The Key to the Blessing

Every aspects of the kingdom is ours; our cup run over, overflow with every good things, including abundance, beauty, wealth, health, joy, peace, love, creative expression, right relation, freedom, harmony. Our site is about awareness, develop our spiritual awareness. When we talk about awareness, we talk about consciousness, attention: “and when we let our heightened awareness, our consciousness interprets itself as that, which we are conscious, we become the I am what I am, born not of the flesh but of the spirit”. Spiritual awareness is the key to the blessing for it is that awareness that makes us sons of God and heir of the kingdom, eligible to receive the blessing. Let us notice the mental disposition of the people of the Third World. They feel the need to reach out to God through third parties, a saint or the spirit of a dead ancestor. They feel less than divine and inferior beings that must have some one higher than them to negotiate for them with God. We need not bargain our way into God’s favor. The secret to get our prayers answer (granted) is for us to be in tune with God which is the unfailing abundance, substance of the universe. Since God is the unfailing abundance substance of the universe lives inside of us, we have no needs; all of our needs are met.
“Ask what you wish and I will do it so that you may bring fruit” Jesus said. It is through Christ that God will be glorified on earth. God takes much pleasure to give you the things that you asked so that His glory can be manifested on earth. As long as you have the awareness that Christ is the key to your blessing, you will have things added to your life. God takes much pleasure to give you, to manifest His glory through you.
“To them gave he the power to become sons of God” even to those that received Him, those that accept this new awareness that they are sparks of the Divine and that the Divine resides in them. Remember that Christ’s mission is to baptize you with spirit, awake in you your spiritual self and make you aware of the spirit in you. He is to energize the spiritual spark in you so that you may become conscious of it; for it is through it (the spirit) that God will manifest His glory on earth. “That you may bring fruit worthy of heaven”; it is His good pleasure to give you the kingdom; which means that He takes pleasure to give you the key to access the blessing. The kingdom is the manifestation of the government of God on earth, the spiritual power of God through you. He cannot do that without you aware of His spirit in you. God is unfailing abundance, the invisible substance of the universe individualized in you. Whatever is His is also yours. This Omnipresent supply of abundance resides in you. Making the transition from the consciousness of unworthiness to a consciousness of son ship is the challenge. We have been so much accustomed to the consciousness of separation that to undertake this challenge won’t be easy. What is sin, what is separation, what is it that separate us from God or our spiritual awareness? Sin is disconnection from the spirit which means having no more spiritual awareness. Sin separates us from God or from the consciousness of the spirit and nature takes precedence and our consciousness becomes subjugated to nature. We no longer have consciousness of our spiritual heritage. Christ had to come down on earth to rescue us and restore our consciousness back to his spiritual heritage, give us back our awareness of the divine in us. “To them that received Him, gave He power to become sons of God”. Without Christ we are cut off from the blessing of God. Whatever we received in life that bring us joy, peace and happiness is of God; for the blessing of God makes glad and add no sorrow. “You are the Christ the Son of the living God Peter said” this is the revelation that we need to have, the same revelation that Peter had. It is this knowledge, this knowing without a shadow of doubt that Jesus is the Christ, the One who will ignite the fire of the spirit in you that we need. We need to know that Jesus is the key, the philosopher stone so sought out by the alchemists of the past, the One that will transmute you from mortal man to immortal man. The spirit never dies; it is the spirit that gives life. Is gold the precious metal that the alchemists were looking for and if the philosopher stone is the key to transmute lead into gold and the key to immortality Jesus then is the key, the philosopher stone. It is the revelation that He is what He said He is that we must have. We must know that He is the key to the spirit. Without the spirit we can do nothing. “If you don’t believe that I am He, you will die in your sins”. That revelation is an awareness. It is the key to a new awareness. This knowing is the key to a doorway to the spirit. Jesus said: “I am the way and the life” Jesus came to re-unite us with the spirit show us a path to the spirit. Sin separates us from God; it takes our consciousness away from the spirit and forces us to focus our awareness on the body. Sin put blinders on our eyes for it blinds us from perceiving the spiritual world. We cannot perceive the spiritual world without us first become aware of the spirit. “Except ye born again of spirit and water you cannot see the kingdom of heaven” water means repentance, renouncing one former self, embracing the spiritual self.
How do we find the way?
It is to be found in the life style. Jesus prescribed the way for us to fallow. Like Don Juan in Carlos Castaneda novel, we must learn to live like a warrior at war with the forces of the flesh. We must live for the spirit, guided by the rules of the spirit. We must be alert, vigilant for the flesh is weak. To succumb to the impulses of the body is to be like a weed at the mercy of the wind; it is to be like dust in the wind but to be guided by the rules and constraints of the spirit is to be a warrior. A warrior has power over the forces of nature.
