seeing deeper

My mind flips wildly~~~~
from thought to thought
so i will try to stay congruent with my flow

The law is death to us
the Bible says so
When the law was given 3,000 people died

the law gives power to sin
the Bible says so
Paul says the law revives sin in me

Now enter GRACE
Jesus is Grace the Bible says so

when the Spirit was given at Pentecost 3,000 were saved

GRACE brings life
Jesus is life

Law brings death


but we love law,the Bible says because our deeds are evil

Adam brought death,or sin into the world
Adam is a man in the image of God
Yep...Bible says so

Jesus brought life into the world,or forgiveness of sin
Jesus was a man (born of a women) He is God
i don't really need to say it,but i like to,Bible says so

So the Son of God,died for the Son of man
do you see the magnitude of the gross overpayment this was

Jesus died for the sin of the world
think about the difference in value of GOD ,Who is life, compared to man (made by God)
we seem to have trouble realizing that Jesus took away or paid for the sin of the whole world
everyone's sin is forgiven
no don't even go there...right away the carnal mind starts arguing but what about...just stop
Jesus paid for every thing, every curse disease,poverty and much much more at the cross then cried out in a loud voice, IT IS FINISHED

We have all these notions of repentance confession sincerity of belief...

that confuse the simple truth
the sin of the world was paid for at the cross

EVERYONE FORGIVEN

all we need to do is accept it, are you doing it again, just stop
all we need to do is accept it. period. agree with God that Jesus forgives your sin
and you have eternal life

GRACE

it is not about what you do it is about what HE has done

Glory in His love for you

I sooooo longed to love the Lord with all my heart, don't we all.
It alludes us, doesn't it.
It is because we aren't capable of a sustainable unchanging love.
Isn't that a little hard to swallow?
We have such unreal expectations of clay.
It is the Lord who is unchanging.
We get confused, don't we , we don't mean to.
Only Christ is unchanging...
Boast in His love for you.
That is my word to myself today.

Not Doing Nothing

The children were running about wildly crying, :"grandpa is gona chop the chickens! Grandpa is going to chop the chickens!"
I was surprised at all the excitement I didn't even know that you had to prepare a chicken, I thought you sat down and ate fried chicken. That's all my small life experience had given me.
But I knew for sure I wanted to be present for this excitement. After all these were the older cousins whom I had great respect and admiration. Running around collecting the many grand children who all lived in a small radius and there were lots of them.
I gathered around in the crowd of excited children. Ready.... expecting...
Grandpa appeared a mighty towering man of respect and adoration to all,esspecaly his many blessings, that God had graciously given to him.
He had an ax in his hand something also new to me. I lived a few miles away. A world apart from the family who literally were next door to one another, how I loved to visit in this world of blood relatives, where you were "one of them" by birth right.
Grandpa grabbed a chicken then it happened! This man who I had seen as mighty, strong and loving. Swung the chicken causing the body to twist in one swoop breaking it's neck then up on the stump in one action and the ax came down in the other hand with precision and skill the head fell to the ground with the body running wildly with no head wings flapping blood shooting, it was allot for a small girl to take in.
Children were shouting laughing with wild delight. I however, went unnoticed in my shear fright at a defenseless headless creature flailing hysterically about, headless coming towards me without reason or purpose.
I share that to share this:
Our "Work" as I now understand it is to keep our eyes on Jesus.
Those around you will think you are doing nothing.
Mary,sat at Jesus feet.
I'm sure it wasn't just Martha, who found her behavior appalling.

Martha was after all running about doing things. Important things!
There sat Mary quietly cultivating a relationship with the master no doubt she had to tune out the snide remarks made in her direction. Her "work" was to hear the Lord to know Him.
Didn't God say," This is my Beloved Son hear ye HIM". It should be so simple.
But not for clay we have to purpose to cultivate our heart and mind to be in conversation and listening to Jesus.

Right?

By sitting at Jesus feet Mary was ready for service.
When no one Else seemed to hear Him. She alone took the expensive perfume (she was criticized) to prepare Jesus for His burial. She heard Him when He said as a seed must fall to the ground so must the Son of Man. He also said as Jonah was in the belly of the whale so the Son of Man will be in the earth for three days.
She alone prepared Him.
She had purpose.
Seek ye first Gods righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.
Gods righteousness is Jesus.

Martha is such a great example also because she was the one who seemed to be "doing"good, man she was awesome. Think about it, she was preparing food the house everything that we would do, that make sense to the human mind.
She had the praise of men.

Consider this:
Martha is remembered for what?

