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.

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...

Covenanted Relationships

Judge   not, that you be not judged.  For with what   judgment you judge, you will be judged;   and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.    ~Matthew 7:1-2 This scripture is often interpreted in various ways. "Don't judge others at all because you're just as bad as they are." "Make sure you judge with righteous judgment according to the standard of Christ." "Whatever way you judge, you better be prepared to be judged." I would say that all of these are parts, but in greater context, the verse can be interpreted this way: Do not  interfere with the Covenanted relationship that another person has with YHWH. Do not trespass upon their Covenant by putting the measure (lines, authority, tenets) of your Covenant upon them. In other words, what's right for you is not necessarily right for others, and if you attempt to put your standards of righteousness--which you and YHWH worked out from the Beginning and walk in and write ...
