Contractions and Expansions

Contractions simply put is something that does not expand. Like in child birth contractions are when the uterus  muscles spasm and shrink so as to push the fetus out, showing us that contractions are restrictions meant to push something out.

Mankind is made in the image of God. God is the largest of anything “for it is in Him we live and have our being”. The soul of each person has an endless capacity. The fallen powers that be being, “the prince of the power of the air that now works in the sons of disobedience”. These powers believe that if they can restrict the abilities of people for spiritual growth, they can stave off the maturation of believers and the completion of Gods Elect, but they are misled.

The purpose of creation is for the completion of a certain number, proverbially the 144k of those who are re-imaged after The Son of God. It is those who take God at His word (His Word is His Son, John 1.1) and to become that word is to provide the Holy Spirit the wherewithal to blow through that soul like a fine instrument proclaiming the way to the Father as our goal. So that we who follow “the unction” and urging of God through our trial and error on earth while the consequences are temporary, so as not to make any mistakes in the eternal. That is why our testing grounds has to do with this temporal realm called earth and creation. And the purpose of the gospel is to reach a completion before our departure here, and our need for us to keep on pressing in, ” Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and to the full knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man (a completely re-imaged), unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of God in Christ: Ephesians 4.13 .

So the enemies of souls know that if, and we mean if they can keep us, all who are “the called”, distracted and reduced, so that they/us never reach our potential and maturation and therefore they believe they can keep God’s creation to themselves. And they can if they can pull that off. But remember what God said when He was fine creating, that it was good, very good”. Meaning He made provisions for all rebellions, departures and misunderstandings. Praise God!

And how might the lower sub sector spirits “that now work in the sons of disobedience”, how do they try to thwart us? They would have you refrained and detain, maintain and entertain you to the point of delusion to exhaustion through their very distractions brought to you by “the power of the air” not referring to oxygen but airwaves. The sufix of those words is “tain”. It can be a form of prison because you are being held spellbound in the spirit of your mind through various fascinations that hold you spellbound as you bounce them back and forth between those who fear like you.

If they can “tain” you, they can occupy you (think of demon possession here). They can theart your efforts and abilities to keep you from becoming word, to wake up and be fully saved, restored and oppositional. It is for you just to be busy about doing good things or God things or preparing for the newest designer fear they’ve presented to you. Really you can’t save anyone, you can’t even save yourself or them from their most current nightmare. But you can repent and take the saving already available by faith from the cross, relax and recalibrate to refocus and do an eternal work, which is? Promote the eternal gospel.

If someone is not “reaching out to lay ahold of why Christ laid hold of them” were they ever really saved? meaning safe too? “Many are called but few are chosen”. Or “few are selected” the word that the Elect comes from.

But more seductively, meaning to seduce generally by stealth, of which the root word is steal, meaning theft. If you think about it, this is what Satan did to Adam and Eve with the apple. What he did was offer them an immediate gratification of becoming godly or god-like without the patience and perseverance, and they took a byte of it. Think of apple and byts here because there is a connection “desirable to make one wise”? Mmh! What does that sound like? That’s spiritual food.

1 John 2 says ¹⁵ Do not love the world or the things of the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in them. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but those who does the will of God abides forever.”

So then how does Satan seduce? How do they reduce you? They contract you. Get it? Contract to reduce?

Everytime you sign a contract, you’ve been restricted from advancing in the spirit because you took the easy way like with the Apple. And everytime you accept terms and conditions, you have been conditioned and terminated some of your options. This is how you’ve been restricted. These documents are legal and binding. Binding, do you get it? Like in a bundle. A bundle of services and options is a big block for ones spiritual development. But they sure make you feel safe.

And as innocuous as they may seem, I mean everyone is doing it and nobody is really getting hurt. I say but of course not, or not yet. You see in those terms and conditions there is a Claus that states that by you continuing to use their product you continue to agree to terms and conditions. And here is the kicker. They in writing claim the right to change their terms and conditions anytime they want and it is up to you to keep yourself updated to their changes. Could their be some proposed purposefull event or series of events take place for them to do a lock down on maybe your ability to let’s say purchase or buy, lest you trade you card and online banking abilities for a more convenient method? Let’s say maybe a chip?

With each of these your spiritual vision and understanding grows weekend and weekend. After all everyone is doing it right?

The Kingdom of God is at hand! In whose care are you under? Whose God you covered? Who are you contracted with and restricted by? You need to know. You need to choose. Your eternal life is at stake

Atonement Is At-One-Ment, To Be Mended Back Together. To be collected and cohesively re-united to “that which is from the beginning” being to God as Father.

