One of my greatest encounters in the "Miracle of CommunionFire"

It was 2014 during a CommunionFire encounter with Jesus while having Communion with my wife Camille in our home. Dining with the Lord upon the bread He calls His flesh, therefore so do I, I saw Jesus in a n octagonal library room that for some reason made me think is this what the rooms in the Library of Congress look like? It was austere and made of 8 walls and a doorway, probably a study room for privacy from the public. Perhaps 10-12 feet high and at 10oclock from where I saw the Lord, the door was open inviting sunlight from another entry/exit door to the outdoors. The light cascaded down the steps probably because the sun was just where it needed to be.

As I took drink of the wine that had become His precious blood, again through the miracle He invites us all to participate in, I felt the fire of His passion transfusing into my bloodstream to quicken me to become the righteousness of God in Christ. He had become sin for me that I might become a partaker of His divine nature.

As I waited for a moment I saw coming from the staircase a scroll surfing on the rays of light from the sunbeam. As it entered the room above our heads it unfurled and out fell the person of a young woman. She stood next to her Son Jesus and Jesus introduced me to His Mother, the Holy Virgin Mary!

About 5 Months later the same vision repeated itself as Camille and I share the Table of the Lord together. It was early morning and this time from the scroll came Saint Peter, Saint Ephraim of Syria, Holy Mother Mary and Saint Joseph. As they stood with Jesus across from me, Mary spoke to me directly for the very first time. She looked at me and with a gentle smile in a soft and caring voice said, "Bob, be bold." That was it and I felt almost translated into a new dimension of faith. About 8 months later I began to go on an evening prayer walk to pray the Rosary. That was almost 3 years ago now on June 20th 2015 and I still take my evening prayer walks praying the Rosary every night. I have to say of a truth, I now know my Savior more personally and intimately because I have met His Mother who now has become my Mother in Christ and my Queen of heaven who is preparing the Bride for her Son.

BLESSED: Part Five - Simeon & Anna's Witness

5/28/2016

Anna, Simeon, Jesus Mary and Joseph

All the glories of the Annunciation; The Visitation from the Throne of God in Heaven by ArchAngel Gabriel to Mary, Joseph and Elizabeth; the visit of Mary and Fetus Jesus to Elizabeth and Fetus John; The Filling of the Spirit of John in the womb, Elizabeth upon Mary's greeting and the comes the prophecy of Simeon and the first of The Seven Sorrows of Mary.

Why my emphasis on Mother Mary in this series?

Because Mary spoke with me about being bold when I would speak of her to my Orthodox, Roman Catholic and non-catholic friends! "Bob, Be Bold!" She has told me this on two different occasions during CommunionFire.

The only other time I heard her say anything was to her Son in this morning's Communion!

Note

While partaking of the Bread of Jesus' Holy and Glorious Flesh, I thought, "Lord this bread is crunchy like the skin roasted on the brazen altar! He said, "grind each piece you can between your teeth, because every time my Body is broken it releases more revelation for you to feed upon. "Oh, taste and see the Lord is good!"

The physical flesh was broken in Jesus Body for the sickness of sin and all our guilt, shame and condemnation. He bore our griefs and carried our sorrows and we esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God. The Lord had laid on Him the iniquity of us all. By His stripe we are healed. The physical actions of Jesus for the total purchase of our salvation and redemption cost Him His natural life, but death could not hold Him. After descending into hell stripping Satan of the keys of sin, hell and death - Jesus rose victorious over death. he was resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Paul tells us that the same Spirit that raise Jesus from the dead dwells in us. It is by "doing this" as Jesus invited, that we become aware that we are the full beneficiaries of all that Jesus. By partaking at his table through the gift of Communion, we encounter the resurrected, ascended, glorified Jesus Christ. We feed not on His mortality but on His immortality. We feed not on death but on the resurrection. We sit and present our bread and wine to Him. He takes it, blesses it, breaks it and returns it. When He does our spiritual eyes are opened and our spiritual ears are opened. We encounter the Lord Jesus Christ by His Spirit. He has something prepared for us every time we do. Now, when we eat physically temporal is replaced by eternal, death is replaced by life, sickness is replaced by healing, health and wholeness; physically, mentally and emotionally. the spirit is transformed from glory to glory - that is one revelation after another. In His glory we are transformed from one degree of glory to another.

Without him we are nothing. We are sinful and separated from God. None is righteous no, not one. Anyone who says they have no sin is deceived and the truth is not in them. If we do not dine on His flesh and drink His blood we have no life in us.

BUT

If you believe, all things are possible. When we receive Jesus, we receive eternal life and the promise that He will raise us upon the last day. It is no longer us that lives, but Christ that lives in us. When we dine with Him we come empty and leave full to overflowing with new revelation or His glory, love, life, truth, friendship, healing, kindness... so as I ate the Bread of His glorified flesh:

I saw His face as He quickly looked to the right at His Mother (and our Mother), Mary.

Jesus said, with a loud voice! "Hail Holy Queen!" With a big smile.

Then I drank in the wine of His divine and holy Blood:

Immediately, I saw Mary respond head bowed to the right and a little away from Him and I heard her say, "Aw, Go on." While grinning some with a shyness of humility.

About The Seven Sorrows
of the Blessed Virgin Mary
From The Catholic Book of KNOWLEDGE Volume Two

"Mary, our Mother, is also Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows. More than any other human person she shared in the Passion of her Divine Son. That is why she has been given the title of Co-redemptrix.

When we commit sin, we bring sorrow to Our Lady, for she is our Mother, our spiritual Mother, and she watches over us as she watched over her Baby, nearly two thousand years ago.

