The introduction is just so you can make a bit of sense from what follows. This is my own reflections and working out with God the reality I'm learning to grasp through Dekker's story. If you happen to have read the books, you will understand where I'm coming from. And if not, it just might awaken an appetite!
..................
Outlaw.
I am Outlaw.
Dead to the law. Dead to sin. Dead to the world.
Alive to the ever-present now of my Father.
Unbound.
My true self is unbound, not held to the flesh or the restraints of time and space. My true self is seated with Christ in the heavenlies! I am held in Jesus, He in me, in this eternal now!
I can never be closer to Him than I already am.
He will never let go, never cast me out. Nothing can ever separate me from Jesus. I am safe.
I only wear this body, this costume, for a little while. Time is nothing to my Father God. The mind of insanity, my dead mind, would keep me blind and deaf to reality. It screams that my Father does not love me, does not see, does not hear. That I am of no consequence to Him. It would keep me ensnared to this flesh and the madness enmeshed in the skin of this world.
But I am Outlaw. Dead man walking. The insane self is dead and I do not have to listen to her. Most of my life, I have listened. But I have a power that is supernatural. Not bound by time, space, and flesh. A power from my Father's dimension. I can change my mind.
I have the mind of Christ. Truth. Reality.
I am held in Jesus, one with Him in the eternal now. Metanoia. Repentance. To change the mind. Let go of the insane, dead mind. That one who keeps me confined to the costume. Clinging to whatever she thinks will save her.
Because in truth, I am safe. Everything my dead self thinks is safety and security, everything she thinks she needs? It's an illusion. A mirage. I can walk through any desert, and storm, any fire, any valley of death....and find it to be only a shadow. I am safe. Kept forever in my Savior. Nothing can touch the real me. Nothing.
I don't need to run into the arms of Jesus for comfort and refuge because I am already there. In Him. And I can never be taken out of Him. There are no limits of flesh her. Time and space mean nothing to Him. Only the forever now.
I. Am. Free.
.................
I will forget. I do forget. Every day. The mists of this world, of the Shadowlands, rise thick before my eyes; the demons scream delusions in my ears. It lies heavy on me, threatens to drown me. But only as long as I think that my costume is me. Only as long as I listen to the mad babblings of my insane self.
In TRUTH, in my Father's dimension? I am free. The troubled sea can only drown me if I allow it.
I am Outlaw. I can walk on water. I can see a hidden dimension. I can rise above this costume and walk free.
I live in LOVE. I live in the LIGHT.
And I am light. Love and light are in me, flowing through and out of me like a mighty river. There is no dam holding back this river of life. It is only an illusion. The only release I need to let the river flow out of me into this world......is to see. Open my eyes wide, full of light, and see my Father. See His reality.
The TRUTH will set you free.
Whoever the Son sets free is free indeed! Free in TRUTH. No strings attached. I need only to change my mind and see that I am free. Nothing holds me back. Not in Reality. No law, no costume of flesh, no mist of the Shadowlands. I am dead. Outlaw. Outside the law of sin and death. This world has no power over me! The evil one has no power over me! I am with Jesus. One with my Father. One with the Spirit of Truth.
I am safe. I am free. I am Christ's.
AND CHRIST IS ALL!!!
