UNHINDERED & UNSTOPPABLE

We live in interesting and exciting times, and the following questions might be heard from individuals who recognize this sobering world climate: Where is this increasing potential for war coming from?, Why is there more and more unbelief in God?, and Why are so many catastrophic events occuring around the world? I believe the answers to these questions are rooted in two facts: 1. That willful people along with great spiritual forces are trying to stop the pure message about Jesus Christ which is found in the Bible from being heard, understood and believed, and 2. These same willful people and spiritual forces are trying to prevent God's plan for the nation of Israel from being fulfilled. For these reasons and because the truth about Jesus Christ the coming Messiah is unhindered and unstoppable our world will continue to experience increasingly troublesome side-effects. As a result, it would be wise to seriously consider the words of Jesus Christ in Matthew chapter 24 and 25:1-13, and to remind one another that as we begin to witness the fulfillment of his words that we are not to be relying on our own explanation and understanding of these events. It is because of Jesus' love that he forwarned people of these coming trials and tribulations that will occur shortly before he returns. Ultimately, the truth to be relied upon and proclaimed is that Jesus voluntarily offered his life as a substitutionary death for the purpose of forgiving our sins, and that those who claim this reality for their sin can be confident their sins are forgiven. Those who put their trust in Jesus are the ones who will find rest in an increasingly troubled world.

A surfer peers out into the ocean to find the swell of the next big wave. When he sees it he will then move into position so he can ride that wave properly. In the same way, those who have been trained to watch and make sense of the times we live in are those who have been reading the bible as it is meant to be read. These people are the ones with 'the' surf board and they have been equipped and are positioning themselves in front of this rising swell of biblical prophetic significance in an unsettled sea of social, religious, economic, and political upheaval. For nearly six decades this has been occuring. This swell was created when the nation of Israel dropped out of nowhere onto the face of maps in 1948. Since then it has been gaining strength and momentum in spite of the increasing opposition. As God has been drawing his people back to himself and into the land he gave them in Genesis Chapter 15 he has been proclaiming that the way to know and be with Him is solely through his Son Jesus Christ. This is God's message to the world not a man made idea and throughout the generations this message has never changed. Salvation through Jesus Christ the Son of God is the message God is proclaiming in both the Old and New Testaments. But it is the unbelief, pride and rebellious nature in the heart of people that prevent them from claiming this truth for themselves.

THE TRUTH IS WORTH CELEBRATING

So keep your heart, soul and mind on Jesus. Not the Jesus that is falsely testified about or created from the minds and hearts of people, but the true God/Man who is found by reading the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and is proclaimed throughout the Old Testament books of the Bible. This Jesus is the coming Messiah and the one whose life is celebrated around the world this time of year for reasons that many still have not heard about, understood or believed! The countless lives that have been changed because of God’s unfathomable gift, however, have done so only by reading the bible and receiving the truth in it for themselves. They have learned that the birth of Jesus was the beginning of the end of eternal spiritual death! This is the real reason why Christmas is a big deal and is something worth celebrating!

THE LIFE THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

The awesome reality to understand and believe in this Christmas season is the same as years past that God has made it possible for us to know him personally! He did what only he could do and took on a human face. He came to earth as a man and called himself Jesus Christ. God did this so he could feel our pain, be tempted and tried as we are, and to show us his nature. He wanted us to be able to relate to him. The bible calls Jesus the express image or the exact likeness of God. He is the same as the Father in all ways. If we get to know Jesus for who he truly is as communicated in the bible we will see that he lived a life that only God could live: a sinless life. Jesus never lied, stole, committed adultery or lusted after another person, coveted, murdered or hated someone, worshiped idols, or used his Father’s name in vain. Because Jesus was truly righteous and never turned his back on his Father the blood he shed on the cross for our sins is the only thing valuable enough to free us from our sins. Just like a gift we must claim the blood of Jesus for ourselves. Have you ever lied, stole, committed adultery or lusted after a person, coveted a persons things, murdered or hated someone, worshiped idols, used the name of God in vain, or dishonored your parents? If so you need to be saved from the eternal consequence for those choices: eternal separation from God which is death. All of us will die once in the body. But those who believe in Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins will not die twice. Have you claimed for yourself the blood of Jesus Christ? It is God’s free gift to you for the forgiveness of your sins!

