The Ability to Respond

The ability to respond appropriately to Jesus Christ, and to wisdom is a spiritual ability. It is not a natural one. Religious tradition more than anything else hinders our ability to see reality, but much worse it hinders our ability to respond to reality and to Jesus Christ. It keeps us imprisoned even beyond a lifetime but for generations.

Stubbornness, only listening to approved people (regardless of what they say), and rejecting wisdom because we don’t like a person communicating (he doesn’t speak well, he’s not from my denomination) is really a curse.

The ability to clearly see reality, and to respond appropriately, comes from above.

Also the ability to clearly share and communicate reality so that others can respond appropriately is also from above.

The tendency to be stubborn is natural and is the default state of fallen humanity.

The tendency to communicate poorly, or inappropriately, or not at all is also our default state.

Learning, accepting new insights, and cooperating with the Lord are themselves miracles.

And if miracles, then we cannot control them with tools of persuasion or dominance. Wish I could, and to the extent that I can dominate to persuade is the extent it ceases to be a spiritual thing from the Lord,.

A Movie Playing Within

When we look at a beautiful scene of a sunset or a beautiful mountain landscape. All of that order and light gets converted to electrical impulses by the eye nerves. Then sent to the brain where they are re-assembled and projected onto our consciousness. It’s this projection that amazes and awes us as we observe something beautiful.

Brain researchers are just barely beginning to understand the complex mechanism of this.

This not only happens with vision but with touch, smelling, taste, and pain and everything that we can sense.

This projection of things sensed onto our consciousness happens from spiritually sensed concepts and happenings as well. These timeless realities can be transferred from one realm, the spiritual realm to another realm by our consciousness.

This is what is beginning to happen when Jesus Christ is revealed within someone.

He is seen, and felt and touched in a spiritual way. Then depending on the person can be projected out into the earth through Christians.

“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image…”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:18‬ ‭

“But when he who had set me apart before I was born, …, was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles,…;”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭1:15-16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

God revealed Jesus Christ (his Son) within Paul so that Paul could them preach or translate him out wars into his circles of people’s he had lived near.

So two miraculous things were going on in Paul. An inner revealing and a projection outward.

Looking at Paul and the other apostles was like looking into a movie screen and Jesus Christ was the movie that was playing.

This gives “let your light shine” while new meaning. Like a 4D movie experience shining within the eyes and lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ.

In Matthew chapter 7, Jesus talks about bearing good fruit, in context he also says here to beware of prophets, wolves who prophecy in his name. He teaches here that good fruit is doing the will of the Father. NOTHING else, He also talks about hearing his voice and doing likewise. If we just use religious logic and isolated verses to know what the will of the Lord is then as we set out to produce fruit, it becomes bad and we accidentally become wolves (who always pursue compliant sheep.)

If we know how to hear him then it’s just a matter of doing only what we hear. No logic, no reasoning on what seems like the right thing to do, not hearing sermons and doing likewise, it is a hearing of Jesus directly that is to guide the Christian.

So now if we look at those who are “prophesying” (preaching) in Jesus’ name, the quality of that fruit is judged if it is in line with the will of the father, which is the hearing of Jesus and doing likewise.

Read Matthew 7:15-27

So then if we follow around those who are prophesying and singing and sermonizing in his name. If we want to declare that good fruit (because we like those guys and want to be like them) if it is good fruit it must be what the will of Jesus Christ is (concerts and self help sermons) OR these people are off doing their own thing because they are good at collecting money that way, and it is not good fruit at all… as far as the Lord is concerned.

I tend to think all the beautiful songs and persuasive sermon (religious self help logic) is very bad fruit because it looks and sounds so good, it boldly portrays itself aligned with Jesus but most of it is self help.

Self help is bad because it is the epitome of godless religion. Picking oneself up by one selves bootstraps and becoming great by will, by effort stands contrary to a life surrendered in death to Jesus Christ. And allowing him to live through us.

A close look and it’s not hard to realize that self help ministry is just not what Jesus is doing. Never was, he just does not interact or guide or seek his people through concerts and sermons.

It’s entertainment, at best, it can become much worse.
