			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Luke 23:34<br />
&#8220;Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.&#8221;</p>
<p>As Jesus was bleeding and in the greatest pain a man could go through, He asked the Father to forgive those that were blaspheming Him and crucifying Him. Even though the men knew what they were doing, Jesus still looked through the lens of “Love” and saw that they were not meaning to really destroy Him. This would seem as though Jesus was not really meaning what He was saying yet in “Love” there is no reasoning or discrimination. Love is beyond reason but yet it is the answer to all of man’s troubles. He is the Answer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Psalms 19:4-6 In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,<br />
Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,<br />
And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.  Its rising is from one end of heaven,<br />
And its circuit to the other end;<br />
And there is nothing hidden from its heat. </p>
<p>As the sun rises upon the earth, its essence and power within seems to shine brighter and until its full brilliancy. The sun does not have a mouth our a tongue to send out an audible voice to rebuke to the darkness upon the earth.  At its rising, the light and authority that shines from within, causes darkness to give preference to the God appointed atmospheric king of elements. Darkness then bows slowly as light rises, and eventually there is know darkness to be found. Darkness has been vanquished or rebuked.</p>
<p>When the son was birthed, he was birthed in darkness as it was with the birthing of light in the beginning. Yet as he increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man, the &#8220;Great Light&#8221; became brighter and brighter.  At times when he entered regions, the Life within would start to spread as light spreads with the rising of the sun. It would take dominion, binding demons and darkness with Him not having to move his mouth.  Demons of darkness would run to Him, bow and beg Him not to throw them into the abyss. Or at times, this &#8220;Son,&#8221;  which shined much brighter than the sun, would enter a synagogue bringing all of the life and light of heaven with Him. It caused darkness in man to be bound immediately.  The demons would yell out &#8220;You have come to destroy us!&#8221; This is the lifestyle of Jesus. This is what demons recognize. This is the life of the Son. This is what God gave back to man through His Son. The eternal life and light that was birthed in creation and within man from the beginning.  God gave man, without any strings attached, His Life and Light that was in Heaven. Man&#8217;s true Life can bind the enemy as the Sun binds darkness. Live the Life! Bind darkness! Be a Son. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Psalms 18:28 &#8211; For You will light my lamp;<br />
The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. </p>
<p>Upon the earth, the lamp of life had gone out in the hearts of man and creation was suffering. Suddenly, a living flame was born that gave out light as strong as the sun. Men gazed upon the Light and life was born again. All creation started to awaken, for the Spirit of Life was bridged back on the earth through the Son. If your lamp has gone out and it is completely dark in your life, Jesus is more than happy to rekindle the flame and cause love to spring up in and around you.  Jesus is the true Lamp that gives light to the world. He is the &#8220;Lamp Lighter.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Psalms 17:15<br />
 As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;<br />
I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness. </p>
<p>There is only one thing that man truly longs for &#8211; That is to gaze upon the man that has loved him from the foundations of the universe. Deep within, he truly yearns to look at the man that has endured all things for him and has loved him even unto death, and to gaze upon the very Seed of Life that created his existence, to become possessed and transformed into a life giving glorious Spirit within and without. To become like his firstborn brother &#8211; Jesus. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ecclesiastes 1:9 &#8211; There is nothing new under the sun.  This is absolutely true. However, all things are new above the sun. Under the sun, in the dimension of the earthly realm, there are rules and regulations that have been sown by fear to keep man under bondage so that he cannot reach his full potential. God’s dimension is above the sun. He is far above all rule and authority, and above all principalities and powers. This dimension is the place God gave man to dwell in while on the earth.  When man awakens to his true position, he is capable of releasing heaven within his world and erase the boundaries of fear. Because of the cross this is now available.  Man can now live above the boundaries and sit with the true Son. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>John 21:20-22 says,Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, &#8220;Lord, who is the one who betrays You?&#8221; 21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, &#8220;But Lord, what about this man?&#8221; </p>
<p>22 Jesus said to him, &#8220;If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.&#8221; </p>
<p>At times we find ourselves choosing God’s friends,  by judging the type of people that walk closely with Him.  This tactic of the enemy only takes us away from experiencing our own close walk with Him. If we let God choose his friends, we then can enjoy our relationship not only with Him but with those that God has chosen to walk with us. Judgment only separates us from experiencing the love of God and the love of our friends that we are connected with. Just follow Jesus and let Him take care of the rest.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>John 19:1-4 So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.  2 And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe. 3 Then they said, &#8220;Hail, King of the Jews!&#8221; And they struck Him with their hands.<br />
4 Pilate then went out again, and said to them, &#8220;Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in Him.&#8221; </p>
<p>When Jesus came upon the earth, He not only died for our sins, but also by the things He did and said, mirrored to man his true  nature,authority and power that was given to him from the foundations of the world.</p>
<p>In this scripture we see an example through Jesus’ pain, our true make up. Even though man be scourged by the authority of this world, and his mind twisted by the thorns of deceit, he is still is able to show and give pure love and forgiveness in the midst of it all.  Though man be struck on the face by the life of this dark world, and be clothed by mockery and rejection, man has the ability to turn the other cheek and release power and forgiveness in his situation. This power enables his heart to stay clean and come out of the trial without any fault found within him. Jesus did not go through these pains for His own sake, but for ours. So that we could truly see that we are made in the same nature as He. The nature and image of Love.  Man’s nature, “Love”, has power to overcome every evil thing that approaches upon his life. Through this small passage, it only shows that man is truly “Supernatural.” If you are being mocked, rejected or persecuted by the enemy, it only proofs that you are like Christ. The image of God. For Satan hates the true image of man. He hates “Love.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Matt 25:36 &#8211; I was in prison and you came to Me.&#8217; </p>
<p>Most prisoners are those that have been given a judgement of bondage or punishment because of a wrong doing or because of a breaking of the law. There are many people in this world that have brought upon themselves judgements that have put them in a dark prison. However, Jesus strongly considers these people as “He” being in prison. We have the power to set Him free of these prisons by forgiving them as He forgave us yet while we were in prison (sin). We have the power to find, visit, and love without prejudice those that are in bondage. He came and visited us upon the earth while we were in prison and showed us that “Love” is the power that swings the doors of prisons open and sets man’s heart free. He set man free so that he could be free. Find a prisoner today and visit Him. If you love a prisoner, you are loving Jesus. Love Him and set Him free.</p>