SEEKING THE CREATOR'S FACE

Knowing the Creator of all things including our souls is possible! But how? God revealed to King David that to know him and to be close to him requires a personal endeavor of seeking his face...

When a person begins to 'let go' of their ideas of who God is and starts to accept the truth of who he is their heart begins to shift into the condition necessary that develops 'ears that will hear' and 'eyes that will see' all truth including spiritual truth. This heart condition cries, "I just want to know my Creator. Give me the truth about who he is!" The awesome reality is that the Spirit of God is wanting to reveal to each one of us individually about himself that he is personable, reachable and can be known intimately when we decide to accept the Truth about how he has made himself known to us. The daily discovery of the death of our 'self' is what all of this hinges on, and the questions to be answered are:

• Am I willing to die to my 'self' completely and in absolute surrender receive the truth of God that he has given to me in the bible?
• Am I willing to read the bible for myself and accept the truth about how God has made himself known to me?

When the Creator says to David, "Seek My Face" he has a very specific meaning in that. This call from our loving God is to hunger and thirst for the lifestyle that is a perfect reflection of his image and an exact representation of his likeness. In other words God is saying to all of us, "If you want to know me hunger and thirst for the One who's lifestyle exactly represents who I am."

• Are you willing to say that your lifestyle or the lifestyle of anyone you know is a perfect reflection of the likeness of God?
• Is there a person, in all of history, whose lifestyle reflected the likeness of God perfectly?

PSALM 27:8

• Is the Bride of Christ / The Church asleep or awake?
• How many Christians love the Lord but sense there is something missing in their lives?
• Would the Bride of Christ / The Church say that their Pastor/Teacher is seeking the Jesus in the Bible?
• Can faithful Pastor/Teachers say the people filling the meeting place are seeking the Jesus in the Bible?
• Are Christians leaving church feeling that their soul is downcast with unmet spiritual longing?
• Are Pastor/Teachers being pressured to put on a program for the "sensitive seeker"?
• Is the Church wherever the Lord's presence is manifested?
• Is God's house a house of prayer?
• Have you made your house one of prayer?
• Is your heart set to seek the Lord's beauty until you get to know him?
• Can you say, "I'll fix my eyes on him until I see something that so attracts me I know it will satisfy me to the end?

David saw the barriers that were in the way of him and the people truly getting to know God. He knew going to the priests over the matter would not fix the problem, and he knew abandoning the house of the Lord would not correct it. So he went and made his own house one of prayer and sought for the uninterrupted communion with his God. Then God answered simply, "Seek My Face". Verse 8. Seeking God's face means seeking his reflection or his likeness. Learning of God by reading the bible, living out biblical principals, praying to him for understanding, waiting on him in faith, and accepting and loving the truth about Jesus Christ are required in seeking God's face. David responded to God, " When you said, 'Seek My Face,' my heart leaped in response. My heart said to you, 'Your face, Lord, I will seek.'"

PSALM 27:4

• Do you seek God in urgent and intense prayer?
• What is your life goal focused on? Is it that one desire, one ambition, and one thing found in verse 4?
• Do you live life passionately and experience many blessings, but recognize there is still something missing in your fellowship with the Lord?
• As you look over your life and into your heart do you see a need in your soul that is still unmet? Are you crying out to God over it?
• Is there a way of living you are now seeking? Is it a settled place in the Lord that your soul yearns for?
• Do you want uninterrupted spiritual intimacy with God the Father?
• Does your heart yearn for something in the spirit?
• Is your heart saying that there must be more than a S,M,T,W,Th,Fri,Sat-day worship meeting?
• Do you sense there is something of the Lord you have not obtained?
• Do you believe there is a beauty, a glory, an excitement about the Lord you have yet to see in your life?
• Can you say that your heart's cry is to have uninterrupted communion with your God?
• Even in your victories, defeats, and observations of God's miracles do you still long for something unshakable?
• Can you say you want your life to be a living prayer? One that will see you through the rest of your days?

