A Free Mind is a Hopeful Reality

A Free Mind is a Hopeful Reality

space

This weekend I looked behind me, and it was a vast nothingness; the past wasn’t there.

This is a welcomed awareness. It was a vision that granted me a deeper understanding sending me into greater levels of enlightenment thus freedom.

Except for our memories, the past doesn’t exist. However, most of us act like it’s a living reality, thus make it one. We live by it, and from it create our present and future. Sometimes we try to hold onto it and live as a 20-year-old chasing what once was and thus are never satisfied with today. Other times, we live by its wounds, which taint our current health, relationships, jobs, etc. For example, we were hurt in a previous relationship in which someone betrayed us, and now we don’t or find it hard to trust others. We failed in a business venture, and now we don’t follow our desires but work in a job we don’t like. A parent called us a loser, and now we overeat to drown out that resounding voice echoing in our head. These are examples of living in and by the past, thus it creates our present moments and future. This projection of the past into the future is often at the core of those who struggle with depression, hopeless, and feeling trapped. This mentality can quench our hope because it prohibits our minds from growing and creating a present and future we do desire.

The fulfillment of hope, thus change, comes from allowing ourselves to learn from the past, but not live in the past. In learning from it yet not in it, our hope starts to become fulfilled, because we are open to learning and growing, which brings the fulfillment of the things hoped for. A learning and growing mind, a present mind, is receptive to new opportunities and better ways of being because it’s learning new ways of thinking. It enables alteration within our mind’s process thus real change in our choices, actions and behaviors.

What has this to do with our relationship with God? Everything.

The Spirit of God is in the present, for that is what exists and is real. As our internal teacher and counselor, He speaks to us right now with the purpose of transitioning our minds to operate by His truth and loving kindness. 1 Timothy 1:5 If our minds are bound to the past by functioning in and by mindsets like blame, bitterness, resentment, vengeance, covetousness, maliciousness, hatred, backbiting, unforgiveness, jealousy, self-pity, and so on we won’t hear His voice instructing us in a better way. When we give these mindsets control of our thoughts, they are loud and consuming. The thoughts God establishes in us are opposite of these, thus we have to be willing to turn away from these mindsets and learn to think in accordance to His wisdom, truth, righteousness and loving kindness. This is part of renewing our mind and a significant part of the repentance we’re called to. Romans 1:28-32, Romans 12:2

When we seek and follow His instruction, our minds transition to a present mindset where God guides us in new directions. He, and not our interpretation of the past, establishes our thoughts, thus our minds create fresh perspectives that translate into new actions, thus changes, and hopes fulfilled.

A part of moving out of our past and into the present is viewing our past with thanksgiving and honor. The upsets of the past can teach us important lessons of wisdom, truth and love that if we learn we won’t repeat the past hurts. All we went through and the people who were involved in those lessons teach us compassion and understanding. Once we learn from our situations, we are able to help others because we’ve learned the truth and practice the truth. Our past is cloaked with thanksgiving and honor when we see all the experiences and people they contained as part of our journey of growing in alignment with the divine wisdom of God. In this, the past, thus the present, translates into blessings instead of continual cursings because we’ve learned, grown, and can now help others. Some of our greatest hurts can teach us life-altering lessons that propel us forward to gaining a mind established on truth.

I’ve tasted a lot of different pains in my past. Once I started to seek after the truth, God has been using them to teach me and bring me to a deeper level of understanding and compassion I wouldn’t have had otherwise. It is truly God working all for good for those who love Him. Romans 8:28

This understanding of learning from our past but not living by it is deep and personal. We each have a myriad of experiences from our past, and if we allow the Spirit of Truth to teach us, we will learn from those experiences, grow, and begin to live in the present out by the wisdom they provided. This understanding sets our mind free, thus frees us.

Time of Revealing and Testing

Time of Revealing and Testing

space

Okay … why so much talk about loving the animals?

If you’ve been following my blog and videos, perhaps you are wondering … why am I talking so much about showing loving kindness to the animal kingdom? Some have wondered what this loving kindness toward them has to do with God and the times we are in, ironic isn’t it?

It has everything to do with the establishment of His kingdom in righteousness, truth and loving kindness.

The spirit of God that brings in and governs His kingdom within us arises like the dawning of a new day. If you are awake, of the Day, you are starting to see the glory of His presence, the expression of divine love. In the light of this perfect love, it’s illuminating what is of His spirit and what isn’t, the revealing, in order to cleanse us, to be His dwelling place. You also are seeing that this world’s ways are consumed in a very thick cloud of darkness that isn’t familiar to this love or a part of it. When the light of truth/love enters into our realm, all the hidden works contrary to God are revealed. It uncovers all the ways of this world and of our lives that are full of corruption. This is why I am talking about this love for the animal kingdom; it’s a very bright reflection I’m seeing in His light.

In revealing what is good, pure, love and of Him and what isn’t, it tests our “works” thus hearts. As God’s spirit encounters our lives and the many facets of it, it is embraced or rejected. It’s embraced if we know Him; it’s rejected if we don’t. And to know Him is to know His love.

1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

How is it embraced or rejected? If we give or don’t give this divine love to others, from the least to the greatest. For, to love others is to love God. And, what we do to the least, we do to Him.

Extending divine love to all of creation for creation is our “work”. Why is it our work? Because all of us have been raised in a culture lacking this godly characteristic. Most types of love, including familial love where we learn about love, are largely contrived of self-preservation, obligation, pride, self-ambition, and to make us feel good about ourselves and to look good to others. It’s for approval, praise, lust, or to please others, which is really self-gratification. It’s a love that at its core is most concerned for itself and most motives are for one’s own advancement or benefit. This is where we all start, thus we must seek to know God’s love and truth. And only His spirit of truth can teach us for it is an inner work of the heart, mind, soul and spirit.

