Some words from my Brother...

In you is all of Heaven
Every leaf that falls is given life in you
Each bird that ever sang will sing again in you
And every flower that ever bloomed has saved it's perfume and loveliness for you What aim can supersede the will of God and of His son
That Heaven be restored to him for whom it was created as his only home.
Nothing before and nothing after it
No other place, no other state nor time,
Nothing beyond nor nearer
Nothing else
In any form
Jesus

Thinking of Judgement?

I've been thinking of judgement lately and the pain it brings with it. It is a easy pit to fall into and hard to dig your self out of. I remember Jesus saying a little bit of yeast will cause the whole loaf to rise and certainly judgement falls into that category.
Their's this person I know and she / he is not the most loveable person you have ever been around. It would be easy for any one to pass judgement based on what they think of her / him but not having lived one single day in her / his shoes.
If we could only realize that what we see in others was in us first. We couldn't see all the terrible stuff unless it is within us first. That is what don't judge or you will be judged really means. If you judge something wrong in someone else remember you couldn't even see it in them unless it was first in you. So you are really judging what is in you and that is why it brings so much pain along with it. A little bit of it goes a long way and the more we look for faults in other people the more deeply rooted they become in us.
If you have to judge then it is better to look for the best in people and that in turn will bring about a change in you. Once you can see good and innocence in your brother or sister then that will become deeply rooted in you.
Peace and forgiveness!

Holiness?

What is holiness? Is it doing right? Is it following the laws that church sets? Is it something that is bestowed upon us?
Holiness is a state that cements and confirms our eternal connection with Father.
It is not following laws that seem to change from church to church or even within the same church. Laws can be changed and broken but what Father created is forever changeless. In my time in churches I have come to realize that laws can change depending on the crisis at hand and on the most recent interpretation of their reading. How then can your holiness be dependent on something so fragile? Man does not establish his holiness. He may deceive himself into thinking he is less than holy and he could decieve others into thinking they're not holy.
Holiness is not bestowed upon on us! If that were so then we would have to have been in a state where we were not holy. This is impossible because what Father creates is holy. It is holy because He is holy. He did not create anything that is less than holy. We may precieve it as less and that is our choice but our perception is not truth. What Father says is truth and he says we are holy because He is holy.
Our holiness can do anything because it is connected to him, it is the same. It can solve problems past present and future. It can undo all the negative effects of this world because it is not bound by the flimsy laws of the world. Our holiness reverses all the laws of the world. It is beyond every restriction of time, space and distance of any kind. Your holiness is totally unlimited in power because it establishes you as a son/daughter of Father your creator. Through our holiness the power of Father is made manifest, available and their is nothing that the power of the Father can not do.

Life?

Peace of God?

As I think about "The Peace of God" feel a presence that drives away things like; fear, the past, the future, hate, attack, war, despair and a host of many others. I feel a smile that seems to settle on my face then moves to my heart. I feel a warmth that is uncontrollable that surrounds me like a thick fog moving in and through my soul. I see happiness and tranquillity all around me and I never want to leave. "Nothing unreal exist and nothing real can be threatened, hear in lies the peace of God" Jesus

Judgement?

Judgement? The word it's self seems to conjure up condemnation. As I think on it I wonder if their is a way to judge rightly? Do I have the right to judge at all good or bad? I think of times when I have someone only to realize that I didn't have all the facts. Of course when I realize this I quickly dismiss my ruling but the damage is done. How much judgement did I bring on myself by my hasty condemnation?
In order to judge rightly one would have to be aware of an inconceivably wide range of things. One would have to know the effects of his judgement on everything past, present and to come. You would have to be certain that there is no distortion in your perception and that your judgement would be wholly fair on everyone now and in the future.
We don't have the right to judge which brings me to my point that with all the information needed to judge, their would be no way we could judge at all. The fact is we don't have the ability to judge and just maybe that's why it is so destructive to ourselves. Wisdom is not judgement it is the relinquishment of judgement.

Forgiveness?

I never new what true forgiveness was till last fall. Something supernatural happened to me as I was sleeping. As I awoke I heard the voice of Jesus saying to me "prepare to leave this world". Now that might have unnerved me had I not recognized that it was Jesus speaking. I knew he wasn't talking about death but a move toward life. From that moment on I learned that I could forgive someone and I could feel it leave my body. No more bondage or baggage from holding on to things that seemed real, (more on that latter) just a new found freedom.