David was fed up with empty ceremony and religious ritual. He was sick and tired of watching priests and worshippers go through lifeless forms of religion that had no power. David knew it was all wrong and that it was the reason why people dropped out of worship to idols. He recognized the beauty that was lacking and that there was nothing of passion. He missed life and hated the dead teaching and knowledge about the law. He hated leaving the temple with his soul cast down. David saw that there was something missing in it all. He wanted to know the life and the reality behind the religious rituals. He wanted to know who was the sacrificial lamb and the reality behind the incense and candlesticks. David's heart yearned to know more about his God and he made a decision not to go on as usual. He had enough and simply was not satisfied living with unmet spiritual longings. He resolved his life to one goal and pursuit: Verse 4

EARS TO HEAR and EYES TO SEE
There are two major dimensions we participate in daily. One is physical and temporal the other is spiritual and eternal.

Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfullness, Gentleness and Self-Control come from the spiritual realm and originate in the Spirit of Life. All of these things can manifest through our physical bodies. Pride, Bitterness, Envy, Lust, Hate, Fear, Malice, Greed, and the like also come from the spiritual realm and originate in our soul and in the spirit of death. These things can also manifest through our physical bodies. When a person decides to step out of the dark and into the Light they are choosing to surrender their soul to the one who called himself the Truth. When the Truth is accepted and pursued after daily an amazing thing happens. The spirit of death and its power to keep us in darkness is broken and the Spirit of Life comes inside of us and works his Way in us.

We must realize that our physical bodies are a temporary house for our real person-our soul, and that this physical body will die. Our soul, however, will not end but will continue to be concious and aware for eternity. The most critical to understand is that what we surrender to and believe during this short time in the body will determine where we spend eternity. We are at a crossroad. If we live for ourselves in the dark while in the body we can also expect our soul to exist in eternal spiritual darkness when our body dies. But if we accept Love and his forgiveness for what we have been doing in the dark we can expect to exist for eternity in the Light. We can expect to have eternal Life which is dependent on what the Truth has promised. We must use our minds and hearts to identify with the unseen and spiritual side of us. We must hear and see with our hearts.

There is something in all of us that says there is more to this physical life. Our consciences confirm that and the great thing is that the Truth affirms it as well. The reality is that eternity has been written on our hearts. We are free to choose, act, think and believe what we want and next to eternity our 75 years in the crossroad is inexplicably significant.

SILENCE AND SOLITUDE
It's more than ok to be quiet and it's wise to be silent. Hidden within the word 'silent' is another word that can help us know what's True in this world. What this word defines is a discipline that will help us to really know someone.

Who do you have in your life that L-I-S-T-E-N-s to you. Who responds in context to what you are saying? Who doesn't compete for the next word? Who really knows you? We can know many people but we will really know and understand the one's who listen. In our day silence is now perceived as a threat and solitude a waste of time? Could this be the primary reason we don't know the Way to live, the Truth that pierces the darkness, and the Life that will last for eternity.

The Light reveals that those individuals who have come to know Love have listened to what the Truth said. The Light also reveals that no one can really know Love except those who receive the Truth into their lives.

Love says, "Be quiet and still so you can really know me. Stop listening to yourself and what other people are saying and listen to what the Truth has already said about me. By doing this you will really get to know me. Go spend some time alone and be silent before me. I really want to show you my Way. Don't be threatened by the silence because I am Love. I forgive you. Don't feel alone in solitude because I am right there. I am a Spirit and you can only hear me if you listen with your heart. I love you and I forgive you."

ON LOVE
We are meant to receive and give Love and we can die spiritually, emotionally, and physically if we choose not to learn the Truth about what Love really is.

Love is our greatest need but there is great confusion about what Love really is. Many people are searching for it in places it can never be found.

What and where is Love? Many things are given, experienced, or expressed in our world today in an attemp to show love, but there is still an incredible longing for real Love to be experienced and known. If Love is not found in emotions, in the act of sex, in the giving away of money or gifts, or even in the words 'I love you' then how can it be known and given away? How is it possible that doing, feeling, and saying these things can still leave us empty and longing for Love?

