Counterfeits Not Accepted

Warning: Subversive to the Religious Mind. Reader discretion is advised.

I think one clear sign of a man having entered Spiritual Maturity is that inferior expressions of God's image lose their appeal.

Take, for instance, the image of an emaciated (or overweight), hurt and confused run-away Prince sitting under the sanctuary of the Tree. He sits there, observing things, until suddenly stricken with pang after pang of covetous envy at how innocently and joyfully well-fed his neighbors were.
This free-joy of theirs demonstrated the presence of universal worth before God, which was surprising to the skinny-fat young prince, since they'd then appeared quite a bit better off than he did, and this though they'd been far less materially prosperous than his own personal "lineage" in the eyes of "the world" had afforded him the "privilege" of considering himself. Uh oh!

Seeing their greater enjoyment of all this freely-given universal joy, even in the absence of the trappings to which he'd formerly belonged, opened his magical forehead eye to speculate concerning the purpose of his witness. He reasoned about the enduring nature of things that are internal, as oppossed to the passing nature of external things. He witnessed fullness and joy in these people who had none of what he'd been given materially. They were more inwardly whole than he, though he was considered as having been as a prince. He was humbled by these paupers in the wilderness, existing just as they are, poor but happy!

This sense of some kind of "universal balance" in the justice he witnessed inspired him to coin phrases that'd later define a religion. He described the way of the universe's operator, according to the lense of his own personal witness, as a dance between joy and mourning (or life and death, pleasure or suffering, or whatever else fit his duality's double-mindedness.) This fortune cookie level concept of God's way was enough of an insight to blow his ignorantly rich spoiled-brat brain and spurred in him a renewed confidence in his own right to get up, dance, and enjoy a meal with the dancy poor-folk!

He'd endorse his own religion......but in moderation of course.. wouldn't wanna get all "imbalanced" compared to the dancy poor folk and end up feeling guilty and condemned, sitting uselessly under the zen tree again! .....Booo? Hooo? Duh! This same teaching has the same effect today no matter who teaches it. Zen, Ben, Uncle Glen... Like Chinese delivery, it tastes good and is somewhat filling, but no matter where you order it from, it leaves you emptier than it did before.

Let's just say, a real man's image of God isn't a prince sitting thoughtfully under a tree (sorry educational and religious systems). A REAL man's image of God is a KING not sitting under a tree but HANGING FROM ONE in demonstration of His love for His Father, His Country, His People, and His Bride!

So yeah. Buddah's skinny fat ass can go sit on a skittle; He can't compete with Jesus, no not even a little! -f #worldreligion101 #universaltitle #noholdsbarred

No Badong!

Humanity being forgiven of every action it's ever taken in ignorance of our true identity means the bad things we've seen and heard people do as human-beings no longer define us! We are defined the God-Kind; We're defined by His articulate and skillful engineering of our design and our redemption. God's own righteous response to every bad thing ever done in the whole of His creation that is today defines us; God's own crucifixion on behalf of the misdeeds of the entire human race is what today defines us!

Being forgiven of every ignorant action that's ever been taken in our bodies means that our bodies are now freed from the harvest of our wrong actions! We're finally freed from a negative expectation to reap the harvest of a deed sown by the flesh, because in Him, we are in the Spirit. We're completely freed by the continual harvest of His Righteous Action on our behalf! Today, we can all afford to stand before God in a sinless condition, as Holy Ones having never performed any action inconsistent with God's own image and likeness. How can this all be? How can He call us things our own actions don't give Him permission to call us? How can we underestimate such big news?

God, being holy, would never endorse wrong acts or perform in the likeness of sinful human behavior, however, having never performed the admittedly sinful action of eating the fallen fruit from the Garden of Eden, ever human being still suffered the same deadly consequence of the one who did. Frankly, what the one above you says about you goes. As long as you're under that one's house, you're under that one's rules whether we rebel against them or not, those rules measure and define us. Disobeying the rules defines us as disobedient and causes the measure of our righteousness to decrease, while obeying the rules defines us as obedient and increases the measure of our righteousness by our own actions.

Far superior to this, as Sons in this same house we'd once been as servants in, One righteous action that was performed on our behalf, without our permission, already redeemed our perfect identity before God for all eternity! Likewise, having obviously never performed the righteous action of dying on behalf of all mankind's sins, we're all equally freed from the fallen condition put into place before us of being defined by a life defined as one falling short of being the Son of God.

That we are the Sons of God is without question. He created and defined us in Him from the beginning and no wrong action or misdeed committed by man or angelic being could ever undue the truth of what He'd already determined and known from the beginning as truth! This means that if any human behavior now defines us, it's God own human behavior of redeeming us through Jesus Christ.

It's that righteous human behavior of Jesus giving His life to redeem our Sonship in God that now defines us. The innocence of the One endorsing our innocence before God forever defines us now, and it is not an innocence of our own production. Because of the gift of innocence, it doesn't leave us with anything to boast in or exalt our own selves by. In fact, anything that doesn't come from a place of innocence distances mankind from the knowledge of the radiance of His glory, and the behaviors consistent with being guilty or having a guilty-conscience have today become ugly to us and grieve us.

You see, all the ways of guilt have lost their appeal to us, and whatever image of ourselves that the guilty actions of the flesh defined was indeed "bad" and "wrong" compared to the truth that God unveiled His righteousness in us and associating us with the Highest in Himself, He broke our association with everything "less-than." Unless it's perfectly good, it's lost it's appeal. -f #nobadong

His Innocence Becomes Her

Their proving her violation of their Law did not justify any judgments against her, because it was their "Law" itself that had an offense committed against it. Their law had been offended, not necessarily they themselves.

Had they agreed with the Law, consented to it, willingly submitted their hearts and minds to it and knew themselves only in accordance with it's words, seeing these words as though they were alive and living, obliging to them as to a loving parent, helplessly consumed and hopelessly dependent on the heart and soul of it's voice... Thanking the source and author of these words for it's impact on their lives, as thanking the Spirit for life itself...

Had they seen obedience to the words of their Law as their sole-source-- as the initiator, maintainer, and the defender of their social and economic abundance and provision, if they'd credited their faithful allegiance to their Law as being the stable source of every needful provision in their lives, seeing the hope contained in the substance of the Law's words as protection and security in life, as an enduring shelter in the midst of every storm. I promise you this, had they attributed every good thing in their lives and every shred of their confidence in their nation, themselves, and put their confidence in the future fulfillment of every good hopes into the complete satisfaction and perfect fulfillment of THIS Law... THIS Law of which I speak would be, to them, as a rich agricultural field containing an even richer hidden treasure under it's surface compared to which the riches of field literally pale in comparison.

