Why don’t people just “get it”?

IS THE WORD TRUE ? . OR, NOT ?

Hebrews 13:5 KJV
… I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Matthew 28:20 KJV
… lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

THEN WHY DO THEY PRAY IN MANY CHURCHES: “OH, GOD, PU-LEEEZE COME . . . !!” ?
RJS

It’s tradition, habit, upbringing, it is learned behavior and activity of what they think you are suppose to do in order to reach God, they still do not believe that they are one with Christ/God. They still perceive Him as being way out in the cosmos, way out and up somewhere in the sky. Lastly: They simply do not even “hear” what they are saying because it is “AUTO-PILOT” talking and begging!!! It is so hard to let them continue on that path, so we just have to bring awareness in grace as much as possible!!!

How did Jesus heal?

“WHERE 99.99% OF BELIEVERS FAIL IS THAT THEY LOOK TOWARD THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES TO VERIFY THAT WHICH THEY BELIEVE.”

Neville teaches that the Kingdom of God is within us, and that this world is the outpicturing of our imagination. As a man thinks in his heart (beliefs), so is he, and guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it flows the issues of life. These two pieces of scripture describe how life is lived. We are not experiencing life as if we were dropped into a movie that is constantly ongoing, but rather, the movie IS OF OUR CREATION. That is how he talks on stopping time/space and recreating as necessary. EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO THE DREAMER WHICH IS GOD IN YOU! How did Jesus heal people? He imagined them well, and in their agreement through belief, it sealed it as true. Boom, any two agreed and touched and it was so. Neville never really touched on quantum physics, but in my own studies, I know the quantum field to be the “substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.” Our thoughts are of the quantum realm. Just like the video of the train, the perspective that we choose to take literally becomes true! We can CHOOSE to shift into any reality that we prefer. It is called “quantum leaping.” [Quantum jumping is the shifting yourself into an alternate reality of yourself that already exists. “You are somewhere in your future, and you look much better than you look right now.”]
We no longer have to abide by the crude tasks of physically forming our environment around us, we believe it to be so, and at a quantum level, forces shift to support that thing believed. Where 99.99% of believers fail is that they look toward their circumstances to verify that which they believe. That belief undermines one’s belief that “we walk by faith, and not by sight.” Once we believe something to be true inside of us, the outside is surely to manifest, even if it seems to take longer than expected. “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” This is Job, channeling the pre-incarnate Spirit of Christ, and the ultimate in power over death. We know that we have been given power over death, when we KNOW that though our bodies may wear out, and we APPEAR TO DIE, the Spirit of LIFE is so one with us, that we will be raised up, because life is life, and that is just who we are. Everything is happening within us. This life is a classroom that teaches the sons of God to overcome limitations imposed, that require the mastering of this realm called death and hell. BTW, hell is just the state of existence without (sin) the knowledge of one’s origination. Heaven is the state of being fully aware of one’s righteousness in Christ. It is not a place in the traditional sense. Heaven is in our thoughts created by our higher nature, and hell is in our thoughts created by our base nature, or physical needs. The two trees discussed in Genesis are the two foundations FROM which all thoughts are formed. Dualistic thoughts are created from our lower nature, and the knowledge of ONENESS, and UNION with the Father, is created from the mind of Christ. I could go on forever, but I see that I have written quite the book just now. Maybe I will do just that, as I feel that someone needs to pick up where Neville left off.

Eschatology 101 – Definitions

Beast – secular government
Harlot – religion
Mark of the Beast – mindset of one indoctrinated through secular government
Christ – the mindset of one set free from the world system
AntiChrist – “in place of” Christ. The mindset of the world system that declares “government is the answer”

Just beginning to knock over some incorrect definitions of common “end time phrases,” that will open people up to being able to understand Bible prophecy. It is all a pattern, not a history book. Comments welcome.

Anonymous: “Would call it Preterism 101”

Actually no. My “theology” cannot be labeled. This is not preterism, as I only believe that scripture is fulfilled as if a script has already been written, but I am experiencing it in me. Big difference. It is a pattern that plays out in the ages.

