Love Is Who We Are!

LOVE IS WHO WE ARE!

Rev. Paul Cole ~ Spiritual Leader

I have come to understand Love much deeper in my journey here on earth.  It truly has been an awakening ~ a resurrection ~ an ascension into Higher Consciousness ~ an awareness ~ that all of us are one of another ~ that we all are of Divine Intelligence ~ one Universal Sea of Love.  

Love is the Essence of God ~ Love is who We Are!  I AM!

When you came into the world, you only knew Love ~ then you learned fear ~ and thus all the consequences.  Awaken to Love ~ this is ~ Who You ~ really are.  

Love has no fear (to be afraid).  Perfect (complete) Love casts out fear!  Live in Love and Peace ~ not fear and torment!

The Love of God ~ the Love that we are ~ is Unconditional; never discriminates against anyone ~ Love that never fails anyone, anytime, for any reason!

We have been given the ministry of Reconciliation.  The old way of judgment and condemnation ~ of any discrimination ~ based on race, gender, religion, social, or political ... is not who we are.  We are all One ~ and as we awaken to this, it will be reflected through our life, and in our words.  There is One Body ~ One Spirit ~ which we are!  Love is Inclusive; not exclusive.  Love is Who We Are!

Even if we are yet to see eye to eye, we can walk hand in hand and grow together in this journey of life!

Higher Consciousness ~ Ascend Into Higher Consciousness

Ministry Of The Christ

Rev. Paul Cole, Spiritual Leader

HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS

Ascend Into Higher Consciousness

We hear much about "being lost."  Religion (for the most part) has told us that we are lost if we don't adhere to certain "beliefs" or "doctrine," ~ of which there are many.

Really, a person is only "lost" in their own mind, ~ their own awareness ~ of who they are ~ known as "the fall."  In reality, In Spirit, we know who we are.

There is no confusion nor conflict in God.  Because of wrong teaching, we must be "re-minded."  We must "re-member" that there is no separation in God!  Been partaking from the wrong tree?

Let "this mind" BE IN YOU, which was also in Christ Jesus!  Ascend into Christ Consciousness!

Set your affection on things above!  In other words:  Think on things "above" ~ (wherein all things are correct and perfect - complete).

The "belief" that you are nothing ~ you are a sinner ~ you are unworthy ~ you are not good enough ~ is simply not true ~ and hinders anyone who accepts it.

The Truth is:  God said ... and it was (is) so!  You are created in the Image of God.  Your identity is In God, Of God / God.  Anything "less" is not true; is an illusion.

God includes ALL of US ~ no exclusion!

Who told you any different?  God or Religion?

Think on these things, and awaken to Truth!

(I reiterate) ~ In Spirit:  You know Who and What You Are!

As God is, so are You!

Note:  We are Spiritual Beings ~ Living in Physical Bodies ~ having an Earthly Experience.  We are always Spirit!  And when your Earth-Life is finished, you are still Spirit.

Would Love To Hear From You!

A Few Things We Need To Know!

Rev. Paul Cole, Spiritual Leader

The Ministry Of The Christ!  

A FEW THINGS WE NEED TO KNOW

Many see themselves apart from God.  The Truth is:  Christ is within us ~ In God we live and move and have our being.  All of us!  

It is ridiculous to say that God is not in everyone ~ if in fact ~ God is omnipresent!  God is everywhere!

God is Spirit and God/Spirit is in us.  All exist because of God.  All of Us are created in the Image of God!

We are all one of another!  We are not separate!  WE are ONE!  Therefore, there is no "them" and "us." 

God transcends all religions and denominations.  Hence, we are more Spiritual than Religious!    

We do not wait until some day to escape to a place where we will have a better life.  We have [already] been given all things that pertain to life and godliness.

We can create our own heaven or hell here in this physical earth-life.  You create your own reality!  As a man thinketh, so is he.

When you arise into Higher Consciousness, you will see things differently.

We should not have a sin consciousness ~ We are to have a Christ Consciousness.

