Resurrection Life…living the resurrected life now

I used to believe you had to die to experience resurrection life. Then I realized that there was a spiritual resurrection.

Resurrected life is the only life God wants us to live. Any other life is fruitless and empty. We must choose which life we are going to lead. The resurrection life is a much higher and heavenly life than the fleshly, earthly life and we are hopefully going to share what it takes to live a resurrected life.
Mark 8

35 For if you let your (soulish) life go for my sake and for the sake of the gospel, you will continually experience true life (zoe). But if you choose to keep your (soulish) life for yourself, you will forfeit what you try to keep.
Paul states numerous times to be of one mind and that is the mind of Christ which leads us to the one and only life. As stated in Mark 8, zoe is the only life, the soulish life is a distraction and a lie. We must make a God exchange. Give up the counterfeit life for the genuine, abundant life.
Resurrection life is not a destination but an ongoing spiritual and physical journey. It challenges us to remain open to the unexpected, to find beauty in imperfection, and to see every ending as the prelude to a new beginning.
It is an awakening to the life we have always had but were not aware of. This life can also be called the abundant life or the eternal life.

Judgement Day…it might not be what you think

When most people hear the words judgement day, they automatically think about a judgement of heaven or hell. That’s not the judgment day that God wants us focusing on. I was once caught up in eschatology, which is the study of end times. I had many books that had the author’s opinion on how this was all going to end. They had their charts and diagrams regarding pre-trib or post-trib and who is the antichrist. I threw all of them in the garbage when I finally realized that no one knows for sure how this all shakes out.

Mat 24: 36 “Concerning that day and exact hour, no one knows when it will arrive, not even the angels of heaven —only the Father knows.

I have never seen any of these authors refund any money to those of us who bought their books when it was proven they had missed it. We all see in part and anyway, all this energy on end times isn’t helping to make folks’ better people. Our focus must remain on him and him only.

To the overcomer, the individual who consciously is in the overcoming process, knows that to him every day is a judgment day.

There are two very important decisions we must make and if we do, there will be no fear or concern about anything regarding God’s judgement of us.

Every day should be a judgement day for all of us. This is where it all begins. The Bible encourages examining and judging one's own actions and motives, through the eyes of Jesus, particularly in relation to God's word.

1Cor 11:31

31 If we have examined (judge) ourselves, we should not be judged.

This process of self-reflection requires humility and a sincere desire to align our hearts with God’s will. While we are called to assess our own spiritual journey, it is equally important to remember the spirit in which judgment is approached—one rooted in love, not condemnation. True judgment, as guided by Scripture, seeks to restore, to lift others up, and to walk in the light of grace.

From the Candlestick to the Throne

This is going to be a very uplifting and encouraging message. We have a bright future ahead of us. We have a throne in our future. We are co-heirs with Christ. We must never forget the promises of God.

WE need to first determine where is the candlestick and the throne? Everything we need now and forever is found within. It’s all there. We are to be a candlestick to those in need of light/life and we must be the throne to rule and reign with Christ.

The journey through faith often mirrors the sacred transition signified by these symbols. The candlestick, a radiant beacon lighting the path in darkness, represents our spiritual walk illuminated by God’s wisdom and presence. It serves as a profound reminder of the call to reflect purity and divine virtue, embodying the golden light that shines upon a world often shadowed by despair.
Zec 4:2

He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold (divine), with its bowl [for oil] on the top of it and its seven lamps on it with seven spouts belonging to each of the lamps which are on the top of it. Amp

According to Young’s Literal Translation, many versions of this scripture must be corrected.

and he saith unto me, 'What art thou seeing?' And I say, 'I have looked, and lo, a candlestick of gold -- all of it, and its bowl is on its top, and its seven lamps are upon it, and twice seven pipes are to the lights that are on its top,

The mature sons and daughters of God are the pipes/spouts and guess what, instead of there being 7 pipes, there are 14 pipes.

The number 14 speaks of a double portion.

God provides the oil and we distribute that oil (anointing) to the church, so the light (life) is shining and is given to all.

This revelation invites us to reflect on our roles as vessels of divine purpose. Just as the pipes guide the oil to the lamps, signifying the flow of anointing and blessings, we, as mature sons and daughters of God, are called to carry his light into the world. This double portion of spiritual abundance underscores the magnitude of God's plan—not merely a completion, but an overflow of divine grace. It speaks not only to individual transformation but to the collective empowerment of believers, preparing us for an era of unprecedented spiritual breakthrough.

In Revelation 3:21, Jesus' offer to "sit with me on my throne" symbolizes sharing in His victory and reign. It represents a promise of authority, rulership, and participation in Christ's divine kingdom for those who overcome and remain faithful.

The throne symbolizes the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan through Jesus Christ.

The throne represents kingdom authority. WE are to rule and reign with Christ.

Grace based relationship versus a law-based relationship

A grace-based relationship thrives on unconditional love, forgiveness, and a willingness to embrace imperfections, fostering growth and deeper connection. In contrast, a law-based relationship often revolves around rigid rules, performance expectations, and a focus on earning approval, which can strain the emotional bond over time. The choice between the two shapes the dynamics of trust, freedom, and mutual respect within the relationship.

Let’s first talk about a law-based relationship and what that looks like. Remember, it revolves around rigid rules, performance expectations, and a focus on earning approval, which can strain the emotional bond over time. No matter what we do, we can’t earn our way into heaven or earn our way into God’s love. God loves us unconditionally. When Jesus walked the earth 2000 plus years ago, he spent most of his time speaking with the Jewish folk. He spoke to them in the only way they would understand, the law (ridged rules, performance expectations and a focus on earning approval).
A perfect example of a grace-based relationship verses a law-based relationship is the women caught in adultery. The law people wanted to stone her, but Jesus who embodied grace and love, told her that they might accuse her, but he didn’t.

