2choosey4you's blog: "For The Lost"

Preface

It was, it is, and it always will be. What is it?
You may have a very good idea as to what IT is, however. Your understanding,
acceptance and conviction as to its importance to you may be quite uncertain,
that is, if you have any of that at all.

There is a reason for your current condition of
uncertainty, and it has nothing to do with the choices you have made in life.
The influence that has dominated your attention for all of your life has
everything to do with your current condition of uncertainty. And it is still
hard at work today.

I know that you think you know a lot about yourself,
your life, your universe and the world you live in. But what you don’t know is
far more than that which you think you know.

Your eyes and all of your other senses have done a
remarkable job of deceiving you. I know that the influence that has been
directing you is saying: “That’s impossible!” That influence wants nothing less
than your total trust and acceptance. And it relies on your senses to give you
the information it wants you to trust. There is a reason for that, and I’ll
reveal it to you shortly.

It is written; (2^nd Corinthians 4:18)
“…For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not
seen are eternal.”

The dominate influence that mankind gets here in the
realm of darkness where our universe lies is a dark influence by nature. This
influence is not well known as it is truly because it demands to be regarded
and accepted as the truth. When in fact, and in truth, there is no truth in it.

The influence that holds and controls mankind today
has held mankind since Adam and Eve were set out of the Garden of Eden. That
influence has a name; it is called the principalities of darkness. It is in the
air within, around and all above the planet we live on. There are no signs or
banners that identify it as such, because it works in deception. As its leader
is the prince of all deception himself.

Now the most basic mystery that the p.o.d. has
successfully kept out of sight to all of mankind for generations upon
generations is slowly being revealed to the minds of some people. It is
difficult for them to grasp due to its scope and glorious nature. This
revelation is coming into mind and it is clearly providing a glimpse of what is
now totally unseen.

All of the knowledge that man has been able to pass
along from generation to generation has had its influence from the p.o.d. And
all of this knowledge has served the purposes of the p.o.d.

But mankind is not limited to the information
gathered by the senses. Man has a mind and man has imagination. Einstein said:
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

Seeing is not done only by the eyes. Seeing is also
done by the mind. Life is indeed much simpler than our senses can make of it.
If we limit ourselves to only the information provided by our senses, we aid
the p.o.d. by restricting ourselves to evidence that is only temporary.

In my story; The Sky Over Mercy Moon, there are no
limits as to where I can go, there are no fact finding requirements to be met.
Everything is done and accepted by faith, and seen through conviction in the
truth of Jesus Christ as Son of the only Living God. Willingly giving yourself
to this is the only way to receive what is has to offer. Not doing so, leaves
you at the mercy of the p.o.d., which has none to offer.

In the beginning, yes that one. The Word was given to us even before we were made flesh. Therefore, it is imperative to our primary perspective to begin at our origin, in order to see that our most basic need is not met by concepts and ideas offered in the shadow of darkness.

The Word was placed into all of God’s creation, and only the Word is truth. That is why it is written: “…Let US make man in OUR image.” (Genesis 1:26) Before we were formed from the dust of this world, in the darkness of this universe, we had His Word placed into our yet to be delivered minds. The very first knowledge that we, His beloved creation received, was from Him about all that was the truth. This foundation of knowledge belonged to us before we received a mortal body or took a single breath. We had at that time, a close spiritual relationship with Him. We had no knowledge of the world or what was in it.

The act of being born into the world was our choice, it allowed us to demonstrate our willingness to endure the unknown and to develop and exercise the faith that God gives all of His children. We all jumped at the honor, adventure and privilege. As spirit, we knew our home and our place was secure for us as we entered into our term of life in the flesh. We were also warned; to beware of the enemy of man. We heard the warning, but we had no idea just how prepared we needed to be. As babies coming from the womb, we could not see that we were born into sinful flesh. And that the world that we were born into was in the center of the shadow of darkness. And that the enemy was unseen and all around us.

Throughout all of the generations of mankind the question “why” is the most often asked; the answer that is sought cannot be found in the world or anywhere in the realm of darkness. That answer was given to us before we came here, but we have forgotten our first knowledge. But that is not the real issue here; the real issue is how do we turn the darkness off?

Many want to know why there is darkness; that information is more than our blindness will allow us to accept. The basic knowledge we need is in His written Word. But many read the Bible without having the conviction of the Holy Spirit, and without that, they cannot understand what they are reading. They allow the influences of the principalities of darkness to cloud and blind them to the truth, and they become further disconnected and burdened by their lack of surrender to the Word that was given to them. The result is a condition of blindness that burdens the soul. As the flesh plays a feast dance with sins from every direction, the eyes of the heart weep daily from the longing to return home.

