There Is No Spoon

Blessings to you. I have been excited and yet trepid to share this with you but it is so TRUE that I must. In fact I will probably expand this topic through several articles but suffice to say it is important. What we believe is crucial to all that we see and do, it determines who we are and where we are headed. It produces life or death, blessing or cursing it is the crux of our essense. In fact it is belief that stands between us and GOD, between perishing or Salvation. What we believe makes or breaks us. Scripture will bear me out. Jesus will testify what I say is True for He said it before me.

The title There Is No Spoon comes from the movie The Matrix. I am a big fan of the movie for the deeper Truths the movie conveys but this line comes from a scene in which Neo sees a boy bending spoons with his mind. The boy tells Neo, and I paraphrase, Dont try to bend the spoon just know there is no spoon! Woa, what was that? There is no spoon? Yeh but its right there I can see it and feel it heck if I hit it on my head it hurts. Yes but in the Matrix everything is just a computer program so there is no spoon truthfully, only information your perceive as a spoon.
Great well what does that have to do with us hear in the real world? Nothing and everything. Physics tells us we perceive things as solid that are not. Literally everything you feel, taste, touch, bang it to and go Ouch! are not solid! but waves of energy, infact we are mainly energetic forces with little to no matter at all. It is the interaction of these energetic fields that we perceive as solid! Does that make sense, I mean our whole world around us is but energy not solid mass. Thats physics not me saying this. I say this to show you that you too live in a matrix that you perceive one way and yet is completely different in Truth.
With that said lets go to Jesus and what He has to say and did! Jesus, unlike us came here without sin or a fallen nature. Thus He perceived differently than us. The god of this world had blinded us but not Him. He came to destroy the works of the devil and to do good. He destroyed him who had the authority over death and hell. Jesus took that authority from satan and gave us His authority. Jesus said of the the devil he was a liar and no truth was in him. Satan is described as I quoted as the god of this world. So somehow this world lies to us and we have believed it. Jesus said the Truth will set you free, all who are freed by the Son are free indeed. Jesus showed us what we perceive as real is not Truth. HE is Truth and HE confounded the world.
To clarify more let me give you an example and I will use a commentary by Bill Johnson whose book Dreaming With GOD..I had just finished. In it Bill describes the episode with the disciples being on the boat in a horrid storm and Jesus is Sleeping. They wake Him up and declare "Dont you care that we perish!" at this Jesus calmy rebukes the storm and turns to the disciples and says " Where is your faith?" Bill comments that in Jesus' life there were NO storms and this struck Truth with me. How else could He sleep in the midst of something so powerful that seasoned fishermen were in fear of their lives. Because in Jesus Kingdom, His world, His LIFE there are No storms..the lie layed in the hearts of those who saw and perceived the storm. Jesus did not see the world He saw His FATHER and in Him there are no storms! Praise GOD! In Him there are no fears doubts and unbeliefs and we are given moment by moment the opportunity to live in HIM by faith.
Paul says "We walk by Faith NOT by sight" Faith (Trust, Love, Relationship with GOD) sees and tells us something far different than the world tells us. Faith based on the character of GOD and the Word of GOD tells us something completely different than the News or the world in general. It tells us your Heavenly Father Loves you and cares for you and wants the best for you. His LOVE knows no bounds it is infinite and He is more than willing to pour it out on us. The question is are you willing and ready to receive it, to Believe it? That is the point.
You see in Light of Christ and in the Light of Christ nothing that contradicts HIS word can stand! Literally, it does not exist! In Christ the world that wants to bring you down it is the spoon and THERE IS NO SPOON...In Christ! We then must do as Jesus said Seek Ye First The Kingdom of GOD and All These Things Will Be Added Unto You! So our purpose is to seek GOD, to know Him to hear Him to be wrapped up in His presense 24/7 and to be in LOVE with Him. In that place there is no sickness, lack, famine, hungar there is nothing that contradicts HIS Word. Be Still and KNOW that I AM GOD Ps 46:10...be still my Brothers and Sisters Be Still and tell the world " I see you but I dont BELIEVE you....I BELIEVE my FATHER!!" GOD bless and my prayers are with you. I pray that you will grow in the Grace and Knowledge of our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST...In HIM we are Free, we are LIGHTS and the darkness cannot overtake us!!! AMEN JB
