God Speaks; He Lives

It's not a coincidence that reap looks a lot like the word ripe. When the crops are ripe — in Old English, "ready for reaping, fit for eating" — Reap means "action in accordance with the calculation that the seed in the fruit now matches the seed that was sown."

The reaping is a declaration that's accompanied by action, like love's declaration being accompanied by consummation, it's an announcement followed through by the activity that matches it's fulfillment.

Like a barmitzva, publicly declaring the legitimacy of an already legitimate son-ship. The father announces the son as his own, PUBLICLY, just as the Pharoah publicly pronounced Joseph's name "Zaphenath-paneah." Now, any in Egypt who had no inclusion in the name of Joseph or association with the benefits he represented to them from God, became able to associate with him, know him and call him by name! Without ceasing to be the same Joseph known of his father's, He was translated into the lives of a people born from another family name, and in being given a name like theirs, He became one of their own! A Hebrew audience would not have understood Joseph's Egyptian name.

As a wife's takes her husband name and is translated as being his own, the Lord's Right-Hand was given a name that permitted us to accurately understand Him in our own mother tongue.

Jesus translates God's name, "Abba."
His "Abba" translates your name, "Jesus"

The rights and privileges (of knowing faith in God's promise as your inexhaustible inner source) was once restricted to the people of the household of Israel (blood relatives of the Messiah) but the Messiah's measure, rejected by Israel, has now been extended to all men everywhere! His being rejected by His own afforded us an opportunity for inclusion by God Himself! Hooray for picking up God on the rebound! Whoop-whoop!

So by hearing our Spirit's announcement, through our hearts resonance with truth, that the name, Jesus Christ has been translated into your understanding in a more clear and comprehensible way, a nearer, clearer, more present and personally inclusive name is revealed in Him.... A name reflective of our having been given an equal share in His Father's image, as it is in Him. There is no other Fatherhood over us apart from His, because the greater one rules. The Father of all is the Father of all, dethroning every other one called "father" in the flesh. Yes, we've been given the gift of inclusion in the name of Jesus Christ. You don't need a sexy tattoo on your lower-back to reclaim your body; He bathed you in His blood and declared you innocent of it. You're righteous for life, Son!

Today, He addresses Himself as you, His son; and He addresses Himself in you; and He's addressed you in Himself from before. You are, by Him

From Heaven.

There's no way for clay to make itself good or bad, it's simply defined by how FIT it is for it's master's use. Clay is clay! Mexican clay, American clay, I understand appreciate and enjoy the subtle varieties among the family's of clay's, but whatever is true about the lowest of that clay remains true about all "clay-kind" So really, what's there to boast in? *GASP* Oh but wait... There IS something to boast in, and there's no law against it. Wanna know what it is? God became the lowest of all clay.. er... i mean man-kind, becoming Sin itself on the cross, and from His death and to His ascension, He raised the lowest among us from the guttah-most, to the uttah-most! Oh Yeah! Can you dig it!

Mankind got upgraded from the clay temple, to the temple of His Father's heavenly spirit.

Nothing wrong with clay, the building materials He used included in the category of things God foreknew and approved for this exact purpose in advance. But there is something majorly wrong in the mind of one who reduces the Spirit of God to the temple He resides in. No offense to the temple, but it's been torn down in favor of a more spacious accommodation. How about those mansions in your Father's house? Sonship is the most spaciously luxurious accommodation for in it, everything present in God is made our own as we ourselves are His, fit and fashioned together for this very purpose!

But there's no cause for boasting about what sets one lump of clay apart from another, as glorious as we've all now been revealed as being in the flesh, it is we ourselves who are glorious, the flesh has it's own glory but that is not what defines us, so as to reduce ourselves to a definition lower than that of the most-high. Though fashionable, there would be no practical benefit to an heir pretending to be a slave, or a son wallowing in pens with pigs. In Jesus' sacrifice, it was The lowest among us that was elevated to the Most High. The vehicle through whom God resounded this message (in Paul's life) was likewise regarded the lowest among the apostles and the worst of all sinners, so we're all associated with the Most High regardless of the lowliness of our conditions.

