To Infinity and BEyond

9/9/2014

At times, the five senses have certainly seemingly impeded our spiritual awakening.
We rely on our sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell to dictate our lives on a daily basis. Why?

Often the focus is centered around, “Does this look good on me? Oh, do I smell good? That does not taste that good…” have we built a world based upon the perceptions of our five senses? Perhaps…

People that are blind, deaf, without limbs…have this label of ‘DISabled’ on a physical level however on a spiritual level are quite ‘ENabled’.  ENlightened happens to begin with ‘EN’ as well which means ‘IN’. quite interesting….perhaps the enabling leads to the enlightening of what IS (into) YOU without passing through senses (no filters, no words or translations).
Picture
Hearing sounds we have not heard, seeing colors we have not seen, touching what we have not touched, experiencing flavors and scents that we have not experienced….Eyes have not seen...ears have not heard....that may even be in the bible. ;-)

When the frequency is different, the experience is different

Is it possible that disabled is actually enabled?

Perhaps we ARE infinity and BEyond.....
Perhaps LIFE IS BEyond words...
You are the color of LOVE!
You ARE a double rainbow!
LOVE you ALL

The Pineal Gland- The gateway to consciousness and awareness

9/1/2014

15 Comments

 
The pineal gland is a topic that seems to be gaining traction in today's society.  It seems that this truth has been held as a secret throughout time.  I was quite surprised to see how many civilizations and public figures in the past have blatantly displayed this amazing gland in plain view for the world to see.  SO, I am wondering how is it that as a society we seem to know so little about the awakening powers of the pineal gland. 
Picture
The pineal gland is not technically a part of the brain as it is not protected by the blood-brain barrier.  It is located in the center of the brain's mass and receives more blood flow than any other part of the body except the kidneys.  Without the protection of the blood-brain barrier, it is subjected to toxins and mineral deposits over time.  The main mineral that calcifies the pineal gland is fluoride.   
Picture
The pineal gland is responsible for regulating serotonin, melatonin and melanin.  When it becomes calcified through fluoride and other toxins, every system throughout the body is impacted.  There are many ways to decalcify and keep the pineal gland functioning optimally.  If you would like to know more details, send a request through this link.
Picture
Hitler used fluoride in the water and diet of the Jews to dumb them down so that the Jews could be easily controlled and manipulated.  The Russians also used the same strategy in their concentration camps.  Ironically, or not, the US gov't took over Hitler's research in the late 40's-early 50's and in 1956 started pumping massive quantities of fluoride into the public water supply of American citizens.  In 1972 it was added to toothpaste.  Today in 2014, if you look at the fine print on the toothpaste labels, it will warn that this product contains poison.  Showering in fluoridated water can be just as damaging as the skin is the largest organ in the body and it absorbs what touches it.  A reverse osmosis filtration system will effectively remove fluoride from tap water.  Also to note, fluoride can be in bottled water too, as it is not regulated to disclose on the labeling. 

Many ancient civilizations have thought the pineal gland to be where telepathic thought transmissions and visual images are received.  This tiny pinecone-shaped gland is about the size of a pea.  The word "pineal" comes from the Latin pinea, which means "pinecone".  The fascination with the pinecone is consistent throughout history in the highest forms of spiritual artwork.  Descartes (named it the seat of the soul), Pythagorus, Plato, Iamblichus and many others wrote of this gland with great reverence.  The Catholic church (see the Pope's staff below), Greek gods, Mexican gods, Egyptian gods, Assyrian/Babylonian gods, Roman gods, Hindu gods, the Buddha's hair, King Tut's burial and many more all depict the shape of the pinecone on their staffs, statues, sculptures, sacred stones, etc. 
Picture
The largest pinecone sculpture in the world is prominently featured in Vatican square-in the Court of the Pinecone (pictured below).
Picture
The Roman god of drunkenness and revelry, Bacchus, carries a pinecone staff.
Picture
Also depicted on the American dollar bill.
Annuit Coeptis means "announcing conception".  The pineal gland is responsible for producing melanin in the body.  Melanin is present at the conception of LIFE.  It is present in the seed of plants and is the chlorophyll that gives the plant and fruit it's pigment.  It is also present as a coating on the egg and sperm of humans.  Huge significance here. 
Picture
Plato says in The Republic (Book VII), "the soul through these disciplines has an organ purified and enlightened, an organ better worth saving than ten thousand corporeal eyes, since truth becomes visible through this alone."

