Rev. Celeste (CelesteFrazier.com) mentions “The Essene Jesus”. She refers to the Our Father prayer where it says: “For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever.”
Thine means thee. What makes up the kingdom – the higher forces, the spiritual world, the material world, the cosmic oceans of life and thought, is humankind, life, cosmos, Creator – all of It. We are part of that kingdom. Thine is the power. The power is ours. Jesus was referring to all of humankind. The Power of God exists in every single nucleus of every one of the trillions of cells that are within us.
Glory means delightful, wonderful. We are full of Glory! We are able to receive great praise. great honor. We have resplendent beauty, magnificence, and are in a state of great splendor!
We are brilliant and excellent. We prosper. We live in happiness. We are miracles, marvels, phenomena. We are awesome and gratified. We get to celebrate our glory! We are dimensions of the Cosmos, expressions of the Creator. The kingdom lives in us. The Power of the Father-Mother God is our Power – to use, to embody, to explore, to express, and to accept.
Perhaps the story of Adam and Eve that caused us to think of ourselves as simply physical beings. We live in and are paradise. They became aware of limitations. Once humans bought into limitations, the kingdom appeared to be outer. Powers are maintaining, and spiritual powers, natural forces, wisdom, love and life are in us.We were born amid the animal forces, but do not have to be attached to our anima aspect. We have a spiritual dimension too.
This whole idea of proprietary creates an illusion of separation. It creates mine and yours. It’s all ours! We don’t have to be confined mentally or emotionally or spiritually. We don’t need a group of politicians threatening us with what will be taken away. emotionally or spiritually. We don’t need a group of politicians threatening us with what will be taken away.
Do not assume defeat. Expect victory. It seems that’s what winners do. Assuming defeat comes after an accumulation of losses. You are a spiritual being. You are an expression of the Divine. You have within you the molecules of Majestic Magic. The Presence of Spirit lives, moves and has Its beingness in you.
Disappointments can compile and convince you into thinking that you can expect more of the same. But every moment of our lives is not defeat. Disappointment comes to give us an opportunity to grow, to be more – to learn tenacity, to overcome the difficulties – to gain new perspectives. There is always a possibility for more. Or else we would stop trying. And maybe you have stopped trying.
The former US president refused to concede – knowing that he didn’t want to categorize himself as he had categorized so many others – as losers. Sometimes we do lose. But it doesn’t mean that we will lose every time. That’s important to know. Just at the moment when we give up and assume that we will lose, we have put ourselves further behind. Doing your best – well, that’s why we were made. We were made in the image of our Creator. But the Creator hasn’t stopped creating. And we get to be co-creators!
Because our minds are one with the Mind of God, we never stop creating!
