Thoughts
We have to be 100% fully consciously monitoring our thoughts regarding what we are seeing from this vantage point. We are going to be bombarded with the usual lies,
only this time we are going to see those lies and demons.
Sorry to tell you but our enemy has infiltrated our own inner circle. Many of those trusted faces around the boardroom table of our inner thoughts are traitorous. No matter how long those valued friends (our own thoughts) have been with us, we cannot trust them.
There is only one way for us to see the Truth of The Bride, and her dominance over all things, and that is to walk back into our own boardroom, and trust NOTHING.
Our old friends, those feelings, beliefs, hopes, interests, ambitions and good intentions, loves and hates , to name just a few, of countless, we have thousands of them, for heavens-sake they make up who we are, they are us aren’t they?
There are absolutely thousands and thousands of them, like little building blocks that shape who we are and what makes us tick. Unfortunately because of the numbers we have had to delegate and put in place department managers to be responsible for the fine details of the comings and goings of our thoughts. It is not possible to personally scrutinize every little sound and thought that comes our way. These trusted managers are the ones who do this job, and we see them sitting around our boardroom table.
It was not our fault, we are not to blame, we have always served The Lord Jesus, we have Loved Him since that very first day when we gave Him our lives. He is, and will always be the Love of our lives. Our hearts will always be eternally grateful beyond words for what He has done for us.
As soon as we were born again, we fed whenever we could, milk at first, and then solids, we eagerly and innocently guzzled down every spiritual morsel that we were fed, blind to the ‘Trojan Horse’ we were welcoming in.
Growing stronger and stronger, oblivious to the microorganism that was being deliberately and purposefully smuggled into our inner Spirit man, the blocks were so small they were not detected in the solids or the milk, and Gods ministers also unaware of what they were unwittingly administering to their flock.
How were we to know that one tiny unnoticeable building block, a thought, a ‘LIE’, no bigger than an atom was being smuggled in past a sleepy manager, tiny amounts but very regularly. One tiny block on top of another tiny block day after day, like single brushstrokes on a canvas backdrop in a theatre, which in time paints a scene unrecognizable as the truth.
We could not have possibly noticed what was happening to us.
But it has, and we find ourselves in the most extraordinary illusion,
a deception so staggering
it is beyond words.
The one advantage we do have however is…. we have experience, whereas the ‘lost’ could have no concept of a deception of this magnitude, we on the other hand are well aware of our enemy's ability to deceive us on a grand scale, we remember oh so well, how we were blinded by ‘this world’, so deceived, before our eyes were opened for us by the Spirit of Truth, and the revelation of the truth of Jesus and our spiritual man.
Before we were ‘born again’ and learned the truth, and saw the unseen, we had to be brave and by faith we stepped out into the unknown and unseen, and this is exactly what we have to do reguarding our oneness in Christ.
Exactly the same principles apply to everything, only this time it’s not you and me that is going to be ‘born again’, but The Bride Herself.
Of course that is not possible, so we won’t see it.
But if we believe and walk in faith that we are one, we will see it all, and then we will recognize each brush stroke, and marvel at how we used to believe
in our own division as reality.
