Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Love is found in the bible in 281 verses.
Definition of love from the Greek;
G25 ἀγαπάω – Perhaps from (much; or compare [H5689]); to love (in a social or moral sense). Compare G5368. G5368From G5384; to be a friend to (fond of [an individual or an object]), that is, have affection for (denoting personal attachment, as a matter of sentiment or feeling; while G25 is wider, embracing especially the judgment and the deliberate assent of the will as a matter of principle, duty and propriety: the two thus stand related very much as G2309 and G1014, or as G2372 and G3563 respectively; the former being chiefly of the heart and the latter of the head).
Definition from the English;Affection based on admiration, benevolence or common interests.unselfish loyal concern for the good of another: such asthe fatherly concern of God for humankind, brotherly concern for others, a person’s adoration of God.
Opposition to love; Hate, despise, loathe, detest, minimize, abandon, neglect, put down, belittle, bad-mouth, write-off.
Opposition to benevolent; Cruel, vicious, savage, brutal, heartless, unsympathetic, merciless, thoughtless, uncaring, hard-hearted, insensitive, cold-blooded, mean, spiteful, nasty, unsentimental.
Pro 10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
1Peter 3:8-11 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
NOTE: Charity, which is found only in the New Testament, is referenced in 24 verses. The Greek definition of charity is G25 ἀγαπάω,which is the above definition for love.
Your soul-spirit was created with the Word written in your heart. God created you in perfection. The natural man or the outward man began in the Garden of Eden where you were “formed.” Thus creating a “dualism” between the flesh-mind and the spirit-soul which was created in heaven.
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
1Co 15:44-45 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
“Sown” in the Hebrew has the meaning “through the idea of extending, to scatter or sow, (literal or figuratively).”
“Quickening” in the Greek is a revitalization. The revitalization is no more than the true spiritual self overcoming the mind-flesh self.
Adam being the representative of the first created soul of all humankind. Thus humankind being the last man Adam by way of regeneration or being born again.
Gal 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
We discern everything from the flesh mind. To know your higher self even exists, it is constantly in a battle for your thoughts-actions when your higher self awareness is realized.
First reactions are of the mind-ego and not your true higher self. Knowing your higher self, which is pure love and truth, having the awareness to discern from your mind-thought self, making it easier to discern truth from a lie providing your thinking is from your higher self.
Scripture makes the distinction of two separate selves numerous times.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Jude 1:19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
Rom 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
2Co 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
1Peter 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Christ has not gone anywhere. The flesh masks the appearance of Christ and false teachings from the perspective of there being a separation.
Pro 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
1Sa 2:3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
The ego, being of the outer self or natural body, can be a positive image of oneself or a negative one. It includes positive and negative aspects. The ego contains the individual’s sense of self-worth, self-confidence and self-esteem. It has desires such as wealth, prestige, success, and power.
1John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Arrogance and pride begin from the ego. Your ego is a mental organ that functions in the structure of our personality creating emotions in our lives.
It hides behind opinions that have the “appearance” to be in truth.
Generates deceptive powerful emotional reactions and blames usor others for how it makes us feel.
The ego produces a false sense of protection based upon events of the past that establishes an opinion related to future events. A false sense of protection because ego can not predict the future nor establish any basis on an event being in truth. This emotional reaction is not from your spiritual self but rather from your flesh physical mind-brain and can be manifested by your senses into your reality, or simply kept within the mind.
With your ego not being able to predict the future, and its basis for protection is from the past, how can that be any assurance of correctly seeing a future event?
If you are “sealed” with the Holy Spirit of God, what is the need for your ego to “protect” you or lead you into false thoughts?
Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Every created soul is no different then the next created soul other then in personality-conscience. God’s love is always the same in any given instance or situation no matter what loves or evils are manifested in the mind or from the senses. God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit has not gone anywhere.
The understanding is in knowing that Creation has within truth and goodness. All of Creation is linked together and have equal importance no matter what the “mind” thinks and the senses “feel.”
Think past the weakness of the flesh-mind-ego unto the truth of your created spirit-soul knowing that God did not create some flawed soul that seems to think it needs to protect itself.
