THE PHENOMENON WITHIN, Part 3

                Scientists have discovered what they call "Black Holes" out in our universe. These vast holes end at a point of no energy, no time, no space, and no objects. At this point they cannot be explained, discussed, or understood by science. Scientists have labeled them the realm of Infinite Possibility, and Immeasurable Potential. They cannot explain this realm, but realize it is here real power has its origin.   They also call it, "the realm of the unknown, doing what we don't know what." This is the invisible realm Jesus Christ came to reveal!

                He demonstrated that as we tap into this realm we become CO-creator with God! Let's go back and see some of the profound things Christ taught enabling us to unveil and tap into this realm ourselves.

                In Luke 17:20 the Pharisees were demanding of Jesus when the Kingdom would come. Their understanding of the Kingdom was very limited. They still expected a physical Kingdom ruled by the minds of mere men. Jesus Christ came to unveil a dimension much greater than could be seen with physical eyes! His response was...'it won't come with observation.' It can't be seen by limited senses. He went on to say that it also had no physical location, was not in their past, or in their future, but at that very moment was within them just waiting to be recognized!

                So the question remains for us today, how do we tap into the phenomenon, called the Kingdom of Heaven within us? What does that realm consist of? What can we expect once we tap into it?

                In Matthew 16, we are all familiar with the scriptures where Jesus Christ asked Peter, "Whom do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" After Peter's first response He goes on to ask him, "But whom say ye that I am?" Peter's answer came from an unseen realm, of the abiding place of the Father within him. He answered, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." The name "Christ" in Greek means "anointed" When we go to the root of this word it means "particle of union" revealing to us that the meaning of "Christ" is pointing us that Jesus Christ was a particle of union of ONE! He later tells us that as he is on the earth so are we. This means we too, the Christ within us is, has been and always will be, a particle of the One!

                Peter received this revelation not from physical senses, or intellect, but from the Father within his heaven.   Heaven being the abiding place of God within him! The Christ within us is, and always has been, a particle of union with the One true God. It is when we reconnect to the inner voice of the Christ that we begin to hear from heaven.

                In Verse 18, another very interesting fact is seen. Christ says, "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it." Peter is from the Greek word "Petros" meaning rock and is masculine. The word for "rock" used when saying, "upon this rock" is "Petra" and is feminine. Upon the knowledge of the male/female, a complete image of the Oneness of God in Genesis 1:27, His church will be built!

                I believe the word "church" has been greatly misunderstood and misused. It has brought a concept of separation instead of Oneness. The word "church" in Greek is, "ekklesia," meaning "a calling out, or called forth." We have always heard that the church is composed of people "called out" from the world into a religious system. I see a much more inclusive meaning! The "ek" is the root of this word and means, "denoting origin (the point where motion or action proceeds) from out of (place, time, or cause)." The "calling out, or calling forth" took place long before a religious system was in place. It began in Genesis when God said "Let there be Light" and all of humanity came forth from a realm beyond time and space. They were called forth from the infinite realm of God, where the origin of all motion and actions began. It was the "calling forth" of all mankind out of God. The true meaning of "church" includes all people who have incarnated into this realm, no matter religious belief!

                Jesus Christ was revealing the physical realm (flesh & blood) could never reveal this to Peter, but the unseen realm of heaven (the Kingdom of Heaven) within is what would bring real revelation! The gates (openings) of hell could not prevail against this revelation. Once you know your origin is God, your mind will not allow openings from hell (unseen of Hades, state or place of departed souls.) Root meaning, "to see, know, be aware, and perceive." A picture of the soulish realm, departed or separated from its true origin of Spirit. The illusion of separation, punishment and sorrow (hellish realm) will not prevail against the truth of Oneness with God which is all good.

                From these scriptures we see it is the inner voice of Christ which brings us into the dimension of Kingdom reality! When we get still enough and listen, the inner Christ speaks and we then hear and obey. Our lives are guided and directed by the unseen realm of the Kingdom of Heaven.   This is when the material sense of the carnal mind dissolves. It is from this power transformation is realized.

                Christ said, as I hear the Father speak I obey, I move, and I follow. He did not move and live by the dictates of this world, but by the invisible realm of Spirit. He knew He didn't live in the world, but the real world lived in Him!

                 When we awaken to the realization we all came out from God, the openings (thoughts, beliefs, and judgments) in our mind, from a point of the soulish realm of hell, can no longer prevail against us! Here is where we enter the Kingdom of Heaven. We begin to live from the inner voice of the Christ no matter what the physical world is dictating! Here is the dimension of infinite potential where we know nothing is impossible for the God within us! We become CO-creators with God. We see all possibilities and potential for mankind. We see all men after the
Spirit and no longer by the flesh. We are now able to step out into the unseen, knowing we are safe and headed for the invisible, limitless potential we were created for!

                Are you ready to take a quantum leap into the phenomenon within you? Do you think you are ready to leave what you have thought of as your reality and enter eternity now? Can you pry yourself loose from your comfort zone and risk it all? If you can, get ready for the great tipping point all humanity has been waiting for!

                Ready........ Set...............Gooooo!
