REVELATIONS 7

Regina Dawn Akers refers to this chapter as the "Cliff Notes" for the entire book of NTI.
 I guess we could say the rest of NTI is commentary about these truths.

Regina also suggests that we not take them in simple linear fashion, even though that is the only way we can communicate them. These truths, through our willingness, are taking hold within us all at the same time, we don't simply move from one to the next.

That being said, I still feel myself drawn back to #1 "You are innocent." Unless I am open to that truth, it is nigh impossible for anything else to be revealed.

I would suggest reading this chapter over and over, and in your quiet times, prayer, or even any moment you remember to make your mantra, "I am innocent."

I realize the mind will vehemently object. It will say such things as, "Well what about when you said this or did that? That really hurt someone. Do you mean to tell me that was not real?"
"What about Hitler, and the millions he slaughtered. Is he innocent?"

I would suggest not even going there. Those are arguments of the mind, and as you know, the mind wants to be right.

The innocence we speak of here is the innocence of your Essence, your Being.

Jesus spent a good piece of his ministry teaching people the difference between who you are and what you do. The Scribes and Pharisees were the keepers of the law and they had rules for everything. Jesus seemed to bang heads with them frequently.
Jesus did not have a problem with the rules or laws, He had a problem with people who defined themselves by the rules and laws, i.e. those who said, "You are what you do."

Your innocence is not a matter of debate about what you did or did not do. Your innocence is a reflection of who you are-- a creation of the Love and Goodness of God which nothing can change or diminish.
Can you hold onto that one?

Even Paul in the Old New Testament proclaims that "nothing can separate you from the Love of God."


It is all summed up in (v 13-17):
 1And the Light of Heaven is seen to be that which is your Self. 2Its joy is your joy. 3Its gratitude is your gratitude. 4Its oneness is your oneness, and its Love is your Self
5Never have you been separate from Heaven, and never has Heaven been separate from you. 6For how can one, even for a moment, be separate from the one that is His Self?
