DIVINE INTELLIGENCE


          It is no wonder that some people do not believe in God.  God, as presented by fundamental Christianity, is a vindictive tyrant who watches and waits for you to blunder then unleashes his wrath; punishment for your sins -- yet, you are expected to believe that he loves you immensely. This God allows wars, poverty, unspeakable suffering, sickness and many other atrocities that can in no way be associated with love. Even the staunchest Christian, in the midst of a dark hour, may find his faith in such a God waning as he beseeches deliverance that doesn't come. This is why I do not believe in God either;  at least not God as he has been doled out to the masses throughout history as an all sovereign  that demiurge distributes calamity or fortune at his whim. I believe instead in an impersonal creative energy that is bound by immutable Universal Law to be a respecter of no man.  It will not -- cannot -- intervene in the affairs of man, ever.  I refer to this energy as Divine Intelligence.  You may call it what you will – even God, if you like.  I sometimes do myself.

          If the bible is perused with the awareness of the possibility of such a phenomenon as Divine Intelligence, one would find that much, if not all biblical reference to God makes more logical sense.  Pay very close attention to what the bible says about God and man, and here you will find the Laws that set the parameters of Divine Intelligence, and man’s place in the scheme of things; including the one that I mentioned above – God being a respecter of no man.  This is not to be taken as a frivolous character trait of a mystical deity as hereto now presented.  But rather this is an actual law that governs the vast, expansive, intelligent, creative force that controls the universe,  Divine Intelligence.  It does not give consideration to man because it cannot do this anymore than an apple could fall upwards from a tree.

          The figurehead, plastic model of God who sits on high in some unknown place called heaven, is a construct of powerful leaders from ancient time to the present.  They have intentionally misled and confused the masses as to the actual nature of God.  Why, you say, would they do that?  The answer is quite simple and one you’ve heard or read many times before –  if man knew who or what God is, then he would know who he is because he was made in God’s image.  If we were all able to comprehend that we ourselves are gods, with the same power within us that created the heavens and the earth, then no man could possess another.  We are merely individual satellites of the same Mother Ship, the same Divine Intelligence commonly known as God.  This is why the bible tells us that God is “everywhere,” because this force exists in everything including man.  This is also why Jesus constantly reminded those who marveled at the miracles he performed that they had the ability to do the same. 

          Divine Intelligence, as I have stated, is rendered impotent to intervene in man’s affairs by law.  The only other variable in this equation is man himself.  While law prevents Divine Intelligence from possessing volition that it can act upon, man has the ability to use this creative intelligence to craft the circumstances he desires.  Divine Intelligence responds to man’s thoughts by manifesting what he believes.  Thus biblical verses that refer to belief being the prerequisite to receive have their basis in this.  Belief is any thought held in man’s consciousness.  Many enlightened thinkers understand this concept well.  Mother Teresa, for instance, has been reported to have said while she would not attend a war protest she would however, attend a rally for peace.  Whether the thought be of love or hate, fear or courage, good or evil, is immaterial to Divine Intelligence.  It is only necessary that the thought be held with sufficient emotion or conviction for creative energy to begin to move.

          The thoughts we hold are constantly creating our world and the universe. The tragedies of this world are nothing more than the mere out-picturing of all individual consciousnesses, which collectively make up the race consciousness.  The bible repeatedly says ask and you shall receive and all things are possible if you believe.  This is always interpreted one way, as referring to good.  However evil and malevolent occurrences are possible and exist because we believe in, and thereby  ask for them, as well. The moment we stop believing in war, sickness, violence, and even death itself, these phenomena will no longer exist.  The many references in the bible regarding eternal life are not meant for some distant after life, but man on this earthly plane. 

          It is well enough that this universal power, Divine Intelligence, exists.  What is even more inviting is that this energy force is at our disposal. We, being made in its image, are in fact one in the same as It.  To his own demise, man’s ignorance of his divine inheritance and his place in the order of things has allowed the catastrophes we see manifested on the planet, and the perpetuation of the evil we despise.  Rather than a fictitious, heartless, egomaniacal God that allows immense suffering and lack among humanity, what we have is a Divine intelligence that cannot act outside of itself to affect change on man's condition.  Being made in the image of It, however, by consciously directing his thought towards any desired end, man has the ability  to summon the power of Divine Intelligence, which seeks to always give him what he has asked for according to what he holds in his mind and in his heart.

