Intercession

It's really quite simple. Love somebody. 

Oh, I know that the expression takes various forms. I know that there is a real, tangible frequency involved. Yet, it really is that simple. 

The best description of intercession I've ever read comes from A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. 

Meg has lost her brother, Charles Wallace, to IT. IT is what I call the impossible. Charles Wallace has forgotten who he really is. He has no recollection of his own heart or being. He has behaved in hateful ways toward Meg and their father. His Reality has been hidden by impossibility. 

And Meg can only intercede. 

"She could stand there and she could love Charles Wallace. 

Her own Charles Wallace, the real Charles Wallace, the child for whom she had come back to Camazotz, to IT, the baby who was so much more than she was, and who was yet so utterly vulnerable. 

She could love Charles Wallace.

Charles. Charles, I love you. My baby brother who always takes care of me. Come back to me, Charles Wallace, come away from IT, come back, come home. I love you, Charles. Oh, Charles Wallace, I love you. 

Tears were streaming down her cheeks, but she was unaware of them. 

Now she was even able to look at him, at this animated thing that was not her own Charles Wallace at all. She was able to look and love. 

I love you. Charles Wallace, you are my darling and my dear and the light of my life and the treasure of my heart. I love you. I love you. I love you." (p.229) 

She loved him. She saw him for who he really was, not the impossible way he was behaving. And she simply loved him. 

It doesn't always work as quickly as it does in books and movies. Sometimes the Reality remains hidden for years as you faithfully love someone for who they really are. But I do believe that somewhere in the great infinite-eternal nature of existence, that Reality will manifest once again. And not only will you and the person for whom you have interceded see the Reality of their Nature once again, but you will have more love than ever before as you have invaded the impossible. You have led captivity captive. 

It's not hard to love someone when you can see who they really are. The Eyes of the Father and the Heart of the Father go hand-in-hand together. We will grow, as We remember, to love everyone and all things.

And Love remains. 

"And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him." ~1 John 4:16

Why Creation Isn't Waiting For You to Rule and Reign

There's this idea that creation is waiting for the sons of God to take their places and make the world what it needs to be, this idea that some day out there Yahweh will come back and take us to Heaven and reign from His Throne. Once we remember sovereignty and that we are One with Yahweh, we realize that we are the ones sitting on this throne with Yahweh. We also need to remember that time and eternity are One. Time is the instrument of Our growth, and We actually use it to grow eternity. Once we realize these two things, we can see that We are sovereign in our own lives and ruling and reigning from this throne right now. The instrument of Our dominion is Our choices. This is what Paul talked about in 1 Corinthians 3 where he talks about how we each choose what materials to build our lives with. Some choose jewels, some choose clay. I, as the sovereign in my own life, get to decide what materials to build my life with. However, I cannot judge another's life. As each of u

How the Grinch Didn't Steal Anything

You know how the Grinch tried to stop Christmas from coming, and yet it came anyway? Nothing he did could stop Christmas, whether it be taking the traditions, the decorations, the gifts. He took away the familiar and the sacred, but those silly little Whos were able to recognize Christmas when it came anyway, though it had a different form than maybe it had had in the past. What is Christmas, anyway? We all know the story of how Yahweh sent His Son to the Earth as the greatest gift of all for mankind. He sent Him completely, not reserving or holding anything back, and no matter how King Herod or circumstances tried to keep Him from coming, He came anyway, in a place and form that nobody expected a King to come, let alone the Messiah of Israel and Savior of the world. How many people try to stop the Love of Yahweh from overtaking them in their lives? For whatever reason--usually some form of fear or a misunderstanding that can manifest in anger or resentment--they flee from the Love

The Seven Circles of Katalambano

Katalambano is a Greek word, which I found in my Bible and which you can examine more  here . Of course, Yahweh is all that there is, so some of the idea of overcoming needs to be rethought. What are we overcoming? We overcome the questioning (mentioned in the blog post "The Trinity of Faith") and answer yes and amen to Yahweh. Katalambano means two important things to me. Besides "overcome," it is also used to mean "lay hold of" or "attain." It is the word used in Philippians 3:12 when it talks about pressing on to "lay hold of" that for which Christ Yahshua "laid hold of" me. It is also used in John 1:5 where it talks about the light shining in the darkness and the darkness did not "overcome," or in some versions "comprehend" it. It is through katalambano that we grow our Promise, attain a new portion of it, complete our creation. Everything that exists is 3, 7, and 12, so you might call this the se
