PERSONAL PROCESS
- Born Again
- See, perceive the Kingdom as my born again experience causes my spirit to be one with God’s spirit.
- IMPORTANT – 2 COR 5:20 PAUL TELLS US THAT WE, NOW, MUST COME INTO HARMONY WITH GOD.
- We have assumed that when God reconciled Himself to us that we were reconciled to Him.
- It is a deliberate act on our part, to return our commitment to God as He has already committed Himself to us. All that was done prior to the crucifixion has not been held against us. We have been given a brand new slate. Now it is up to us to receive the new slate by committing to, first of all learning what it means to come into harmony with God…and then our ministry of reconciliation includes showing others how to receive what God has done for all of the world.
- 2 Cor 5:18 – Everything has been made new (2 Cor 5:17) demonstrated by the fact that God has reconciled HIMSELF TO US…
- RECONCILIATION MEANS TO COME INTO HARMONY WITH…
- Two things take place during this marvelous time in our born again experience.
- We enter the Kingdom
- The Kingdom enters us or we receive.
- The Godhead is the Kingdom
- What must take place now, is the renewing of our minds (Rom 12:20 so we can learn how to live in the Kingdom and how the Kingdom can begin to flow through us (releasing the power of the Godhead through us) as we learn all about the Godhead.
- A continual development of the strengthening of our harmony with Father is imperative. Otherwise He will subtly be moved aside as we decide who and what He is.
- The Kingdom cannot be understood, accept from the inside of us. It is where the harmony of God has its greatest effect. The character of the Godhead becomes flesh.
- As this takes place, we recognize the Kingdom within us (~Luk 17:21~ Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

I had a dream on November 18, 2020 concerning brainwashing. The technique used in the dream was so simple. I saw an individual show three people three index cards, each card being white.
Each person was instructed to look at their card. When asked what color it was, they each correctly answered “white.” The person then began to tell each person that their cards were green, red and blue respectively. The people looked at their cards hard. When asked what color did they see, each responded “white.” This exercise went on for some time (cannot recall how long). At the end of the experiment, the person asked the people the color of their cards. Each person answered, green, red, and blue, even though the cards were still white.
The people were seeing what they were hearing. After continued input they believed whatever they heard as the truth.
This dream made me think about the ten spies and the promised land. When sent to the promised land, how did the ten spies come to the idea to see themselves as grasshoppers in their own sight? They did not suddenly see the giants and become afraid. The fear of the giants had been discussed previously in Deuteronomy 1:28 by their brothers who had discouraged them by telling them how big the Amorites were and there were sons of the Anakims living there, too.
There are two forms of media you must turn away from. The mainstream media is first. As a believer in Christ, how do you trust people who openly profess their dislike of the God we serve?
The second form of media you must turn off is the “latent power of your soul” which is influenced by your own desires without any knowledge or understanding of God’s purposes. These two forms of the media will tell you that anything you desire for your own pleasure is fine. You may have been brainwashed into thinking that God is okay with what makes you happy.

Are you willing to be a pioneer?
The blessings…the accolades only come after we have gone on to Glory.
While we are doing what God has given us to do, our lives, our methods, and even our motives will continue to be brought before the “Sanhedrin.”
There will be moments, from time to time, when the pioneers find themselves on a mountain top. The experience of having finally pleased the audience they serve will be short lived, for the mountain top experience is usually the road to the deep valley of despair; loneliness and incredible confusion. What happened? will be the question that follows many to their grave…and will follow every pioneer, generation after generation.
Yet, when all of the deeds; all of the pictures captured; all of the conversations remembered, the thread of a life bent to serve the Lord will be a golden thread. In the final analysis God takes all of the mess we make along with all of the misunderstandings and false judgments of man and receives us as broken bread and poured out wine for His Glory.
While Paul lived, many could only remember the murders; the arrogance and the unyielding will. We, who read his life and attempt to example our own after one who relentlessly followed Christ, will only remember the man who became a prisoner of Christ.
Each of us who march to the heartbeat of Christ are pioneers. Each of our lives is so unique and different… our road to travel reserved only for us. No one else can walk our walk nor can anyone else do the work God has ordained for you and me.
We will lose everything to gain all in Christ. We will become a controversy to all but Christ. It is in this controversy that the Heavens are open to us.
Accepting who God says you are is what opens the heavens.
