Receptivity: The Favorable Response

Yesterday, I was travelling north with our daughter and I found an antenna in the road. The antenna was resting east to west at the junction of 1) a road leading westward to the airport authority and 2) a road looking northward to the county fire department.

I looked and behold, an antenna once connected, now laying at the crossing of two ways. I asked the Lord what we could learn from Him as we considered this.

The Lord teaches that the proper function of our mind is that of a receptor / receiver. Like an antenna, our mind is created by God to tune into Christ and to become united to the mind of Christ. When our mind is one with the mind of Christ, we are receiving the operation of Christ’s mind and we enjoy the following:

We perceive, evaluate, discern and decide within the mind of Christ
We think and act within the purpose of Christ
Our Life Expression is the Life Expression of Christ
Love is the evidence of that Life Expression and that Purpose of Life
God is Love
How will you participate in Love without God?
Jesus Christ is the proof of God’s Love

As I held the once-connected antenna, the Lord revealed to me: “This is better correction than a willow switch. Stripes of beatings are for the backs of fools; better is it that a man would receive and follow God’s Instruction than to suffer the affliction that results from refusing the Perfect Counsel of The Word of God. Jesus Christ IS The Word of God and the Righteous Branch. Once a man has received and united to the Instruction of God on a matter, there is no longer any need to punish that man. God would much prefer that we would receive Christ, return to God and remain united to Christ in His Righteousness.”

With a voice of a great trumpet, the Lord is commanding every man, everywhere to repent; thus, turning to God for Instruction, Provision, Protection, Healing, Security and Love. For God has appointed a Day to judge the entirety of the heavens and the earth in Righteousness. Do not be deceived, that Day will not come until there first be a great falling away from the Faith of Jesus Christ. The love of many will become cold as they refuse the Holy Spirit of God and they turn again to the lusts of the flesh wherein they fell in the days before God’s Power was revealed to them.

Beloved child of God, let it never be said of you, that you counted the crucified Christ as an unclean thing by treading underfoot His perfect offering, as you continued to pursue the dark thoughts and deeds of this world after being presented the Gift of God’s Great Light in Jesus Christ.

Antennas receive the message that is close enough to touch and to enter the antenna; let your mind receive the mind of Christ, that you would forever live in Christ.

The Son, the moon and the stars

Many years ago, my nephew shared a gift with me:

He had been given a wonderful sight to see; the moon was radiant in the night sky and was surrounded by the appearance of a rainbow.

In the years that followed, I searched in the Word of God to learn more about this wonderful sighting and other appearances of the sun, the moon, and the stars in the sky above & around us:

God provided them to proclaim signs, seasons, days and years. God provided them as lights in the heavens to separate the Day from the night; to separate the Light from the darkness. God provided them to share Light upon the earth.

The sun symbolizes God Almighty, the Source of True Light, the Source of True Life. The moon symbolizes the Body of Christ, first exemplified by Jesus Christ, perfectly obedient to the Father of Light. Jesus Christ, was & is a perfect reflection of The Father; and Christ declares: that which we see&know&do in Christ, we see&know&do in The Father. Also, the True Church, who is the Bride of Christ, is instructed to shine in The Father. The moon only reflects the light given to her.

Soon after creation, men began to worship the creation of God, rather than to Love the God who created the creation. They began to invent gods of the sun, the moon, and the stars. They began to follow after fables and prognostications supposedly coming from the sun, moon, and the stars.

God gave these lights so that we would be drawn to the True Light, God Almighty. As these lesser lights declare the Glory of The Great Light, also, the chosen of God, participate in God’s calling of His Children out of the darkness of this world and into God’s Marvelous Light.

When the earth faces its closest approach to the fullness of the moon, the waters are drawn off the face of the earth, upward toward the heavens. Many people may call this the “phenomenon of tide”. However, God reveals that the nations/multitudes of the earth are symbolized in the waters over the face of the earth. So, God is working/shining through the Body of Christ to bring the Bride/TrueChurch to a fullness wherein she, in Christ, will bring forth the lost children out of the depths of the darkness of this world, upward and into the eternal LifeLight of God.

When God’s Word is gladly received in the Bride, God conceives New Life in her; as she continues to receive tHis Nourishment, the child in the womb is formed in the likeness of Christ; when this growth comes to a fullness, the child is delivered out of water and into Light (Baptism of the Holy Spirit); the newborn child receives The Breath of Life (Spirit of God) and is then lifted up with Love and drawn to the breast to receive the sincere Milk of the Word.

Jesus says, I AM the Light of the world: he who follows Me shall NOT walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.

What does God teach in The Word about His RainBow?

Table of Content

Daily, we are being invited to the table of our best Friend. The book is full of daily bread: timely nourishment that is needed to walk victorious through the challenges set before us.

God did not intend to leave us with a book. Our Lord is speaking to us on time: this is The Word of God. Yes, the bible has a written report of what God says. God invites us to seek Him in person and to receive what He is saying right now, in the present moment. This is the walk IN Christ.

