As time moves on, it seems that we are touching upon the micro specs of stability, in our human journey of ongoing becoming into being.

Male and female are both faced with the question: "What is a whole person and how do "I" become complete?

How do I and do you and do we sustain what's needed to go on living and growing? is the kind of essential questions that set the rails of locomotion from idea to happening, be it at home or at work or at play.

So the ideal lead-ership is a matter of the person(s) being made whole, complete and completing in the experience opened to feed and feedback from and to the essence of being - having - doing, whithin which the youth of creativity never gets old.

Some would simply say, being personable. 

 I wonder if you could tune in the higher currents of human power to wonder along with me, as to why does the British monarchy remains silent in the help that they can offer to the Arab Monarchies?

The British monarchiy has travelled the road to learn: "How do we become constitutional monarchies peacefully?

If her majesty, queen ElisabethII does not know, who does?" 

In writing so, I am hoping to point out to where I live, Canada, as an example that demonstrates where the Monarchy was and is being applied as gently as possible because of the Aboriginal and French factors.                                                                                                                                                                               

England's monarchy had to accept the transitional learning that was forced upon them to avoid the fate of France's monarchy, shortly before Great Britain went to constitutional manarchy, because of the fact that the people needed a genuine voice.

Constitutional monarchy is such a movement, which can be refined for the delivery being called for in the current Arab monarchies and dictatorships. 

The key to reform monarchies of old and dictatorships, is to travel on the road that takes humans from master to servant.

                             PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF HEALTH AND SCRIPTURES

My personal experience regarding scriptures and health began when I quit smoking tobacco. I was spending long periods of time exploring with self-massaging during prayer, in order to rebuild my health.
In doing so, our Lord took me on to learn from Him of His renewing power.

For years, Paul's verse was more fiction than reality when he says: "It is no longer I who lives but Christ Who lives in me."
By His grace, I came to understand and to experience that in the one Faith of Christ given to us by God, my ego is no longer the source of my being but Christ is.  

Conversion took me and takes me on and on from master of my life to the receptacle of Life.  

By apprenticing from the Spirit on how to host Him in His temple, namely my body, He guides me on to the ongoing increase of eternal life's vitality in my soul and body, where my eternal ego goes on living and growing from and to.

When I first began to explore ways to rebuild my health, He drove me to acquire a taste for health that I never had, one breath at the time
Each day, this newly acquired taste grew by leaps and bounds.  

Eventually, after a few years, I came across a verse from Proverbs 20,27 in French that I had never noticed which says:
"The breath of man is a lamp of the Eternal that reaches all the way to the bottom of the bowels."

Interestingly, in English, the same verse reads:
The spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD,
Searching all the inner depths of his inner most parts.

A quick study revealed that the words "breath, spirit, wind, flow, current" all have the same root word in Greek, being "pneuma".  So there is no conflict between the two very different rendering of this verse.  In fact, they greatly complete each other to enhance the depth of its reach.  

A lamp is made to brighten up and the spirit enlightens awareness.  When considering the English and French experience of that verse, the breath of man and the spirit of man come together to clear our view and perception of the invisibility’s presence and control, from within the visible.

So by the time I came across that verse of King Solomon, the Spirit had already guided me to experience the spirit-guided breath by which all of my body's insides became available to my perception’s awakening.
From this verse of Proverb 20,27, I received confirmation that my navigation to clear my breathing airways was coming to me under the guidance of the Spirit.

The more delicately and completly I learn to breath under the lead of the spirit, the more is the enlightenment of my insides happening.
This experience eventually took on the angle and dexterity of God breathing life in the dirt that became Adam...a living soul!
(short relevant read)   http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A22490930

From that experience, my vitality was entering wholesome areas of strength and clarity as I've never had known before, which led me to the permanent state of prayer, asking and feeding from the Lord into guiding me on, into His own prayer life, while He was on earth.

Often we read in the New-Testament of Jesus sending His disciples to go to sleep while He would go away to pray all night. In doing so, He would replenish His energy to go on being a source of divine blessing, even in spite of Himself, as we see when the woman touches Him while walking in the middle of a crowd.
He stopped walking and asked: "Who touched me, as I felt power coming out of me."Lk 8,40-48

This is a great example of the one kind of vital energy that we are given to feed our worship of the Father with praise and thanksgiving, creating within each child of God, the basic evidence to demonstrate the presence of the Spirit of power, love and wisdom, through our being, having, doing and living in this world of darkness.

Is 30,15 says:
For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel:
“ In returning and rest you shall be saved;
In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.”

This "returning" is the ongoing conversion of our soul and body’s appetites from animal to spiritual that happens in the discipline of denying myself, picking up the cross daily and following Jesus in newness of life.

When Paul searched the Lord for a particular health problem, the Lord answered by telling him: "My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is being perfected in weakness." 2Cor 12,7-10

What is weaker than death?
The weaker our mortal ego becomes from applying the daily discipline of the cross, which is the death of the animal, the stronger our eternal ego becomes from God's power of resurrection given to humanity in Christ-Jesus!

