The greatest and most transformative transition in today’s changing world is within us, the people of God.

This inner transition affects every facet of our lives and lifts us from limited human living to an unlimited, abundant Spirit-life reality.

Recent past generations have sought supernatural miracles apart from our natural day-to-day lives.

We may have studied the Bible in great detail, seeking faith for miracle healings, to win souls, or to do some mighty work for God, with some highly successful results.

However, something is yet missing, and we may feel there must be more.

The now-greatest transition is solving the missing connection to the fullness of oneness with God.

The mystery involves the reality of HEARING and SEEING what God is saying and doing.  Many don’t know whether they’re hearing God or imagining something from their minds.

• How do I hear God?
• How do I know His Voice?
• What about seeing Visions?
• Should every believer be able to hear God, or is that just for the specially gifted?
• Do I really need to hear God, or is it enough for me to study the written word and listen to what others say about God?

These questions are prerequisites for a natural mind to gain a basic understanding of God, receive Christ Jesus into the heart, and awaken our spirits to be filled with the Spirit of God.

However, to come into personal communion with God, only our redeemed Spirit is in charge.

Our minds cannot do the work of becoming one with God and communing in pure holy love with our Father in Christ by Holy Spirit.

All of the above questions and more are mind-based.  They are the desperate cry of the human soul trying to be Spiritual.

They are natural questions that make perfect sense to our analytical, natural minds, but do not take us to Spirit life of communing with God.

Our Spirit, saturated in Spirit Christ, connects us to the flow of life with Spirit God.

Being filled with the Holy Spirit or Spirit-filled, really means a life saturated with Spirit Christ and Spirit God, which is the Holy Spirit.

Flowing in Spirit God

The details of the following will vary, but the basic Spirit reality will be the same for everyone. No two people are the same, and God meets us where we are and according to who we are.

It is our nature to first turn to our knowledge and understanding to solve any situation.

Therefore, the first thing to flowing in Spirit God is to quiet our minds and get into or activate our much deeper, quieter spirit.

“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”   John 4:24.

We come into communion with Him in the spirit of thanksgiving, praise, and worship.

“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise.  Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.”   Psalm 100:4.

If our spirits are filled with need and lack from our natural mind’s negative view, we may cry out to God and receive help and mercy in a critical or desperate situation.

However, the communion of oneness with the flow of God in our lives will not be attained until we enter His gates in the Spirit of thanksgiving, and His courts with praise, and His presence with loving worship.

Spirit to Spirit, our heart flows into one with God, and love consumes us in the perfect peace of holy communion in God and God in us.  We no longer have any need or want, and we lack nothing.

In this peace and quietness, thoughts flowing from God land upon our quietened minds. Ideas and pictures of things to know and do that solve the past and lead into new actions to create a heavenly flow of life into our hearts.

The thoughts, ideas and pictures that land in our quiet, God-focused minds are what we often call “seeing and hearing from God”.

This flow of thoughts landing in our minds can continue as we go about our daily lives.

Guidance or direction in every situation is available as we continue to flow with God in every area of our lives.

We are no longer trying to discern all things with only our knowledge and intellect, without the heart’s/Spirit’s influence of God at all times.

This does not mean that we stop and pray about every simple decision of the day.

It means that the flow from God in our hearts provides guidance by our Spirit as we go moment by moment. It seems like we feel God’s leadership, and we just know in our Spirit-knower.

Remaining in the Flow of God

Walking in the communion flow with God is a decision of our soul and spirit to literally “walk in the Spirit”.

This does not mean reading the Bible through again, praying longer, or engaging in any other religious rituals or soulish striving. It does mean returning to a quiet place and time to commune with God.

Unless we realize that communing in love with God is our only source of continuous well-being and good life, we will not make the decision to STOP seeking other sources or other gods for our life.

We will continue to try to find the “flow of God” in and amongst all the other gods of our lives.

Our other gods are the things we use to replace God in making our lives complete and fulfilled.

We love them and are not okay without them.

We sacrifice our time to enjoy them and do whatever is required to serve them.

Many, if not most, of our other gods are good things in their place.  They are good provisions from God that we allow to consume our lives, replacing the time and life we should spend communing with God.

They have become gods to us when they consume time and space, replacing our time and experience with God.

Some popular gods in the Western world are: Sports, Entertainment, Family, Television Programs, Social Media, Games, Online and Video, Social Clubs, Gymnasium, Romance or Sex, religious activities, alcohol, Medications or Drugs, Food and Overeating, Diet and Supplements, Overworking, Family and more…..

Yes, most of these things are good for us in their proper place and used properly as provided by Spirit God.

However, any of them can become our little gods when they are overused and replace the time and need for love and communion with God in our lives.

As an example, consider sports. It is obvious that much of the Western world has replaced God with their god of sports as either spectators or participants.

Masses are spending a great deal of time and thousands of dollars to attend ball games.  At least hundreds of millions, and probably billions, of dollars are spent on ball games, and lives are significantly affected by their outcomes.

When we truly commune in love with God, our lives are filled with love and purpose, and we no longer need our other little gods.

We are lovingly led to desire only what God desires for us.

All areas of life, family, work, wellness, along with peace, joy, and anything else our hearts desire in life, are all there for us in His love and purpose for us.

Our heart’s desire is communion with Spirit God first and only that which He desires for us. In other words, God’s desire has become our desire.

The One Real “Game/War”

All sports and competitive games are replicas of the one real war in this world.

All competitive games and all real wars between tribes, nations and all other groups of warring mankind are either a part of the one real war or a replica or facsimile of it.

The one real war is in the spiritual realm and greatly affects the natural realm.

The ultimate battle is for the created world and all on it, in it, or around it.

God created the world as a manifestation of His glory.  He created mankind as Spiritual sons in earthly bodies to have dominion over the world to tend and keep it.

Lucifer, a powerful fallen angel, also known as Satan, with His army of fallen angels and demons, are committed to destroying God’s creation of earth and mankind.

Christ Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, came to earth as a man and through the cross and resurrection defeated Satan and all His armies of darkness.

The war now is for the hearts and minds of mankind.  Redeemed mankind has the authority to do away with Satan and all powers of darkness from this world.  The only power that Satan has is that given over to him by mankind.

Redeemed mankind with Spirit God in Christ Jesus by The Holy Spirit abiding in his heart has all the power of God to stop the work of Satan and all his darkness on earth.

God in Christ is manifesting on earth to remove the deception and distractions of false games and wars of every sort and fill His people with His love, power and wisdom to annihilate the works of darkness from this world.

This is done one heart at a time as God’s people come to Him with their whole hearts to commune in pure love and join the powers of heaven to cleanse the earth of all darkness and fill it with the love and glory of heaven on earth.

“Make a joyful shout to The LORD, all you lands!  Serve The LORD with gladness; come before His presence with singing.
Know that The LORD, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise.  Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.  For The LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.”   Psalm 100.

The Marriage of the Lamb

Marriage is a total connection of oneness.  Courting is the process of becoming one.

The great transition of today is God in Christ becoming one with His Bride.

The Marriage of The Lamb is replacing the thousands of years of Courting.

“And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.  And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.’
Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful.’”…….
……. Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, ‘Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.’  And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.”   Revelation 21: 3-5,9-10.

 

Be made whole in His love,
