It is God’s day of moving or taking action! People argue that God has His own timing, but the truth is that, it is the day you choose to feel deeply that He actually acts upon. As long as your feelings are locked onto the result unwaveringly and they are deep enough, God within you has the leeway to act. He who is the cause of all life acts through the sense of feeling. You can think of a thousand things, yet not be moved to act upon anyone of them. A deep conviction - felt, is far more important than any thought.
Let us turn to the first chapter of the epistle of James.
James 1:5-8
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him Ask in faith with no doubting, for he who doubts is like the wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. Let not that person believe that a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways, shall receive anything from the Lord."
And then...
James 1:22-25
But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourself. For if you are a hearer only and not a doer, you are like a man who observes his natural face in the mirror and then goes his way, forgetting what manner of man he is like. But if you are a doer of the word and not just a forgetful hearer, you will look into the perfect Law of Liberty [God's Grace], and persevere. That man shall be blessed in all his doings.”
To transition from merely imagining something or thinking about it, to deeply feeling it, is what makes you a doer and not just a forgetful hearer. This is how you go about being a doer in the place of a hearer only? By acting in faith. Scripture’s central character, called Jesus, set no limit upon the love of God and the power of faith. In fact his great deeds were prefaced with the words as: “--According to your faith...” for example in Matthew 9:29 Jesus touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
Now ,its quite possible to perceive that a person is acting in faith, because you will get the sense that their feelings are involved, in what they are doing because, faith encompasses feeling. When you have faith you will act, and once you act, then God who dwells in you and wears you like a garment will not be limited in acting, because God inside you is your own wonderful human imagination whose eternal name is I AM. He acts only when you feel it. This is true even in the most practical of ways. The supernatural power behind that action, depends on your imagination, and your imagination needs your feelings to transmit that power from within you into the world of form. God is acting when you exclaim your deep feelings saying "I am ...."
Supposing you have had a deep seated desire to get out of the doldrums of poverty, and lets say its something you have thought about for long, but after learning to feel deeply, now you have learnt to direct those thoughts to take on the tone of deep feeling, such as the feeling of absolute elation or gladness, then that is the moment when words such as "I am Joyful or gleeful" will be said instead of words as "I wish" or even "oh boy."
Now Lets turn to Matthew 8:13
"And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour."
From the above episode in the bible, lets say I approached you and asked you for something that I badly need or some thing that I would like to be - such as to be healed, and then in your response you told me to go my way, as that which I desire is already fulfilled or that, that which I want, I have become it - and then lets say for one fleeting moment I was able to see the world as you described it to me, the way I ought to see it, and that is, as though it were true, but then in another moment I turn and walk away, forgetting what the world looked like only a fleeting moment ago - then I would have become a forgetful hearer.
But if I were a doer of the word and not just a forgetful hearer only, then what would happen is that I would persevere; or as the King James version puts it "continue in" that desired state. I would keep on keeping on, I would stay focused, stay unwavery, stay single minded in feeling the end from the beginning. Faith Abides in the expected end, as all things are possible to them that believe and those that believe abide in the end. Faith without works is dead – James 2:20, and work in that verse means believing with the only work being “deep feeling.”
When you look into a mirror, you will see a reflection of your face, but there is another mirror in which you can look into. That is the mirror of your close pals; if they heard some good news about you, their faces would beam to reflect their joy, would they not? Assume your desire is now a fact. Feel its substance and reality. Then let your friends see you in that state. They are your living mirror. One of the best techniques to try this imagined joy out is to remember one event in your life that really made you happy. Relive that moment and look at all the joyful faces that rejoiced with you then, feel the joy of the moment. When you step out of that episode back to your current state, you realise how you have travelled between two different states - the rehearsed victory and now. Now back into your current predicament if you are not careful, it is easy to forget what you were imagining a moment back and instead get freshly swamped by your current predicament.
Jeremiah 29:11 says
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." (Jeremiah 29:11).
The "expected end" is what eludes many people, we always expect things to turn out well but do little in defining how the end should feel like, because we are too engrossed with the nitty gritty detail and the "how to", rather than feeling the end. God calls things that be not as though they are ---Romans 4:17. The desired state is what you should lock your mind onto, unwaveringly, impervious to naysayers and single minded against interruptions. Only allow yourself to be sacked into the end. Saturated by how the final outcome feels like.
