A Reminder of Spiritual FREEDOM!

Today I was awakened after a full morning's sleep. It was a deep sleep. A whole lotta Rapid Eye Movement DREAM sleep - which i'm shure i needed!

God openned the floodgates on my dreams again - i guess! I'm a dreamer. I always dream. Spiritual dreams and natural ones (produced by my mind); but God speaks to me in dreams a LOT! I can take a 10 minute nap and have a dream -- every time. I've had thousands of spiritual dreams since my "baptism in the Holy Spirit" at age 19.

Anyway, didn't wanna get into all that... just wanted to mention how pleased i was to have been taken thru all those adventures in my dreams this morning on Independence Day. 

You see, i haven't been "getting out" that much recently. I've been extremely reclusive; feeling like a "mad scientist" locked away in a laboratory. It's been a God-thing; but still it's been an unusual and uncomfortable time -- these last 3 years.

So, when I experience the kind of dream life I did this morning -- when I wish so badly to be "out & about" with other humans (friends preferably, of course) -- it really feels good, like an escape. I must've had 12 dreams this morning! VIVID ones! EXPERIENTIAL in nature -- verses simply VISUAL.

Anyway, the point of me sharing this is that yesterday, i was reminded by HIM that one of the reasons I struggled so much my first week in this Transformation Challenge was because I was only employing what i was learning (or re-learning) here. I had only been using a couple other of my own "spiritual disciplines" to help me along in my transformation! I've been so immersed and pre-occupied with integrating the wonderful new things (in our assignments, etc.) within my life so that it becomes second nature, that i TOTALLY neglected most of the things that normally give me that supernatural edge spiritually. Even when I haven't been totally myself and REALLY struggling internally, these "disciplines" (things I do to feed and edify me spiritually) keep me above the water so i don't DROWN when there's a tempest!

okay, so I am REPENTING -- again!  :-) 

(i do that a LOT - anytime I discover I need to change, I do
-- or at least I know i OUGHT to - but sometimes it takes a while)

This time I don't have a while! I need to transform RAPIDLY! We don't have 18 months - it's 18 WEEKS!
...and besides, all this is stuff I already know!  I just need to apply what i know.

I was reminded how supernaturally I've lived during the seasons when I FOCUSED and REALLY applied what I knew. It was amazing how things came together -- regardless of the sometimes rediculous obstacles (which has been the story of my life many times).

So, this morning I began to look for my docs with my "creative WORDs" I would typically speak daily over my life and circumstances -- and in every arena of my life. When I found them so quickly and noticed my last revision date was JULY 4, 2007 - i knew it was a "divine appointment" with my CREATIVE WORDS. :-)  ....i INSTANTLY wanted to share what I do with the community, so I set up another BLOG category called MY SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES. ...and as I re-integrate them with everything I am doing in our Assignments, I will share them with you -- God willing.

My REMINDER (from the Holy Spirit) was that what I am pursuing and cooperating with HIM to experience (more of Divine Health) was already purchased by my "Elder Brother" Christ - the firstborn One. And, that my FAITH should be in what is already my rightful inheritance -- FREEDOM from the negative effects of the "sin principle" (evil residual) that contaminates my spiritual & natural environments. I need to employ what I've been taught in order to TRULY maximize my transformation and TRULY BE who I AM designed to be... and BE HOW I am designed to be.

...and I AM definitely FREE from addictions to ANYthing that is unhealthy for me -- including wrong foods, wrong actions, wrong thoughts and wrong relationships!

That's the TRUTH. I am determined to LIVE it.
