Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.” When Jesus heard that, He said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” (John 11:1-4)
Wow! Thank you! This apparent death is exactly what I am dealing with in the current series in AC. In being led to see which spiritual infirmities are holding down any ability to rise above the life of the infernal proprium I am slowly seeing the tendencies that are Not of a Heavenly nature. And the realization that they need to be rejected feels like a death and strikes fear in the proprium.
Yes, the infernal proprium is dead to what is good and true – through working with the Word a new will – an new sense of self – a heavenly proprium – arises. That new sense of self is the Word worked into the life, so the Lord with us, given to us as if it were our own.
Powerful and encouraging explanation of the LP process drawn from the Word.
I have listened 3 times so far. Each time has brought deeper unveiling, with the Lord providing comfort and strength to Come Forth.
Hi Simon – yes the Word has the quality about it – the deeper you go the more there is to experience
Thank you David for this. I hope we will be treated to more heavenly food like this. This is extremely helpful.
Hi Fred good to hear that it’s able to support you – as for more, while there’s inspiration something is possible… the work continues