We do recognize that all have not yet awaken to a Christ Consciousness ~ therefore, they see the consequences they have created.

We recognize that when we resurrect into Higher Consciousness, we will recognize our Divinity ~ Our Christ-ness ~ and Christ in others.  We are not mere human ~ we are Divine!  As God is, so are we!  We are made in God's Image!

Jesus, our ascended Master, was/is our perfect example.  He showed us exactly Who and What we should be ~ and How we should live our lives.  He showed us what it means to BE ~ I AM.

Jesus - was the person ... The Christ - (as) Principle.  

We are Spiritual Beings ~ living on Earth in Physical Bodies ~ and possessing a Soul. Our true Being is Spirit.   

Life is a journey of which we are all traveling.  It is a joy to help one another to awaken to more understanding ~ sometimes requiring re-learning and re-new-ing our mind. Ultimately, all will "resurrect" and "ascend" to understand Who they Are in the Christ, and their Purpose.

We are all One Universal Mind ~ One Spirit ~ In Divine Connection.

This truly is ~ Who We Are!

Blessings,

We Would Love To Hear From You!

JESUS ~ CHRIST?

JESUS ~ CHRIST?

Many say we should preach "Jesus"  ...  Right  ...  but, are we preaching "what" Jesus preached?  Did we even hear "what" He said?

We don't just preach Jesus "the man" of History ~ The Son of Man ~ Jesus of Nazareth.

And, just because the name "Jesus" is mentioned doesn't necessarily equate to preaching the Christ.

First of all, actually there are many named Jesus.  And secondly, we must understand that Christ is not His (Jesus) name ~ Christ is WHO He was/is.

Do we understand the Mystery ~ Now Revealed to us ~ Christ IN US the Hope of Glory!

Jesus came "as us" ~ to reveal "to us" ~ the Christ "in us!"  No longer a mystery.

We are not Jesus.  We understand > The Christ is within us.

And, Christ is in all of us ~ (not some of us) ~ as Spirit/God ~ and in Principle.  As Jesus is ~ so are we! Collectively, we are the Body of Christ ~ members one of another.  

When we understand the Christ within, we will no longer "think" that we must ask "him" to come in ~ as though "he" is a far off ~ apart from us.  God is omnipresent.

This is why we do not ask God to do what "He" has already done.

Why stand you gazing up into the heavens?

God is already within you!  God has already forgiven you!

And, God IS Saviour of all men!

You cannot get more of God than is already within you!  You can get more understanding ... and this is what is needed!

Awaken to the The Christ within!

You Are Anointed; Divinity is within You!

[ONE GOD ~ FATHER OF ALL ~ OVER ALL ~ IN ALL ~ THROUGH ALL]

BEING YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF!

BEING YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF!

You are unique!  There is only one of you!

Never be ashamed of who you are.  And, forget about trying to be ~ what and who you are not.

Do not live in judgment for being YOU!  When you live your life without becoming influenced by the judgments of men, you will fulfill the purpose for which YOU are called; and a lot happier for it.

When religious ideas try to reshape you ~ remake you into ~ what you are not ~ you are living in hell.  Religious masking ~ attempting to appear to the world one way ~ when deep inside ~ you know ~ this isn't me.  What a miserable life to live!  Wasted days ~ wasted years trying to live your life to only please others, and measure up to their expectations.

The Truth makes you free ~ Walk in the Truth of Who You Are!

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

You are not in competition ~ you are not to be compared to another.

You are You!  With all your strengths, your gifts, your talents, your laughter...

You are love to others, when you love yourself!

There is a difference in changing for growth, for new possibilities ... and trying to change for others.

Remember ... only You can BE You!  And the World needs You!  Your Authentic Self! 

Who You are created to BE!

BE ... YOU!

LIVING LIFE AS YOU ~ YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF!

RESURRECTING INTO CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS!

I have come to understand Love much deeper in my journey here on earth.  It truly has been an awakening ~ a resurrection ~ an ascension into higher consciousness ~ an awareness ~ that all of us are one of another ~ that we all are of Divine Intelligence ~ one Universal Sea of Love.  ~Love, Paul Cole

All of us are one Body of Christ; members in particular.   