It is the desire of Jesus that we should think of His Passion, to offer Him our sympathy, and to renew our sorrow for offending Him by sin. It is also His desire, as the Church makes clear to us, that we should think of the compassion of His Mother, her sharing in His Passion."

(At the end of this post I have listed the Seven Sorrows for you.)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

21 And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb. (The Orthodox church believes it was *40 days from birth to dedication)

22 And after the days of her purification, according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord: 23 As it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord: 24 And to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons:

Simeon Prophecies About Mary & Jesus

Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.

26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.

27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:

29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss your servant in peace.
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.”

33 The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him.

34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed.

And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

There was also a prophet, Anna, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 and then was a widow until she was eighty-four.

She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.

38 Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.

Joseph, Anna Mary Jesus and Simeon

* When Jesus was forty days old, Mary and Joseph took Him to the Temple in Jerusalem. They were not wealthy, so they took two turtle doves with them to offer as a sacrifice at the Temple. As they arrived at the Temple, Mary and Joseph were met by a very old man named Simeon.

(Isaiah 61:1-11; Matthew 2:19-23; Matthew 13:53-58; Mark 6:1-6; Luke 4:16-30)

39 And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their city Nazareth. 40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was in him.

Mary's Tears for Jesus Suffering and Yours

The Seven Sorrows of Mary

First Sorrow - The Prophecy of Simeon
Sorrow as sharp as a sword shall pierce Mary’s heart because of her Child. Mary is in the Temple. She has come with Joseph to present the Child to God. They meet Simeon, the holy man, and Anna, the prophetess. Simeon takes the baby in his arms, saying now he will die in peace because he has seen Christ. Then he foretells the sorrow to come.

Second Sorrow - The Flight into Egypt
Soon the sword of sorrow strikes. Herod the King seeks to kill the Child. Warned in sleep by an angel, Joseph takes the Child and His Mother and sets out for Egypt. “Why should men want to hurt my darling Baby?” Mary asks herself, holding Him tightly, on the long and dangerous journey, sad at heart because all the babies in Bethlehem are to be killed on account of Jesus.

Third Sorrow - The Loss of Jesus for Three Days
When Jesus is twelve, He is taken to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. On the return journey Joseph and Mary find at the end of the first day that Jesus is not with them. Racked with anxiety they return, searching for Him. Nobody in the crowded streets, not even the beggars, can tell them where He is. Not till the third day do they find Him.

Fourth Sorrow - The Meeting of Jesus and Mary on the Way to Calvary
Mary has known fear and sorrow, but none so great as seeing her beloved Son stumbling along under the weight of the Cross. She hears the jeering shouts from the crowds and has not power to help Him. Pity and love are in her eyes as she gazes at his blood-stained face. To many around her He is no better than a criminal, and her heart is breaking as she follows Him to Golgotha.

Fifth Sorrow - The Crucifixion
With John, Mary stands at the foot of the Cross. “A sword shall pierce thy soul,” Simeon had told her. Truly her heart is pierced with sorrow. Her beloved Son is dying. She shares in His suffering. She does not ask God to take away the suffering. She is His Mother, so close to Him that His pain is her pain too. And now He speaks from the Cross. “Woman, behold thy son.” Jesus gives His Mother to John, and to us. For all eternity she is our Mother.

Sixth Sorrow - The Taking Down of the Body of Jesus from the Cross
It is over. Darkness has come down upon the world. Jesus is dead. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus take down the Body from the Cross, and Mary receives it into her arms. She is filled with a sadness that no human heart has known. This is her Son. Once she had cradled Him in her arms, listened to His voice, watched Him working at the carpenter’s bench. Now He is dead. She does not weep : her grief is too great for tears.

Seventh Sorrow - The Burial of Jesus
Hastily the Body is wrapped in a clean linen cloth. Nicodemus has brought myrrh and aloes, and the Body is bound in linen cloths with them. Nearby is a new tomb, belonging to Joseph of Arimathea, and there they lay Jesus. Mary and John and the holy women follow them. They watch them roll the great stone to the door of the tomb. It is the end.

6 Myths & 7 Truths about Communion Part 5

5/27/2016

Myth 3: Passover is a Symbolic Memorial, therefore, Communion is a Symbolic Memorial.

He manifested His Holy Mercy to all of Israel once per year at Moses Tabernacle in the WIlderness and in the Land of Promise in the more permanent Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem.

In the Old Testament ongoing ritual demanded by the Mosaic Law that the Passover Night of deliverance be celebrated as a memorial.

Passover night included 3 parts. The slaying of a one year old lamb, the painting of the lamb's blood on the doorway of each Jewish household and finally the eating of the entire lamb before morning while they stood up, wearing their sandals with their staffs in hand.

Before God gave Israel the Law from Sinai, like Abraham's visit from Melchizzadek with the Bread and Wine of the Presence of the Lord. Moses and 74 Elders met with and saw the Lord and heard Him speak halfway up Mt. Sinai. (Exodus 23-24) It was after this that Moses went up the rest of the way to receive God's commands and plans.

In the wilderness the Law demanded animal sacrifice and ritual washing in the Outer Courtyard on the Brazen Altar and
the Washing at the Laver. Inside the first room, The Holy Place (Golden Table of the Bread of His Presence that included Wine and incense; The Golden Lampstand - Menorah; and the Altar of Incense). Then once per year the High priest on behalf of all Israel, would pour out the blood of a lamb on the mercy seat to atone for their sin as His chosen people, a holy nation.

The Law also said that there would be a perpetual memorial and celebrated once per year and remembered in the weekly Sabbath. to keep it current they were to act as if they were a part of that night as a household.

