MThe mind is a fascinating and complex entity that governs our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions. It serves as the control center for our actions, allowing us to process information, make decisions, and navigate our experiences. The interplay between our conscious and subconscious thoughts shapes our reality and influences how we interact with the world around us. Engaging with the mind can lead to greater self-awareness, creativity, and emotional intelligence, empowering us to grow and adapt. Understanding the nuances of our mental processes can unlock potential we never knew we had and enhance our overall well-being. Whether through mindfulness practices, creative expression, or intellectual pursuits, nurturing the mind is essential for personal development and fulfillment.

  • Why Defend God’s Doctrine?

    Why Defend God’s Doctrine?

    Someone once told me:

    “You don’t need to debate Theology, God doesn’t need us to defend Him.”

    And to that, I say;

    Amen!

    Of course He does not need anything from me, nor from anyone.
    BUT…

    I was compelled to Know Him when He revealed to me that He chose me, and He has kept me, despite me;
    Even…

    Gasp…

    Against my will…

    Yep, I was kicking and screaming against worshiping Him, alone.

    I was only willing to remain in the prideful elation I received from my own ability to retain and understand “Gnosis” from other texts. What I now understand, after much denial, is that these texts are from “other gods” – foreign imitators. Once I truly recognized this and after enduring many trials by God’s spirit, I developed a real need for Him. So, in needing Him and studying His Word to get to know Him as deeply as possible, I am being moved from glory to glory in truth.

    So, being marked by God with His Word etched in my mind and heart:

    1. My mind cannot hear a lie about my salvation and remain unaffected because it stirs the One who owns me and dwells with me.
    2. If my heart perceives slander against its Reviver, the Heart of God, His Spirit convicts me to become stirred to defend His Name against slander.

    Why? Because I love Him…  Only because He loves me. (1 John 4:19)

    If you still don’t understand, you need to realize that the One Love of God is not an emotion, but rather an action – God’s action.

    So, no, He needs nothing from me. I’m the one who needs Him. I have to defend His name, and I’m relentlessly compelled to do so.

    It is not me who works righteousness, but God alone. We are mere vessels to be used by our Creator.

    Inspiration:

    Samctify the Messiah as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.
    1 Peter 3:15

    The word Sanctify here means: set the Lord apart from everyone else to be the only one we worship, adore, and obey. He is Lord of Life. 
    I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people.
    Jude 1:3
    He must be devoted to the trustworthy message we teach. Then he can use these accurate teachings to encourage people and correct those who oppose the word.
    Titus 1:9
    "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
    Hebrews 4:12
    We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.
    2 Corinthians 10:5
  • God Spoke: Bearing God’s Image

    God Spoke: Bearing God’s Image

    God simply SPOKE to make man in His IMAGE,” and after “Our LIKENESS.”

    He SAID He’d LET them have dominion over the fish & birds & livestock & ALL the earth.

    God predestines, decrees & ordains ‘all things’ to come into being through <His Thoughts> projecting through the power of His Word, bringing forth; into Consciousness unconscious beings and structures that transmit His Image & His Kingdom back to Himself.

    By His breath, we are conscious; take away His breath, and we are NOTHING.

    We exist within His imagination, as He is the Creator of All THINGS, and through Him, by Him & for Him are ALL things.

    We, according to the Substance of the Words we utilize, are essentially nothing more than existing within God’s Imagination. If He decides to raise us (resurrect, redeem) from “glory to Glory,”; we can ‘See’ & it’s True: He SPEAKS ALL things into existence,

    Words Come From The Mind

    We only exist because the Mind of God SAID we do, and every action we take or circumstance we encounter was not only allowed by God but established by Him. If not, He isn’t who He says He is, & nothing makes sense.

    Hence why it DOES make sense when He pulls us up out of the “dream,” per se; we are NOTHING without Him; we don’t exist without Him deciding we live. We are nothing more than fragments of God’s imagination.

    Some people He has chosen < through His thoughts > to bring us out of the reflection, giving Sight to blind people & bringing His people into the New Nation (THE SPIRITUAL), and then there are others; whom He made NOT for Salvation.

    “… who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this,” will? Or does not the potter have a right over the clay to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use? What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory; even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles.“

    Romans 9:20-24

    For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

    Galatians 6:8

    He is Potter, we are clay; whatever we may feel doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of this reality – in understanding all of this, there is a lot of peace, the burden is super light, and the yolk is way easier, like Jesus; the conduit between two dimensions said. 

