A Christmas Message

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:” (Col 1:27)

This Christmas why not consider the meaning of this “Christ in you” and the role that you play during this season? While we celebrate the birth of Jesus, who brought to the world the Light of Christ, he celebrates the birth of Christ, the Light, in you. After all, isn’t that why he came, isn’t that how he is Saving us? What is this Christ that it may be “formed in you” (Gal 4:19)? Jesus showed us and demonstrated this Christ but he told us that we are also that Christ; “ye are the light of the world” (Mat 5:14). The passages that I am quoting are from the King James Version of the Bible and they “stand alone” in their meaning. I am not trying to make them say anything, but when brought together in one place their meaning is amplified.

Christ is the Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity. Christ is the Light out of whom all of the creation came forth. "God is a consuming fire" (Deu 4:24 and Hbr 12:29) and "God is light" (1 John 1:5). We were created in the “image” and “likeness” of God (Gen 1:26). All of the creation is composed of the Light of God's Christ which is self-luminous, innately intelligent, conscious energy. Christ is that Light "that was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." (John 1:9)

Christ is the Light, a Spirit of Truth, “the Spirit of his Son” (Gal 4:6) which dwells within every son and daughter of God, every child of the Light (1 Th 5:5). We are all "members in particular” (1 Cor 12:27) in the one Spiritual Body of Christ which is a Body of Spiritual Light. "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." (1 John 3:2) "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father." (Gal 4:6) That Spirit is a Flame of God’s Fire that burns within our Heart of hearts, like the burning bush that burned but was not consumed (Exd 3:2). That Flame is a Trinity in a Unity, a Threefold Flame of Power (Blue, Father), Wisdom (Yellow, Son), and Love (Pink, Holy Spirit). It is also called the Holy Christ Flame. This is where we commune with the Christ Flame that is Jesus (he is no longer a flesh and blood man but a Spirit, a Flame of God). "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." (Rev 3:20) He will come into the Holy Christ Flame within our Heart of hearts and help us expand and intensify that Flame until it engulfs our entire body, as it did Jesus, so that we will be “endued with power from on high.” (Luk 24:49).

"Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness." (1 Th 5:5) "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;" (Rom 8:16-17) “My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you," (Gal 4:19) "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:" (Phl 2:5) When we have that Mind of Christ, because Christ has been “formed” in us, then we are transformed into “a new creature” (2 Cor 5:17) by the Light of that Christ. “The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.” (1 Cor 15:47). Therefore when Christ is Come Again in the Flesh through YOU, you will then be the fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecy: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and GREATER works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” (John 14:12). “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.” (John 16:23-28) "...I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." (John 20:17)

"But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother." (Mat 12:48-50) "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning." (John 15:26-27) We were all together in that One Body of Christ Light in the Beginning and we shall all be there in the Ending when we shall all have "put on Christ" (Gal 3:27) and become that Christ in the fullness of the Word.

May Christ be born in the creche of your heart this Christmas and may the angels and the heavenly host rejoice and sing hosannas that Christ is come again into the earth through you. (Luke 2:13-14)

Why We Should Forgive and What Happens If We Don't

Many people do not understand what forgiveness is all about. They think: "why should I forgive someone who has hurt me or a loved one; especially if they are not sorry for what they did and have not asked for forgiveness". We do not forgive necessarily for their sake, but for our sake so that we are no longer bound to them nor they to us. The lack of forgiveness or non-forgiveness is a major reason why many do not advance on the Spiritual Path. It is ALL about ENERGY; God's energy. God is an ineffable High Frequency Consciously Intelligent fount of Energy that has been described as "a consuming fire" (Deu 4:24, Hbr 12:29) and we were created in the image and likeness of God (Gen 1:26). That energy has also been described as Light (1 John 1:5). The Light is the emanation of the Son (Sun) of God which we call Christ. All of the creation is formed from that Light (Christ) which is self-luminous, innately intelligent, conscious energy. We are energetic beings composed of that Light (John 1:9). Earth is a school room, a laboratory for the soul to experiment with God's Energy and to learn to use it correctly. When we make mistakes in the use of that energy we put a negative spin on it which turns it to darkness. "Energy veiled" in darkness is evil and therefore Jesus made the statement:

Mat 6:23 "But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"

We call that evil, darkened energy "sin". It carries a negative vibration which makes that energy no longer buoyant and joyous but heavy and grievous. Now God understands that we are learning and that we will make mistakes. He therefore provided a way to transform that negative energy of sin back into light. A major part of that "way" is FORGIVENESS. When we forgive ourselves and others, God is also forgiving us of those things that we may not even be aware of that are burdening us. If we do not forgive ourselves and others then God may not forgive us (Mat 6:14-15). We must learn to work WITH, not AGAINST, God.

Remember that "God is a consuming fire". There are many frequencies of that fire which perform specific actions. Those various frequencies give coloration to that fire which forms the Bands of the Rainbow. The physical rainbow that was shown to Noah after the flood was a reminder to his soul of his home in God. The fire of God that relates to Forgiveness is the Violet Flame. The Violet Flame is God's Universal Solvent and Cosmic Eraser which also has the qualities of Mercy, Forgiveness, Freedom and Liberty. When we call upon the Law of Forgiveness we are calling upon the Sacred Ritual of God's Violet Flame to perform its Alchemical Transmutation upon that misused energy so that it can be liberated from the negative patterns and matrices that has it locked into a negative form.

God gave to us his sacred name, I AM THAT I AM or I AM, as a testament and memorial forever (Exd 3:14-15). His name unlocks his power when it is spoken. Because the kingdom of God is within us (Luke 17:21), when we say "I am" we are really saying "God in me is" and therefore we were cautioned to not take God's name in vain (Exd 3:20). God is a multiplier of himself and his self is fiery energy. When we pronounce God's name we are invoking his conscious energy into action. If we say negative things like: "sick, tired, poor, stupid, a sinner, unworthy, etc, etc) then God amplifies those qualities in us. That is why Jesus only said positive things like: "I am the way" (God in me is the way), "I am the truth" (God in me is the truth), "I am the life" (God in me is the life), "I am the resurrection" (God in me is the resurrection). We can and should be "wise as serpents and harmless as doves" (Mat 10:16) and do as Jesus did. We can take this one step further and Affirm God in us as the action of his Violet Flame by saying, with great love and faith, "I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires". Thus we are saying, in a simple and easy to repeat form: "God in me is the action of his merciful and forgiving violet flame transforming my darkness into light so that, God in me is the purity God desires". We can also say: "John is a being of violet fire, John is the purity God desires" or "Jane is a being of violet fire, Jane is the purity God desires" or name any person, place, condition or thing in the same manner saying "the earth is a planet of violet fire, the earth is the purity God desires", "my heart is an organ of violet fire, my heart is the purity God desires".

Desire means Deity Sires. We must watch our desires and ensure that they are the desires of God to do good and prosper his creation and not selfish desires which distort God's purpose and intent for the creation which end up placing burdens upon ourselves and the planet.
