May 2018 – Past the Surface

The Car IS Replaceable

Vehicles and other modes of transportation we use on a daily basis are man-made and invented to make things more efficient. The majority of the transportation we use to travel is something we generally step inside and ride until reaching our destination. There are some transportation we ride on top of (bikes, boats…etc) to our destination. We walk inside, step inside, or sit inside the vehicle that is going to carry us to our desired destination.

“The Car IS Replaceable” comes from a statement my dad said to me after being in a car accident. At the time I thought it was a cool, comforting, and a relief of stress statement. I did not think past the surface of that statement at that moment. I did not hear the strong love inside those words spoken from a man who never said, “I love you”, but we knew we were loved.

I got my driver’s license so I could step inside a vehicle and go where ever I wanted to go. It was an old car and not very attractive to look upon. I did not care because the freedom that car brought to me. In the summer the only air conditioning the car had was rolling down two windows and driving fast for a breeze to cool you off. In the winter the car always had a cold breeze coming in from somewhere down at your feet. The radio had push-in buttons and a dial to twist for searching for radio stations that would turn into static once out of range of the radio tower. I did not care because my hunger to explore was fulfilled in the ability of the freedom to travel.

The car accident I was in broke my heart though what some would call it a piece of junk was my friend that could take me places. This car accident is the time and place the Lord took my memory and my spirit to focus on. The Lord pointed out the words, “The Car IS Replaceable“. He wanted to show me something absolutely wonderful.

A little side step: I did not know what it was like to have a friend like God. All I knew was darkness, hate, betrayal, revenge, and many more evil things before giving Him a chance of friendship with me. Now, when my thoughts are guided by Him I love to follow through the thickness because in the end I found myself standing with trees around me at the cliff’s edge beholding a beautiful sun filled valley covered with truth of myself and of the world around me.

Back on track: The Lord pointed out the words, “The Car IS Replaceable“. The Lord revealed my dad was saying what was more important to him was the driver inside the vehicle. The car is something we can go down to the local shops to have it repaired and restored. It is not the outside he was most concerned with, but the inside driver was the most important. If the inside driver is alright the outside can be taken care of later. It is the driver inside that is most important.

The Lord said, “Come with Me“. He took me back to the beginning of creation and time. He pointed out when Eve and Adam broke the one law with the penalty of death passed onto their body from the dust of the earth and their eternal soul from God. God like any real dad wants to save His children. Death, disease, tragedy, pain, suffering was now passed onto all of mankind (Ge. 3). Death had to come because God’s word must be fulfilled or He would not be God.

God instantly put into motion a remedy and redemption from death for His children (us). God showed me just like your dad said, “The Car IS Replaceable” He was looking at our eternal soul inside that fleshly vehicle, our body. He was looking at the driver inside the body. The body can be replaced because it is made of the earth, but the spirit driver cannot be replaced because it is made of eternal substance from God.

A little side step: God put a promise of a fleshly vehicle in the birthing channels of mankind’s future with His Spirit on the inside to go through the steps of mankind, facing death, paying the debt of death in our place, and providing a path of redemption to eternal life – Jesus Christ (Jn. 1:1-3,14).

Back on track: God showed me He was more interested in saving the spirit driver inside the body vehicle because the body is no problem with Him in fixing or replacing. Once the Lord showed me He was more interested in the spirit driver inside our bodies it opened the whole Bible and the whole world around me.

From this moment forward everything God did was to reach the soul inside the bodies of man. The awakening of man’s spirit to the seeing and hearing the truth directly from God was His total goal. It is the driver inside that is most important.

Now, when you read the Bible you should see the events happening to individuals for the sole purpose to their spirit awakening from the sleep of death of their flesh to the light of truth God wanted them to see. What will blow your mind even more is that God will be working on one individual to see and be multitasking on others around that one person for them to see. He is always multitasking because He is God.

