Today the Church celebrates the Feast of Christ the King. In the twenty-first century, the idea of a monarchy is not palatable to some. Although we may have an interest in what the royal family is doing (think of all the hoopla surrounding the wedding of William and Catherine), most of us probably would not like to bring back the monarchy to the United States.
In calling Christ our King, we acknowledge that Jesus is sovereign in our minds and hearts. He is the reason for our being. We owe Christ our allegiance, our worship, and our devotion. This last Sunday of the Church year is a reminder that ultimately we will be judged by God. Paul’s Letter to the Colossians highlights the reality that Christ is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, and is the cause of all things coming to be. In short, Christ is the gate through which all creation must pass in order to encounter God.

Interesting. Can you expand on this?
When I became able to read souls and be aware of other people’s sins, I learned very quickly not to judge them as they are punishing themselves, often unknowingly.
I have never met a woman who has had an abortion who has not judged herself. I have worked with hundreds of them.
Remember what Jesus said.. My Father exists in Me and I in My Father. And if you exist within Me, My Father that exists within Me also exists within you.
JESUS IS ALREADY HERE AND WE EXIST WITHIN HIM AND OUR FATHER. Only by cleaning our soul and growing spiritually do we realize that we are not just the hand, but also the body.
It is factual truth.
Imperfection cannot exist within perfection. The whole concept of burning in hell is a natural function of a low frequency consciousness experiencing the heat of the high frequency of God penetrating it. It works much the same way a microwave creates more heat in dense objects.
this is the reason the weeds in the wheat field are burned (Mathew 13). There are many, many scriptures which allude to this process in both OT and NT.
It’s also the reason for the “burning bush.” It’s what killed the eunuch when he touched the Ark. It’s the reason the furnace did not harm those thrown in but killed the guards who threw them in.....
From an atomic physics perspective, high levels of consciousness function much the same at electrons in an outer orbital around the nucleus. It’s why they give of light when they move to a lower orbital... this is why you see the light in the consciousness around the saints in the artwork. It really is very simple to understand when you experience it.
Thank you for sharing. Were you “gone long?” You mentioned the lady who was ‘dead’ 18 minutes.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Were you “gone long?
Not sure... There is a time distortion between the two levels of consciousness... a minute there is like hours here. Has to do with the relationship of a higher consciousness and the speed of light... It’s the reason scriptures often refer to God as Light.
I’ve been over and back several times, but usually do not totally let go of here. My first and most profound experience began during a spinal tap when I had meningitis. Due to the coma afterward I cannot say how long I was gone from here.
Allow me to say that visiting heaven does not mean that you are no longer here. That is what Jesus was trying to teach us. You expand your consciousness awareness. This is also the reason that several saints bodies did not decay.
If I ever say anything that appears contradictory to the Bible, please challenge me as I do accept it as the truth.
I always reserve the right to be wrong.
“So the one thing they all pretty much agreed on was relativism and love of mammon.”
That is why Obama was elected... We must enter the great “fall.” For the same reason that you cannot put new wine in an old wine skin, we must get rid of the old. We have no room for god when we are full of ourselves, thus we are entering the period of great emptying.
Always remember... God is in control and there is a happy ending.
Post of the day.
It lives in the palace called the White House. Have you not been following the political shenanigans over the last dozen decades? The Imperial Presidency really got going under Kennedy, but it had its roots from the late 19th Century.
Perfect love casts out fear. (1 John 4)
Misquoting Scripture is a sure path to deception.
The concept of rapture is merely us being purified and raised up to a level where we can exist but evil can not.
Chapter and verse?
We CANNOT purify our own souls. Only God can forgive us and declare us righteous in His sight.
just.... wow.....
Got Scripture to support any of that?
“Just as perfect Love casts out evil, evil or sin cannot exist in the presence of Jesus.”
My comment comes from my own experiences. I used to wonder why I would be totally filled with this feeling of profound Love every time I would be removing demonic or dark spirits or just being in the presence of a divine healing. Love acts as a laser beam, transmuting all lower frequency consciousness. It is as though the fire within radiates outward, burning all low frequency energy approaching just as a bug flying into a bug zapper. Evil is afraid that it will kill them. This is the great lie that keeps many earthbound spirits shackled.
>> All this time I thought it was the Religion Moderator.
Ha!
Existence is Hell. And I don’t mean that in a negative way.
“We CANNOT purify our own souls. Only God can forgive us and declare us righteous in His sight.”
Most Christians call Jesus as their savior and treat Him as a lifeguard that can pluck them from the water when they are drowning. While Jesus can do just that, He is a rabbi, a teacher who came here to teach us how to swim.
Which would you more desire, being rescued every time you are drowning or learning how to swim? Jesus was teaching us to be Christ-like in our behavior. To be in Him and as He said to His disciples when He sent them out, “The things that I do and more you too shall do ....”
Please read Matthew 24:25. Again, if my memory is correct as I did not go back and verify the cite.... When warning to be aware of false messiahs. If they say He is in the wilderness or the inner chamber, do not believe them. As the lightning in the east is seen in the west, so will be the messiah. (He must be one heck of a big dude!!)
The key to understanding this scripture is to understand that our consciousness or soul expands as it is raised up or grows. Just as Jesus did when He came though the temptations and said, “My Father and I are One.” Communion is our process of realizing that Jesus and I are One. I am a part of the Body, not just the hand.
I use the image of Russian nesting dolls to illustrate this. We are the little doll in the middle and God is the big outer doll. Jesus is the doll between us. Using this image it is easy to understand why we cannot get to God except through Jesus.
“Perfect love casts out fear. (1 John 4)
Misquoting Scripture is a sure path to deception”
So is quoting out of context. I agree.
1 John 4 is one of my favorite scriptures:
13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
This is also an excellent scripture to understand that God & Jesus are Love and that Love “drives out fear that has to do with punishment.” I associate punishment with judgement and Love with forgiveness or non-judgement.
I have been reading along with these posts, and can't help but enter the conversation.
You, tired, are relying on a personal experience whereby you claim a NDE. I don't doubt that you may have had an experience, but God hash't given a special power to anyone. The power of "discernment" is a fruit of the Spirit and open to us all. But to claim some mystical power availed to someone in an NDE is just a little closer to the enemy. Be careful of the spirit and test it closely.
Galatians 5: 13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. - Love, Paul
“but God hash’t given a special power to anyone.”
I never said I was special... What I am saying is that Jesus said his disciples could do the things He did and more..
I am a disciple of Jesus.
1 Corinthians 12
New International Version (NIV)
Concerning Spiritual Gifts
12 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. 3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