The ability to give divine affection is a reflection of one’s spiritual maturity as it mirrors one’s understanding of the divine nature of God and their connectedness to Him. 1 Timothy 1:5

Divine love is absolutely pure and perfect. Its only motive is to treat others from the least to the greatest perfectly. It delights in caring for others for their sake. It loves beyond itself. It cares for the suffering of others even if it’s not seemingly directly impacted. It desires every thought, word, and act to affect others in a way that is the very best for them. It loves at all times, in all situations, to all creation. It sees every living creation in loving kindness. Luke 10:25-37

So why animals? There are many reasons as I’ve spoken and written about, but here’s another. They are the least of creation, by mankind’s definition, and they are innocent. A love for the innocent and weak is the starting point of divine love ending with loving our enemies. If we don’t care for them and their suffering at our own hands, how can we love even our enemies? It’s all inclusive. We can’t truly love others and not love the animal kingdom as well. Divine love knows no boundaries. It extends to all because all belongs to God and God will fill all in all. 1 Corinthians 15:28

We are born of God when we give this divine love. This understanding is highlighted in the book of 1 John, which I read today and prompted this post. To say that we are a part of God and love Him, and yet hate others, we are fooling ourselves. To inflict harm, fear and suffering upon others is a part of hatred. To believe we can act this way and be apart of God’s perfect love is a delusion, and a very strong delusion capturing many souls.

Do we walk in loving kindness fulfilling the commands of God or do we delight in our lusts instead? How we treat others reveals our hearts and whether we know divine love or not; it is the spirit of truth testing our hearts. It is God’s love and wisdom approaching our hearts and our response is how we answered. Luke 12:45-46

When divine love defines our actions, we are a part of God. It means His seed is within us and growing. 1 John 3:9 It’s demonstrating that we have a self-perfecting mind being crafted by the spirit of God and are moving into eternal life where His righteousness and perfect love reign. We may lack awareness, but we are no longer contrary to God in our conscience, heart, desires, and motives. The spirit of God will teach us through our mistakes causing our love to increase and abound. May we humble ourselves and realize that we’ve been brought up in a world very contrary to the love of God and need to have a mind of a novice and start to learn to love.

And I can’t help but wonder if this is the beginning of the end when all is starting to be revealed and tested to bring in a new reign of righteousness upon this earth. Revelation 3:10, 1 Corinthians 3:13-15 I pray so, the suffering is so very great.

Come Up Here: A Self-Perfecting Mind

Come Up Here: A Self-Perfecting Mind

Space

The earth is knocking on the doors of a universal shift. This shift takes us from one age into the next by the awakening of the human mind to a higher level of consciousness or awareness. Awareness is understanding. The awareness is heightened as souls are drawn into the vortex of the Creator’s loving presence. This “drawing in” is a choice for each soul, which arouses from a living faith. Faith is choosing to act on particular beliefs because we trust they will lead to our desires, which when in truth is living. A choice based on our understanding not our current state (sight).

Awakening to this higher frequency of thought means our perceptions are dramatically altered. We begin to see through the spirits of God. (Rev 4:5)

We are not bystanders in this cosmic event. Instead, we affect the timing of our transforming mind by choosing to posses a self-perfecting mind. It’s a mind that prepares and brings us gracefully into the next age. Our mind is a myriad of interworking networks and frameworks determining how we perceive the world and respond, like a collage of algorithms. All our behaviors follow a set of processes and systems determined by how our thoughts are networked together. Our current functions are marred and dysfunctional, thus the need for a renewal. Much like an algorithm that doesn’t produce the right results, our current consciousness doesn’t produce the right results. Therefore, we must choose to have a mind of self-perfecting algorithms. This simply means we choose to grow in goodness, in doing the “right” thing, and in emanating loving kindness to all creation. We choose to love at all times in all situations. If this is our path, our Creator, who has the capability to re-wire our mind, will individually lead us in this endeavor by teaching us through our mistakes thus ever expanding our understanding and awareness, thus self-perfecting.

This governing desire over all our actions opens up our mind to increase in understanding and expand into an abundant reality, for this is the result of acting in truth/love. It’s a mind that allows God’s power to manifest within it because we seek to align to His perfect spirit. Seeking creates upward movement in our thoughts and pulls us out of pre-defined “boxes” of thinking that blind us to a downward path instead of upward. Boxes formed by tradition, religion, culture, societal ways, and convenience. A mind fixed upon seeking truth/love leads the soul out of the “boxes” that keep it from ascending.

In this transforming mind, new perceptions feed new choices that feed further new perceptions. It’s a winding staircase upward.

In the awakening mind, one of the first perceptions to change is how we perceive all living creatures. We start to see them from a perception crafted by a Creator who designed them in perfection. Thus, creations to be loved.

In this understanding, we choose to love them at all times. Souls choose love when they have the faith that if they act in loving ways it will produce good results as well as the fulfillment of their desires.

A fundamental characteristic of love is that is voluntary for the giver and receiver. It isn’t forced upon either, but something that must be willingly given and received. The nature of this tender affection is that it’s gentle, meek, and patient, and in its fullness there is nothing more powerful. (The power comes from Truth, which it is tightly intertwined with. Truth consists of the spiritual laws that create a harmonious interacting reality.) This is why “come up here” is an appropriate description, for we must choose to ascend to this new level of comprehension, for to love is a choice.

This call to “come up here” has been heavy on my soul; to let go of the world systems sown by mindsets counter to love and to arise to a superior level of human existence and experience. This ascension comes by a deeper and more full-body understanding of the characteristics of a reality derived from truth and love. Basically, it’s an increased desire to abide in loving kindness toward all of creation all the time because you see the superiority of it in every way. To abide in love is to abide in the loving Creator’s wisdom. Again a choice is made to traverse a path of this infinite wisdom and leave the limited and self-serving imaginations of mankind behind.

