Within The 30-Minute Restoration

This morning, I awakened to another migraine at 5:39 a.m. (17 victory), and here it was 5 hours later (favour) to the minute, 10:39 a.m. (13 lawlessness), that it is still speaking loudly with thumps of pain. At 8:13 a.m. (12 perfection), my Josue’ informed me that the internet wasn’t working so I checked my account and sure enough the payment I made two weeks ago was never debited. So, I called Comcast at 9:07 a.m. (16 love) to pay the bill, again, and the recording said, “Your service will BE restored WITHIN 30 minutes (30 The Blood of Christ)!”

In that moment, the very blink of an eye, I understood that this was the appointed day and time for the LORD’s affirmation to my prayers. At 9:26 a.m. (17 victory), my Josue’ says, “Mom, it’s working now.” That was 19 minutes (faith) after I called them.

From a biblical perspective, numbers have meaning, For a very long time now, more than 10 years, I’ve paid attention to the hour of revelation (the time that the Holy Spirit revealed something or spoke divine to me). At those specific times mentioned in the writing, they all bear a sum total number: 5:39 = 17. 17 means victory. The Spirit and Truth has been speaking to me like this for a long time.  I never really understood the appointed hour and their significance until 2005 and have been listening to the LORD with sharpness every since.

The Holy Spirit even speaks to me in a different language in my dreams.  I’ve had to wake up and research to make sure I knew what I heard was a real word and what it meant.  I was also doing some verbal transcription and the recordings picked up two foreign languages in my dialect that I’ve never spoken or studied. I have to look up the words that came out of my mouth and OMGOSH, they were real words. This was my spirit self, my true self that was created in the beginning, in the image of US (Genesis 1:26) and in OUR likeness, speaking the languages of YAH. SELAH!

Within The 30-Minute Restoration: It’s Working NOW! What’s working now and how is it working?

Victory, divine perfection and authority, and pure divine love is all working for me and everything lawlessness (created by man and inspired by Satan) is overpowered by the redemption that I have through the blood of Christ shed. My faith worketh and fail me not because I don’t fail my faith. I AM has come to my household and all services (all things that are rightfully and duly mine) are restored!

So then, I thank You Father for this ‘Within 30-Minute Restoration’ on today.

How To Ask of The LORD

I was seeking an answer from the Spirit of Truth regarding how to ask of the LORD YAH my Father.  Normally, when I think of ask I think of questions, requests, and inquiries, etc.  Still, in all that I consciously know, I yearned for revelatory clarity on “how to do” these things called ask.

While I prayed for answers, my brain was gently wiggling as the scriptures were pouring in.  I recalled my meditation from a few days ago on John 15:1-8:7IF ye abide in me, AND my words abide in you, ye shall ASK what ye WILL, AND it shall BE done unto you.  8HEREIN is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye BE my disciples.”  While chanting these scriptures, it arises in me that bearing much fruit, in this contextual manner, is produced from:

  1. two-fold abiding,
  2. asking what I will, AND
  3. it being done.

What I will should BE the same as what the Vine’s will is IF we are two-fold abiding.  In contrast, I ultimately bear no fruit IF the two-fold abiding is not my structure.  Instead, I will BE withered and burned by men.  SELAH!

So then, Luke 11:10 rose up in me in that “For every one that ‘asketh’ receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it SHALL BE opened.”  In times past, I’d studied the Greek tense of the word ‘eth.’  Today, revisiting it and its power was necessary.  The archaic suffix ‘eth’ is a noun and it is added to the end of verb words to tell you about the behavior of that word.  SELAH!  This suffix signifies a behavior of continual action known as Greek ‘perfect tense,’ vs. an action without continuation (or one-time action) known as Greek ‘aorist tense.’

With this in the forefront of my mind, I understood that for every one that continual ask (asketh) they continual receive (receiveth).  SELAH!  

However, I was yet uncertain if I understood “how to do” these things called ask.  Luke 11:8 told me exactly how to.  Importunity!  Shameless persistence!  Of the sort, this word is synonym with ‘eth.’  Again, this signifies continual action.  This is how we should pray (ask) of the LORD, Our Father, Who art in heaven – with shameless persistence.  To BE an importunate person, we must boldly persist, despite difficulties, in order to boldly receive.  Some might confuse what I’m saying with vain repetitions, much speaking, as mentioned in Matthew 6:7.  That is not the same as continual action, shameless persistence.