What I'm saying is that had they literally been the incarnation of their Law-- if they were sustained and nourished by it as one is by their daily bread, and were joyfully intoxicated by it as one would be by a cool smoke coupled with fine wine. If they saw their Law as being the express image of Perfection itself, and defined perfection as the "perfect" fulfillment of THAT Law-- If it's satisfaction is all that mattered to them. If like a clingy child to it's beloved parent, it mattered more to them than ANYTHING else. If they were so shamelessly obsessed with it that even the law-abiding, law-executing, sinless angels of Heaven appear relatively resistant, unsure and even borderline non-compliant in comparison to the extreme degree of unprecedented devotion to this law on display in them.

Unless everything I described above about those whose devotion to the Law are undivided, a statement from a man who claims, "You violated my law!" wouldn't necessarily equate to "You've violated ME!" Unless the person accusing were himself personally offended by the violation of that Law, as if he himself WERE that law, He'd have no authority to execute on the law's behalf. Unless he were himself a faithful servant of the law, how could he dare to pretend to be an administrator of the law's demand for justice?

How could someone who himself exists in violation of the Law by standing against the very ones the Law exists to SERVE, even hope to pass himself off as a Servant of the Law or as an Administrant of it's Justice? Even the Law itself exists only in service to the PURPOSE of the Law. How then could someone who ignores the Law's purpose ever be mistaken as a legitimate legal authority? You could buy a cop outfit from a costume shop or a party-city, but if you try executing the legal authority represented by your outfit without having been officially recognized by that authority to legally execute on it's behalf, if you literally go to arrest someone without having been given explicit authority to do so, it doesn't matter if you're literally wearing your twin-brother's cop uniform, the "arrest" is only as strong as the authority that's doing the arresting. You may fool the eyes of men, but as the Seven Sons of the Jewish High Priest would testify, that doesn't really amount to much.

This topic is still as relevant on Earth as it's always been in Heaven. How could an entity that literally stands to benefit from violations of the Law, ever hope to pass itself off as a legitimate servant of the Law's purpose? At what point does the organization whose modus operandi is the absolution of some threat themselves become threatened by the hope of the fulfillment of it's own purpose? At what point do they knowingly rebel against their own cause and perpetuate and manage something it'd been officially established in order to destroy! At what point does a Father actively work against his daughter leaving the nest?

If there's someone who is out there profiting as a result of what is stripped from those who've been rightly counted guilty as a result of every time they violate and transgress the Law's commands; If there are people out there who await occasions to bring violations of the Law and accusations concerning the short-comings of others to the attention of the Head Minstrant of Justice, and if the one who Judges is perpetually approached as-if nothing would please him more than to be informed of any infractions of his laws so that He could punish and reprimand the violates, and if they continually mistake him as one who would for some reason enjoy being reminded of the penalties any infractions of His law enable him to execute. If they mistake him as itchy to press the red button and rain down hell-fire and if they count punishment against humans as the objective of the penalties described by the law as being attributed to humans behaving out of accords with it, I'll tell you something that'll just have to make due... Every punishment ever attributed to any action in violation of any one of God's righteous ways or holy laws was completely absorbed by the One man Jesus Christ on behalf of all mankind in His name.

If there are people who out there who still revel in keeping track of violations Love's Law and are calling exclusively for a response of condemnation, denying our capacity to forgive and absolve, insisting only on condemnation yet rejecting the sufficiency of the condemnation already absorbed on behalf of every violator by the gracious sacrifice of Jesus as God's lamb, and if people are still out there promoting the knowledge of good and evil as the only appropriate response, that's like a dude trying to hide his Adam's apple, or like a snake trying hide it's lisp. I'm not buyin it guys... a SEVERE suspension of disbelief would be required, the children of the day and the children of the night are plain as day to distinguish between, thas all I'm sayin.

There've been instances when having personally taken no offense at some action, comment, or gesture some body among us was offended at, and because of the relative importance we placed upon this one's satisfaction and continued esteem, we've likewise taken positions against others. We didn't take these positions in response to our offenses or compelled by own personal initiative, but only in response to the initiative of the one above us whose esteem and satisfaction we hope to remain recipients of.

If our innocence is dependent upon our blameless standing according to the law of the owner and master of the house we live in, then we are not counted sons or heirs of the master whose house we live in. The only acceptable explanation of this, seeing as though we are indeed sons and heirs of God, would of course be that for as long as the heir is still a child or a minor, he differs nothing from a slave. So to everyone sick and tired of living like a slave in a house you're actually the owner of, God's public announcement of our mature sonship is a MAJOR deal.

Jesus' Resurrection was YOUR Bar Mitzvah

On discovering that we are co-owners of the universe, we're no longer subject to rules, laws, and limitations of created beings. Our Creator's reveal of Himself as our Father gave us a position now revealed as having been established above the reach of the created order. Yeah-Boyeee!

What distracts us from this? People out there complaining about their so-called offenses. Remember, there was not one among them who had been personally "offended" by anybody's offenses of the "Law" of Love and had they been, they would have responded to an occasion to blame as if it were an occasion to forgive, and would endorse your enjoyment of the same righteous and blameless innocence as those who've never committed any such offense against them. But seeing as how they're calling for punishment, judgement, and your service of what you're obliged to perform on their behalf, they prove the offense they voiced was only of the Law itself. One who would accept you performing for them out fear and obligation is of an inferior standard than the one who would rather only accept that which comes from you freely, without guilt, without manipulation or demands, coercion, or pressure

If the offense taken against you was in response to an offense of the Law, then from the Giver of the Law do you require forgiveness. Who else would have innocence before the Law, and if they don't have innocence before the Law they're condemning you for violating, does their condemnation matter? And if they say they forgive you, but do not have innocence before the Law, by what power are they able to extend to you the experience of innocence before the law? They can give you innocence before THEM, but before the law? That's out of their authority and the shit they flung on you out of their capacity to atone for or remove on your behalf. Someone owing you something loses relevance when they having nothing to give. You might not think God owes you forgiveness, but that loses relevance when you realizes that no one else has any legitimate legal-forgiveness for you to give!

Who would be offended at someone for offending someone ELSE? Would a man be offended at a comedian for offending his wife or girlfriend? How deep would that offense really be? In a practical sense, the Law is a some-ONE and not a some-THING.

The some-ONE (Jesus Christ) was crucified for our freedom from some-THING (The Law of God)

We're forgiven of everything that could ever possible offend Jesus.

As for the things that may possibly offend your wife or girlfriend? Well.. Brother I'll pray for you. :-p -f

The Meta View

Being conscious of what makes something dis-satisfactory won't detract from your desire to engage it. Restrictions, limitations, criticisms, snide remarks and negative advertising are all worthless; their words may make people feel one way or another about what they do, but they're totally powerless to change what's being done. Only our understanding guides us, we aren't led by bit and bridle but from within by a conversation steered by our knowledge of the truth.

That something is beneath you does nothing to break the attraction of it's appeal unless you are firstly known as from above. Hating or tagging negative labels won't detract from their appeal until knowing our own selves apart from them. Have we ever seen ourselves apart from those false and temporal labels? Do we recognize where we end and those labels begin?