The pharisees, sadducees, and other wandering children of the churches had the scriptures. Many of these people and people around us today, have the scriptures memorized and thoroughly studied. Yet, the conversation comes to Life in God as we seek God’s Timely Word for Today: The Word for a specific recipient, specific time, specific circumstance and outcome. Don’t give up the Bible; seek your daily Word in Christ and Christ will reveal today’s conversation through the Word of the Bible.

God might have provided the 2^nd chapter of Jonah for a teaching that He was providing for you many days ago. God might provide the 1^st chapter of Nahum for a preparation that He is making in you, for an encounter that you will experience today.

How about the experience of Moses?:

On one earlier occasion, God instructed Moses to strike the rock before God would pour out water to the children of Israel
On one later occasion, God instructed Moses to speak to the Rock before God would pour out water to the children of Israel
What happened when Moses struck the rock in the occasion wherein Moses was commanded to speak to the Rock?
How often do we apply the instruction of a specific time/circumstance to the wrong time/circumstance?

God’s Word is recorded/reported in the Bible. Jesus Christ is speaking to you a specific portion of the Word right now. God’s Word is always on time and perfect for the step that you are being instructed to take in the present moment.

God teaches us:

If you seek God’s counsel, you will find God’s counsel
If you knock at His Door to fellowship in Christ, God will open the door and pour upon you the blessing of being gathered into the embrace of Jesus Christ
If you ask the greatest Gift of God, the Lord Himself will fill you with the Life of Christ, the Holy Spirit of God.

To come to the Table of God is to seek Christ as first in importance in the power of God’s Purpose. There are many who seek God for lesser purposes. It is best to seek God for God’s Purpose. There are many people who seek God to receive their own list of contents. It is best to seek God to receive the content that God has chosen for that time/circumstance.

Come to the Lord’s Table, in God’s Purpose, to receive God’s content. Table of Content.

Taken by the Hand

We are taken of the Lord. What will the Lord teach us about this?

To be “taken of something” can mean that we are:

Zealously committed
Passionately pursuing
Diligently seeking

The Lord promises to be a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. God promises the same in the following teaching:

And I say to you, Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.

What does God mean when He speaks of “Diligence”?

Well, it is the very theme of this particular message: to be taken by The Lord’s Hand

to be taken of the Lord in thoughts, in consideration and in mind
to be taken of the Lord in each thing that we do
to give our hand to the Lord in His leading, His counsel, His discipline, His cause, His desired outcomes
to receive the Lord’s Hand in His instruction, His correction, His provision, His guidance, His protection

Diligence, then, is revealed to us by the Lord in this:

Diligence is to be committed to the Lord Jesus Christ
Diligence is to be humbly surrendered to the Lord Jesus Christ
Diligence is to be intense in our gaze toward the Lord Jesus Christ
Diligence is to be sincere in our connection to the Lord Jesus Christ
Diligence is to stay in Christ and to abide constantly in the active operation of Christ’s Word

Let us and let all of you also, receive the full benefit of this teaching from the Lord; we do not wish that one, single soul would live without the marvelous advantage of walking hand in Hand with the Creator, Savior and Provider of all things good.

How? The same Way in which the mother of Simon Peter’s wife was taken by the Hand ( Mark 1:30-31 ). Before, in our old ways of living, we were taken by the things of this world and we burned in the passion of thoughts and deeds that would leave us worse off; even worse off than to be completely empty. Now, if we were to live in the benefit of tHis teaching, we are filled to overflowing with the following:

You will receive all things needful for your abundant Life, provided in Christ
You will be instructed of the most excellent advice, counsel, direction and leadership
You will be strengthened to do all that is Right, according to God’s perfect Will for your Life
You will be fully certain of Christ’s ability to finish the perfect work that He has begun in you
You will be delivered from the foul, dark, claws that are thrust into us by ways of lust, selfishness, pride and the giving of ourselves over to the temptations that surround us by the workings of the darkness of this world. Lord, please bless all of these with the full benefit of Your Word. Amen

The Key to Freedom & Security has already been provided to you

We have heard from various samplings of opinions that “freedom” is :

To have and to exercise the power to choose
To have NO ONE beyond the self to exercise the power to dictate, obligate, or coerce your choice

On the related concept of “security”, similar samplings of definition are :

To enjoy, uninterrupted, the environment wherein all that you choose, for as long as you shall choose, is kept & protected
To have NO ONE beyond the self to exercise the power to alter the peaceful and safe keeping & protection of what you choose

Please also consider what God provides, so that we might choose to understand this Single Concept :

Freedom is enjoyed by the person who is united to Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit; the Gift of Christ & the Seal of the Holy Spirit are provided Perfectly & are received in Freedom as One Gift
You will know the Truth by Jesus Christ; and THAT Truth will make you Free; and whoever has tHis Freedom is Free in The Truest Way; Only Christ gives the Holy Spirit by Baptism
NO OTHER person has been given the power to steal you out of God’s Hand, once you have Chosen to Continue to Live In Christ; ONLY YOU can separate yourself from God by the choice that you make
Do not be deceived, apart from Christ there IS NO other key that will provide you with access to Freedom & Security

The Key was given to you in the Most Perfect Way, even the Lamb Who IS given to the purpose of our Freedom, since before the earth was shaped into its created form by God.