In the same scripture, Luke 11:8, the parable reveals that the friend, who came asking, was an importunate person.  His importunity (his persistence, his demand for help) was fervent.  Thus, his friend, who had what he needed, WILL rise and give him as many (loaves of bread) as he needeth.  The friend asked for three loaves, but it can BE deduced that the one who was giving gave more than three loaves, i.e., he give as many as he needeth.  He gave ALL that was needed to fulfill, not to merely get by for a little while.  SELAH!

Now then, although this law of reciprocity called asketh, seeketh, and knocketh responds for every one that doeth these things, it does not imply that everyone is bearing fruit.  SELAH.  You are only bearing fruit when you are two-fold abiding AND asketh.  SELAH!

Finally my brethren, this is the confidence that I have of Him, the Son of God:  that IF I ask any thing according to His will, and I will ask accordingly, He heareth me.  And IF He heareth me, and He does, whatsoever I ask, I know that I have the petitions that I desired of Him.

The LORD is my desire, I shall not want.  SELAH!

Net Worth

While washing dishes, for some reason or another, dialogues and writings from others of the life coach discipline about being an asset came to my mind.

In years past up to now, there has been a crusade (regarding relationships) about what people bring to the table.  This means what value (appeal, merit, substance, wealth, etc.) they are bringing to the relationship.  Majority of what has been delivered to us has been fixated on needing to BE an asset in the relationship.  Well, everyone is part asset.  Thus, we don’t need to BE that alone.  Instead of focusing on being an asset, we should focus on bringing the resources AND the responsibilities to the relationship.  This will assist in accurately calculating how valuable WE are to each other.

What is OUR net worth in OUR relationship?

In this parable, there is a woman who portrays herself as a woman of moral integrity.  She works, she has her own home, she provides for her household, she nurtures her children, she rides well, dresses well, her make-up and hair are always nice and neat, her nails are groomed, her feet are soft, she smells good, she is cordial, etc.  On the contrary, she doesn’t pay her bills on time, she bounces checks on an account that is closed by 5 figures overdrawn, she’s not a giver to the less fortunate, she’s not cooperative, she lacks humility, her children sees her two-facedness, and her speech is foul.

Assets and liabilities!  What is her net worth that she is bringing to the relationship?  The sum total of her ‘on the contrary’ makes her net worth (yaqar yaw-kawr) far below rubies.  It would BE to her advantage to rid herself of those liabilities and owner’s equity.  If not, they will depreciate her by compound scores.  SELAH!

Truly, the center of our attention should zoom in on our net worth status.  Are we consistently increasing in seven-fold health and soul prosperity?  Although this is not about deducing us to an economic equation or comparing us to the rate of a dollar, without a doubt, when our liabilities outweigh our assets our net worth will BE full of no value.  I sincerely encourage you all to stop increasing your assets (assets = owners’ equity + + + + liabilities) and start increasing your positive net worth (assets – – – – liabilities = net worth).

Know your worth for real!

Scientifically Spiritual

Is it possible to scientifically explain a spiritual occurrence? I’m not sure where this thought came from, perhaps I was reading something.  Right now, I’m not sure what I was reading at the time.  (A few moments have passed) OKAY!  Now I remember!  I was studying EFT and TFT, which are Emotional Freedom Technique and Thought Field Therapy.  EFT and TFT are alternative energy medicines like therapeutic touch, acupuncture, Reiki, etc.  Then I had to work my recollection to answer, “What made me want to study that?”  Well, yesterday I had starting reading an article on “Breaking the Psychologically Attachment to Illness.”  Oh how so many of us need to detach ourselves from ourselves and BE made whole.  SELAH!