Mold it any way you'd like now, but it's still simply defined as clay no matter what you call it, and you'll still always be a higher and more valuable vessel than it no matter how value you attach to the work of your hands it molding and shaping it according to your likeness. You yourself are in a body was molded and shaped according to the likeness of the Most High God Jesus Himself, how can anything produced by our own hands ever meet or exceed that? But when you DO take one of those lumps of clay and you mold an image of your own body, and it is complete to the last detail, capturing even even the most intimate freckle and the spirals of your finger, something does changed about the nature of that clay. Like a man just given a badge, something of his stature changes. The name of the creation, regardless the material, reveals that the creation is defined by the nature of the relationship the artist has with the likeness it carries. Whose image and likeness do you carry? Your well-being is depending upon His provision and care.

Now, of passion being the very foundation of your being, deeper even than the lowest layer of stone set on the very heart of the Earth itself, I know the one who bothered to mold us so painstakingly into His exact image, form, and likeness, He must have always seen more in our unformed substance, more than that initial lump of clay, more than a simple lump of clay... He always saw infinite possibility... The artist approaches a blank canvas and to just his own eye, it fills before the first stroke. He always saw a perfect union of consistency and variation in us... a carrier of His life. He sees all things according to the fullest and highest definition; He saw the tiniest seeds falling into dirt and resurrecting as the most beautiful trees in the field... Even before you approached the clay, sleeves rolled up to mold a form from set apart lumps of clay, you already saw your own image and likeness reflected upon that canvas... You always saw the end from the beginning, or else there'd be reasonable foundation to start from!

Only an ignorant judgement is made strictly from outward appearances, as helpful as outward appearances have proven to be in our lives in the flesh, surface level communication can only contain surface level thoughts. The new mind is unique in that rather than being restricted to knowing ourselves and one another merely by outward appearances, or by the things we've SEEN each other do and HEARD each other say, hear-say is exposed a foundation made from sand. Our true foundation, the initiative from which His act of building and redeeming us was launched, is the passion of God. You're rooted in love, and erupting forth from His pleasure like an artesian well.

Pulled up from the pits by God's own right hand; you want a mountain as your foundation. His likeness of you, confirmed in your own heart's resonance with the announcement of His grace, shows that truth is only seen by reasoning in accordance with whatever God's knowledge is. Any reasoning devoid of His being present is devoid of His light, and whoever walks in the dark stumbles. As God's own knowledge was the very source and master-blueprint of that thing's design now. How do we learn more about things that God has made? By reading millions of volumes of meandering encyclopedias about every aspect of the detail of the design? Or by Knowing Him?!

Why not spare ourselves the extra work and drink some new-wine thoughts! Everything He approved of and included in His construction of the universe, the planets, the stars, moons is something that in some way expresses His thoughts concerning mankind, and mankind is the expression of His thoughts concerning Himself. Everything that can be known of God is now manifest in man, so with the blueprint reference of all creation contained in your own being. No mountain intimidates you any longer. Water doesn't take away your God given freedom to put one foot in front of another without falling. No area too dark, no level too high, no revelation too deep, no material too challenging because every detail of all of it is already in submission... to you. It exists for you. Creation is yours. The Earth radiates you, and Jesus Christ has taken our flesh and brought it to Heaven. He's the lump representing the whole, what's true of Him is true of you, clay is clay right? Well your clay has been redefined as NOW containing the very God whose image it carries!

You aren't just the appearance of God in the Flesh, but you're also the very substance of God Himself. His Trust in us reveals that what is true in Him is equally true in us. Truth doesn't change across time-zones; He unites Heaven and Earth. The Word became flesh, and as The Word remains greater than and the author and originator of flesh, the greater swallows up the lesser! You're like wood bathed in liquid gold. Only the God that is in you defines you now. In order for anything "else" in you to define you, that thing would have to be bigger than God, that is, bigger than His capacity to contain. Newsflash, it's all in Him... He's Good... and so it's ALL Good. Faith knows this, elevating your eyes from the temporal that your knowledge of the eternal may connect it to Heaven!