Mary is remembered for preparing the Christ, the Son of the Living God, to do the "Work" of saving the world.

Breath of Life

For some reason unknown to me, today was a difficult day to breath. Finally I was feeling very constricted a little wheezy. I was getting nervous and just wanted to get home. I felt on the cusp of panic. Breath is so primary your body, it has it's own agenda. It's like the body goes on high alert ready to pull out it's emergency kit and take control if necessary.

It gives you a feeling of being "out" of control.

Any way today I thought wait a tic, the breath of life comes from God. What if this is a demon pestering me.
So I claimed healing and that I depend on God for my breath, that He in fact gives the breath of life!
I told my body it had to breath and that shortness of breath must leave my body.
I had essential peppermint oil and had been using it (very helpful). Anyway instead of rushing for home (my comfort zone) I continued what I was doing. I spit up a bit of phlegm ( that was a bit of relief). Finished what I was doing got in my car had a shot of peppermint water (I had made earlier).
Started for home with the windows down and the fresh air blowing.
I thanked God that He is the breath of life.I began to breath more freely and cleanly. And realized for the first time, even is there is something wrong in a persons body it can be overcome by the BREATH OF LIFE.

It's actually easy to see the power of HIS breath.
When a person is in perfect health where even an autopsy shows there was nothing wrong still they are dead.
How can that be a perfectly good body?
Because they don't have the breath of life.
God breathed into Adams nose and mouth and He became a living being!!!

Proclaim the Year of our Lord

It will come to pass
before your eyes

I am
I am

20/20 Vision

Do you like that game where the duck goes by and you squirt it with a rifle that shoots water?
If you get it just right you knock it over if your really good you get a prize, a trinket a memento of the day of fun.
Don't be that duck.
The demons have allot of fun, convincing us that we can do allot. That we are pretty smart.
I imagine the conversation with Eve went something like this:
"You can be like, God!
you can know stuff good and evil, that would be so helpful when you talk with God in the cool of the day, already isn't that the best part of the day?
Think how pleased He would be if you knew, like Him, the difference between good and evil.
You would be like God, wouldn't that make Him happy.
After all He said He would keep no good thing from You.
Look at the pretty tree, isn't it lovely, doesn't is look good,girl don't you feel hungry? Go ahead of course He wants you to have it, you know He would never want you hungry.
We don't know the exact conversation but it isn't that hard to imagine that it could have gone along those lines. Even today the Enemy deceives people into thinking good is evil and evil is good.
That it's up to us to take things into our own hands in order to please God.

That is not my point though.
My point is how easy we are distracted from what is good, Jesus said, that He is good. He is good...He is good. do you get that Jesus is good.

The only good that exists is Jesus.

I don't want to seem like a broken record but it is so difficult for us to make the mental leap.
That Jesus is our Provision, He is our righteousness, He is good.
A clay mind stumbles at the mystery that Jesus is.

We are a mom,or a wife or a working woman on and on. Because we take our identity in what we do.
We don't get that He is every thing that is good. Good does not exist with out Him.

Furthermore, He is the light of the world.
I believe it took Him three hours of death to secure eternal salvation for us. (I would not argue this point)
The earth experienced three hours of darkness, why?,because Jesus is the light of the world!
Death is not as some would believe the end of our existence, again why, because if Jesus had stopped existing the world and all therein would not exist. He created all things and in Him all things exist.

Don't get tricked by desiring the knowledge of the tree of good and evil.
realize that Jesus is the good you seek
all satisfaction all contentment is found in Jesus

There fore you don't have to be a sitting duck.
Jesus conquered the enemy.
I watch my dear husband,in a job that requires more and more year by year.
More is required but less time is given to do it.
Like Pharaoh of old required more bricks and less material. I see the enemy laughing at how difficult the circumstances have become but as long as the job is seen as our provision my dear husband is a shooting duck, to the enemy.
Once Jesus is seen (declared) as Provider, than that can change.
So I am praying for Him, to let go( hard as it may seem).
My dear husband is the sole provider for our family.
I don't see it that way though. As you might guess I see Jesus as the provider for this family.
Which to my son is madness. He thinks as any rational person would that I should go out this instant and get a job!

My job as I "see" it is to look to my provider, keep my eyes on Jesus.
I am not saying I won't get a job, Iam just saying that my work is to focus on Jesus. Not to franticly run to and fro to provide. God is Provider. I need to rest in Sabath rest to see the new thing He is doing look to my Prosperity.

