A Disciple's Beliefs
I am
a believer
and come to believe
each new day
in God
of many names:
Creator,
Great Spirit
Most High,
Almighty,
Holy One,
Maker,
Father,
Mother,
Divine Choreographer,
Hagar's
"God Who Sees Me,"
who designed
and manifested me
and all that is, was, and will be
seen and unseen,
I am
a believer
and yet
come to believe
each day
in the Way, the Truth, and the Life,
the Light
of many names:
Messiah,
Anointed One,
Lamb of God,
Son of God,
Son of Man,
Yeshua, Hosea, Joshua,
Jesus,
as spoken of by the prophets,
augured by the tabernacle,
Passover,
Shavuot,
Virgo to Leo,
Lion born of a Virgin;
he reveals identity
by making real
the concealed
Story embedded
in the Words of the Prophets,
revealed
in the Mazzaroth;
he is
the Good Shepherd,
falsely accused
by jealous,
threatened religious authorities,
beaten, bled,
lynched on a tree
by Roman authorities,
for my sake, our sake
sweat blood in surrender to
"Thy Will not Mine be done"
he took my place,
our place on the terrible cross
and died
cried
"tetelestai!"
"it is finished"
contract complete
he rose
to fold his linens,
leave the tomb,
speak, eat
invite Thomas to touch nail holes,
lives
with the Creator
co-conceiving-creating the World
"Before Abraham was, "I am."
Lunatic, liar, madman?
Not to me;
Light from Light,
Divine Child from Holy Mama,
Son from Father,
ascended
on the fortieth day,
Eternal Dancer in Mystical Body!
He will take on flesh again
"on that day"
whose date
only God can say...
to show all oppressed,
by demons, addictions, world authorities
victory over oppression and iniquity...
to show the oppressor
the consequence of attachment
to worldly weaponry, war, winning.
to show the Truth of Eternal Life
Rebirth in Spirit. the validity of faith
liberate from bondage
save!
yes, save!
(As we speak, I am coming
to believe
the Slain Lamb
sits by a crystal sea
at the right hand
of the Most High
and will come again
to bring Eden's harmony
and his kingdom will have no end.
This belief comes and leaves.)
I do believe,
he has "prepared a place for me"
This day,
I am
a disciple
of the Holy Spirit
of many names
the Helper,
Power from On High,
Spirit of Truth
and of the Living God,
Giver of Life,
Love,
White Dove,
promised by the Christ
to empower us all,
if we choose
to answer the call
as Sacred Children of the Living God,
as High Priests
of the Order of Melchizedek,
This Holy of Holies
is to be worshiped
glorified
to be respected,
protected
above all else
the greatest blasphemy
is to diminish Her
in any way
to insist She break her anonymity,
to insist She name herself
as She is above all names,
leave Her be!
I recognize Her
in my heart
not by recitation,
action,
association,
verification by ANY worldly religiosity,
by ANY worldly authority.
I believe
She speaks
through the Prophets,
through dreams,
scripture,
people,
the wild wind, the breeze,
all Creation;
is found in chopped wood,
under rock,
has infinite addresses in
“the poor in Spirit,”
”those who mourn,”
”the meek,”
"those who hunger and thirst for righteousness"
"the merciful,"
"pure in heart"
"peacemakers,"
"persecuted;"
I see, hear, feel,
experience Her;
She unifies as One,
One Bread,
One Body;
in trust, in awe,
in prayer,
in vulnerability.
I work as I await
to nourish
consciousness of
Her Presence
in each soul
brought to me
in anticipation
of further Revelation
to verify
or deny
the Truth
I, a disciple,
have come,
am coming,
am lovingly led
to believe.
"Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people,
but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven,
but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit
will not be forgiven,
whether in this age or in the age to come."
(Jesus, as quoted by Matthew 12:31-32)
