Air Lifted


 

What if the world isn’t coming to an end? 

What if God isn’t “looking on” and biding his time until he rescues you from your misery? 

Does your faith fall apart if your hope of glory is all in the future tense, and he just doesn’t “show up” though all the signs are pointing in that direction? What if you are not seeing with spiritual eyes, but with very carnal ones? 

I do realize that seems utterly judgemental. It seems like some kind of old testament reverse psychology. It seems… well, you know how you feel right now. All that what iffing doesn’t actually leave you with a stable feeling. The world, after all, looks like it’s going to hell in a hand basket, and getting airlifted out of here by a supernatural being who can make sense of the human mess makes you feel protected, vindicated, even elite. Chosen. Who doesn’t want to feel chosen for survival. 

Leave that whole line of questioning for a moment and stop over in Galatians with me. I want to look at the Spirit Tree, and the fruit that is in it. In what part of your end times world view does Love that casts out all fear, fit? ALL FEAR… not just fear for yourself, but fear for others as well, including those you assume are hellbound… Where does that world view land you on the scale of fear, worry, patience, record keeping in the wrongs department, rejoicable truth? Are you able to maintain a feeling towards the rest of humanity of benevolent goodness, gentleness… Or is your inner angst flavouring the perception of every reported event. Could you see Love if it flashed it’s pretty smile or would you scream “prophet of peace when there is none!” and refuse to be comforted? 

I have found, in the understanding of Living in Spirit, as Source of not just my life, but all of life, that fear has no place in a state of rest. It is incongruous too, in a world view in which God is just LOVE. Seeing humanity in a hopeless condition, requiring rescue, discounts the role we were given at creation, not just to be stewards of our earth, but to be co creators in our universe, taking part in the spiritual depths of our shared Life Source… collective consciousness. To believe that we are all going to die negates so much of what life in the Spirit scripturally consists of. Christ said the Kingdom of God is at hand, within us. This was not a “later” or after death reality to him. How, I ask, will we do greater things than “these” if we have passed physically from death unto life? No. That is to claim that we are dead already. Waiting for life and healing past the grave. Understanding and enlightenment, past the grave. Why are we waiting for that? If God, who knew life before he created all that is, requiring no flesh, thought that the ultimate human experience was to be had WITHOUT a body, why did he bother creating a human being manifest in physical form? Why not cut to the chase, and have only spirit children? 

I think it’s time to experience the Life we were created for. Stop worrying about when it’s all going to end, and give in to the Love and Peace we are promised. 

Yes, Lots of things are happening in our world that reflect a crazy, fearful opportunity for frenzied wishing away of it. But what is the reality? We have been given dominion over our world by our Maker. Are we willing to experience the power in our imagination, in our breath, in our words? Or is our thinking so fatalistic that we are subject to every earthly power? 

Just a thought, but is it not more charitable to pray for humanity to awake to the reality of her original design and experience the oneness in the Spirit of Christ? To know the healing love of the Father, and cease striving, to feel at home in the Kingdom, being on earth, as it is in heaven? This is what ALL humanity was meant for. We were designed to abide in this space. Peace, harmony. Agitation, Fear, Hate, not part of our design. 

When we pray for our Rescue, we are denying the finished work of Jesus. We are denying everything he came to reveal about both us and the Father. We are holding on to the traditions of men, rather that the Life of God. 

I choose peace. I choose healing. I choose Life, and Life abundant. Because he was not telling us what heaven was like, he was telling us what life inside the Maker and Source of the universe, who is our very breath and sustenance is like. The One for whom time is immaterial, and the only existence is the ever present now. God is the God of this moment. Why do we think he would wait another moment for the experience of full union with his beloved when the role of Christ Jesus was to end the separation in our minds. The rescue already happened. Be who you ARE. Hands, feet, breath, catalyst of grace. If you are awake to Love, LOVE. It is the kindness of God that draws all men to him, not the fear of what might happen if we misunderstand him. He never misunderstands us. Ever. From his perspective, there is unbroken communication. Hug him back, and allow your friends and neighbours to feel the hug.
