Conjury, a Gift of Knowledge

 

Conjuring is not only uncondemned in the legal canon of the Old Testament but also is a great gift of knowledge. Knowledge is listed as a gift of the Holy Spirit, and conjuring, like carpentry, is a very valuable ability. When you can conjure, you have a tool chest in your mind's eye all the time! Conjuring bread, fish, wine, etc., shows one has a source of food with you everywhere you go when you can conjure. When you can conjure anything you need is always on hand.

The Old Testament outlaws witchcraft and wizards but not conjuring. Conjuring explains the multiplying of loaves and fish. Conjuring explains how the widow's oil and flour lasted so long in the prophet's blessing. Conjuring requires you to possess the knowledge; you have a mind's eye that can reproduce items from your experience when you concentrate your focus, much like a 3-D printer. When you realize that life unfolds in God's mind's eye, it becomes very apparent that conjuring is a gift of knowledge. 

Conjuring gives you the gift of a toolbox in your mind's eye. Every tool you need and possess is stored in your memory and is accessible to your mind's eye, allowing you to concentrate on and conjure it into a usable resource. When you know we live in God's mind's eye vision, even power tools may be conjured by your awareness. God is involved in your life to help you use your gifts. 

With God involved, even food is capable of providing full nutritional value when you conjure it. Bread, fish, and wine are all capable of being conjured. Any food or drink that you know and remember, you can conjure. Just recall it to your mind's eye from memory, concentrate, and remember that conjuring is a gift, and you can conjure full meals. 

Conjuring is a gift of knowledge. The knowledge we live in God's mind's eye vision. The knowledge of 3-D printer capabilities. The knowledge of what you want to conjure. This knowledge enables you to conjure tools, meals, and whatever else you can believe with the gift of the Holy Spirit. Conjuring can be a significant gift in your spiritual life.  

Witches and wizards were spoken against, but conjurers were not. The gift of conjury helps explain some of the Bible's miracles, such as the multiplication of loaves and fish. Living in God's mind's eye vision, it is easy to see that one's own mind's eye memories may be conjurable. The Holy Spirit is a gift and conjury is a gift of knowledge. God chooses to give his gifts when he does. You can't earn them, but you can always ask for gifts. You just might get them.           

Sacramental Life

 

Sacramental life, or life tuned to the sacraments, involves three sacraments and two major holidays. The sacraments of Baptism, Communion, and last rites, and the holidays of Christmas and Easter fine-tune one's life to a religious meditation. Living with these sacraments and holidays in mind helps one to center one's life on hope in Jesus. 

Baptism, the very first sacrament of Christian initiation, marks one's personal rebirth in Christ and is one's own personal Christmas Eve. At Baptism, your life in Christ begins. You are born again. The day of your Baptism, you are reborn into the body of Christ. Whether your parents baptised you as an infant or you choose to be baptised as an adult, it is as if you filled out a shipping label and paid the postage for your return to God, Creator of Creation. Every Christmas, recall that you are baptized, you are Christ's, and you are saved.

After the sacrament of Baptism, as you go through your life, you enter into communion with the Church and you receive the Sacrament of Communion. Whether you marry or stay single, whether you get ordained or remain just a member of Christ's body, your life is the celebration of communion. As you go through your days, weeks, months, and years, celebrate communion and remember you are baptised. You are part of Christ's Body. You are Saved.

Easter is the celebration of the resurrection. Let every Easter season be a reminder that you have the promises of Jesus, and you will be restored to life after death. Jesus not only resurrected the dead like Lazerous, but also raised himself from the grave to life. He is eternal, King Forever, Heavenly Father. His promises were made to you at Baptism with the final gift of last rites, sealing the gift package with the promise of your own resurrection to life without end. 

This summer, why not purchase and read a Bible? It is a historic, fabled tale too good to be true. If you can believe it, it promises the benefits of a living God and his blessings, and life without end. The only requirement is to believe and receive the new life offered as a believer. If you can accept the story, you will want to get baptised, join a church, receive communion, and celebrate Christmas and Easter. If not, you will have at least read the greatest story ever told. What else do you have planned this summer?