Consider all the ways you act, decide, chose, and respond to life’s situations. Now consider choosing to do all these in a way that is most caring for all involved.  How would that change your choices, reactions, words, and persona?

Because our loving all-knowing Creator creates love and truth as an inseparable unit, the kindness we give is established on understanding. We elect to respond a certain way because we’ve learned it is truly good. As we learn to respond in loving-kindness from our mistakes, our understanding of how to be kind and caring in all sincerity increases. This is possessing a self-perfecting mind, a mind that learns and grows from its mistakes guided by the inner counsel of the Spirit of Truth.

If we seek to abide in increasing love and truth, God will guide us faithfully. To encounter God, who is spirit, is to encounter an intimate instructor in your thoughts, penetrating to your most hidden thoughts, on how to be a creation that gives and receives divine love.

The desire to love rightly to all, in all situations, and all the time propels a mind into a self-perfecting mind. Below are three interwoven fundamentals to the algorithms of an ascending mind:

  1. You choose to do what is kind and caring to all creation at all times in all situations. You aren’t bound by tradition, habits, and convenience. The question always lingers; how would you want to be treated?
  2. You “see” every living creation as significant. You lift none above the other. You honor all equally. There is no self-exalting (pride, arrogance, haughtiness) over another based on gender, race, income, culture, family, heritage, status, vocation, appearance, type of creation (animal, etc), religion, etc. You honor all. Especially the weak the meek who need it most of all.
  3. You love beyond yourself.  An inferior love cares for only what it is affected by, but divine love cares for all, whether one is deemed personally affected or not by that entity. True understanding is realizing we are all effected by what is done to any part of creation. We are all connected. Thus we never treat another poorly even though we “think” we aren’t directly affected.

Love is a choice. For those who make this choice and learn of divine love, they are awakening in their understanding to new realities far superior in every way.

Numbering Our Days

Numbering Our Days

Seeking after the Heart of God

 

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. 

Psalm 90:12

During our lifespan on earth, a segment of our eternity, we each have a very significant purpose, but the question is do we fully understand what that purpose is? Or how to achieve it?

Everything we sow of the physical reality of life perishes, but what we sow of the spiritual reality moves with us into eternity AND it is what moves us into eternity. There is no greater purpose than to seek after the eternal in the fabric of our lives, which when all characteristics and ways are combined can be articulated in one word, God, the eternal Father/Maker of us all. Proverbs 23:17-21

It’s our highest purpose to seek to bear the image of the heavenly man crafted by the hand of God, verses the image of the man of dust crafted by our own hand.  1 Corinthians 15:4

God is love. His presence is veiled from this earth because the vessels to hold His spirit have yet to be cleansed, purified and prepared to hold a holy, pure and loving spirit, though Christ came to bring us behind the veil. His home in this world is in us. Thus, we must be made ready to contain such a spirit. The minds and ways of many souls are contrary to His righteousness care, some unknowingly and some willingly, therefore unable to unite to Him.

The worlds’ web of lies has blinded us to what true loving kindness is and its supremacy in the nature of God. It has corrupted our vessels by corrupting our minds so we don’t know or recognize this love. This is why we must seek for it. To find love or any attribute of God, we have to become a part of it – that is the only way we know it. This is how it is with spiritual realities. The knowing is in the becoming. Otherwise they remain hidden and we exist outside of them in darkness and coldness.

If we choose to seek to learn and grow by spiritual understanding and by the attainment of divine characteristics, then we begin our journey to be joined to Him. If we remain in our contrary ways, we remain distant from Him, thus from love itself. Understanding our role as a loving caretaker of the animal kingdom is an essential key to unlocking the love of God in our lives, because it is how He is with us. Because we affect the animals daily with our choices and actions, our care for them begins a daily ripple effect of the love of God in our reality. This truth is key to becoming love. When we begin to possess the spirit of the Eternal, we live in love. Our ability to love in righteousness is a testimony of our connection to God, thus eternity. So how we spend our limited time on earth is very significant.

Time is constant, unchanging, beyond our control, and simply is as long as the earth spins as it does. Our belief in time doesn’t make it exist or not. Time is a reflection of the sovereignty of God, for He created time.

If we put our time in His hands we do well, if we try to control and manipulate it ourselves, we cause much harm.

As the foundations of the earth shift with the incoming righteous reign, our perception of time will change. In trying to control time, we haven’t trusted the Creator, and as a result we have created destruction and made this earth desolate. As wickedness loses its prosperity, we won’t be able to control our future like we have done in our self-will and this will turn many lives upside down. Right now the present moment is fleeting as most dwell in the past or the future.  But, God abides in the present and when we fully trust Him so do we.

The past no longer exists and the future grows out of the present. However, most try to re-live the past and try to control their future. The two main reasons for this are fear and lust, both of which I’m finding are the undercurrent to most our actions and choices, however small or large those fears and lusts may be. In trying to protect ourselves from harm, a mindset driven by fear, we propagate the very harm we don’t desire as we try to create a future without fear. In this, we cease to love. In trying to fulfill our desires, through lusts and not kindness, we cease to love.

To change the future to something desirable, we must change what we are doing in the present. But, to change the present without the wisdom of eternity of God who knows every ripple effect to every action is to create a future that hurts and harms instead of loves.

A key to coming to know God is seeking to stop manipulating time; specifically the past and the future, which we do in many ways, and seek to know Him in our present moment and learn to abide there. Further, we come to know the heart of God, who is love, when we are set on seeking and abiding in His perfect love for all of His creation today, in our present moment.