As Jesus said; “and if thou wilt be perfect,” (Eph 4:13) till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”, your mind-brain, your deciding consciousness, is the freedom of choice in “goodness” or “from the error of his way.” (James 5:20)
Since God is good and love, the closer you get to living this life in that realm, the closer to God you will be balancing heaven or hell within you in your present life. Our perception of what we call reality; life through our interpretation are experiences.
Awareness through your higher selves consciousness should be your reality in your present “time.” Your created spirit-consciousness is not in time. Time is a construct from your conscious mind-brain.
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. (Mark 1:15) Is not the kingdom within you? (Luke 17:21)
Since God’s work is finished, (Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.) The heavens have no time, therefore all is in the present, and since you control your world, your thinking should be from your spirit-soul not your mind-ego.
Trusting in God’s perfect plan.
Mat 10:28-31 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
These verses of Matthew are interesting. Fear not humankind that can kill the body and not able to kill the soul. One of them shall NOT fall on the ground without your Father. Every moment of your eternal existence, God has full knowledge and control.
The “him” that is able to destroy both soul and body in hell is the self. The “hell” that a soul experiences in the soul living from life to life in the progression to the balance in favor to heaven within.
Life is an illusion produced by your conscience. Your created reality is consciousness manifested by your senses.
The Law Of Divine Oneness states that everything is connected. Everything in the Universe is an extension of Source energy (God) which means nothing is separate on a spiritual level.
Rom 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
(See Also; 1Co 10:17, 12:12-14, 12:20, 12:27, Eph 5:23, 5:30)
Law of Correspondence
The Law of Correspondence states that your external reality is a direct reflection of your internal state.
2Co 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
Rom 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Your true reality is your internal self-state and should flow through your external self. The correspondence with the inward and outward self.
Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction states that which is like onto itself is drawn. Your energy is constantly attracting things that are a vibrational match for it.
Mat 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Law of Compensation
The Law of Compensation states that you reap what you sow. What you give to others shall be given to you. What you without from others shall be withheld from you.
Job 4:8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
From the spiritual perspective;
Gal 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
The same said for negative thinking. Change your negative thinking to positive reactions and thinking and you change your world.
Law of Cause and Effect
The Law of Cause and Effect states that for every cause there’s an effect. In life, our thinking is the cause and our experiences are the effect of our thinking.
Eph 4:29-31 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Law of Inspired Action
The Law of Inspired Action states that inspiration will come about when you are aligned with who you are – an extension of Source. (God)
John 15:4-5 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Php 4:8-9 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Law of Rhythm
The Law of Rhythm states that cycles are a natural part of the universe. Just like the four seasons, your life has seasons too.
Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Growth;
See the Parable of the sower Mat 13:18-23
Change;
Php 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
Renewal-Regeneration;
Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Law of Polarity
The Law of Polarity states that everything in life has an opposite. For every problem, there is a solution. For every obstacle, there is an opportunity.
Ecc 3:1-8 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Closing Scripture;
Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Developing A Truth (Updating; The Wiles Of Satan 1996)
There is a progression in knowledge-wisdom-truth-understanding in a souls growth from Biblical Scriptures. God works with every soul, on an individual basis, because no two consciences are identical.
God works one on one, within their understanding of the Word, and the “condition” of the heart. The baseline of truth, is the Word, that is instilled in the spirit-soul. Distinguishing and understanding negative experiences, wisdom is gained by the application of goodness-love in everything.
Understanding Satan from scriptures from the literal perspective, is the belief that Satan is responsible for sin-evils. Misunderstandings are in the relationship of the flesh, and the eternal salvation of the soul. Taking scriptures from the literal reading, shaping the mind to feelings, a comfort zone, because the flesh-mind believes it can not overcome the wiles of Satan, and/or the flesh-mind chooses not to overcome.
Satan is a representation of sin-evils, covering all aspects of negativity. Negativity, better known as sin and evil; whereas, each of Satan’s names, being a representation of those evils that are expressed by thought and/or actions by the flesh.