Now persevere in that desired state and do not turn away only to quickly forget what you are like. Walk through this door of joy tonight in the assumption that you are that man (or woman) you want to be, who comes out the other way with great rejoicing. It doesn’t matter if the outside denies it; be content with what you have seen on the inside, be confident that you have already seen the joyful expression on the faces of your buddies and that you have felt the pats on your back, heard their congratulations... All on the inside, with faith. Now, carry this feeling into the deep and persevere. Lock down your coordinates and lock out any other interfering signals.
In your Imagination, Conjure a living mirror of friends and acquaintances who have heard your good news and accepted it as permanent. See your face reflected in theirs. If they love you, you will see the empathy. They will be rejoicing because of your good fortune. Now, persevere in that awareness and do not forget what you have seen in your living mirror. If you keep this up stubbornly determined not to let go, you will be blessed.
Furthermore You are told in 1Psalms that: “--
"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." (Psalm 1:1- 3).
Were you not liberated from your past when you saw your friend’s faces reflecting what you wanted them to see? Did it not give you a feeling of freedom and arrival when their faces beamed at your great exploit? Did you not feel some form of approval and admiration vibrating towards you. Relive that moment and lock your coordinates on that state.
If you had left the state of poverty, sickness, or weakness behind and moved into the state of wealth, health, or strength - and your friends knew it - you would be set free from your former limitation. So, by looking into the perfect Law of Liberty [God's Grace] and persevering, you are blessed in all that you do as Psalm 1:3 says.
Based on my personal experience this thing works, but the power that enables it is not without, we are the operant power, we are the architect of our destiny. This thing does not operate itself. You may have heard this law by the hearing of the ear and read of it in a book, but do you know that the law works from experience and from within you? Have you tested this truth? Have you proven it? If you have, then you can speak with an authority, which you did not have prior to the proving. Through the use of this law you are completely set free.
Here is how you may try it out, close your eyes and picture the cloud nine hospitality in the airport lounge just after checking in, See yourself flying Emirates heading to Dubai to execute a deal worth 500 Million US Dollars.. Assume that you are with your 4 Children, your wife, your Mom, and your Dad and that you are all aboard the Airbus A380-800 and your daughter Serah is carrying little Stacey. Feel the humming sound of the jet Engine from your seat, feel the ear blockage resulting from altitude change in the air, touch and feel the the comfy fluffy seats of the business Class section and the hollow fibre pillows, picture those cute Arab Air hostesses pampering to you and pouring you your favorite dry red wine as you munch away the Sizzled Chicken, Picture Joanne telling you to tone down on the wine imbibing and commenting at how the egg omelette tastes better than the one of "Bikon". Picture the individual TV screens in front of you, the air cabin crew, then narrow compact toilets on board and their pressurized flash, then the check in at Dubai airport and the Hotel, picture the cheuffer drive over the water to your hotel, assume that now you have arrived exactly at that luxurious 7 star hotel you wish to be. See that well wrapped and packed bathrobes and sandals on on your Water bed. Taste that arabian cuisine, date palms and cool breeze from the sea. Go on and on...suddenly feel the nostalgia of leaving Uganda for a short while... And go on and on... Repeat this whole process over and over again, feeling every step you made aboard the plane, Entebbe through Cairo to Dubai Airport and right into the Family suite well prepared for your Family, a lovely business holiday for you. While in your Hotel, see yourself calling David, Ibra and Martin and telling them how great this trip feels following the application of feeling in this thing. Smell the air of the United Arab Emirates, and a brief test of their hot weather, recount it to your friends, feeling the tone of joy at your achievement. Do everything that makes...the feeling to be brought to bear upon you, until your actions seem natural, then when you are exhausted break it.
Do not be dismayed when suddenly this thing breaks out with such tremendous accuracy, the next day or following week, without any specific reason. Just be content that you got this great exploit following your Imagination, coupled with a deep sense of feeling of the whole episode. This is the only kind of "Works" in the new covenant. The works are not physical or carnal, instead they refer to abiding or dwelling in the end mentally.The end of all revelation being Christ Jesus. It is to rest from all the toil and the "how-tos" of life. You simply live the moment mentally and then you are able to live it physically. Signs and wonders always follow as a witness, they do not preceed this formidable act of imagining, for imagining creates reality.