1 Corinthians 16:14 Let all that you do be done with love.

To seek God is to seek what it means to truly abide in loving kindness in all areas of our life. Without this perspective, we’ll never find the heart of God but empty realities that leave us alone, afflicted and broken. If we seek Him with all our heart, soul and mind, loving kindness is where He leads us. Until we set our hearts on knowing true kindness and acting according to its ways and not our fears and lusts, we’ll know endless repeating days in the shadow of death. May we not forget our first love, love itself, for God is love. Jesus came to remind us that love is supreme.

Let love be the qualifier for all you do. May our purpose be to seek God who is the unity of truth and love and live in Him in today.

Proverbs 23:12 Apply your heart to instruction, And your ears to words of knowledge. 

Proverbs 23:23 Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also wisdom and instruction and understanding. 

Proverbs 24:14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul; If you have found it, there is a prospect, And your hope will not be cut off.

Awakening of Mankind

Awakening of Mankind:

From Dust Graves of Lust

space

The world’s reality (beast system) is the mass consciousness which is full of all the ways of mankind verses the ways of God. How they think, what they do, and how they do it. I no longer want to be sitting next to this world of torment in any way, as my heart bleeds more intently for the evils done here. It hurts too much. This world’s wickedness is so pervasive it is difficult to fully escape; this is why we need to be redeemed by One greater than ourselves.

So my heart and mind ask, how much longer Father until You create one harmonious reality sown in beauty, love, truth and wisdom from above?

Love Grown Cold

Matthew 24:12-13 “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. “But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

The extent of hardness of people’s hearts and the coldness of their “love” have been made clear by their overall responses to the animal cruelty ubiquitous to our industrial world. Few seem to care. They would rather eat their cheap chicken sandwich and buy their leather shoes. This is a very cold love as many who engage this animal cruelty believe themselves to be loving. It’s a cold love indeed. What would the animals say about this kind of “love”?

These innocent animals are at our mercy or lack of it. But if we can’t love those who are innocent, how can we really love at all? How can we profess we know the love of God and not love His creation? How twisted and wicked this generation has become. It’s the greatest brainwashing phenomenon that I’ve ever seen, now that I’ve been awakening out of it. People think they have of the love of God and yet daily sacrifice innocent animals to serve and worship the beast system of lust. It is a lust that blinds your mind to true love.

“Little Lusts”

The “great” evils that people do recognize start and end with the “little” acts and choices we make each day. It’s all one huge system and continuum. Our “small” (which aren’t small at all) acts and choices feed the beast system of lusts, or they feed the loving spirit of the kingdom of Christ. Our small actions and choices create the ripple effects extending to the “great” evils people do recognize. Yet, it is in these blind acts of cruelty where the strongest delusions reside, and keep all of creation in bondage and suffering.

As people continue to choose lust over love, specifically to choose to let animals suffer because they lust for their flesh, this daily perpetuating craving keeps the lust spirit alive and strong in their lives and in this world in many ways.  This feasting on beasts is a foundational stone to the kingdom of darkness. Thus by feeding themselves through this cruelty they are keeping themselves bound to their lusts and their fears. The flip side to this lust spirit is fear. When we stop feeding and feeding upon cruelty in our lives what we discover is healing and love on many levels.

How much longer will this very strong delusion continue in that people profess to know God’s love when they can’t even love the innocent and suffering animals put under our care? The love of God is real. It changes you. It changes your choices, decisions, and actions to such an extent that you become an alien to the world systems. This supernatural blindness in which people can’t seem to see the cruelty they create is destroying us all because there is no true repentance.

Hope of Deliverance

Matthew 24:22 “And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

No flesh would be saved unless God intervened with correction upon harden hearts; hearts unwilling to have their reality crafted by His loving-kindness, because they prefer their lusts instead. They don’t see their lusts as “significant” in creating harm, thus no repentance. Creation, the victim of our wicked minds, has no way out of this hell we’ve made, because mankind’s blindness has made those weaker than themselves insignificant. The physical creation, flesh, has no way of being saved because of hard hearts unless an entity far more powerful than mankind intervenes in the flesh, and this leaves our heavenly Father.

But, there is hope found in the longed awaited “awakening” of mankind at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Thank goodness that it is His hand who saves, or we would all be bound in endless torments, for as we feed torments we bound ourselves in chains of oppression.

Under wickedness’ reign, this supernatural blindness has prevailed and bound us to this eternal hell on earth. But as God arouses from His holy habitation and raises His Hand of Righteous Reign He will supernaturally enlighten every dark corner. The trumpets and bowls of Revelation reflect the spirit of righteousness moving into creation. It will turn this world upside down, by turning people inside out.

Zechariah 4:7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

Deliverance comes through repentance. This is God’s way. The trumpets and bowls are crafted to bring in a huge wave of repentance, as all is exposed and seen for what it truly is. The blind eyes will be opened by a transitioning reality around them.

To love is a choice. A “fast” that God desires; is a heart that is willing  “to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke” Isaiah 58:6.

Heavenly Father, come quickly. This world needs to know true love.

A Great Shout Arises

A Great Shout Throughout the Land:

Sounding  a Trumpet

A cry is going up to Almighty God. It’s so loud; it’s all I hear.

How can one have peace when others are in torment?

The heavenly Father’s love is rising in this earth, but it’s not appearing as most think … While it’s the morning star of the Creator’s spirit arising in those awake, it’s falling upon those asleep.

With a belly swelling with increasing wickedness, the earth has opened her mouth to her Creator pouring out a great smoke full of torments. Lifted to His ears are the cries of the innocent, poor in spirit, neglected, abused, forsaken, and of the silent sufferers. It’s now time for Him to act. Their Creator is arousing to heal and restore as the yelps of the tormented billow up to His ears.

A supernatural spiritual blindness hoovers over mankind. The dawning of the New Day will awaken the sleepers with a voice of a trumpet sounded in the midst of their souls. Awake for He arises from His Holy Habitation with healing in His wings expelling all wickedness.