Many around you do not know This Key. Others claim to have This Key, yet they deny the Power (Christ&Holy Spirit) by their choice of course in life. Others once held This Key, and gave up the access&power by stepping away from God. Others have tried and will try to convince you that This Key comes by some other way, apart from TheFather, who IS TheSon, who IS TheWord, who desires with perfect desire to Live In you by the Power of God in the Holy Spirit.

THis Key CANNOT be lost. You can be lost by your choice. Please, hold on to tHis Key forever and ever. Amen. God, please provide Your abundant Help for Your Purpose, that these precious children will NOT be lost.

Love. Love is a verb. God declares: I AM. God is Love. Love made you. You do not make Love. Love is The Highest Pursuit. God explains what Love Is. Christ given for you: This Is Love.

This is God’s Instruction to us: Love. As long as you Love in His Way, you will forever hold and keep tHis Key to everlasting Freedom & Security.

Timely Word

One of the greatest blessings provided us through the conscience is The Word given timely, fitly spoken. God speaks to us through conscience in a message that is specifically fit to that moment in time, specifically fit to that set of circumstances. If you are needing to make a decision, the Lord broadcasts perfect Counsel through your conscience. How can we hear His Counsel?

The Lord says:

Faith comes to us by Hearing
Hearing comes to us by the Word of God
Anyone who has ears to hear, let him hear

Why have I, in so many moments, followed my gut feelings toward error, rather than following God’s Timely Word to Victory in those same moments? At times, we can Hear God’s Counsel in our conscience and we intentionally tuned Him out. In other moments, we do not hear His Counsel because we did not consider to ask the Lord for His Way. In yet other moments, we ask the Lord for His Way and we did not receive counsel because we did NOT ask IN His Name.

God is Love. Love is the Greatest Motivation for all thoughts and for all deeds. If we are selfish in our motivations, we won’t be tuned in to the correct channel to Hear God’s Counsel. If we seek to be united to God in Motive and then seek His Counsel to act in His Motive, then we WILL hear the Immutable Counsel of Christ as our conscience. Love is God’s Motive. Love is God’s Greatest Command given to man. Not the love that you learn about in this world. Not the love that you see on the world’s tv or hear of in the world’s songs.

God’s Love is defined in this:

God gave Jesus Christ to cover all of our sins and wrongdoing, so that we might choose to Live with God; so that we might choose to Live in His Name; so that we might join Christ in His Walk, forever; we will never die if we are rooted in tHis Love. Although they might pass away into sleep, the ones who call upon Christ to live in Christ will stand in Victory in an eternal Day that will never end.

Love.

To Be On Time

What if we arrived to the wrong job site at the wrong time? It is widely reported, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; …”

We can be sure that the above is true, not because of the songs written by man; but God spoke this truth. An important question follows: which time is it and for which person, right now?

The Lord promises: Seek and you will find; Ask and the answer will be given to you; Knock and the door will be opened to you

Furthermore, the Lord teaches: The Lord is a rewarder of those who will diligently seek Him. How often have we asked another person, Would you please tell me what time it is? How much more important is to ask:

Lord, what will You have me do right now?

What will You have me say in this very moment?

How do You instruct me to proceed at this time?

The Lord, Jesus Christ, is fully available and exactly on time. A true and faithful relationship with the Lord asks of us to be seeking and hearing from the Lord, on time. When we pray, we ask the Lord for the right prayer that He is providing in that very moment. Often, we have no idea of how we ought to pray in that moment; so, we ask the Lord to receive the substance and the purpose of the prayer in that moment. God will inform the person who diligently seeks Him. But what if a person is not hearing the help that God is sending in that moment? The Lord teaches: God installs this hearing in us through the Word of God (Romans chapter 10).

There is a present conversation in Christ, occurring in each precise moment.

Our experience of man’s “religion” is different than a relationship IN CHRIST. “In Christ” is moving with God, in agreement with God; this is to Walk in Christ. Walking with Christ is being on time with God, in the work that God has chosen. Again, we ask the question: What if we arrived to the wrong job site at the wrong time? The Lord’s answer is: Come, and follow Me; ask of Me in the moment and I will supply the answer to you.

The ongoing conflict among people is that we often do not make it our first priority, our first motivation to know what the Lord is asking of us, right now. If we would pause at each step and ask God where & how to place our very next step, we will in tHis Way have the Help needed to walk in Christ with each step of the journey. We get to choose. Our agreement with the Lord in this choice is the Victory that God wants for us.

This Truth is not up to the interpretation of each individual. The Lord says, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. This Truth is fully revealed in the Word of God; and Jesus Christ is the Word of God, as revealed in John chapter 1 and in Revelation chapter 19.

Will you choose to be on time in Christ?

Today is the Day

And Jesus said unto him, Truly I say to you, Today you shall be with me in Paradise.

Today.

Today receives much consideration and exaltation in God’s Teaching; there is much more available in the understanding of Today than I would have seen before.

When God said, Let there be light, Today was revealed and presented and made available for all of creation.

God divided the Light from the darkness and called the Light “Day”; this dawning of the True Light is when God revealed the First and the Last Day to all who would receive.

The First Day was not born at that moment when God said, Let there be light; rather, the First Day was forever before that moment. When God spoke tHis, God revealed His Light and The Word of God made evident the separation between His Light and the darkness.

