When
we are living
in-Spirit, our lives are meant to be a daily unfolding of the
miraculous! We're meant to influence events and influence our
environment for the good. Our thoughts break their bonds and
our mind transcends all limitation. We begin to enter a world
of "all possibilities!" The dormant gifts within us come
alive and we discover we are here to live and release the same energy
Jesus Christ demonstrated.
There is a quote I want to share that says so beautifully what is going within each of us. It is by Goethe written in Faust. Paul also spoke of this same separation happening within himself in Romans 7.
"Alas, two souls are living in my breast
And one wants to separate itself from the other
One holds fast to the world with earthly passion
And clings with twining tendrils:
The other lifts itself with forceful craving
To the very roof of heaven"
This is the quest of the Spirit within. It longs to lift us above the things which seem so real in the world, to a place of pure bliss. A place we live solely from the higher consciousness of Spirit. This supernatural existence is possible! It is the calling of our lives and the purpose for our incarnation.
To live in-Spirit will take a willingness to step out of the box. Many step out of one box, only to step into another. Anything that separates mankind from God, or each other, has some type of walls. Until all the walls of separation come down, we cannot fully ascend to the "very roof of heaven."
Jesus Christ came as an example of a life lived in-Spirit. He went from a young boy asking and answering questions in the Temple, to becoming a manifestation of Spirit wherever He went.
This scripture in the Old Testament points us to the power of living connected to Spirit.
Isaiah 65:24 "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while the are yet speaking, I will hear."
This powerful quote speaks of a place where no time exists between thought and manifest. It also point us to the miraculous dynamics available as we begin living in-Spirit.
It says even before we call, or release the energy of the spoken word, the answer will manifest from our thoughts. Jesus Christ thought "bread and fish," and immediately it manifested. He thought health, and that became the reality. When he called Lazarus from the tomb, he only release the spoken words, "Lazarus come forth" for the benefit of those around Him. His true communion with Spirit was already complete within His consciousness. The energy of just thought, would have resulted in the same power over death. We have understood the power of the spoken word, but we are just coming to understand the far reaching influence of our thoughts.
Each of our thoughts has an energy and determines if we are living at an inspired level. Before we incarnated into time and space, our mind and the mind of God were one. This means we did not have the bonds of ego (Edging God Out) or carnal mind. As we ascend again into harmony with the mind of God, we enter the realm of no limitation and we know, "With God nothing is impossible." We no longer have thoughts that put limits on what we can accomplish. Our thoughts ascend the low energy of, I can't, it will never happen for me, not in a world like this, I don't have the education to do this, and so on. They begin to soar to the place of ALL Possibility...the place of living in-Spirit!
The scriptures puts it this way, "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." II Cor.10:5
Soar with me in the reality of oneness...........
