Consciousness part 2

"Awake to righteousness, and sin not: for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame" (1 Corinthians 15:34). This was Jesus' mission. He didn't come to make "bad" people "good." He came to make dead people alive. When Adam ate from the tree of death, the natural consequence was...

Consciousness part 1

I don't know how else to say it: What you see is what you be. What you magnify is what will manifest. What you believe is what defines your reality. That's why it is so vitally important that we are not self-conscious, but Christ-conscious. (And, really, being Christ-conscious IS being...

Pure part 5

"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8). I started this Rant series this way and I'm going to end it this way. What we see is what we be. So in the never-ending circle of love feeding on itself we can understand that this is not an if-then statement. It's not, "If you...

Pure part 4

It's just like love to feed on itself. When our heart is pure--when we have nothing different than love in our hearts--then we can fill ourselves with the fulness of God. And when we fill ourselves with the fullness (of what we've already been filled with) then it manifests in our lives. So...

Pure part 3

04/08/2015 12:28

The only way we can see God--really SEE Him--is with a pure heart. Because a pure heart is a clean heart. A heart that is undefiled by anything different than love. A heart full to overflowing WITH love. And to me, that's the key. Because what's in you--what you BELIEVE is in you--comes out of you....

Pure part 2

A pure heart is a clean heart. That's one of the things that was accomplished on the cross. God made in us a clean heart and renewed a right spirit--He revealed HIS heart in our chest by cutting away the flesh of human effort with the circumcision made without hands, and He gave us HIS Holy Spirit...

Pure part 1

"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8). Guys, I'm telling you, it's all about the heart. And I say it's all about the heart because I say it's all about love. We think with our heart, and we see with our heart. Because what we see is what we be. What we behold is what...

Ownership part 5

04/05/2015 13:25

I started this Rant series with the idea of "love without ownership." And as far as that goes... we don't "own" each other, but we do BELONG to each other. We are all parts of the same body. We are connected by the one thing in the universe that can truly connect things (or people): Love. Love is...

Ownership part 4

04/04/2015 11:59

I have to give credit to my pastor for this one: Ownership is about belonging to the One who bought us with a high price. We are His and He is ours. Which is important because God declares, "I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another..." (Isaiah 42:8). Again: We are not...

Ownership part 3

04/03/2015 15:11

I think the difference between how WE think of ownership and how GOD thinks of ownership really comes down to "control" vs "protection." We think, "I love you and that means I own you... I control you." God thinks, "I love you. And that means you're mine... I take care of you." Look at Jesus' heart...
