Love Brings Light
What are we told to wait for? I find in this day there are those who are not listing to the same old same oh, they heard for years in their Sunday visits to their local church. Jesus is coming back some day. I don’t intend to go into detail on this subject nor do I want to leave the impression I am against Church. However I do know there is a hunger in the people, and the church is not supplying the food that satisfies. Because of this, there is an unrest among its members.
I am reminded of the prodigal Son, a wasteful young man who was anxious to venture out of his Father’s house. He squandered away all of His means of support, found himself eating with the hogs.
Isn’t it a fact some must come completely to the end of themselves before their heart intercedes and cry’s out for help. We can see this in the story of the prodigal Son. But I wonder can we see this in our religious realm’s? We have ventured away from our true identity as one in the Father, and have been eating the old hand me down beliefs of man made ideas. I can feel the cry in the depth of my being, tell the people to come out from them. Lay down the old ways of man and his theory as to what God is, and how you must live in order to be pleasing to him. The hell fire and brimstone preachers are loosing their congregation. There is a truth being revealed lifting the people out of fear, anger, and frustration. They are seeing the oneness of all living things. There is but one source of life, and one Father of all living. I want you to know you are one with the Father. He has never separated himself from you. His love for you is unconditional. He will correct that which needs correction. It should not be a matter for us to judge who needs correction and who doesn’t. I understand what Jesus was saying when He said “Let him without sin cast the first stone” Of course no one cast a stone.
It seems judgment comes rolling out of us at times before we even stop to consider. We need to stop blaming, hating, and fearing, stop looking at ourselves as victims. See the oneness of all things. I realize it is hard to put in words that which is beyond explanation. It isn’t a matter that we haven’t heard Spiritual truths. It’s just that we have failed to accept them. It seems we have been willing to follow along with the old ideas of hell fire and brimstone. Believing God was an angry God, just waiting to pounce on us when we make a mistake. I can see there is a light shinning through the clouds of despair, as the sun goes behind a cloud hiding its light doesn’t mean the sun isn’t still shining. As the cloud moves away the light comes through and once again brings warmth to the earth. The truth of our identity is a fact. However because of the error’s of teaching of past generations, we have failed to see the truth. Oh but there is good news, the truth of a loving kind Father who has been with us always, is causing an awakening such as man has not experienced before. There are those who have experienced this in such a way, it is difficult for them to put in words what is going on. Or even where they are in this realm of the Spirit.
For generations, we have been satisfied to follow the traditions of our religious beliefs. We are realizing most of them have nothing to do with the truth of our identity in the Father. In fact most religious beliefs separate us from Him. This teaching is one of the biggest unintentional mistake taught
in the Church today. By unintentional I mean it has not been brought to the attentions of the leaders this error. This I believe is why the Father is bringing forth a truth, and light to man, in order to bring a correction to the belief we are all separate. When in fact we are all one. All things came from one God and Father of us all. Even the ones some have forbidden to attend their Church. I pray the love of the Father touches each heart, and brings the nations together in harmony. Hate, anger, jealousies. and fear are the tools of the ego. The eyes of our understanding will not be spiritually enlightened by our works, or religious orientation.
Until we recognize where the source of our life is coming from, and where it abides, we will continue to search for answers guided by our mind. This is why Jesus made it clear “Your ways are not my ways, nor your thoughts my thoughts.” His ways and thoughts were manifested to the earth from the unseen realm. His dependency was completely on the Father the source of His life. He proclaimed openly in Himself He could do nothing. In other words He understood self was helpless, and as far as He was concerned dead.
At the age of twelve he made it clear, He was about His Father’s business.
The greatest force keeping us away from the truth of our identity is our mind. Thoughts are continually racing threw our mind. Some good and some bad. Our minds leads us to believe, if we go to church on Sunday or join some religious group we are serving God, and are Christians. The rest of the time is spent as slaves to our mind and ego. “If you have seen me you have seen the Father” Jesus stated. It is obvious His actions were in the perfect will of the Father, so much so they were one in purpose. This is how we are to walk. Not with just words. Our presentation to the world is to be Father’s will, not ours.
