Personality

I don’t know if this is revelation or imagination, but I want to write it down to contemplate.

When I took upon myself a body and came into this world, I also took upon myself a persona, or personality, which is not my true identity. God descended in the form of Jesus, “made of a woman” and also came into this world, taking upon Himself a persona and experiencing all the emotions of that persona, just as we do—so that He could take it to the death of the cross, thus destroying all persona (the devil) to free us from the bondage that we came into by fearing the death of that persona, since, in our true identity (which is the Christ) we can never die and therefore needn’t fear death.

Hebrews 2:14   Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

What Do I See?

My consciousness is what I am aware of, what I see. And that is precisely what I experience. I can have either a human consciousness or a God consciousness—coming either from the carnal mind (which is no mind at all, but rather false beliefs in good and evil and in separation from God) or the Christ mind (which everyone has but may not be aware of). In the Christ mind is the expectation of only that which is harmonious and wonderful. Paul calls it the fruit of the Spirit:

Who Am I?

I am the son of the living God (Romans 8:16; 1John 3:2). I am God’s offspring (Acts 17:28-29), born of His Word (1Peter 1:23). I am the original creation, in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26). I am (in my true identity) not a person (personality); I am Spirit (Ephesians 4:4-6), one with my Father (John 10:30; John 17:21). I have the mind of Christ (1Corinthians 2:16). I have been given dominion over all creation (Genesis 1:26).

“Think Not”–“Think On”: The Parable of the Sower

Today I heard the inner voice telling me to stop analyzing ANYTHING, that this constant over-thinking is robbing me of the peace Jesus has freely given. Jesus taught us to take no thought about the things we think most about. As I am constantly listening to the still small voice of Spirit, I am to do and say what I FEEL to do and say as a result of what I’m hearing, not what I THINK I should do and say.

Be Still and Know that I Am God

Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

About three days ago I received a call from a friend of mine concerning a call she had received from a mutual friend of ours. This friend was in the hospital where she had contracted one of those dreadful infections that people sometimes get when they are in the hospital, one from which few people recover. She was sure that she was about to die and was very unsure that she would be with God when she left this realm. Of course she was very tormented by these thoughts.

Flesh

Our first response to the word “flesh” is usually negative. We remember Paul’s list of the works of the flesh (which we want no part of) and his conclusion that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19 (KJV):21). He tells us that flesh and blood (which he refers to as corruption) cannot inherit the kingdom of God (1Corinthians 15:50) and goes on to say that if we walk after the flesh rather than after the Spirit (Romans 8:1,4-5) we shall die, but if, through the Spirit, we mortify the deeds of the body we shall live (Romans 8:13). He readily acknowledges that in my flesh dwelleth no good thing (Romans 7:18).

God Omnipotent

There is but one power in the universe —God Omnipotent (all-power). And that power is exercised through man, made in the image and likeness of God and given dominion (Genesis 1:26). It manifests what appears to be either good or evil, according to what is in the consciousness of man (individually and collectively); but it is all the same power —God power. There is no evil power independent of man which is opposing God and which God (or man) must overcome.

The New Jerusalem

Revelation 21:1-8  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