Satan’s Biblical Names;
Satan, Dragon, Old Serpent, Devil, Wormwood, Destroyer, Accuser, Tempter, Prince of Power of the Air, Murderer, Power of Darkness, Lying Spirit, Enemy, Belial, Beelzebub, Appolloyn, Abaddon, Adversary.
See Also; (Rev 20:2, Rev 8:11, Jer 23:15, 1Cor 10:10, Psalms 17:4, Job 15:21, Judges 16:24, Exo 12:23, Rev 12:10, Gen 3:1-5, 1Th 3:5, John 19:33-37, Eph 2:2, Col 1:13, John 8:44, 1King 22:22, Mat 13:39, 2Cor 6:15, Mat 12:24, Rev 9:11, 1Peter 5:8)
Summarizing the Greek-Hebrew definitions for the names of Satan;
Satan is the first in order of time, political rank and power, being a fabulous kind of serpent, a poisonous snake. He is an accuser, opponent, sly, cunning, artful, malicious. The arch enemy of good, ready to attack, while his eyes wide open causing calamity. A worthless dung-god, a destroying angel distressed of mind, gratifying completely an intense dislike, disgust, hatred, and abhorrence.
On the other hand, angels and demons work within the spirit-soul, to keep the soul balanced, so the progression is towards goodness, the ultimate goal, and the promise from God. Thus the balance between heaven and hell, fall upon the soul, and throughout the souls eternity, reaching towards greater truth-goodness-love, which is life.
Psalms 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Luke 12:9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Psalms 139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
(See Also; Mat 4:6, Psalms 91:11-12, Psalms 34:7, Luke 4:9-12, Heb 1:14)
Each soul is responsible for the condition of their own soul, not Satan. “The devil didn’t make me do it”, or the thinking that souls stand before Christ thinking they do not have total responsibility for their own evil tendencies. Where lying to ones self brings nothing more then judgement upon one’s self.
Goodness is natural per the Creation of the perfect soul. The flesh entertains evils because of the natural love for it. To blame Satan, is having the mindset in thinking that the soul is overpowered by Satan, and has not, the control to overcome. Thus mindset of the forgiveness of evils are justified, through Jesus over and over. Albeit true, it is the condition of the heart in the repetition of evils, is in fact, the repetition of hanging Christ on the cross over and over.
1Cor 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
When the understanding of scriptures advances to a deeper understanding, from literal meaning, to a spiritual perspective-understanding, the purpose of sin-evil is seen in a different light.
According to original Biblical text definitions, sin is an offense. To miss the mark (and so not to share in the prize), that is, (figuratively) to err, especially (morally) to sin. A division.
Evil is seen as hurtful, anguish, starving, calamitous, (passively) ill, diseased.
This is not downgrading, or downplaying, sin-evil as much as it is a deeper understanding, to the purposes of sin-evil, and its effects upon the soul. Seeing how the opposite of goodness is necessary in this world for a soul to live in freedom, as well as a tool to learn and grow from those opposites.
If the god in you feels that there is need to judge, take into consideration that there is only one God. God’s job is done and the god’s of the flesh believe He has no control. Actually, all gods have none understanding.
Jer 4:22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
How much of a souls beliefs are truth in another persons eyes? Doesn’t matter to you. The heart-soul knows their place with God. Unseen by others. Assuming others know where they stand, this eliminates judgement, and others can simply respect where they are in their ETERNAL walk with the Lord.
Judgement is infringing upon another, even if the thought is only from the conscience. Judgement begins in the conscience, then possibly advancing into the physical or verbalizing such judgement.
It’s not about accusing another persons beliefs. Wouldn’t that then be taking away their freedom-free will?
God doesn’t take away, or interfere with free will, why would any other soul? God has the “appearance” of judging a soul in the present now. Since God knew you, and all of your eternity, prior to living your eternal lives. At Creation, scripture says that His work is finished, as mentioned in Gen 3:5, and from that point, God is simply living through the goodness’s of His Creation. Assume then, from lifes linear time perspective, the appearance is in the now, but judgement was in the past.
