Beam Me Up | Part 1

“Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching” (Hebrews 10:24-25 NKJV).

The age of information has allowed us to explore our relationship with Christ in ways that were not available before the internet. Over the past fifty-plus years, we would rely on our local churches and leadership for Biblical direction on what God was doing in that season. We did have television and radio for those who stayed home, but you still had to tune in at the time they were broadcast. Now you can watch them anytime on their websites or other social media platforms.

Today, we can seek out our own relationship with what God is saying in the season we are in. The caution we must consider is not to be an island unto ourselves. Each of us may receive a powerful revelation from the Lord, but we then must find a way to assemble ourselves as one body in Christ with others. If your local fellowship groups are not receiving the same insightful messages from the Holy Spirit about what God is doing, it doesn’t mean you’re hearing wrong. Thankfully, we can explore social media platforms to see if others around the world are sharing similar messages.

I enjoy searching the internet and YouTube channels for people who are teaching things like what God is showing me, how they validate it, what's in it, where they get their scriptures from, and where they're grounding themselves. because there's just a lot going on. Often, they are not near me but maybe on the other side of the world.

I'm in Florida, US. If you're from the UK or somewhere in Europe, your culture, customs, and teachings may come from a very different angle, even when using the same scriptures. So, I hope I'm giving you something to think about as you explore and then let the Holy Spirit speak to you.

One of these moments occurred for me while I was listening to a YouTube video by Justin Paul Abraham. He takes a different approach to understanding the scriptures than mainstream evangelical Christianity. However, he does assemble others of similar teachings, such as Ian Clayton, Mike Pearson, and Nancy Coen. They're all intertwined with similar thoughts and understandings about what the Lord is unveiling in this season, this hour, and where we're at, grounding themselves in scripture, biblical culture, and the Hebrew and Greek languages. If you are searching for more teaching beyond your local church, I encourage you to listen to these brothers and sisters in Christ with your Bible, a notepad, and an open heart.

As I listened to them, I found my spirit being reminded of similar conversations I've had with my relationship with the Lord. They sometimes take it from a different angle than what I was taught or what I'm getting, but it stirs up many questions about what God is speaking to me about and where I'm at. I’ve often told others, it’s not about agreeing or disagreeing with something I share, or even what they are sharing. It’s about going to the scriptures and searching for yourself.

In Justin’s video Vanishing Point, I found myself asking, “Where do we vanish from the scene to the unseen, and is it even possible?” Do we have that ability, the old Star Trek, beam me up, Scotty, mentality to really believe it, and is it scripturally sound? It is. We haven't tapped into it enough in mainstream Christianity to explore all the gifts and callings God's trying to unveil today.

While watching this video, I wrote down, "We are one body in the mind of Christ together. We are in the age of Christ consciousness." I don't know if Justin said that directly, but that was my implication, as the vanishing point.

Justin went to Isaiah 2:2 ICB, which says, "In the last days, the mountain of the Lord's temple will be established as the highest of the mountains. It will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it." Well, that got my thoughts stirring about the Lord's temple. Isaiah was probably talking about a literal temple on Earth, specifically the temple in Jerusalem. But he uses the phrase ‘mountain of the Lord's temple,’ suggesting there are hidden mysteries in this verse.

Another thing I wrote down from watching the video was: The more we ascend, the more we tap into transcending; we start shining in a new language, a new somatic. We start shining with the poetry of God, the energies, vibrations, and frequencies of God. We begin to overshadow the natural world, and the spiritual realm takes on greater authority in it. We find we have different coverings, not so much the coverings that we've been taught of a husband over the household or the pastor over the church, but the covering of the Lord Jesus Christ as the husband over the church, and that all mankind is under that covering as the bride, the wife of Christ.

We start to recognize that, with colors like a rainbow, there are no black lines between them. They just go deeper, blending. We find that the mainstream alphabet of letters has more symbolic meaning than we ever thought, through patterns, shapes, and numerology, in ways that help unveil hidden treasures in our lives.

All this stems from the pattern I wrote down: The pattern of our future is the resurrected Christ. If we know that we shared in His death, we are now sharing in His resurrection. This is a key factor I want to try to teach a little bit and share my thoughts on: I'm exploring and studying how we've so often gone from the baby in the manger to the Passover to the unveiling of his resurrection.

