ALL are ACCEPTED ~ in the BE-LOVED!

Spiritual Leader:  Rev. Paul Cole

Message of Inclusion 

ALL are created in the Image of God.  Man-made religion tends to try and mold you into (who) and (what) you are not! 

ALL are Accepted in the BEloved; no one is rejected!

Collectively, ALL of  US make up the Body of Christ!

Who told you that you were naked, without, lost, and in need?  Don't "fall" for the lie!

Discover, Uncover, even Recover your true Identity!

The Spirit (that you are) already knows ~ but you have been told other-wise.

You came into this journey on Earth only knowing Love ~ but, you have been introduced to fear.

Re-turn to Love.  When you awaken to Love, you will truly BE your Authentic Self ~ This is Who You are created to BE!  

Then you will live a full-filled Life ~ a Whole Life!  You will know your Purpose ~ and fulfill it here on Earth.

Remember...You are a Spirit Being ~ living life on Earth ~ in a Body ~ and Possessing a Soul.

This is why we are Spiritual Beings having a Physical Experience ~ we are not Physical Beings having a Spiritual Experience.

Life is a Journey ~ and ~ We are enjoying the Journey!

*** LOVE IS THE ESSENCE OF WHO WE ARE ~ I AM ~ AND SO ARE YOU! ***

My Journey ~ Part 4 (cont.)

My Journey ~ Part 4 (cont.) 

Spiritual Leader ~ Rev. Paul Cole

   

Yours Truly, Young Rev. Paul Cole, Spiritual Leader

(more pics on previous blogs with Subject ~ My Journey)

I think about how I have grown in stature as a human being - from a child - to a man. Then I think about how I have progressed, and grown in my understanding of Life, God, and my Purpose here on Earth.  

I want you to know that I am now approaching (close) to 60 years of age.  I take my days here on Earth seriously.

Anytime that we teach anything that is considered against the grain of tradition ~ many (who have yet to "see") will say we are preaching heresy.  Jesus, our Ascended Master, was considered by some a heretic for what He taught ... and, he was put to death for his teaching.  Was He wrong?

So many who acclaim to "believe in Jesus" are themselves held in bondage by doctrines and teaching not consistent with/as Truth. (as most, if not all of us were)   

Jesus, (certainly and clearly) showed us the way, how we live our lives ~ in the here and now. May we also awaken to who we are, what we have within us, and what our purpose is on Earth.  The same Power (authority) that was/is in Jesus, is in us!  As He is, so are we ... and in this present world.

Jesus was:  as us > [AS]

It really takes an Awakening (beyond natural understanding ~ to what the Spirit already knows) / Enlightenment / Divine Revelation ~ to "See!"                     

My prayer is that our "eyes BE opened".  Oh, the joy of knowing and understanding more clearly!  

Man - made religion seeks > to get us to "God"  ~  Salvation frees us from such teaching; we rest in knowing that > Spirit is within us.  Christ in You, the hope of Glory!

Rev. Paul Cole, Spiritual Leader

Spirit is in us > < We are in Spirit ~ Inseparable. 

In Spirit, we live and move and have our BEing!  This is what we awaken to ~ not "some god" that is afar off ~ from us.  

To awaken to this Revelation ... is to know that this is the highest revelation known to (hu)-man!

My Journey ~ Part 3

My Journey ~ Part 3  (cont.) 

Spiritual Leader:  Rev. Paul Cole

There is an Awakening!

As I pondered the many questions previously mentioned, (along with hundreds more), it caused me to realize that much, (most of what I had been taught was not correct).  So, I began to read, study, listen, and then I had a revelation of Truth ~ not all at once, but little by little. 

I look back over my years of Ministry, and see how that I have grown up ~ how I have matured ~ and how I have "come back" to my "First Love" ~ the Love of All.  This has completely changed my tone from a judgmental message ~ to the message of Unconditional Love.  

As Jesus said, I did not come into the world to condemn the world.  Those who think they are condemned, are condemned already (in his/her mind).  As a man (hu - man) thinketh, so is he.

Our Purpose is to tell the Good News of who/what we are.  We are created in God's Image.  Not made in the image that is masked with man-made religion, which attempts to conceal the real YOU!   

(This) YOU is not the Ego!  This I AM ~ that I AM talking about is ~ Who You Really Are! Who You have always been!  

* Remember...Nothing has changed except your perception about yourself ~ and others, which is not true.  

It is my desire to see each one of us ~ ultimately All Humanity ~ to Awaken to Who they are in ("God") / Spirit.  And, I realize that each individual can only walk in the Light of understanding that they can SEE.  

The Spirit within us ~ already knows ~ Because, The Universal Mind knows all things.  