We are not fragmented from one another.  Collectively, we make the Whole ~ no one left out!

We are not apart from God.  In God we live and move and having our BEing!

We have the mind of Christ; wherein we are one Universal Mind.

Christ is in all of us ~ and will always BE.

May we awaken to this understanding.

GRACE

GRACE

GOD REACHING ALL CHILDREN EVERYWHERE!

Yes, everyone of us ~ ALL ~ are in God's Plan!

God loses no one ~ not one! 

IN ADAM:  ALL were included!  IN CHRIST:  ALL are included!

I Timothy 4:4a, "For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused..."

Genesis 1:31, "And God say every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good."

Don't believe the lie!  The illusion (or delusion)!

If God made it good ~ "the end" will be the same as "the beginning."

And, God loves all the world ~ every one of "His" Creation!

God's Grace is sufficient!  And, Salvation is of God!

"We trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of ALL MEN, specially of those that believe."  I Timothy 4:10 KJV

It is written: " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.' "  Romans 14:11 NIV

It is so!  God said so! 

Our response does not make it so!  I respond to what is already so!

It is not by our works ~ it is The Finished Work (plus nothing).

You do not work to obtain ~ we work because we have obtained!  

To God BE the Glory!

WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

Genesis 3:11, (and God said to Adam) "Who told thee that thou wast naked?  Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? (kjv) 

Adam ~ who told you that you were naked???  Certainly NOT GOD!  God never said it!

Eating from the wrong tree!  The tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil ~

In your perception, you are separated from God (known as the "fall").

This sense of separation is the lack you need to correct!  You distorted your perception of Truth!  Now, you have seen yourself lacking and away from God.

You have hidden yourself, and clothed yourself with fear.  Oh, the shame, the blame, and dis-grace.

You have "lost" your identity!  This is where you are lost!

God made you in "His" Image ~ and now you have forgotten?

So, it is necessary to remind you ~ Who you really are!

Jesus ~ came and showed us how we are to identify ourselves.  The Power of  "I Am" !!!

Jesus said:  I Am come ... I Am the bread of life ... I Am the Way the Truth the Life.

The same Power that was/is in Jesus > is in us!

We are called by the SAME NAME ... SAME AUTHORITY!

We have to stop eating from the wrong tree!

We are partakers of the TREE OF LIFE!  God, Who is our Life!

Resurrect in the Christ ... Ascend in your understanding ... I Am not separated from God...

In God, I live, and move, and have my being!

I AM (the "name" of God ~ as said to Moses) ... As God is, so are we ~ and in this present world!

Never again do you have to question who you are!

We are in Christ!  All of Us!

[FOR AS] IN ADAM [ALL DIE] ~ [EVEN SO] ~ IN CHRIST [SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE]!

Jesus is and was our example!  He showed us the way!  I AM the way!
 He always pointed to Divinity ~ GOD!

We declare unto you the Message of The Christ!

1)  We are created in the image of God.  2)  Christ is in us.  3)  Jesus came AS US to show us the way ~ the way is identifying with who we are ~ I AM.

We identify with our Divinity; not our mere humanity.  We are Spiritual Beings living in Physical Bodies having an Earthly Experience!

As God is, so are we ~ and here on this Earth!

Resurrect ~ Ascend in this understanding!

RESURRECTION

RESURRECTION

REV. PAUL COLE

"I AM the Resurrection and the Life."

"He is not here:  for he has risen." 

Resurrection is a present reality (not a mere event).  Resurrection power is within all of us!

We resurrect from the old thoughts that hindered us.  Arise, and walk in newness of life (new way of thinking).  We are dead to the old - sin consciousness.  We have risen to the new - Christ Consciousness.  

We are created in the Image of God!

Jesus came to show - manifest to us the way.  I AM the Resurrection and the Life.  I AM the way.  Here is the way:  walk in it!

Jesus always pointed us to the Divine ~ The Christ!  (As)  Christ is in Jesus ~ Christ in you the hope of Glory!