Then, after King David restored the Ark of the Covenant as King of Israel, He placed it on Mount Zion where there was 33 years of open worship before the presence of the Lord. Then Solomon built The Temple where the Lord established His House for his Presence as a permanent place of remembrance and sacrifice. There is more involved in this elaborate Memorial.

The rebuilding of the Temple, the Life of Jesus and the Apostles, the Destruction of the Temple, The Diaspora, and in 1948 the restoration of Israel as a nation.

Today there is an annual march to offer up the sacrifices once per year to mark the rebuilding of the Temple. How that will happen we don't know, but in 2016 the 4 men who brought 4 goats were all arrested and taken from the Temple Mount.

That is a lot of work, focus and history for keeping one memorial alive!

None of this brings Jesus to life for us. It only points to, or foreshadows the Crucifixion. These ritualistic, law driven, types and shadows only contribute as clues God gave to point to His Son. We no longer work to remember clues - We are given the Holy Spirit to bring to mind all that Jesus did, does and says..

Truth 3: Communion is bread and wine that, when blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ, is supernaturally sanctified to become 'something else'. Jesus calls it His Flesh and Blood. It's the form He chooses to reveal Himself "as often as we do this" not as a symbolic memorial but as Himself.

Jesus makes himself known to us by the action and work of the Holy Spirit. His broken Body and Poured out Blood make a way for natural sinful men and women to encounter His Holiness and Presence as His provision of Grace to sustain us spiritually until His return.

His once and for all divine sacrifice of His perfect humanity by His own Flesh and Blood satisfied all the demands and conditions of His own Law. So, His once paid in full price of His own life for All who come to Him and believe, He is the Rewarder of every Good and Perfect Gift.

In The New Testament it is clear that Jesus has done the work that we could not and cannot do! You can't obey enough, repent enough, or be faithful enough to accomplish what Jesus accomplished in one moment of time. The crucible of our salvation was His crucifixion. The crown and glory of our salvation was His resurrection on the third day! Now we pray as He taught His disciples to pray,

"Give us today our day to day bread."

He is speaking of the day to day provision of Jesus as the bread and wine of His presence. He is revealed in the shewbread and poured out in the wine as Blood.

When we eat, we see.
When we drink, we hear
Our heart understands
We are converted in His glory
to be transformed from glory to glory
to become whole and healed from the bruises, sicknesses and diseases brought about by our separation from Him due to our sin.

Now we become His New Creation. We are rooted and grounded in His love, joy and peace. All things have becomes new! We who were dead in our trespasses and sin are born again.

That's why we "Do this to remember Him!" as He invites us to. We don't "Do this to remember Moses or Elijah - but just like on the Mount of transfiguration, The Father said to the disciples, "Hear Him!" speaking of his only begotten Son full of grace and truth.

A Most Extraordinary CommunionFire This Morning

5/27/2016

Our CommunionFire on 5/27/2016
Friday: 8am on Fairway Ridge: Jesus, Bob & Camille in the Livingroom!

Camille
Certified Royalty by his Blood

As I partook of The Bread, He said, “You are Royalty. You are part of My Royal Family!”

As I drank the Wine, He said, “This Certifies that you are!”

Bob: Eyes of DiamondFire and
Face of "Lightning" Bright Glory

When receiving Communion this past 5 months – I have occasionally been under attack by many distracting images that are vying for my attention. (The enemy’s way of trying to keep me from focusing on Jesus)

then while eating the Bread. The Lord said… “While you chew the bread and it is broken, again and again, between your teeth, Jesus said,

"Look for My face the whole time!”
(Oh! Thanks Lord, I will and I did).

When I ate the last piece I saw Him. There He was! I looked up a bit, right at His face and I saw DIAMONDS for His eyes! He said, “Eyes of fire!? Right?” I was so excited. “Yes Lord!” His eyes are so clear they are like diamonds. Diamonds with FireClarity! Jesus doesn't just look He Sees!

Then, when I had the wine, as soon as I drank,
the Holy Spirit said, “And face like lightning, right?”
Then I heard an “electricity sound” and

the Holy Spirit said the glory of His Face is so bright we compare it to lightning but it is much more powerful! It is the brightness of His love and life that you see when In Communion with Him!”

Overflow

The blood covenant is His covenant to us! This drink is His daily certification that we are Royal Family and part of His Royal Priesthood.

I cannot covenant with Him and I cannot covenant with you.
Those covenants are bound for failure. When we have a choice we, in our own strength,
it seems we are incapable of making the right decision.
It seems we always choose badly!

But when we rest in His Covenant, the Covenant of His Blood, we rest in His fiery love, in pastures of His peace, beside the calm waters of His grace.

His love consumes us as we consume Him as The Bread and Wine of Life.

When we do, we discover more and more about the Royal Family beginning with the King. In His glory we are transformed from one degree of our awareness of His glory to another.

He is ever expanding our awareness of the hugeness and eternalness of Himself, His royal realm and His clarity of purpose!

BLESSED! Part Four: Gabriel & Zechariah

5/21/2016

Gabriel come from the Throne of Heaven with a message for Zechariah who is next to the Alter of Incense in the Holy Place

The Holy Queen of Heaven, Mother Mary, Dear Sweet Ark of the Covenant, Pillar of David and Mother of Saints, Stalwart Pillar of Ivory and Mother of Her Suffering Son, The Lord Jesus our Savior, said, "Bob, Be Bold!"

Now He's in trouble you say? No,

The Lord is calling me and all of us to His Table and those who come and receive from Him will see His face and hear His voice... and there is more... "Behold the Love of God!'