    "Do not cling to Me,"

    Jesus said, 

    "for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.'" 

    John 20:17

    TODAY —–> HE IS ASCENDED!!!

  • Lord Of Dark and Light

    God is the Lord of ALL life & is sovereign over all things:
    Dark, light, peace, calamity, pain, and joy.

    By Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.  And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

    Colossians 1:17

    The very airwaves that Satan uses to deceive are The Lord’s. The tactics of the enemy belong to the Lord…

     As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

    Ephesians 2:1

    Today Satan is “an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:14), and his devils are “ministers of righteousness” (v. 15). They have occupied teachingg “doctrines of devils” (1 Tim. 4:1), so they are not wreaking mayhem in the material realm.

    Nothing of His creation operates outside of His order, which is under His complete divine authority. This is difficult for many humans to receive. The flesh gets very angry at this truth. The flesh & love of self reviles the ht of God having complete authority over them.

    He is the Lord of Life & and Death.

    “To this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living”

    Romasn 12:14

    Job 12:10 tells us that in God’s hand is the very breath of every single living thing, the breath of all mankind. He owns the very air we breathe.

    I Chronicle 29:11 tells us that God is sovereign over everything that is in the heavens and the earth and that He exalts Himself as head over ALL, with might in His hand to make great and to strengthen everyone that He pleases to strengthen.
    He doesn’t just say that He “allows” darkness & calamity: He says He creates it Himself.

    Isaiah 45:7 God says He is: “The One forming light and also creating darkness, causing well-being and also creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these.”

    Isaiah 31:2 teaches that God is “wise and brings forth disaster, and does not ever retract his words.”

    His words create All things.

    Isaiah 47:11 says that “God Himself brings about evil and disaster upon the unrepentant

    Amos 3:6 declares that when calamity occurs in a city, the Lord is the one to have done it.

    Psalm 33:10,11 tell us that “The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.”

    Believers have (false) belief in their own free will, but human will is immediately nullified by the only One with truly free will, God.

    He ordained beforehand the actions of ALL men. He designed every outcome, paved every step, and calculated every second of everything, whether physical or spiritual.

    He gave authority to Pilate to judge the Son. (John 19:11)

    He raises adversaries against His chosen ones. (Exodus 4:21; I Kings 11:14-23)

    He ordained the actions of evil men by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God that they would nail Christ to the cross. (Acts 2:23)

    The sovereignty of God encompasses every bit of righteousness that men do, as well as their sin. He is the very fire that comes, burning all sin within the material to either refine His chosen or consume His enemies.

    Humans don’t have personal experience being Sovereign, we have never known what it is to do whatever we want, whenever we want, to whomever we want…

    Our finiteness could never truly comprehend such Power.

    Sovereignty has no limits. “Sovereign” humans are limited in sovereignty because we are but a tarnished image of God.
    God has decreed that evil is for the glory of His name (character, reputation, standing & title). He has full dominion over the actions of evil men. He is dominant in all aspects.

    Experiencing reality through vision of the flesh, using the wisdom of the world one cannot understand this sovereignty. No matter the evil that transpires, no matter how heinous, God has a purpose & a reason for it.

    This does not in any way alleviate moral responsibility, but rather further condemns, as humans are willing actors through our words and deeds & since God is no respecter of persons, & God creates this system & creates the laws; so we can be both His created vessels & responsible for our sinfulness, simultaneously.

    We can’t forget that God’s ways are NOT our ways.

    “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.”

    Isaiah 55:8,
  • “Get Over Yourself”

    “Get Over Yourself”

    God transposes to my consciousness:

    “Why are you so proud to consider yourself above anyone else, especially my Angelic beings? 

    You are just as much a prideful sinner as Lucifer, yet you are dying and living for the very thing that limits you: 

    Your flesh.

    Who is the least? 

    The one who lost the most. 

    What did you lose? 

    An eternity in Hell where your flesh was taking you. 

    You lost nothing of any value.

    You only gained.

    What right have you to think you can judge an angel from any place of authority? 

    Lucifer is unholy and pure darkness, yet I placed him above you to refine you.

    Do you see yourself as above any being? 

    Get over yourself, My child; I have."
  • “Get Over Yourself”

    “Get Over Yourself”

    God transfers to me:

    “Why are you so proud to think of yourself as above anyone else, especially my Angelic beings? 

