Dream 285

I am standing upon the first stone on the land beneath Michael’s calf having a completely meaningless conversation with the spirit of might who takes laughing as much as possible very seriously.
AT this moment we are debating which facial expression is the most serious when teaching wisdom but neither of us can stop smiling for long enough to maintain a serious face.
The spirit of might works hard to emulate Counsel’s serious little face and she grins at him telling him that he is very good at being seriously silly.
While we are bantering about the not-so-deep-and-spiritual spirituality of a ‘wise face’, a figure comes walking to us in a heavy black gown.
He walks towards us with such purpose that I stop laughing and watch him intently. As he draws closer, I see that he is a judge.
Wisdom:
“The spirit of knowledge comes to help you understand his role Abdiel. Today is a special day indeed. For without knowledge you are destroyed but a man who is diligent in his studies is a river of abundance.”
Knowledge now stands before us quietly. He absently taps a gavel against his leg as his calming presence takes root in everything around him. The dry winter grass where he stands begins to turn green and I feel something take root within my heart that causes old wounds to heal.
When he speaks, his voice is deep and soothing. It is so pleasant to hear him speak that I have physical sensations of warmth in my chest even while recording his words.
Knowledge:
“Peace upon you Abdiel. Peace upon you.
I, the spirit of knowledge, deliver the verdicts of heaven. And mammon, whom you have met and call Lucifuge, delivers the verdicts of hell.
All knowledge is but a verdict of truth according to the source of that truth. The truth of heaven is different to the truth of hell. For all truth is subjective. No truth is absolute.
Truth is only truth according to the prevailing paradigm of its originating kingdom.
The truth of hell is accusation and their verdicts are never wrong for they point out what is true and prosecute it. But the truth of heaven is grace and mercy.
Two men may hold opposing views on a thing yet both may speak the truth according to the knowledge that they possess at the time. Though one may be wrong, he is not lying, for the verdict that he delivers is according to the laws of the kingdom in his mind. Usually both are wrong, but this does not make them liars.
Knowledge is a judgement. The expression of knowledge is a verdict.
Every time you open your mouth or write a sentence, you are delivering a verdict.
To tell your wife that you love her is a verdict and you to speak of the day that you have had is a verdict. It is the delivery of these verdicts that shapes the life that you live for all truth has a right to bear fruit.
And this is why it is important to choose which kingdom you desire to represent in the delivery of your verdicts. For spirit and truth must not be separated lest your version of truth may become the truth of the flesh.
The truth of the spirit will always be grounded in unconditional love. And deep mysteries will be revealed to create powerful verdicts.
But the truth of the flesh will always be selfish and every verdict will be a teaching that favours and justifies selfishness.
I hope you are learning as I speak Abdiel. Most do not.
Every word is a verdict. Everything written is a verdict.
Even asking a question is a verdict.
‘How big is the Sun?’
This question’s verdict is that there is a Sun. It acknowledges a truth.
‘Why is my life so difficult?’
This question delivers a verdict that your life is difficult and no answer will change that verdict until the question itself is rephrased.
‘How to I improve my life?’
This is a much better question because the verdict is a desire to live a better life.
If you understand that the purpose of knowledge is to evolve your judgements and verdicts to the perfection of heaven, you will watch every word carefully, knowing that the verdicts you deliver consistently produce the inevitable truth that controls your life.
You must be very careful to seek your truth from heaven and from the heavenly minded. A wise man according to earth speaks the truth of the god of this world. His wisdom is undeniable, his information powerful.
But still even his greatest offerings of wisdom are completely foolish compared to the eternal wisdom of heaven.
For the wisdom of heaven considers eternal consequences to every word and every action but the wisdom of this world seeks only to prosper you in this life, most times at the cost of your soul.
All knowledge is a verdict of kingdom law. In one kingdom, the law is different to the next.
You may have the same knowledge in the kingdom of mammon as in the kingdom of heaven. But the context of the kingdom of mammon would cause that same knowledge to have a completely different meaning. Thus the verdict is completely different and the truth, though still true, a conflicting verdict based on the same knowledge.
The son of God is the way, the truth and the life.
For His truth is the truth of heaven. It is a verdict from the throne room of God.
And without His knowledge there is only pain and destruction.
Abdiel, the knowledge of the kingdom of darkness is a verdict of selfishness. You cannot argue that they are wrong because, according to their kingdom, they are righteous.
This is why you cannot pass judgement upon them. And this is why not all who you expect to see in heaven will be there. Because eternal judgment is not about who is right or who is wrong. It is about which truth of which kingdom you submitted to.
The truth of the kingdom of heaven is written upon every heart and this truth is a selfless love that seeks to bless mankind. Already as children you begin to choose which versions of truth best suit you. And though they know the truth of this world to be contrary to heaven, many pursue the lusts of the flesh and as children violate the spiritual laws of their own conscience.
It is only the grace of Jesus Christ that restores the truth of heaven to those who are willing to believe. And it is only the knowledge of heaven that can renew the carnal mind.
For the knowledge of heaven is the verdicts of heaven and you must walk with the verdicts of heaven upon your lips constantly so that you may be a light in the darkness.
There are many believers who confess that Jesus is Lord but do not trust His version of truth. Thus their expression of His lordship is a truth according to the kingdom of darkness. For if you do not do as He commands, you do not love Him.
But those who confess Him as lord and do as He commands have accepted His version of truth as their version of truth. And every word that proceeds from His mouth is a verdict of the knowedge of heaven.
The wisdom of this world is like honey upon the ear of the fool. For every verdict that is delivered builds itself up against the knowledge of God. These worldly truths are the strongholds that must be torn down so that the name of Jesus may be lifted up and His knowledge would become the only verdict that matters.
But such things are offensive and foolish to those who walk in the truth of Satan. Believers who profess to believe but hate the verdicts of Jesus are thus not believers and are still perishing.
For the gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing.
The Gospel is the ultimate verdict of love. And he who believes will not perish but have everlasting life.
The knowledge of the Gospel is absolute truth to all who believe.
You cannot say that you believe in the Gospel if you do not believe in the verdicts of the Gospel.
For the truth of heaven leads to heaven and the truth of hell leads to hell.
Choose then which kingdom is your kingdom. Choose which truth is your truth. Choose well so that the knowledge of that kingdom may flow into your life. And for those who choose heaven, the floodgates of heaven will open so that the verdicts of heaven may flow from your lips like a river.
And these heavenly verdicts will lead to an abundance of joy, peace, health and prosperity.
Indeed, the verdicts of heaven upon your lips are the keys of the kingdom of heaven just as the verdicts of hell are the keys to the kingdom of darkness.
Know then that all knowledge is not equal.
Choose the river from which you drink wisely Abdiel.
Seek first the kingdom of God, for His kingdom is the river of abundance!”
I wake up.
