‘CHRIST IS ALL: Manifesting the Dream of a Better World’

____________________________

I – “…where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.” (Colossians 3:11 – NKJV)

______________________________

II – “wherein…there is no Greek [figure of the multitudes who are non-Jews, and of those who are cultured and civilized] and Jew [figure of a covenant people of God], circumcision and uncircumcision [figure for religious in-groups and out-groups; there is no longer a covenant people versus non-covenant people], barbarian [foreigner who speaks a different language], Scythian [figure or example of wild, uncivilized groups], slave, freeman, but to the contrary, Christ is all, and within all (or Christ is all humanity, and within all mankind; or Christ is everything or all things, and within everything and all things; [note: the Greek is plural, and is either masculine, signifying “mankind,” or neuter, signifying all creation, in these phrases]).” (Colossians 3:11 – JMNT)

_____________________________

III – “For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.” (Romans 8:22 – NKJV)

_____________________________

IV – “All around us we observe a pregnant creation. The difficult times of pain throughout the world are simply birth pangs. But it’s not only around us; it’s within us. The Spirit of God is arousing us within. We’re also feeling the birth pangs. These sterile and barren bodies of ours are yearning for full deliverance. That is why waiting does not diminish us, any more than waiting diminishes a pregnant mother. We are enlarged in the waiting. We, of course, don’t see what is enlarging us. But the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy.” (Romans 8:22-25 – The Message)

V – “When you spend time worrying, you’re simply using your imagination to create things you don’t want.” – Shannon L. Alder

VI – “Stop promoting the darkness, and embrace the light…use that amazing, creative, Divine Imagination of yours to dream a better world, instead of adding your faith to (and constantly setting yourself in agreement with) bogus, fear-filled conspiracy theories that only add to the confusion and depression around you…instead of foolishly falling victim to nefarious online bots, and being daily duped by computer algorithms which intentionally play on your fear and paranoia and inspire division in the world, decide to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves”, and become a part of the solution instead of just being a part of the problem…you were designed to be a Creator, but you have a daily role in deciding what you’re going to visualize into creation…seeing the potential worst-case-scenario in everything is an exercise in creative visualization – a perversion of the gift you were given by The Creator when He/She/It created you after His/Her/Its own kind…you were wired to speak life…you were destined to speak worlds into existence…you were fashioned to be a dreamer…you were given the ability to prophesy your own future…you have the innate power to “call those things which are not as though they are”, but because both life and death are in the power of the tongue, you can use that ability for good or for evil, for your own salvation, or for your own destruction…Jesus said, “By your words you are justified, and by your words you are condemned”…Job said, “The thing I feared came upon me”… – #JESmeditations

VII – “If you have set yourself in covenant with fear-mongers, conspiracy theorists, gossipers and worry-warts, you may need to examine why you are attracted to people of that ilk…”How can two walk together unless they be in agreement?”…don’t confuse “discernment” with something that is actually much darker…the just shall live by faith…”blessed is the man who does not sit in the seat of the scornful”…don’t let your online activity become your own personal seat of darkness…and don’t let your own imagination become your worst enemy…don’t use your creative gift to worry things into manifestation…let your words work FOR you, and not AGAINST you…Jesus said that the greatest faith He had seen in all of Israel was that which was spoken through a pagan, polytheistic Roman Centurion requesting prayer for the healing of a man with whom he had a non-traditional, non-specific relationship…the Centurion simply said “Your words work for You in the way that my 100 men work for me…they do exactly what I tell them to do…just speak the word only, and my servant will be healed!”..