Quieting our hearts and minds and turning from all that distracts us from the Truth will bring about the necessary condition required to know Love. What distracts us from learning the Truth and living in the Light? A comfortable lifestyle? A fear of justice? A seared conscience? A desire for more? What distracts you?

Love is powerful enough to free us from our pride and spiritual blindness. Love wants to reveal himself but he can't be made up, redefined, or intellectualized. Love is tough and uncompromising. Love endures nails in hands and feet, thorns in forhead, whipping on back. Love is tough and always does what is best for the other person even when it is undeserved. A hard and sobering Truth is that this Love can be rejected. An incredible and freeing Truth is that this Love went far enough for each of us so we could have the option to step out of the dark and into the Light.

Love is the reason why the Light shines in the darkness. Without Love there is no humility. Without humility there is no surrender. Without surrender there is no salvation. Without salvation there is only spiritual death in darkness. Without Love there is no kindness. Without kindness there is nothing that leads us to repentance and sorrow for the things we do in the dark. Without Love there is no mercy but only fear of perfect justice.

The Truth is that Love is a Spirit. The Truth says, 'I am the image of the Spirit of Love and my Way is meant to be received into your life so that I may be known by you personally and so you can be known by me personally---forever.'

APPRECIATING THE LIGHT IN DARKNESS
Long lasting and fulfilling relationships are built upon solid, eternal and effective characteristics and values that originate in the very heart that we are meant to beat in rhythm with. The effect of these characteristics and values on our lives is like the influence a lit candle would have in the center of an enclosed and dark stadium. They can be seen and identified by those in the dark, but only by those who are really looking. Those who are tired of living in the darkness recognize the contrast and will be attracted to this small but effective Light. They will focus and come along side it because there is an identifiable difference. The values and character that reflect this Light into dark places always point to its source. That source is Love:

Love is defined and experienced when these values and characteristics shine:

PATIENCE - KINDNESS - TRUST - PERSEVERENCE - SINCERITY - GOODNESS - HONOR - ZEALOUSNESS - SERVICE - FAITHFULNESS - FORGIVENESS - PRAYER - HOSPITALITY - SHARING -REJOICING WITH TRUTH - PROTECTING ONE ANOTHER - BEING HOPEFUL - GENTLENESS - SELF CONTROL - HONESTY - HUMILITY -

Love is the only one who can compel those in the dark to hunger for Truth and desire to completely surrender themselves into the Light.
Love is the only one who can establish and sustain real eternal life in those who choose to live in the Light.

As we willingly surrender our thoughts, emotions, opinions, capacities to understand, doubts and everything our physical bodies once craved in the dark to the Light of Truth we will start seeing and understanding with spiritual eyes what it means to really be alive.

THE BEGINNING OF APPRECIATION
As we choose to live in the Light of Truth daily we also choose to actively pursue what's in the Light. We deliberatley forfeit sitting by the wayside, and with intent begin living a life that searches for and receives the Truth in all things. As a result, we receive and develop the same characteristics that are found in the One whose image we are meant to reflect. This pursuit means he will develop the capacity within our spirits, souls, and bodies to enjoy and experience the real and satisfying relationships we so long for with one another. Learning to relate in this Way is possible only when we as individuals step into a new and personal relationship with the one who lived in this Way toward us. With the one who can show us how. A refreshing and real daily experience with the one who called himself the Light will be the beginning of appreciation in our hearts and minds for one another.

ON THANKFULNESS
To step into the Light means we have chosen to leave behind our old way of doing things in the dark forever. It means we have chosen to receive an eternity of undeserved blessing in the Light instead of an eternity of naturally deserved consequence in the dark. The Spirit of Life, the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of Light are all one and the same, and as we daily humble ourselves before him our spirits, souls, and bodies will be changed by him: What was once in the dark is now in the Light...