You are just as much a prideful sinner as Lucifer yet you are dying in and living for the very thing that limits you: 

Your flesh.

Who is the least? 

The one who lost the most. 

What did you lose? 

An eternity in Hell where your flesh was taking you. 

You lost nothing of any value.

You only gained.

What right have you to think you can judge an angel from any place of authority? 

Lucifer is unholy and pure darkness yet I placed him above you in order to refine you.

Do you see yourself as above any being? 

Get over yourself My child, I have."

  • Who Is The Founder & Perfector Of Your Faith?


    “…. Looking to Jesus, THE FOUNDER AND PERFECTER OF OUR FAITH, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”

    Hebrews 12:2

    FOUNDER:
    n. ( faith) establisher, (faith) mounter
    n. The one who begins (faith); the one who writes (faith), the one from whom all (faith) comes.

    Jesus lays the groundwork. Jesus IS the groundwork. He establishes and forms our faith, He initiates and originates our Faith. He has complete domination over our level of faith.

    It is clear that His sovereignty reigns; it is not up to us to achieve salvation, nor are we deserving of it, not even through our own belief. If someone claims that they can secure and sustain faith solely of their own volition, they are not telling the truth.

    He has the reigns. Jesus alone by the Will of The Father decrees Faith,
    He, in His predestining Will chooses who will be established in Himself and, as many men reject, who is His enemy.

    “For by Grace, you have been saved through FAITH. And this is NOT YOUR OWN DOING; IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD, NOT A RESULT OF WORKS, so that no one may boast. For WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which GOD PREPARED BEFOREHAND, that we should walk in them.”

    Eph.2:8-10
    WORKMANSHIP:
    n. To manufacture (His people); invent; meticulously design (His Faithful), producer with intellectual depth & skill, especially by manual labor.
    n. That which is effected;  (The power to produce an outcome, full forced execution; operativeness), made or produced

    We are His Workmanship.

    He executes, He operates, He develops, and He produces His people’s Faith by the Power of His Grace.
    We don’t execute, operate, develop or produce, our own Faith.

    The Grace we receive ISN’T because of anything we do (no matter how significant), nor because of anything we say (no matter how righteous), or anything we think.
    We receive His Grace through His Sovereign Faith (not our free will “faith”); We can only be saved by the perfect Faith of Jesus Christ that can only save us by His Grace.

    AGAIN… We have righteousness through Faith. Whose Faith? Jesus’ Faith.

    ALL have sinned and fall short, but we are justified by Faith through HIS GRACE AS A GIFT… FREE GIFT.

    FAITH IS A GIFT. Therefore, we don’t work for it or at it; there’s only ONE, Christ Jesus, and He alone is able to give Faith to whom the Father chose already, He alone Saves, He follows the Will of His Father.

    No human can manipulate, control,  command, demand, or alter what has been established before the earth’s foundation. No human can interfere with the Book of Life.

    … the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are JUSTIFIED BY HIS GRACE AS A GIFT, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

    Romans 3:22‭-‬24
  • Become Like A Child

    Become Like A Child

    Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”

    Mark 10:15, Luke 18:17

    MEANING

    This statement is a response to his disciples who were trying to prevent children from coming to him.

    Jesus rebukes them and says that the kingdom of God belongs to such as these, and that whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.

    The profoundness of this assertion lies in the characteristics of children that Jesus is referring to.

    Children are often seen as innocent, trusting, and dependent.

    They have a simple faith and are not burdened by the doubts and cynicism that can come with age and experience. They are also humble and teachable, willing to learn and receive guidance from older and wiser people.

    Jesus says that to enter the kingdom of God, we must approach it with the same childlike qualities of innocence, trust, humility, and teachability.

    We must come to God with a simple faith, not relying on our knowledge or understanding but trusting in God’s wisdom and guidance. We must be humble, recognizing that we are not self-sufficient but dependent on God. And we must be teachable, willing to learn from God, and those who are wiser and more experienced in the ways of God.

    This is the kind of faith that opens the door to the kingdom of God and allows us to enter into a relationship with God that is marked by love, joy, and peace.

    JESUS SAYS THAT WE WILL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN UNLESS WE BECOME LIKE A CHILD.

    Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

    Matthew 23:12

    Jesus lays the groundwork. Jesus IS the groundwork. He establishes and forms our faith, He initiates and originates our Faith. He has complete domination over our level of faith.