The cries are the loudest from the voiceless. Those tormented day and night at the expense of the lusts of mankind and their merciless governance. They have been treated as insignificant and as objects to fulfill the lusts of the belly. They’ve been abused and counted as nothing for greedy gain. The abomination of the daily sacrifice of their lives at every meal has become full-grown. By His own hand, their Creator will release them from their prisons; the hands of cruelty.

Mankind is blind to what they create. They’ve created a tortuous place in which they torture those deemed less then themselves, and in doing so they perpetuate their own misery and suffering. Do to others as you desire to be done to you. Luke 12:35-48, Matthew 18:21-35 They cruelly treat others “lower” than themselves and forget that they too are beasts seeking for the mercies of God; One who tells us to treat others as we would want to be treated. Should we seek His mercy for our suffering, and yet not offer the same to those we have been given governance over, especially the animal kingdom? People forget the animal kingdom belongs to God and that He put us in a place to be faithful loving stewards of creations of His affections. But we have made them the object of our feasts, lusts, celebrations, greed, and slaves serving a very harsh and thoughtless master. Sound familiar? This is one HUGE area greatly dismissed by many when they consider the everlasting kingdom of heaven coming to earth, but God has not forgotten. Isaiah 65:25

God is not arousing with torments in His wings as we have done and imagined. His ways are far superior to our beastly ways. He does what we didn’t do, love. Anyone who knows the love of God knows it’s far greater and more powerful than force and brute strength. It’s a power that burns as a refining fire on the inside to create something truly new inside and out.  Those who know the heavenly Father also know His greatest power flows through weakness and love.

While perfect love drives out fear, its mirror reflection in an un-renewed heart is shame. Jeremiah 31:19 In the face of His love, sin feels like intolerable shame that we can’t escape from until we let go of what is causing the shame. His love serves a a mirror and exposes the cruelty of our own hearts, which creates an overwhelming shame thus a desire to “hide” ourselves. Yet, in these last days there will be nowhere to hide as all that is hidden is being brought into the light. To hide from our own flesh only causes the shame to intensify. Shame is what we experience that leads to repenting and turning to love. Our flesh will no longer hide the abominations within. Numbers 11:20, Revelation 16:2 Since it is our flesh we serve,  it will show the truth of our true nature. Jeremiah 31:9

In the lusts and vanities of the world, the animal kingdom is overlooked to such an extent that few consider their endless hell created and perpetuated by mankind. How can one expect mercy on his “beastliness” if he is unwilling to give it to another for a fleeting craving? This contradiction is one of the greatest delusions of our time. It’s a great abomination as it is the expression of hell, torments, and the beast nature of man, thus his “markings” that he is a beast verses a son of God, who is love. Removing this abomination of cruelty in our lives allows our spirits to ascend as sons/daughters of God, otherwise we remain as we are. Further, it’s a reflection of the abomination of desolation for we have attributed a horrific reality that we created as an acceptable reflection of and offering to a loving Creator, who knows every sparrow. Jeremiah 7:21-23

Our healing and renewal is deeply connected to creation’s healing. We are all intertwined as God’s creation. For the days that lay ahead, I believe this is one of our first signposts … will we treat the animal kingdom as we desire God, who is far superior, to treat us?  Jeremiah 31:21 In abundant mercy, loving-kindness and care? Will we cease to torment them for the vain lusts of our bellies and our greed for the money made by them? Will we show that we have learned what it is to love the weaker vessels as we desire God to love us? Or will be as the Israelites when they lusted for meat in the wilderness when headed to the promise land? Numbers 11:33-34 

God cares deeply for His creation. He will deliver all from those stronger then they. He gave us charge over it. How have we handled such an awesome responsibility and gift? He is coming to see how we have managed our house. Will He find mercy? Or mercilessness? During my time with Him this past month, He has taught me many layers of understanding in this area. Our healing is connected to a healing heart toward creation. We can’t continue to embrace cruelty and be freed from our own suffering. We can’t continue to feast on death, dead flesh, and what is sown in darkness and be transformed into spiritual living beings of light.

Arise my heavenly Father from Your Holy Habitation and let Your love and righteousness break forth in this earth, Your creation needs Your love, for it has not known the true nature of Your love.

Flying: Faith in Motion

Flying:

Faith in Motion

space

To be a living creature, an eternal spirit being, means the spirit of God within us crafts every moment and every movement. Thus, we live by faith in God alone. Faith is what moves our wings to fly. (my previous posts lay the foundation for this “flying” analogy)

To move, thus fly, in oneness with God, requires a heart fashioned by God. This is the inner work of Christ within our Holy of Holies. This is a heart born out of Truth and Love. Once this heart is fashioned so that we desire to love perfectly, and desire only the ways, wisdom and truths of the Father, then the work of gaining a new mind of spiritual understanding follows. This mind forms by buying and selling the gold refined in fire with Christ; who is the wisdom of God. This is gaining understanding of truth and love regarding the interworking and details of our lives.

Once the heart and mind are established in the truths and love of God, then the faith that holds the power of God is able to go forth from us and into the earth; into our lives and the lives of others. This power going out is how we outwardly reflect God, which is our personality (garments), which is His light reflecting from us. This faith expands until it fills our conscious and unconscious realities.

Faith, the power of God, streaming into the earth begins with a prompting or a desire, to do or say a certain thing. Our words and actions are the channels in which faith moves through. Faith without works is dead because it travels through our works/actions. These promptings come out of the awakened Holy of Holies within us for the heavenly Father speaks to us between the cherubim. (Holy of Holies in You)

Channel of Faith

An example of a channel of faith the heavenly Father has established for faith to flow through in my life, is this blog and my videos. Every time I write or speak, I trust Him that He does it all. I trust He will not only give me the words, but will use them perfectly to each hearer. This faith comes from the circle of trust within the Holy of Holies, and the outer circle of trust that connects the spiritual reality to the physical reality.