I want to honor Justin Paul Abraham with any thoughts above that were spoken in his video. Since my own writings, videos, and books share similar thoughts, I’m not sure whether I wrote verbatim what he said or what the Holy Spirit was saying to me while listening to the video. Either way, it confirms what I said earlier to assemble ourselves into the body of Christ Jesus.

If the resurrection of Jesus Christ is truly a done deal from over two thousand years ago, why do we spend so much energy looking for His future return to finish the job? Isn't He coming out of us? If we're looking for His unveiling as a rapture, or a tribulation that the church often teaches as an escapism, we are missing His presence now.

Everything about our life should be from a position of being born as the resurrection of Christ Jesus in the Earth, as bone of His bone, cell of His cell, flesh of His flesh.

I was originally mentored and ordained by Dr. Joanne Bunce many years ago, while I was in college, earning many degrees in religion. She would make the implication that we have a season upon us, here and now. However, if we are so busy trying to do a little now and then get the rest later, we're going to have to literally die in the flesh to cross over and get the rest later. 

When Jesus taught the disciples how to pray, it came from a relationship with God as their Father and from the process of bringing heaven to earth. What we're looking for is a company of people to bring the heavenly realm of the finished work of Jesus Christ to earth, because the earth is already filled with the glory of God. How does that happen? 

Spiritually, we're starting to connect. I hear this from other teachers and from many of my own blog posts and YouTube videos. Soul-wise, we're moving in that direction, but we're still stuck in a fleshly body dealing with sickness, disease, and aging. Yet most of the church understands that when we literally die and go to heaven, we'll have this glorified body. Why aren't we experiencing this glorified body now? Why aren't we unveiling his glory on Earth now with the radiance of spirit, soul, and body?

I don't have all the answers, and I haven't found anybody yet that really does, but it's a question that needs to be explored. Is it biblical that Jesus appeared and disappeared as the resurrected Christ for forty days? Did he come in and out between the realms of the visible and the invisible? Yes, he did. He not only did this before He went to the cross, where He walked through a crowd, and they never saw Him, but He was also evident in that He later appeared suddenly in a room. What was all of that about? Do we have evidence of it happening in the New Testament, with the apostles or the disciples being transported from one place to another?

These are blessings and tools we know the body of Christ can use to unveil the kingdom of God today. We have evidence in scripture that it happened then and is available now. But does it happen because we want it to happen? Is it happening because we're in deep meditation or ascensions? Or is it simply happening because God is directing our steps, and it's not something that we have to say to ourselves, “I think I can, I think I can.” 

Having the peace of Christ Jesus says, "I know." You see, ‘knowing’ is entirely different from ‘I think’ because it is an intimacy of oneness that has moved beyond being a bride of Christ to being a wife. The bride has joined in marriage to the Lamb of God in oneness, and the marriage has been consummated by the lover of her soul, Jesus Christ. The bride is not doing anything but being the manifestation of the I am, that I be. Knowing that you have the name, the nature, and the identity of Christ in you here on the earth is the warfare that goes on within the Body of Christ.

It is challenging for us when voices from our past say, "Oh, you're this, or you're that," and when we try to release those voices, which is what every young bride goes through. After the wedding and honeymoon, life returns to normal. In that normalcy, we say, "Wait a second. Beforehand, I wasn't cooking a meal all the time, washing someone else's clothes, or cleaning up after someone else." It can become an internal conversation about whether to make changes because of what love looks like, or about being frustrated and complaining, wanting our identity before marriage. The same goes for husbands and wives learning to let go of their old identity, allowing love to bring new, heightened levels of life and joy that are only available in marriage. Marriage to Jesus Christ is available today, while we are in our natural bodies. 

But as time goes by, as people's lives get busy and other things happen, things start to change. That's why we celebrate anniversaries and milestones in different aspects of life: it's not about a wedding or a honeymoon, but about doing life together. 

That is the question for each of us: How are you doing LIFE with Jesus today? As a friend of Jesus, a disciple of Jesus, or as the little brother of Jesus? All these relationships with Jesus are amazing, but there is another relationship He desires with each of us: as His bride, wife, and lover of our souls. When Jesus is the lover of your soul, and you are fully submitted to the lovemaking He desires to give you, with the impregnation of the word of God becoming flesh, the first commandment God gave to Adam - male and female - is fulfilled. – “So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moved upon the earth” (Genesis 1:27-28 KJV).

I want to continue with this and begin sharing some of what the Holy Spirit has been revealing to me as a pathway, using the illustration of Isaiah 2:2 about the mountain of the Lord's temple rising above other mountains.