Since Jesus unveiled God as The Father and Himself as the Son of God, we know that God's the kind of Father that isn't ever separate from His Son and never withholds His endorsement of His own image and likeness in Him. This equality between Father and Son is the passageway to every drop of wisdom in Heaven; this all-filling Light illuminates even receptors of your brain that have until now lied dormant SPARKLE with vibrant thoughts of life, now having been set free by this Light! The reason why the Father and the Son are equal is because everything that is in the Father is in the Father's seed, and the Son produced by that seed is Himself that Father in the form of His Son. By that logic, we are in Jesus just as the Father is in Jesus and Jesus is in the Father. If the lesser comes from the Greater and the One existing before all things is Himself the source, and He Himself is foundation thought upon whom all things are modeled and based, then He Himself is the light through which all things are understood.

The Precedence of His Approval

By what standard are we considered totally perfect before God? What man before us has ever been found faultless in His all knowing eye? Who among us has fulfilled the standard of His heart, and WHY was he declared perfect by God? And does anything now separate me from that same endorsement from God?

If Cain sacrificed Him a lamb like how Abel did, would God have responded differently to Cain? What would've God seen in Cain had the contribution of Cain's hand been in accords with God's own idea of perfection? What could a MAN sacrifice to match the standard of what would cause God Himself to enter a state of pure ecstasy and enjoyment? And what DOES accord with God's idea of a perfect sacrifice on YOUR behalf anyways? Baaahh!

Rewind for clarity and return to the first revealing of what pleases the God who never changes! What satisfied God was seeing IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE of His inclusion in our lives, and of our having been designed to be filled with, covered by, and eternally pleased uniquely by Him and Him alone. He sees this evidence in His own body, and it floods His body with joy.

He rested when He recognized His signature in us; the seed in us designed only to awaken in response to the rain of His breath. We exist in total dependence upon Him, He relates with us from within a Spirit of Perfect Sonship. In Sonship, we are in blameless innocence, by default! No sacrifice exceeds what He sees in you, but mirrors it... and He settles for nothing less than consistency with His own image and likeness! So exactly what was Adam "doing" when God looked at him in complete satisfaction saying:

"Woah! Now THAT is what I call absolute perfection! I see My own image and likeness, uniquely displayed in you! I've never seen Myself this way before; Lord, You've stolen My heart like no other. You flawlessly radiate My perfection in the way that completes my heart. I'd have my I-Am-ness nowhere else, but in You! As a result of the sight of You, I've entered My eternal celebration of Your perfection, awaiting You there in the Sabbath of My delight over You!" 

Mature Son

Those who live by laws and customs likewise die as a result of the condemnation from failing to satisfy those laws and customs. Thankfully, we no longer need to satisfy those "laws and customs" in order to enter into the confident rest of complete satisfaction, because instead of being subject to the laws and customs given man from above, we are IN the man from above!

The messages we sent to ourselves in Him, we now receive in ourselves in and by virtue of the same spirit being present in us as is present in Him in Heavenly places. His messages only resonated in the hearts and minds of those who likewise descended from above. Like a pin-key or finger-print scanner, the message sent to us from in Him are only unlocked upon our realizations of our selves in Him. Like an inheritance reserved for the moment of the heirs entry to the time set by the father, what always belonged to him is now declared his own and what distance once existed between himself and his inheritance is erased! 

By the confirmation of our Sonship, we've been given equal share in all that is the Father's, including the authority of His name.

