“For the LORD’S…

“For the LORD’S portion is His people; Jacob is the place of His inheritance.” ~Deuteronomy 32:9

The more one loves God

The more one loves God, the more it is that having nothing in the world means everything, and the less one loves God, the more it is that having everything in the world means nothing.

The Three Branches of God

GOD [Holy Spirit]

The LAW                                                                                                                                                                                                                         JESUS

The three branches of God is not unlike our system of government:  the executive branch (president), the legislative branch (the law), and the judicial branch (making sure the law does not abuse its power).  When we falsely think of the trinity as God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit we miss a crucial part of the system–the real trinity–which is God’s Holy Spirit [or rhema the Living Word of God], the Law from the Prophets, and Jesus’ message of God’s Love and grace.

Currently, it is popular in modern Christianity to ignore the Law, which makes it impossible to be obedient to God.  It takes more than the New Testament, Jesus, or the concept of the three-in-one trinity to keep us in God’s good graces.  It takes obedience, love, and faith.  Obedience comes in the Law of God, laid out in the Old Testament Torah, and to a lesser degree, the major Prophets.  Jesus brings us the love [and with it, grace] of God and enables us to see the forest, not just the trees.  And faith comes from knowing our God, and having His Holy Spirit move through us.  All these are necessary for Truth!  We cannot find God’s Truth by simply having one or even two facets of this, which is what we have when we adhere to the false concept of the traditional trinity as laid out by the Council of Nicaea.

The very reason the US government is set up like this is to keep the branches in balance.  Law without Love is what we had with the Pharisees and Sadducees.  The Holy Spirit without the Law or Jesus can leave us seeking God, yet sinful.  And Jesus’ Love without the Law can lead us into a false sense of security, and to act out of false doctrines.

We need all three facets of God’s Truth to be holy and pure.

Give us this day our daily Bread~

Man has combined flour and water for millenia to produce various types of bread, which differ according to geographic location.  I thought it would be interesting to go around the world to explore this simple food.  Bon Appetit!

The Image of God

The Image of God

“God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”  ~Genesis 1:27

God revealed to me recently that His image is like a cell.  The ‘nucleus’ of the cell is where the brightest light and purest essence resides, made up of perfect loving energy inherent with all the qualities we attribute to God.

As we die to our earthly bodies and return to Him, our life force ends up somewhere in this cellular body, and where we land has something to do with being called by Him, and the intent of our actions while here.  The sons and daughters of God might end up in the nucleus whilst common man might end up on the darker and farther reaches, more distant from his throbbing warmth; and everyone else falls somewhere in between.

It occurred to me after this revelation that our entire bodies are made up of cells!  So in this way we ARE made in God’s image.  It isn’t that God has a head and feet and hair, it’s that the building blocks of life remain the same between God and us, and all living things.  And that is the simple cell.  The unit of life.  All life contains carbon as well, and we know that carbon molecules, along with iron and other fundamental metals that exist here on earth also exist in space; and are probably a part of God’s image (makeup) too, a gift from Him to us.  Another interesting thought is that the DNA or RNA that exists within our cells and makes us us, might also come directly from God.  And it might indeed be encoded with memory, or controlled by God in real-time in some way.  Kind of like an invisible lifeline from our Creator to us.

Kind of ominous, isn’t it, to think of God being invisibly in control of our very bodies and minds, of our cells.

In this context, solar systems would be living things as well, because they exhibit cellular qualities, with a central ‘nucleus’ sun, and bodies that are contained near that sun, and are a system (solar) unto themselves.  This is because God, at any time, has chosen where and when to create life, as He deems, and at His will.

What is nearly impossible for us as humans to grasp is that God’s image and His essence are one and the same.  We are used to separating the physical and the spiritual, but in God’s Realm, there is complete and perfect uniformity and intent.

Why did he create us?  Ahh….that is the subject for another post….;)

God is X’s and O’s

File:Baglione.jpg

Woke up around 0500 and had some insights from God.  I will share one with you now.  God’s Realm makes up the dark matter/dark energy of the universe.  Except

Where heaven is, it’s light, not dark; and where we are, it’s dark, not light.

Something happens in the universe which ‘crosses over’ at a certain point in space-time.  I had no idea what until I did a brief search about it.

