| Posted 9/16/2008 8:03 AM (GMT -6) |   | | It is the Father's Will that his Children be continually filled with the Holy Spirit of Christ. Christ himself in his very being shows us that. Christ was the perfect (complete, whole, holy) human being.
Now, Christ also tells us that if we ask for anything for the glorification of the Father, according to His will, and in Jesus' Name...that Jesus Christ-the-Logos himself for do it for us.
Check this out.
What if we ask Jesus, in his Name and for His' Name's Sake, to continually fill us with His Holy Spirit every present moment of our lives, bearing His Presence within us in every present moment?
1) Do you think Jesus would answer this prayer?
2) What would look like?
3) Would it have anything to do with the "I, not I, but Christ-in-me" concept and how?
4) Would it have anything to do with "divine sonship" and how?
Our Father
Who is in Heaven
Holy is your Name
Let Your Kingdom Come
Let Your Will be done
On Earth Below,
As it is in Heaven Above...
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

| Posted 9/22/2008 7:04 AM (GMT -6) | | YEAH... Now we're talking! Love this thread..yeah, now I'm the "thread judger" haha.. Sorry.
But I do I think about THIS a lot.
What if we ask Jesus, in his Name and for His' Name's Sake, to continually fill us with His Holy Spirit every present moment of our lives, bearing His Presence within us in every present moment?
1) Do you think Jesus would answer this prayer?
A. Yes.
2) What would look like?
B. Probably nothing like we would expect - at first. And then in hindsight, it would be exactly what we thought Jesus would do...
It would be peaceful, strong, and effective. We would see the things we are supposed to see and hear the things we are supposed to hear and do the things we are supposed to do...rather than getting distracted by the worlds stuff. We would be happier/more content people.
3) Would it have anything to do with the "I, not I, but Christ-in-me" concept and how?
Yeah, because Christ in me is the real me. I am my best I when I am aware of Christ in me...aren't I? :D
4) Would it have anything to do with "divine sonship" and how?
not sure what you totally mean by this...I think I know, but I should read the entire last year on the board before I attempt to answer this one. 
"When one has once fully entered the realm of love, the world — no matter how imperfect — becomes rich and beautiful, it consists solely of opportunities for love."
~ Soren Kierkegaard

| Posted 9/22/2008 8:10 AM (GMT -6) | | Great stuff, Selah. I would definitely agree with this statement...
3) Would it have anything to do with the "I, not I, but Christ-in-me" concept and how?
Yeah, because Christ in me is the real me. I am my best I when I am aware of Christ in me...aren't I? :D
Sweet. Say, take a look at this description of Christian mysticism by Harvey Egan. Tell me what you think about it. I'd really like your take.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
