The Love of God is so Great… It Had To Be Shared With The World
Monday, July 26th, 2010Hello Everyone,
My trip to Maine is almost over. It has been wonderful. The majesty of God can be seen everyday in the beauty of this coast.
We will begin our journey home this Saturday.
This morning I was reading the Odes of Solomon and I wanted to share with you some of my insights into Ode 19. I will begin by publishing it for you.
Ode 19
- A cup of milk was offered to me: and I drank it in the sweetness of the delight of the Lord.
- The Son is the cup, and He who was milked is the Father:
- And the Holy Spirit milked Him: because His breasts were full, and it was necessary for Him that His milk should be sufficiently released;
- And the Holy Spirit opened His bosom and mingled the milk from the two breasts of the Father; and gave the mixture to the world without their knowing:
- And they who received in its fullness are the ones on the right hand.
- The Spirit opened the womb of the Virgin and she received conception and brought forth; and the Virgin became a Mother with many mercies;
- And she travailed and brought forth a Son, without incurring pain;
- And because she was not sufficiently prepared, and she had not sought a midwife (for He brought her to bear) she brought forth as if she were a man, of her own will;
- And she brought Him forth openly, and carried Him with great dignity,
- And loved Him in His swaddling clothes and guarded Him kindly, and showed Him in Majesty. Hallelujah.
This is a very beautiful Ode and full of great wisdom on the Love of God.
Read it over again and let the hidden mysteries unfold in your spirit.
The Love of God
In John 3:16-17 it says,
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Fo God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
For God so loved the world…
Ode 19 speaks of a cup of milk that was offered to him and that he drank in the delight of the Lord. This milk is the life of God, Eternal Life… the Ascension. The Son is the cup and He who was milked is the Father.
Jesus came to bring us this Life… this freedom from the human condition so that we could be born into His Kingdom which is the Kingdom of Light. This great freedom is about more than heaven and hell. This new Life is about living through grace in the realms of Light. It is about supernatural life being expressed here on the earth.
Verse 3 tells us that the Holy Spirit milked the Father because His breasts were so full. Full of what… love for the world. “God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten son.”
Most of us have had an experience of love that is akin to the above experience. It was certainly not about the whole world but it was an overwhelming feeling of love for a person, maybe your child, that was so full it had to be released.
The Light Came Into The World
The Bible tells us that the Light came into the world and the world did not know it. This is reflected in verse 4. The Light of our salvation or freedom from the bondage of the natural world, carnal world or limitation of the human condition.
Don’t get caught up in old religious beliefs. This is not what you learned in Sunday School. It is far greater than what most people understand. This is about being birthed into Divinity.
Jesus was the only begotten of God. But he is also the first born of many. We are to be translated from the kingdom of darkness into the Divine Light. We are born again not as a “better human” but as a Divine Being able to do all the things that Jesus demonstrated while on earth.
How To Acquire A Body Of Light
Look now at Ode 21
Ode 21
- My arms I lifted up to the Most High, even to the grace of the Lord: because He had cast off my bonds from me: and my Helper had lifted me up to His grace and to His salvation:
- An I put off darkness and clothed myself with light,
- And my soul acquired a body free from sorrow or affliction or pains.
- And increasingly helpful to me was the thought of the Lord, and His fellowship in incorruption:
- And I was lifted up in His light; and I served before Him,
- And I became near to Him, praising and confessing Him;
- My heart ran over and was found in my mouth: and it arose upon my lips; and the exultation of the Lord increased on my face, and His praise likewise. Hallelujah.
It is ALL About God and What He Has Already Done For Us
Notice that is verse 1 Solomon of the Odes makes a reference to the fact that it is the Lord that has cast off his bonds and the Helper, which is the Holy Spirit (or I AM Presence) has lifted him up to His grace and His salvation.
It is God who has done the work of setting us free. The karma has been paid. The bondage broken. Everything we need for the abundant life has already been created.
The Bible states that salvation is through grace and not works. You can not do enough to separate yourself from the human condition. You can learn to improve your life in the human condition. But to step into Divinity… Bible Ascension, you must depend totally on the finished works of the Great I AM!
You Must Reach Out In Faith To Access ALL the Blessings!
In verse 2, Solomon of the Odes tells us what is our part to do.
“And I put off darkenss and clothed myself with light.”
We have to do the work of pushing away the old way of being and attracting to ourselves the new way. We have to stop thinking the natural thoughts and start thinking like God thinks. We have to use our faith to hang on to the promise of an abundant life even in the midst of the greatest darkness we have ever experienced. We must KNOW that what we have asked for in faith is already ours… even if we can not see it yet.
In verse 4 Solomon of the Odes declares that, “Increasingly helpful to me was the thought of the Lord, and His fellowship in incorruption.” This statement is in line with the Biblical teaching of being spiritually minded.
“For to be carnally minded (naturally minded, worldly minded, thinking as a human being stuck in the human condition) is death, but to be spiritually minded is life (eternal life, the life of God in you) and peace (nothing missing, nothing broken).
Spend your time thinking about heavenly things which includes the Divine Life that God has designed for you. See the answers to your problems not the problems themselves. Focus on the Promises of God not the difficult situations you may be experiencing. Don’t think about poverty, sickness or death; instead think about abundance, health, love, life and living in the supernatural realms.
Even though Love has made the way, you must choose to focus your attention and thoughts on the solutions God has promised. No one can control your thoughts for you. No one can decide what you will believe. This you must do!
I encourage you to read the Odes of Solomon often. Meditate on the words of this sacred scripture. Let the truth it reveals transform your consciousness and allow the Light of Christ to shine through you.
Be blessed,
Marty Dow