Adendem

At the time that I wrote the last blog called everyday lives my husband was at a meeting. In that meeting they told him that his largest account 27 stores was going with another company at the end of the year. Furthermore they told him an audit on his work revealed that he had not properly secured some traps and that if any more were found unsecured he would be fired.
God gave a prophecy when my husband was speaking in tongues and God gave to me an interpretation as follows: Thr0ugh my husband, God was pouring out a tenfold blessing.
Also through my husband, God would give a ten fold blessing.
God, was very clear on three points :

1. ten fold blessing would come through my husband
2. it would come in a mighty way or fashion (tenfold)
3 it was through my husband and would flow to his children.

Now I have to be excited at such seemingly frightening news about the job
: Because it shows God is moving!!!

A job is not provision:God is provision

Circumstances are not reality:Jesus made everything and in Him everything exsits

When the tenfold blessing is viable tangible : we will be prosperous and people will see that it is Jesus who is provision

I have excitment in my gut, because I am seeing the visible movement of what God has said. What I have since been proclaiming:

Jesus is Provision
He became poor that we might be rich! Rejoice with me in faith. Like poor Zacharia who had to be struck dumb because he questioned the word of the Lord.
Let me not be found but Lord like Joshua or David who knew nothing is impossible with the Lord, let me be found in their company.

The Victoious: Victory is the Lords!

Everyday People

We wake up,we sleep,we eat,we void, talk,listen,in a never ending cycle we call life. Isn't it curious?
It seems pretty simple. But God understands us so Jesus gave this advice; over and over. "Fear" not. Doesn't that sound easy. "Be anxious for nothing".
Is that possible?
only to those who rest in Him

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God

In our everyday life cycle we make Him a part of everything.
Is He interested in the boring stuff of my everyday life, you might ask?
Then I'd have to ask you, if some one who counts the number of hairs on your head or thinks of you more often in one day than all the grains of sand.
Would that sound obsessive to you? Would you doubt their affection towards you.

Well, that's what He said He does. He is wild about you.

The people around you might find you annoying maybe you are. They might call you a pain in the ass, maybe you are. Seriously does it matter.
Jesus, Who created all things is wildly in love with you. You alone.

Be anxious for nothing but by talking to God let Him know what you are concerned about bring Him into the everyday cycle of your life and take your rest in Him.
Who is Sabbath Rest.

Terrorist

I think there is a good chance that I met one of the 9-11 hijackers. I was on a flight just a week or two before the attack on the twin towers. It was from Dallas to SF or Oakland I don't remember which one. I saw this young man as I was boarding and he was so handsome. I could not help but say to him, you are extremely hansom. He seemed to be flattered. Anyway we became engrossed in conversation. He was a devout Muslim. Extremely committed, it seemed ever fiber of His being was committed to His beliefs. While I told him I could not help but admire his commitment that he should consider that he could be wrong. He on the other hand found it profoundly disturbing that I had a faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. He simple could not understand what, I think, he saw as unfathomable. He was engaged and curious yet unyielding. He said he had come from Packastan. I senced that he felt a superiourity and yet was engaged and respectful. Still he found my beliefs to be simplistic and wrong(my thinking). Latter after 9-11 when I spoke to someone over the phone I think was from the FBI, they said that the ones sent here were often very handsome. Latter when I was in colledge the professers would speak of how America was a bully and these 9-11 attackers were dirt poor and unable to make a proper decision on whether or not to attack America the oppressor.(not in those exact words) I however have learned in the years since that the hijackers were mostly from rich and prosperouse familys with much advantage. But why would position matter anyway, when is it ever possible that you would kill inocent civilians and not be at war and be justified? Do you get that. Their enemy is anyone who does not belive in Islamic Fundimentalism and therfore deserving of Jihad. Jihad: a God who demands death to those who will not worship Him. Think of the God of this world, Satan. By defenition Satan has come to kill mame and destroy useing deception. Don't you think Eve hatted herself for taking the forbiden fruit then giving it to Adam. Adam proble brough that up a few times. God told them she would have a son who would bring Salvation. I imagin that she thought that first boy,Cain was the "One". I bet the world at that time believed he was the "one". Think of how many people were fed by his amazing garden. He was"the man". Everyone prouble looked up to him the first born son. The first baby. He must have believed it himself, because he did not see a need to sacrifice a lamb. And when God was pleased with his little brothers sacrifice. He became angry and rose up and killed his brother. hummm... who said the more things change the more they stay the same. So, I seek you Lord to show the TRUTH in these last days. Keep deception from our eyes. Let us be found like Mary,sitting at your feet. Open the eyes of those who like our mother Eve are decieved and teach us how, give us the strength, to lift you up. Because You said if i be lifted up I will draw all men unto me.

