I wrote the first series of reverse aging from my point of view (POV), in 2010 at the ripe old age of 77.
It will help you gain perspective into what I was thinking at the time and a perfect backdrop for the for all that follows in this particular segment.
http://spiritualhealingsource.com/?p=1242 be sure to return here for today’s POV.
The 3rd catalyst came as a result of an intense study of everything Jesus was quoted as having said about getting and using the same “God-faith” or “faith of God” he had and used AND with which to do the same things he did and say the same things he said BECAUSE IT WASN’T HIM SAYING THEM! And which would produce the same seemingly “super-natural” things he did BECAUSE IT WASN’T HIM DOING THEM! It was I AM that, I AM speaking and doing in and through him, and Which/Who was a continuous and integral part of his life, death and resurrection and this IS the “God-faith” which is available to anyone who believes it is possible.
These quotes were made by the writers of the four Gospels, The Acts, The Revelation and the three letters of John in the New Testament …and were printed in red in the so-called red letter editions.
This study resulted in an ever-growing deep desire to have this “God-faith” and the 3rd catalyst was going back to was going back to asking my friend who had taken over my life, what to do and discovering that same peace I had felt, 9 years before, and a voice of guidance, but not quite understanding it yet fully.
I would have to go through a bit of trauma first, because I hadn’t yet learned the cause of the conflict and dulling my ability to clearly hear that voice was the religion I had chosen that I thought my friend had started.
The words I heard, when I asked my friend, were, “come out of her.”
My immediate response was, “What the hell does that mean?” I felt, rather than heard the reply, was that I would find out exactly what it meant by an intense study of everything Jesus was quoted as saying, but bringing each and every quote to him, alive and well within me, for verification that, one, that’s what he actually said and, two, whether it was applicable for today, specifically for me and if so, how I should apply it.
This finally brought me to the place of becoming obsessed with sharing what he was showing me and that brought me to a decision to entering a formal academic program that would lead to being “ordained” by men so that I had the credentials that would make the things, I was learning more acceptable to those also caught in the system.
Let’s help those of you who already believe that heaven is a real place, the place where God (by whatever other title or name) has HER/HIS/ITS [Jesus clearly indicated that God is without gender …a SPIRIT to be worshipped in spirit and in truth, but has a perfect parent Daddy/Mommy element and, therefore, the reference to “He,” “She” and “It” is not out of line here] and, those whom also already believe that the Bible can be one resource for truth, can perhaps expand your view to include something written in it.
Read the following aloud and hear, really hear, it: The above referenced passage clearly reveals that there is a kind of “faith” that is not only available, but that without which there is no pleasing God. This “faith” is a never ending, close personal relationship with God, by whatever other title or name, beginning this moment and never ending …and further, avoids physical death altogether! I didn’t say it, the writer of the New Testament book, Hebrews, said it and it is quite clear that is what is being said, even in a rather poor English translation.
There you have it; the entrance to this “Garden of Eden” existence called “eternal life,” that is, right now, this moment, is being rejoined with your perfect SPIRIT-PARENT and it means having constant fellowship with HER/HIM/IT and, again, beginning right NOW!
As with any relationship, it has to have a beginning.
One way this relationship can be initiated by us is by calling out to our SPIRIT-PARENT right now, and saying “help, I want this kind of “faith” and to keep calling out until we get past the barriers in our own minds to receiving it, because it already exists and it is simply religious, or anti-religious (two sides of the same coin) conditioning that gets in the way of receiving it …a perfect departure back to discussing my friend’s prayer to be taken home …and, for that matter, all “prayer.”
You see, my new friend, Bob, trusts our “heavenly” Daddy, but it is the other “father” the “father of lies” who would have liked to have sent him “home” via death …because Jesus said that is this, “father of lies,” small “g” god’s primary purpose, that is, to kill these body bags we occupy.
Bob received healing which is part of the over-all purpose of our SPIRIT-PARENT …so that even if Bob’s prayer was amiss, our Dad stepped in.
What now? Join me in Part Four and let’s get younger together!
In Freedom,
Brad
