Excerpts of Echoes of the Golden
“....The spirit may be free to soar to the heavenly realm but if the mind is filled with worldly or earthy thoughts then petitions and prayers will come to naught. The faithful are called to translate the heavenly on earth and not the other way around. The professed seeker after Christ whose mind is filled with the worldly will profit nothing in the kingdom of God. The spirit has to be pure and the mind focused on the heavenly to be deemed worthy of use for the amazing. He that is matured in Christ that seeks with a pure heart and focused mind can indeed do all things through Christ….”
“….The gift of flight is man’s ultimate dream come true. It is the completion of the journey that he begun from the salty sea through the earthly plane to end hopefully in his original home in the heavens. It is the journey that ends in triumphant escape to the better that all the great herds in creation are searching to find. They fail to find the way because it is found on the road less travelled. It is found by the sojourner on earth led along by the Spirit of the heavenly Father on the long and winding trail. The rendezvous with the Divine is not realized in a herd or group for each must bear his own cross after Christ. All creatures that have life coursing through them have a deep longing to return home to the source of creation. But only a few are given to find the way back through the tunnel of light into the womb of dawn….”
“….The spirit is the wind that lifts the soul upwards. The unpurified soul lacks the spirit to lift upwards but the purified soul is buoyant and takes flight easily. The way home to the source of all creation points upwards and is found in the exalted heights where the free spirits soar. It is not found by bravado, might or power. The way is found through humility, sincerity, charity and peace. The way up is found through the lowly. He that soars in light is often deemed to be of a low degree by the world but such has been exalted by God to join him in divine company. The call to come home to God is the way for man to know self so as to be true to all. It is the call that echoes down through time and for all ages….”
“….The faithful are often called to endure and persevere through heartaches and pain. It is the only way for the ego of the flesh to be decreased so that the inner man of the spirit can increase. It is all very hurtful for the seeker after Christ but it is in fact necessary because the flesh does not yield easily to the spirit. All the injustices heaped upon the faithful believer add up to the process of crucifixion by which the old self is buried so that the new man of the spirit can be fully realized. For man to begin to ascend in spirit, he must pass through the figurative eye of the needle. The latter separates the heavenly from the earthly. It takes crucifixion to streamline mind, body and spirit so as to be able to pass through the eye of the needle for ascension to the exalted heights….”
“….The anointing of Christ is bestowed on the sons so that they can untie the knots of spiritual bondage, lift the veil of spiritual blindness, obtain forgiveness for the sinful and resuscitate the moribund among mankind. It is the same anointing yesterday, today and forever given to make the dead in spirit to live again in the light of Truth in love. It is the same Truth shared and well taken to heart that make sons of God out of mortal men. It is the same redeeming light that shines brilliantly into the dark recesses of hearts to chase away the fears and torments of darkness forever….”
“….Man will always be a worm crawling in the miry dust of the earth until he finds Christ the gateway to Heaven. As long as he is determined to search by his wits and on own terms, man will be like Jacob and never find the gateway. The conversation in heavenly places that he desires is not of the mind and flesh but in the spirit. Mankind can only find the gateway that leads on to the starry when he realizes that it is futile and to his spiritual detriment to wrestle with God. The worm hole or the gateway to the heavenly that leads to the starry realm is Christ. Mankind has to search humbly in Truth with love for God in order to have a chance of meeting up with Christ….”
“….It takes many seasons, at least seventeen years or more, to grow into full spiritual maturity in Christ and to be deemed righteous before God. Many do think that seventeen years is a long time to tarry for God but it is the blink of an eye in the scope of eternity. Eternity is creation’s grand blessing and the golden crown of life. It is hard to let go of fame and fortune when one does not yet know that those two are impostors. Fame and fortune are rewards at best but blessings are far better for they never cease. Blessings never come with regrets and are passed forward to the next generation. Such are good everywhere and anytime. Eternal life and divine blessings, whoever has those can have anything that his heart desires….”