Mary filled with Grace and the Son of All Glory chooses by God's grace and mercy to share, like Angels, or like my own Mom or a prudent family member or friend wherever and whenever, as directed by the Lord.

God gives us impulses and leadings by His Spirit, through the Scriptures but after 40 years, or 80 years if you include Camille Communication from Heaven happens more through Communion at Jesus' Table.

Luke 1:5-23
Mary's Older Cousin Elizabeth and Her Husband the Priest,
Zechariah

In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron.

6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly. 7 But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.

8 Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God, 9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10 And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.

11 Then an angel of the Lord (Gabriel) appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear.

GABRIEL CONFIRMS THE MIRACLE
of ELIZABETH'S CONCEPTION

13 But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah;

Your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.

14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and

He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born.

16 He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

18 Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”

19 The angel said to him,

“I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.

20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”

21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple.

22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.

23 When his time of service was completed, he returned home.

24 After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion.

25 “The Lord has done this for me,” she said. “In these days he has shown His favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Below are Messianic Prophecies of another Man of God, the Prophet Zechariah!
Matthew 23:35

There is something going on right now. The Lord sees ALL His children as unique. special and created within His love, plan and purpose. He is excited, and passionate about this. We should be too!

Mary's simple phrase to me seems more like Motherly advice and is spoken in the kindness of an all merciful, ever interceding Queen who wants to see the Bride of her Son prepared for the wedding feast; without spot, wrinkle or blemish.

Maybe my encounters, like a billion others, have some sort of small important purpose in the overall plan of God. Jesus builds His Kingdom and will shape these living stones together as a habitation for His Glory. "Living Stones!"

(Walking in His faithfulness, believing, before you and Him and the rest of the Church. Lord, have mercy on me and friends, please pray for me. I know Jesus is right there alongside of Mother Mary!

CommunionFire is real and for all who respond to Jesus invitation to "Come!"
He is waiting for you too!

Luke 1:57-66
Elizabeth Gives Birth
to John The Baptist Six Months Before Christmas.

57 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. 58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.

59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah,60 but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who has that name.”
62 Then they made signs to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child. 63He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.” 64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God.

65 All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people were talking about all these things. 66 Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.

Luke 1:67-80
Zechariah’s Prophetic Song

67 John's father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:

68 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because

He has come to His people and redeemed them.

He Prophesies about Jesus:

69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David

70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), 71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us

72 to show mercy to our ancestors and to remember his holy covenant,

73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham:

74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear

75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

He Then Prophesies About John, His Son, God's Prophet Who Jesus Later Calls the Greatest of All Prophets

76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,

77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,

78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven

79 to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit ; and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.

BLESSED! Part Three: Gabriel's Message

5/18/2016

Saint Gabriel with a Message sent from Heaven that would change the world!

Start here: reading column one

Holy Mother, Virgin Mary Told Me, Again and Again,"Bob, Be Bold!"

Its like a constant tapping on my heart and mind. Never invasive only a gentle touch that comes with the fragrance of a heavenly rose!

Apart from all the dots that are starting to connect because of a recognition through Communion, CommunionFire and knowing our Lord and Savior also as my King, My God and my friend; I am also getting to know a grander extent of the reality and breadth of His Kingdom. Camille and my encounters with Jesus keeps us busy opening gifts of eternal life that have definition and the strength of His being Love, Truth and Goodness. Gone forever will be the days of any memory of struggle or sadness, doom and gloom and forever before us a constant unveiling of His love, life and peacefulness.

So are all members of His Kingdom, Family, Church and Bride including ArchAngels, Angels, Seraphim, Martyrs, Saints and My Dear Mother Mary, Queen of Heaven! Joseph, Father, Holy Spirit, the Apostles, Women of the Cross... Thanks Lord for surrounding us with such a great cloud of witnesses and such a great congregation of intercessors! Let it become more and more... "On earth as in Heaven!"

She looked at me lovingly and said, 'Bob, Be Bold!"

Gabriel comes from the throne of God in Heaven to earth with a message announcing an event that will forever change mankind and empower Mary with such a miracle that it alone will topple thrones and all enemies of God and His people.

How does all this prophetic information relate to Communion, CommunionFire and the Early Church, the Church today and the followers of JESUS today?

In these first 2 chapters of Luke's Gospel we see and hear the activity of heaven played out before us. There is a seeing and a hearing that has never before been seen or heard!

With two more posts to go in this series, we continue to see evidenced what happens to us by the power of the Blessed Bread of JESUS' glorified Flesh and Blessed Wine of JESUS' glorified Blood.

Heaven comes to earth through JESUS Miraculous Conception, Birth, Life, Death, Victory over Death, Resurrection, Ascension and Sending of the Holy Spirit to administrate the Grace and Glory of How Jesus appears to us until He returns. JESUS for now, is the Living and Eternal Bread of Heaven that pulls back the veil of what is temporal to give us a glimpse of Him and His Kingdom and pours into us the intoxicating essence of the wine of His eternal Blood until He drinks with us at the Wedding Feast! Alleluia!

GABRIEL AND MARY
How Heaven Would Come to Earth!
THE ANNUNCIATION

24 And after those days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself
five months, saying: 25 So, the Lord has dealt with me in these days where he has had regard to take away my reproach among men.

(This is what happens when God's plan unfolds in your life).

