The Throne Room: Honor Whom God Made

The New Covenant of Love

The Throne Room: Honor Whom God Made. When our lives are void of validation, acceptance, and love, we are prone to living in an environment of condemnation. When we are living within  the old man –we walk in the dark, we are Zombies, the walking dead. Zombies are self-serving dead beats and vampires of people, places and things, addicted to the dark because they hurt. Hurting people don’t love themselves; the lack of love, validation and acceptance produces fear in all kinds of manifestations which is mandated from hell.

The Throne Room

The Throne Room: honor whom God made, the sanctuary of our heart, the Kingdom within, The Temple of the Holy Spirit, with our inheritance with the saints of God provided a space for us to embrace our new identity to Live from the Tree of Life: The Throne Room, THE HOLY OF HOLIES! This is just the beginning for a life bathed in His presence; the gifts of life and love in Jesus Christ. The Throne Room offers validation, acceptance and LOVE–LIFE. The Throne Room is a thought away and exists in our very own hearts. We are loved in The Throne Room and we love from The Throne Room of the sanctuary of The Holy Spirit.

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil

The Throne Room: Honor Whom God Made. Following the initiation of the new covenant, returning to the Law was like returning to ignorance and futility. Ephesians 4:17-18 So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart. In order to love God and one another, Jesus first fills us with His love so that we can be done with searching for validation, acceptance, and love from the world.  Because all sin, past, present, and future is forgiven, we must forgive ourselves and begin to see how God sees us. We cannot be righteous or in right standing with God without the blood of Jesus Christ. When We embraced the New Covenant, we embraced a higher law of “right and wrong.” The Higher Law is Love. We can exit the state of futility; it is His will that we love ourselves: Love one another as you LOVE YOURSELF.

We are reborn into the fullness of the Tree of Life; the sap of Love.

The Throne Room: Honor Whom God Made embraces the gift of Love that always supersedes the Law. This is freedom. This is how chains are broken. Jesus gives us the New Covenant of Grace motivated and activated by love so that we are reborn into the fullness of the Tree of Life; the sap of Love. Jesus did the Ten Commandments for us because on our own we were not capable of following the Law. Honoring our life is loving the work God did when He formed us in our mother’s womb to be His ambassadors in the earth with specific callings and gifts according to His divine plan.

Can we really believe in freedom from self-condemnation, negative opinions, and the thorns and thistles of judgement from others if we do not love ourselves?

Can we really believe in freedom from self-condemnation, negative opinions, and the thorns and thistles of judgement from others if we do not love ourselves? The Veil is Jesus Christ: into the Holy Place of Revelation and Word–into The Throne Room in heaven and The Throne Room in your heart. They are connected–the two are one (John 17). We are the Temple of the Holy Spirit and we show honoring gratitude when we love ourselves. Honor whom God made in the beautiful and unique soul that you are. Loving yourself connects your mind and heart to God because you are enough–and above all God in all His love is more than enough. The Throne Room: Honor Whom God Made is loving yourself in whom God created is not selfishness but rather honoring what God created in the flower of your being and He adores watering and caring for that flower in growing all you are purposed to do in this life. However, narcissism is a different idea entirely. (Often, fear of narcissism is the reason we are fearful or hesitant to love ourselves.)

Honor Whom God Made

The Throne Room: Honor Whom God Made is a revelation in terms of the truth when we live our lives fully from the Tree of Life. This is the place where Jesus loves us well; washing our feet as we wash the feet of one another in the spirit of divine LOVE. When our heart is connected to the Throne Room of God we initiate the mind of Christ–because God judges the intentions of the heart. For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart (Hebrews 4:12) When we live our lives from the Throne Room we embrace a personal and intimate relationship with the God of all, in all, through all. Loving and honoring ourselves is necessary in believing in the impossible or unseen hopes coming to pass because until then we won’t believe we are good enough, smart enough, spiritual enough, educated enough, fill in the blank enough to receive love in terms of the favor of God who makes all things possible and all things to work together for the good.

