Message: I and God Are One: A Divine Declaration (07/06/'24)

Message: I and God Are One: A Divine Declaration Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today, I want to share a profound truth that has echoed through the corridors of time, often met with misunderstanding and fear. It is a truth that we find in the words of Jesus in John 10:34, 36: "Why do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son'?" The response to these words is often one of incredulity: "You, a mere man, claim to be God." This declaration, though bold, carries a truth so deep that it shakes the very foundations of our understanding. All great truths begin as blasphemies, whispered in the hearts of those daring enough to seek the divine. In the shadow of fear, the light of understanding begins to grow. Imagine a mere man standing before the multitudes, daring to claim his divine heritage. In his words, the heavens tremble and the earth holds its breath. He reveals a connection between the mortal and the divine, a love story that transcends time and space. This spark of the divine dwells within each of us, a truth so powerful it can change the world. "I and God are one," these bold words have been declared by prophets, saints, and seers throughout history. Though the world may cry blasphemy, they stand firm, their hearts illuminated by the truth they hold dear. Each of these brave souls has faced the same charge of blasphemy, yet they have stood resolute, knowing that the divine light within them was the ultimate truth. In the end, it is love's story that endures. The divine light within each of us shines through, revealing our true nature. "I am God's Son, and so are you," this is the declaration that resounds through the ages. In every heart, His light dwells, waiting to be recognized and embraced. Though some may see blasphemy, others see the great truth that we are all part of the divine tapestry. So, why do you accuse me now for speaking what is true? In this proclamation, the essence of our existence is revealed. We are not mere mortals, but beings of light and love, connected to the divine in ways that transcend our understanding. The journey of the soul is one of awakening to this truth, of realizing that within us all, the spark of the divine burns bright. In the face of doubt and fear, let us remember this: we are all God's children, and in that truth, we find our unity and our strength. The divine light shines within us all, guiding us towards love, understanding, and the ultimate realization of our oneness with the Creator. May we all embrace this divine truth and let it illuminate our paths. Blessings to you all, Pastor Steven G. Lee (July 6, 2024)
