In part 2 of, “Love School,” we examine the parable of the prodigal son to really get a picture of what keeps us from receiving the Father’s unconditional love. Both sons, like most of us, were living under the illusion of separation from their father. Both were operating out of self-righteousness, independence, and judgment. The
My Precious Child, I am perfecting your ability to hear and recognize My voice and removing the doubt that causes you to question if it’s really Me. Instead of overthinking what you hear or feel, I want you to trust and follow the promptings of My Spirit that you are often tempted to disregard. That
God’s love, His core nature, gets muddled up by religion, sin-consciousness, and our focus on what is wrong instead of what is right. Religion is based in judgment, in the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But love isn’t judgment-based, it’s judgment-free. Love is the ruling force of the universe. It’s unconditional, and
My Precious Child, Do you know that I set you apart for Myself before you were even born? That’s right, the Gospel is the announcement that I picked you to be Mine! To the Ephesian church, Paul wrote that I associated you in Christ before the fall of the world. That’s right! I predestined you
In the final episode of, “Union Police,” we talk about the old man who died with Christ, and yet all too often feels very much alive. Why is that? What do we do when we experience emotions like anxiety or anger? Aren’t we supposed to not feel negative emotions now that we are a new
My Precious Child, Do you know what it means to be the temple of the Holy Spirit? Jesus died for Us to have this union with you. He said “On that day you will realize that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.” He told His disciples
In part 3 of, “Union Police,” we talk about how our self- and sin-consciousness frame our perception and experience of reality, and how the Gospel is the death of self-consciousness because it is the end of sin (therefore the end of sin-consciousness). Yet, many of us haven’t heard the Gospel as good news, because we
My Precious Child, Do you know that you are created for pleasure? You are a creative being, made in Our enjoyment and love. You are literally hardwired for bliss and satisfaction. It is why you crave connection with others, good food, and enjoy beautiful music. It’s the very reason you can’t get painting out of
Many Christians think of eternal life as something we get after we die, but in part 2 of, “Union Police,” we examine how Jesus defines eternal life and the right-now-reality of it. In John 17:3, Jesus says, “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you
The foundation of my ministry is our union with God, which is how I got the nickname, ‘the union police.’ So, in this series, “Union Police,” we really dig into the reality of our union with Jesus and what it actually means. When you read Scripture and see the world through the lens of our
