There Is A Canyon In Eternity
There is a grand canyon running through eternity, we call it our cosmos. God never meant for there to be a chasm in forever, but mankind set off a cataclysmic event when Eve ate the forbidden fruit. Sin set off a series of calamities that eroded God’s original intent, thus carving out a deep rift in an otherwise perfect plane of existence.
The Great Dip is the valley of death. From where we stand everything appears “normal”. Time, to us, has always been. The heavens appear as lofty peaks of perfection we can never scale. However, the truth is, heaven is simply where we left off. Heaven is also, in the restoration of all things, where we shall begin again.
What we lack is perspective in the Great Dip
This place of sin, the Great Dip, is too vast for natural minded people to comprehend. All we see are rocks and dirt while the big picture eludes us. Unless the Holy Spirit gives us His perspective on the Great Dip we cannot understand where we are in relation to where God is.
It is this lack of perspective that blinds us to the truth. Having eyes we do not truly see and having ears we do not truly hear. Only when we allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us into all truth do we rise above our circumstance, seeing the gospel.
Light always has a source. Spiritual light, the kind that brings wisdom, has a source too: God. Without God’s wisdom we cannot understand nor can we comprehend where we are or even what we are. As I travel along, allowing His Holy Spirit to lead and guide me, my concept of who He is expands. As He allows me to see things as He sees things everything begins to make sense. Selah.

Dear Connections,
How do your share the truth to those who are in the Great Dip? After all, it is only because of the grace of God that Esther and I see this canyon of sin for what it is. All prophets and seers have stood, to various degrees, on the high points within the dip and some, like Isaiah and John have stepped into eternity. However, Jesus is the only one that understands what is going on though.
I suppose that is where faith in the Holy Ghost comes in. If you are in the Great Dip, even if you can see the rim, you simply cannot know what lies beyond it. The big dip is thousands of years wide and we, who live finite life spans, never fully understand it. God must reveal the truth to us and we must believe what He says.
Essentially, that’s all that Esther and I have done: simply believe God. Whatever God says we accept it as truth. We allow the Spirit to lead and guide us in our relationship, doctrine, and spiritual experiences. When God says something that goes against what we have be told by man, we err on the side of God and accept what He says. These days we just “know” by His Spirit, therefore we don’t eat of the forbidden fruit any more. We simply live by revelation.
Some may say, “who do you think you are that God would talk to you?” We are part of the Bride of Christ and what God is showing us should be part of the normal Christian experience of walking in the Spirit. We are not above anyone, it is just that many Christians have no yet allowed God to speak to them directly. We are outside the church because God cannot show us these things within it. Where we are in God is supposed to be “normative” life for all those who believe. We are walking in a present testament and living by every word that proceeds out of our Lovers mouth daily.
On both sides of the Great Dip, eternity stretches on forever. The Great Dip is THE anomaly of sin in an otherwise endless perfection.
David said,
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
Psalms 23:4
The valley of the shadow of death IS the Great Dip. It is a grand canyon of woe created by our disobedience. Many live in it every day, thinking that this is all there is when in reality, it is just a spec in all God has. The wages of sin are most people’s fake reality, but Jesus came to change all that. Through His sacrifice He paid the price for our sin. Through the Holy Spirit filling us we can rise above this world and walk in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. In fact, God says we are literally seated with Christ in heavenly places now.
Oneness with God is our destiny and it is a free gift available to anyone who asks. Becoming united with each other and with the Holy Spirit is as easy as breathing once you let go of your natural mindedness. We, like the lepers who came upon great treasure want to tell you about it and not keep it to ourselves. That is why we blog about our experiences on this site. We desire that famine be broken in your life too so that God can satisfy you also.
I have one controversy with those who read these words though: you do not speak up enough about your own experiences. Many read, are impacted, then take their leave without saying a word. The fact is that we need each other. We are facing something that is beyond any of us. Though the spirit of Antichrist has worked among us, it is about to become flesh in the person of the Beast. God in us is our only refuge in these troublous times. Speak up, connect, become with us and others so that we may all be one with Him.
In Jesus name,
Michael
Dear Connections,
What I call “The Great Dip” is a deception. Our present lives down here in this depression are an anomaly, which is to say the exception to the rule. Heaven is a place of great joy, peace and loving kindness. Whereas our universe is characterized by disorder, heaven is characterized by order.
God’s son, Jesus Christ, came to restore that order and to bring heaven to earth once again. In the beginning, there was no difference between heaven and earth, in was just one big continuum of Divine Love. Everything on Earth flowed together in perfect order. Only when Satan introduced his disorder into perfection, did the great dip begin.