Jesus sees you freed by God from every distorted, inferior word, label, or expression in life because only Life's creator defines Him, and His name is in you without flaw.

You can only see what it is you see in Him, because you inwardly know He sees the same in you. His reflection upon the still waters of our hearts is what defines us. His form is the shape of our hearts like a key, unlocking His latent image in us from within, He declares the universal end of latency.

Being kept aware of the disadvantages of things below is useless when below is where we still consider ourselves to be, but being kept in the awareness of the greater satisfaction offered by something else, something from above, something fit from God's meta-view of You, delicacies of the preferred variety, breaks the hold of the old!

The new lover of spontaneity in us overpowered the old slave of the rule of human routine. Normality and being common is an insult to God in us; we are decidedly peculiar and unique, according to the pattern of our Maker's design! #metaview

Buff Jesus

"For physical training is of some value, but godliness (spiritual training) is of value in everything and in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and for the life to come." -1 Timothy 4:8

What good are muscles when the storms and floods of life sweep by? When smiles turn to glares and our senses no longer confirm cause for hope in being loved-- What hope is there in the external world when our inner-mind's occupied with distracting conditions of the life the world associates with the human flesh.

What good is the world's intimacy when the pain of separation of our Perfect Father distances you from the completeness of your inner person? 

Cross-fit won't overpower the circumstances that leave our souls robbed of any viable evidence of being loved any longer. When memorized sayings, quotations, and love-songs of the world are all totally useless when the promise of our inclusion in the good of life is in question-- When we're in the depths of the darkest nights, treading in old, slippery places where our feet can find no ground up which to stand, He causes us remain standing. Even when senses haven't confirmed it and in places where not even a single rock of the old foundation of our lives remains, when hope seems lost-- God is on our Side.

What we know of Him and the strength His conviction in our place is the spiritual treasure that makes our heart so valuable that we protect it above everything else. The Word that we've come to know and discover ourselves as the eternal recipients and heirs of, is the rock-solid truth of Life that He unveiled in Himself, filling our hearts in a way that totally saves us. On the rock of His teaching, we're standing firm even when the shifting of the tides leave me no way to regain our stance and recoil back up above the surface of the cold and love-less waters that swallowed me whole and hid from me the Divine Radiance of my own face... the strength of Him in me yet remained, and He saved me.

This strength was not there by accident but by design. What saved me was not the glory I'd built in my own name, but my deliverance from the old name and everything in it by His Grace's association of Himself with me and the NEW name that His association confers upon me, a name enduring even in the presence of contradictions and the most trying times. Indeed, it's God's faith we all depend on above any other, a fact most evident when even without any sense of a reason to rest in our ourselves, the seed of the hope of God in us remains and His resurrection already neutralized and overthrew every definition that death ever had in us.

His own personal name forever references His containment of all we are and all we have.

In His name, the seed of God's faith in us remains alive and strong. His name continues to completely define us. His name has always been all about fully containing all that we are and all we have, and establishing our security in heaven. God announced that in Jesus He has already saved and completely backed us up in Himself in Heaven, forever.

So as the image of Christ is Himself fully-formed in my mind's eye and my soul is awakened to the completeness of His likeness in me, I'm grateful for the security of His power over us. -f

Written in the Stars

The very Logic upon which humanity and all creation is based, built, and established, is now incarnate and alive again after death. He died for sin He did not commit. In that, He proclaims our total redemption from the sin we DID commit. In the same breath, He unveils His own official announcement of our Divine Sonship, and He did so from Eternity, even from before space and time began!

As first alluded to in the message written in... the stars by the very Hand of God Himself, who alone flung space into it's exact place and time, persuading us even more convincingly of the truth by words He Himself articulated, a message mirrored again in the whole of human history itself, recording it in a message further elucidated and confirmed by scriptures written in blood by saints, scriptures that put us in context and announced God's destiny for us as having already been fully accomplished for us by His Son Jesus, in whom He Himself lived and died on behalf of all mankind, thereby defining us in Himself.

Because of the destiny He already accomplished on behalf of every man, we've all been freed to enter His own personal rest! His Innocent Life is now in us, defining us, keeping us alive as He is on Earth, exactly as He is in Heaven.

Just like in the beginning, we are, as His word made flesh, together face to face with God. Immersed in a reality created and sustained by His own living purpose, we're together living only by the power of what's been accomplished by Him on our behalf.

Adam Chose Death, but Jesus Chose Life

The only reason people die is that they don't know better, and the reason they don't know better is because their parents didn't know no better neither... and their parents, represented by our collective fore-father Adam, who first failed to exhibit the glorious radiance of the mirror-image of God as a man. When he lost sight of the mirror reflection of His face, he disengaged his own capacity to radiate and exhibit the image for which His frame was designed.

The Word was in the beginning face to face with God. In this way, the Word WAS God. When we lost sight of our face-to-face equality with God in Sonship, the slippery slope and dyer climb of fallen glory erupted and ensued. Our fathers, unleashing this upon the Earth, knew no better. What was done in ignorance, God Himself suffered the final and complete consequence of that misdeed in order to remedy. By this action, He repaired the tear in our time-space reality and knitted us together with Heaven once more. He unveiled that He never lost sight of our sonship (though we lost sight of Him). Even when we felt forsaken, Our Father was there.

Always loving, always guiding, never changing, and even in the face of a law put into effect by Angels in response to true and righteous words He Himself had spoken, a law that condemned the actions of mankind, actions that had come to define them in their own eyes and therefore rendered them disobedient before God. It took the great execution of the cross in order for God to be able to separate US from the SYMPTOM of Sin and Death.

Jesus, free from sin and death, ruling over and having authority over both, proves mankind's continued adoption by God Himself. God Himself even raised Jesus up after swallowing the entire world's sins all at once and dissolving them into Himself and becoming the image of the serpent on the cross... If even that most severe contradiction, and the death that followed were not enough to limit God's expression of His love for His human Son... If in our most disfigured form, God recognized His image in us and parted the Heavens, reversing death itself and raising us in Jesus's return to life, so that we can enjoy the benefits of His eternal reign from Heaven as God in the flesh. So how could we ever again consider ourselves subject to sin or death before God?

We're subject only to His Lord and Son. Before God, we are subject to and enslaved to an entire eternity of being loved by Him in Sonship! So what our fathers failed to exhibit to us, and we therefore failed to realize, God our Heavenly Father exhibited to us in the person of Jesus Christ and He's declared what we've all failed to realize, which is that He's realized this in us on our behalf. We're welcome. -f

Hidden Gems!