After a few years, as the exploration went on, I decided to look for "The local Church" in Edmonton. The local Church is an expression that I got from the teaching of Watchman Nee that was carried out from China to North America by Witness Lee, a colleague of Watchman Nee.

There, my wife and I came across someone who is a master of traditional Chinese herbology.
He introduced me to the understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with its view of the body’s reflexology and its relevant use of nature’s medicinal gifts.

As a result, my family and I are discovering the great blessing of how God distributes the knowledge of health maintenance and of healing that comes from His creation, being revealed under His guidance for several thousands of years to those who have sought to discover how to commune with nature.  

Here’s a report, among many, of such blessing bestowed upon our family:

                                   GOD'S GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE AND OUR HEALTH

Heb 10,10-12 says:
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

The heart and the mind is where God brings His laws to life into those to whom He reveals Himself.

Jesus declared:
And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”
So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’
And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and you will live.” Lk 19,25-27

I brought that passage to point out that there are 4 parts of the human being that Jesus confirms.

So when we consider those 2 passages of Hebrew and of Luke, we see that on the one hand, God puts His laws into our mind and our heart and then on the other hand, we are left to bring the soul and the body  to receive eternal life from the gift of God in our heart and our mind..

God does His part by bringing us to the revelation of Christ-Jesus, from which He gives each one the repentance, the faith, the forgiveness of sins, eternal life and His Spirit, Who then imparts us with the deliverance from sin and death, along with all the blessings that pertain to the divine nature, as we learn to grow from His gifts in our heart and mind, to our soul and body.

God's method for our healthy growth is found in the discipline by which we each grow into righteousness and holiness by learning to move His gift of eternal life from our heart to our soul and from our mind to our body.

That discipline is found in the order of Jesus when He says:
"If anyone wants to follow me, let him deny himself, pick up the cross daily and follow me."

The words "soul", "self" and "life" all have the same Greek root word. So "let him deny himself", can also read "let him deny his soul."
1 Cor 1,18 “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. “

The point of this discipline is for each child of God to be united in the death and resurrection of the Savior by the work of the Holy Spirit.

That same discipline is repeated by Paul in a different way, when he writes:
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Rm 12,1-2

Here are some supporting verses, first, regarding the movement from the heart to the soul:

For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, “‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” Rm 10,5-13

...and the from the mind to the body:

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Rm 8,10-11

The completion of this process is nicely described here:

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. Eph 4,17-24


                                                           BREATH-BALANCE-MOVEMENT

The Holy Spirit is teaching me how to let Him make Himself at home in my body, by letting Him guide me into His temple, all the way from my breathing Him into shaping my eternal ego, to expelling out all interference to God’s glory from my whole being.  

“No aggression that we leave behind us, to be replaced by You...” Jon Anderson’s lyric from the song Polonaise:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR3a9yVSEVs

By focusing on Breath-Balance-Movement in prayer, I'm physically apprenticing and growing to host the Holy Spirit in ceaseless prayer so that by His grace, I get to grow into an increasingly stronger temple of His, wholly dedicated and devoted to carry out His divine righteousness and holiness in the earthen vessel that I am, being raised up ever stronger into the spiritual vitality of THE loving God, with all of my heart, all of my soul, all of my strength and all of my mind and in loving my neighbour as myself...

...all of it because He loves us first, and wishes to radiate to each and all, so that all may become for each...

...Amen to God's Yes in us all...

                                           FROM PERSONAL TO COMMUNAL TO GLOBAL

Because personal health finds its source in spiritual being, living and relating, it is also logical that health quality also depends on extending itself from personal to communal, weaving the universal fabric of global care and unity.  

Jesus Himself is quite clear on that matter when He prays:
“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.  And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:  I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.  O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me.  And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” Jn 17,20-26

Accepting JUSTICE - PEACE - JOY by the Spirit, offers the possibility to see a socio-cultural chain-reaction moving from personal to communal, which can then bring about the economic and political changes with love and truth, instead of falling into the usual chaos of the world’s downward spiritual spiral.

Of course, such unity needs a platform of execution to radiate from out of that “world’s downward spiritual spiral”...  

...So here’s a plausible view offer from history, generated by, and for the movement of the Spirit to take root deeply for the good health, happiness and harmony of each and all, being made ready to radiate from the glory of God’s unifying unity, amongst all nations and cultures of the earth:

 

               HEALING of HUMANITY

               CANADA’S STRATEGIC POSITION

While learning to host people from the whole world with

hope, faith and love,

Aboriginals, English and French people of Canada are

growing from out of their historical constitutional conflict,

by the movement of unity, as we are being assembled

into position by the Ministry of Reconciliation to deploy

Humanity’s Universal Faculty of Living to all people of

the earth..

                                 MISSION

       Consolidating the Canadian model for the healing of 

                                 humanity

This consolidation unfolds by the movement of the Canadian population

from political sovereignty to cultural sovereignty.