All this week, I’ve been studying on thoughts and words and their importance to create, produce, activate, heal, etc.  At one point, the thought arose that this is just mindless.  Then I remembered that I took careful attention at how unfailing my midnight thoughts came to me as I BEgin to dose off.  Reliable was Psalm 3:3 as I laid me down to sleep:  “But thou, O LORD, art a Shield FOR me; MY Glory, and The Lifter Up of mine head.”  This song took its place to awareness.  As I measured this encouragement, my midday intercession sprung up in me, i.e., the LORD is MY naw-tsar’ (my protector, my shield).

Bringing the two thoughts together was like healing water to my bones.  I could literally feel my bones being strengthened by flowing water.  It made me giggle for a few seconds; I knew it was the Holy Spirit afresh.  This morning, when I opened my eyes, Psalm 3:3-4 awakened with me.  I started to pray MY protection a 70×70 mile radius; that wherever I am, I AM shields me.  The LORD sustained me!  Everything is perfectly complete.  SELAH!

Nonetheless, I kept reading and studying EFT and TFT and came upon the faith of the First Church of Christ, Scientist based in Boston, MA.  Not the cult, Church of Scientology!  That’s an entirely different army, with compounds ALL over this world, which, by the way, is opposed to abortion but PROMOTES homosexual oral and anal penetrative sex as a form of birth control.  I thought I was reading a Bourne Ultimatum script perusing information about this organization.

Anyways, back to the First Church of Christ, Scientist.  I learned that the requirements to BE a member of this organization, per the by-laws, are that you pray daily and study the bible.  You must subscribe to the organization’s periodicals IF YOU CAN AFFORD to, and pay an annual tax to the church of nothing less than $1.00.  There are the basic requirements to BE a member.  I personally like the idea that they have Reading Rooms at each sanctuary location that are OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!  Isn’t that awesome?  It’s comparable to a library.  How many of the ministry organizations in your neighborhood are OPEN TO THE PUBLIC on days besides the days they’ve calendared service?

In addition, I was captured by the answer that explains the question, “What is a Christian Science?” in particularly this answer:

“Christian Scientists come from all walks of life and are happy to talk about their faith when asked, but we don’t proselytize. For us, a life well lived is the best example of our beliefs.”

A life well lived is THE BEST example of our beliefs!  This statement caused me to pause and ponder about what I see in other religious organizations.  Do they too BElieve, unto living, that “a life well lived is THE BEST example?”  Due to the fact that we all have tendency to yield to the great rhetoric of what we are accustomed to, when all things are considered, we systematically neglect knowing our neighbors who may actually have an acuter depth of spiritual insight.

This is a legitimate thought, and very likely a reliable truth, that if you think the religious organization that you belong to is THE ONLY organization that knows God (Creator, Love, Light, Spirit, and Truth) you are very likely under the influence of a persuasive deception.  As many of us are aware, Massachusetts is the breeding ground for witchcraft.  Sadly, witchcraft is practiced EVERYWHERE; even so, over the many altars that we fellowship in weekly.  There is no slight here, just the unsullied truth.

So then, I take it upon myself to start reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.

“There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter.  All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all.  Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error.  Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal.  Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness.  Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual” (Eddy, Mary Baker (1910) Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 468). 

I love this quote of Mary Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Science, from the New York Herald, 1 May 1901,

“Where vaccination is compulsory, let your children be vaccinated and see that your MIND is in such a state that BY YOUR PRAYERS vaccination will do the children no harm.  So long as Christian Scientists obey the laws, I do not suppose their mental reservations will be thought to matter much.”  

For some reason or another, all of this brought back to my attention, in an affirming manner, that what I’ve been saying for quite some time now is great truth.  And that is, we need to BEcome our spirit selves in this realm, as this is our true self.  We need to unBEcome who we are and BEcome who we were created.  When we start living from this place (spiritually minded, taking on the attributes of Our Image, the Mind of Christ), then we will start experiencing life and peace on earth AS IT IS in heaven.  I wholly BElieve John 6:63 (KJV),

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I SPEAK unto you, they ARE SPIRIT, and they ARE LIFE.

As I read more from the pages of this text, I thought I was reading my mind on paper.  So many things I hear in my spirit, I’ve heard them again in this book.  I thus recognize that these thoughts, which are coming to conscious, are arriving BEcause there are disciplines that I need to study.  There are matters that I need to learn; there is wisdom to gain; and, there is understanding to get.

I study on…
