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...

Rearranging the Molecules to Form Reality

Illusion is like a sandcastle. It has no staying power, no true form or substance. Each piece of sand is an individual grain arranged in a form that cannot really be. If you look at existence as consisting of atoms or molecules, it can be truly amazing to see that there are forms walking around out there that cannot ever really exist. But what do you do when you see an illusory form, when sickness comes upon your body or you see the trappings of poverty all around you? Your first question must be, "Is this in my metron?" A metron is the place where Yahweh has given you all power and authority to judge. We all have different metrons, and to cross out of ours is to trespass. Your metron will include your being (mind/body), your family, your home and land, your job or business, and your ecclesia (church). If you are not sure where your metron is, ask Yahweh to show you. If you see illusion in someone else's metron, this is the time for intercession, for only they can k...

Pie

Imagine that all the love, affection, and resources (time, finances, emotional space, etc.) that each of us has is a pie. This pie may be larger or smaller depending on capacity and circumstances in a person’s life. Now, in order to be healthy and satisfied, each person must constantly be consuming an entire pie. But, after eating a single slice of our own pie, the rest of our pie cannot satisfy us or give us any nutritional value. What are we to do? We must give ourselves the first slice of our pie. This is self-love or self-care. That first slice imbues all of the other slices of our pie with nutritional value. But, after we have consumed the first slice of our own pie, the rest of our pie will give us nothing if we eat it ourselves. We must give the other slices of our pie to other people. Still, we must consume a whole pie to be satisfied, so others must give to us as well. In a healthy, functioning society and group, it would look like this: each of us eats our own first slice...