“….Every son of light has three silver bullets given to him to handle the issues of life. His thoughts and wishes are like bullets that stream out to heavenly places to connect with the Father, the first born Son Jesus as well as the Spirit. They are used to summon help and to accomplish the desires of the heart. The christened in light will not comprehend the depth of that which has been poured into him initially. But he will come to understand the extent of the power that he is connected to as he passes through and overcomes many problems. The sharpness of every sword is only understood and appreciated by the many beasts slain with it on life’s path. The words that the follower in light after Christ speaks constitute the sword. The silver bullets are only entrusted to those who have wielded the sword of truth nobly. He that has the silver bullet need not speak much anymore for as he thinks in his heart, so it comes to pass….”
“….There is momentary silence in Heaven when the hourglass is turned over but it is soon followed with great joy for it signals regeneration and dawn of the new age for the reborn in light. It is all by heaven’s mandate and destiny’s call. The new age is filled with peaceful hope and bubbles with magnanimous optimism. It is the grand awakening of humanity into its purified better. It is the ugly waking up to find itself beautifully transformed in the divine mirror. It is the saga of the ugly duckling turned into a beautiful swan that glides in majestic control through life. It unfolds from glory to more glory as time elapses. In this glorious dawn, everything gets better with the passage of time contrary to what the world’s way offers mankind….”
“….The season of judgment or self-examination within the fellowship of Christ serves faithful believers well. It helps to move them from the spiritual indolence of grace on to the spiritual vitality of mercy. Granted that not every believer has been ordained to come into the realm of mercy, it is important to note however that no one who truly desires a place therein is left behind. The unworthy that is stuck in grace is the goat that hides among the sheep of the flock to defile the divine feast of grace in greedy lust. The goats in the sheepfold always stick out when the rug of grace is removed. The unfaithful fall when the rug of grace is pulled back for there is no place left to hide under judgment but the faithful are left standing to bask in new knowledge and vision about God….”
“….Those that hear and heed Heaven’s inaudible yet timely call do become the building blocks of the kingdom and the vessels favored for mighty use by God. Every believer that has become a chosen vessel favored for the work of the kingdom will have the doors of Providence always open to meet his needs. The goodness and mercy of God will follow him always so that he will receive as he asks. He will knock and have the doors of opportunity opened to him as he serves the Divine will. He that has been chosen in this wise will know what to ask for and always receive the wherewithal needed to fulfill the calling….”
“….Nothing must choke the channel of mercy for it must remain a freeway of light, love and life. The channel of mercy is the highway of the free in spirit who have overcome the world and given to ride in the high places where only few can venture. Worries, cares, grievances, resentments, grumblings, anger, envy and such emotional malware slowly but surely drag down the spirit into a stall. The stalled spirit cannot ascend and has no place on the highway of the free. He that harbors such a spirit cannot ride on the high places but must return to the low places of the earth as one who has vacated the place of honor that was appointed for him….”
“….There is always a delay and hesitation before the commitment to answer God’s call from when it is first heard. However he who has been divinely earmarked will eventually respond to the call. The response may be gradual because the inertia of worldliness resists change and takes time to be overcome. It takes about three years to build up a commitment to trust God. To let go of the worldly is the spiritual beast that the believer has to wrestle with and overcome before he can stand with Christ. The battle for man’s soul is fought between the old life which the believer has known and the new which he is yet to know. Unless God has earmarked him for victory in this fight, the chance for mankind to prevail in this struggle of the old versus new is very slim….”
“….The spirit and power of God have an exceptional utility quotient that serves humanity in countless ways through all areas of life. Divine power has the limitless potential to make, break or change things for better in the life of the believer. God is not to be resisted but yielded to. His power cannot be conjured up but tarried for. He chooses the vessel that he deems to be worthy of use. He chooses the faithful that will not hinder but allow his purposes to be accomplished on earth. Divine power is given to overcome myriad obstacles but partial to the humble, meek and truthful….”
“….It takes some time for the reborn in light to realize and fully understand that divine power availed through Christ makes the ability to do many things possible. Such must take time to take stock of all the gifts and skills that the spirit of God has induced to surface through him. The gifts usually add up to point in a clear and definite direction for his life. All the gifts are components that assemble into a divinely appointed vehicle that will carry him through the rest of his life as he serves God and goodness. The time invested by the believer to pray and take stock of his life in this wise will be highly rewarding. It will allow him to be able to recognize the new direction in which God is leading him for he has embarked on the sweet ride to glory….”
