Power -- Energy

 

In the Bible Jesus said a number of things that indicates that there is some kind of power or energy. This I believe is a God thing and it is difficult for us humans to wrap our heads around it.

In Mark 5:30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

1 Corinthians 4:20 Lexham English Bible

20 For the kingdom of God is not with talk, but with power.

The Quakers believe that there is something of God in all of us.

Jesus said this: John 14:12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. ----- This verse has caused pretty great controversy. How can we humans do greater works than Jesus? I think that this comment is in reference to this God power that we can have. It is in no way saying that we can be greater than Jesus. We cannot replace Jesus. He is one of a kind. He took away the sins of the world. He was the unblemished lamb that was sacrificed for our sins.

I recently read the book Celestine Insights by James Redfield. In this book James has written about 10 insights. The characters and the stories in the book are fictional but the insights are based on the author’s experiences, his coincidences (the 1^st insight). James has recently written two new insights. I have not read these yet.

All of us have experienced mysterious incidents, coincidences throughout our lives. Many times we do not think much about them other than that they were odd. These coincidences come in different forms. They could be in the form of people, or books, or sickness, or accidents… The 2^nd insight is becoming aware that these coincidences are divine driven and that they have great meaning for us but we have to be cognizant of them. Sometimes it may be years latter that we understand a coincidence or that multiple coincidences are needed to build the full picture of understanding.

Many times throughout my life I have experienced coincidences. I am just starting to understand the 2^nd insight and how my coincidences bear on my life. Here is something that I am starting to understand:

Think of yourself as a storage battery. We store God power. The amount of power that we can store is limitless. There are things that take power away and things that gives us power. We can give some of our power to other people or other living things or we can take or steal it from people or things. When we give power we receive back that power plus more from the divine; from God. When we take power, that is all we get. Our thoughts and our character can be giving power or taking power.

My thoughts are evolving as I write this.

1. There is something of God in all of us.

2. We can give or take energy. Maybe we are the only ones totally responsible for this energy exchange, other than God.

3. If we take energy, that is all we get.

4. If we give energy then God rewards us with more energy.

I want to expound on John 14:12. Jesus said that we could do greater works than He did if we believe in Him. I think He is saying that if we trust His words we can do these things.

Can you imagine what this means?

This is just some of the things Jesus did that has been recorded in the Bible.

1. He took our punishment for the sins we commit. Only He is able to do that. There needed to be a human without sin in order to take our punishment and that was Jesus.

2. He teaches us about the Father. Only He can do that. He is the only one who really knows the Father.

3. Know truth, is truth. Only He is and can do that. The Father knows all things and because the Father and Jesus are One, Jesus knows all things.

Here are some things that Jesus did that I think we would be able to do if we had enough God power:

1. Heal the sick.

2. Feed people when there is only a little to offer.

3. Give sight to the blind

4. Give hearing to the deaf.

5. Make whole the bodies that are broken or are out of place.

6. Bring back life to the dead.

7. Calm the seas.

8. Cast out demons.

9. Have compassion on those who need compassion.

I live on the Louisiana side of Houston Texas. That very powerful hurricane, Laura, just hit the Gulf Coast and Houston was in the cone of uncertainty. As the storm was approaching, I thought about Jesus calming the sea so I asked for prayers from people in the Celestine Prophecy Insight Chatting group. My thoughts were to dissipate the storm completely, like Jesus did so no one would get hurt. I don’t know how many people prayed but it did seem to affect the storm in kind of a weird way. It kept it from the Houston area all together; not one drop of rain and no wind. But I am not sure if our prayers helped or hurt those in its path over in Louisiana and parts of East Texas. It seemed like Laura became more like a powerful tornado that had a path of destruction of about 40 miles wide. The unsurvivable 20ft storm surge that was expected really didn’t happen, at least not of that magnitude. I know that before the hurricane hit, instead of the usual preparation to be able to evacuate, I became almost numb to it. It would have been extremely difficult for us to leave for a number of reasons so we decided to stay no matter what.

At the time I asked for prayers, I did not think about how Jesus calmed the sea so I searched to find out.

Mark 4:35-41 King James Version

35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. 36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Normally I don’t like to use the King James version but I caught something very interesting with this version and this is the version that my Ultimate Bible Study Suite uses which gives me the original Greek or Hebrew words.

It was how Jesus treated the wind and sea as separate entities; He rebukes the wind but He tells the sea, “Peace, be still”. I looked up the original Greek words.

