The Ten Truths in "Being"
(The statements are linked to videos.)
1 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Through being “poor in spirit,” which is not to think more highly of one's self than one should, people receive the kingdom of heaven. The statement does not say they will receive the kingdom at some later date: it says it is theirs. This is a present time presented gift for all that are poor in spirit.
2 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
God’s people know there is more to life than they can understand and they long for the depth of the relationship that the Holy Ghost is leading them into; therefore, they forsake the worldly idols and are filled with Him even more than they have been to this point in their journeys.
3 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Meekness is the power of God flowing through His humbled people. This power flowing through His humbled and redeemed people give them a state of being like none other on this world.
4 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Upon the realization of being meek (humbled with God's power flowing through a person) God’s people want more of who He is and the life that is being received through their relationship with Him. They are thereby given rest in His presence.
5 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
The only ones who are able to give mercy are the ones who have received mercy. At this point in His people’s lives, His mercy is flowing through them bringing Him honor by doing so.
6 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
God is bringing His people through the revelational journey of knowing they have received pure hearts and telling them they shall see God. This is not stating when it will happen, but that they shall see Him at some point.
7 Blessed are the peace makers: for they shall be called the children of God.
True peace makers are the ones who bring people to God’s righteousness. They are not seeking to have credit for anything or anyone, but are looking to reunite people with God where the only true peace exists.
8 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
The only way anyone would go through persecutions in a peace filled state is to know God is in control and has it all worked out for His people’s good.
God’s children are separated from the world; because, the world does not receive the truth; thereby rejecting Him and His people.
10 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Heaven is the ultimate goal for all people who have received God and are being led through their journeys by His Spirit. God’s children know they shall receive heaven, and again this does not state when it shall occur, but is guaranteed to happen.
Being a person of God transforms people into a different state of being, and once they have passed through this Stage of Life, they know they are just being the beings that God has recreated them to be. This transformed state of existence is one Stage of Life closer to receiving Complete Peace in Earth.