Inner Wheel: Circle of Trust with God

I trust the Heavenly Father, and He trusts me because He knows I trust Him. This is the circle of trust created in the Holy of Holies. It’s the inner wheel of the wheels of the living creatures in the book of Ezekiel. Ezekiel 1:21

This circle of trust is built by understanding. It comes from knowing the character of the heavenly Father and how He works.

The heavenly Father governs us from the inside, not the outside. Thus, His reign in our souls comes through understanding. When we understand His character and ways, we trust Him. Trust is the fruit of knowing. And further, we as come to know Him, we desire to be like Him.

In this desire to be like Him, our understanding expands as we obey Christ’s teachings to our spirit. As we follow His teachings, understanding increases because we experience why they are indeed perfect. Obedience to His ways fuels understanding, which fuels our trust in Him, the circle of trust.

When we understand why He wants us to do certain things and not others, we WANT to do them. Understanding creates desire. To live by desire is freedom, joy, rest, and abundance. Therefore, in His love for us, He leads by promptings, understanding and wisdom. This brings us to the outer wheel.

Outer Wheel: Circle of Trust to Outside

Once a circle of trust is established within us. Then God can create a medium for His spirit, power and work to flow into the earth. The dynamic of trust circulating from within and interacting upon the earth creates the outer wheel, just as the outer part of the wheel of a car has contact with the road. This wheel is the dynamic of God’s power moving from the inner wheel and interacting with the physical realm. Thus, this wheel turns by our faith.

Back to my example, this blog/video is a venue in which God’s power/spirit connects to the earth.  It is a medium that my faith in God flows through. Because I write and speak in faith, it infuses God’s power into it. It’s a physical connection to others, which possesses a faith in God, thus it’s the outer wheel by which His spirit moves upon the earth.

The faith or power of God creates results that are far beyond our own abilities, which is a testimony to His work and power. But there is more …

My husband, my confidant in every spiritual understanding, infuses his faith into this wheel as well. He trusts God to govern what I say and to use it as He wills. The faith my husband puts in God in my output enhances the overall faith, thus power, poured into this work. His faith is like a booster shot to my faith. I have trust in my husband’s faith for I know the source; his heart crafted by God, which I see continually. This dynamic of another’s faith complementing ours so that it strengthens ours making it more “full body” is what Paul meant when he said,  “I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church,” Colossians 1:24 Through his faith, my husband lays his hands (will) upon me in these “works” and the combination of our faith is far more powerful than mine alone. 1 Timothy 4:14

When every aspect of our lives reflects the inner/outer wheel dynamic, so that we don’t move unless we are moved by God’s spirit, we are eternal spirit creations.

One important checkpoint, when there is a channel for faith to flow through, our perspective of this outgoing power/faith through us is humility. When God’s spirit, thus power, is flowing through us, what we feel is humility. This is what we “see” when we “see” God from the backside as His power is going out of us. This is why Jesus said He was gentle and meek. This humility is a combination of realizing it is all His work and not ours, we are completely dependent upon Him, and we rejoice because of His perfect love and faithfulness toward us.

When we partake of the heavenly Father’s heart, then our trust follows for His love is perfect and He is faithful. This trust is the fuel to moving in faith. Without faith it is impossible to do what God asks, thus impossible to please Him, for all He asks is done only by and in His power and not our own. When we fly, we are at rest, for all is done through God’s power. When our inner wheel and outer wheels are established, there is no limit to what God can do through our little ole’ lives, even to moving mountains.

Metamorphosis of the Spirit

Metamorphosis of the Spirit

Space

Monarch with caterpillar

Our spiritual transformation is a metamorphosis from one creation to another.  From a dead spiritual entity, which continually feeds on death, which perpetuates death, to a living spiritual entity that continually drinks in the sweet nectar of life and reflects the beauty of the Creator’s character.

Our merciful God created this earth to instruct us in His ways.  A beautiful illustration of our transformation is found in the journey of a caterpillar into a butterfly.

As a caterpillar has to die to its current form to transform into a butterfly, we too have to die to our flesh form to be transformed into a spirit creation; a creation reflective of the Creator’s likeness and of the spirit (air).

Stage One: The Seed/Egg

There is a seed of life in each of us. It’s the seed of eternity (Ecc 3:11), and the seed that holds the DNA of our Creator. With the right conditions, the seed within grows and we transform into entities reflecting our Father’s likeness, His character.  A seed looks nothing like the living creation it becomes; yet it contains the source code that is needed to become a living creation.

What are the conditions of spiritual change; the secrets of spiritual metamorphosis?

Stage Two: Feasting on the Green Tree/Eat and Eat

The main activity of the caterpillar is to eat … and eat. It’s required for them to grow to transform. Likewise, our main job is to eat to grow. We are to feast constantly on the Tree of Life, Christ spoken word to us from within our souls. This nourishment isn’t doctrines of religion, but the pure word of the spirit of God spoken directly to our spirit by the spirit interpreter, the Holy Spirit.

Worm that Doesn’t Die

As we begin to feast on the words of life, we cease to feast on death (lies, corruption, deception, false doctrines, wisdom of the world) little by little. These words are the pure words of truth, which comes from a pure conscience within us (Christ the Internal Teacher), spoken to our spirits and received in understanding. We need only to feast on these words of life to transform, but we must feast and feast continually.

If we continue to feast on death, we are the worm that doesn’t die, thus doesn’t change.

“where ‘Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.’ Mark 9:44

Do you know what this worm that doesn’t die feeds on? Dead bodies, death. (found in the definition of worm in the Strong’s concordance)

Through false doctrines, many people have been misled that this life is neutral ground, not heaven and not hell. It’s our own spiritual deadness that makes our reality hell. Hell continues as our reality as along as we feed on death. In feeding on death, we are the worms that do not die and transform into new creations.