The darkness was not God. The darkness was outside the border of God, an emptiness to be contrasted by the manifestation, by the appearance of God as First Light.

Today is not temporary in Christ. Today is forever up until now and forever beyond now. Today is the eternal Present, the Gift of God, Who is speaking to the woman at the well. Christ is that bright and Morning Star that is dawned in our heart. Once tHis Day Star has dawned in us, God is our removal from the darkness and, more importantly, God as Christ is our understanding to be able to Love, to Live, to excel in His Marvelous Light.

Jesus Christ, the Word of God, teaches us:

Redeem the time, Today while we have the Light
Yet a little while the Light is with you; walk while you have the Light
Do not worry for tomorrow
Care first for Today
God is the Gift of Today, the DayStar that has risen to give abundant Life

Today is the Day that God has given; rejoice and be glad in Today; rejoice and be glad in Christ.

The day wherein Jesus spoke of paradise to the man crucified with Him, was the Preparation Day of the Passover.

That day is the time of Preparation for the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.

That time is Today, for all who are receiving the Lamb, who IS the Word of God.

The transformation of the water into New Wine is Today, for those willing.

God’s gathering of the wedding guests to the Supper of His Wedding, is your gathering, if you remain willing Today.

Wealth in Under-Standing

Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights. No good thing comes to a man, except by God.

True Wealth is the Source of Good that moth and rust cannot destroy. True Wealth lasts forever and no one can steal tHis Wealth from you. We can squander tHis Wealth and we can walk away from tHis Wealth; but God provides the Way to establish us securely, so that no thief can separate us from tHis True Wealth.

If we give ourselves willingly to the separation, we can be separated. Yet, Jesus Christ gave His Life so that we would forever choose to be united, to never be separated.

It is spoken and believed all around us that Freedom & Liberty is to have NO ONE over us telling us what to do.

However, God teaches us that Freedom & Liberty is to have the ONE TRUE ONE above us, teaching us what to do and how to do.

Truly, Freedom is a reality of membership. Even all across this nation, people say that the freedom of the US has come at a cost and that we must participate, we must get involved to ensure that the freedom that we enjoy may continue for the future generation.

God teaches:

that Liberty is where the Spirit of God is
and you will know the Truth and the Truth will make you free
and he who the Son sets free is Free indeed
and Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life
and God’s Word is Truth
and Jesus Christ is The Word of God, alive and active
and The Word of God is the Spirit of God
and The Word of God is the fulness of God in bodily form, which is Jesus Christ

True Wealth is the richness, the blessing, the benefit of being rooted in Christ. Being rooted in Christ means that the purpose and content of the Life is IN Jesus Christ. If a man is finding his purpose, his thoughts and his actions in agreement with the Word of God, then that same man is rooted in the foundation of Christ.

What is UnderStanding?

To live in Christ is to live in UnderStanding; Christ gives you the ability to Stand firm under the protection and provision of God, the Father of Light.

Jesus Christ is the tried and True foundation of all children of God. Jesus Christ is the Precious Stone laid as Eternal Foundation and He is the True Wealth of all nations.

So, please, Stand and pledge your allegiance as one nation, Under God, with Liberty and Justice for all. In tHis is the Wealth of Under-Standing.

Wisdom: The Storehouse of Life-Giving Knowledge

If you enter a library, you might quickly see that a certain help is needed to find that specific, best book. What would one define as “best”?

The source that is most perfectly tailored to maximize the benefit in those who receive from the same source.

What do we need to know? Which book has a trustworthy source to provide the essential truth on these matters? Who has the opportunity to sit still for an hour and read in this day? Which one of the billions of compilations of information is best for ToDay?

In the enormous pile of facts in the entire universe, there lives a specific collection of Knowledge that adds Life to those who will receive the same. This Life-Giving knowledge is Wisdom. The Lord teaches us that Wisdom is provided from God above and is given to bless those who will receive. Furthermore, Wisdom is to be received in the one who seeks that which is Best, in due time / season.

The fullness of the power of God entered into the body by Jesus Christ
Christ is the Head of that body and we are to be the diverse members of that one, united body of Christ
Wisdom is the Mind of God activated in God’s children
Wisdom is the knowledge of God abundantly pouring out from God’s Bride, the Body of Christ
Wisdom is a Tree of Life to all who will take hold of her and hold fast unto the end of this age

The Lord further teaches us that Wisdom is justified of her children. What does God mean by this? God intended for the fullness of Himself to be spiritually conceived in the congregation of his children; God intended for the fullness of His Life to be given for all, in the birth of Jesus Christ through a woman.

How does this spiritual conception happen? All who will gladly receive and keep The Word of God are made new in the birth / Baptism of Jesus Christ.
Who is this “woman”? All members joined to Christ through the washing of sanctification given only by God, through the new birth of the Word of God, through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, are made Holy as the Body of Christ with Christ being the Head of that body of members. The “woman” is the body of members forever joined to Christ, the Head.
Therefore, the Body of members is just-ified, ( that is, made Righteous ) in the membership, ( that is, unity ) in Christ. Furthermore, if the Woman of Wisdom is truly in Christ, she will be fruitful and participate in God’s Work of raising up newborn children to the Kingdom of God

In a brief declaration: be wise in Christ and live in Christ’s abundance forever.

