST AT ALL. THOSE WHO ARE UNWILLING TO SEEK THE WILL OF GOD FOR THEMSELVES AND DESIRE THE PLEASURES OF THE WORLD. HAVE MADE THERE CHOICE AND THATS OKAY WITH GOD..YOU HAVE NO PURE UUNDERSTANDING OF THE GOSPEL THATS WHY YOU HAVE NO FRUIT..

      • The “amen” is to this…..

      • The reply sometimes tend to be out of sequence…when I said “amen” it was to “Thoughtware.

  13. EVERYWHERE I GO IN ANY PLACE PEOPLE ARE IN AWE OF MY LOVE NATURE.BECAUSE I HAVE FRUIT..

  14. TO GOD BE THE GLORY..

  15. The high calling vs. salvation

    We imagine to be made perfect in the likeness and image of our Father. The first fruits is the highest calling there is…it is not that we are to be made “better than” but only being completed first in an order. The first fruits are matured and made perfect first…as in the spring harvest called “Passover,” and then these bring the rest of creation into His likeness and character in the following harvest, Pentecost and
    Tabernacles. This happens both individually and corporately. We pray.. to have mercy as God has mercy, we pray to forgive as God forgives. We pray to be in all the likeness of our Father. What many fail to understand is that the highest calling of the first fruits in Christ Jesus require the severest of trials, tribulations, and test. When we pray , “Lord, make us compassionate as you are compassionate and love as you love in all points,” to learn and possess this substance, we will need to enter into all situations where we feel the needs and sufferings of others to learn from them.

    The higher calling of being in the first fruits require far more numerous trials, test and tribulations than other orders. “Much known, much required.) The “barley” harvest gathered in the first harvest in the spring was planted in the precious fall, before winter. This “seed” unlike the other seed planted in the warmer climate, endured the harshness and the bitter cold of winter, thus being a hardier and more “nutritious” grain than the other, fair weather plants. The first fruits of the barley harvest were waved before the Lord thus signifying it was time to gather in the rest of the harvest. This is because the “first fruits” have to experience what another goes through to truly have the patience to hang in there with others…to the end…of their carnal selves just as God suffers us, to forgive us without fail until we will have become as He is.

    We ask to be perfected but we cannot walk in peace and love until we have overcame this old man of sin within, that carnal nature which is very subtle in, trying to convince others by words of intellect that external knowledge is equal to the inward substance of God.

    How can we touch all with compassion, mercy and grace unless we have been in their shoes? Sympathy is not empathy for one is by experience. It is written that Christ suffered in all points as we do. All? This means He was in every predicament any other can be subjected to…..so when we pray to be and to understand as our Father and His Son does, we must understand that to be able to succor all in whatever predicament one may be found in, we must have had a taste of the same situation to know and to understand how to… succor and comfort them by experience. This life is a learning experience. When we have felt the pain of others ourselves and tasted of the cares of this carnal life by being subjected to the ways and ills of this carnal mind within us, we are then of our most use, help and value to our Father.

    It says, “To think it not strange when all these things come upon us,” for the events and experience of suffering is necessary for one to understand and lead others in the overcoming process. Knowledge is not enough. Many will not attain to this higher calling in Christ Jesus because the testing can be very difficult. Paul understood this all so well for he said that after he himself taught others to accomplish the high calling in Christ, that he himself could very well fail to achieve it himself. He was saying it is not in the knowing of the thing but in the accomplishment of the thing. Let me interject here that when Christ and the disciples taught that one may lose their way and fall short of obtaining the high calling in Christ Jesus, it was not talking about losing one’s eternal “salvation,” given before the world was, it was simply talking about losing out on one failing to obtain the “100 fold” calling. If one could separate these two different understandings it would clear up the false idea of failure being in God’s vocabulary. Salvation unto eternal life was given to all in the instant we were all created before the world was.

    Failing to make the high calling in Christ Jesus has nothing to do with losing one’s salvation. We must understand the context of what we are reading in order to distinguish the two different subjects. Again, we can lose the high calling, we cannot lose life eternal. The entire bible is a book of progressive successes when read with the love and spirit of God. What will be done away with and what will be destroyed is only the carnal mind, as the spirit of God will remain intact and go on into eternity. God cannot destroy Himself, however the illusion of loss will dissipate as we awake from our sleep. We will dream a dream of failure for a time, however this false perceived failure of losing eternal life has a purpose in teaching us to “voluntarily” obey the will of God.

