Love That Does Not Fail

"There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." Proverbs 12:18

And you want to know what Christ said on the cross? 

It is finished. 

But what, exactly? What is finished? 

Your sin, your guilt, shame, pain, and your suffering. That is what Christ took on -- it's not on your bill. So  do yourself a favor, and learn how to let it go. Give all that up and say "it is done, it is finished" allow yourself to be healed. 

Look -- for a lot of years I had an issue with the concept of, "born sinners". How can you look at infant and say, "yep.. that's a sinner alright. Inherently evil." That's actually not what's meant by the scripture. What's meant by it is the capability to sin and to live out an inherited evil. So to capture this -- you want to know what sin really is? It's simply this: turning away from God. Turning away from His ways. Turning away from His blessing for your life, because you want to do your own thing. It's using your free will, to step out of holiness with God -- out of His design. Without getting too far into the weeds around it, that verse that describes humans as born sinners is true, because of the fall of man in Genesis, where sin (turning away from God) first took place. 

But the fall of man leads us to another unwavering truth -- the love of God. And that love being built on accountability -- it's the first lesson in the book. When God said "don't eat of the fruit from the tree of knowledge" that was an invitation and warning to Adam and Eve to trust His word. Since they over-rode that invitation and warning, God held them accountable. Why? He created them. He created their (our) design to operate a certain way, and manipulation of that design would invite hell on earth. Some might say, "but that's blind-following -- where is the freedom in that?" 

Here's what I can tell you about that. The further you go into the void and psyche, trying to fix and understand everything, the further you get away from being on the earth and exercising the domain God gave you over it. Only because, what you set into motion creates momentum for a reality of life. If your focus is spent on knowledge and fixating on what's right or wrong all the time, you're creating a life on concepts, not on anything tangible.. on sand, not a solid rock.

Higher consciousness is not bad, setting your story straight is not bad either, but what I believe God intended in the beginning was presence with Adam and Eve, the fall then, creating a separation from Him. This then, what I'll claim to be the creation of a new dimension. Instead of seeing, speaking, communing with the Lord on the Earth as it was in the Old Testament, there's now a "blindness" installed to accessing God. In short, the freedom in the original design was protection. Protection from the damage we could instill on ourselves without knowing it.