The Greek word for rebuke is ‘epitimao’ meaning to tax upon, i.e. censure or admonish; by implication forbid; - (straightly) charge, rebuke.

He tells the sea, “Peace, be still” – the Greek word for peace is ‘siopao’ meaning (silence, i.e. a hush; properly muteness, i.e. involuntary stillness, or inability to speak, to be dumb (but not deaf also; figurative to be calm (as quiet water); - dumb, (hold) peace.

The Greek word for be still is ‘phimoo’ from (a muzzle); to muzzle

Masaru Emoto has done extensive work with water. It is extremely interesting seeing his results. He subjected water to different words and feelings and recorded the way the water responded. When kind thoughts and words were injected at the water, the water responded in good ways but when not kind words and feelings were injected, the water reacted poorly and as though it became agitated. There have been people and groups who have prayed over water, have projected kind words and thoughts to water, or have played music that contained the Love frequency to water and found amazing things that happened to it. This is not just a haphazard thing, there is something there, a power that we are only beginning to understand. Remember, Jesus said that for those who believe Him they would be able to do greater works than He did.

Now I want to talk about vibrations and frequency. There is the Law of Vibration which states that everything in our universe vibrates. There is also a Law of Frequency which suggests that the more a person practices the correct and desired behavior, the higher the probability there is to use the desired behavior. Love has a frequency of 528hz. That frequency is said to vibrate at the heart of everything in the universe and is known as the “Miracle” frequency. It connects the heart, your spiritual essence, to Heaven and Earth.

Now about harmonic frequencies. In every frequency there are harmonic frequencies. Think about a wave action in water. It is vibrating at a certain frequency, the distance between the high points of the wave. If you were to push down the wave exactly at the peak, it sets up a harmonic wave pattern. It is now twice the frequency of the original wave but the amplitude has diminished. Think about music. When there is harmony the music sounds good but when someone is playing or singing off tune, not in harmony, it doesn't sound so good. Well, I think many of us are not in harmony with the Love frequency which is the reason for so much strife. When we start to align ourselves with the Love frequency, more in harmony, then I think that is when it is possible to do the greater works as Jesus said. This is possible singularly but it is much more powerful collectively.

Who Owns The Land

Do you have land? Do you own it? If you have a mortgage on the land then who owns it? Won't the lender take it away if you don't pay your mortgage payments? So is it really yours? Lets say that you have paid off your mortgage. Now who owns the land? You would think that you do right? What happens if you do not pay your property taxes? Won't the government come and seize the land? So, who owns the land?

Does anyone really own land on this planet Earth?

Here is something I got off of the HERB website. It is what Sitting Bull, Lakota warrior said in 1932

"Our land is more valuable than your money.  It will last forever.  It will not even perish by the flames of fire.  As long as the sun shines and the waters flow, this land will be here to give life to men and animals.  We cannot sell the lives of men and animals; therefore we cannot sell this land.  It was put here for us by the Great Spirit and we cannot sell it because it does not belong to us.  You can count your money and burn it within the nod of a buffalo's head, but only the great Spirit can count the grains of sand and the blades of grass of these plains.  As a present to you, we will give you anything we have that you can take with you, but the land, never."

The Native American Indians understood that land is not something you can own. It is put here by "The Great Spirit", God.

Matthew 21:33-45

The Parable of the Tenant Farmers in the Vineyard

33 “Listen to another parable: There was a man—a master of a house—who planted a vineyard, and put a fence around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey. 34 And when the season of fruit drew near, he sent his slaves to the tenant farmers to collect his fruit. 35 And the tenant farmers seized his slaves, one of whom they beat, and one of whom they killed, and one of whom they stoned. 36 Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first ones, and they did the same thing to them. 37 So finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when[a] the tenant farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance!’ 39 And they seized him and[b] threw him[c] out of the vineyard and killed him.[d] 40 Now when the master of the vineyard arrives, what will he do to those tenant farmers?” 41 They said to him, “He will destroy those evil men completely and lease the vineyard to other tenant farmers who will give him the fruits in their season.” 42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures,

‘The stone which the builders rejected,
    this has become the cornerstone.[e]
This came about from the Lord,
    and it is marvelous in our eyes’?[f]

43 For this reason, I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a people[g] who produce its fruits. 44 And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, and the one on whom it falls—it will crush him!” 45 And when[h] the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them,

Love

Have you ever tried to put a description or a meaning to this word 'LOVE'? Every time I think about this word, love, I have a hard time putting a concrete definition to it in my mind. How would you describe to someone what love is?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

New International Version

13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing. 