When we admit some of our beliefs about God and Life are no longer working. When we acknowledge there are some things we do not understand about God and Life. The understanding which could change everything. We will find this understanding in the stillness of His presence. Our mind wants to race from the past to the future, always busy. We are addicted to the commands of our mind. In fact most people today are slaves to their mind and ego. Have you ever tried to not think. Just come before the Father with no thought. In silence ignoring everything around you, close your eyes take no thought, listen to the silence. Be a watchman don’t let a thought inter. This is your house, you and the Father abide here. Feel the peace and love as it embraces every portion of your body. You are one with all creation, one with the Father in the body, or out of the body, you are one with Him. Nothing can change you. Nothing can take your true identity from you. Will the time spent in this earth realm change the fact as to who you are? Is your experiences here good or bad going to change the Fathers love for you? Will it rob you of being one with Him? I think not. Notice how you are at peace when you are not troubled by all those rambling thoughts. Be still be still, and enjoy this present moment. Every thing you have need of is here in this moment. You are complete in Christ now in this moment. Every chance you get during the day close your eyes and enjoy the presence, that is with you all the time. Before long you will feel His love and presence as you go about you daily routine. Yes He is with you always.
All living creatures are living in the now, however to each one the now has a different feel to it. Some are pondering on how they are going to meet the requirements they are facing in the now. I understand we can close our eyes and try and escape the problems by humming ourselves into a different state of mind or be silent and day dream all of our problems away. The fact remains the cause and effect doesn’t go away that easy. If you are in trouble with the law you did something to cause yourself to be in that condition. Trying to escape from it by denying it is real is not effective. You may be free from the problem in this one moment but you can be sure the effect of your action is going to catch up to you in the next few moments.
I can understand how confusion mounts when one tries to separate their mind, body, and spirit. It has the same effect as when you try to separate the creation from the creator, it just isn’t so. We have never been separated from our Father. Nor have we been separated from Christ or the Holy Spirit. How could we be when the very Kingdom of God is within you. You are Spirit Being (God man) The breath of God gave life to the soul. The essence of God was breathed into your soul. What ever you consider God to be, you are of the same essence. And according to the Scripture, “All things belong to you” How is this so? Because of the God Head abiding within you. You are not separated from the rest of creation, you are a part of it. As a Spirit Being you are with Christ (Body) on the right hand of the Father, witnessing all the experiences your earthly journey afforded you. Your earth body is a tool used to learn the ways of the earth life. However your earth body is not your master. Your earth body only responds to what your mind dictates to it. Your mind operates through the ego and the five senses. However your heart operates through the Holy Spirit. So you choose which you are going to adhere too. The mind or the heart. As long as the senses control your thinking you will mind the things of the flesh. However when you yield to the voice of the Spirit which speaks to your heart, you will do as Jesus did and mind the things of the Father. His will, will be your will. As Jesus was sent by the Father and lead by the Spirit, so too are you sent by the Father and led by the Spirit. Jesus will go with you, He is your brother, and He will go with you to the end. Remember however Jesus stated “I have finished the work you sent me to do.” It is the Holy Spirit that enlightens and leads you into all truth. Which is the continuous flow of the word of the Father as He speaks to His creation. Jesus Christ was not sent to reconcile God to man, but to reconcile man back to God. So if we are reconciled back to something then it is obvious we were there before. What is being reconciled back to God? Our awareness of who we are in Him. If you are not aware of something you are blind to its existence. Man has been blind to his identity. Unaware as to who he is. We are sent to push the button that will turn on the light of your understanding, that you might see you are already at the place you are trying so hard to get to. Why venture out to try and find God, when you are already in Him and He is in you. Why wait for an inheritance when you already have it. Why search for a Kingdom when you already have one? This is facing the now and this moment, now you are a member of the body of Christ, Now you are reconciled to God, Now all things belong to you. Now you are complete in Christ. This is why the Father says about His creation “It is very good.” It comes down to the reality if you live after the mind of the flesh, you will reap the results of your actions. Which is hell on earth, and in your life. If on the other hand you are led by the Holy Spirit you will have the attributes of God manifested in your life. Love will flow from you to all creation. You will live in the oneness of all things connected together in the Father who is ALL IN ALL. He is the source of all life, and sustains all life. He is and nothing exist without him. All existing things both in heaven and earth is by and through His control. He created all things both good and evil. He takes full responsible for His creation. So be careful how you sum up situations, or judge a brother. What you do to them you are doing to the Father. What you try to cast out as a devil, just may be a tool used to bring an understanding to someone. Listen intently. Speak sparingly. Love unconditionally.
Lets consider our emotional body, (Flesh body) controlled by the carnal mind. Going from one situation to another experiencing numerous emotional feelings. Trying to analyze what to do and how to do it. Always searching and blaming others because of it discontentment. Looking always for a way of escape from the turmoil of the mind.
Love is the answer, love will bring a unity to the world. This is the key to bring all mankind back to understanding their true identity. Love must be manifested in and through us. We are the ones to bring light to the darkness of this day. Can you hear and feel the hungry hearts crying out for release? Let your love flow.