Composition

All things were made by the Word of God. Without the Word of God, no thing could have been made.

Many have been taught that the brain of man is the maker of thought, the creator of imagination. In that way of thinking, the source of creation is being ascribed to man, by man.

Yet, how many are the times that we have searched among the findings of another, in an effort to attain to a certain understanding? Did we receive the Truth when Truth was provided?

Consider the dreams that we see as troubling, the imaginations that we see as embarrassing: are we taking hold and holding fast to the Truth provided?

God teaches us that our mind was created by God to:

Seek what is highest and best
Receive & regard the Truth provided
Report in Love

Now, the highest meaning of Composition is provided in tHis Word given from above:

Love the Lord your God in seeking the Instruction that He will give to you in the moment = SEEK
Take hold and hold fast to the Instruction that God gives to you in the moment = RECEIVE & REGARD
Respond to God’s Instruction, by uniting to God’s Purpose and by uniting to God’s bringing-together of His family into Christ = REPORT

Composition is ordered thought in ordered speech. God’s thoughts are higher than our thoughts and God’s thoughts are purposed in that which is best. God is Love; and God teaches that Love is the Best Way. Love is defined by God as Christ laying down His life so that we could have what is Best.

God’s thought always agrees with what God speaks and that which God speaks always agrees with what God writes. Only God can bring order to thought. Only God can bring order to speech.

God is the Composer. We are the receiver.

My brain is not the maker. No good thing can come to a man, except it be given by God.

Please consider tHis Truth: seek first the Good that comes from God, so that you are not snared by the poser who poses as composer. Be blessed in Christ and filled to overflowing of all that is good by the Faithful and True Composer of the composition.

Today in the world, the destruction is revealed and that destruction results from confused composers who are receiving and reporting without seeking, without regarding the Truth sent by God. Jesus Christ is the Truth. Jesus Christ is the Word of God, who created all that was created.

Conscience

Our conscience offers a connection with the voice of instruction, counsel, and discernment.

As we face a decision, our gut and our conscience often contradict.

If I think back to the greatest errors I have made:

in those instances, I chose to follow the warm feelings coming from my gut as guidance, rather than the wise spoken advice that was being offered through my conscience. To go forward with the error, I would attempt to mute the counsel of conscience and I would give myself over to the desires of the heated churnings in my gut. So it is with lust. So it is when we choose the selfish desires over what is truly right to do in that moment.

We have heard it said: “Whoever is without sin, let him first cast a stone.”

The Lord stooped down to write with His finger in the ground.

And again the Lord stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

And they who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last

What an awesome moment in HisStory:

God comes down from Heaven to visit us in giving us the Bread of Life; in that Gift, He writes His Instruction in us.
God formed us from the dust of the ground and united us together with the Water of the Word of His Mouth.
God stooped down and wrote His Word in the ground. We are that ground that God wrote in.
When God planted His Seed into the soil, we are that soil; and The Word is the seed.
The Lord stooped down in Grace & Truth and the Lord wrote His Instruction in us, giving us conscience; that conscience given is our access to the Mind of Christ so that we may walk in agreement with God’s Love.

We enjoy rich fertile soil & fruitful multiplication from God’s planting by tuning in to God’s Word and by hearing & following God.

Fast Three Days

What happens when your wireless signal fails? So often, we simply unplug the modem and router and wait for a “reboot” to resolve the problem.

We learn from the Word: that God provides order within man’s thoughts; and we are invited by God to receive that order until the Mind of Christ becomes the very mind with which we think. In tHis Way, man is receiving a wireless signal from God in order to THINK and to DO in harmony with God’s Best.

The True Fast given by God is the act of uniting to God in God’s Order. Yet, there are interferences which would steal our focus away from the signal that God is sending to us in a given moment. Like viruses in the digital world, these invaders threaten and become dis-order if we allow them in.

selfishness threatens to replace God’s Love in our thoughts & deeds
impatience threatens to replace God’s Longsuffering Steadfastness in our thoughts & deeds
reactiveness to storming emotions threatens to replace our Responsiveness to God in our thoughts & deeds
temporary seductions toward the lusts & addictions of this world threaten to replace God’s Covering of Covenant Protection for eternity

What should we do when we find these interferences attempting to block out the Good Signal?

UNPLUG (these are not in sequential order; overlap occurs and the last should be First)
WAIT
PLUG IN (this should be First and continuous)

UNPLUG from the obsessions, distractions, poisons, thoughts & deeds that are bringing distance between us and God’s spoken communication; let us remember: The Word of God is Jesus Christ, alive and active.

WAIT upon the Lord; which means seek His counsel, regard His Instruction, and respond with committed thought and action. As a WAITer attends to the needs of a specific person in a restaurant, we attend to the cares and to the cause of the Lord. Sometimes His Instruction is to move forward; sometimes to turn back; sometimes to pause until receiving further Instruction.

PLUG IN FIRST to the Good Signal of restored order in Christ, as it ought to be. In our relationship with God, this occurs as soon as we seek, receive, and respond with sincere, committed thought & action.