The word “Atonement” in scripture means to be made one again, At-one-mention, referring to the fracture or the divide that took place at the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden. It was there that sin entered in-between the relationship between God and man and the need for the institution of the gospel invitation to reconnect and reconcile God and humanity again. To unite and cohesively make one, one person at a time, each one in their own order. So maybe it’s your turn.

You see Adam and Eve responded to the invitation of the counterfeit way to be made whole or complete by something “pleasing to the eyes that makes one wise”. So the apple was for the mind and not the stomach, and shows us where the curse needed to be reversed at. Not our outward person but inwardly to be sufficient by recieving God’s Son and Holy Spirit, for they are the two elements that were missing, and the need to be reconnected, or made one, to have at-one-ment. These phrases are synonymous.

It is to those who respond to the invitation to “repent”, which simply means to do a proverbial about face to return to the first Father God, who made us in His image, to interact with face to face. Not that our Heavenly Father has eyes and features such as we have when we look into the mirror. But when we look into His mirror called scripture in the light of His Holy Spirit, which was given to us to become like Him in our hearts and minds. These are the only two things that we have to perfectly interact with and outwardly project the image of God in whose image we were originally made. This Atonement is also the restoration to “that which is from the beginning”.

In this way we are made one (Atonement) again. It is a union to be unified, to married and wed and perfectly joined together, to never again be separated from the Father and His non-stop care and provisions for us as being always within our reach.  For He has said “I will never leave you forsaken”. It is mankind that can leave and forsake this relationship and union by rebellion, and fear causes a partial separation too.

That is why when someone goes to another source to have their needs met, it fractures their union with their Heavenly Father, by uniting with and being provided for by another source, which is the root word and correct corolation to the meaning of sorcery. Now a days it is understood as out-sourcing, by requesting sources from outside when what you need is always sourced from within. Remember God has said “I will never leave you or forsake you” and “The Kingdom of God is within you”. Because of this we know the we were promised to “ask anything in My name and the Father will give it to you”. And “which one of you with a child who asks for food do you give them a stone?” And “look at the birds in the sky. Not one of them falls to the ground. And look at the Lillie’s in the field. Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as spectacular as these” but we are. How much more will your Heavenly Father cloth you with His clothing? These are all part and parcel of things in “The Kingdom of God at hand” of God’s things that are within reach.

That is what the biblical term “at hand” means. Which is also confirmed when Gods Only Begotten said that “I will never forsake you” and “I am with you throughout the ages, even to the ends of the ages”. Yes His care and provisions for you and me and all that He has is this thorough to all that put their trust in the Almighty God and Heavenly Father.

Also from 2 Corithians ”

¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. ¹⁸ Now all things are from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and has given us this ministry of reconciliation (a term that means at-one-ment), ¹⁹ that is, that God was in Christ reconciling (making one) the world to Himself, not ^[d]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation (Atonement).

²⁰ Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled (at-one-with) God. ²¹ For He made Him who knew no sin to be our sin, for us to become the righteousness of God (together) in Him.” 

Hebrews 2 teaches about the house of Moses in contrast to the house of the Son of God, ⁵ And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward, ⁶ but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house (members)

we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope ^[a]firm to the end.” Meaning we can loose it and society as a whole has lost the care, covering and provisions supplied to us by our Heavenly Father for other service providers.

If you can conceptualize that a house is a term to mean a place of care. This is where the offspring get their food, clothing, safety and cures for all the ills that one may experience.

But you need to beware, any other allegences you have, any other providers for care and coverages you subscribe to, partitions you off from Gods provisions He has for you to make you whole, full, cared for and covered. That is what His “Atonement” is all about…. And without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. And because of the cross we have this store house of remission. Everytime we forget and condemn ourselves in our conscious, like the Hebrews with Moses. We see the pole/ tree raised up to look at, and see the dead snake and accusers fate is past tense. This should allow you to quit condemning yourself and keep moving in the faith.

From Hebrews “how much more shall the blood of Christ purge your minds from sin to serve the living God” and we will add “in righteousness peace in the Holy Spirit”. You see an Eternal bring cannot do something in part or half way. And when Christ hung limp on the cross, being pronounced dead, His blood dripping off His side from the spike, dribbling on the earth below. He effectually cleansed the whole earth and all that were buried, turned to dust or blown with the wind, for all time past, present and future for all time and eternity because that’s how an eternal being does things. This is what righteousness means. It was fine once forever. It was done right. For this reason “How much more the blood of Christ through the eternal spirit purge your conscience (of self condemnation) to serve the living God”.