This is important to realize because everything you do now, everything you desire to accomplish, has no relevance or permanence if it does not serve God’s eternal purpose. Jesus says,
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:”
Matthew 6:19
Peter says,
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”
2 Peter 3:10
Many find it destressing to think that the whole world and everything within it will burn up and cease to exist, but God has something much, much, better in mind for us. When we come to know what our Father has prepared for us, everything will be right as rain.
One of the aspects of writing by the Spirit is that you never know whom you are writing for. Sometimes I say things this way or that, without really understanding why I do. I believe though, that if you are reading this essay these words are for you from God.
Sincerely,
Michael
Dear Connections,
The general principle of the “Great Dip” is that whatever existed on one side will exist on the other. That is to say, whatever plan God had for mankind in the beginning is what God continues with once He deals with the effects of sin. Everything within the “Great Dip” is literally destined to be burnt up with fire.
Marriage was never created by God. Therefore, in the restoration of all things, people are neither married nor given in marriage. In Eden, we were naked and unashamed, therefore when we come into the New Heavens and New Earth we will be clothing optional too. Originally, the wolf and the lamb coexisted, therefore in the world to come, the lamb naturally lays down with the wolf absent of fear
In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were Spirit filled. The restoration of the Holy Spirit, therefore, is a foretaste of our inheritance of God’s new creation. In the times of refreshing all that was lost God restores. However, anything manmade or not of His creation, God does not restore.
To worry about anything in the “Great Dip” other than our souls is sheer folly. The fashion of this world is all passing away and God will roll it up like a scroll as He declares “it is finished”. Only what we do for God and what we become in Him will endure. In the beginning, we had nothing but what God gave us and in the end we will take nothing with us from this creation tainted by sin.
What I view as the main point of all this fuss down here, is to hear the voice of God and do His will. Salvation is the goal of what God is doing and to the extent we accomplish that purpose, we accomplish His will.
Many get very caught up in being right rather than doing right. Nothing in this world is perfect anymore, therefore fussing over pure doctrine, to the absence of necessary action, is absurd. Don’t worry about being right so much as do what the holy Spirit thinks is right at any given moment of your life.
Until you experience the things we write about they will appear mystical to you. However, these things are not mystical but rather just the way things are in heavenly places. Do not make the mistake of judging heavenly things by earthly standards, that is a sure way to miss the time of your visitation. Rather, open your spirit and allow His Spirit to lead and guide you personally. Trust His voice more than your own reasoning. In the end, all that matters is that we stand, with God, on the other side of the “Great Dip”.
Sincerely,
Michael
Dear Connections,
The Antichrist is called “The Beast”, because to be filled with Satan, he must be devoid of spirit. In the natural world animals do not have spirits and they act like it. Beasts are driven by natural desires and animal passions. Likewise, that man of sin is vicious as a beast and will not hesitate to do anything that furthers whatever he wants. The son of perdition is the perfect sociopath.
In this person, the father of lies will be made manifest to the world. This is why lying wonders follow him, which are anti-miracles. God says,
“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”
2 Thessalonians 2:8-10
I cannot say this enough, we are in the midst of STRONG DELUSION. The spirit of Antichrist is very thick because the manifestation of Satan is about to be revealed. This revealing does not happen in a vacuum, rather we have been prepared for centuries to receive the Little Horn. Hitler and the destruction which followed him, is but a foreshadowing of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
The only safety we have, during Strong Delusion is Strong Revelation. The power of the father of lies can only be dispelled by God’s direct illumination. This wisdom comes only by knowing Gods voice and doing God’s voice. In order to stand against this “Instead of Christ” (which is what Antichrist means) we must know the true Christ through personal experience.
One of the reasons that God asks us to do things that seem contrary to our natural minds is that He wants to train us not to go by what we know. We will literally have to believe contrary to everything that a “reasonable” man or would think to escape following after the Beast. God says,
“And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?”
Revelation 13:2-4
If you do not worship God you will worship the Beast. There is no middle ground any longer. To be lukewarm is death. Simply by not having enough oil at the midnight hour you will lose your soul to the darkness. We, as minsters of the gospel, have a sacred duty to prepare our people to stand strong in this hour of testing. The saints strand strong not through doctrine, but through experiential relationship with their Father. This can only be achieved through teaching them to “Listen, Hear, and Obey On time”.
Through time, prayers, and Spirit led obedience, buy oil of the Holy Spirit today. Learn to trust God’s Spirit more than you trust your own mind now. Strengthen your faith by stepping out into the unknown when God calls this very moment. In a little while your life will depend on it. His Spirit is beckoning, who will hear?
Sincerely,
Michael