This all became true by no doing of our own. We're born under guardians and tutors until the time set by the Father when the Son of God is revealed in us by the anointed scepter of God, Jesus Christ. In our discovery of His confirmation of Himself as our Father, His fatherly love for us is confirmed by Jesus' echo of that same love [of the Father] that He Himself is loved by! Those originating from Earth resonate with messages of, or pertaining to, the Earth-- When these hear a word from the above dimension, they misinterpret the messages according to their mind's adopted beliefs about reality. These adopted beliefs were arrived at during the time of our guardianship under authorities set in place over us by our father. No longer being a child under law but a full-privileged Son of the above dimension, we no longer interact with the word of the above dimension in an earthly way. Instead of something to do, a hold to be held or constrained by, we've discovered what is true of our Inner Being defined by God.

As children under law and guardianship of physical laws, restrictions upon our outer being relegated our attention to our outer being, as a failure for our outer being to line up with the physical law would represent occasion for condemnation [or death!]. With their beings sustained by the sufficiency of their "doing" instead of their divine being, they reduced the language of the above dimension to the limitations and constraints present in an infant of the below [earthly] dimension, namely, distance and delay. Hoping to one day grow up to achieve the father's standing or arrive at the vistas promised by Him to the One who is righteous in His eyes.

Wow. Can you believe it? This is the good news.

The illusions of distance and delay [between themselves and their parent] blinded them from realizing their being in the exact image and likeness of God. He therefore had to separate us from our mother's wombs, and He did this by doing what they could never do: announce us as fully pleasing to Him in every way! That announcement, even if articulated by multitudes, resounds only when spoken from the lips of the One.

The pin-code, the address and the fingerprint needful to receive and unlock the message of your perfect sonship in your Father's eyes is... The Voice of the Father to YOU, Personally. No vicarious entity can suffice; only the one with authority to speak these words infuses these words with His life, and those words become carriers of His life, themselves falling into the soil of our hearts and minds never to be seen or remembered again, and yet the Spirit life packaged in those words sprout infinite harvests of His gifts and fruits in us. 

Being reduced to the immaturity, in-completion, and inferiority of our flesh as voiced by the law's executors in our lives caused our minds to misinterpret the word of the Eternal as something yet to be fulfilled, a hopeful possibility, the reward of instructions we have to follow, commands we have to obey and act upon. We see His praise as applying to some ideal version of ourselves and the admonitions addressed to US! So he came and absorbed the impact of His own admonitions, making Himself the recipient of His words of judgement against the human race. What does that leave for us? His praise and ONLY His praise! Yea-oh!

Therefore, the Word of God is not to incomplete flesh, but to Gods-- to those who realize themselves in the mature flesh of Jesus Christ, knowing they originate from above, and resonate with His declaration of His pleasure over us and satisfaction with us in every way! We bask in His messages of divine love, His assurance of our perfection according to the perfection of His own capacity to accomplish what He set out to do! What did He set out to do but that which He'd announced from the beginning, that His own image and likeness be revealed in us! Adam painted man God's creation, Jesus unveiled man God's Son. By His association of Jesus with us as defining member, high-priest and executive authority of the human race.. He is now "I am" in you.

Only the I Am in you is capable of containing the full unveiling of the God in you.

Eternal life is a given if the seed be of God Himself. God is a person, meanwhile, laws and customs are lifeless in and of themselves and those dependent upon them BECOME like them! We in Christ inherited our likeness from God Himself. In dependence on Him, what we receive comes from Him, so we thank Him, and depend exclusively on HIM. We don't rely on our own satisfaction with ourselves, measuring ourselves according to how well we measure up to some image of some other recipient of favor, someone unlike ourselves or some follower of religious rites or rituals who appears to have acquired that which is only given in Sonship with God. Be finished with defending the sacrifices of their children to the continued rule of authorities in the flesh! Parents, be done with defending the need for rules and be finished with speaking well of mankind's adulterous dependence upon vehicles of the law and tolerating customs credited for why we now have those things needful in a complete and satisfied life before God. This acknowledgement of all things in Him is a new foundation, defined by a new authority, with a brand new name. 