It is becoming more and more obvious, we are in an a day of growth of the Spirit. For generations we have been satisfied, to adhere to the teachings of our modern day religious order. Each order feeling, and teaching, theirs was the true way to the fulfilling life of the Spirit.
I want to be clear on the fact, I am not against Church order. I know there are sincere people in all the different religions of the world. However I do think the modern day religious order has missed the mark. In fact the churches today have become so modern it is hard to tell the difference between them and a cocktail party. A big social gathering with rules as to who is welcome and who isn’t.
I think this is enough said about Church. I want to be attentive to the fact we are all Children of God. He is the Father of us all. Creator of all things both in heaven and earth. He controls all things both good and evil.
“I am the Lord, and there is no other. I form the light and create darkness. I bring prosperity and create disaster; I the Lord, do all these things.“ Isaiah 45: 7 (niv)
Romans 13: 1- 5 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.
The Lord in his creation programmed each thing for the purpose of His will.
We can struggle and have warfare both in our personal life as well as our Nation. Or we can acknowledge as Jesus did. “In myself I can do nothing” in other words when self tries to accomplish a task without seeking guidance from the Holy Spirit, it is going to fail. This leaves us with but one choice. Seek the Holy Spirit He will guide you into all truth. When truth is known you are free. Jesus make it clear when he stated “I am the way the truth and the life.” He lets us know that in order to come to Him the Father must draw us. Jesus stated “If I be lifted up from the earth I will draw all men unto me.” So it is clear the Father draws us through the Cross. Which brings us to an interesting point. What is it we recognize being accomplished at the cross? When we read John 3: 16 the verse most learned in Sunday School “For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not parish but have eternal life.” It is clear God loves His creation. He sent His son to reconcile man back to God. He sent His Son not to condemn but save it. Jesus states “I have completed the work you gave me to do” john 17: 4
For years I taught the People in the Church I Ministered in, We have a NOW God. Every thing in Him is yours NOW. Not some far off time. or another day. In this moment you are complete in Christ. A member of His body. Where He is there you are also. Now you are seated in heavenly places with the Lord. Do all see this? Of course not, We have a light shinning, a door opened before us. Every knee will bow, and every tongue confess, He is Lord. I can only believe, our Father who is a God of love is not going to permit any power to send the largest percentage of His creation to hell. The carnal mind of man has so polluted Scripture in order to satisfy their idea of truth. They have labeled God as one to be feared, a God of anger and vengeance. Consequently most church goers today are fearful, for this reason they join a church. God’s love is unconditional to all His creation. We are here I believe to learn WHAT WE ARE NOT! In so doing we will know our true identity in Christ.
How can we know the will of the Lord? Who has the mind of Christ that He may instruct them. You have the mind of Christ. How do we know this? Because the Spirit of Christ is in us.
I know for years I struggled with my mind and ego, don’t get me wrong the battle is not over thus far. However I have come to an understanding that has been a help to me, and as I share it I trust it will also help you the reader.
I find my mind and ego is where the battle lies. You see I feel each person in reality is two not one. (Adam and Christ) I look at my mind and ego as
Adam, my heart and soul as Christ. Now I realize all in Adam died, but until we come to the point we can accept the fact, in self we can do nothing, and reckon ourselves dead to the world, but alive in Christ. If this fact is not made real to us we continue to battle. Some call this instead of Christ and Adam (The tree of knowledge of good and evil, and the tree of life) which ever way we look at it, the fact remains there is a battle going on in our garden. (plot of earth)
I am one of many people that must learn the hard way. I read the Scripture study books and battle mentally for weeks to come to a conclusion as to what I feel is the answer to my dilemma. Just when I think I have the answer, something in the depth of my being is churning, and I realize I have the answer as far as my mind and ego is concerned, but what about my heart and soul. There is only one way to find out. Be still, very still, and know He is God. In the silence before Him let the question come forth. He is faithful and will give you the answer. As the answer comes yow will feel the flood of love in ever fiber of you body. Oh how I love the faithfulness of my Lord.
Now to some this is completely foolish. I don’t say that all experience the walk with the Lord the same. However we all face the battle of our self and ego. How you win the battle is between you and the Lord. But one fact stands out HE IS THE ANSWER.
I am also a strong believer in praise and worship. This entails a lot more than just saying praise the Lord. Some of my best times is in the stillness, and yet there are praises and songs going on in my being that are indescribable. The Spirit carries you away into a place where all things are in harmony and at peace. This is experienced by the Heart and Soul. The ego and carnal mind cannot be present in this place. Oh yes there is a peace that passes all understanding, no matter how exquisite you try and make it sound words are not capable of describing it. It brings feelings and truth that is only enjoyed by those who worship the Father in Spirit and truth.
Love and Blessings
Bill