I like songs sung with ecstasy as well as with understanding. The spirit and the word are one, but the word's complete containment and perfect expression of the spirit is what made it possible for us to connect and share the Truth! So without obligation, we engage our thoughts and apply our hearts, engaging the moment in the sobriety of spiritual certainty. No obligation, like seeds falling into the fertile-soil of a touched-heart or an open-mind. There it produces a harvest many times over and beyond the number of seeds sown. Putting the understanding of our Source on display displaces ignorance! It's how we shine together noticing that emotions do indeed pass. No matter how firmly held or rigorously protected or prescribed, everything attached to a temporary condition, along with the circumstances that produced them, has totally passed away. Everything, is temporal and has no further relevance beyond time, except of course the one enduring constant, which is, what God Himself believes. What God Himself believes has never been foreign to us, though we'd been foreign to it. Like a mystery unveiled, everything in all creation came as a result of the Word, which had been spoken by Him on Earth through Jesus, . When we see this moment and everything in us as produced only by the Word God Spoke in Jesus, we're no longer seen in a partial context, but in light of God. Whatever God has expressed about man as His son, every detail about Him contained and expressed in His life on Earth, is true of God and is equally true in His Son. His present life in Heaven is mirrored in my eternal life on Earth. His will for our bodies sustains us imperishable before Him for all time. Sleep is the deadest anyone in Him will ever be; never let sleep outstay it's warm welcome. It's always a perfect moment to arise and shine, since light has come! -f

Jesus is what God knew about Job that the Accuser could not see. As it's written, "which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified." And that the glory only by the Love of God be seen (thereby excluding the one who condemns from the privilege of ever gazing upon or comprehending Him), "'What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him -- " and again, "The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." and finally, "'Happy the clean in heart -- because they shall see God." along with the assurance that this "cleanliness" is defined by the presence of a pure faith, free from error or impurities, mature, complete, whole, devoid of human reasoning, reliant upon God without any cause for doubts or suspicion, "let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ's blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water."

His Word proclaimed in us the faith that is the knowledge of God Himself that He possesses concerning His being in His Son, namely, that He is Good, that He is without flaw and Totally Just, and that He is the Complete Justification of the eternal existence of every being whose own personal beliefs have concluded in His Faith. 

"but that the world may know that I love the Father, and according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence." -f

It didn't matter whether we did the same glorious deeds Jesus did, He was glorified as the representative of all mankind! His grace overpowered His accusation, just as The Son superseded The Servant as mankind's sole representative in the sight of God! -f

 "There are many things for me to say and judge concerning you, but he who has sent me is true, and those things that I have heard from him, these things I am speaking in the world.” -John 8:26

t didn't matter whether we were guilty of Adam's sin, all of Adam's offspring still died Adam's death. It also didn't matter whether we were worthy of being redeemed as God's Sons, His being our Father still meant our inheriting Jesus' righteousness! All of God's offspring fully inherited His eternal life.... it's science :-p #zoe -f

What's the difference between the old-man and God? They can both tell you the right way to do something, but only one has the strength to perform it! Jesus described them by the way that, "They tie up burdens that are heavy and unbearable and lay them on people's shoulders, but they refuse to lift a finger to remove them." What's the use of knowing how to do something, but being powerless to ever do it? What good is storming into your Boss's office with stock-piles of complaints, if not to highlight your value to the organization by taking it upon yourself to personally reconcile every matter yourself, if only the Boss give his approval, backing your initiative with His authority. Those who esteem such teachers as these follow after them, immediately taking after their form and likeness but those who esteem such a God as "I Am" comes immediately into the embrace of His ability (and authority) to be as He is in us, recognizing that what is True in Him must be equally True in us. -f

Whatever deed a man could ever be made guilty as a result of having done or  presently committing. Whatever a man could be accused of, whatever would cause a man to be ashamed, judged, punished, imprisoned, or executed... ALL of us were COMPLETELY forgiven of! We were EACH totally forgiven of every flaw in God's eyes when Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and the entire "human" race was reborn: The Children of God. #newbirth #goodnews

That it's GOD Himself loving you, seeing you holy, righteous, without a flaw, blameless & innocent-- is most strongly known in those moments when most others, and even our own minds seem to entirely disagree. -f #invisiblelover

The law was just an excuse sin used to KILL us, but God's Grace disarmed sin and defeated the LIE that He endorsed death! -f

Unveiling the New Demolishes the Old

The value they show my thoughts is the value they show ME, which is the value they believe I show them.

Because I am at one with my thoughts, how could anyone who values my thoughts ever expect to be anything less than at one with me?

How can someone at one with my thoughts ever expect me to feel anything but oneness with them, along with the sense of holding like-value in their eyes?

Religion says you don't HAVE to value any of my thoughts, except they first be translated and repackaged in accords with whatever views were previously held concerning what it is that I reveal. A new order isn't something authorities of the old order willingly concede to, so the old is removed to make place for the new.

Just the announcement of the new has already brought the old to an end. The unveiling of the new was the announcement of the old's end. Whatever is impartial, incomplete, immature, or imperfect fades in glory and  passes away  from our attention. The new is what rises to the top.

The former things, already obsolete, may yet have defenders . Those in defense of the old are mainly those who've for so long seen themselves as having been advantaged as a result of things being the old way. These are they who fear great loss of clout, authority, prestige, notoriety and wealth will inevitably follow the establishment of the new over them. These rebels, allegiant to the old, contentiously persist in it's contrary speech against the messengers of the new. In many guises, some entertaining, some irritating, many in the guise of teachers of morality and loud denouncers of excess, selfishness, and vain living. The messengers of the old always hope to show up and revive a context by which it'd be possible to degrade and call into question the reliability of the messengers of this faultless message.

As unattractive and horrid as martyrdom may be, and as unnecessary as it today is, having already accomplished it's purpose through the lives of those chosen by God for that purpose, men who sent us letters announcing the new, and who signed those letters in their blood. Men with the ability and the authority to overpower death, who instead willingly entered the belly of the whale, the furnace, and the lions den in demonstration of their faith. The new has been announced in a language louder than words.

Those who've believed the message themselves prove the message, as the message is incarnate in them. Yet, the message is true apart from those who believe it so that even those who do not believe are equally included in it. The destruction of a messenger of truth doesn't even scratch Truth's cheek. So the old order, bible in hand, seek to exploit mankind's ignorance of their redeemed innocence as a result of the obedience of the one, but pointing out the guilt that follows as a result of the disobedience of another. God demonstrates His foreknowledge in that the obedience of the one SUPERSEDES and erases the significance of the disobedience of the other, as the obedience of the one included the all.

Whoever the representative of the old may be, and however attractive their fading glory may be: We've got more behind us that he's got ahead of him. -f

Getting The Point

Just as God separated soul from spirit and His children from the custodianship of their natural parents, we now enjoy in Him a reference to ourselves that displaces even the most glorious images of ourselves we've ever held. Any standing we've ever attained or hoped to attain in the mind of men on Earth is displaced by what's held in the mind of God in Heaven.

