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.

The Trinity that Is You
This is in no way meant to be a doctrinal treatise on the meaning of the trinity (which, by the way, is never mentioned in the Bible, just in theological literature about the Bible), but rather a way of looking at ourselves in relation to God. When not capitalized, the word trinity
means a group of three.
Love Never Fails
I awakened this morning to words of freedom. I understood that to live in the kingdom of heaven we have to be free ourselves and set everyone else free. That is the love that never fails 1Corinthians 13:8. As long as there is condemnation for myself or for another, I am not free and I cannot love.
The Dream (Part 1)
I awakened this morning at 6:00 from a very vivid dream wherein I was most apprehensive about a play that I was about to perform in but for which I was not prepared. I didn’t know my lines at all. It was certainly going to be disastrous. Of course I was immensely relieved when I awakened and recognized that it was only a dream and had no reality. I knew inside that what I had just experienced had spiritual significance. So I got out of bed and lay down under an infrared dome to listen. I’ve had many revelations while lying under that dome, including the one contained in the contemplation Ten Righteous Men.

The Strength of Sin Is the Law
1Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
As I was meditating before getting out of bed this morning, listening to the still small voice inside, I was once again made aware of what a major role the law is still playing in my life. I was asking God to show me why it is still so difficult for me to accept the abundant life Jesus came to reveal to us—not a life that we must attain to, but one that is already there for recognition and acceptance, the life that Jesus called the kingdom of heaven that is within everyone.
One Thing Is Needful
Luke 10:38-42 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Choose LIFE (Part 2)
When I awakened this morning, I was hearing the voice of God inside continuing to speak to me about choosing LIFE. I realized that there was more that I wanted to say on the subject. My first impulse was to toss what I had written yesterday and start over. I knew that would require lots of work on my part. Then I remembered that I am choosing LIFE as I let God perform that which He has given me to do (Job 23:14), for
The Kingdom of God Is Within
- Luke 17:20-21 )
- And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