What was once prideful is now humble
What was once in despair is now in hope.
What was once cursed is now blessed
What was once out of control is now in control.
What was once deceived is now in Truth
What was once insecure is now secure.
What was once guilty is now innocent
What was once worried is now at peace.
What was once in fear is now in love
What was once impatient can now wait.
What was once weak is now strong
What was once blind spiritually can now see spiritually.
What was once in self is now in service
What was once in doubt is now in faith.
What was once rejected is now accepted
What was once dead is now alive.

This is just the beginning and it is in this knowledge, new way of living, and new way of thinking that we can become truly content and thankful in hard and easy times. If we lose our homes, if we are hungry, if we are unappreciated, if we are sick, if we are ridiculed, or alone, and if we are rich, if we are healthy, if we are respected, if we are happy, if we are at peace, or have things we can remain in the Spirit of Thanks. Thankfullness does not depend on our circumstances, our feelings or the condition of our bodies. It depends on our deliberate awareness that we were once dead and in eternal darkness, but are now alive and will always live with new purpose in the Light.

This new spiritual life is in the one who provides, sustains, and remains faithful in all situations. If we make it a point to keep Truth at the forefront of our minds we will see everything around us in the new Light and our families, friendships, and other relationships will become more united because of it.

ON FORGIVENESS
In order to truly forgive someone we must love them. The depth to which we will forgive someone is in direct proportion to our knowledge and understanding of how far and deep Love can go to cancel the offences we commit in the dark.

It's critically important to recognize that forgiveness in and of itself does not depend on our emotions or reasoning skills. Just as Truth is beyond the dictates of our reason so forgiveness is beyond our limitations and expectations. We are not the source of forgiveness. A spirit, soul, and body that absolutley surrenders themselves into the Light of Truth will, however, become a part of its source. Because a person living in the Light of Truth has experienced forgiveness for everything they have done in the dark, no matter how serious the action or thought, they are now capable to lovingly forgive in the same Spirit and to the same unfathomable depths. Those who have come to know Love personally realize they have been forgiven in a way that flips their inevitable eternity upside down. Instead of eternal death fueled by unforgiveness and pride it has become eternal life fueled by love, forgiveness and humility.

The forgiveness that is found in the Light of Truth is born out of an unconditional love that defies our reason. As a result, we cannot grasp Love totally, but we can know Love and be Love to those around us. If you haven't done so already step into the Light where the Truth will expose all you have ever done in the dark. Then receive the forgiveness that is offered in Love.

Who defines Love? Who defines Light? Who defines Truth? Who defines the Way? Who defines Life? Who defines Humility? Who Surrendered Everything? Who has the power to Forgive?

The only Name under heaven by which men will be saved!

ON HUMILITY THROUGH SURRENDER (Part 3 of 3)
Stepping into Light from the dark places in our spirit, soul and body is the most significant decision we can make. The outcome of such a decision flips our world and perspectives upside down, because the Light allows us to really see ourselves as we truly are and empowers us to do what we could never do in the dark by ourselves. Absolute surrender changes the location of our eternity and enables us to be humble.

I was once in the dark and in a dead and disordered state. I was divided and incomplete and I wanted help out of it. A man who came to understand humility said to me step into and remain in the Light where you will be exposed in the Truth. I did because the dark is lonely, unfulfilling and much worse. This Light completely exposed the reality of my condition: I was dead in my spirit, soul, and body. But the Absolute Truth was there: the Truth that was beyond the dictates of my reason and expectation. I was anticipating justice for who I was in the dark, but the Truth didn't throw a punitive hand, a clamor of disgust, a turn of rejection or a verdict of guilty as charged. He offered me forgiveness past, present and future because he already took the perfect justice for my carnal, diseased and disordered state. If I would receive his mercy so undeserved I would never receive his justice so rightly deserved. It was at this point that I experienced what humility was. I received forgiveness and surrendered completely to the way of living that is in the Light of Truth.

ON HUMILITY THROUGH SURRENDER (Part 2 of 3)
When we surrender our spirit, soul and body to the Light it allows us to see our true spiritual need and that those things we have been doing in the dark steal the best that Truth has to offer us, namely, real love, real joy, real peace, real relationships, and real eternal life. None of these can be experienced unless they are given and received in the Spirit of Humility. This humility is fueled by Love.