    The Truth of His sovereignty is evident; we do not establish ourselves, we cannot establish ourselves, and we are not worthy to establish ourselves, not even with our own faith. If anyone claims to have the ability to establish and maintain saving faith by the power of their own will, they are a liar.

    He has the reigns. Jesus alone by the Will of The Father decrees Faith,
    He, in His predestining Will chooses who will be established in Himself and, as many men reject, who is His enemy.

    “For by Grace, you have been saved through FAITH. And this is NOT YOUR OWN DOING; IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD, NOT A RESULT OF WORKS, so that no one may boast. For WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which GOD PREPARED BEFOREHAND, that we should walk in them.”

    Jesus says that we will not enter the kingdom of Heaven unless we become like a child.

    Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

    Matthew 23:12

  • Who Has All Authority?

    As adopted heirs according to the Promise of our Messiah we are humbled by the certainty of our Salvation being from God’s Grace & nothing else, not even human choice… Not even our own choice.

    And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ)—if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him.

    Romans 8:17

    God is the Potter & His Creation is His clay… The Lord does ALL that He pleases.

    I, being the clay in my Potter’s hands, have no authority over how my Potter establishes & constructs me.

    I am guilty of my sinful actions, thoughts & nature. In my flesh I disgust a Holy God, this is exactly why a Savior is required for reconciliation.

    He patterns His clay according to the pattern He devises in His Mind. His Thoughts are what generate, cultivate, and produce what we humans comprehend as reality.

    Outside of the Mind of God, there is NOTHING.

    Material reality is a shadow of Spiritual reality, the Spiritual Realm reigns as sovereign over ALL material, not the other way around.

    I recognize that I’m just as wicked-natured, crooked, and filled with as much iniquity as the next person & the only reason I am Saved from the wages of my flesh is by His Grace, His Faith, His Decision, His Ordination, His Predetermination, and His Council, all such is derived from His perfect Mind…

    We are the clay being formed into His masterpiece, depending solely on Him, the Potter. We are vessels. A vessel depends on its Operator, not itself.

    My value, of my own volition, is not higher or lesser than any other human, of whom are made in the likeness of God but all tainted by the sin of Adam.

    God always obtains what is His & He deserves ALL Glory!

    If a believer deprives any bit of Glory to God, they are speaking a false, counterfeit Doctrine, aimed at robbing God of His Glory… Be it some Glory or all Glory; we own, control, & inhabit NO GLORY outside of Christ.

    Glory is His – ALONE.

    When we see His perfectly Righteous Wrath, God reveals to us even more that His Glory is merciful, and His Mercy endures (sustains) forever. He reveals His Glory in the ability of His Majestic Grace.

    It’s Grace because it’s unearned, it’s not a reward, it’s a pardon, and there is no cause but the Judge’s own Decision & Mercy.

    If you earned any part of the Salvation & Grace you received, it’s not Grace. & If you depend on your Salvation, I’d question myself because only God is dependable

    He lavishes His Grace and Mercy for whomever He ordains. He is an impartial Judge. He is not a respecter of persons.

    In ALL THINGS He is THE essence & foundation, commanding His declaration to be respected by Speaking that which is nothing into existence and making it something. He is before all things, in all things, & all things work through Him, & for Him & to Him.

    His will is perfect & a perfect will is unable to be incomplete or unfinished, meaning He accomplishes His will… & His will was written before your decision.

    To be perfect is to be exact, complete, accurate, and valid, a completed Will lacks nothing.

    Anything truly perfect needs nothing outside of its perfection. A Will that is perfect achieves & fulfills itself without any missing aspect needed…

    We are provided with the capacity to discern by His Will and Spirit. He is our illumination in the fog. The Spirit illuminates what materiality darkens.

    He determines to lift the veil from the eyes of all that See (in His Spirit) -we are developed beyond the shadow, no longer limited to the diagram, but we are integrated with the Substance.

    We have the Holy Spirit. We are rescued from the death we deserve, we earned Hell, by the power of the flesh.

    We are purchased by our Creator into Life, saved from our flesh’s reward, we don’t deserve to be saved, we have no merit, etc not even a little bit

    But thanks to God we who See are completely Free; only by the Power of the Holy Spirit… Without such, we’re only Tares presuming we are Wheat, but like a flower, we have no substance and we die out.
