Are you ready? ©2006
We stand alone, for a long while, overlooking the bridge that spans eternity. Choices and decisions are but faint traces of struggle as life goes on. They fade behind us and new events replace the old ones. Yet the journey continues, places changing, people merging and separating, fears and joys blending in and out to form the tapestry of life. A tapestry is not made of single strands of material, all alike. Neither is life as it wends its way along, gathering up souls, some to create sadness and pain together others to share joy and laughter. Yet they all form the designs, intricate, delicate and profound, that make up the vast tapestry we call life. In this continually moving, changing inter-weaving pattern, where do we find continuity and permanence? Before the world as we know it on this plane came into being, we were already made and ready to come here and learn the lessons God wanted us to know. Throughout this time span, we enter the portals of this earth life, each according to God's perfect timetable until each soul is spiritually dveloped enough to be able to find their way out again and come back to Him. Each time we grow past limitations and lower energies we are lifted higher and we can keep growing upward until we actually have the higher vibration that allows us to escape this earth plane. Jesus tells us that we begin our journey to the kingdom from within ourselves. As we go inward and let go of this physical dimension, we enter a place where we can be restored to what God intended us to be. He says that we are changing from level to level.. It is a renewal process and this is what he means by being born again. We have to be born of the spirit, which is to give up our desire for the things of this world and center our mind and energies on seeking the kingdom within. Then we will gain a higher energy that will allow us to pass through other higher places. This is the born again process. To enter the kingdom we can have no sin in us. How can this be considering we are all so filled with sin and don't know how to get rid of it? We know Jesus died and bore our sins on the cross but we still sin and can't seem to escape it no matter how hard we try. Jesus made provision for us to escape our sin and be able to enter the kingdom. He did it through giving us the salvation process. As we surrender our wills and confess our sins, he helps us to let it all go and lose that mind set that keeps us caught in the law of sin and death. We can't enter the salvation process until we have the Holy Spirit. We need to know the Holy Spirit active and moving within us and to hear that voice that leads us to the left and to the right which is Christ in us, the hope of glory. If you don't have that or you're not sure, then ask God to give it to you because that's what will prepare you to enter the Kingdom of God. There should be no other things on your mind taking precedence or holding more importance to you than this. Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. Seek for the pearl of great price, not the useless pebbles that are nothing in the end. Today God is pouring out his Spirit everywhere. A spiritual awakening is happening and if you don't know about it, you are too pre-occupied with the things of the world. Jesus says if you love the world and the things of the world you don't love him because the world hated him. He is not of this world and neither should we be of this world. He has a beautiful place for us. But to get there we have to quit believing in the lies this world and its society tells us. All of it is wrong. Everything is different there, opposite of what this world system says. We need a full transformation of thought in our minds and only the work of the Holy Spirit is able to perform that. Jesus' way, the way of Christ consciousness which is pure love is the only way to enter the kingdom of God . When Christ is living in us, it's like He blends right into our being and takes over, invades us in our deepest parts and starts His loving work of cleansing us. His spirit is leading us and guiding us every second and we're never alone, constantly communing with him. He is with us, abiding in us all the time, changing us, working that perfect work in us, preparing us to be a child that can enter the kingdom. Do you know Jesus personally in your life? Do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Holy Spirit is active and living within your very being, knowing your every thought, changing you, helping you and always drawing you to give glory to the name of Jesus? If you're not sure, then pray with all your heart for this to happen to you. This is the most important thing you will ever do. Be ready when Jesus comes to lift you up unto Himself (the Christ Consciousness). He said that those that are His know His voice and will recognize Him when He comes. He was so pleased when Peter knew Him without being told. Trying to be good isn't the answer, It doesn't matter how often you go to church or how religious you are. You have to have the living, real Christ dwelling inside you by the power of the Holy Spirit preparing you to be able to submit and surrender every aspect of your life and being to God. If you read this thoroughly, I hope you feel the gravity and urgency of the message. I can't stress enough that now is the time to be ready for we know not when the Master returns.
