interpreting Scripture

The Holy Spirit's interpretation of the symbols contained within the New Testament book of Matthew, chapters 8 - 11:
Matthew, Chapter 8
Jesus is the symbol of healing, for healing comes from the healed Son of God. The unhealed cannot heal his self, but he can ask in faith and willingness, and the healed Son may heal on behalf of the Father. And then the one who has been healed may be used as a witness so others will come to know their own desire to be healed. (verses 1 – 4)
Jesus is the symbol of the healed Son of God, for the healed Son knows what healing is. It is oneness, where all are welcomed into the Kingdom as one and there is great joy. For from within the seat of the Kingdom, the Son knows who He is and He has not forgotten. But outside of the seat, the son is lost. And so he is crying for his Home but knows not where it is. (verses 5 – 13)
Jesus is the symbol of the one Son of God, for as He Is, so you shall know yourself to Be. All will be healed within their time, for what is the Son of God with less than every part of His Self? (verses 14-17)
This ministry is not a ministry of the world. Those who choose to follow will find what they do not expect, for what you expect comes from your will and your desire, but it is your will and your desire that must be laid aside if you are to be healed.Do not ask for what you want. Ask Me what it is that you need and I shall lead you to it. But follow Me in purpose and faith only, for if you seek anything else, you will not see what I am showing you. (verses 18-22)Peace is the sign of health, for the healed Son of God knows there is nothing to fear and there is nothing that he needs that is not given him. So he rests and does not fear, for he knows who He is. (verses 23-27)
The thoughts that are in your mind that you think are yours are not yours. Let the thoughts go from your mind and then you shall see that they are but thoughts of death. They are not you, for you are Life. Let the thoughts of death leave you that you may know your Self and may live. (verses 28-34)
Matthew, Chapter 9
Listen to Me. The authority within the Heart is the authority of God. Do not be confused. Your will is not the same as God's, but when you lay your will aside and walk with God, you will know that you are one with Him. (verses 1-7)
Forgiveness is for error. It is your judgments that must be let go, for it is your judgment that has been your error. When you let go of your judgment, you will see what Is. But if you hold onto your judgment, you choose confusion and pain. Let go and be free, or hold on and sacrifice your freedom. (verses 9-13)Let go of old habits and old ways of thinking. They have not served you. To hold onto the old is to [make] a future like the past. That is not useful to you now. Listen to My Word. Hear what I say. Practice it. Then you will know what to do. (verses 14-17)
Miracles are not what you expect, for you expect only what you have seen. I am here to give you new sight, and with new sight you will see differently. Have faith in Me and trust in Me. Do as I say and everything different from what you expect will be given you. (verses 18-26)The blind cannot see. The dumb cannot talk. And so it is healing they must seek. Know that it is you I am talking to. You are blind and cannot see, so I ask you not to talk. For through your words you spread confusion. Listen to Me and spread My Word. By sharing what I give, you will recover your sight. (verse 27-34)
Let Me heal you, that your brothers may see your Health and be healed unto [Self] through Me. (verses 35-37)
Matthew, Chapter 10I give you authority to teach through Me, but you are not yet the Teacher as I am. It is through sharing My Word that you shall come to know your Self, and so it is yourself that you teach through Me. (verses 1-6)
Teach yourself but this: God is within, and it is from Within that I am led.
To learn this lesson is true, do not focus on what is [in the world]. Do not worry about what you are to eat or what you are to wear or where you are to sleep. Focus only on the Word within and seek nothing else. Everything will be provided that you may do the work I ask. (verses 7-10)
Remember always that it is you that you teach. If you find peace in fellowship with another, enjoy that peace and be thankful for it. But if you find agitation, let your agitation go. Do not keep your agitation with you, for agitation is darkness. All who will learn of glory will learn glory is found in letting agitation go. (verses 11-16)
Remember that you are not alone. That is the lesson I send you to learn. The Spirit of your Father is one, and so you are one with that Spirit. Trust in the Spirit in all things, and do not fail on this account. (verses 17-20)
What you will see in the world will confuse you, and so you must not look there for understanding. Look to Me. I am your Guide and the one who knows what understanding is. Look to Me in all things, and you shall know Me even within the world. (verses 21-23)By making your will one with Mine, you will come to know your Self [to be] the same as Me. So give your will to Me that I may give you Mine and we shall have one will. (verses 24, 25)
Do not fear the world or what you see or hear there. I say to you, the world is not real. It will come to pass, but you are eternal, and what is eternal is real. Let your mind be turned from the temporal and fearful to the Eternal. For what is eternal can have no fear. (verses 26-31)You will know Me by choosing to be one with Me. Lay your temporal self aside. It is nothing. Your will cannot affect eternity. But My Will is eternity, and by knowing My Will, you will know the peace of the Eternal. (verses 32, 33)
Remember that all things in this world are temporal, so hold not onto them. You will not find peace there. Hold onto Me, for I am the Peace of Heaven. (verses 34-36)Your function is letting go of this world and your will within it. Only by letting go of the temporal will you find the Eternal within. Be not distracted. I am your Truth. (verses 37-39)
Let your Light shine that men may recognize the Eternal. For your Light is Me and I am your Light. (verses 40-42)
Matthew, Chapter 11John [the Baptist] symbolizes the search for Truth. Many become lost in the search because they know not where to look. Do not search for Truth in the symbols of the world. Nothing in the world can contain the Truth. The Truth is but reflected there. Let the reflection be as evidence that Truth Is, but do not put your faith in the evidence. Put your faith in the Truth. (verses 1-6)The search for Truth is not Truth itself, so do not stop there. Many have heard the call to search and have accepted it, but then they have stopped, thinking themselves complete. You are not complete until you are the Truth, so do not stop at the call. It is your beginning, but it is not your end. To find the Truth, you must walk until your end. (verses 7-15)
Do not judge the symbols [in the world]. Do not look for Truth there. The temptation to believe the world and its symbols is great because you want to believe the world. You want the world to be true because you want to be right about the world. And this is why I ask for your faith and willingness. It is because I am asking you to turn away from what you believe is true, from what you have known until now and from where you have put your faith before. Let the world go from your sight. Let it be but a vision of dancing symbols with no truth in them. This is what I mean when I ask you to seek only Me. Let all that you knew before Me go from your thoughts. (verses 16-19)
Listen to Me. When I speak of Truth, you think of others and think that My Words are good for them. But if I tell you that I am talking to you, why do you think of others? I have already told you that Guidance comes from within and the world is but dancing symbols. Are you ready to seek only Me? (verses 20-24)Give thanks that your Father knows how to heal you. Give thanks that he knows you must find willingness to lay yourself aside, and that it is upon this willingness that he patiently waits so that healing may be given you. (verses 25, 26)
All things are revealed to you when you are ready, for when you are not ready, you [will] not accept them. You think you are a lofty being with thoughts that are real and worth holding onto. You will not learn that you are Holy as long as you choose to believe that you are lofty. It takes Holiness to see what Holy is, and so you must choose to know Holiness to see that you are Holy. (verse 27)
You carry your own burdens now. I did not ask you to pick them up, and I do not insist upon you carrying them. I am the one who asks you to put them down. There is nothing of value within the burdens that you carry. Truly, they are not worth their weight! Your burdens keep you from knowing you are free, and so they keep you from knowing your Self. For, how can a man know his self if he does not know he is free?
Listen to Me. Lay your burdens down. You will find no treasure there. (verses 28, 29)