As for those people on Earth who've always legitimately esteemed us as highly as humanly possible, the ones celebrating us and loving us even to the same extent that they love their own selves, though there be no greater love than this, and these are indeed our brothers and our sisters, it still remains that it's only God Himself who occupies the sole and exclusive rank of being our Parent Reference.

What good things our brothers and sisters believe of us have weight only because their words are being backed by God's saying and believing the same! So each member of every family in Heaven and on Earth concedes to the position of authority occupied solely by our Father in Heaven. His faith is truth, and His love for Jesus is unveiled in us as being our one true Parent-Reference. His being has securely united us all, as One family, under Him. 

So concerning our shared design, there have been a series of transformations which led to our standing in the place we now occupy. First, we were translated from the spiritual sphere of the heavenly world in Christ, placed into the perfect sanctity of our mother's physical wombs. He formed us there according to the exact specifications of His own personal design for us. Then, when He'd already accomplished what He'd set out to do in us there, He transplanted us once more, this time severing us completely from that "under construction" state that we'd physically been in from the womb-- We were declared complete! So that we may occupy the Earth itself, free from everything.(restrictions, shortcomings, or delays).

In maturity, we live and we grow in our comprehension of who we are and what's been done in us by God. Upon the awakening of the memory of our Heavenly Sonship and of our original life in the Spirit of Jesus before the creation of this physical universe, we embrace a brand-new reference to our birth.

The new reference, one that is not at all new but is newly unveiled in time as it'd always been in eternity, is one in which we encounter ourselves as having arises from the waters of the Earth itself. Our origin no longer merely references the waters of natural birth, which would define us separately from any other person born from any other womb (including Jesus Himself) but acknowledging our origin in the plan and engineering of God, our being lifted up from the waters of baptism represents our being of the same womb as Jesus Himself and all humanity in Him! So confirmed in the sign of every baptism, Jesus unveils our living of His life, in the flesh, as having always been the destiny, purpose and the ultimate desire of our Dad in Heaven.

Our Dad in Heaven (Jesus' Dad) gives us definition above and beyond the definitions and labels we gathered on Earth. Even the best labels we were associated and identified with on Earth are eclipsed, association with even the most loving family or most prestigious name is overshadowed by a greater association with a greater Household and even that sacred place where He personally hand knitted us together and formed every detail of our bodies according to the exact specifications of His Will, the womb of our natural birth itself no longer has any authority to stake any claim on you or your design.

That blueprint you were designed from, that information God referenced as He created you, the original thought from which He constructed and engineered us, was indeed His own image and likeness. He is today, yesterday, and forever our One true Parent reference. Every human parent on Earth is like a finger pointing to the exclusive parenthood of God Himself. So even in the place of rest, the all consuming adventure of our lives is now being together introduced to God's own image of us in Christ Jesus. -f

The Starfish

There's a word people use to describe every living creature of God possessing two sides to their physical anatomy, any creature with bi-lateral parts to their bodies. They're calling it "deuterostomia" in the world today, and in that way, we see the common relation existing between all creatures who likewise possess lateral parts, clearly distinguishable from all creatures who don't.God gave to humanity's forefather Adam the empowerment to do what God up until that time hadn't taken the liberty to do, and that is to name each of the Earth's living creatures.

Our Father had already called every star by name, and to us He gave to be on Earth as He is in Heaven in the naming of the physical creatures over which we rule. Our ruling over them is by our being the Highest, the pinnacle, and the zenith of all creation by virtue of Christ Jesus, the defining member of our Race and the Godship. In and through our position of prominence, we exercise dominion over all of God's creatures as they each express in part what we express in whole. And all God's Angels said... "Holy!"
We are The Logos made flesh. We originate in the Spirit of Jesus Christ Himself. We are contained and expressed fully in that original Spirit thought of God, and He created us as Gods on the Earth, our union with each other is defined by our common-bond of Sonship before Him, living together with Christ in the Father's Love. We are bonded to Christ in Oneness, such a "bi-lateral symmetry" as our design as Sons always includes being side by side in equal weight with Him!
"The Father judges no one, He's given it to the Son to judge so that all would honor the Son as they honor the Father."

The Father created all things perfectly, Himself being the fullness of all creation, and He has given it to us, In His Son, to bring perfect clarity and definition to everything that He is. We reveal His purpose. We, the Light, reveal Him, the Father of Light. He is the substance, and we are His fullness, expressed. We are in the very image of the Author and Creator Himself. We rule. Our words are backed with the weight of His Authority, Jesus' Authority which we now walk in and exercise, having been revealed in the light of His word as being ours, as He is, revealed by the Father, as being Himself. So we rule over angels.
Angels and all of the highest creatures of created by our Father were created for us, and by Jesus Christ FOR us and as expressions of us, as we are of His! So our ruler, authority, dominance, or "dominion" over all creations, in heaven and in Earth is genuine, authentic, and unveiled in the light of His Word!
So again, it wasn't for mankind to create but to define. We, expressing His Logos on the Earth, declare things as they are. We speak only what we see, and we see with eyes illuminated by the true knowledge of Him, the One through whom and in whom and by whom all things exist. We, by revelation, say what He reveals to us in our own hearts, through our own minds, worded by the tongues between our own lips and as we say, so is it. Not "shall it be" but as we say, it "IS" because it already "WAS" before we announced it. So we, extensions of Him, speaking only consistent with what foundation had been laid beforehand by Him.
So I read, in this classification of different creatures according to different associations which relate them, I learned that my new bird, a "Sun Parakeet" is a member of a sub-classification of physical creatures called, as I said before, "Deuterostomia."
Since human flesh is the fullness of God's creation and expresses everything in all it's fullness perfectly in One, we see an exciting example of this in that while they described the flesh of man as "deuterostomia", there is hidden within the world of "deuterostomias" a creature in resemblance of a heavenly body, one not of the physical created order. In this creature, I find the most resemblance with ourselves. What creature do I speak of? Starfish!

Starfish start out with a left and right, but they mature beautifully in every direction!

Apparently, though they don't appear to be "related" to us, I read that "If you were to watch an embryonic starfish develop, you would see that it begins life bilaterally, but switches to radial symmetry as it matures." Isn't that amazing?! Not unlike ourselves in Him, going from flesh to Spirit, extending out in all directions with Him as our source, no longer defined by just one creature of the Earth, but as the Creator of Heaven and Earth. We are His fullness, and all creation in Him is in us! So we exercise authority over all creation as we do over ourselves. And with the flick of a finger...

The Custodian

Believing that he was "out of his mind," enabled his family to make mental calculations about him that justified their excuses as to why it'd be okay to take hold of him, subject him to their authority, enslave him to their own bondage to the law and exercise control over his life on his behalf. Not believing in his own ability to adequately exercise control on his own behalf, they sought to bind him to themselves and to be a law over him. It was, in their minds, for his own good.