Another example is the prodigal son. The brother who stayed had a law-based mentality. The son who stayed was incensed at his father for accepting the prodigal back into the family. The father represents our heavenly father. He was all about forgiveness, grace and love. The law says to judge the prodigal, grace says to accept him and love him.

When we embrace a grace-based relationship, we step into a realm where acceptance and love are not conditional but are gifts freely given. This shift away from judgment and strict adherence to rules allows for transformation that is rooted in kindness and compassion. Grace creates an environment where mistakes are not met with condemnation but with understanding, making room for growth and reconciliation.
In choosing grace, we participate in a divine cycle of healing, restoration, and boundless love.

Activity Verses Relationship

For over 2000 years Christians have been doing a lot of things in the name of Jesus and some maybe most of it had nothing to do with Jesus. Our priorities and activities may need to be re-evaluated from time to time. Most of us have been told somewhere in our journey to eat from the wrong tree (this is good/this is bad) We have been told that it is all about doing instead of being. If I try to be a better person and always do the right thing, God would be pleased. Now there is nothing wrong with trying to be a better person, however it must be in the right order. I got the cart before the horse. A relationship with the Lord must come first, to obtain the proper outcome.

Mat 6:33

“But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.

Seek first his kingdom or his realm, which is within. The spiritual realm is beyond the natural. We are not seeking a natural kingdom out there somewhere; we are seeking a spiritual realm where the father dwells and that realm is inside of us. What is this spiritual realm?

It’s a higher realm of consciousness built in accordance with the Christ mind or Christ consciousness. The realm of Spirit is wherever God is working to express Himself. When man becomes the perfect image and likeness of God, no other realm will appear to have been.
There is a huge difference between dead works and God works and James is referring to God works. Many times, we are told to do this and that in order to please God. We must discern between what man says and what God says. Sometimes it is the same but sometimes it is not the same. That is where relationship must enter in. If we are in relation with someone, we know that person very well. We know their likes and dislikes. The Bible is a great guide; however it can be misinterpreted. When we know God’s voice there is no chance to misinterpret that beautiful small still voice of the Father.

Restoration of All Things

Act 3:21
“whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.

Restitution--The resurrection of man to the divine image and likeness in mind and body and to the dominion that has been his from the beginning.

Restitution means restoration of reconstitution. Something has been lost. What was lost? When was it lost and how shall it be restored? The restoration that the Bible is referring to requires us to go back even farther than Eden. Peter spoke to the crowds in the 3rd chapter in the book of Acts.

Here is an interesting thought, If the prophets of old spoke about this great restoration, we must realize that this restoration goes back beyond any of their prophecies, beyond the foundations of the cosmos and beyond the first moment of time. We can’t look at this in a natural, physical realm. So we can’t look at this restoration as something Adam lost, but something God lost. God didn’t misplace and lose his keys. Jesus came to seek and save what was lost. Luke 19:10. Christ came to save not just he who was lost, but the thing that was lost. We are not being restored to Adam, we are being restored to Christ, where we hold out true identity, where there is no beginning and will be no end.

Awareness of Our Oneness – Unity in Christ pt 2

We are going to start off the broadcast today with a quote from Richard Rohr,

True spirituality is not a search for perfection or control or the door to the next world rather it is a search for divine union now.

It is not about building bigger buildings or trying to be a good person, it is about relationship first with God and second with each other. It is about oneness and unity.

Why is this topic so controversial? Madam Jean Guyon was place in a French prison for writing a book on union with God. It is nearly impossible to believe with the natural mind that we can be in union with the almighty. This must be received with the Christ mind that has already been given to you. Eyes that can see beyond the natural. Ears that can hear into the spiritual realm. Stop seeking without what you already have within. Seek God in your heart and you will find him.

Eph 4

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14 So that we are no longer children [spiritually immature], tossed back and forth [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by every wind of [shifting] doctrine, by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything [for personal profit].

15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

Church leaders’ number one job should be to lead folks to a personal relationship with the Lord. Nothing is more important than that.

Awareness of Your oneness – Union with God

Many are seeking without what’s already within.

One, is the origin of all things and the cause of all things. There is one Spirit; one principle of life, love, intelligence, and goodness in, through, and over all. There is but one Mind (Christ). One presence and one power--God, Spirit, is the only presence in the universe, and is the only power. He is in, through, and around all creation as its life and sustaining power. -God is the one Spirit-Mind in which all ideas of life, love, substance, intelligence, and power originate.

union with God--Unification of our consciousness with that of God-Mind. This is the Christ consciousness. "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30).

Consciousness, then, is not merely an awareness of our existence but an alignment with the divine essence that permeates all creation. To awaken to this consciousness is to recognize that we are not separate from the Source but eternally connected, sustained, and empowered by it. This divine consciousness, often termed the Christ consciousness, transcends the illusions of self and connects us to the universal truth: that we are one with Spirit, one with God.

In this state of divine awareness, the boundaries of individuality dissolve, revealing a harmonious flow where our thoughts, actions, and intentions align with the greater will of God. It is through this union of consciousness that the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, and patience—naturally manifest, enriching not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.

The only real unity is in Spirit. It is found nowhere else because personality always strives for its own success and aims for the good of the personal man, instead of the good of all men.