The Greek word for love is 'agape' Definitions: love, i.e. affection or benevolence; specially (plural) a love-feast; - (feast of) charity ([-ably]), dear, love.

What is it about this word? There seems to be great power in the word but how,,,, why? Does the power come from just saying the word or thinking the word? It seems this word has something to do with God.

I remember a piece I did quite a while ago 'Living Water' that was about how positive and negative words said to water affected it. There have been different kinds of experiments using water and words as explained in that blog post. It was quite amazing to see the results.

I am reading the book 'Celestine Insights' by James Redfield right now. It is an astonishing book. I am about 80% through but it is quite amazing how the things talked about in the book pertains to what is happening in our world today and possibly what will happen in the future. 

We've all experienced how certain things come into our lives as though they were predestined to be there at that very point in time. We don't often think about it in that way when it happens and I think it is because we are not attuned to it. If we were more cognizant of them I believe we would see great meaning in them (one of the insights in the book.) This book showing up in my life at this precise time when my desire is to understand 'love' is one of those predestined life experiences for me.

So, back to that powerful word 'LOVE'. The book talks about how everything vibrates at a certain frequency, everything. So I wondered if this word 'LOVE' has a frequency and was blown away by what I found out. The love frequency is 528 Hz. This frequency resonates at the heart of everything. It is the core frequency of our universe. The 528 Hz is known as the 'Miracle' tone. It is the frequency that is central to the "musical mathematical matrix of creation".  "It connects your heart, your spiritual essence, to the spiraling reality of heaven and earth."

528 Hz - The Love Frequency  

The Lord's Prayer

If you have ever been in a protestant church then you probably know the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples known as the Lord's prayer. Most often when I've said it, it is usually with others and I really don't have time to really think about it in a deep way. So, I thought I would get out my Kindle and study the prayer in my Ultimate Bible Study Suite which gives the original Greek words that have been translated into our English language. So often by doing this it gives me a deeper understanding as to what is being said.

Matthew 6:9-15 King James Version (KJV)

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 6:9-15 International Standard Version (ISV)

9 Therefore, this is how you should pray:

‘Our Father in heaven,
    may your name be kept holy.
10 May your kingdom come.
    May your will be done,
        on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread,
12 and forgive us our sins,[a]
    as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us.[b]
13 And never bring us into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.’[c]

14 Because if you forgive people their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive people their offenses,[d] your Father will not forgive your offenses.”

There is always one part in the prayer that really grabs my attention, it bothers me. It is verse 12. Something else that I just noticed and either I didn't know these verses were there or I've forgotten them. They are verses 14 & 15 which makes verse 12 pretty clear. Wow, this is definitely for me.

I'll break down verse 12 first sense that's what is getting my attention.

The Greek word translated 'forgive' is 'aphiemi' which is from another Greek word 'apo' which is a primary particle "off," i.e. away (from something near), in various senses (of place, time, or relation.)

'aphiemi' is an intense form of, to go; to send forth, in various applications (as follow); - cry, forgive, forsake, lay aside, leave, let (alone, be, go, have), omit, put (send) away, remit, suffer, yield up.

The Greek word translated 'debts or sins' is 'opheilema' which means something owed, i.e. (figurative) a due; morally a fault; - debt.

Let me go ahead and jump to verses 14 & 15.
The Greek word that has been translated 'trespasses or offenses' is 'paraptoma' which is a side-slip (lapse or deviation), i.e. (unintentional) error or (willful) transgression; - fall, fault, offence, sin, trespass.

I wonder about myself. Have I not forgiven someone or do I look at something -- a wrong, or an offense, as something other than what needs forgiveness (in my mind's eye)? Verses 14 & 15 are clearly talking about me specifically whereas verse 12 says 'us'. I believe that the Bible teaches us to consider others more than what we do ourselves. I have a hard time knowing how to do that in such a way that is pleasing to God.

Here is a link to a list of Bible verses that may help: 

Considering Others

I am going to finish this with the whole chapter 6 of Matthew.

Matthew 6 New International Version (NIV)

Giving to the Needy

6 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Prayer

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
    but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’

14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Fasting

16 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Treasures in Heaven

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy,[c] your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy,[d] your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
