Thank you for visiting the BeLOnGings blog again. It’s been an intriguing journey over the past three plus years, as I have held it lightly from week to week, but time and again have received the next ‘message’ arising out of a reflective conversation with God.
Just after posting last week I ‘happened’ to come across a documentary on YouTube called “A Glitch in the Matrix.” It is posted above. This Rebel Wisdom production is about the wisdom that has been gained by someone who was in, and then stepped ‘outside the camp’ of mainstream media.
(Some time ago I recommended a docu-series available on Youtube called “The Century of the Self” This is a more current (and shorter) update on the same theme. I would recommend watching it.)
The Red religion and Blue ‘Church’ described (which have obvious political connotations) are clearly references to the red and blue pills that are offered to Neo in The Matrix movie. These are identified as two ‘personality types’, one characterized by ‘openness’ the other by ‘order’ The poles of masculinity and femininity are also identified.
The documentary describes how these biological differences are currently being exploited, increasing polarization and antagonism in order to exercise control….. bringing ‘hell’ on earth!
I am a man (mainly masculine, but also feminine.) Hilary is a woman (mainly feminine but also masculine). Hilary leans more toward ‘order’ and I toward ‘openness’. St. Paul talks about the complementarity of ‘apostolic’ and ‘prophetic’.
“And now, because we are united to Christ, we both have equal and direct access in the realm of the Holy Spirit to come before the Father! So, you are not foreigners or guests, but rather you are the children of the city of the holy ones, with all the rights as family members of the household of God. You are rising like the perfectly fitted stones of the temple; and your lives are being built up together upon the ideal foundation laid by the APOSTLES and PROPHETS, and best of all, you are connected to the Head Cornerstone of the building, the Anointed One, Jesus Christ himself! This entire building is under construction and is continually growing under his supervision until it rises up completed as the holy temple of the Lord himself. This means that God is transforming each one of you into the Holy of Holies, his dwelling place, through the power of the Holy Spirit living in you!” (Ephesians 2:18-22 TPT)
My favorite time of the day is during the night, when I will frequently wake after a few hours sleep and lie for an hour maybe two or even three, ‘open’ to hearing God’s voice. It is often at these times I receive the clearest spiritual revelation.
My next favorite time in the day is when I sit down with my wife at the breakfast table the next morning. I talk over with her what I have received and get her feedback as she brings balance and ‘order’ to my prophetic insights.
By the end of our conversation there is always a great peace and clarity as to what we need to know and what we need to do.
I believe it is a fulfillment of God’s promise, “I will meet with you between the cherubim.” (Ex.25:22)
This is the blueprint for bringing ‘heaven’ on earth where the two elements whether seen in terms of gender, personality, or ministry flow together in harmony to build not destroy to unite and not divide. This is the complementarity I was referencing at the end of last week’s blog – the ‘blessing’ that God commands when brothers (and sisters) dwell together in unity. (Ps.133)
I believe the KEY that can open this door that takes us from hell to heaven is found in Micah 6:8
“What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, and to love mercy ………and to walk humbly with your God.”
“….to walk humbly with God” is the key. This is what saves us from ending up isolated and separated from one another in a red religion of ‘judgement and order’ or in a blue ‘mercy and openness’ church.
Paul’s instruction to the Ephesians to “Be very careful then how you live not as unwise but as WISE, making the most of every opportunity for the days are evil.” is more relevant now than ever. He prefaces it with the exhortation:
“AWAKE, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and CHRIST will give you light.” (Eph.5:14)
Our motivation is to be faith not fear. “Faith comes by hearing….. and hearing by the word of God”. God gives us clear direction in the way we should go, step by step, as we take the ‘position’ of listening together at the feet of Jesus.
As I finished typing this blog I again ‘just happened’ to click on the link below. Like this guy who says he has never spoken in a church before, I have never watched this guy before…..although I’ve heard his name…. Tucker Carlson. If you only have a few minutes start at 6 min 50 secs.
As you will have gathered over the years, I am not a ‘political’ creature. I see this rather as an amazingly timely confirmation from Father of what I had just written about!
