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 1st 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 2nd 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 2nd 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.