26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
(God's Eternal Perfect Timing)
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And the angel being come in, said unto her:

Mary (Hebrew: Miryam (Mir/yawm): means in this case: the Object of Rebelliousness! (You almost sense God raising up Mary from among the Jewish people for generations (since before time and space) to confront the rebellion of God's chosen people to provide a new and living way for the rest of mankind - her Son and the Son of God, Jesus Christ (the Logos). (Versus Mary Magdalene/Magdala for instance: who was delivered from her rebellious life to become a "castle or tower" of miraculous grace, inner circle of Jesus and close friend of John and Jesus Mother Mary. and Mary Cleopas)

"Hail (Mary), FULL of GRACE, the Lord is with you: BLESSED are you among women."
Remember: In Verse 42 Elizabeth filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out with a loud voice, and said:
BLESSED art you among women, and BLESSED is the fruit of thy womb, (Jesus).

"Among": Greek: en (a preposition) – properly, in (inside, within); (figuratively) "in the realm (sphere) of," as in the condition (state) in which something operates from the inside (within)
A Position created by God for certain instrumentality as in: "Mary, Mother of God, Mother of Jesus the Savior, Instrument of Divine Mercy, Mother of The Lord, The Virgin Miracle, The Chosen among all women of all time, Position as Mother of the Church, and Queen in the Kingdom of Heaven...

Gabriel's Greeting (In Nazareth) and Elizabeth's Prophetic Outburst 'Out in The Country', combine to provide the first two lines of the Holy Rosary!

If you place Gabriel's Greeting and Elizabeth's "Holy Ghost outburst of revelation together it goes something like this:

Gabriel begins by saying, "Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you, BLESSED are you among women"... then the Holy Spirit pick's up with Elizabeth's prophecy: "BLESSED are you among women, and BLESSED is the fruit o your womb, Jesus!"

29 Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.

30 And the angel said to her:
"Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. 31 Behold:

A) You shall conceive in your womb,
B) You shall bring forth a son;
C) You shalt call his name Jesus.

D) 32 He shall be great,
E) called the Son of the most High;
F) the Lord God shall give to him the throne of David his father;
G) He will reign in the house of Jacob for ever.
H) 33 Of his kingdom there shall be no end."

"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Isaiah 7:14

34 And Mary said to the angel:
"How shall this be done, because I know not man?" (a Virgin)

35 And the angel answering, said to her:
1) "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,
2) the power of the most High shall overshadow you.
3) And therefore the Holy which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God.

36 And behold your cousin Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren: 37 Because no word shall be impossible with God.

38 And Mary said:
Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word.

Word here is "RHEMA", God Breathed, Power to Create, Dynamic, Spoken, Living
Creative Word...

To bring forth the Word (LOGOS) incarnated as JESUS to fulfill God's plan and the Word of scripture (GRAPHE) paper and ink.

And the angel departed from her.

BLESSED! Part Two: Mother Mary's Prophetic Song

5/14/2016

At Mary's Greeting Elizabeth & John the Baptist were Filled with the Holy Spirit!

Start here reading column one

Mother Mary Told Me, Again,"Bob, Be Bold!"

What? I grew up a Methodist, went to a Quaker Friends School, was an Evangelical Crusade Organizer, Charismatic and was a Free Church Pastoral Leader as a Member of a Roman Catholic Covenant Community... while raising three children.. Bam! 42 years later while having Communion at home, I saw Mary fall from a flying scroll next to Jesus and I, in a library office I saw with my eyes closed.

She looked at me lovingly and said, 'Bob, Be Bold!"

That was the first of only two times she spoke to me. Her voice was tender, gentle and loving and she smiled caringly after she said that to me.

Jesus looked at her with such deep love. and He looked at me and nodded approvingly with His very characteristic grin of pure grace and joy. It was very humbling.

So, this is the 2nd post as part of a series on the Prophetic Moments that surrounded Mary, Elizabeth, Joseph, Zachariah, Baby John and Baby Jesus.

Luke 1:46-56
Mary’s Song
The Magnificat

And Mary said,

"My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his maidservant.

For behold, from now on all generations will call me BLESSED; for he who is mighty has done great things for me,and holy is his name.

And his MERCY is for those who fear him from generation to generation.

He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; he has brought down the mighty from their thrones

and exalted those of humble estate; he has filled the hungry with good things,

and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his MERCY, as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.

http://johnmichaeltalbot.com/

Let's Take a closer look at the message of the Holy Spirit through Mary's prophetic song.

Mother Mary has already been visited by the Angel Gabriel. She has conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit under the shadow of The Almighty. She is now the Mother of Jesus when she came to visit Elizabeth who was already 6 months pregnant with John the baptizer.

Responding to Elizabeth's Prophecy in the power of the Holy Spirit we hear Virgin Mother Mary...

(Cross-reference: 1 Samuel 2:1-11)

46 And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord. 47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48 Because he has regarded the humility of his handmaid;

for behold from henceforth
ALL generations
SHALL CALL ME BLESSED.

Do You? Do We? Who Doesn't? Who Does?

How is Mary so overlooked by women aspiring to leadership? by historic figures outside the "church"?

There is no one in history who had her measure of grace and humility (greater than all patriarchs, prophets, apostles - or any other man or woman of note) and yet she somehow has been left in the cloisters of the cloistered ones.

She is only brought out at Christmastime by non-catholic homes that is where Christ is still in Christmas.

She adorns walls of the faithful in Eastern and Western Catholic homes and Sanctuaries with pictures, prayer cards and iconic statues right next to Jesus, Joseph and so on..

But how has her leadership integrity been overlooked by the 'radical men and women of each generation? We hear her name in the devotional life of those who have Christ's love for her in their hearts?

(See Names of Mary)

49 Because he that is mighty, has done great things to me; and holy is his name.
50 And his MERCY is from generation to generation,
to them that fear him. 51 He hath shewed might in his arm: he has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. 52 He has put down the mighty from their thrones, while He has exalted the humble. 53 He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away.