Eve and Adam I cannot afford to lose your soul to death and hell. I will put into motion a dept payment of forgiveness you will have to freely receive, but for now you will have to live a life of hardship because you made the free will choice to follow the evil and evil is our master.

If you look at all the events that happened to Moses you can see it was all for the benefit of his eternal spirit inside his fleshly vehicle to learn, to grow, and to mature for the saving of his soul along with those around him. Pharaoh was given ten plagues dealing with his spirit on the inside to believe in God, but his free will choice was to reject and defy God. It is the driver inside that is most important.

You can pick anyone or even your favorite person in the Bible and you will see how God was constantly dealing with the driver inside their bodies to be saved. It is all about the driver on the inside getting healed first and the saving will naturally take care of the outward vehicle of flesh revealing the change.

Things that come your way could be like Pharaoh with God trying to get you to see something inside your spirit that needs to be fixed far above the need of your body being fixed. He can fix anything in this world, but the one area He restricts Himself from, which is the most important to Him is the area of our eternal spirit. Our free will of choosing to believe is totally in our spirit to see and perceive Him to hear and understand Him. He did not many miracles because of their lack of faith (Mtt. 13:58 ). Faith is a free will choice He restricts Himself for us to decide on our own.

“The Car IS Replaceable” is what God is saying about your fleshly body. Your body is just carrying the real treasure to God inside. People judge you by your appearance before giving your spirit on the inside a chance. God allows things and does all things for the sake of your spirit (2 Cor. 4:15) to receive His life and life more abundantly. The Bible is like those words my dad spoke to me “The Car IS Replaceable” without deeply considering them. I missed out on the greatest understanding that was past the surface of those words.

Wow, I see the people in the Bible God was totally after their spirit driver to understand and believe from within their fleshly vehicles. The world around us today is being used to reach our spiritual man inside our aging fleshly bodies, which are just temporary vehicles of this world.

The Lord said I am like your dad that “The Car IS Replaceable“, but the driver on the inside is irreplaceable. Your body only conveys what your spirit wants to be seen.

The importance of the real you on the inside of your body is everywhere in the Bible, but I copied a section of the Bible from 2 Corinthians 4:4-18 that is point-blank about the real you on the inside. It is from the New International Version for anyone who may struggle with the King James Version. Please read it and see yourself in those words past the surface of your flesh.

4) The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (5) For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. (6) For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. (7) But we have this treasure in jars of clay ‘(referring to our bodies)’ to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (8) We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; (9) persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. (10) We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. (11) For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. (12) So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. (13) It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, (14) because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. (15) All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. (16) Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. (17) For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. (18) So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Eve and Adam, Moses, Pharaoh, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ruth, Samson, Elijah, David I want you to see. Even when God came to the earth inside the flesh of Jesus He was wanting every person to see the truth in them and what was inside of Jesus. “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (Jn. 17:3).

SAVING THE DRIVER – ACTS 2:38

PART 1: Jesus paid the debt of death for mankind with his own born vehicle fleshly blood. For us to be accepted and to receive this payment is to repent and be baptized in water in Jesus name applying that blood of forgiveness over our fleshly bodies purifying the washing away of all sins. I don’t know about you, but to have ALL my sins washed away by the name of Jesus blows my mind with a freedom I cannot describe.

PART 2: Jesus resurrected from the dead with a new-born again heavenly body housing his Spirit. For us to be accepted and to receive this down payment of our inheritance from God (2 Cor. 1:22, 5:5; Eph. 1:13, 14), which is His Spirit moving in with our spirit, is to pray for the in filling of His Spirit with a sign to us of speaking another language as He gives us the words that we have not learned, praising Him as they did in Acts 2.

Acts chapter two is where the inward driver of every body and soul is born again saved from the death crash all of mankind will face because Jesus has provided a new vehicle and a new spirit to help us reach our home in heaven. God does not want us to wreck in this life without our new vehicle and new spirit.