*If you have invited Jesus into your life then know that the Holy Spirit lives in your heart and if the Holy Spirit lives in your heart then you have eternal life. Yes, you have eternal life the moment that you accepted Jesus into your life and received the Holy Spirit into your heart your spirit will never die. You have eternal life today!  (You don't have to wait till you die a physical death and enter heaven.) You have eternal life and you reign as a priest and a king today!          Today!    Today!    Today!

ON THE SAME PAGE

How did you sleep last night? Was your sleep sweet?..........................
 
While I was praying and interceding last night and into the morning, yes.................
P-U-S-H (Pray Until Something Happens) and I prayed and something did.................
 
Jesus spoke to me just as clear as I am speaking to you now:
 
 
TODAY, I WANT YOU TO SURRENDER EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE TO ME AND WATCH..........AND WATCH
WATCH ME TRANSFORM EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE TO MY GLORY...................................
NOT ONLY THE BAD PARTS BUT THE GOOD AS WELL.........EXCHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR MINE.................
I WANT YOU TO SEE ME IN EVERYTHING YOU DO...........I WANT YOU TO SENSE MY PRESENCE.............
STARTING TODAY.............I WANT YOU TO NEVER DOUBT BUT TO BELIEVE.............SURRENDER...........
WHAT YOU DON'T SURRENDER..................YOU WILL LOSE..............THUS SAITH THE LORD................
 
 
I believe that God is speaking in the present tense here. What you choose to hold on to you will lose.
Your house, your job, your money, your children, your life..........................................................
 
 
Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I come to you naked and ashamed. I come to you in sackcloth and ashes.
Take my life Jesus and exchange it for yours. I realize that I will never understand why as I draw closer to your heart that my life seems to unravel. I realize that unless I totally surrender all my creature comforts and allow your Holy Presence to surround me (7) seven ways: North, South, East, West, Top, Bottom and All Around, I will be a child.
Father, you have revealed to me that you are looking for people, so Father, I confess that I have grown up and I am ready to accept everything your way. Father, I may feel uncomfortable. Lord, I may have to give up more than a few relationships. I may have to change my occupation. I may have to surrender finance. I may have to forsake my children for a season. Whatever it is Father, I am prepared to do it. I declare that I am prepared to lose my life so I can reign with Jesus. Thank you Father, for your Divine Intelligence, this morning. Yes, yes....I will build that ark.....

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

Every day, I find myself praying something a little like this, please pray this with me:
 
Lord, I am sorry for the things that I've done wrong. I thank you for dying on the cross for me. I recognize that I am a sinner in need of a Savior, and I believe that you alone can save me from the penalty of my sins. Please apply your blood to my life right now. From this day forward, I want to live my life Your way, by the power of Your Spirit within me. I invite you to come into my life right now and make me a new person. Thank you, Jesus.

We are going to drop some questions into your lap to ponder into your spirit this week:
 
1- How can you run from God without running into Him?
2- If you are busy playing someone else in the stage of life, who is going to play you?
3- Why does satan know what I am thinking?
4- Are you following your plan or God's plan?

Your Heavenly Father must be first and foremost in your life. How often do we become "christian know-it-alls" and we don't even know what His voice really sounds like? The Word  says: "My sheep hear my voice!" Not my lamb.
To often we are lead astray by false doctrine and we allow our emotions to lead us into the wilderness instead of into the promised land. Our prayers go unanswered because they do not line up with "The Word". If you can't get in agreement with your spouse/brother/sister; how can you be in agreement with God? We want God to bless our mess when God was trying to lead you down a different path if you had only aligned yourself with His Will. You see, child-of-God, we often can't see the "big picture", that the Master Creator of the Universe, can.  God is transcendent, do you have any idea what that means?...................It means that your Daddy is not limited, so what is written for our remembrance in John 10 v 10 is meant to stand by itself. Equate to the devil his works and equate to God His Works.
 