Chapter One: Turn Off The Darkness 

My story is not unlike any other brutality honest confession of selfish addiction. Decades of my pursuit for sensual satisfaction to fill an empty void within my soul resulted only in my heavy burden of guilt and shame that convinced me that I was worth less alive than dead. So I gave up and asked God to take my sinful flesh and my worthless soul and punish me with what I deserved. That was several years ago, and I am still here. His response was easy to accept but difficult to understand. I did not deserve what He did for me. I had learned about Jesus as a child, but I am an orphan, and my relationship with God has always been bad. And as I grew into an adult, I purposefully made it worse. I thought that God took my parents to punish me for being a lustful child. So I became a lustful adult. Decades later, after having been down every dark and lustful road I could find, and not feeling anything good about myself or what I had done. I became completely fed up with all of life, and just wanted it all to stop.

Kneeling and weeping I begged God to end the madness of my sinful life, and allow me the rest from this world that the dead have. His response was simply “No.” To which I asked; why? He told me that He had a purpose for me, and that He would send a Helper to guide me along the Way.  For several years now I’ve been going through a gradual change, not an easy thing to do. But I have not had to do it alone.

My Helper is the Holy Spirit. Yes, His Holy Spirit. I have seen and understood more about Him than I have ever heard said, or read. I have become convicted in the truth about Him, Jesus and the Holy Spirit Himself. And the story that I have set forth here for you to read is about what I have already experienced.

This story does not require you to believe it, just to consider it. Because the mind is more powerful than most of us have the slightest idea. It is not about what you can think; it is more about what you can see enough of to believe with conviction.

In the quiet comfort of my bed, I was tired but at peace with a simply good day behind me. I closed my eyes and it seemed as if I slipped quickly and gently into a deep state of unconscious awareness. It was not like a dream, because everything was easy to recognize. I was in my bedroom and everything was in its proper place. I was there, looking at myself sleep in my bed. That was the most unusual thing; I’ve never had such a dream where I could see myself.

But that was just the beginning of really unusual things. My bedroom began to blur as I saw a warm glow beginning to surround me. It was so comforting that I didn’t bother to even attempt to move, but I noticed that I was ascending. Right through the ceiling I went within this warm light. I was outside; I could see the street I live on. The lights, the buildings, the cars, everything was as it normally was. But it was all growing smaller and smaller. The community, the city, the area of the state, the state and suddenly the planet came into view. I was moving up quickly but without any form of pressure. I was not like floating; it was more like riding an elevator of light.

As the sun began to shrink out of view I saw the Milky Way coming into form. And just that quickly it became a small light among many other small lights. The whole sea of lights began to fade until I could not see any of them anymore. That is where I felt disconnected, never have I ever imagined being outside of the universe that I had called home all of my life.

In the complete darkness the warm comfortable glow around me became brighter; I could no longer see what was around me. Suddenly I felt still, as if I had stopped, the glow around me appeared to be fading, but outside of the glow, appeared to be lighter than the dense darkness that I had last seen. In that moment of silence, I heard a gentle voice begin to speak to me. “Beyond this point, lies your heavenly home, where your Father awaits your return. Not in flesh may you enter your home, but in the glorious form He will give to you.”

There are no words I can use here to describe what I felt hearing those words, unworthy was the only thought that I had. As the gentle glow took hold of me and brought me forth into the ever growing brilliance that surrounded me, I saw what my mind could not even imagine. The Light was everywhere, and the darkness was just a shadow. In the brilliance of His glorious holiness I died, literally. I no longer felt any desire to return to the flesh that was lying in my bed.

The gentle voice that spoke to me again gave me instruction; “As it has been given to you, freely give the perspective that you have of your home.” It was then that I realized that I was not there to stay, but charged with a glorious purpose; to deliver a vision that a race of His creation had forgotten. In a blink, I was back in my bed and the room was dark. I opened my eyes and quickly closed them to see if I could get another glimpse of what I had seen. It didn’t work. I lied there awake for many hours processing what I saw. Then I got up and tried to find anything like it on the Internet. Not finding anything even remotely close, I knew I had to do it myself. 

Turning the darkness off is not something that most of humanity wants. This is because the enemy of humanity has done very well to blind humanity of the truth, the value of holiness and the power of Jesus. Humanity still has one thing that the enemy cannot take, His love. With just a single moment of imagination, the consideration of His kingdom has the power to refresh all of the memories that have been buried by the enemy. “Seek ye first, the kingdom of God.”