1John 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Redemption is in the New Testament in 11 verses. Redemption from the Greek Concordance:
G629 ἀπολύτρωσις From a compound of G575 and G3083; (the act) ransom in full, that is, (figuratively) riddance, or (specifically) Christian salvation: – deliverance, redemption. G3083 λύτρον From G3089; something to loosen with, that is, a redemption price (figuratively atonement): – ransom.
Rom 3:23-24 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
(See Also; Luke 2:38, Rom 8:23, Heb 9:12)
ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. ALL are IN Christ. ALL have redemption because redemption was purchased for ALL. By the holy Spirit, ALL are sealed until THEIR DAY OF REDEMPTION. When is their day of redemption? Some “time” in their eternity.
Praise is found in the Bible in 216 verses. 24 of the 216 verses are found in the New Testament.
Eph 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Of the 24 verses, Eph 1:6 and these verses use this next definition: (Rom 2:29, Rom 13:3, 1Co 4:5, 2Co 8:18, Eph 1:12, Eph 1:14, Php 1:11, Php 4:8)
The definition of praise from the Greek:(G1868) ἔπαινος From G1909 and the base of G134; laudation; concretely a commendable thing: – praise.
These verses refer to praise used in the sense of laudation or honor. How do you honor God? Obedience. Living in accordance to what you learn and understand. Closing the gap that your flesh has douped you in to thinking you are distant from God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit, but are not.
John 12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
The definition of praise in John 12:43 is:
Praise from the Greek: (G1391)δόξα From the base of G1380; glory (as very apparent), in a wide application (literally or figuratively, objectively or subjectively): – dignity, glory (-ious), honour, praise, worship.
Praise, and glory. The word “praise” in this definition is glory. Glory is found in the New Testament in 157 verses.
With glorybeing the same word as praise, simply not translated into English with the same word inthe KJV. Praise, is a “commendable thing”, referring to something that was acted upon or performed by someone. Not just a thought, but is fulfilled by actions that is expressing glory to the Lord.
Jesus uses the word honour in the gospels. Honour found in 50 NT verses.
Mat 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Honour in the Greek: (G5091) τιμάω From G5093; to prize, that is, fix a valuation upon; by implication to revere: – honour, value.
For humankind to have praise for God means having honor. Having honor is having respect and recognition which is shown through from thoughts to actions-behavior. Praise, glory, and honour, if it is followed through by obedience, is having reverence for the Lord.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
These are the words of Christ. “unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” Those in the grave that “finally” hear His voice. Those accused and judged to stand up again.
Eph 2:1-10
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Eternal life, or life eternal is mentioned 64 times in the New Testament. Death according to the Greek Text is either literal or figuratively speaking. Literally speaking; from a fleshly view, whereas figuratively speaking is from a spiritual perspective. Eternal death, or death eternal is mentioned 3 times. The understanding in eternal death or damnation is in the world, the flesh, not your soul-spirit. (Although it is in the current life) If your not living in a life of love, your living a life in spiritual death.
Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (also see Heb 1:2)
We see in Hebrews that the “worlds” were framed by the Word of God. You get to choose if there are multiple worlds besides this one, or a soul that has eternal life that lives multiple lives. How about both? Wouldn’t it be great to gain some ground over the sinful evil natures of this flesh life and the next life not have to do this all over until you figure it out? Are you not tired of evil? How about those that have yet to figure it out. How many lives do they live until they see the light?
“Eventually” saved by your faith at the hand of God, grace is our gift. Apply your salvation and baptism scriptures to your life because the kingdom is at hand, and within you. (Mat 4:7, Luke 17:21)
It’s by God’s design that evil serves a purpose. It’s by God’s design that we overcome the world by way of freedom to choose evils or good.
Five main points to living a spiritual life and overcoming the flesh and learning how to live in the world but yet out of the world.
1) Gain control over ALL negativity. See it as a positive or simply neutralize the thought.
Psalms 82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
The world teaches negativity and judgement with virtually no understanding but from a worldly perspective. When a soul has a seemingly a non-caring attitude, that soul simply has a total understanding because Creation is God.
