CONTINUAL CLOSE CONTACT

Trusting Jesus.  I needed a very personal contact with God.  I certainly did not think it would be cool to be a Christian, but I had a big encounter with Jesus thirty something years ago in Kona, Hawaii.  A year later at a CDTS at YWAM, Jesus continued to reveal himself to me in a very personal way, then years later I saw him standing and holding his kingdom in Mazatlán, Mexico.  My life has been built upon a continual close contact with Jesus because of the time I spend with him each morning.

My understanding of life has been expanded with experience and knowledge.  One person on a planet of 7 billion, hurtling through space at a fantastic speed, open to the cosmos and co-existing with various other dimensions – me, a spirit temporarily in a human body with eternity before me, yet with physical, emotional and psychological requirements/needs. Including a need to be connected to other people as well as to my own life and experience. Living this life in experience and knowledge magnifies how much I need to know Jesus and understand not only why he came to earth, but his experience here. I draw strength from what he did and solace that as he came for me here, he has gone to prepare a place for me in the heavens. And I will follow him there as I have here.

Now it is my turn to experience a bit of what he did:  he left heaven and came here, as he grew he understood where he came from and who he was.  It must have been completely mind warping to grow up and understand the mission and continue to live as a man, have friends, be here and part of the creation, and then rescue it.  He sweated blood over it. The stress, knowledge, task, and juxtaposition from being a man with friends to returning to be with the Father was overwhelming – but he came for us, opened the way/road to heaven through himself, and is here helping us and there waiting for us.  We can do it because he did it and is here with us strengthening and helping us.   We can do it because he went first. Nonetheless, our true situation on this planet and in the multiple dimensions is mind warping and a bit of what Jesus had to deal with coming to us from heaven, living here and returning to heaven.