By the miracle of Jesus conception, Mary becomes his first house on earth for 9 months. Then she is His family and home for another 30 years.

Give a quick thought to that spectacle. how well did Mary know Jesus? Joseph? John and Elizabeth? They didn't sit around waiting for 30 years to be up!

She was with him every step of the way for another 3 years. and she was at the foot of the Cross as He died, celebrated in the resurrection and ascension and then led the nine day prayer meeting in the upper room that resulted on Pentecost with the sending of the Holy Spirit.

By her God showed and demonstrated His mercy to the rest of the world and for every generation in the Mother of Jesus, holy and sinless life.

This Miracle is how God showed the world the Might of His Arm; how He over ruled and scattered the proud in the conceit of their imaginations and still does today and will until Jesus returns with her and all saints to rule for a thousand years..

This Miracle still as powerful as ever today is how He has, is and will: topple thrones until until every one of them is under the authority of His realm and rule and the Queen! Who is the Queen in the Kingdom? The Holy Virgin, ever loving, ever interceding Mother Mary, Queen of Heaven!

MARY IS QUIETLY VERY POWERFUL! So is St. Joseph. Mary is a Co-Intercessor with Jesus. She is and always will be, His Mother and His Queen. She is by His birth (think about that) the rightful Mother of all who are Born-again, or birthed into new and eternal life with Christ by faith!

54 He has received Israel his servant,
BEING MINDFUL of His MERCY:
55 As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.

She is also Queen of Israel, the New Jerusalem and those of the covenant of Abraham. Because of her, God says He is ever mindful of his MERCY to them! Do you begin to see why St. Pio says that The Holy Rosary is the most powerful weapon in the last days?

Jesus won the victory in Calvary we know the end of the story... and it is Holy Mary, next to Jesus that intercedes for the full manifestation of the victory until all things become new!

56 And Mary abode with her about three months; and she returned to her own house.

Wouldn't you like to think for a moment what those three months were like? You think it was heaven on earth between these ladies? What other amazing CommunionFire - like encounters did they experience? It boggles my mind.

Are you able to say with Elizabeth, "How is it that the Mother of my Lord should visit me?"

Be Bold Believe!
And Nothing shall be impossible to you!

BLESSED - Part One: Prophetic Word from Elizabeth

5/13/2016

"My Soul Magnifies the Lord and My Spirit Rejoices in God My Savior" ~ BLESSED Mary

Start here reading column one

She Told Me, Again,
"Bob, Be Bold!"

What? An Anabaptist, Southern Baptist, Non-Catholic, Charismatic-Evangelical, baseball nut and surfer dude having prayer time with the Mother of Jesus? Bam! It was like a "thunderclap and lightning" of God's grace.

Yes, and now I know her as my eternal Mom; okay, Holy Mother and also as my Queen in the Kingdom of Heaven!

The Kingdom of Heaven is a royal realm that is eternal and more real than the chair you are sitting on.

It is not meat and drink. The Kingdom of God; The Kingdom of Heaven, is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost! Right now and on into forever..

"Boldly Speaking then" is like Elizabeth when at the sound of Mary's voice was baptized in the Holy Spirit 34 years before Pentecost! When she opened her door to her young cousin Mary, she was six months pregnant with her son John (the Baptist) and Mary had just conceived the Son of God to be born the Son of man, Jesus!

This is what Mary challenged me to be bold about!

In Luke 1-3 there are no less than 7 powerful prophesies that have to do with the coming Kingdom of God, the first and second coming of King Jesus, but mostly the impact of the Virgin Mary's pregnancy on her world and every generation from then on and forever!

(By the way we have already seen the Lord bring healing and deliverance through this message! So if you have a need for healing or to break some sort of bondage in your life read and be healed and delivered, today!)

Prophecy from Elizabeth the moment Mary said Hello!

Mary Visits Elizabeth
Luke 1: 39-45

At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,
where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth.

When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting...

1) The baby leaped in her womb,

2) and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. (So was John while in her womb! luke 1:15)

3) In a loud voice she exclaimed:
"BLESSED are you among women, and BLESSED is the fruit of your womb!"

4) But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

5) As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.

6) Blessed is she who has believed

7) that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”

I think I know first hand a little bit of what happened with Elizabeth
from my "first experience" with the prophetic gift!

I remember sitting in the 3rd pew on the left side of a little bapticostal church in the spring of 1973. I had been saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit in 1971, two years earlier. As I sat there in the evening prayer service with about a dozen others, my heart began jumping inside of me.

It reminded me of the power surge I experienced the night I got saved in Manlius N.Y.

Then my stomach churned... I started to feel faint like I did when I got baptized in the Spirit in a Towson State University men's laundry room.

It was my first prophetic utterance and I thought I would 'keel over' under the mighty hand of God when I stood up with Boldness, and declared, gushed out and proclaimed a prophetic message in the prayer meeting!

"Whew!" It was a power-filled moment where I knew that the Holy Spirit had quickened me and filled my mouth with a word from the Lord! I spoke loudly mostly because it was like a volcanic eruption from deep within me!

I exploded with the sound of prophetic utterance! So did Elizabeth! But her words are now part of Scripture.

Not nearly the same measure as Elizabeth who was perhaps the first to be used to declare the word of the Lord through the charismatic operation of the Holy Spirit. But it was the same Holy Spirit then as it was for me in 1973 and today!

continue to the top of column two
++++++++++++++

So let's take a slow
purposeful look at what
was going on with the Mother of John and the Mother of Jesus!

Mary had a visitation and so did Zachary, John's Dad. Both Zachary's wife, Elizabeth, was pregnant as was her youthful cousin Mary.

