Dream 293

I am under the tree of life where the spirit of counsel sits swinging her legs on a branch above me.
Her serious little face has a grin on it. Framed by that messy red hair, she looks like she might be up to something naughty and I can’t help but grin back.
Counsel:
“Hello Abdiel.”
Me:
“Haha. Hello Counsel.”
I stand there grinning at her like an idiot for a while before we speak.
Me:
“If my daughter is going to be anything like you, I have a feeling that I am going to spend a lot of time grinning.”
Counsel:
“Grinning is a wonderful thing Abdiel. It angers fools and is contagious to the free.
If your daughter is anything like me, you are going to have your hands full. I come to bring revelation of the eternal spirit. Such revelation can be superbly irritating to people who are subjugated by moments of despair or anger. The eternal spirit cannot be shaken by anything temporary.
This life on earth is a flash in the pan.
It feels long to you because painful moments have a way of drawing themselves out and fun has a way of making time fly.
And the god of this world works hard to drag out your time here so that he may convince you to hate God.
The born again spirit is an eternal spirit. It will never perish. You are an eternal being.
To those who are perishing, the directives and assignments of heaven through Jesus Christ is a lot of nonsense. But to those who are eternal, every instruction is concentrated power from heaven.”
She jumps down from the branch and lands lightly on her feet.
Counsel:
“Anxiety is a gift from hell to take your eyes off your eternal self and cause you to focus on the temporary self.
A man is not his body, he is his spirit. Just as God is spirit, you are spirit. This body is a biological machine. As you build cars that convert fuel into energy, we have built your body to convert food into energy.
But the eternal spirit is not sustained by food, it is sustained by love. And every word that proceeds from the mouth of Jesus is eternal food for the eternal spirit.
Anxiety is a chemical response to a spiritual perception. Your brain and stomach create chemicals in response to your spiritual perception. If you perceive something to be a threat, your body responds to it with protective measures to either make you run away or draw your sword and fight.
But those with the revelation of the eternal spirit do neither. You don’t fight and you don’t run away. The born again spirit responds to everything with the spirits of wisdom and might.
Wisdom will always answer with love and might will always answer with joy.
This is the way of the eternal spirit.
But the carnal mind, which thinks that the life you experience through the biological machine you call the body is the alpha and the omega, will answer in the moment without regard for the eternal consequences.
You can always tell if someone has a revelation of their eternal spirit and the eternal spirits of those around them by how they speak to people.
The eternal spirit walks in communion with the seven spirits that are before the throne of God, for we are the mind of Christ.
But the carnal mind walks in communion with the spirit of this world and his mind is conformed to the patterns that have been programmed into him by the god of this world.
To regard this world through the eyes of your flesh is crazy. It is to ignore the counsel and power of all of heaven,
Do not forget that God desires to work in you, through you and for you. But you must realize that you are eternal as God is eternal and you are on earth to do a job.
Your assignment is a heavenly blueprint with eternal effect. If you had any idea just how wonderful the effect of each assignment is on eternity you would be grinning from ear to ear through every trial knowing that you are doing something truly marvellous.
To sow into the blueprint of a believer is to sow into the interests of heaven itself.
For most of the seeds you sow now will only produce fruit after you have left this earth. No-one who labours to prepare the soil and sow seed labours in vain.
Don’t bother yourself with fruit in this life. Sometimes you see it manifest but most times you do not.
Your job is to labour joyfully.
This is why those who have a revelation of the eternal spirit should be walking, living and working together. It is much better to be surrounded by people who have an eternal outlook on life than blind unbelievers who think that this life is the full extent of eternity.
You are an eternal spirit. It is a wonderful thing to realize that your body is just a temporary vehicle.
You see Abdiel, the carnal spirit cannot even see the kingdom of God. Only the born again spirit can do that. If someone professes to be born again but is not kingdom minded, they are fooling themselves.
And once you see the eternal kingdom of God, you will be excited about being born of both water and the spirit so that you may enter the eternal kingdom.
And in entering the eternal kingdom, your entire life shall be about advancing that kingdom on earth.
For what is this life but a place of choosing whom you will serve?
This life is the test and though it may feel long and unfair, it is but a drop in the ocean of eternity.
Choose eternal life. Choose to be aware of your eternal spirit. Choose to be filled with the Holy Spirit so that you may have the mind of Christ and walk in communion with the seven spirits of God.
Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Counsel, Might, the Fear of the Lord and the Spirit of the Lord. These are all you need to become eternal minded.
To seek first the kingdom of God is to have the power to rejoice in every tribulation. But to seek first the kingdoms of man is be subjugated by every tribulation.
The key to all heavenly peace and joy is to be eternal minded.
If you are eternal minded you will be obsessed with bringing revelation to all of the earth of what Jesus has done to secure eternity for all of mankind. You will proclaim His goodness from the rooftops.
Only the earthly minded are ashamed of the gospel. The eternal minded are proud of it, for it is the power of God unto the salvation of mankind!
Be eternal minded. Realize that you are already in eternity, busy with a small assignment in a short life. Lead as many to Christ as you can and bring them to revelation of their eternal spirit.
I love you Abdiel!”
I wake up grinning like an idiot.
But don’t let the grin fool you, we have work to do!