Ordinary

God knows that we live ordinary lives. The dishes need washed the food needs prepared. We have to organize papers clean study. We have to drive places and on and on. Jesus did all these things (not drive) but if there were cars, Jesus would have gotten a drivers license insurance all that is required. Then we could have ran into him at the gas station filling up His car. He was a man. It seems like fun imagine, "Hey, Jesus what are you doing today?" "Well,I have a job their remodeling the hospital putting in a new cancer wing. Oops, having said that, He probable would not get that job because there would be no patients at least not if they asked Him to heal them. Any way I hope you can see that we don't live on some "nether plain" like a movie script. We live ordinary lives. In an extraordinary God. In Him we live and we have our being. Each day is still an ordinary day but we spend the day the moments with Jesus, still very ordinary. There is no magic gene or lamp to rub at our will, no we have a relationship a God who knows what it is to walk,talk do dishes and ordinary things. He knows what rejection feels like. When you go to your child's on line album and it says "family" but your not there. Your grandchild writes about their family and your not mentioned. He knows what that feels like. Whether or not it's fair, is beside the point He knows what that feels like. The other day my grandchild was embarrassed of me, it didn't feel that great (not that I blame them)we live in a culture of conformity. Still I could find my comfort in knowing Jesus even at that moment is wild about me. You don't have to have approval of others (even family) when you look at Jesus. I am not saying it feels good to get rejection, it does not. I am saying you can never look into Jesus eyes and see disappointment regrets disdain if you are His child, it is not possible. He only has love. Say this: in the eyes of Jesus is only love for me. Oh say it. It is true! You who have chosen the blood of Jesus are clean are new! You are loved. You are in Christ. "This is my beloved, my pride and joy hear Him"! Speak this truth in Christ there is no possibility of condemnation. Oh there is no bounds to His love for His ordinary child.

Forskin and pleasure

Circumcision was part of the law. I talked with my great aunt and she told me"when the man isn't circumcised it is better. I have been to told that before. I understood it to mean that by exposing skin the penis becomes less sensitive. She said I have had two husbands one circumcised one not and let me tell you when it's uncircumcised I don't know what it is but it gets the job done. Then I understood that it was more pleasurable to the woman. I asked God what was that about. You see He thought up circumcision a visible sign of the contract between Him and His chosen. But that is inconsistent to what I see in Christ, He never diminishes pleasure for His children always is increase. Then He showed me a mystery. He is the groom and the bride is the church. When law was all we had the covenant of God with His people Israel the law brought condemnation. The law was death you had to sacrifice animals and forgiveness was determined by a year temporal forgiveness. One year. Then the next the Priest had to go into the Holy of Holyies and besides that there were other sacrifices it was an unending circle of continionus confession. Now when Christ came He fulfilled the law now we come to God by His blood which gives eternal forgiveness. You can see that, by the fact Christ arose from the dead and sat down at the right hand of the Father. A finished work. Today we should not be circumsied because the vail was rent in two the contract is fulfilled!We have eternal forgiveness. The bride recieves the full pleasure. The Bride can not be condemed. We need to take on the mind of Christ and let go of the law and grow in the grace and knowledege of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Every knee shall bow

When we die we come into an awareness, the deceptions and confusions that cloud the mind are gone. We come into an indisputable awareness that Jesus Christ is Lord. It becomes clear that He in fact make all things and that nothing exsits unlless He Created it! Every knee will bow either on the way to Heaven or Hell. It is not a question. God is. We do have a choice to bow the knee now and recieve the Lord Jesus a Saviour to acknoledege the TRUTH of Who He is today and recieve Eternal life. But make no mistake you will either in this life or the life to come Bow your knee and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Chose life!

His Greatness of His Power

We need enlightened to see that we who have accepted Christ blood
have been given power. Exceeding great power to us, in Christ. This power is the power that raised Christ from the dead. Don't as I did for years gloss over this truth. The power that raised Christ from the dead and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places. That power. Has been given to us. It is far above principality, dominion,in this world and the world to come. Do I understand this, how can I. This is beyond awesome. We have been given uncomprehending power.Rise up Oh child of God claim by faith this power that over comes.Praise be to Jesus Who is and was and is to come. Lord I accept this power that raised you from the dead and conquered death. You are the Victor, my Risen Lord. I accept the power you give to me. Lord I believe help Thou my unbelief.
