Our blog articles uncover the pattern for guaranteed success found in scripture. Read the posts below and begin living the successful life you were created for.
Bridging the Gap, Part 3
Is it possible to live our lives based more in Heaven’s realm more than in the earth realm? Some have called the experience bi-locational. It is abundantly clear that our priority in everything that we are and in all that we do is to be in the pursuit of Heaven’s realm. Our Constitution is clear.
Bridging the Gap, Part Two
Seeking His Kingdom and His way of doing and being right/correct is how we pursue our purpose and our eternity and our eternalness. This is what we are designed to do, and what we are told is to be the most important passion for us on our time journey. I believe this is how we learn to bridge the gap and to pierce the veil between the earth realm and heaven’s realm.
Bridging the Gap
How do we bridge the gap and pierce the veil between the earth realm and heaven’s realm? The gap is very narrow and the veil is very thin. The death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth demonstrates just how thin the veil is and how narrow the gap is.
Our Handbook for Life
How do we determine what is right and what is good for us? What do we use as our handbook and our standard for our conduct and behavior in our lives during our time journey? What are the values, the principles that and the established precedents we use to govern ourselves? The scriptures are our Constitution for our governance.
The Mind is a Battlefield
The mind is the true battleground. It's where we determine who will gain the authority and power to rule our lives in time. The mind is where the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness go to do battle for control of the souls/minds of humanity.
The Transformed Mind
When we experience the new birth, our spirit is changed instantly and our relationship and fellowship with our Creator God -- once severed and inoperable -- is restored and is fully engageable immediately. However, allowing our mind to be reprogrammed and to think differently is a process. We are in charge of that process.
Operate In Eternity
Having an eternal perspective as our foundation, maintaining it as our operating platform, and making it our operational reality for life does not just happen.
Not Overcome
Last week we discussed the reality that sometimes in our time journey, we are overwhelmed by the tough situations and circumstances of our lives. Why do these overwhelming circumstances not completely overcome us? Scripture answers this question in 2 Corinthians 4:18. How do we maintain victory in the storm that rages around us? We focus on eternity, eternality, and on our personal eternalness.
The Unseen Realm is Eternal
Our challenging and overwhelming circumstances, situations, and relational experiences are temporary. They are the substance (the physical matter) that produce or create in us an eternal, weighty glory, and provide an outcome/experience that is far beyond all comparison when viewed from the temporary vantage point of time.
The Spirit Gives Life
The body does not give our spirit life, it is our spirit that gives our body life. In some ways, our body could be considered a disposable product. It is not designed or meant to last forever. Scripture says it wears out and becomes frail and increasingly challenging as we age. But our spirit grows stronger and stronger as our body ages.
Before I Formed You
The Holy Spirit God through Jeremiah said this about the different stages of our eternity. He provides a picture of how the different stages/components of our eternity (before here, here and now, and forever hereafter) impact our purpose, and our charge on the earth in and through the different stage of our eternity and our personal eternalness forever.
Complete Eternity
Understanding each component of eternality, and its purpose and influence on our complete eternity, and on our personal eternalness, will make our journey more understandable, more enjoyable, and we can address and navigate each component more effectively and more accurately.