Now "Feeling-the-moment" as opposed to "toiling-the-how-to" towards Christ-the end is a place of rest only for those willing to believe. Hebrews 4:3 says "For this is for we who have believed to enter that rest, as He has said: So I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest, although the works were finished from the foundation of the world" - whatever you desire is already finished, even before you ask it. What is needed is to transport your physical element, i.e your flesh and imagination to that point, the end. Living in the end, by faith is "Resting-in-the-Finished-work". Faith and resting mean, to abide in the End, where all the work is completed in Christ.
This "deep feeling" of the end from the beginning is where God or "I AM" is said to call things that be not as though they are----Romans 4:17. This is the same rest with which the "I AM" in you may cause the weary - the sense realm, the carnal man who has sweated with the detail and the "how-tos" and is brow-beaten, to cease from his effort and to instead be transported supernaturally to the end through experiencing the result mentally. It is to live in the result mentally by grace and yet have confident expection of the result physically. And, This is the refreshing - even as you speak in tongues--- Isaiah 28:12.
Isaiah 55:1-6
Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live.I will make an everlasting covenant with you,my faithful love promised to David. See, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander of the peoples. Surely you will summon nations you know not, and nations that do not know you will hasten to you, because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.” Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.
Some people wonder if it is a Christian thing to do, to feel your desires, because to them this is like New thought or New Age stuff. But I tell you, this is the only Christian thing to do, if at all you are to operate in faith, these signs follow them that believe ---Mark 16:17 and it fulfills God's law of Mark 11:23 which assuredly says to you, that whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. How it is going to be fulfilled should not be my concern. All I concern myself with is that whatever I desire, if I will but believe I have received it. Simply understand that there is no way God will ever create a desire in the human heart that he has not already provided its satisfaction. This is true of every human desire in this world, as well as the greatest of all desires, which is the thirst for God.
If you really want an experience of God, then apply this principle towards it. Do what I did when I wanted to leave Kampala and go to Dubai. I looked into the perfect law of liberty [God's Grace] and persevered. God doesn’t give you one Principle for your desires of this world and then another Principle for your search for him. It’s the same law. If you have had the experience of which I speak, would you tell someone about it? Is it a consuming desire, or do you want something other than that first? Perhaps you want a lovely home, security in the sense of money in the bank that you can touch, or forex trade in CFDs, Minerals, Stocks and Currencies that pays super dividends.
If you want to feel wealthy, travel, and have lots of things before you thirst for an experience of Christ, then you are dealing with a secondary desire as though it were the primary, so don’t try it. But if an experience of Christ is your consuming desire then don’t hesitate to put it to the test. Put first things first. If your first desire is to know God, then apply this principle towards it and let the ensuing thirst for God take its own good time to envelop you, and when it does apply this principle towards it.
Feel in depth, for what you feel deeply is more vital than what you think. Every day you can think about how wonderful it would be if... and yet never come round to acting. But if every day you would feel how wonderful it is now, it will become true. Think about it this way, that the joy I am having today is a result of yesterday's imagining. Question is when it expires, do I have to start another process all over again to create the reality of tomorrow? Certainly not. Instead daily I churn out feelings because daily God releases new desires in me and so daily I live out their realities. Each desire sparks off a new episode of feelings.
Shakespeare said: “--Assume a virtue if you have it not.” Assume a Virtue Now, if you happen to have none. A virtue must be felt to be assumed. But if you make a habit of refraining from the assumption now, it will be easy to refrain from it again and again in the future. On ther hand if you will assume that your desire is fulfilled now, and persevere in that assumption through the sense of feeling, it will be externalized as a literal fact in your world. The only reality is in the mind. All things are yours this way, through assumption. Things that be not as though they are have to be called forth by deep feeling as though they are, and they will manifest - a super irreversible principle of God.
I am calling upon everyone to put this into practice. Every desire contains its own satisfaction to be fed upon and the satisfaction can only be explained or defined to the subconscious mind by deep feeling. It’s entirely up to you. You may feed your hunger by thinking of your desire, or choose to feed its satisfaction by thinking from its fulfillment through deep feeling of the end result. We do not fight for victory, we fight from victory. We are not trying to take back territory but are defending territory. This is the sense behind this principle of resting in the finished work.