As we remain in the Light we will be sustained by it because in a sense we have "plugged into its power" through a chosen state of willfull surrender. Partial surrender to the Light is no surrender at all because it is an incomplete and divided decision. It's been said that whoever surrenders their spirit, soul and body into the Light of Truth will receive its eternal spiritual Life, but whoever remains in the darkness will lose their life in that same eternal and spiritual darkness.

Real Love, Joy, Peace, Hope, Relationship, and Life are all available to us when we humble ourselves through surrendering to the Light of Truth.

ON HUMILITY THROUGH SURRENDER (Part 1 of 3)
If humility means lowering ourselves in the attitude and spirit of Truth to that place where we see others as more important than our own interests, then surrender means to consistently and consciously enter into the only realm that empowers us to live in such a Way.

Consistently achieving a humble heart in the seconds of our lives is to come to a place of absolute surrender in our spirit, soul and body. This absolute surrender is a deliberate step we take into the Light, and it is motivated by Love not fear. It is motivated by sorrow over those things we have been doing in the dark and a willingness to stop doing those things once and for all.

ON HUMILITY
"The greatest among us should be like the youngest, and those who rule like those who serve". This is the Truth

What is humility and who among us sets it as their focus for each day? If we begin to understand and pursue humility in the truest sense of the word then apply it, we will experience life as it was meant to be. We will become more complete.
Humility is the opposite of our pride:

"Humility is the proper estimate of oneself."
"If you are looking for an example of humility, look at the cross."
"It is no great thing to be humble when you are brought low; but to be humble when you are praised is geat and rare achievement."
"Nothing sets a person so much out of the devil's reach as humility."
"Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish yourself to be."
"Humility is the most difficult of all virtues to achieve; nothing dies harder than the desire to think well of oneself."

To be humble is to flip our world upside down. It is to do what is unnatural. It is to do what is uncomfortable. When we pursue recognition, glory and praise for ourselves we are doing what's natural. When we want to control, be first and not wait, or impress those around we are doing what comes natural. This is not humility.

Humility is a conscious decision that is born out of a Spirit that is beyond us. If we choose to receive this Spirit we will become humble. We will become servants without pride in our marriages, families, friendships, and other relationships. Without the pursuit and application of humility we will eventually lose everything.

To be people of humility we must make ourselves nothing in our spirits, souls and bodies by taking in the Spirit of Truth. We must become dead to ourselves and concider the only Way that can produce unity. If you are a King or Queen, President or Prime Minister, Father or Mother, Husband or Wife, CEO or Manager, Teacher, Friend...Whomever, let's take on the role of a servant with joy. To make ourselves nothing we need live in the Light. Here there is no division.

ON TRUTH AS LIGHT
Absolute Truth is Light. Just as light exposes things that are in the dark so Truth exposes the problems that cause division and spiritual death inside and around us.

Our spirit, soul and body long for inner peace but that Peace will never be experienced if we don't first step into the Light of Truth that can reveal to us our real need. Our real need is to be free from ourselves and united with the one whose image we reflect. It has been written that the only reason we would not accept Truth or step into the Light is because we love to lift up ourselves in the dark. We love pleasure and self-reliance more than Truth. We tend to stay out of the Light of Truth because it is the only thing that can expose what we do for ourselves in the dark. This means we are afraid to be found out and punished for those things we know deserve justice.

I want to be in the Light of Truth so that I can be known by my wife, my family and friends, and others I interact with. I desire to be undivided and without hypocracy so I can be known by the Light. This is a worthy goal. A hard goal but well worth the sacrifice of self. It means real living, peace, health, contentment in all circumstances, and true friendship.

ON TRUTH
Without Truth the most valuable thing to us is our own self-righteousness. It is possible to spend a whole lifetime without knowing what is True and in this condition we naturally choose an independant approach to meet needs that we ultimately cannot meet for ourselves. If we think about it a natural consequence to this is that we spend our whole lives forming a good opinion about ourselves that is built and relys solely upon self-praise and self-justification of our actions and motives. We build a monument to our own goodness as defined by our own reason and call it "truth." We deceive ourselves and make Truth relative when it is really absolute. This is our natural tendancy and it is dangerous because it divides us. If we don't consciously recognize it and surrender to the Absolute Truth we will end up putting ourselves above the only power that can unite what is divided in us. Absolute Truth is the only thing that can conquer the eternal death in our souls and spirits, our fears, our guilt, our shame, our insecurity, our apathy, our self-hatred and our self-worship.

