Shonky Salesmen
Imagine
a genuine keen salesman who is busy selling boxes of HD 3D Colour
Stereo TVs and people open the boxes at home to find they aren't in
fact. They are old black and white very mono TVs.
Christianity is
Jesus in Me the hope of glory. If we talk about that, and have had some
sort of conversion experience but functionally we still live as atheists
or distant/separatist God merchants, does anyone understand it doesn't
go down particularly well? About as well as a professional juggler who
cant even juggle two balls two handed without dropping them.
So yes,
we can pray hard first before talking. Or fast. Or experience a praise
breakthrough, say in a gathering. But, fundamentally, we're not cracking
this communication lark, because most of our lives we live emanating
the same "separation despairs and anxieties" as when we didn't believe.
It just doesn't cut it. Every spiritual activity is about
binding/entwining our new consciousness about us, having ditched our old
one at the 2000 year old municipal waste dump which is actually what
Golgotha was outside Jerusalem. All the third level is, is that
breakthrough when we know Jesus as properly formed within ourselves,
much like a chick breaks through its eggshell, or the alien breaks
through John Hurt in Alien 1...except this is no alien...this new Jesus
life form is us coming home to our true self, without figleaves!!! So
please, no more conmen evangelisers with black and white "colour TVs"