Steal+kill+destroy = devil................................Life+Abundantly= God

 
We believe that some have forgotten who they are:
 
                                                                       You are 
                                                                                   Royalty
                                                                                   Sons and daughters of the King
                                                                                   Children of the most High God
                                                                                   Heirs
                                                                                   Citizens of Heaven
                                                                                   A peculiar people
                                                                                   Chosen
                                                                                                               

 
                                                                          Remember Who You Are.........

HOLY RAIN AND FREEZING RAIN

Turn with me to the book of Genesis.............let's see...........ummm............Chapter 16...........
Shout Hallelujah when you are there..............Let's begin to read from.........ummm..........Verse 1 and let's stop after Verse 6
Now Verse 7 says:  But the Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness on the road to Shur.
In other words...........God found Hagar by a WELL..........Hagar was treated harshly and unfairly so she ran to the well..............
Today, I am asking you to examine yourself...........Have you ever been in such a place?...........................................................
You cry out to God and He says Verse 9.......................... Go back to your mistress and [humbly] submit to her control.
God says I see your persecution. I see your suffering. I see  your hurt that is why your Daddy is going to....................................
Verse 10........................ multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be numbered for multitude.
And God is going to give that blessing a name: 
Verse 11............... Ishmael [God hears], because the Lord has heard and paid attention to your affliction.............. Hallelujah!
But we find a warning in Verse 12............But Verse 13.............. Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the Lord, who had spoken to her. She said, “You are El Ro' i (the God who sees me.”)She also said, “Have I truly seen the One who sees me?” The answer is found in Verse 14:  So that WELL was named Beer-lahai-roi (which means “well of the Living One who sees me”). 
So whatever you might be going through.............. Whatever hurt............................Whatever pain...........................................
Remember you can always go to Beer-lahai-roi which Verse 14........can still be found between Kadesh (Holy) and Bered (Hail).
Yes, God is the One who sees you...............Yes, God sees what you are going through...................................And Yes, God cares
And you can find your blessing between  Holy Rain and Freezing Rain..........................................between Issac and Ismael.
You will find your blessing in the midst of your flight (Hagar).................................God will meet you at Beer-lahai-roi.

DON'T GIVE UP

One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God. 
 "God", I asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me...
"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?" 
 "Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. 
 I gave them light. I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth.  Its brilliant green covered the floor. 
 Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo."
"In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. 
But I did not quit on the bamboo." He said.
"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.
 But I would not quit."
"In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would
not quit." He said.
"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared
to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...But just 6
months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. 
I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
He asked me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have  been struggling, you have actually been growing roots".
 "I would not quit on the bamboo.
I will never quit on you."
"Don't compare yourself to others," He said.
"The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern,

 yet they both make the forest beautiful." 
"Your time will come", God said to me.
 "You will rise high!"
"How high should I rise?" I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.
"As high as it can?" I questioned.
"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."

I left the forest and brought back this story.
I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.
Never, Never, Never Give up.

For the Christian Prayer is not an option but an opportunity.
Don't tell the Lord how big the problem is, tell the problem how Great the Lord is!

 God asked me... "My CHILD...what can I do for you?" 
and I said "Daddy please protect and bless the one reading this message."
 God smiled and answered ...  "REQUEST GRANTED!" .............

This message is now in your hands.
What will YOU do with it?

THE BLOOD OF JESUS

One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God
at her heart; she responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol,
drugs, and prostitution but the change in her was evident.

As time went on she became a faithful member of the church.
She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children.

It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son. The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans.

This is when the problems began.
You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman
with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son.

The church began to argue and fight about the matter.
So they decided to have a meeting. 

As the people made their arguments and tensions increased,
the meeting was getting completely out of hand.

The young woman became very upset about all the things
being brought up about her past,
as she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak.
He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be.
He began to speak and his statement was this: 


'My fiancĂ©e’s past is not what is on trial here.

What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus
to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial.
So, does it wash away sin or not?' 


The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past
and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters.

Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel
of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely
then it cannot cleanse us completely.

If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble.

What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of case!!!!

'Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee
he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.'

(Psalm 55:23)
 

This Prayer is powerful and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards, let's continue to pray for one another.

Here is the Prayer:

“Father, I ask you to bless my friends, relatives
and every person reading this right now.
Show them a new revelation of your love and power.

Holy Spirit, I ask you to minister to their spirit at this very moment.
Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy.
Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace.
In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen and Amen.”