    The only difference in the likeness of the high calling and those who come after is only a matter of who is called first…and then whom teaches whom to “come on up hither.” The one’s who make the high calling in Christ Jesus and the one’s who are taught by them all eventually end up in the same likeness and character of God. Then when “all” have been made complete in the Father’s likeness, the ones of the high calling will say and do just as Christ, then turning the authority and all rule back to the Father. When we all stand as one before God and are complete, the authority we had to bring all to completeness will no longer be needed…for all will then be just as complete as all the others.

    So there should never be a feeling of self greatness or who will sit on the right and left hand of the Father as the mother had asked of this vein greatness for her sons. This was asked in innocent ignorance in thinking as man thinks..of having position and authority over others. These thoughts of grandeur and pride being mistaken for righteousness is just the carnal ego in man wanting to stand out over others, such as wanting and receiving special treatment when we enter the presence of others…instead of being content to be seen as equal. Whether we are the teachers or the ones being taught, we will all end up in the same likeness as any another…in our own order. We must give up these thoughts of wanting to be “greater than,” desiring to be admired, and instead understand what being “one” with “all” others really means. Many cannot distinguish the difference in having a carnal pride amongst the brethren by erroneously thinking that “accepting ” admiration and adulation is a form of Godliness, when it is carnal and vein, a sin.

    The subtleness of the carnal mind accepts from others what is not theirs to accept…and pride comes before a fall. It’s really not hard to see the difference, for when one gloats on wanting to be praised by others (for “their” righteousness), rather than teaching what it is to be loving and humble to all equally. Self righteousness is gloating and even the emotion that one may pass off as love is nothing more than actions and words given in flattery to receive of the same. Again, this is the subtlety of the carnal..”religious” mind of man. When people take these kind of thoughts and mix them with the names of Christ and God, the ones being taught are taken in the snare of pomp, pride, and sin, and neither the one speaking nor the one hearing knows they have just believed a lie…and they both fall into the pit (ditch) of which they must be taught again how to think, believe and behave to climb out of this bottomless pit. Carnality is the bottomless pit of which there is no foundation as in Christ…and narrow is the way that few find into the high calling in Christ Jesus.

    We should never look at another as being less or more…than ourselves…regardless of one’s “present” circumstances. There is much to be learned in the saying “As you have done to the least of these you have done unto me.” This is because the least of these will come to the “day” when there will no longer be any that is less than any another “in substance.” Rewards are not the same as spiritual substance, rewards are as result of becoming obedient to His one will and investing our talents wisely. Let us leave this by saying again, there is a major difference in failing to achieve the high calling in Christ Jesus and of one losing one’s salvation. One can fail to achieve the high calling, however no one can lose the gift of eternal life that was granted to them billions of years ago…before the world was. Failure is not a part of God’s will, thoughts or actions. All He does, He does to complete His plan, as He foreordained. No one has the ability to change His love for “all.”

    Peace to all.

  16. I HAVE SAID WHAT I NEEDED TO SAY ON THIS WEBSITE …FAITH WITHOUT WORKS…MEANING IF ALL OF YOUR GETTING YOU HAVE NOT THE LOVE OF GOD ..EVERYTHING YOU SAY ITS JUST POINTLESS OR POWERLESS …NO FRUIT..NO LIGHT.. ITS THAT SIMPLE… JUST FOREVER WORDS FLOWING HITHER AND YON…GOD BLESS YOU ALL WITH ALL OF MY DIVINE LOVE..AMEN..

    • Love is the only works that matter. One’s who are very judgmental have not the love of God in their heart as they claim…the ones who are continuously at variance with others and are always looking for fault are the ones who need to step back and ask themselves…

  17. Love is not a competition.

  18. “What is Love.”

    • THE GIFT OF LOVE OF THE HEART OF GOD IS THE FRUIT OF TREE OF GOOD AND EVIL.ITS BEYOND WORDS WHEN ITS REAL AND BEING ACTIVATED ..ITS THE PURE LIGHT OF ALL HEALING TO EVERY SOUL THAT IS IN TUNE WITH ITS CALLING OF SOUL AWAKENING MY DEAR ..AND IF YOU HAVE IT THE WORLDS FEELS AND SEES IT IN YOU AMEN..

      • Love is the essence of life and that which governs truth. Love is the Most High – and that of which we are made. Love is not bound by form – but the creative act of the Father, by which his every expression experiences Joy. Love is one because its source is one, God. We are one with love because we are all love’s living gates – by which it flows through our own special and unique expression. We are the blessed creators of divine harmony by the love that flows through us.

