God's Diet Plan For Eating Beasts and Creeping Things

I don't think that anyone that has come to know who they are in Christ and as Christ, does not want to know what the rest of God's loved creation is doing or thinking. And that many times takes you on a journey through the mindsets of others. It is possible to get lost in some of their wildernesses of thought even though you may glean truths or information along the way. I have friends that have done so and I know ministries that have been sidetracked to such an extent that they have lost their faith in there being a God at all. Now do I believe that this is a forever condition. No, not at all, but I do believe that it is possible to forfeit your inheritance in the first resurrection or the firstfruit gleanings of God.

The words of Paul, "Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world", have heartbreakingly lived in me before when seeing some that you love make shipwreck of their faith.

When God let down the sheet filled with all the beasts, and creeping things he had some explicit instructions for Peter before he was to partake:

The first word was "RISE". Peter went to top of this house to pray about the sixth hour. This was the noonday hour when the sun/son is the brightest. It requires an arisen Christ Mind to know 'how' to eat of all things.

The second instruction given to him was "KILL".
We are not to eat of all things without 'killing' it first. The way that I see this command is that we cannot or should not partake of everything, necessarily, from the level, dimension or state in which it is being offered. We 'kill' it by not leaving our "risen" Christ mind state. It is death to us in lower dimensions, but becomes life unto us in higher ones. A similar principle is given when Jesus told us we could "TAKE UP" serpents.

And lastly Peter was told to "EAT".
When we eat an apple, we don't become an apple, the apple becomes us. It is taken up from the vegetable kingdom into the animal kingdom and becomes our flesh.

Now we know the whole of this story as Peter was refusing to eat because at the level he was first beholding these beasts, which was in the letter of their meaning - after all it was the teaching of the only scriptures that he knew that it was not kosher to eat such things- God had to take him higher for a true perspective. It could only become clean for him to eat from this higher level of the Christ Mind. For then when you eat you will only digest what is needful or beneficial and without condemnation and the rest will become waste product.

I think Holy Spirit may have a diet profile for us to follow, too, to stay healthy enlightened beings.

Joy to your world
and much love,

The Head of Every Man is Christ

I've made the statement before that I believe that creation may start their journey as a Buddhist, a Moselm, a Hindu, a Baptist, a Pentecostal, or an atheist, for that matter, but I believe that all creation will end their journey in the blazing light of Christ Jesus.

Now I know that that statement may sound narrow minded to some, at face value, because they may think we are speaking of the historical Jesus.

Paul's admonition was: "But I want you to know and realize that Christ is the head of every man...."
1Cor. 11:3 [that leaves 'no man' or no one out]

...the head of a woman (soul) is her husband,(until the soul is married or in union with spirit, she is unmarried and does what is right in her own eyes) and the Head of Christ is God.

For man(spirit) was not [created]from woman(soul), but woman(soul) from man (spirit)....

Nevertheless, in [the plan of] the Lord and from His point of view woman (soul) is not apart from and independent of man (spirit), nor is man (spirit) aloof from and independent of woman (soul).

For as woman (soul) was made from man (spirit), even so man [the New Creation Man] is also born of woman (the Married Woman or soul who has been impregnated with the Christ seed of the Man and bears Him a Child, The Manchild).

I'll share a testimony that I heard a preacher tell about a Baptist missionary that was ministering to a Buddhist while in the far east.

He was telling him all about Jesus, how Jesus loved him and died for him, etc. etc. and the Buddhist man began to weep with tears actually rolling down his cheeks and the missionary was thinking to himself that he was really making progress so asked the man if he would like to pray with him to accept Jesus and the man answered through his tears, "Oh, I already know him, I just didn't know that his name was Jesus."

I think that God looks on the heart....and where anyone truly connects with Holy Spirit, God meets them at the level of their enlightenment and desire for we know that no man comes to the Lord unless the spirit draw him. In this man's case, he met "content" before he knew "form". Many in Christianity only know form/Jesus, but alas many are ignorant of content/Christ.

Glory to the New Born King
