Spiritual Rightness

Jesus has contestors. Just like altars to Baal and wise men who can match our staffs that turn into snakes, we have modern-day look  a likes in the spiritual realm. Other sects believe in healing. They may use healing or rituals or other unforeseen remedies. Other sects abandon materials to prioritize spiritual vitality and point to the richness of relationship, awaiting a new era. Other sects are extreme. Time and risk are barely a second thought to some trailblazers who follow other names and embody other messages. But our Lord, Jesus, the Son of God is not a spiritually blurry Savior. He is notjust a knowledgeable rabbi and salvation is only for those who build their lives on His foundation. As quoted in the movie, Cloud Atlas by a character who bore witness to her life, "There is only one Truth. That is why it's singular." His Spirit remains in those who believe that our living Father holistically demonstrated Himself among us through Jesus' life, crucifixion and resurrection. Even Jews who hold the richness of Yahweh's history and practice cannot cast out a demon unless they come up under their Messiah's name and wield it. Our spiritual rejuvenation because of Jesus Christ is our foretaste into the eternal things to come and it's just as spooky, sometimes unearthly/irrelevant or even hokey as all other spiritual avenues if Jesus' power is not made manifest. In His name we do walk but even Jesus said that if His works did not account for the message He bore than His hearers should discount Him. Whether you are Muslim, New Age, Hari Chrishna, Buddhist, whatever, manifestations are familiar and unimpressive. What is it about Jesus Christ that speaks to the searching heart. What is it about our Lord whose Spirit lives inside of us, that stands solid and justified while Baal's altar remains unresponsive or Pharaoh's wise men get their snakes devoured by Yahweh's? We stand on one name alone believing that when Jesus came into the world the darkness humanity had known was met by His light of meaning and the reality of His Father in heaven. We cannot "channel energy", meditate, heal, prophecy, understand apart from this Light of the World and all other gods are copies and perversions of lifestyles in tune with our Savior. Our intimacy through living and learning but most importantly, loving the Son of God and what our Father commands, keeps us in tune with this ultimate authority on Truth. I, Sophia, can only manifest Jesus Christ if I recognize the substance in what He promised in my circumstances, thoughts and desires and advance in them, but it is Christ who holds all wisdom and imparts it freely through His Spirit. I can only follow and love with all of me and encourage others to do the same. I know that this is what I will be held accountable one day for. I know that as I profess the truths of Radical Jesus, the Son of Man, I must be fully yielded to the message as well that my living would testify that Truth is true in me.
