METRON 8-26-18 –’MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!: Discovering New Dimensions of the Holy Spirit in The Now’, Part III

Today’s Notes:

I – “I will pour out my Spirit on every kind of people…”
(Joel 2:28 – The Message)

II – “Then it will come about at a later time that I will pour out my Spirit on every person.”
(Joel 2:28 – ISV)

III – “Then in those days I will pour My Spirit to all humanity; your children will boldly and prophetically speak the word of God. Your elders will dream dreams; your young warriors will see visions. No one will be left out. In those days I will offer My spirit to all servants, both male and female.”
(Joel 2:28, 29 – The Voice)

IV – “Now, at that time there were Jewish worshipers who had emigrated from many different lands to live in Jerusalem. When the people of the city heard the roaring sound, crowds came running to where it was coming from, stunned over what was happening, because each one could hear the disciples speaking in his or her own language. Bewildered, they said to one another, “Aren’t these all Galileans? So how is it that we hear them speaking in our own languages? We are northeastern Iranians, northwestern Iranians, Elamites, and those from Mesopotamia, Judea, east central Turkey, the coastal areas of the Black Sea, Asia, north central Turkey, southern Turkey, Egypt, Libyans who are neighbors of Cyrene, visitors from all over the Roman Empire, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs. Yet we hear them speaking of God’s mighty wonders in our own dialects!” They all stood there, dumbfounded and astonished, saying to one another, “What is this phenomenon?” But others poked fun at them and said, “They’re just drunk on new wine.” Peter stood up with the eleven apostles and shouted to the crowd. “Listen carefully, my fellow Jews and residents of Jerusalem. You need to clearly understand what’s happening here. These people are not drunk like you think they are, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. This is the fulfillment of what was prophesied through the prophet Joel, for God says: ‘This is what I will do in the last days—I will pour out my Spirit on everybody and cause your sons and daughters to prophesy, and your young men will see visions,and your old men will experience dreams from God. The Holy Spirit will come upon all my servants, men and women alike, and they will prophesy.”
(Acts 2:5-18 – TPT)

V – Peter said to them, “You all know that it is against the Jewish laws for me to associate with or even visit the home of one who is not a Jew. Yet God has shown me that I should never view anyone as inferior or ritually unclean.
(Acts 10:28 – TPT)

VI – While Peter was speaking, the Holy Spirit cascaded over all those listening to his message. The Jewish brothers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on people who weren’t Jews, for they heard them speaking in supernaturally given languages and passionately praising God.
(Acts 10:44, 45 – TPT)

VII – “For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is.” – Yoda

Today’s Notes:

I – “Remember…the Force will be with you, always.”
– Obi Wan Kenobi

II – “If you love me, show it by doing what I’ve told you. I will talk to the Father, and he’ll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you. This Friend is the Spirit of Truth. The godless world can’t take him in because it doesn’t have eyes to see him, doesn’t know what to look for. But you know him already because he has been staying with you, and will even be in you!
(John 14:15-17 – The Message)

III – “If you are habitually loving Me…you WILL continue observing…My implanted goals (impartations of the finished product within; inward directives; interior purposes and destiny)…and I Myself will continue asking…the Father, and He will proceed to be giving another Helper (One called alongside to give assistance, relief, comfort and encouragement; Paraclete) of like kind to you folks – to the end that He (or: It) can continue being…with you folks on into the midst of the Age – “the Spirit of the Truth (or: the spirit and breath of reality; the Breath-effect and Attitude which is Reality), whom…the System (world; ordered arrangement of religion, politics and culture; the controlling system) has no power…to receive, because it is not habitually gazing upon It (or: Him) with contemplation (continually viewing and watching it with attentive interest), nor is it coming to intimately and experientially know It (or: Him). Yet YOU folks are progressively knowing It (or: Him) by intimate experience, because It (or: He) is continuously dwelling (remaining; abiding) alongside you folks – in your presence – and It (or: He) continuously exists…within, in union with, and among you people.
(John 14:15-17 – JMNT)

IV -The essence of humanity’s spiritual dilemma is that we evolved genetically to accept one truth and discovered another. Is there a way to erase the dilemma, to resolve the contradictions between the transcendentalist and the empiricist world views?
~ E. O. Wilson

V – “The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that its center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.” ― Black Elk

VI – “Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force – that thoughts rule the world.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

VII – “Jesus, the One from Nazareth – even as how God anointed Him with [a/the] set-apart Breath-effect (or: Holy Spirit; Sacred Attitude) even for (or: and with) power and ability – Who went throughout repeatedly doing works bringing goodness, ease and well-being, as well as constantly healing all the folks being continuously held down under power (tyrannized and oppressed) by the one that casts things through folks (the accuser, slanderer, adversary)… because God was with Him.”
(Acts 10:38 – JMNT

I – “But here’s the truth: It’s to your advantage that I go away, for if I don’t go away the Divine Encourager will not be released to you. But after I depart, I will send him to you.”
(John 16:7 – TPT)

That will be glorifying Me, seeing that of Mine will it be getting, and informing you.”
(John 16:13, 14 – CLV)

IV – “Yet, whenever that One – the Spirit of the Truth (or the Breath-effect from Reality; the attitude which is genuineness) – may come…It (or He) will constantly be a Guide and will progressively lead you on the Path (or it will continue leading the way for you) directed toward and proceeding on into all Truth and Reality (or into the midst of every truth and genuine reality) – for It (He; it) will not habitually speak from Itself (or: Himself), but rather, as many things as It (He; it) continuously hears, It (He; it) will proceed speaking, and will continue reporting back to you the things presently and progressively coming, as well as those that are habitually coming and going.”

METRON 7-29-18 – FREE YOUR MIND AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW: Healthy Thinking and Prospering as Your Soul Prospers, Part V

Today’s Notes:

I – “So above all, guard the affections of your heart, for they affect all that you are. Pay attention to the welfare of your innermost being, for from there flows the wellspring of life.”
(Proverbs 4:23 – TPT)

II – “Carefully guard your thoughts because they are the source of true life.”
(Proverbs 4:23 – CEV)

III – “The closer you come to knowing that you alone create the world of your experience, the more vital it becomes for you to discover just who is doing the creating.” ― Eric Micha’el Leventhal

IV – “The hormones of stress, in the long term, push the genetic buttons that create disease. When we live by the hormones of stress and all of the energy goes to these hormonal centers and away from the heart, the heart gets starved of energy. As long as we are living by the hormones of stress, we are living as a materialist, because the hormones of stress cause us to believe that the outer world is more real than the inner world.
“The hormones of stress make us feel separate from possibility (of learning, creation and trust). If the hormones of stress are like a narcotic and we could turn on the stress response just by thought alone, then we could get addicted to our thoughts.”
“People can get addicted to the adrenaline and the stress hormones, and they start using the problems and conditions in their life to reaffirm their emotional addiction, so they can remember who they think they are. The bad circumstances, the bad relationship, the bad job, all of that is in place because the person needs that to reaffirm their emotional addiction.”– Dr. Joe Dispenza