First Ray of Hope

I read that Paul did most of his writings during times of despair and in hopeless, confined places. By this, He learned of hoping against hope and in being strongest in Christ when confidence in flesh is at it's weakest. The harshest, most troubling and overwhelming circumstances can never overpower that which has already been established in the truth by God. We were ourselves translated by God's association with us through Jesus, to a place where our beingness is eternally defined in Him. His death on behalf of the human race was pointed to by every mystery from the beginning of time; all signs where pointing to the coming of The Lamb of God, even the constellations foreshadowed the ministry of His Life. Yet, it's within our own hearts that the Light proclaimed in Christ ignites our own understanding, and like seeds awakened by rain and dew, we realize Him as including us and ourselves as living by, in, and through Him.

Just moments ago, while perusing a book recently downloaded called "Done!" by Francois Du Toit, the significance of the resurrection of Christ became plain to me. For months, if not years, I'd tended a sense of there being a greater significance to the resurrection of Jesus that what I'd then allowed to permeate my understanding. Being that our recovery from the hold of fallen-mindset and false-identity predicated on our understanding of this very moment in time, nothing less than genuine affection towards the end of better understanding that which has already been revealed to our hearts as true would be sufficient light by which this message could be read. Here, illuminated by the light of my own understanding, is my articulation of the significance of His resurrection:

Since His death was His absorption of every negative consequence and symptom of sin on my behalf, His resurrection is the announcement that the price of my sins had been atoned for by His blood and for as He lives, I also shall live. For as long as His life after my death persists, my life in his innocence persists. Remain united to this teaching, and the fruit of this teaching will remain united to you!

You are forgiven forever, every misdeed has been erased. Not only will you live for all eternity without a spot on your record and without a fault to your name (totally, completely, and utterly defined by Him and sustained only by His universe sustaining RESURRECTION LIFE, but no one presently engaging you from any different point of reference has any power over God's frame of mind! You are no longer subject to their ignorance or continued judgements or demands on your life! Amen! This is the best news ever!

This means that you can no longer be threatened with wrath, because in order for God to allow you to ever again experience the symptoms of blame and threats for some act or mis-deed committed by you He'd have to disagree with the sufficiency of Jesus' sacrifice on your behalf, which He can indeed NEVER DO! So we can no longer afford to be double minded in this. As much as we could sympathize with the needy and disgruntled.. those who lay claim to our abundance, armed with bible-verses conducive to their cause of extorting from you that which had already been given them in the name of Jesus.. we never again agree with their blatant ignorance of both our own deliverance and their own from a law of works or will-power manipulation by fear of death, loss, punishment, or any symptom of unrighteousness before God.

Walk freely, remain united to His value for you, the Spiritual Gift of your Innocence, and give no accuser any foothold in your life! No matter what lambskin that wolf's spirit attempts to woo you through, you aren't ignorant of it's devices. You've seen the soul separated from the flesh, and the spirit separated from the soul. All is made plain before you and you know all things. Do not foolishly disregard the gospel in favor of sentimental attachment to guilt-driven association with the lowly. Christ, who became the lowest of the low, now proclaims us all in the Highest Graces of The Most High! From the bottom to the top, and those who were counted lowest in this world count His treasure [in the completeness of the gift of His own I-Am-ness for us to live from] most highly! Enjoy The fullness of His name and your abandonment from the world's definition of your name. In Him, He Himself is the substance of your name. Jesus is in Felix and without Jesus, there would be no you or me! Our waking lives are sustained by His Resurrection-fueled Illuminated Dream! <3

The Bible, The Moon, and The Light of The Son

Like the moon, the sun's faithful witness, it's a creation that has no light-source in it, but exists to satellite-broadcast and mirror-reflect the light of the sun! Having no light of it's own to exhibit, the light it does express testifies to the sufficiency of the greater light, which is the light that rules over the day!

The Bible is not the Word of God, but it's message is!