At this stage, our purpose in life is to feast on the truth, the bread of heaven, so we can transform from our worm state and leave Sheol.

Stage Three: Inner transformation/Chrysalis

After feasting for some time on the green plant, the Tree of life (Christ), we start a deep internal conversion. When His words of life become our internal truth, it starts to change everything, beginning with our heart from stone to flesh. We mature to a certain point by His truths that we die (abandon and put off) to all that isn’t of the truth.

This is a time in our lives where we experience intense positive change within our souls. At our core, our character starts to take on Christ’s likeness. Once this occurs a flood of transformations begin. We start thinking, speaking and acting differently. Loving kindness, healing, and deliverance from entrapments of our flesh manifest. It’s a tremendous stage of spiritual growth that affects every dynamic of our lives.  And like being in a cocoon, we become separated from the world. Often we are cut off from many worldly things, people and activities so that our growth can take place unhindered.

Stage Four: New Creations/Butterfly

Once we come to a certain level of spiritual maturity, our flesh skins start to break away. As the caterpillar sheds its skins, we shed the skins of death/affliction/ bitterness, and what comes forth is something altogether different and beautiful. This stage comes with a great “earthquake” to our lives. As our old skins, which are of the dust of the earth start quaking, splitting open and breaking away, all that we have known starts to change as we become a creation of the air and no longer of the dust. The wind, the breath of God, starts to fill our new wings, spiritual mind, and we embark upon a new life as creations of the spirit/air. Everything is growing out of a point of perfection, His spirit within us; truly a new beginning and a new life of life.

Our appearance becomes a reflection of God’s glory/character. A butterfly’s wings don’t hold the pigment of their brilliant colors, but they have a reflective quality that reflects the light in such a way that it creates their magnificent brilliance. So too, we are mirrors to our Father’s brilliance. When we transform spiritually, our mortal bodies are clothed with new skins of eternity, thus bearing the likeness of Christ, who is the reflection of the heavenly Father.

This glorious transformation occurs in the end at the return of Christ, which is the brilliance of God abiding within mankind. What lies ahead, I do not know as no one has gone through this full metamorphosis in the earth, as it is only possible upon Christ’s return. It is through the fullness of His spirit within us that we become living eternal creations. No mind has conceived what He has in store for those who love Him.

Our eyes are starting to twinkle with the brilliance of His reflection.

Take a moment when you have time to look into a butterfly’s journey. You will find many overlaps to our spiritual journey.

A Time of Transition

A Time of Transition

Space 

We are in a time of transition as one age comes to a close and a new age begins. The Kingdom of Heaven, which has been separate from this earth’s reality as a spiritual kingdom, is becoming the kingdom of this earth; the flesh, physical. The birth pangs of the earth transitioning into the Kingdom of Heaven are upon us.

The kingdom of darkness/evil that has reigned over the physical realm has begun its descent. Thus, the ways of evil will turn upon those who do them, and the ways of righteousness will prosper those who do them. It’s time to abide in purity. The power to live by and according to the spirit of Christ has come through understanding and revelation.

Within the firstborn, the Kingdom of Light started as a mustard seed and has been growing. They have been transitioning for some time now. As a plant breaks above the soil, this Kingdom’s reign within them is breaking through and entering into this earth’s reality as it overtakes their reality. They are the light bearers through this transition.

This transition is occurring because the heavenly Father/Mother’s love is being made manifest. This means all mankind will be refined within their souls to be in harmony with this perfect love. A great healing is upon the earth, which is the fulfillment of the salvation that Christ brought by bringing the fullness of the Godhead into this realm by bringing it into mankind.

The Godhead

Jesus Christ holds the fullness of God, thus the male and female side of God, the King and Priest. Not only has this been a time of a marriage between the pure virgins and Christ, but also the coming together of these two aspects of the spirit of the Godhead. When Jesus Christ ascended after His resurrection, part of His spirit, the spirit of truth, was given to mankind to purify souls to be able to contain the fullness of God (Father/Mother). God couldn’t come in fullness until souls were first purified to receive Him and be His temple at the end of the age. What brings in the end is when the spirit of the divine is no longer spilt as it was at Christ’s death/resurrection, but is reunited within mankind as one. This establishment of God upon the earth and union of the Father and Mother occur within the souls of mankind for they are the creations to hold the spirit of God.

This fusion, the fullness of the Godhead, possesses great power. It isn’t a power like that of mankind. It’s a power that comes in gentleness, strength in weakness, and perfect love. Perfect love is the true power. Those who have been united to Christ understand this to be true, for it’s this perfect love that healed every infirmity of their soul; an impossible feat for any person.

The mother side of God, the Holy Spirit, Wisdom, the female voice in the Proverbs, was welcomed into the hearts of those diligently seeking truth and those with a love for the truth. At Her instruction, (she is a part of Christ), these souls became prepared to receive the fullness of God thus the other aspect of God, the perfect love, the King, the Father. In this union, they hold the fullness as Jesus held the fullness when on the earth. She has been dismissed, oppressed, overlooked and trampled. But as her King comes, all that trampled her will be set aright by the purifying fire of the Father.

Ascension and Taking Flight

Those who have diligently sought the true heavenly Father/Mother have already experienced their birth pangs (intense purging and renewal of their minds); birth (becoming governed fully by the spirit of God) and now they embark on a new beginning (the spiritual kingdom infused into their physical reality). They are learning to fly, as they have become creations of the air, of the spirit. They are transitioning from a diligent seeking heart to being fully led as they enter the eternal rest. They are like a lamp that emanates pure light, spirit of Christ. All they possess is under the governance of the divine spirit of the Godhead. In entering their rest, they enter into the very heart of God. It is His lifeblood that pumps through their veins, thus the power of regeneration.