So it is, that we declare unto you that the Power of God to revive you ~ is within you!

Discover ~ Uncover ~ (even recover) Who YOU ARE!

The tomb cannot hold you!

Knowing Your Identity!

REV. PAUL COLE

I AM!

In Exodus Chapter 3 verse 11:  And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

Verse 12:  And he (God) said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee:  When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.

Verse 13:  And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name?  what shall I say unto them?

Verse 14:  And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM:  and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

Verse 15:  And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you:  this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

What did God say?  >  I AM THAT I AM ... I AM hath sent me unto you!

AM I?  Any teaching that has you questioning your Identity > is not what God said!

Notice that Jesus during His ministry said multiple times ... I AM!

Jesus knew His Identity!  He knew WHO He was / is!

"Whom do men say that I the Son of man AM?"  (Son of man) - Matthew 16:13

"But, whom say ye that I AM?" - Matthew 16:15

"And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God!  (Son of God)

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:  for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven."  Matthew 16:16 & 17

Son of Man - Flesh - Hu-man-ity  /  Son of God - Spirit - Divinity

Jesus pointed us to God - DIVINITY - always!

Jesus was / is our example!  AS HE IS, SO ARE WE > in this present world!

Many only speak of Jesus in the human form > in His Humanity > but...  "Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh:  yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more."  II Corinthians 5:16

"Therefore if any man be IN CHRIST, he is a new creature:  old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."  II Corinthians 5:17.  Read the next verses!  "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation."  II Corinthians 5:18 & 19.

Note:  God hath reconciled us!

Lost in your understanding?  Thinking you are apart from God - rather than in God?  Who told you that?

Divinity is in all of us!

I AM!  Go in the I AM; not am I!  You will never help anyone with making them question:  AM I?

Let us resurrect into the understanding of WHO WE ARE!  I AM!

God said so!  And IT IS SO!

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS! PART 7

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS!

WHAT "YOUR" BIBLE SAYS!

Part 7

We have looked at the following Scriptures:  I Corinthians 15:22, Romans 5:18, Romans 5:19, Romans 5:15, Romans 5:10.

There is no denying nor debate.  The Scripture is so plain, that I would think anyone could understand.

The POWER of CHRIST triumphs over anything that happened in Adam!

If in Adam all die ~ most assuredly IN CHRIST [ALL] are made alive!

If by one man, the whole human race was affected, how much more > MUCH MORE > by ONE MAN > salvation has come to ALL HUMANITY!

If ALL were affected by ADAM ... (most agree on this one)

Then ALL were affected by CHRIST!  If Christ lost one person, then the power of Adam would be greater!

If one person and his disobedience caused such a problem ...

Surely God could reconcile ... and He did!

Religion will tell us differently.  You must do something!  What?  Did we (presently) bring sin into the world? No!  Why are we responsible?  God has forgiven man.  Christ reversed the curse!

Many forget that the New Covenant is unilateral ~ does not require one thing on your part.

You cannot earn Salvation!  Salvation is of God.  Works are good, but works will not save you!  You work because you are saved.

God has given us [ALL] ... the gift of ETERNAL LIFE!

This is the Good News of the Gospel.  The Law never brought it, but pointed us to Christ > who did. And, Christ was successful!

It is done ~ It is finished!

Now, may all see it together:  The Salvation of our God!

"For if, WHEN WE WERE enemies, WE WERE RECONCILED to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, WE SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE."  Romans 5:10 KJV.

FOR IF (a conditional clause)

WHEN WE [WERE] (past tense) - enemies

WE [WERE] (past tense) RECONCILED

To God by the death of his Son

MUCH MORE ~ (certain)

Being Reconciled (already)

WE SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE (His Life) ~ Because of His Life.

"Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus > before the world began."  2 Timothy 1:9 KJV

"[For if] through the offense of ONE [MANY] be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by ONE MAN, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto [MANY]."  Romans 5:15

[For if] ... these two words in the sentence are important!

A conditional clause...