The law was etched in stone, much like the moon, and it ruled over humanity's night. Only Light rules, but until Light dawned in us, we followed it as from a distance. Like children under the guardianship of parents, we experienced ourselves as depending upon the radiance of light from some other, greater source.

As pleasing as basking in the light of another is, we aren't cold-blooded. We're more than able to build ourselves up in love and do not require or depend on external sources of... heat <3

Whether by Moses, Prophets, Bibles, Pastors, Parents, Spouses or even by Jesus Himself from a mere historical perspective... In the night, we merely absorbed and reflected His light from a distance... It kept us alive and preserved us until the time of His coming, but the light of His understanding was always destined to arise in our own hearts, and from the time we first heard of His dawning, the seed was planted and it could never fail to produce after it's own kind.

God is no longer one greater than ourselves which we merely radiate and echo; He is our Father and we are His Son. All will honor the Son in the same way that they honor the Father, because the Father Himself is on display in His Son, just as the Son is fully-represented in His Father!

The moon was included in the created order because it demarcated humanity's times and seasons. The bible has been a useful tool in much the same way. For as long as man remained in the darkness of the night, our relationship with light remained illusive and what little light we could radiate represented was in our hope for total illumination. Once that total illumination came and the Word of God accomplished it's purpose in us of being fully comprehended, we engaged with complete comprehension and realized the message contained in God's Word is towards us! We ourselves are carrying the light of the incarnation of His Word.

We've gone from seeing an example for us in the Word, to now seeing the reflection OF us in Him! We, being the substance of what the Word reflected all along, represent and illuminate the purpose of the Word. We are the reason for the Word, He exists to serve you. He expresses you. He is in your mouth and in your heart. The Word exists to serve US as THE MIRROR of what God sees in us!

Until the dawning of the Son's light in us, we thought we relied on the radiance of God's light in another (Moses) rather than upon the greater radiance of the Son's light in us (Jesus)!

So again I say, the bible is a blueprint and Jesus Christ is the design... You are the present incarnation of that design, eternally. Much like the flesh that the Word of God incarnated as in us, it houses God and defines His likeness but the God of whom our bodies are the express images of does not dwell in tabernacles built by human hands. His declaration of our bodies as His temple confirms that our bodies are not tabernacles built by human hands. Jesus proved us built by God's own hands. -f

Holiday

You're not the servant of dissatisfied flesh, but the offspring of satisfied spirit. Remember when the Son of God was revealed in the likeness of an immature, incomplete, lost, law-needing, sin-prone, immature human flesh? Born of a woman, born under the law, yet immune to separation from God as His Sonship before God overruled the flesh's claim.

The way we measure ourselves by a law of works restricts our experience of ecstasy to moments where our circumstances or results of our own performances justify our joy! Celebration is restricted to "holy" days when in truth, not a day goes by in which your holiness is ever in question. One day doesn't make you any holier than you are on any other day. And even IF one day WERE holier than another, what difference would that make to YOU? God already declared your holiness from before time or space and manifested in Christ. You can take all your holidays, shine em up real nice, and flush them. 

We're not associated with 2nd place moments or 2nd place days, God's eternity is the eternal reference point for our limitless and endless joy. I am His accomplishment, He is my ekstasis.
The world of 9 out of 10 is "not bad" was overruled by a greater law, a Law of Perfect Sonship! Not 99% sonship, but monogenes, of one exclusive genetic source, a single origin, one Parent... Not born of the flesh, but birthed by the One Father Who Is in Heaven. Every person, time, and place is defined according to their association with His name! His gift of Sonship contains liberty, divine power, and an assurance that whatever defines the Father likewise defines you.

He is your eternal birthday, today; everything in Him celebrates you, right here, simply because He flawlessly expressed Himself in you from the beginning, and until the very end, you flawlessly expressed Him!

The end of our lives is already behind us.

Our lives are now after death.

Time and space are swallowed up by true gift of God, the Seed who fell into the ground and died containing the revelation of His ascension's result. -f