THREE IN ONE / TRUTH = LIFE
WE ARE MEANT TO LIVE AND EXPERIENCE LIFE AS WHOLE INDIVIDUALS AND WE ARE MADE UP OF THREE PARTS THAT ARE TO BE IN SYNC. FIRST, WE ARE A SPIRIT THAT WILL LIVE OR DIE ETERNALLY. SECOND, WE ARE A SOUL WITH FREE WILL TO BELIEVE AND CHOOSE, WITH EMOTIONS ,PERSONALITY, AND ABILITIES TO REASON AND DISCERN. ALL ARE UNIQUELY EXPRESSED THROUGH A HEART OF HEARTS THAT BEATS WITH THIS SAME RHYTHM FOR ETERNITY. THIRDLY,WE ARE A PHYSICAL BODY THAT ALTHOUGH LIMITED HAS A PURPOSE TO TEMPORARILY EXPRESS THE SPIRIT AND SOUL WITHIN AND EXPERIENCE THE WORLD WITHOUT. OUR BODY CAN TAKE IN ALL THAT LIFE OR DEATH HAS TO OFFER. WHAT WE CHOOSE TO TAKE IN DIRECTLY EFFECTS OUR SOUL AND SPIRIT FOREVER.

YOU (YOUR SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY TOGETHER) REFLECT A MYSTERIOUS AND GLORIOUS IMAGE THAT IS MEANT TO BE PURSUED, UNDERSTOOD, RESPECTED, ADORED AND REVERENTLY FEARED. OUR SPIRITS, SOULS AND BODIES ARE NOT MEANT FOR DIVISION WITHIN OURSELVES OR IN RELATIONSHIPS. WE ARE MEANT TO BE COMPLETE IN SPIRIT, SOUND IN HEART AND MIND, AND PURE IN BODY. WE ARE MEANT TO BE FREE FROM REJECTION. WE ARE DESIGNED TO BE APPRECIATED AND ACCEPTED.

ENCOMPASSING ALL OF THIS IS TRUTH: TRUTH IS THE MYSTERIOUS AND GLORIOUS IMAGE! IT IS THE WAY THAT HAS EXISTED BEFORE TIME, AND IS THE LIVING REALITY THAT IS BEYOND THE DICTATES OF OUR REASON BUT NOT THE WILL OF OUR CHOICE. JUST LIKE US, TRUTH CAN BE REJECTED OR ACCEPTED BUT JUST LIKE US IT IS MEANT TO BE ACCEPTED AND NOT REJECTED! TRUTH IS THE SOURCE FOR UNITY IN OURSELVES AND IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS. THEREFORE, WE ARE MEANT TO KNOW,ACCEPT AND PURSUE TRUTH SO WE CAN BE FREE TO EXPERIENCE LIFE AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE.

IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT ALL OF US HAVE EXPERIENCED REJECTION IN OUR LIVES DIRECTLY AND/OR INDIRECTLY THAT HAS LEAD TO A COMPLETE OR PARTIAL BREAKDOWN WITHIN OURSELVES AND IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS. AS I OBSERVE, LISTEN, AND RESPOND I CAN DISCERN THAT THE SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY OF INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT IN UNISON. THE EXAMPLES ARE ENDLESS AND THERE IS A PROBLEM, A BARRIER, A DISEASE PREVENTING US FROM EXPERIENCING LIFE AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE EXPERIENCED. THE RAMIFICATIONS OF CONTINUING IN A DIVIDED STATE ARE SERIOUS BECAUSE NOTHING DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CAN STAND.

I WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH AND TO BE HUMBLE TO ACCEPT IT BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE CAN UNITE WHAT IS DIVIDED IN ME.
