Beyond Faith
-1998-

Believers of God from all Religions or "Faiths", as some prefer to be known, are now facing a time where to believe and to trust is not enough. We have not appropriated enough of His essence to project us into the next phase of existence on this plane, only enough to try and maintain it, and at this stage of our evolution, to maintain what we have without advancing is to lose ground. I know that it is prudent to maintain what you have but you also must move with what you have less stagnation and passivity set in. We must not be like the foolish and unwise virgins, nor let the Laodicean spirit of this age have free course in our life. We cannot become as our predecessors and not take advantage of the open door before us. We cannot afford to choose not to take advantage of what could have already been acquired even with the limited amount of knowledge and awareness that we now possess. Sitting and waiting for something to happen is not faith, it is passivity . To have faith is to rely on your beliefs until you can acknowledge what you are believing for by the absolution of knowing and experiencing it . Passivity is to sit and wait for something to happen that would motivate you to keep on believing, instead of being motivated to make something happen yourself.

Even though some of us have journeyed past the bonds of Christian and religious doctrine, the depth at which these bonds exist has caused us to still be subjected to the same reactions that held us in bondage as beforehand. This continues because we have to get beyond religion and doctrine and purge ourselves from the conditioning of humanity as a whole. It is impossible to please God in the flesh. This doesn't mean that we are forever bound by the limitations of this flesh which our spirits are encased in. What it means is that we determine our existence by the essence of our spirit instead of the conditioning and limitations of the flesh.

The roll call of faith is filled with men of God that have gone before us of whom the scriptures state that we are not worthy to be numbered with. They have moved on in their journey to other planes without seeing and experiencing the things that are now being made available to us. These are those times which the old men dreamed of and the young men saw visions about. They shared these experiences with us through the written or spoken word, and through spiritual impartation and revelation. There is a time and place in eternity where the Sons take the throne and rule and reign with the Father. A time when the past, present and future merge in a fusion of God's energy that causes the promises from the past to explode into the fulfillment of the present and continues on throughout eternity.

It is easier to sustain a religion or a faith by having an unattainable goal which requires a blind obedience without a working faith that produces results. It keeps you in bondage with that old "pie in the sky" mentality that causes you to accept delay and non- fulfillment as part of God's plan and purpose. This is done to assure that those in "power" keep their followers imprisoned in an aura of dullness rather then to believe and come into knowing that every promise in the book belongs to us and it is ours to be had right now, Jehovah Jirah.

This does not apply only to the false shepherd, but to the false sheep as well. They willingly allow themselves to be suppressed and restrained so that they will have an excuse for not having to face God on their own. Having faith for someone is believing to see the will of God fulfilled in their life. Having patience with someone is enduring their life process until it reaches its own conclusion. A son of God takes faith that his gifts will expedite the establishing of His kingdom on this plane. A false son uses his gifts to enhance his existence on this plane; such as Judas and Balaam.

Having faith for something is to take what has been made real to you that you have not seen, yet believe without an expiration date or time limit until it comes to past. It is to believe without limitation or boundary -- to believe that what has been promised will be fulfilled in the course of God's timing or through the intervention of our prayers and intercession.

"I believe, help my unbelief". This makes our personal relationship with God the only way that we can see our life quest be fulfilled. It can only be fulfilled by each and every one of us having and sustaining a personal relationship with God. Interdependent with others who have this same pursuit, yet independent of a need to rely on or be sustained by each others humanity. We have been taught to look for the second coming when all along it has been us. I can't believe that the one who I have been waiting on all this time is me. It is also the same for you. The redemption and redeemer that we have waited for us has already come and is in us.

Beyond faith is to take what has been promised but not yet seen and bring it into a relative working manner on this plane through your eternal connection with the Father and the proper linking with the eternal forces of His will.

The difference between just having faith and walking in sonship can be compared to Elisha, who had enough faith to believe that when Elijah would be caught up that he would receive a double portion. After Elijah was caught up it was time where Elisha could either continue to just have faith and wait for something to happen, or do as he did after crying out "My father, my father the Chariots of Israel"! . It has always been stated in a manner where all of the attention was being focused on Elijah being caught up in a whirlwind. Now we must start to see the importance of Elisha's transition from just having faith, to adding works or action with his faith; which creates sonship. We must duplicate the impartation which came from being in the presence of God that created his permanent transition into sonship. Not having known God on the level that Elijah had, he subsequently addressed God in his initial encounter as "where is the God of Elijah?" However from the moment he channeled the energies of God for the first time as a son in what we refer to as the miracle of the ax head, he changed. From that moment on he has been united with the Father in a oneness that never caused him to relate to God from a third party situation ever again. This once again highlights the importance of our pursuit of a personal relationship with God. Even after he crossed over, the synergism of his oneness with God and the eternal existence of the energy of a oneness with God caused a person who was dropped into his tomb as a dead man to be revived.

There is nothing wrong with having faith, its just that faith without works is dead. The works are the actions we take along with our faith that is not content with just believing , but to have the corresponding action that causes things to happen right now. The faith that the son of man will find on his return will be the faith that has been created by the union of the sons with the Father because of our personal relationship with Him. Faith by itself leaves an option for delay -- Sonship causes absolution because it aligns you with the ability to only do the things that we see the Father do, and only speak the things we hear the Father say. To have faith is the permissive will of God -- Sonship is the perfect will of God.

Faith overcomes, sonship conquers and eliminates. Beyond faith is the Kingdom, beyond faith is sonship. By faith we pursue a personal relationship with God, sonship is the completion of that pursuit Faith is the victory that overcomes the world, Sonship is the vehicle that ushers in the kingdom.

It is placement not position. You can take faith to be a son, but only God can and does place us in the body as He pleases. Many are called but few are chosen. Being called can get you threw the door. Being chosen will seat you at His right hand. A position is to desire a place other than what God has for you. To be placed is to be set in the body according to God's will and plan for your life. It is to be aligned in the eternal synergism of God's essence and omnipotence along with the rest of God's elemental's and terrestrials that make up His creation. Faith is like manna. Faith will get you to the Kingdom, sonship will assure you entrance. Faith without fulfillment has caused some of God's people to fall away because their faith was based on position not fulfillment. Faith is not a duel to the death with negativity and unbelief. It is a building block for sons during their incubation period between the time of just believing and -- coming into really knowing. To just believe does not always make things happen. This is why a lot of your so-called ministries of faith or faith healers end up disappearing off the scene. You can take faith to see something happen or to get something started, but it takes the application of sonship to bring it to pass.

Our quest is for sonship, our goal is His perfect will, our joy is to worship him in spirit and in truth, our reason for existing is to bring forth his Kingdom on earth and every other dimension, as it is in Heaven.