Both pregnancies were miraculous. John was destined to become the greatest of all prophets and Jesus was born in obscurity as Savior, King of kings and Lord of lords.

Mary had become "The Ark of the Covenant" running through the countryside. She was carrying the presence of Almighty God within her. She felt compelled to share this news with her cousin Elizabeth because the angel gave Mary insight about her older cousin Elizabeth as well.

Jesus, before that name, was called "The Logos" among other names Yahweh, Elohim, Jehovah and others. He was and is and will always be The Word of God. All biblical events had issued from Him were by Him and are about Him!

Not just the Bible as paper and ink graphite Word of God, but also the full human manifestation of the Son of God, through Mary and the very breath of God, the wind of the spirit or the God-Breathed Word of God. (Graphe = Bible, Logos=Jesus as the Word made flesh who dwelled among us and Rhema, as in the very breath of God's spoken word by the Holy Spirit.) These are Greek words used in the Septuagint.

So, when Elizabeth opens the door (Revelation 3:20) she allows Jesus "into her house".

The moment she hears the Spirit filled greeting of Mary by the power of Jesus inside her womb, Elizabeth feels John jumping inside her for joy and they are both immediately filled with the Holy Spirit.

Luke 1:15 "For he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born."

Later her son John would preach, "I baptize with water, but there is one mightier than I who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with Fire!"

Jesus did this even as a heaven-sent fetus, as a Son to be born to Mary, Joesph and God and as Son of God! 100% God and 100% Man.

The power of God was now in Elizabeth in the presence of Jesus! The Spirit upon her, she couldn't help herself.

She shouted with the power of God rising up within her,

"BLESSED are you among women!
BLESSED is the fruit of your womb!"

What? Only one quick moment had passed since she was baptized in the Holy Spirit! This prophecy became the first two stanzas in The Rosary that Calls on Mary as prayer partner of Jesus, her Son and the Saints - those redeemed as the Bride of Christ, the Church and Israel!

Then she says something absolutely startling!

"Why am I so favored that The Mother of my Lord should come to me!?"

Do you see what Cousin Elizabeth said?
She didn't say. "I'm so lucky that Mary came over because I was so bored."
She declared her lowliness in humility because she knew by the Spirit what was really taking place!

She called this 13-15 year old girl, named Mary, her cousin,
The Mother of her Lord!
She wondered out loud - "Why am I so favored that she should come to me? For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears the baby in my womb leaped for joy! (Was baptized in the Holy Spirit!)

Then how about this?

BLESSED is (Mary) she who has believed... That the Lord would fulfill His promises to her!

So Elizabeth prophecies about Mary 's continued state of the fullness of Grace and that what God had begun, He would also complete. She prophesied that this faith was unlike any other. It is BLESSED! It is a kind of believing that designates God to be the Author and Finisher of her story as a critical part of His Salvation Story!

She recognizes that a new platform has been established in the earth. It is a miracle that has been planned since before the foundation of the world! 'Jesus was the assigned member of the Godhead to become the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world because God's love required it. God so loved the world that He gave...

6 Myths and 7 Truths about Communion Part 4

5/9/2016

Myth 2: "truth" in this world
is based on the quality or state of being true... verity, sincerity, candor, honesty What is true, according to fact or reality.

We are destined to let others, even other believers, become the authors of our story. Our story as believers or non-believers becomes, at best 2nd hand, 3rd hand, 4th hand, etc... You may try to be the author but usually it is others' influence that moves our hand. in this case of temporal truth, there may be eternal consequences no matter how good your argument is.

Jesus is Truth.

When we are in personal Communion with Him, it is a first hand encounter with His Fire, His love, His passion for us.

His love is so powerful we just lay down in His green pastures of His grace and He writes the story.

We become like a pen in His hand where the paper is the bread and the wine is the ink. He shares His life as the only eternal Truth and His love as the only power of the universe.

It's where the veil of the temporal realities of this life are torn down or parted like the curtains on a stage to reveal the eternal reality of what for some of us will be our eternal destiny!

Isaiah 61:1b-6

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me!
He has sent me to bind up the broken -hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,

2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,

3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.

4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.

5 Strangers will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.

6 And you will be called priests of the Lord,you will be named ministers of our God.

In Communion the Lord told Camille He had oceans and oceans of love for her and that's what brings us into Communion with Him.

Truth 2: "The Truth" in eternity
is based on a first-hand, faith relationship in Communion with Jesus Christ.

When it comes to eternal life, the question should be Who is Truth and not What is Truth? Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life.

In Communion we individually encounter The CommunionFire of Jesus love. He loves us first. He is always there. He is not hiding and can't wait to share His love and life with us.

In Communion it is in "knowing The Truth who is Jesus" that sets us free!

True Story
"CommunionFire" on the Beach on Mother's Day, 2016!

Faithful to daily Communion and understanding CommunionFire, our dear friend and neighbor, Mary, was having Communion on the beach with us on Mother's Day under the Surfside Pier. The discussion before Communion was about how two Mother's lives were changed by the power of God through miraculous pregnancies and the mercy of God.

You see, when another Mary, Jesus' Mother and her cousin, Elizabeth, John the Baptist's Mother got together history was rewritten in their mutual prophecies to one another.

Prophecies? Yes. from Gabriel, Elizabeth - Mother of John the Baptist, Mary - Mother of Jesus, Zachary, Simeon and Anna! Why Mary's pregnancy was such a powerful demonstration of John 3:16! Why Mary was 'full of grace' and the favor of God as the Mother of the Divine Mercy! How God's mercy chose someone who was a lowly handmaiden to give birth to the King of heaven.