REGARD (look to and esteem) the Lord by seeking His Counsel in all things
RECEIVE the timely Instruction God provides in that moment
RESPOND to God’s timely Instruction with YES; not only in thought but also with action

After giving His Life to forever free us from the interference of worldly thoughts & deeds, Jesus Christ was in the heart of the earth for 3 days and 3 nights—as Jonah was in the belly of the fish for 3 days and 3 nights.

Jesus says: I will keep on driving out demons and healing people TODAY and TOMORROW; and on the THIRD DAY, I WILL BE PERFECTED

The THIRD DAY will be here soon. After 2 days, Christ will resurrect the First Resurrection; and on the 3^rd day, Christ will lift the First Resurrection up and they will live in His Sight. The THIRD DAY is also the SEVENTH DAY and in that Day is the 1000-year reign upon the earth. May we all seek and keep God’s connection in our daily thinking and doing.

The Song, that Your Father Sings to You

I will be your Light, your mighty Deliverer, your Shield, and your exceeding great Reward

You will not fear any, any, any thing except for the disconnect from My Love

I will be your Strength of Life; and any weapon formed against you: will soon fail altogether

Even if the full multitude of your enemies would gather against you to war…

In One, One, One Word will I cause you to be confident:

This One thing will I give to be your delight

This One thing will I give to be the desire of your heart

That I have prepared you to dwell in the embrace of My House, My Son, forever

A house that is not built with the hands of men

A house that is built by Jesus Christ as The Foundation

You as lively stones perfectly fitted together in a Union where no joint of division remains

Here, in this place, will I cause you to gaze into the face of Beauty and to know Me fully

Here, looking to My Face, will you delight to inquire in My Temple, My Son, forever

As in the time of trouble, I did hold you in My Hand, to set you on The Rock, even now

To lift your Head, My Son, above all your enemies, encircled in ambush and in siege

Then will you sing

In Joy and Rejoicing will you sing; even My Song that I have given for you

Seek My Face; dig deeply and seek The Rock of Foundation, Who IS My Word

My Son is The Word of God; and here, in Him, will you see the Face of your Father

When all those you have cared for in the world forsake you, I AM forever for you

In Me, you will depart from your faintness and you will mount up with Eagle’s Wings

Look to Me; seek My Face

(From Psalm 27, John 2, John 15, 1Peter 2, 1Corinthians3, Ephesians 5, Luke 10 and more)

Millions say “I Love You” and One always shows the Greatest Love

So many of us say it daily. It has become a custom for many to say this before leaving the house for the day or before ending a conversation on the phone. “I love you,” say some; “love you,” say others; “luv ya,” say others.

In a world where people say there are no absolute truths and, in a world where people say that the truths of universal significance are different with regard to each individual’s perspective, we might conclude that there were billions of meanings for “I love you,” depending upon each individual.

God teaches the Truth of this consideration:

God Is Love – 1 John 4
Love is made known to man in that Jesus Christ gave His Life as an atoning offering toward God Almighty so that we could be filled with a new Life, Eternal and overflowing with the most meaningful abundance in God’s sight. – 1 John 3, John 4, John 10
No man will know a greater Love than that Jesus Christ laid down His Life for His Friends –John 15

Therefore, because God IS Love, we are borrowing God’s identity when we say “I love you.” To say this phrase in all of the available power and sincerity, we would be ready to lay down anything of our individual, selfish desires & possessions, including our physical lives, to contribute to the best outcome, as God sees that best outcome, for the other person receiving the “I love you”.

As we look around us, we observe troubling realities among people relating with others:

Divorce is more popular than a Marriage committed to God’s Love
People are saying “ ’ love you” without the commitment of the “I” and without the power of the “God is Love” & the laying down of the self for the best of the other
So called friendships and marriages are ending after the destructive invasions of selfish motives and lacking consideration for what matters the most for relationship

How can we share the source of tHis Wellspring of Love if we deny and refuse the very source and identity of Love??

God is Love.

We can not make Love. Love made us.

It is urgent that we all unite in the True meaning of God’s Love. There is no greater work to be done in this existence or in the eternal:

To receive the fulness of Love from God, the One Source
and to Love God and our Neighbor in the fulness of God’s Love

1) these are one calling and the Greatest Calling that any man can participate in, across all time.

Jesus Christ is the greatest gesture of God’s Love; alive and active, Jesus Christ is the Word of God given to us, always on time, perfectly fitted to our circumstances and to our need. Truly, only One Thing is needful to us: if we abide united in the Love of Christ, all other matters of Life will be set in proper order and all other matters of Life will receive sufficient consideration and fulfillment.

His Joy is our Strength

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in Truth. What is Truth? Our Lord teaches, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. So, now we can understand: to walk in Truth is to walk in Christ.

Who is the real Christ? God teaches, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John chapter 1). Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life that came down from Heaven (John chapter 6); and Jesus Christ is the Word of God (Revelation 19). The Power above all powers, the Truth, the Life-giving Seed is the Word of God.

God has no greater joy than to hear that His children walk in Truth (3^rd epistle of John); to walk in Truth is to walk in Christ; to walk in Christ is to walk in the Word of God.

