Eating the Pudding

Many times, it has been eloquently stated in many ways that we cannot tell goodness of the pudding until we eat it. Once we eat the pudding then we will know. Jesus kept His Father’s love on the throne of His heart, all the way to the cross. Still, he asked God why he should drink of this cup.  It is obvious that later he understood that the will of God was more important.

The Beneficiaries of deceit

After reading about the Crucifixion of Jesus I have no doubt that God had provided something good thereby. I gleaned among other things that God was providing us wisdom to understand that human beings were selfish and flawed. They could be easily influenced by religious power, and wealth. This led me to beg the question who the beneficiaries of the crucifixion of Christ were.  I had to wonder what I would have done, knowing what I know now if I were among the congregation at the crucifixion. Would I have asked who would benefit from Jesus’ Crucifixion.

I am convinced that God knows best.  My existence is evidence of this fact. I have not been able to find scripture, or any other document created by humans that provides evidence to show any incident throughout the annals of time more horrific than the Transatlantic slave trade. One must ask from whence did the resilience come to endure such an event for such an extended period. They too, understood that the will of God was of utmost importance. How could such an event affect the mentality of so many people for so long? Deception!

Does Human Sacrifice Bring Spiritual Blessings?

I am, thank God, NOT a bigot or a racist. I believe however that events in the physical dimension can alter humans to believe things that are not true causing them enormous grief. One must ask, nonetheless, how many times people fettered to bondage have asked God why they should drink from this cup. Great things happened because of the Crucifixion of Jesus. Will great things happen because of the human bondage of some unique black people that some believed were even more horrific that the Crucifixion of Jesus? If we can believe that the entire Planet was enlightened to TRUTH by Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross, and that God is just and good, then it would not be unreasonable to assume that bondage of black people would not also provide benefits to all humanity. It is only a matter of time. This is why I am sharing this information this morning.

What about TRUTH

Our attitude toward the truth determines the outcome of our lives. If we don’t love the truth, if we resist it, we resist salvation. But if we do love the truth then we embrace salvation and we receive the reward: the crown of life. If this is a true statement, then why do so many people default to deception? Some of us are blessed, as we have walked through the proverbial “shadow of the valley of death” either in real-time or through our genetic makeup.  We are genetically endowed by the long suffering of our ancestors. We are endowed also by projections perpetrated upon us continually through the same dictates, and by the same reasons why Jesus was crucified on the cross, because greed, power, and the fear of losing unfounded prestige.

The Proof is in the Eating

It may look good, smell good, feel good, sound good, or even taste good with a simple lick of the tongue. Until it has been digested its goodness is still unknown. Those that have endured hardship know exactly what it is like. Those born with silver spoons in their mouths will never know. They have only experienced feast; famine has been out of the question. They have never drunk from that cup. They can only speculate, and their speculation is steered by events of the physical dimension exclusively that they eroneously perceive to be sublime. Others that have tasted the pudding, or drunk from the bitter cup, have wisdom that is misunderstood, but cannot be denied.

If one has occasioned unbearable physical pain for a season, God has provided them an escape mechanism to endure this pain if they can understand as did Jesus, that God’s will is sublime. These are the people that can bite their lips and endure the trips. They understand, as did Jesus, that their sacrifices are for good in the future. These are the people that could sing, dance, and enjoy their lives despite their limitations in that particular season that they understood to be only temporary. They dumped the experiences of their longsuffering into the genes of their offspring with faith, and no doubt, understanding that God’s purposes are good.

Perusing Different Dimensions

People that have endured hardships for a variety of seasons, amounts known by God exclusively, at some point, recognize the purpose for their conditions in the physical realm.  They are blessed with the wherewithal to engage dimensions unobtainable by those that have not drank from this cup. They are blessed to go to the top of the mountain and see down into the valley. They can indulge dimensions unseen by others. They understand, as did the Apostle Paul, that things that are “seen” are “temporary”, and things like the mental and spiritual realms are everlasting. They know TRUTH from fantasy, unlike those bereft of these blessings, and wisdom garnered by humiliation and long suffering.

Many have seen the crooked cross and the burning cross. These versions of a cross are frightening for some.  It is evident that these two crosses are designed to provoke fear but have enabled some to acquire enhanced flexibility to engage dimensions only accessible by them to further understand the will of God.  Fear is designed in the physical realm to affect emotions within the mental realm.  Those that have mastered mental and spiritual dimensions are now greatly strengthened by fear, enabling them to perform positive, but stealthy actions that can alter the physical dimension seamlessly.

Did Our Ship Arrive?

Some have become masters at changing sordid narratives for the good of all humanity. Those unfamiliar with these blessings are clueless of what is occurring. It is becoming more apparent as the seasons change. As they did on Calvary, they chose a criminal over an honest person.

Apostle Paul stated that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. Those with wisdom of a jaybird can understand that faith is promulgated within the mental dimension and it provides a portal to the spiritual dimension. 

Faith Vs Doubt

Most understand that faith and doubt are tenants of the mental dimension. If one is unable to think, truly neither faith nor doubt can occur. If one thinks in a fashion that is not pleasurable to God, then there is doubt. This is why it is so important for us to understand the dynamics of the mental realm.

Both the mental and spiritual dimensions are “not seen.” Many observing is now realizing that the humiliation, and long suffering of their ancestors are dumped into their genetic makeup and becoming the catalyst to enlighten the Planet about the virtues of TRUTH once again. Thank God!

Stay vigilant!
