Heading For Healing 40: Present God

There was a concerted effort to get me interested and wondering about the context of healing. Why is it done in crowds, in front of people? The question was inculcated, thoughts were cultivated, and suddenly an illuminating revelation of reality was shown. Giving credit where credit is due, a catalyst to the concluding vision was an observation made by Manis Friedman in his YouTube video Why Jews don't believe in Christianity, which was that God needed the Jews and took them out of Egypt (4:30 in the video, and note his comments after 6:10). God NEEDS His presentation in this dimension. He needs Himself to be presented, to be put on display. We are to BE His image, verily His Milta (Aramaic), His Manifestation. We are to publish God here for all to see. Creation began with God's desire to BE manifest as our constant, and as Friedman notes, "It's do-able." THAT is Christianity.

The Jews are an everyman. Just as we are all born enslaved in the darkness of ignorance, the Jews were enlightened and converted through Moses' demonstrations of God and entered the death of Passover. Then, as a whole they left Egypt to freedom healed: "And there was not one feeble person among their tribes" (Psalm 105:37 KJV). THIS WAS THE REWARD*, THEIR GETTING TO BE THE ACTUAL PRESENTATION OF ALLAHA (ARAMAIC FOR THE GODHEAD). The Jews were not healed to run around willy-nilly after their own purposes, but to present God to the world that the whole world might be converted to become God's presentation, verily the manifestation of the Ineffable. That was God's purpose, and THAT'S what the Mount Sinai experience was about: "You shall present Me."

I believe that is why we are to GO to get healed, most often in a crowd where our healing will be seen by others and will encourage them: "They came to him from everywhere," and "great crowds followed him, and he healed them all" (Mark 1:45, Matthew 12:15 Alexander). Through this God is telling us that He wants His works PROMULGATED, demonstrated, published and presented. Many churches have services dedicated to healing where others can SEE your healing. You can go to the church elders separately for prayer and the laying on of hands, or have them come to you, that they might PUBLISH the report of your healing in their preaching. You can go to a Kathryn Kuhlman type healing service, or to a T. L. Osborn type mass-healing crusade. When my back was hurt in Hawaii, I flew to my church in California to get healed. And was.

But you do not have to physically go. J. Rodman Williams, my New Testament Theology professor, was in his study. Janet Gunther was in her private devotions. I was stoked in a trance seeing all reality as the Intelligence of the Ineffable. The thing is, we PUBLISH it, we present these things as evidence of God to the world. I am reminded of what God said to Dr. Frank C. Laubach: "I am in travail to set you akindle with the Christ-thing which has no name" (Letters by a Modern Mystic, entry for March 9, 1930). The Christ-thing is presentation. God needs OUR PRESENTATION OF HIM, OUR MAKING OF HIM SEEN.

Judaism and Christianity are not for our merit. They are for bearing witness and putting God on display. That is what He gives us life for--not to do as we direct, but as HE directs. Then what we do will be His "son," Christ. We are to father Christ into this world. That is why, says Neville Goddard, David calls the awakened one "Father."

If you want to be healed, TESTIFY OF GOD. God does not need accolades; He needs to be EVIDENCED. Why call the elders of the church? People BELIEVE them. Them. You, maybe not so much. They will testify truly of what they have seen. God wants to be seen, to be our reality. The Ineffable wants to be manifested. Its character, Its nature, Its values, Its opinions and emotions can only be seen in God's actions, which are manifestations of His assumption. HE HAS NO OTHER CORPORAL BODY TO BE SEEN WITH THAN BY OURS. God only has imagined assumption by which to act, but His imagination is all powerful.

Testify. His Life is DOABLE. The historical Jesus Christ at the end of the Season of Grace DID it: "You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God" (Mark 8:29 Alexander). And now you ARE Him.

* The original meaning of the Greek word euaggelion was not "gospel," i.e., "glad tidings," but the reward given for bringing forth glad tidings. The Jews entered into bearing, presenting the nature of God as seen in the Passover, and the healing and freedom of actually being His presentation, of being His manifestation, was their reward: "However, it is destined beforehand that you preach my hope (faithful anticipation--the reward) among all nations" (Mark 13:10 Alexander, "reward" is my enlargement on his translation; see Mark 13:10 and Matthew 24:14 in the King James Version).
