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 of Yahweh. They try to keep it from coming in their lives, whether by acting foolish or refusing to receive it.

But I would say that not one person in all of creation has ever been successful in avoiding the Love of Yahweh. It may come in a different form. It might take a different path to arrive. It might arrive at a different moment or time. It may not look like was expected. The recipients themselves might not even recognize it at first, but eventually they will see. We will all see.

It came just the same. It always has. It always will. For Yahweh is ever faithful.

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...
