IS IT JUST ME ??? I have found that as I build truth into my life that is revealed by the Spirit and that revealed truth continually makes me free, that deconstruction of all that is false is automatic and it evaporates from my belief system. My whole theological world has been turned upside down the last 13 years and it has come from a construction of what is truth and not a deconstruction of what is false.

Boomerangs and Attention Deficit Disorder don’t mix.
We’ll be attending the National Schizophrenic’s Convention. Anybody who’s everybody will be there.
Funny..I don’t remember being absent-minded…
Are you GOING TO be happy? WILL you be coming into joy? WHEN you REACH a foreseeable goal, WILL you BE just about ready to START to claim your joy?
WHEN ???
Paul and Silas, in prison, facing execution, were so joyful, doing the will of the Lord, THEY BEGAN SINGING !!!
S ▪ I ▪ N ▪ G ▪ I ▪ N ▪ G !!!!!!!
Such Was Their Joy !!
Labels are so destructive
I’m becoming more and more uncomfortable with the idea of “false teaching.”
It’s just a mostly meaningless term that we slap on anything we disagree with, or haven’t been studious enough to actually look into for ourselves. When we use it, we defile, in both our own eyes, and those who respect our opinion, ideas and thoughts that may be true, but that we were either too lazy, complacent, or fearful to actually look into. The thing is, though, if you take the time to familiarize yourself with an idea, even if you continue to disagree with it, you at least come away with a respect for it when you understand how it works, where it came from, and how it emerged. Like a person whose story you take the time to learn, ideas can be respected, even while being fully rejected. Of course, this does not work across the board, and sometimes the history of an idea only adds to our disdain for it, but most things Christians carelessly slap the label “false teaching” on, do not fall into that category.
When you place a label like that on an idea that is central to a person’s identity, you not only defile the idea itself, but the person, in your mind, and open the door for you finding justification for mistreating and disrespecting that person. And that is never ok.

Oneness takes care of everything
OUR ONENESS WITH GOD
– – – – – – – – – – –
The truth will make you free. It will free your heart. It will free your soul. It will free your mind. You will not have to walk in that bondage of the fear of separation from God for the rest of your life like Israel did and like so many millions of modern day people do today. And when that fear is gone, the heart, the soul, the mind become a much healthier place. They become a place that can deal with what life serves up because it is infused with and exposed to the power of God. It is immersed (or baptized) with the truth. It is immersed with that is produced from knowing our relationship with God is settled forever. You never, and I mean never, have to be concerned about you and God ever again. You can be absolutely confident about it.

Holy Spirit steps in and rescues me
Very, very often, the Holy Spirit steps in and rescues me from myself. He knows I’ve been wondering if I should have “prayed” over this or that and He reminds me that We have been together non-stop 24/7.
He reminds me that I already know that He has all the relevant information. So He simply speaks. Answers to my not-yet-fully-formulated questions, He simply speaks. Plans for what to do today, to my listening ears, He speaks. Wordlessly, silently, He – in my loving spirit – speaks.
THIS right here is why
ALRIGHT, SO WHAT PRECISELY IS DIVINE HEALING ?
– – – – – – – – – – –
The Almighty God, by the Spirit, comes into your soul, takes possession of your brain and manifests Himself in the cortex cells of your brain. When you wish and will, either consciously or unconsciously, the fire of God, the power of God, that life of God, that nature of God, is transmitted from the cortex cells of your brain and throbs through your nerves down through your person, into every cell of your being into every cell of your brain, your blood, your flesh, and your bone, into every square inch of your skin, until you are alive with God! That is divine healing.
~ John G. Lake
So I told the Holy Spirit that I could think of 10-12 thoughts that I’ve already entertained that wouldn’t pass muster with God. He kindly informed me that those were what I had freely chosen instead of the level of Healing that John G. Lake speaks of. :'(
Scientific proof
HOW CAN WE COME AS CLOSE AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO SCIENTIFICALLY “PROVING” ANYTHING, I.E., MAKING CLAIMS THAT ARE GENERALIZABLE ?
(a) Models must be testable
(b) Must generate predictions
(c) Predictions must be able to guide the discovery process.
(d) Must not be merely a default position.
(e) Must abolish counter-claim.
(f) Must extend beyond the intractable problems the opposing paradigm faced.
(g) Must deal with all legitimate scientific concerns.
(h) Must demonstrate all evidence supporting the model.
Dr. Robin Starbuck
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 KJV)
THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT GOD CAUSES EVIL: HE CLEARLY DOES NOT. BUT HE CAN TURN EVERYTHING AROUND AND MAKE IT GOOD FOR YOU.
WHAT WENT YE OUT FOR TO SEE?

It is almost sadness to my soul that men should be astonished and surprised at an ordinary, tangible evidence of the power of God.
