Be Ye Transformed

I had been told, years back, that what the church referred to as the ‘rapture’ would never occur, but that individuals were being transformed into His Image as they came into enlightenment but those that had not been enlightened were not aware of this happening. And no I don’t completely understand what this means.

My understanding of the vision of last night and this morning is that ‘an age’ of enlightenment is coming and has come in which more and more are beginning to ‘see’ and are uniting together in a new vision as they leave the ‘idea of death’ behind.

In this age of enlightenment many of us will be ‘seeing’ and ‘hearing’ things from Father that will transform our entire way of thinking if we ‘listen’ and are willing to renew our minds to His Truth. I have to believe that those who are seeking His Truth have been hearing His Voice to new revelations for some time now, as I have, but haven’t understood exactly what they have been hearing. I believe this soon will change as His Holy Spirit is gently calling us with ‘little glimpses’ of Himself, and as we are willing and able to receive these glimpses, the larger picture will become clearer and clearer as we become more and more unified in His Name.

Please understand that I am not writing this under any pretense that I have full understanding or that I have been fully enlightened-Quite the contrary! However I am driven by His Calling to ‘KNOW  HIM’ and to share every ‘little glimpse’ of Him that I am shown, whether understood or not! So please bare with me if I describe something that I’ve seen or heard but do not fully understand along our journey.

I have been listening to His Soft Whispers for many years, some things are very clear and some are not; some I just have to put in my spirit and wait until He is ready to explain them so that we are able to receive His Message. And there are other visions and messages that I have no clue about and I have learned through many prayers and tears that this is ok. His Mysteries are His and everything has it’s own ‘time and season’ (for lack of a better term).

The most recent of His Whispers, I received as I was cutting the grass. I heard that if I had the need to be in King David’s ‘time’ (for example) that it would be possible for me to be there. That within God there is no since of ‘time’ as we know it. Time is just within the mind of man. To live in ‘time’ is man’s decision as he is frightened of the Omnipresence of His Creator and is hiding within the realms of ‘time’ to avoid what he understands to be God’s judgment. Our concept of the ‘Fear of God’ is real fear to us, and we are not ready to face what we understand could be our destruction so we have hidden ourselves within our own thoughts of what we want our God to be, safely within our own world. Within our world, we have given ourselves ‘time’ to make our selves ready to meet Our Creator.

Yeah I know what you’re thinking, “But what about Jesus? Didn’t he die for our sins? So what are we afraid of?”

Good Question.

Like most of you, I accepted Jesus as my savior when I was 13 years old, with the full belief that my eternity in heaven was a sure thing because of the death of Jesus. Don’t get me wrong, I still believe that as His Child, my eternity is secure within My Father. But just exactly what did Jesus do? He conquered death, hell and the grave-But How? I don’t know about you, but I want to know just exactly, step by step, what that means. I am a diligent seeker, and I do believe that My Father will show me, when He is ready, or when I am ready to receive His Answer without rejection.

I do know this much. Jesus left his body, as he commended his spirit into His Father’s Hands; this was the decision of Jesus and His God as to when he left his body-No man killed him! He also returned to that same body and walked around in it just like he said he would.

But did that save me?

Let’s just suppose…for a moment…that my salvation, like my elder brother Jesus, is my understanding that I do not have to be confined to the ‘time’ of man. That as Jesus demonstrated, death, hell and the grave cannot hold me here, and that nothing can separate me from the Love of God. Could it be that this was the message of Jesus, from the cross, to the resurrection, that he came to fulfill the law of the promise, that all men are the Sons of God, and are only separated from their Father out of fear? Could it be that guilt of ‘sin’ has kept us in hiding and we are not aware of it?

Remember, it was God that was calling to Adam, “Where are you?” And Adam was running for fear of exposure. He thought that he could hide his ‘nakedness’ and God wouldn’t see that he had made the decision to be his own god. But was that really Adam’s Will, to be his own god? Did he really make that decision or were his thoughts in error? Is it possible that he made the mistake, for just one second, as he considered the thought of making a world of his own in which he could make his own decisions, and that one second of mistaken thought, threw him into hiding from His Creator? Thus his guilt---of that one second of mistaken thought--- has kept him in hiding? But is God really looking to punish us? Or is it possible that Adam’s fear of God’s judgment and punishment is just another mistaken thought? What if God is just waiting for us to remember that He Is The All Loving God that HE says that HE Is? What if His Only Desire is for us to be ‘healed’ of our thoughts that have been in error? What if He is just waiting to Love us as His Son and give us All that He Is, just as HE says? What if that understanding was what Jesus came to give to us? What if that is our salvation? Can we forgive ourselves and our brothers for ‘thinking’ that it was necessary to hid from a Loving God? Can we forgive ourselves and our brothers for ‘thinking’ that a world of time can keep us hidden from a fearful God, at least until we can ‘think’ of a better world in which to clear ourselves of guilt?

Is it possible that it could be as simple as…“Father, forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors”…? And just who are our debtors? And just what is a debt? Just what do we owe and to whom?

Is it possible that forgiveness is what we owe? Remember the parable that Jesus told us of the king that pardoned the prisoner of his debt and released him, but he was imprisoned once again when he refused to forgive his brother of a much lesser debt. Was it the lack of forgiveness that imprisoned him?

Could it be that we need to forgive Adam and all of our brothers for the moments of mistaken thoughts that we have had in making a world of death, hell and the grave? Can we give our brothers the pardon that they deserve as Sons of God? Can we accept the pardon of Our Father for ourselves? Can we pray the prayer that Jesus instructed us to pray? “Father, forgive us our debts AS WE FORGIVE our debtors.”

Was Jesus really serious when he said to his disciples, that he was sending them as His Father had sent him and that whose soever sins they remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins they retain, they are retained?

Was he serious? Is that possible? And if I and my brother are one…then does that mean that his sin is mine…and that my sin is his? Then if I forgive him…then am I forgiven, because we are one?

How many times were folks healed of their physical disabilities as Jesus forgave them of their sins? Pardoned by forgiveness. And yet Jesus sent his disciples as he was sent with the warning that if they remitted the sins of others, they were remitted but if they retained the sins of others they were retained.

Father, forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.