Take a moment to consider that God is everything. Not a being on the outside, but the spirit in everyone, across all forms and faces. God dwells in you, whether you know it to be so or not. This is not to assert that you are a house for God, and you invite ‘him’ in to visit, it is that you are God in your spirit, in your imagination. Just like everyone and everything else. Every person on Earth is God too, whether they agree to this or not. The entire world is God, although awakening to it is to be truly alive. When Jesus said he is God’s son, he meant he is of God, but this statement is not limited to Jesus, for to follow the analogy further, we are all God’s sons and daughters, no better or worse than one another are.
How To Read The Bible
As taught by Neville Goddard
A Guide to the Human Imagination Understanding Scripture
Neville Goddard & Levi Elton

I posted on Sunday evening about the problems that arise when we interpret imagery from the book of the Revelation too hyper-literally. What it boiled down to was that one is then forced, in order to be consistent, to interpret all of the book’s wild, apocalyptic imagery literally as well, leaving us with Godzilla-like creatures living in earth’s oceans, space-dragons, and biblical “villains” attending first century congregations, centuries after their deaths.

Another issue with interpreting the lake of fire imagery as we do, is what it does to the Protestant doctrine of salvation. Were I to ask you, as a Protestant, “who goes to the lake of fire?”, how would you answer? It’s likely you’d, if you’ve got your doctrine sorted correctly, answer with something simple like “unbelievers.” And at least, according to the Revelation text, you’d be right. So, were you asked directly by someone who, let’s say, was involved in sexual activity that you deemed unsavory and immoral, “Will I go to hell because of said activity?”, again, if your doctrinal ducks were in a row, you’d likely answer with, “No, you’d go to hell because you’re an unbeliever and rejected Christ, but not because of any particular action.”

Here, though, is where the text in question would begin disagreeing with you. Let’s take a look:

8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
-Revelation 21:8, NIV

Sure, “unbelieving” is on that list, but only after “cowardly,” and is then followed by other actions, like sexual immorality and lying. The issue here is that if rejection of Christ and unbelief is *what sends someone to hell, why all the behaviors? Why not leave it at unbelief? It seems like all these extras only add to the confusion. Also, in light of this, the Protestant doctrine of salvation not being by works, etc., stops…working, because here it is specifically *works and actions that are sending people to this place.

Now, sure, we could simply say that these are metaphors-behaviors typifying the villainous force in the book, and doesn’t mean specifically that anyone who is a cowardly , occasional truth-stretcher, will go to hell. But at that point, why not understand the lake of fire itself to be a metaphor? If you’re willing to metaphor-ize one part of the book, why not other parts?

Just some thoughts for this lovely, Tuesday morning.

Done!

Warning Warning Warning
You’re really going to want to get this! It’s a bit uncanny, but the fact is the warning is always exactly the same (which at least simplifies everything immensely). Whether suffering from physical, emotional or spiritual distress; poverty, isolation, obsessiveness, doubt, fear, lovelessness, etc., ad nauseum, the culprit is identical: you’ve gone off track with God. Don’t wish the pain to subside – not until you’ve effectively faced and dealt with the root cause that keeps lurking in multifarious guises. Get a hold of that and yank it out and you’ll be free to soar! Oh, but one caveat to put you in mind of: there’s nothing whatsoever that you can do that will weigh one jot or one tittle in the balance of God. Don’t despair: He will do everything for you. And this, by virtue of the fact that He’s already done all that needs to be done. The prize is yours, here and now.

Paul would have … !

“If only Paul had been accorded a few amenities in his life – freedom from imprisonment, for example – he could have … and would have done so very much more,” you say?

Yes, he could have.

And he would have.

His impact at that time would have been far more spectacular and far-reaching.

He would have … because he could have … healed and restored thousands more.

He would have done everything conceivable, except, perhaps, to write half of the New Testament.