Ephesians 2:6-7
"And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus." It is God who gives you every desire, be it for things of this age or the age to come - as told us in Amos 8:11 that “The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “when I will send a famine through the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.
When you want to speak the word of God, and it so happens that your hunger is not for the hearing of the word, but for the glamour connected with the teaching, it is the spotlight you desire and that too has been provided for. Every desire can and will be satisfied, if you will look into the law of liberty and persevere. Then you will be blessed in all you do.
I urge you who are on a sincere quest to know God, to use this principle [Grace] to try and create within yourself a longing for the deepest of all desires, this being to know God experientially. If you can really esteem this thirst for God above everything else, then use the same Law of Liberty [God's Grace]. Take this snapshot in your mind, of all the beaming faces of your pals and see yourself saying to them with deep conviction and feeling that you have encountered God experientially. That you felt the entire episodes of the life of Jesus, from the time He was being baptized in the Jordan, to the descending of the dove on Him, to the teachings and miracles, to the crucifixion and then the resurrection and the asending into heaven. See all those episodes as events unfolding within you. Feel yourself to be Jesus and that His life is now your life, and Feel all the suffering He went through in your mind, feeling every event as an event in your life, I tell you, you will know and understand Him in a way those who have read the Gospels thousands of times and those who have physically interacted with Him, have never known Him as described in ----2Corinthians 5:16[Msg Bible].
It reads "Because of this decision we don't evaluate people by what they have or how they look. We looked at the Messiah that way once and got it all wrong, as you know. We certainly don't look at him that way anymore. Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new.
So you can be united with Christ by simply feeling Him Imaginally and ceasing to read about Him as that unusual character in history, and instead feeling yourself to be the one going through His episodes. Feeling Him this way certainly goes beyond the flesh for we no longer know Christ this way. Movies like the Passion of the Christ will not mesmerize you, because you have felt everything deeply and even more intensely as though it actually, happened to you. Dont just think about it, feel it deeply. When this flow of feelings starts, lock them unwaveringly and then persevere, for God has provided a satisfaction for that hunger and you will know it. If Jesus life as described in the bible was a movie, you would be the one behind the Camera, that as things happen its as though they are happening to you.
On the other hand, if such hunger is not yet upon you and your sincere desire is just the good things in life and to live “Happily-Ever-After”, well... that too is not entirely a bad hunger to fulfil, simply use the same principle of the perfect Law of Liberty [God's Grace] and persevere. Having acted and even achieved your goal, don’t turn and forget what manner of man you are, do not forget how you arrived there in the first place, but sleep in that conviction, and in a way you do not know, it will be yours perpetually.
Another common phenomenon in this day, is the recognizing of special memorial days for those passed on. But until you understand that there is: not one moment in time, that is holier than another because of the indwelling presence of Christ in you the hope of all Glory, and that, as such there is no earthly place more sacred than the other, that where you stand becomes holy ground, then it is going to be hard to awaken out of the commemoration syndrome. Wherever you stand is sacred ground because you are there. Today is celebration day because, you are here now. The kingdom of God abides within you, the “Gullivers” of this world, and I am saying Arise, and judge the earth! For it is you who possesses all the nations -- Psalm 82:8
Today here in Uganda several families are celebrating various Memorials for the 711 Al-Shabab bombings as I write, remembering the dead and placing flowers on graves their loved ones do not occupy.I tell you through the same principle of looking "feelingly" into the perfect law of Liberty, you have the ability and power to engage, those who have passed on. Only one who is awakened can penetrate this veil of death consciously. If you have awakened to your "I-AMness" and become established in your "being" of Christ, it is easy now for that new man to transcend consciously; beyond the world of dream and enter into the world of spirit wide awake and meet those loved ones there.
So while men will be busy thinking of the dead, you will be rejoicing in the life that is everlasting - because to you, people never die and you can engage them anytime at will. That’s why Jesus says in Matthew 8:22...Follow me; and let the dead burying their dead." Anyone who has not yet awakened to know that Flesh is but a garment is dead and as such takes after the same kind. However if have come out of that slumber, you have arisen from the dead and you now speak of a Living God who is real, you take after the resurrected kind. So why go to the cemetery to put flowers or a flag on that which is not there? The body may have been placed there, but not the spirit, not the being.
