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 us make these choices for our lives, because We are Yahweh--whether we have remembered this or not--we are ruling from this throne and taking dominion over the Earth. All of creation takes shape around us, around our choices. Creation is not groaning, then, waiting for the sons to take dominion over the Earth. It is groaning in remembrance of who We are.

The more awareness We have of Our Nature--Love--the more We will make choices that express Love in the fullest way possible. This is not a journey of right and wrong. This is a journey of forgetting and remembering. The Hebrews called it tzim tzum. As We chose to forget, for a time, who We were so that We could grow infinity, so We choose now to remember in the process of growth. We remember, so We grow. The more We remember, the more We grow. The more We grow, the more Love We have, and the more Love is expressed in creation.

It's much simpler than battling an enemy who doesn't exist or trying to force-control creation into looking like something some pastor from a hundred years ago interpreted Yahweh's heart on creation to be. We assume creation isn't already being ruled over because we assume creation doesn't look like it's supposed to. We make this assumption based on the fact that there are choices of lesser Love being made right now. We can see the pain, suffering, and devastation those choices can bring about. And yet, Love is all there is. Love is all we need, literally. The choices of lesser Love will cease when greater Love comes. Paul talked about this in 1 Corinthians 13. Lesser Love sees through a glass dimly, chooses as a child does. Greater Love is knowing fully, even as We are fully known. We put away those childish choices and manifest Love in greater ways.

Therefore, we can change the interpretation of "creation groans awaiting for the sons to take their place." Simply, it means this:

*We are already ruling over creation because We never stopped being One with Yahweh.
*Creation expresses itself based on our awareness of Love because it follows the patterns of the choices We make.
*If we want creation to express greater Love, we simply have to know Ourself more, become more aware of Love and who We are.
*Then we will make choices of greater Love. This will change the shape of creation.

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...

Rocks vs. Sand: Discerning Reality from Illusion

I keep saying that Yahweh is all that there is and that anything that isn't of Him isn't Real. You may well wonder, as I did, why we keep seeing things that aren't Real. Sickness, death, poverty, sadness... none of these are in line with Yahweh's order or character, so why do we perceive them? Some might say that we live in a fallen world, but did not Yahshua finish everything on the cross? (John 19:30). If we are to believe Him that it truly is finished, then we can return to His Reality right now. We do not have to wait until we die to go to Heaven. Indeed, we do not even have to die. (1 Corinthians 15:51, John 8:51, John 3:16, etc.)  If you just looked up those verses and rationalized away that they are talking about not dying after you die and go to Heaven (does that really make sense, though?), ask Holy Spirit to show you His Reality and judge it for yourself. I, personally, cannot now understand why Yahshua would say that anyone who keeps His Word would ne...