It is claimed that the biggest secret of Freemasonry is the regeneration of the human being into a Divine state through the awakening of the pineal gland.  Each of the thirty-three degrees of Masonry correspond to one of the vertebrae in the human spine as the kundalini fire rises up to merge with the pineal gland.
Picture
There are ways to cleanse the pineal gland to bring clarity to your experience and a greater sense of AWAREness and discovery.  If you would like to understand further, contact me through this link or call or text directly at 321 460-0463

Did Abraham fear the Father? ♥

Is fear one of those words hugely mistranslated in our minds? ♥



How could Abraham fear the Father.....

Abraham clearly knew that he and Isaac would be returning back down the mountain (Genesis 22:5)

Also in Genesis 15:1, The Lord says to Abram, 'DO NOT FEAR, Abram, I am a shield to you; your reward shall be very great.'

Abraham did not fear the Father, HE KNEW the Father. 

When you KNOW LOVE, there is no fear.


There are 365 verses in Scripture that advise us to not be afraid.  Jesus tells Peter and the disciples on the boat as Peter is about to walk on water...  'Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!'

One verse for each day of the year!  A daily reminder that Papa does not want you to be afraid.  There is no fear in love because perfect love casts out fear.  ♥ 

Thank you Father! ♥

Is God Angry?

2/26/2013

Many people discuss or believe that God is angry with mankind.  If He is not now, He was at one point in time.  This idea also leads many to believe that the Father poured out all of His wrath onto His beloved Son in order to spare mankind from any harm that was to come. 

I am just not seeing it.  When I read the Scriptures, I see the Father as loving, caring, restoring, healing, correcting, redeeming, saving, guiding, illuminating, opening, revealing, and so much more.  The common theme is restoration.  That which is lost is found.  That which is blind is made to see.  That which is dead is resurrected.  That which is covered in darkness is illuminated in light. 

God is love!  Love never fails!  Perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment. 

Picture
















As we start to look at the Father through the lens of love which only He can provide, it changes how we view everyone else.  Suddenly, our relationships begin to transform as the love inside of us flows out freely to all the we touch.

So, if God is not mad at us and never was....why did Jesus come to earth?  why did he have to die like he did?

Picture



Jesus came to show us our reality.  He came to show us that we are the righteousness of God.  He came to show us that the Father is not angry at us like many Old Covenant peeps believed.  He came to show us that as he is, so also are we in this world.  What a powerful truth.  God loves you right where you are.  As this truth is realized, your life will change.  Get ready!  Papa is going to knock your socks off. 

Jeremiah 33:3, "Call to Me and I will answer you and I will show you great and mighty things which you do not know. "

God Restores ALL

There are some key words that have been widely mistaught in church  over the centuries.  Today, we will look at the words lost, perish, and destroy.

The concept 'destruction', 'destroy', or 'perish' are key terms in  the Bible used to support the teaching of either annihilation or the concept of eternal conscious torment.  The terms  'destruction', 'destroy', or 'perish' lead to many differences of opinion.  Most of the conclusions  are not Scripturally based.

How do we come up with the actual definition of  a word
in the Bible?  Well, many theologians say that the first occurrence of a word in the Scriptures reveals its meaning.  But it is certainly a "reach" to suggest that the first occurrence of a word gives its primary meaning, since it is not known exactly when the Gospels were written.  Matthew is thought to have been written around A.D. 50; Mark, the date is not known; Luke was thought to have been written in A.D. 59 to 63, and the Gospel of John, for a long time was assumed to  have been written in the A.D. 70's, but it probably was written closer to the  A.D. 50's. Paul wrote Romans around A.D. 57, and yet all of these dates are estimations. So just looking at the "first instance" of a word in the Bible does not mean that was the first instance it was used chronologically.  Therefore, the "first" occurrence of the word is not necessarily its "primary" meaning.

The only sound system of determining the "primary" or essential meaning of any word is to gather all of its 
occurrences in the Bible, and to make certain that its meaning never contradicts  any of the contexts in which it is used.

As we study the word 'apollumi' in the Greek Scriptures, it is often  translated 'destroy', 'perish' or 'lost' describing the wicked.  Does this word apollumi really mean 'to deprive of life' for eternity (without end)?  Let's allow the  Bible to interpret itself and give us the true meaning of 'apollumi'. 