“The Car IS Replaceable“, but your spirit is not. He multitasking every moment to reach what is most precious to Him and that is your spirit. There is a time of death waiting for all of us and all He wants to do is to save the spirit driver before that time comes unexpectedly.

Thank you for subscribing and my prayers are that you have such a fellowship with Him that the word ‘happiness’ falls short of describing your relationship. Have a great day in-spite of what comes your way.

To Know Him

Knowing is the beginning to making a decision of wrapping your thoughts, your belief, and your life around that something. ‘Beginning‘ is a starting point. A place you can go forward into understanding and perceiving. If you love something you will want all the knowledge you can of that something to strengthen and prove the love to be real. “To Know Him” is journey that I began a long time ago when out of the darkness His voice called me into the light.

He showed me a side of Him that I consider very deep that branches out in many directions. I hope as you read you will see Him in the same glowing light I did when He showed me. I discovered that “To Know Him” is part of the meaning of eternal life. What is eternal life? Eternal life is knowing the one true God and Jesus Christ whom He sent (Jn. 17:3) to us here on earth. ‘To Know Him‘ is without boundaries to a never-ending journey filled with breath taking lights of truth opening our trapped minds and hearts to take flight into the air of eternal wings of freedom.

The things I may say have no meaning to some, but to others who have lived in the past, still living in the present, and their tomorrow’s have it waiting on them of hard times will understand what it means to live in darkness. Depending on the level of your hardships in this life you may have had will determine the depth you will seek “To Know Him“. This is why I consider this a deep subject because looking into His world is a challenge for us to open our minds to His level, but it is a complete worthy attempt on our part because that is all He wants.

Before the beginning, during the beginning, and after the beginning there was God. ‘Beginning‘ is a start of something measured by time. God was before time. Before there was a start of anything there was God. Try your best to erase from your imagination all things you have seen to exist from text books, to looking up at the stars at night, the sun by day, the planets from outer space pictures. Empty out of your mind of all creations you have stored. You will see God.

There was only God before the beginning of all things. God is a Spirit (Jn. 4:24) with no restrictions of distance, knowledge, or power to His Spirit. God does not have a beginning or an ending as all the things we know. For His Spirit side He does not have a solid substance as we do of flesh and bones (Lu. 24:39). This is where you release the limits of your mind giving God His true vastness. If everything is empty of creations in your mind then you should see only God everywhere with nothing else. His consciousness was everywhere. His power was everywhere together all at once. This is why He is known as the One true God because He cannot be divided (Is. 45:5) if He is everywhere in consciousness and power at once.

There was no sun, no stars, no moon, no earth, no angels, and no heavenly throne absolutely no beginning to anything only the unlimited vastness of God’s presence, intelligence, and power. This is where God wanted me to start looking at Him. He was all alone being everywhere at once, conscious everywhere at once and His power everywhere at once.

We are ready to start in getting “To know Him”. When God wanted something He used His Word to make things solid. When His Spirit desired something He used His Word side to make it a tangible substance. He took a tiny part of His intelligence, presence, and power to come together through His Word side to create something with a beginning.

When our spirit wants something it uses our flesh side to go get it. Our spirit inside our fleshly body uses the body to get that something it wants. We are made in the image and likeness of God (Ge. 1:26). We have a dual nature about us. We have basically our fleshly body and our spirit inside. God has a dual nature about Himself. He has His Spirit side being everywhere at once, knowing all things at once, and powering all things at once. He has His Word side that creates all things.