When we encourage others and recognize and validate their unique soul, it is like pouring “Miracle Grow” on them.

The Throne Room: Honor Whom God Made;I am a flower, I grow at my own pace,I am always unique,Sometimes others may get in my way of thriving,Sometimes I can lose my petals when I’m feeling down.When it is sunny or raining I perk up my petals and smile,When it is storming and cold I wish I could migrate like the birds,I can support myself with the help of others,Rain and soil help me to learn and grow,I am rooted but I can be picked easily,I am a symbol of peace,I am a flower–Author unknown

The Throne Room: Honor Whom God Made; life is a connection with God, ourselves, and others in a people who abide in a Kingdom and a Promised Land of inspirations from the Heart and Will of God to fill, subdue, and have dominion over all the futile earth dispelling death and birthing life. When we live in the roots of the life of the Tree of Life we are sipping on Living water from an internal fountain of God. Living at the Tree of Life in the Kingdom of God empowers us to show a higher pattern of love to others. When we encourage others and recognize and validate their unique soul, it is like pouring Miracle Grow on them. The way we live our life will inspire others to embrace the love of God that is only found in Jesus Christ. The Throne Room dwells within our hearts; it is the Kingdom of God within. Living from the Throne Room means living from the heart of God; who dwells in our hearts in the Spirit. Loving ourselves from the Throne Room of our hearts allows us to love others from A Place of Peace and WisdomThe Fruits of the Spirit: Living in the Pause.

The greatest understanding toward healing and change for me has been in accepting that God created me and I am not a mistake.

The Throne Room: Honor Whom God Made. God loves me from past eternity and that is enough. The other factor for me in change has been in forgiving others who have done unspeakable things to me. The entire concept of love and honoring who I am and who others are leads to forgiveness. You know, it really is very simple to me: God is enough. I am enough. I love God, I love others, I love myself. I forgive God. I forgive others. I forgive myself. I thank God that I am alive to embrace LIFE and Grace in a futile world. I understand broken–God continually fashions the shattered pot and heals me. That is what a savior does for us folks beat-up by the world of darkness. The greatest understanding toward healing and change for me has been in accepting that God created me and I am not a mistake. It is my hope to continue to see others the way God sees them; no one is a mistake saved or unsaved.

God is Holding Me in His Hand–Creating Sacred Space 

The following practice helped me connect to God in a tangible  way. It represents His Kingdom in terms of transforming elements from my physical world into what God created in/with/through me; The Temple Life.

Meditation: I set up my personal alter to worship God. I often light a candle to represent the Throne Room in my heart. I pour a glass of water to represent the idea that The Throne Room of my heart is filling with the Living Water of the Spirit who dwells there. I smell something of the earth to represent the idea that God created me at the foundations of the world; He will be glorified through the purpose He designed for my life in this physical world. I ring a small bell to represent the air I breathe in gratitude and praise for the fact that He gave me breath. I rejoice in my eternal life with Him. I hold a small smooth stone to feel and hold that represents the idea that I am safe because God is holding me in His hand from the foundation of the world, through this physical life, and forever in His Glorious Kingdom.

Scripture: “Love your neighbor as yourself.

Prayer: Thank you Father for creating me at the foundation of the world with a purpose. I repent of not seeing myself as you see me–in the unique person that I am. I ask you to forgive me for any and all self-loathing and self-bitterness. I forgive myself and ask you to remove the consequences of this state and replace it. I ask you Jesus to bring me into a place of loving myself as you love me–a revelation of how you see me and others.

Intention: An intention is a word or short phrase that reignites your  purpose again when thoughts come and go during meditation. Create a simple intention that will connect you with loving yourself. Start with: “I love _____________ (insert your name) as God loves me.” Practice this every day for as long as it takes for you to embrace loving yourself for 15-20 minutes.

Proceed with your devotions.