Picture
Sometimes apollumi is translated 'lost' such as in the 'lost' sheep,  while the sheep remained alive.  In other places, the same word, 'apollumi', is  translated 'perish' or 'destroyed' and the implication in these  last two instances is that the individual is dead.

But the same word, 'apollumi', CANNOT mean 'to be
alive' in some instances AND 'to be dead" in other instances.  In other words, the same word cannot  mean both 'death' and 'life'.


Picture
The Greek word, apollumi (#622 below),  is  often translated 'lost', when the 'lost' item was subsequently 'found'  such as in the parable of the 'lost' sheep (Luke 15:6), the 'lost' coin (Luke 15:9), and  the 'lost' son (prodigal son in Luke 15:32). 

In NO instance had the sheep,  the coin or the prodigal son died.  And of course, the coin NEVER HAD life.  Therefore, the word apollumi CANNOT mean 'to deprive of life'.

These three parables all reveal what was once (apollumi) is now found.  They are examples of restoration not destruction.

Luke 15:6, "And when he comes home, he calls together with his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost (apollumi)!'

Luke 15:9,
"When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost (apollumi)!'

Luke 15:31-32, "And he said to him, 'Son, you have always been with me, and all that is mine is yours.  But we had to celebrate and
rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has begun to live, and was lost (apollumi) and has been found.'

Luke 19:10,  "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost (apollumi)."


Picture

Picture
The same word, apollumi (#622 below), is also often translated as 'perish'. In Romans 2:12, "For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish (apollumi) without law:"

In Peter 2:12, "and shall utterly perish  (apollumi) in their own corruption."

Matthew 18:14, "So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish (apollumi)."

 And in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10, "Even him whose coming is after the working of  (the carnal mind) with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish (apollumi): because they received not the love of the truth, that they might  be saved."
 



Picture




The same word, apollumi is also often translated, 'destroy' and is assumed to mean 'to deprive of life' as in John   10:9-10 where Jesus is speaking,

"I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.  The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy (apollumi); I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."

Please note that there are three words used to describe
what  the thief comes to do: 1) steal, 2) kill, 3) destroy. The word translated 'kill'  is the Greek word 'thuo'  which means to slay or slaughter, as in slaughtering sacrifices.

Obviously the word 'kill' (thuo) CANNOT mean the 
same as the word 'destroy' (apollumi) for two reasons:
 
1) each word is a different word in the Greek

2) it would be redundant if the word 'destroy' meant  to kill, because if it did, the passage would read, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and kill."



Picture


























Since the Bible was NOT originally written in  English, we must look to the original  language of Greek and Hebrew, the original words that God inspired, and let the Bible interpret  itself.  If we don't, then we are taking the words of man, a translation by  committee consensus, as our guide rather than the Divine Word of God.

The  proper definition of each word in the Greek is revealed when that specific word,  such as apollumi, means the same thing each time it is used.  Because the  word apollumi is used to define a state of
"having life" (the  sheep was "lost" but alive not dead), it CANNOT also be used to define a state  that is OPPOSITE of life DEATH, such as what the
theologians would have us  believe is meant in Romans 2:12 and 2 Peter 2:12, as shown above.

In  other words, one specific word CANNOT mean both a state of life AND a state of  death!

It is obvious from these many uses of the word apollumi, that it CANNOT mean "to deprive of life."

Clearly  the Bible translators translated these passages according to their own  preconceived theological beliefs.


Picture
Matthew 2:13 states "And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord  appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his  mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I
bring thee word: for  Herod will seek the young child to destroy him." Many have  assumed that the word 
'destroy' (apollumi in Greek) in Matthew 2:13 must  mean 'to deprive of life,' but that definition has no support Biblically.

There are Greek words that mean 'to deprive of life.'  They are:
 
1) apokteinco, which means "to kill;"
2) sphazoo, slay; 
3) anaireoco, assassinate or massacre; or
4) phoneuco, which means murder.

Picture
Apollumi is used for things which have no life, such as wine skin  bottles (Matthew 9:17, Mark 2:22 and Luke 5:37).  These bottles do not "die" when  they are "destroyed." A reward is not "mortal."

See Matthew 10:42 and  Mark 9:41, "Verily I say unto you, he shall in no way lose (apollumi) his  reward." And gold and money do not "die." In fact, they never had  life.  See Luke 15:8 and 1 Peter 1:7, "That the trial of your faith, being more  precious than of gold which is perishable (apollumi)."  The words which actually do mean 'to deprive of life' could not be used in these passages. 

