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,