Are you getting this? Well then think of the lady who was caught in the very act of adultery by the Jewish leaders who marched her in to the Son of God to condemn her. Christ glaring them in the eyes, stopped down to write in the dirt, which is appropriate to do with those made from it. Then scribbled in the dirt the dirtiness of their hearts and one by one they walked out condemned and defenceless and ashamed. But if the woman they wanted to stone? Christ said “woman! Where are your accusers? Neither do I accuse you”. The blame never clears you, just the blood of Christ. And because of such a sacrificial love, YOU need to let the past and your old way of thinking and judging go, for yourself and to others. They are in Gods hands. You are free from these things to arise to your inheritance. Not a resurrection arise. You were already made alive, but now you must arise, meaning ascension arise. To take your seat “far above all principalities and powers and any other name purporting to have power over you. “Get behind me Satan because you are not mindful of the things of God but men”. Amen!

Atonement is synonymous with the term “propitiation” which is also translated as “covering” like an umbrella, depending on which translation of scripture you read, as seen here in 1 John 2.1 that “we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. ² And He Himself is the propitiation (covering, provider, umbrella) for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world”.

We see with the introduction of the Law period that God spoke to the people and said “The Lord our God is One God”. The Hebrew word for one is echad, and means congruent, cohesively connected with no fissures, breaks or separations.

We see the reversal of the fall, the dealing with the sin of all sins and the mend of that fissure appropriately wiped out with the cross of the Christ and the administering of the gospel in its full development. You see the law could not make anyone of us perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did through which we draw close to God.

Romans 6. Being Dead to Death and Dying. To not have to deal with it anymore. This is the Gospel!

The whole purpose of The Christ of the Cross and the Gospel from the scripture, is to deal with death and dying and the fear of it. It is the innate formation of the carnal mind that is focused on self, dying and the preservation of the carnal self that is dead to the things of God. The life that they live now as they fortify their earthbound existence and to assay their carnal fears of loss of self, health, wealth and length of life to try to avoid at all costs the ultimate dying by desease or accident and ultimate death.

This happens only because their fear of dying is proof that they are already dead to the things of the living God who gifted to us the true life of righteousness by faith baring, peace and joy of the Holy Spirit that we experience aside from those fear curtailing mechanisms advertised to you, that try to direct people away from a new life experienced through His Son.

It was He who went to the cross “to deliver those who all their life was subject to the fear of death”. Because it is the fear of death that is your prison cell that keeps you from experiencing the carefree thinking and other provisions given to us from the Almighty God whose Son was splayed (displayed) at the cross, arms wide open saying “come unto Me and I will give you life. Not just any life, but Eternal life”. There is NO death here.

This is something hard to understand when what you see now is temporary and in a state of decay and decline, subject to the law of entropy. Just like a clock that has been wound needs to be rewound, but the earth has a time when it won’t. So we need to be sure to make a clear distinction between what is fact and what is-real, and what is not (Israel) in Gods economy. Because if you are found having too much stock in the temporal, you will likely get burned as you try to let go. (2 Peter 3.10)

For this reason there is an Exodus. As a matter of truth that is what the whole book of Exodus in scripture is all about our transfiguration to the other side of the fear of death.

It describes the blood of the lamb over your doorpost, a departure from the slavery and the angel of death passing over, to then go through water to be washed and renewed in Spirit to be freed to aquire the things the Father has of Himself, given for ourselves to become like His self. These are the Israel and what is-real to us from the Almighty God.

Those visuals were just given for us to learn to put them on in the spirit of our minds, to apply in our understanding during our carnal experience on earth. That is what the word godliness means, to put Him on, and also what it means to be “in Christ”. To be in Christ is to be in the Holy Land called Israel ( Exodus 4.-) Meaning in the provisions of God, outlined in His Will and Testament in force with the death of His Son.

The Son of God put on a temporary human body to show us the way. Then He offered Himself up to the cross His carnal existence as a payment in exchange  for us. A life in exchange for His life. This was all done for the purpose to give you and  His life, health, happiness, safety, security and retirement called “the Sabbath days rest as defined in Hebrews chapter 4. “for those who have entered their rest have ceased from their works like the Father did from His (Hebrews 4). That is what the Sabbath days rest is in reference to and this is the place we should be found by Him while we are still in human form.

If you accept the reality that Christ went to the cross to take on our death, to neutralize that effect, to give us “newness of life” restored to “that which is from the beginning before the fall with Adam and Eve who fled for coverage from another.