When we came into this world, we already knew the Love, Peace, Joy ~ that we are.  But, then we got introduced to fear.  Fear produced all the wrong things that were not like Spirit.  This is what causes one to think in terms of separation.  Right / Wrong, Us / Them, etc.  

But, we have the mind of Christ.  [The Christ].  Not a man ~ rather, ~ the Universal Principle / and Spirit within us.  Christ in you, the hope of Glory!  We are led by the Spirit ~ minding the things of Christ.

Jesus was the Christ ~ so are we.  As He is, so are we, and in this present world!  

There must be an Awakening to this Principle!  ~ To Who We Are (I AM) ~ and living this Principle on this Earth!  To live our Lives in the same way (the same Principle) that Jesus, our ascended Master did.

My Journey ~ Part 2

My Journey Part 2


Spiritual Leader:  Rev. Paul Cole

Did you know that many times, we just accept what is being taught, instead of doing our own study ~ research.

And, how many times do we have questions, but are afraid to ask? 

Well, I am one to ask!  Not afraid to question ~ after all, fear is what we need to overcome!  Perfect/complete Love cast out fear!    

Let us start out by asking relevant questions ~ I think you will agree that these questions are important ones.                                                                                                                              
Questions such as:

God:  What, or Who is God?

Who is Jesus?  Who is Christ?

Who is Holy Spirit?

Did Jesus really resurrect from the dead?

Why are we here?

Where are we going ~ if anywhere?

Will we resurrect from the dead?  And if so ~ will it be physical, or spiritual.

Is there a Rapture, Tribulation, Coming of Jesus with the saints, and a Kingdom to come ~ or, is the Kingdom here now?

Why would God "allow" anyone to go to a place called hell?

Is hell a literal place?  Is it the grave?  Is hell (also) a garbage dump that was outside Jerusalem?

Is hell a torturing, tormenting, agonizing, place of fire ~ where no one ever gets out?

Is heaven a place of walls of jasper, gates of pearl, street or streets of gold?

Wow, this is (already) a lot to ponder.  These are the type of questions that I have ask through out my journey on Earth.

Did you know, that the most challenging thing for some of us ... is to UN-learn what we have already been conditioned to believe.  

So many beliefs ~ so many religions ~ so many denominations > All saying that they are right.  What is Truth?  Is there one way?  Which way is it?  What is The Way?

Is "God" angry with the Human Race?  Is "He" going to pour out "His" wrath upon Mankind?

Or, is "God's" Loving Mercy which endures forever ~ given US all things (NOW) that pertain unto Life and Godliness?

Sometimes, we have to think ~ re-think ~ and willing to change our minds on a few things ~ even, a lot of things we have heard.  But, this is part of our learning, and growing ~ and part of our journey on earth.  After all, we don't want to hold to some idea that isn't correct ~ do we?

Stay tuned for more to come!  (Part 1 - Archive Section)

My Journey ~ Part 1

MY JOURNEY HERE ON EARTH

 Part 1 

REV. PAUL COLE ~ SPIRITUAL LEADER

As a child:

As a man:

I was born into a very religious home.  We were of a certain denomination in the Christian Religion.  (thanks for not asking which)  

We were of the strictest order.  We did not believe in going to movies, ballgames, or the like.  My mother and sisters wore dresses for many years (no pants) ~ and did not even dare cut their hair ~ nor wear make-up.

We were taught that you had to be baptized in water, and speak in tongues to be saved. No exceptions!  I learned never to question.  (this would later get me into trouble, lol).

And, if a person did not adhere to "this belief" ~ they were going to hell.  If fact, we were told that more people were going to hell ~ than going to heaven!!!  Only a few would be saved ~ a faithful few!

It seemed as though emphasis was on getting out of here ~ rather than living an abundant life while here.

I remember questioning things like:  hell ~ the torture and torment by an angry god??? Really?

I began to see that many just accept what is being taught; they never seem to question nor study for themselves.    

But, I appreciate my past.  Actually, I am thankful.  This experience taught me much, and led me to where I am today.  I am still evolving.  I will continue to grow in my understanding.  

"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things."  (excerpt from I Corinthians 13:11 kjv)

We grow in wisdom and understanding.  Every day I learn something I did not know.  

We are Spiritual Beings ~ Living in a Physical Body ~ Possessing a Soul ~ and Having an Earthly Experience!  We are not Physical Beings trying to have a Spiritual Experience!

When we get this understanding > All will make sense!

For Me:  It truly has been ~ An Awakening ~ A Resurrection ~ An Ascension into Higher Consciousness ~ An Awareness ~ that ALL of US are of Divine Intelligence ~ One Universal Sea of Love!

Ralph Waldo Emerson said it right:  "the highest revelation is that God is in every man."

"God" Spirit is in ALL of US!  We Are!  I AM!

