Counter every lie

COUNTER EVERY LIE THAT DROPS INTO YOUR HEAD !! . YOU -C-A-N- SEE, FEEL, HEAR AS JESUS, WHO IS LIVING ON THE INSIDE OF YOU !! . FEEL FREE TO QUIT ALL DISEASE, LACK, FEAR, DOUBT !!

WHAT IF JESUS – OR ANY ONE OF HIS DISCIPLES – HAD LOOKED AT THE LACK INSTEAD OF THE UNSEEN SUPER-ABUNDANCE OF GOD ?
Mark 6:41 KJV
And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

JESUS LOOKED UP !!
He “saw” with His heart when He looked up [ANABLEPO = “seeing again”] and thanked His Father (our Father) for the provision He already had. He looked beyond what our senses tell us and “saw” supernaturally. WE CAN DO THE SELFSAME THING !!

YOU CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS !! . LOOK UP (ABOVE, BEYOND, AND AWAY FROM THE PROBLEM) INTO THE PERFECT REALM OF SPIRIT !!

Large vs intimate audience

There are two rather different ways of doing fb: keeping one’s friends list relatively small or building it up to around 5,000. The first method keeps people who basically share the same interests and opinions without too much dissent while the latter prefers a more varied group of Interlocutors.

Sometimes a mixture of the two types of fb users can be unsettling. I can’t tell you how many times I’d say something and no fewer than 10-12 people assumed it was written to them personally! On the other hand, someone with about 300 ‘friends’ has only about 30 people at any one time to consider and sometimes feels slighted when a person with nearly 5,000 plus 2,000 followers doesn’t see their posts!

No commentary, no judgement, no advice – just an observation.

Things that be not

ISN’T IT WONDERFUL !!

Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
Isaiah 42:9 ESV

[God] gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that He has foretold and promised as if they already existed.
Romans 4:17 AMPC

Instead of waiting…

Instead of waiting for God to speak to you, you can literally start the communication. For example “Remember, YourName, that I Am ……” and “Bear in mind [YourName] that …….” [You fill in the blanks AS God talking]. It will blossom into a full-fledged contact with God and immediate communication from Him. The real rest will ensue.

Something else!

IN CHRIST
we were always the Son of God.
Always means always.
All of us means all of us!
It’s all about recognition.
Recognition of
Christ in us.
There was never a moment that I
was not the Christ, the I AM,
Even when I thought I was
Something else!!

Connecting with God

HOW CAN I CONNECT WITH GOD ?
Words are not necessary: they can help you align your thought but the goal is actually REST in God. When your mind is still, God’s mind can fill you up with a level of joy that is indescribable! So, listen with your whole heart.

When the connection is made – and maintained – consistently over time, you’ll start to think as God instead of needing to make contact with Him.

Eventually – after much surrendering and hearing His voice, a most delightful event will occur: you’ll recognize that His voice ACTUALLY IS YOUR VOICE !!!

States and stages

STATES AND STAGES OF HEALING CONSCIOUSNESS
You may be more aware in one area and I may be more so in another in our apprehension of spirituality but it behooves us to exercise our freedom to follow God alone and not be swayed by appearances.

One thing is consistent, though. We cannot help an ailing patient if our thought and feelings are on the same level as theirs. Far better is it to go off to our private place spiritually, see the claim for what it is and bring our conscious awareness of God’s ever-presence and power to bear on it.

It has been my experience to have healings take place on the inside before I see any evidence on the outside. Oftentimes a problem disappears when all focus on it has been removed.

STATES & STAGES CONT.
Bearing in mind our Goal is total Rest in God and acknowledging we’re anything but that right now, we’ve realized there’s no harm in making a supreme effort to contact God! Ironic as it seems – Him living in and through and AS us – we must want to hear him within.

You can’t go wrong to hold your runaway worldly thinking in check and deal with issues in a more graded manner ‘fore they run you totally off your course. The discipline that you allow to assure this is accomplished is only temporary, rest assured (pun intended).

Talk to God. But be sure to quiet down and listen to Him. Exercise that discipline against intruding thoughts UNTIL you are overcome with Love flooding all your senses and welling up in that thinking box that tried to give you so much trouble! Don’t be afraid to stay put indefinitely – nothing in the world could be more important.

Nothing whatsoever.