  19. Thoughtware, I agree, there is nothing that God’s love does not cover…for He created nothing that is not forgiven..nothing

    • When we begin our journey we have an idea of what love means, even as the highest ideal. But for those who sought to KNOW this love personally and desired to EXPRESS it, these undertook to begin a journey back home, not knowing where they were going. These are those of the higher calling, who after a very arduous journey, full of struggle and requiring much persistence, awakened to discover Love’s source. They awaken in that inner holy place and encounter Love “face to face”, as they gaze into their own reflection.

      The awakening is happening – and you KNOW it because the Spirit witnesses to your Truth. It is a time of revelation and prophecy, and those who are awake will hear. And as we begin to walk BY the Spirit (possible for the first time), our true nature will be revealed – and our words will be heeded by all. Until then, we keep listening and sharing what we have been given to share. And when we share our words with others, through the light of the love we have awakened into, we discover WE are blessed most of all by the words we’ve shared.

  20. LIKE IVE BEEN SAYING GET THE FRUIT PLZ ..

  21. We can’t rush God. Have patience, God will complete His plan in His time table. There is much to be completed, much to be learned. The path is full of people who are at the beginning of their journey to those nearing their completion. It is not for us to judge unrighteously but to encourage all to continue in pursuing that which is from above.

  22. Love was existent before the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and love was and is the tree of life, which is Christ and therefore His likeness. All that Christ is, is depicted in the tree of life. The tree of knowledge is the intellect and knowledge of the carnal mind which tries to climb up some other way other than through the likeness and love of God.

    Love does not compete nor does the lack of maturity found in others provoke love to respond unkindly. Why should the lack in others or the perception of lack be upsetting to one of maturity? All people must grow from immaturity to maturity and this is a work in progress administered by God to all at His direction and according to His pace. The immature carnal mind thinks righteousness is in disagreeing with the workmanship and pace of God in the processing of another. Patience is the act of waiting on the promise to be fulfilled in us. None of us are perfect while our process of redemption is going on in us
    so there is plenty of imperfection to observe, however to be argumentative is not nor should not be our objective.

    We continually witness others taking “their” knowledge and trying to force it on others and when it is not agreed with they become insulted instead of practicing constraint and having a respect for the understanding of others. We have seen this very disruptive mind set by various ones who also have came along on this blog. These did not follow the instructions as the scriptures teach, to let each one by one share what they understand and let the first hold their peace. When all have spoken your probably not going to have complete agreement in the beliefs each have expanded on. However, love is not in having one’s own ideas or the “people” they want to follow accepted by others. People show their true fruit and colors in the way they interact with those who differ in knowledge. There are millions of books that have been written by well intentioned people and as good as many of them may be, I’m sure there is error to be found in all of them. However it is not in the correctness of knowledge that love is found for love exist in us all in spite of our differences. Love does not only exist in one denomination because it may have some good instructions lacking in others nor because it may have been founded by a person we agree with.

    Whether a denomination is right or wrong or the person who established it lacks in maturity does not annul the love of God for any person in that denomination or the person or persons in error that defend it. Love is found in the hearts and minds of all of God’s children in some capacity until we each are grown to our full capacity to love. Each of us will shed the influences of the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the order of God’s calling each one of us to come forth and to be cleansed of our carnal mind.

    Grace allows the love of God to come to its fullness within us in-spite of our existing and present sin. There is a continual forgiveness blanketed in love and covers our sin as we are matured to the full stature God’s likeness. God does not mention our sin nor remember them as He takes them from us. So why do we think we have the right to do what even God does not do in our continuous effort to be God’s non appointed watch dog? Good fruit comes from only one of the trees in the garden within us and it’s not of the tree which is the accuser of others. There is a “way” to relate our views to others and there is a way not to…it all depends of which tree we choose our fruit from.

  23. EXCUSE ME YOUR LOVE IS NOT OF FULLY OF GOD AND ITS IN LOLLYPOP LAND ……ALL THE WORDS ARE TRUE AND TO THE POINT BUT LOVE IS ALSO VERY POWERFUL IN REBUKE TRUST ME …..I WILL SAY THIS AGAIN GET SOME FRUIT…………………………..

