God's definition; TRUTH, under one
law, the law of love or actually, the law of God. Truth is unchangeabe,
unalterable and ETERNAL. Knowledge can be unrecognized, but, it cannot be
changed. Knowledge is has no opposite, no beginning and no end. Knowledge
cannot be learned. I know this may surprise some, but, we don't LEARN God's
knowledge, we have it within us. He wrote all of His knowledge on our heart.
(mind). Now, in the natural definition that Webster gives, "understanding
acquired through experience", is true. We cannot KNOW a thing, really know
it, until we experience that thing. Knowledge has no time to it. Every level
of knowledge remains what it is. We may remember MORE, but, even as we
remember, that knowledge that we knew, the truth, is still the same
knowledge that others will walk through. It doesn't change. We just gain
MORE of it. Knowledge comes through THINKING.
2) Perception: Webster's definition is: The
act, process, or result of perceiving; the ability of perceiving; insight,
understanding.
Perception is made by the belief in opposites and separate
wills. Perception is in conflice with God. What perception sees and hears
appears to be real, because perception only permits into awareness onlly
what conforms to the wishes of whoever is doing the perceiving. Perception
is what has led to the illusional thinking that we have been doing, up till
now. It, perception, can be looked at as, being caught up in a dream, and
everything that our senses witnesses to the reality of that dream. We make
it appear true by our own interpretations of what we see. Most of what we
perceive justify all the things in us, that aren't really in us. Anger,
hate, destruction, envy, laziness etc.
Perception is a function of the flesh. It places a limit on
us. You see, when we see sickness, it is real in our perception. Yet,
Father's thoughts tell us, "By my stripes you are
healed". "God created man in His Image". What is God? God is a Spirit
Being. Sickness CANNOT attack itself to a Spirit, sickness must have a body
to attach to. BUT, our perception tells us that we are sick. That's
because our perception is not TRUE KNOWLEDGE, it is illusional thinking.
Now, sickness is real, AS LONG as we cling to our perception INSTEAD of
God's KNOWLEDGE. You see, the body is neutral. The Spirit being male, the
soul being female. So since the body is neutral, it demonstrates within
itself, which ever is stronger, spirit or soul. The body responds to what
our thoughts are. "Be
transformed by the renewing of the mind".
Dear ones, you'd be surprise at how our perception of
someone, MAKES that one to be what we perceive them to be. An example that
some will not catch, but is truth just the same is: Do you know that there
is not ONE CARNAL PERSON, NOT ONE. Do you know that there is not such a
thing as a CARNAL MIND. There is not ONE EVIL PERSON, not ONE SICK PERSON?
Did you know these things?
You say, "well what about what the bible says about the
carnal mind?" "What about Sadam Husain?, Hitler and people like them?" Oh,
in OUR PERCEPTION all these are real. But, what does Father say?
1Cor. 2:16, ".....BUT, we HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST."
John 1:16, "And OF HIS FULLNESS have all WE RECEIVED."
We don't have two minds. It is the perception that we have
two minds. Ask yourself, "does the fullness of God" include a carnal mind? I
don't think so. You see, we heard that we have a carnal mind, and we
perceived what we were told. There is ONLY ONE WAY OF SEEING, and that way
is as Father sees. We need to call forth TRUTH OF GOD! We need to turn loose
of our perception. We need to see ONLY as He sees.
"Well, what about Sudam Husain, Hitler and the likes?
2Cor. 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old
things are passed away; behold ALL things ARE become new."
Now some will say, "Sudam Husain isn't in Christ." Or Hitler
or the likes. Well, that's our perception talking. Doesn't Father say that
HE IS ALL IN ALL? Who's right, Father or our perception? And if you read my
study on "Life on Both Sides of the River", you learned that Sadam Husain,
Hitler and all the likes, are "BEING PROCLAIMED TO AT THIS MOMENT!! He saw
death. The River Jordon represents death. But, their is a Lamb Company
standing with one foot on the river and one foot on the earth, PROCLAIMING!!