Cultural sovereignty is:

<<< The ability to make decisions in serene maturity and knowledge,

equipped with the capacity to implement these decisions with complete

wisdom and responsibility.>>>

Cultural Sovereignty grows from the Ministry of Reconciliation taking root

from personal to communal to global.

HEALTH - EDUCATION - CORRECTION come together into a unified

policy to  build The Recovery Road from self-destruction to self-control

and community self-government.

                                          
                     SOVEREIGNTY CHALLENGE                 

Alberta, Québec and China come together in Canada to

implement Cultural Sovereignty and to bring into focus

Humanity’s Universal Faculty of Living, inspiring the rest

of Canada to carry on the journey of unity’s growth from

personal to communal to global...         

                              OUTCOME

Canada becomes the initial model and training ground

for the UN’s endeavours of reconciliation and of

development, in which the military follows and never

leads.

Gradually, we will come to see the day, when all useless

weapons will begin to be melted and reshaped into tools,

as we learn to live from the glory of God’s Presence in

each and all, heading, feeding and guiding Humanity’s

Cultural Sovereignty forever more...

...may all blessings be with us all...

 In Calgary, Canada, the Egyptian Orthodox Church announced that they will not celebrate Christmas tomorrow.
I view such a move as a clear demonstration of the void that calls out for God to awaken and to move the Body of Christ on earth.

When God first helps His people collectively, He usually begins with vision and knowledge.
"My people are destroyed for lack of vision and of knowledge" says the Lord.

This is how I come to view "The Perpetual Celebration of Easter upon the Land of Emmanuel", as containing the necessary vision and knowledge to awaken, to rally and to move the Church locally and globally, getting ready for the "wedding day" by rising down upon our knees, along with Paul's kneeling position,:

"... I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." Eph 3, 14-21

Such is the life of the Church personally, locally and globally...

Such is the simplicity of the majestic vision and knowledge that the Church is made of!

Such is the journey of vision and of knowledge are we offered to awaken to, by learning to kneel along with Paul's position.

Such spiritual state is the victory over the law of sin and death, celebrated by the overcomers; this celebrated victory is "The Perpetual Celebration of Easter"

Such celebration is only possible because of God among us, which is "The Land of Emmanuel", namely Christmas...

...hence, "The Perpetual Celebration of Easter upon The Land of Emmanuel" is the promised spiritual land of the New Covenant!

This is an expression for the Holy Spirit to extend the pathway of God's exodus from out of the confinement of tradition and sets of beliefs, being moved and assembled into the inner state of spiritual living, to radiate the New Jerusalem's voice and presence on earth as in heaven...

“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen." Mt 28, 18-20

 

 I just finished watching the news and in Egypt, there is growing concern among civic authorities, for the safety of 8 millions Orthodox Christians who are going to celebrate Christmas on Friday.

In our present globalizing age of instant markets and terror, the greatest message that the Body of Christ can practice and offer to Islam, is our demonstration of offering our bodies into a LIVING sacrifice to God, as opposed to a suicidal one.

This LIVING sacrifice demonstrates the testimony of Christ-Jesus in one's life and cannot be achieved by human will power.

Our living sacrifice is fed, drawn and guided within the gift of eternal life, shining forth in all of its simplicity, the presence and love of God in each and amongst all of His own.

That simplicity is that the Kingdom of God is justice, peace and joy by the Holy Spirit, and shines forth by the love we have and practice for one another, and reaching all the way to our enemy with the wise love that plants and waters the seed of eternal life and of conversion to the living God.

In the current big picture of the Body of Christ on earth, it seems to me that the 8 millions Orthodox Christians of Egypt are perfectly positioned to let go of tradition and to use Friday to begin the journey of the entire Ic's exodus from out of tradition and into the living, spiritual promised inner land of our Creator's presence and voice.

From the view we are given, settled into our having been seated in Christ in the heavenly places, this coming Friday is a historical opportunity to simplify all christian traditional complexity, entering the life of God's Kingdom by joining Christmas and Easter as one, each and every day.

This is what I refer to as The Perpetual Celebration of Easter upon the Land of Emmanuel!!!...

I find that this expression, combined to caring service, contain together all the baggage needed for the complete exodus of the Body of Christ from out of all the Egypts of the world that we may find ourselves in.

Speaking of service, here are some ideas that could be of use in the case of Egypt's Christians and of Africa at large:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A15694662

First and formost, let us focus on the invisible that we may partake in the release of eternal life and in our being assembled into God's Kingdom on earth, practicing the discipline of denying ourselves, picking up the cross daily, and responding to our Lord in offering our bodies into the LIVING sacrifice...from Egypt on...as in 2000 years ago on our calendar, but 2 days ago on God's calendar...

Dear Father, if this is Your will, I pray for such release of Your presence and voice within each and amongst all Your people on earth. How can we use the communication tools you've given us to see such prayer through by Friday.
If not this coming Friday, keep our eyes open to any other date that You might wish to so bless...Amen to Your Yes in us all...in Christ-Jesus I pray...

 

Egypt's current spiritual opportunity