When God’s Spirit wants something His Word side would make it. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” (Jn 1:1-3). He wanted different kinds of eternal beings that would never die. His Word side created, just like our hands would make something, made angels completely of solid eternal substance. His Word side created a place to live around Him in a centralized place we call from here from earth – “heaven”. His Word side like unto our body side created all things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through His Word side and for His Word side. “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.“(Col. 1:16,17)

Before we go any further ‘To Know Him‘ I want you to stop and think inside your mind right now on something you wanted deep from within yourself and what actions did you take to reach that goal? I saw within myself my spirit wanted something and it took over control of my body taking me to those places reaching with my hands moving my mouth speaking the words for those desires of my spirit. There are times our spirit does take over our bodies, but not as much as our bodies control our spirit for the things of this world, but there are those times. This will really get you if you can see yourself inside your body wanting something and using your physical body to take action for that desire. This is what God did from His Spirit side through His Word side.

When you see me you see my looks and when I see you I see your looks. When we talk and interact with each other we are seeing and hearing the spirit within our bodies controlling what information comes out between us. Our bodies are easily visible, but out spirits within are not so easy to see. We do not see God’s Spirit side so easily, but His Word side can be seen if we know where to look.

God from within Himself desired to have things and His Word took action towards bringing those things into being. All things created are a reflection of God’s desire. SIDE NOTE: Now, if your mind jumped into the evil things of this world remember it is what we did with God. He gave us and the angels a free will chance with Him. It is not His fault because of the results of evil. It is because of what we did with Him (His words of warning Ge. 2:17, the forbidden fruit…). Some angels took His substance that they were made of and wanted to mix His good with darkness. Eve and Adam wanted something else more than God. It is what we did with Him not what He did with us. The angel’s or our free will rejected Him desiring to be above Him. Only He can handle keeping the knowledge of good and the knowledge of evil in its proper place.

BACK ON TRACK: ‘all things created is a reflection of Him‘ and His desires, when His Spirit took action through His Word in creating the sun light He had these words to say, “It is good” (Ge. 1:4). God was happy. How many of us could speak from our spirit and have something made in front of our eyes? We are His children and we do have certain levels of power to speak from our spirit and have our body, like His Word, do what we want (advancement of technology). You do have His power of choice. You can speak from your spirit that you want to be free, you want ‘To Know Him‘, you want good, you want forgiveness, you want happiness, you want joy, you want to go to heaven, you want to stop being evil, you want the truth. He will grant us such things becoming one with Him once again.

Your spirit can make your fleshly knees kneel down; make your tongue speak the brokenness from your heart to Him, and make your hands rise into the air before God surrendering. You have the power to reach out to Him and find Him. Your spirit can rise up making the house of flesh you live in walk towards His loving light.

He, once again had a desire in His Spirit. In His Spirit He desired to save us from this world of sorrow and pain. His Spirit side took action through His Word side placing a physical/spiritual promise of a day He would come to save us (Ge. 3:15) because the day we desired to be above God eating the forbidden fruit of the knowledge of good and the knowledge of evil darkness had complete control of this world and us.

When the day came God became flesh as one of us with His all present Spirit still everywhere He had His Word side walking among us for His desired purpose to save us. The Spirit and the Word is the one and the same One true God. His dual nature of being Spirit substance to His active Word solid substance walked among us showing us how to be saved and how to be true children of God. He released the secrets “To Know Him” through the man Jesus. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.“”The same was in the beginning with God” “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us…” (Jn. 1:1,2,14)

Here is an insight to God wanting something: A man approached Jesus for the healing of someone dear to his heart. This man wanted from his spirit this healing. His spirit made his body take the journey for his spirit’s desire. He asks Jesus for this healing, but God inside of Jesus wanted to extract out of this man’s spirit what was a hidden treasure for all to hear and see. Jesus asked should he come to the man’s place to heal his loved one. What God wanted from this man started coming forth when the man spoke from his spirit. The man spoke quickly from his spirit moving his vocal cords, tongue, and lips voicing His profession, I am unworthy that you should come under my roof, but if you just speak the Word I know my servant will be healed. God desired to bring out this man for everyone to hear this treasure of understanding that God called great. The man continued to explain his reason for ‘just speak the word, Lord‘ professing with his spirit flowing outward of his body revealing he is a man with earthly authority to speak things to be done that Jesus was a man under God’s authority to speak things to be done. (Mtt. 8:8-10). Wow!