When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, "He is out of His mind." - Mark 3:21

Seems a bit severe of a response for a mother to have to a mature, adult, 30 year old, miraculously born, immaculately conceived son! But you have to understand, she believed there was precedence in defense of her responding this way. Mary was not one to soon forget the fateful occurrence of a young Jesus, not a day over 11, up and left herself and his father to travel days, alone by himself, to be in the temple at Jerusalem. When confronted, the following occurred:

48 When His parents saw Him, they were astonished. “Child, why have You done this to us?” His mother asked. “Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”

49 “Why were you looking for Me?” He asked, “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”

50 But they did not understand the statement He was making to them.

51 Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was subject to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.

As you can see, Mary took to heart what they'd then interpreted as Jesus' defiance to their "custody" over him. She saw him as one who rebels against the laws and customs of her household, which are the laws and customs passed down through Moses. Indeed, in her heart of hearts, she believed Jesus a sinner. Not merely a sinner, but a sinner who believes he is innocent and has the right to do what he does. Don't hail mother Mary. She's an example, but not a mirror. All those years later, she rolled up on a mature adult Jesus, armed to the teeth with her entourage (Jesus' brothers) and once more attempted to correct Jesus for thinking God Himself as His own Father didn't separate Him from subjection to her rule.

Never heard this version of the event? Even the most blessed of all mothers abused the very law Jesus came to free us from, seeking to enslave him to that law by characterizing him as immature, incomplete, and imperfect. The custodianship of parent over child as defined by law and tradition was meant for only a time and a season. When the child attained maturity, a date determined only by His Father in Heaven, the child is no longer counted the fruit of an Earthen Womb, but the child of Heaven. Looks like Jesus was counted as a Son in the eyes of God from the very womb and that though He was born of a woman under the law, He was always the Son of His Father in Heaven and subject only to His Father's Law of Perfect Liberty.

Just as they sought out to find and subdue their child, the young Jesus, in hopes of assuring His safe return to the place of subjection to them, they on this day insist on enforcing the same boundaries they set for Him then, on who He is NOW! It would be even more foolish now for them to attempt to subdue Him than it was back then when He was a child! But now they cleverly disguise their intent by playing the "He's Crazy!" card, hoping to legally gain custodianship over Him in that way. Just as He had the right to THEN act freely, as One under no law except that of His Heavenly Father, so too does He continue having that right today. Custody is a specific seizure of control that one legally exercises over another person. No human being has ever legally exercised control over another person in a universe where Jesus Christ is Lord.

So why do I write all this? Because Jesus is God's Message to us, because He reflects who we are in God's eyes. In Him, we see ourselves in the Spirit. Next time the world tries to bait you into coming under it's custodianship, know that custodianship is an exercise of immediate charge, as over a ward or a suspect, also translated as "safekeeping." Remember, You are already under God's safekeeping, the safe-keeping of the Good Shepherd... who gives His life for His sheep and the Father who gives His Life to His children. You don't need the so called "safe-keeping" wielded by the law, which is merely the legal right to take care of a needy child (such as a child whose parents are divorced). You're no needy children, God said, "You are Gods! All of you Sons of the Most High!" Because you are already under the care of The One whose child you indeed are, to be under another's safe-keeping would be like being kept in a prison or a jail! There's only one being in the universe with the right to call Himself the Warden of any prison-cell containing a Son of God, God The Father Himself.

Sons of Abraham

To owe something to somebody is to be obliged to them, and to be obliged is to be enslaved! "Against You and You only have I sinned, Lord!" Said David in response to the condemnation ignited in him by the Law's response to an offense encountered in his flesh.

Notice how we've all likewise responded in "offense" at things we've encountered in the flesh... Now notice how Jesus took NO "offense" at encountering the apparent "lack" of say... 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish relative... to the task of satisfying the demand set before Him of caring for 5,000 families, and feeding them all!

What an occasion to take offense at the promise of God and balk in unbelief! But continuing trusting God's promise to sustain us by His own hand, He had faith before even checking to see how much was physically present, and when He did indeed seek out and found what things WERE present, He thanked God for what provision was indeed there, knowing that The One who first promised to feed His children was well-able to bring His own promises to pass.

Being of the same Faith as His Father, He staggered not in faith but believed in the Promises of God! In thanksgiving to His Father for this Truth, He broke bread without offense at the amount provided, and neither were any of the others offended at the amount they received from His hand as He indeed fed them all!

Because of your Sonship in Him, You've inherited the same Faith as your Father. The Law's response to offenses in the flesh can no longer be misconstrued as God's response to You. Be not offended; Take no offense, at anything, ever, for any reason... because God is indeed totally sufficient! His promises are true and have all come to pass in our lives according to the Truth of His Word. He's unveiled His limitless mercy in us by the unveiling of our eternal inclusion in Sonship's perfect immunity from sin! -f

Bar Hopping Mitzvah

We are value conscious beings; our potential is only determined by our ability to sense the value we contain! Our Maker's enablement to always sense this value in us is His reference of us being in Himself! We likewise encounter Him in our own selves, His own nearest and dearest reference!

To see in ourselves exactly what God Himself sees in us... seems upsetting to the rational mind! Are not the parents thoughts towards it's child unknowable to the child's mind? Are not God's thoughts higher than our own? Well as the rain closes the gap that separates Earth from Heaven, the words flowing from God's lips succeed in closing all the distance and completely saturating our wisdom seeded hearts. His breath endorses that wisdom as His own, and ours in Him.

Our capacity to contain just how valued we truly are is like drinking new wine: the degree of enjoyment is regulated only by how much of His gift you are willing to receive. In this case, above beyond and apart from our own willingness to receive or desire to even ask, He'd already given it all! So our degree of realizing His enjoyment is totally unregulated. You have permission to be as smashed about who He is in you as you know He was broken up about what His Son Jesus did on all our behalf on the cross. Like sowing and reaping: a big investment produces bigger yields than a smaller investment on that same stock! 

When you put something precious to you on the market, the price you're willing to accept for it is determined by how highly you value it, and if someone offers you more for something than you ever thought it was worth, what was once so known to you about it is again shrouded from view, a temporary blindness takes hold, the duration of which is determined only by how long it takes to realize how desperately you now need and have always needed His perfect sight in you all along. His communication to us of the undisputed inadequacy of the works of own hands at the task of satisfying the desires of our own hearts, or that of our lovers, exposes and redeems our hearts desire to have all our bases completely covered, effortlessly, without any strain towards making it so, all by revelation of what His design of us just happens to have always been.

Time for the Bar Mitzvah, concluding in your being tossed the keys to the kingdom, Abba's Maserati included. We are by His hand to the satisfaction of His own heart! What can anyman's hand add to this? Save perhaps the endorsement of his signature, by way of their applause of His perfect work, in us.. Our value is a simple communication He fully articulated in just One Word: Jesus. -f

Parenting: One oh One

That what they say about their kids always comes to pass doesn't necessarily prove good judgement. All the confidence they put into their efforts to control and predict our future behavior always causes them to act in anticipation of what they expect, sowing seeds in us towards the aim of bringing their desires to pass.