Elizabeth was too old to have children and was grieved that she was barren. Then there were many miracles that took place and she was six months pregnant. That was when Mary, Jesus' Mother, was visited in Luke 1:28 by the ArchAngel Gabriel, who came to her saying,

"Hail, (Mary), full of grace, The Lord is with you: blessed are you among women... You will give birth to the Son of God." Luke 1:26-38.

She was a virgin and was going to conceive, by the power of the Holy Spirit, a baby Son off God in human form and call His name Jesus!

We then followed with discussions about the prophecies of Zachary (Zacharias), John's Dad and of Simeon and Anna. (1 Samuel 2:1-11, Luke 1:39-80 and Luke 2.:1-38, Isaiah 7:10-16, 61:1-11, Micah 5)

A most remarkable dialog and the power of the Lord was with us.

Then We Had Communion... on the beach. It was just the three of us and Jesus and all of heaven it seemed like!

In the Communion our friend Mary had great sadness.

When we were finished Communion Mary was crying. Camille said, "Aw Mary, you okay?"

Mary said that she was grieving that she never had children.

Then, when she had the bread, the flesh of the Lord, He said to her, personally, "Mary, you've been mother to many children!"

Then in the wine, the Blood of the Lord, He said, "You are greatly loved!"

Mary smiled with great joy through her tears because today, Jesus revealed Himself to her as Truth that set her free from years of sorrow. He became the oil of gladness, the oil of healing to her personally. She "knows The Truth and He set her free!"

6 Myths and 7 Truths about Communion Part 3

of new technologies each day. I'm not sure they know why they do it
but, for the most part, they do pretty well.

However, many of their friends are feeding on this as a new kind
of conceptual relativism born every day on the heels of the
"Invention boom of social communication technologies".

Lifestream Social Digitization: The New L.S.D.?

It is like "The New LSD" (Lust, Sin, Death). It's like a mind altering drug.
It's addictive and for some it's euphoric and for most, out of control..
It occupies mind, hand, heart and direction of the feet and conversation.

This "new relativism" is not only having an affect on painting
what future generation cultures will look like,
but, may be (for this generation) a new kind of slavery;
and (for my generation) the final 'trip''!

Technology is running circles around my friends,
55 and older, one of two ways:

The first way is denial, "It's just too much for me to understand or I just don't care.."

The second way is the sense of necessity
If you're not in touch with the newest technology,
then it creates a sense of being abandoned by life itself.

Without it you are left without 'meaningful' dialog. i feel almost sentenced to
life outside the "technospheres".of a cellphone or Ipad. The Family Table
has been replaced by the touch screen! The Communion Table is just plain
irrelevant.

Tangibility is the first step. It's a small piece of real bread and a sip of real wine.
There is no more serious high technology than Communion, or didn't you know that?

M y t h S m y t h i n g ?

The "Table" has a whole #newlifestyledefinition. The table is a screen where
life happens. #textmssgs #pix #vids No More... "Nic-Nac-Paddy-Wac Give the Dog a Bone!

Language is changing.
Spelling and communications have created new and
evolving skill sets never known to man before.
Is that truth? Or is that myth?
What is Truth? What is Myth?
Is #MythSmything The New Reality Creator?

For Example: What is astroturfing?
Astroturfing is a fake grassroots campaign that seeks to create the impression of legitimate buzz or interest in a product, service or idea. Often this movement is motivated by a payment or gift to the writer of a post or comment or may be written under a pseudonym.

"If you can invent it, it must be so!"
Some care some don't.
Some can 'do without the phone' some
are utterly dependent on it or any other technology that escapes
understanding newly invented terms, phrasing, shortcuts and "stuff"!

or "Go with the flow..."

Oh my! Where are you Malcolm Muggeridge?

By age 60 I personally came very quietly to the Great Redeemer
in total and absolute personal poverty of spirit, mind and determination..

"Lord, There is, in the natural sphere, nothing left of me!"

I don't know if it was aging or
having more than 10 grand children or
having to work 3x as hard for a third of the commissions,
but I came to the end of my own desire, intensity and strength.

... This included any more of my "doing for God"!

Working became fruitless and benefits disappeared like the morning fog.
I had so much knowledge of good and evil I thought I would explode
right along with the rest of the planet.

Now, I only want to follow Jesus
and lay down in His green pastures beside spring fed, stormless waters.
What was relative and relevant, at one point in my life, no longer was... or is..

This gave way three years ago to the birthing of a new, eternal reality
and relativity for me. The only thing that remains relevant was Jesus.
Only His "eternals" carry any weight of meaning or purpose now..

For example, this year He added the reality or truth about His realm, as King.
In other words the reality and relativity of His Kingdom have become almost
within reach. We get glimpses and images, sights and sounds
that go beyond theory and concept.

Thank God - He is opening our spiritual vision and hearing
to see and hear what is eternally relevant and real!

Einstein offered mankind a brilliant theory of relativity.

It was and is still brilliant, but it is nothing compared with
the reality of truth. Jesus, (The Truth) told the woman at the well,

"The time is coming and now is
when true worshipers will worship Me in Spirit and Truth.'

He did not say, "... in time all will be relative to Me in theory and concept!"

So one final definition for the variable natures between myth and truth.
For the purposes of this series I will define::
Myth: as theoretical conceptualism in the temporal
Truth: as absolute realism. in the eternal

Next Post
We begin to see, hear and understand the eternal weight and glory of Jesus who chooses to manifest Himself in the bread and wine of Communion and how that, for me, over a thousand times defines what is the eternal reality! It also helps clarify 40 years of theological Myth that was based on a passionate zeal to do for God based on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hand theoretical and sometimes theological concepts.
