MAKING THOSE TIMELY CONNECTIONS
When we think in terms of events developing as time goes by, we are subscribing to a 3D construct of ourselves, like the pilot who gives the control tower her location in terms of distance – not only north and east – of a given point, but also advises them of her altitude. This dynamic, according to Newton, and most Christians I know, moves forward in one direction and in one-dimensional time. We need a Big Apple to fall on our collective head to accept the fact that we live in – at least – a four-dimensional realm, borne out by the special theory of relativity in which things do not move forward but remain static and everything that we, in all our prayers, hope for, already exists.

The old “you” is dead: you’re free!
THE OLD MAN IS DEAD AND GONE. . YOU’RE FREE !! . LIGHT AND LOVE ARE IN YOU !!
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. [2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. [3] For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. [4] When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. [9] Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; [10] And have put on the new man , which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: [11] Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. [12] Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; [13] Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. [14] And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. [15] And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. [16] Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. [17] And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. [23] And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; [24] Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Colossians 3:1-4, 9-17, 23-24 KJV
Whither shall I flee from thy presence?
O Lord , thou hast searched me, and known me . [2] Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. [3] Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. [4] For there is not a word in my tongue, but , lo, O Lord , thou knowest it altogether. [5] Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. [6] Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. [7] Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? [8] If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there . [9] If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; [10] Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. [11] If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. [12] Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee . [13] For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. [14] I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. [15] My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. [16] Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. [17] How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! [18] If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. [23] Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: [24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139:1-18, 23-24 KJV
What is existence?
WHAT IS EXISTENCE ?
Light, as we know it, consists of wave-like behavior as well as particle-like behavior which only belong to our interactions with it. Light doesn’t have any properties whatsoever of its own: without us, it simply does not exist.This is hard for us to wrap our finite minds around. But let me reiterate: without us, light does not exist. Now I hope you’re sitting down for this one – without light, WE don’t exist!! In short, our precious world (I’m being facetious) – without us – doesn’t exist!

How to keep your healing
I’ve had people say to me, “Brother Hagin, when you laid hands on me, I felt the power go through me just like electricity. It went all over me. For days I was perfectly all right, but now every symptom has come back on me, and I’m worse than I ever was. Can you help me? “Thank God, I can. Thank God, I can,”I tell them. “You see, you were healed on somebody else’s faith, or by a manifestation of the Spirit of God. You didn’t have any foundation of the Word of God in you to help you keep your healing. “You were like the man who built his house on the sand. The storm came and destroyed it. The symptoms came—the devil bluffed you with symptoms—you accepted them, and he put the sickness back on you.”I tell people, “The thing you must do is get to know the Lord through His Word.”

The Thunder of Silence
THE TWO COVENANTS For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. . . . But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. GALATIANS 4:22–24, 26 In our humanhood, we are sons of the bondwoman, in subjection to the flesh and its claims, in bondage to the things, thoughts, and activities of the flesh, whether it be this flesh of the body or the flesh called money or other forms of human living. Living in and through the flesh as the offspring of the bondwoman, we are under the laws of matter, the laws of economics, and the laws of race, religion, and nationality—under the covenant “which gendereth to bondage.” The other covenant is that of our spiritual adoption, which comes through a conscious activity within our own consciousness and at a time when we are prepared for that transition, because the transition from humanhood to spiritual sonship is made only by Grace.

THE THUNDER OF SILENCE
Don’t cancel out your own healing!
Promise yourself one thing: not to cancel your own good efforts!
● I am created in the likeness of God.
□ I NEED money, health, favor, etc.
● Jesus’ work is entirely finished.
□ I missed out on that somehow.
● Man is the righteousness of God.
□ Whatever does that mean?
● Healings are happening all the time.
□ Just not for me!
STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!
You’re canceling out your own healing!
“Seeing anew”
I M A G I N A T I O N : HOPE FULFILLED
– – – – – – – – –
Both the Bible and science tell us that these mortal bodies must first be transformed. After all, our bodies are meticulously designed to function in this particular four-dimensional universe with its particular thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and gravity. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.50 In a flash . . . the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.51 The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.52 These verses suggest we will still have “bodies,”or individual identities, in the realm to which we are headed, but these bodies will no longer experience fatigue, disease, or decay. Clearly, the laws governing their operation will be different from the laws governing our operation today. Our new bodies will be suited to our new environment. Imagine the screen people’s two-dimensional bodies trying to support the screen people anywhere but on the computer monitor’s surface. Such bodies would simply be too unstable, too limited and limiting. The same could be said of our present bodies in whatever dimensional realm He intends to place us. In the words of the apostle John, Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. ….. When we see Him with our own “eyes,” we will be seeing Him with a new and indescribable sight capacity. All our other capacities will be new, too. In fact, they will in several ways be capacities like His, capacities beyond our comprehension, capacities that enable us to participate fully in what He describes as “married life”at home with Him.

“Screen People”
I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO A GROUP OF PEOPLE KNOWN ONLY AS “SCREEN PEOPLE”. THEY ARE TWO-DIMENSIONAL BEINGS WHO RESIDE IN MY – AND NOW YOUR – IMAGINATION. THEY HAVE ONLY LENGTH AND WIDTH, BUT NO HEIGHT. BEING SINCERE SEEKERS OF TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND, OF COURSE, WE WANT TO KNOW HOW THEY WOULD CHARACTERIZE THEIR GOD, SO DR. HUGH ROSS HAS COME FORTH WITH A LITTLE HELP FOR US IN “BEYOND THE COSMOS”:
…Imagine a plethora of debates among screen people who saw dots, lines (of different configurations), circles and ellipses (of different sizes), staying still or moving, appearing or disappearing, enlarging or shrinking. At some point, one group might band together to found the Church of the Three Circles, while another group launches the Ellipsoid Society; another, the Two Circle Fellowship; another, the Science of Lines; and yet another, the Church of the One True Ellipse. These groups might divide up through time, of course, and new groups begin as new interpretations of the revelations arise. The teachings of each group might be similar in some points, but for the most part sharply divergent. We can imagine the ensuing conflicts that might arise should attempts be made to overlook differences and to unite against big social problems. We can even imagine the cynicism of some screen people who say all this talk of higher beings means nothing; all that has appeared is some amazing but explicable (with enough research) screen phenomenon that, once understood, will usher in a new age of screen people consciousness. The great irony of the disagreement about the higher being is that none of these groups and individuals has more than a tiny clue about who that being is and what that being can do. All have an incredibly limited perspective on the attributes of the being, especially on the powers available to him or her.
DO YOU STILL THINK IT’S STRANGE TO PRESUME THAT JUST MAYBE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER (TRINITY AND ALL) RESIDES IN A REALM BEYOND OUR OWN?