Apollumi  is often used to describe something that either remains alive or has never  had life.  If the lost
(destroyed) sheep (Luke 15:4) had been  'deprived of life', the shepherd would not have rejoiced when he found his  carcass.  A word whose primary meaning is
"to deprive of life" cannot have a  secondary meaning of "continued life."  Death cannot be another form of life.  White is not another word for black.  And life in any form is not expressed by a word which means death.

Jesus said "He who is finding his soul will be  destroying (losing) it, and he who destroys (loses) his soul on my account will  be finding it" (Matthew 10:39, Mark 8:35,
Luke 9:24, Luke 17:33).
  Is Jesus urging them to commit suicide?  NO!  The destruction of the soul does not mean death.  It means to dis-assemble or destroy the old
man of sin, to destroy our carnal nature, to realize the new creation we already are in Christ.

Picture
Romans 6:6 describes this process. "Knowing this, that our old man was crucified  with Him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer  be in bondage to sin."

The statement that the "Son of Man came to seek and to save that which is lost (destroyed)"  (Luke 19:10) is the key to the meaning of apollumi. This Bible  passage refers specifically to Zacchaeus, who was lost (destroyed). Because  he was lost (destroyed), he was ready to be found and saved.

The Greek word apollumi  is often given an interpretation  that means death from which there is no
resurrection, or annihilation, a state  from which salvation is impossible.  This passage in Luke 19:10 destroys this  premise.  Instead of the lost being
beyond salvation, they alone are  eligible for salvation! It is impossible to rescue a man who is already  safe. It is only when he is in a "lost" condition denoted by the word apollumi that salvation can operate in his behalf.

The  terms seek and save mean the opposite of destroy. So the  one who is 'destroyed', is really just lost, not annihilated or , or no one  would seek after him in order to save him.  He must be in a state which needs salvation or Christ would not have come to seek and to save him. This passage proves beyond a doubt that 'destruction' is  a salvageable condition, not a  state beyond the reach of salvation.  In addition, please notice that only the "lost" are saved.  This fact  reverses the usual idea of destruction. God seeks what He has  lost! 

Destruction is a relative  term. The coin was lost (apollumi) in relation to the woman.  The sheep was lost  (apollumi) in relation to the shepherd. The prodigal son was lost (apollumi) in  relation to his father.  They were not dead, but they were  away from the woman,  the shepherd, and the father, respectively. Does this prove that they were  outside the sphere of salvation?  No, it actually proves the opposite.
 
Destruction is the prelude to salvation!  Destruction
never  means annihilation or eternal conscious torment, irrespective of how closely it may seem to
approach that  idea in some cases.

Picture
God is love and ALL of His creatures  are precious to Him.  God loves all of us equally.  It takes 'destruction' for us to feel our need, and it takes  'destruction' to flood us with God's Divine love. 

Because men are unable  to accomplish all that they wish, they imagine that God also is unable to save  ALL
of humanity.  This basic error has so warped the minds of men that they have corrupted the Scriptures to
uphold it.

The story of the Potter (Jeremiah 18:1-7) reveals that it is the Potter Himself  who crushes the vessel when He discovers it is marred. But the vessel never  leaves the Potter's hands during its "destruction" and re-creation into a New  Creature.

God does not destroy anything that he  cannot completely  restore. 'Destruction' is a passing process, not a finished goal. The old sinful  nature is destroyed as a prelude to the formation of a New Creature in Christ.  Remember God says "Behold I make ALL
things new." Revelation 21:5


Picture
Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:28, "When ALL things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected ALL things to Him, so that God may be ALL in ALL."

Paul also wrote in Ephesians 1:9-11, "Having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth.  In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works ALL things after the counsel of His will.

God is love.  Love never fails.  God's plan is clearly the restoration of ALL.  God is clearly the Savior of ALL (1 Timothy 4:10).   None will actually perish, none will actually be destroyed, none will actually be lost. 

The grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to ALL men.  Titus 2:11

Thank you Daddy for loving us unconditionally!

Communion is a Remembrance

12/7/2012

2 Comments

 
Communion is formed from the Greek word koinonia meaning fellowship and koinonos meaning a sharer or partaker; derived from koinos meaning common and sun meaning together; the body of Christ coming
together to partake in the symbolism of Jesus' body and blood which He gave up for us on the cross. 

