FRITTERED & REFRACTED SIGNIFICANCE
The various elements of truth stand in perpetual antithesis, sometimes requiring us to believe apparent opposites while we wait for the moment when we shall know as we are known.”― A.W. Tozer,from The Knowledge of the Holy
It’s through our contemplation joined with YHWY that we find ourselves retreating from that busy, unstable consciousness with its moods and obsessions, its feverish interest and apathy, its conflicts and irrational impulses. To thankfully discover an inner most sanctuary a being not wholly practical, who refuses to be satisfied by your busy life of correspondences with the world of normal men, and hungers for communion with a spiritual universe. And yet this thing so foreign to your surface consciousness, yet familiar to it and continuous with it, you recognize as the true Self whose existence you always took for granted, but whom you have only known for its scattered manifestations. This is where we learn to rule, to reign, and to have significance in a limited sphere in The Kingdom of God.
It is generally agreed that the word 'kingdom' means 'sovereign rule', or 'reign', so that it should be more correctly translated 'the sovereign rule of God', and we must keep that in mind all the way along. This Kingdom is a present reality. There are many things which contradict it and work against it. God does not consume and annihilate them: He permits them, and then takes hold of them; and the end is that His throne is established and it is made manifest that "his kingdom ruleth over all" (Ps. 103:19).
Once we come to understand our “kingdom” is simply the range of our effective will. Whatever we genuinely have the say over is in our kingdom. And our having the say over something is precisely what places it within our kingdom. Which then becomes the basis of our enduring response to Yashua. For he always takes us as seriously as our tattered dignity demands.
My Vision
Riding my white stallion bareback with Yashua, we stop in front of a village of teepees where a man is strung up in a tree. Numerous tiny knives have been stabbed into his chest. I climb down off my horse, pull every knife I can see out of him. Each one leaving pin holes in his chest, I whip-out my knife and cut him down from the tree. Half dead, I load this man onto my horse and take him on a short ride back to camp. My vision ends under the archway of a castle [temple].
Can you see the imaginary of inner conflict?
And it happened that soon afterwards He went to a city called Nain [gate to Jesus’ miracles], and His disciples were going along with Him, accompanied by a large crowd. Now as He approached the gate of the city, behold, [h]a dead man was being carried out… Luke 7:11-12
The dead man is one’s soul warned out and beaten not connected to Yashua.
Interpretation:
Lately, I have been introduced to the term “shred” that symbolizes Tearing or The act of tearing. It can represent deep sorrow, repentance, or the judgment of God. For instance, the tearing of garments is a common biblical expression of grief or distress. In Genesis 37:29, when Reuben returned to the pit and found that Joseph was not there, leading him to tear his clothes in distress over the loss of his brother.
Riding bareback with Yashua is a metaphor for spiritual journey. This shred begins at the arrival of a village indicating we have entered our inner kingdom [soul]. The teepee’s or temporary dwelling where the soul is strung-up. The soul [dead man] has tiny knife punctures to indicate pride, egotism, prejudice, wounding or whatever else that does not align with Christ.
When we sit and contemplate, it’s important to present ourselves to YHWY prayer and ask what things within our kingdom have kept our soul harnessed to the machine [mind].
The half dead man is a picture of our soul’s inability for significance without one’s spirit. We are-the-living-dead without our spirit’s connection to YHWY.
The first step to redeeming our soul is partnering with Christ —-in my vision - we are to get on Yashua’s white horse of surrender to take the short-ride to The Lord’s Kingdom. This ride ends under YHWY’s Archway where soul and spirit are in unity with Christ.
There is a beautiful place of strength & support to restore what the war of significance tried to overthrow. Each of you have a choice to pull your soul back from the ledge line and place your feet firmly in the blood of Yashua. He will come shed woven cloth to create a tapestry of significance designed specifically for you and your timeline. Amazing revelation, don’t you think? Thank you ABBA Father.
It’s not an easy journey from death to the indwelling and dominating control of the Holy Spirit. but if taken seriously we eventually stand in unity to face every inner conflict within our kingdom! Mark 9:14, Luke 9:37-42, Matthew 1:7
We are told in the Book of Acts, Chapter 7, verse 48, specifically the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. In fact, the prophet says:
‘Heaven is My throne
and the earth is My footstool.
What kind of house will you build for Me, says the Lord,
or where will My place of repose be?
Has not My hand made all these things?’
This is a message of encouragement to Go forth …. I feel His Oil being poured out as these words become the cloth in your understanding that the once difficult things will begin to become easy. Giving yourself time to recognize where your punctured wounds, pride, ego exist. And with the help of Yashua, we can be healed in Jesus Name.
Once again as I deliver this message, I heard a horse whinny in the spirit so there may be conflicts ahead, but remember we have access to His Kingdom were there is support under His Archway.
Sit, wait and contemplate while in a state of thanksgiving and the Lord will come.