If you can understand that, you could then realize that IF we have to experience our own death after He took on our death sentence unto Himself, that would be either double jeopardy or just your unbelief. This is an insult to the Godhead, because He died not just for us, but payment has been rendered for all of humanity. Everybody in the whole world (1 John 2 and John 3.17) throughout creation for all of time, wether they accept the gift of life or not, payment has been rendered and paid in full, so that they are without excuse.

You see an eternal One can make that payment because there are no linier timeframe restrictions or size and amount limitations to those who are timeless and immeasurable because they are eternally outside of time and not subject to the barriers they created for mankind whom they control and govern. They are not subject to the restrictions and such as are common to humanity and fallen angels. The Godhead is completely separate from and control over.

And the gift that They offer us in the gospel is just that, an eternal non-linier way of living. A timeless one like They have. Otherwise They have only supplied a bandage, then the gospel of the cross has no completion but points to another event to save humanity, but that is an insult. For even John the Baptist said to Christ “are you the coming one, or do we seek another? To which Christ; 22 answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them. 23 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.” (Luke 7) Why? Because we get those things too. But you must trade in the old for the new. You cannot serve God and Mammon so be careful how you participate in those provisions.

How is that for a health, safety and life insurance policy? And the only payment due for this is thankfulness and graditude. Your money has no value here but is an insult. You choose.

So it is the mindset of their very self that does so because that is all their mind can do without correctly understanding the life of God that was in Christ Jesus and was given to us in His will and testament and activated then for some, and retroactive for other, and continues to be available to all who are willing to accept this gift of life in Christ. He defeated sin and death to deal with it once and for all who believe in Him to start living their eternal life at the moment they first believe knowing that death no longer has power over us. So what is your worst case scenario fear? Take it to the cross because Christ took that too.

Here is what is written in Romans about those who grapple with this topic.

6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin  that grace may abound? ² Certainly not! How shall we who have died to sin (being separated from the Father) live any longer in it? ³ Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ were baptized into His death? ⁴ Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into His death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we too can walk in newness of life”.

And this life that we talk about is diametrically opposite of the living dead of being carnally alive but dead to the living God “at hand”. Their god is dead because he hasn’t given them anything yet.

And we continue from Romans 5, since we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we are also united into the likeness of His resurrection, (as a foregone conclusion) ⁶ knowing this, that our old man was (past tense) crucified with Him, for our body (of beliefs) of sin to be ^[a]done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. ⁷ For he who has died has been freed from (all) sin. ⁸ Now if we (through the working of faith have) died with Christ, we believe that we also live with Him (right now by being) “in Christ “, ⁹ knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him (and those He died for). ¹⁰ For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God (for us all too so that we). ¹¹ Likewise (in the same way live because He has gifted us His life, so) you also, ^[c]reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ our Lord. (In the eternal way He provided for you). 

¹² Therefore do not let sin, (death and all its associates) reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. ¹³ And do not present your members as ^[d]instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. ¹⁴ For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under (the scrutiny of the) law (that breads condemnation, guilt, dorrow and apologies) but (you are) under grace.” Like Christ said to the woman caught in the very act of adultery, woman where are your accusers? Then she looked up and only saw the love of God in His Son. And that is what we are suppose to do. He is the one we are to reflect. These are His words for us to use to accomplish the same thing. This is the working of the body of Christ. We are His hands, His eyes, ears and words. His compassion, empathy and forgiveness. Like He said, whoever’s sin you forgive I have forgiven.” There is your empowerment.

If you really understood what He gave you as outlined in scripture, you would quit groveling about your lower nature’s weaknesses and activate your new person like His person the same way He did by proclaiming it to be so. Let it be. Don’t keep your old man alive by accentuating your negative. Make your profession of faith about the new you. If you understood how effective this is, you would quit asking, groveling and praying for your carnal person, and awaken to the things already given to you as outlined in scripture as to “attaining to all the riches in Christ “. Can you say, Amen?

You could then quit focusing on and preparing for the old dead to God way of thinking, of trying to stay healthy and safe and such and realize that like a bird smashing itself against a window, thinking it’s fighting against an enemy, it has been fighting against itself with all its grovelling, because of the fear of self insufficiency that kept you paralyzed. But our sufficiency and our freedom is from Christ.

It goes like this from Corinthians; 4 And we have such trust through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the [a]Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious. 12 Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech— 13 unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. 15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

We don’t know if you are able to receive these coverages and godly features, but they are right here for the taking. And because this is all still true today because “today is the day of salvation), start to finish, we continue to proclaim that “The Kingdom of God is at hand”, meaning, within grasp, reachable and attainable, but only to your understanding.

This is the Gospel!
