So... how do we get out of the Box? (pt. 2)

The first step, of course, is to believe in Jesus. If you don't, what he accomplished on your behalf is unavailable to you.

This is where we're at... Because of the choice that Adam made in the Garden, all of mankind from that point forward began to operate out of Religion. They forfeited their God-given identity, and took on the "do-to-be" identity that is the foundation of all Religion. This counterfeit identity has been passed down through each generation ever since... with no hope for salvation outside of performance. That is, until Jesus came.

It is my goal to share my revelations of Jesus with you through this blog. However, I want to offer you the chance now to begin your own walk with him. I encourage you to forget any traditional version of Jesus you have ever been presented with... and open your mind to the possibility that Religion has misrepresented him from the very beginning. But I have Good News for you... He will reveal himself to you EXACTLY the way you need him to. He knows you better than anyone, and knows exactly how you came to believe what you do now. It's this simple... if you want to make the best decision you'll ever make on this earth... just say the following and believe it:

"Thank you, Father God, that two thousand years ago you came into this world through your Son, Jesus Christ. He came to reveal your true nature to the world, and the true identity of Man. He fulfilled all the requirements of the Religious Laws on my behalf, and became MY sin. He took all of the curse, judgement and punishment that MY past, present, and future sins have earned me, so that I will never have to experience it... EVER! He was crucified on the cross, died and went to Hell so I don't have to. He was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit and now sits at your right hand in Heaven... and you included me in the whole thing. Thank you for giving me your Spirit so that I can begin to live the amazing Life you have for me."

Yep... it's that simple... if you said that for the first time, you have secured your eternal destination. You don't even have to understand it... in fact, I don't even understand it either. I can't even grasp how Jesus did what he did, but I am thankful every day that he did it for me (and you!). (Please email me at zoelifeforfree@yahoo.com )


So, now let's begin our journey...

First of all, Religion isn't done with you yet. It will immediately begin to challenge the reality of what just happened to you. Religion will have you believe that, though Jesus gave you a ticket to Heaven... your performance can lose it for you. Please hear me here: YOUR PERFORMANCE DID NOT EARN THIS GIFT FOR YOU, THEREFORE IT CAN'T LOSE IT. So, rest in the Truth that regardless of anything you will ever do, or not do, from this point forward, your eternal destiny cannot change. PERIOD. Even unbelief can't undo what just happened. You can't even un-believe your way out of Heaven... no matter how goofy your beliefs may become. You took a leap of Faith by believing in Jesus. You stepped out of the Box for an instant... and that can't be undone (not that you would ever want to).

If you never do one single thing different in your life than you've been doing, it doesn't matter. You're still going to heaven. You may not experience the quality of Life here that is your inheritance, but you're still going to heaven. This is very important, and it is a source of Peace that is yours for the taking. When life is not the way you want it to be, when you hit the inevitable "lows"... you can find Peace in the fact that God still loves you... no matter what. His love is the same on your best day as it is on your worst day. He loves you because of who He is... not because of what you do. God IS Love, therefore He is able to give it to whomever He wants... and on His terms. He wants everybody to experience it, and He has no conditions. He does not attach His Love to performance, and He's allowed to do that... He is God, you know.

I highly recommend you listen to the following mp3's called "A God you can connect with" -

So, let's get back to Jesus...

You see... Jesus was a Man. And He was God. This is the source of sooooo much confusion... and another way Religion can rob you of Life. By believing that Jesus had some sort of advantage over you, that what he accomplished during his life was done only because he was God, makes your ability to relate with him impossible... and robs you of any hope to have the same success in your obstacles.

I have much to say... but I'm going to close this entry with a bold statement for you to chew on. By saying the prayer you said above... by asking Jesus to become your Reality... you now have His Spirit in you. You just traded in the Spirit of Death for the Spirit of Life... and now......

YOU ARE EXACTLY LIKE JESUS. HE IS YOUR TRUE IDENTITY.
