Flesh and Blood - Not

Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are you, SimonBar-Jonah. For flesh and blood [men] have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who

is in heaven. Matthew 16:17

But I tell you this, brethren, flesh and blood cannot [become partakers of eternal salvationand] inherit or share in the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable (that which is

decaying) inherit or share in the imperishable (the immortal). 1 Corinthians 15:50

For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they

are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, 2 Corinthians

10:4

To reveal (unveil, disclose) His Son within me so that I might proclaim Him among the

Gentiles (the non-Jewish world) as the glad tidings (Gospel), immediately I did not

confer with flesh and blood [did not consult or counsel with any frail human being orcommunicate with anyone]. Galatians 1:16

For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents],

but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] theworld rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the

heavenly (supernatural) sphere. Ephesians 6:12

Flesh and Blood is a metaphor for our life and existence within the confines andbounds of natural, physical creation. It denotes all the properties and qualities that are

derived in association with this realm of being, including the capacities of the natural

mind: intellect, emotions and will. It does not refer to or suggest relation and connectionto Spiritual dynamics and resources of insight transcending material dimension. Our

being, as realized, of, in and through our flesh and blood quarters is devoid of any and

all reference, knowledge and intuition regarding a higher spiritual reality orconsciousness.

Any ability to transcend or perceive beyond our flesh and blood experience is a gift ofGod. It is an infusion of unfamiliar light and life into the dark regions of netherworlds

groping for purpose and meaning.

Creation is the parchment upon which God writes. History is mans clumsy interaction

with what is written. Creation is the habitation of flesh and blood. Onto this surface the Logos was written. Into this spatial existencethe Word, speaks. And among us

Christ abode. And as a stranger, a sojourner, a foreigner longing for a home near

forgottenyet abides, speaks and writes his love and life in and through us.

The Divine partook of the inferior nature, and the Word became flesh. Not to remain as

an indefinite finite manifestation, but to lead, to free, a material epiphany invading the

lower regions of corporal existence and so to lead captivity captive as it were, into a

realization of life and liberty, [He led a train ofvanquished foes] and He bestowed gifts

on men.Eph 4:8.

Hell needs to be rethought. Thedespotisms, against the powers, against [the

master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit

forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere all need to bereconsidered.

Our spiritual contention is not out there someplace in Never-Never Land. It is notsome ethereal dimension that we enter into of some absolute other worldly nature. It is

not that pretend intermediary cosmic no-mans land that manifests Archangels

brandishing swords, seated on magnificent steeds, garbed in white robes bearing the signof the cross, lopping offthe heads of Middle-Earthen orks, rallying the hosts of heaven,

and so rescue us poor forgotten oppressed humanity.

Its not happening out there Out there does not exist.

It is ALL happening right here, right now. And despotisms powersmaster spirits,

ARE world rulers of THIS PRESENT DARKNESS.

NowPAY ATTENTIONI am not saying that George W. Bush (currently Barak

Obama), Kim jong il, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Stalin or Hitler or any of the other current

or former world leaders IS the manifestationofspirit forces. They are human beingssubject to the same faults and error as you, me, and the rest of creation. As the subjects of

creation they arethey are confronted with and realize cognitive rationale that sets the

course of what transpires in the world they are placed. By choice, by providence, by luckof the draw (if you can consider that), by manipulation and deceit, by force of arms, by

threat and intimidation, men become forces of rule and power in the world of creation. It

is in this present darkness that spiritual forces of wickedness manifest. Heavenly

spheres are not some spiritualized pie in the sky La-La Land. Heaven, the Kingdom ofHeaven is now. It is not a part of creation. It ISnone the less. Access too, in and out of,

IS an accomplished fact. He that ascendeddescendedand back again. It is our

heritage as we know Him, abide in Him, manifest Himare Him.

In the minds of menthe battle transpires. Most assume this to be for the dominion and

rule of this created world, and to an extent that is true. But the reality is, it is for thehearts, or the extinguishing of the life in men that would realize their oneness and

attachment with their Father. We are enamored with cares and worries so far removed

from us, yet so aggressively imposed upon us that to focus our attention toward ultimate

value and reality becomes a pipe dream, and confusion of realities wisps of smoke soonforgotten illusions.

But Godnot flesh and blood.