And thus, this revelation ~ this awakening ~ changed my life for the better! It also changed my perception of others ~ and caused me to love others ~ as I love myself.

Continued (next post)

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

We Would Love To Hear From You!

The Awakening!

Spiritual Leader ~ Rev. Paul Cole 

THERE IS AN AWAKENING!

The Awakening is realizing who You Are.  You are created in the Image of God.  Many spend their lives trying to become who/what they already are.  You are ~ I AM!  As "He" is, so are you ~ and in this present world!



WHERE IS CHRIST?

Christ in you ~ the Hope of Glory!  In Spirit and In Principle

In God, we live and move and have our BEing

Omnipresent God, Ultimate Spirit, Higher Consciousness, Infinite Intelligence is within all of us!


ONE BODY OF CHRIST 

We are not apart from "God" ~ Spirit.  To see yourself apart from God ~ is why you see separation from one another.  Humanity is not separate from one another.  Separation is an illusion.  We are one of another!  All of us!  There is One Body of Christ, and all make up The Body!

Everyone Is Important ... All Are Inclusive...

EVERYONE IS IMPORTANT! 

ALL ARE INCLUSIVE IN THE LOVE OF GOD!  

Spiritual Leader ~ Rev. Paul Cole

Everyone is important!  No one is less than another; no one is greater than another.  Although each of us are diverse in many ways ~ ALL are created in the Image of God!  There is only ONE ~ and ALL make up that ONE!  ~Rev. Paul Cole

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!  ~Rev. Paul Cole

Unconditional Love ~ never discriminates ~ never fails anyone, anytime, for any reason!  ~Rev. Paul Cole

Remember:  There is no fear in Love ~ dread does not exist; but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment; is tormenting.  Perfect Love casts such thoughts out.  For we (ought to) have the mind of Christ.  ~Rev. Paul Cole

Unconditional Love is Who We Are ~ Love never ~ ever fails!  Love transcends all ~ religions, theological opinions, and beliefs.  All have been accepted in the BE-Loved.  Not one (is) rejected, nor left out. > Love is not a mere message we preach or talk about ~ Love is Who We Are!  ~Rev. Paul Cole

My Awakening!  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 we all are of Divine Intelligence ~ one Universal Sea of Love.  ~Love, Rev. Paul Cole

Resurrection ~ A Present Reality!

Resurrection ~ A Present Reality

Rev. Paul Cole ~ Spiritual Leader

"He Is Not Here:  For He Has Risen"  

At The Garden Tomb ~ Jerusalem, Israel

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.  We ~ 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.

Jesus (our Ascended Master) came as us and showed us ~ (manifested to us) ~ the way.  He said:

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 (Divinity) is in Jesus (the human ~ the man) ~ Christ is in you:  Christ IN YOU the hope of Glory!

On Earth, it is necessary for us ~ as humanity ~ to have an earthly name.  The same was true for Jesus.  We are Spiritual Beings, living in Physical Bodies, having an Earthly Experience.  Our real Identity is Spiritual; not Physical!     

Know Your Identity:  I AM is the way!  Our identity is In Christ (in "God")

No longer are we living an illusion of separation from our Divinity!  We know 

Who and What we are!  

  

  We are created in the Image of "God"! 

With Jesus, we know our Divinity!  The Human part of us is but for a season.  The "Real You" lives forever ~ Is Eternal! 

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

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

The "tomb" cannot hold you!

And all that "you are searching for"  ~ "feeling lost"  ~ is because of the wrong teaching that identified you with trying to become ~ who and what ~ you are not 

~ and was never meant to be.  

Spirit knows ~ but now ~ because of what you have been told, it is necessary for you to resurrect from this that holds you, and hinders you.  You need awakened, so that you may understand who you truly are ~ Then your journey on Earth will have purpose.        

It truly is 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!

Unconditional Love

Spiritual Leader ~ Rev. Paul Cole

One Word says it all!  LOVE!  Unconditional Love!  This will change your life ~ and your perception of others! 

Love transcends all doctrines, books, and theological opinions. Love embraces all men; excludes no one.  

When I say Unconditional Love ~ I understand fully what I am saying ~ without any restrictions ~ without any conditions ~ without any exclusion ~ regardless of race/ethnicity, gender, religious, political, or social standing.

We do not hold to the idea that we must accept a "belief" to be included in Love.  If Love is unconditional, there are no conditions to be met.

Love transcends all things; knows no boundaries.

Unconditional Love expects nothing in return ~ and has no fear.

All of us were born knowing this Love!  Then we got introduced to fear.  Perfect (complete) Love casts out Fear!
  
Awaken to Love!  Love heals all things!

My Friend ~ We Are Love Incarnate ~ Divine Love!
