The Vidio I posted is my favorite of any account from those who have seen Jesus, and there are many, whether in near death experiences or dreams and visions. Her account is full of hidden meaning, short to the point. I have the whole account tipped out and added to my study. I decided to include her account and a description of the hidden meaning. The introduction is also mine
The above post about of the thief on the cross will be added to my study, thanks to dcontroversial and the original man mentioning of Obedience of Faith. I have to make 2 posts to make this happen as we don't fit together, to long. Her account will be in the next post.
Holiness is not achieved but received:
"You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be witnesses of Me in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth."
A journey past ourselves, uncharted and through a dark valley. The influence of God makes the difference, "Lean not on your own understanding but trust in the Lord." Otherwise wandering in the desert until we learn to walk by Faith. He that loves a creature becomes as low as the creature and lower, for love is subject to the beloved. Affections and attachments of creature render the soul like the creature: for love shares common ground with the beloved. Jesus had to become subject to His creation out of Love and exchange His Life with us: appointed to death in our place, that we may feel after Him and find Him since He is near to every one of us. “For in him we live and move and have our being.” Led by His Spirit to find Him in all things, "As the truth is in Jesus, put off your old self: your former manner of life corrupt with deceitful desires, and be renewed in right relationship with God in His Holiness."
To be in the unity of the Spirit requires our whole heart:
"He that is Joined to the Lord becomes one Spirit with Him."
"He that is not with Me is against Me and he that gathers not with Me scatters abroad. Therefore I say to you, all manner of sin shall be forgiven to men: but rejecting the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven to men."
"If I have all knowledge and understand all mysteries and have not Love, I am nothing." We become self righteous living the lie, "You shall be as gods knowing good and evil." "Now as touching things offered to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but Love builds up." Knowledge does not free us from the false self in pride of achievement and desires of the flesh, where we are addicted and living in fear; neither can we forgive and be forgiven, "Only by pride comes contention." "What fruit had ye in those things you are now ashamed." The mind and will of the flesh is divided between good and evil, under the influence of the enemy desiring control and marked by violence. Jesus came "To proclaim deliverance to the captives… that we might be trees of righteousness." “I Am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in Me, you are like a branch broken off that withers; such branches are thrown in the fire and burned. If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit as My disciples. As the Father Loves Me, so I Love you, now remain in My Love. If you keep My commands, you will remain in My Love, just as I have kept My Father’s commands and remain in His love. I have told you this so that My Joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his Master’s business. I call you friends, as everything I heard from My Father I have made known to you."
Living for the praise of God is the daily sacrifice of the new covenant:
"Daily pick up your cross and follow me."
"Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord put in charge of His household to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whose Lord finds him doing so when He returns. Truly I tell you, He will put him in charge of all His goods. But the wicked servant that says in his heart 'My Lord delays His coming,' and begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. The Lord of that servant will come in a Day he does not expect and an hour he is not aware: He will cut him to pieces and assign his place with the hypocrites, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." "If you live after the flesh you will die, but if through the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the flesh you will Live." No longer interpreting daily sacrifice from old covenant perspective: done away by "The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." "Now we are the temple of God" "Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in His Holy Place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart."