This man’s faith saw past the surface of the flesh looking into the Spirit of God declaring when You speak it shall be done. How very close this man came to revealing God’s Spirit having a desire for something to be and God sets His Word side into motion making that something happen. Did this man see the Spirit of God that when He desired and began to speak through His Word that this was as the promise of: “So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” (Is. 55:11)? Wow, does this not make you want “To Know Him”?

Right now God’s Spirit has a desire looking at you, your family, your friends, and as many as there are far away (Acts 2:39). Do you want His Word to be free to work in your life? He holds Himself back for one reason only and that is for your spirit to desire Him. He gives us His Spirit and His Word as an unbreakable bond waiting for us to meet Him with our spirit and our word from a made up mind of wanting to be a part of His family forever. An unbreakable oneness with Him far different from the oneness relationships of this world.

If I have any power within myself I want to give Him my word and my spirit in full trust that I will never live a day in this life without His happiness, His mercy, His grace, His fellowship, His wisdom, and His salvation living, moving, and having His being freely inside my life. Can you imagine having the God before all beginnings inside your body as a roommate to your spirit? If you have read this far you will see a person who is still living in a harsh world, but inside my body is the best roommate a person could ever have in this life and the one to come. I have His Spirit/Word living in me with the storms on the outside, but sunshine on the inside.

I am telling you ‘To Know Him‘ with all your heart, mind, and soul there will be no regrets. He will never lead you astray, back stab you, gossip on you, betray you, or leave you. He loves you so much. He wants you to receive the power of His Spirit and to be covered by His love. He is still the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is moved in His Spirit and will send forth His Word upon you giving you the in filling of His Spirit as they did in (Acts 2:4) with the evidence coming out of your own mouth you have received Him and a water baptism of forgiveness in the name of Jesus (Word in flesh, holy blood) washing away all your sins (Acts 2:38). I have never felt freer in all my life than the day I was born again of the water and of the Spirit (Jn 3:1-6; Acts 2:38). He wants His Spirit and His Word to be one with your spirit and your word.

“To Know Him” has put me on a path of light away from darkness. “To Know Him” gives me happiness that no words could be expressed to completely convey the inward freedom. “To Know Him” makes me want to help you anyway I can to find Him yourself and start your own personal journey with Him. The happiness in my soul for you to start your own walk with Him brings tears of joy swelling up from deep within my spirit to the surface of the eyes of my body turning them into waterfalls of gratefulness. “To Know Him” in His Spirit and in His Word (Jesus) is eternal life. Your life is too short and too precious to go through it bitter and upset make that choice of change. Have a great day not matter what comes your way.

Thank You

I want to take time to say a special “Thank You” to all of you from my heart for subscribing to my humble posts. I have no motive to hurt anyone, unless that hurt awakens you (Prov. 27:6) to something you did not know was there inside of you giving you a second chance to free yourself. If I can play a small part in your life in bringing you forgiveness, happiness, freedom, understandings, and truth I feel I would have led a fulfilled life.

God gives me things and I want to give them to you by His permission. I am absolutely no one special and deserves no praise. What I do have is what has been given to me from Him. I was in darkness living a self-centered life in this world before He came into my life. I was a victim to evil things and returned the evil things to others for revenge to my shame. When God came into my life He took away darkness and I could see the light all around. One day, one step, one thought, one prayer, one breath at a time He has helped me towards becoming one of His children (Ro. 8:14).

I am still on this journey exploring and discovering beautiful things He points out and I want to take you with me if you are willing to hang on. Some of the things He shares with me can be very deep for our different levels of thinking (Is. 55:8,9). I will do my best to present it to you in the way He allowed me to see it and hear it.

Again, “Thank You!” for allowing me the opportunity to share with you. May His Holy light shine upon your heart surrounding and warming it with His eternal love.