The child wants nothing more than to be faithful to the parent's image of them. In truth, it's the parents tongue that ignites fires facilitating whatever behavior they're speaking in anticipation of. Imagine the wildfire a small spark could cause? If kids have to wear leashes in public, their parents should have to wear a muzzle! But I digress...

Parent's seldom fail to find what they expect to find in their children. It isn't by some mystical majestic knowledge, but they carry an inward sense of what to expect from their offspring, based from their knowing themselves. Any authority executed by a parent is founded upon one claim: the blood claim of their children having been made in their own image and likeness, sustained by their good, conceived by their passion, subject to their desire and birthed in the travail of their suffering. Thank God that Jesus exceeded every definition of parental authority, casting out the rules of flesh world and claiming me in His own image and likeness.

I exist faithfully radiating HIS desire for me! It wasn't His having pleased Mary's desire that caused Him to know Himself as He did, feel loved, accepted, protected, provided for by God, or any good thing the mother of all mother's would erroneously have ascribed to her doing by a foolish and perverse generation. Thinking that your being bone of their bone and flesh of their flesh defined your association to them is the reason why our every meal today testifies of our being bone of God's bone and flesh of Jesus' flesh instead. No more eating food sacrificed to idols.

To close a prior point, consider how children get over-ruled by their parents. It's because the parent-reference always knows what to expect from your flesh better than the immature, incomplete, developing offspring does. Having already been construed as such by them, reduced to what could be gathered by their senses, ignorant that we are ourselves Gods and children of the Most High God, they think they have authority over you simply because they've already walked many miles in your skin. This reliance on past human experiences enslaves humanity into becoming a tired race of repeats.

It makes some sense to carry forward what come from those before us however, are we mere flesh? So lets not base traditions on a history of what FLESH has done, from the perspective of FLESH but what has SPIRIT done? What is time from the perspective of the SPIRIT? Has the POV of flesh, or anything based on the realm of senses, ever succeeded in satisfying our hunger or quenching our thirst when our yearning is for something more? Is it too much to ask for something powerful enough to separate us from the realm we'd known and been known in for so long and for there to be something in a person that can elevate us to places where all the pressures down below now seem absent, a place where contradictions are of little effect and no consequence, a place where the weaknesses encountered in the flesh actually become of great assistance to the lifting of our Eagle's Wing, as we make off like baron's profiting from a nation's economic collapse, because an occasion to show mercy has now arisen for us an occasion to exhibit our grace, and our grace is sustained by the Truth our Father allows us to participate in, and share participation in simply because we're His and His alone!

In truth, because we are NOT the image and likeness of our physical earth-born parents, but of God Himself. Who cares if they were veiled from why you're perfect, the failures of parents (real and surrogate, in their many shapes and sizes) are forever off the hook as we've been protected in God from any further failures. Every being we encounter in the flesh is a fully matured, blossomed, bloomed, ready to be enjoyed, fit for masters use and endless enjoyment child of God, whether they've had the glorious privilege of encountering themselves as being believed as such by parents in the flesh. Our original parents in the flesh, Adam and Eve, are forgiven from any misdeed on their part and for the havoc and devastation of "sin-consciousness" and struggle against or submission to inferiority it caused in us, their race of children, for millennia and generations. However, the greater parent of all Creation, the Spirit Himself took flesh and eclipsed mankind's sin by the revealing of mankind's innocence in Himself!

Earth parents and principalities no longer have authority in their voice. They no longer have that scepter that let them steer the lives of their children, manipulation by law, perfection as a carrot on a stick guiding us to crave blessings and fear curses, steering us with their words like ship-rudders steered the Titanic. Like the Titanic, likewise deemed "unsinkable" by the workers, their addressing of us as to one lower conditioned us to associate with a downward-reference, a reference whereby a sense of immaturity had been maintained in us. Belief in our need to become more than "I Am" blinded us from the realm in which everything that belongs to your Father is yours, we got engaged in pursuits to acquire things we desired as if they hadn't been ours freely from the start. Crediting self-works with what had only been afforded by God's Grace caused us to inhabit the fearful condition of survival and maintenance modes, but how could be cause to survive or maintain something that didn't originate as the result of our own hands all along? Suddenly, the contributions of our own hands are put into context and reduced to zero.

Earth parent's awaken to the folly of their having taken upon themselves that burden which had been taken care of for us by our Father, but by the time the need for their children to be steered by a tongue wired to a new heart, into a new and different upwards direction, the child's trajectory to the ice-berg has already been charted to inevitable failure. Having already believed the lie of being imperfect, immature, and incomplete and having accrued a lifetime of evidences consistent with having held that belief, failed attempts to add glory or be able to acquire and sustain good standings before the children of men has confused children into believing that dying to themselves and to their own dreams, hopes, and interests is the only way out because the misery of an unfulfilled heart is too great a burden to bear. Is there then no hope? In the realm of parents in the flesh, hope is all there is-- and thanks be to God, Jesus Christ is the substance of that hope.

No parent speaks against their child freely of their own accord but laboriously in response to whatever law was broken. They voice the broken law, and it is in fact only the voice of the law itself that addresses the child as such. By design, the parent's true voice is one of unconditional love and understanding. Gloves of velvet, fists of steel. A parent who is under law cannot rid from their voices of the tinge of anger, their mouths resound their hearts saturation with legalism's implications and intentions. The reduction of our children's belief down from blameless innocence, and into their feeling immature, incomplete, imperfect and "in trouble" was strategically employed by parents for generations, as behavioral programming spawned a universal generation without the sense of God's spirit in them. The punishment reward, blessing curse system used by parents for so many generations was endorsed by religion's widely propagated belief about God. When a parent approaches it's child and finds something there they were not hoping to find, the legalistic parent scolds the child, because the parent desires that it's child to remain faithful to their seed and employs a measure to make it so. Blind parents keep the blindfolds firmly in place upon the faces of their children; Calling no man or woman your "Parent" isn't attitude, it's grace and wisdom.

But *gasp* what happens if that child and it's parent were to find out that He were indeed someone ELSE'S child, the result of someone ELSE's seed and that it's ACTUAL Father... Hold your horses... is God Himself!? Would the parents then scold Jesus for calling God Himself His Father? lol, what do you suppose they would do? A parent so accustomed to desiring it's child to continuously reflect it's own image and likeness? How then could that same parent suddenly make peace with the fact their child now reflects an image that seems contrary to their seed? Raise someone else's kid? Spare the rod spoil the child suddenly don't sound so bad... Ha! but I digress...

