Beholding as in a Mirror

In the previous blogs, I mentioned that in the spiritual, it is a shadow that creates the object. When we are hiding from someone in a corner, and we see a shadow on the floor, it is evidence that there’s indeed someone round the wall. If there’s a light (especially positioned in such a way that it can cast shadows) and you don’t see a shadow yet there’s someone hiding there, you won’t believe there’s someone.

Today, as I read 2 Corinthians 3:18, the same revelation returned, but from a different dimension.

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

In this context, the glory of the Lord is His word. When I envisioned this, God cast an image in my mind. Usually, we believe that the images in the mirror, are the reflections of who we really look like. But God said, for this case, what’s in the mirror (His word), is who we really are, and the object standing before the mirror is the reflection.

The assignment then is; are you really reflecting what is written? Not what is written reflecting you? For many of us then end up twisting it to fit our low standards.

Or, to make it easier, in the Spirit, we switch places. The word comes out of the mirror, and is living (Hebrews 4:12) and it is we in the mirror, and it to stand before us, so that we yield, bend and strive to be nothing less, nothing else, than what’s before us.

So that we be — indeed — what no eye has seen. So that we be — indeed — fearfully and wonderfully made. So that we be — indeed — the light of the world. So that we be — indeed — heirs of the world after our father Abraham.

If we do not switch places, then what I see, in the Spirit, is many men standing before mirrors but have no reflections! Many men are without shadows, and yet the sun — the light that rules day — is up bright high. If there’s no shadow — in this context — then we’d say one is a wind or a vacuum, a space… just like a ghost. Merely existing and not living!

Enter the mirror, and lock thyself in. And do not move until you reflect exactly the person of the word before you!

This is what Jesus did — in the mirror He stuck. He became the actual reflection of the Word, and when He jumped out, the notion was made: and the word became flesh! And if Jesus needed to go through that, then we must needs as well. For then, only then can we begin doing what He did, that we can do even mightier works.

The image in a mirror is usually referred to as virtual, and the object real. What if . . .what if our reality is actually virtual — a lie, an illusion, and the Word which appears virtual is the actual reality! 😳

We must needs jump into the mirror my friend!