  24. It is my observation is that the ones who are always telling others what to do or believe are the ones who lack proper spiritual nutrition. There are two trees with two apparently different fruits. The tree of knowledge is a tree of critically judging others, condemning, being divisive, “knowing better than,” etc., etc.,…self righteousness. The fruit of the tree of life is more tolerant, patient and kind, doth not take offense easily, is not easily provoked when others disagree. The fruit of these two trees are choices we make in our daily diet. The choice of words we use and the way we present them reveal of what tree we eat of. We all need to watch our diet…some more than others. I think for myself…I know the difference and I am continually asking God to improve my diet where I no longer will eat of a mixed diet of the tree of good and evil.

  25. THE DEVILS KNOW ALL THE WORDS OF SCRIPTURE AND CAN SPEAK VERY ELOQUENT BUT THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO FRUIT…. I AM NOT IMPRESSED AND I KNOW YOU DONT HAVE WHAT I HAVE EARNED IN CHRIST JESUS….HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY AND I DO LOVE YOU AND THATS REAL .

    • Teresa, with all due respect, your choice of words reveal your true fruit, you are not what you claim to be. The things you so vehemently attacked Mishai for doing, you are doing the same. Childish and immature name calling is not good fruit. You seem to try to mask over your ill disposition it it comes through. Have a little more respect.”plz”

  26. Matthew 7:3 ‘And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, and the beam that is in thine own eye dost not consider?

  27. The scriptures also teach us it is sin to compare ourselves with others. I hope you will acquire all that God has to offer in Christ Jesus and if He matures you well before me…I make no judgment, complaint or comparison to it. In fact it matters not to me if I am the last one to be cleansed…if this is God’s will. This is not a contest of who is better or who is to come before others. This type of thinking is not of Christ nor does it show any real fruit. We each stand or fall before God, not to the other, I rest my case before God, not to another of which it does not belong.

  28. THIS IS THE VERY LAST TIME I WILL SPEAK ON THIS WEBSITE…IF ANYONE OF YOU DONT SEE THE MARVELOUS LIGHT OF THE WORD OF GOD IN ANNALEE SKARIN BOOKS, NON OF YOU KNOW JESUS CHRIST OR HAVE TRUE SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING ..NOT ONE..GOD BLESS YOU ALL AMEN..

  29. We who have understanding follow Christ, not another disciple, apostle or prophet. Paul, an apostle taught of how wrong it was to even follow himself..or Apollos…or any other man. We can respect and love the contributions of others as we should but no matter how much truth another has, or how perfected they may be… our truth must come directly from God and we must walk our own walk. We may have very good friends that are closer to maturity than we ourselves are but they can not walk for us…We follow Christ.

  30. Emotional zeal and exuberance is often mistaken for love. Love is not genuine nor is it matured when one expects another to agree with them about one’s own views. This is simply because true love does not place conditions nor boundaries on others to see as they see, do as they do or follow who they follow in order for the full force of love to have its effect. As God looks upon His creation, He sees the end of us all, each as He calls us to be completed. He is patient and is kind as He does not impute our sins against us while His marvelous grace does it’s work to bring us to completion in His likeness and character. Are we not asked to come to this same mind, same grace, and same forgiveness…not imputing the offenses that others so easily place on us, self righteously and indignantly? We are asked to forgive such childish behavior so we do….or…we work toward this end…as the strength to do so is granted to us.

    For there to be a oneness by taking on the mind of Christ, we cannot make up our own rules or let our desire to be “number one” amongst our peers govern our emotions. Love does not demand for others to conform to one’s own beliefs for love to have its full effect. If a person has a true love (fruit) for others they look far beyond the present circumstances and beliefs of another. Again, we are to come to the presence of mind to view others from God’s perspective. God knows that when His work is finished in “all” of us, there will be nothing left of the old carnal, selfish, self admiring ego of flesh..that some call love.

    Oneness is not walking into a room where one expects to be put on a pedestal for their flattering and great swelling words of self adulation. This is the ego of man, simply put , and admiration seeking people are caught in their own trap . Oneness is in being content to sit with the “least of these” on the back row for they understand if all are one, all rows are the same. Self flattery, the desire to be recognized over others in a meeting, a church, house or on a blog such as this brings much angst and tension in the “room.” We should never desire to be recognized above others here or anywhere else, for knowledge nor even for love..for love takes care of itself, it’s needs no approval or proof from the lesser carnal minded ego. It’s not that hard to recognize the difference, for the ego (devil in man) is easily offended when others do not bow to its will.

    Those whose desire it is, to be no higher than his brother is in Christ….and “sees” all as one…in spirit.
    God will bring us all to His likeness and character at the time of His choosing….in His patience to do so. Our ego is “not” the mind of God.

  31. God’s Love… never gives up on anyone, let this same mind become our mind.