Jesus proved that having the wrong image of your children voids both your parenthood and their childhood! They literally die as soon as they lose the sense your approval, and a legal obligation comes to life in them instead, taking over their corpses which are now empowered only by their continued desire to be what you (or the authority over you) expect of them, despite how impossible of a task this may be.

All parents began as innocent sons, in like-fashion, bewitched into slavery to expectations to express lifestyles foreign to their design. How can you blame them for showing signs of legalism having influenced their character and deceived them into embracing it as their source of life? In the world below, a boy becomes a father. A title doesn't hide your character but amplifies and expresses the content of your character on your behalf; Pope's and Pastor's being named spiritual "fathers" even though they lack the uh... appropriate reproductive mechanisms... to ever justify that claim? Harsh I know, but those dumb ashy ass bold-faced liars have been echoing religion's false claims from sea to shining sea for far too long! But I digress...

The child desires nothing more than to satisfy their parents expectations, so unless you want a weak, immature, incomplete, lost, confused, rebellious and sinful son? Don't use "the rod" of your tongue to batter him into submission to your erroneous images of him but exclusively employ God's Rod and tongue, from which the irresistible authority of truth is exercised over all His subjects, and His overmastering supremacy brings every cell under His authority into alignment with His will. #sonship -f

Arche-Authority

No one has any Authority over anything unless it was first given to him from that thing's Original Author. If Cesar considered himself the "author" of the Roman Empire, it'd from the integrity of this claim that his authority would be recognized. Many submitted to the authority of his claim, as he'd demonstrated superior military, economic and political prowess to that of many nations. In that empire, it would have been our association with Cesar's name that would have determined how much rights we had in the empire. Of course, Cesar could never empower anybody with a right that he himself could lay no legitimate claim to, for instance, he couldn't empower someone with divine favor or eternal life, but for as long as Cesar himself lives, and your association with him remains active and in good standing, the empowerment of his name continues to sponsor your dominion over the other names in the region. To remain associated with him is to preserve your own lives.


So in the great Roman Empire under Cesar, the kind of life you lived would depend solely on the kind of association existing between Cesar's name and your own. In his empire, whatever he believes about you goes! Of course, his calling a penguin an elephant would do nothing but change the spelling and pronunciation of it's name, but in areas of personal empowerment, if he were to call you the executor or overseer of some aspect of what he owned, you would be as he said you were. And if he were to call you a criminal, unrighteous citizen in poor standing, rebel to his throne and zealot to his cause, you'd be, in his eyes, as he said you were. Scary thought though. What we'd prefer would be a relationship of perfect equality with our ruler. Consider having a relationship with the Emperor somewhere along the lines of royal sonship or heirdom for instance; that standing in his eyes would afford you the highest authority in his empire, second to himself only in name! But as history has proven, kings have proven well able to usurp even their own rightful heirs of their over guarded thrones. Military and political leaders were pretty well protected, as the Emperor relied on these functions, but by the time you get to Pilate, the one who Cesar associated as King of Israel, one must ask, by what authority would Cesar consider himself, or anything in his name as having the right to name the King of Israel?

Jesus replied to Pilate's boasting regarding the authority he exercised over Israel, the body of Jesus at that certain moment in time, and in reminding him he reminding us all that no human person has any right to do anything to him, or his body, outside of what authority was given from the one who's ruling from above.

So when people discover God's Authority in them, The Way the Giver of their Authority personally weighs and interprets them in His eyes is the Source of how they see themselves. The Way they see themselves is the Foundation from which their every initiative is launched and becomes the boldness in which every step is taken. A sturdy and secure relationship foundation with the One who is our Authority inspires sturdy, secure actions themselves producing secure results. Meanwhile shakable foundations, inferior relationships with God based not on Jesus' sonship would only inspire demoralizing conditions, paralyzing potential for progress as an uncertain cry rouses no one.

Our assurance of the sufficiency of what has to be relied on by us in order for us to successfully accomplish what our Authority has tasked us is simple faith.

Whatever has to be relied on in order for anybody to do anything IS their "Authority"! The Authority of the man of the Earth is from the Earth, and the Earth only has sowing and reaping authority. However, God didn't define our beings as dependent upon sowing and reaping. Even the birds rely not on sowing and reaping nor gathering into barns and store-houses. The Earth serves us, and it does produce the harvest of what seeds we sow in it, but this was not the means by which we were to sustain ourselves otherwise, God would have approved Cain's sacrifice as reflective of His idea for us. He accepted the lamb, proving that the sufficiency of reliance on our innocence in His eyes is what's designated as our complete source for our every need and want. Why go to the tree of knowledge of good and evil for how to potential acquire something when by the fruit of the tree of God's idea of life, your simply desiring or asking it of him entitles you to it because He is the Father and life is Sonship and Son's effortless inherit gifts from their Father and have no need for works.

People who depend on human experiences, tradition, the sense realm, physical knowledge, genealogies, religious beliefs, morality basically stand on the shoulders of the ones who've come before them. They appear like giants as a result of this. However, we see ourselves wrapped in another skin, a dry, cracked, useless skin but not unlike our own before the regenerative treatment of the oil of His Joy and the new wine-skin of our relation to Him! Anybody's authority comes from their awareness of having been counted "pleasing" by their master for doing whatever it is they do. Innocence endorses righteousness. Regarding servants,  for as long as they're counted as "pleasing" by whatever ruler or authority empowers their action, His master's pleasure becomes his own strength. This is why the Son of the house has unlimited strength! Because His master is unlimitedly pleased with him, because he sees in His son His own image and likeness, the successful execution of His own intentional will for you. Meanwhile, the servant's freedom is measured according to the degree to which his master recognizes Himself in him in any given moment. No longer recognizing himself in His servant, the right to execute judgement the servant is surely His!

It is the "I-Am-ness" of the Master that itself sustains and endorses the servant's freedom in it's master's house; a master with no specific authority over his house would be unable to endorse or exercise any authority. A thief, having no authority, cannot authorize authority but only likewise make others "thieves" by association with him. Allegiance to the one who endorses complete authentic Authority in you through His truth-backed ownership right to absolute authority is to yourself BE authority over that house and have supreme control over it. The Son is the master of the Fathers household! The Authority of the Father in Jesus endorses the Authority of His Son in YOU! As for things you used to be subject to the pleasure or displeasure of, they are subject now to your pleasure or displeasure, and must do as you please as surely as local officer must obey federal officials. You were upgraded to a higher class of executive administration by your awakening to the I Am-ness in you.

In reference to persons, they know themselves the way they do because that's how they've come to know themselves according to their Authorities' knowledge of them. Their own authority to move, act, and speak as they do is only sustained to the measure of their accordance with the rulers will. To use another measure outside of said ruler, say a thermometer or odometer for instance, would produce results as uninterpretable as a coded message. The servant of a foreign master can never understand or interpret the content of the messages between masters; the power to interpret as they do having come in reliance upon the Authorities measure of him. Ouch. -f
