LOOSEN THE DIVINE I FROM PRISON
These are words curled out of the twenty-fifth chapter the of book of Matthew on the parable on the separation of the sheep from the goats when the Lord shall appear in glory with His holy angels. It is explained that the sheep who receive the everlasting blessing, visited the Lord in prison, feed Him when He was hungry, and clothed Him when He was found to be naked.
Again, the infallible word comes knocking at the door declaring that you are the very essence of the living God, the image and the likeness of the immortal and incorruptible One. You are Almighty, King and Creator of the universe. You are the immaculate one, you are love, innocence, kindness, and the beauty of perfection. In Unisom with the likes of you, you are the one divine entity in the universe.
Words like these sound farfetched to the human mind that has become so acquainted with sorrow, pain and every contrary thing. Why does this great eulogy from above sound so high and unreal to the natural mind? Here lies the problem, that which is the essence of the Almighty God finds himself entangled in the sticky maze of humanity. He is snared and taken prisoner by the words of his mouth; his very beliefs have disrobed him and limited him to time and space. In all of this, he finds himself a prisoner to a lustful and sinful nature and hence plunges endlessly into a bottomless pit of unbelief. Unbelief that I am He, the One clothed with an apparel of light, who only sits above the circle of the earth. This is the “I” that has been stripped of his royal apparel and imprisoned by his false beliefs in chains of passions, desires, emotions etc.
The day of the Lord of creation is come, a day to loosen the captives and also a day of judgement. The great invisible king is being seen in the creation as the holy messengers aligned with him declare his word. His invisible qualities are clearly being seen by all men as his ministers reveal things that had been hitherto hidden from men. He is being unveiled and seen in the creation, in all and through all things.
You who are blessed with eyes to see and ears to hear, lift your eyes to the everlasting hills of Zion and contemplate the King in His glory. Like sheep who hear and follow the voice of the Master, obediently allow the inner auction to lead you back to the Lord’s presence, the right hand of pleasures and power. It is more like applying truth revealed to loosening yourself from the lies and deceitfulness of the corrupt mortal man and putting on the true image of the Spirit man from heaven.
With the rays of light emanating from the face of the radiant One, edify your famished soul with truth, listen and remember from whence you have fallen. Return to yourself, your first state, your first love. In your heart, commune, with the eternal Spirit, and rediscover your light garment and cover the shame of your nakedness. In your patience work out your salvation by restoring your soul back to its place in the heights of God.
The goat represents the carnal mind that opposes that which is of the Spirit, indeed it cannot know the things of God. The Father’s will is that all men hear the truth and obediently obey it by exiting the realm of the flesh. Disobedience amounts to continuing in the lies of mortal existence, thus leaving the “I” within naked and famished in the prison house of sin and death. Non-conforming to the celestial image of the Lord is rebellion against the voice of truth, and the perpetuator has the torments of greater unbelief and torment to contend with in what is called the wrath of God against every form disobedience. In the fiery unquenchable intensity of the light /flame of His presence, carnality in all its manifestations of hell and death is dissolved and blown away like shaft as though it were not.
Let all men who hear these words loosen themselves from the prison house of mortality and corruptibility, loosen God, the “I” within and rediscover your place of eternal security, rest and pleasures in the Father, the Spirit.