Matthew 27:33-34 Amplified Bible
And when they came to a place called Golgotha [Latin: Calvary], which means The Place of a Skull,...
Calvary is the Skull, it is the place where you died as Christ after the crucifixion, by then you were the old man. The brain, which holds your mind is found in the Skull. You are buried in the skull and in that skull you will remain, dreaming your dream of life until you awaken and are born the second time - until you resurrect as the new man - this whole episode is revolving in the mind- with the heart [mind] a man believes, a man is renewed in the mind, a man gets reborn again with the mind and not the flesh nor the Spirit. In the Skull you will meet David, who reveals you as God the Father. It is from there you are going to be split in two and ascend into the Holy of Holies. You were begotten in that skull and you will end the drama there, to know you are one with the one and only Living God.
In the 25th and 27th chapters of the Book of Genesis, the story is told of Isaac, who had two sons. The first son, Esau, had hair all over while the second son, Jacob, was hairless. Being blind, Isaac calls Esau and asks him to go get some venison for dinner. Jacob through Rebekah his mother, having overheard the request, faked his father by clothing himself in the skins of his brother Esau and took the venison to his father. Isaac, hearing Jacob’s voice began to doubt, until he touched him, to feel his reality and caught Esau's odor. Satisfying himself that the son was real, Jacob was given the father’s blessing. When Esau returned from the hunt Jacob vanished, but Isaac said: “--Although your brother came through deception, I have given him your blessing and I cannot take it back.”
You may ask but why, why couldnt Isaac recall his blessing?
Feelings in the subconscious world are like a password in the computer world, the moment access is granted it cannot be retracted. It is kind of like; once an object is placed before a mirror, it cannot be reflected. So it is with a blessing; that once released with feeling it cannot be retracted because it will have been captured on the subconscious radar. Now after smothering [completely suffocating or drowning] yourself in the feeling, what will ensue is that you have deployed those feelings onto their target, you have sent them onto their way and just as a bullet cannot be recalled once its released, the feelings cannot be taken back.
Sustained and unperturbed imagination with feeling is an extremely powerful form of prayer, as prayer is nothing more than the subjective [inward] appropriation of an objective [outward] hope. Prayer is the most highly accelerated mind action that steps up mental activity into level of consciousness synchronous to the mind of Christ. Imagine by giving objective reality to your hope. In other words you consciously perceive through the objective elements, something that you desire intensely, then within your mind [Subjective element] you act like you already have it and have began enjoying it, then it manifests- i.e, and if you do not doubt in your mind, but believe that those things which you say will happen; you will have whatever you say. (Mark 11:23).
In the Jacob and Esau Story, it is evident that Hair is the most objective thing on a man. If you were blind like Isaac, the most convincing aspect on your son is their body odour and their hair which also carries body odour. So until you bring your hope or your target so close that you can feel it or smell it, the way it would be like when you are actually living it, it will still be far from you. So you have to engage memory and all the inner senses, i.e, inner-smell, inner-taste, inner sense of feeling, inner hearing and inner sight, to imagination, to fully contruct faith and hope and then you will be like He that calls things that be not as though they are in Romans4:17 inside your mind.
This whole episode is what Isaiah 55:1 means by “Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters;And you who have no [ a ] money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk Without money and without cost.” The entire drama is going on within your imagination and you are living through it from within. You are “drinking and eating” which involves all the 5 senses, from within and no money or cost is required. We live in a world where there is a price on everything, but there is no price on accessing these things in the mind. Therefore Money is not standing between you and what you lack or what you desire, your desires at will can be manifested from within and what is within dictates what is without, as all outer change follows inner Change. The answer is lived within first and then it breaks out to the outside- finite realm. This is what being a witnesses unto Christ -[ the end of all salvation] both in Jerusalem [the inner city], and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth[outward - finite realm] in Acts 1:8 means. While still in Jerusalem ask yourself what it would be like if it were up to you to be out there. All men have free access to Jerusalem and can be witnesses of the desired end, and all this takes place within.
Gen 27:22-24 So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau." And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his Brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him. Then he said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He said, "I am."
