The Baptist fought the Pentecostals, Pentecostal fought the charismatics, the charismatics fought the word of faith, the word faith fought the Grace guys, the grace guys fight the kingdom and present truth, and on and on it goes we always have to fight what’s above us rather than look into it and really study it. – Lynn Hiles
DOES FEAR RULE IN YOUR LIFE ?
WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU’RE RIGHT WITH GOD, AND YOU KNOW THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS ALSO RIGHT WITH GOD •BUT• YOU FEEL AFRAID … GO AHEAD AND DO IT !! . DO IT AFRAID !!!!! . [DOING SO WILL LEAD YOU RIGHT •OUT• OF FEAR !!]
Psalm 27:1 KJV
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1 AMP
THE LORD is my Light and my Salvation–whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life–of whom shall I be afraid?
Personal measuring rod
I believe that everyone can have a personal measuring rod of his own private discovery that will reveal whether he is a little bit “off” center or not.
We want to be in the center of God’s will, right? Being slightly off means there is some confusion, a tad bit of distress – neatly camouflaged as ‘normal’ and a proclivity toward a touch of mental laziness.
On target, or at the center, however, has me loving every person I can possibly think of with the sweetest, most compassionate understanding imaginable. This sweetness, this compassion, this understanding has precious little to do with human emotions and the like. It’s all about Jesus whose incredible works superceded the natural laws of this present dimension.
PUTTING OFF FOR A MORE CONVENIENT TIME ?
I see progress, YOUR NAME, but then it gets nullified by ‘futuristic’ declarations. “I’ve just got to….” You’re already there. You don’t have to do anything. Realize right now that you’re there right now. Your mind can’t trick you. Nothing and nobody can. This is it right here, right now, no future at all – just Spirit, God, good … including and especially … you!
What matters?
If you ponder … deeply … the kingdom of God and the fact that it’s spreading unchecked (it’s doing so by virtue of the fact that it’s already here) filling every nook and every cranny in every country and nation, then nothing else will matter.
Many, many dimensions
SEEING FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE : A REAL GOD–PERSPECTIVE !!
===============
Physicists have uncovered strong evidence that extra dimensions do indeed exist. Yet predating these physics discoveries by more than nineteen hundred years are the words of the prophets and apostles who penned the sixty-six books of the Bible. These ancient authors, under the inspiration of One who exists both in and beyond the universe and the universe’s ten space-time dimensions, described phenomena—such as the creation event, miracles, Jesus’ post-resurrection capacities, as well as paradoxical doctrines—that require the existence of extra dimensions, or the functional equivalent of extra dimensions. These writers assured their readers that God’s ways and thoughts are beyond our human limits, but that “eternity,” some unknown reality beyond this universe, is somehow inscribed within us. Now we have the opportunity and the privilege to see from a new perspective—and to integrate—what yesterday’s Bible authors and today’s physicists affirm about reality beyond the cosmos.

Jesus, the social misfit!
See me, see the Father. Those were his words. Okay, so:
Healing the son of his birth nation’s enemy;
Freeing the captive, death row adulterous woman and Sabbath breaking man;
Breaking the Sabbath;
Breaking the Kosher table laws;
Breaking the laws about touching the unclean, after not sacrificing for his sin;
Turning water into wine and being blamed for being a drunk while drinking with sinners at their homes;
Telling off the Religious elite;
Messing up the Temple;
Denying the Temple as being God’s Temple;
Disagreeing with sacrifice;
Upsetting the religious elite and government officials;
Refusing to pledge allegiance to his birth nation and it’s king;
Refusing violence and retaliation;
Doing good, blessing and loving all, to include those who deemed him enemy, tortured and killed him, in doing so refusing a Holy, Religious or Just War;
Being Merciful;
Forgiving;
Dying;
Defeating Death, Hades and the Grave;
Emptying Hades;
Resurrecting.
That’s how Father does life, not like Cain, but more like Abel, with his own change in reaction: forgiveness, not vengeance.

Jesus took what you deserve … Really??
When people say “Jesus took what you deserve.” Really? At what age does a person deserve to be flogged and nailed to a cross? 7 years old? 10? No? How about the dreadful “age of accountability”? 12? So a 12 year old kid deserves to be flogged and nailed to a cross? No? How about 90? Does a kindly old lady deserve to be flogged and nailed to a cross? At what age do you deserve this? This is not how the atonement works nor is it what the early church believed about the cross. Also, people who say “Jesus took what you deserve” usually say you deserve eternal conscious torment, but being flogged and crucified is not eternal conscious torment, so there’s another wrench thrown in the spokes of that whole paradigm. At some point when you start actually thinking about this stuff, you start realizing none of it makes sense and you go running back to the early church fathers for a dose of some better news about the gospel.

Where healing is found
WHERE HEALING IS FOUND
I ran into a friend the other day. There was no collateral damage, lol. I started this article with a spot of levity as a contrast to the deeply serious topic I want to discuss: UNHEALED BODIES & UNANSWERED PRAYERS.
I just took a deep gulp and asked if we must write about this, to which Jesus responded, “Oh yes, there are some who need it.”
● To bake a cake, you’ve got to collect the right ingredients and put the correct amounts in, in the right order, stir appropriately and cook for the right amount of time. Otherwise you’ll encounter failure. Even a man can follow these simple instructions, if he wants to!
● My friend, whom I alluded to above, unloaded his life’s concerns, and they were pretty scary. He carries a lot of anger and sadness around wherever he goes. He prays, he praises and he reads his Good Book. He’s glad he has a nice job but feels the boss should be tarred and feathered. His marriage is okay but his wife is a problem. And he can’t understand why Jesus won’t heal his long-standing illness. He goes to church and he’s even reading a book about more effective praying. He’s at the end of his rope and fit to be tied!
● How in the world does he believe he has made himself receptive to healing? He has sabotaged his every attempt! He’s ignored every directive, if he’s even read them at all. Maybe now he would like to put a little paint thinner into the mix, to make it smoother!
● To make a cake or pursue a healing, you need to read the instructions carefully and follow them to a tee. Nothing less is indicated. Especially the one about cooking on low heat, for a full hour.
● When you’ve obeyed all the instructions, then DO NOT DISTURB your healing-in-progress. Don’t talk about it or otherwise sabotage your former declarations of perfection over it. It’s critical to understand that you have the power to nullify all the good that you previously accomplished.
● HEALING IS DECEPTIVELY SIMPLE. It is ourselves who make it seem otherwise.
● All that is needed is for us to take our feeble grasp of the things of God to the next realm – the place where healing is the norm and all prayers are answered.