These have partaken of the wedding ceremony of Christ. They have united to Christ in their flesh. They also have united to souls of mankind in a new way, in a bond of love. In this time of establishing their vows, their commitment is to love and honor ALL of creation as they allow the spirit of Christ, the spirit of perfect love, to flow through them.

Entering the Refining Fire

For those who didn’t embrace the spirit of truth and thus transition, they are now entering their refinement. Like one who is sick, as their healing begins their physical state will get worse before it gets better, as all that is causing the sickness (sin) is purged out. This is the revealing of hearts, lives being turned inside out, as all the idols that covered their nakedness are dissolved. It’s the beginning of the end of corruption’s reign in their soul. There is no more escaping the consequences of evil; hypocrisy, hatred, lusts, unforgiveness, cruelty, bitterness, envy, strife, dishonor, and torments to others. These acts against love will cause great affliction in those who do them. All that will remain at the end of this period of refinement is the purified, righteousness and renewed spirit that is of the one true God. This refining will continue until God is all in all.

Pick Up Your Mat and Walk

For everyone, it’s time to pick up our mats and walk; to walk in the path of righteousness, which are the path of life. It’s time to believe the healing we have sought is available. This healing starts within the soul, as true healing does. We need only to step out in faith in obedience to perfect love to see the power of God manifested in our lives. This means doing the right thing as directed by the spirit of divine understanding coming from within. It’s a time of purging all that isn’t of the Father/Mother’s pure love, and walking in perfect love. Desire to be led by this love in all ways always.

Beautiful Transcendence

Beautiful Transcendence

Shalom

Yesterday I did three videos. They marked a memorial and a new beginning. After 12 years of daily being drawn to the Bible and seeking to know my heavenly Father, this weekend He led me to fully embrace what I had been seeking; me as a part of Him in all purity and oneness of spirit. He came and made His home in me in a living union that always grows and expands by His will and His doing. He filled the hunger that drew me into the Bible by becoming a part of me; so that there is now an oneness in my spirit with Him filling the hunger. His spirit led and taught me through the Bible; but now He is doing so from within me and using all that is around me to increase our bond as He fills all my reality. What this will manifest in coming days … I can’t wait to experience. It is like I can now breathe; as if I’ve come out of the womb. And as my husband and I are one spirit, we’ve made this journey together; an experience beyond magnificent.

Born into the Kingdom

When we begin an honest journey to seek the living spirit of God in our midst, the grave of our mortal existence becomes a womb to be born again as Jesus spoke of in John 3. The womb is entering into His care, nourishment, guidance, protection, and instruction of Himself and His ways that eventually leads us to be birthed as spiritual creations who can be united to Him within our soul; for Him to come make His home in us. During this time of being in the womb, our nourishment, my nourishment, was the Bible. It is where I received the food of life to grow while in the womb, like an umbilical chord. I hungered for it. I grew by it. It brought amazing life giving truths.

After we grow to a certain level of maturity in our spirits, it is time for us to be born and enter into a new and living connection with our Father and His Son; thus to enter into His kingdom. This is a union with the heavenly Father through Christ’s divine nature, which has been knit to our soul through understanding and faith; that forms a pure oneness. It’s a union void of images of Him and expectations of how our union will appear in the physical for He is spirit and always advancing our union. (Wedding Day) He is always with us. His desires become our desires, His thoughts our thoughts, and His ways our ways.  It’s becoming His son/daughter in the fullest sense. In this bond the umbilical chord (Bible) is no longer needed as it once was. Though it was necessary to bring us to birth, to remain dependent on it as our source of nourishment, is to cease to transform and grow, as we should.

In coming to birth, we gain the bread of heaven from Christ by Him writing His truth directly on our hearts, as He is a part of us. There is no disconnect, nothing in between, but spirit to spirit. When our hearts are exposed what you see is His words written upon our hearts and new words being added by His spirit every day. There is nothing in between, thus a true and complete oneness that knows no lack. This is what Jesus taught.

Over the past months; I felt this transition … from a hunger that drew me to the Bible each day to a filling of that hunger deep within.  It is like the life source was becoming a part of my depths; creating a growing light within me. The communion each morning didn’t cease; it changed and grew much stronger. Our communion consumes my entire day and life for He is always with me. Revelation and understanding come from His spirit united to mine and is powerful and life-giving. He is bringing me fully into the present moment, which He is creating in magnificent beauty and love. My understanding of the words written in the Bible that brought me to this point actually continues to deepen in various areas; though it is no longer my source of nourishment; but His living spirit in me is my source. It’s a far superior connection; the one I’ve longed for. The words of Christ spoken through the Bible to my soul constructed a foundation of understanding upon which all is being built upon. The Teacher who came through those words that fed my hunger each morning is now being deeply intertwined with my spirit as my Husband. What a journey.

We aren’t going to be communing with our heavenly Father and His Son through a book in His kingdom; we come to Him spirit to spirit. This is what it is to meet Him in the air (spirit). He becomes our internal guide and compass. He becomes our thoughts, will and desires that move us to an ever-expanding reflection of His love. This directly impacts our connections to others. Our communion with one another will hold a new significance and impact as I’ve found with my husband. The words of life spoken between living spirits greatly increases us.

If you have read my blog or seen my videos you have known my passion for my heavenly Father that led me to diligently seek Him through the Bible. But now, that I have come out of the womb and to Him; I am embracing the fullness of Him in me as an eternal light directing every breath. It is absolutely beautiful, powerful and glorious as His spirit is also free to express and manifest Himself as He wills in my life and in the lives of others.

If you are experiencing this transformation as well; I know the delight in your spirit. Embrace Him fully. Let Him make His home in you; and you be His shining light.