Communion takes place for the purpose of remembering what Jesus accomplished for us through His death and resurrection.   Communion is a fellowship of God's love. ♥

The Lord's Supper
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Paul writes, "For I received from
the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and
said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in
remembrance of Me."  In the same way He took the
cup also after supper, saying,
"This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

Remember who you are in Christ under the New Covenant of Grace and forget who you were in the Old Covenant of Law.  2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature (creation in some translations); the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."  Awesome!

In Romans 6:6, Paul tells us, "Our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin.

In Galatians 5:1, Paul says, "It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject to a yoke of slavery."

As we remember there is a living God inside of us, we rest from our works and allow His works to be produced through us.  This is done through the Holy Spirit surrendering our will to His will.  This is why it is said that faith without works is dead (James 2).  We are given the faith of Christ.  The faith produces the works.  God's works not ours.  All we are doing is remembering what HE has done for us and resting in union with Him.  The more we get out of His way, the more fruit is produced leading to an abundant harvest. 
Amen! ♥

God Reconciled ALL to Himself

12/3/2012

Paul wrote in Colossians 1:19-22, "For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.  And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach."

All things - ALL of humanity - has been reconciled to God.  God has removed any distance between our relationship with Him.  We are united as One and can never be separated.  Notice how Paul refers to the alienation and hostility in mind....Our carnal mind can still deceive us and distract us from the truth of who we really are and how God sees us.  Focus on Jesus and not self.

Picture












Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 5:17-18, "In the light of your co-inclusion in His death and resurrection, whoever you thought you were before, Christ you are a brand new person!  The old ways of seeing yourself and everyone else are over.  Acquaint yourself with the new!  To now see everything as new is to simply see what God has always known in Christ; we are not debating man's experience, opinion, or his contribution; this is 100% God's belief and His doing.  In Jesus Christ, God exchanged equivalent value to redeem us to Himself.  This act of reconciliation is the mandate of our ministry."

Paul continued in verse 19, "Our ministry declares that Jesus did not act independant of God.  Christ is proof that God reconciled the total kosmos to Himself.  The fallen state of mankind was deleted; their trespass would no longer count against them.  God has placed this message within us.  He now announces His friendship with every individual from within us. "

This is really good news!  Thank you Father!

God Chose You

Picture Saul riding his horse on his way to Demascus to kill him some Christians.  God appeared and revealed truth to Saul and he became Paul.  Paul did not choose God.  He was knocked off his horse.  Clearly God chose Paul and the rest is history.  ♥  Interestingly many of Paul's writings point to this awesome reality.


God chose you before the foundation of the world.  In Ephesians 1:4, Paul wrote, "just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him.  In love, He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,"

Paul continued in Ephesians 1:11, "also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will,"

Let's celebrate God!  He lavished every blessing heaven has upon us in Christ.  He associated us in Christ before the fall of the world.  Jesus is God's mind made up about us.  He always knew in His love that He would present us again face-to-face before Him in blameless innocence. ♥


The implications of the fall are completely cancelled out.  God found us in Christ before He ever lost us in Adam.

Picture















The secret is out!  His cherished love-dream now unfolds in front of our very eyes.  In the economy of the fullness of time, everything culminates in Christ; all that is in heaven and all that is on earth is reconciled in Him. ♥

In Colossians 3:12, Paul wrote, "You are the product of God's love; He restored you to His original thought.  You belong to Him exclusively."

Paul wrote earlier in Colossians 3 about the importance of putting on the new self; the realization of who you are in Christ and how God sees you.  This is the mind of Christ.  Paul teaches in 3:2-3, "Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.  For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God."

The death of Christ on the cross made us a new creation.  The old things (carnal mindset-self-effort-self righteousness) are passing away and new things (the mind of Christ) have come. ♥

In Romans 8:28, Paul wrote, "Meanwhile we know that the love of God causes everything to mutually contribute to our advantage.  His master plan is announced in our original identity.  He pre-destined and engineered us from the start to be jointly fashioned in the same mold and image of His Son according to the exact blueprint of His thought."

See yourself how God sees you and know that it is not based on anything you have done or will do.  God chose you, so that no one would boast.  God chose you because He loves you!  ♥


Thank you, Daddy! ♥
