No Madam Christians dont belive that they can raise themselved from the dead. Its my brother who believes he is a god and believes that, neither does he consider himself in Christ, but your a Christian and you know that. Yet Paul encouraged us to press on that we may attain to the Resurrection: since now we have the Spirit of God In us, "The Same Spirit that Saved Christ from the dead dwelling in you, shall make alive your dead spiritual body by His Spirit dweling in you." ("Now we are the body of Christ") These are they who walk in Love, "In Faith that 'Works' by Love." Now who does the work? Me or my Friend, and we do have to be friends of God to do the work of God, not babes. "We are labourers together with God. We are God's vineyard." "Go also in my vineyard and what is Wright I will give you." These ar past 12 years of age as Jesus was in the temple. "Did you not know that I must be in My Father's house." I received this calling about 15 years ago and recently the LOrd told me: Your not ready. They were words of encouragement. I will include them here, as well as a poem by St John of the Cross on the Journey to enter into rest in God
Ascending in contemplation worship by St John of the Cross:
To see ourselves there, without knowing where we are; unknowing in profound solitude, transcending all knowledge: experiencing Peace and Holiness that can’t be held; stammering and withdrawn from senses, overwhelmed and absorbed with thanksgiving beyond words; entering into Wisdom transcending knowledge. To seek union with God alone, whose Love transforms us into new creatures in Christ; dying with Him daily in the reconciliation of the cross, that we may live in Him: wounding our soul in its deepest desire, to bring us in union with Him. He who overcomes is free of himself and his knowledge seems worthless: forgetting created things, feeling abandoned, to ascend in the Love of God whose purpose in creation is for us to share. To ascend in fellowship with God whose Joy is for us to be with Him in eternity.
Directions received in preparation for Journey:
"We will give ourselves to prayer."
Withhold nothing, take nothing, you have to be determined to succeed. Your prayer life must increase, content to participate in the mystery of God. Go, this is a time of prayer; it’s the only way you'll succeed. Keep yourself in the Love of God, don't give up: you’re not ready. Be still: know that I Am with you. "Wait on the Lord and He will strengthen your heart." Your prayer life has to extend in all areas of your life. What you do not realize is that the war is accomplished: it's not as simple as you getting the power, you have to Love the Truth. Give up your life, no more going back to idols.
Don't be afraid, above all surrender (give Him your fear). Don’t stay outside, don’t worry, Psalm 118. Be Faithful unto death. Seek Me more than your necessary food. Don’t fight against the Holy Ghost, give yourself to prayer. Give yourself to Him, you need to change, no longer desire earthly things, come and be reconciled. Make the most of your time, live in Prayer, don't want anything else. Don’t forget.
These Word were over a period of 3 weeks of making the decision to quit work for a time alone in the wilderness. During that time of preperation heard: Pray for wisdom. I laid down on the bed and prayed for wisdom and fel asleep for a few minutes. While asleep said to myself: I have 50 days, i was hired by a former employer aftrer 50 days. The experience showed me why I'm not ready, my prayer life is still shalow and distracted by unimportant things. I have no regrets, we are slow learners and get up to go on with thanksgiving in everything.
Farewell sister.