FOR IF it is true what happened through the offense of one many be dead ... it is equally true ... much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

And then the two words in the middle of the sentence:  MUCH MORE ...

If it is true that the offense was of ONE ~ and many be dead

Then, MUCH MORE the grace of God, and the gift by grace came by ONE MAN, Jesus Christ

MUCH MORE ~ More Powerfully So!  (elaborate later)

Notice:  It is a GIFT by GRACE

And hath abounded unto [MANY]

The same [MANY] in the first part of the verse ~ sentence is the same [MANY] in the last part of the verse.

"Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon [ALL MEN] to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon [ALL MEN] to justification of life."  Romans 5:18 KJV

THEREFORE (for that reason, consequently, hence)

AS (to the same degree)

By the offence of one > judgment came upon > ALL MEN > to condemnation

EVEN SO (as it is so) > in the first part of the verse, (it is so) > in the last part

By the righteousness of one > the free gift > came upon > ALL MEN > to justification of life.

By the offence of one

By the righteousness of one

Judgment came upon all men

The free gift came upon all men

To condemnation

To justification of life

All Men

All Men

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS! PART 2

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS!

WHAT "YOUR" BIBLE SAYS!

PART 2

Previously in Part 1, we shared the following Scriptures from the Kings James Version of the Bible:

I Corinthians 15:22 ~ Romans 5:18 ~ Romans 5:19 ~ Romans 5:15 ~ Romans 5:10.

Let's look at each one of these verses...let's pay close attention to the wording!

"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."  ~I Corinthians 15:22.

The first two words are vitally important:  FOR AS! ...[For as] it is in the first part of the verse ... it is equally as true in the last part of the verse.

Let's look a the middle of the verse:  EVEN SO!

Even So ... as it is so in the first part of the verse ~ sentence ~ it is equally so in the last part of the verse ~ sentence!

This is important to the meaning of the entire sentence!

FOR AS it is in the first part of the sentence > EVEN SO (it is equally so) in the last part of the verse ~ sentence! 

FOR AS in Adam all die, EVEN SO in Christ shall all be made alive.

Now let's look at the next important wording:

For as IN ADAM all die, even so IN CHRIST shall all be made alive.

The first part of the verse say IN ADAM ~ the last part says IN CHRIST.

FOR AS > IN ADAM

EVEN SO > IN CHRIST

Now the next part:

In Adam > ALL DIE

[even so]

In Christ > SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE

So it is true!

The first part of the verse says, For as IN ADAM [ALL] DIE

Even so:

IN CHRIST SHALL [ALL] BE MADE ALIVE

The [ALL] in the first part of the verse means ALL!

Likewise, the same [ALL] is applied to the last part of the verse!

ALL ~ SAME ALL ~ What does ALL mean?  ALL means ALL!

Everyone ~ ALL of us!

IN ADAM [ALL] ~ IN CHRIST [ALL]

We will continue with looking at the Scriptures ~ what the Bible really says ~ without any doubt or debate. 

Scripture will interpret Scripture!

(My emphasis on Scripture)

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS! PART 1

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS!

WHAT "YOUR" BIBLE SAYS!

Part 1

Is what you heard really what the Scripture says?  For this article, I will use the King James Version, since many adhere to this translation ... but, do we really quote it as written; do we understand what we read?  

I will be writing more on this ... but for this week ... let's read, and ponder on the following verses of scripture:

"For as IN ADAM [ALL DIE], even so IN CHRIST shall [ALL BE MADE ALIVE]."  I Corinthians 15:22

"Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon [ALL MEN] to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon [ALL MEN] unto justification of life."  Romans 5:18

"[For as] by one man's disobedience [MANY] were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall [MANY] be made righteous."  Romans 5:19

Let me also insert this scripture:

"...For if through the offense of ONE [MANY] be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by ONE MAN, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto [MANY]."  Romans 5:15

And this one:

"For if, WHEN WE WERE enemies, WE WERE RECONCILED to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, WE SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE."  Romans 5:10

Read these scriptures over and over...let's pay attention to every word written!
