Author's Preface

The writing of this book came about by way of inspiration. I did not set out to write a book or have one in mind when I wrote this one. At the time of this writing, I had hardly turned on my computer, much less tried to write. I had been on a "lay off" of sort when it came to writing or doing anything of that nature. In 1999, I wrote some papers that would comprise the height of my spiritual understanding in the things of Christ. Beginning in the year 2000, I have been in a place of inner contemplation and receptivity. My consciousness has been kicked up a notch and I have just been trying to understand and live in what the Spirit has been revealing to me. I had absolutely no intentions of writing a book or doing any teaching along these lines. I was very much content to let this WORD keep working in me. In fact, I thought it might be much longer before I started to write again.

On July 11, 2001, I sat down at my computer with a small thought in mind. With that thought I wrote the poem "I Want". Out of that brief inspiration of Spirit, in which you can see my heart's cry, I began to write. The next day I sat down at my computer just to see what would flow out of me and I wrote what would be the FOREWORD to the book. I had shared a message on "Christ is all" at church in March of 2000, and this thought has been with me ever since; so began the writing of this book Christ Is All. The unction to write to that theme griped me at this point, and what follows is what came out of that gripping.

To some this book may appear to contradict a few things I have previously written. I do not see it that way; it is rather a further unfoldment of what I have been seeing of Spiritual Truth. Spiritual Truth is an ascending into greater understanding and revelation until we arrive at the Perfect Man. To change one's thoughts as revelation comes is a necessity to growing up into Him in all things. There is no absolute way of thinking that will bring you into the wisdom of the Mind of Christ; we all come up different ways. The goal is set before us, and we must be faithful to follow the Path that is set before us. We must be teachable, we must listen--listen for the Voice. My way may not be your way of ascension, but let us agree to ascend by whatever way we are called. I am not leaving any of the things I have learned of Christ, but rather, I am building upon them.

All I am really doing in writing this document is putting in print this stage of my spiritual consciousness on my way to the fullness of the Christ. I do not think I have all the answers, but I know the one who does. In some small way I hope this book will be a help to you and not a matter of controversy. You must hear the Spirit of what is being said and not so much the letter. I remain very much a teachable student of the WORD, but in the long run the final authority must come from within. Who I am and the Creative Power of the universe are One Spirit, and in that ONEness of Spirit is where Truth will be revealed. It is the anointing that teaches you from within, and we must yield to this anointing that we may abide in Him.

"As for you, you have an anointing from the holy One and have perfect knowledge. I have written to you, not because you are ignorant of the truth, but because you know it, and you know that nothing false comes from the truth. Who is a liar compared with him who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He who disowns the Father and the Son is the anti-Christ. No one who disowns the Son has the Father. He who acknowledges the Son has also the Father. As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father. And this is the promise which He Himself has given us--the Life of the Ages. I have thus written to you concerning those who are leading you astray. And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things--and is true and is no falsehood--you are continuing in union with Him even as it has taught you to do. And now, dear children, continue in union with Him; so that, if He re-appears, we may have perfect confidence, and may not shrink away in shame from His presence at His Coming." 1 John 2:20-28, Wey.