That means, IF we, here on earth are learning KNOWLEDGE OF FATHER'S TRUTH,
those on the other side are too. And regardless of how much learning of His
knowledge it will take for Husain, Hitler and the others to lose the
PERCEPTIONS that they had, Father STILL SEES THEM AS HE BEGOT THEM. Our
perceptions DOES NOT change how Father sees. We need to call forth His
knowledge and His way of seeing, in ourselves.
Gal. 6:151 Tim 4:4, "For EVERY creature of God is good, and
nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving."
Here again, we see how our perception of things lead us into
false light. "EVERY CREATURE of God is good...". Now, let me ask you
something. When you see a homosexual, or a drug addict, or a drunk, do you
see them as good? I know that there was a time when I didn't. I saw them as
my PERCEPTION of them showed me. But, are they not a creature of God. Did
someone else beget them? How does Father see them? EXACTLY AS HE BROUGHT
THEM FORTH, OUT FROM WITHIN HIMSELF!! HE HAS NO PERCEPTION, HE HAS AND IS,
ONLY KNOWLEDGE! Are we any better than them? No, just better off, because we
have SOME knowledge about who they are, as well as Who we are. That's all.
They are the family of God. They WILL gain knowledge at the right time.
James 1:18, "Of his own will begat he us, with the word of
truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures."
We SHOULD BE a kind of firstfruits. But, what does our
perception tell us? "Oh, but you still do this and you still do that; and my
preacher said....". Folks, that is not knowledge of God, that is untrue
perception.
Rev.5:13, "And every creature which is in heaven, and on
earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in
them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto
him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever."
Listen, where was John when he wrote the Book of Revelation?
On the Isle of Patmos. But, where was he really? IN THE SPIRIT. For ANYONE
to who heard or hears John's words, THEY HAVE T BE HEARING BY THE SPIRIT!!
Where are all of these who John is speaking to? In heaven (that state of
being of being in Father), on the earth, under the earth, in the sea, and
all that are in them. Now, I know that that is a deeper spiritual meaning to
these words, but there is also a natural meaning. We need to call forth the
TRUE HEARING OF GOD!! We need to call forth SEEING AS GOD SEES. And we need
to EXERCISE these things. We are Spirit. The SAME Spirit that Father is,
perception makes us think the opposite. Remember, there are no opposited in
God. Light and darkness are the SAME to Him. We need to lose our perception
of darkness, we need to see them the eyes of the One that we are One with.
To be the light of Christ is only possible, coupled with true
intimacy with Him. We can only represent our Lord to others by accepting His
full presentation within us. His knowledge, not our perception. It would
make little sense to try to show others who Christ is when we do not know
ourselves. Intimacy with the Lord cannot be taught, it can only be
experienced and cultivated through relationship with Him. We cannot put
our spouses first, our children first, or anyone else. You know, Father
showed me a truth the other night, regarding my son. Lloyd really isn't MY
son. The ONLY WAY Lloyd can be my son, is for me to totally ONE WITH FATHER.
For we ALL belong to Him. Each and every person that has ever been, or will
ever be. Father just used my womb for, Lloyd, Father's Expression, to become
visible on this earth. How awesome is Father???
We were spoken into being before we were fashioned out of
clay! I don't mean the clay of this earth. We witnessed creation in all of
its splendor, as Father created it! Father is once again sending out the
call for those spoken at the dawn of time to come into their rightful place!
HIM!! Him as us and us as Him. It's a glorious truth that can only come into
manifestation, as we lose our perception and BELIEVE His Truths. We must
practice it as He speaks it to us. Remember how we did it in school? Well,
we're getting ready to graduate. Hallelujah!!
MAN
Man rests in the Mind of God as the Christ or Father's Life. Man is the
individualized expression of God, and is forever one with Perfect Life,
Perfect Love, Perfect Intelligence, and Perfect Substance. Man is the image
and likeness of God and his true individuality is Father. Therefore,
whatever God is, man is, because he is one with his Father, Whatever is
true of man, was true at the beginning of Creation. Man's thought of himself
changes as he expands in consciousness; and from change of thought comes
change in his outer experiences.
We will be looking at a little bit more about "thinking as
God", in the next part.
to be continued.