2) Understanding judgement; We judge ourselves. We know NOTHING about our neighbor.
Mat 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
Rom 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.
3) Learn how to love your neighbor. (forgiveness, judgement, love, understanding)
Rom 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
4) Curbing repetitive evils.
(Rom 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.)
If something can not be called good, or the premise be from love, then what is it?
5) Forgiveness-self and all others.
Why carry the burden of the world when God, and not god, (you) has total control of all Creation? By establishing a practice of these 5 points and a 24/7 awareness, the kingdom will be within, and the focus on life simplified to one word, love.
Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Gen 1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
God has created humankind in His image and likeness and formed humankind from the dust to become as God; created as a god and live forever or eternity by way of the created spirit-soul and formed flesh.
To understand how to envision your eternity outside of time would be like looking into two mirrors (paralleled or angled) that reflect each other and so your image is projected back creating a series of smaller and smaller reflections that appear to recede to infinity.
Your infinite number of lives are no more than looking into reflections of a mirror to see your infinite lives or thoughts, not in time.
T wo thoughts can describe what is seen in the picture. Each mirror being a real life without current awareness, still in the present. The person that is in the picture is seen in the following mirrors to be thoughts from consciousness but not pursued and implemented by way of the 5 senses that actually produces a reality.These images can be likened to all your eternal lives-thoughts. These lives or thoughts that come from your soul-mind and are present in your eternal life. Since there is no time in the spiritual world, your “present,” is your current awareness in your eternal life.
Time is a construct in this world. Time in the spiritual world is measured by changes of state by one’s interior or created spirit.
A soul’s eternity is in an ever present state, with the awareness of living one life in the present now.
Since time does not exist in the spirit world, time is comprehended as a sense of succession.
The lack of “succession” is idleness belonging only to the world. Idleness from the Greek is defined as being inactive, lazy, useless.
Pro 19:15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
(See Also; Ex 5:8, Ex 5:17, Mat 12:36, Mat 20:3, Mat 20:6, Luke 24:11, 1Ti 5:13)
Humankind “creates” a thought and/or a mental image in our mind. The thought, application, or manifesting by way of the 5 senses, becomesan individuals “reality.” (Facilities having relationship to understanding and the will). Your thoughts should come from your spirit-soul, the truth. When the brain-mind is the working from the flesh and not the spirit, where is the truth if the thought is not followed through from the spirit and not the flesh?
Thought is energy, and since energy can not be destroyed but can be reshaped and/or reconstructed, each “reflection”can be a way of understanding your lives through eternity from a present perspective from the flesh. Thoughts from consciousness manifested or not, creates the possibilitiesfor experiences.
Succession or idleness, growth or complacency, life or death? This is assuming that a soul is in the love of life with understanding and the elimination of repetitive evils.
Acts 2:17-19 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
All scripture is God spoken. All scriptures are God, which is the Word, which is alive. Therefore, humankind is always in the end days. All scriptures are in the NOW. Is it YOUR now, maybe, maybe not.
Meditation;
1Ti 4:15-16 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Scriptures were penned by the souls that lived and spoke in their own way-language-understanding. Visions and prophesies are expressed through that soul but the Word that comes from the spirit world, by way of God, Jesus, spirit guides, the Holy Spirit, angels, your “higher” true perfect spiritual self.
Act 10:19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
We see in this vision of Peter, the Spirit spoke to him.

Pauls vision;
2Co 12:1-4 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

Num 24:4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
Acts 10:10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

Trance in the Greek Concordance;
G1611 ἔκστασις From G1839; a displacement of the mind, that is, bewilderment, “ecstasy”: – + be amazed, amazement, astonishment, trance. G1839 ἐξίστημι From G1537 and G2476; to put (stand) out of wits, that is, astound, or (reflexively) become astounded, insane: – amaze, be (make) astonished, be beside self (selves), bewitch, wonder.
In today’s world, “trance” is the same as channeling. Channeling is an established connection and communication with the spiritual world in through a focused state of consciousness. A meditation, or displacement of the mind.