At the ‘event horizon’ way out in outer space (I think around 16 billion light years away) there is a place that beyond which we cannot see anything anymore and everything essentially becomes invisible to us:

“However, because of the accelerating expansion, it is projected that most galaxies will eventually cross a type of cosmological event horizon where any light they emit past that point will never be able to reach us at any time in the infinite future…As galaxies approach the point of crossing this cosmological event horizon, the light from them will become more and more redshifted, to the point where the wavelength becomes too large to detect in practice and the galaxies appear to disappear completely… One suggests that phantom energy causes divergent expansion, which would imply that the effective force of dark energy continues growing until it dominates all other forces in the universe. Under this scenario, dark energy would ultimately tear apart all gravitationally bound structures, including galaxies and solar systems, and eventually overcome the electrical and nuclear forces to tear apart atoms themselves, ending the universe in a “Big Rip“. On the other hand, dark energy might dissipate with time or even become attractive. Such uncertainties leave open the possibility that gravity might yet rule the day and lead to a universe that contracts in on itself in a “Big Crunch“. Some scenarios, such as the cyclic model, suggest this could be the case.  It is also possible the universe may never have an end and continue in its present state forever (see The second law as a law of disorder).”  -Wiki on ‘Dark Energy’.

It is also interesting to note that currently dark matter accounts for 26.8%, and dark energy accounts for 68.3% of the force of the universe, making a total of the ‘dark force’ of the universe a whopping 95.1%.  Whereas 13.7 billion years ago, we only had 63% dark matter.  As dark matter decreases, dark energy increases.  Dark energy’s nature, unlike dark matter, is constant and never evolves, but is unchanging.

I induce from this that on our current course, Endtimes are coming.  But there also seems to be the possibility, according to science, that God could effect whatever end He wants on us, and even reverse the Endtimes, as described at the end of the preceding quote.

I already proved that God’s Realm makes a circle O, as related in the code and prose of the Bible.  But it also appears that the cross X is also a very real sign of His work and way, as related to Jesus’ crucifixion, the physical workings of man (as in how the brain and body cross over), and our universe.

I believe God is saying our actions matter.  🙂

God’s Medicine: Essential Oil

Originally posted on October 12,2013

After His Son Jesus Christ, essential oils are some of the most sacred gifts of God. And God makes this obvious to us in His Word but also in the ancient rituals of His Chosen People.

Myrrh and frankincense are the most treasured oils, but over 33 are mentioned in the Bible. Myrrh and frankincense are oleoresins which means they are the gum/sap that bleeds from a tree; they are the blood of the tree, extending from its root, to the tip of its branches.

Life lives in the blood of animals and plants, and is obviously treasured by God.

Myrrh is a thorny tree that has numerous curative properties; you could basically say it is a cure-all, as it not only lowers blood sugar, but kills cancer. It smells like cedar, and breathing it in reminds one of their grandparents’ home–it is an old, nostalgic scent which undoubtedly awakens some primal memories in our DNA.

It looks like it might have been the crown of thorns placed upon Christ’s head on the cross of his crucifixion, doesn’t it. Hopefully it caused a sedative effect for him, as it is also a mild analgesic. Myrrh is the first ingredient listed in making the holy anointing oil for the tabernacle. Only Priests were considered holy enough to use this blessed oil, and it could only be applied to Priests and sacred objects coming into contact with God in His sanctuary and tabernacle. It is a sin to use the holy anointing oil on anything or anyone else, though Myrrh itself was used by most people in ancient times.

Frankincense is a beautiful resin (blood of the tree) and is the favored scent of pharaohs and kings, including Cleopatra, and has many of the same properties and healing powers of Myrrh. While not called to be used in the holy anointing oil, it is one of the ingredients in God’s incense, to be burned in the most holy place in front of the mercy seat of the ark of the Covenant. Frankincense is also placed on each of the twelve loaves of showbread in the sanctuary before the LORD, and is to be given with all grain offerings except sin offerings, when it is expressly forbidden. It smells deeply satisfying to most people, as if your soul needs it, and cannot get enough of it.

In the body of all plants, God gives us specialized, living medicine. It is medicine that causes healing without harming. It is also perfume that keeps us at an optimal state of health, proving that holistic medicine which combines all our senses and energies is God’s way. Perhaps it was the extended use of essential oils that made people in biblical times live so long. Why would we want to soak ourselves in dead synthetic chemicals when everything we need exists right before us, calling to our cellular memory, and God within us.