God is the greatest Strength and there is one God Almighty. We can do all things in Christ, Who strengthens us. To be in Christ is to live in agreement with the Word of God. Our Lord teaches, I am the True Vine and you are the branches. If we abide in the Lord and if the Word of God abide in us, then God will install His Will into us and we will ask according to God’s Will. If we ask according to God’s Will then we are desiring in agreement with God’s Desire. In tHis Way, God hears us and God hears that we are walking in Truth; and there is no greater Joy for the Father than to hear that His children are walking in Truth = Christ.

So now we can understand that to be in Christ is our greatest strength and to be in Christ is God’s greatest Joy.

The world enchants us with happiness that God refers to as mirth. We can look to our past and see forms of happiness / mirth that lasted for a while and left us disappointed and empty.

God’s Joy is unique, set apart from the world’s forms of happiness. The Father’s Joy causes us to understand that we are precious in His sight and that He is pleased with our participation. The working of Christ is always maximizing the Father’s Joy; and, as we walk in Christ, we are uniting to that participation which brings the Father’s greatest Joy.

In the book of Philippians, Christ teaches: we can fulfill God’s Joy by:

uniting in the Mind of Christ; we look into the Mind of Christ by looking into the Word of God
having the same Love; God is Love and we learn His Love in uniting to Christ
being of one accord; tHis accord is to agree in Christ and walk in unity with Christ
let each esteem other better than themselves; this is how Christ loved us in giving His Life for us
look upon the greatest need and greatest benefit of others; a right relationship in Christ is the solution to both the greatest need and the greatest benefit

Therefore, Christ is the greatest Joy, set before us. There is no greater Joy than to walk in agreement with Jesus Christ and to know of a certainty that God is fully pleased with us and in us. And, when God is in us and we are in Him, there is no greater strength to be enjoyed.

Good Report on Good Land

Before distributing the perfect inheritance to His children, the Lord sent twelve into the land to walk the expanse of it, to experience the goodness of it and to return with the fruit of it.

God described this estate as a land flowing with milk and honey.

When the twelve representatives walked upon this land, two of the twelve saw a land fruitful, rich, beautiful and full of the greatest provision.

However, ten of the twelve perceived that the land was home to giants and full of peril against their own lives.

After forty days, when the twelve observers returned to report to the massive congregation of hundreds of thousands (the tribes of God’s people), we observe the following:

The two faithful witnesses shared a report of the Promised Land that was&is true to the Lord’s knowledge of the land
The ten others of the twelve made a bad report of the Promised Inheritance, describing a land that none of the children of God should want to enter nor inhabit

So evil and manipulative was the false report, that many hundreds of thousands of people from among the tribes were opposed to entering into the Promised Land. They had forgotten of the great wonders that God had performed in delivering them out of the slavery of sin. They even took up stones, desiring to kill the faithful witnesses, who gave&give the good report.

What does this mean for us today?

God has prepared an inheritance for those who will Love the Lord, Jesus Christ.

tHis inheritance is a Land and tHis estate is a man and tHis gift is God

Jesus Christ teaches a certain parable about which He reveals that this specific parable provides understanding for ALL of God’s parables. In this parable, God reveals the following relationship:

God, the Lord is the owner of the land/soil
The Lord sows the seed into the soil
The seed being planted by God is the Word of God
Jesus Christ is the Word of God
We the children are the soil
The bad state found in soil comes by man’s focus away from God, upon the world
The good state found in soil comes by Christ, as a man abides in Christ, the Word of God
A man continuing in the teaching of Christ will, together with Christ, see a fruitful harvest overflowing with God’s goodness

God made man in His own likeness, forming man of the soil from God’s Land. As a potter shapes clay, our Lord shapes us in His Faithful and True Word. God is our Promised Inheritance. God is the Good Country that we seek. The Body of Christ is Christ as Head and the children as the various members of His Body. The Body of Christ is that rich fertile soil, the good and Promised Land flowing with milk and honey. God is the Good Gardener who will bring forth the perfect harvest of His own.

God has called us to proclaim a Good and True report of the Good Land. Let all the nations know what the faithful witnesses reported: Jesus Christ is the greatest Gift that any man anywhere will inherit!

Justice & Identity

What is Justice? Is Justice a WHO? In the US, many have personified Justice as a lady with a balance scale and blindfold over her eyes. Also, many refer to the judges in the supreme court as “Justice”.

Many around us would say that Justice is done when the Right thing is done in a situation. What do you say?

Have you heard it said that a situation is an “injustice” (or is unjust) when the WRONG thing is done in that same situation?

The other day, I was asking the Lord for His Help to see Justice in the Way that He sees Justice.

The Lord’s response was:

Justice is understood in Identity. WHO do you look TO for Justice? WHO are you in the eyes of that ONE you look TO for Justice?

Justice is active, and in motion; Justice never fails us, yet many have failed Justice.

Justice is Righteousness and The Lord is our Righteousness.

In the course of interactions/transactions, we have an opportunity to look to God to see the Justice/Righteousness with which He desires to touch those acting in those same interactions. As we do this, the Lord reveals Himself to the one who is looking to Him; for God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

As we look to Him and begin to see the Lord’s Identity, then we begin to see HOW the Lord sees us; that is, we begin to see our Identity IN Christ.

