One last leap -  Into resurrection life

For the  believer the scriptures can appear to be perplexing and seem always at "arms distance".   Paul speaks that you are blessed with every spiritual blessing, yet, from the looks of things, there are many times when every thing else points to the opposite.   The scriptures speak of ruling and reigning with Christ, of releasing all of creation from futility by the glorious liberty of the Sons of God.   The scriptures go on and on, presenting promise after promise, reality according to God's viewpoint, yet lacking within our own personal application.  It would appear that the New Testament is a book of dichotomies, saying one thing, yet your life?s appearance presenting another reality all together.

The last frontier to be conquered in the pursuit of resurrection life and attaining the goal of sonship, lies within the deep recesses of the carnal mind. Many have died in the faith, having seen from a distance the promise, but not being able to possess it.

To those of us upon whom the ends of the ages have come lies a great responsibility and honor; that of breaking the tape in this race, breaking the mortality barrier.

For many it is just easier to act as though the Bible does not teach or present such mind numbing truths - for how does one enter into such a great high calling?

If it is any comfort to you, Christ accomplished it all when He died on the cross. When He said, "It is finished", it was indeed finished. From that point He sat down at the right hand of the Father to reign until all of His enemies be set beneath His feet.

Is God going to do something more for us to bring us into these precious and wonderful promises? Perhaps there is something on His itinerary yet that will initiate such a sovereign moving of God, that we can all just relax and be "caught up". That could happen, but I don?t think I will hold my breath for it. I believe there is an initiative God is looking for, the type of initiative spoken of in the book of Matthew....."The Kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force."

So if He is looking for us to take the initiative, it would be nice if we knew just where that initiative was to be placed. Thank you Lord for showing us the map, we see the destination, it looks pretty nice. Those cities in the heavenly Jerusalem look great, I see them clearly Lord, but the highway to get there is just a bit fuzzy. Can you redraw that line again Lord? Surely someone must have walked this path before...is there anyone up there that can tell me how to do this thing I am called to do? That?s the problem, if a problem it is - for no one has walked this way before.....the prophets of old looked at this day with longing, they saw it from afar, but knew that they would not be the ones to break the tape.

Oh thou worm Jacob, thou shalt rise up and take a prey. O little flock, it is the Father?s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.   OK, that is great. Thank you Lord, I do accept. But the path is still a little hazy. Lord, give me a clue....

And the best clue that seems to present itself concerns the duality of the carnal mind, for God has already given us everything, but why have we not possessed it. If we consciously believe, then where is what I call the "cross-out" coming from. Something within me must be negating the very act of belief that I have. I believe, but there must be something within, that does not fully believe. For the scripture states, If you ask, believing, it shall be done unto you.  That is, if you ask----without wavering.

And so we come to the focus of this short word, we have not realized that there are two aspects of the mind that co-exist simultaneously, the conscious and the sub-conscious.

The problem does not lie within the conscious mind, assuming we believe to the best of our ability in what we are about, but the problem lies deep within the sub-conscious mind, the 90% that we are not aware of. It is said that man uses upwards of maybe 5% to 8% of his mind. Where is the other 92%? Buried deep in the sub-conscious.

When Adam sinned in the Garden, and was cast out of the Garden, a veil came down and separated Adam from his relationship to the Father, and his ability to exist in the spiritual world. Leaving the garden and the advent of a veil of separation was far more reaching than most realize, because it was at that point that the sub-conscious mind was created. Until then, Adam was able to use his mind, every faculty that was given to him by God. It must have been incredible. Yet with the advent of sin, man?s separation from God was more involved than a mere walk in the Garden. And ever since then man has been subject to the power of his subconscious, never understanding fully who or what was pulling his chain.

It is time to understand that since birth you have been subliminally conditioned. Your subconscious has been conditioned to the realities (or illusions would be better stated) of this world. Your belief system has incorporated all of the limitations of this age, and the sterility of deadness that exists in the earth today.

To break the tape, and finish the course, you will have to recondition your subconscious mind, until you will be as one man, in unison, both conscious and subconscious, able to create whatever you ask or think, because there will not be the dark recesses of unbelief and negative conditioning existent within the subconscious.

Over the next several weeks we will begin to post further articles that will be step by step guidelines you can use to begin to change this course we have all been on as humans. It is time to enter the supernatural, but it will only be done by a people who have control of all of their faculties, who do not harbor the pure and unpure. Whose thoughts are consistent with their faith.  Whose subconscious is in complete agreement with his conscious mind.

Joshua was commanded by God to meditate on His word day and night. And by that he would prosper. Now God is pretty scientific,  yet He chose not to elaborate with Joshua just what was happening to him when he meditated day and night. But I will venture to say this, that as Joshua meditated, day and night, upon the word, that word sunk so deep, deep into the subconscious, and literally reprogrammed any other way of thinking that he might have. And Joshua, both conscious and subconscious, fully believed that word.

Do many of you recall Smith Wigglesworth. A tremendous man of faith. Yet, when first learning to read, and I believe throughout most of his life, he refused, after learning to read, to read anything but the Bible. Sounds rather radical, however, Smith realized that he wanted nothing to enter his mind but the word of God. Something within him understood this principle of the subconscious mind. And I will tell you this, the power lies not within the 10% conscious mind, but the power lies within the 90% subconscious mind.
