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...

The Seven Views of Time: Circular Time

Isaiah 40:22 says that Yahweh sits above the circle of the Earth. If you look at creation, it is full of circles. The planets and stars are circles, the cells in a human body, the nucleus of an atom... even the paths that planets take around the sun. Circular time is much like the path a planet takes around the sun. Time is your orientation to an event, or an event's orientation to you. We are used to saying that ____ happened in the past or we hope ____ will happen in the future. In circular time, those events can come back to the present. The third view of time, spiracular or spiral time, is somewhat similar. Also similar will be the Seven Circles of Katalambano, but both of these will be mentioned in different posts. One of the strongest advocates for the Reality of circular time is the idea that Yahshua is the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and Omega. In linear time, that would not be possible as the End and the Beginning are clearly distinct, however no matter where yo...

The Seven Views of Time: The Time Line (Linear Time)

I have, currently, seven views of time. These views can seem to contradict each other, but in Reality they are all happening together. I have tried to draw pictures of it but I am not very artistic when it comes to drawing and, honestly, it is difficult to draw an omnidimensional Infinite-Eternity with motion on a still two-dimensional plane. The view of time with which most Americans are familiar is the time line. This is the simple idea of sequence; of beginning, middle, and end; of past, present, and future. When viewing existence through this lens, we can experience things in a progressive order. If we only view existence through this lens, we can look at our own lives as non-existent before a certain point. We can look at history starting in the Garden of Eden and continuing up to this present point. We have no access to past or future in this view of time, and we have concepts of becoming and maturing, primacy and order. The Truth in this view of time is that there is alway...