So if we are to think and act with Perfect Justice, then we:

Look to God for His course (Way of doing), in any thought or action, to see His perspective in the same

Look to God to see How He sees the actors in the given situation; for example, who does God see, when looking to the person you are going to interact with? And what does God want you to see/think/do as you interact with that same person?

Identity. The Identity of Jesus Christ, our Righteousness, our Justice. And the Identity of each person, as seen in the eyes of the Lord. If we care to CONSIDER and to DO within tHis Identity, then we can enjoy Justice, EVEN IF the other actors in the given situation do not consider or act in Justice; for God will work ALL things together for GOOD for those WHO Love The Lord and for those WHO are the called, according to His Purpose.

Go forth in His Justice. We really can have One Nation under God, with Liberty and Justice for ALL.

Home in the Eternal Spring

A man stands before perfection with a great gulf of separation between the two. That man has been influenced by many to follow his heart and make his own way. So, year after year, the man chooses the path that seems right to him. On some occasions the man is discouraged as disappointments seem to devour his desired outcomes. On other occasions the man celebrates what seem to be the triumphs crowning the pursuits of his own purpose.

Doesn’t it seem that any and every person would benefit and flourish from the fulfillment of Life?

Many have expected to find this Life fulfillment in:

A mission conceived and achieved
A relationship with a spouse/family/friend
A career/job
A good deed / valuing the best interests of others as above our own interests
A religion
A pastime or delightful activity
A good report or praise from a specific person/group

It seems certain that all who are participating in this conversation have observed the disappointments experienced in pursuing one of the above and feeling dissatisfied shortly thereafter.

How shall we experience the maximum full-fill-ment of Life and avoid the paths that result in emptiness?

Our Lord Jesus Christ promises to you, today:

The Path to the fullest Life will never fail you; even when you fail
God, as a perfect Husband, Father and Friend is the Purpose and Destination of relationship
The Lord has a Harvest and invites you daily to work in the greatest work ever known
The Father of Lights sends every Good and Perfect Gift for the absolute best benefit of those who will receive Him
Good Religion is of One kind: The Love that God gives to a bride separated from her Husband, to a child separated from their Father, for the purpose of purifying us in His Righteousness and delivering us from the contaminations of worldly thoughts and deeds
Choose the Lord as your Delight and God will fill your hearts to overflowing with the best outcomes of His Perfect Will
The good report and praise of God will never be matched because of The Lord’s unsurpassable ability to satisfy you and fulfill your Life in the most meaningful and eternal Way.

THis, in the above Promise, is the Sure Way to be at Home in the Eternal Spring of Life Fulfillment.

Living Water

A mother was in the kitchen and she needed water for cleansing. Sadly, instead of clean water, out came sewer water and that water began to fill the kitchen. A daughter was near and was part of a group of seven daughters; and the mother told the daughter to find her father and to bring him.

On another occasion, a mother was in the shower and she needed water for warmth and for cleansing. The mother soon noticed that the water was barely flowing out of the shower head. She attempted to clean the shower head and even thought to uninstall the shower head to remedy the situation. After this, she learned that the valve was poorly set and water was coming in at the lower portion of the bath, instead of coming in from above, at the shower head.

The Father teaches the reality & remedy of both of these situations for the benefit of all who have ears to hear. In tHis Way, the Lord says:

Christ, as a loving Husband to His people, purifies us by the washing of the Water of the Word of God
Christ IS the Word of God, Who makes us clean by the Instruction that He speaks into us
As rain and snow are given to come down from heaven to refresh the parched land and to give seed to the sower (ie to the one who will plant the seed) and to provide bread to the eater, so in tHis Way does God send His Word from Heaven into His people so that they will pass from death unto life.
The Father sanctifies & purifies us in His Truth; and His Word is that Truth Who purifies us; and Jesus Christ alive in us is that Word of Truth and that Way to Life
God is the Pure Fountain of Living Water; as His speech goes out from His Throne into all the heavens and the earth, so does the crystalline stream of Living Water flow out from God, into all His Beloved children, even into the Holy City

Looking to these teachings from God’s Word, above, we are invited to benefit from the Pure Water that comes to us from God’s Kingdom. tHis Water points us to a Holy Seed, even to the Son of God and to our membership in the Body of Christ. Washed in the Pure Water, we are made new and born unto God as precious children.

The filthy, the polluted waters that come from below are symbolically representing the dark thoughts and deeds that separate the world’s people from God. Instead of cleansing & purifying the children to be united to God, these practices and their practitioners attempt to pollute, defile, and separate the people of God from God.

The people of God are the Bride of Christ; she is the Woman who is to participate in part as mother to God’s people; she is also the precious daughter who is to honor and to follow her Father as joined into One Body of Christ; the daughter is to radiate the beauty of the Father for the benefit of God’s family. God told us to be fruitful and multiply; first and foremost, God said this so that we would share the Seed (The Word) given to us whereby God will engender (bring forth by new birth) the eternal family of God’s children. The world does not understand God’s Way of multiplying His Family. God, through the Body of Christ, multiplies His Kingdom in a perfect Way, where His Word is the Seed and those glad to hear Him are as the fertile womb and the conceived Life.

SHARE THE WORD