My objective in this missive is that you clothe yourself in that deep feeling – and by so doing, you will have clothed yourself in the reality of an Esau. The world may not immediately reflect your feeling, but you have set your desire in motion and cannot take it back. You have given a subjective state to your blessing by giving it objective reality. Now it must fulfill its destiny so that you will be blessed in all that you are doing. It’s kind of like you have loaded your gun, taken aim at your target, your target being “the desired end”, pulled the trigger and in that instant you wait for the results with confident expectation of good.
If you don’t give your subjective hope, objective reality, you can’t see the fulfillment of the blessing within you, which you desire to manifest. You must clothe yourself in the feeling that your wish is fulfilled. Jacob is your desire, waiting to be clothed in the feeling of external reality. Catch the feeling, and you have clothed Jacob with the external reality of Esau. Now deceive yourself into believing that your desire is externally real, and give it your blessing by subjectively appropriating your objective hope.
Who is the blind Isaac?
You are, for you cannot see what you are asking for in your outer world. It’s a hope and you are blind to it. But when you clothe yourself in the feeling of its fulfillment, you are eating the feeling of satisfaction. Feast upon this feeling morning, noon, and night, and in a way you do not know your desire will become an objective reality in your world.
Gen 27:26 Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come near now and kiss me, my son."
In this story we see the importance of feeling. Feeling makes a lot of sense to people just as tasting, hearing, smelling, and seeing do. In the spirit realm these senses can be engaged profitably, within the mind, and the mind can mimic the physical reaction of the senses mentally, to accurately create the full picture of the desired end. In the realm of the spirit, one can apply all the five senses both to discern and to create. So, Isaac asked Jacob to come close and kiss him. The word translated as “--kiss” from the original bible text written in Hebrew means, “--to set on fire; to burn; to touch.” We know what a kiss does to intimacy; it sparks off a chain reaction of emotions and may result into sexual consummation. Judas applied the kiss in Mathew 26:48, to signal the one to be seized, and that resulted into the crucifixion of Jesus, which is another form of consummation. Therefore a kiss is an emotion, it is an intense feeling, a kiss is of the touch sense, which partners with feeling sense. Reality is felt through the sense of touch. Feeling is touch, it connects. Tasting is touch – it connects. To elaborate this further, when two people are craving each other, their communication is at one level if all they do is think and talk to each other. But the minute they kiss, those intense thoughts and feelings transform into actions, what was within is now consummated – it is externalized as a birth.
Heb 2:9 (Amp) But we are able to see Jesus, Who was ranked lower than the angels for a little while, crowned with glory and honor because of His having suffered death, in order that by the grace (unmerited favor) of God [to us sinners] He might taste [experience] death for every individual person.
Heb 2:18 (Amp) for because He Himself [in His humanity] has suffered in being tempted (tested and tried), He is able [immediately] [3] to run to the cry of (assist, relieve) those who are being tempted and tested and tried [and who therefore are being exposed to suffering].
Scripture is showing us that Jesus faced every form of temptation and even tasted death for all of us. How do you taste death? By experiencing it. Jesus tasted death by dying in all, that all may know who He is. It means Jesus lived your life and tasted death through your mind’s eye, so that there is no pain or feeling that any one will ever go through that He hasn’t felt before. From the primitive aborigine in Australia to the sophisticated IT engineer in America’s NASA, He knows and He is one with the pain at all of those levels. He knows what it feels like.
Now if Jesus had to taste your experience to attain the goal of setting you free, it means we follow the same pattern, that we have to feel the life we desire by experiencing it through sensory perception, before we see freedom. Put this teaching into practice and live the life of your dreams. Jesus taught you to simply appropriate a subjective state which is your objective hope, and understand that it must externalize itself in your world. Do that and it will be released or manifested or discharged.
Ask in faith, without doubting, for those who doubt, are like the wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. They are double-minded, for they know what they are while desiring to be something else. You must be single-minded by dropping what you believe you are and assuming that you are already what you desire to be, for you cannot desire something you already possess. Look into the wonderful Law of Liberty [God's Grace] which sets you free, and you will see your freedom in the faces of your friends. Persist in your assumption and it must come to pass.
Next time we will investigate the beautiful connection, between understanding – knowing – intercourse and oneness. Let us go into peace.
its nice piece, i love it
